Ark pigeon mode, activated!

"I... want this ship to sink!"

Liliana said this with a trembling voice.

She realized that this was her only chance, to save everything or destroy it.

She couldn't do anything herself, and she didn't even dare to reveal the secret, otherwise the guards would be the first to kill her.

This outsider in front of me has no connection with anyone on this ship. I just met him by chance and came to take a look. He is the most suitable person to ask for help!

"I understand your thoughts. So, what's the price you can pay?"

Camilla continued to ask.

Liliana made this request because all her family members who had originally stayed in the Simonton Islands were taken on board the Gloria.

Being subjected to special treatment and forced to sleep, he is actually maintaining a state of suspended animation by the power of the curse. Once you try to wake him up, he will really die. Even if he is not awakened, he will slowly die under the erosion of the curse power.

She had no way to save them. For most people, being cursed meant absolute death!

So... let's die together.

Let's sink into the deep sea together and fall into eternal sleep...

"I have almost nothing. If you like anything, just take it..."

She shook her head and said bitterly.

"Oh……"

Camilla responded and looked at the refreshing words in her field of vision.

[Regional Request - Liliana's Wish]

It’s time to brush the task!

This is going to cause a huge uproar!

……

Chapter 284: Blade Master Tower in Action~

Liliana's Lamentable Wish: Liliana has learned some of the truth about the Gloria. On this boundless ocean, nations and civilizations are but insignificant islands, a drop of water in the ocean. Even so, life yearns to continue, still yearning for the future. Liliana senses an opportunity and makes a plea to you. She is calling for... help!

[Accept the most difficult commission: Save most of the people on the Gloria]

[Accept a slightly challenging commission: overthrow the rule of King Kajin and establish a new order]

[Accepting a seemingly easy commission: sinking the Gloria]

Ignore

Of the three commissions, the last one was indeed the simplest. It would be very easy for him to just spend some effort to destroy the hull.

Overthrowing a regime is not so much difficult as it is time-consuming.

The most difficult part is rescuing the people. Not only do we have to overturn the upper deck of the ship, but we also have to rescue all the people who are falling asleep. It is indeed very tricky.

At present, Camilla has no detailed understanding of what the curse is. She has never come into contact with or studied this kind of thing personally, so naturally she is not confident enough to solve the problem.

He personally wasn't keen on challenges, but this task would most likely be rewarding!

It's not just some small things you get from Lillian Anna, but a real reward from the pigeon system!

This is worth the effort.

After a brief consideration, Camilla chose the most difficult commission.

Since you are going to do it, do it as well as possible.

He's in no hurry at all.

In the real world, with various threats coming one after another, he doesn't have much breathing room, but here, he can drag it out for a few months without any problem.

He already has a certain ability to protect himself.

However, he can afford to delay, but those people who are forced to sleep cannot.

The official statement is that they will reach the destination in half a year, but that destination is the residence of the descendants of the mermaids, not the evil god!

God knows when we'll reach the evil god's territory. Tomorrow? Next week?

So... we have to stop this giant ship first!

Since the Gloria is parked here, he has plenty of time to solve the problems one by one!

After confirming some action plans, Camilla spoke to Liliana.

"Since you have nothing to give, then... I want everything, everything you have! Now, stay here honestly."

After saying that, Camilla turned and left.

After issuing the mission, Liliana was of no use.

Most of the information he needed was obtained through mind reading, and the remaining important information had to be obtained from other people.

After he left, Liliana quickly closed the door, then she slumped against the door as if she had lost all her strength, breathing slightly.

Gradually, a hint of fear appeared on her pale face.

She sensed something was wrong!

It was clearly their first time meeting, and even if he possessed strength that she could not resist, why did he just confess everything without even a few words?!

This is simply... her mind is being controlled!

If such an unknown being were to board the Gloria, who knows what kind of huge waves would be set off!

……

Camilla continued to wander around the giant ship. After accepting the commission, the next node appeared. However... this time there were two choices!

He can choose between [Unexpected Encounter] and [Battle] to enter!

He thought that [Combat] should mean dismantling the power module of the Gloria, or fighting with other people on the ship. If they were guys who mastered or even integrated cursed objects, it would not be difficult to defeat them, so it didn't matter if he didn't choose it.

In comparison, [unexpected encounter] may lead to interesting things or some key information.

After a little consideration, he chose [Unexpected Encounter].

[Entering the Node——Unexpected Encounter]

[Hanging Burial: You arrive at the small cemetery behind the great ship, where a farewell ceremony is being held. People pay their respects to the remains, then raise the coffin upright, open it, and let the body fall out, falling into a circular gap that opens to the deep ocean, as if jumping into the ocean.

You paused briefly to offer a prayer for those who had passed away, but the sound of heavy objects falling into the sea remained silent for a long time.

[Stop and Pray (Gain 1 dice roll, 4 Originium Ingots)]

Ok, kind of useful.

As for the burial at sea ceremony on the ship...it's hard to say.

Judging from the king's attitude, he might continue to collect humans in the name of funerals.

The sacrifice does not necessarily have to be alive.

New nodes continue to appear, [Fight], there is no other choice.

Camilla enters directly.

[Enter Node——Combat]

[You are determined to change the fate of this giant ship, but if you want to change it, you will inevitably encounter resistance!

You sneak into the lower level of the Gloria and find the power unit. Outside the giant cursed turbine, workers are adding fuel, filling it with cursed objects and cursed people. Guards patrol back and forth. After a brief observation, you find something amiss. There's actually a mole among the guards, also waiting for an opportunity to sabotage this place!

[The battle begins. In the face of absolute strength, all calculations are meaningless! He senses the mental weaknesses of these guards and, without revealing himself, directly strikes them all down with a single mental attack!]

【Battle ended, successfully passed, perfect tactics】

[Battle Results: Combat Experience +5, Originium Ingot +5]

[Combat level increased, hope +4]

The traitor... It seems that the king's forces are not monolithic.

This is normal.

Regardless of moral issues and other aspects, just talking about interests, if the king sacrifices all his citizens, how many people can benefit?

Packing up all the people in the country and taking them away is not something that can be done by one or two people. It must require the top leaders of the entire country to coordinate resources and manpower and work together to achieve it!

Among them, there must be people who disagree with the plan, and there must be people who will not get any benefits!

These are forces that can be fought for.

Camilla didn't think he could manage everyone on the Gloria by himself. After he dealt with the king and other forces and cleared up the chaos, he would still need enough people to manage the Gloria.

He needs to contact these opposition forces, cooperate with them, or control them!

As the next node did not appear for the time being, Camilla began to move and entered the lower level of the Gloria.

As you get closer to important facilities, the level of protection is significantly increased. Heavy metal doors block the passages, guards patrol back and forth, and some cursed objects with special functions are also used to monitor the passages.

But these were meaningless to Camilla. The reason he was discovered by others was that he was too lazy to hide.

If he deliberately sneaks in, just by using the trick of transforming the real into the fake, nothing here can stop him!

Stealthily moving all the way, and looking through the guards' memories, he soon arrived at the bottom of the Gloria.

At this point, the temperature has obviously risen a lot. When the curse turbine converts kinetic energy, it releases a large amount of heat. Even with seawater cooling, it is difficult to dissipate all of it in a short time.

Camilla followed the induction and headed towards the location of the cursed engine.

Then, he instantly discovered the so-called traitor among the guards!

……

Chapter 285: Blade Master Tower and the Ignorant Girl

What Camilla could recognize was naturally Elini, or rather, the object that Elini reflected!

She was a petite girl, about the same height as him, with long silver-gray hair. She was wearing a black and white outfit, decorated with lace, gauze, ribbons and other elaborate decorations. When she looked around, she exuded a unique Victorian style.

She held a silver-white hand cannon in her left hand and a lantern emitting a pale pink light in her right hand. The slender rapier at her waist was fixed through a belt with a cross-body strap. She raised the hand cannon from time to time, as if she wanted to aim at the roaring cursed engine not far away, but after thinking for a while, she stopped.

At first glance, she really looked like Elini, but she didn't have the racial features of Liberi, nor did she have the scar that Elini had that ran diagonally across her left eye. She was indeed another person.

Just like Liliana, she was affected by the cursed object.

Chimera's eyes fell on her lantern and hand cannon.

He could sense the power of the curse.

She was clearly out of tune with the guards around her, yet she still mingled normally among them, and no one noticed anything unusual. This must be the special effect of the cursed object.

So similar... What's the connection between the cursed object and the operators?

Thinking slowly, he was not in a hurry to take action.

He was thinking about something, this time it was Elini's memory mapping, in other words, she was the protagonist!

So, letting her solve all this is actually the right solution?

He needed someone to manage the Gloria anyway, so why couldn't it be her!?

She also seemed to have noticed something was wrong on the Gloria and was working on a solution. However, it was far from enough for her to do it alone!

Let him help her!

Camilla stared at her, and her mental strength began to guide her silently.

When the girl followed the escort team and passed by the cursed turbine not far away, she finally lost control, raised her hand cannon, pulled the trigger, and hit the cursed turbine cleanly and neatly!

Once the hand cannon, which looked like a large pistol, was activated, a thick beam of bright light suddenly burst out!

The beam of light hit the massive cursed engine without a second's warning. After a brief moment where time seemed to freeze... BOOM!!!

The violent explosion instantly destroyed the cursed engine, and the violent shock wave rushed over with a large amount of debris, sweeping through the entire engine room in an instant!

After the girl took action, she immediately found a cover to hide, her face full of fear.

So impulsive!

I almost got myself into trouble!
