Chapter 181 The Storm Subsides, Make a Decision
"Captain, I just received some news about the outside world, which is somewhat credible."
A sturdy man wearing blood-red scale armor and surrounded by black spoke to the person in front of him.
Hear what his subordinates say.
The captain of the Burning Blood Hand turned around. He was a sturdy man about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a full set of red and black soft armor. The most conspicuous part was the armor on his hands.
There was a faint glow emanating from it, as if a blood-like flame was burning.
"News from outside? Who here would be so kind as to spread the information from outside, huh."
He chuckled twice and said.
He turned around and sat directly on his black steel seat.
But he still shook his hand gently and said, "Tell me what the news is."
The burly man below nodded.
"This news comes from a member of the white bird-headed ship. The news is that if you do not become a Toucher and still go to the outside world, you will quickly weaken over time until you die."
Hearing this, the man above put his hand on his chin and tapped the armrest of the seat lightly with his other hand.
Thinking about something.
After a while, he smiled and said jokingly: "It really fits the nature of the church."
They will more or less make a simple analysis and understanding of the ships around here based on the known information.
I don’t know whether they are enemies or friends, but it’s always a good idea to have more information.
Alka and his crew's Voice of the Dawn was a brand new ship that still had some traces of having come from the church shipyard.
Almost everyone who can be recognized is counted as a member of the church.
After all, although the church's ship forging technology is advanced, it is almost never open to the outside world.
Although this ship does not fly the church's flag, it is at least a ship that has a close relationship with the church.
"It seems that this news is quite credible." said the person sitting above.
If this news came from other people's mouths, it would not be very credible.
But if it comes from the mouth of someone from the church, it would be very feasible.
Because this news is very consistent with the teachings of the Church of Our Lady, and there are indeed many ordinary people on many of the surrounding ships.
In the eyes of those who knew the news, it was equivalent to taking these people to their deaths.
It is completely reasonable to spread this kind of news.
After a brief thought, the captain made up his mind and said, "Go and screen the members on the ship who have not become touchers, and bring those who are capable and whose contributions are not enough to go through the touching ceremony. For the others who do not meet the standards, give them some money and let them leave."
Hearing the order, the strong man below nodded and started to act.
As he left, the surroundings became quiet.
"It's in line with the church's teachings, and it also contains information from the outside world... Interesting." A soft murmur came from the room.
Jason spread the news throughout the island and made no effort to hide his identity.
This is also the suggestion made by Alka. This way, the feasibility will be higher and more people can be saved.
Some people listened to this advice and began to send away ordinary members of their ships, while some people ignored the news as if it were nonsense.
Until the Blood-Burning Hand began to send away ordinary members of its own ship.
"Are you saying that Keck has also started to disband the ordinary members of his ship?"
On the Sword of Valor, a maverick female captain asked her subordinates loudly.
The person who delivered the message was a lame man with a long-handled rock-shaking gun on his back.
He looked at his female captain, conveying the message seriously.
"Yes, Cake is also disbanding the members on his ship."
The female captain had to seriously examine the news.
When she first heard the news, she didn't want to pay any attention to it.
Don't listen too much to these rumors at sea, especially at this time.
During this period of time, countless true and false news were mixed together, making it impossible to distinguish them.
The best thing to do is to listen to nothing .
The best option is to completely isolate yourself from mixed true and false news.
There are many people who spread all kinds of false information and are willing to do such things that harm others and themselves.
But it would be different if the captain of the Burning Blood Hand Hunting Group also believed the news.
Because the captain of this ship is strong enough and famous enough.
Being active on the sea as a hunting group for such a long time already means that they have control over information.
If even they believed the news, then others would have to think twice.
After all, the person who originally conveyed this news came from a team that had never been heard of.
"Tell me again, which ship was the person who delivered this message from?"
Hearing this, a woman who was blind in her right eye shook her head helplessly and stood up to speak.
"Jileya, why can't you understand this information properly?"
Hearing that his subordinate was about to ramble on again, Ji Leya quickly waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, go ahead."
The people around looked at each other helplessly.
The one-eyed woman who stepped forward said, “The one who spread the news was the ship with the golden figurehead of a bird.
According to inquiries, there are only less than 10 people on this ship, and they should be a treasure hunting group. The name of the team is Compass Eye.
Judging from the structure and newness of their ship, it is very likely that they have a close connection with the Church of Our Lady, and this news was deliberately spread by the crew on their ship."
After hearing this, the female captain nodded. If you think about it this way, the credibility of this news is indeed quite high.
There is no way around it; this is the impression the church leaves on the world.
If it is other information, it is very likely to be false, but if it is information related to ordinary people, the natural environment and major disasters, most people will choose to believe it.
After figuring this out, she gave the order directly: "Choose 42... No, select 32 ordinary people on the ship to perform the touching ceremony, and dismiss the rest. Remember to give them more compensation, after all, they have followed us for so long."
Hearing the captain's order, the crew members nearby nodded in unison.
"yes."
In addition to those who listened to advice, there were many others who did not, or to them, it didn't matter whether the ordinary people on the ship died or not, as they were just cannon fodder.
"Your Highness, this news is very credible. Are you really not going to react?"
On the Tulip Empire's ship, Prince 13, the leader of the team, listened to the report from the knight behind him and waved his hands irritably.
"I won't listen to it. These reports are all false. The people on the ship are my precious wealth. They are all brave warriors. How can I send them away at will? Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
"This..." The knight wanted to continue saying something, but was pulled back by his colleague and asked to leave.
The 13th prince put away the frivolous expression on his face, stood up, looked at the sea in the distance, and his expression became serious.
The Tulip Empire fleet had a total of three ships. The flagship was more than 50 meters long, and the frigates on both sides were about 40 meters long.
Ordinary people make up the majority of the people on the ship. Once they are all sent back, many things on the ship will be difficult to maintain.
Moreover, the reason why he brought so many ordinary people was that he never thought about how long they could live with him.
As long as they can play their value, there is nothing else to worry about.
There are many such situations.
…
At this time on the Voice of Dawn, Alka was sitting at the large table in the captain's room.
The cards in his hand flew left and right, sometimes disappearing, sometimes spinning.
Little Lucelia next to her was sitting at the round table, writing something, which could be seen from the information on it.
She is concentrating on the process of making the illustrations, and she is very passionate about it.
You can hear the melodious singing coming from the captain's outdoor deck.
Xia Daiti was also sitting not far away, drawing a chart of the surrounding sea.
It may not be useful, so there's nothing wrong with writing it down.
At this time, the door of the captain's room was pushed open.
Among the people present, only Alka, who seemed to be relatively idle, raised his eyelids slightly to see who came in.
It was Jason, who walked in with a somewhat happy expression.
Seeing his expression, Alka threw the card into the air, looked at him and asked, "Did something happy happen to you? You are smiling so brightly."
Jason nodded, raised his hand, caught the card in the air, and pulled out the chair next to Alka and sat down.
He handed the card in his hand to Alka and said, "Somehow, more and more teams are willing to disband ordinary people these days. This is more or less a good thing."
"Oh?" Alka was a little surprised to hear this. You know, when they first spread the news a few days ago, basically few people believed it.
There are very few teams willing to deport ordinary people, and most of them have few ordinary people in their teams.
The kind that you won’t lose anything by listening to.
So they thought for a time that these people would not dismiss the ordinary people on their ship.
"Why are they willing to send away ordinary people on their ship these days?"
Alka couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.
Hearing this question, Jason smiled, sat forward, put his arms on the table, and said, "Because several well-known teams believed our news, they all responded.
With their example, naturally more and more people followed suit. There were even many ordinary people in the teams that were unwilling to send them away, and many of them began to withdraw or even sneak away.
Now most people believe the authenticity of this news.”
"The first was the Burning Blood Hand, and then the famous female captain of the Skull Crushing Knights."
"Female captain?" Alka asked, her attention suddenly diverted.
Jason nodded, as if knowing that Alka didn’t know much about this, and said, “It is said that this knight group was self-built, mainly to fight pirates in various seas.
Most of the members on the ship were people who had been harmed by pirates, and they had a very good reputation in the large area in the northeast.
So when they also take such actions, the credibility of this news is very high.”
Hearing this, Alka nodded in understanding.
That's how it is.
After all, their popularity is very low. If you talk about what they have done, the most famous thing is probably the battle with the Pray for the Dead Pirates.
But the problem is that, from the outside world's objective perspective, that time, it was a battle between the pirate group and the church's ships.
Alka and the others did not play any significant role, especially during the final battle, no one dared to stand outside and watch.
Later, Alka and his friends formed their own treasure hunting team, but they didn't accomplish anything notable while they were out there.
At that time, they even used picked-up ships and did not have their own team emblem.
It was only a few months ago that they truly became a team and had a logo.
We have been preparing to leave this sea area over the past few months.
Besides, it is difficult for treasure hunting groups to become well-known because most of them are low-key and make their fortunes secretly.
After all, they are few in number and sometimes stay in one area for a long time.
Being too famous would just tell others that there is a treasure here, and create more enemies out of thin air.
I don’t know how these two well-known teams judged that the news they spread was highly credible.
But I don’t care about these things anymore, as long as it works, it’s good.
They have done what they can.
"Okay, forget about that. We have done our best. The storm will subside in two days. Are you ready, everyone?"
Hearing Alka's words, several people looked up at him and nodded seriously.
The final moment is approaching.
…
A golden spell ship arrived in this sea area, with green vine-like stripes on its hull.
The huge sails and the flag on top of the watchtower show which force the ship comes from.
This is a spell ship from the church.
As the ship slowly sailed into the sea.
It was as if it was giving everyone here a signal.
Voice of Dawn.
The clear sound of copper bells echoed throughout the ship.
A melodious singing voice began to ring along with the copper bell, and soon Julia's singing voice could be heard in the room.
As these sounds echoed each other, it seemed as if they were sending some signal.
Alka walked out of a room on the second floor of the stern deck, rubbed his eyes, and jumped down directly from it.
The water surface next to the ship began to ripple, and a huge figure rushed out of the water and landed directly on the deck, shaking off the water stains on his body.
It was Pororo.
Ever since he got his own room, he basically never takes the main road. He always takes the water route whether going in or out.
The others also came out from their rooms.
It was not until a window in the observation room at the top opened that Xia Daiti's voice was heard.
"Everyone, the church's ship has arrived, get ready."
After hearing this, everyone realized the seriousness of the matter. They straightened themselves up and began to check the ship.
After some actions and confirming that there were no problems, everyone gathered at the bow.
Not just them.
At this time, all the ships on the surrounding sea and gathered around the island were in action.
Alka also waved, patted the fence next to him, and said, "Voice of the Dawn, let's follow."
Following his voice, the sails automatically dropped and the entire ship began to move slowly, following the actions of the surrounding ships.
When they arrived in front of the two huge stone pillars, everyone kept a certain distance from each other and slowly stopped the boat.
At this time, all the personnel on the ship gathered on the deck, looking ahead.
Look between the two stone pillars.
The Rift Storm is slowing down.
The Church's ship came directly in front of them.
The arrival of the church ship indicates that today is the most important moment, today is when the door opens.
At this time, the church's spell ship did not spare its energy, and a huge sacred light began to radiate.
It was like a small sun gathering surging energy, and the magic power around it even faded to a certain extent.
The light is so strong, but it will not make anyone feel dazzling. Even if you open your eyes wide and stare at the light source, you will not feel discomfort or pain in your eyes.
This represents the mercy of Our Lady.
A huge amount of light gathered, and then a large amount of light gathered at the bow of the ship, allowing everyone to see the tail of the spell ship in the light.
The huge light finally condensed into a ball of light like a light bulb, and began to slowly float towards the crack storm between the two huge stone pillars.
Even though the rift storm has weakened significantly compared to the previous few days, it is still not something they can pass through.
As the ball of light slowly fell into the rift storm.
Like an explosion, an extremely obvious light wave came out from inside and swept around.
Even the clouds in the sky were blown away, the scorching sun shone down, and the blue sky was endless.
The whole sea area became clear.
The stone pillars also began to emit a strong light, and a faint film connected the two stone pillars.
The rift storm inside directly receded and disappeared, as if it had been split apart.
A wide sea road appeared between two huge rocks, and the ocean current outside was turbulent and rolling wildly.
It was a dark world.
It foreshadows how dangerous it is outside and how ferocious the huge waves are.
The outside world can be seen. Countless lightning bolts strike from the sky, forming a terrifying scene with the swirling waves.
And this is the world they are about to enter.
The world behind was so cruel that the visual effect made all the ships terrified.
"This opening will only last for one day. After one day, the storm will come again. Everyone, make your choice."
A heroic voice came from the church's ship.
At this moment, everyone present will face their first decision in heading to the Infinite Ocean.
Should we rush towards the turbulent sea, face the lightning and thunder in the sky, and break through the darkness there?
And then break through the storm there.
No ships were moving at this time.
The church's ship slowly sailed to the side and waited quietly.
They are about to record this important moment.
