Chapter 397: Saint Prince
Alka looked at the priest who was coming towards him.
Just say, "I'm sorry, we don't know this person, we just came to this church specially."
"Don't know him?" The pastor looked at Alka and the others in confusion.
Then he was stunned for a while, as if he was recalling something, but Alka had already seen that he seemed to be using some kind of spell.
His eyes became lifeless, and one could feel the aura of the Virgin Mary becoming stronger in an instant. He must be using some kind of power from the Virgin Mary.
After a second or two, he recovered, smiled awkwardly, and said to Alka and the others, "Sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
"My friends, please go ahead. This place has been really uneasy lately. If possible, you should all leave this place as soon as possible.
How about staying in the church for a while? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen other believers in this place, let alone a saint.”
Obviously, the Church of Our Lady is a safe place, unless you are a pure cultist or a brainless idiot.
Otherwise, no one would dare to risk angering a real god and invade his church.
There is no such thing as a god who cannot appear in this world.
The pastor talked on and on, then slapped his head.
"Look at me, I'm really rude. My name is Ted, and I'm the pastor of the Church of Our Lady on Southern Cross Island." He turned to look at Alka and the others, and introduced himself with his arms crossed.
Alka nodded and made the same ceremonial gesture of the Mother Church: "I am the leader of the Compass Eye, my name is Alka. These are my companions."
Xia Dai and the others also crossed their arms: "Nice to meet you, my name is..."
After a brief self-introduction.
Alka and his companions sat down directly on the seats nearby.
The pastor, whose name was Ted, also sat in the seat directly across the aisle.
With his hands on his knees and his waist slightly bent, he looked at Alka and the others.
"From your looks, you should be very strong. Why did you come to such a remote place?"
The priest asked, looking at Alka and the others.
Although he could not see the specific strength of Alka and the others, he could sense the aura of the Virgin Mary and a certain temperament from them.
It can be roughly judged that their strength is definitely not weak.
The strong aura of the Virgin Mary on Alka and the same aura of the Virgin Mary on Xiadaiti behind him were much stronger than that of a priest like him.
But in the introduction, they do not call themselves members of the Church of Our Lady.
Then there is only one situation.
Believers who have received the grace of the Virgin Mary must be very powerful.
Alka blinked slightly at this.
Looking at the priest in front of him, he said, "We are here to wait for the saint prince you just mentioned who will arrive here soon."
Hearing this, the pastor frowned slightly.
His emotions were a mixture of vigilance and doubt, but then his vigilance dissipated, mainly because Alka and the others were believers of the Virgin Mary, which made him let down his guard.
He scratched his head in some embarrassment .
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
It seems that he is afraid of trouble and being involved in some troublesome things.
Alka smiled and waved his hand: "No, it's just some personal matters for us, it's not convenient to ask others for help."
The priest nodded, and he looked visibly relieved.
Although it is not known how long this pastor has been stationed here, it is definitely not short.
It’s better not to drag these innocent people into personal hatred.
At least that's what Alka thought.
Then they chatted casually, waiting for the arrival of the prince they had never met before.
"So you are actually from the Home Sea?" The pastor said in surprise after learning about Alka and the others' origins.
"Yes, it was probably a few years ago that we arrived around the Broken Sea. This time we came from the Twin Islands to settle some old stories."
Hearing Alka's words, the priest nodded. As long as he simply thought about the situation during this period, he could probably understand what these people were going to do.
Most likely it has something to do with this person named Creel.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Kriel?"
Alka nodded.
"Kriel is indeed an extremely ambitious person. About three years ago, after he came back from an outing, he began to use more stringent policies to restrict the missionary affairs of the Holy Mother Church.
They began to vigorously promote their previous ancient belief, the Mist Serpent.
It was from that time that some trainee priests and shepherds of the Church of Our Lady left one after another. The mission assigned to me by the bishop was not accomplished at all. ”
At this point, the pastor sighed.
He probably had guessed the goal of Alka and others.
"What kind of man do you think this is?" Alka asked, looking at him.
Hearing this, the priest wrinkled his nose in disgust: "An ambitious person, who is high and mighty and regards ordinary people as ants. He is a guy who will do anything to achieve his goals.
Although on the surface, it seems that this country has become better over the years.
But he always likes to sacrifice a few people to fulfill the rights of the majority, and these rights are closely related to his ambitions.
He doesn't care about the people of this country at all. He only cares about whether his goals and wildness can be achieved.
Anyone who stands in his way, no matter who they are, may be eliminated by him without hesitation.
But you have to admit that he does have some abilities and means.”
Almost the same evaluation as Balazs.
A capable guy who will do anything to achieve his goals.
It seems that although this pastor looks very young, he seems to be very familiar with the situation here.
From a bystander's perspective.
"So do you know this prince?"
The pastor nodded and said, "He can be considered as a playmate when we were little. At that time, he and I received instruction from the old pastor together.
I am about 10 years older than him.
But in the end he seemed to have higher talents, and after obtaining some consent, he left here and went to a larger church.
Later I heard that he became a saint and was a great guy.”
Alka looked at the pastor in front of him. Judging from his appearance, he was probably in his thirties.
This means that the prince is only in his twenties, a young man.
Maybe it's similar to them.
Suddenly, Xia Daiti next to him gently nudged Alka with his elbow.
Feeling the touch, Alka looked up at the closed door of the church.
Seeing Alka's gaze, Ted and Jason turned their heads to look.
The sound of footsteps could be heard, and from it one could tell there were not many people, only two.
The church door was opened.
A middle-aged man in light armor walked in. He looked a little serious and had a huge sword on his back.
There was a red cross star on the armor on his body, and it was obvious that he was a royal knight on the island.
However, next to him was a young man with wheat-colored hair.
There was a faint and gentle smile on his face, and he was also wearing armor, but the armor was embroidered with dense religious patterns.
The pattern represents a good harvest of wheat ears and has the symbol of the Church of Our Lady.
There is also a one-handed sword on his waist.
Apparently this was a knight from the church.
"Brother Ted, long time no see."
He walked straight over and gave Ted a big hug while he looked a little confused.
Ted broke free from his embrace and looked at him, then suddenly realized: "Your Highness Narks, welcome back."
Hearing this, the man named Narcos looked unhappy. He looked at the statue of the Virgin Mary inside the church and said, "Under the gaze of the Virgin Mary, there is no such thing as Your Highness . We are all faithful believers of the Virgin Mary."
Hearing this, Ted smiled helplessly.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries.
The prince looked at Alka and others beside him, and then set his sights on Alka.
He sensed the strong aura of the Virgin Mary in Alka, and for someone who was also a member of the Virgin Mary Church, the message was so obvious.
"Who is this?"
Ted quickly introduced them: "They are saints of the Blessed Virgin Mary, just like you. They are here to see you."
"Looking for me?" Narx looked at Alka.
Alka smiled and took a few steps forward, holding out his hand: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Alka."
"Hello, Narx."
The two men reached out and shook hands briefly, indicating that they were acquainted.
Ted stepped aside silently.
The knight who had been following Narx just stood behind him silently without saying a word.
"My friend, you are waiting for me here, is there something wrong?"
Alka smiled and said, "Just like you, why did you come all the way back to your hometown ?"
Narcos frowned when he heard what Alka said.
The middle-aged knight behind him was about to step forward. Alka had seen through his strength, a fifth-stage warrior.
The Narx he was guarding had only about 50 spirals, which was about the middle of the fourth stage.
Seeing his behavior, Xiadaiti and Jason behind Alka frowned.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.
Narx reached out to stop his knight: "Uncle Vesk, it's okay."
"You came here specially to wait for me, so you should know what happened in this country recently. My father died at the hands of his own brother, and my family was also killed.
And I need to find my uncle and ask him for an explanation.
Or rather, take revenge on him."
There was a flash of hatred in Narks' eyes, and he spoke without fear, not caring at all whether anyone around would spread the news.
He knew the saints of Our Lady and had a basic trust in them.
Likewise, any normal person can understand the purpose of his return. It would be strange if he didn't have such a purpose.
"And then? What happens after you kill your uncle?" Alka asked, looking at him.
Hearing this, Narcos frowned and stared at Alka: "What do you mean by that?"
He was even pessimistic about whether he could kill his uncle, but he couldn't just do nothing.
But the stranger in front of him asked him directly what happened after killing his uncle.
If the man in front of him didn't have a strong Virgin Mary aura and wasn't a believer of the Virgin Mary, he wouldn't even bother talking to him.
"No, I haven't thought about it. That's something that will happen after we achieve our goal."
"Then you can start thinking about it."
Alka said directly.
Hearing this, Narmins frowned and stared at Alka: "You are sent by the church to help me? No, it's impossible. I know the Holy Mother Church, they will not help me with this kind of thing.
They had no reason to help me.
Then why did you come here to see me?"
Hearing this, Alka smiled and sat next to him: "You see, although I am a saint, I am not a member of the Church of the Virgin Mary. I act according to my own free will, but I do not violate the teachings of the Virgin Mary.
And your uncle was able to kill so many of his loved ones so cruelly. How big was the hatred he had forged?"
At this point, Alka pointed to himself and Xiadaiti and others behind him: “And we happen to have some grudges with him, and we need to pay with his blood.
Our Lady's teachings do not teach us to complain with virtue, but to fight back. Of course, we must know when to stop and not hurt innocent people. "
The prince also sat nearby, with his knight still loyally standing behind him.
Narmins looked at Alka and the others: "So, you mean we form an alliance?"
"Yes, this is obvious, isn't it? Your presence just allows us to face fewer enemies, and also allows us to not worry about hurting innocent people."
After hearing this, Narmins was silent for a long time, thinking about something. He turned his head and looked at Alka.
"Although I really want to take revenge on my uncle, I want to know why you need me?
You must have been here for a long time, and you must have stayed in the church for quite some time. And you came here specially to wait for me, and you clearly understood my itinerary.
You seem to have a very elaborate plan, what role do you want me to play in it?"
Although the people in front of him are saints, if they are unreliable, Master Nar still trusts himself more.
Looking at the prince in front of him, Alka smiled and said, "Very perceptive, just as you said. We came here several months ago to seek revenge. That was shortly after your uncle killed your father and his men.
We were ready to do it, but we have a friend here who also needs revenge and doesn't want his hometown to be plunged into turmoil."
"Royal disputes, bloody revenge, etc., you know."
Hearing this, the prince probably understood what Alka and the others meant and said, "So, you want to nominate me to be the king of this country?"
"This is yours, isn't it?" Alka said, looking at him.
This is an absolutely sure-win deal, and Alka and others fully meet the prince's needs.
"I don't know if this is my luck or the grace of the Virgin Mary. But I have to say, thank you for your help."
As he said this, the prince stood up and held out his hand to Alka, who smiled and shook hands with him.
“In that case, you should rest here, and someone else will come to discuss with you.
We will communicate again when the time comes.”
Alka said with a smile, then said goodbye to Xia Daiti and the others and left the church.
Watching Alka and others disappear at the church gate.
The knight who had been standing behind the prince finally spoke.
"Your Highness, you shouldn't be so trusting of others, especially when it comes to something so important. They are strangers."
Hearing this, the prince smiled and said, "No, Uncle Wimink. He is not a stranger, he is a saint of the Virgin Mary."
"Just because of this?"
"Of course, that's why."
“…your will.”
For someone like him who was only loyal, he really couldn't understand the strange trust between believers.
This was especially true of the Blessed Virgin, even as he followed her from Narmins to the larger church.
Ted just stood back and listened to the conversation between the two.
I always feel inexplicably involved.
well.
For the Virgin Mary!
…
"Someone is following us. Do we want to get rid of him?" Xia Daiti said casually as he walked beside Alka.
"Forget it, let them follow. So as not to alert the enemy."
As Alka spoke, they began to wander around the city. It must be said that it was not easy to buy some practical items here, but there were many luxury goods.
After purchasing some things of interest, he left the royal city and headed towards the port city.
About halfway through, the followers behind them started to move away.
When the starry sky opens at night.
Alka and the others finally returned to the Voice of Dawn.
"You're back on time." Porro just jumped out of the sea onto the deck, looked at Alka and the others who were on the boat together and said with a smile.
At this time, the air on the deck was filled with an enticing aroma that whetted one's appetite.
Jason chuckled twice. "It's better to do it early than not. It smells so good. I seem to smell the scent of honey pork steak."
Chatting and laughing, several people came into the restaurant.
However, Juanlu was the only one at the table.
Looking at Alka and others coming in, he shrugged helplessly.
"What about the others?"
"Where else could it be? Of course I'm doing research. I'm going crazy." Juanlu said helplessly.
Hearing this, Alka just smiled.
This situation will continue for some time.
"It's okay, I'll send it to him later."
"Send it over?" Xia Daiti turned his head and glanced at him: "I think you want to join them too."
Alka smiled awkwardly and ate his meal in silence.
After dinner.
Alka entered the space inside the treasure.
Landed directly in the research temple.
Just then I saw Simon walking out from the mezzanine of the laboratory.
He looked at Alka and his eyes lit up and he walked over directly.
"The thing you asked me to make for you has been made, but you still need to verify it yourself."
As he said this, he took Alka into Laboratory No. 1.
This is a construction mechanical laboratory, which is full of various machines used for building and some raw materials.
It's called a laboratory, but it's more like a forging room.
One of them was covered with various sundries, and on the tool table there was a tumbler that seemed to have just been made.
Alka narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the tumbler, which had a blue border on it.
"Is this it?"
Simon nodded: "That's it. Take it and study it for a while, then I'll tell you about its abilities."
“No hurry.” Alka took out the packed lunch box and handed it to him: “You take it first, and take the rest out to Julia and the others.
I'll study it for a while. Don't worry, I also participated in the design. It's okay."
Simon thought about it, nodded, and walked out with the lunch box.
After a while he came back, leaving only his own portion in his hand, and started eating silently beside.
While Alka was studying the tumbler in his hand, he had a brief conversation with Simon who was eating next to him.
The tumbler in his hand is Alka's secret weapon to deal with Kriel.
A tool specifically used to prevent this enemy from escaping or teleporting.
They used the Vastwa people's space technology, but the two of them used it in reverse. This technology was used to strengthen the stability of the space.
This would limit Kriel's treasure that allowed him to teleport over extremely long distances.
Simon named it [Spatial Anchor].
As for the appearance of the tumbler, it is just his bad taste.
