Chapter 83: Ship of Shadows
In the night.
The Sea Fist sails on the ocean.
There is a small island not far away.
Taking advantage of the night, the Sea Fist slowly sailed into the port on the island.
The islanders who were on guard at the harbor became alert upon seeing the ship, and then they calmed down when they saw which ship it was in the moonlight.
This island was the one where Alka had come to perform the touching ceremony.
A farewell ceremony was being held on board the ship at this time.
"Bobby I can only drop you off here. We'll visit you later."
Bobby smiled and nodded.
Then he looked at the rest of the people and hugged them one by one.
"Then I'll go first. May the Virgin Mary bless you!"
Then Bobby and his two apprentices stepped off the ship.
The ship, which was already sparsely populated, immediately seemed even more deserted and empty after the three people left.
Everyone watched Bobby leave, and the boat slowly left the berth and sailed away from the island.
"Okay, it's late now, clean up your mind and take a rest. Parting is always normal in life."
Andre looked at the young people and said with a smile.
As the ship sailed into the darkness, the sea in the distance suddenly boiled like boiling water.
The blue line bird stood next to Andre's ear.
"Stop the boat!"
Following Andre's order, the ship slowly slowed down and stopped.
The shadow ship that had been seen before appeared again in the darkness.
Andre took out the pocket he had used to quickly carry treasure.
Then he turned around and looked at everyone: "Does anyone want to save money?"
Hearing this, Alka was unable to understand for a moment.
But everyone present, except Alka and Xiadaiti, took out a large portion of the gold coins they had obtained before, put them into the gold coin bag and handed them to Andre.
This time, the Shadow Ship did not stay in the distance, but slowly came over and docked next to the Sea Fist.
Seeing this scene, Andre couldn't help but slap his forehead helplessly.
“Hahaha, Andre, aren’t you guys doing something big next door these days?”
An unusually tall, dark-haired man wearing light chain mail approached.
Without saying anything, he hugged Andre tightly.
"Uncle William."
"Ah, it's Xia Daiti. You're getting more beautiful."
"Uncle, thank you for the compliment."
After a brief greeting, the burly man named William looked at the magic pocket in Andre's hand and the several bags of gold coins in front of him.
"It looks like you have made a great harvest."
Hearing this, Andrew waved his hand helplessly .
"You must have something to ask me when I came to my boat. Stop wasting time and tell me now. "
Hearing this, William's face was not embarrassed, but he said seriously: "We found the clue of the Holy Virgin Mary's holy vessel."
Hearing this, Andre also became serious.
William took out a thick file wrapped in parchment and stuffed it into Andre's arms.
Then he took the bag that Andre had borrowed from him before, as well as the bags of gold coins at his feet.
"Okay, give me back my pocket. I'll keep your gold coins for you."
"Goodbye!"
Said the burly man named William, returning to his shadow ship without hesitation.
Even though the ship was docked next to the Sea Fist, it seemed to be in the shadows and could not be seen clearly.
As the shadow ship disappeared, Andre returned to his captain's cabin alone.
Only then did Alka look at Xiadaiti next to him.
Facing Alka's puzzled look, Xiadaiti just smiled and began to explain.
"It is not a wise decision to put so much money on the ship, so I asked him to help store it in the cathedral. It is absolutely safe there."
"Don't be afraid that they will be greedy. They are the shadow walkers, the sharp sword in the hands of the Virgin."
Hearing this, Alka couldn't help but think of the previous loss.
Dozens of golden sails must be kept in a safe place. It would be unsafe if they were left on the ship.
But Alka didn't care, after all, he put the gold coins into his pocket ring.
Even if there are hundreds of golden sails, they are quite heavy, but they will only occupy a very small area.
It will not affect the use of Alka at all.
"Why don't you save it?"
"Didn't I tell you last time that I also want to buy a pocket ring? These are the funds I need."
Alka then remembered and nodded.
"The situation just now was... a mission?"
Xia Daiti nodded: "Yes, this situation occurs because we have a mission. After all, we are members of the church."
"I have never done this mission before. Will it be difficult?" Jason next to him couldn't help but ask.
After all, he had only joined the treasure hunting team for two years, and had been a trainee crew member for the first two years.
Unexpectedly, Xia Daiti also shook his head: "In fact, I have only joined the treasure hunting team for less than three years, just half a year earlier than Jason. Before that, I had been training in the cathedral."
"So you became a Toucher first, and then joined the treasure hunting group?"
Alka asked
Xia Daiti nodded.
At this time, Vanessa, who heard their conversation, came over, looked at the young people and said, "Do you want me to tell you?"
Hearing this, Xia Daiti walked up with a smile and put his arm around Vanessa's arm.
He got close to her and asked intimately, "Sister Vanessa, please tell us quickly."
Vanessa smiled and said, "The church rarely gives us tasks in person. We always report some information or something that is wrong when we find it."
That is to say, although we are members of the church, we are ultimately relatively free.
Alka couldn't help but think.
"Although it's rare, it's not absent. There was one incident about four years ago."
"It took us a whole year, and one of our regular members was seriously injured and had to withdraw from the treasure hunt."
Hearing this, Alka and the others couldn't help but become serious.
In other words, the church either does not issue any missions, or the missions issued are not easy to complete and involve considerable danger.
"So, you have to be prepared, especially you two." Vanessa said seriously, and glanced at Alka and Jason.
After all, they have only been touchers for a very short time.
Whether it's the training of magic circuits or the proficiency of spells, he is one level behind others.
The two of them nodded seriously.
After chatting for a while, everyone returned to their cabins.
Alka also lies on the bed.
He closed his eyes, controlled the magic circuits in his body, and began to meditate.
