Secret: The years I served as a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 169 Come and listen, Bernadette.

410
The barrier of the Church of Storms only blocked a portion of the seawater. The tens of meters high waves crashed into the city, crushing all the buildings directly below and turning an area near Bayam Port into a lake.

The embassy area and foreign residential area in the north lit up extraordinary ability barriers, military personnel armed with guns maintained order, and people were evacuating into the barriers in an orderly manner.

The "faceless doll" sat on top of the lighthouse, its legs dangling in the air.

It enjoyed the scene of the crowd below moving like ants and let out a giggle.

The first wave hit the east side of Bayam’s port, which was far away from where Klein and the others were. However, those who witnessed the water curtain hitting the ground did not expect any luck.

This distance seems very long, but in fact the sea water only needs to rush over once more to sweep them all away!
The military airship began to descend and lowered the rope ladder. Ellan glanced at the airship, then at German and Danitz, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Klein understood his dilemma. He himself did not need an airship to move. On the contrary, an airship would affect his ability to summon a messenger to teleport into the spirit world. So he said calmly:

"I have a means of escape."

"You have intelligence with you. If the intelligence is timely, there might be a chance to stop this."

Ellan's expression became serious, and he said seriously:

"You are a fine gentleman."

Then, without saying anything more, he quickly followed the other military members and climbed onto the airship along the rope ladder.

Suddenly, a thick bolt of lightning flashed and struck the airship with its fangs and claws.

Klein frowned as he saw the airship come to a complete stop. He heard the teeth-grinding sound of the steam boiler, and everyone on the airship entered a brief state of stiffness as if struck by lightning. Ellan, who was still hanging on the rope ladder, did not escape either. He did not loosen his hands, but his hair exploded like a sea urchin, knocking his hat off.

However, the specially treated airship did not stall or explode. After a few seconds of tilting and losing control, the airship was lifted up by the wind and returned to its original height very quickly.

How come "Sea God" suddenly seems to become smarter... Ellan muttered to himself.

There were still thunder and lightning in the clouds, but a rain cloud flew over and covered their heads, blocking the thunder and lightning.

The airship pulled up the guardrail, slowly took off, and flew smoothly towards the location of the Storm Church.

I hope this information can be delivered to the "Sea King" before Bayam drowns... Klein watched Ellan leave, and there was no other expression on his face. He turned around and looked Danitz in the eye.

Danitz looked at the flying airship going away and said in a voice as if a duck had pinched his throat: "He's gone?"

What else? Klein sarcastically said, "You want to follow me and turn into gold pounds?"

“I thought he would at least give us a ride…” Danitz’s expression was indescribably ugly. He already regretted not stuffing the suicide note into the bottle before leaving. But the mysterious and powerful organization behind Gehrman Sparrow and the terrifying alien messenger gave him the last bit of hope for life. He looked at the cold adventurer as if he was looking for his last straw and asked nervously:
"What should we do now?"

Germann looked around. While they were talking, people had already left their homes and rushed to the high mountains in the distance with supplies and important items.

I don’t know when the rain stopped, but the tide was getting closer and closer, as if it was surrounding my ears.

Finally, Hermann said coldly: "Go to the high ground first."

Klein took out Azik's copper whistle and blew it hard, and the demigod with a snake tail appeared again.

As soon as the demigod appeared, he immediately turned his head to look in the direction where the waves had rushed in, then turned his head and asked silently:
Do you plan to leave now?
Klein dodged a man who ran past him and led the lost child back to his parents. He shook his head firmly.

"I may not be able to wait for Mr. Azik's reply."

"So, please come and pass on the message. If Mr. Azik gives a reply, please tell me immediately."

The demigod showed no emotion, he nodded, and disappeared in flames just like before.

Danitz was carefully observing the spirit when he suddenly saw Germann's sharp eyes sweeping over him. He was startled and quickly followed Germann's footsteps and ran towards the higher ground with the crowd.

That spirit has a human body, a snake tail, and feathers...

The characteristics of his wings always seem to have been seen in textbooks!
Yes, the captain seemed to have said that when the "corpse collectors" controlled by the Spiritual Cult lose control of the Beyonder, they will grow snake tails and feathers...

The gold jewelry on this spirit is also very much in the style of the Balam Empire...

Could it be that the power behind Gehrman Sparrow is the Spiritual Cult? !

The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. Danitz was a little lost in thought. Although learning was painful, the feeling of applying what he learned was very good. The ground began to shake slightly again, and the waves hit the land again. Adventurers and pirates mixed in with the panicked crowd. The footsteps and crying were drowned out by the sound of the tide.

In Bayam City, sporadic gunfire and explosions could be heard from time to time.

……

In a hotel, Alger stood at the window, staring at the gloomy sky outside.

As a sailor, he could feel the trembling momentum of the ocean and rain, and he did not have to worry about tsunamis. Even if Bayam sank, sailors could still reach nearby land by breathing underwater and getting close to marine life.

Not long after the last Tarot meeting, I got the vampire anesthetic gas and prepared to go out to sea to collect materials. As a result, almost a week has passed and I am still stranded in Bayam... He twitched his mouth and shook his head.

First there was the "world" hunting of "Iron" Maiviti, which made him a lot of money, and then he had to wait for the bounty, and when the bounty was in hand, he encountered the collapse of the sea serpent Kalvetuwa, and was asked to find adventurers and archaeologists such as Laeticia.

I heard that Laticia and the others were found during the investigation this morning. The Mandated Punisher and the military seem to have a very important clue. Many people went to Simim Island... Oh, this kind of thing will never happen to me... Alger retracted his gaze, pulled up his short robe that was less than his knees, and whispered to himself:
"Let's finish it as soon as possible."

Once Kalvetuwa was completely dead and the tsunami was no longer lurking, he could leave the port, leave Bayam, the City of Generosity, and work hard to advance to Sequence 6, Wind-loving One.

After two waves hit, most of the people in this area had already fled. Only in the face of such a disaster, the Loen people, Feysac people, Intis people and the natives were similar. They mixed together and it was difficult to tell them apart when they gathered to escape.

As Alger was thinking, his heart moved and he turned to look out the window.

He saw a wooden figure goose-stepping down the deserted street, like a toy being manipulated by a child's hands.

This horrifying and funny scene immediately made him look away. Alger instantly realized that this was a sealed object with a certain degree of activity moving freely outside! Could it be that because the "Sea King" was busy fighting Kalvetuwa, something went wrong in the underground seal room of the Storm Church? No, I have been in the church for so long and have never seen such a sealed object... Of course, it could also be a secret that I can't access...

After sitting in meditation for a long time, he carefully looked outside again and found that the wooden man had disappeared.

It has nothing to do with me... It doesn't have much merit, but it is somewhat dangerous... It won't belong to me even if I catch it... I don't need to report it... Alger pretended not to see it.

He didn't know that just above his head, the little wooden man was standing on the window frame, bending over and looking down.

It just happened to be able to capture Alger's every move.

'The lighthouse was washed away...'

'Change place!'

'Discovered...'

'Don't be too conspicuous...'

A smile appeared on the flat face of the little wooden man, and then the facial features began to bulge.

Its body swelled, its skin twisted into clothes, and a few seconds later, an "Alger" appeared on the balcony awning.

Although it has turned into a human, its weight seems to have not changed and it can still stand on the glass.

The "faceless puppet" first twisted its facial features to imitate Alger's thoughtful expression, and then imitated Alger's look of confusion after seeing it. Then it stood up happily and continued to march forward from the roof.

411
Gold and blue, huge fireballs exploded near the two ships. The former was a cannonball containing purifying power fired by the "Mysterious Queen's" ship, and the latter was a spiritual cannonball specially made by the "Death Announcement" and the demon sailors.

Bernadette chose the right time to attack when the first wave hit Bayam. If the ship wasn’t responsible for the defense, there would have been several holes in the ship.

"bang bang bang"

All of the more than 40 gun muzzles on one side of the "Death Announcement" were opened, and the shells were automatically aimed and fired after being loaded.

The biggest advantage of the "Mysterious Queen" is Bernadette, the Sequence 3 Saint herself. She also brought an entire ship. Although it is not the flagship "Dawn", with the blessing of the Secret Peeping Man's magic, it also demonstrated defensive capabilities far exceeding those of ordinary seals.

There were slight losses of sailors before the battle, but this would not affect the overall strength.

Agaritu had the advantage of geography and equipment, and the many long-range and psychic attack methods of the "Devil" were still slightly insufficient against Bernadette, who was one level higher than them. However, when necessary, they could use the "Whisperer" ability of the "Death Announcer" to break through Bernadette's defense. Their flagship's attack power was also greater than the opponent's, with more power and longer range, so while they were intercepting Bernadette's artillery fire, they still had time to launch a fierce offensive.

The seeds of fear that had previously remained in the hearts of Bernadette's sailors have been cleared, and now the sailors under the command of the "Mysterious Queen" have understood their mission - to defend until the battle between "Sea King" and Kalvetuwa is over. One side attacks and the other side defends, and the stalemate ends like this, this is what Bernadette wants.

Because in close combat, the subordinates of the mysterious queen have no advantage against the demons.

"Death call."

Agaritu asked with great interest: "If you try your best, is it possible... to take down Bernadette in one fell swoop?"

"I am willing to try." The flagship came with his own thoughts, "Your Majesty."

The muzzle of the crossbow hidden in the hull slowly opened and aimed at the ship in the distance.

Bernadette suddenly became alert. She saw a thick and long crossbow arrow with a bloody glow cutting through the sky, with a steel rope dragging at the tail. It rushed in front of her in an instant like a huge nail.

"The mystery reappears," she said, "'Spear and Shield Attacking Each Other'!"

The crossbow arrow and the ship itself were strengthened at the same time, one became extremely sharp and the other became indestructible, but when they collided, it ended in a draw and nothing happened.

"Contradiction?" Agaritu said in amazement. "This makes me want a Mystery Peeper Extraordinary Item."

At the same time, he also thought of a way to deal with Bernadette.

He returned to the cabin, and when he came back, he had a copy of "Roselle's Diary" that he had bound himself.

The "Death Announcement" retracted the crossbow and fired other large and small shells, but most of them were still blown into fireworks under Bernadette's mystical defense, and many were intercepted, leaving at most a string of faint blue flames on the enemy ship.

Agaritu looked across. Bernadette's "secret peepers" and scholars from other paths were working in an orderly manner. Several people who were suspected to be from the "reader" path were constantly simulating the power of the "sun" path, purifying the ship that was slowly infiltrated by the devil's breath, and dispelling the fear in the hearts of the crew. The flag of the "mysterious queen" was flying high on the sails, and the magic shells and capstans were operating on their own. They were not afraid of the "death notice", and everything was mobilized in an orderly manner.

Looking at their own side, the sailors who were unable to board the ship tried to kill each other with foul language.

However, the opponent consciously kept a distance from him, and was now far beyond the attack range of the "Apostle of Desire", not to mention that there were crew members on the opposite side simulating the ability of the "audience" to release comfort.

"Alas." The Undead King sighed, "I have to find some other ways to seal the artifacts."

The sea was becoming increasingly turbulent. In the distance, Bayam was already experiencing lightning and thunder, and the tide was rising continuously.

The marine life became more and more ferocious, and he vaguely saw a shark swimming into the city with the sea water.

Agaritu stood up, walked to the third deck against the strong wind, and picked up the "Roselle Diary".

It seemed as if there was no wind blowing through his hands. Although his coat was rustling, the diary with dozens of sheets of paper hastily bound together did not show any signs of being blown by the wind.

Bernadette saw this scene, and she subconsciously thought that the "Undead King" was going to use the ability of "Recorder" and was about to respond. But then, the other party's voice appeared in her ears.

"On April 1, my daughter is so smart that she can speak before she is even one year old. Although she has only learned a few words for now, I believe that her progress will not be slow in the future."

"She inherited this from me."

This is... Bernadette was stunned.

Since both sentences ended with exclamation marks, Agaritu felt that the tone was not right, so he cleared his throat and read: "She inherited this from me!"

The emotion that had just risen in Bernadette's heart was suddenly suppressed, and she even got goose bumps.

The other crew members on both sides didn't know what the enemy/captain was suddenly talking about, but judging from Bernadette's expression, it should be something that only they could understand.

"Captain." Bernadette's second mate approached her. "Do you need to attack? The demon may be using obscene language."

“…No.” Bernadette hesitated a little, “Wait a moment, go and add the spirituality of the Singer’s Path to the crossbow.”

She wanted to listen further to verify her guess.

Agaritu flipped through the collection he had bound and read again in the voice of the narrator:
"On October 2, they decided to get me engaged to Matilda from the Abel family without consulting me in advance! Oh my God, I haven't even met her yet! No, I want to refuse. Even if I have to run away from home, even if I have to be self-reliant from now on and suffer all kinds of oppression, I will resist this arranged marriage."

It really is... It really is Russell's notes... No, these records are so casual, it really is a diary! If there are records before the engagement with my mother, maybe I can find the reason why my father is crazy and whereabouts from them...

Bernadette's heart was pounding, and she wanted to ask the other party about the method of deciphering Roselwen immediately.

boom!
The sailors of the "Mysterious Queen" did not wait for the captain's order, and the crossbow arrows emitting a bright and warm light like sunlight remained in the launching slot, but the "Death Announcement" accurately discovered the source of the crisis and fired several cannon shots quickly and accurately.

Boom boom boom——

Even though the helmsman of the "Mysterious Queen" manually turned the ship at the critical moment and avoided the attack of the "Death Announcement" on the ammunition depot, the bow was hit and exploded continuously. It was like a napalm bomb was detonated, and the entire bow and the helmsman were instantly shrouded in dark blue flames. The air waves spread outward violently, not only pushing the bow back several meters, but also pushing more than a dozen sailors nearby away, and rolling on the deck continuously.

The helmsman who was facing the flames at close range still kept his body relatively intact, but his charred body, which kept crackling like firewood, actually got on the ground on three limbs, propped up his contaminated body, and crawled towards the other sailors with his face facing the sky and flames.

Although he was quickly dealt with, the twisted and horrifying image remained in the sailors' minds.

"!"

My own vigilance has been lowered! The shock almost made Bernadette herself lose her balance. She came to her senses and immediately shouted:
"Release the crossbow!"

The "Death Announcement" fired continuously, but the shells all disintegrated in the air and could not be successfully intercepted.

Then four or five two-meter-long crossbow arrows with morning light flew over, and one of them pierced the first mate's belly. The grooves and protrusions on the tail of the crossbow arrow scraped off a large piece of flesh and his internal organs, and he was nailed to the side of the ship with his intestines.

Another crossbow arrow smashed the heads of two sailors along the way, plowed through the deck, and finally fell into the water with one.

The first mate was still alive, the tail of the crossbow still trembling "buzzing", the morning light constantly purifying his flesh and blood, no one dared to approach. Agaritu looked down, and then the two headless corpses on the ground were contaminated by him, melting and twisting into black flesh tentacles, dragging the first mate off the crossbow (and causing secondary damage). The black flesh and blood merged into the hull to fill the previous crack, and several decks of the "Death Announcement" stood up by themselves, separating the first mate to one side, like a coffin.

"Praise, praise you..." Before he could finish his words, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

The two crossbow arrows caused limited damage to the "Death Announcer", and Bernadette prepared to move back to some distance.

The sound of turning pages was like the sound of a book. Agaritu's whisper followed again like a ghost:
"October 5th. Miss Matilda is so beautiful."

"October 6th. Her personality and temperament are exactly what I like. I am beginning to look forward to our marriage."

Father, mother... Is this the eve of their wedding? He actually spoke in such a playful and frivolous tone... If she wasn't on the battlefield, any loss of concentration on her part could lead to the death of her subordinates. Bernadette would have wanted to sit down and listen to all these words greedily.

But the next moment, her eyebrows frowned.

"November 3, Matilda is three months pregnant. I now think those maids from the countryside are pretty. No, I can't lower my class and style. It just so happens that Countess Fulesby invited me to a private party."

The Undead King considered his tone and said, "Hehe."

It was a little difficult to imitate Roselle's tone, and Bernadette once again got goosebumps from the disgust, but she also noticed a very important timing point.

November 3rd was the third month of her mother's pregnancy? That meant she was still six or seven months away from giving birth... Bernadette was stunned, her eyes slightly widened - her birthday was May 19th!
That, that is to say, when her mother was pregnant with her, her father... There was no other way. This was the social atmosphere of Intis two hundred years ago. It was open to the point of abnormality. Everyone was proud of having mistresses and lovers. It was not difficult to understand... But Bernadette couldn't convince herself. She felt a little dizzy, but soon she noticed that she was not dizzy, but her ship was attacked again!

"Were those readers killed in the explosion?" Agaritu asked the "Death Report".

"It doesn't matter if not all of them died. All right, charge forward."

After saying that, he glanced at Bernadette and shook his head.

"It's hopeless. It's not anger."

The "Death Announcement" at full power broke through the wind and waves and rushed forward. The ship of the "Mysterious Queen" finally entered the attack range of the "Apostle of Desire". The serial killers were ready to go. Gilchies showed a bloodthirsty smile on his face. He put his hand on the hilt of the knife and bent slightly, waiting for the moment when the two ships touched to jump over and kill!
He could already hear the frantic heartbeats of his prey. The delicious despair was hidden in their bodies; he could taste it by simply cutting them open!

Two pirate ships confronting each other, flags fluttering in the wind, heavy rain and huge waves as the background, ferocious pirates, artillery fire exploding in the air, and magical light in the sky, all of which are frozen into an oil painting that is difficult to depict with a brush.

boom!
The two ships collided heavily, and the ramming horn of the Death Announcer broke through the Secret Peeper's magic barrier!
boom! boom!
The moment the fierce and brutal hand-to-hand combat began, the two captains simultaneously raised their heads and looked towards Bayam.

A huge silver thunder tree fell from the clouds, and an unprecedented thunderstorm suddenly illuminated the entire sky!
