holy flame

On Crowleyn Highway, unless the city has a special terrain, most of the city's central buildings are churches. The largest city square is usually in front of the church. This is not only a place for large-scale gatherings such as sacrifices, celebrations, and military parades, but also a place for executions. where.Moreover, most of the surrounding squares are high-end clubs and high-end stores, and most of the small businesses and hawkers are there again. Therefore, even on normal days, the square in front of the church is very lively.

However, Talan, a well-known trading city, was deserted out of everyone's expectations. Most of the merchants were closed, and the few who were still open for business were mostly selling necessities such as grain and salt, or selling seafood.But even in these shops, from the owner to the workers, they are all weak.

"I used to come to Taran when I was young, and it wasn't like this at that time." Frank frowned and said, the city rose by sea, and now it has become like this, obviously because of the influence of sea freight. Heavy blow.

"Let's go to the church and have a look, but I always forgot to ask, can everyone swim?" Samuel turned his head and said to everyone, this time it is very possible to go to sea, if there is a landlubber, it will be dangerous.

In the end, only Zooey raised his hand, and Samuel didn't even look at him, just waved his hand and said, "You don't count."

"Hey! What do you mean I don't count??"

"It means that you have to stay in the church obediently."

"You promised to take mine with you!"

"I promised to take you on the road, but I didn't promise to take you on an adventure together. Could it be that the little black house of the moon didn't lock you up enough?"

"Are you threatening me?"

"Do you know why the Kraken attacked human merchant ships?"

"I don't know, but what does this have to do with whether you take me away?"

"Alan, explain to him! You can't even explain this kind of thing well, can you?"

"I can do it, don't worry." Allen, who was trying to transform from Prince of Sunshine to a non-mainstream youth, snorted, jumped into the carriage, ignored Zoe's resistance, and entered the carriage by the neck.

There are only two differences between a sea monster and a mermaid. One is that the sea monster has a snake tail, and the other is that the sea monster has only women.In addition, they also have the same beautiful singing voice and charming appearance as the mermaid women - only limited to the upper body.Single-sex races cannot reproduce. This is one of the reasons why they arrest human males. Even if they have intercourse with angels or demons, the sirens will only give birth to little sirens. In this case, why don't you find those soft-legged shrimps? What about race?

Another reason is food. Siren's favorite food is not fish or shrimp, but brains, especially the brains of intelligent creatures.After they squeezed the last drop of "energy" from their prey, they directly smashed their full meal.

Because of this special recipe of sea monsters, the two camps of light and darkness in this world don't like them very much.On the bright side, with the evidence of the more snake tails, they were included in the orcs, saying that they were a lowly and dirty dark race.As evidenced by the fact that their appearance and habits are similar to those of the mermaids, the dark side said that they are the executioners of the light.So in fact, the Krakens are a group of good-looking but actually homeless robbers.

It seems that Allen's learning speed is advancing by leaps and bounds. When everyone got off the car and got off the horse at the door of the church, the livid-faced little angel seemed to have no urge to follow them.

"Apprentice Knight Samuel, welcome to Taran, thank you very much for helping us in this crisis. I am Ryan, the priest of Taran."

Ryan looked only 25-[-]. He was the youngest officiant that Samuel had seen, and he was also the least like one.Probably because Taran gets plenty of sunshine, so he has a wheat-colored skin and is only of medium height, but has a pair of long legs that make him look taller than he actually is, and he has strong muscles and a well-proportioned figure with brown eyes It is very bright, and the teeth are very white. When he smiles, he gives people a feeling of sunshine-even if Samuel has never seen Allen's original appearance, but his sun definitely does not have the image of Ryan.

For Samuel to stand with him, it has to make people feel a sense of professional dislocation.No matter how you look at it, it should be Ryan wearing armor as a knight charging, while Samuel is wearing a holy robe and casting spells behind...

However, everyone knew that they could not be fooled by Ryan's amiable appearance. After all, Tallarn, an independent city, was no less important than the capital of a medium-sized country.This is a fat vacancy, definitely much fatter than a national officiant in a place like Chris, but it is also a hot potato.

After all, the ruling order of this city is based on the checks and balances of the interests of several chambers of commerce, and the population is extremely mobile. Even if the Holy See personnel are backed by the Holy Spirit and control the spiritual beliefs of the entire mainland, they want to gain a foothold here. Definitely not an easy task.

But judging from what he saw and heard along the way, the Priest Ryan was obviously very popular.This is definitely not only because of his good looks, but more good-looking people are now chained to the foot of the bed by the nobles as toys.In the words of Samuel's previous life, every man is innocent and conceives a crime. In this chaotic world, an outstanding face is also the coveted "bi".

After greeting at the door for a while, the others were greeted by the young priests to pack their luggage, while Samuel, Frank and Julian followed Ryan directly into the clergy meeting room inside the church.

Closing the door of the meeting room, Ryan's sunny moment just now was replaced by sadness and depression: "I must say it again, thank you very much for helping Taran at this time."

"The reason why we stop sending a large number of tourists every year is that we can take the first action when the church people need it, but the upper echelon of the Holy See has no time to respond." Samuel nodded solemnly, "Actually, I was in two I have heard about the Kraken situation more than a month ago, but there was an accident on the way to Talen, and it took me a lot of time to solve the accident. During this period, is there no response from above? Moreover, the attack Are the passing ships just sea monsters?"

Ryan's smile became more bitter now: "I thought you were reinforcements sent from above, but you didn't come here by order."

"What do you mean?"

"The attacker wasn't a Kraken, but the ghost ship of the Tempest..."

The ghost ship is not as simple as a ship driven by the undead. The real ghost ships are all born in those famous fierce places on the sea. It is rumored that because the seabed is too dark, the souls of the dead crew members cannot see the way to heaven and hell. After years and years, even if he finally swims back to the surface of the sea, he has already lost his mind, and only remembers his hatred for the living and his obsession with sailing during his lifetime.So they drove the dilapidated ships supported by the power of the undead, summoned a fog all over the sky, attacked all ships they encountered, and sometimes even attacked port cities.

These ghost ships are even a headache for the necromancers and black knights of the undead camp, because this kind of "wild" unconscious undead is not under their control at all.The ghost ship of the Tempest is the most famous one, because the ghost captain of this ship is a rare captain who still has the memory and reason of human beings.Even Samuel, a knight on land, has heard of the name of the Tempest.

"Why not evacuate the people immediately?"

"I think so too, but those merchants are unwilling. In fact, they have been blocking the news of the attackers. Even they told me that these tragedies were caused by a group of sea monsters. The exact news is that I spent money to buy a Silver Star Chamber of Commerce." The shopkeeper inquired about it, and he only told me the news, but he would not testify for me. Therefore, without the slightest evidence, I can't issue a notice to the public at all, I can only secretly inform the upper echelon of the Holy See..."

Samuel raised his eyebrows. He heard that there is a kind of accident constitution in this world. He doubts that his current body has this kind of constitution. Otherwise, why would things happen everywhere?
