Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

On the vast sea, three ordinary passenger ships are marching in line, one in front and two behind. Around these three passenger ships, there is a well-arranged escort formation, consisting of six large and four small ships with bright The composition of church warships with sun flags.

The two large warships lined up at the front of the fleet keeping a distance are nearly 100 meters long, and are covered with thick iron armor from front to back. There is a row of smaller secondary guns, and three thick and long chimneys spewing black smoke into the sky.

The bow of the ship is decorated with a figure of an angel holding a sword. Under the figure, there is an exaggerated ram angle. There are not only signal flags hanging on the ship, but also pages full of scriptures. There are also dense scriptures printed on it, and countless sailors in uniform uniforms travel on the deck.

'Hmm...the sacramental knights who escort pilgrims, the sea escort force they assigned to us...what exactly is it like? It's a bit nerve-wracking to figure it out... .If you ask too much detail, you may be suspected...'

Looking at the circle of warships around her ship, Vanya thought in her heart with some distress, and then she decided to report what she saw to Dorothy first.

......

Conquer the Sea, Shining White Pearl.

Under the gray sky, the huge cruise ship was sailing westward. Under the command of Costa, it was heading towards the west side of Bailei Island. More than 700 passengers on the ship unknowingly passed on Continue to play, and move towards a destination that does not belong to them at all.

In the cockpit, two sailors were sitting on their seats, chatting in every possible way, about whether it is better to drink human blood directly or boil it, which is more delicious. After setting the voyage, fix it After the helm, they generally choose to pass the time in various ways.

While they were chatting with each other, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and the two sailors immediately became vigilant and looked out the door, and then saw the big Bins who walked in with a serious face, he was the officer of the two.

Seeing Chief Mate Binns, the two sailors immediately stood up to greet them, nodded after seeing each other, and then asked questions.

"There is no problem with the current course..."

"No problem, according to Mr. Costa's instructions, the current course is all the way to the west, and the target is Bailei Island!"

The sailor answered the chief officer's words seriously, the first officer did not speak after listening to the sailor's words, but walked slowly to the bridge, looked around there, and fixed his eyes on the compass next to the rudder.

After carefully confirming the direction of the compass, the chief mate frowned slightly, then turned around and shouted loudly at the two seamen.

"Is this heading west? Come and take a good look at the compass yourself! See where the needle on it is pointing? Are you talking about where you are going now?!"

With an angry expression, the first officer yelled at the two seamen. The two seamen were slightly taken aback when they heard it, and then hurriedly ran to look at the fixed compass next to the rudder. After confirming the pointer on it, they confirmed it again. Now the course of the ship, and then confirm that the current ship is indeed not heading west, but heading southwest. If you go on like this, you will not reach Bailei Island!

"Uh... Ah, sorry Mr. Binns! We were careless, we'll fix it now!"

"Hurry up! Hurry up before Mr. Costa comes to check. If you delay the time to go to Bailei Island because of this deviation, you will feel better!"

Seeing that the ship was heading in the wrong direction, the two sailors immediately hurriedly corrected the course, and at a place that they didn't even need to see, under the compass, inside the console, there was a flying insect Climb below the compass, and an invisible current flows on it.

On the other side, Dorothy was sitting in her own cabin, drinking coffee while listening to the sounds in the cockpit. After taking a sip of coffee, she looked out the window at the cloudy weather.

"Heh... two sloppy guys. In this weather where the sun and stars are not visible, the only navigation is the compass. If you don't follow it strictly to determine the course, you will not be able to reach your destination."

While Dorothy was muttering, she raised her little hand and looked at the slightly jumping electric arc between her fingertips.

Although she can't electrocute two chalks in one go, she can still finely control the magnetic field of a ship.

Chapter 390 Encounter

Conquer the Sea, Shining White Pearl.

On the dark night sea, the Shining White Pearl with shining lights sailed on the pitch-black sea, sailing towards the sea level where the end could not be seen.

Tonight is already the fourth night of sailing on the sea since the Shining White Pearl left port. According to the original voyage, the ship will arrive at Ivig's destination in a short time. Most of the passengers on board will Shi was also looking forward to the arrival of that time, but they didn't know that the cruise ship at this time was still very far away from the destination.

In the sky, thick clouds covered the moon and the starry sky at the same time. In this darkness, the cruise ship followed the guidance of the compass towards the established goal designated by the captain, who was a senior member of the Sea Abyss Sect.

On this ship, from the captain down, at least one-third of the seafarers are members of the cult Abyssalism. Their original purpose was to send more than 2000 passengers on this ship to the sea monster Sea Mohays. Sacrifice, but because of the thief K, now I have to turn to Bailei Island, the stronghold of Haiyuan Sect in the nearby waters. According to the voyage, the Shining White Pearl will arrive at Bailei Island in the afternoon of tomorrow.

In order to prevent the thief K who was still on board from making any more troubles, the captain Costa ordered his followers to conduct strict patrols on the entire ship during the voyage.

On the cruise ship in the middle of the night, in the lower cabin far away from the passenger area, the first mate Binns was leading a subordinate to patrol the empty corridor. At this time, he had just finished inspecting the boiler room When he came back, after shaking the soot off his shoes, he was heading to the next inspection site.

Compared with other places on the ship, this lower corridor near the boiler room is very messy, there are some sundries everywhere on both sides of the corridor, and the floor is also very dirty. With a serious look, as a water magician Binns was walking in this corridor. As he walked, he carefully checked the situation in the corridor in front of him. His eyes scanned every dark corner where people could hide, as if worried that a certain thief was hiding there.

After walking in the corridor for a while, two sailors in uniform suddenly turned out from the corner of the corridor in front of Binns, and they walked towards him. Binns recognized them, and they were not ordinary sailors, but disguised as sailors The believer, the other party seemed to be surprised after seeing Binns, and then greeted him respectfully at the same time.

"Mr. Binns..."

"Jed... Hama... what are you doing here? Didn't I arrange for you to patrol the No. [-] storage compartment?" Seeing the two people in front of him, Binns frowned slightly in confusion opened his mouth, while the other party replied as he walked in.

"Ah...that's Mr. Binns, we found something suspicious on No. [-], so I want to tell you to go over there to see if you want to tell Mr. Costa."

The two sailors walked towards Binns while talking, and Binns couldn't help asking again after listening.

"Suspicious things? Please clarify what it is."

"What exactly is it...Mr. Binns, to be honest, we can't explain it to you verbally. You'd better come with us to have a look."

While talking, the two sailors continued to walk towards Binns, and the pace of their feet was slightly accelerated. Seeing this move, Binns was slightly startled, and then immediately spoke in a warning tone.

"Stop, you two! Just stop if you want to say something..."

Before Binns finished speaking, the two sailors walking in front immediately accelerated their pace. Their expressions were concentrated, and they rushed towards Binns at a sprint speed. Seeing this scene, Binns must also feel Seeing that something was wrong, he immediately raised his hand and aimed at the two people in front of him, ready to launch his ability to attack.

And at this moment, behind Binns, on the edge of the corridor he had just walked through, the door of a small locker was suddenly opened, and two bullies whose size far surpassed the volume of the locker rushed out from inside. After rushing out of the locker, the two big men surprised Binns and his subordinates from behind. While Binns was concentrating on his eyes, they were restrained by hands from behind, and their mouths were covered. .

"What...how could there be someone behind! I checked clearly when I came here!" Bins, who was restrained from the rear, thought in amazement in his heart that he had checked when he came here before so he could hide people He didn't find any problems anywhere, and he didn't know how the two people behind him suddenly appeared.

'I've been restrained...but...it's too early to control me with this power!'

Binns, who was restrained from behind, was surprised but didn't panic, because he is the Extraordinary of the "cup" of the black earth steps, with unparalleled strength, such a restraint of this level only needs a little force to break free.

And just when Binns was about to forcefully ask for restraint, an extremely intense tingling sensation that he had never felt before penetrated his whole body.

"Ugh... woo woo woo!!!"

Under the sharp pain that penetrated his whole body, Binns' whole body and even his limbs began to tremble uncontrollably, his widened eyes turned white, and his mouth wanted to shout loudly, but because his mouth was covered, He couldn't cry out loud, he could only growl.

Under this piercing pain, Binns became stiff and unable to resist for a short time, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the two sailors had already rushed in front of Binns and the others, and they separated from their pockets. He took out a small knife, and when he rushed to Bins, he stabbed the knife forward. The hearts of Binns and his subordinates were pierced at the same time. There was no life left.

After confirming that Binns and the men beside him were really dead, the two big men let them go, and the two who should have fallen directly to the ground as corpses staggered two steps on the ground and then stood up straight again.

Binns, who stood up again, turned his white eyes back, then pulled out the knife from his chest, and handed it back to the seaman who killed him, then he took off his hat, tidied it up slightly Afterwards, he put it back on his hair, and then he looked at the blood stains on his chest with a calm face, and then Sailor Zhou Shen said.

"I got some dirt on my clothes, I need to go back and change it, you guys continue to patrol."

"Yes, Mr. Binns..."

Saying that, the few people gathered in the corridor began to disperse, and the two big men who got out of the small storage cabinet went back again, and after the two big men went into the cabinet and disappeared, a The sailor who used to pierce Binns' heart took out a small stone box from the glove box, put it in his pocket and left quickly. The little blood dripping on the corridor floor was also sprinkled with a little white ash by another sailor. After that, take a mop and mop it up.

After a while, the scene returned to calm, and everyone left, as if what happened just now had never happened.

......

"The first mate of the Black Earth Step will handle it, huh... In this way, there will be quite a few Haiyuan Sect puppets under his control..."

Sitting in her own cabin, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief after perceiving the situation in the distance, and said that at this moment, he was using his ability to act on the entire ship.

During these actions, Dorothy assassinated some Haiyuan believers who pretended to be sailors, turned them into her own corpse puppets, and let these corpse puppets assassinate their companions. In a short period of time , Dorothy already has seven corpse puppets of the Abyss Cultist in her hands, including a chief mate who was originally a black earth water magician.

Dorothy has been monitoring these people for almost two days. Among them, who is the Haiyuan Sect and who is an ordinary person, Dorothy can already distinguish very clearly, so she is very quick when she strikes. He has already produced a bunch of corpses of Sea Abyss Cultists, including a black earth, and did not kill ordinary sailors by mistake.

Chapter 390 Encounter

Although it is impossible to assassinate two chalks in one go, it is quite easy to do the whole of the small ones below. Although in this operation, Dorothy consumed 2 "cups" and 2 "stones" of spirituality to use life and Electrostatic body, but also harvested some sigils and spiritual storage, in addition to several kinds of life sigils that are standard for "cup" cultists, there are also a few sigils that she does not recognize, Dorothy intends to Check it out after docking.

'Seven corpse puppets of the Sea Abyss Cultists...One of them is quite important...It is enough to prepare for tomorrow's plan.'

While thinking, Dorothy looked at the dark sea outside the window, and then continued to think.

'It's getting closer...it's getting closer, if my calculations are correct, I'll be able to see it at sea level at about 10:30 tomorrow morning...

"The time is getting closer and closer. It seems that I have to get off work a little overtime to make preparations. If everything goes well, tomorrow will be the time to completely get rid of this ship and get rid of the control of these guys."

Dorothy thought in her heart that during the day, she used the flying insect puppet to cooperate with the subtle galvanic body to secretly interfere with the compass on the Shining White Pearl, causing the whole ship to yaw and head towards other ships. direction to go.

In this era without satellite navigation, navigating at sea mainly relies on chart compass and astronomical observation. For navigators, by observing the sun, moon and stars in the sky, they can not only determine the direction, but also pass However, in cloudy weather, celestial navigation becomes difficult to use, so the ship's navigation work can only rely on charts and compass, but the compass can be affected by Dorothy's ability.

By influencing the compass, Dorothy secretly controlled the course of the Shining White Pearl. Although this method is easy to use, it needs the support of the weather, so Dorothy did not use this trick at the beginning, but waited until I started using it when the weather was right this morning.

Under Dorothy's control, the current Shining White Pearl is not heading towards White Tears Island, but heading towards the pilgrimage fleet of the Cult of Radiance, and it is expected to meet tomorrow morning.

Relying on the church's fleet, Dorothy could easily get rid of the heretics on the Shimmering Pearl, but at this moment Dorothy's expression was still extremely serious.

"Relying on the pilgrimage fleet of the Radiance Cult to get rid of these guys is a good idea, but it also has a huge risk. This risk does not come from the people of the Sea Abyss Cult, but from the church itself... ...

'In a sense, in front of the church, I am actually an unofficial suspicious Extraordinary just like the Sea Abyss Sect. If the church knows that there are a large number of Sea Abyss Sect members on board, which are involved in serious extraordinary events, then with the church's temperament and ability, it is bound to High-intensity extraordinary detection will be carried out on the whole ship to ensure the safety of everyone.

"To carry out all-round, high-intensity Extraordinary detection on 700 people to find out all the Extraordinary and Extraordinary traces inside, the consumption of the 'lamp' spirituality is huge, although the Sea Abyss Sect cannot afford such a large consumption , but the church absolutely can.

'According to Vanya, they were escorted by the Third Fleet of the Knights of the Sacrament, a total of six warships, plus three passenger ships carrying pilgrims, a total of nine ships were full of people from the church, There are also a lot of military personnel like the knight order, how many extraordinary people of the 'lamp' are there?

"If the church has determined that there are serious cult activities on the Shining White Pearl, then the entire ship will carry out super-high-intensity extraordinary detection. Even 700 people can detect all of them without a church force of this size." Guess, by that time, not only Costa and the others won’t be able to hide it, but Neveu and I probably won’t be able to hide it either. If the church is really determined to investigate, the little ‘shadow’ in my hand won’t be enough to see. .

'So, tomorrow, I will not only face Costa and the others, but also the church... What I need is to use them as much as possible without the church being suspicious... ...and this...requires a more delicate operation, otherwise Costa and I will be exposed...'

Dorothy thought in her heart that she was both looking forward to and nervous about the constant approach of the church fleet. She needed to use the power of the church, but she also understood that compared with the security bureau, the power of the church was much more dangerous to use. More, you have to be careful.

......

Time flies, very quickly, one night passed, when the night faded and the day came, the Shining White Pearl was still sailing on the vast sea.

Under the still dark clouds, on the front deck where the sea breeze blows, Costa in a captain's uniform is standing in the sea breeze, overlooking the sea level in the distance. Beside him, Massimo in a suit stands up. There, they are also looking into the distance, because they are all auxiliary "lamp" Extraordinary, so they don't need a telescope to see far away.

"According to the voyage, we should be able to arrive at Bailei Island by the evening of this evening... I have already told the other side about the specific things through Wuguan Routai, and they asked us to think about how to face Lord Jianlin's anger for a while. …”

Looking at the scene in the distance, Massimo said with a trace of anxiety, while Costa answered silently.

"It's time to think about it... After all, things have turned out like this, we deserve it... Huh, but we must be more optimistic. Let's think about it, at least after arriving at Bailei Island, that The thieves can be caught, and we can treat him ten times as much as Lord Jianlin treats us."

Costa responded to Massimo's words in this way. After hearing this, Massimo smiled slightly, and then he wanted to say something, but when he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at a place in the distance. sea ​​level.

"Wait... What do you see over there? There seems to be a fleet of ships over there? And it's quite large?"

"Fleet? Don't you think it's so far away from the normal route, how can there be a fleet?" Costa said so, then looked in the direction of Massimo's line of sight, and then he was immediately stunned. land.

In Costa's eyes, he can clearly see that on the sea level in the distance, there are several wisps of black smoke floating up, and under the black smoke, there is a fleet that has been moving all the time.

Looking at the fleet, Costa frowned, because at this time the sailors they were in should not have encountered a fleet of this size, so he thought it was a mirage for a while, so he narrowed his eyes and focused more I used my ability to look at it, but after seeing the deep gun muzzle and the high-hanging Huiyang flag on the fleet, I was shocked.

"Yes, yes...it is the fleet of the Shining God! How could they appear here!"

Taking two steps back, Costa said in astonishment with a pale face. After hearing this, Massimo on the side also focused on looking at the distant target with his abilities. After seeing it clearly, he was so scared that he almost fell down.

"Ahh...that's...that's the cruiser of the Knights of the Holy Order! How is that possible! How is it possible that the fleet of the Knights is here!?"

Massimo said with horror on his face, panicked for a moment and didn't know what to do, while Costa on the other side quickly calmed down and turned around to give orders to his subordinates behind him.

"Notify the cockpit! Immediately turn full rudder and stay away from the fleet over there!"

"boom!!"

As soon as Costa finished speaking, a loud explosion came from the lower cabin of the Shining White Pearl, and suddenly, the entire ship was shaken by the explosion.

Chapter 390: Signal

Conquer the sea, on the route to Ivig.

On the vast ocean, a pilgrimage fleet consisting of two cruisers, four destroyers, three passenger ships, and a total of nine ships is heading for the holy place of the Virgin of Iviga, carrying out A solemn pilgrimage.

At the head of the fleet, a middle-aged officer with a clean beard was standing on the flat front deck of a cruiser that was chopping forward. He was wearing a religious uniform of a naval officer. The captain's cap with Huiyang's military emblem on it, his hands in white gloves behind his back, his sharp eyes staring into the distance.

"Santos, take a look, do you recognize that ship over there?"

After staring into the distance for a while, the officer turned his head to look at a man dressed as an adjutant beside him and said, the man was slightly startled after hearing this, and then looked in the direction the officer was looking at.

"That ship over there...it's quite big...it looks like a cruise ship? Look at the spelling on the ship's side...it seems to be the Shining White Pearl?"

The adjutant frowned slightly while looking into the distance while talking, and then continued to speak.

"No... If I remember well, isn't the Shining White Pearl the ship that will hold the jewelry exhibition? When I was in Barcelona, ​​I read the newspaper saying that although the ship's destination is also Iviga, it is more expensive than ours. If you set sail early, logically speaking, you shouldn’t encounter them, right? Your Excellency Joad, this seems a bit strange.”

The adjutant said with a hint of confusion, listening to the adjutant's words, the officer named Joad also spoke silently.

"Well... yes, theoretically, the Shining White Pearl should not appear here, but the situation on the sea is changing rapidly, and anything can happen. The weather is not very good recently, and there is also the possibility of getting lost...

"All in all, let's continue to pay attention to the situation of that ship. If there is no other special situation, don't worry about it..."

As Joad said, as a senior deacon of the church, a naval officer with many years of sailing and rich experience, he has encountered various sea situations. It is very common, and there are a lot of situations that can cause the ship to be overdue. There are all kinds, so he didn't pay too much attention to the reason why the Shining White Pearl appeared here at this time, anyway. The other side is still far away.

Just when Joad was not going to continue to pay attention to the movement of the distant cruise ship, suddenly, a distant roar came, and Joad was slightly startled when he heard the sound. As an officer, he knew exactly what the sound was. It's an explosion!

"What's going on? Why are there explosions!"

Hearing the explosion, Joad immediately turned his head to the distance and looked in the direction of the original cruise ship. According to the direction, the explosion should have come from there.

"Your Excellency Joad! Look over there! There seems to be abnormal black smoke on the Shining White Pearl! It seems to be on fire!"

At this time, the adjutant who had been paying attention to the cruise ship shouted loudly. Hearing the adjutant's words, Joad's face became extremely serious. He stared at the cruise ship in the distance seriously, and sure enough, he saw a few strands of light in the direction of the rear of the ship. Black smoke wafting from the portholes could be a sign of a fire.

"It seems...some accident happened to them. Judging from the smoke exhaust from their chimneys and the speed of the ship, it may be an explosion caused by a boiler failure. The fire was caused by the explosion...and the boiler failure affected the power, Make them slower than expected, so we catch up..."

Looking at the situation of the cruise ship in the distance, Joad frowned while analyzing with his own experience, and then immediately turned to look at the adjutant beside him.
