Chapter 681 Please don’t be superstitious, this pastor

The two years in Naspar were neither long nor short. Due to the need to go on missions frequently, even classmates who had little contact with each other could at least get to know each other roughly.

Therefore, friends who are familiar with Pei Renli lament that this person is reliable in doing things, but also feel very regretful about why he has a long mouth...

Olkin thought it was not possible.

If I ask you to beat me up, in the end you will remember me as a reckless man, right?

But when Olkin noticed that Perrenli was about to hit the hammer down again, he jumped up and said:

"Wait, don't smash it yet! Don't smash it!"

In his desperation, he didn't care about any etiquette, which made other people look confused.

This is actually what happened.

Moradon Territory, like Wegellin Territory, mainly relies on sea transportation for foreign trade due to the difficulty of land transportation.

Recently, Holkin heard from people at the port that the number of merchant ships arriving was getting smaller and smaller.

Under normal circumstances, unless there are special reasons, the number of merchant ships is fixed, equivalent to regular ships, neither too many nor too few.

No one noticed that there were one or two missing ships, but the number of merchant ships that did not arrive at the scheduled time was increasing, so we had to start an investigation.

After all, this is about whether the people in the entire territory can survive.

At first, I thought there was a problem with the chamber of commerce that cooperated with the territory, so I first asked a regular ship to bring a letter and asked about the cause of the problem.

As a result, the Chamber of Commerce responded that we dispatched merchant ships regularly as in previous years without any changes, but recently some ships did not arrive on time.

This sounded a bit perfunctory, so Olkin sent a special person to directly negotiate with the Chamber of Commerce, and then it was really confirmed that the merchant ship was indeed missing.

The Chamber of Commerce sends out merchant ships according to the agreed number every month, but the number that reaches Moradon Territory is very small. If it is not a problem with the Chamber of Commerce, then there is trouble in the process.

The first thing Olkin thought of was pirates. After all, the Moradon Territory has been threatened by pirates for a long time, and all the people in the territory have the experience of fighting pirates with their weapons.

Although Moradon Territory and Wegelin Territory face each other across the sea, the sea between them is actually just a large sunken bay. The wind and waves are not big enough to capsize large transport ships, so only pirates are the most likely to do so.

Already.

It was a coincidence that not long after, the patrol boat led by Moradon caught a few pirates who were driving a small boat and 'stepping on the plates' nearby. After a lot of memory recovery techniques, techniques to prevent bewilderment, and how many years old they were still wetting the bed.

After trying them all, I finally confirmed that this matter had nothing to do with pirates.

Pirates are not stupid. They will not try to catch fish by depleting the lake. The disappearance of such a high-intensity merchant ship will eventually lead to no merchant ships taking this route. They can still distinguish between a meal and a meal.

Now Olkin was confused. It wasn't pirates or sea conditions, so why did the ship suddenly disappear?

And it is also in the same bay, but there has never been a missing merchant ship in the Wegelin Territory on the other side. This means that the disappearance of the ship is not on the long sea route before entering the bay. The problem is that it happened in this bay, and it is also close to Moradon.

Collar one side.

After some elimination, Olkin decided to use the most scientific method.

——Worship God.

Yes, in this world, asking God about questions you don’t understand is the most reliable and scientific method.

He specially held a grand sacrificial ceremony to pray to Tempus, the god of war, to give him guidance, at least to let him know who the enemy was, right?

Tempus was indeed very powerful, and the sacrifice was not in vain, and he immediately issued an oracle.

Olkin saw a stone ball in the vision given by Tempus, indicating that this thing was closely related to the disappearance of the ship.

Since he was always happy to hear strange and weird rumors, he soon got news that the fishermen led by Wigelin had fished out a particularly weird stone ball, which also led to the disappearance of several fishermen.

So Olkin rushed over with his ship in the name of trade.

The process is probably like this. Perrenli, who listened to Olkin's performance once, said in confusion:

"Does the oracle have no other hints besides the stone balls?"

"Only this."

"This is too general. Could it be that you were deceived?"

"..."

If the memory of being beaten was not so vivid in his mind, Olkin would have wanted to capture Perrenli and go out for a duel.

This cannot be blamed on Olkin, nor on Tempus, the god of war.

The reason why the oracle is vague is purely because it is too far away. From the divine realm where Tempus is located, it needs to cross countless planes before it finally reaches the receiving end, which is Oljin.

Although God can issue more detailed and accurate oracles, doing so will consume too much divine power. Unless it is a believer who values ​​​​especially or something that is particularly important, God generally will not do this.

To put it more simply, the signal is not good and the phone bill is too expensive.

If nothing else, just take Pei Renli’s experience as an example.

The several instructions given by the Grave Lady were very vague. They did not clearly say where there is something. I hope you can deal with it.

The truly clear oracle was when the Immortal Maiden guided Camilla during the Burning Night. It was because Camilla, a valued believer, was in a life-and-death crisis, so the goddess made great efforts.

But having said that, it is also true that the oracle is too vague. If a ship disappears, what does it have to do with the stone ball?

Pei Renli thought for a while, then swung the hammer up again with a clang. The surface of the stone ball had already cracked very obvious cracks.

"Wait a minute! This is related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in my territory!"

"You said that the disappearance of the ship was related to the stone ball. Can you provide any evidence that is necessary for the connection?"

Now Olguin is out of power.

"Indeed, there is not, but since the oracle guided me to find it, I believe that the King of War must have his arrangements."

"Well, you are right, but I don't believe in the God of War."

Without waiting for Olkin to react, another blow came.

After all, what does the survival of the hundreds of thousands of residents in your Moradon territory have to do with my demon king in the sea of ​​trees?

When the hammer hit the iron drill, the cracked stone ball immediately made a crunching sound, and large and small shell-like fragments peeled off from the stone ball.

"At least be more prudent! Let's discuss it first!"

If he hadn't been unable to defeat him, Orkin would have charged forward long ago.

From this perspective, Perrenli actually reversed Olkin's reckless character, which is enough to show how deep a psychological shadow it left on him...

Kaya, who had been silent while watching the play, tugged on the corner of Perenli's clothes, probably because she didn't want to get too tense with Olkin.

After all, we are neighbors, and there is no benefit in quarreling with Leader Moradon.

For Kaya's sake, Pei Renli stopped his hammer:

"What do you want to do? Is there any magic or something like that to find clues to the missing ship through this stone ball?"

"Well...that's not true. I hope I can bring it back to the temple..."

Olkin's idea was that since Tempus, the god of war, asked him to find this stone ball, he should bring it back to the temple after finding it, so that Tempus could have a look again, and maybe there would be a new divine domain.

As a result, when Pei Renli heard the first half of the sentence, he had already swung the hammer again.

It's okay for you to talk nonsense to me!

With a click, the stone ball completely left the center. Olkin's eyes widened and he almost rushed forward to fight for his life.

At this moment, a spiritual light suddenly appeared from the cracked stone ball.

The spiritual light was like flowing spring water, spurting out from the cracked gap and dripping on the floor like a real liquid, leaving large water stains.

Olkin immediately knelt down piously with a plop, thinking this was a miracle from Tempus.

"Why do you do this great gift? You don't need to worship me like this."

"Don't you see? That flowing aura is definitely a miracle from our Lord!"

"You mean this?"

Pei Renli pointed to the floor:

"This is just sea water hidden in a stone ball that has been contaminated by magic. It looks like it will glow."

“…..”

The aura that flows like a liquid is really a liquid.

Olkin stood up again silently, but his face was a little red, probably not because of the heat...

Therefore, belief is okay, but superstition is not necessary.

To be precise, this stone ball is not a stone. Its shell has a structure similar to that of shells and corals, more like it was glued on when it was soaked in the sea.

And precisely because in the sea, the center of the stone ball is completely like a candy-filled structure, with a large mass of seawater inside. When Pei Renli smashed it, seawater naturally flowed out from it.

But having said that, seawater is yes, but it is seawater infected by magic power. Generally, this phenomenon only occurs in an environment with a super concentration of magic power.

The dripping seawater also affected the operation of the magic circle on the ground, and the stone balls floating in the air were a little crooked.
