Alien paradise

One night passed quickly, and early the next morning, the City Guards messenger brought Sandra news: Jerry Will had agreed to cooperate with them, including providing a crew list and corresponding replacement work. However, he himself had no way of knowing the information about the invited guests, and those who boarded the ship needed to investigate on their own.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chaoyang took the players to formally contact the city guards as the manager of Destiny Gate. Then Zhang Zhiyuan, Naruko Asahara, Zhou Zhi, Cui Zhenen, Anthony and Elodie changed into crew uniforms and dressed up as handymen in advance. Get on board and lurk.

Sandra also made a large-scale deployment of the city guards - but in order to conceal the true purpose, she transferred most of them to the inner city, nominally conducting surprise inspections of many properties in Abvich. In fact, only one hundred and fifty relatively reliable subordinates were selected to operate two assault patrol ships on standby at sea. The land operations were completely left to Gawei and the Divine Machine Church behind the priestess.

Although there is only one executive priest in Brilliant Castle, the ordinary staff of Shenji Cult have also undergone armed training, and bringing steam rifles is also a fighting force. At Gewei's request, a team of twenty believers was formed. Their mission was to make the final arrest on the coast when the enemy jumped over the wall and escaped into the water.

For this battle, all the military forces in the city except the company were mobilized, and the plan was all carried out in secret, without causing any waves on the surface. All residents had no idea of ​​the coming war, and the port and surrounding streets were still a busy scene.

Evening comes quickly.

When the setting sun left only the last purple-red afterglow on the sea, the Lady of Joy sounded the whistle according to the sailing plan.

"Woo————————!"

Even on the top of the ruined observation tower, Sandra could hear this long cry.

She prayed silently in her heart - not to any god, but to the faith in her heart, hoping that this true battle to suppress the cult would be successful.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Lady of Joy slowly left the port and sailed into the sea.

…

"Hurry up and put the dishes on the table. Your Majesty the Divine Envoy doesn't like to wait!"

"Why is there something dirty on this tablecloth? Get it replaced quickly! You idiot, you can't even handle this little thing!"

In the banquet hall of the ship, Steward Fogomin was directing the arrangement of the tableware. Although he was wearing a decent dress, there was no hint of propriety in his words, and the eyes he looked at the crew were full of contempt.

Perhaps to him, people who have nothing to do with activities are the lowest slaves.

And the unlucky ones doing these errands right now are the players.

In order to reduce contact with other crew members, Jerry thoughtfully replaced the entire banquet chore team with a six-person team of players, and this was also the team most suitable for gathering intelligence - although they were not allowed to appear at formal events, The place where they rest is in the cubicle in the corner of the hall. It is narrow, but the environment is much better than that of the engine crew working below the deck.

There is no doubt that the Lady of Joy is a large ship, with a total length of nearly two hundred meters. The banquet hall is also quite magnificent, about the same size as the main hall of the Sinclair Theatre, and the decorative materials are even more magnificent. Except for the size, which is not as good as the super cruise ship Titanic, it is basically on par with it in other aspects, especially the hedonistic service. For example, before the guests enter the room, the beautiful girl in cool clothes is already getting ready in the cabin opposite.

The lighting of the Goddess of Joy is also unique. Not only are there many ring chandeliers installed in the large space, but the walls are also inlaid with crystal stones that emit a soft light. Even if there are no electric lights, the upper area is still bright. Like daylight, the design ideas are one level ahead of the urban construction of Brilliant Castle.

It is also said to be the most luxurious ship operating in the New World.

It’s no wonder Aibovich is so interested in this ship.

But beneath its glamorous exterior, the core is no different from the slums in the city. In places where customers will not visit, there is always sewage flowing on the ground, and the smell is sour and unpleasant. The crew were either crowded into small closed cabins or slept in hammocks. The entrances and exits between the upper deck and the lower cabin were even locked with iron doors to prevent these dirty and smelly crew members from running up and surprising the guests.

Even if the chore team members like the player are in the upper echelons, they are not allowed to leave the banquet hall and lounge at will after sailing the ship, and it is common to be beaten and scolded by the stewards.

The luxurious décor and delicious food on the ship were not meant for them.

Zhang Zhiyuan didn't have any objections to this situation. He knew that his current role was that of an undercover agent. As long as he was not discovered, everything else was fine.

What he was really worried about was Anthony, and he had been paying attention to his actions since he started decorating the banquet hall. This guy has always had a bad temper and is extremely impatient. If he suddenly breaks out, he may make the supervisor suspicious.

"Hey, I'm talking about you!"

Just as he was afraid of anything, Fogomin suddenly stopped Anthony and pointed at the dining table with an annoyed look, "What's the use of your brain? You can't even put it on display? How many times have I told you, Gao?" The foot cup should be placed five centimeters to the left of the dinner plate, the table knife should be three centimeters to the right, and the middle part should be aligned with the handle of the cup! Do you think you have placed it in place?"

Anthony frowned, "In my eyes there is no difference between them...and this does not affect the use."

"You still dare to talk back!?" the steward screamed, "Being uniform is the requirement of His Excellency the God Envoy. Everything in the hall must be in order. If you can't do it well, get out of here with me now!"

Zhang Zhiyuan clicked his tongue and was about to step forward to dissuade him. Elodie had already run to the steward and bent down deeply. "I'm sorry! He was just stupid and didn't question your intention. I'll rearrange the cups immediately. Please don’t be angry!”

Her magical voice made the steward's anger disappear immediately, "Okay, I'll give him another chance." Then Fogomin looked at Elodie a few more times, "Is this your first time here? I haven't seen him before. Pass you."

"Yes." Elodie lowered her head and responded, "I used to work in Yunzhongting."

The list of companions on the Lady of Joy is very fluid and is not always a fixed list of people. This is a rule that they were informed before boarding the ship.

"Not bad, not bad... he's a good seedling." The steward nodded with satisfaction, "I haven't seen a polite person like you among civilians for a long time. Work hard and I will give you something after this event is over. An extra reward.”

"Yes, thank you for your approval!" Elodie's tone was full of excitement, as if she was really happy for it.

Huh... so dangerous.

Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Miss Evil is indeed a special player with an official background. Every time she opens her mouth, she will always give people a sense of peace and comfort - once or twice can be said to be an illusion, but every time she does so. It can only be classified as magic.

"Is this cult god a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder?" Cui Zhenen came close to him and whispered while spreading the tablecloth, "The requirements are so high, I feel like I can go to a mental hospital to register."

Indeed... Zhang Zhiyuan glanced at the banquet hall and felt the same way. The items placed on each round table must be arranged strictly as shown on the sample table, with vases, candlesticks and tableware forming a standard inverted triangle. Zooming into the entire hall, all tables are placed symmetrically, and the central axis is the hull itself. In terms of visual effects alone, such a banquet hall does have a neat and symmetrical beauty, but when you consider that the request comes from a cultist who is known for being crazy, this move seems quite abnormal.
