Mystery: Shadow of Order

Popular recommendation:

The capital of the Rorsted Islands, the city of Kang.

Alger Wilson put on a robe embroidered with storm patterns and came to the largest church on the island, the Church of the Waves.

It is classical in style, with extensive use of stone columns and arches, and has a high dome and two bell towers.

Standing at the door of the church, Alger didn't rush in, but looked through the light shining in from the narrow windows at a high place, examining the dark and mysterious atmosphere inside, and the warm candlelight that illuminated the area of ​​human activity.

He didn't know why Bishop Chogori was so anxious to meet him this time. The last task of investigating the disappearance of the slaves in the colonies of the southern continent had not been completed. He just investigated a person who might be related to this matter. After that, he concentrated on collecting Roselle's Diary.

A few seconds later, he stepped into the large prayer hall, clenched his right fist, hit his left chest, and said to Bishop Chogori on the opposite side:

"The storm is with you!"

"The storm is with you!" Bishop Chogori responded with the same gesture.

Alger reported with some trepidation:

"Your Excellency Chogori, I have found some clues about the disappearance of slaves in the Southern Continent."

"It's not urgent, you can write a report to me later, I have a new task for you now." The gray-haired Chogori waved his hand, "The sea snake went crazy again a few days ago. There was a storm on the edge of the sea and was injured by Lord Kotman."

sea ​​snake? It was Kavituwa... Alger knew what the mission this time was, to investigate the places where the rebels held live sacrifices, and then destroy them by the church or the navy. It's just that there is no need for a "pirate" like him to do such a task. The power of the church and the navy can completely detect and destroy it.

"Your Excellency Cotman believes that those rebels may not only hold live sacrifices in the Rhosid waters, but may also be held on islands outside the Rhosid waters, and we are not suitable for reconnaissance, so I will give you the task to do."

Although Qiaogori's hair was gray, he was still in high spirits and spoke faster than young people. He seemed to rush out at any time and solve all problems himself. He was strong, his muscles propped up the bishop's robe, and the wind was blowing and the air was moist between his breaths.

Outside the Rhosid Sea, this is beyond the parish of Yan Kotman. No wonder he asked me to do it... This matter is more troublesome than the disappearance of the slaves in the Southern Continent. There are too many uninhabited desert islands on the edge of the Rhosid Sea. I'm about to run around at sea... But this just gave me a chance to collect Roselle's diary... Alger grunted in his heart.

He solemnly clenched his fist and hit his lower left chest:

"Okay, Your Excellency Chogori!

"The storm is with you!"

Diocese Bishop Chogori was satisfied with Alger's attitude, returning the same liturgy:

"The storm is with you!"

Alger Wilson, who was encouraged, quickly left the church. His sailors had already gone to the "Red Theater", and he would only run out of energy and return to the ship tomorrow morning, just in time for him to collect Roselle's diary.

…

Sti Island.

Rawls picked up a branch, fiddled with the fire for grilling fish, and asked curiously:

"You said that you want to find treasure, there is always a goal, right? The Sunya Sea is so big, I won't accompany you to search on the sea without a destination."

"I just ran out for it, how could there be no goal? What I'm looking for is the 'ghost empire' that carries the last treasure of the Trenzost Empire in the fourth era!" Jamil lifted his chin towards Rawls, Looking at him with gray-blue eyes, he seemed to want to see the shock on Rawls's face.

"Hehe, then you can go to any tavern in the Sunya Sea to find your companions, they have the same goals as you, and even have a treasure map, with their help, I believe you will soon be able to find the 'ghost' empire'."

Rawls didn't even look at him, and pushed the fishbone into the ashes where there were only a few sparks left, but the mockery in his words could be heard even by a child like Jamil who was less than human.

Jamie curled his lips and snorted:

"Those people are a bunch of liars, their treasure maps are all drawn randomly, and the 'Ghost Empire' is on a huge ghost ship, how could it stay at a specific location?"

"Have you really bought their treasure map?" Rawls pushed his glasses, and he put them on again. A simple child like Jamil would know it, and others still have to be on guard. Although there are only two living people and a stone man on the island.

"I didn't buy it, I just took a look and remembered it." Jamil shook his head quickly, but judging from his blushing face, he obviously bought one, maybe even more than one.

He turned to look at the stone golem, Romit, and waved:

"Romit, bring that diary and show Rawls. I really didn't lie to him."

Rawls looked at Romit with some curiosity. What he was curious about was not the treasure related to the Trensost Empire, but Romit himself. What kind of existence is such a huge stone man?

Judging from its abilities, it is obviously inseparable from the "cultivator" pathway, but it is also the "nanny" of Jamil, a person related to the Church of Knowledge. Although six hundred years have passed since the War of Breach of Oath, the relationship between the Church of Knowledge and the Church of the Earth has not eased, at least not on the surface.

Romit did not reject Jamil's rash move. The two pectoralis major-like blue-gray rocks in his chest made a cacha sound and slowly opened outward, revealing a dark and deep hole, and a ivy bound the palm of the hand. A large book protrudes from it. Qingteng came to the top of Rawls's head, released the diary, and bounced back into the hole with a "swoosh", and the two blue-gray rocks slowly closed together.

Is this stone man hollow inside? Or only the chest is hollow... Rawls made no secret of his curiosity about Romit. He believed that Jamil, the "reader", would definitely tell him that the desire to show off knowledge and the "diver" belong to Path characteristics.

"Romit is a golem, but she's not like those rigid golems. She's my family."

Jamie's speech made Romit let out a doting laughter, and a large, gentle hand stroked little Jamie's head.

Stone Golem?

Rawls remembered that this was a battle puppet that could only be made by an "ancient alchemist", but judging from Romit's current status, he was more of a nanny than a battle.

"Isn't this something that 'ancient alchemists' can refine?" He didn't mention the entanglement between the two churches. The question of belief is a big trouble in any world.

Jamil glanced at Rawls unexpectedly. He knew that Rawls was a lawyer, and now he knew that he was a Beyonder, but ordinary Beyonders would not know about "ancient alchemists" or "ancient alchemists". Master" can refine stone golems. Either his identity is unusual, or he has a large accumulation of knowledge.

"As long as you understand the process of making life, through research, you can do the same thing, it's just more troublesome."

No, even if I understand, I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it. It’s a matter of approach, not learning. Rawls looked at Jamil, who was quite proud, and knew that his identity was not so simple. At least one Only the relatives of the Sequence 4 Prophet will be so generous that a stone golem can be the nanny.

No wonder he was able to sneak out from Ma Xi, there is a relative of a "prophet" who must have made a prediction long ago, and he was sure that Jamil would not be in danger before letting him out, plus the stone golem Bao Mu (bao). Biao), has been able to deal with most of the dangers...

This is the advantage of having a background! But without Alysia, I'm afraid I wouldn't take Philip's mission... Rawls shook his head slightly and picked up the notebook on the ground.

Is this a nautical diary?

As soon as he turned two pages, Rawls knew what it was. This should be a captain's voyage diary. The date on the first page was September 27, 1239. Most of the previous content was related to the route, Wind direction, weather, local terroir, etc.

The first place that appears in the diary is Tirith, the big city of Intis on the coast of the Middle Sea, followed by the ports along the Feysac coast such as Indo Harbor and Dusk Harbor, and then the Fossa such as Laus Harbor. East Port.

The captain should have set off from Intis, crossed the Middle Sea to the northernmost part of the Northern Continent, then went south along the coastline, and then reached the Rhosid Islands. Before this, the diary did not mention the news of the Trenzost Empire. Although the following pages of the diary also did not have any related records, it can be found that there are some problems.

After arriving at the Rhodes Islands, although the ship still followed the route all the way to the east, passing through the islands of Oravi, Droll, Toscat and other islands, there is not much record about the customs of these islands. Before, these islands were just colonized by Loen, and there were still many original natives, which was not in line with the previous captain's performance.

The last few pages have no date, weather, wind direction, etc., and the handwriting is also very scribbled, and it is Intis script, so that Rawls must be carefully distinguished to recognize it.

"I have finally found traces of it, and what is written on that parchment is true! If I find it, I can buy estates and have more mistresses than my father! I want to buy a viscount, No, I'm going to buy an earl title, and let my stupid Kars, who would flatter my old Hutu father, meet me and call me Your Excellency!"

After Roselle's tossing and turning, two groups of nobles appeared in the Republic of Intis, one group of nobles who were canonized by the Sauron family before Roselle, and the other group of nobles who were canonized by Roselle. However, these people now only have one noble title, and they do not receive any preferential treatment at all, but it is undeniable that many Intis people still like to buy such a false title.

With such a name, he can still deceive many passionate Intis girls, which is absolutely tempting for Intis men, although it is issued by the Parliament of the Intis Republic and is not subject to Two other groups of nobles welcome.

It seems that the captain has not inherited the title and family property, and can only run out to earn a family property.

"The temperature of this sea area is getting colder and colder. I feel that it is colder than the North Sea. The parchment says that this is the trace of the 'Ghost Empire' passing by. It carries the last legacy of the Trenzost Empire. 'Empire of Ghosts', your master, the great Christian Cramp, is coming. Having found you, I can become a more powerful being than the master of the 'Dark Emperor'!"

"My servants are conspiring, they discovered my secret, but my faithful servant Carlos reported the news to me. A group of poor fellows also want to betray your master, your master is an extraordinary, wait until I find it. 'Ghost Empire', I will burn you all to ashes and throw them all into the sea."

"I saw it, I saw it, it's so big! I can see it even from that distance, it's bigger than an island. It's just too cold here, I'm going to burn something to keep warm , those servants who plot to betray me are the best fuelwood!"

"Hmph, Carlos even betrayed me, and I even planned to give him a boarding certificate, but unfortunately a group of ordinary people also want to resist me, I am a 'arsonist' of Sequence 7, even if I don't need fire, I can use words Make them crazy!"

After reading the last line of words, Rawls raised his head and looked at Jamil. If this diary is not made up, then Jamil may really be able to find the 'Ghost Empire'... The premise is that there is a boarding certificate and a navigation map, and Diary owner Christian had a good end.

At least, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Rawls has never had the name Christian Cramp in his memory, so the good fantasies in his diary are probably not realized.

"That's all I have. I don't have the parchment mentioned in the diary. I only have a few boarding certificates." Jamil shrugged, "How about it? Do you want to accompany me on a treasure hunt? From the description in the diary. Look, the 'Empire of Ghosts' should be somewhere in the sea southeast of Tuscat Island."

Rawls threw the diary to him, stood up and patted the dirt on his body:

"You said before that the 'Ghost Empire' is a ship and will not stay at a specific location. How can you be sure that it must be in that sea area?"

"I checked the information, and I have the time records that most of the people who claim to have seen the 'Ghost Empire' said..." Jamil took out a few pieces of paper from his body and handed them to Rawls, "I have calculated These times, and then exclude some particularly outrageous ones, I can be sure that during this time, it must be in that sea area.”

Rawls took the sheets of paper, with lines of words on the top, recording the time and place of seeing the "Phantom Empire", and then the dense calculations. He was a little dizzy on the dense symbols and numbers, and quickly turned the pages. On the last page, I saw Jamil's reasoning.

According to his calculations, the ghost ship is traveling according to the established trajectory, probably sailing around the entire Sunia Sea, and in April and October every year, it is likely to appear in the southeast of Tuscat Island. piece of sea.

As soon as he put down the paper, Rawls caught the fleeting disdain in Jamil's eyes and his dissatisfaction that Rawls skipped his efforts. in the pocket.
