Mystic Dominator

What followed was a weeks-long sea voyage.

Following the known safe route, the three steamships used by the casters of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] will go all the way south, and then enter the currently unexplored waters.

But even before entering unfamiliar waters.

This journey also brought a lot of troubles to people.

After the day when the personnel replacement was completed, in the next two weeks, the fleet of three steamships encountered two extreme weather conditions on the sea.

From gloomy days to dark nights.

The terrifying wind, rain and waves always give people the feeling that they can destroy the ship at any time. Even when Ronald sleeps in his own special cabin, it is difficult to rule out the influence of this extreme weather.

Except for the two periods of walking in the storm.

On other voyages, life on board the ship became a completely boring process.

If it weren't for the fact that the steamer was large enough, it would also provide passengers with entertainment places to kill time. Ronald felt that within a few months, the group of magicians who could not bear the loneliness would cause quite a stir on the ship.

Bang bang bang——

This lasted until the third week of sailing.

One early summer morning at sea, when Ronald was lying alone in bed in the cabin, there was a knock on the cabin door.

"Who is it? Please come in!"

Ronald climbed out of bed and called to the visitor.

Through the detection of magic, he could feel the familiar aura of the person outside, but he could not remember the specific identity of the person, so he could only ask.

Then Ronald's words fell to the ground.

A girl outside dragging a dinner plate opened the hatch and walked in. At the same time, she greeted Ronald with a smile:

"Although I have only met once before, I don't think Mr. Ronald has forgotten me, right?"

"..."

“I didn’t expect to meet you here.

"

Seeing the other party's figure, Ronald was stunned for a few seconds before realizing the other party's identity.

——It turned out to be Martha!

The nun with a special status whom Ronald met at the monastery when he received the Sword of Saint Caterina.

However, the two of them had not seen each other for a long time.

At this time, it seems that the other party's clothes are obviously different from when they met before. The black and white nun's uniform is not only different from ordinary nuns, but also has a lot of silver arc texture added to it.

There are very few people in the church who have this kind of special clothing.

Ronald immediately understood the identity of the other party - the Holy Priest.

The nun in front of her has become as important as the priest. If we describe it according to the elements of a relatively easy-to-understand fantasy story, this is a proper church saint!

At the same time, under Ronald's rather surprised gaze.

Martha sat down on the dining table in front of Ronald with a dinner plate, and then placed the breakfast in her hands firmly on the table.

"Mr. Ronald, do you mind if I join you for breakfast?"

"Of course I don't mind!" Ronald smiled decisively, and then took out a glass of milk and a piece of bread from the dinner plate that Malda brought, "But you didn't choose this time to come here to see me just to have breakfast. Bar?"

Faced with Ronald's inquiry.

Martha is no longer as young as she was when they first met.

A slow smile appeared on her face, and then she, who had become a holy priest, slowly opened her mouth and said:

"Actually, the main purpose is to have breakfast this time."

"Because this action itself is a sign for the church to notify the outside world that we have a good relationship with you."

So that’s it…

Ronald could completely understand the other party's explanation.

As a holy priest with a unique status in the church, every move Martha makes now has its own meaning. A single person visit like today can indeed have a very significant effect.

"There is certainly no problem in announcing to the outside world that our relationship is good."

Ronald immediately nodded and approved of Martha's approach.

After all, both the church's past attitude and the Saint Caterina's Sword that Ronald was accustomed to using gave his church a very good impression.

And observe each other carefully at this moment.

Ronald could also feel that Martha in front of him had a more subtle and holy magic wave than before. Apparently, the girl who became a holy priest has very strong magical abilities in the mysterious field.

But at present, Ronald does not know the actual specific role.

"..."

Next, in such a quiet and relaxed atmosphere, Ronald and Malda finished breakfast together.

Then the holy priest in front of him took the initiative to stand up and began to clean up the remnants on the table.

It wasn't until she stood up and was about to leave that Martha finally spoke to Ronald again:

"Mr. Ronald. According to the astrologer on the ship, our ship will dock once in the south in two days for final replenishment of consumables. The rest of the voyage will really be searching for things on the empty sea. The road ahead is risky.”

Malda spoke very calmly, and seemed to be just informing Ronald of the plan for the next fleet voyage.

But with Ronald's sharp mind.

I still heard what the other party meant implicitly.

"Malda, do you think the fleet needs my help to guide the way forward?"

Martha smiled back:

"If you are willing to help, I think everyone on the ship will be more than welcome."

This almost confirms that he has a way to guide the way.

Seeing Martha's attitude, Ronald felt a little complicated. At the end when the holy priest was about to leave, he couldn't help but ask.

"Is it a prophecy spell?"

Martha didn't mean to hide anything from Ronald, and answered simply:

"You are of extremely high status, and prophecy spells cannot have very good effects."

"It's just that in the prophecy made before this voyage, the caster got some vague hints, indicating that you will provide help or cause trouble during this expedition, which will have a very important impact."

"..."

"Thank you for your answer."

Ronald thanked him, but Martha just smiled and turned towards the restaurant of the cruise ship.

That's when.

Costat, who originally prepared breakfast for Ronald, returned here with a dinner plate at just this moment.

The maid looked at Martha's figure leaving with the dinner plate.

Then he looked at the white crumbs that had not been wiped off the corner of Ronald's mouth.

The next second, Costart showed an unprecedented expression of collapse, and in the blink of an eye he hurried to Ronald:

"Sir, am I going to lose my job?"

"?" Ronald's face was filled with questions. "Costat, why do you have such an idea?"

The maid then answered seriously:

"I've observed a lot of human behavior on the ship these days!"

"Based on the habits shown in their conversations."

"Some nobles will use this relatively subtle notification method when they are ready to fire their servants..."
