The mysterious journey begins with becoming a pirate

Sitting in a small restaurant on the edge of the Garosan District, Connor and Alok sat face to face. Both of them had a not-so-sumptuous dinner in front of them.

Just now, Connor stood in front of this store and refused to leave, looking inside through the window. Although Alok didn't want to treat Connor at all, he just wanted to find the temple as soon as possible, but it was too embarrassing to be watched by passers-by around him.

So, he took the pitiful Connor into this dirty restaurant.

The table was greasy, the wooden stools creaked, and none of the four stool legs were the same length.

Most of the people around were workers who had just got off work or hadn't gotten off work yet, and the air was mixed with the smell of sweat. It was not very comfortable.

Alok's appetite was really not very good, mainly because he was angry with Connor.

He rarely got angry like this, but he was really angry with Connor.

So, he just had two bites of the meal. He only saw Connor feasting on the opposite side and almost licking the plate clean.

The way he eats is so unrefined, it's embarrassing for me.

"Hey! Is it so delicious?" Alok asked with a frown.

"Hmm~~~" Connor's mouth made such a sound.

"Why are you so miserable?" Alok asked in confusion.

"Hmm~~Mmm~~"

"As a superhuman, you even have to steal clothes, how did you do it?"

"Hmm?? Hmm?? Oh~~"

"Also. Doesn't the temple care about food?" Alok questioned.

Connor, who originally only cared about the food in front of him, suddenly raised his head, with a noodle hanging from the corner of his mouth, and said incoherently:

"That's right. No food. Too much."

"Oh~~~ Damn it." Alok patted his head, desperate and helpless. "Are you a qualified assassin?"

"Of course. I have passed the exam of the temple." Connor wiped the corner of his mouth and said.

"Although I haven't completed any missions so far, I am still a qualified assassin."

"Then how did you fail?" Alok asked with his head tilted.

"This is the secret of the temple. It cannot be revealed. Don't try to find out these secrets. I won't tell anyone." Connor said seriously.

Alok shook his head helplessly, leaned against the back of the chair, and asked: "Have you eaten? Let's go quickly. I don't want to delay any longer. The trick of playing tricks doesn't work anymore."

"I didn't play tricks, you said you would treat me." Connor argued.

"Just as you said you had finished eating. We should set off. I hope you don't play tricks anymore. In the face of strength, tricks are just a funny farce. I hope you can understand." Alok stood up from the chair and looked at Connor and advised.

"Of course. When did I play tricks? Let's go now." Connor continued to argue incoherently.

She saw that Alok didn't care about her tricks at all, stood up from the chair directly, and then walked out of the restaurant. I also ran a few steps to follow Alok's footsteps.

"I don't want to see your boring memories. Where is the temple?" Alok lowered his eyebrows and looked a little impatient.

"It's just in front, almost there. It's better to hide in the slums." Connor walked to Alok's side and said.

"Well. That's good." Alok answered casually.

Afterwards, the two did not continue to talk, but just kept moving forward. Finally stopped in front of a shack-like house. Alok scratched his head, but still chose to believe Connor.

There was indeed at least a mid-level assassin in the astral vision. This made him feel a little relieved.

Although the temple of the cult is very dangerous for ordinary people, I am at least a follower, so it shouldn't be a problem to seek cooperation.

He paused, then motioned Connor to continue leading the way.

Entering this "shack", there is a different world inside, which is in line with Alok's judgment.

Just after entering, it was full of ordinary things, but after turning a corner and passing a staircase down, a more open scene appeared in front of Alok.

The underground part was not too tall, but it was also five meters high. Many stone pillars supported the ceiling to prevent falling.

The stone pillars formed a corridor, and the flickering candlelight around made the underground space seem less dark. Under the candlelight, the shadows swayed, making this space mysterious.

Is this the temple?

The astral vision reminded Alok that there were many assassins around, not empty as the naked eye saw.

He couldn't help but be a little vigilant in his heart, and followed Kant carefully.

"Just go forward." Connor said in a low voice.

Alok knew it without Connor reminding him.

The environment here reminded him of the time in the mysterious sea, a very similar environment, the same stone pillars, but the difference was that there were no murals.

If nothing unexpected happened, there should be a circular hall in front, with the statue of the goddess of vengeance in the middle.

Such memories made him sweat on his back. He clenched his palms and swallowed his saliva.

The darkness ahead made him nervous. The stone pillars became fewer and fewer, and a stone door appeared in front of Alok.

The door opened, and Alok's heart suddenly lifted.

"Welcome."

A cold female voice suddenly sounded in Alok's ears. It gave him a start.

The welcome from an assassin of at least level 5 was really warm.

"Don't be nervous, Captain Jack. You didn't seem nervous when you held Connor hostage?" The female voice suddenly changed.

"Instructor Namusha. Huh~huh~hu~~ I'm finally safe." Connor said with joy. "I tried many ways to escape but couldn't. He's too evil."

Namusha's figure appeared in front of Alok, and Connor hid behind her.

She was a tall lady with a blurry figure in the dark, and only her face was the clearest.

Her skin was dark, her facial features were very obvious, her nose was high, and her lips were thin.

It's good to see a living person, I'm not here to fight, Alok calmed down and said:

"Ms. Namusha. Let me introduce myself. Alok Phasma, also known as Jack Jones."

"No need to introduce, I heard your name a long time ago. I prefer to call you Captain Jack. Killing, arson, making explosions, terrorist attacks, it can be said that you have done all kinds of evil. It's much more evil than the temple." Namusha said with a smile on her lips.

Alok coughed twice, looked at Namusa's black pupils and said, "It's all just false reputation. I only did what I thought was right. With the ability of the Holy Temple, they wouldn't think that these are all true."

"Haha~ Of course it's true. These news are all true. It's just that the newspaper hid the most critical things, leading to completely opposite results. Isn't it?" Namusa laughed.

Alok pulled a bitter smile from the corner of his mouth and said, "Sorry, I don't read newspapers, and I hate to read the false news in them. It's a pity that I didn't see my reputation in the newspaper."

"That's a pity." Namusa shook her head slightly and said. "I wonder what Captain Jack is doing in the temple?"

Since he asked this, Alok didn't plan to continue to laugh and said straight to the point:

"As a devout believer of shadows and a goddess's favored one, can you come and seek cooperation?"

This sentence seemed to hit Namusa's funny spot, making her laugh out loud and say: "Devout believer of shadows?? Hahaha~~~hahaha~~~We never talk about this. You learned it from the priests of the Temple of Order."

"Alok added awkwardly.

Namusa stopped typing and said: "We are all favored ones. I'm not afraid of you. Roman told me about this. I didn't expect it. The goddess will let a~~~make you a favored one."

"Oh. Roman. I've met her and went to her house for a cup of tea." Alok didn't expect to meet another favored one, which made him a little embarrassed.

But this is also good, giving the two more opportunities to cooperate.

"I think our goals are the same. Counter-will." Alok said again.

"Of course. This is the main goal at this stage. The remaining ones are 'Pink Paradise' and 'Bound Heart'." Namusha agreed. But when talking about the last one, the Bound Heart, she seemed to be gritting her teeth.

Bound Heart?

Another cult? Why haven't I heard of it?

The name sounds like an organization of bound magicians.

But this is not the point. Our current cooperation is against the anti-will. Alok did not delve into this issue, but continued:

"So. Have we reached a cooperation?"
