The mysterious journey begins with becoming a pirate

"Where did this news come from?" Alok asked softly.

"The answer given by the shadow." Namu Sha lowered his head slightly and explained.

Hearing this, Alok was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, looked at the silent crowd and said:

"You want to assassinate the emperor in Damia without a high-level strong man appearing? This seems difficult to achieve."

"Who said there are no high-level powerful people in Damia?" Namu Sha asked calmly while looking at Alok.

"Oh? Then our actions failed to lure them out?" Alok asked doubtfully.

Namusa looked at Alok and continued to say calmly:

"They just tolerate not showing up. They are the real core members of Paradise. There are such people hidden in the top leadership of almost every country and many organizations. They usually just watch silently. What we do may be in their eyes It’s just a trivial matter. It’s not worth exposing. But when something really big happens that affects the world, they will secretly promote the development of the incident.”

"This is the scary thing about heaven. There is absolutely no shortage of such people in Damiya. Even the temple cannot avoid them."

So to say? ? Alok suddenly fell into deep thought.

Looking back, he could already vaguely sense that there seemed to be a pair of invisible hands behind the entire incident, secretly promoting development. And I can only see part of it. part of the surface.

What is the purpose of heaven? What to do?

He had no idea.

Probably in front of the current heaven, such an organization formed by oneself seems like child's play.

Now Alok even suspects that the sudden war launched by the Khebuli Empire also has the shadow of heaven. The same goes for the wedding of the Duke of Eton. Now you want to assassinate Kafka XI?

Is this the legendary paradise that can control human destiny?

"Except for the Trappist Order and the Temple." A sharp and evil voice interrupted Alok's thinking. It's Medea.

She did not seem to think that there were members of Heaven among the upper echelons of the Trappist Order and the Temple.

Alok cleared his throat and finally said:

"I think we should wait for more information on this plan before discussing it. As for the purge of Pink Paradise members within Medea. Roger, please cooperate with Medea."

"Riel, you are responsible for distributing the supplies."

"The meeting is dismissed!"

······

After a moment of darkness, Elok's figure appeared on the third floor of the Night Rose.

He straightened his clothes, stood up from the wicker chair, and shook the sore neck caused by the uncomfortable sitting posture.

"El, I'm going to the Dusk Forest to ask Ariel about the Astral Spiritual Body. Remember not to let anyone in when you are distributing those black goods outside."

"Hmm~~Your words are easily misunderstood. You won't do anything shameful with Ariel in there." Il also just got up from the bed, packed the keys, and frowned in confusion.

Alok ignored her, rolled his eyes and walked out of the third floor.

"Praise the Queen." He praised loudly and exaggeratedly. I didn’t forget to use Elvish either. Appear "careful and pious."

Then, he ran all the way to the Dusk Forest.

The wind and snow have passed, and the bright moon hangs high in the dusk forest.

Today is the day when the moon is at its roundest, probably the 16th day of the lunar calendar.

Alok shook his head slightly, throwing this thought out of his mind. Continue walking through the thick snow towards the center of the Dusk Forest.

He climbed up the big tree in the center of the dusk forest neatly, knocked on the familiar door, and whispered:

"Ariel. Are you there?"

"Who? This late at night?" Ariel's light voice sounded from inside the door.

She quietly opened the door a crack, looking cautious and like she was avoiding some danger.

"It's me, Alok. As a nocturnal elf, it should be daytime at night." Alok said with a smile, looking at the eyes exposed in the crack of the door.

"Huh~~ Scared me all day. Almost no one came to see me at night." Ariel seemed relieved and opened the door.

He waved his hand and said: "Come in. I heard from Danielle that there is something wrong with your astral body."

"Thanks."

Alok thanked him in a low voice, then walked into the room, sat on a wicker chair familiarly, and said:

"It seems you have heard. My astral body was injured due to the battle."

Ariel was wearing a long white dress with starlight and a thick fur collar around her neck. She seemed to be concentrating on painting. The picture showed a lake reflecting the starlight in the sky.

Elok poured a cup of hot tea and continued to ask:

"This is indeed the domain of artists. But I can't do this. My level is too low. You have to at least go to my sister, Ramiel. Or my mother, Mir."

"Repairing the astral body is a very advanced operation. The astral body is not easily injured. Moreover, the astral body is too mysterious. I am not yet in this field."

Ariel is quite generous. After all, there is still a lot of friendship between Ariel and Elokk. But Alok didn't ask Ariel to treat his illness this time.

She still can't cure it.

Alok coughed twice, sat up straight, and said with some embarrassment:

"I'm not asking you to treat me. I just want to ask you a question."

"What's the problem?" Ariel looked a little surprised.

Alok seemed a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, he said calmly:

"It's like this. Because of a previous battle. I had a high-level skill engraved on my celestial body. This caused the strength of my celestial body to be incompatible with this skill."

"At present, I can only rely on the protection of the Queen to increase the strength of my celestial body to ensure that I am not bloated to death. But after thinking about it, I feel that I can't always let the Queen protect a small minion like me. The Queen doesn't have so much time, right?"

"So, I was thinking, Ariel, do you have any activated items to increase the strength of the celestial body. Maybe it can solve my worries."

"Of course. It's not in vain." Alok smiled at Ariel, looking like a weird uncle who deceived the little girl.

Ariel looked at Alok with doubt. A face full of confusion. Replied:

"Strengthen the strength of the celestial body? How can I have such a thing. You don't think I have all the treasures because I have Sodaril's Star Fury?"

"Well~~~ Isn't it?" Alok asked with doubt. Cleverly flattered.

"Of course not, I won't fall for it." Ariel exposed Alok's plan on the spot.

Although the flattery was in a good position, it was a bit embarrassing to be seen through.

Alok took out a small object from Ir's pocket and put it on the table without hesitation.

It was an oil painting brush that looked like it was made of oak.

But in fact, as a third-level extraordinary item in the field of artists, it was the most desired thing for a painter.

The brush was very slender and quite exquisite. There were no carvings on the wooden handle, but the part between the pen head and the wooden handle was silver, engraved with gorgeous and complex alchemical patterns.

There were no active skills, but it had two passive skills, one of which was called the source of inspiration.

A third-level artist passive. But it can be applied repeatedly. Let your painting have a constant flow of inspiration.

The second passive is color mixing.

A third-level artist passive. This allows the painter to color without mixing colors.

Although Ariel can do it, since it can save time and effort, why not do it? ?

This is the spoils of the last battle. Ir "rescued" it from a display case.

Alok's seductive voice sounded: "A beautiful and clever elf like Ariel should have many artist friends in the Dark Moon Forest. This shouldn't be difficult."

Ariel glanced at Alok, picked up the paintbrush and couldn't let it go.

She played with it in her hand for a few times. Replied:

"Why don't you ask the Queen for help directly?"

"Well~~Didn't I ask for it? But there is no permanent solution." Alok shrugged and complained.

Ariel looked at Alok with some regret, and continued to remind:

"Such an extraordinary item, the Queen will certainly not give it to you for free."

"Ah? Then?" Alok was a little confused.

"You don't want it for nothing? I'll teach you a sacrifice ceremony. You can use the altar upstairs." Ariel stretched out his right hand and pointed upstairs.

Alok's temples throbbed, and he looked up.

Sacrifice ceremony?

But it sounds like a cult's blood and flesh sacrifice? ?

Can it be used like this?

Confused, he approached Ariel, waiting for her next words.
