The mysterious journey begins with becoming a pirate

February 1, 985 of the New Year.

Today is a day that will go down in history.

Throughout the history of the Hutt Empire, there is absolutely no day as incredible as today.

The Order Temple and the Extraordinary Events Committee have merged!!

In the field of the extraordinary, this is almost unimaginable to anyone.

This is too incredible and shocking.

In addition to the judgment hall exercising the power to execute cultists and pagans, the Temple has always played the role of a legislator. The law enforcement has always been handed over to the Extraordinary Affairs Committee.

And today, this convention was broken!!

When legislation and law enforcement are merged, the orderly Hutt Empire does not know how big a wave will rise.

Is this the beginning of the centralization of the Temple? ? Or the beginning of decline? ?

The extraordinary people of Damia do not know.

Maybe there will be more black skins in the future, and they will be more dangerous. You must be more careful.

However, for ordinary people living in the normal world, this is not important. Life is still life, war is still war, and price increase is still price increase.

The undercurrent is the extraordinary world.

In addition to those extraordinary people in the dark corners, there are also those black people who are not on good terms with each other.

A big review is going on. . .

A week ago, Monday.

Today is the day when Count Otto meets Pope Austin.

After bathing and changing clothes, he put on the most solemn dress, tied a bow tie, put on a wig and hat, carried a cane made of black walnut, sprayed men's cologne, and calmly walked into the carriage in front of the villa.

Professor Palmer followed behind him, with a fair and strict expression on his face, wearing a black dress.

Along the way, the two did not say a word, and what to do and what to say had already been discussed.

At noon, Count Otto and Professor Palmer came to the Temple of Order in the center of Kafka District.

The top of the towering church is the symbol of the scale of order.

Pigeons were flying in the wide square in front of the door, and the believers at mass would devoutly throw rice grains here.

The two tapped their chests four times at the same time, drawing the shape of a scale of order. Then they walked into the church hall.

They first prayed in the church and listened to God's teachings.

Then they followed the priest's steps to the back of the temple.

"His Holiness the Pope is waiting for you. Please follow me." The gray-haired priest said calmly while walking slowly in front.

His steps would not be confused at all, even in an urgent situation, he would land exactly as if he had obsessive-compulsive disorder.

There were some pits on the stone steps, which were footprints accumulated over the years.

Professor Palmer and Count Otto tapped their chests again, and followed the priest without saying a word.

The marble floor was covered with red stalls, embroidered with the justice pattern unique to the temple. The walls were painted with stories belonging to the gods. Praising the virtues of order.

Pope Austin was in front of the French window. He wanted to find all the loopholes in the law and fill them. He also wanted to create new laws to expand the scope of order.

He believed in order and was also the agent of order in the world.

Austin.

In the Hutt Empire, divine power meant order and law.

No matter what, he must uphold order and must not cross the line. Problems can only be solved with order, and order cannot be abandoned. If there is no order now, then create one.

This is the advantage of order, but also the defect of order.

The door was knocked three times, and after three seconds, the door was pushed open.

The two doors were slowly pushed open, and Count Otto and Professor Palmer walked in one after the other, one on the left and one on the right.

They walked to a position three meters away from Pope Austin, half-knelt down, put their right hands on their chests, and said in unison:

"May order last forever!"

Pope Austin took three steps forward and came in front of the two people. He tapped his chest four times with his hands. A beam of light shone in front of him, forming a scale composed of light points. He said majestically:

"May order last forever!"

At this point, Count Otto should have stood up with Professor Palmer and then continued to the next step.

But the two had already discussed it. Count Otto still knelt on the ground with his right hand on his chest, lowered his head, and said in a sad tone:

"I am guilty!! I came to listen to God's teachings... I hope to be punished by God!!"

Pope Austin's expression did not change at all, and he asked in a fair and majestic tone:

"Where is the sin?"

Count Otto lowered his head even more and continued:

"Desire blinded my eyes, sin made me fall into the abyss, and darkness made me lose my way."

"I am guilty, I ask for the baptism of God. Cleanse my soul. Point me in the right direction."

Austin stood in front of Count Otto, staring down at him. Looking at him, his tone became a little gentler, and he said:

"Desire will collapse in order, and sin will be exposed in order. Order is the only beacon in the darkness. Please speak out those sins. God will show you the way."

Count Otto suddenly raised his head, a painful expression on his face, and said:

"I saw my heart, which was full of desire for power. I am guilty!"

"I saw countless sins growing in front of me, but I was powerless. I wanted to escape. I am guilty!!"

"I am afraid in the darkness, afraid that the bullets hidden in the darkness will take my life and make me return to the side of order. I am afraid! I am guilty!!!"

Austin stood there, his hands spread out on both sides of his body, the sunlight reflected on him, looking so bright and upright, like the arrival of a god. He changed his tone again, becoming grand and majestic, and said:

"The pursuit of power is the rule of order, the courage to admit escape is the embodiment of courage, and facing your own fear is the ladder of progress."

"The glorious order will return to your body and mind. May order protect you!"

Pope Austin suddenly raised his head and looked at the noon sun, stretching out his hands to support the sky.

A ray of sunlight suddenly shone on Count Otto, and the bell of twelve o'clock at noon echoed in the air. The sky seemed to fall with golden feathers, and the light of justice of order fell on Count Otto and Professor Palmer.

When the bells ended, everything seemed to return to normal. Pope Austin lowered his head, gently stroked Count Otto's head with his right hand, and said comfortingly:

"Order will forgive you!! May order last forever!!"

Professor Palmer and Count Otto quickly put their hands on their chests according to the script, tears flowed from the corners of their eyes, and said with emotion:

"May order last forever!!"

Austin lowered his body, helped Count Otto and Professor Palmer up one by one, and said:

"What sins have you seen? Order will guide you."

Count Otto took out a small glass bottle from his pocket with trembling hands. There was a milky white light flashing in the glass bottle, and a memory was stored in it.

He slowly put the small glass bottle into Pope Austin's hands, with a heartbroken expression on his face.

Pope Austin took it solemnly, holding it in one hand, while supporting Count Otto with the other hand, and said:

"The light is ahead, don't be afraid of the darkness. Dawn will come. When the dawn breaks, all the pain and patience are worth it. You will taste the supreme sweetness in the world."

"The light of order will shine on the earth, and no sin can exist in order."

"Thank God for your teachings. I understand!" Count Otto bowed his head deeply.

Austin let Count Otto go, took two steps back, returned to the original position, waved his right hand gently, and said:

"Go, may order be with you."

"May order last forever!" Count Otto said deeply.

The pain on his face had disappeared, as if the church that exchanged Austin really comforted him.

He slowly retreated with Professor Palmer and left the room.

Until he went to the square, he still looked calm, no different from when he came.

I picked up some bread crumbs from the edge of the square and fed the pigeons, showing my love and relieving my nervousness.

"Let's go back. Now it's time to wait for the results!"
