The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Do you still remember the Fermont team?" Just when everyone was having a headache about what the three big pirates were thinking about on board, the chief waiter who was in charge of the cabin passengers' diet and daily life suddenly said.

The sudden inquiry prevented everyone from reacting. Everyone was recalling the Fermont team, and soon the boatswain remembered something, and said, "Is it the Fermont team that found the No. 19 file?"

"Yes, that's them." The head waiter nodded, and then said seriously, "They're on the boat."

Everyone's faces became serious, and they all felt that the target the three big pirates were staring at should be the holy object of the Lord of the Sky Church in the hands of the Fermont team.

After the Year of Fog Disaster, a large number of adventurers who sacrificed their lives for the buried treasures emerged in the whole world. Most of the adventurers were buried in those lost cities, but some adventurers became legends. Team Meng is such a team of adventurers.

The Fermont team is an adventurer team that has appeared in recent years. Its predecessor is also a legendary adventure team, the Flame Wolf. The reason for using this name is because the captain at that time owned a monster named Flame Wolf. Not only can it help them fight, but it can also help them find buried treasures, so some people say that the flame wolf is a wolf of wealth.

However, I don’t know why the Flame Wolf team suddenly had an accident during an expedition commission. Only three people in the entire team survived, and these three people who survived formed the current Fermont team. The previous battle of the Flame Wolf team Chief Femont Thomas was the captain of the squad.

In the next few years, the Fermont team stood out among many adventurer groups, and gained a lot of wealth time and time again by virtue of the treasure information inherited from the Flame Wolf team, and then became one of the best adventurer groups in the world of Velen. And they also used the money to recruit troops and recruit a large number of powerful teammates, whose strength was no less than that of ordinary church armed groups.

It's just that the reason why the Fermont team is as famous as it is now, and even people who have lived at sea all year round know their reputation, not because of their ability to find treasure, but because of their attitude towards the Church of the Lord of the Sky.

Among the requirements for the open recruitment of members, the Fermon team's condition is that they need believers who are not members of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and those who are hostile to the Church of the Lord of the Sky are given priority.

Afterwards, in countless treasure hunting operations, they have intentionally or unintentionally confronted the treasure hunting team entrusted by the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and even directly fought a few times.

Some people speculated that the reason why the Fermont team targeted the Church of the Lord of the Sky might be because the Church of the Lord of the Sky had a certain responsibility for the destruction of the Flame Wolf team. The location is exactly the mission location of the internal relic recovery armed team of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and the time of the two coincides exactly.

Neither the Church of the Lord of the Sky nor the Fermont team admitted to this speculation, but the two sides made a lot of tit-for-tat actions, and even killed and injured each other several times.

Although the casualties of the Church of the Lord of the Sky were hired adventurer groups, this has already affected the reputation of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and many members of the Fermont team are shamans, so the Church of the Lord of the Sky cannot Face them openly.

However, the following document incident on the 19th intensified this contradiction to the apex, causing the Church of the Lord of the Sky to directly issue a ban order, not allowing the Fermont team to resupply in any town controlled by the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and as long as their Members approaching these towns demanded that the town's church militia arrest them.

As for what File No. 19 is, no one knows, but it is only guessed that it may be a very important sacred object to the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and the Fermont team actually sold this sacred object to someone who is hostile to the Church of the Lord of the Sky. A wilderness tribe in China, if the shaman of that tribe performed some blasphemy rituals on this holy object, it would naturally arouse the extreme hatred of the Church of the Lord of the Sky.

However, although the Church of the Lord of the Sky issued the prohibition order, it did not have a great impact on the Fermont team, because the towns in the Mosang continent were not completely controlled by the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and Shamanism also controlled part of them. Shamanism's intimacy allows them to get enough supplies.

As for the Velen Continent, the Church of the Lord of the Sky has almost completely withdrawn from the Velen Continent back then, and the towns under its control are very few, and the one who really masters the belief in the Velen Continent is the Lady in the Lake. Although the two are the true gods of the Orthodox Church, the relationship seems very close In general, there is no plan to obey the prohibition order of the Church of the Lord of the Sky.

"I heard that the treasure hunting site chosen by the Fermont team this time is in the ruins of Miria." The head waiter said some things he had heard.

The captain guessed: "Is it the ruins of Miria? They should be heading for the holy relic of the Lord of the Sky."

In the year of the mist disaster, the Miria ruins also encountered thick fog invasion and monster attacks, but the Miria ruins themselves are a huge monster city, and all the mutated monsters entrenched there, although the monsters in the fog are powerful , but in the face of the huge group of monsters in this monster city, they were obviously not enough to see. Instead, they were swallowed by the monsters in Miria City, and after devouring the monsters in the fog, the monsters in Miria City also happened more Unpredictable variation.

Originally, the Bishop of the Sky would have a team of Salvationist believers there to treat those mutants who still retained their sanity. Among them, there were a large number of senior believers, and even bishop-level divinely favored ones, and they also mastered several pieces of sky. Relics and artifacts of the Lord.

When the mist disaster appeared, these people did not have time to escape, and all fell into the city of Miria, together with them fell the artifacts and holy objects of the Church of the Lord of the Sky.

The Church of the Lord of the Sky has also ruled out powerful church armed forces to go to the ruins of Miria to retrieve artifacts and holy objects, but the results all ended in failure.

The Fermont team also had no experience of hunting treasures in the Miria ruins, but its predecessor, the Flame Wolf team, was different. They had entered the Miria ruins three times and found some treasures lost in the city of Miria by the medical school. Mutant research data, so the Fermont team may have inherited relevant experience from the Flame Wolf team, and it may not necessarily gain something in the ruins of Miria.

Although they don't know what the Fermont team harvested, judging from the reflections of the three pirates, they must have received the exact news, knowing that the Fermont team has the relic of the Lord of the Sky obtained from the ruins of Miria, That's why they would not hesitate to risk being attacked by sea monsters and being hostile by the Kingdom of England to rob the Star of Hope. As long as they successfully snatched back the holy relic, they would definitely be able to regain the status of Bishop of the Sky.

Thinking of this, the people in the conference room couldn't help cursing, because their ship was accidentally involved in the conflict between Fei Meng's team and the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and the best thing they can do now is to send Fei Meng to the sky. Team Meng drove off the ship, but the reputation of Kraken Shipping would be ruined in this way, and their boss would definitely feed them to Kraken who made such a decision.

Although unwilling to be involved in this battle, the Fermont team is the guests on the ship after all, and the captain is unlikely to attack the guests, not to mention that even if they are handed over, the pirates may not let the ship go. Thinking of this, the captain Then he made a decision and said: "Since it is unavoidable, let's prepare for battle! Open the arsenal and distribute all the weapons. Except for the necessary technicians, everyone is temporarily included as a combatant." , he said to the navigator cautiously: "Go and blow the horn, hoping that there will be Kraken activities nearby."

The boatswain also suggested at this time: "We can tell the passengers when the pirates are coming, and let the passengers arm themselves and join our team. You must know that most of these passengers are adventurers with rich combat experience. Otherwise, they will only think that the pirates want to rob them of their wealth, and they will definitely be willing to fight side by side with us."

Although this approach seems to be using the passengers on the ship, it is also a good way to increase the combat power on the ship. No one in the conference room objected, and immediately sent someone to inform.

Just when everyone made a decision and organized the battle according to the plan, a sailor on the deck suddenly came to report that he had just rescued a person who had been in shipwreck and asked how to deal with him.

"Sea disaster?" Everyone was stunned after hearing this.

They wouldn’t be surprised if they heard that they had rescued people in shipwreck at other times. After all, the route between the Vinylon Continent and the Mozambique Continent is the busiest route, and it is also the route with frequent accidents. There are countless ships in shipwreck, and there are always The ship found some shipwrecked people here. Those who were lucky were still alive, and those who were unlucky had only a corpse left.

But the situation is different now. They have just received news that three pirate forces are preparing to rob the Star of Hope, and now a shipwrecked person has been discovered. This fact is too coincidental. I feel that this shipwrecked People may be spies sent by pirates.

"What are you thinking about so much? Just throw him back into the sea..." the bosun said impatiently.

The captain did not wait for the bosun to finish, he gave him a hard look, and scolded: "Shut up! Have you forgotten the rules of the sea? Do you wish that when you encounter a shipwreck, you encounter a ship and are caught again?" Have people thrown overboard?"

The boatswain said a little unconvinced: "But that guy might be a pirate's spy..."

"You also said it's only possible." The captain glared at his men, then fell silent for a moment, and said, "You guys make arrangements according to the original plan. I'll go and see the shipwrecked man."

After speaking, he let the sailor lead the way, quickly walked down the escalator, and walked towards the other end of the deck.

"Captain, he's too old-fashioned! Why are you talking about sea rules at this time." The bosun looked at the back of the captain leaving, and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Shut up, if you dare to say anything about the captain again, I'll beat you up." The chief of the engine room glared at the boatswain and said, "I was rescued by the captain at sea,"

"Me too."

"Me too."

Several people joined in one after another.

The bosun shrank his neck and said nothing more.

At this time, the captain had already come to a pile of sundries on the side of the deck, and saw several people sitting there, except for the sailor, there was another person holding a cup of hot water, drinking there quietly.

The first time he saw the man, the captain was sure that the man was definitely not a pirate's spy. Apart from the fact that the man's skin didn't have the rough skin of people who lived at sea, it was more of the man's skin. Temperament, that kind of temperament is more noble than those high-ranking nobles in the Kingdom of England that the captain saw. If those nobles stood with this person in front of him, the gap between the white clouds in the sky and the rotten mud on the ground Same.

Among the three major pirates, except for the sea witch who was born a little nobler, the other two were from the lowest class, and the people they made friends with were also from the bottom class. There would never be such a person with such a noble temperament as their subordinate, even if I am afraid that it is known to everyone, and it is definitely not suitable for being used as a spy.

"Could it be someone from the Church of the Lord of the Sky?" At this time, the captain couldn't help but wonder again, but he quickly denied this guess.

Because if the Church of the Lord of the Sky intervenes directly, even if the sacred objects in the hands of the Fermont team are taken away, the credit given to the three major pirates will not be great, at least not enough to allow them to regain their religious status, so They can only get full credit by doing it themselves.

And the more important point is that the Church of the Lord of the Sky may hire adventurer teams and other underground forces to do some shady things, but they will never cooperate with the notorious forces like pirates in public, because it concerns Glory to the Lord of the Sky.

After negating several possibilities one by one, the captain began to feel that the person in front of him was a real shipwreck, so he stepped forward to say hello, but after speaking, he involuntarily lowered his body, feeling like a servant Like, said: "Hello, I am Campa Birmingham, the captain of the Star of Hope, may I help you?"

"Hi, I'm Leo Dodd, a person who fell into the water by accident." The young man in front of him also responded, and raised the hot water in his hand, and said, "Your Excellency, you can ask someone to rescue me on the boat. And providing me with hot water is already the biggest help to me."

"Dude?" After hearing the young man's self-introduction, the captain couldn't help being stunned, and asked tentatively, "Who are you and the Dodd family..."

"What Dodd family?" The young man asked back.

The captain didn't explain anything, but just regarded the person in front of him as a person with the same surname, and ordered the attendant next to him to arrange an upper-class cabin for the other person, so that the other person could stay in peace, and then he would talk about other things when he returned to the shore, then turned and left .
