Start with the Readers Chapter 894: Admiral’s decision
Monday, March 28.
After many days of sailing, the fleet that Abner was in finally arrived at a small island in a hidden sea area west of the southern continent under the guidance of "Vice Admiral Deep Sea".
Originally, if they took the normal route, it would not take more than ten days, but after all, their business is doing shady business, so they have long deviated from the "Roselle Waterway", facing the harsh environment in the violent sea It took several times of detour to reach the hidden island.
"It seems that the ships transporting slaves also took this route... Hey, I don't know how many people died on the road. No wonder the Deleon family hasn't gathered enough people for the festival in a year. I'm afraid the loss is far greater than the safety. Arrived!
"Damn it!
"I don't know what happened to Miss Gwen's uncle... It's a pity that his group was smuggled away before I arrived in Ithaca Island. Miss Gwen got fake news from the beginning to the end , just to trick her into an ambush...
"Otherwise, I will definitely help her rescue her first."
Abner, who had just participated in the Tarot Club, stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the small island that had come into view, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Speaking of which, the last few Tarot Clubs have not had many things worth paying attention to. Miss "Justice" is still completing the task of "Psychological Alchemist" while inquiring about the location of "Queen of Calamity";
Miss "Magician" is still traveling with the circus, and has just entered Loen's territory;
Miss "Judgment" has completely digested the "Judge" potion, and bought the "Retribution Knight" attribute in Jane's hand through Abner, just waiting for the military's application for "ceremony" to be approved. The promotion can be completed;
Miss Temperance's promotion to demigod ceremony has not yet been completed;
Ms. "Hermit" stays outside the other members as before, mostly observing and rarely speaking;
The "sun" is following the chief to go out to explore the road to the royal court, and there are not many discoveries yet;
Mr. "Moon" showed off his superiority at the party again, because he felt that he had digested part of the "Professor Potions" before he put much effort into it, but according to "World"'s guess, this should be because he often In the Harvest Church, he taught herbalism to common believers who were willing to learn, and even some special-purpose potion combinations.
In addition to collecting dolls, studying history, and volunteering at churches, he also likes to ponder over various potions for use in different battle scenes, so the digestion progress is so impressive.
There is nothing special about "World" Klein, except for hearing that from time to time he killed a pirate and took it for a bounty. Only Abner knows that he spends most of his time sweeping the floor and cleaning the toilet... ...
Mr. "The Hanged Man" relied on providing information, support, and selling stolen goods to the "world", and finally collected enough money by relying on the rewards he received, and bought the "Three-Eyed Thunder" from Miss "Magician". The eyeball on the forehead of the bird", and found the two main ingredients needed for the "Ocean Singer" potion... Unfortunately, the "Obunis" sea monster needed for the ceremony has not yet been found.
Although Abner knew the approximate location of the one in the original book, it was a few months later, and the sea monster was not motionless, so there was no reference at all.
When Abner reviewed the Tarot Society, the military ship had already sailed into the pier and leaned against a simple trestle bridge.
Abner came back to his senses, and was greeted by the left-behind staff, and entered a manor with a simple appearance but quite luxurious interior decoration.
As soon as he settled down, Abner's "Owen" avatar proposed to take a look at the slaves that had been transported over time.
This request is not abrupt. After all, Owen was sent to supervise the normal completion of the ceremony, and it is only natural to ensure that there are no problems with the "sacrifice".
So soon, under the guidance of the left behind personnel, he entered an isolated area deep in the island.
Ebner originally thought that the slaves who were trafficked here would be kept in captivity like livestock, with only the lowest standard of living, and unbearable tragedies everywhere...
But the reality is quite different!
As soon as he entered, he saw a town with a very bright surface.
The city is bustling with people, and the stream is endless; there are many shops on the street, rich in supplies; there are many restaurants with smoke from cooking, and the smell is tangy...
At first glance, apart from the smaller scale, there is no difference between this town and the bustling business districts of big cities such as Backlund.
But soon, Abner realized something was wrong, because some people in the city didn't pay the bills when shopping, they just took them directly, and even punched and kicked the salesperson, wantonly insulting them! Seeing a woman who is pleasing to the eye is even taking off her clothes in the street to satisfy the most primitive impulse...
The party who was robbed and violated obviously gritted his teeth, mad with hatred, but silently endured it as if accepting his fate.
Seeing what happened in front of him, Abner frowned and looked at the manager beside him.
He didn't know anything about the situation here before, and he didn't understand why these "sacrifices" lived like this.
The manager knew what the Excellency in front of him wanted to ask. After all, people who saw this situation for the first time could not help but wonder, so he quickly explained:
"This is the rule of the island town 'Happy Town'...we provide every slave who arrives here with everything, gorgeous clothes, comfortable houses, exquisite food...except killing people, so that they can live here Do whatever you want!
"However, there is a premise that everyone must serve others for a week before enjoying it, and then exchange for a week of 'happiness'!
"During the 'serving' period, you need to ask for anything from others, and you cannot resist, otherwise you will lose an opportunity to 'enjoy'.
"This is both the Lord's heaven and hell."
So that's the case... But this is "Happy Town"... This is clearly "City of Desire" and "City of Demons"!
Gu Kai
"Servants" endure pain, hide deep hatred, and curse "happy people"; and after they become "happy people", they must vent everything they have suffered on the rotating "servants"...
In this way, the cycle of "indulging" desire, releasing "maliciousness", enduring "pain" and "cursing" others...
It seems that I guessed correctly, this is the sacrifice needed to cultivate a qualified "Shadow World", right? Behind the so-called "Deep Sea Ceremony", is it really to use the sea monsters that once carried the brand of source quality to communicate with the "Shadow World"?
Heh, but apart from these slaves who came to the combination of heaven and hell, the administrators here are probably also part of the "sacrifices"... Playing with people's hearts and manipulating desires are also the characteristics of "Shadow World", without them , the ceremony must be incomplete.
Thinking of this, Abner glanced at the administrator who was still eloquently talking about everything here, and shook his head secretly, thinking that this idiot probably didn't know the fate he was about to usher in.
However, killing is prohibited here... Well, if you can kill people, the number of sacrifices will drop sharply, which is understandable... But "killing" is also a kind of desire, and it should not be conducive to the so-called "ceremony". Yes...
Wait... the pirates under the command of "Vice Admiral Deep Sea" and the navy soldiers I brought! It turns out that they are also "sacrifices"!
That's right, with so many people witnessing this "Sacrifice Ceremony", it may be very difficult to keep it secret... But after so many years, only a little information has been released from the outside world... Heh, probably except for "Vice Admiral of the Deep Sea" A few people, such as supervisors like me, have become part of the ceremony, right?
Even if this is really the last "Deep Sea Ritual"...then I and "Deep Sea Vice Admiral" may also be "sacrifices"...
No wonder Hal would take the risk of going against the sea monster, trying to attract the power behind Gwen, Lydia and Tran... Does he have a premonition of danger?
Also, although the prime minister is really busy recently, it seems normal that he cannot come to preside over the ceremony... But think about it carefully, as the prime minister, when will he be free? Why did it work in the past but not this time?
Is he selling Owen?
Could it be that he felt that the ceremony lacked "lust" and pushed Owen up? Or did the collusion between Owen and George III touch his bottom line?
Heh, if I'm really Owen, I'm afraid I won't find out until the last moment, right?
Through his thoughts, Abner suddenly felt that his previous preparations were not safe. After all, if this was really the last "Deep Sea Ceremony", he might be watching the big guys behind the incident... For example, the "blood donation" Grand Duke", such as "Mother Tree of Desire", will have other means!
As for his previous preparations, he made an appointment with Closphia, Helen, and Karen who visited the "Black Throne" before...
But now it seems that these preparations are not enough... At least there must be angels to support the scene!
But I don't know many angels, who should I find, and how can I impress them?
Should I go directly to the mother **** or goddess for help?
It’s not impossible... Although I found that this island is shrouded in some kind of power after entering this island, it should be cut off from the way of contacting the true God through prayer...
But it's nothing, I can rely on Mr. "Fool" to "jump the wall" to transfer!
While planning in his mind, Abner continued to wander around the city with the manager.
He found that the supporting services in this city are more complete than he imagined. Among them are teachers who teach etiquette, makeup, and manners, and can transform a sloppy slave girl into a decent "slave" in a few days. Noble" lady;
There are predecessors here who teach all kinds of literature, painting, and music knowledge, and they also teach those who are eager to learn;
In short, there are many types of teachers, which are comparable to those of comprehensive universities, and even more complete!
"Human desires are also diverse. There are always people who don't like women, don't like to have fun, and don't like to vent...so we will satisfy their spiritual desires." The manager added with a smile.
This is really... Abner suddenly felt that this was absurd, because he found that this group of demons and heretics, in terms of education, were actually better than the main cities of the four major countries in the Northern Continent... After all They are willing to invest, and completely obey the desires and preferences of the educated...
Yes, Abner has already seen the essence of those teachers. They are actually the dependents of the "sea monster", and they have long become "heterogeneous", just wearing a piece of human skin... However, As human beings, they are probably experts in their respective fields.
"This is not so much a teacher, but rather a 'sacrifice' of sea monsters... While teaching knowledge, they are also guiding those who are not dominated by physical desires to give their faith to sea monsters... Really Insidious!"
Abner was speechless secretly, but on the surface he agreed with the administrator, and then they walked and watched, and soon discovered the latest batch of "slaves" who had entered the town ~IndoMTL.com~ Since the ceremony was imminent, they were already too late Going to "pleasure" or "serve" and therefore kept in solitary confinement, constantly fearful of "servants" and jealous of "happy ones".
This state also meets the requirements of the ceremony.
Abner scanned around, and soon found Miss Gwen's uncle. Because he was educated, he was not as numb as the surroundings, but he was still shocked by what happened on the island, and his emotions were very complicated...
Because Abner and Gwen made an agreement when they were on the "Black Throne" and promised her to inquire about the news of her uncle's slaves, so at this moment Abner quietly invaded the other party with a virtual personality Mind, always monitor, in order to avoid accidents.
After finishing these, he stopped visiting and returned to the manor by the sea accompanied by the manager.
…
At the same time, after struggling violently, "Vice Admiral of the Deep Sea" Hal Constantine finally made up his mind and read out the esteemed name left by the mysterious man:
"The unknown place connected by the pure white eyes..."
