Chapter 611: How to Find Prey (ask for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month) The "dong dong dong" sound only lasted three times before it turned into a loud bang. As the wooden door flew back, the light from the kerosene wall lamp in the corridor shone into the dark, weed-covered area, and red flames surged in. In Lugano's eyes, the illusory huge oak tree suddenly disappeared, and Father Monserrate, who was holding the invisible baby, also disappeared. Under the erosion of flames and light, the weeds faded, the darkness receded, and Lugano "returned" to the simple prayer room sprinkled with crimson moonlight. Lumian, wearing a golden straw hat, appeared at the doorway that no longer had a door. He glanced at every corner inside, but did not see any sign of Father Monserrate. "It's similar to the Extraordinary ability of the 'Otherworld'. While it's not independent enough from reality, it has integrated some other characteristics... It's a bit like the 'Devil Wizard' Bulman forcibly changing his path to gain special abilities... Where is he hiding now? According to the knowledge Ludwig got from food, the Extraordinary people of the School of God's Advent can hide in wooden products to conceal themselves. Although it's not certain whether Father Monserrate was bewitched by the School of God's Advent and became corrupted, he was obviously influenced by the 'Great Mother'..." Lumian quickly assessed the current situation. Lumian was not surprised at all that Father Monserrate ran away and hid without any resistance or fighting: He performed the wave magic in the ship bar just for fun and because he didn't want to waste his time-limited authority as the "Governor of the Sea." But his subsequent "greeting" of Captain Pedro and Father Monserrate with huge waves was not just to show off and appreciate other people's shock and astonishment. As he was unsure whether the incident of the School of God's Descent had ended here and whether there were any "Great Mother" believers hidden on the ship, he deliberately displayed the demigod-level power of the "Governor of the Sea" in order to intimidate! If there are no other "Great Mother" believers and no other dangers lurking, then treat the "greeting" as a show-off. If there are, let the dangerous elements be wary of the existence of the demigod, hide deeper, and do not make any attempts until the ship arrives at the next port, where they will be dealt with by the official forces of the "Mother Earth" Church. Now, Father Monserrate obviously did not dare to fight head-on with the great adventurer Louis Berry who possessed the power of a demigod, and chose to hide directly and wait for the ship to dock!

——If Lugano hadn't been unlucky or too lucky to have bumped into the priest holding the invisible baby, Monserrate would most likely have continued to play the role of a competent clergyman of the "Mother Earth" Church and not caused big trouble for Louis Berry. "Father, Father Monserrate is a believer of the 'Great Mother'! He was holding an invisible baby just now!" After making sure that he had returned to reality, back to the prayer room, and his employer was right in front of him, Lugano hurriedly described the details. Holding an invisible baby... possibly hiding in some woodwork... Lumian's eyes swept across the chairs in the prayer room, the floor, and the Holy Symbol of Life engraved on the wooden surface of the wall. Suddenly, he had an idea and walked towards the holy emblem representing the "Mother Earth Goddess". The edges of the holy emblem are decorated with symbols such as wheat ears, flowers, and springs, and the core is a baby drawn with simple strokes. baby! The red flames continued to spread inward as Lumian moved forward, igniting the wooden floor and the chairs. Lumian stopped in front of the Holy Symbol of Life, stretched out his right hand, and gently touched the face of the stick-drawn baby. The wood there suddenly rotted and yellow pus oozed out. It looked as if the baby, surrounded by ears of wheat and flowers, had already rotted and shed tears of blood. The Church of the “Mother Earth Goddess” has a lot of problems... Lumian narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he did not find the hidden Father Monserrate, he discovered that beneath the glamour of the Church of the "Mother Earth" there was corruption and darkness. Seeing that all the wooden products here were burned out, Father Monserrate was nowhere to be seen, and there were more wooden products on this iron and steel steam ship, Lumian turned around and said to Lugano: "Take me to the captain's cabin." "Okay." Lugano was visibly relieved. As the two left the prayer room, the red flames inside quickly died out and no longer spread. In the captain's room, Pedro, who had a handsome brown beard, saw the great adventurer Louis Berry coming to him in person, and he suddenly felt a headache. With his considerable experience, he clearly guessed that there might be a big trouble on the ship: In the incident of the School of God's Advent, the great adventurer Louis Berry did not even stay at the scene, but only sent a servant to report the situation. But now, he came to visit in person! What does this mean? This means there is a more serious problem!

"Father Monserrate has fallen and believes in evil gods." Without waiting for the captain to ask, Lumian said in a calm voice, "He is likely an accomplice of the evil wizard of the 'School of the Advent of God'." Captain Pedro's head seemed to be hit by a stick, buzzing and briefly blank. After a few seconds, he asked cautiously: "You have killed him?" "Not yet." Lumian said truthfully, "He escaped from the prayer room and hid himself. Send a telegram immediately and report this matter to the Church of the Earth Mother and the Feynaport government. My servant will tell you more details." Faced with Louis Berry's imperative request, Captain Pedro did not resist at all and turned his eyes to Lugano, listening to him talk about his conversion, Father Monserrate's own statement and the invisible baby in his arms. After listening, Pedro said with a bitter face: "I thought there was something wrong with Father Monserrate, but I didn't expect it to be such a serious problem." "What's the problem?" Lumian asked. Pedro sighed and said: "He is a charismatic person, that is, an extraordinary person of the 'Earth' path, the most orthodox clergy. Under normal circumstances, he must be assisted by a charismatic person in order to hold mass, preach to believers, and lead others to join the church, but not vice versa. However, this time on the ship, he is the only charismatic person, and no other charismatic person followed him. "I thought it was the sea prayer ceremony that caused the church to be short-staffed in Santa Port, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Who knew that Father Monserrate would become corrupt..." You must have the assistance of a favored person to hold a mass and preach to the believers... There is no favored person with you this time... I heard before that the orders and decisions issued by the favored people of the "Mother Earth Goddess" Church must be countersigned by at least one favored person to be valid, otherwise it will be regarded as the product of the evil gods and the devil's bewitching... evil gods... the "Great Mother"? This... Combining the events of the past few days and the knowledge he had acquired before, Lumian suddenly figured out why the "Mother Earth Goddess" Church had two major systems, the favored people and the favored people, instead of merging them together: Ms. Magician from the Apprentice Path said that she was sometimes influenced by that Heavenly Master and was not sure whether what she got was a revelation from Mr. Fool. Just like "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" who stands at the top of the three paths of "Apprentice", "Fortune Teller" and "Thief", "Great Mother" should also be the existence that looks down on the paths of "Farmer", "Pharmacist" and "Villain". Therefore, as the God-favored ones, the extraordinary ones on the two paths of "tillage worker" and "pharmacist" will also be affected by the "Great Mother". They cannot tell whether the revelations they receive come from the "Mother Earth" or the "Great Mother". They must be confirmed by the God-favored ones who are not on these two paths. At the same time, the God-favored ones are also monitoring the status of the God-favored ones! So that's how it is... As expected, there are very profound and serious reasons behind this seemingly absurd, wasteful, and irrational system design... Lumian said to Captain Pedro without saying anything more: "Send a telegram." After the captain reported Father Monserrate's situation to the Fenaport government and the Church of Mother Earth, Lumian began to think about how to find out the problem with Father Monserrate. Unless the other party has the ability to "teleport" or is good at underwater activities, he will not be able to escape from the ship in this vast ocean and can only hide in a corner. Lumian didn't plan to ask the Major Arcana for help with such a small matter, so he decided to find a solution himself: “Using the loudspeaker on the ship, insulting the ‘Great Mother’, provoking Father Monserrate to make him jump out on his own? "If you can't lock onto a target, it's difficult to use the 'provoke' capability in a targeted manner, and the effect may not be good... "Burn all the wood products on the ship? This is the last option. After all, many cargo boxes are made of wood... "Borrow a bottle of 'prophecy potion' from Franka? This requires a fresh corpse. Besides, since we're already asking Franka, we can just ask her to use the 'magic mirror to divine'... "Playing the 'Hateful Movement' bone flute, asking the passengers to plug their ears in advance? But this only reduces the damage, not eliminates the impact... “Well, ask Ludwig if he remembers Father Monserrate’s scent… "And...yes, you can give this a try too!" Lumian quickly came up with several plans and decided to try them one by one before asking for help. He said goodbye to the captain and took Lugano back to the first-class suite in the dark night. "Do you remember the aura of Father Monserrate?" Lumian asked Ludwig. Ludwig shook his head:

“There was no direct contact.” "Okay." Lumian turned around and said to Lugano with a smile, "I'm going to do an experiment, please cooperate with me." "What experiment?" Lugano suddenly became frightened. Lumian pointed out the window: "Go up on the deck. It's more open there." Lugano nervously went down to the deck shrouded in crimson moonlight, and saw his employer pull out a silver-white full-body armor from the "traveler's bag", and then gave him an ambiguous smile. Lumian remembered that the description of the "Arrogant Armor" mentioned that it particularly hated items from the "Earth" and "Night" paths. What if it’s not an object, but a corresponding Beyonder? How will it react? Would it be possible for it to use this hatred to directly target Father Monserrate, who is at least a "doctor", from a certain distance? Lumian was not sure about this, and planned to experiment on Lugano, who was also a Beyonder of the "Earth" Path. PS: There will be an update at 7pm.
