Mystery: Start with the Reader

At 9:40 pm on Saturday, the sailing ship "Trident" dropped its anchor in the shadow of a large underwater rock and stopped.

Not far from the rock, there is a steel ruin. They have completely collapsed and decayed. However, it can be seen that it must have been quite large before, but it has shrunk a lot now.

Standing on the deck, "Secret Master" Stewart looked at the ruins that were so badly embroidered that it was impossible to imagine their original appearance, and suddenly felt the urge to sing a poem to suit the occasion.

——When the "Trident" sails under the sea, the entire hull will be wrapped in a transparent curtain, so there is no seawater pouring into the deck.

Stewart will appear on the "Trident" because, in addition to his official identity as "Senior Deacon", he is also a member of another elite team of the Church of Storms, the secret team "The Deep Divers" who cannot see the light of day. One member.

As for the excuse of going to Dixi Bay for vacation with Mrs. Felina, it was just an excuse to use the other party as a cover... He had actually changed his appearance long ago and joined this secret mission.

At this time, a tall young man wearing a white shirt, a brown vest, and a double-breasted black coat walked over to Stewart. He wore a tall black top hat, which radiated dazzlingly in the dark water. .

"What are you looking at?" the man asked with a smile.

He is Stewart's good friend, named Gawelburn, a Sequence 5 "Priest of Light".

——Because the "Deep Divers" are a secret force that always performs shady missions, all members are not "sailors".

"It's nothing. I just saw the remnants of a strange civilization and inexplicably wanted to sing poems, but I couldn't find a suitable one for a while." For his friends, Stewart didn't need to hide his thoughts and told the truth.

"I thought you were thinking about Ms. Felina..." After Welburn teased, he also looked at the ruins, and then said with a smile, "I think I can understand your state of mind. According to Rose According to the Emperor Er, this should be called "Wu Ai".

"Haha, when you were in the choir, you were the best one... So, do you want to just compose a poem and sing it?"

"I'm just good at singing, but I can't write songs..." Stewart complained and changed the subject, "Why did Mr. Drake let the Trident be anchored here? There is no need to continue to search for the Fusac Captive Sea Do you know the location of the strange cave?"

"I was about to tell you this... According to Mr. Drake, he already knows which area the cave is in, but a ceremony is still needed to confirm it.

"The ceremony requires a certain amount of time and cannot be disturbed, so we parked behind this relatively hidden rock." After Welburn finished speaking, he handed over a bottle of Sunia blood wine and continued, "This is for you. But it’s high-end goods, I’ve been collecting them for a long time.”

Stewart took the bottle, glanced at his friend, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you not confident in this mission?"

Welborn himself took out another bottle of Sunia blood wine, took a sip and said: "It's obvious, isn't it? We have no plan to retreat at all...

“But the mission should be completed, but I don’t know how many of us will survive...

"I think you are the most promising. After all, the 'Secret Master' has many methods and can deal with various situations."

Hearing this, Stewart sighed silently. He just looked at those ruins, not only in "mourning", but also in silence for himself. After all, as his friend said, since Fusac did not fall into the trap, this mission It's already very dangerous.

It was so dangerous that Stewart doubted whether it was worth exchanging the lives of so many elites and the attached fleet for a sea monster.

And he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he had the same feeling as when he was in Tingen City, suspecting that someone was behind all this.

And Mr. Drake, the commander-in-chief of this operation, is one of his biggest targets of suspicion.

"It's a pity, there's not enough time..." Stewart just sighed when he saw his friend's face suddenly turned red, and then he coughed violently. He was out of breath and wanted to give himself a " "Holy Light" can't do it.

Is this... a "disease" on a mystical level? Stewart immediately identified the source of "Priest of Light" Welburn's symptoms, and then discovered that he also made some noise when breathing.

This guy Welburn got sick faster because he drank alcohol and his blood circulation accelerated!

Thinking of this, Stewart immediately simulated the ability of a "doctor" while his condition was not serious yet, and began to treat himself.

But he soon discovered that the effect was not very good... In other words, it could only delay the onset of the disease, but could not eradicate it... So he turned into a "potion professor" and used the items he carried with him to quickly prepare the right medicine. The medicine comes.

“Did a witch sneak into the ship?

"Why didn't the Trident's barrier sound a warning?

"Why hasn't Mr. Drake responded yet?"

Stewart endured the increasingly serious illness and thought while preparing the medicine.

At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the direction of the captain's cabin, followed by a giant creature with two gray leather-covered wings on its back, thicker limbs, and complex and three-dimensional mysterious symbols engraved on its surface. The dragon appeared in Stewart's sight, which scared him so much that he quickly averted his eyes and used secret techniques to make a paper man substitute, allowing it to bear the pollution from "divineness" on his behalf.

But even so, one of Stewart's eyes exploded on the spot, and a large amount of blood spurted out, splashing all over his friend.

Fortunately, he is also proficient in "flesh magic" and has developed several "secret techniques" for limb recovery, which can grow back in just a few weeks.

Woo!

The violent wind sound emerged around the gray-white dragon, which seemed to come from reality, but also seemed to come from illusion.

With some will, they blew in all directions. All creatures involved in them would inevitably appear in various abnormal states and become ugly...

But correspondingly, the "disease" that permeated the ship was temporarily suppressed.

Has Mr. Drake finally taken action? As soon as this thought crossed Stewart's mind, he saw three ladies standing out of thin air on the other side of the boat. One of them was feminine and dreamy, one was bright and a little lazy, and the other was elegant but charming.

Although each has its own merits, both of them are existences that make people's blood rush...

"Three...demigod witches?" Seeing this scene, Stewart couldn't help but become sluggish, and even forgot to drink the newly prepared potion.

…

The three witches who attacked the Trident were naturally the work of Abner and Klein.

One of them summoned the "Despair Nightingale" with a homemade emblem, and the other released the demigod succubus sent by the "Mother Tree of Desire" in "Creeping Hunger".

The last one is the historical projection of the "Blue Saint" pulled out by "ancient scholar" Daphne.

They originally planned to quietly control the "Trident" and then drive the ship to attack the sea monster cave, making the members of the "Twilight Hermits" on Fusac's side feel that everything was still happening according to the "script".

This was also part of Klein's plan, so he asked Arrods where the "Trident" would be anchored.

As for why they got three witches to take action... they didn't plan to kill the secret team of the Church of Storms, so someone had to take the blame, right? !

But what they didn't expect was that the "operator" on the "Trident" was already under control, but he suddenly broke through Abner's "hint" to him and regained his "self" , and immediately transformed into a dragon, completely ignoring the lives of other members on the ship.

If Abner hadn't secretly "filtered" out some of the contamination of the "mythical creature form", Stewart wouldn't have simply blown out an eye!
