Chapter 408: Dream Trap
Conquer the northern shore of the sea, Navaha.
In the evening in Navaha, in a dim hut somewhere, a woman named Xia sat upright in her seat, commenting seriously on a series of abnormal actions of the church fleet after it arrived in Navaha. Her eyes were full of vigilance and worry about these uninvited guests.
The sudden visit of the church fleet made her feel uneasy. Although on the surface it seemed that the fleet came only for mundane matters such as sending refugees, various signs showed that things might not be that simple.
"Um... Madam, you are right. Yesterday afternoon, this church fleet did have some unusual movements at the port. It is possible that the Navaha are involved in more than just mundane affairs. But in my opinion, even if their purpose of this trip includes secret affairs, it should not be targeting us.
"As far as I know, the people coming from the church this time are military forces like the Holy Sacrament Knights, not the investigators from the Inquisition. Their mission is to escort and they really have a special passenger ship with them. If they came here specifically to investigate, it shouldn't be this kind of scene, so I don't think they are coming for us. Although there were some hidden secrets in the port yesterday afternoon, they may really be conducting some secret affairs there, but I don't think it has much to do with us."
Standing in front of Cicia, a man named Gomez expressed his opinion. Unlike the suspicious Cicia, he believed that the sudden arrival of the church this time had nothing to do with his side, and the sudden noise at the port might just be some kind of accident.
"You are too reckless, Gomez. In any case, since the church's operation in Navaha involves secrecy, we must not take it lightly. Although the people here are not investigators, we cannot assume that they are completely unaware of us. What if this is a cover-up?
"I got the news a while ago that the church members specially arranged people to search the coastline and the city this morning and afternoon. It seems that they are looking for something... The behavior of this group of glowing charlatans is becoming more and more suspicious. Before we fall into a passive position, we must make some preparations and be prepared to protect the 'chrysalis' in the worst case scenario."
With a serious look, Cialis said to Gomez, her tone revealed her dissatisfaction with Gomez's reckless attitude just now. After Gomez heard Cialis say that the church had launched a substantial search operation during the day, his brows could not help but frowned slightly.
"Are they really looking for something? Hmm... In that case, we must pay more attention to it. However, Ms. Xixia, I don't think it's time to make such preparations yet. At least... at least until we are sure that these Glorious Gods are a threat to us, we don't actually need to make any big moves."
Gomez continued to speak to Cialis. After listening to Gomez's words, Cialis looked at him and then spoke slowly.
"So, what are you going to do, Gomez?"
“Ma’am, what I mean is that we can send people to enter the dreams of those glowing charlatans and find out through the dreams what their real intentions are for coming to Navaha. If these guys are really coming for us, we can deal with them immediately. If they are not targeting us, we don’t have to waste our energy.
"Now the power of the 'pupa' has grown to the point where it can support us to use the dream trap ability. No one will lie in a dream, and given the nature of the dream entry, even those charlatans will find it difficult to find any traces."
Gomez told Cialis about his plan. After listening to Gomez's words, Cialis thought for a while and then spoke again.
"What you said...does make sense, but there is one problem...in order to activate the dream trap ability, you must be near the dreamer. Now those charlatans are hiding in the port, and the security is very strict. It is very difficult to get close to them. How can we use the dream trap without being detected?"
"This is actually very simple, ma'am. Although the port is heavily guarded, those guys don't stay there all day. Many of them will also wander around the area. We can take advantage of this opportunity to make our move."
Gomez continued to talk to Cialis, and after hearing what Gomez said, Cialis immediately responded.
"I know they will come out... But it's always during the day. During the day, there is no basis for sleepiness, so the dream trap is not very useful. At night, they will be on the ship at the port again."
"No, no, no, Ms. Xixia, they are not all on the boat at night. As far as I know, there is a place that will attract a group of charlatans even at night. A small part of them will even stay there until late. This is the opportunity for us to take action."
Gomez said this with a slight smile, and after hearing his words, Cialis couldn't help but speak out of curiosity.
"What place do you mean?"
…
Time passed quickly, and soon the faint light in the sky dimmed, and darkness fell completely on Navaha.
After dinner time, the seaside town, which did not have many entertainment venues, quickly became quiet. Many residents went to bed early, and the lights scattered throughout the city gradually went out.
Late at night, apart from some suburbs where workers were working overnight, the most popular place in the entire Navaha was the Navaha Church.
Like other cities of this size, the church in Navaha is neither big nor luxurious. It is a simple and ordinary church, just enough for the citizens to use.
Late at night, somewhere near the center of Navaha, the door of the church in Navaha City was still wide open, all the lights in the church were turned on, and solemn religious songs played by special instruments came out of the church, accompanied by pious prayers.
Even at this time in the middle of the night, this ordinary church still continued to perform its function. In the past, the church door would have been closed at this time, and the current situation occurred because the church fleet was docked at Navaha Port at this time.
This fleet is a pilgrimage fleet. On board are many ardent believers with firm faith. These believers from all over the world strictly follow the rules to carry out various religious activities every day, among which evening prayer is an important part.
For these ardent believers, prayer at various times of the day is absolutely important. Although the church's scriptures do not specify the exact place for prayer, for the devout, if there is a church nearby, it is best to pray in the church.
Therefore, ever since the church's fleet docked at the port of Navaha, the port of Navaha has been flooded with pilgrims from the fleet. After a long sea journey, they would not miss the opportunity to carry out religious activities in a formal church. The city of Navaha and the church were also forced to extend their development time because of them, such as the present.
Late at night, there were countless pilgrims of all kinds sitting in the church, praying in the evening. Among them were rich people in bright clothes, ragged ascetics, and ordinary priests and nuns. Vanya was among them.
