Chapter 136 Detective and the Ghost Society
Kingdom of the Golden Lion, Northern Province, Granite Port.
A two-masted sailing ship was sailing into the harbor with surging blue waves, and a granite lighthouse stood tall.
The sea breeze blew up Yeats's cloak, and he and Gray looked at the town that was getting closer and closer, thinking to themselves.
Granite Port, also known as "Silver City", has buildings mostly built with granite. In the sun, the mica in the granite makes the buildings glow silver, which is quite impressive.
Wilson Brown walked up to Yeats and glanced secretly at the silver-haired boy.
During these days of sailing, Yeats was either alone in the cabin or reading on the deck in the sun.
Wilson had been practicing Bull Breathing for many years and was keenly aware that Yeats's mastery of the technique was improving day by day.
Wilson was secretly shocked by this speed of improvement.
Wilson was even more puzzled by the fact that Yeats had been promoted from a mortal to a two-ring knight in just half a year.
During the voyage, Wilson intentionally or unintentionally asked Fokasse why Yeats had changed so much compared to the past.
Fokase explained that this might be because the young master had awakened a new talent and had taken Candela as his disciple.
Suddenly.
Wilson's heart was in turmoil.
What kind of person is Candela?
The leading figure in the wizard world is still alive, and all the world-renowned universities are vying to build statues for him!
It is said that more than 20 years ago, in a border city in the east of the Divine Court Empire, a genius sorcerer opened the passage between the Kingdom of Shadows and the Middle Court Continent. Countless shadow beasts, led by the Shadow Prince, rushed towards the Middle Court Continent.
At that time, Kendela was just an ordinary member of the Mage Guild. When the army of shadow beasts attacked, Kendela guarded the city alone. He not only repelled the shadow beasts, but also severely damaged the Shadow Prince who appeared in the form of an incarnation.
The Shadow Prince is weakened by the laws of the material plane, and although he does not have the might of the Sanctuary, he still has the oppressive feeling of a demigod.
Kendela severely injured the demigod with his mortal body, and then led the guild mages to seal the transmission channel.
After this battle, Candela became famous throughout the continent with his strength as a six-ring master.
For the next twenty years, Kendara traveled around the Midgard continent, occasionally being commissioned by the royal family to eliminate threats, but he never actually served any kingdom.
This kind of person actually accepted his younger brother as his apprentice? !
Wilson was incredulous.
Could it be that he saw something brilliant in Yeats? This was impossible! How could Yeats's magical talent catch the eye of Candela? At this moment, Wilson looked at Yeats's profile with mixed feelings, and pretended to be calm and said, "Granite Harbor is the gateway to the North Sea and is famous for its belief in the God of the Sea... When you arrive in Granite Harbor, you can go to the Temple of the God of the Sea to take a look, which will be worth the trip."
Yeats nodded.
The status of Poseidon in "Phantom Wings" is actually neither good nor bad.
If it was the Earth in the previous life, the ocean occupied 70% of the surface, and the power of the sea god can be imagined.
But on all sides of the Midgard continent, there is a border fog covering the "end of the world".
There are also legendary monsters lurking in the ocean, such as the Kraken. Therefore, Poseidon's dominance over the ocean is quite worrying, and he only has partial authority over the ocean.
Now that he was here, Ye Zhi decided to go and take a look at the Temple of Poseidon.
On the dock.
Wilson had already ordered someone to arrange a carriage for Yeats and his party in advance.
This is a high-end carriage with a spacious and luxurious interior, pulled by three horses on the outside. Judging from the emblem, it belongs to the carriage rental business of the Merchant Guild.
The driver was a halfling, wearing a simple linen shirt, with hazel eyes under curly hair, and he said in a friendly and cheerful manner:
"I know you, the honorable Baron. Your deeds in Morningfrost Ridge have been spread to us along with the delicious sandwiches!"
The appearance of the Bronti family is really too recognizable.
Granite Port is also the place where news from the northern provinces are exchanged, and its prosperity is second only to Wick Port and the northern capital 'Edinburgh'.
The carriage passed through the lush green trees, crossed the stone bridge over the sparkling lake, and passed through the stone-paved city center. After about half an hour, we arrived at the Temple of Poseidon located on the cliff outside the city.
The Temple of Poseidon is located on a peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides. The waves crash against the cliffs more than 40 meters high, breaking into white foam. Standing next to the Temple of Poseidon, you can see the magnificent North Sea and dolphins jumping out of the water.
The carriage was waiting at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by green and yellow grasslands. Yeats, Grey and Fokasse were walking on the stone steps that meandered up the mountain, when they heard the melodious sound of bagpipes.
The three of them looked up and saw a girl in a white robe standing next to a steep cliff on the top of the mountain.
She wore a grass wreath on her head and played the bagpipes, looking empty, graceful and sad. When the sunlight broke through the clouds, her figure suddenly became illusory and then disappeared.
"Am I dazzled?" Gray rubbed her eyes. "I clearly saw a figure just now."
"Ma'am, this phenomenon is called a 'mirage'."
A leisurely voice came from behind, and Yeats turned around, only to see a well-dressed bearded man walking with a familiar bald man.
"Baron Yeats!" the bald man said in surprise, "I'm surprised to meet you here!"
"Uh, you..."
"I am Lalong." Writer Lalong introduced himself at the right time, "I once participated in your poetry reading."
"Are you Yeats?"
Baron Cran Doyle's eyes showed great interest:
"I have read your Ode to a Nightingale. It is a really good poem!"
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
After saying this, he slapped his forehead in realization and said, "Forgive me for being so surprised that I forgot the etiquette. I am Clan Doyle, the lord of this place. I have heard of your deeds a long time ago, Your Excellency Yeats. It is truly extraordinary to meet you today."
Ye Zhi was slightly surprised.
Another important NPC in the game!
Although Clan Doyle is a nobleman, he has a special liking for uncovering clues and investigating cases. Under his detective eyes, the crime rate in Granite Port is extremely low.
He himself is a "battle master" in the way of the warrior, proficient in duels, and his swift sword skills are ranked among the best in the entire continent, at least at the master level.
"Mr. Clan, what does the 'mirage' you just mentioned have to do with that girl?" Ye Zhi asked.
Clan smiled and said, "Due to geographical and meteorological reasons, illusions often appear around the Temple of Poseidon. These illusions are not caused by magic. According to my investigation, the girl waited for her lover here decades ago. The wind engraved the picture and it appears again and again."
"Maybe she really is a ghost?" Gray interrupted.
Cran was somewhat surprised at the guard's presumptuous behavior and glanced at Yeats.
Yeats asked him not to care.
Clan laughed and said:
"It seems that Mr. Yeats is just like me, and doesn't like red tape!"
Then Crane Doyle looked at Gray and said calmly, "My companions and I have investigated this supernatural phenomenon. Based on the discussions of our Ghost Society, we have ruled out the possibility that she is really a ghost."
"Ghost Society?" Ye Zhi was surprised.
Cran Doyle smiled and said, "Please don't be scared by the name. It has nothing to do with cult beliefs! It's just a non-governmental organization spontaneously established by me and a few like-minded friends!"
Yeats was in a strange mood.
The Ghost Society is often linked to evil gods in the game's plot. Its main activities include exploring haunted houses, underground adventures, and bravely participating in cult rituals.
Simply put, it is a group of detectives who love to commit suicide, and a civilian organization that competes with forces such as Hell, the Kingdom of Shadows, and the Kingdom of the Dead.
Seeing Cran Doyle talking nonstop and about to recruit others to join his gang, Yeats was about to call a halt.
At this time.
Above the Temple of Poseidon, the wind and clouds changed color, and dark clouds covered the sea.
On a beach within sight, a group of extraordinary people dressed as mercenaries were running away desperately.
Ye Zhi used his clairaudience to hear their cries.
"How can there be a dragon under the sea?!"
Ye Zhi was slightly startled, and saw the sea surface bulge upwards, with a loud rumble, an adult blue dragon flapped its wings and broke through the sea surface, looking at the mercenaries with an angry look, spewing out a breath mixed with thunder and lightning, and the majestic breath was like a substance that pressed down, even the air became heavy! The faces of writers Lalong and Clan Doyle were shocked at the same time! The blue dragon was too real, and although Clan Doyle had doubts in his heart, he instinctively wanted to escape!
At the same moment.
In Yeats's soul realm, the misty divinity surrounding the Tree of Life seemed to sense its own kind and emitted a bright light!
