Chapter 401 Priest
Eugen finally caught the dwarf's curse and reminder. He decisively bit the tip of his tongue and used the pain to reject the whisper that once again came to his ear.
But the pain turned into numbness the next moment, and soon evolved into an irresistible pleasure.
He didn't react until the blood soaked his lips and teeth.
The blood turned into honey in his mouth, emitting an irresistible sweet temptation. Eugen knew why the sailors hurt each other. Something changed their minds, distorted their senses, and changed everything at the source of instinct.
They will never have even a hint of dissatisfaction.
This is a change more drastic than chemicals, and they don't even have the power to say "no".
Just when Eugen was in despair, his second vision felt the burning heat from the north. The increasingly intense heat burned his mind. The intense burning sensation first turned into joy, and then returned to normal pain.
The huge fire that rose up into the sky burned away the dark clouds that were scattering raindrops, and along with the dark clouds, the whisper in Eugen's ear also disappeared.
At this moment, he seemed to hear another magnetic male voice, which was just like the whisper that sounded in the human's ears before, and it was equally irresistible.
It sighed, without any sign of discouragement, and the oracle vaguely sensed the implicit mockery in it.
The turbulent sea surface suddenly returned to calm, just like the sea ahead that was as still as land.
Lynch dived suddenly, and soon got into the sunken ship, floating up with the golden plate.
The devil's hideous face was hidden in the golden reflection. It roared and screamed silently. It could only do this.
The sailors went crazy when the golden disk approached the ship, and the archmage had to subdue them with a spell and begin the arduous work of decrypting the code.
The wizard didn't find the answer until another fishing boat approached.
"The wisdom of the ancient sages is not so easy to understand." He said this to Lynch, and Lynch just felt that he was making excuses for his incompetence.
Although Lynch couldn't figure out its principles all at once, it was as difficult as it was for primitive people to understand interstellar engines.
Lynch saw Eugen and the dwarves, and also saw the bloody remains of sacrifices on their ship. After discovering that there was no spread of the impact, Lynch gave up tracing the source. He now only hoped that the oracle with the vision of the ancient saints could see something.
"I knew how it worked at the first sight, just like you dwarves are familiar with blacksmithing. Perhaps ordinary people can't be like me. After all, I am special. Although I don't want to admit it, the facts prove that I am smarter than ordinary people." On the way back, the refreshed ancient saint priest boasted to himself.
Lynch could understand his excitement. The awakening of an oracle was not easy, and there were only a few hot-blooded people who could free themselves up.
But this guy showed off for too long. Until noon, when they were about to dock, Eugen was still telling his legend.
"Enough! How long are you going to tell this story? My ears are almost callused!" Sorian complained as expected, fighting against Eugen with even more nagging chatter.
The two people continued talking to themselves until the boat docked, and the pale-faced wizard's condition did not improve until they returned to land.
"What did you see? Or rather, what did you get? That is an ancient sealing magic. Even I cannot guarantee that I can restore and understand it."
"Uh" Eugen's boasting came to an abrupt end. He didn't know the principle at all. He just suddenly knew what to do. There was an invisible will guiding him.
Obviously, ordinary people do not have the vision of the ancient saints.
"Will something unexpected happen if we just throw the object that seals the devil into the sea?" Eugen tried to change the subject abruptly.
"No, I will come to check it myself in three hundred years." The elf would certainly not worry about the seal. The golden plate had been lying in the wilderness for nearly ten thousand years without any accident. After the seal was reinforced, no accidents would be possible within a thousand years.
"Okay." Eugen revealed the truth reluctantly and with difficulty.
"I learned some simple magic and some knowledge about demons."
"That's all?"
"Maybe there are more." Eugen didn't want to admit that he didn't know what knowledge he had gained. The answer to this kind of metaphysical thing would only be revealed when one actually encountered it.
“Now you finally behave like a prophet.” Teclis said, not sure whether he was disparaging or praising.
"You are right. Now I am a real prophet, although I was very successful before." The human became proud.
"You are indeed becoming more and more like a charlatan who cheats people everywhere. Now you are even more like one." Sorian said bluntly.
Lynch thought he was right. Shi Lan would like Eugen's style. They were all mysterious and did not speak clearly.
The returning ships were searched after landing, and because the sailors unanimously believed that they had encountered something terrible, they were all invited to a quarantine port.
Lynch left first with a swagger. As for them, they should sneak out when leaving. The human isolation network cannot hold back these monsters, unless they really want to be isolated for a period of time.
Now even if the Demon Prince wanted to attack this port, he would have to think carefully. Of course, it is impossible for a Demon Prince to covet such an insignificant dot on the map. The town of Sakaar is of no value at all.
If it had value, it would not be as desolate as it is now. Its only meaning of existence is to serve as a docking supply point and the base of the Knights of the "Sons of Manawe".
Apart from selling dried fish and wood for repairing sailboats, it has nothing to offer, and even the route from Marienburg to Erengrad rarely includes it.
It is said that behind a reef further west, there is a small fishing village that is about to replace the town of Sakal on the sea. The management there is more lax, and ships traveling on the sea prefer it there.
The same goes for the Marauders.
After Lynch returned to the vicinity of the hotel, he waited for two or three hours before the group of three returned.
"I convinced the local Sharya priests," Teclis explained.
Lynch just hoped that it wasn't a nightgown. Facts speak louder than words and there was no need to make anything clear.
The dwarf thought that his teammates had been dawdling in the temple for too long, but Eugen, with a red face, did not express any opinion.
Well, maybe it's a good thing to let them relax a little, so that Lynch has an excuse to work day and night.
After resting for a while in the inn and replenishing the dwarves' drinks, they set off again.
The conversations of passers-by gave Lynch a bad feeling. Most people coming from the sea were talking about rumors about the plague, and people coming from the land would also tell stories about the disease in addition to talking about the war.
