Chapter 45 Chapter 51 Father Asclepius Part 3

"Can I really?"

"Don't worry! Nothing will happen!"

Pomo patted his chest and assured Xu Kuiaya, although his affirmation was completely based on intuition, which was completely different from Puys' rational analysis.

Xu Kuieya had only met some villagers when she came to Shouyu Island a year ago. If anyone could recognize her now, they would only be the children who had bullied her.

But the pure malice of the children came and went quickly. They did not necessarily really hate Xu Kuia or even the Church of Light. They were just influenced by the rejection of the adults.

Although Xu Kuieya could understand the situation, when he came to a place not far from the city, he still felt his heart pounding, as if he was doing something bad.

She encouraged herself and told herself that she was not facing it alone this time.

"Let's go back to the tavern first and ask Captain Mackay or Uncle Chelle if they recognize the words in this note."

Puys felt that there must be something recorded in this notebook.

"Maybe we can ask Shounan, too!"

Pomo suggested that, after all, Shounan was a native of Shouyu Island and a "brother" with whom they had shared life and death.

"No." Ni Lan suddenly interrupted Bo Mo's proposal, "Shou Nan is not allowed."

Puisi and Pomo both looked at him, why couldn't he find a Shounan, there must be a reason.

Ni Lan was silent for a while, and seemed to be just beginning to think about the reason.

Finally, he finally thought of it.

"Intuition."

Pomer used to use this reason to convince Puys, but when others tried to convince him with the same reason, he finally realized how ridiculous this reason was.

He subconsciously looked at Puis and found that his friend was also looking at him.

It seems to be saying: Look what a good lead you are.

"Hehe, I believe Ni Lan! Uncle Chel is also a native of Shouyu Island anyway!"

This time Ni Lan did not object; he nodded in agreement.

"Let's go, then."

The morning market in Shouyu Island is already bustling with activity, and the freshest fish arrive at this time.

Xu Kuieya's eyes went dark when she saw so many people. She was a little hesitant, but when she saw the encouraging eyes of the friends she just met, she felt that she couldn't run away like this.

If he really ran away, Xu Kuiya might lose all the courage to face strangers from now on.

Once you enter the city, things are not that difficult.

Because no one would know Xu Kuieya.

Everyone either walked past them hurriedly or gave them friendly glances.

There are many tourists on Shouyu Island, so it is normal to see strangers.

"Yis, Ni Lan, Xu Kuieya, let's have breakfast first! I'm hungry again!" Pomo just went for a 'morning run'. His special abilities are good in every way, but he gets hungry quickly if he uses them too much.

The auntie who was not far away seemed to have heard his voice and immediately waved to him enthusiastically, "Come and try the salt-fried fish. The salt-fried shrimp is also delicious! Paired with soft rice crackers, this is a must-try when you come to Shouyu Island!"

Pomo was immediately intrigued; he could taste something just by listening to it.

There was no rush to find Father Asclepius and Podali. At least they knew the priest had come back, so there was a high probability that he was fine.

So the four of them sat down at a small table at a roadside stall, eating delicious food while watching the passers-by.

Xu Kuieya felt that the blood that was rushing in her head finally calmed down. Although she had been in Shouyu Island for a year, it was her first time to eat this "Shouyu Island must-eat breakfast".

In Xipo Xuankong City, only the nobles could eat fish, so after coming here, she couldn't handle fish well at all, and every time she ate it, there was a strong fishy smell.

She was used to it, but as soon as she put this delicious breakfast into her mouth today, she knew she would never be able to resist it again.

It’s really delicious, wuwu.

As the girl ate, she became excited again, but luckily she held back her tears this time.

"What are you going to do later? You came so early today."

"Take the food back as soon as possible so that we can go and pay respect to Lord Poseidon!"

"Isn't your man going out to sea tomorrow? Are you going today?"

"It's just for peace of mind! I heard that a new alien world has appeared nearby. I just hope he can come back safely."

The aunt at the stall next to her was selling fresh fruits. In addition to the abundant seafood, Shouyu Island also has plenty of tropical fruits. She was eating melon seeds while chatting with another aunt.

From her point of view, to put it bluntly, the people here are all pagans. If it were a few decades ago or even earlier, the Church of Illuminati could even launch a holy war openly.

But Xu Kuieya also saw clearly that everyone here was just an ordinary person.

Does it really matter whether we have the same beliefs?

Xu Kuieya finally understood what his brother said. Their appearance was actually a disrespect to the people who had lived here for generations.

The people here just ignored their presence and didn't do anything excessive... Isn't Uncle Chelle the best proof of this?

Isn't her prejudice a form of disrespect?

"I seem to have been living in my own imagination."

Xu Kuieya suddenly spoke, and the three people who were eating stopped.

Feeling that they were all looking at her, the girl immediately regretted what she said, "That's not what I meant! Sorry... I just feel that the grievance I felt before was a little inexplicable..."

"Except for the children." Ni Lan immediately understood what she meant.

"Ni Lan is right. Your brother was right to ask you to blow them out." Puis brought the salt-fried shrimps to Xu Kuieya.

Pomo was halfway through chewing, seemingly not understanding what was going on.

But his relief was also the most direct. The boy swallowed it quickly, then clenched his fists and waved them.

"We are all good people. If you really meet someone you hate, just beat him up! I'll help you!"

Xu Kuieya was crying and laughing at the same time, and her expression looked particularly strange. "My brother never said such words to me, but...thank you."

Her brother loved him very much, but his love was silent most of the time - she missed her brother.

Ni Lan looked at Xu Kuieya's amber eyes and suddenly realized that her brother had the same eyes.

A picture engraved from the future occupied his mind. The amber light cut through the dark time and held on to the only remaining hope. It was just a fleeting glitter, like a wave in the sea of ​​stars, and would eventually create a grand and brilliant farewell.

The boy opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

"Xu Kui Eya."

"What's wrong?"

"Your...power..."

Ni Lan stopped suddenly and subconsciously looked at the two people he trusted most.

But at this moment, it is not trust, but suspicion.

He floats in the sea of ​​future memories, and the torn reality he encounters becomes obscure and turns into an alarm bell that begins to ring wildly.

Xu Kuieya waited for him in confusion. Ni Lan's words turned around in his throat and finally became unrecognizable.

"No... I mean, will you come with us to look for them? I mean, Father Asclepius and your brother."

What kind of question is this? Xu Kuieya felt a little strange, but she still nodded.

"Of course! I know my powers are useless, but I can definitely help!"

Xu Kuieya didn't want to wait any longer; this month's wait had almost consumed her.

Ni Lan nodded and said nothing more, silently eating the last bite of the rice cake in her hand.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Something was wrong, but neither Pomer nor Puis knew what it was.

It's not even possible to mention it.

Xu Kuieya's knot was untied, but Ni Lan's was far from it.

——

The Oceanus Tavern usually has no customers during the day and only serves as an inn.

Chel looked at the four people coming back from outside together, especially Xu Kuieya who had changed his clothes, and smiled happily.

"I told you, the people here are actually very nice. No one will notice you if you just change your clothes and sneak in!"

Xu Kuieya's face immediately turned red and she apologized embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry! It's all my fault for being prejudiced against this place!"

Chel blinked blankly. He didn't think too much about it. He didn't care about the so-called conflict of beliefs. He just thought it was impossible for anyone to dislike such a lovely girl.

"Come sit down! Maika and the others are still sleeping, are you sure you don't want to take a rest?"

The Church of Light was far away from here, and he knew that since he went there every week.

It is even less likely that the three students from Lanster School of Supernatural Powers came here just for vacation. It's just that we don't know their specific purpose of coming to Shouyu Island.

"We are in high spirits! Thank you Uncle Chelle for your concern!"

Pomo smiled brilliantly.

All three kids were fine, and Uncle Chelle wanted to trust his instincts, but he still had to ask, if only to put his mind at ease.

"Can you tell me the purpose of your coming to Shouyu Island?" The uncle's eyes hidden under his messy hair suddenly became sharp, as if he would immediately drive them out if they said anything unfavorable to Shouyu Island.

"The clergy of the Church of Light, namely Father Ascle and Xukiea's brother Podali, have disappeared. That's why we are here."

Uncle Cher's cold and aloof aura suddenly disappeared. "What? When did they disappear? Why didn't you tell me?"

He thought his attitude was very friendly, but he didn't expect that the girl didn't trust him at all.

Xu Kuiaya apologized embarrassedly, "I'm sorry...I..."

"It's not important. Tell me about the priest and your brother."

After listening to Xu Kuiaya's explanation of the whole story, Uncle Chel's expression became more serious.

He seemed to know something, but that was all he knew.

Then, Uncle Chel turned to look at the three of them and said, "You must have discovered something before you came back."

Puis nodded, took out the notebook and handed it to Chel.
