Chapter 406 Arrival at Bansi Island
"What do you hope to achieve by bringing me into contact with the Fursac Empire?"
After receiving the promise that the Aurora Club would support her, Triss couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and very sensibly asked for clarification.
She didn't believe that Aurora would encourage her to contact the Fussac Empire just to help her advance through a different path and solve her problems; there must be some ulterior motive.
In just a moment, she had many guesses in her mind.
Hearing Triss's words, Evan's smile widened even more. He liked people who were direct and straightforward; communication was so smooth that there was no need for any nonsense.
"Your contact with the Fussac Empire has only one mission: to incite them to escalate their conflict with the Witch Cult and the Augustus family because of you—the bigger the better."
"Just like the previous conflict between the Witch Cult and the Gnostic War?"
Upon hearing this, Triss immediately thought of the Red Rose Manor incident that had occurred shortly after she arrived in Backlund.
This event drew in several factions, triggering months of turmoil in Backlund.
Now, Mr. Z clearly wants to repeat his old tricks, once again using her special status as the vessel for the primordial demon goddess to disrupt the situation.
"That's right, just like before!"
Triss still plays a decisive role in this matter, so Evan doesn't mind making things clear to her and giving her a rosy picture at the same time.
"If you really do this well, then even if you can't advance through other means in the end, the Lord will surely protect you from the corruption of the Primordial Witch."
Because disrupting the situation in the Northern Continent was an order personally given by the Lord!
When Evan spoke of the true creator, his voice immediately rose three degrees, behaving like a fanatical believer.
"As long as we can accomplish the Lord's task and buy Him more time, His actions will proceed more smoothly, and the ignorant lamb will ultimately be redeemed!"
To increase the credibility of his words, Evan decided to sell the true creator.
"What action is the Lord planning?"
Triss was indeed intrigued by Evan's words, and feeling a strong urge to ask, she couldn't help but ask.
"The Lord is making every effort to conquer the Southern Continent, save the lambs of the Southern Continent, and unite the forces there."
If successful, the world situation will change drastically, and it might even lead to a change of era.
Triss wasn't staying home during this time, so she naturally kept up with a lot of news.
So she immediately thought of the war in the Southern Continent reported in the newspapers, and became convinced that the disruption of the Northern Continent was indeed a mission personally ordered by the true Creator, which made her even more ambitious.
And she began to understand why she hadn't felt the gaze of the true Creator during these prayers as she had in the past.
"So the true creator's attention is currently focused on the Southern Continent!" This discovery made Triss feel a sense of relief.
Although being watched by the true creator could alleviate her fear of the primordial witch, being watched so frequently also put a lot of psychological pressure on her.
"Judging from the war in the Southern Continent and Mr. Z's emphasis on it, the True Creator indeed longs for chaos in the Northern Continent."
"This mission might actually be an opportunity for me." Seeing Triss's eagerness, Evan didn't add fuel to the fire, as too much of a good thing can be bad. Instead, he discussed with her how they should cooperate in the future.
After discussing everything, Triss finally couldn't help but ask:
"Do you have any plans for Edsac Augustus?"
As I told you before, he now understands his expendable status and is filled with resentment towards the Augustus family; he is someone we can use.
Triss was completely unable to let go of Edsac Augustus, so even though she had a lot of problems herself, she couldn't help but remind Mr. Z not to forget him.
Evan watched the witch opposite him with great interest, her expression complex and unusually awkward, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"It seems that this witch, just like in the original story, has fallen in love with Edsack Augustus."
It's unclear whether this is due to the influence of the primordial witch or her own will.
If it's the latter, that's fine, but if it's the former, what does that mean?
Although Evan has become a high-ranking member of MI9 and a favorite of the Goddess of the Night, he can read a large number of secret documents within these two organizations and learn about history that many people do not know.
But the secrets of the gods were still beyond his comprehension, and many things could not be written down or even spoken aloud.
Evan felt it would be necessary for him to collect more history about the Fourth Epoch, especially about the Primal Witch and the Pale Calamity.
"The Speaker of Life is one path, but I already owe a debt of fate to killing Panatia and Christina, and I cannot continue to incur debts unless absolutely necessary."
Grisha is also a way to understand the secrets of the Quaternary Period, but getting anything out of him is not so easy.
Just like this time, he gave me an Aurora Gathering without any high-level power, and then asked me to help him disrupt the situation in the Northern Continent.
Who knows what price we'll have to pay to learn the secrets of the Primordial Witch from him!
Or perhaps we should inquire through the Augustus family? Although he was pondering where to start to find out about the Primordial Witch, he didn't stop Evan from responding to Triss.
"Don't worry, I won't forget Edsac Augustus, and I've been keeping an eye on him."
Actually, as long as you're not controlled by the witch's cult, he'll be fine, right?
Seeing the mocking look in Mr. Z's eyes through the golden mask, Triss knew that she had never been able to hide her thoughts from the person in front of her.
Although Mr. Z didn't say anything, Triss understood that this was a warning from him, telling her that he knew everything and that she shouldn't try to outsmart him.
This made Triss even more wary of Mr. Z.
After giving Triss a veiled warning, Evan said nothing more and simply got up to take his leave.
Seeing Evan suddenly disappear, Triss sighed helplessly and sat back down on the stool in front of the dressing table.
What do you know about Bansi Island?
Klein looked at the dimly lit harbor and the bright lighthouse on the distant mountain, and asked the veteran pirate beside him.
Danitz, oblivious to the seriousness in Klein's tone, thought for a moment and said:
"Bansi Island! It's not a good place; there are many eerie legends about it."
Danitz stopped talking and looked at Klein, hoping he would play the straight man.
Klein, who already knew Danitz, knew that the more concerned he seemed at this moment, the more Danitz would keep him in suspense. So he remained silent and didn't even glance at him.
Unable to get a response from Klein, Danitz clicked his tongue in boredom, but couldn't help continuing:
"Legend has it that three hundred years ago, when the Rune army first landed on this island, more than five hundred soldiers disappeared in a thick fog. Not long after, many skeletons appeared on the beach and on the mountains. Similar things happened several times until the Church of Storms sent people to build a church and dispatched a bishop!"
Klein stared straight ahead, pretending not to care, but as he listened to Danitz's story, he couldn't help but frown.
"Our captain told us that archaeologists once excavated the tombs here and discovered many murals."
According to the murals, the local inhabitants seem to have a tradition of cannibalism.
Moreover, the island is located in a region of drastic climate change, with frequent earthquakes, storms, and dense fog, which brought unbearable disasters to the indigenous people. Therefore, in order to survive, the indigenous people created a weather god and worshipped him four times a year, using chosen "favored ones" as human sacrifices.
Because of its unpredictable weather, Bansi Island is also known as a "weather museum" by meteorologists.
"Isn't that quite similar to Backlund? Backlund's climate is also unpredictable, causing generations of meteorologists to go bald."
However, although the climate in Backlund is changeable, it is not as severe as that on Bansey Island. Is this because there are angels guarding it? Upon hearing the description of Bansey Island, Klein naturally thought of Backlund. Although he only stayed in Backlund for three months, the weather there left a deep impression on him.
When he heard the word "human sacrifice," Klein instinctively felt uncomfortable, yet he also felt as if he had heard a similar description somewhere before.
Klein quickly recalled that he had seen a similar description on Evan's Hunter's Blasphemy card.
Sequence 2: Weather Wizard.
It possesses the authority to alter regional weather and create extreme weather events, such as thunderstorms, hurricanes, torrential rain, and hail.
The ability to create blizzards and dense fog.
Main materials: —
Auxiliary materials: —
Promotion Ceremony: Forcibly changing the weather in a region in a very short period of time without relying on external assistance.
The weather sorcerer is the master of the weather and the embodiment of conflict. The climate and people in the region he resides in are often very changeable and extreme, and the possibility of war breaking out is constantly increasing.
"There might be a weatherman on Bansi Island? How is that even possible?"
Klein felt he might have found the reason why Evan was so interested in Bansie Island, but inwardly he rejected the possibility.
As Danitz has already stated, the Church of Storms built a church here and sent bishops, which indicates that the Church of Storms once set its sights on this place.
If there really were such a "weather sorcerer" here, then they should have been eliminated by the Church of Storms long ago. How could they still be safe and sound now?
Therefore, Klein is more inclined to believe that Bansie Island might be a place for a weather sorcerer to advance.
Because of the advancement of this "weather wizard," the climate of Bansi Island has undergone permanent changes, which is why the Bansi Weather Museum was created.
Thinking of this, Klein's thoughts involuntarily drifted to Backlund.
If the climate change in Backlund is also influenced by extraordinary forces, then is this kind of force, which even the three major churches and the Augustus family could not quell, far beyond the Sequence 2 weather sorcerer?
Hunter Path Sequence 1 "Conqueror," related items such as: related extraordinary traits or sealed artifacts?
Thinking of this, Klein's expression turned somewhat grim again.
According to the tacit understanding between the Church and the Augustus family, the Kingdom of Backlund is dominated and protected by the Augustus family, so the three major churches cannot even place level 0 sealed artifacts in Backlund.
If Backlund's climate is indeed so variable for this reason, then this sealed artifact can only be in the hands of the Augustus family.
The thought that such a powerful sealed artifact might be in the hands of George III weighed heavily on Klein's heart.
The more powerful the bad guys are, the greater the harm they cause.
'Evan should know the inside story. Find an opportunity to ask him!' Klein believed that if the Augustus family really had such a high-level sealed artifact, then Evan would definitely be the one most concerned.
After all, he himself is an extraordinary being of the Hunter path, and he holds the corresponding blasphemous card.
Just as Klein was lost in thought, he remembered what Danitz had said.
"Hey, what are you thinking? Are you coming down or not? If you're not coming down, I'm coming down."
"What? What did you say?"
Klein was thinking too deeply and didn't hear Danitz's words clearly, so he could only ask a question in return.
Danitz looked at Klein speechlessly, wanting to complain, but remembering the strength of the person opposite him, he could only force himself to hold back and said:
"Don't forget, you promised to let me send a telegram to the captain after I get to Bansi Island. You can't go back on your word!"
"And if I can't contact the captain, you won't get the ransom, right?"
Klein didn't say anything upon hearing this, but simply twirled the gold coin in his hand, silently recited a mantra, and then tossed the coin into the air.
Upon seeing this, Danitz realized that this powerful bounty hunter was actually skilled in divination.
To Danitz's surprise, after using the gold coins for divination, Klein still didn't leave, but instead turned around and went back to his cabin.
Danitz became somewhat anxious upon seeing this situation, as he wanted to take this opportunity to remind the captain that someone on board might have leaked information.
But before he could follow her into the cabin, Xialian turned to him and said, "Wait outside for a while." Then she slammed the hatch shut, nearly hitting Danitz's nose.
Danitz took a few steps back, stopping only when his waist hit the railing. He could only mutter a few curses under his breath, unable to understand what Xialian meant.
In fact, Xialian just wanted to go above the fog to re-divine the dangers of Bansie Island.
Although he was certain there wouldn't be a single Tianchen above, he figured it was better to be safe than sorry, so he decided to consult the oracle at Fanwu Temple to put his mind at ease.
After entering the fog, Xia Lian used the pendulum on her wrist to perform divination and discovered that the citrine pendant in front of her was rotating clockwise with a very large amplitude.
