"Holy Light, Aldrich, what's the matter?"
The second officer, Paul, saw Jobron struggling to carry Aldrich, immediately stepped forward to help, and asked with a concerned look."
Seasickness."
Jobuterrand made an excuse that he didn't believe in himself to prevaricate the second mate's doubts.If he had been told that the captain's body had exploded, the second officer, Paul, would not have believed it at the current juncture, and only when Aldrich woke up and told Paul the truth in person, plus took him to see the scene, the suspicious Paul would understand what had happened.Jobuterrand understood this very well, so he did not bother to explain it at this time.Paul was a former pirate, and the pirates were very affectionate with each other, but they could also encounter betrayal at any time, and Paul was able to break away from the pirate group and was clearly a man who had both contradictory characteristics."
He needs a good rest now, so let's send him back to his room to lie down.He must not be allowed to lie on the deck, lest he be seen by the passengers and attract idle gossip.Trouble the second mate, Mr.
Paul, to lead the way. ”Jobuterron said sincerely.Paul nodded, then took Aldridge by the arm and led Joblandr all the way to Aldrich's door.Joke and Paul worked together to put Aldrich on the bed, and Paul was about to turn away, but Jobrunt stopped Paul, "Mr.
Paul, would you mind talking about your past?"
”Paul turned his head, his face twitching, and closed the door from within."
If you know too much, you'll lose your head, Mr.
Detective."
Paul said.Hearing this, Chobuterrand spread his hands, "Everyone understands the truth, but at this time, so many things are happening on this ship, and no one can stay out of it."
The more I know, the better it will be for us. ”Paul didn't seem satisfied with Jobland's answer, and although the previous conversation in front of the tank made Paul understand that Jobrentran was a detective with real skills, it didn't mean that the suspicious Paul would tell all his secrets.Respect does not mean trust, this is a truth that every pirate understands.Life on a pirate ship taught Paul that he had to be extremely careful in everything he did, or one wrong step would lead to an abyss from which he would never recover.Seeing the hesitation on Paul's face, Jobron raised his right hand and raised three fingers to the sky, "I, Jobron Rosart, swear in the name of the Trinity, the Light, the Son, and the Holy Spirit that I will never reveal anything to anyone without the consent of Paul, the second deputy of the Cookropes, or I will go to the boundless hell after death, and be burned by the fire of purgatory until the day of the reckoning of sins."
Amen. ”With that, Chobuterrand swiped his right hand on his forehead and chest, symbolizing the integrity of the oath.Seeing this, Paul nodded with satisfaction, because Jobbuterrand made the oath that all followers of the Light would make when faced with difficulties, and it was an oath of absolute loyalty, after all, no one would joke with their souls."
Paul is just my pseudonym, but it doesn't matter what my real name is.I've been on this ship since I retired from the Skull Rose Pirates and recuperated for two years before joining this ship.One is three years, from the crew to the position of second officer.The captain took a fancy to my proficiency in navigation, my rich sailing experience, and my good fighting skills that led me to the promotion.Since coming to this ship, it has been a peaceful nautical life, until these things happened recently, is there any problem?
”Second Mate Paul said."
Doesn't sound like a problem, Mr.
Paul, would you mind telling me about your refreshment?"
Jobuterrand leaned against the wall, lit a cigar, and asked slowly.The last cigar was left in the captain's quarters, and was lost with the captain's corpse."
The heart-washing ritual is to take a rib from the chest, and the leather face is to leave a scar on the face, which is the price that every member of the Skeleton Rose Pirate Corps has to pay for leaving."
Paul stretched out his left hand and touched the long scar on his face, remembering the pain of the ceremony."
Of course I do.The Skeleton Rose Pirates dominate the South Pacific region, a group of pirates who specialize in robbing pirates, but never kill innocent chivalrous pirates.He has always been loved by the poor because of his frequent almsgiving, and at the same time has a strong ability to fight at sea, but I want to know why you left?
Leave such a famous pirate regiment and be a civilian?
”Jobuterrand spat out a smoke ring in Paul's direction."
Does the Skull Rose have the scenery you imagined?"
Paul reflected on the past and let out his heart little by little."
We used to swim above the sea, and we once thought we were the hegemon of the South Pacific.Even the official and military ships saluted us when they saw our flags, what a sight.We are never soft on the betrayal, and initially only the betrayer will be refreshed.At that time, the heart-washing was extremely bloody and cruel, the heart-washing was to cut out the heart, and the leather face was to tear off the whole dough.It wasn't until after that incident that we weakened the ritual of redress and made it the price for those who left. ”Paul slowly reveals to Jobuterrand the secret of the Skull Rose Pirates."
Sorry, I don't understand.In other words, the initial change of heart was a punishment?
”Jobuterrand asked."
That's right, the rules of the ship have been around for hundreds of years since the beginning of the Middle World, and they haven't changed.Those who commit adultery need to change their minds.Those who rob property need to change their ways.Those who secretly kill people need to kneel and beg for mercy.Those who betray relatives and friends are guilty of pleading.These four iron laws correspond to four different punishments.The Skeleton Rose Pirates have never been pirates, we are thieves and thieves.If there is a problem, it will be solved through a duel, so the Skull Rose is revered.It wasn't until that incident that the Skull Rose gradually withered, and now the Skull Rose flag is no longer seen in the South Pacific. ”Paul said with a heavy heart."
I've heard that the pirate crew of Skull Rose is more like a knight, and you are a knight inherited from the Middle Ages?
What about that?
Why did Skull Rose disband later?
And why did you wash your heart and face on the departing crew?
”Jobbuterrand asked curiously."
We have to keep a secret.The Skull Rose was supposed to be a knight order guarding the South Pacific, and the Rogue was only used to disguise his charming identity.Until that secret is revealed, there is naturally no need for the Skull Rose to exist.The people on Skull Rose are either dead or insane, and the unity that survives has been given a weakened version of the Captain's decision. ”Paul touched his left chest and said slowly, "We made a big mistake, an unforgivable mistake.All those involved are guilty of self-punishment, and those who know are guilty of the same crime. ”The more Joberrand listened, the more confused he became, what kind of mistake could have caused an organization that had lasted for hundreds of years to collapse in a matter of years?
Joybuterrand didn't interrupt Paul's narration, but waited for him to slowly tell the story behind it.Joke Butron's instinct vaguely told him that the secret of the Skull Rose might have something to do with what was happening on the ship."
Skull Rose was originally established to protect a seal, a seal that could not be known to the world.I don't know if you've heard of the existence of Nemo Dot?
”Paul asked Jobbutron.Hearing this, Chobuterron nodded, and replied, "I know, Nemo Point, also known as the Ocean Difficulty, is the farthest point on the earth's surface from the land, located in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean. ”Paul was amazed at Jobbutron's erudition, which was not like the knowledge of a private detective, and even some veteran seafarers might not know Nemo's point."
That secret lies in the depths of Nemo Point."
Paul said."
You're talking about the city of Lalaye?"
Jobuterrand understood what Paul was trying to say, and boldly pointed it out.Paul's face changed dramatically when he heard this, and the suspicious Paul instantly showed a defensive posture, "How did you know about Laleye?!"
Say!
”Paul's movements were a bit loud, and the noise it caused seemed to affect Aldrich's sleep, and Aldrich rolled over as a result.Jobuterrand pressed his hands and said to Paul, "It looks like Aldrich is about to wake up, this is not the place to talk, you come with me to my room." ”With that, Jobuterrand went to the door and opened it.Seeing that Paul was still on guard, Chobuterrand reluctantly stretched out his right hand and softly chanted, "Thank you, O gracious light, for your gifts." ”A cloud of white light condensed in his right hand and slowly floated in front of Paul.The power of this light was gentle, and Paul could feel a hint of holiness in its breath.Paul then relieved himself of his guard and suspicion, and asked, "Are you from the Holy See?"
”Chobuterrand shook his head and replied, "Not only the Holy See can wield the power of the Light, but I think you should know very well that those who wield the Light are not evil. ”Paul was silent for a while, then sighed, "I see, I'll go with you." ”Jobbuterron smiled, then gently closed the door for Aldrich, who was still snoring behind him.Paul followed Jobuterrand to room 369, where Jobuterrand lived."

Would you like a drink or something?
Coffee?
Black tea?
”Jobuterrand asked politely, as he had done with the etiquette of a guest.Paul shook his head and said impatiently, "No need, so tedious, tell me where you're from?"
”Instead of replying, Jobuterrand took out a brooch from his suitcase, pinned it to his chest, and took out a small notebook and threw it to Paul.The cover of the small book is made of dark brown cowhide, but there is no text on the cover, and the first page after opening it reads "Mysterious Investigation Bureau, wolf-level independent investigator, Jobbutran G Rosat." ”The next few pages contain information about the Ulm branch to which Jobteran had been loyal and the distribution of Mooney, while the last few pages show Bismarck's handwritten letter of recommendation for Jobputran to the University of Michigan.Paul turned a few pages and understood the origin of Jobutland, and it was only then that he truly believed him."
No wonder you know about the city that sank under the sea.That's right, that secret has to do with Lalaye. ”Paul said to Jobron."
I guess what you released from Laleye?"
Jobuterron guessed boldly."
You're only half right, and it's not what's inside Lalaye that's being released, it's what's outside the seal."
Paul said with a wry smile."
Cthulhu sleeps in Lalleye, but Khira is not asleep."
Chobuterrand had no memory of the unfamiliar name of Khira, and he could not recall any of any literature or books that had seen such a name."
Khira?""
Daughter of Cthulhu.The Old Dominators, who also inhabit Lalaye, are individuals who are closely guarded by Gon, Hydra, and the Star Clan.Resembling her father, she has an octopus-like body, a pair of free-shrinking wings, tentacles with hooked claws, and the ability to change body form at will like Cthulhu.A little-known, but very important, old dominant.Legend has it that Kthulhu will reincarnate Cthulhu and return him to the world after Cthulhu enters his own destruction. ”Paul explained to Jobuterland.Eventron was speechless and unable to find the right words to describe his feelings, and said to Paul, "Please don't tell me that this thing has escaped." ”"It's impossible for Kehira to run out, but what comes out of the seal is perhaps more terrifying than Keshira."
Paul shuddered as he recalled the indescribable horror."
That's a descendant of Khira, a descendant of a humanoid.Dagon outside the seal tried his best to tear open a small hole and bring the humanoid descendant into the world.Our fleet was like shredded paper in front of Dagon, and any attack would have no effect on him, but he could easily have broken our ship to pieces with a casual blow, but he didn't.I was a child, but I remember the empty eyes, the black fog that obscured my vision, and the waves that filled the sky.Dagon struggled to attack the seal left by Nordens and was mortally wounded, but he succeeded.The creature that escaped from the seal landed on our ship, and Gon made a high-pitched sound, as if mocking what we were about to do. ”Paul's voice trembled, and the horror remained in his mind.The clues in Jobbutron's mind were instantly connected, and three words blurted out, "Mermaid?!"
