Aurora Order Demigod, Rose Saint
"Hold on."
The bartender's attitude softened considerably, and he quickly prepared everything Luther had requested. Luna jumped from his arms onto the bar, smelled the fish, and began to eat slowly.
Are there any noteworthy news stories recently?
Luther rubbed his finger against the glass of lemonade and asked casually.
"News..."
After serving the food, the bartender lazily wiped the glasses again. "Recently, the people of the Southern Continent have been causing quite a stir, supposedly related to the instigation of a cult. The colonial governments of Loen, Feysac, and Intis are all suppressing it, and a lot of reinforcements have come from the north."
The Rose School of Thought hasn't quieted down yet.
Luther thought for a moment, then asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Have."
The bartender suddenly gave a strange smile. "You've heard of 'Vice Admiral of Ailment Tracy,' right? The beautiful and terrifying Great Pirate. She and her Fleet were attacked at sea by the Blood Bishop,' and were captured alive. The entire Fleet was sold on Symeem Island the Rorsted Archipelago."
I know that all too well.
Luther remained silent, because judging from the bartender's expression, there was more to this story.
"Upon hearing the news, countless men at sea felt a deep sense of regret. They said the Blood Bishop was truly cruel, actually willing to send such a beautiful woman to the gallows. Initially, the governor of Symeem Island intended to send Tracy to Backlund for trial, but the Intis Embassy urgently sent someone to contact them, offering a reward to take her away."
"Intis?"
"That's right, it's said that the Sauron Family was behind it." The bartender's eyes were sly. "Probably one of the young masters in this family has taken a liking to Tracy and wants to tame this Pride captain into his little woman..."
Young master of nobility?
She might be a noblewoman...
Luther muttered to himself.
The roles of Helene and Tracy, taker and receiver, guard and Prisoner, have been reversed... However, the Sauron Family probably wouldn't spend a lot of Pound to satisfy Helene's personal desires; perhaps they still intend to communicate with the Demoness Sect.
He stayed in the bar for a while longer, until Luna finished eating the fish, then picked her up and left the bar, leaving the town.
At the edge of Midway Island, the sea breeze howled.
Luther arrived at a huge, protruding rock, their agreed meeting place. Luna, to avoid the wind, had already once again crawled into his robe.
"Swish swish!"
Emerald green Pea Vines cascaded down, weaving into a lush, dense forest. This forest stretched upwards, spiraling and crisscrossing, forming staircases leading to the sky. Glistening pea pods dotted the landscape, bringing light to the forest and giving it a dreamlike, hazy appearance.
Luther chose one of the steps and climbed up step by step, using the seemingly delicate but actually sturdy Pea Vines.
After an unknown amount of time, he ascended to a spacious, Palace -shaped platform. The platform was surrounded by plant walls that blocked the winds from the Berserk Sea, and in the center of the Palace, on Throne Weaving Vines, the "Queen Mystic" Bernadette was quietly watching him.
This king of the seas was dressed in an Intis- style white shirt, a dark black jacket, and a slender Rapier at his waist, looking dashing and every inch the captain.
"Your Queen, it's been a long time."
Luther greeted him.
Bernadette looked at him with her deep blue eyes and said in a soft voice, "Long time no see."
Meow~
Luna peeked out from Luther's robe and called out to the "Queen Mystic." The Queen smiled slightly and gestured to the Invisible Servant beside her, who immediately floated over carrying an exquisite tray and offered the food inside to the black cat.
You've been very active lately, accomplishing quite a few significant things.
Bernadette glanced at the black cat, then turned her gaze back to Luther. "How's it going with your 'Black Knight' Acting?"
"It went relatively smoothly."
Luther replied, "However, it is Sequence 4 after all, and it won't be so easy to completely digest it."
The last time the two met was in front of the God War Ruins.
After their separation, Luther attacked Toscarter Island and Blue Mountain Island, killing "Gluttony," Demigod Councilor of the Psychology Alchemists, Qonas, the Deputy Director of MI9 Loen, and capturing a Pirate Admiral. He did indeed do quite a lot.
Of course, what the "Queen Mystic" valued most was what he was about to do.
"I have pinpointed the approximate location of the 'Black Throne'."
Luther stretched out his hand, displaying the floating Black Iron Key, which still pointed westward. "According to my map, it should be circling between Aroca Island and Easter Island in the Fog Sea."
"Fog Sea..."
Bernadette's eyes glazed over for a moment, as if she were recalling some past events.
After a moment of silence, she said, "It corroborates certain things."
In other words, my research direction is correct, right?
Luther thought to himself, then spoke again, "I plan to rest on Selos Island at the edge of the Berserk Sea first, and then go to find the Black Throne according to the key's guidance. If all goes well, it shouldn't take long."
He thought for a moment, then asked, "Your Queen, would you like to come with me?"
Having a Sequence 3 companion greatly increases one's safety.
Unfortunately, the "Queen Mystic" slowly shook her head.
"I know his style," Bernadette said. "If it's not someone he's set his sights on, he'll find all sorts of ways to stop him. If I go with you, it will only hinder your ability to find it."
No wonder she's Roselle's daughter; she really understands her father's ways.
Luther nodded, "Alright then, I'll go by myself."
"Yes, I hope you find it soon."
The Queen said calmly.
After a moment of silence, Luther suddenly felt a weight on his robe. Looking down, he saw that Luna had finished the food the Queen had given her, jumped up from the ground, grabbed his robe, and climbed back onto his shoulder.
Its azure eyes reflected the light from inside the Palace.
Luther reached out to pet the cat, and after a moment's thought, asked, "Do you know the Secrets Suppliant recipe for Sequence 3 of the 'Potion' Pathway?"
Bernadette's eyes flickered. "The Aurora Order a Demigod, the Rose Saint," she said, "Who is Sequence 3 Demigod, but his whereabouts are unknown, and there are even rumors that he is long dead. Apart from that, I haven't heard any other news."
Sequence 3 Beyonders are already able to hold important positions in various organizations, and information about the corresponding Potion is difficult to obtain... Although he couldn't get any information from the Queen, Luther wasn't too disappointed, since he hadn't expected to get the formula immediately anyway.
Moreover, the Hermit promised that he might receive good news.
