A way to find prey

The sound of "dong dong dong" only rang three times before it turned into a loud bang.

As the wooden door flew back, the light of Kerosene Wall Lamps in the corridor shone into the darkness covered with Weeds, and Crimson Flames surged in.

In the eyes of Lugano, the illusory and huge Oak Tree suddenly disappeared, and the Father Montserrat holding an invisible baby also disappeared.

Under the erosion of Flames and light, Weeds faded, the darkness subsided, and Lugano "returned" to the simple prayer room sprinkled with Crimson Moonlight.

Lumian, wearing a golden straw hat, appeared at the door that had no door. His eyes scanned every corner inside, but there was no trace of Father Montserrat.

"Beyond Ability, which is similar to 'Otherworld', is not independent enough from reality, but incorporates some other characteristics... It's a bit like 'Devil Warlock' Bourman gained special abilities after being forcibly transformed into Pathway... Where are you hiding now? According to the knowledge Ludwig gained from food, Beyonder of Divine Descent School can hide in wooden products, thereby Concealment itself, although it is not sure whether Father Montserrat is affected by Divine Descent School Temptation was corrupted and deteriorated, but he was obviously influenced by 'Great Mother'..." Lumian quickly assessed the current situation.

Lumian is not surprised at all that Father Montserrat ran away without any resistance or fighting, and Concealment got up:

He performed the wave magic in the ship Bar just for fun and did not want to waste the time-limited "Governor of the Sea" Authority, but the subsequent use of huge Sea waves to "greet" the captains Pedro and Father Montserrat was not just to show off and appreciate others' shock and surprise.

Under the premise that he was not sure whether the Divine Descent School incident was over and whether there were any "Great Mother" believers hidden on the ship, he deliberately showed the power of "Governor of the Sea" at the Half-God level for the sake of Intimidation!

If there are no other "Great Mother" believers and no other dangers lurking, then the act of "saying hello" is just to show off. If there are, let the dangerous elements worry about the existence of Half-God and hide deeper without making any attempts. Wait until the ship arrives at the next port and then the official force of "Earth Mother" Church will handle it.

Now, Father Montserrat obviously does not dare to fight head-on with Great Adventurer Louis·Berri, who controls the power of Half-God, and chooses to hide directly and wait for the ship to dock!

--If Lugano hadn't been unlucky or very lucky and bumped into the invisible baby in the priest's arms on the spot, Montserrat would probably have continued Acting's competent "Earth Mother" Church Clergy, don't cause big trouble Louis·Berri.

"Father, Father Montserrat is a believer of 'Great Mother'! He was holding an invisible baby just now!" After confirming that he had returned to reality and returned to the prayer room, with his employer right in front of him, Lugano hurriedly recounted the specific situation.

Holding an invisible baby... maybe hiding in some wooden product...Lumian's eyes swept over the chairs in the prayer room, the floor and the Life Holy Emblem engraved on the wooden surface of the wall.

Suddenly, something moved in his heart, and he walked towards Holy Emblem, which represented "Earth Mother".

The edge of Holy Emblem is Wheat Ears, flowers, springs and other symbols, and the core is a simple baby.

Baby!

As Lumian moved forward, Crimson Flames continued to spread inside, setting fire to the wooden floor and the chairs.

Lumian stopped in front of Life Holy Emblem, stretched out his right hand, and gently touched the face of the simple baby.

The wood there suddenly rotted and discharged yellow pus.

It looks like the baby surrounded by Wheat Ears flowers has long since rotted and shed tears of blood.

"Earth Mother"'s Church has a big problem... Lumian narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although he didn't find the Father Montserrat that Concealment rose up, he discovered that there was decay and darkness hidden under the bright surface of "Earth Mother" Church.

Seeing that all the wood products here were Burning, but Father Montserrat was nowhere to be seen, and there were more wood products on this steel-made Steam ship, Lumian turned around and said to Lugano, "Take me to Captain's Cabin."

"Okay." Lugano was obviously relieved.

As the two people left the prayer room, the red Flames inside quickly extinguished and stopped spreading.

Inside Captain's Cabin, Pedro, who had a nice brown beard, suddenly had a headache when he saw Great Adventurer Louis·Berri coming to him in person.

Being fairly experienced, he clearly guessed that there might be big trouble on the ship:

In the case of Divine Descent School, Great Adventurer Louis·Berri didn't even stay at the scene. He just sent a servant to state the situation, and now, he came to visit in person!

What does this mean?

It means there is a more serious problem!

"Father Montserrat has fallen and believed in Evil God." Before the captain could ask questions, Lumian said in a gentle voice, "He is probably an accomplice of Evil Warlock, 'Divine Descent School'."

Captain Pedro's mind seemed to have been hit with a stick, buzzing and going blank for a short time.

After a few seconds, he asked carefully, "Have you killed him?"

"Not yet." Lumian said truthfully, "He escaped from the prayer room and Concealment got up. You immediately shoot Telegram and report this matter to the Earth Mother'Church and Feynapotter governments. My servant will tell you more details."

Faced with Louis·Berri's commanding request, Captain Pedro showed no resistance and turned his attention to Lugano, listening to his statement from Convert to Father Montserrat's own statement and the invisible baby in his arms.

After listening, Pedro said with a grimace, "I thought there was something wrong with Father Montserrat, but I didn't expect it to be such a serious problem."

"What's the problem?" Lumian asked.

Pedro sighed and said, "He is Divine Grace, which is the Beyonder of 'the earth' Pathway. The most orthodox Clergy. Under normal circumstances, there must be a Only with Blessed assistance can you do Mass, follow Sermon as a believer, and lead others to join Church, but not vice versa. But this time on the ship, he is the only one Divine Grace, and there is no Blessed to follow.

"I thought it was Sea-Praying Ritual that caused Church to be short of manpower at Santa Port, so I didn't care. Who knew that Father Montserrat actually fell..."

You must be assisted by Blessed to do Mass, to the believers Sermon... This time there is no Blessed to follow... I heard before that "Earth Mother" Church The orders and decisions issued by Divine Grace must be countersigned by at least one Blessed to be valid, otherwise they will be regarded as Evil God and Devil The product of Temptation...Evil God...That One"Great Mother"? This... combines the things of the past few days and the knowledge gained before, Lumian suddenly figured out why "Earth Mother" Church had two major systems, Divine Grace and Blessed, instead of merging them together:

"Magician" Lady of "Apprentice" Pathway said that she was sometimes influenced by That One Celestial Worthy, and she was not sure whether the inspiration she received was from Mr. "The Fool".

The same as "Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth" standing at the top of the three Pathway lines "Apprentice", "Seer" and "Thief", "Great Mother" should also be looking down at the existence of Pathway such as "Planter", "Apothecary" and "Villain".

Therefore, "Planter" and "Apothecary", the two Pathway's Beyonder, as Divine Grace, will also be affected by "Great Mother", and it is unclear where the inspiration comes from. Whether "Earth Mother" or "Great Mother" must be confirmed by Blessed that is not in these two Pathways. At the same time, Blesseds are also monitoring the status of Divine Graces!

So that's it... Sure enough, there are very deep and serious reasons behind this seemingly absurd, wasteful, and unreasonable system design... Lumian said no more, and said to Captain Pedro: "Send it to Telegram."

After the captain reported the situation of Father Montserrat to the Feynapotter government and "Earth Mother" Church, Lumian began to think about how to find out the problem of Father Montserrat.

Unless the other party has "Teleportation" abilities or is good at Seabed activities, there will definitely be no way to escape from the ship in this vast Sea, and you can only Concealment it in a certain corner.

Lumian is not going to ask Major Arcana for help with such a trivial matter, but is prepared to find a solution on his own:

"Use the loudspeaker on the ship to insult 'Great Mother', Provocation Father Montserrat, and let him jump out on his own?

"When the target cannot be locked, it is difficult to use the 'Provocation' ability in a targeted manner, and the effect may not be good...

"Burn all the wood products on the ship? This is the last option. After all, many cargo boxes are made of wood...

"Looking for Franca to borrow a bottle of 'Prophecy Potion'? This requires fresh Corpse, and since I've already asked Franca, just ask her to 'Magic Mirror Divination'..."

"Blow 'Hateful Movement'Bone Flute, let the passengers plug their ears in advance? But this only reduces the damage, not eliminates the impact...

"Well, let's ask Ludwig if he remembers Father Montserrat's breath...

"Also... yes, you can try this too!"

Lumian quickly came up with several solutions, decided to try them one by one, and finally asked for help.

He bid farewell to the captain and took Lugano with him, taking advantage of the thick darkness of night, to return to Suite's room First Class.

"Do you remember Father Montserrat's breath?" Lumian asked Ludwig.

Ludwig shook his head:

"No direct contact."

"Okay." Lumian turned around and said to Lugano with a smile, "I want to do an experiment. Please cooperate."

"What experiment?" Lugano was suddenly frightened.

Lumian pointed out the window:

"Go to the deck, it's more open there."

Lugano uneasily went down to the deck that was shrouded in Crimson Moonlight, and saw his employer pulling out a Silver-White and Full-Body Armor from "Traveler’s Bag", and then showed an unknown smile to himself.

Lumian remembers that the description of "Pride Armor" states that he particularly hates the "earth" and the items of "Evernight" Pathway.

What if it is not an item, but the corresponding Beyonder?

How will it react?

Will it rely on this hatred to directly lock on Father Montserrat who is at least "Doctor" within a certain distance?

Lumian is not sure about this, and plans to test it first with Lugano, which is also the "earth" Pathway Beyonder.
