"Mr. Richard." Captain Figgis spoke out and said to Richard, "Now that you have seen the miracle, and you also admit that what I said makes sense, then come and pray with me. "
"By the way, this is for you." Captain Figgis said as he took off a string of dark red pendants from his body, handed them to Richard, and said generously, "I know you must have done this before There is no preparation, just take this! Poseidon Aia is a female Poseidon. It is said that she likes this kind of dark red pendant the most. If you wear it, even if you pray for the first time, you will definitely get her favor. .”
"Well, let me think about it again." Richard took a step back and shrugged without taking the pendant that Figgis handed him. "Belief is a big thing after all. I think it takes some time to think about it. , to make the final decision.”
"You-" Figgis was stunned and looked at Richard, a little anxious, as if "I have told you such an important secret, but you are playing with me like this", wanting to continue to persuade Richard, Let Richard's elm-headed mind be enlightened, understand the greatness of Poseidon, and immerse himself in Poseidon's boundless glory.
Richard noticed Figgis's mentality and reminded him in time: "Captain Figgis, it seems that the 'Bernicla' is about to sail through the ocean front... um, the sea area dividing line."
"Ah!" Figgis reacted and turned around to see that the ship was indeed about to pass the boundary on the sea in front and enter a new sea area. He immediately gave up continuing to "enlighten" Richard, turned around, and lay low on the deck.
…
"Huhuhu..."
"Crash..."
The sea breeze was blowing and the waves were undulating. The bow of the Bernicla sailed through the ocean front little by little and entered the light blue water.
On the deck of the Bonicla, a large number of people were lying low, with almost their entire bodies pressed against the deck. Along with the captain Figgis shouted: "To the greatest ocean goddess Aia, I offer my most sincere tribute." prayer.”
Immediately, all the people on the deck who were lying low began to shout and began to pray. While praying and kowtowing, the deck made a "bang bang" sound, and the ship made a "squeaking" sound under the action of resonance.
This kind of prayer lasted for most of the time, and two sailors stood up. It was Mousse and Peak who were responsible for carrying out the sacrifices. The two people walked to the table on the side of the deck, swallowed their saliva, and threw the sacrifices on the table into the sea.
"Great Poseidon Aiya, please keep me safe... Gudong!"
"The great sea goddess Aiya, your glory will always shine on me. Please enjoy the food we offer, bless us poor believers, and let us always be accompanied by luck... Gudong!"
…
The entire prayer activity lasted for more than half an hour before it ended. After it was over, the sailors got up and returned to their respective posts, adjusted the sails, pulled the yawing ship back to its original course, and sailed forward.
Captain Figgis stood up and walked to Richard. At this time, he had not completely given up the hope of preaching. He said slowly: "Mr. Richard, we have now entered a new sea area. We will arrive in about half a day." Port Moore.
When we arrive at Port Moore, we will be separated. If you want to believe in Poseidon by then, you won't have a wise guide like me! How about it, have you thought about whether you want to believe in Poseidon immediately? "
"Let me think about it again." Richard said aloud, looking at Captain Figgis to give advice, "How about this, Captain Figgis, if we have a chance to meet again next time, I will give you Accurate responses."
"Will there be a next time?" Although Captain Figgis is superstitious, he is not stupid. After listening to Richard's words, he looked questioningly, "The chance of us meeting next time will be very small, right?"
"But with Poseidon watching over each of us, what can't happen?" Richard asked Figgis, "If Poseidon is really kind, then when I decide to believe in them, they will definitely take care of me in time. It is only reasonable that such an excellent guide like you should be sent to me."
"This -" Captain Figgis was stunned, tilted his head and thought for a while, and couldn't help but agree, "It makes sense, Mr. Richard, what you said makes sense! Yes, since Poseidon is watching us, then as long as you decide Believe in Poseidon, we will definitely meet, so...goodbye?"
"goodbye."
Richard waved and watched the smiling Captain Figgis walk towards the captain's cabin.
When Captain Figgis walked into the captain's cabin, Richard turned around, looked at the sea in front of him, squinted slightly, and murmured: "Poseidon? Let's forget it. But we can reach Port Moore in the afternoon, which is a good idea." good news."
…
Port Moore.
Moore Port is located at the mouth of a large river in the Moore Plain. Richard followed the ship to this place, went ashore, and learned more information.
For example, the so-called Moor does not only refer to a special place - the Moorish Port is called Moor, the Moorish Plain is called Moor, and the Moorish Alliance that occupies the entire Moorish Plain is also called Moor - this is similar to the original White Stone Tower, they are all the same name, representing Refers to multiple existences.
Fortunately, the cat slave girl Heidi's letter contained the other party's detailed address, so it was not a case of being blinded. After landing, it took about three days for Richard to finally arrive in a carriage at the address of the cat slave girl Heidi.
After arriving at the place, Richard found that it was a rural village. It looked a bit backward, but the transportation was relatively developed and the environment was good.
Next to the large farmland of the village, a tall castle was built. It could be seen from a long distance away. It was obviously the place where Heidi's relatives were staying.
The moment he saw the castle, Richard couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly and found that the castle looked somewhat similar to the black castle that had been transformed into the clown's spiritual world.
Is it a coincidence? Or is it too sensitive
In a slightly strange mood, Richard walked closer to the castle.
…
"Da da da... da."
Richard stepped back and stopped in front of the gate of the black castle. He looked left and right, frowning slightly. The reason is very simple. The door of the castle in front of him is half open, but there is no one guarding the surroundings. Even if there is no attack in this countryside, this kind of defense is too lax.
In addition, without a guard, there would be no one to notify him. If he broke in so hastily, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't cause some trouble.
How to do that
After hesitating for a moment, Richard realized that no one really came out. He took a deep breath, tentatively opened the door of the castle and walked in.
When entering the castle, the first thing you see is a huge open space, which is covered with weeds and looks like it has not been taken care of for a long time.
At the end of the open space, a quaint main castle stood. There was no human voice coming from inside, giving people an eerie feeling, like a ghost castle.
After staring at the main castle for a while, Richard frowned even more tightly, and couldn't help shouting the next moment.
"Excuse me, is anyone here?"
The same words were shouted three times in a row, but there was no response except for continuous echoes.
this!
Richard's eyebrows rose, and he made a decision at the next moment. He walked quickly to the door of the main castle, opened the door with a "squeak" and walked in.
