"Mr. Richard. Captain Figes spoke up and said to Richard, "Now that you have seen a miracle, and you admit that I have a point, then come and pray with me." ”

"That's right, here's for you. As Captain Figes spoke, he took off a string of crimson pendants from his body, handed them to Richard, and said with a generous face, "I know, you must have been unprepared before this, you can take this with this! Aya is a female sea god, and it is said that she likes this crimson pendant the most, and if you wear it on your body, even if you pray for the first time, you will definitely get her favor." ”

"Well, let me think again. Richard took a step back, didn't take the pendant from Figgis, and shrugged, "Faith is such a thing, after all, it's a big deal, and I think it will take a while to think about it before I can make a final decision." ”

"You-" Figgis was stunned for a moment, looked at Richard, a little anxious, and looked like "I told you such an important secret, but you played this with me", and wanted to continue to persuade Richard, so that Richard, an elm with an open mind, understood the greatness of the sea god, and plunged into the boundless glory of the sea god.

Richard sensed Figes's state of mind and reminded him in time: "Captain Figes, it looks like the Bernicla is about to sail through the ocean front...... Well, the sea area is divided. ”

"Ah!" Feggis reacted, turning his head to see that the ship was indeed about to cross the boundary in front of him and enter a new sea. Immediately gave up continuing to "enlighten" Richard, turned around, and bowed down on the deck.

......

"Huhuhu......"

"Boom la la ......"

The sea breeze blows, the waves rise and fall, and the bow of the Bernicella sails little by little through the ocean front, into the light blue waters.

On the deck of the Bernicla, a large number of people bowed their bodies, almost their entire bodies attached to the deck, accompanied by the shouts of Captain Figes: "The most sincere prayer to Aya, the greatest goddess of the sea." ”

Immediately, all the people on the entire deck who were prostrate shouted and began to pray. While praying and kowtowing, the deck "banged", and the ships all made a "squeak" sound under the action of resonance.

This prayer continued for most of the time, and the two sailors stood up, the mousse and the pick, who had been in charge of carrying the sacrifices out. The two men walked to the table on the side of the deck, swallowed their saliva, and threw the offerings on the table into the sea.

"Great Aiya Seagod, please bless me in peace...... Boom!"

"Aya, the great goddess of the sea, your glory will always shine on me, please enjoy the food we have served, bless us poor believers, and let us always be with good fortune...... Boom!"

......

The prayer lasted for more than half an hour before it ended. When it was over, the sailors got up, returned to their respective posts, adjusted the sails, pulled the yawed ship back to its original course, and sailed forward.

Captain Figes stood up and walked to Richard's side, at this time he had not completely given up his missionary hope, and said slowly: "Mr. Richard, we have now entered the new sea, and we will reach Moore Harbor in almost half a day."

When we get to Port Moore, we will be separated, and when you want to believe in the sea god again, there will be no wise guide like me!

"Let me think about it again. Richard spoke up, looking at Captain Figgis giving advice, "Otherwise, Captain Figgis, I'll give you an accurate answer the next time we have a chance to meet." ”

"Will there be a next time?" Captain Figgis, although superstitious, was not stupid, and listened to Richard's words, showing a questioning gaze, "The chances of us encountering it next time will be very small, right?"

"But with the god of the sea watching over each of us, what can't happen?" Richard asked Figeis, "if the god of the sea is really merciful, then when I decide to believe in them, they will definitely send me such a good guide as you in time, it is reasonable." ”

"This-" Captain Figis was stunned for a moment, tilted his head and thought for a while, and couldn't help but agree, "That makes sense, Mr. Richard, what you said makes a lot of sense! Yes, since the god of the sea is watching us, as long as you decide to believe in the god of the sea, we will definitely meet, then ...... Goodbye?"

"Goodbye. ”

Richard waved his hand and watched the smiling Captain Figis walk towards the captain's room.

When Captain Figes walked into the captain's room, Richard turned around, looked at the sea in front of him, squinted slightly, and muttered, "Poseidon?" But it's good news that you can get to Moore Harbor in the afternoon. ”

......

Port Moore.

Moore Harbor is located at the mouth of a large river in the Moore Plains, and Richard followed the ship here, disembarked, and learned more information.

For example, the so-called Moore does not only refer to a special place - Moore Harbor is called Moore, Moore Plain is called Moore, and the Moorish Alliance that occupies the entire Moore Plain is also called Moore - this is similar to the original White Stone Tower, which is the same name, referring to a variety of existences.

Fortunately, in the letter of Heidi, a cat slave girl, there was a detailed address of the other party, so she was not blind. After going ashore, it took about three days for Richard to arrive in a horse-drawn carriage to the location where Heidi, the cat slave girl, was located.

After arriving at the place, Richard found that it was a rural village, which looked a little backward, but the transportation was quite developed and the environment was good.

A tall castle was built next to the village's vast farmland, visible from a distance, apparently where Heidi's relatives had taken refuge.

The moment he saw the castle, Richard's eyes couldn't help but squint slightly, and he found that the castle looked somewhat similar to the black castle that he had conjured up in the clown's mental world.

Is it a coincidence? Or is it overly sensitive?

With a slightly eccentric mood, Richard walked closer to the castle.

......

"Dada...... Click. ”

Richard stepped down, his body stopped in front of the gate of the black castle, looked left and right, and frowned slightly. The reason is simple, the door of the castle in front of him is ajar, but there is no one around to guard it, even if there will be no attacks in this country, such a defense is too lax.

In addition, without guards, no one would have reported it, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would not cause some trouble if he broke in so rashly.

So how?

After hesitating for a moment, Richard realized that no one had come out, took a deep breath, tentatively pushed open the door of the castle and walked in.

When you enter the castle, the first thing you see is a huge open space, which is overgrown with weeds, and it looks like it has not been taken care of for a long time.

At the end of the clearing, a quaint main castle stands, and no human voices come from it, giving people an eerie feeling, like a ghost castle.

Staring at the main castle for a while, Richard's brows furrowed even tighter, and the next moment he couldn't help but shout.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

The same words were shouted three times in a row, but there was no response except for a continuous echo.

This!

Richard's eyebrows were raised, and the next moment he made a decision, walked quickly to the door of the main fort, pushed the door open with a "squeak" and walked in.
