Waves swept in, and on the blue sea, a few seagulls occasionally soared by, and in the distance there was an endless horizon.

"Father Normanda."

On the deck of the ship, a middle-aged man dressed in a priest's robe who looked to be in his forties and fifties was silently praying. When he heard someone call him, he turned his head.

Behind him stood an oriental youth. And the young man was dressed in aristocratic clothes, and his appearance was so handsome that it could be called a work of art, like a darling of God, enough to make any woman go crazy.

"It's the tenth day of sailing, and you're not used to life at sea, Father?"

"After all, it was the first time I had gone to sea to preach with Mr. Northfield." Father Normanda smiled slightly, and said, "However, it seems that the glory of the Lord has blessed us, and the voyage has been quite smooth." ”

"I'm convinced of that, too."

"Mr. Northfield, I heard that your father once went to sea with Magellan?"

"Yes, my father has been with Magellan since 1519 in opening new routes." The young man named Northfield said: "It is a pity that Magellan died after only two years. ”

In the early 16th century, during the Age of Discovery, Portugal and Spain began to explore new routes to the East, and Portugal and Spain had been maritime powers until the Spanish Armada was defeated by England in 1588. Magellan was a representative of this period, a Portuguese who began his voyage in 1519 and later entered the Pacific Ocean in 1520, opening up what became known as the "Strait of Magellan". But in 1521 he died in an accident.

"After Magellan's death. My father continued to follow his fleet. Until access to the Indian Ocean. and completed the voyage in 1522. I was just a babbling child. ”

"Opening up new routes has made it more convenient for us to spread the glory of the Lord and sweep away those heretics, both Ling Zun and Magellan are great people."

Today, their voyage is the same voyage that Magellan once traveled, sailing in the Pacific Ocean.

"But......" said Northfield, in a low voice, "Father." This voyage is not just about spreading the glory of the Lord, is it? ”

Northfield's words can be said to hit the nail on the head at once.

Father Normanda raised his head and looked at the sails of the ship that were blowing in the wind, and the scene of the sea and sky in front of him, and then said, "Yes. We are going to carry out the tasks that the Lord has given us. ”

"It was claimed that it was just an ordinary mission, but it was accompanied by you, Father Normanda, who was about to become a cardinal, and even for me and the bishop. The peculiarity of this voyage was out. This ship Asimerson is probably not ordinary. Our voyage this time. Could it be as bumpy as Odysseus? ”

Odysseus is a Greek mythological figure who, after the end of the Trojan War, was cursed by Poseidon and drifted at sea for ten years, during which time he encountered quite a few gods and monsters.

"The Lord has a deep meaning for himself. Where this ship will take us will soon be answered. Until then, Mr. Northfield, will he be patient and choose to trust the Lord? ”

As a priest who was about to be elevated to the rank of cardinal, Normanda was naturally an extremely devout believer.

Now, in 1542, the middle of the 16th century, the Age of Discovery is in full swing. Although Christianity experienced the impact of Martin Luther's Reformation, under the great influence of the Crusades and Christianity on Europeans, people still embarked on the road of seafaring missionary with fanaticism, so as to convert the so-called pagans into believers by any means.

The Asmison was created by the Holy See and is a missionary ship dedicated to the Holy See. However, this is the maiden voyage of this ship. The people on board were almost all Christians.

Or...... Can I guess? ”

Northfield slowly reached out and stroked a ring on his finger.

"It's about 'demons'...... Right? ”

As soon as these words came out, although Father Normanda's expression did not change, his hand still trembled slightly.

"On this ship, it should be all the people who have been put on the 'blacklist' by the Holy See. This ship itself is just a cage. ”

Father Normanda shook his head, "Mr. Northfield......"

"I'm sorry if it upsets you."

At this moment, the waves suddenly crashed violently, and the waves splashed so high that they almost spilled on the priest.

Eventually, Father Normanda said slowly, "Do not tempt the Lord. Mr. Northfield, you must not go beyond what you are supposed to do. ”

"I know. Like you, I am a servant of the Lord. More than anyone else, I desire to spread the glory of the Lord on this land. ”

Night, coming.

There were many people sitting around a long dining table, and Northfield, with another woman, was empty.

"Phil......" the woman whispered to Northfield, "why hasn't the Bishop come yet?" ”

"It's been rushed. Maybe he's a little seasick. ”

"My lord! No...... Oh no! ”

The crowd, who were preparing a meal in the cabin, watched one of the servants stumble out and said in a panic, "Your Excellency...... It's gone! ”

"What did you say?" Northfield immediately stood up.

On this ship, there was a person missing.

That man's name was Nitlet, and he was the current cardinal of the Holy See!

After more than an hour, everyone had almost searched the Asmisen, but they couldn't find their Bishop!

"Why did the Bishop disappear?"

"What are you kidding, this is a big deal!"

The cardinal of the dignified Holy See disappeared during the voyage, and no one was born, no one died, and no body was seen! How can you face the wrath of the Holy See when you go back like this?

And no one can be found, so the most plausible explanation seems to be...... Lord Bishop, I'm afraid I'm afraid I've sunk into the waters of the Pacific Ocean!

So, did someone kill the Bishop, or ...... The Bishop committed suicide by jumping into the sea?

Ye Xiang opened his eyes at this moment.

"What a weird dream ......"

Just now, he dreamed that in 1542, the Asmisen went to sea.

"What's going on...... Ye Xiang stroked his forehead: "It's the same as what Ilna said, Asmisen!" Is this a coincidence? Or was it because I had such a dream after listening to her? ”

A qiē is full of weirdness.

Ye Xiang naturally couldn't sleep anymore.

However, this dream still reveals a lot of information.

The Asmeson incident is that Nitlaire has become a demon from a revered and high-ranking cardinal, and may even be promoted to the status of a cardinal in the future!

Ten days after sailing, Nittelaire disappeared from the ship.

The ancestor of Northfield has exactly the same appearance as the Marquis, and the woman next to him has the same appearance as Yushuo, obviously the ancestor of Adam and Irna. And what does the so-called "blacklist" mean? Obviously, before the Asmethan, there was a very important event. This voyage was deliberately arranged by the Holy See.

Demon......

At that time, had the Holy See already begun to notice the existence of demons?

The Black Death, which had been ravaging Europe hundreds of years before the seafarings, created the evil undead vampire, and the Northfield family first saw vampire in Strasbourg. Something must have happened in these hundreds of years, and then caused Nittelaire to be tempted by demons, from a human being, to the demon king he is now!

And after the voyage of the Asmisen, the Holy See completely banished the Northfield family, what is the reason for this? Thinking of the lies told by Ilna, it is not difficult to make people have such a conjecture. Could it be that the Northfield family is not a family of gods at all, but a heretic who have believed in demons since the beginning? And is that why they are haunted by demonic curses?

Just when Ye wanted to wipe the sweat from his forehead and decided to continue sleeping, he suddenly raised his head.

A grim white face was hanging upside down, staring at him deadly! (To be continued......)
