Chapter 180: An Offer from Demon

Translator: Kris_LiuEditor: Vermillion

When the apprentices thought everything was fine, another round of risk immediately arrived.

At this time, since the storm was almost gone, casting any spell could be very risky. Lucien and the apprentices were back in the dilemma again.

Lucien gently patted on his students’ shoulders one by one to comfort them. Grabbing Amboula in his hand, Lucien listened to the conversation carefully while thinking of the possible solution fast in his mind.

”Pastor Cody, it’s stinky down there.” Tom was still talking loud purposefully, ”There is no need for you, my lord, to do this. Please… Just enjoy the nice black tea in your own cabin and I can handle this for you, my lord.”

”Well, I’m still in training… You know, according to Church Law, you can’t call me lord right now yet.” There was an imperceptible smile on Cody’s face when he was saying this. He surely enjoyed Tom’s flattery, ”I appreciate your kindness, Tom, But you and your sailors can’t really tell where the divine power circles are really damaged. I gotta do this myself, sorry.”

Tom was the boatswain, a dark knight who served Viscount Wright. This was his identity known by the people on this ship. Although a dark knight could neither become a chief mate nor a captain, Cody still wanted to keep his basic respect toward the knight.

Hearing Cody’s words, Tom did not know what to say.

”All right. You two, Lohman and Boer… You two go that way. Jacques and Summy, you two that way.” Cody, a senior pastor in training, did enjoy giving commands a lot.

However, Tom knew that it would still take them some time before they found the room in the corner where Lucien and the apprentices were hiding.

Tom was sweating. He had horrible scenes flashing through his mind.

He could not let it happen. He could not let those horrible scenes really happen.

Tom was ready to take action. He was going to kill them all, and pretend that it was some murlocs hiding on the ship that killed them.

At this time, he felt someone gently touched his arm.

”…?!” Tom was beyond surprised when he saw Evans standing right beside him. Right now, Lucien was wearing a dirty sailor vest, and his face was covered with some paint marks just like the ones most sailors liked doing.

Lucien was looking down, with his head dropped.

Tom could not believe his eyes, feeling lucky that he did not burst Evans’ name out.

”Down there… very bad,” said Lucien in his pretended husky voice.

As he was saying, Lucien was secretly writing something down on Tom’s arm.

Cody did not feel anything wrong here. In his eyes, it was just a sailor who was reporting to Tom.

And there were so many sailors that Cody did not know on this ship. After all, pastor and sailor were of two totally different levels. They were not even close.

Tom, while trying to stay as calm as he could, sensed a short single word written on his arm.

”Jacques…?” Tom thought to himself, but he did not really get Lucien’s intention right away.

Lucien pulled Tom’s arm a bit toward the cabin, and Tom immediately realized, ”Let he go…?”

Tom asked Lucien in a very low voice. Lucien nodded seriously. He had this confidence that Tom would trust him. And Lucien’s confidence was right.

”Lord Cody, the bottom floor is where the fight just happened, and also the most damaged section. How about sending some people down there first to fix the major cracks? My man just told me that it’s pretty bad down there right now.” There was a flattering smile on Tom’s thin face.

”Umm…” Cody was a bit unsure. He did not really want to listen to a boatswain’s suggestion.

”You know… Maybe some more pastors will go down there as well later. Your work can definitely impress them.” Tom continued to persuade him.

And that was what Cody really cared. If Cody could get more attention from the higher-ranked pastors, he would certainly have a better chance to get promoted.

”I think you’re right, Tom. Can you help assisting the other pastors in training and squires check the upper cabins?” Cody quickly made the decision.

”For sure, my lord.” Tom hurriedly nodded before Cody changed his mind, and then he walked close to Jacques and said, ”Mr. Jacques, maybe we can go to check the cabins down there.”

Jacques was a good-looking, blond young man. His nose was straight and high, and his eyes were green.
