1082 Sudden Turn of Events (2/2)
”How can I be happy to steal your ear...” When the pirate saw his leader open the door, he quickly asked.
The pirate leader had originally wanted to chide the other party for secretly drinking, resulting in his incoherence. However, when he looked up, he saw that his subordinate's mouth and his surroundings were filled with golden grains. Even the surface of his tongue was covered in dense clusters.
The pirate leader's scalp tightened as he felt a numbing chill run down his spine.
At this moment, the door across the corridor opened as well. A pirate shouted with a sobbing tone, ”Oh no! Boss, I-I have a lot of mushrooms growing there!”
As he spoke, the pirate ran out.
At the same time, he felt his eyes itch. He raised his hand and rubbed his right eye.
As he rubbed his eyes, a green vine slowly grew out from the gaps between his eye socket and his eyeball. There was a dark red grape at the end of it.
The flesh around the grape was a blur.
The pirate leader's body froze when he saw this. He asked in a voice that didn't belong to him, ”What... did you guys encounter...”
While rubbing his eye, the pirates who didn't notice the problem said without any recollection, ”A pole-like shadow struck me!”
”W... Ye You...” The pirate whose tongue was covered in golden wheat echoed.
He was blocked by his leader and didn't see his fellow crew member's terrifying appearance.
The pirate leader's legs began to shake uncontrollably. He instinctively turned around and ran out of the cabin.
At this moment, he saw a long wall that looked like a shadow from a pole rapidly sweep towards him before lashing out at him.
The shadow flashed and soon disappeared. It was as though it was a surreal nightmare.
The pirate leader was just a beat slower before he subconsciously raised his hand to block. This was obviously not effective.
Then, he looked at himself in panic and didn't find anything unusual.
Thankfully, thankfully...” The pirate leader couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Before he could finish, he suddenly heard a slightly muffled voice:
Thankfully, thankfully...”
This voice seemed to come from his body!
The pirate leader's pupils dilated to the extreme as he involuntarily lifted up his clothes.
He then saw three cracks appear between his chest—one big, two small.
Two rows of white teeth were neatly arranged in the large crack, and in the middle of the small crack were two lively and nimble eyeballs embedded in them.
It was a mouth and two eyes!
The pirate leader had a mouth and two eyes on his chest!
”No!
A scream rang out from the boat, filled with indescribable terror.
In the next fifteen minutes, some of the pirates went mad and killed their companions. Some successfully escaped back to their own ship, only to discover that the people on it had also turned mutated. Hence, they jumped into the sea in despair.
By the time everything calmed down, there were only about ten normal pirates slumped on the deck and hiding in their rooms. There was a stench around them.
After a while, passengers came out of the cabin one after another.
They looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief. They either thanked the gods or stood there in a daze.
It was early in the morning. Klein got out of bed and began to wash up.
Just as he was changing his clothes with the help of his valet, Enuni, he saw Butler Walter, who had just returned from a leave of absence, walk to the door and say, ”Sir, Bishop Elektra is here to pay a visit.”
”...Let him wait for me in the activity room where he can enjoy a cigar.” Klein hesitated for a moment before saying.
He suspected that this was a late response from the Goddess.
Walter immediately turned around and went downstairs to make the arrangements. Before long, he returned and said, ”Sir, Bishop Elektra has already bade farewell and left. He wanted me to tell you that you must go to Saint Samuel Cathedral in the morning. He said that the Church and the government are going to hold an air-raid drill together.”
”Air-raid drill?” Klein frowned.
At that moment, his spiritual perception was triggered. He turned around and looked out the window.
In the air, there were rows of dark brown-colored airships approaching.
These airships had slanted patterns of red, white, and yellow emblems. This was the flag of Feysac!
Upon seeing this scene, Klein suddenly understood what he had overlooked.
War might not be initiated by the Loen Kingdom!
An ancient and hidden organization definitely had very high-ranking members in other countries. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to affect the world's situation!
