Chapter 6: Departure

  Chapter Six: Setting Out

  The next morning, Peshu woke up with the first ray of sunlight. Although he had been thinking deeply until late at night, his biological clock still made him get out of bed early. Similarly, Kate, also an elite member of the church, got up early as well. They were always punctual and disciplined within the church, never staying up late or sleeping in. After getting up early and finding himself not in the church with nothing to do, Peshu simply sat down on the spot to meditate. Having meditated for a while, he couldn't sit still anymore and went out for a stroll.

  The place where they are is a good scenic spot, and Perseus has not seen the scenery all the way, now he has nothing to do, so he goes to the seaside to see the sea.

  Perseus had seen the sea, but that was from the island's perspective. From the mainland's perspective, it was a different view. On a small transit island below the central continent, looking out at the sea surrounded by the ocean on all sides, there was a feeling of being enveloped in blue, with everything about to be submerged. Standing on the mainland, however, the sea was in front, the shore beneath his feet, and although the waves were raging furiously ahead, taking a step back revealed a vast expanse of sky and sea.

  Perseus likes the latter feeling. No matter how strong the wind and waves are outside, as long as he takes a step back, there will be warmth in his home. His home is the church.

  Perseus leaned on the railing of the dock, gazing at the sun that had already risen and its reflection in the vast ocean. His thoughts also gradually fell into reminiscence. Every morning around this time, he would watch the sunrise on the Central Continent, then head to a small island for a transfer and gaze out at the sea. Whenever he looked out at the sea, his mind would wander aimlessly, sometimes even he himself didn't know what he was thinking about.

  This land and he have a deep connection, he has lived here since childhood, later even though he was taken away by Oliviera, but the more emotions he owns for this land are still nostalgia. Yes, Perseus considers himself as a Spuvesian, a Spuvesian in the church. Home is in the church, roots are in Spuvesia.

  "What are you thinking about?" A male voice came from behind, Persephone was slightly stunned, and only then remembered the owner of this voice - Carrel, that young leader, also the royal member who controlled everything in Kate's speculation.

  "I'm watching the sea." Perseus replied truthfully, "and thinking about some things at the same time."

  "Are... you a Spurwesen?" Carrel walked over, turned his head, saw Perse's gaze and asked tentatively.

  "Yes," said Perseus, and then thought that what he had said was not quite accurate, so he added, "Or rather, no... um... I mean, it can be said to be."

  Carly's interest was piqued and she asked, "What did you say?"

  Perseus looked at the sea with an expressionless face and said, "I once stayed here for a long time, then went to the church. Although I wasn't born here, it can also be said that I spent my childhood here."

  "What's the meaning of this?" Carlyle asked.

  "What? How did you know?" Perseus hastily turned his head to ask, Carrel smiled faintly and said: "Your golden imprint, it's absolutely not appearing for no reason. I'm afraid it's the church's deliberate cultivation."

  “……” Perseus was momentarily at a loss as to what Carlyle meant by his words. Carlyle continued smiling and said, “I'll give you a hint. You said you grew up here and then went to the church. The Tashrom Church has an agreement with our country that prohibits them from arbitrarily moving our citizens, but they quietly took you away, which suggests two things: one, your potential is extraordinary; two, you probably don't have this country's nationality. I think what best reflects your extraordinary potential is your seal. So I'm guessing that you were taken to the church because of your seal.” Carlyle was both right and wrong in his guess. Perseus did indeed have extraordinary potential, which was evident even to ordinary people due to his seal. However, Olivira's intention was not what Carlyle had guessed.

  "No." Perse shook his head and said, "Although you guessed correctly, it's not like that. I was adopted by Uncle Olivira, ah, the Star Festival Priest. He raised me here until I awakened to my mark after which he brought me back to the church."

  "Star Festival Priest?" Carrel thought for a moment, then looked at Perse with a somewhat pitiful gaze. "You said you awakened to your crest and went to the church? You've only been in the church for a few years, yet you're already able to carry out missions alongside the next captain of the Radiant Knights."

  "Ah, it's been about ten years, I suppose. I was five when I entered the church, seven when I started carrying out tasks, and ten when I began going on big missions outside... now I think I'm qualified to be Kate-senpai's deputy." Perush was indeed a natural airhead, and with just one set of words from Carrel, she had spilled everything. Fortunately, Carrel didn't have any malicious intentions towards Perush.

  "Five years old, went to the church, five years... awakening seal?" Carlyle was somewhat astonished. "Were you born with a golden seal?" Without waiting for Percy's response, Carlyle knew it couldn't be true - how could someone just born have a seal? So he changed his words: "I mean, after waking up."

  "I remember it like that, the Divine Bird also said I seemed to be very powerful," Perseus said. "By the way, the Divine Bird is a friend of mine on this continent, but I don't know where he went."

  "Divine bird... divine bird." Carly's face changed with the wind and clouds, but unfortunately Perseus had already turned his head around and was no longer looking at Carly, instead gazing out at the rising and falling of the sea.

  "Is it Pechux?" Carlyle asked suddenly.

  "Yes." Perseus replied.

  "Interesting, very interesting," Carly said in a low voice. "Perseus, they'll be waking up soon too, we should get going." Perseus turned around and said, "Alright." Then he bid Carly a brief farewell and returned to his own room. Kate was still lost in thought, but after Perseus woke her up, the two of them prepared to set off.

  "It's interesting, too interesting." Carlyle was still muttering to himself by the sea, "'Stellar Alliance' wants to play what card? What is the purpose of 'Tian Chengzhi' coming here? Can't guess, can't guess. Is it to help Yifaner Sai or to muddy the waters, or... Tsk tsk, the church also joins in, this continent is really chaotic enough, and Spuweisai still claims to dominate the entire continent..."

  "There really is a feeling of being swept under the rug, isn't there?" Carlyle clenched his fists tightly. "Is Spewitz just a fattened pig waiting to be slaughtered? The sharp fangs of Spewitz are always ready... Do you want to taste the thrill of blood splattering everywhere, you guys who are staring at me like tigers... Really think you can force me... to draw flowers?"

  "Carlyle, let's go." Isul pulled Carlyle's sleeve, and Carlyle nodded, following Isul to their carriage.

  Perseus and others had already been waiting here, Carlyle swept his eyes over the crowd.

  "Time to depart, everyone," Carlyle said, "don't leave your things here, it won't be easy to find them later."

  After getting everything in order, we finally set off.

  Perseus was also deeply moved in his heart, although he had done many tasks before, but the task of escorting others was the first time he did it. The tasks he did before were all about dealing with some rioting demons and collecting some small thieves. In this world, there are no longer any powerful demons, and most demons have disappeared from this world, leaving only a few slightly capable demons that are slightly stronger than beasts.

  Those tasks are not easy, but they will not be difficult to complete either. However, this task is going to be a problem. According to Kate's reasoning, the enemies they will encounter will not be the main force of the opposing faction, but they should not be underestimated either. For the two of them, protecting themselves and not becoming a burden in battle is the most daunting task. As for helping... using all the buff magic would be enough.

  Kate analyzed the hostile forces, and according to the current enemies of the Spuweise royal family, she made a rough guess. However, without exception, each force was incredibly powerful, and if it were a weak force, it wouldn't be worthy of being an enemy of the Spuweise royal family. Speaking of enemies, the first one is the Prime Minister of their own country, Yovansai ?? Qiu Ya. He is an old fox who has been pretending to be harmonious with the current emperor for many years, and now that the emperor is critically ill, he can finally take advantage of this opportunity to show off his skills. As a result, the remaining princes and princesses in the royal family all have obvious hostile relationships with him.

  Next is the Visian Empire, a country that faces Spuvic across the sea. The relationship between the two countries is very complicated, sometimes good and sometimes bad. Decades ago, they were as close as brothers, but now they are at odds with each other. If there's an opportunity to ambush the royal family of Spuvic and make them suffer a great loss, the Visian Empire would be more than happy.

  Of course, Kate had also considered the possibility of it being the Tholomew Church, but she had ruled it out afterwards. Although the Tholomew Church was powerful, it wasn't invincible, and if they were to interfere with the internal affairs of Spervisia, it would be fine as long as no one found out. But once the news spread, the allied forces of the three continents would probably annihilate the Tholomew Church. And when that happened, without the Tholomew Church's restraint, the continent would inevitably fall into chaos. Despite the possibility being extremely low, Kate still listed it as her lowest-ranking backup answer for reference. Although this option had been ruled out based on current circumstances, it didn't mean that future discoveries couldn't support this claim and revive it again.

  The horse carriage moved forward, the five people sitting in it each had their own thoughts and were unusually silent. The coachman on the front horseback was very puzzled: why didn't the people inside the carriage speak, day and night like a bunch of dead men?

  At this rate, it will take only three more days to reach Anlu Town. A few people took a shortcut and went ahead, while the capital of Spuweis is closer to the coast, so it won't take more than ten days to arrive. This is still by horse-drawn carriage, if riding a fine horse at full gallop, it will probably be even faster.

  Of course, the royal family's mounts are naturally demon beast horses. Even a small team that is just a diversion can enjoy this treatment. Otherwise, if they ride ordinary low-grade horse breeds, it would be better to ride vehicles from the already eliminated mechanical civilization.

  "Is that all there is to today?" Perseus thought, freed from his contemplative state, but he immediately negated his naive thoughts - Carrel was silently gazing ahead, his eyes filled with malice.

  "What's wrong?" Perseus asked, noticing Carlyle's unfavorable gaze. The two of them had spoken before, so Perseus opened his mouth to ask.

  Carly turned her head and said faintly to Perseus: "If I were the enemy, I would ambush in that valley ahead, and..."

  Rumble rumble!!!!!!

  Accompanied by a sound like thunder echoing in the valley, Perseus's auditory nerves were shocked.

  "Master Kian, it's yours," Carlyle said. Kian nodded solemnly and pulled open the door curtain, walking out.

  Rolling boulder, Carlyle hasn't finished yet. What kind of energy does a rolling boulder have when it rolls down from dozens of meters high? Perseus wasn't clear, but for him, he absolutely couldn't withstand such a powerful force.

  "Senior Kate!" Persephone hastily turned her head and called out to Kate, but did Kate need reminding? She directly threw out two or three blessing spells. Master Jian didn't have the Seal of Justice, so he didn't receive any amplification from the added effects, thus only his strength and speed increased a bit, which for him felt like no change at all.

  "Drink!" Kian Master roared, his body bursting out with a purple aura. Kate and Perseus were both stunned for a moment, before Kate stuttered: "Cra...crazy warrior?"

  Berserker is an earth attribute magic, of course, before the method of using this magic was studied, Berserker was also a bloodline. Even if you don't know magic, as long as people with this bloodline can burst out the combat power of Berserker. This magic can give people unmatched strength, but because people's minds are not concentrated in a state of frenzy, the ability to use chant-type magic will be weakened under this state. However, the power of battle magic will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.

  "Kian Master is a fire-type magician, and his seal is naturally 'fierce'. He can't do the magic of Berserker." Carrel said, looking at the two shocked gazes, he smiled slightly and continued to explain: "Of course, he's not from the Berserker bloodline either. Have you seen that purple-black fist套 on him? That's his magical tool, which seals a 'Berserker' magic inside. When needed, just activate it."

  At this time, Master Jian's hands were burning with a fierce blood-red flame. Every punch he threw shattered a huge boulder, and the fragmented rocks didn't fly everywhere, but were pushed far away by the scorching high-temperature air wave. Master Jian was shattering the rolling stone from the side, so he wouldn't collide head-on with it, thus dissipating the powerful force of its impact.

  Kian is really strong. Perse couldn't help but feel a sense of awe, and suddenly he seemed to realize something, turning his head towards Isul. Did Senior Kate say that this girl was the strongest among them?

  Today, I suddenly found that the author below has something to say, but I'm used to putting the dividing line in the main text, so I'll just say it here. Anyway, I don't get paid either way, so it's all the same to me. Personally, I think it's more convenient to put it here.

  Yesterday, playing Trinity was so tiring. This game is such a hassle, sometimes you get stuck on a small level for an hour without any progress. I reluctantly closed it to update... then I searched on Baidu and found out that the first boss, that big snake, isn't supposed to be killed by slashing but by triggering a mechanism to crush it. What a rip-off!

  This chapter's update is quite short, maybe I'm tired too. Zero has not been as fierce as before, but I think you can be sure that there will always be 3,000 words or more. An update with less than 3,000 words doesn't count! Zero promises to the small number of readers that every day's two updates will have more than 3,000 words. If I become a god in the future, the lower limit will change to 4,000, 5,000 or even more!

  Also, a friend advised me to go to bed early, but some things are really hard to come by, high-intensity updates are really exhausting...

  PS: The grades are terrible, it's a western fantasy that nobody likes, or there is no ignition point yet, the ignition point and tear point are all in the back, just hope you can keep reading...
