I Have a Sailing Game

Chapter 503 - 297: Hei Attendant, Visit from the Natural Church (Double-Length)

Today, she didn’t feel like staying in the cabin. She wanted to bask in the sun.

Coincidentally, the others were mostly in their own rooms either meditating or visualizing.

A moment later, she looked at Rogel with some confusion.

"Big bad guy, where’s that black stone you had earlier? Did you throw it away?"

Iya noticed that Rogel hadn’t taken out that black stone for some time.

She thought the big bad guy really liked that black stone.

"..." Rogel was momentarily stunned upon hearing this but then realized she was referring to the Illusory Black Stone. He shook his head and said, "No, how could I have thrown it away?"

Saying this, he took out the Illusory Black Stone from his Item Inventory.

At this moment, the eerie starry pattern on the Illusory Black Stone was increasingly spreading.

The Illusory Black Stone was actually the embodiment of Uvie Muzhe’s body.

And such a situation naturally meant that Uvie Muzhe was being eroded by this unknown force.

Rogel had also tried to investigate the source and information of this power.

But that would require a massive amount of Power of Faith.

Even more than what was needed for Heisatan to ascend to a Demigod.

Starry Dragon City... it must have touched upon some dangerous secrets.

And his current power was not enough to access these.

Rogel could only silently pray in his heart for his old friend Uvie Muzhe.

To be honest, he hadn’t heard Uvie Muzhe’s voice in a long time...

Rogel sighed slightly.

...

During Gelin’s voyage.

A ship bearing the Green Church’s flag slowly docked at Scot Island’s port.

Surrounding this ship were several Black Tide Church warships, seemingly "escorting" it.

The Church represented by this Green Church flag was quite familiar.

Natural Church.

Located northeast of the Kizi Church’s Faith territory, it was an equally large Church whose doctrine could be summarized in one sentence: "Harmony between Man and Nature."

It sounds very beautiful and lofty.

But this is common among all Churches; their doctrines and beliefs always sound better than the last.

However, no one cares about that.

After the Natural Church’s ship docked, a group of people dressed in Believer Robes of the Natural Church quickly disembarked, led by a follower and accompanied by a tall knight.

Their attire was also quite distinctive.

The Believer Robe seemed to be woven from a soft plant material similar to palm leaves,

As for the Knight Armor, it was even more distinctive, made from hard deep-brown tree bark, appearing to be both sturdy and heavy.

Soon, people from the Black Tide Secret Society met with those from the ship, and both sides exchanged polite greetings.

At this point, everyone learned each other’s names.

The two leading figures from the Natural Church were a believer named Mu Weiji and a knight named Mo Teng.

As for the person receiving them... his name was Fernar.

"Since you are envoys from afar, please follow me to rest for a while,"

Fernar, at the forefront, said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the tall knight of the Natural Church, Mo Teng, furrowed his brow under his faceplate and leaned slightly forward as if wanting to say something.

However, Mu Weiji, beside him, spoke first: "Alright, please lead the way."

Fernar smiled and nodded.

Soon, the group followed him into Scot Island.

Throughout the journey, the people from the Natural Church kept their eyes wandering around, taking this opportunity to observe everything on Scot Island.

Moreover, both Mu Weiji’s and Mo Teng’s clothes had dim green spots that, upon closer inspection, were actually small eyes.

They seemed to be recording the scenes viewed by those eyes.

Fernar, who had been observing them, remained very calm about this.

Their arrival had been permitted by Archbishop Sharo, and so were these activities.

Otherwise, these people wouldn’t dare to act wantonly.

...

At the same time, Sharo was discussing this matter with Rogel.

"The conflict between the Natural Church and the Kizi Church has been ongoing for a long time; they are so eager to tear each other apart, that the small dispute with us can almost be ignored."

Thinking of this, Rogel couldn’t help but chuckle.

Back in Magrela, he had even wiped out a fleet of the Natural Church, so strictly speaking, they were enemies.

But the Natural Church’s purpose for coming this time surely wasn’t revenge; otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent two Apostle Tier individuals.

Upon hearing this, Sharo pondered: "So their aim is to ally with us?"

Rogel nodded: "Exactly, that must be their main goal. Before we captured Scott, they looked down on us, but now the situation is different. In their eyes, we pose a certain threat to the Kizi Church."

"This is a welcoming sight for them, which is why they sent people to establish contact with us. I even suspect that if our situation becomes dire, they might offer us a helping hand."

Rogel couldn’t help but smile at this point.

In fact, Sharo had long before sent people to contact the Natural Church, right before the attack on Scot.

But clearly, the message sank into the sea; the Natural Church had no regard for the Black Tide Secret Society at that time, giving no response.

Now, the Black Tide Secret Society is not what it used to be. After occupying Scot, it poses enough trouble for the Kizi Church.

This is enough for the Natural Church.

As long as the Black Tide Secret Society continues to pose a threat to the Kizi Church, the pressure they face would undoubtedly lessen significantly.

The Natural Church might even support the Black Tide Secret Society to some extent to ensure its existence, making the situation favorable for them.

Thus, envoys have been sent over.

Rogel chuckled lightly: "However, their intentions should extend beyond just ’alliance.’"

"I suspect they also harbor a notion of ’submission’."

Upon hearing this, Sharo furrowed her brows.

Indeed, from the perspective of the Natural Church, having an emerging force causing trouble at their old adversary’s back is certainly advantageous.

If they can bring it under their legendary control, it would undoubtedly be optimal.

After all, if they don’t ’submit’ the Black Tide Secret Society, then while the Natural Church profits from the war, the Black Tide Secret Society would inevitably grow stronger.

No one would like a new opponent to emerge after the demise of their old adversary.

"In any case, we can ally with them, but we must disabuse them of some ideas early on."

"How to proceed specifically will depend on your thoughts."

After saying this, Rogel paused, his tone becoming serious.

"By the way, it’s best not to let them know about the Secret Society’s systems, at least not now, understand?"

Be it strength or any other information.

Rogel didn’t fear being known by the Natural Church.

However, before his strength was enough, he had no intention of letting the belief system of the Secret Society leak out.

Because it was digging up the roots of the traditional Churches.

Some smart people could quickly figure out the key points within.

If other Churches got wind of it, the Black Tide Secret Society would have big trouble.

Therefore, they would conceal it as long as they could.

"I understand."

Sharo nodded solemnly. She also understood the key here, so she had given instructions to those dispatched to receive them.

...

Scott Street.

Under Fernar’s guidance, Mu Weiji and Mo Teng from the Natural Church had already walked through parts of the Scott Region.

The scenes along the way left them somewhat amazed.

The reason being, there were simply too many believers encountered along the way!

Practically every two steps, they’d encounter one.

However... none of these people emitted the slightest Extraordinary aura.

They seemed merely to be dressed like believers?

Seeing this situation, they exchanged glances, seeing the doubt in each other’s eyes.

What a joke, how could a new emerging Church make so many people become believers in such a short time?

Is your Church turning Gold Coins into Silver Coins to make people so fond of it?

As if sensing their thoughts, the Black Tide Believer leading them coincidentally stopped at this moment, turning to them with a smile and saying:

"So, dear guests from afar of the Natural Church, as you can see, our Black Tide Secret Society’s faith has already spread throughout Scott."

"The island’s populace all take pride in the belief of the Black Tide."

This Black Tide Believer stated with considerable pride, his expression mixed with some arrogance.

Hearing this, Mu Weiji and Mo Teng exchanged glances again.

A glint of understanding flashed in their eyes.

They understood.

A moment later, Mu Weiji politely offered a few words of praise.

Meanwhile, Mo Teng let out a quiet scoff, showing an expression of disdain.

They both seemed to have seen through the ridiculous facade of this new Secret Society.
