Chapter 172 Dawn Judgment!

"I thought they counted it wrong~ It turns out that two unruly guards actually sneaked out~"

Hearing this charming voice with a touch of coldness, Wei An's body froze. She wanted to shout again to let the blonde lady escape, but she couldn't say it as if the sea breeze was being poured back into her throat.

Her face was pale in the orange candlelight, and beads of sweat fell down her cheeks one after another. After a few seconds of silence, she opened her mouth with difficulty, "You, stay away from me, she, the first mate."

Wei En was startled for a moment, and then realized, was this actually said to him?

Was she worried that he would get too close, be implicated by her, and be punished by Claire?

"Ah……"

How unexpectedly kind, noble lady?

Wei En looked at her with some emotion. In comparison, the nobles of the Custer City State, well, the nobles headed by Count Ernst, were simply rubbish!

"Let's go!!"

Perhaps his laughter was too harsh in the silent Ronan, or perhaps it was despair and helplessness that made it difficult for her to maintain her aristocratic manner. Wei An clenched her fists and gritted her teeth and shouted.

The blond lady who was in the sea at this time felt anxious when she heard Wei'an's shout. She hugged the huge fin of a spiny fish and rushed towards the Ronan.

Damn it, someone on the ship must have discovered Wei An, not the terrifying Claire!

On the boat, Wei En couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the noble lady who was trembling slightly and could only lean on the statue of Lady Storm, but still reminded him to go away.

"Claire, did you scare your newly recruited guard? It seems she hasn't adapted to her new identity yet?"

Kind people are always easy to like.

However, if you want this kind-hearted noble lady to survive, you still have to think of a way.

Claire will not easily let go of someone who has offended her, unless his strength exceeds hers...

"So? Are you going to plead for her?" Claire stared at him charmingly, and walked straight over. The short skirt on her body rippled in the sea breeze, and the pair of crystal-white hanging clocks followed Ronan. The ups and downs of the horn stirred up waves.

"You, huh?!"

Wei En just glanced at it and quickly turned to the noble lady - the statue next to her.

What the hell, why do you feel that Claire is not a member of the Eternal Life Society, but an admirer of Vacuum Hometown?

I don’t even wear it to bed…

Well,

It seems that there is really no need to wear it.

He stared at the statue of Lady Storm without blinking, as if there was something about the blue fluorescent statue that attracted him, "You misunderstood, I just think your Queen's Guards still lack some necessary elements." thing."

"Lack?"

Claire's steps paused slightly, then she covered her mouth and smiled, "Captain, you haven't seen them yet, how do you know what they are missing? Or did you sneak into the bottom of the ship while I was away?"

captain?

who?

When Wei An next to her heard this title, she looked at Wei En blankly. Even the fear in her heart was dispelled. He was the young man with long red hair?

It's not like that...

No, now is not the time to think about this!

Wei An, you should be glad that he was not implicated by you, and you should think about how to keep Haisha away from this dangerous place in such a situation!

The corner of Wayne's mouth moved unconsciously, and he resisted the urge to look at Claire, and said expressionlessly: "...Can I understand it as - this is the reason why you arranged the isolation circle at the bottom of the ship. ?”

Claire walked around the statue of Lady Storm, ignoring the delicate noble lady, and straightened the clock with protruding and rotating hands confidently, "Of course! Just to prevent you, who has been to Basil Street and the Nightless City twice, , Captain!"

She deliberately put the emphasis on the word 'twice', as if she was determined to go to that place twice. The first time would be to visit the place, and the second time would definitely be to enjoy the service.

Wayne: "..."

Is she slandering?

When had he been to that place twice? Well, it was indeed twice.

Two visits to Basil Block, once to buy materials for making mechanical puppets, and once to clear out bone-eating insect parasites.

He visited the city that never sleeps twice, also purchased materials, and had no choice but to escape there with Old Seres.

It’s definitely all business!

"...I think your guards still lack some etiquette," Wayne decided to ignore Claire's 'slander' and said bluntly: "You don't want them, the members of the Queen's Guard, to be like you. So, um, unrestrained.”

The rushing clock and the exiled hands are like the undulating waves of the Cordo Sea.

"Restrained?" Claire stared at his eyes, as if she wanted to see through the truth in his heart. After a few seconds, she smiled, "Are you sure you are not trying to save this beautiful, generous, elegant noble lady?"

"of course not!"

Wei En noticed her gaze and secretly curled his lips inwardly. Sure enough, this smart woman was not that easy to fool.

In this case, don't blame me for using some unconventional means.

Talent fraud-psychological control!

What is the description of deceptive talent psychological control, which is to guide and change other people's emotions, decisions, beliefs and behaviors through words or body movements?

Wayne recalled the description of his innate ability and turned his head slightly to look into Claire's eyes.

In order to better utilize his deception talent, he also quietly converted his spiritual level to 10,000.

"But you can't deny that this lady is a noble, and the etiquette education she has received since childhood will make your Queen's Guards even better, isn't it?"

Claire's smile paused and her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was really thinking about the feasibility of his proposal, "But, even without her, can I find someone else?"

Hearing that this sentence was a question, Wei En secretly thought that there was something wrong. He looked at the still ignorant noble lady and said, "Madam, do you know your name and family?"

Wei An vaguely understood that this man was helping her, and whispered: "Sawyer family, Wei Anima Sawyer."

"She's from the Sawyer family... huh?"

When Wei En heard this somewhat familiar name, he looked at her uncertainly and asked, "Are you the one from the Northern Continent, the heir to the Sawyer family?"

He had seen this name when he read the newspaper before. It was said that Wei An led the family's fleet to the city-state of Andrea in the Kingdom of Chartland, and thus obtained the family's inheritance rights.

Why are you being hunted now and being rescued by Claire?

Wei An's face darkened, thinking of the previous encounter, her lips pursed slightly, "It's me."

"Look," Wei En snapped his fingers, "Isn't it good to have an heir from a big family as the etiquette instructor of the Queen's Guards?"

Heir to the nobility?

Claire's heart moved slightly, and the murderous intention in her heart slowly dissipated. A nobleman who can own a fleet with ocean-going capabilities is not a small nobleman.

Well, only such a status is worthy of her Queen's Guard.

"Well, regardless of whether your intention is to save her life or not, this queen accepts this proposal!"

Ben, this queen?

Wei En opened his mouth slightly and looked her up and down, left and right, how could this guy look like a queen at all?

"What~ Sir Captain, do you have any objection to her becoming the queen?"

"as long as you are happy."

Claire rolled her eyes at him charmingly, then chuckled at Wei An and said: "From today on, you are the etiquette instructor of the escort team! Of course, you can also choose to refuse!"

etiquette……

No need to become a puppet?

Wei An hurriedly shook her head, "I agree."

She knew what the consequences would be if she refused, and that both she and Heisha would die.

By the way, Haisa? !

boom!

At this time, the blond lady rushed to the deck holding the deep-sea fish that was more than twice her size, "Let her go!"

She had already seen Wei An being "controlled", and her face turned pale instantly. For the first time, she regretted such a reckless escape tonight. Maybe it would be better to wait two more days.

"Haisha," Wei'an shook her head anxiously when she saw her like this, "It's safe now. Lady Claire has agreed to let me serve as the etiquette instructor of the escort team. She will not harm us..."

"What?"

The blond lady Hesha was startled. Is it safe?

"She shouldn't be of any use, right?" Claire looked at Wayne and asked with a half-smile.

Now, what else do you have to defend?

"Don't you think an extraordinary person who dares to jump into the deep sea at night is very brave?"

Wayne looked at the controlled deep-sea fish. The dark green fish had barbs on its body, and its dorsal fin had a faint fluorescence, much like the ones he encountered under the sea.

But he was more concerned about the necklace on the blond lady's hand that exuded weak rune power. With his mental perception, he could see a faint line on the necklace connected to the deep-sea fish on the side.

That's the ability to control it?

It's more like a mechanical puppet control spell...

Claire also looked at the blond lady, "It seems so~ But it's not very useful. It's just used to vent your anger."

After saying this, she waved her hand, and several black rays of light emerged from the shadows on the side of the ship, turning into short black blades.

"Um?"

Before Wei En could say anything more, those black blades disappeared in a flash.

Bah! Bah!

Several weak sounds were heard, and the black blade chopped off the lively fish into several sections, and also cut off the two legs of the blond lady.

Plop.

The blonde lady had a look of astonishment on her face. Her two broken long legs could not support her body, and she fell on the deck together with the deep-sea fish.

"Haisha!!" Wei'an saw her appearance and ran over in a hurry. She had an extra bottle of magic potion in her hand and hurriedly fed it to her.

"I, I'm fine."

After Haisha drank the potion, she endured the severe pain, aligned her two broken legs, and then looked at the terrifying Thousand Faces.

At this moment, she experienced firsthand what kind of cruelty the rumored creature was like.

Wayne: "..."

He glanced at Claire helplessly. There were some changes, but not much.

"You make your own decisions about your people."

"Huh~huh?!" Claire was about to nod when her brows furrowed and her eyes became extremely cold.

"What's wrong?" Wei En noticed her look, wouldn't he change his mind?

Claire did not continue to take action as Wayne thought. Instead, she turned her head to look towards the stern of the ship and said in a solemn tone: "You seem to be in trouble, Captain."

"I?"

Wei En was startled and followed her gaze, looking overboard?

The mental perception detects in that direction, one kilometer, two kilometers... fifteen kilometers, there is nothing behind it?

Only a few faint lights could be seen on the sea in the distance. Even with the light of the red moon, it was still dark as far as the eye could see.

"What happened?"

"Someone is chasing me, he...damn it!"

Claire's expression changed again, a trace of astonishment and panic flashed in her bright and cold eyes, and her body fell motionless towards Wayne.

"Um?"

Wei En stretched out his hand to catch her, and felt that her body was as hot as fire. The temperature was like boiling water, which made him frown.

How is this going?

What attacked Claire?

"What happened?"

But no matter how he asked, Claire didn't answer. Her body began to become stiff and cold, and her eyes gradually became dull and dull.

As if already dead...

died? !

Wei En's eyes turned cold, how could that be possible?

[You are eroded by the power of Dawn Faith. Because your origin exceeds 300 and your spiritual level exceeds 5000, you are immune to the effects of the erosion. Rating: Dawn’s Faith, ugh. Special rewards: Survival Points +20, Origin +2, Spirit Level +2, Resilience Level +2. 】

The power of dawn faith? !

dawn--

He suddenly thought of Claire's reminder just now about his troubles... So, the Judgment Knight who was chasing him was here? !

"Damn it, mother, bah, this queen was almost killed by that old bastard."

Forehead? ?

Hearing this voice, Wayne suddenly looked towards the direction of the cabin, and saw Claire walking over cursing, and then lowered her head to look at... the man in her arms?

grass,

Wayne quickly threw away the person in his arms and glared at Claire angrily. He shouldn't doubt this damn woman's ability to escape.

It was the same thing last time. After being twisted into a mess by Alais and the others, she was able to come back to life in the theater.

"Don't look at me like that. If I hadn't prepared an extra puppet this time, you really wouldn't be able to see me~" Claire noticed his gaze, explained, and looked at the stern of the ship again, "Captain , you should still think about how to escape~"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a dazzling light rising in the distance, cutting through the darkness of the deep sea.

"That's..." Wei En looked at the light.

"The Grand Knight of Judgment of the Dawn Church, Huberto Watson!" Claire's face lost all charm and she said in a deep voice, "His strength is probably close to being legendary."

Wei En frowned, "Legend?"

That's right, this name is exactly the Grand Knight of Judgment whom the Church of Dawn said came to hunt him down.

"How does it compare to the previous Alais?"

"Only high, not low!"

So strong?

According to calculations from the previous battle with Alais, Alais's strength and total basic attributes should be around 40,000, and his original power is roughly 200...

Then the strength of this great knight of judgment is at least equivalent to his previous strength after distortion.

Thinking of this, Wei En smiled bitterly. Dawn Church really thought highly of him.

"How did you meet him?"

Claire pursed her lips slightly, recalling the previous scene in her mind, "You know, I controlled two ships in the afternoon..."

As she told her story, Wayne was glad for the first time that he had no sense of direction.

It turned out that Claire had planned to control the two ships to look for the bad fish that had destroyed her ship before, but somehow they appeared near the west coast.

Of course, according to her, it was all her fault that the helmsman puppet controlled by her did not sail in the direction she had preset...

Then, when she controlled the steering of the ship, she saw a gorgeous ship appearing not far away - it was a three-masted sailboat that was painted silvery white and inlaid with several golden patterns. The bow of the ship was like a semicircle. A pair of wings are carved on it.

Immediately afterwards, the terrifying figure appeared on the bow of the ship. He was tall and wearing a set of thick silver-white armor with the same golden pattern as the ship's hull. He looked at them calmly.

"heresy?"

At that time, Claire's consciousness had returned to the Ronan, and the remaining consciousness in the puppet spoke bluntly: "In the eyes of your Dawn Church, are there anyone else who is not a heretic?"

"The Thousand Faces of the Eternal Society? So you didn't die in Krimos Cathedral."

"certainly……"

"But you can die now!" The terrifying Judgment Knight raised two fingers, and a golden sword emerged from his body, "Dawn Judgment!"

Wei En knew everything that happened next.

If Claire's body hadn't sensed something was wrong and cut off the connection with the puppets on the two ships in time, she might have been completely cut off from her roots by the terrifying power of Dawn Faith.

Having said this, Claire still said with lingering fear: "Wei, Captain, you have to be prepared. It looks like he knows where you are."

Know?

Is it a guess, or is it?

Wei En thought of a possibility, "Divination, or prophecy?"

"It may also be a forbidden object collected by the Church of Dawn," Claire nodded, "But no matter what the ability is, we are going to be in trouble."

It's really troublesome...

Wei En stared at the light and roughly estimated the distance between the two parties. Calculated at the speed of the Ronan, it would be at most one and a half days, which is about two thousand kilometers?

With the power of the Ronan's steam engine, few three-masted sailing ships can catch up, but it does not rule out the possibility that the Church of Dawn has other means, let alone whether they will have arrangements ahead.

But now there were only two options before him, fight to the death or escape.

If he chooses to fight, he can only choose to use the power of forbidden objects, that is, letting the clown help again, he may not be able to fight.

But what he was not sure about was, with his status as the great knight, did he also hold forbidden objects in his hands?

If you run away...

Thinking of this, Wei En let out a sigh of relief, "There is still some time for now. Let Ronan leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning."

"What are you going to do next?" Claire looked at Wei En and suggested: "There is still time now. I want to contact Menoer and ask him to come to the rescue."

"Menor?"

Spatial anchor?

Wei En thought for a few seconds and shook his head, "Let's not talk about whether he is willing to face the terrifying knight of Judgment. Even if he comes, he may not be able to solve our subsequent troubles."

Unless Menor agrees to go with them to the Southern Continent, simply repelling them once will not be of much help to him.

"That's true..." Claire thought of Menor's extremely unreliable and elusive past, and said helplessly: "Then we can only hope that their speed will be slower."

Wei'an and Haisha, who were hugging each other over there, heard the conversation between the two and subconsciously looked at each other.

Judgment Great Knight, chasing and killing?

Who is this young captain?

How could the Church of Dawn send the Grand Knight of Judgment to hunt him down?

Just as Wei An was about to speak, Haisha shook her head at her, signaling not to speak yet.

No matter who the captain is, it is extremely easy to crush them to death. At such a critical and urgent moment, it is better not to get into trouble.

After the light disappeared, Wei En was silent for a few seconds and said softly: "Go and rest first."

"Yeah." Claire hesitated for a moment, but gave up her plan to stay with him and snorted coldly at the two women on the deck: "Let's go, my guards."

Wei An and Haisha quickly followed without any hesitation.

"Wait a minute," Wei En looked at Haisha, stretched out his hand and said, "Necklace."

The blonde lady paused and looked at Wei An subconsciously. Has the secret been discovered?

"give him!"

Wei An shook her head gently at her. They couldn't escape the current situation no matter what. As long as it wasn't that... it was better to choose to obey honestly.

After everyone left, Wei En ducked back to the observation deck and looked at the necklace in his hand.

Dawn, Judgment, Great Knight... Ha!

PS: There will be additional updates in the evening, so you don’t have to wait.
