   Chapter 275 Bright (4k)

   "It's at most half an hour before we reach that stone island..."

   On the sloop, Anna whispered softly.

   That deserted island, although my father often took them there when he was a child, but he never gave it a serious name, just used the island full of stones, the island of black stones and the like to refer to it.

   She looked left and right, and all she could see were the blue waves, as if they were the only boat sailing on the vast and boundless sea.

   "Arriving at Stone Island...what should we do?" Ant murmured.

   Looking in the direction of his gaze, a black outline has faintly emerged in the distance.

   That was the deserted rocky island they used to go to when they were children.

  Anna was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked.

   "Does Your Excellency Leonard have any instructions?"

   "Instruction... He just told me that everything was going according to the original plan, whether he showed up or not."

  Ante replied thoughtfully, as if he realized something, and his tone gradually became low.

   After about ten minutes, the sailboat approached the black stone island.

  Wow~Wow~

   Approaching the island, the sound of the surging tide became clear, and the blue waves rolled towards the black reef, and then shattered into transparent white foam.

   They docked on the left side of Stone Island, a reef beach.

   The whole stone island is not so much an island as it is a huge black and reddish stone that emerges from the water.

   There is no golden sandy beach and no green vegetation.

   However, the Stone Island also has a distinctive feature—that is, the strange potholes and holes all over the surface are like cannonball craters in the battlefield of the previous life.

   These potholes are big and small.

  The small ones may be just the thickness of the thumb and shallow pits, but the large ones are generally at least the size of a basketball court, with a depth of more than ten meters, and can even be called a tiankeng cave.

   "Be careful, there is a reef on the left." Anna reminded Old Jack carefully by comparing her memory.

   It is not an easy thing to get close to such a reef beach.

  Before approaching the reefs that are visible to the naked eye, under these seemingly harmless sea waves, there are actually countless invisible crises...

   After a while, they arrived at the chosen mooring point.

   Plop.

  Old Jack dropped the heavy anchor, and the sailboat came to a crunch.

"arrive."

   He exhaled softly and whispered.

"Um."

   The three of them looked at each other, paused, then stepped onto the stone island together, and came to a small circular pothole near the center.

   This circular pothole looks like an ordinary pothole with a depth of about two meters.

   But in fact, the potholes here are not straight up and down like other potholes on the island, but are somewhat curved, and there is a natural tunnel at the bottom.

   And at the end of the tunnel, there is the open bottom of a giant cave like a flask.

   There is the location of the teleportation array.

   In fact, there are many similar gigantic caves on the whole island that lead to the huge cave in the center of the island.

   If not all the potholes were connected to the cave, the potholes all over the stone island looked like some kind of huge and strange spherical creature with countless slender tentacles.

   'Everything continues as planned...'

   Came to the bottom of the familiar cave and stared at everything in the dimness in front of her, Anna's heart sank slightly.

   The wizard named Leonard has not yet appeared.

   The little tails that followed behind also did not appear.

When passing through the long and narrow tunnel, she, Ante, and Old Jack were all silently watching their back, trying to find any possibility, representing Wizard Leonard, or following from Pahama Island. The trail of the little tail.

   But in the end it just got nothing.

   First-order wizard strength is a watershed, ruthlessly separating the mundane from the extraordinary.

   In such a situation, they are like fallen leaves blown by the wind, and they have no control over their own destiny.

   "Sister Anna..." Ante stared at her and asked softly, with hesitation in his eyes.

  He looked up.

   Above the pitch-black dome like an inverted funnel, there is a hole like a full moon, and the bright light pours down like flowing water, bringing the only light to the bottom of the entire cave.

   And the light fell to the spot formed at the bottom of the cave. At first glance, it was ordinary, just ordinary ground.

   But Ante knew that that was where the teleportation formation was hiding.

   "Let's go." Anna said softly, with determination on her face.

   In any case, at this moment, they can only choose to follow the orders of Colin, who is at least on the same front as themselves, and continue to follow the plan.

   Came to the light, Anna took out the broken lightning pendant from her bosom, the golden chain stretched out, and there was a slight noise between friction.

   Then, Anna's movements suddenly stopped. She didn't continue to move. She just stood there and silently rubbed the broken lightning pendant in her hand, which looked more like an L-shaped pendant.

   "Sister..." Ante said suspiciously, but was stopped by Old Jack beside him.

   He didn't think much about it, and closed his mouth in obedience, quietly waiting for the instructions of his sister Anna in front of him.

   The three of them came to a standstill.

   Neither forward nor backward, just stand in place, silent.

  I don't know how long it has passed, and the young Ante can't remember how many times he hesitated to speak.

   "Why not continue?"

   But at this moment, a deep voice in the air finally couldn't hold back, and it suddenly sounded!

   Father Humphrey's figure emerged from the air.

   He stared at the three of Anna in front of him puzzled, and asked repeatedly:

   "You noticed my stalking? Could it be that Old Jack is not just an ordinary great knight?"

   "Humphrey, it really is you!" Ant roared in a low voice, stepping back subconsciously.

   "Father Humphrey..." Anna stared at Humphrey. Although she had expected it, her pupils could not help shrinking slightly.

   On the other hand, Old Jack pulled out the saber from his waist and stood in front of the Ante brothers and sisters, protecting them behind his back.

   "Humph—" Humphrey sneered, "Why don't you, the most common believers, kneel when you see the priest?"

   He looked at Old Jack and said again: "The big knight's body, I think, can make me happy for a longer time... It's a pity that you are not a woman, otherwise I would be more happy."

   Old Jack's expression remained unchanged, and he quietly confronted him.

   He knew what Humphrey was talking about—some cruel torture.

   These priests who believe in the goddess of night and blood are all lunatics! Generally have abusive perverted hobbies.

   Pahama Island, ruled by the goddess of night and blood, is of strict order.

   Once you reach the priesthood, it is completely different from the status of the believers below.

   A priest has the right to deal with any ordinary believer by any means as long as there are reasonable reasons.

  Under such authority, their desires naturally inflate unscrupulously, and then they become perverted and cruel under the guidance of the goddess of night and blood.

   Flogging, knife slashing, tearing... As long as it does not cause a large number of deaths among believers, any torture method that can bring blood is just the most common pastime for them.

   Moreover, it is also euphemistically called - pleasing the goddess.

   Of course, it is unknown whether the goddess of night and blood will feel happy, but he does not care about these, and even a little laissez-faire.

  In endless pain and despair, people will become weak and pray to the gods... Faith will become stronger.

   However, once you get used to praying in despair, you will lose the courage to fight, lose the idea of ​​changing, and lose the most precious spirit that belongs to human beings... In the end, what is left is just a weak body kneeling and praying.

   In fact, the main reason why Old Jack chose to be the captain of the fishing boat was to avoid these perverted senior believers on the island as much as possible.

   "By the way, I have another question—" Father Humphrey looked back and asked:

   "What relationship do you have with the Barcelona family?"

   "Let me guess—" He grinned, glanced at the three people in front of him, and said slowly with a joke, "Isn't it the remnant of the Barca family?"

   As soon as his voice fell, the expressions of the two Annas in front of them changed slightly.

  'Why hasn't Wizard Leonard appeared yet? ! ' Ant looked around calmly, feeling a little anxious.

  Ana is the same, but her expression is obviously more desperate than Ante.

   "Humphrey is a senior priest, at least at the top of a mid-level wizard..." She lightly opened her red lips and stated in a low voice.

Even though the    words only came to this point, Ante vaguely understood something.

  The wizard named Leonard, although he couldn't know his true strength, he had previously said that the lowest strength of the teleportation array was a first-order intermediate wizard.

  I think Wizard Leonard's strength should be at least an intermediate level... right?

  Ante suddenly thought of the slight change in his expression when he heard the four requests he said to use the teleportation array.

   In fact, Colin didn't have too many expressions, but those "expressionless" in Ante's heart at the moment, they have become conclusive evidence—

   That wizard named Leonard, shouldn't he be just a first-order junior wizard? !

   The breath of despair surged into his heart like a tide, and then spread out along the pores, making Ante feel that the surrounding air was gradually condensing, and he was a little breathless.

   "Don't talk?" Humphrey continued, looking around as if looking for something.

   Then his vision stopped somewhere in the void.

  Shoo!

   In the next second, he suddenly turned into a scarlet afterimage, bypassed Old Jack in an instant, and came to Anna's side.

Well!

   He grabbed Anna's bundled hair and pulled it up.

   The intense pain that struck instantly made Anna cry out in pain.

  If you can see through the thick black hair, you can see the blood red that gradually spreads.

   "Sister Anna!"

  Humphrey's speed was so fast that Ant only had time to exclaim.

  Whoosh!

   On the other hand, Old Jack had already cut out a sword.

  Unfortunately, it was easily avoided by Humphrey who was well prepared.

   He looked around, holding Anna in one hand, and tossing the Lightning Pendant he took down to Ante in the other, and said lightly:

   "Go ahead, I know there must be some secrets buried here."

  Ante hurriedly took the lightning pendant that was thrown, and his face was filled with uncontrollable anger.

   It's just that Humphrey was back in mid-air and couldn't get close at all, and his anger didn't help.

   Anna, who was hanging in the air, gritted her teeth, grabbed the middle of her hair with both hands, and pulled it hard to relieve the pressure at the roots of her scalp.

   It's just that the initial pulling has damaged the scalp, and there are several trickles of blood flowing down the scalp, leaving bright red meandering marks on the cheeks and neck.

  Ante gritted his teeth, and no longer hoped for Colin to appear.

   He paused, looked at Old Jack, and then at Anna, who endured the pain without saying a word, and finally came to the circular light spot.

   ding bell.

   He held the chain of the Lightning Pendant in his right hand and let it fall and sway.

   Spiritual power spreads the pendant along the fingers first, and then the magic power.

  ‘Magic? ! ' Humphrey frowned slightly, looking at Ant in disbelief.

   Such pure and orderly magic can only represent wizards.

   He never imagined that Ante would be a hidden wizard, even though he seemed to be a mere apprentice.

  How can there be wizards on the island of Pahama? !

   But what he sees doesn't lie... Humphrey suddenly felt that the matter in front of him became important.

  OM—

   But at this moment, the golden-colored incomplete lightning pendant suddenly lit up.

   Immediately afterwards, it seemed to echo each other, and the circular bright spot in front of Ante suddenly lit up a little—

   seems to have something born out of it.

  Humphrey couldn't help showing joy.

  ‘A sorcerer apprentice… I have already prepared my own backhand, and I think there will be no accident. ’

   He put his doubts aside for the time being.

  ‘This discovery will definitely allow me to go further! ’

   When the island was invaded by the gods, he was the priest that he became.

   It's a pity that the wreckage left by the wizard of Barcelona, ​​which was accidentally discovered, should have given him more benefits, but it's a pity that he was in a humble position at the time...

   But this time, with the status of a priest, it is enough to digest these benefits!

   "Sure enough, Humphrey, you didn't lie to me."

   But at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared.

   This is another priest, with an aquiline nose and grey hair.

   "Prit..." Humphrey looked at him, feeling a little regretful.

   He almost forgot that he even called this helper!

  It's a pity, if he had known that this trip was going so smoothly, he would never have chosen to call this helper again!

  Humphrey stared at Pritt, his eyes twinkling.

   And Pritt, who was beside him, was keenly aware of Humphrey's expression, and his heart suddenly burst.

   He paused, restrained his joyful expression, showed a proper smile and said:

   "The reason for the success of this operation is to discover the legacy of the Barcelona family and the remnants of these suspected Barcelona families. The main credit lies with Father Humphrey, and I, Father Pritt, are just helping."

   "Where where..."

   As soon as his voice fell, Humphrey's expression softened, and he continued:

   "It's not too late, let the two of us see what the wizard of Barcelona left behind?"

   As he spoke, he and Pritt flew towards the light.

   Looking at the two priests coming over, looking at Anna who was still hanging in the air with her hair up, Ante was full of despair...

   "So, it's just the two of you and no other believers?"

   But at this moment, Colin's voice suddenly came from behind the Humphreys!

   At the same time, there were two orange fireballs and a swirling cone bullet that flashed cold light.
