After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 110 Libra Holy Cult and Witch Meloye

Santos is a small country built on an outlying island.

Although the land area is small, Santos's national power is not weak at all.

"Sir, look, in front of us is our landmark building of Santos - the Tower of Libra. It is the national religion of Santos - the main church of the Libra Church."

A young man of about twelve years old, wearing slightly worn linen clothes and linen trousers, walked in front of Ryan and led the way, pointing to the tall building that stood in the center of the city and was more than [-] meters high in the distance, with a proud look on his face. introduced.

The boy's name is "Jorah". He is a street boy living in the outer city of "Santos City". He earns a living by doing some stolen work and also works part-time as a guide for "outsiders" like Ryan.

"Tower of Libra... Libra Holy Cult..." Ryan nodded thoughtfully.

After the three of them found a suitable location in a cave by the beach as a temporary residence, Ryan said goodbye to the two girls and came alone to the only city on the outlying island, Santos City.

There is only one city in Santos, which is Santos City. This city is the center and surrounded by villages.

After paying the entry fee, Ryan entered the city of Santos. For an outsider like him, the guards didn't even bother to compare the wanted notice posted at the city gate and just let him go. This also made Ryan realize that in this kind of situation, On an island far away from the mainland, the wanted notices issued by mainland countries have almost zero effect.

In order to understand the situation in the city as quickly as possible, Lane hired a "little guide."

From his mouth, Ryan also gradually learned the general situation of Santos.

There is something special about the country of Santos.

It is not that royal power is supreme, but that divine power and royal power coexist, and the representative of divine power is the Holy Cult of Libra.

This is the first church organization that Ryan has known since he came to this world. With the end of the Era of Gods, most of the religious organizations that rely on the gods have died out, and the rest are extremely low-key.

Religions as "high-profile" as the Libra Holy Cult are extremely rare. Of course, this is also related to the particularity of the Libra Holy Cult.

The teachings of the Libra Holy Cult are simple, "Everything follows equivalent exchange, and the sacred scales measure everything."

In the view of the Holy Cult of Libra, everything in the world has a measure. As long as they pay a sufficient price, that is, gold pounds, even the most vicious pirates can enjoy all services in the city of Santos, and even receive priests. People prayed and sang for him.

This is something that seems extremely absurd to other religious organizations, but in Santos, it is completely normal.

Even if you encounter something immeasurable, you can still pay the price and use the "Holy Scale" to make judgments in front of the Holy Church of Libra.

"The divine scales measure everything" is never an empty phrase.

As a result, Santos City has gradually become one of the supply areas for many pirates in the inland sea area, and its economy has become increasingly prosperous.

Such national conditions made Ryan secretly complain - isn't this a profit-making organization that adheres to the principle of money supremacy and is called a religion but is essentially a profit-making organization connected with interests?
  Regarding the situation of "Santos", Ryan did not make too many comments. Its existence was reasonable. The purpose of his trip was to first go to the "Black Cat Divination House" in the outer city to see the situation, and then go to the shipyard to look for things. A suitable boat, and a visit to the city's famous blacksmith shop.

For Freni, who made a fortune by "stealing ships", buying a big ship is undoubtedly the "worst" choice. The best way is, of course, to just grab a big ship. However, before grabbing a big ship, find a suitable one. A boat is also a must.

Although she is a pirate, Freni considers herself to be a "reasonable" pirate. She does not rob every ship. At least she has to wait for the other party to show malicious intent before robbing her. Only in this way can she be justified.

Ryan agrees with this approach.

"I heard that there is a 'Black Cat Divination House' in the outer city. Take me there to have a look." Ryan said to the little guide Jorah who was leading the way.

"Black Cat Divination House..." To Ryan's surprise, Jorah showed hesitation on his face after hearing these words: "Sir, I suggest you not to go."

"A few days ago, the owner of the 'Black Cat Divination House', 'Sister Meloye,' was taken away by the Libra Knights. Although I don't know the specific reason, anything related to the Libra Knights is not a trivial matter. "

"Libra Knight? Taken away?" Ryan frowned slightly.

"Yes." The little guide Jorah noticed that Ryan's face turned ugly and hurriedly said: "The Libra Knights are a violent organization of the Libra Holy Cult. They usually only take part in major events. So far, I haven't heard of it. There is no news that the people taken away by the Knights of the Scales have come back.” ˆ ˆ ˆ “Although Sister Meloye is taciturn and never shows her face, I often see her helping homeless children. She is a good person, alas..."

"Master, you'd better not go. It will be troublesome if you get involved."

The attitude of the little guide Jorah was very sincere.

After thinking for a moment, Ryan said, "Take me there."

"You, alas..." Jorah sighed: "I have told you the pros and cons. Since you still decide to go, I will also lead the way, but at most I will take you nearby..."

"That's enough." Ryan nodded slightly.

The persuasion was fruitless, so the little guide Jorah could only lead the way.

After a while, he pointed to a small wooden house in front of him with a cat's paw print on the plaque and said, "Sir, look, that's the 'Black Cat Divination House'."

Ryan looked in the direction the boy pointed.

This small wooden house located among the surrounding houses was not conspicuous. Without someone to guide him, he would not have known that this place was a divination house.

"Thank you." Ryan gave the boy a few pennies, and the boy who took the money left in a hurry, for fear of getting into any trouble.

Retracting his gaze from the young man's leaving figure, Ryan observed his surroundings and after confirming that there were no spiritual fluctuations around him, he hid his figure and headed towards the Black Cat Divination House from the shadow under the eaves.

The Black Cat Divination House is one of the branches of the "Witch Club". Logically speaking, it is impossible for something to happen so easily. After all, the strength of the witch is not comparable to that of ordinary professionals.

Ryan is skeptical whether the witch named "Meloye" in the black cat divination room was really taken away by the Libra Knight.

Therefore, he planned to go to the surrounding area to see for himself, and if it didn't work, he would withdraw.

Although it is a pity to lose a place to obtain intelligence, for the three Ryans now, safety is the first priority.

Soon, Ryan came to the back of the Black Cat Divination House. Just as he was about to climb in through the window, he suddenly felt something and turned to look at the shadow in the corner.

There, he saw a black kitten lying in the shadow of the grass, looking at him quietly.

"Meow~"

After a slight meow, the little black cat turned around and ran away into the distance.

Seeing this, Ryan's eyes moved slightly and he chased after him.

After running and chasing, taking many twists and turns, Ryan came to a rather dilapidated and dark alleyway in a short time.

In front of him, the little black cat gracefully raised its furry paw and licked it.

A dagger with a cold meaning was pressed against Ryan's neck, and together with it, there was a cold voice:

"Who are you? Why are there such strong traces of magic on your body?"
