Chapter 257 The War Rolls Forward
There are many different opinions about who won the battle of the two suns, and no one seems to be able to tell clearly.
The last surviving member of the Seven Gods Church who participated in the battle kept silent about this matter. Some fishermen who happened to see the battle of the two suns once shouted that a sun fell into the deep sea, but they couldn't tell whether it was the sun that came out first or the sun that appeared later.
On the southeast coast of the southern continent, the sky was still scorching hot, and from time to time there would be streams of fire falling and hitting the ground that had been burned to charcoal.
Bernadette looked up at the sky. The sun was still dazzling, but now there were two small suns fighting for its power and authority.
She had an indescribable shock and relief, fortunate that she could actually watch a battle for the authority of the sun from afar.
Which existence could make the eternal blazing sun return empty-handed.
Yes, there was no real winner in this battle of the two suns. One sun fell into the seabed, but another sun turned into a shadow and dissipated.
God's descent is only God's descent after all, not the Eternal Sun itself.
Fortunately, it is not a real battle of gods, otherwise she would not even be qualified to watch the battle. Even if she is far away, she cannot bear that kind of power now.
From her point of view, the real winner of this battle is the Southern Continent.
Most of the elite members of the Rose School and the Seven Gods Church who went to the island were turned into ashes in the battle of the two suns, and not even a complete corpse was left.
The Seven Gods Church, which lost most of its power, has lost its corresponding control over the land of the Southern Continent. Coupled with the joint counterattack of East Balam and West Balam, it is only a matter of time before it is completely driven out of the Southern Continent.
"I should leave here and return to the sea." Bernadette whispered.
This is not only the guidance from the stars, but also her inner desire.
Staying in the Southern Continent will only involve her in a meaningless war.
Now there is a new uncrowned king on the sea, recruiting members of major pirate groups everywhere, and his strength is growing.
She should also return to the Dawn to take charge of the overall situation, so as to prevent her fleet from being swallowed up by the uncrowned king.
Just as she was about to leave, a figure came to her side.
This was a well-proportioned young man, wearing a white robe, bare feet, and his blond hair was tied up with a golden headband.
His smile was warm, and his eyes were like a sun brewing. Just looking at him, infinite warmth surged from the bottom of my heart.
A senior figure of the Eternal Sun Church.
Bernadette didn't know this young man, but from the aura he exuded, he was definitely a figure at the level of an archbishop.
Bernadette said calmly: "The people of the Eternal Sun Church are not busy cleaning up the mess, but come here to find me. What do you want to do?"
"I came here to ask a question."
"I may not answer."
"How do you know that the remnants of the Rose School are hiding on this isolated island?"
Bernadette's face was cold, and she sneered: "Do you think I colluded with the people of the Rose School and deliberately deceived you?"
"You misunderstood, I am just interested in your source of information, which is a place that even the gods cannot see."
The young man's tone was not impatient, even though he was talking about the gods.
Bernadette did not answer the question directly, but asked curiously: "Who are you?"
"You can call me Rose Hurley."
"I have never heard of this name. Is this your real name?"
"You can also call me His Holiness the Pope of the Eternal Sun Church."
"?!"
Bernadette did not hide her surprise. She never thought that the Pope of the Eternal Sun Church would leave the Republic of Intis.
Although she had not returned to her homeland for a long time, there were many people who stayed in Intis, but no one noticed that the Pope actually walked out of the sacred temple and appeared here as a young man.
"I have no ill intentions. I just want to know a definite answer if you still think of Intis as your homeland."
Bernadette was silent for a long time, and finally looked up at the sky, almost muttering: "When you look up at the starry sky at night, what else can you see besides the crimson moon?"
Rose Hurley also looked up at the sky, as if it had turned from day to night.
"Everything is under the gaze of the stars."
Bernadette's lost tone made him clearly feel that the Pope was worried.
"Bernadette, should I let you go?"
"Don't make a decision that you will regret."
"Alas, this world is too chaotic."
Rose Hurley sighed, put away all his worries, and said with a smile: "When do you plan to go back and take a look?"
"When I should go back."
"Just like when I was a child, as rebellious as ever."
Before Bernadette could react, Ross Hurley disappeared like a bubble in the sun.
Impossible!
The Pope of the Eternal Sun has only been on the throne for about fifty years. He should be younger than herself. How could he see himself when he was a child?
All the words just now were not as shocking as the last sentence.
"It seems that I should find a chance to go back and take a look. After all, I left too hastily at the beginning, and there are still many things that I haven't figured out."
Bernadette came to the seaside, tapped her fingertips on the sea, and a submarine appeared on the sea. This was her favorite sea navigation tool, the Nautilus.
…
Inside a luxurious manor, on the second floor, inside a study room.
Alfred Hall was writing a letter to send home.
"Dear sister, please forgive your second brother for not being able to return to Backlund to attend your coming-of-age ceremony, but I think that with your excellent character and perfect appearance, you will still be Backlund's most shining gem."
"Being absent from this important day in your life is also a very painful thing for me. I wanted to return to Backlund several times before the year before, but the situation here changed too fast, and it was urgent for me to stay and deal with everything. affairs.”
"I think with your wisdom and heart, you will definitely forgive your second brother who is far away in the Southern Continent and is suffering from the war."
"Yes, the war broke out. Just today, most of the organizations in East Balam and West Balam have united to target members of the Church of the Seven Gods. In this war, their power has the upper hand. I believe that the war in the southern continent will be very serious. It will subside soon."
"But this does not mean that the war will end here. Driving the power of the Church of the Seven Gods out of the Southern Continent is just the first step in the flames of war."
"War is like a machine that keeps moving forward. It will not stop until its energy is completely exhausted. Moreover, the damage done to the Southern Continent this time has completely angered the ordinary people there. , Only when the anger in their hearts can be extinguished can the war truly end."
"You don't need to worry about your second brother. He is fine and safe. He is just unable to return to Backlund for the time being..."
After Alfred Hall finished writing the letter, he asked the butler to find a way to send the letter back to Backlund.
"I know it's difficult, but I think the port is not completely closed yet and this is the last chance to send a letter."
"yes."
The steward personally took two manor guards to the port.
As soon as I arrived at the port, I was stunned by the dense crowd in front of me.
Looking around, there is no end in sight.
The war has begun, and many businessmen who came to the Southern Continent to do business, with their families and their families, were rushing to leave here at the beginning of the war to avoid being involved in the war.
"Everyone, go back. Today's ferry tickets have been sold out. There is not even a standing ticket left."
Although the person in charge of the port was loudly persuading and asking people to evacuate the crowd gathered here, it still had no effect.
Today’s ferry tickets are sold out, but isn’t there still tomorrow?
Many people choose to stay where they are, hoping to spend the day here so they can buy ferry tickets early tomorrow.
"Fortunately, we have our own way."
The housekeeper just looked at it for a while, then walked around to a two-story house. After some bargaining, he finally spent 50 gold pounds to send the letter back to Backlund.
According to the person in charge there, at this time, if you want to take a boat back to Backlund, an ordinary boat ticket costs at least 200 gold pounds, and you need to have the connections to buy it.
If those people outside don't find other ways to work around, they will be stuck here as long as the war lasts.
They all want to leave the Southern Continent when the war starts. Do the rulers who manage this place really think of this?
Two days before the war started, they had already suspended some ferries and sent personnel to guard important ports. They would never allow the wealth belonging to the southern continent to be brought back to the northern continent.
…
Port Pullin, South Wales.
In the VIP room on the second floor of a pretty good hotel, Hastur took the mirror out of his arms and placed it on the table.
"Miss Sharon, we have left the Black Emperor and arrived at a port in South Wales. You can come out."
This period of time was really hard for Sharon. In order not to be discovered by the King of the Five Seas, she had been hiding in the mirror.
Although he later became a distinguished guest on the Black Emperor, Sharon still had no idea of coming out of the mirror, so Hastur could only keep the mirror close to his body.
