Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

Chapter 349 Exploring Sea Caves

After dinner, the Grand Inquisitor gathered up his black windproof cloak and put on his wide hood.

With the long sword and hand cannon hidden at his waist, he pushed open the creaking wooden door and the cool sea breeze blew in his face.

"Sir, are you going out?" The young judge heard the noise and walked out of his room to check.

"Well, just stay where you are and don't follow me." The Chief Inquisitor turned around and warned in a deep voice.

"Don't you need my help?"

"No need. Summarize your recent findings into a report and wait for me to come back and check it." The Grand Inquisitor assigned a task to the temporary apprentice and asked her to stay in her residence honestly.

"Yes, I will summarize it now."

Seeing that his temporary apprentice was so obedient, the Grand Inquisitor nodded with satisfaction and turned to walk into the dim street.

......

"Skadi, you've regressed. Are you still not used to the land environment?"

In the room lit by a white candle, two long shadows stood facing each other.

The long sword made of Agor's top-grade materials, with tremendous force, slashed heavily on the armor condensed by ancient Sarkaz magic, sparking a series of sparks.

Skadi used the candlelight to see the face of the person who came and silently retracted the strength of her sword.

"You haven't seen me take action, why do you think I've regressed?" Skadi asked with a little dissatisfaction when his own strength was questioned.

"I don't know, I just think the strength of the deep-sea hunter shouldn't be limited to this level."

The Doctor shook his arm which was hurt by the collision. He should not have teased Skadi if he had known this. It was just asking for trouble.

"I'm not ready for battle yet, so I can't use my full strength. If you fight the captain and the others, you will experience what a true deep-sea hunter is."

Skadi, who was performing poorly, brought in the captain and others to maintain the powerful image of the deep-sea hunter.

"Captain of the Deep Sea Hunters, have you found them?"

The Doctor's mind conjured up the image of the swordfish breaking the speed of sound on land and the humpback whale carving out a path.

"No, maybe the intelligence is wrong. I searched many places, but there is no news about Shark and the captain."

The doctor took the initiative to ask the captain and the others, and Skadi quickly poured out all the doubts in her heart.

"How did you find it?"

“I asked the locals if they had seen outsiders like me, and then I went to find people from the Deep Sea Church…”

Skadi listed her methods of finding people one by one, and the doctor shook his head.

"These methods are a bit inefficient. Iberia's coastline is winding and continuous, and there are countless islands. When we find it, it may just depend on luck."

"Is there any better way?" Skadi hadn't thought so much about it before, she just kept going on the same path until she fainted.

After hearing what the doctor said, the slow-witted girl finally realized how long this road was, so long that there was no end in sight.

"I don't know. I haven't thought about it for now. Let's take it one step at a time." The doctor spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless.

"...Thank you for your answer. I'm going to go out and continue looking for clues." After a moment of silence, Skadi quietly put on his tricorn hat, carried a long sword on his back, and walked to the window.

If she went downstairs at this time, the noise made by the worn wooden stairs would wake up Anita who was sleeping soundly.

"I'll go with you, just to join in the fun." The doctor was very curious about how Skadi found it. She was not good at communicating with people, so how did she get the information?

"Okay, if you encounter danger on the road, I will protect you." Skadi's calm tone gave people a sense of security.

"Haha, it's still unclear who is protecting whom." The Doctor chuckled a few times, and a dark magic cloak covered his body, and he followed Skadi and jumped out of the window.

At another window on the second floor, Anita was lying by the window, looking at Skadi who was quickly sneaking into the night with complicated eyes.

"Hunter, have you found your companions?"

The Grand Inquisitor, who was lurking around the two-story building and keeping watch, saw his target leave and immediately followed him.

"Skadi, where are we going?"

"A few days ago, I found a sea cave on the coast. There were signs of human activity inside. I suspect it is the base of the Deep Sea Church. I will go check it out tonight."

"Hmm..." The doctor turned his head and glanced behind him. The Grand Inquisitor's tracking had been discovered by his magical vision.

Arresting members of the Deep Sea Church is one of the main tasks of the Inquisition, so it wouldn't hurt to have an Inquisitor follow along.

Once Skadi gets the information she wants, that base will be handed over to the Inquisition.

The air in the sea caves on the coast is humid and salty. Candlesticks made of shells are placed on the pitted rock walls.

The candles in the candlesticks were burning unevenly, and wax dripped all over the bottom of the shell. There was also a pale skeleton of an unknown creature next to it, which should be the small altar of the Deep Sea Church.

Walking along the narrow and rugged path beside the rock wall, the doctor smelled a strong fishy odor, like salted fish that had been rotten for a long time.

"Be careful, the ground is slippery." Skadi, who was walking in front, slipped and swayed a few times, but quickly regained her balance.

She turned around and reminded the doctor who was here for the first time to be careful, saying that the road ahead was more difficult and he must look carefully before taking any step.

"Well, don't worry about me, just be careful."
