Parvi shot him a glance.

"People are missing!"

"No, no, no, that's not it. I know that." Weimer shook his head seriously.

His eyes lit up.

"I know what's missing!"

"What?" Captain Gray and First Mate Ol' Keaton asked in unison.

Weimer laughed.

"Money, notes, and gold coins!"

He straightened his back and continued explaining, "Although we haven't entered the houses to conduct a detailed search, according to my experience, even if we just look from the outside, we should be able to find some. However, there's nothing at all!"

"Perhaps it's just that the people here aren't very rich and don't have the habit of leaving their money around." Parvi didn't agree.

This was not an important problem. The four of them quickly diverted their attention. After entering the municipal square, they looked at the tallest building.

It was a black-spired cathedral.

Mushrooms tenaciously grew out of the cracks in the bricks of the cathedral. They were either simple and plain, or gorgeous and colorful. They strung together, showing a presence that couldn't be ignored in front of the green vines.

"This place feels like it's been abandoned for even longer." Parvi paused before saying, "From the architectural style, this looks like the cathedral of the Goddess. Do the people here also believe in the Goddess?"

She found this rather peculiar.

The residents of such a hidden island and strange town seem to believe in the Evernight Goddess…

Ol' Keaton stared at it for a few seconds before saying, "Seems so."

Then, he immediately added, "It feels like the closer we get to the square and the cathedral, the longer it appears to be abandoned."

Be it the weeds on the road, the green plants on the surface of the buildings, or the mushrooms of all kinds, the closer they got to the center of the town, the more numerous they became. And the cathedral seemed to be covered in a green coat with many speckled holes.

After a moment of silence, Parvi suggested, "Let's go to the cathedral. As long as the Goddess is still watching this land, there won't be any particularly serious problems there."

Captain Gray and Ol' Keaton didn't object, but the former reiterated the rules of this exploration.

"After entering the cathedral, you can only use your eyes to see and ears to hear. Don't do anything else."

"No problem." Weimer walked towards the cathedral at the side of the square.

This left Parvi with no choice but to gesture a circle on her chest and simply ask for the Goddess's protection.

As there wasn't much time left, the four of them sped up and quickly arrived at the cathedral's entrance.

They were in no hurry to push the door open and enter. They "sized up" their surroundings individually.

"Very quiet," Captain Gray concluded.

The other three also expressed that they did not find any problems.
