Part 5: The Red Priests Chapter 161: Easy!
As a “hunter”, and the “cloak of shadows”, Danez’s ability to hide and monitor has always been good, and at the time even helped Germaine Sparrow ambush “steel” McVitie, at this time, he did not show any trace. I’ve never seen a trace of him, but I’m just bored, and I’m hoping that Anderson will come and rotate as soon as possible.
When will this kind of life be over? “Disease Lieutenant General” appear soon, no, no, not now, or wait for Anderson to come to talk about …… Danez examined himself, and rationally ended the “prayer”. He was afraid that the “Disease Lieutenant General” would show up soon.
He was worried that a pirate general at the level of “Disease Lieutenant General” Tracy would realize that he was hiding in the shadows, and he didn’t have the courage or confidence to do so.
Of course, if he wore those gloves, none of that would be a problem.
– If only the decision was made fast enough, timidity and fear wouldn’t be able to catch up with him!
”You seem distressed?” Suddenly, a voice rang in Daniz’s ears.
Startled, Daniz leapt out of the shadows, an orange-red flame quickly taking shape in his hand.
At the same time, he turned his gaze to the source of the sound and saw Anderson hiding within a small bush, a branch with green leaves sticking out of his head, almost blending in with the environment.
”…… shit!” Danez, not sure if he was cursing Anderson or himself, vented before saying, “When did you get here?”
”Two minutes ago.” Anderson replied with a smile, “Well hidden, I couldn’t even figure you out the first time, so I had to follow your hiding habits and casually ask a question over here.”
For a moment, Daniz didn’t know whether to be proud, or angry, and asked back with rather mixed feelings:
”If I had just kept my composure, you wouldn’t have been able to spot me?”
”In theory.” Anderson said with a not at all caring smile, “But as a seasoned ‘hunter’ there wouldn’t have been only one way.”
Daniz was about to ask what other ways there were when he suddenly saw Buzz in the room extinguishing the candle and getting ready for bed.
After a few dozen seconds, in a darkness, the blurred figure of Baz the Intelligence Vendor appeared by the window, and with a light leap, landed in a lightless place outside the room.
That was exactly where Danez had been hiding, and reintegrating into the shadows he was nearly stepped on by his target.
Baz then followed the shadows, traveling towards the beach.
”…… shit!” Daniz then showed himself and gave his middle finger to the target’s back.
Anderson left the small bush as well, pulling branches from his head as he laughed at Danez:
”Looks like we’re going to get something tonight.”
Daniz glanced across the room at the Misty Sea’s strongest hunter and nodded vigorously:
”Let’s hope it’s ‘Lieutenant General Disease’.”
He immediately took Anderson with him, and with the help of the shadows prevalent in the darkness of the night, tracked up the intelligence peddler, keeping the distance just right.
”Not stupid …… yet,” Anderson tsked and laughed after observing for a while.
Danez gave a mental “meh” and didn’t respond.
Without his gloves on, he knew very well that this was not the occasion to taunt each other and provoke each other!
A quarter of an hour later, Baz arrived at the beach, stood on the sand, and gazed up at the deep blue ocean under the scarlet moonlight.
He didn’t have to wait long before a huge silhouette emerged from the dark depths of the ocean, gradually outlining a ship painted black with a white flag flying.
On top of the flag, two blue flames burned inside a dark skull.
”Black Death”!
The flagship of “Disease Admiral” Tracy, the “Black Death”!
Danitz became excited, and if he hadn’t already been in shadow, his pupils would have dilated considerably to incorporate more light and see every detail of the ship.
Unconsciously, he dove a little further, wanting to make sure that Tracy “The Disease Lieutenant General” was on board.
The huge sailing ship was getting closer and closer, and in the shadows the two men could gradually see a sailor busy on the deck.
Was there a dock here? Or was it better to give Baz a small boat and let him row over there himself? Danez had just flashed so many thoughts when he heard Anderson press his voice:
”Exit here.”
Huh? One of Danitz’s greatest strengths was that he was good at listening to those in authority, no matter whether he was facing Edwina Edwards or Germaine Sparrow, he could only yell a few words at most, but he would never compromise on his actions, at this moment, although he was full of doubts, and had the intention of retorting and insisting on his own ideas, he still used the shadows to quietly and silently get away from the sea first.
Only when the “Black Death” was out of sight, and only the sound of the waves could be faintly heard, did Danitz break away from the shadows, and appearing in the forest, asked sharply:
”Won’t you confirm if the ‘Lieutenant General of Disease’ is there?”
Anderson looked Daniz up and down twice and chuckled:
”Never underestimate this kind of extraordinary person who has a great reputation at sea but has survived well to this day, every Pirate General is a target that must be treated with caution, and there can never be the slightest carelessness.”
Daniz subconsciously responded:
”‘Admiral of Blood’ Seniol, ‘Admiral of Hell’ Ludwell ……”
They were both pirate generals who had been easily disposed of by a certain mad adventurer.
”…… “Anderson couldn’t even find the words to refute Danez for a moment, and only said after several seconds, “So, the ‘Disease’ who also suffered the attack of Germaine Sparrow but still managed to survive Lieutenant General’ Tracy is not more worthy of attention?”
Upon careful consideration, Daniz inexplicably felt that Anderson’s words made a lot of sense, and he was about to speak when his throat suddenly tickled and he coughed.
After a few coughs in a row, his throat began to swell and a rusty taste flooded out.
”See, I told you to be careful.” Anderson also clenched his fist against his mouth and coughed lightly, but not as much as Danez’s reaction, “Tressie must have spread various diseases in that area around the ship, once anyone gets close, they’ll soon be infected and exposed, heh, this wide range of application of her ability shows that she’s already fully digested the Sequence 5 magical potion, and is hopeful of being promoted to Sequence 4. ”
”Why isn’t it already promoted to Sequence 4?” retorted Danez instinctively as he quickly slowed down due to being away from the source of the infection.
”Then you’re either on the ‘Black Death’ right now, or you have the ‘Black Death’ and are about to die.” Anderson half-turned his body, casting his gaze out to sea where he couldn’t see at all, “Trixie’s application just now was a bit tricky, it should have only maintained the disease in the frontal area, leaving the other three directions unattended, and then it took the help of the wind’s spread to affect the people on shore.”
At this point, Anderson clapped his hands together lightly and renewed his smile:
”Doesn’t our encounter prove that the ‘Lieutenant General of Disease’ is indeed on board? You may inform Germaine Sparrow now.”
…… Without further hesitation, Danez immediately set up the ritual and summoned the messenger, while Anderson stepped out of the woods under the pretext of preparing for an accident.
……
It was after three in the morning on the East Side of Birkeland, dark except for moonlight and starbursts.
Klein, dressed in cotton pajamas and a nightcap to protect his hair, sat up in bed and took the incoming letter from Renette Tinicol without asking anything.
Opening it, he calmly got up, took out the fountain pen in his coat pocket, and wrote on the back of the letterhead:
”Return to the harbor city and wait for subsequent orders.”
After witnessing the departure of the messenger lady, Klein unhurriedly changed into his shirt, put on his vest, tied his bow tie, and put on his black trench coat.
Then, he took four steps against the grain, came above the gray mist, and used his citrine pendulum to divine the level of danger of this operation, receiving little to no revelation.
Without further hesitation, Klein returned to the real world, stood in front of the mirror, picked up his half-height silk bowler hat, and slipped it over his head.
Outside in that room, the secret puppet Chunas and the secret puppet Enyuni opened their eyes on the high-low bed.
……
On the “Black Death”, in an unoccupied room, a silhouette darted out, with black hair and brown pupils, and a cold, hard silhouette that was unmistakably Germaine Sparrow.
Under the dim scarlet moonlight, Klein swept his eyes, casually found a chair and sat down, enjoying the night view of the sea outside the window.
In the captain’s room, which is one floor away from here, “Lieutenant General Disease” Tracy, dressed in a white shirt and beige pants, watched with disgust as Buzz withdrew from the room, and reflexively tugged at her neckline, her expression gradually becoming grave.
She had just learned that Danez “The Flame” and Anderson “The Strongest Hunter” had been staying on Xellos for an unknown purpose.
They are both associated with Germaine Sparrow …… That guy is looking for me? Trixie narrowed her eyes and without hesitation walked towards the window, ready to instruct the sailors on deck to maneuver the ship to turn away from these waters.
Just at this time, her thoughts suddenly stalled, as if she fell into a state that she knew she was dreaming but was difficult to get out of no matter how much she struggled.
不好…… Tressie body surface suddenly drilled out a mass of black flames, trying to burn away the possible existence of foreign influence.
However, those flames at first can be smooth “flow”, to later has been intermittent, constantly dripping on the ground, as withered petals.
A strong feeling of despair emerged in Tracy’s heart, and her thoughts turned more and more slowly.
She couldn’t care about anything else, and was too busy letting a layer of transparent ice crystals condense on the surface of her body, letting that one invisible thread roll back and wrap around herself in layers.
At that moment, the door to the captain’s room creaked open, and Germaine Sparrow, wearing a silk bowler hat and a black trench coat, walked in.
Immediately afterward, he closed the door of the room with a polite, casual hand.
With a slight click, the entire captain’s room suddenly became extremely quiet, no longer echoing with the sound of the waves, as if isolated from the real world.
The invisible spider threads wrapped around Tracy seemed to have misunderstood the order and tightly bound the “Disease Lieutenant General”, making it difficult for her to move and apply her extraordinary abilities.
”Twist.”
Trixie’s thoughts then returned, her brain no longer feeling frozen.
”You… what are you trying to do?” She couldn’t hide her fear as she looked at Germaine Sparrow Road, who was approaching step by step.
What she couldn’t understand was why the other party would give up the attempt at secret puppetization when she clearly had no resistance left just now.
The reason why Klein did so was because he was worried that the “Lieutenant General of Disease” and the “Witch of White” had a very close blood relationship, so that Tracy’s death would make that demigod who specialized in curses sense and take precautionary measures in advance.
In the sound of footsteps, Klein stopped in front of the witch.
