Part 3 The Traveler Chapter 116 – Heavenly Fortunes
Aroma Leaf Bar, corner location.
Erland found a man in a coffee-colored jacket, tapped the other on the shoulder and laughed:
”Why don’t you drink a Strangie?”
The man was in his thirties and had an extremely popular face, except that he could clearly tell that he had Lune blood.
He had brown hair and brown pupils, with a high nose, and his original drunken look suddenly disappeared, his eyes becoming sharp all of a sudden.
He swept a glance at Aeran and Krynn, and his eyes became cloudy again, as if filled with alcohol:
”I’ve already had my drink, have a cup of Zarha to relieve myself.”
Zarha was a local specialty ale that was cheap and had a good flavor.
Aeran sniffed and laughed twice, pointing at Klein:
”Germaine Sparrow.”
Then he introduced Klein again:
”Urs Kent, just call him Kent.
”You guys talk, I have to get back to getting ready, I have to leave the harbor in the morning.”
He waved his hand and turned away without hesitation.
Klein pulled the chair next to him and sat down, not wanting any wine either, and just looked at Urs Kent with that expressionless face.
Kent was extremely uncomfortable by the look and poured a mouthful of Zarhadao:
”You can come to me with anything in the future, as long as you can provide valuable information or help us with something.”
He wasn’t worried about the drunks around him overhearing the conversation between the two, as many gangs and pirate groups would say the same thing, and the words used when recruiting informants were often similar.
”Good.” Klein was tempted to ask if he could be reimbursed for the cost of the costume to impersonate Elaine to assassinate the Disease Lieutenant General, even though it was paid for by Danez.
However, he only thought about it that way.
Urs Kent chuckled with a seemingly drunken grin:
”I’ve heard Ailan mention something about you, but I still have to remind you that on the sea, you can’t do things so crazy, and you should especially pay attention to one thing, try not to provoke pirates, I mean don’t confront them head on, there’s no problem with providing us with information in private, we’ll keep it a secret for you.”
This time, he obviously lowered his voice.
Seeing that Germaine Sparrow did not respond, he added:
”The pirates are not going to talk to you about chivalry, nor will they abide by the laws and rules of the kingdom, hiccup, if you settle down in the various port cities or island colonies, they are definitely capable of doing things like attacking your family.”
Family …… Klein was silent for a second and said flatly:
”I don’t have family.”
”……” Urs Kent was nearly at a loss for words and had to turn to, “They would also attack your friends.”
Then he heard Germaine Sparrow respond in a tone that did not rise or fall:
”I have no friends.”
…… Ursus Kent had a sudden choking sensation and subconsciously took a sip of his Zarha beer to slow down.
He coughed twice and said in a low voice:
”They’ll also sneak up on you, and they’ll also bribe people to figure out your itinerary and intercept the ship you’re traveling on, and on the high seas, the power of the individual is often small.”
Klein said rather calmly:
”I’m not going to refuse someone offering me money.
”It’s polite.”
Send money? Urs Kent visibly froze, not understanding what Germaine Sparrow meant.
It took a few seconds for him to realize with a start that the other man was using the pirates as a moving bounty.
He took a sip of beer, and then another, and for a moment was speechless.
……
Inside the underground area of the Fragrant Leaf Pub.
”Strange adventurers?” Mithril “The Coquette” King’s spirits lifted and he sat up straight.
”The Giant Rex,” Ozier nodded:
”According to ‘Blue Eyes’ Mith, that adventurer is very unfamiliar, he should have just come to the archipelago sea not long ago, but it gives him the feeling of being quite dangerous.”
Quite dangerous? Could it be the one who teamed up with “Flame” Daniz to kill “Iron” McVitie’s group? Was he the one who attacked the captain while pretending to be Elaine? Mysore asked in a deep voice, as a certain image came to mind:
”Is there a picture or portrait of him?”
Ozier beckoned to his attendant subordinate and received a blank sheet of paper from the other:
”There was the use of a ritual to have ‘Blue Eyes’ Mis depict the strange adventurer, you know, to stand in the underworld of Bayam is not the same as being a successful pirate, one must have support staff, heck, it cost me a lot of money to hire them. ”
Mizor heard the other party’s latent meaning and said with a light laugh:
”As long as we can get to the bottom of this, the captain won’t skimp on the reward.”
He took the portrait and unfolded it, realizing that on it was a cold man with black hair and brown pupils, with a slim, angular face, wearing a long black double-breasted gown and a half-height silk bowler hat.
Never seen, can not confirm whether it is disguised as Elaine that person …… Mizor raised his head and said:
”Find out his identity and whereabouts.”
”I’ve already ordered someone to do that.” “Giant Rex,” Ozier said with a subdued smile.
Both men fell silent at the same time, each sipping a Southwell Red.
After a few minutes, one of the bar keepers came in and broke the atmosphere where no one was talking.
He glanced at “Mithril the Articulate” and whispered into his boss’s ear.
Ozier’s expression suddenly became rather odd, mixed with some hard to hide laughter.
He put down his tall glass and said after a pause:
”Found that strange adventurer.”
”Where?” Mizor asked offhandedly.
Ozir pointed upward:
”Right in the bar.”
Mithol looked up at the ceiling and said in silence for a few seconds:
”I’ll go up and take a look, make sure.”
Thinking that he had come into contact with the person pretending to be the red-haired Elaine, and having a general understanding of similar abilities, he thought that even if the other party was able to disguise himself, he should have a certain sense of familiarity, and so, decided to go and confirm it himself.
According to his original habit, he actually wouldn’t just take the initiative to go out like this, but rather, he would first do peripheral investigations, and only cut in when he had a not-so-small amount of certainty, but this time, he wasn’t too trusting of those underlings of Ozier – if it was really the person who was disguising Elaine, as soon as he noticed that something wasn’t right, he would instantly change his appearance, change his identity, and disappear.
Moreover, Mizor knew that he was currently in a state of being punished by the captain, and had to quickly take credit for his return to the Black Death.
”Ai, whether it’s a lack of ability or a lack of caution, the result can’t be changed, just like that, he was concealed by the disguiser, brought ‘her’ aboard the Black Death, and almost killed the captain ……
”The old Zillinger would not have spared me, heh, he’s always been greedy and has longed for my extraordinary abilities for a long time ……
”The captain wasn’t forgiving enough when he didn’t assume that I was working with the attackers and summoned the others to round me up on the spot just because Zylingus was also able to change his appearance with the help of ‘writhing hunger’, but only sent me to Bayam to investigate the matter… …Compared to Zirngus, she is a captain truly worthy of allegiance, and I must make my mark as soon as possible to have an excuse to contact her and live up to her treatment.” Mithol Jinn couldn’t help but feel his thoughts tumble a bit as he got up and walked outside.
Although he is a pirate who has killed a lot of people and robbed a lot of ships, but there is also a soft place in his heart, moreover, he did not realize that in the long time with the “Disease Lieutenant General” Tracy, has been repeatedly seduced by the other party, the good feeling has been deep into the marrow, even if the “Disease Girl Even if “Disease Girl” did not have a helper and asked him to kneel on the ground and kiss his toes, he would not resist and would do as he was told.
Of course, this will not affect his inner fantasies and Tracy to do some juvenile things, if there is an opportunity, even without the permission of the captain, he believes he will also take the initiative to do.
As a pirate, he had done no shortage of similar things.
Coming up to the upper level, Mithol King followed the cue from Ozir’s men and made a half-circle along the wall of the bar, seeing the strange adventurer sitting in the corner from a distance.
It matched the portrait …… but there was no sense of familiarity …… Was he disguised well enough, or was there someone else, like, say, “Iceberg Lieutenant General” Edwina? She can simulate the extraordinary ability of the seen, like Zilingus change appearance is not impossible …… Mizor gaze paused for two seconds, cautiously withdrew.
And by this time, the Diviner’s spiritual intuition had told Klein that someone was watching him.
Without hiding it, Klein instantly looked back and saw a man with very short eyebrows, deep-set eye sockets, and brownish-brown eyes.
The third mate of the flagship Black Death of the “Disease Lieutenant General” Mithril King …… “The Coquette” Kline immediately recognized the person observing him as the one who was watching him. recognized who the person observing him was.
Suddenly, two thoughts flashed through his mind at the same time.
One was: “The bounty is 5,400 pounds!”
The other was, “Why is he observing me? Did he start with Danez and find out about me?”
Urs Kent, the military liaison, noticed something unusual about Germaine Sparrow and followed his line of sight, only to have his gaze blocked by a couple of drunks because of the angle.
By this time, Klein already instinctively had a countermeasure, which was to pretend that he didn’t recognize Mysore King, withdraw his sight, ask for a drink, and secretly observe where the other party had gone, then use the faceless man’s ability to blend into Mysore’s hideout, and hunt the other party noiselessly.
The thought flashed by, and Klein suddenly realized something:
”This is being myself.
”And I am now Germaine Sparrow, a seemingly calm but actually mad adventurer!”
In a flash of lightning, he turned, drew his revolver, and took aim at Misael “The Talker” King, right in the middle of the bustling bar.
Bang!
A gunshot shook the entire bar, many customers reflexively crouched down holding their heads, experienced.
Many of the drunks fell to the ground, ten or so people either sideways or rolled to avoid, the movement is extremely skillful, and this includes Mysore King.
But Klein didn’t actually pull the trigger because he was afraid of accidentally shooting an innocent man – there were many drinkers between him and Mysore.
The gunshot originated from his ability to create illusions!
At that moment, there was an open field in front of him, and people were falling down like straws, so he cast an eye on Mysore, who had just landed on his side, and actually pulled the trigger.
Bang!
