Part 3 The Traveler Chapter 155 The Future
”Ready?” Colin asked, his back to the window, his tone uncharacteristic.
Derek, with his Hurricane Axe, lowered his head slightly:
”Ready.”
In the past two months, with the help of one patrol mission and hard practice, he had completely mastered the various extraordinary abilities of the “Sun God Officer”, and was not too far from digesting them.
What he hoped for most now was to obtain the magic potion formula for the “Sun” pathway sequence 6 within the next two to three tarot gatherings, laying the foundation for his continued advancement.
–The release of “Shepherd” Lovia gave him a strong sense of crisis, and he thought that only by reaching the same Sequence 5 could he effectively restrain the other party and eliminate the potential crisis in Silver City, however, after knowing the “Playing Method” and not lacking too much of the “Playing Method”, he was able to get the formula for the “Sun” pathway magic potion. However, in a place where the “playing method” is well understood and where there is no shortage of extraordinary materials, as long as one can survive patrols and quests and accumulate enough merits, Sequence 6 is definitely a target that can be aimed at, but Sequence 5, which requires specific rituals, is quite difficult.
Colin, who had a mishmash of white hair, nodded:
”In two days, I will be leading an exploration team to the vicinity of the Giant’s Court to do a secondary cleanup of the previously found Afternoon Town, and your abilities are well suited for such a thing.”
”Afternoon Town ……” Derek, who had been frantically “cramming” his knowledge of mythology in recent months, was not unfamiliar with this term, which was the necessary road for the Silver Kingdom to travel to the Court of Giants, where humans and giants lived in mixed communities. There, humans and giants mixed in the towns, clustered around the ancient god’s abode, which was forever frozen in dusk, like the final gateway from the real world to the myths and legends.
”Yes, Your Chief Excellency.” Derek could find no reason to refuse.
……
Inside an inn in the “White City” of Nass.
Klein sat behind a table, looking out the window at the ever-changing shapes of the clouds, quietly waiting for the evening to come.
At eight o’clock, he would board the Star Pirates’ flagship, the Future, at Pier 6 and head to the easternmost part of the Sunia Sea, where he would no longer have anything to do with whatever happened in the Galgas Islands and the waters known as the Pirates’ Paradise.
That’s why he tolerated the small number of pirates with bounties walking the streets and hanging out in bars and casinos, and didn’t try to hunt them, lest he disrupt his own plans to find the mermaids.
My spiritual intuition tells me that at noon the “slaughterer” Gilchrist seems to be on my …… If he really wants to deliver, I do not mind too much, well, strategic contempt, tactical importance, not to use the “Neptune” and “scepter” and “Neptune” and “scepter”. Without the use of the Scepter of Neptune and the Glove of Fire, I’m at most a little better than him, but I’m better in terms of comprehensiveness and weirdness. …… Klein half-closed his eyes and visualized the countless balls of light that were gathered together, and by doing so, he flew into a meditative state to keep his spiritual acuity. spiritual acuity.
I don’t know how long it took, but he had a sudden touch of inspiration, and his eyes opened at once.
By now, the sun had set to the west, its fiery red color burning the sea, and the shadow of the curtain trailed long in the room.
The shadow seemed to come to life, first shifting and swaying, then twisting and standing up, and casting itself on the wall.
It was black and deep and dark, as if made of the slimy malice at the lowest level of the human heart.
Klein watched the scene without expression, his left palm raised, slowly stretching up his five fingers in front of him.
The pitch-black shadow with a voice as rough as if it contained a piece of emery cloth looked at Klein and said:
”Germaine Sparrow!
”Don’t meddle in the business of noon.
”It is the will of the ‘King of the Undying’.”
When he had finished speaking, the shadow slid down in a flowing stream, dispersed into the gloom, and resumed its original state.
Klein didn’t bother to pay attention to the shadow’s change, instead casting his gaze outside.
He could detect that the person manipulating the shadow was somewhere across the street, and thus had no thoughts of making a move towards the illusory object.
”Sure enough, ‘Slaughterer’ Gilhias recognized me as the crazy adventurer Germaine Sparrow who loves hunting pirates, so he turned away at noon without hesitation, he wasn’t necessarily afraid of me, it’s just that there were other more powerful adventurers at the time… …
”The ability he just displayed is a bit similar to that ‘Apostle of Desire’ from Bekrand, more and more like an extraordinary person of the ‘Demon’ pathway ……
”Heh, using the ‘Immortal King’ to scare me, thinking that will make me submit? I didn’t even think of getting involved! In that case, I’m a bit curious instead ……Forget it, finding the mermaid is the most important thing at the moment, can’t create accidents on my own …… “Klein retracted his line of sight, and slandered twice in his heart.
He originally thought about whether to inform the Church of the War God in Naas about this in passing, but after thinking about it seriously, he realized that it would hardly be of much significance.
The Church of the God of War was the only legitimate religion of the Vrsak Empire, and the number of high sequence powerhouses was indeed a little bit more than the Church of the Goddess of the Night, but only a little bit, even if you add the demigods of the Vrsak royal family and the military, in the context of the country’s vast territory and a lot of colonies, there were too many key places that needed to be protected, and the manpower was similarly strained, and the Galgas Islands, which were far away from the empire, had an ordinary geographic location, and only had a well-developed whaling related industry for the time being, undoubtedly only ranked in the second sequence. The archipelago undoubtedly can only be ranked as the second sequence, with no Saint to guard it.
According to the information that Klein had learned beforehand, the Archbishop of Galgas of the Church of the God of War was only a “guardian” of sequence 5, and he, together with an executioner of the Inquisition, a baron of the royal family, and a brigadier-general of the military, together constituted the top level of the extraordinary combat power here.
Of course, the existence of seals is the key to ensure the domination of this place, Klein suspected that the Church of the God of War in Nas has at least one “1” level seal, only then, with the fleet and the extraordinary people, to ensure that the whale oil refining industry and the “gray amber” foreign trade industry will not be controlled by pirates, to ensure that this place does not become a pirate control. Only then can we cooperate with the fleet and the Extraordinaires to ensure that the whale oil refining industry and the “gray amber” foreign trade industry are not controlled by pirates, that this place doesn’t become a vassal of one of the “four kings”, and that in the event of a sudden attack, we can support ourselves until reinforcements arrive.
Because of this, the official power of the Galgas Islands is always in the state of contraction defense, the pirates as long as they do not make a big deal, are allowed to let them in and out of here at ease.
Notification is not much use ah …… No wonder this place is called Pirate Paradise, no wonder Bilt wants to organize a mutual aid society of adventurers …… Klein burst out sighing and gave up his previous intention.
After having dinner and resting for a while, Klein took out his gold cased pocket watch and pressed it open to look at the time.
Seeing that it was already seven o’clock, he began to hold a ritual, summoning himself and responding to himself in order to bring different items in and out of the gray fog and adjust the configuration of his body.
Because he would be adventuring on the “Future” at sea, the “Fishman’s Sleeve Nail” and all kinds of charms of Neptune’s realm belonged to the necessity, so Klein put the “Fire Seed” gloves and the “Sun Brooch”. “Sun Brooch” above the gray mist, with “Creeping Hunger” as the main force, along with “Biotoxin Vials” and revolvers with different extraordinary bullets. –He still had 7 Purification Bullets, 13 Demon Hunting Bullets, and 2 Exorcism Bullets left.
Putting on his coat, Klein slipped the brass-colored Aztec whistle that lay on the surface of the table and the money clip containing only fifty pounds in cash into the inside pocket of his clothing, and then packed the silver-white adventurer’s harmonica with the charms.
With that done, he touched the pistol in his armpit, lightly rubbed the azure cufflinks on his left wrist, buttoned up his double-breasted tuxedo, fastened his half-height silk bowler hat, lifted his black suitcase containing only a change of clothes and a handful of day-to-day necessities, and, pulling the door of his room open, he stepped out of the inn and rode in a carriage straight for the harbor area.
After waiting at Pier 6 for a while, he saw a huge sailing ship slowly emerging in the distance.
From his limited knowledge of ships, Klein knew that a sailboat of that length was unscientific, but that didn’t stop the other ship from moving gently forward through the dark, heavy sea toward the lighthouse that gave off its light.
The schooner drew nearer and nearer, the flag becoming clearer and clearer, and the scarlet but faint moonlight allowed those in the harbor to see ten white stars of the same size on it, and those stars encircling an indifferent eye without eyelashes.
”Admiral above the stars!”
”The Future Ship!”
The pirates and sailors guarding the ship let out sounds of consternation, and all the docks in the entire harbor area were filled with agitation all at once.
After another ten seconds or so, the coast defense guns on the hills on both sides “nervously” adjusted themselves and aimed at the huge sailing ship that did not make any cover.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The distant church bells chimed, and the time had just reached eight o’clock.
As the tightness of the harbor area became more pronounced, the Mirai came to a stop.
A lady in a black classical robe had somehow appeared at the bow of the ship, her clothes covered with different symbols and magical signs, like a powerful sorcerer from ancient legends.
Under the scarlet moonlight, a light suddenly shone in front of her, and a little bit of bright starlight landed, condensing into a transparent long bridge.
The long bridge continued to extend forward and landed on the head of No. 6.
Very card face ah …… worthy of being one of the seven pirate generals, but also than the “iceberg” “disease” their level a little higher “admiral “…… Klein sighed while trying to reach out and cover his face.
He didn’t want it to be known that the crazy adventurer Germaine Sparrow had worked with the “Star Admiral” Gadelia.
At this point, we can only maintain the persona, wait for me to digest, when I return to the northern continent, there will be no Gelman Sparrow this person …… Klein out of the shadows, clicked the top of the head of the half-height silk bowler hat, the pace of smooth walking on the starlight cohesion of the long bridge.
Landing solidly, steady as iron, Klein walked straight-backed, unhurriedly and unhurriedly, under the aim of a single shore gun, and under the gaze of a single, meaningless eye, toward the Future, anchored just outside the harbor.
The long bridge under his feet was transparent, and the deep blue and black water swayed gently, making people who were afraid of heights feel weak.
Fortunately, I have long been a “clown”, even jumped from the bell tower …… Klein’s expression was indifferent as he walked the last ten meters, stepping on the deck of the future ship.
In the face of the “Star General”, whose eyes were deep black and purple, he did not feel nervous, took off his hat, and saluted:
”Good evening, ma’am.”
