Part 3 The Traveler Chapter 156 The Toxin Expert
While Klein saluted, the violet of Kadriya’s eyes, whose black hair was simply draped over her head, turned inward and seemed to turn into an abyss that could suck out souls, and the mysterious flavor that she already possessed became more and more pronounced.
She saw that the surface of Germaine Sparrow’s etheric body’s deep astral spirit body was lightless and pure darkness, and that in subtle ways, dark currents surged and changed endlessly;
She saw that Germaine Sparrow’s left hand was luminous and bright, but tinged with a color of blood so rich that it could not be melted;
She saw that Germaine Sparrow’s cuffs had an azure glow, and that the silver and white of his left pocket flowed in vivid colors, as if connected to an illusory, overlapping spirit world, surrounded by a tidal wave of illusory winds and vague sounds of many things;
She saw Gelman Sparrow’s right pocket of lime green interspersed with black awnings, two dots each of gold, silver, and copper under his armpits, and a deep grayish white at his chest position, as if he had rotted to death.
Four magical items, extraordinary artifacts or spiritual charms in units of ten …… “Stars above the generals” Kadriya’s eyes were vaguely a little shaken, and she couldn’t help but close them for a moment.
She nodded obediently:
”Good evening, Mr. Sparrow.”
Even as a powerful person whose reputation had spread over the sea for many years, a senior leader among the seven pirate generals, she had rarely met such a person who had armed himself to the teeth with transcendental items.
Of course, it is not true that she has never seen more magical items, extraordinary artifacts and spiritual spells than this number, but there is a hidden organization behind it, and there are several ships and thousands of pirates under her command, and a lot of things have to be handed over, distributed, and sold, in order to maintain and grow their own power, and the things that can be left in their hands are not too much.
This “not much” is relative, almost comparable to Germaine Sparrow’s current situation, but through various exchanges, Gadelia has made them into only two pieces – powerful enough and magical enough to match the status of a pirate general.
In addition to those glowing colors representing different items, Gadelia’s black eyes, tinted with a hint of deep purple, could vaguely see that Germaine Sparrow wasn’t real enough, and seemed to be hiding in a thick curtain of shadows.
This, this is why he gave me the sense of the non-living at the Tarot? His secret is not small, at least it involves the saints of Sequence 3, or even higher angels …… Gadelia did not dare to look at it more, and the light of her eyes was no longer so deep and ghostly.
At the same time, she laughed to herself in her heart, feeling a little funny about the part of the “world” that speculated about Germaine Sparrow:
”Involving a Saint of Sequence 3, or even an Angel of a higher rank, huh, that statement is perfectly fine, as he is a member of the Tarot Society, as am I. Definitely involving Mr. ‘Fool’, who is suspected of having awakened an ancient god.”
After greeting each other, without pleasantries or shilly-shallying, Gadelia led Klein towards the entrance of the cabin.
At this time, the stopped “Future” restarted and drew a long arc on the surface of the sea, heading to the east along the whaling route, and the tense atmosphere in the Nas harbor dissipated.
A glance originating from the sailors was cast, and Crane, without a trace of consternation, looked round, and said in a tone of home-like ease:
”Fewer people than I expected.”
”Above the stars will be,” responded Gadelia simply, glancing at him sideways:
”Going east of the Whaling Voyage is a very dangerous thing to do, and only Ludwell frequents that area, seemingly in search of something.
”None of the other ships of the Corsairs will be going over there except for the Future, and again, most of the sailors have been put on other ships by me, leaving only the minimum number of people here to ensure the voyage.”
Very sensible move …… Ludwell, the “Admiral of Hell” Ludwell? When Mr. “Inverted Man” first mentioned him, he said that he had begun another voyage to explore the eastern end of the Sunian Sea …… Klein nodded gently and said nothing more.
It was the air of Germaine Sparrow.
He looked around in silence and realized that the decks, bulkheads, and masts of the “Future” were covered with mysterious and abstract symbols, which seemed to be overlapping into a huge ritual magic.
Like the “Golden Dream”, it is a mysterious sailing ship, but not to the level of a ghost ship …… and “General above the stars”, “Iceberg Lieutenant-General Compared to the “Star General” and “Iceberg Lieutenant General”, Tracy, who has only been a pirate general for a few months, is obviously a little bit worse, and there is nothing unique about the “Black Death”……. Klein retracted his line of sight, and followed Gadelia to the entrance of the cabin.
Here waiting for a man wearing back pants, white shirt, he is about thirty, physical fitness, thick sweat hair, so that the exposed small arms as if over a layer of brown sweater.
He wore a round-brimmed hat that was sunken in the center, and with a bright smile, he extended his right hand:
”First mate of the ‘Future,’ Frank Lee.
”Good evening, Mr. Sparrow.”
Frank Lee, the “toxin expert” with a bounty of 7,000 pounds …… Klein recognized the other party at once.
Considering that Germaine Sparrow was not in the habit of shaking hands with people, he bent his back slightly and said:
”Good evening.”
Frank Lee retracted his right hand, glanced at “General above the Stars” Gadelia, and said with an unabated smile:
”You seem to know me? Just as well, I once had a picture taken that made it onto my Most Wanted list.
”Never mind the ‘toxin expert’, I’m a pretty friendly guy, as long as I don’t have to deal with those damn guys! My biggest hobby is researching soil, crop and variety hybridization techniques, and believe me, that’s the future of mankind.”
”But the people of the Church of Mother Earth don’t believe that.” Gadelia made an introduction for Klein in a very cryptic way.
Originally from Mother Earth Goddess? Species hybridization technology is quite good ah, only when the yield is increased can we feed more humans and make the bottom of poverty higher …… Klein looked at Frank Lee and said calmly, half politely and half sincerely:
”It’s a good thing.”
”…… You really are an adventurer who doesn’t care about worldly views! Very good, very good! There are just too few people like you in this world!” Frank Lee’s blue eyes revealed obvious surprise, “I was almost sent to the court of judgment by the people of the Church of the Mother Goddess just by trying to cross bulls, cows, and wheat together so that the calves could grow like wheat, O Mother of Mercy, they didn’t really understand your will at all!”
Bull, cow and wheat crossbreeding …… you devil …… Klein then realized that the breed crossbreeding technology he understood was not at all the same thing as what the other party was talking about.
He kept his expression unchanged and did not try to make any explanations, and led by Frank Lee, whose enthusiasm had risen steeply, he walked side by side with the “General of the Stars”, Gloria, in the corridor.
After stepping on the stairs to the higher level, Klein was inspired to look into the shadows to the side.
There, twisting in the darkness, grew a figure, tall and thin but pale.
The skin of his cheeks was nearly transparent, the bridge of his nose was incongruously high, and his whole person had a sickly look about him.
”This is our second mate on the ‘Future’, Heath Doyle.” Frank Lee introduced with a smile.
Heath the Bloodless, whose bounty is higher than yours, amounting to 7,600 pounds? Klein quickly corresponded with the correct wanted man.
Heath nodded in greeting, then retreated back into the shadows in silence.
”He’s a ‘Rose Bishop’.” Turning on his way to the captain’s cabin, Frank Lee spoke enthusiastically of Heath Doyle.
Straight out of the gate, he told me the sequence of his own second mate? Klein nearly raised an eyebrow.
He glanced quietly at Admiral “Above the Stars” Gadelia and realized that the other man was vaguely bemused.
”Are you surprised and worried, afraid that he’s a devout follower of the ‘True Creator’, a tainted madman? No, haha, he’s a lucky guy, because of a certain accident, he who was originally an ordinary person was sprinkled with a magic potion concocted by the ‘Rose Bishop’s’ extraordinary materials, and was infiltrated a little bit to hold up again, and ultimately became one of the more peculiar extraordinary people. Because he didn’t go through the ‘Listener’ stage, he didn’t get contaminated, didn’t become crazy, and as long as he doesn’t actively use the extraordinary ability of ‘Listening’, he will always be normal.” Frank Lee said braggingly.
Really enviable guy ah, a moment to the sequence 6, and not like the sea serpent Kavituva mental disorder …… Klein sighed secretly, watched the “star above the general” opened the door of the captain’s room.
Gadelia pointed inside and said:
”Your room is diagonally across the hall, Frank will take you there, and if there’s anything, you can just come here and find me.
”You’ll be able to go to the dining room for your meals, at any time, or you can have Frank send food to your room, it’s mostly up to you which way you prefer.”
”General above the stars” handles things very ably and sharply, ah, well, a mature and intelligent lady …… Klein praised in his heart and responded without any change in expression:
”Good.”
He seized this opportunity to look at the arrangement of the captain’s interior, and found that there were bookcases, full-length mirrors, tables, and carpets inside.
I can’t believe that he still reads books, isn’t it too late to digest the knowledge instilled by the “Hidden Sage”…… Klein thought with a slight sense of amusement.
At this time, Frank Lee, who saw the two sides finish their conversation, enthusiastically promoted:
”Mr. Sparrow, would you like a baked potato tonight?
”It has the texture of beef, it tastes like beef, but it is indeed a potato.”
Will this make you sick if you eat it …… Klein replied coldly:
”I don’t eat late night snacks.”
”Fine.” Frank Lee shrugged his shoulders and was about to lead Klein to his room.
Just at this time, “General above the Stars” Gadelia thought for a moment:
”Mr. Sparrow, you should have hunted quite a few enemies and gained a lot of loot.
”I wonder how many extraordinary characteristics you have left? Perhaps they can be used to offset the remaining ship’s capital.”
Klein considered for a moment and answered frankly:
”Sold most of them.
”Still have the ‘Inquisitor’, ‘Gladiator’, and ‘Madman’ ones left.”
He didn’t mention the ‘All Black Eye’ or the extraordinary properties of the ‘Nightmare’.
Sure enough, the most famous adventurer in recent months …… with most of them sold out still has three copies of the extraordinary traits …… Kadriya sighed darkly and mused:
”I’ll take ‘fighter’.”
She had a “warrior” from the Galgath Islands under her command who had already accumulated enough merits to apply for advancement.
