Part 3 THE TRAVELER Chapter 162 Laughter
Crane could not comfort Frank Lee against his will, and was too embarrassed to say outright that it was a good thing that the claret fish could not reproduce, so he had to pretend that it was only a trivial matter and make no response.
He took two steps diagonally around to the edge of the ship’s side and looked out over the choppy high and low seas.
By now, the high clouds had lightened and thinned a bit, and the light of the Crimson Moon brightened the dim night a little.
In such an environment, Klein saw the scene not far away clearly, where the dark clouds were layered and pressed down so low that the hurricane that could be found to exist in substance raged back and forth, shrouding an unknown how wide the sea was.
Under the illumination of a channel of silver-white lightning, the thin rainstorm dances with the wind, creating a scene like the end of the world.
Such a horrible disaster might be just a few nautical miles away from the “Future”, or even closer, but this side was hardly affected, only the wind became a little stronger.
This is the significance of the safe passage, in the storm interval forward …… if there is no qualified navigator, perhaps just normal traveling, will also be involved in the disaster …… Klein looked sideways to the front of the ship, only to see that the light is dim, the fog is filled with, the visibility is very low! , and it was difficult to distinguish between dangerous and non-dangerous areas with the naked eye alone.
Similar situation, in the west of Oravi Island is not too obvious, to this side, to the hidden channel, has been the norm.
Klein was about to retract his gaze when he suddenly saw a dark, heavy object that seemed to be hiding at the edge of the storm!
A sea monster? He remembered with a start the rumors of the sea he had heard within one bar or another:
Away from the safety of the shipping lanes, it was easy to meet all sorts of monsters, some of which were so large and aggressive that they would devour the ship in one gulp once they surfaced.
”The Future didn’t stop moving forward, and it didn’t take long for it to close the distance to the eerie, dark behemoth.
Klein finally got a good look at the other party, and realized that it was not a sea monster, but a sailboat even bigger than the “Future”.
The length of this sailboat was close to two hundred meters, the front and back of the ship was high, and the whole ship looked like a curved moon.
Its surface was painted black; the guns on the side of the ship were staggered into three rows, up and down in an orderly manner; the part that protruded out of the deck, excluding the mast, was also towering and huge, equivalent to at least a five-story house.
The oddest point of the ship was that it had only one sail, on which was depicted a black tombstone.
”The Confessor ……” The gruff voice rang in Klein’s ears as Frank Lee, who had somehow discarded the silver-scaled fish that had been blooded with claret, stepped up beside him.
The Mr. First Mate of the £7,000 bounty had a sullen face, and his muscles were tense, as if he might attack at any moment at the slightest change in the huge sailing ship.
The Sentence of Death? Klein froze for a moment, then remembered what the name stood for.
It was one of the most famous and legendary ships on the Five Seas!
It was the flagship of the “Immortal King” Agaritu!
I actually met one of the “four kings”…… Klein secretly staggered, hard to contain turned into a state of high alert.
However, on the surface, he maintained indifference and calm, still looking at the “death sentence ship”.
Thinking about the second mate of the “King of the Undying”, the 9500 pounds bounty “Slaughterer” Gilthias had recently appeared in Naas and warned himself, Klein immediately relieved, no longer wondering why he would meet the “Tattletale” not far from the Galgas Islands. “The Condemned.”
After letting go of that question, he associated it with more rumors, and within those rumors were parts that could be determined to be true descriptions:
”‘The Immortal King’ Agaritu is a middle-aged man so pale that he seems ready to rot;
”His bounty is as high as 100,000 pounds in a single country;
”Those who were once his enemies, whether pirates, adventurers, or some naval fleet, have all perished, with only the other three of the same ‘Four Kings’ still alive;
”He has never clashed head-on with an official demigod, and appears extremely restrained in this regard;
”Almost no one knows his exact sequence, no one understands his extraordinary abilities;
”That he has a cruel nature and a penchant for killing, and that at any time he may launch an attack on any vessel of any person;
”He likes to find excuses to tear up his promises and is widely called ‘The Faithless One’ in addition to the title ‘The Immortal King’.”
Luckily, I’m now traveling on the “Future”, the “King of the Undying” should be able to sell the “General above the Stars” some face, after all, the “Hidden One “Ms.” is also one of the seven pirate generals …… No, “four kings” and pirate generals, in addition to the “King of the Five Seas” convened by the Pirate Assembly can Peaceful coexistence, under normal circumstances, there is cooperation and confrontation, and the latter mostly, a few months ago, “blood on top of the general” and “dusk lieutenant general” on a big battle …… plus The style of the “Immortal King”, things may not just stay on the road! Just as this thought flashed through Klein’s mind, he heard the sound of a low trumpet.
Woo!
The sailors who were resting in the cabin instantly woke up, not bothering to put on their clothes, or went straight to the different gun ports, or came to the deck to make preparations to take over the ship, the “Futura” instantly shifted from a state of peace to a state of war.
Klein turned his head back and looked upwards, only to see that the window of the captain’s room had been opened, and “General above the stars” Gadelia, dressed in unchanged black robes, stood there, gazing at the direction of the “Death Sentence”.
She no longer wore those heavy glasses, her dark eyes were tinted with a little bit of deep purple, deep and mysterious.
”Sure enough, she is also worried about the ‘king of the undead’ suddenly launching an attack ……” Klein retracted his gaze and looked again at the ship with its bow and tail cocked, the “Death Sentence”. “.
At this time, the two ships have been in the state of rubbing shoulders, the opposite side of the pirates vaguely visible.
Those guys are also looking at this side, or as quiet as a statue, does not seem to have a little emotional fluctuations, or waving his sword, blowing the muzzle of the gun, extremely provocative.
At this moment, just one match could ignite the tension and make the battle break out.
In the end, the “death” did not make any movement, still quietly stayed in place, “eye” to see the “future” ship passed by their own, gradually far away.
”Whew……” Frank Lee, who was next to Klein, exhaled without hiding it.
With a renewed smile, he said to Klein:
”Hehe, there have been many rumors about the speculation about the strength of the ‘Immortal King’, some say that he is indeed a demigod, some say that he is only Sequence 5, and only reached the level of Sequence 4 with the help of the ship ‘Suicide’, but no matter Regardless, he has lived long enough, uh …… you say, crossbreed him with my fish, can you enhance their survival cycle?”
Frank was suddenly inspired.
First of all, you have to be able to catch the “King of Immortality”, or, make him interested in your fish …… Klein bellyached twice and said calmly:
”You can talk to him about this.”
Frank Lee froze and sighed in frustration:
”He won’t say yes, he’ll just plant me in the dirt.”
No sooner had he spoken than the Condemned, which had already put some distance between itself and the Future, suddenly turned its sails.
A sharp, malicious laughter came from hundreds of meters away, enveloping the entire “Future”.
”Ha ha ha!
”Ha ha ha!”
That laughter kept echoing, sometimes hoarse, sometimes disorganized, sometimes as if it was murmuring, sometimes as if it was singing, and one by one, the sailors on the deck tumbled to the ground, forcibly covering their ears, but still twisting and struggling in agony.
A patch of fish scales began to grow on the surface of the bodies of some of the Extraordinary Ones.
Klein was similarly affected, only to feel that all kinds of thoughts were stuffed inside his head at once, some good, some bad, some bright, some dark.
They were unusually ponderous, and combined with the ever-changing laughter, they produced a swelling sensation that was about to burst the head.
Klein’s face contorted slightly, and a not-so-subtle bud of flesh stirred beneath the skin.
If he hadn’t seen the ravings of the Real Creator and the cries for help from Mr. Door, and if he hadn’t been similarly ravaged every time he traveled through the fog and had developed a certain level of resistance, Klein would have looked like the “toxin expert” beside him. Frank Lee, the “toxin expert”, pressed his head and crouched down, his expression grimly fighting the pain of that terrible laughter.
Klein noticed that Frank’s face had some short brown hairs growing out of it, and the whole person seemed to be changing in the direction of a giant bear.
At that moment, the symbols and magical markings on the bulkheads, decks, and masts of the “Future” lit up in layers, like a sea of stars on a moonless night, densely packed with sparkle.
The horrible laughter, either shrill or hoarse, did not diminish as a result, but it seemed to distance itself from the crowd at once, coming from even further away, seeming empty and unreal.
The bulge in Klein’s head eased considerably at once, and at last there was room to look upwards.
Behind the open window of the captain’s cabin, the face of the “General above the stars” was marked with dark traces, which seemed to be ready to crack and grow something disgusting at any moment.
At that moment, Kadriya’s palms were pressed on the window sill, and there were some starbursts around her body, which seemed to correspond to the bright ocean of the “Future Ship”.
Whoo!
Gusts of wind rose out of the air, the sails adjusted themselves, the “Future” in the case of losing the sailor’s maneuvering, the speed did not decrease, but increased, flying away from the “Death Sentence”.
Klein looked at the room where mysterious eyes were watching the deck during the day, and found that the windows there were clattered by the gale, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Whoops!
In the gale, the starlight came down, forming a piece of “ice floe”, supporting the “future” ship “flying” rapidly.
Finally, the figure of the ship disappeared in the rear, and the terrible laughter that could make people lose control or go crazy became more and more illusory and distant.
Frank Lee lowered his hands, gasping for air, barely slowed down, the sailors on the deck still rolled and struggled, extremely painful, but the situation is no longer worsening.
”‘Immortal King’ this ability is really powerful, it is simply impossible to defend …… No wonder he is ‘one of the four kings’ …… “Klein frowned slightly and sighed with emotion.
Although he had a lot of experience and insight, this was the first time he was directly attacked by a demigod in the true sense of the word, and he found that even Agaritu, who was ranked at the bottom of the ‘Four Kings’, also made himself feel vulnerable, and it seemed that there was not the slightest possibility of resistance.
With Agaritu’s style, would he let the “Death Star” keep chasing him? Although it is likely that he will wait for the return of Gilthias the Slaughterer, this possibility cannot be ruled out……. If he catches up, I will pray to myself and use the “Neptune’s Scepter” to give him a whirlpool, a storm, a storm, a storm, a storm, a storm, a storm, a storm, a storm, a storm, a storm, and a storm, and a storm. A whirlpool, a storm, a lightning wash …… Klein made up his mind, and then once again looked at the “star above the general” Gadelia.
The pirate general’s face has become extremely pale, but there is no longer a trace of darkness, and the starbursts around her body are slowly dying out a little bit.
