Part 3 The Traveler Chapter 192 Leaving the Ship
This is running too fast, right …… I just had a thought …… Klein looked at the undulating waves of the sea, briefly actually unable to return to his mind.
Between the flashes of thoughts, he vaguely had a guess:
”Immortal King” Agaritu’s second mate, “Slaughterer” Gilchrist is suspected of being a “demon”, or even “Apostle of Desire”, who has the ability to detect the presence of a demon in advance. “The Undying King” is suspected to be a “Demon”, or even an “Apostle of Desire”, and has the extraordinary ability to detect danger in advance and pinpoint the source of the danger, so could the “Undying King” himself be a Sequence 4 Demigod of the “Demon” Pathway!
”So, after the people of the ‘Future Ship’ possessed the strength that could actually jeopardize him and had the idea to put it into practice, he immediately sensed the problem in advance, discovered the existence of the ‘Mysterious Queen’, and without hesitation made the retreating decision?
”Well, this means that the ‘Mysterious Queen’ also had the urge to strike just now, otherwise, my intention alone would only cause the ‘Immortal King’ to sneer twice and counterattack madly… …
”Ai, this extraordinary ability of the ‘Demon’ Pathway is really good, it’s simply unlikely to be able to dig a hole to bury the ‘King of the Undying’, or his first, second, or third lieutenants… … “With a burst of emotion, Klein looked sideways at Anderson Hood, who was standing next to him.
The strongest hunter’s expression was still clearly twisted, as if he was both despairing that his bad luck had not abated, and surprised that the “Confessor” had escaped with its tail tucked between its legs, giving people the impression that the script had been taken incorrectly.
His eyes flickered, and he looked around speculatively, seeming to associate it with something.
Unfortunately, Anderson, this guy’s bad luck is not strong enough, otherwise he could be sacrificed, successfully fishing on the “king of the undead”…… Oh, isn’t this the correct use of the “provocateur”? I’m not going to be able to do that, but I’m going to be able to do that. Klein turned into the corridor and returned to his room.
He just pushed open the wooden door, he saw a familiar back figure standing in front of the window, the body proportion is excellent, dress slightly odd, is the “mysterious queen” Bernardet.
Lady, hasn’t your father taught you? Don’t just go into other people’s rooms, especially strange men’s rooms? As a lady of noble birth and good upbringing, you should have waited at the door and sincerely asked me if you could come …… into the room, haven’t you recalled any educational books? Klein spat a few silent words and closed the door of the room with his hand.
Without waiting for him to open his mouth, the “Queen of Mysteries” Bernadette turned her back to him and spoke:
”What happened before confirms an idea of mine.”
”What idea?” Klein suppressed his curiosity and asked back with an indifferent expression.
Without turning her head, Bernadette looked out the window at the sea level and said:
”The legend of Agaritu’s ‘Fountain of Youth’ is a hoax.
”If there really was an ‘Fountain of Agelessness’, it would only be one of the main ingredients of the ‘Ageless Witches’ or born from their corpses, so anyone who is a male and claims to have drunk from the ‘ Fountain of Agelessness’ is lying.”
She didn’t explain what a “Fountainhead” was, seeming certain that Germaine Sparrow must know, or if he didn’t, he had somewhere to ask afterward.
”The Fountain” …… “Fountain Witch” …… is quite the counterpart… …So the bloodstained letters on the sailboat next to the ruins were meant to tell the world that “The Fountain is a hoax”? The “King of Immortality” Agaritu has been releasing information about the “Fountain” time and time again to lure adventurers and pirates into the dangerous waters, to bury themselves, or to take advantage of the opportunity to carry out massacres? Strong demonic style …… No wonder “Slaughterer” Gilthias had to warn me to stay out of it …… Klein thought for a few seconds and deliberately said in a pondering tone:
”Deception ……”
”Queen of Mystery,” Bernadette said in a soft voice as she nodded:
”It may be a part of the ritual required for Agaritu’s promotion to Sequence 4, or it may be the act of digesting the Sequence 4 magic potion.”
She paused and seemed to do a silent sigh before speaking:
”Because the Sequence 4 of the pathway he’s on is called, ‘The Devil’.”
”Devil”? Sounds very cunning ah …… put the treasure scam to harm people’s behavior is perfectly in line with the style of the “devil” …… Klein a moment indistinct.
At that moment, the “Queen of Mystery” turned her body, and the gaze coming out from behind the black veil of the fine lattice looked into Germaine Sparrow’s eyes.
Is it my turn to provide information? Klein deliberated for two seconds:
”According to the limited analysis of the diaries, Emperor Rossel suffered an extremely serious predicament in his later years, which forced him to develop the idea of attempting insane behavior.”
In this regard, he was very frank, as the diaries he had obtained so far really didn’t reveal what exactly Rossel the Great had wanted to do in his later years, what kind of predicament he had encountered, and what kind of crazy behavior he had done.
Therefore, by providing this information, he was also suggesting to Bernardet that if he wanted to find out the truth, he should bring the diary of Rossel the Great’s critical period to “General above the stars” Gadelia.
The “Queen of Mysteries” Bernadette was silent for a few seconds and did not say anything.
As the clouds moved in and the sun shone in, the Queen of the Five Seas suddenly separated, shattered and disappeared like a pile of soap bubbles.
The light reflected from the bubbles split into different colors, creating a fairy tale-like dreamy scene in the room.
If there is no “Hidden Sage”, the “Secret Snooper” pathway is really quite interesting …… Klein sighed as he pinched the first joint of his index finger twice with his left thumb.
He opened the hidden vision brought by the “spiritual body line”, and did not find any extra black thin line in the room.
This means that the “Queen of Mysteries”, Bernadette, has indeed left!
Hoo…… Klein exhaled silently and quickly shut down the vision.
He was about to lie down on his bed and rest for a while when he suddenly heard light footsteps approaching.
There was a knock on the door of his room.
”Who?” Klein rolled over and sat up.
”Me.” “Above the stars will be,” came in Gadelia’s voice.
Klein leaned over a bit puzzled and opened the door to the room.
He didn’t open his mouth to ask what was up, looking at the other man indifferently, his gaze saying it all.
Gadelia pushed the heavy glasses on the bridge of her nose and said:
”Coming out of that sea won’t return to where you entered before, it’s less than 100 nautical miles from Tuscart Island, and it’ll take about three days to get to Naas, so where do you wish to return to?”
Going in or coming out not in the same place? Klein, slightly stunned, asked confirmatively:
”So you can get into that sea from here?”
”No, it would fall directly into the gap that cuts off the ocean where the bottom cannot be seen. According to the divination results, anyone who does so is truly dead.” Gadelia briefly explained twice.
This way ah…… Klein thought about it and said:
”Go to Tuscart Island.”
The reason why he didn’t choose Nass was because it was already very close to calling the next Tarot Gathering, and he didn’t want to do this time-consuming thing on the “Future”.
Moreover, Tuscart Island was the easternmost colony of the Kingdom of Ruin, and the common currencies were pennies, Sool, and gold pounds, so Klein didn’t need to think about exchanging them anymore.
”Good.” Gadelia had no comment.
Watching her turn around and walk towards the captain’s room, Klein shook his head with a small amplitude and sighed inwardly:
”If you had come over earlier, you would have met the ‘Mysterious Queen’.”
……
In the evening, the “Future” arrived at the harbor of Tuscany Island and docked at the pier.
Klein dressed as a gentleman, carrying a leather suitcase, walked on the deck, took out the final payment placed in the pockets of both sides of his coat, and handed it to the “Star General” Kadriya.
Deducting the 700 pounds for the extraordinary features of the “fighter,” the total was 1,300 pounds.
After deducting the 700 pounds for the “Fighter” extraordinary trait, the total amount was 1300 pounds, which left Klein with 8436 pounds and 5 gold coins in cash.
Gadelia took it in silence, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn’t.
”Are you getting off here, or going somewhere else?” She turned to Anderson Hood.
Thinking of Germaine Sparrow’s impending departure, of the fact that this was a pirate ship, and of the fact that he’d hunted quite a few pirates, Anderson immediately piled on a smile:
”Right here.”
”You can pay for the ship.” Gadelia didn’t let Anderson off the hook just because he had even borrowed a change of clothes from the pirates.
”Okay.” Anderson didn’t hide his heartbroken expression as he reached down and ripped off one of the plain buttons in the center section of his shirt.
He handed it over reluctantly and said:
”This is the only thing I have left from that ocean, originating from the body of a Rune military explorer.
”I’m not sure of its original name, but can only call it, well, ‘Judge’ based on the abilities displayed and the name of the corresponding Sequence 6.
”Its negative effects aren’t particularly strong, in that they make the wearer susceptible to offending people or monsters, and perhaps accidentally being targeted by one of the demigods.”
You call that not particularly strong? If I were the “General above the Stars”, I would definitely choose that sword of yours …… Klein said a few words of slander, and saw that Gadelia had received the ship’s capital paid by Anderson Hood.
He did not care about other people’s business, carrying a suitcase, left the “Future”, boarded the pier of Tuscany Island.
Bang!
Anderson Hood leaped straight off the edge of the deck and landed next to him.
”Going for a drink? Celebrate that we’re finally out of those damn waters!” The hunter invited excitedly and easily.
Klein swept him off his feet for a moment and signaled his refusal with a look, wanting nothing more than to stay as far away as possible from this doom-laden and self-provocative aura.
”Okay.” Anderson glanced around and cleared his throat, “Can you lend me some money? You know, my haul of my cash is sunk in that ocean.”
At that, he smiled:
”Don’t worry, I’ll pay you back in the morning, there are just as many pirates in the bars and brothels of Toskat, I’m going to ask them to finance me a little.”
Extort money if you don’t have a bounty, and just take the cash if you do? Klein tsked inwardly and took out a five-soule bill, handing it to Anderson.
”So little?” Anderson said with his mouth half open.
”Enough for a drink, a meal, and a hotel.” Klein responded flatly, “And it’s one pound in cash.”
”A pound?” Anderson rubbed his eyes and laughed helplessly, “Well, it’s a pound, and I’ll pay you back a pound in the morning.”
