Part 3 THE TRAVELER CHAPTER 193 FELLOWSHIPING

　　Fearing Gelman Sparrow’s backtracking, Anderson grabbed the five-soule bill and oiled his mind with thoughts of stealing annoyingly regular beef and alcoholic beverages without any added tranquilizers over a fire sans dam.

　　Yo, this guy even accepted it, I will just casually say it, concave the persona, and let him understand that my money is not so good to borrow, lest he does not want to go hunting pirates, and intends to borrow a large amount of money to go directly back to the side of the Misty Sea …… Klein muttered a couple of sentences in his heart.

　　In his opinion, a serial 5 “hunter”, in a place with many pirates, even if there is not a penny on his body, he will not starve himself and have no place to sleep.

　　He shook his head slightly invisibly and was about to move forward to leave the dock when a rough shout suddenly came from behind him:

　　”Germaine!”

　　Crane, who …… heard the voice of Frank Lee, winced and turned back in a tense frame of mind.

　　The first mate of the “Future”, the “toxin expert” with a reward of 7,000 pounds, stood by the side of the ship, folded his hands over his mouth, and asked in an amplified voice:

　　”Where do you frequent? Where should I send my letters?

　　”I wish to share my latest research with you.”

　　I don’t really want to know …… This guy identifies as a friend shouldn’t have many friends, and I’d wager that the vast majority of the ones he considers friends don’t really consider him a friend …… Well, “The Star Above will be Well, “General of the Stars” is more of a “Queen of Mystery” emotionally, and doesn’t have enough of a sense of belonging to the Tarot Society to be able to openly develop a second fiddle, nay, a source of information around her that would serve as a deterrent, a sort of knockout punch for the Gelman Sparrow tier… …With this prelude, it would be more reasonable and natural for Mr. “Fool” to give her another knock …… Klein’s thoughts turned sharply, and he took out the note paper and absorbent pen used for divination from his clothing pocket.

　　He swiped and wrote down his messenger’s summoning ritual, not forgetting to mark that a gold coin must be included in the ritual materials.

　　With a whoosh, Klein flicked his wrist, causing the note pad to shoot like a dart toward Frank Lee, landing accurately in the other man’s palm.

　　”Very good!” Frank Lee glanced at the message on the paper and waved his hand in delight.

　　Without further delay, Crane, carrying his suitcase, left the dock and looked up the hotel.

　　In the process, he was about to firmly decline Anderson’s offer to stay at the same hotel, but after some thought, he agreed.

　　He was afraid that this jinxed fellow would go wrong again and bring disaster to the innocent patrons and waiters in the inn, so he intended to monitor the area nearby and deal with it decisively if he had to.

　　After checking in, Anderson took the key, opened the door and entered his room.

　　Bang! He sat down on the easy chair with a butt as if he was unloading a heavy burden.

　　After leaving that dangerous sea, he finally got back the feeling of being a human being and not having to worry about dying horizontally at any time.

　　After lying still for a while, Anderson Hood rose slowly, picked up the warm water bottle with its steel casing, tipped over the glass, and poured himself a cup of hot water.

　　He figured it was time to buck up and go around the bar:

　　Have a drink, fill his stomach, look for funding!

　　Waiting for the hot water to cool slightly, Anderson picked up the glass and made a gurgling sound as he drank.

　　Suddenly, he coughed violently, coughing so hard that his face turned a little purple.

　　Cough! Cough! Cough!

　　Anderson reached out and grabbed for his throat, a breath that seemed to have gone out of his mouth.

　　With a click, the glass fell from his hand and hit the floor in pieces.

　　Cough cough cough …… Anderson’s coughing voice was getting weaker and weaker, and a face was already swollen and bruised.

　　At this moment, fire was vaguely emerging within his eyes, and the veins on the back of his hands wriggled as if they had a life of their own.

　　Bang!

　　Anderson fell to the ground, convulsed a few times, and promptly lost movement, even his breathing seemed to have stopped.

　　Dozens of seconds later, the corpse-like Anderson suddenly rolled over and sat up, touching his face hole in hindsight:

　　”Bastard, just now almost choked to death due to drinking water ……

　　”If that’s the case, I can probably be the hunter with the funniest cause of death!

　　”Fortunately, fortunately, before entering that sea, I spent a lot of money to buy this thing, and today it finally came in handy ……”

　　As he spoke, Anderson took out a straw-tied-like doll doll from a concealed pocket in his vest lining, on which two eyes, a nose and a mouth had been rudimentarily drawn in ink.

　　The doll’s surface had been corroded and was dropping drops of dark liquid.

　　It was only a matter of seven or eight seconds before it completely melted into liquid and became a stain on the floor.

　　”It’s amazing that this doom hasn’t abated yet, and it seems to have gotten even more ferocious …… Hiss, Germaine Sparrow once relayed a prophecy to me that said that the deadliest dangers are often hidden in the most ordinary lives.” Anderson paced back and forth, carefully avoiding the broken glass at his feet, fearing that this would lead to another death.

　　”No, you must save yourself! Save yourself at once!” Anderson jerked open the door to his room and cautiously stepped outside.

　　He made his way to the outside of Klein’s room, flexed his fingers, and thumped on the door.

　　Soon the wooden door, which was neither sturdy nor heavy, opened with little sound, and Germaine Sparrow, who had merely removed his long dress coat, appeared before Anderson’s eyes.

　　Anderson squeezed out a smile and said:

　　”Surprise?”

　　Clang!

　　The door to the room slammed heavily in front of him.

　　”……” he began, then said to himself with a stiff expression, “I’ll have to adjust the way I talk.”

　　Knock knock knock!

　　He knocked on the door of Klein’s room again.

　　The door of the room opened quickly and a revolver was aimed at him.

　　”Haha, I meant to ask, do you know any extraordinary people who can help people transit?” Anderson half raised his hands, frantically imploring Germaine Sparrow to name the powerful man who had provided the prophecy.

　　It’s too late, the “Queen of Mysteries” has already gone …… somewhere Huh, she didn’t even leave me a way to contact her? However, since the summoning ceremony of my messenger is known by Frank Lee, it is also the same as the “General above the stars” knows, it is also the same as Bernadette knows, and also, after returning to Birkeland, you can ask for the help of Ms. Sharon, the “Queen of Mystery” is in her circle, although it appears infrequently. Although it does not appear frequently …… Klein gave Anderson Hood a pitying look.

　　He is not very like this strongest hunter, always in the heart of the other side, show all kinds of malice, after all, the loss of the sleeve nail, the other side is half responsible, but he is limited to think, no intention to put into practice, really encounter each other for help, the same will not be directly rejected.

　　Klein considered it and said:

　　”I can ask for you and give you an answer in the morning.

　　”But I doubt you have the ability to pay.”

　　”I’ll go around the bar later! Besides, I have quite a few personal treasures over at the Sea of Mists.” Anderson responded without hesitation.

　　Klein nodded and said as he closed the door:

　　”I’ll see you in the morning, and I hope you survive until then.”

　　Clang!

　　The door to the room locked once more.

　　”Is that a curse, or a blessing?” Anderson whispered bitterly, “In my experience, the odds are that there won’t be any more surprises in the last two or three days.”

　　Inside the room, Klein returned to the desk.

　　Already there lay a freshly opened letter and a tragically disassembled thousand paper crane.

　　Klein had already thought of someone to ask Anderson’s question before he opened his mouth to answer:

　　The one who knew the most about the methods of one Serpent of Destiny was undoubtedly the other Serpent of Destiny!

　　He thought about the size of the cranes and the questions he wanted to ask, and made a draft in his mind before lifting his pencil and saying:

　　”How do I get rid of the curse of bad luck from the ‘Angel of Fate’ mural?

　　”What is the name of the Sequence 4 magic potion that corresponds to ‘Diviner’? Where can I get its formula and main ingredients?”

　　Putting down his pencil, Klein carefully scrutinized the contents twice, then carefully refolded the thousand paper cranes according to the folds and tucked them into his wallet.

　　With that done, he continued writing the letter to Mr. Aztec.

　　In this letter, Klein first mentioned that he had entered the easternmost dangerous area of the Sunia Sea with the help of the “Admiral Above the Stars” and successfully completed the ceremony, and then in a turn of phrase, he said that halfway through the journey, he had encountered the “Admiral of Hell” Ludwig’s unjustified attack, and almost lost a great deal of money. He said that halfway through the ceremony, he was attacked by Ludwig “Admiral of Hell” Ludwig for no reason and almost suffered heavy losses.

　　On this topic, he described the ring on the hand of the “Hell Admiral”, which was suspected to be a relic of the ancient god of death, and asked Mr. Aztec if he remembered anything about it, and if he needed to see it in his hand in order to recall more of his memories.

　　After this point, Klein also in a chatty manner about the “Spirit Order” “artificial death” program, and curiously asked the big brother whether this is feasible, whether the previous documents have recorded the specific details.

　　After saying that he doesn’t know what will happen in the subsequent sequences or where he will get the chance, Klein tells in the style of a traveler’s notebook the precautions to be taken in dangerous waters that he has learned from this trip.

　　He was providing information for Mr. Aztec, lest the other party suddenly wanted to go there to look for the remnants of the ancient death, but did not understand exactly what potential dangers there were.

　　”…… It is said that what fills that sea is the ravings of the ‘True Creator’, and the higher the sequence, the more clearly one hears it, and the more likely one is to be affected and go mad or out of control, and this is demarcated by sequence 4 …… But there are a small number of demigods who have found a way to move freely there …… “Klein wrote as such at the end of the letter.

　　Folding the paper, he picked up the Aztec copper whistle and summoned the giant white bone messenger.

　　The messenger burrowed out of its floor position and politely leveled his eyes at Klein, spreading his palms.

　　Not bad …… Klein gave a dark praise and gave the letter to the other party.

　　Then he brushed his teeth and soaked in the bath, and lay comfortably under the covers.

　　I don t know how long it took, but he woke up at once in his dream and saw the barren plains and the dark spire.

　　Coming familiarly into the depths of the spire, Klein found Will Onsettin’s reply among the spilled tarot cards:

　　”Friendly reminder: that paper crane is about to break!

　　”The curse of doom brought on by the mural can be solved by seeking out Rechord.

　　”The ‘Diviner’s’ High Sequence formula can only be found by looking for the mad Chalatu, or by going to the Hornachis Mountains, or if you’re the Favored One of the Night, forget I said anything.

　　”The corresponding Sequence 4 for ‘Diviner’ is called: ‘Trickster’!”
