Part 3 the traveler Chapter 208 – Miss Messenger

　　Under the sunlight, the Golden Dream was glowing with a golden color, as if it were a moving treasure.

　　Daniz stood in the captain’s room, pacing back and forth, trying to remember everything that happened during this period of time and find clues for investigation.

　　Three days ago, his captain, “Iceberg Admiral” Edwina, had announced that she was going to do a research project and would not be around for perhaps ten or twenty hours, so all classes were canceled accordingly, which was not surprising to Danitz and the others, as it was a common occurrence.

　　They rejoiced at not having to attend classes, and had a very pleasant time on the ship, drinking, singing, and holding bonfires, just about setting the Golden Dream on fire.

　　But as time went by, everyone, including the slow-witted Danez, gradually realized that something was wrong. The captain, who was supposed to finish his research within 24 hours, had not yet appeared on the second day, and he had not even asked for a delivery of food and light beer to serve as water!

　　After waiting patiently for half a day without seeing “Iceberg Admiral” Edwina, the crew had the audacity to knock on the door of the captain’s cabin and were horrified to find that no one answered.

　　Led by First Mate Brew Walls, the pirates opened the captain’s cabin and saw that it was empty!

　　They then went to the storeroom and other places, but still could not find the “Iceberg Lieutenant General” Edwina.

　　Based on past experience, they initially suspected that the captain had thought of something, and applied one of the various secret arts or the extraordinary skill of mimicking other people’s abilities, and left the “Golden Dream” in a hurry, without leaving a message.

　　After that, Daniz and the others tried to use “séance” and other methods of contact, but did not get any response, can only search the captain’s room and other places, looking for clues, while convincing themselves to wait patiently.

　　As the third day passed, “Iceberg Admiral” Edwina still didn’t show up, and with no response, the crew began to panic.

　　”Shit, did you get any results from your divination? Aren’t you known as an expert in this field?” Danitz turned to Jordson “Flower Bow Tie” in annoyance.

　　The dark-haired, blonde-dyed Yodson rubbed the corner of his forehead and said in a rather mellow voice:

　　”Failed, all the seeker’s divinations have failed.

　　”But for the time being, one thing is certain, the Captain is still alive, just not sure where he’s gone.”

　　The first mate with a head of short gray curly hair, Bru Walls, pushed up his monocle and said:

　　”We’re going to have to get help, all of the Captain’s collection isn’t missing, and she didn’t even take some of the necessary magical items with her, which suggests that the situation was sudden and unexpected.”

　　”Seek help from whom?” Daniels “Bucket” Daniels, another sailor captain with a bloated waist, asked sharply.

　　Bru-Walls raised the silver-patterned carving knife in his hand to his hawkish nose and said:

　　”Back to the west coast.”

　　What he meant to say was that he was looking for the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom behind “Iceberg Admiral” Edwina.

　　”No, to return to the west coast from Pirate’s Paradise, we have to cross the Sunia Sea, the North Sea or the Berserk Sea, and then sail in the Sea of Mists for a long time, and the captain can’t wait that long! She could have an accident at any time!” “Flower Bow Tie,” Jordson said, “we have to find people we can contact quickly and who can help on short notice.”

　　Danez was about to call “shit” again, but suddenly inspiration struck.

　　There was only one person he could contact quickly, and that was Germaine Sparrow, and the mad adventurer had never been shy about showing him that he was good at divination and had a mysterious background!

　　Perhaps that madman could find the captain, who always accomplished the impossible …… Danez pulled down the collar of his coat, feeling a little relieved of his worried irritation.

　　He puffed out his chest, looked around the room, and cleared his throat:

　　”I have a candidate who I can contact immediately, and he is very good at divination ……”

　　Before he could say anything, “Gourmet” Blue Walls, “Flower Bow Tie” Jordson and “Ironhide”, “Bucket” and others turned their heads at the same time. ” and the others turned their heads to look at him at the same time, red-eyed and yelling:

　　”Don’t go yet!”

　　”……” Danez silently exited the captain’s room and returned to his room.

　　He spread out his letter paper, picked up his fountain pen, and habitually gave a greeting at the beginning, followed by a few pleasantries, as the captain had taught him.

　　Suddenly, he paused his pen, thinking it was too polite and wordy for the purpose of asking for help.

　　”Shit!” Danez cursed to himself and brushed off the piece of paper.

　　Immediately afterward, he dropped his pen on a new sheet of paper and wrote:

　　”Help!

　　”The Captain is missing!”

　　”Well …… although Germaine Sparrow is a madman who can’t guess with normal logic, he probably can’t read a letter like this …… shit!” Daniz cursed himself again and tore off the second piece of letter paper.

　　He calmed down, considered for a few seconds, and dropped his pen a third time.

　　This time, he wrote succinctly about the events leading up to and following the captain’s disappearance, included the current location of the Golden Dream, and then politely asked Mr. Germain Sparrow if he could be of any assistance to his collaborator.

　　”Divination seems to require a specific item ……” Danez just folded the letter paper, suddenly realized that he had missed something, and hurried back to the captain’s room, and found a pair of “Iceberg Lieutenant Generals”. Iceberg Lieutenant General” Edwina often wear a pair of pearl earrings.

　　After doing so, he took out the notes recording various occult knowledge, flipped to the corresponding page number, and according to his previous experience, he was not too skillful in arranging the ceremony of summoning the messenger.

　　After placing a gold coin on the altar, he took two steps back and chanted in ancient Hermetic:

　　”I!

　　”I invoke in my name:

　　”Spirit that wanders into the void, friendly creature to be dispatched, messenger that belongs to Germaine Sparrow alone.”

　　The whimpering wind stirred and hovered, and the flames of the altar candles swelled sharply and colored with a distinct pallor.

　　Renette Tynicol burrowed out unhurriedly, still wearing the same long, somber, complicated black dress and carrying four identical, beautiful heads.

　　Daniz had expected the messenger to bite right into the gold coins and the envelopes containing the papers and earrings like last time, but who knew that the four heads in Renette Tinnicol’s hands turned on their own, looked around, and finally focused in the direction of the captain’s cabin.

　　A few seconds later, the two heads in Renette Tignicole’s hands finally bit the gold coin and the envelope.

　　Only when the eccentric messenger disappeared did Daniz let out a breath and wiped his forehead, feeling that there had actually been an inexplicable pressure just now.

　　……

　　Oravi Island, inside another inn room.

　　Klein was about to ask Anderson Hood, who had won a lot of money, to buy a boat ticket to the “City of Generosity”, Bayam, when inspiration struck him.

　　He quickly opened his psychic vision and saw that his headless messenger Renette Tignicole had somehow floated next to him, the four heads in her hands bright and colorful.

　　Unlike the white bone messenger, just having appeared, I was able to detect that she had completely entered the real world before my inspiration was touched …… Klein thoughtfully took the letter that one of Renette Tignicole s heads was biting.

　　At the same time, he realized that Anderson was no less inspired than himself, and reacted almost simultaneously.

　　”Is this the …… messenger?” Anderson asked with uncertainty, seeming to have heard of such things but not actually seen one.

　　Klein nodded without much expression and casually opened the envelope.

　　Huh, pearl earrings? Klein unfolded the letterhead with some surprise.

　　Anderson, who was next to him, curiously came over and looked Renette Tignicole up and down, tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk:

　　”There is an indescribable bloody beauty ……”

　　Before his words fell, his hands suddenly lifted up and grabbed his own throat, choking his tongue out and foaming at the mouth, while Renette Tignicole, who had an empty neck, didn’t have any extra reaction.

　　Klein turned his head sideways, studied it carefully, looked at his messenger again, and grunted silently:

　　”Much like Ms. Sharon’s ability… …… Is Ms. Messenger part of the ‘prisoner’ pathway? No, can’t be sure, she’s a spirit world creature, it’s not unusual for her to be good at this sort of thing ……”

　　Seeing that Anderson was about to die, Klein spoke slowly:

　　”Well, he still has to help me lead the way.”

　　A head turned in Renette Tignicole’s hand, and her scarlet eyes gazed at Anderson for a second.

　　Then, one by one, the mouths of each of her heads spoke in a very orderly fashion:

　　”Can ……” “Made ……” “Walkers ……” “The same ……” “can . .””Lead the way ……””

　　As she spoke, Anderson’s hands finally stopped and left his neck, leaving visibly deep finger marks on it instead.

　　Huff, puff …… The strongest hunter gasped and bent over to dry-heave.

　　Klein then quickly skimmed through the letter, and figured out that the sender was Danez, a “well-known pirate” who claimed that the “Iceberg Lieutenant General” had mysteriously disappeared and was in desperate need of help.

　　The line of sight just left the letter paper, Klein was shocked to find Renegade Tinnecker is still there.

　　This is not occult …… messenger is not after delivering the letter will disappear, and then summoned to reappear? Klein deliberated and asked in confusion:

　　”Do you have anything else?”

　　”Wait ……” “You ……” “Return to ……” “Letter ……” said Renette’s four heads in turn.

　　”How do you know I’m going to write back?” Klein glanced at Anderson, who hadn’t recovered yet, sure that the strongest hunter couldn’t pay attention to the words that didn’t fit Gelman Sparrow’s persona.

　　The head in Renette’s hand spoke once more:

　　”Her …… “disappearance …… “is very ……” “Strange ……”

　　”How do you know?” For a moment Klein thought that Ms. Messenger had peeked at Danez’s letter.

　　The heads with their long pale blonde hair simply pulled back each spat out a word that made up a complete sentence:

　　”I ……” “checked out ……” “the ship ……” “The situation ……”

　　And my messenger doubled as a scout? Will Ms. Renette Tinicol be moonlighting as a battering ram from now on? I just don’t know if I have to pay extra …… Klein said thoughtfully as he spat:

　　”There’s no need to rush, I’ll write back later.”

　　He planned to go above the gray mist first and use “Iceberg Lieutenant General” Edwina’s earrings to do some divination.

　　Renette Tignicole didn’t say another word, and her figure disappeared without a sound.

　　”Cough…… “Anderson finally slowed down, stood up straight, and incredulously surveyed Germaine Sparrow, “Your messenger, your messenger, is even at the level of a demigod!”
