Part 3 The Traveler Chapter 27 The Request
”Dimmerdale?
”They’re still in the restaurant.”
Uldi Blanche replied subconsciously.
Immediately afterward, he pointed to where the moldy head had been purged and asked sharply:
”What was that just now?”
Without answering, Klein, who maintained his Germaine Sparrow persona, glanced at Daniz, and walked directly past the Donna family to the Lime Restaurant, whose doors were closed.
”Blaze,” Danez said with a heave as he carried his marquee, relaxed from finally accomplishing a goal, and straightened his back as he looked at Uldi and the others:
”You don’t need to bother with what this is, just remember it’s a monster that will hurt you.”
If Gelman Sparrow wasn’t just a few meters away, he would have been tempted to proclaim that only I, Lord Danez “The Flame”, can protect you!
Krivis and Cecil and Tigre looked at each other and volunteered to step forward, relieving their employer:
”Wait until we return to the White Onyx.”
Frankly speaking, all three of their bodyguards had been adventurers for a period of time in one way or another, but their knowledge of monsters was still stuck at the level of folklore and drunken talk of their peers, and at this time, they inevitably had some trance of being in a dream.
But for them, since they have seen such creatures as fishmen, other things are not so difficult to accept, at most a little bit uglier than the fishmen a little bit odd a little bit special.
Thinking this way, they stabilized quite a bit inside, and the guns in their hands seemed to have found their strength again.
However, the pure light that fell from the sky was still beyond their comprehension, and they could only feel that their long-established worldview, outlook on life, and values were shaken, so they could only not think about it for the time being, and pressed all kinds of emotions to the bottom of their hearts.
Klein stopped at the entrance of the Lime Restaurant, raised his right hand, and flexed his fingers to knock.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
After he knocked three times rhythmically, no one answered inside and it was quiet.
If it wasn’t for the candlelight shining through the windows and doorways, Klein would have thought it was an empty house that had been abandoned for a long time.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
He knocked three more times.
Within the dining room, the silence remained, and all seemed to observe the custom of not responding to knocks in foggy weather.
Klein withdrew his right hand and patted the hem of his double-breasted long gown.
Suddenly, he leaned his body back, lifted his knee, and stomped his right foot forward with force.
With a clang, the door to the dining room slammed back open, and all the nails securing the brass lock sprang out.
Fox, the tuxedoed, succulent-faced, nearly rounded owner, was still standing in his original position, and the ladies and gentlemen who had chosen to stay the night had opened the doors to their rooms again, and stood silently on the dividing line, looking this way noiselessly.
”What do you want, to do?” Fox didn’t lash out, his tone was the same as before, but a revolver had been added to his hand.
Crane, who had his psychic vision on, turned his head and looked around the room, not detecting any trace of evil in the humans present.
His eyes fell on the restaurant owner and his gaze sank down as he looked the other man in the eye and said:
”Where’s the DiMerdos?”
Fox met the other man’s dark brown eyes that suppressed emotion as if a storm was brewing for two seconds, and twisted his head unnaturally and said:
”There’s another table, out-of-towners, upstairs.”
”Send them down.” Klein ordered coldly.
Fox was silent for several seconds until the other man drew his gun swiftly and aimed it at his head.
He sucked in his breath and sent a valet to the second floor, leading the Dimmertos down the steps with a thud.
”What happened?” Dimmerdor was a man under thirty, on vacation with his new wife this time.
Klein lowered the muzzle of his gun and said flatly:
”There’s been a change of heart in Banshee Harbor.
”Are you guys coming back to the ship with me, or are you staying the night?”
”A change of heart?” As he chewed on the word, Diomedo saw Uldi Blanche outside nodding heavily to himself.
He knew that the other party was a very rich import/export merchant who had three bodyguards with him, and believed that if there were really any changes, it would definitely be safer to stay with the other party, so the answer was self-evident.
As for the unique customs of Banshee Harbor, they were just customs! He took his new wife’s hand and smiled politely as he walked toward the door:
”All our things are on board, with you, of course.”
”Thanks.” He and his new wife said thanks at the same time, crossing over to Klein to join the Blanche family outside.
Klein retrieved his revolver and politely bowed slightly to his boss, Fox:
”Excuse me.”
With that said, he turned his body and walked towards Cleves and the others in the light leaking out of the restaurant.
With a clang, the door of the Lime Restaurant closed once again, swaying a bit from the wind.
Klein had actually sensed something unusual just now, a subtle atmosphere, but since his psychic vision hadn’t yielded any results, he didn’t want to delve into it, lest he set off that great danger lurking in Banshee Harbor.
He returned to Danez and scanned the number of people by the light of the horse lamp.
Donna’s family of four, three bodyguards, Mr. and Mrs. DiMedo, and a few servants, all together …… Crane exchanged the position of the revolver and cane, raised the right palm of the gun, into the double-breasted gown, and rubbed the “sun brooch”.
With a flash of dark golden light, the invisible power spread outward quickly, surging over everyone in the room like a wave.
In this instant, Donna and the others felt as if they had arrived in the south, bathing in the warm sunshine and dispelling the coldness in their bodies.
They were no longer so nervous and worried, and seemed to have found the courage that belonged to them, and the slight blackness that remained from the previous enjoyment of Damir Harbor’s special cured meat along with an extremely small amount of evil feeling quickly melted away.
”Sun Aura”, can increase the courage of the companions within twenty meters and purify the evil power in their bodies!
With the help of this type of spell ability cast by the brooch, controlled by Kraven’s spirituality and spirit, he could make the sun’s power bypass targets he didn’t want to help.
”Go to the telegraph office first.” Klein repeated, holding his staff in his left hand and his gun in his right, distinguishing the direction and stepping forward.
For his part, Danez followed his gesture and walked diagonally to the side, while Cleves, Cecil, and Teague very professionally took over the guard in the other two directions.
With a group of more than 15 people, it would be easy to lose sight of the other side in the event of an attack, and the only real help here is the Flame……. What should we do? Klein recalled the characteristics of the monsters encountered before, suddenly stuffed the revolver back into the armpit gun pouch, and handed over the cane to the right palm.
He reached into his coat pocket with his left hand, removed the spiritual wall of the iron cigarette case, and took out the Aztec brass whistle, holding it in his palm and tossing it up from time to time.
He was sure that the undead monsters with only one head would forget about the others and have only this ancient brass-colored whistle in their “eyes”!
This way, I won’t have to worry about being too late to rescue them, that’s what MTs are for! Klein sighed and slightly increased his pace.
At this moment, three shriveled heads covered in moldy spots flew out from the thin fog ahead, rushing towards Kraven like arrows from different directions, completely ignoring the presence of other fresh flesh and blood.
Three! Daniz’s pupils constricted, a little worried that Germaine Sparrow would have her hands full, and a little looking forward to her opponent’s display of true strength.
Three …… Klein unperturbedly shook his left palm and threw the Aztec copper whistle into the air.
Those flying heads dragging the esophagus immediately drew an arc and ran towards the primary target.
Klein took a step back and pinched the “sun brooch” without expression.
Suddenly, the location where the copper whistle was created a dense golden flame out of nowhere, and the divine aura filled the air majestically.
”Flame of Light”!
Those three skin-and-bone heads simultaneously let out mournful screams and turned into a clump of powder in the golden flames.
Klein took two steps forward and reached out to catch the Aztec Copper Whistle.
…… And it’s still like this? Another magical item? Danez froze for a couple seconds, just realizing how easily things had been resolved.
By this time, Diomedo and his wife also got a good look at what the thing that had just attacked the crowd looked like, and one of them blanched in fear while the other asked in panic:
”Na, what is that?”
Donna instantly turned around and nodded seriously:
”Ask again when we return to the White Onyx.”
With that, she raised a finger to her lips, mimicking Uncle Sparrow’s meaning of “silence.”
Dimeldor swallowed hard at the thought of the holiness displayed by the young man ahead of him, took his wife’s hand, and fell guardedly silent, and the servants, seeing this, could only obey.
The procession continued on down the street with only a single moonbeam, the lights in the houses on either side were out, and behind the convex belly windows was unreadable darkness.
Donna always had the feeling that there were pairs of eyes inside moving after her and the others, but again, for some reason, no one showed themselves.
They must all be afraid of Uncle Sparrow! She pulled her brother’s hand tighter and walked in the protective circle of her parents.
Suddenly, a figure appeared on the side street, clad in a black cloak, leaning forward to reveal his still-bloody neck, which was empty, with only the lining of his cloak reflecting the moonlight.
Lotus!
The headless figure let out a beastly low growl in its throat and stomped towards Klein, causing a slight shake in the street floor.
It passed right where it was going to meet Danez, and with a dark curse, the renowned pirate swung his arm, flinging a ball of repeatedly compressed orange fire from his palm.
Boom!
The fireball exploded, blowing the headless man backward a few steps.
His clothes were tattered and his skin flew scorched black, and his cloak burned with it.
But for a monster that had already lost its life, this wasn’t too serious of an injury.
At this very moment, with a crunching sound, the red flames on the black cloak rose violently, as if in full bloom.
The coat-clad Klein leapt out of the flames, and with the help of the inertia of the fall and his own strength, he plunged the cudgel held in both palms directly into the headless man’s neck.
Pfft!
The cane didn’t enter the headless man’s body and reached out from its crotch.
Bang! Klein’s back muscles bulged as he stiffly plunged the headless monster to the ground!
Taking this opportunity, he stood behind the opponent and continued to hold the cane tightly, while pouring his spirituality into the “Sun Brooch”.
Just now, he had already judged with his spiritual vision that “Summon Holy Light”, “Purification Slash” and “Flame of Light” could not solve this black and green colored monster in a short time, so he could only change his method. There was only one way to do it.
Five seconds, four seconds, three seconds, the headless man struggled as hard as he could, but like a snake, he half-kneeled and was firmly nailed to the ground by the cane.
Two seconds, one second!
Klein opened his mouth low and spat out an ancient Hermetic word:
”Sun!”
Stars of radiance presented themselves, transforming into droplets of water that spilled downward, showering the headless man’s body.
Converging on the ‘silent don’s body emerging, Klein let go of his cane and moved two steps sideways.
In the sparse “rain”, the headless man twitched continuously, and eventually calmed down and melted into a puddle of blood.
There is no extraordinary characteristics …… which means that it is not a real enemy, at most it is a manufactured “servant”…… Klein drew back his cane and turned to walk towards the team.
”Cool!” Denton let out a belated exclamation of approval.
Donna’s eyes also gleamed.
Still with the power of a magical item …… However, that flash of relying on flames shows his true strength, it’s really not easy to deal with …… “Blaze” Danez retracted his eyes, feeling that his The decision not to blindly run away before was too wise.
Seven or eight minutes later, the team that had cleared two more waves of monsters arrived at the Banshee Harbor telegraph office.
Crives took the initiative to go forward and knocked on the door.
”Who?” A calm female voice came from inside.
”We’d like to speak to the captain of the ‘White Onyx’, Mr. Aeran.” Krivis answered through the door.
The female voice was not quick to speak in the quiet of the night:
”He and, his first mate, went to the, church next door.”
Kind of a strange way for people to talk around here, or maybe it’s only similar nights that are like that? Klein tossed a gold coin to make sure the other man wasn’t lying.
As they prepared to leave, the female voice inside the telegraph office hesitantly said:
”Could you, could you, keep an eye out for me, for a man.
”He is my, colleague, who went out to-night before the wind rose, and never returned.
”His name is Pavo Court.”
