Part 3 The Traveler Chapter 49 The Actor
Something to ask the Captain?
Danez frowned as he watched Germaine Sparrow leave the room, wondering what the other man truly held in store for him.
”What exactly is this guy after? Money, wealth? But he had every time and opportunity to take the heads of ‘Steel’ McVittie and ‘Scarlet Thorn’ Huntley for nearly ten thousand pounds of bounty, er, draw down to seven or eight thousand pounds, and he didn’t do so, and generously shared my loot… that’s a contradiction… When he heard that I was “Flame”, his first reaction was to point to the 3,000 pound bounty …… According to the captain, this is not scientific ……
”Why would he deliberately give up the bounty? Unless …… unless, of course, he had a better way of claiming it more safely, or reserving it exclusively for someone? Well …… he guarded against the appearance of the ‘vicarious punisher’ in advance …… he, he had his own network of connections and intelligence channels! In this way, all things were explained!
”Together with the possible existence of that demigod who killed Zylingus, hiss, there’s a hidden and powerful organization behind Germaine Sparrow!”
Shocked by his own speculation, Daniz instinctively tried to express the feeling with his body language, only to forget that his left arm was still broken, and bared his teeth in pain.
It made him more and more terrified, not wanting the captain to meet with such a dangerous and crazy guy.
He even suspected that Germaine Sparrow’s real purpose was the captain’s 26,000 pound bounty!
In single combat, that madman may not win the captain, and we still have the first mate, second mate, third mate and a few sailor captains, but there is an organization with horrible strength behind him! The only way to hurt the captain is to step over my dead body! Danez puffed out his chest and angled his neck with a sense of self-sacrificing sadness.
He raised a hand to straighten his hair, and with a long hmmm, muttered to himself:
”Observe again; perhaps Germaine Sparrow really does just want to inquire about something.”
He looked around subconsciously, and realized that both the Flying Carpet and the Cloak of Shadows were present and not missing.
”That is to say, Germaine Sparrow left everything that belonged to me, wasn’t he afraid that I would take advantage of the opportunity to escape? Or did he secretly take my hair to facilitate divination?
”No, no, he’s a crazy guy, even if he wants to use his hair, he’ll just walk over and reach out and pull one out, there’s no way he’s going to sneak around to do it …… By the way, there’s a powerful and secretive organization behind him! Maybe, maybe at this time, there are people from that organization who are secretly monitoring me, waiting for me to leave, waiting for me to find the captain …… sinister!
”Germaine Sparrow must have gone out on purpose!” Danez felt he had grasped the truth of the matter by experience and intelligence.
He paced back and forth a few times, resumed his seat in the easy chair, and scoffed silently:
”I’m not going!
”I’m going to see what you really want to do!
”I won’t bring danger to the Captain!”
……
It was a quarter after 3:00 p.m. on the island of Simeon.
It was also part of the Rothschild Archipelago, but was the furthest away from the “City of Generosity”, Bayam, and took nearly five hours for a passenger ship to reach.
Klein had purchased a local outfit and a small suitcase for his change of clothes, costing him a total of 14 Soules, less than a pound.
That’s cheap, a fraction of the cost of formal wear …… Wearing wide-legged pants, a thick coffee-colored jacket, and a light brown cap, Klein stepped off the passenger ship with a featureless local face and into the somewhat outdated port of Simeon’s island – spending his time purchasing clothing that changing his image, he missed the 9 o’clock ferry and had to take the 10 o’clock one.
Thinking about the expenses of the role, he couldn’t help but do the math again on his current financial situation:
”The ‘Faceless Man’ trait sold for £3,825, the pirate bounty was £3,000, and that £6,825 is still outstanding, but as long as Mr. ‘Inverted Man’ isn’t exposed, it’s basically included in the budget ……
”Donna’s thanks from them plus the rest of the money itself is £255 in bits and pieces ……
”‘Steel’ McVittie had £26 11s 8p recovered from him ……
”Well, there were also five gold coins for ‘ballast’ ……
”I haven’t spent much money lately, and the total is just over a pound, which is a pleasant thing to see ……
”That will leave me with £7110, and with the extra extraordinary properties of ‘Nightmare’, the swim bladder of a fisherman, neither of which is of low value.
”Come to think of it, I made £3,000 bounty on this one plus the extraordinary trait of ‘Walking Corpse’, £3,000 to £5,000 on the latter, which means an income of £7,000 to £8,000 …… And that’s just a ‘Steel’ McVittie plus ‘Scarlet Thorn’ Huntley and Scorch, and wasted a lot of …… Hunting pirates is a really good job, and can do justice, punish evil, protect the The weak and small, but also can get rich overnight ……”
Klein subconsciously turned his head to look to the side, only to see that the color of the sea water here is a lot clearer than the Bayam side, and the whole seems to be a turquoise, huge, crystalline jewel, which is reflected in the sunlight with a golden glow.
As expected, generations of adventurers have gone out to sea in search of wealth, not without reason, even after deducting the remnants of the spirit of the ancient ghosts, the eyes of the six-winged gargoyles, the spring water of the golden spring of Sunia and other auxiliary materials of the “Master of the Secret Puppet”, the rest of the money will allow me to buy a fairly decent house here, in the Dixie Bay, in the southern continent colonies, in the non-metropolitan areas, and so on. The remaining money will also allow me to buy a pretty good manor here, in Dixie Bay, in the southern mainland colonies, and in non-metropolitan areas……. The countryside of Rouen is said to be very beautiful, and if I really can’t go back in the end, I can consider settling in a place similar to it……. Well, I still have 10% of the shares in the Beckland Bicycle Company, and the return will not be low in the future …… With a bottom line, Klein straightened his back and thought about the future.
After a burst of rambling thoughts, Klein began to consider a more realistic problem, that is, the extraordinary characteristics of the “nightmare” is to sell, or find a chance to return the Church of Darkness, or through the craftsmen, made into magical items.
Depending on the situation, the most ideal option is to sell it to the Church of Night …… Martyrs, who took two copies of the Nightwatchman’s magic potion,” Klein thought with uncertainty.
At the same time, he hoped that the little “sun” as soon as possible to Sequence 7, qualified to contact the method of removing extraordinary characteristics of spiritual pollution.
As for releasing the “Priest of Light” within the glove, he is not in a hurry, the little “sun” just got the magic potion formula of sequence 7, there is no need for the back for the time being, it will have to wait for a long period of time, and the “Priest of Light” ability is used to deal with the “Martyr of Light”. The ability of “Priest of Light” can be used to deal with the pirates of the “Generals of Blood”, which is much stronger than the “Sun Brooch”.
With his thoughts slowly sinking in, Klein entered the harbor town.
Here are basically the local people, the skin is almost bronze, black hair is naturally slightly curly, and the body emits the smell of spices that have long been dealt with.
After changing his appearance and asking about Rui Ni and if any news of Winter’s death had come back, Klein found a secluded corner and with a swipe of his hand across his face, transformed himself into Winter, who had rather impressive features and a lean, tall build.
Carrying his suitcase, he circled around to the outskirts of the town near the outskirts and saw Rene’s family’s brewhouse.
The flaxen-haired girl could no longer be called a teenager, and was noticeably more mature compared to what Winter remembered.
She was cleaning the doorway, not much passing around.
呼…… Klein took a deep breath and let it out slowly, feeling a difficult emotion inside.
As a keyboard powerhouse, he knew about Methodist, Experiential, and other acting doctrines, but lacked further understanding, and could only try to figure out for himself what Wynter was feeling and what to do in this scenario.
Finally, his eyes closed and he walked on.
Rene heard footsteps and looked up to get a better look at her visitor.
Her mouth opened slightly, and she let out a half-surprised “ah” sound, and then she immediately slammed her face and said:
”Why are you suddenly running back here?”
Remember, you’re just putting on a show …… Klein said with a smirk:
”I came to say goodbye to you.”
He used the local dialect and took on a few incongruous Byam accents.
– The language of the Rothschild Archipelago was also derived from Ancient Forsak, and belonged to a different variant that wasn’t too difficult for Klein, who was a half-historian, and took a bit of time to basically master it.
”Farewell?” Rene asked rhetorically, slightly surprised.
Klein turned his head sideways, looked to the side, and smiled:
”I’m going to chase a treasure, and I don’t know when I’ll be back.
”When that time comes, I’ll show up with a large sum of money, buy a suburban estate, plant some rubber trees, get a vineyard, have my own mill, wine cellar, and blacksmith store, fill the air with the smell of all sorts of spices, and then buy a few slaves and hire some servants, just like those lords did, oh, there’s one more thing to go.”
He conquered the goosebumps that were about to pop up and turned his head to look Rene in the eye:
”Still missing a wife, still missing the mistress of the manor.
”Ruini, I like you, I want to marry you, and I’m not saying it today to get an answer, I’m afraid I won’t get another chance to tell you.”
Ruini listened quietly, and suddenly cursed angrily:
”Winter, you’re a coward!”
Ah …… this reaction is a bit wrong ah …… Klein deliberately showed a surprised expression.
Rui Ni suppressed her voice and said:
”Three years ago, three years ago, I was ready to go to Byam with you, and as a result, as a result, you didn’t say anything! You coward! You coward!
”What’s the use of your telling me now? You’re going to sail soon, and may never come back!”
She grew more and more agitated as she spoke:
”When you say it, you are happy and have no regrets, but what about me? Keep thinking that you will come back and keep suffering? You selfish bastard!”
She swung the broom in her hand and violently struck Winter across the room.
Klein knew the real Winter would have knocked the broom off at this point, hugged the girl, and told her she was no longer sailing, but he couldn’t do it, and could only pretend to be driven away in a state of disarray all the way inside a nearby alleyway, knocking his head lightly against the wall and cursing silently to himself:
”So fucking embarrassing!
”So fucking embarrassing ……”
Rene returned to the doorway, grabbed a broom, and crouched down.
Her face was gray, and she didn’t know what she was thinking.
Vaguely, she heard a voice, and then her whole body fell into a deep sleep.
Klein, who had finished using the charm, turned out and nudged Ruini, who was sitting against the wall until she reached the ground, then quickly left the area and hid in the distance to peek at the ending.
Ruini quickly woke up and realized that she had fallen asleep at some point and that everything she had just witnessed seemed like a dream.
She remained sitting there for a long time.
Suddenly, she buried her head and let out a sharp, thin, low curse that seemed to squeeze from deep in her throat:
”Winter, you selfish bastard!”
Alas, with a little digested feeling Klein sighed and changed his appearance to leave the place.
He still had to spend the night on Simeon Island, for there was no passenger ship to Bayam until the morning.
