Part 3 The Traveler Chapter 70 – The Big Spender

　　Daniz said as he tossed the removed splints and straps into the trash can and moved his left arm:

　　”Unlike the average pirate whose provocation is verbal abuse, I am targeted.

　　”It’s necessary to have a lot of information and rumors, and know enough about the person you want to provoke, only then can you make him lose his mind and have his brain burned out by anger with just one word and one action.”

　　He paused for a second and said:

　　”Like ‘Steel’, you calling him shit, his father, his mother, or his captain won’t do a bit of good, but all you have to do is make so much as a gesture and gift a word, and he’s sure to transform into a bull with glowing red eyes.”

　　After saying this, Danez pressed his hands to his hips, made a “top crotch” motion, and shouted down in the utmost contempt:

　　”Bitch!”

　　…… I wanted to hit him …… Not bad for a “provocateur” …… Sure enough, ” Steel” McVitie had that kind of tendency and hobby, tsk …… Klein loosened his subconsciously clenched fists.

　　”Now that’s what I call professional provocation.” Daniz spread his hands and summarized, “If I meet beasts, monsters, or guys who are out of control to the point of not being able to communicate, I can actively radiate feelings that make them hate me, which belongs to extraordinary ability.”

　　People with this extraordinary ability are either particularly capable of taking a beating, or particularly capable of escaping and dodging, and obviously, you belong to the latter …… Klein spat in his heart.

　　Daniz finally didn’t have to worry about the injury to his left arm, his mood was quite pleasant, and he added to himself:

　　”I’m actually quite good at setting traps, but unfortunately, you don’t agree with my program of hunting ‘Steel’ McVitie.”

　　Klein controlled the corners of his mouth that wanted to twitch and responded calmly:

　　”You still have a chance.”

　　”What chance?” Daniz asked curiously.

　　”The chance to set traps for extraordinary people like ‘Steel’, one-on-one, and I’ll introduce you.” Klein flashed a smile.

　　”……” Daniz couldn’t speak for a moment.

　　He knew very well that traps were often ineffective for a guy who wasn’t afraid of shooting or arrows or fire or water.

　　Daniz dryly laughed twice, turned his head to look out the window and said:

　　”The weather has cleared up ……

　　”Does this mean that snake in Kavituva is completely dead?”

　　Klein let out a “hmmm” and did not hide it.

　　Daniz exhaled and hesitantly said:

　　”In any case, after this city-wide manhunt, there shouldn’t be many pirates who dare to come to Byam for a long time, and that definitely includes the ‘Admiral Above Blood’.

　　”Your plans to hunt him with the captain might have to be interrupted because of this, the Sunia Sea is so big that it’s hard to find a fleet of ships that have deliberately hidden their whereabouts, moreover, they can still go to the Misty Sea, the Berserk Sea, the North Sea, and the Polar Sea.”

　　If it was that easy to take out a pirate general on the ocean, the church and the military would surely have accomplished it a long time ago! Let’s get me back to the Golden Dream as soon as possible! Daniz belabored a couple of words.

　　Don’t worry, I have a way, and it will be your job …… Klein asked without moving:

　　”What is your captain’s opinion?”

　　He had already spent twelve pounds to get the radio receiver from Voorhees, but because he had been too busy with Poseidon to pay attention to it, he hadn’t yet transferred it from the clutter on top of the gray mist to the real world.

　　At the same time, Miss Justice and Mr. Inverted Man’s payment arrived in full, and Klein’s wealth swelled to 7,085 pounds plus 5 gold coins.

　　This is enough to buy a large, productive estate anywhere.

　　If I didn’t have to take revenge and find a way back to Earth, I could already retire …… Klein thought with a slight sense of satisfaction.

　　The captain’s opinion …… Danez squeezed out a smile and said:

　　”Although in theory, the captain and the others should have already entered the 500 nautical mile range to attempt the ‘Séance Ritual’, as you know, the shipping lanes are not absolutely safe, and the pirates even more so have to be careful enough to have to constantly take care not to be caught by the military and church ships, and for that reason it is often necessary to go around in circles.

　　”I think it would be better to wait another day to use the ‘Séance Ritual’, so as not to waste energy and materials.”

　　”Hmm.” Without saying yes or no, Klein turned toward the washroom.

　　He decided to go out again today and look for another opportunity to play for real.

　　Watching Germaine Sparrow’s back, Danez exhaled silently.

　　I’m sure I’ll have to contact the Captain privately and convince her to let me back on the Golden Dream before I can use the Séance in front of you! Germaine Sparrow is a man who likes to go out, and I’ve had plenty of opportunity and space to do so… He doesn’t like to go shopping, does he? Danez thought with a grimace.

　　……

　　After leaving the Church of the Waves, Alger Wilson thoughtfully went straight to the Relf Trading House and found the owner, who was reading a newspaper.

　　He knew very well that the middle-aged man in front of him, dressed in formal attire, wearing a bow tie and glasses, was a veteran pirate who secretly supported the Resistance and was a devout believer in the “God of the Sea” Kavituva.

　　”What can I do for you, Captain of our ghost ship?” Ralph put down his newspaper and teetered on his left leg with his right foot, laughing.

　　He was an illegitimate son, his father was an adventurer with Rune and Fossak blood, and his mother was a local native, he started out as a pirate, and then turned into a black and white trade merchant, and built up a huge network of contacts, and was able to get steady help in the Governor’s Office, in the City Council, and in the Police Department.

　　Hearing Relf’s question, Alger nearly frowned as the other party’s attitude and tone were quite abnormal.

　　This abnormality meant that it did not match the state that Alger expected.

　　In his opinion, after the complete fall of “God of the Sea” Kavituva, bad signs would inevitably appear all over the Rothschild Archipelago, and the devotees would definitely be able to sense that something was wrong, or be filled with worry, or be heavy and pessimistic, so how could they remain relaxed and natural!

　　Alger did not directly mention the matter of Kavituva, laughed:

　　”Do you know where Corvaro is these days?”

　　Corvaro is the pirate captain who has the leftover characteristics of the Blood Baron, it is said that he used to work as a sailor on the “Black Emperor” ship, which is the peripheral force of the “King of the Five Seas” Nast.

　　”Who knows? But it must not be in Byam, otherwise he would have already been caught in the big sweep two days ago.” Relf shrugged his shoulders, “I heard that his ship headed south.”

　　Alger actually had an agreement with Corvaro to meet up, and just now, he had only deliberately used it to start the conversation.

　　Of course, he knew very well that in order to avoid the tsunami crisis in the waters of the Rothschild Archipelago, Corvaro had definitely moved away from here, and would have to wait for some time before returning to Byam.

　　However, Alger is not in too much of a hurry, because he already knows that Mr. “Moon” is a banker’s acceptance, if you take it out before the deadline, it will be discounted, losing a large amount of interest.

　　He nodded deliberately and said:

　　”I see, thank you for passing it on.”

　　That said, Alger asked pretending not to know what was going on:

　　”I’ve heard that the ‘Poseidon’ statues in many places shattered on their own?”

　　He hadn’t witnessed anything similar, but he could make certain reasonable inferences based on the church’s literature volumes.

　　–In quite a few colonized islands, in the southern continent countries, there were more than one or two Kavituva-like pseudo-gods that had been taken out by the Seven Great Churches, and there had long been corresponding records of what would happen after their deaths.

　　Relf nodded frankly:

　　”Yes, there are such things.

　　”But it’s not bad news.”

　　His expression turned wild for a moment:

　　”Because God has reappeared in the earth with a new image!”

　　God has reappeared in the earth, in a new image? Alger kept his gaze, only to realize that this was both reasonable and unexpected.

　　From the reaction of the Storm Church, he was certain that Kavituva was dead, so which “sea god” was responding to the believers now?

　　In connection with his previous judgment, he quickly had a bold idea:

　　Is this the incarnation of Mr. Fool?

　　He had taken on a new identity with the fall of Kavituva, the god of the sea? A new identity that can influence the real world through the sealing of his power?

　　Is this the real reason the World came to Bayonetta?

　　Mr. “Fool” is really generous!

　　Algernon swallowed covertly, suppressing his inner excitement.

　　……

　　”Inside the Azure Breeze Hotel, Klein, who hadn’t even left the room yet, saw Captain Erlend across the room handing over a wad of cash:

　　”Here is your payment, totaling 100 pounds.”

　　He didn’t mention how much Germaine Sparrow got, how much “Flame” Danez took, but only said the total amount, the specific how to distribute, is the other side of the internal matters.

　　The military is still very generous well …… Klein secretly said, received the thick stack of cash, instinctively want to pull out two five pound bills thrown to Danez.

　　His wrist sank for a moment and he eventually drew two more ten pound bills without expression.

　　Germaine Sparrow is still very fair, more fair than the fair Erlang …… Danez was surprised to receive the payment, only to feel that the money clip that had been drying up for a while had been filled again.

　　Looking at Germaine Sparrow in brand new clothes, holding a boat-shaped hat in his hand, Aerlan asked with deliberation:

　　”Word has come out from the Storm Church side that the person who posted a bulletin in front of the church in the middle of the night exposing the problems of Laetitia and ‘Neptune’ Kavituva is, ‘Flame’ Danez.

　　”What do you think?”

　　He stared into Daniz’s eyes, waiting for an answer.

　　”Haha.” Daniz laughed dryly, “I don’t know him.”

　　Klein said after two seconds of silence:

　　”I traveled to Simeon to fulfill a wish for a dead adventurer, and met Laetitia and her companion at the inn.

　　”There was a snake invasion in the middle of the night, which was easily solved by them.

　　”Upon returning to Byam, I went to the Resistance to purchase items and found that they had surprisingly set out the Holy Sword and had two mid-sequence Extraordinary Ones guarding that small stronghold.

　　”I only touched that holy sword for a moment before I was nearly invaded by insane will and lost control on the spot.

　　”They’re still looking for Laetitia.”

　　All of what Klein said was the truth, but not all of it, but it was enough to infer what was on the bulletin from that.

　　Even if the Kingdom’s military and the Storm Church dug deeper, they would at best dig up more about Germaine Sparrow perhaps changing the mold.

　　Erland listened carefully and sighed and laughed:

　　”In the future, if there is such a thing, you don’t need to put up a bulletin in the middle of the night, you can come directly to me, which will enable you to get a more generous reward.”

　　He stood up and addressed Daniz as he put on his hat:

　　”I’ve heard that the bounty on the ‘Flame’ is going up again.”
