Part 3 The Traveler Chapter 91 Reality Teaches a Lesson
Inside the jungle of Blue Mountain Island, in the Resistance base.
Sitting in a wheelchair, Karat lifted his bare head and looked at the sunlight that poured down on the entrance of the cave, his eyes were filled with undisguised joy.
He could clearly feel that since God came back to the earth and issued the Ten Commandments, he had changed the bloody and chaotic past, and from time to time, he gave his followers guidance full of wisdom, and actively intervened in the situation above the sea with a level of insight into everything, trying to help the Resistance Army, and all the people of Rothschild, to get out of a thorny road that was difficult but could see the morning sun.
Perhaps this is the true meaning of the re-entry of the earth …… Carat recalled the oracle received just now, guessing that the red-haired woman called Elaine is the key to pry “Disease Lieutenant General” Tracy, prying the balance of power on the sea, prying the balance of nations, and only the Only when the world becomes chaotic will the Rothschilds have a chance!
Karat took a breath, quickly set up the ceremony, prayed to the “god of the sea”, and copied Elaine’s picture.
After doing so, he instinctively turned his head to look to the other side, with a somewhat complicated expression.
That direction was inhabited by the high priests of the Church of Poseidon, and the religious people who were originally in the top echelons of the resistance.
Although they didn’t dare to disobey the oracle and did make great changes, in many details, they were still steeped in the past, stubborn, conservative, backward, barbaric, and refused to embrace a more civilized church …… They continue like this, and will one day be abandoned by God …… Karat could hardly hide his inner laughter, but a strong sense of sadness inexplicably welled up.
……
After going through the prayers of the believers and picking and choosing the responses to give, Klein returned to the real world, intending to take the initiative to go out and seek people himself, and to see where there were opportunities for real play in the meantime.
As he gripped the handle with his right palm, an idea sufficiently absurd but possessing the possibility of realization suddenly flashed within his mind:
”My real purpose is not to find the red-haired Elaine, but rather to use this as a means of contacting ‘Lieutenant General Disease’ Tracy, to find out the end of the wealthy businessman Jimmy Neck, and to find out the whereabouts of that ancient collection of literature on the Grim Reaper.
”That is to say, all I need is the red-haired Elaine who can draw out ‘Lt. General of Disease’ Tracy; whether or not it’s real is irrelevant.
”I could have turned into the red-haired Elaine myself, and had Danez send me to ‘Giant Rex’ Ozier to collect the bounty in the meantime, while I easily and simply waited to meet ‘Lt. General of Disease’ Tressy.
”That’s a tawdry operation ……”
Klein shook his head violently, looking for a reason to veto the idea:
”Even though it’s a Faceless Man, women’s clothing is still unacceptable to me right now!
”…… Could it be that crossing the mental barrier in this area is part of the playing code?
”And I don’t know the red-haired Elaine, I can’t disguise her even if I wanted to, it’s hard to fool people who know her well with only one skin, and then I won’t be able to meet ‘Disease Lieutenant General’ Trixie.
”Well, it may not be Tracy who is looking for the red-haired Elaine, it may also be an enemy of this pirate general.
”I’m not sure of the ‘Disease Lieutenant General’s’ details, and I can’t assess the level of danger by doing this rashly.
”It’s better to be steady, follow the will of the heart, find out the red-haired Elaine first, get hold of the details from her, and then consider what to do afterwards.”
At that moment, Klein suddenly noticed that something was not right in the living room, and Daniz’s snoring became noticeably smaller for a long time.
Is the “Iceberg General” here? Klein twisted the handle and opened the bedroom door.
In that near-silent movement, Danitz rolled over and sat up, opening his eyes.
Trying to hide the smile that trickled from the corners of his mouth, he volunteered:
”The captain was here a moment ago.
”She said that the fleet of the ‘Admiral Above Blood’ had appeared on Longtail Island and was continuing to sail southward, seemingly into the Berserk Sea.
”The source of this news is trustworthy!”
Longtail Island? The southernmost island in the Rothschild Sea? It seems that the “General above the Blood” did plan to come to Bayam before, but was surprised by the confrontation between Kavituva and the “Sea King” Yarn Kautman, and bypassed this place and headed straight for the Berserk Sea. …… Hmmm, his s intelligence officer, old Quinn, hadn’t sent out a radio announcement should have been one of the reasons …… Klein had a pang of regret, and could only say that the plan hadn’t changed as fast as it had.
–He had planned to make the hunt for the “Blood Admiral” the battle of mad adventurer and bounty hunter Germaine Sparrow’s fame.
Killing a “steel” McVitie always lacks a bit of shock …… Klein did not say anything, his eyes calmly looked at Danitz.
Danez was looked at a little uncomfortable, dry smile two voices said:
”‘General Above Blood’ slipped away, and it’s time for you to discontinue your cooperation with the captain, isn’t it?
”I can return to the ‘Golden Dream’, right?
”Follow-up contact can be made via your messenger!”
Klein mused, took out a pen and paper from his coat pocket, and brushed down the way to summon his messenger.
Immediately afterward, he flicked his wrist and let the piece of paper fly out like a sheet of metal.
Daniz, whose Sequence 9 was “Hunter”, easily caught the note with a single reach.
He glanced at it twice before crimson flames suddenly gushed out from his palm, burning the paper completely to ashes:
”Haha, even if I forget, the Captain has a way of bringing me back.”
He paused, squeezed out a smile, and asked again:
”I can go back to the ‘Golden Dream’ ship, right?”
Klein nodded gently:
”Can.”
Can …… can! Danez resisted the urge to wave his fist in jubilation, lest he irritate the madman Germaine Sparrow.
He smiled carefully:
”I’ll go ahead and pay for my room for the time being, and go out and buy a ship’s ticket on the way, you know, Byam has been unsettled lately, and the captain doesn’t want the ‘Golden Dream’ to dock at the private harbor here.”
Still know how to behave, know to settle the room bill …… Klein did not say anything, maintained a cold posture, put on his coat, picked up his hat, and walked out of the luxury suite on his own.
When his back was out of sight and disappeared around the corner of the stairs, Danez retreated back into the room, clenched his fists, and waved them heavily twice:
”Bravo! Marvelous!
”Free at last!”
Without delay, he puts on his cap and goes to the front desk of the Azure Breeze Hotel to pay for his room, informing him that this is not a check-out.
Danez quickly made his way to the street and headed straight for a place called the Seaweed Bar, feeling the air outside smell so sweet and soothing.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly scanned a bulletin posted on the wall at the corner:
”…… ‘Blaze’ Danez, bounty of 5,500 pounds!”
The bulletin was only two steps away from Daniz, and the familiar features contrasted sharply with the duck-tongued hat he wore.
…… Danez bared his teeth in a sad smile.
He busied himself by pressing the brim of his hat down, nearly obscuring his own level gaze.
But even so, he was still apprehensive, and found the nearest department store and bought a gray scarf, wrapping it in layers around his neck, encasing his nose and mouth in it.
It was only then that Danez relaxed a little and picked up his pace, heading for his destination.
The “Seaweed Bar” belonged to the local gangster gathering place, often frequented by well-known pirates.
Although this place did not involve as much information and resources as the “Swordfish Bar” and the “Fragrant Leaf Bar”, it also had its own characteristics: there were a lot of channels at the bottom!
All Daniz had to do was to go there and buy a ticket for the black boat to Gragas, without having to provide appropriate proof of identity.
He was well aware that his bounty was, and still is, plastered all over the official ticket outlets, and that the first-class ticket for the White Onyx had been obtained in a similar way.
Entering the bar without removing his hat and scarf, Danez looked around cautiously and found D’Neill, who was selling tickets for the Black Ship.
He did not go straight over, withdrawing his eyes from the dry, thin, darker man in his thirties and searching for a raw face.
After a few selections, Danez squeezed through the crowd to a young man drinking at the bar, tapped the other man on the shoulder, and lowered his voice:
”Do me a favor.”
”What is it?” The young man alertly sidled his head and saw a sneaky fellow: the lower half of his face was tightly wrapped in a gray scarf, the duck-tongued cap on top of his head nearly covered his eyes, and there was not much of his appearance exposed at all.
This kind of dress simply means, a look is very suspicious!
For this was the Rothschild Archipelago, where the lowest winter temperatures were around ten degrees Celsius!
Danez pointed down at D’Neill:
”See that guy?
”Buy me a ticket for the boat to Gragas tomorrow.”
He handed over three one pound bills and smiled low:
”The rest belongs to you.”
Black boat tickets were considerably more expensive than regular boat tickets, but Gragas wasn’t that far away and three pounds was more than enough, and of course, it was also the shorter journey that eliminated the need for first class.
The reason Danez didn’t buy it himself was that he was worried that D’Neill would recognize him, and things would get a little dicey then.
When his bounty was still only 3000 pounds, the pirates and adventurers of the same level or lower level would seldom take the initiative to attack him, considering that it would take several people to solve him, and that the bounty was not enough to make people forget about the intimidation of the “Lieutenant General of the Iceberg” and take the risk of losing their lives, so in a similar black market, his safety could still be guaranteed. So, in a similar black market, his safety could still be guaranteed.
But now, his bounty is already 5,500 pounds, even if a few people join hands, each can share a considerable amount, and above the sea, the most outlaws!
On top of that, many strong men who felt that their bounty was low and wanted to prove themselves would definitely pick Daniz as a reputable and risky target as well.
Because of this, Daniz was afraid that Deneil would turn around and sell himself out, and simply hired a raw face to buy on his behalf.
The young man took hold of the bill, glanced at Danez once more, and rose from his position with a flourish, walking towards D’Neill.
He deliberately slowed his pace as he passed certain drunkards and exchanged a few whispered words with each other.
Danez saw this scene and was suddenly alerted to the thought that his current, sneaky, cowering self was, at a glance, perfect for a blackmailer.
Heh, do you think the reputation of “Flame” is bought? Danez was ready to get the tickets and teach those who were planning to go dark a lesson.
At this time, he found the door came in a familiar figure, that is the bounty reached 2800 pounds of well-known pirates, “blue eyes” Mis.
And this pirate obviously recognize the group of people who are ready to eat black.
”Blue eyes” Mis also has a few strength is not low subordinates …… Danez did not hesitate to get up, straight to the back door of the bar.
His speed is getting faster and faster, agile movements forced through piles of drunks, finally escaped from the bar, and then rely on rich anti-tracking skills, completely get rid of the gang.
Daniz didn’t dare to stay on the streets any longer, as it was getting dark and the number of police and soldiers on patrol was starting to increase.
He made his way back to the Blue Breeze, opened the door of his luxury suite, and saw Germaine Sparrow admiring the dusk view from the window.
Danez’s heart fluttered and he squeezed out a smile:
”It’s like this, I forgot something earlier.
”The captain asked if you’d be interested in meeting up in Gragas?”
This was a question he had concealed under before, intending to go back and tell the captain that Germaine Sparrow was not interested, but now, he realized that if he lost this crazy adventurer, the odds were that he wouldn’t be able to get out of Byam alive.
