Part 3 The Traveler Chapter 98 The Coquette
Crane slowed his head sideways and glanced at Danez.
The great pirate with a reward of up to 5,500 gold pounds immediately shut his mouth and boarded up his face as if nothing had happened.
After making sure that Elaine had not accidentally boarded the passenger ship, Klein turned his body around and walked back to the carriage, asking in a seemingly casual manner:
”Did you hear all the conversation just now?”
”No, no, a little, a little …… ” Daniz dryly laughed and shook his head.
Klein nodded gently:
”It must be recalled, otherwise it will be easily recognized as a fake.”
”Recognized as a fake …… me?” Daniz raised his hand in bewilderment and pointed to his nose.
Klein said with an unchanged expression:
”She is a member of the Sauron family and possesses extraordinary anti-tracking skills, together with some subtle movements and performance just now, it’s enough to confirm that she’s Sequence 7 of the ‘Hunter’ pathway, the ‘Arsonist’, which is a good match for you to play nicely.”
”Me? I can’t! I can’t even make up that look! All it would take is one look and I’d be recognized!” Daniz was startled.
Klein stifled a laugh and said in a low voice:
”I’ll lend you ‘Creeping Hunger’.”
”…… No no no, I don’t have experience in this area, I definitely can’t hide it from the ‘Lieutenant General of Disease”s men!” Daniz was unusually nervous and unusually alarmed as he pushed back.
In his eyes, this was something extremely shit and extremely shameful that only a pervert or a madman could accomplish without any psychological barrier!
Klein nodded in agreement and said expressionlessly:
”Indeed, you are rather stupid.”
Daniz forced a smile, “Yes, I am stupid.”
Klein stopped talking, crossed over to Daniz, and opened the door to the compartment.
Danitz’s eyes subconsciously followed, suddenly realizing that Germaine Sparrow’s sideburns had turned red.
He blinked dully and saw that the lines of the other man’s side face had softened, his eyes turquoise and deep, his lips gently pursed, slightly soft and wobbly, with a kind of unisex handsomeness that was identical to Elaine’s, who hadn’t been gone for long.
”……” eyed Germaine Sparrow’s figure as he entered the compartment, Danez looked back and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
He was silent for a few seconds and muttered silently to himself:
”What a madman, changing into a female without any hesitation when he says so!
”I have to say, Elaine’s male disguise is really quite pretty.
”This kind of extraordinary ability is really practical, if I can obtain a similar item and figure out what the Captain’s ideal type is like in her mind, I can make changes accordingly and make her fall in love with me.
”But then, is it still me she’s in love with or not?”
Daniz was lost in philosophical questions for a moment, until a cough came from the carriage behind him.
He came to his senses, harnessed the carriage, and left the harbor, preparing to make a wide circle before returning.
Inside the carriage, Klein wasn’t as calm as he appeared to be, and while Elaine was currently wearing men’s clothing, saving him from having to think about the most humiliating part of the process for the time being, having his face feminized and squeezing out his breasts still made his mood heavy with embarrassment and a bit of embarrassment.
”Hey, the change in the appearance of the ‘Faceless Man’ is easy, the difficult part seems to be all inside, ah, to play the ‘Faceless Man’ well, many psychological barriers must be broken through one by one, and if you don’t do it, you have to spend a lot of time , playing someone for real for several years, being recognized by everyone associated with the identity, being fully integrated into that character, treating even myself as if I were real …… It’s much more challenging to the bottom line for me, much more twisted and crazy.
”In order to speed things up, certain obstacles must be overcome.”
Klein dragged a suitcase out from under the compartment seat and rummaged through the cloths and clothing, replicating Elaine’s alter ego exactly.
–He really could have had Daniz in disguise just now, and would have had no problem borrowing the magical item made from the extraordinary properties of the Faceless Man from Justice for a few days.
However, this means that there is a high probability that Danez will be confronted one-on-one by “Disease Lieutenant General” Tracy, and without the ability to “clown” he will not be able to hide for long, and his life will be in great danger.
Klein would not and could not let anyone else take such a big risk for his own business, so he could only challenge himself and take the field himself.
Soon he looked exactly as Elaine had just looked, a handsome face on the neutral side under a black silk bowler hat, with both soft and defined lines, and turquoise eyes as beautiful as jewels.
He adjusted his stature, several centimeters shorter than the original, narrower shoulders, smaller bones, and seemed to be much lighter.
Klein’s current appearance quickly appeared in his mind, this was the ability of the “Joker”.
”It’s not bad, it’s not much. …… Maybe it’s because I’m not in women’s clothes, there’s not much difference between changing into Germaine Sparrow, changing into Danez, changing into something else, it’s just that it’s a little bit prettier, and a little bit more cumbersome in the chest. …… If I had looked like this on Earth, I’d have looked like this, I’d have had no worries about having a girlfriend a long time ago.” He tugged at the corner of his mouth, half self-deprecating, half comforting.
An action that was very common when placed on Germaine Sparrow, but at this moment it actually seemed a little pitiful and aggravated.
Day! Cursing, Klein busied himself with adjusting his mind and plunged a little into the real play.
As time passed, he found that his mental block really faded a lot, and with it came a relaxation, a calmness that seemed to be more in tune with the magic potion.
And that meant faster digestion.
It really works …… Klein muttered silently to himself and quietly got up, taking four steps against the grain and entering above the gray mist, once again confirming the danger level of this operation.
Upon returning to the real world, he switched to Elaine’s voice and deliberately lowered it:
”Go to Harbor Pier Six.”
Daniz didn’t think it was wrong, and only after changing direction did he suddenly wake up and shiver uncontrollably, “Just like the real thing …… If he ever takes on the appearance of a captain and lies to me, I probably won’t even be able to tell the difference …… ”
After a while, the carriage reentered the harbor, heading for the passenger ship Elaine had originally scheduled, but not really getting close enough to make a half-circle, arriving at a nearby warehouse.
Daniz jumped out of the wagon and knocked on the warehouse door as promised.
Inside, a group of dockworkers with obvious local ancestry came out first, scattering in all directions.
It was only after confirming that nothing else was going on that the bald rebel Karat came out in his wheelchair.
”Where are the men?” He looked at Daniz.
Through this matter of Elaine, Daniz had managed to establish contact with the Resistance.
Daniz hemmed and hawed:
”In the carriage.
”She drank the potion that causes people to lose their strength, and the effects will last for another ten hours.
”Remember, I’ll take seventy percent of that 1,000 pound bounty.”
Karat raised his right arm and waved it, and at once two skinny rebels got into the wagon.
”Chief, it’s the woman.” They quickly poked their heads out and said in a local gangster-esque tone.
”Bring her down, our job is to protect her.” Karat emphasized again.
The two rebels instantly stepped off the wagon one on each side of the manly Elaine.
Klein, with the help of the Joker’s control, pretended to have weak and wobbly steps.
He was quickly transferred to a room in a building in the civilian area of Bayam, and at the same time, Karat instructed a local gang member who believes in the “God of the Sea” to go to the “Giant Rex” Ozier and tell the other party that this side has already found the target, so that he will take 1,000 pounds to exchange. As for Danez, he went back to the hotel to wait for news.
At noon, Ozier gave a message, saying he did not know whether it was true or not, and wanted to send a person to confirm.
Karat agreed to his request.
Toward evening, a figure appeared outside the house.
It was a Ruin in wide-legged pants and a brown jacket, dressed as a local, with short eyebrows, half those of a normal person, deep-set eye sockets, and tan eyes that were quite angular.
Karat pushed his wheelchair and came to the door, glancing at the man and asking in a hushed voice:
”Mysore King?”
”Should I express my honor that you even know me.” The man gave a laugh.
He was originally the captain of a pirate ship under “Hurricane Lieutenant General” Zylingus, and after being subdued by “Disease Maiden” Tracy, he became the third mate of the other party’s flagship, “Black Death”, and was nicknamed “The trickster”, bounty of 5400 pounds.
Karat didn’t respond, turning his wheel and stepping out of the way.
Mysore, led by a gang member, entered the room that leaned in and saw Elaine, dressed in gentleman’s attire, sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyes sometimes averted and sometimes glaring back, her teeth lightly biting her lip in anger and fear, desperation and stubbornness.
”It’s her all right, but I’m not sure because she’s wearing heavy makeup, and once a woman wears heavy makeup, it’s hard to see what she really looks like, so wipe her face clean and I’ll identify her again. Eh, why don’t you guys handcuff her? Do you guys know she’s dangerous?” Mizor scrutinized her carefully and took two wary steps back.
”She’s been drugged, has little strength, and isn’t resisting right now. Since you asked for it so much ……” Karat motioned his chin to one of the rebels.
The Resistance man rummaged for handcuffs, walked over and cuffed Klein’s hands behind her back.
Klein did his best to show off his acting skills just as he had done earlier when he had shown that complex of emotions: constantly struggling and unable to do anything about it.
Then the other gang members got water and wiped up his face with a rough towel.
Fortunately, a lot of cosmetics in this era are not very waterproof …… Klein began to adjust the lines and contours of his face with the help of the towel s cover.
It didn t take long for Misael to see Elaine with a wet face, only to realize that she in such a state had a more than usual softness and beauty, and her turquoise eyes were bursting with a strong hatred and a confusion that was difficult to eliminate.
Unfortunately, she belongs to the captain …… Mizor s throat squirmed.
As a man a pirate, he often fantasize “disease Lieutenant General” Tracy and red-haired Elaine at the same time into his arms, but can only think so.
What a disgusting look …… Klein almost retched.
Although he knew it was directed at the red-haired Elaine and had nothing to do with himself, he couldn’t help but get goose bumps.
At this moment, he took a step forward in recognizing his true self and understood that there were some things he definitely couldn’t accept.
”It is indeed her.” Mithril turned back to Karat, “Here is your bounty.”
He tossed over the small leather pouch he carried in his hand.
Karat examined it briefly and tossed it to his subordinate, murmuring for a second:
”We still need your assistance.”
”No problem, when the time comes, go directly to Ozir.” Mithril pointed to the red-haired Elaine in the room and said, “May I take her?”
”You may.” Once again, Karat stepped out of the way.
Klein didn’t want to be assisted by Mysore and pretended to regain some mobility as he stumbled outside.
Mysore was afraid of “Disease Lieutenant General” Tracy, so he could only hold the other party’s shoulder and lead her to the carriage parked outside.
The carriage left the city all the way to the private harbor, Mysore took Klein disguised as red-haired Elaine to board a fishing boat prepared in advance, and left Bayam in the night.
Nearly an hour into the voyage, they saw a ship anchored in the shadow of some island cliff, with a huge flag painted with white bones flying above it.
The Black Death!
