Part 3 THE TRAVELER CHAPTER XXXV THE CITY OF GENEROUSNESS

　　BECKLAND, JORWOOD DISTRICT.

　　As the crimson glow faded before her eyes, Voorhees saw again the familiar desk and the spread out notebook where she had recorded her inspirations.

　　To her, such an experience was no longer novel, but it still left her in awe.

　　This was a power that did not belong to humans, not even half-gods and half-humans!

　　”The Spirit Eater’s stomach pouch will be available in a couple of days, and my ‘Apprentice’ magic potion has been digested …… Finally, it’s time to become a ‘Master Juggler’, I wonder I don’t know what kind of extraordinary ability I’ll obtain. …… If I rely on myself to complete my promotion, my teacher will definitely pay more attention to me, and in addition to magic potion formulas, he will definitely provide me with more or less extraordinary materials. …… I’m looking forward to it, and I don’t even know what the corresponding Sequences 6 and 5 are called. 5 are called, only clear that Sequence 7 is ‘Astrologer’, and when I become a ‘Juggling Master’, I will immediately write to the teacher …… “Forsyth felt that he was was one step closer to getting rid of the full moon curse.

　　Just then she heard a rush of footsteps coming nearer and farther away, and finally resolving into the “clang” of the front door.

　　”Hugh’s out again, what a busy time.” Forsyth sighed silently, “If she hadn’t had to pay back the four hundred pounds she owed Viscount Graylingt, we should be vacationing in Dixie Bay right now.”

　　After a long period of hard work, thanks to the fact that certain commissions that were previously impossible to accomplish became easier after the increase in strength, along with the fact that she was able to get some small quests from the golden masked man that paid well from time to time, Hugh had already boosted her savings from 110 pounds to 320 pounds, and only 80 pounds were left from paying off the debt.

　　In fact, I can help her first advance this 80 pounds, but unfortunately, although she is not tall, but her self-esteem is still very strong …… Forsyth retrieve thoughts, consider the “world” Mr. entrusted things.

　　As a doctor and a writer, she didn’t know much about radio, or even the whole mechanical field, and she didn’t pay attention to the newspapers, so she didn’t know where to go to buy the telegraph she wanted.

　　”Department store? There doesn’t seem to be any …… Ah yes, Avelle is a writer of science fiction novels, she should know quite a lot in this area.” Voorhees quickly found someone to ask for advice.

　　But she immediately had a new dilemma, that is, to visit directly, or write a letter to ask?

　　Glancing at the comfort chair covered with thick, soft blankets, smelling the scent of coffee and tobacco that permeated the room, and feeling a slow creeping warmth, Folth’s motivation to go out disintegrated a little.

　　”I don’t know him well enough to make a surprise visit.” She muttered, sitting down and spreading out the letterhead.

　　……

　　Silver City, Berg’s house.

　　Derek opened his eyes, waking up from his feigned sleep.

　　According to his original plan, it was time to perform the sacrifice ceremony and deliver the spirit-eater’s stomach pouch, but the words of the Hanged Man reminded him of that and made him decide to be a little more cautious and observant.

　　First …… collect all the materials that Mr. “Hanging Man” wants, and complete the sacrifice at once. …… Derek was silent for a few seconds, and put on the “Hurricane Axe”, and went straight to the spire. Derek was silent for a few seconds and put on his “Hurricane Axe” and went straight to the Spire.

　　He first in the merit exchange point to check the information of the current items, did not rush to complete the transaction, intends to wait for the sky lightning to reduce, go to the underground trading market to take a look again.

　　Derek went up to the third floor and went straight to the Myths and Legends and Ancient Texts area of the library, filled with hunger to look up unlearned, valuable knowledge.

　　Suddenly, he came across a book with a hard, yellowed cover:

　　The Handwritten Collection of the Black Rock Book of the Court of the Giants.

　　An account handed down directly from the Court of Giants? I wonder if there is any content related to the “King of Angels”…… Derek reached out, pulled out the book, and found that it was bound by a sheet of brown monster leather paper.

　　At this time, on the upper floor of the library, Colin Iliad, in his linen shirt and brown coat, was standing quietly, gazing down.

　　His lackluster, florid white hair was gently ruffled by the wind blowing in through the window, and his light blue eyes were deep and introspective.

　　……

　　Wednesday, January 12th, 5:40 PM.

　　The sky is dark, the clouds are rolled in, and the deep blue waves rise and fall in high and low waves.

　　”The White Onyx rose and fell in the approaching storm, as if it were a toy in the palm of a giant’s hand.

　　”This is the sea, and no matter how great the power, it seems small in front of it.” Daniz stood at the window, taking in the scene outside, “Fortunately, we’re almost at the ‘City of Generosity’.”

　　The White Onyx had been sailing quite smoothly since leaving Bansi Harbor, and with the help of the wind had stabilized at a speed of 15 knots, so arriving at Tijana Harbor only a little later than scheduled would complete the entire journey half a day earlier than normal.

　　In other words, the White Onyx, which was scheduled to arrive at the City of Generosity on the morning of the 13th, would arrive at the port on the evening of the 12th.

　　Upon hearing Daniz’s lament, Klein only glanced up at him, then withdrew his gaze and continued his own contemplation.

　　The more he played the role of “Germaine Sparrow”, the more he had to hold himself together at certain times to act in accordance with his persona, the more he deeply realized what kind of person he was, and the choices he really wanted to make in different scenarios were not the same as those of “Germaine Sparrow”. ” is not the same.

　　For example, the normal him at this point would respond to Danez, chatting with the other person about the weather at sea and the disasters brought about by those horrible storms, but Gelman Sparrow would not, and would inevitably be treated with indifference and introspection.

　　”The more similar contrasts there are, the more I recognize myself.” Klein sighed heartily inwardly.

　　This was an experience he didn’t have before when he was operating as private detective Sherlock Moriarty, because at that time, he didn’t need to disguise his character, just be himself.

　　I feel like I’ve digested my magic potion a little …… However, Germaine Sparrow also has the same thing as myself, at least when I chose to get off the ship and enter Banshee Harbor to save the people, my own identity and this identity are completely overlapped and indistinguishable from each other …… Of course, it can also be said that the In order to themselves to a certain extent to add the persona, Sven and crazy underneath is a kind, brave, compassionate, heavy feelings of the heart, oh, boast should not be, if I had known that Banshee is Binshee, I, I more than half of the goat …… not necessarily, at least at that time to divine the danger in the range of tolerable …… Klein thought, half summarizing and half laughing to himself.

　　This made him understand a problem more and more, although playing a purely fictional person could also help him digest the magic potion, but in order to speed up and improve his progress, he really needed to take the place of an identity that originally existed, gain the affirmation of the other person’s interpersonal relationship, feel the corresponding emotions of joy, anger, sadness and joy, and immerse himself in it, but not obsessed with it.

　　Become anyone but eventually return to yourself? And reap the feedback from the appropriate person? Klein looked at the pale yellow carpet, his mind racing with thoughts.

　　Seeing no response from Germaine Sparrow, Daniz spread his hands helplessly, feeling like he was holding his breath.

　　Except for the fact that he will make me do things that servants do, this crazy guy is good in all other aspects, there is only one thing, he is not talkative and has a communication barrier, if this goes on, I will surely go crazy because of this …… Fortunately, fortunately, finally we will arrive at Bayam, and finally we can be relieved! Danez felt that sooner or later he would get into the habit of talking to himself and himself in the similar silence of the other.

　　After a while he saw Germaine Sparrow look up, smile and speak:

　　”You can tell us a little bit about what points of contact belonging to pirates there are in Byam.”

　　…… shit! You’re better off not talking! Daniz’s expression twisted for a moment.

　　Ugh!

　　At 6:15 pm, before the storm, the White Onyx entered the harbor and arrived in Bayam, the capital of the Rothschild Islands, the “City of Generosity”.

　　Also known as the Spice Islands, this place has a wide variety of exotic spices, with plantations in this area as the backbone of the economy.

　　Among them, the Blue Mountain Island, where Bayam is located, occupies more than half of the archipelago’s land area, with deposits of gold, silver, copper, coal, iron, etc., high forest coverage, many varieties of fruits, and exceptionally fertile land, which is why the first colonizers named the city they built by the sea “Generous City,” believing that it was a place of treasures promised by the spirits to flow with milk and nectar. The first colonists named their seaside city “Generous City”, believing it to be a place of treasure promised by the gods, flowing with milk and honeyed wine.

　　With his suitcase packed by Daneez, Klein left room 312 and entered the aisle leading to the deck.

　　Without incident, he encountered Donna’s family and Cleves and the others.

　　After being scared earlier, the two siblings were still a bit afraid of Kline even now, half hiding behind their parents and bodyguards, not daring to speak, like wilted balloons.

　　Klein gently nodded his head, considered to have greeted them.

　　Just then, Uldi Blanche hesitated for a second and took half a step forward:

　　”Mr. Sparrow, will you be staying in Byam?

　　”If I want to hire, no, ask for your help, how should I contact you?”

　　Indeed, he is a businessman with an adventurous spirit, even if he is afraid, he still wants to make friends with people with extraordinary abilities …… Klein thought about it and said:

　　”What newspapers are available here?”

　　”The Sunia Morning and the News are mainly popular in the Islands.” Uldi didn’t need to think back to give an answer.

　　”You advertise for Damir’s special cured meat in the Sunia Morning for three consecutive days and leave your address, I’ll come looking for you, and if I don’t show up after three days, it means I’m out to sea again.” Klein gave a one-way contact rather cautiously.

　　”Good.” Uldi exhaled and broke into a smile.

　　Krivis and the others gave another thank you and left the cabin in an orderly fashion.

　　Seeing the gangway in sight, Donna suddenly slowed down and shrank back next to Klein, tilting her face up and biting her lower lip:

　　”Uncle Sparrow, since, since that kind of power is bound to bring danger and madness, why did you, why did you choose it?”

　　She had thought about this question for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to ask it.

　　Klein was stunned for a moment, and instinctively sketched a smile:

　　”For the dream.”

　　Then his voice lowered and he spat out two words:

　　”And, guarding.”

　　Guardian …… Donna pronounced the word in a slight daze and quickened her pace, catching up with her parents.

　　After watching the Blanche family leave the White Onyx, Klein retracted his gaze and said to Danitz next to him:

　　”You’re free.”

　　Huh? Danitz was a bit uncomfortable for a moment.
