Part 5 The Red Priests Chapter 26 Nast’s Memories
When the pressure was relieved, Klein pulled a chair over to the doorway and sat across the hall from the “King of the Five Seas” Nast.
Although the pirate king’s height is more than 1 meter 90, sitting on the black half-height platform, in a condescending position, but Klein is not at all inferior, backhandedly put the high bowler hat back on.
After a short silence, Nast, who had the title of the rightful Earl of White Maple, spoke with a majestic voice:
”Give me a reason to answer your question.”
Klein’s thin layer of body leaned back leisurely and said:
”The reason is that when you need to trade with me in the future, you don’t need to hear similar requests.”
The dark red glow within Nast’s black eyes jumped for a moment and turned:
”I basically know the Saints that are still active in this world, but that doesn’t include you.”
Klein rubbed the feathered mask covering his face and smiled, not answering the question:
”Have you ever met Charatu?”
”I have met k twice within the court of Rossel the Great, and I have been in contact with a number of members of the Secret Society.” “The King of the Five Seas,” Nast replied in a flat but extremely dignified tone.
Quite a few members of the Secret Cultivation Society …… have time to introduce everyone to know each other …… Klein couldn’t help but mutter a couple of words in his heart.
He then smiled:
”I have also met Charatu.”
Nast raised his hand and stroked his not-so-long black beard, and his already tall figure seemed to have swelled a bit, pressing the entire captain’s room into a stagnant and dim atmosphere.
After several seconds, he stared down at Klein in a downward stance and said:
”My impression of Rossel the Great is simple:”
”There could be no one better suited to be the ‘Black Emperor’ than K.”
He didn’t explain the exact meaning and direction of “Black Emperor”, not caring whether the demigod on the other side could understand it or not.
From the words of the “King of the Five Seas”,……, although the Great Emperor showed in his diary that it was only at the end of his life that he had made up his mind to move towards the path of the “Black Emperor” and made preparations accordingly, in reality, he had already made up his mind a long time ago, but in reality, he had already made up his mind a long time ago. But in reality, he had a certain knowledge and tendency, unconsciously displayed, and made a lot of layouts in advance……. Klein thought with a sense of realization.
He believed that the “King of the Five Seas” Nast’s perception of Rossel the Great was more or less the same, after all, only met a few times, so he turned to ask:
”In his later years, did the Great Emperor ask you or your father to do anything secret?”
The crown of the spire on top of Nast’s head shifted a bit, and he said in a low voice:
”I was once asked the same question.”
Klein let out a laugh and ventured a guess:
”Bernadette?”
”Yes.” Nast said with his hands on the sides of the iron black throne, “At that time, she was still young and not mature enough to ask such a question. With the position and level of Rossel the Great in his later years, what secret matter could be left to me and my father that could be kept more secret than k plotting and acting in secret on his own?”
This is to say that I am as immature as Bernadette was …… Klein sighed and laughed:
”For those who care about this aspect of things, even the slightest bit of hope is too much to let go.”
That’s why he had to come to see the “King of the Five Seas” after hiding the passenger ship with his illusion.
He wanted to look for clues about the light door above the gray mist in the real world, and in addition to finding a way to confirm who the third traveler was, he also had to investigate the matter of Rossel the Great in depth, which was an inevitable choice!
The dark red light in the eyes of the “King of the Five Seas” Nast contracted and expanded again:
”What is your relationship with Rossel the Great?”
Klein thought for a moment and tersely sighed:
”Sort of an old friend.”
After all, on top of that mysterious light door, the corresponding cocoons of the two men, even if they weren’t “bunked” left and right, were only separated by an obstacle, hanging together for hundreds of years.
This is the reality level of the relationship, while the psychological level, read so many great emperor’s diary Klein early unconsciously regarded the other party as a real hometown, and he has the same emotional home and identity.
Nast gazed at the demigod sitting in the doorway, as thin as a book, for a while, withdrew his gaze, and spoke in a low voice:
”What else is wrong?”
Klein was prepared for this and asked in an unhurried tone:
”In your mind, what is unusual about the late Rossel the Great?”
Nast, whose forehead was slightly wrinkled, said after a long silence:
”I don’t know much about K, I can’t find anything unusual.
”The only point that makes me feel strange is that the few times my father and I interviewed k, k would stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling window against the west side and gaze into the distance, some of which happened in the morning, some at noon, and some in the evening, and in that room, it wasn’t just that row of floor-to-ceiling windows.”
”To the west …… far away …… from the Sea of Mists?” Klein spoke as if talking to himself as if seeking confirmation.
He remembered the mysterious primitive island that the Great Emperor had mentioned in his diary, and remembered the abyss hidden somewhere in the Sea of Mists.
”The King of the Five Seas,” Nast said with a soft nod:
”That was my guess as well.”
Hoo…… Klein exhaled silently, considered, and stood up:
”That concludes my questions, so please pardon my presumptuous visit.
”Count, I wonder in what aspect of the deal I can help?”
He was fulfilling the promise he had just made.
”The King of the Five Seas,” Nast said after two seconds of silence:
”Find for me the ‘Blasphemous Card’ that corresponds to the ‘Black Emperor’.”
For a moment, Klein suspected that the Pirate King on the opposite side was testing himself, but then felt that it was hard to connect a demigod of unknown origin with the holder of the ‘Black Emperor’ card, so he smiled and said:
”I will try my best.
”However, the question just now is not worth a ‘Blasphemy Card’, and if I can obtain it, I will trade you item by item with the contents, but of course, I may only be able to provide a clue to that card.”
Nast rubbed the armrests of his iron-black throne and responded without emotion:
”So be it.”
Crane removed his hat again and saluted, then opened the door and left, returning to the deck.
He raised his arms as Bird Mastan, the Viscount of Fear, and the others watched.
His body quickly contracted, and the feathered mask on his face spread out, and in just two to three seconds, his entire body turned into a normal red-headed sea eagle.
This red-headed sea eagle immediately flapped his wings, flew diagonally into the obscure wind and rain, disappeared in the sight of the pirates of the “Black Emperor ship”.
This is a demigod ah …… Bird Mastan looked up at the sky, a sigh.
Although to the sequence 5, and then step forward, the tendency of madness and loss of control will be more and more serious, resulting in the extraordinary promotion of the possibility of failure is very great, but the name of demigods and half-human is still attractive, because as long as the success of the step, you can get the divinity, so that the essence of life changes, whether life, or ability, will be completely beyond the scope of human beings, high above the world.
Inside the steam and sail hybrid passenger ship, Klein gave up on maneuvering the red-headed sea eagle, letting it fall into the sea where no one could see it, becoming food for the fish.
At the same time, the passengers on the passenger ship are highly tense, because the “Black Emperor” is about to close in.
In fact, this is a few minutes before it is going to happen, but for some reason, the “Black Emperor” ignored the passenger ship, straight forward, and the passenger ship did not take the opportunity to get rid of, on the contrary, circled around the “Black Emperor”, maintaining a distance of a few hundred meters.
Such a strange situation maintained for a while and finally ended, the two ships are only a few dozen meters apart.
The “Black Emperor” crossed the passenger ship from the side, and sailed into the wind and rain intertwined into the night, never to return.
Passengers and crew members watched in stunned silence for several minutes before realizing a fact:
”The Black Emperor was gone! It had not attempted to plunder!
Some of the passengers cheered, some burst into tears, some collapsed helplessly, relaxing themselves, and only a few remained conscious, wondering about what had just happened, but unable to come up with an answer that would fit all the circumstances, and could only reassure themselves:
”The ‘Black Emperor’ should have completed a plunder, and this being a passenger ship and not a freighter, the other side did not look at it!”
As a sense of celebration permeated the entire ship, the Dawn Dantes look-alike Klein cast his gaze to the north.
Compared to the “King of the Five Seas” Nast, who had only met Rossel a few times, there was another person who was more familiar with this great emperor:
The “Queen of Mysteries”, Bernadette!
This lady, who was the same pirate king as Nast, had been frequenting Birkeland recently!
”When we get back to Belcandre, I’ll have the ‘General of the Stars’ contact the ‘Queen of Mysteries’ and try to meet her again as soon as possible. …… “Klein withdrew his eyes, drew the curtains, and lay back in his sleeping bed.
……
Rothschild Islands waters, “Future” on board.
General “Star” Kadriya finally received a letter from “Mysterious Queen” Bernadette.
She had no idea when the invisible messenger came, but that didn’t stop her from bursting with joy.
After opening the envelope and unfolding the letterhead, Gadelia couldn’t wait to read the first line under the header:
”That is indeed a descendant of the Shire ……”
The Tinkerer is really a direct descendant of Rossel the Great. …… We can’t let him mix with the followers of Primordial Moon any longer. “The Future” on board …… Gadelia thought and nodded her head unnoticeably.
After she made the decision, she remembered that the “craftsman” Sharf’s personality and morals are a pain in the ass, and felt that she had the duty and responsibility to discipline him.
After a moment’s deliberation, she walked over to the captain’s cabin window and cast her eyes out.
After a moment’s search, her eyes fell on Frank Lee, who was sitting against the side of the gangplank, chewing on a mushroom.
”Frank.” Gadelia called out in her usual tone.
Frank, who had his sleeves rolled up, immediately snapped out of his musings:
”Captain, what can I do for you?”
Gadelia said solemnly:
”You’ll be given an experimental assistant afterward.”
Frank froze for a moment, then broke into a pure smile:
”Yes!”
