The Traveler Chapter 228 – The Solution
Entering the gray mist, Kraven reached into the pile of clutter and pulled out the Scepter of Poseidon, browsing through the countless points of light that surrounded the sealed object.
Each of these points of light corresponded to the prayer of a believer, and their radiance flowed in a divine and ethereal manner!
Soon, Klein used his mind to make a preliminary screening, focusing on the part that originated from the sea rather than the island – after he isolated the “Scepter of Poseidon” from the gray fog, he was no longer able to directly utilize this “artifact” to sense the surrounding sea and make a decision. After he isolated the “Scepter of Poseidon” from the gray mist, he could no longer directly use this “artifact” to sense the surrounding ocean and make effective operations, but had to use the prayer images of the believers in order to use this as a base to expand five nautical miles in all directions and affect the corresponding underwater creatures.
Klein’s spirit spread, touching one of the light points, saw the evening, a fishing boat back to the harbor before the daily prayers of the natives.
As Klein’s intention changed, the perspective of this image soared higher, and the obscure scene of accumulated layers of clouds and undulating waves around him was incorporated more and more.
”Signs of a storm brewing a couple hours ago? Also, when I went out earlier, it felt like the environment was pretty depressing …… That’s why Erland said that ‘Mad Captain’ Connors’ ship should be anchored right in the shadows of whichever of the nearby islands is sheltering from the storm… … “Klein tapped his fingers on the edge of the long, mottled table and muttered silently to himself.
With this inference, his next “search” would be much easier, because he did not need to search the vast and boundless sea, but only needed to pay attention to the vicinity of the different islands in this sea.
With a thought, a greenish-blue jewel lit up at the top of the Scepter of Poseidon in Klein’s hand.
There is no longer a fishing boat on the ocean, the scarlet moonlight under the dark blue near black waves are undulating with a small amplitude, suddenly, the splash of water noiselessly upward, the surface of the sea vaguely appeared a pair of exaggerated eyes looking at the sky, under the eyes, there is a huge shadow silhouette.
At the same time, a sea fish floated near the surface, of various species.
They took on the soring spilled out of thin air and turned around, and then each sank again, heading for a different place.
Ten or so seconds later, the waters within five nautical miles returned to their previous state, the deep blue near-black waves rising higher and higher one at a time, waiting for the final outburst.
Whew …… This is a bit of a consumption …… Klein raised his left hand and rubbed the corner of his forehead.
He did not simply drive the sea creatures, but gave them a certain amount of extraordinary spirituality, so that when they found the ships parked near the island, they could send back the images they saw in the form of prayers.
This is not too difficult and complicated for the “Scepter of Poseidon”, but for the manipulator Klein, the burden is very great, the consumption is not small.
Then, Klein selected the prayers around the different islands of the archipelago, and used the same way to give “orders” to the sea creatures in the corresponding area.
After all this, he did not bother to throw the “Scepter of Neptune” back to the pile of clutter, and directly returned to the real world, took off his coat, and collapsed on the bed.
Spiritual consumption to the extreme, he thought he would pass out, but the head of the empty pain, so that he could not open his eyes, but also can not enter the dream world.
Klein could clearly feel that his skin was like an allergy, with bumps growing out of it and countless buds hidden underneath them.
As Mr. “Hanging Man” said, if you let your spirituality dry up for two consecutive days, you will surely have hallucinations and signs of losing control, I was just at my limit for once, but I haven’t maintained it for long, and my body has become a bit abnormal, but of course, this is also because I have just been promoted for a short time, and I haven’t digested it yet, and I have taken excess of the previous sequence of magic potions. of the front sequence magic potion …… Klein retrieved his thoughts a little bit and tried to meditate on the cascading orbs of light as a way to calm the exhaustion of his body and spirit.
After the state was slightly relieved, he finally fell into a deep sleep and slept until midnight.
At this time, the wind outside was fierce and the rain was pouring down, the storm that had been brewing for a long time had finally descended.
And while this was not something too uncommon in Byam, other than that, the night was rather peaceful.
Klein went to the lavatory to address his personal hygiene, washed his hands, and took four steps against the grain to enter above the gray mist once more.
He picked up the Scepter of Poseidon, which was sitting on top of a long bronze table, and began to browse through the “images” that the sea creatures were sending back to him.
In these scenes, there were ships located in different harbors, different docks, and in the shadows of different islands.
Although Klein had never seen “Mad Captain” Connors Victor, he had previously learned about the characteristics of the other party and the various symbols of his pirate group, so he was not afraid of being unable to distinguish between them at this time.
A picture flashed, he patiently scrutinized the details of the ships.
After ten minutes or so, an undisguised delight flowed from his eyes, causing one of the images to zoom in quickly and draw the perspective closer!
He had found the vessel suspected to be the target!
The ship was moored to the leeward side of Simeon Island, at the far end of the Rothschild Archipelago, with towering rocky cliffs behind it and undulating waves below.
Its sails and flag had been furled, but on each side of the ship’s side was a pattern of white skulls wearing one-eyed eye patches.
This was the very symbol of the Mad Captain’s Pirates!
Crane casually unclasped the pendulum inside the cuff of his left wrist, and used the divination method to confirm it.
The answer pleased him, it was indeed Connors Victor’s ship!
And this “crazy captain” only had such a boat!
”No wonder most of the adventurers on the sea know that the ‘Mad Captain’ has connections with the kingdom’s human traffickers and slave traders, but the Storm Church’s investigation into the colony’s missing population didn’t point to him, and a guy whose bounty is only 3,300 pounds, and whose pirate group only has one ship, how do you look at it is only able to do some ‘small business’? ‘small business’, can’t afford to take on a population trade of that magnitude …… What should we do next?” Klein first sighed silently, then began to consider how to investigate.
His first reaction was to summon a huge undersea creature, riding on something like a “whale ship”, taking advantage of the storm to go straight to the island of Simeon, and then sneak in under a disguise, relying on the ability of the “Master of the Secret Puppet”, not to cause too much commotion to control the “Mad Captain”. “Crazy Captain” Connors Victor, but after careful consideration, I think this approach is too reckless.
Against other pirates who were not generals, it was no problem, but since “Mad Captain” Connors Victor was involved in such a terrible event as the Bakerland Haze, it was necessary to take into account that what he usually showed was just a disguise, and considering that he actually had another identity, and that there was a high probability that there were enough traps to deal with the pirate generals, and that there were enough traps to deal with the pirate generals. probability that there were traps large enough to deal with the pirate general, and if one were to dive in hastily, even if Klein had been armed to the teeth, he might not be able to walk out alive.
”Summoning myself, in the form of a spirit, and going over there with the Scepter of Poseidon? This is to avoid accidents, as soon as there is a problem, you can directly end the summoning and return, however, the ‘Neptune’s Scepter’ is essentially the extraordinary characteristics of the high sequence of the ‘Storm’ pathway, and as long as it appears in the real world, it is very likely to be attracted to each other with the Sea King, Yarn Kautman …… This will make things impossible …… “Klein looked at the storm within the image and had a preliminary idea in his heart.
Before doing so, he once again materialized a pen and paper and wrote down a divination statement:
”It will be dangerous to deal with Connors Victor.”
Picking up the silver chain of the Spirit Pendulum, Klein gathered his thoughts and focused on the divination.
Soon, he opened his eyes to see the citrine pendant doing a clockwise spin, fast and with great amplitude.
This meant that dealing with Connors Victor would be very dangerous!
”Sure enough, it’s just as I expected, it’s a good thing I didn’t go over there recklessly ……” Crane picked up the “Scepter of Poseidon” and decided to carry out the plan he had just thought of.
That is to take advantage of the storm cover, with the help of the prayer image, directly use the “Scepter of Poseidon” to attack Connors Victor’s ship through the air, to scare the snakes, and force him to reveal his secret!
When he grasped the corresponding situation, he would end the attack before “Sea King” Yarn Kautman sensed the abnormal fluctuation, or before he arrived at his destination.
If Connors Victor unfortunately fell into the hands of the “Sea King”, Klein would not be disappointed, because after he investigated the truth of the Beckland fog incident, he also had to find a way to pass the information to the three major churches.
If the “crazy captain” successfully escaped, Klein will use the secrets spied out by the snakes to formulate a plan for the subsequent attack!
Phew …… Klein slowly exhaled, looked at the ship swaying in the deep black waves, raised the “Scepter of Poseidon” in his hand.
At the top of the scepter, the greenish-blue jewels that surrounded the circle burst into bright light one after another.
