The Traveler Chapter 92 – Attempted
A trip to Gragas to meet “Iceberg Lieutenant General” Edwina Edwards? Klein was stunned for a second and nearly cringed.
For him, this is not an unacceptable thing, on the contrary, he can take the opportunity to communicate, face to face to ask about some of the trivial details that are easy to write a letter to be unclear, he may be inspired by this, for the subsequent promotion and the future of the high sequence of magical potion formula to obtain the accumulation of information.
One more friend, one more channel …… Klein recited these words in his heart, took out a heavy gold coin, and divined whether this trip was dangerous in front of “Flame” Daniz.
The shiny gold coin rose up, tumbled down, and fell into Kraven’s palm, with the number facing up.
This means no, which means that the meeting between Kraven and “Iceberg Lieutenant General” Edwina in Gragas Harbor is not dangerous.
Klein shifted his gaze upward to look at Danitz and spoke flatly:
”Good.”
”On behalf of the Captain, I thank you for accepting the invitation.” Daniz breathed a quiet sigh of relief and smiled as the corners of his eyes arched and his eyebrows stretched.
Klein glanced at the wall clock and said:
”I’ll go down to the lavatory first.”
Go to the lavatory first? Meaning wait to go out and use your status to buy me a boat ticket? Daniz’s eyes subconsciously followed Gelman Sparrow’s figure, keenly tasting the other party’s words.
After going above the gray mist and making a confirmation with the Spirit Pendulum Divination Method, Klein washed his hands, left the washroom, and said to Daniz:
”Go out.”
”Me?” Daniz pointed down at himself.
Klein nodded as he put on his jacket.
”Actually, there’s no need, is there? You could just go to Aeran and ask him to help you get two tickets for the boat ……” Daniz offered his opinion with unusual sincerity.
Klein swept him an icy glance, said nothing, put on his bowler hat, and opened the door.
Danez shivered and swallowed back his second suggestion of “purchasing a fake ID and buying two tickets from the regular channels with the ability to change his appearance and body shape”.
He rewrapped his scarf, lowered his cap, and followed Germaine Sparrow at a brisk pace.
……
After close to twenty minutes, Klein pointed diagonally ahead where the clamor was outgoing:
”Is this it?”
It was the “Seaweed Bar” where Danez had attempted to buy a ticket to the Black Ship not long ago.
”Yes ……” Daniz did not expect to come around again, and was a bit dumbfounded for a moment.
On the way, he had already described his experiences during the time he was out, so he didn’t understand why Germaine Sparrow had returned here.
In the midst of his electric thoughts, a conjecture arose in him haughtily, and he blurted it out:
”You, wouldn’t want to help me get my revenge back, would you?”
This guy is crazy, but being a friend is quite good ah, from the fact that he ventured into Banshee Harbor for Ailan and the others can be seen …… Danez heartfeltly sighed.
Klein glanced at him, did not say anything, stepped into the “seaweed bar”.
”There’s really no need ……” Danitz followed, not so forcefully persuasive.
For his part, if he hadn’t been so afraid of making a big deal out of it, it would have been too good to pour cement over the blackguards and sink them to the bottom of the ocean!
The bar was loud and bustling, echoing with extremely local music that brought a psychedelic feeling.
Danez looked around carefully, searching for the gang that had tried to blackmail him, as well as the well-known pirate “Blue Eyes” Meath and the others.
”That’s Deniel.” Daniz casually introduced the black marketeer.
Unfortunately, it’s too chaotic here, I don’t know if those guys are still …… there, he thought regretfully in his heart.
Kraven followed, his right hand caressing the “Creeping Hunger” he wore on his left palm.
He turned his head to look at Daniz and said with his usual expression:
”Remove the scarf.”
He sounded like he was ordering Danitz to get a beer.
Huh? Daniz froze, suspecting he’d heard wrong.
Klein grinned a little and said:
”Remove the scarf and don’t make me repeat myself a third time.”
”Why ……,” Danez’s words were blocked by a cold and frantic stare.
Bewildered and puzzled, he removed the scarf, inexplicably feeling that everyone around him was sizing him up, recognizing him as the great pirate with a bounty of 5,500 pounds, Daniz “The Flame”.
Keeping a smile that concealed madness, Klein continued to command:
”Take off your hats.
”Go over and buy a ticket.”
At this instant, Danitz almost jumped as if struck by a bolt of lightning.
”This way I’ll be, recognized ……” His voice grew lower and lower as Germaine Sparrow’s eyes watched.
By this time, he had already understood what Germaine Sparrow wanted to do.
He wanted to use the 5500 gold pounds worth of me as bait to fish out the greedy pirates or the powerful men behind the gangs! Shit! How could I have just thought he’d be a pretty good friend, no, how could I have thought he was my friend! That son of a bitch! Daniz kept shouting angrily inside and kept bursting out.
There was no way for him to fight back because he knew what a crazy guy Germaine Sparrow was.
This was a madman that even pirate generals wanted to hunt!
With a twisted smile, Daniz swung his head back and forth in small increments while removing his hat and walked slowly towards Denel.
Around him, a line of sight swept by, paused for two seconds, and retracted with a flourish.
One by one, the tidal wave of drunks backed away, emptying a spacious path as if the ocean had been parted.
Seeing their reaction, Daniz, while horrified and worried, actually felt that such a scene was unexpectedly good.
This is the might of the great pirates? Is this what it feels like to be looked up to and noticed? Damn, I heard someone say my name, someone whispered “Flame”…… Daniz realized that he had been recognized, and moved forward with fear and trepidation, while dropping his hands, ready to fight.
”Daniz? ‘Flame’ Daniz!” Among the crowd, “Blue Eyes” Meath was shocked out of his mouth.
His subordinate peered over and said excitedly:
”Chief, it’s really ‘Flame’ Danez! 5,500 pounds.
”Shall we do it?”
Mith narrowed his azure eyes, raised his left arm, and gave his subordinate a hard slap on the back of the head:
”You stupid ass!
”‘Flame’ Daniz would have died many times over if he were a stupid ass like you!
”If he dares to show up like that, he must not be afraid of being attacked! He’s hiding a strong man behind him?”
Suddenly alarmed, Miz looked around.
He suspected that “Iceberg Lieutenant General” Edwina Edwards had secretly arrived in the “City of Generosity”, Bayam!
Through a gap between people, he saw a young gentleman standing at the side entrance, dressed in a black double-breasted coat and a half-height silk bowler hat, with dark hair and brown pupils, and a thin, angular face.
No words were needed; Miz’s inspiration told him that this was a very formidable being.
His high level of inspiration had caused him a lot of problems before, but it had also allowed him to successfully evade more than a few dangers!
”Go!” He lowered his voice and commanded, then with the help of the drinkers, as Danez had done before him, he fled out the back door of the bar.
Daniz went to D’Neill with his heart pounding, and bought two tickets for the boat to Gragas from the other man, who looked dismayed and terrified.
He hadn’t seen anyone launch a surprise attack until he’d returned the same way he’d come and walked out of the bar on his own with a wink from Germaine Sparrow.
Didn’t they say there were a lot of outlaws among pirates? Sure enough, improvised, more hasty traps, it is difficult to work …… Perversity often means wrong, of course, can also be used to scare the enemy …… Unfortunately …… Klein pressed the down his bowler hat and followed Daniz.
At that moment, Danitz was hovering by the gas streetlight, and when he saw Germaine Sparrow come out, he forced a smile:
”I can wear my scarf and hat, can’t I?
”Haha, those cowards!”
”May.” Without pausing, Klein quickened his pace toward the other end of the street.
! Daniz’s pupils shrank and he hurriedly followed, inquiring sharply:
”Why are you suddenly running away?”
Without turning his head sideways, Klein said in a smooth voice:
”Do you want to wait where you are for an invitation from the ‘Substitute Punisher’?”
As he spoke, he drew out the paper man, shook and flung it out, and burned it to ashes.
Daniz then realized that those cowards didn’t dare to attack themselves, but they definitely had the courage to report it, and if they succeeded, they still had a chance to get part of the reward!
He kept running into a secluded alley and saw Germaine Sparrow pause before he had a moment to wrap up his scarf and put on his hat.
”Where are we going now?” Danez said with a slight gasp.
Klein swept him a glance:
”To find Aeran.”
The corners of Daniz’s mouth twitched twice, itching to throw a fireball at him.
”Get tickets for the boat to Tirinius Island.” Klein added, threading his way out of the alley.
Tirinius was the first island in the Rothschild Archipelago after traveling south.
”…… Yeah, there’s a boat to Gragas there too! Right now everyone’s attention is on the passenger ship from Bayam to Gragas, and absolutely no one would think we’d make a loop through the harbor of Tirinius!” Danez followed indistinctly.
……
On Tuesday morning, Klein personally helped Danitz with his disguise, transforming him into a half-breed with gold-rimmed glasses.
Although it didn’t allow for the application of the Faceless Man’s powers, it was at least ten times better than Danitz’s previous disguise.
They boarded the ship and were ready to head south to the port of Tirinius, which would take about 10 hours.
Whoops!
That passenger ship left the harbor and headed out to sea.
Amidst the warm sunshine, thin clouds, bluish sky, and rather chilly breeze, the hybrid vessel sailed quietly on the gently lifting waves and sailed smoothly into the afternoon.
At that moment, Klein was in his cabin, mulling over one of the contents of the Book of Secrets, while Danez paced back and forth, thinking freely about how to brag about it with his companion.
Suddenly, their vision darkened at the same time, as if a cloud had drifted over and blocked the sun.
Klein subconsciously looked out, only to see a huge, pitch-black sailing ship appearing in the distance at some point; it was nearly a hundred meters long, with sails flying high and a porthole gun on its side.
It had not yet approached the area and was traveling in the wrong direction, but it still made the surrounding area seem as if it had gained a black sun.
With a complex look of adoration and awe, yearning and disgust, Daniz hissed and whispered dreamily:
”The Black Emperor ……”
