Chapter 656 Thief’s Thread(1/3)
The end of the Suniya Sea, the ‘Sea of Ruins’.
There is no sun, moon, day or night here.
Everything as far as the eye can see is darkness.
Under the oil lamp, Alger stretched out his hand forward, as if he wanted to grab something.
At this time, a sailor ran over and said angrily: "Mr. Governor, that guy Phil is sick again!"
Alger frowned slightly, "Didn't he take his medicine on time?"
"He took it." A look of fear appeared on the sailor's face, "But those medicines have no effect on him at all. Governor, please go and have a look."
Alger nodded.
Swinging his big cloak, he followed the sailor into the cabin with his head held high.
See it's him coming.
The sailors retreated to both sides.
Alger calmly came to the hammock quietly.
On the bed, a young man with red hair and a few freckles on his nose was closing his eyes and mumbling random words.
"Alas~"
Alger sighed.
The voyage is not always smooth sailing.
Even if he has the protection of 'Mr. Fool', accidents still happen from time to time.
Phil.
Alger knew this kid.
The other party's father was once the boatswain of the Blue Avenger.
Although the ghost ship was once full of spies from the Church of Storms, Alger still quietly made a few real confidants, and Phil's father was one of them.
It's a pity that the iron-tower-like man couldn't survive the madness brought about by promotion. Because he lost control, Alger had to execute him personally.
As a compensation.
Alger took Phil on board.
Phil was quite obedient and inherited his father's down-to-earth and taciturn qualities.
certainly.
Alger did not hide the truth and gave the child two choices: sailor's potion and 500 gold coins.
In the end, Phil drank the magic potion and said bluntly that he would follow the path of his father and become a brave sailor on the sea.
Alger was very pleased.
However……
In a mysterious place passing through the Suniya Sea, a huge sea snake with a human face attacked the fleet.
Phil fought bravely but was unfortunately injured.
After that I kept having a fever and talking nonsense.
I took various medicines but nothing worked.
And the closer he gets to the place abandoned by God, the more severe his symptoms become.
Alger stared at the unconscious Phil attentively, trying to get some information from those disorderly babbles.
But in the end, nothing was found.
Shaking his head, he ordered all sailors to be driven out of the cabin.
After hesitating for a moment, he touched Phil's hair and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, kid, I won't let you die."
Alger Wilson, 37, his father's age.
Take out a tarot card from your magic pocket.
He tapped the cards.
Buzz——
The space twists and ripples.
The tarot cards instantly turned white.
Alger said in a deep voice: "The moon."
Sizzling, sizzling...
After a brief noise, a figure suddenly appeared.
He has black hair and red eyes, and his hair is slicked back, giving him a serious look with a bit of chicness.
He looks about 27 or 28 years old, handsome, slightly feminine, with undisguised arrogance between his eyebrows, a high nose, and thin lips.
“What an honor~”
Emlyn White smiled: "Mr. Hanged Man, may I help you in any way?"
Tarot cards are party tokens and possess all kinds of incredible abilities. Like the previous "anti-mask device", this card was also created by "Mr. Destiny" Jon Joestar.
However, every time it is used, a portion of the Church of Fool's achievements will be automatically deducted. Alger rarely uses it unless absolutely necessary.
This time he really had no choice.
Alger stared at Emlyn's projection and said straight to the point: "Mr. Moon, please help me find out what disease this child has."
Emlyn turned around and looked at Phil on the hammock.
"Well……"
He hesitated for a while and then spoke with some regret: "If you look at the external symptoms, they are just a series of complications caused by poisoning, but these ravings should involve mysticism, and my knowledge base is not enough to answer your question."
Emlyn is proud.
But he is also rational.
If you know it, you know it; if you don't know it, you don't know it.
When it comes to knowledge blind spots, there is no need to pretend to understand.
The rising star of the vampire clan pondered for a moment and said: "Apart from Mr. Fool and Mr. Destiny, I am afraid that only Mr. World and Ms. Hermit can solve this problem."
Mr. Fool and Mr. Destiny are the true gods of sequence 0.
As a legendary mercenary, Mr. World has seen a lot.
The path of God where the Hermit Lady is located is closely related to ‘knowledge’.
After hearing this, Alger's face became a little solemn.
Do you want to trouble Mr. Fool and Mr. Destiny for such a trivial matter?
No.
This will only make you appear incompetent and unable to share the church's worries.
Seeing that Alger was silent, Emlyn said with relief: "Don't worry, with the church as a backup, your son will be fine."
Alger:???
No, now you want to be a father?
He shook his head, "This is not my son, he is a sailor on my ship. His father was my brother in life and death."
Hearing this, Emlyn was a little embarrassed.
I could only touch my nose and say, "Anyway, I hope everything is fine with you."
After a pause, he joked: "I almost forgot, if you see that guy Taiyang in the Eastern Continent, remember to give him a good punch for me."
Alger smiled bitterly and was noncommittal.
Interrupt communication.
He thought for a moment and once again used the power of the card to contact Mr. World.
——White Wolf, a white wolf active in the Feysac Empire and the sea.
If it were him, there must be a way!
Sizzling...sizzling...sizzling...
The noise was heard for a long time.
There was never any response from the other party.
"Busy?" Alger secretly guessed.
I waited another three or four minutes.
To be continued...
