"I just knew that the guy didn't look weak and had a cold expression. I didn't know he was actually a lunatic."
Daniz was sitting in the first-class guest room, holding the window frame with both hands, like a locked bird, looking forward to the freedom of the outside world.
Unfortunately, what this bird is waiting for is not the golden light of freedom, but a cold gaze.
Beside the pier, the man in black who was about to board the ship suddenly felt something and looked at the middle of the ship. Daniz was so frightened that he immediately retracted his head.
Shit! Even escaping is impossible now, those guys will definitely kill me!
Daniz stood up and sat down anxiously, then stared eagerly at the closed door, waiting for the madman to come back.
At least with that guy's strength, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to get sick, he can protect himself enough.
Huh! When I get rid of these "hunters" and when I arrive in Bayam, I will contact the captain... Wait until then... Daniz thought beautifully and smiled.
.
"The 'Hunters' have boarded the ship."
Suddenly the locked door opened. Seeing the stern-faced Gehrman glance at the luggage scattered on the ground, Daniz immediately started to move, orderly sorting the luggage and placing it in various corners, so that it was easy to find.
"They're also going to ride all the way to Byam?"
After doing all this, Daniz, who thought the room was tidy, wiped his sweat and said cautiously:
"It doesn't look like that."
Klein took off his top hat, stood in front of the two chairs and debated for a second, and finally chose the less comfortable wooden chair instead of the easy chair due to the personality.
He glanced at Daniz who was standing in a reserved posture, nodded slightly and said:
"sit."
He even let me sit down, it seemed like it wouldn't be a big problem... Danitz breathed a sigh of relief, and instinctively wanted to sit on the easy chair, but after thinking about it, he honestly moved a chair from the servant room.
come over.
Looking at Lieyan, whose expression was gradually relaxing, Klein suddenly had the idea of teasing the pirate, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised.
"Those 'hunters' are not targeting pirates."
"But their leader is a demigod."
Bang!
Daniz, who had just sat firmly on his butt, was trembling all over. The wooden chair made a noise on the ground and he almost fell down.
Half, half god!
"How could he be a demigod..." His face drooped, looking like he could cry at any time.
Isn't he just a demigod?
Klein clasped his hands naturally, tapping the joints rhythmically with his fingers.
"I remember your captain is a Sequence Five?"
He was worried about what the captain was doing... Daniz suddenly pulled away from his worries, glanced at him warily, and changed the subject:
"Although the sea generals are all sequence five, only the four kings are demigods, and sea demigods are rare."
In other words, the apparent extraordinary strength on the sea is actually much weaker than that on the mainland, and the so-called danger is also for ordinary people... Klein leaned back on the chair, his body slightly arched, and he immediately relaxed a lot.
In fact, he doesn't know much about the sea. He missed the Tarot meeting last time and failed to get some extraordinary knowledge and common sense from "The Hanged Man".
Thinking of this, Klein's knife-like gaze suddenly pierced Daniz, his smile became even richer, and the "squirming hunger" in his left hand and the "lurking desire" leaning against his side became excited along with their master.
"Let me introduce the pirates you are familiar with, as well as the four kings and seven generals."
"According to the reward."
...
Inside Hvin Rambis's mansion.
Audrey stood in front of a full-length mirror, looking at herself in the mirror with all her concentration. Her green eyes and her reflection in the mirror looked at each other, as if they were looking into her soul.
This young lady was so absorbed in staring at herself in the mirror that she didn't react immediately when someone came behind her.
"Mr. Rambis."
After blinking, Audrey finally saw the figure standing silently behind her from the corner of her eye, and bowed slowly.
"Did you see anything?"
Hwen was not angry, but asked with interest.
Audrey shook her head slightly, "I wanted to observe myself as well as others, but found that it was difficult for me to define my own behavior."
"I seem to... never really know myself."
Hwen smiled gently, and while taking out the items from the box in his hand one by one and placing them on the tea table, he said comfortingly:
"It is very difficult for people to clearly understand themselves. The labels that the 'audience' attaches to the target during observation are usually only based on a certain event or the target's behavior style on certain occasions."
"But contradiction is the keynote of this world, especially intelligent creatures with rational thinking. They are often contradictory and cannot be simply summarized with one or two descriptive words."
Hwen arranged the bottles and jars in his hands neatly, turned his head and smiled:
"Even the best 'audience' cannot completely symbolize each independent life. This is the charm and depth of the thought itself, and it is also another core role of the 'audience'."
"When you say that, I feel a little less confident about my next promotion."
Audrey put on a wry smile, curiously looked at the extraordinary materials on the tea table, and walked over.
"No need to belittle yourself, you are very talented." Hwin took out a piece of parchment from his pocket and handed it to Audrey, "In fact, most people can't clearly realize that they don't understand themselves well enough, but instead are arrogant about it. Others point fingers.”
Audrey lowered her head and glanced at the "psychiatrist" formula on the paper, nodded silently, took a deep breath to adjust her state, and mixed the potion according to the steps on the paper.
A golden cold liquid soon appeared in her hand. Under Hwen's encouraging eyes, Audrey drank the potion in her hand.
At this moment, Audrey's hearing suddenly spread, and her vision rose to a higher perspective. Everything she saw became extremely radiant, and she directly glimpsed the essence of things, except for one place that was still covered by thick gray.
In her confusion, she mechanically looked at the gray patch of white that attracted her most. She felt as if she were interpreting a stone tablet that recorded a huge history, and she suddenly became dizzy.
But soon this illusion suddenly disappeared, and the thick "slate" collapsed to the size of a human. However, at this time, the silver-haired and blue-eyed Hvin Rambis no longer showed a kind smile, and his eyes were cold and gloomy.
Angelweed, who was hiding under the human skin, looked at the girl with golden scales growing in front of him, whose beauty was even more majestic with dragon-like features, and slowly lowered his palm.
With her help, Audrey quickly got out of the dilemma of emotional apathy and lost thoughts. Her golden scales faded significantly, and her emerald eyes returned to normal.
"thank you for your help."
Hvin Rambis shook his head, his smile as gentle as ever.
"It's just a little effort."
As soon as she glanced at it, the scattered items on the table were automatically collected and clinking.
The angel took stock of Audrey's condition and wiped away the presence of the suitcase on the tea table with his palm.
"If you encounter problems with digestion in the future, you can ask Yin Silant for help. I may have to go out for a while."
"Are you leaving Backlund?" Audrey became alert.
Hwen smiled and replied succinctly:
"maritime."
"I may have to take a long trip."
...
"You may need to take a long trip."
Ambrosius looked at the two demigods sitting together in front of him, and his eyes stayed on the lady with black curly hair for a second longer.
"You should have prayed to the Lord, right?"
"Yes, as soon as the ceremony was completed, I prayed to the Lord and received a response." Tristan looked at the indoor decorations that were similar to the Third Age architectural style and nodded slightly.
"The Lord hopes that I will help a scroller she values to complete the promotion, and at the same time cooperate with the Aurora Society's next actions."
"Your Highness, do you need me to do anything?"
The Lord actually explained it this way... Ambrosius stroked his robe and shook his head.
"Just fulfill the Lord's wishes."
She glanced at the Holy Emblem of the True Creator that could be seen everywhere in the room, and said softly:
"But the Aurora Society is more complicated here, so you may need to worry more."
Facing Tristan's questioning gaze, she explained:
"You remember the Abraham family, right?"
Tristan nodded slightly, and Yin Fulin, who had remained silent, suddenly became more alert and looked over.
"Are they still determined not to compromise with any of the gods?"
"Of course." Ambrosius said with a hint of helplessness, "They are just like their ancestors, they don't believe in anyone but themselves."
"It's just that this kind of thinking cannot bind everyone. Abraham split a hundred years after you fell asleep, and the family's strength was greatly weakened."
A hint of nostalgia flashed in his dark blue eyes, and Ambrosius sighed:
"At least the Aurora Society has now absorbed some of Abraham's students, and the Witch Sect has also taken away some. Although the remaining core members still have the main sealed artifacts and accumulation of characteristics, they have no ability to use them at all. Now within the entire family,
There are very few Sequence Sevens that can be made up."
"Has no one converted to the Lord?" Tristan was a little confused.
After Mr. Men was expelled by the "Dark Night" and the "Tyrant", His Highness Ambrosius once helped Abraham through the most difficult time, and even helped them retain a demigod, a weak "Mystic Mage"
”.
He couldn't understand what those Abrahams were insisting on, and would rather split and continue to decline, and the remaining core members would rather not convert to the "God of Mysteries".
As if he understood what Tristan was thinking, Ambrosius shook his head.
"Senor Abraham passed away a hundred years ago. It was only after his death that Abraham split into small families and never used this surname openly."
"His direct descendants did choose to convert, but the Abraham family regarded this behavior as betrayal, and those descendants who converted rarely adhered to the 'apprentice' path. Now most of them choose to be 'snoops,' by
Edmund is in charge."
"Their new surname is Yin Wensi."
Tristan fell silent, and he lost one more acquaintance in this world.
Understanding Tristan's sudden silence, Ambrosius deliberately paused for a while before continuing:
"The people now absorbed by the Aurora Society belong to the students trained by Abraham and will not be cursed."
"Their leader is also a 'secret mage' and one of the previous strong contenders for the head of Backlund Parish within the Aurora Society."
"But now that you have been successfully promoted, his dream has come to an end." Ambrosius nodded affirmatively.
"The one who is preparing to adjust her status recently, she doesn't like these careerists with evil intentions, so..."
Having said that, what follows is self-evident.
...
At sea, Saturday, in the first-class guest room of the North Wind.
Klein was enjoying the lunch exclusive to the first-class guest room, while Danitz sat opposite him, occupying only a small area of the table, and satisfactorily eating the steak on the plate.
Since the newly boarded "Hunters" occupied the high-end restaurants, the North Wind had to change all remaining first-class cabins to in-cabin dining and send special personnel to deliver the meals.
As for the mysterious "widow" in the luxurious guest room, she has never appeared, and her presence on the ship is extremely thin.
Of course, after a few days of careful inspection by Klein, she decided that she was the most likely subject of suspicion for the previous spy on the owner.
On this passenger ship with an excessive concentration of Extraordinary beings, the only thing that Klein was thankful for might be that unlike what he had previously expected, those "hunters" did not look for trouble in a hurry, but were extremely honest. However, when they encountered an unlucky pirate ship,
Only then did he go crazy and burn the pirate ship with the red flag to the ground. He didn't even count the loot and the only Extraordinary characteristic, and fed all the pirates to fish, in the name of maintaining law and order.
It's best to go all the way to Bayam like this without causing any trouble in the middle... Klein tasted the enjoyment brought by the meat juice in his mouth, his inspiration suddenly moved, and he swallowed the food in his mouth slowly.
, and knocked on the table.
"Go and open the door."
Danitz, whose mouth was full, was stunned for a moment. Before he could say anything, he heard a moderate knock on the door and stood up hurriedly under Klein's gaze.
He opened the door and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a sailor who nodded at him and walked into the guest room after gaining approval.
The man glanced at Klein, who was sitting at the dining table, and said politely:
"I'm sorry to bother you, sir. I'm here to inform you of a temporary change of course."
Temporary change of course?
I remember that this person should be the first mate on the ship, not those "hunters" who wanted to take the ship to another place...Klain Teng had a bad feeling.
He wiped his mouth slightly and said briefly:
"Where?"
The first mate sighed apologetically, uneasiness flashing in his eyes.
"Bansi, they're stopping there for the night."
"Bansi?" Daniz on the side repeated, visibly panicking.
"Yes," the first mate glanced at him and took the initiative to explain to Klein on the chair, "Although the destination is still Bayam, they requested an extra stop, which will make them arrive about two days later than originally planned.
sky."
Klein's expression did not change, but he lightly tapped the table with his fingers.
"What happened in Bansi?"
Staring at the adventurer's unkind gaze, the first mate shook his head in embarrassment and sighed slowly.
"There were some bad rumors there before."
"When a ship was approaching Bansi, everyone on the ship saw incomprehensible visions. Most of the crazy crew members emphasized that they saw a giant dragon."
"That ship..." the first mate paused, looked at Daniz, and said in a much softer voice, "That ship is the Varyag, and it is also a new maritime terror that has appeared in land newspapers recently.
