Chapter 21 The Key to the Matter

"you're free."

Danitz looked at Gehrman's smile across from him that frightened him, and couldn't help but be suspicious.

Is this guy really going to let me go?

I just told him the news about "Lieutenant General Disease". Based on what I know about him in the past few days, shouldn't he immediately ask me to give more detailed information and then devote myself to the next hunt?

Although he had expected such an ending when he told the anecdote about "Lieutenant General Disease", he still couldn't believe it now and felt that it all happened too easily and easily.

However, it is normal not to understand the thoughts of a madman... Seeing that there was no follow-up, Daniz stood up and stood up.

His luggage was always beside him, so he didn't have to spend any time to get it.

The luggage was lifted by Daniz, and the weightless and compressed floorboards made a hoarse sound, like a sigh.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but with this sigh, the closed room became darker, and the shadows solidified on the ceiling or in various corners slowly squirmed, like some kind of monster that had just awakened, with straightforward malice coming from all directions, surrounding the hand on the Danitz was suddenly stunned when he reached the doorknob.

I knew it... Daniz twisted a smile on his face that was uglier than crying, and turned around stiffly.

He looked at Hermann who was half leaning on the wooden chair and playing with his cane with his left hand, and said with a bitter smile:

"Am I not free?"

"That's right." Klein nodded politely and pushed his glasses gently with his fingers.

"But I want to cooperate with your captain, and I need someone to introduce me."

Compared to searching around Bayam like a headless fly, it is undoubtedly a better choice to cooperate with "Lieutenant General Iceberg" who already has the key, and judging from the reviews, the "Golden Dream" under "Lieutenant General Iceberg" His style is more of an adventurer than a pirate. This can be clearly seen from Danitz, and it also fits the needs of Klein's role.

Of course, the more in-depth the character of the "Faceless Man" is, the better, but being too obsessed with the pursuit of performance effects and losing one's true heart is often a precursor to the abyss of losing control. Although Gehrman Sparrow is a crazy hunter, Clay is En would rather be a hunter who hunts evil.

"Do you want to cooperate?" Unlike Klein, who had thought a lot, Daniz asked subconsciously.

In his opinion, Gehrman's strength was equal to that of the captain, and even if he didn't want to admit it, he knew that with the madman's own sealed artifact, his strength had surpassed "Vice Admiral Iceberg".

Moreover, there is a powerful mysterious organization behind the madman Gehrman. Although I don’t know the details, judging from the ordinary people who are willing to protect the Beifong, this madman’s nature is more like us... Dani The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Herman's suggestions were not impossible to consider, and the adventurer himself was indeed a good partner.

"How do you want to collaborate?"

After understanding what Herman meant, he suddenly became much more excited, put down his luggage and sat back in his seat.

Gently stroking the cane with his fingers, Klein leaned forward slightly, rested his elbows on his knees, and clasped his palms together:

"I want to meet with Lieutenant General Iceberg. I need to see the key to determine the content of subsequent cooperation."

Meet the captain?

No, no... absolutely not... Daniz was stunned for a moment, then shook his head like a rattle.

He hasn't fully figured out the details of Hermann, so how can he let him go to find the captain? What if this lunatic wants to get involved in the document fight but his real intention is to covet the captain's bounty?

He cannot be the sinner of the "Golden Dream"!

However, looking at Gehrman who exuded a dangerous aura, Danitz did not dare to refuse directly, so he could only say politely:

"Oh, you know I haven't contacted the captain yet, and the Golden Dream has not been near Bayam recently. I can take you to send a telegram to the captain first."

In this way, even if Herman really has other ideas, the captain can know the existence of a dangerous character in advance and will not be in the dark.

Sure enough, everyone needs to push themselves. If I usually don't think about it so comprehensively, shit, these jobs are supposed to be the first mate's, what do I care about the boatswain!

Danitz looked at Gehrman expectantly, the smile on his face becoming stiffer as time went by.

"Okay." Klein nodded slightly, opened his clasped hands, and kept his smile.

"Write down all the information about 'Admiral of Blood' and 'Lieutenant General of Hell' first."

...

Above the gray mist, in the magnificent palace, an ancient and mottled bronze long table sits quietly as if it has never changed.

Klein sat alone at the head of the long table, reading the various information listed by Daniz with a cold expression.

The "Blood Admiral" is suspected of being an evil spirit, with strong desires and cruelty and bloodthirsty. These are the standard characteristics of the "Sexual Sect" of the Rose School... Combined with the wanted order that appeared at hand, Klein quickly recognized it in his heart.

Made a character sketch for "The Blood Admiral".

He lowered his gaze, and the wanted posters stacked on the table flew up out of thin air, and another piece of paper marked "Admiral Hell" flew to the top.

Controlling undead, traveling through the spirit world... "Admiral of Hell" has even less information than "Admiral of Blood".

According to the information given by Daniz, this pirate general is a standard "corpse collector". The proportion of dead crew members and subordinates is much greater than the living ones, and his attitude towards prisoners is also very different from that of the "Blood Admiral"

, likes to drag opponents into the underworld and transform them into undead puppets. This is another important reason why there is relatively little information about him.

In other words, the organizations behind these two pirate generals are the "Sexualist Faction" and the "Spiritual Religion Group" respectively, and they should be on the periphery of the organization, used to make money, and are not taken seriously.

Klein made a rough judgment in his mind, swept away the displayed information and wanted notices with his hand, and hung his fingers in the air for a moment, finally placing the false image of "The World" praying to "The Fool" into the space between two crimson stars.

middle.

Ask professional people about professional matters. When it comes to matters concerning the sea and the Rose School, "The Hanged Man" and Miss Sharon are undoubtedly the most professional among the Tarot Society.

...

Sunya Sea, sailing route to Bayam.

The dark blue waves threw the "Blue Avenger" high and caught it at high altitude. This ghost ship from the Fourth Age was nothing more than a toy before the power of nature, and could only suffer in the hands of the "giant"

struggle.

In the captain's room, his body was surrounded by fine air currents. With his feet firmly on the floor, Alger stood up respectfully and bowed deeply to the storm that symbolized the endless heights.

After doing all this, he sat back on his captain's chair, his rough face damaged by wind and rain showing the confusion of thinking.

"The World" suddenly asked me about "Admiral of Hell" and "Admiral of Blood". His new target is the rumored Death Document and Key?

Alger listened to the roar of the storm outside the window and took a deep breath.

Not long after the Tarot Club ended, he immediately confirmed the situation on Bansi Island. The impatient and perfunctory attitude of the church bishop confirmed his guess, which showed that something terrible had indeed happened in Bansi.

At the same time, he also took over the mission and took the initiative to return to Bayam.

But at this point in time, "The World" suddenly mentioned the two pirate generals that were not mentioned at all in the tarot meeting just now. Is this a sudden change on his part or does he have some other secret?

No! This idea only existed in his mind for a second, and Alger rejected it.

"World", as Mr. "The Fool"'s examiner, so urgently asking himself is definitely not the result of a sudden interest, but there must be a deep-seated reason.

I really didn't expect that the document and key actually caught his attention. I always thought it was a fake... Alger opened his fingers, and a notebook was suddenly picked up by the airflow from the desk drawer and flew to the

In the hands of the pirate captain.

He held the bone pendant hidden under his clothes in his left hand, his eyes suddenly turned purple, and lines of illusory handwriting appeared in the originally blank diary.

Alger quickly read his own records, and the fingertips of his right hand were filled with spiritual energy, which quickly added to the several pieces of information originally recorded at the footer.

His Highness Edmund ordered him to pay attention to the changes in the Rhoad Islands, but did not give a specific target. Alger, who was worried that he would mislead the angels, could only record every move in the Rhoad Islands as much as possible, and at the same time pay attention to other anecdotes on the sea.

This includes the Shinigami literature that just appeared.

He looked at this string of information that he had marked as uncertain some time ago, and silently recited the honorable name of "The Fool".

He had a premonition that an opportunity to make meritorious deeds was coming.

...

"Senior..." Sharon chewed on the name Klein mentioned just now, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.

At the beginning of her escape from the southern continent, Senior was also the vanguard in hunting down the remnants of the "temperance faction". Of course, she was no stranger to this "colleague" who loved rape and killing.

Klein had to deal with Senior, a "revengeful soul" that had almost completed digestion of the magic potion and was marked by the "Mother Tree of Desire"... The scarlet twinkling blue in her eyes became more and more obvious, and the "devil" in her body

The malice driven by the characteristics constantly amplified the desire in Sharon's heart while feeling Sharon's murderous intention. The escaped spirituality broke free of control for a moment, causing the furnishings around Sharon to tremble, as if something was trying to break free.

.

Seeing the curtains in the billiard hall surging like tentacles and the cold wind blowing everywhere, Sharon took a few deep breaths and managed to suppress the abnormality.

Her condition is still not good. Although she is not out of control under the protection of "The Fool", the long-standing concept of "temperance" and the spiritual imprint of the "devil" characteristics are still incompatible, making it difficult to coexist peacefully.

"Dear Mr. Fool..." Sharon clasped her hands together, silently recited his name, and allowed herself to be enveloped in gray and white that appeared out of thin air.

...

"Dear Mr. Fool..."

Two overlapping voices of prayer came from the shining stars on the dome at the same time. After a moment of discernment, Klein decided to click on the prayer light spot of "The Hanged Man" first.

The blue water waves spread out in front of the top, and the figure of the "Hanged Man" stood in the captain's cabin like a lake, with his head lowered.

"...'Admiral Hell' last appeared near the Misty Sea. His fleet just had a conflict with 'Vice Admiral Twilight' and suffered certain losses..."

"...'The Blood Admiral' is following the traces of the 'Golden Dream', and is currently wandering in the distant sea of ​​the Rhoside Islands..."

Does Mr. "The Hanged Man" have comprehensive information? "Admiral of Blood" is chasing the "Golden Dream". Even Danitz probably doesn't know this very well... Klein looked at him casually.

After reading the simple chart that appeared with the Hanged Man prayer for a long time, I found that without systematic study, I could not understand the various information marked on it, so I could only memorize it in my mind and prepare to leave the gray sea.

The Queen of Fog presented it to Daniz and asked him to interpret it for him.

After doing all this, Klein was distracted and turned on Miss Sharon's prayer light spot.

This time, it seems that because of the mark left by the "mystery" on Sharon, the prayer scene presented by the gray fog is clearer than before, and the delicate face that is cold and inhuman is restored in detail.

In the billiards hall of the Brave Bar, Sharon clasped her hands together, rarely breaking the habit of concise answers, and said in relatively detail:

"...Senior is a direct member of the 'Sexual Sect' and is affiliated with Jacks. However, after Jacks disappeared, his forces are likely to be taken over by Zatwin, the leader of the Celestial Sect."

"Senior is different from ordinary 'revengeful souls'. Normalized sacrifices may cause him to have the mark of the 'Mother Tree of Desire'..."

The mark of the "Mother Tree of Desire"?

Klein frowned slightly and leaned on the back of the chair behind him.

It is not that he has never fought against the "Sexualist" Extraordinaries, but both Steve and "Living Corpse" Jason were killed by them without any signs of being contaminated by the evil god.

"Admiral of Blood" has the mark of the "Mother Tree of Desire" on his body. Does this mean that he can attract the attention of the saint faster, or can he use pollution to fight in battle?

Thinking of this, Klein couldn't help but look sideways, staring at the corner of the palace covered by thick gray fog, and tapped his fingers rhythmically a few times.

"what do you think?"

"It doesn't matter."

The floating gray suddenly condensed, and "Mystery" wearing a torn robe waved away Klein, sat on the top of the table without anyone noticing, and replied to Klein who reappeared in the "World" position.

She stared at the still spot of prayer light after the screening, studied the scarlet color in Sharon's eyes, and said in a calm voice:

"The impact the 'Mother Tree of Desire' can have in reality is limited. Even if there is a chance, it will not put its precious energy on a Sequence Five without divinity."

"The only thing you really need to watch out for is yourself."

Myself? Klein raised his eyebrows.

"How to say?"

"Secret"'s dark eyes reflected Klein's figure, and after looking at it for a while, he continued:

"Her situation is very special. In her opinion, the aura emitted by you and me is no different. Although she cannot directly reduce the power, the aura is worthy of her calling the saint to intervene."

To put it simply, I will repay another "secret" debt... Klein raised a smile on his lips and looked at each other without showing any signs of weakness:

"We can also summon the saints."

"Secret" cannot be denied, and seems to acquiesce in Klein's thoughts.

"You can do whatever you want, but I need to remind you that that document helped Azik Eggers more than nothing. The real stakes in this game have always been another item."

An ancient, exaggeratedly huge key slowly emerged, hanging above the long table, and "secretly" knocked on the table, jokingly breaking the indifference.

"If you can get this key, I have no objection to you even if you transfer Roman."
