509 Reques (1/2)
”Timothys?”
”They're still in the restaurant,” Urdi Branch subconsciously replied.
He then pointed to the area where the moldy head had been purified and anxiously asked, ”What was that just now?”
Maintaining Gehrman Sparrow's persona, Klein didn't answer and glanced at Danitz before walking directly past Donna's family to the tightly closed door of the Green Lemon Restaurant.
Blazing Danitz held his lantern and was relieved having finally completed a goal. He straightened his back, looked at Urdi and the others, and scoffed.
”You don't have to worry about what that was. Just know that it's a monster that will harm you.”
If Gehrman Sparrow wasn't only a few meters away, he even wanted to proclaim: Only I, Lord Blazing Danitz, can protect you!
Cleves exchanged glances with Cecile and Teague before taking the initiative to step forward. He comforted his employers and said, ”Leave your questions to after we get back to the White Agate.”
Frankly speaking, the three bodyguards had all been adventurers for varying periods of time. However, their understanding of monsters was still stuck at the level of folklore or stories of their drunken peers. They still found it rather surreal, as though they were in a dream.
However, since they had seen creatures like murlocs before, it wasn't that hard to accept other things. At most, they were a little weirder and uglier than murlocs.
When they thought of this, their hearts calmed significantly, and the guns in their hands seemed to regain their strength.
However, the pure light that descended from the sky still exceeded their scope of understanding. They only felt that their world view, outlook on life, and values that had long been formed had begun wavering. All they could do was temporarily ignore it, suppressing all their emotions to the bottom of their hearts.
Klein stopped at the door of the Green Lemon Restaurant, raised his right hand, and tapped it with his fingers.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
After he knocked three times in a rhythmic fashion, no one answered and there was silence.
If not for the candlelight shining through the windows and the cracks in the door, Klein would've thought it was an empty building that had long been abandoned.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
He knocked three more times.
Within the restaurant, the silence continued. Everyone seemed to be abiding by the custom of not responding to any knocking in foggy weather.
Klein retracted his right hand and patted the hem of his double-breasted frock coat.
Suddenly, he leaned back, lifted his knees, and kicked his right foot forward.
With a bang, the restaurant's door suddenly opened wide, and all the nails that had fixed the copper lock popped out.
Wearing a tailcoat, the boss, Fox, with his pudgy, nearly-round face was still standing in his original position. The ladies and gentlemen who had chosen to stay the night all opened the doors one by one and stood quietly at the door, looking over without a word.
”What… do you want?” Fox didn't flare up; his tone the same as before. However, he had a revolver in his hand.
With his Spirit Vision activated, Klein turned his head and looked around. He didn't find any traces of evil on any of the humans present.
His gaze landed on the boss of the restaurant, and his gaze turned heavy. He looked into the owner's eyes and asked, ”Where's the Timothy family?”
Fox repressed his emotions, as though a storm was brewing in his dark brown eyes while he looked at the man for two seconds. Finally, he unnaturally turned his head and said, ”There's another table. Foreigners. Upstairs.”
”Get them to come down,” Klein ordered coldly.
Fox was silent for a few seconds, until the man quickly drew his gun and aimed it at his head.
He took a deep breath and sent a waiter up to the second floor, leading the Timothy family down the stairs.
”What happened?” Timothy was a man who was more than thirty years of age. He was on vacation with his newly wedded wife.
Klein lowered his gun and flatly said, ”Something unexpected has happened in Bansy Harbor.
”Are you coming back with me to the ship or staying here?”
”Something unexpected?” While Timothy ruminated over the words, he saw Urdi Branch outside nodding at him solemnly.
He knew that the other party was a very rich import and export merchant who had three bodyguards with him. He believed that if there were any unexpected circumstances, then it would be safer to stay with them, so the answer was obvious.
As for the unique customs of Bansy Harbor, it was just a custom! He held his wife's hand and walked towards the door, politely smiling as he said, ”All our things are on the ship. Of course we'll stick with you.”
”Thank you,” he and his new wife expressed their gratitude in unison, walked past Klein, and joined with the Branch family outside.
Klein withdrew his revolver, politely bowed at Fox and said, ”Excuse us.”
With that, he turned around and walked towards Cleves and company, who were illuminated by the light leaking out from the restaurant.
With a thud, the door of the Green Lemon Restaurant closed once again, swaying slightly in the wind.
Klein had actually noticed an unusual, subtle atmosphere just now, but since his Spirit Vision failed to obtain anything, he didn't wish to investigate it too deeply, lest he ignite the huge danger lurking in Bansy Harbor.
He returned to Danitz's side and did a headcount with the light of the lantern.
Donna's family of four, their three bodyguards, the Timothy couple, and several servants are all present… Klein switched the hands in which he held his revolver and cane with, lifted his gun-wielding right hand, slipped it deep into the double-breasted frock coat, and rubbed the Sun Brooch.
With a flash of dark golden light, an invisible force quickly spread outwards, flooding everyone present like a wave.
Instantly, Donna and the others felt as if they had arrived in the south, like they were bathing in warm sunlight that dispersed the cold chill within their bodies.
They were no longer as nervous and worried, as if they had found their courage again. The remnant black colors obtained from the special cured meat from Damir Harbor quickly disappeared along with the extremely minute amounts of wicked feelings.
Sun Halo was able to enhance the courage of one's companions within a twenty meter radius and purify any evil forces within them!
With the help of the brooch and while under the control of Klein's spirituality and psyche, he could use the power of the sun to bypass any targets he didn't wish to help.
