577 Book from More Than 3,000 Years Ago (2/2)

”In short, he's a bad egg!” Danitz emphasized.

”He's a bad egg!” another pirated with iron-black skin echoed.

Why do I have the nagging feeling that all of you are the same... Klein thought and said, ”Flowery Bow Tie Jodeson with a bounty of 5,200 pounds? Sequence 6?”

As expected of the standard Gehrman Sparrow reaction... Danitz glanced to the side as a lingering sense of fear was hidden within his contempt

”He's not that strong, but he's very strange. In my brawls with him, no—when in combat, fireballs suddenly can't be used, and he will be able to replicate my fire powers.”

A very familiar description... Klein subconsciously glanced towards Jodeson. After some careful thought, he recalled the familiarity.

This is very similar to the Sealed Artifact, Blood Vessel Thief, found behind Tingen City's Chanis Gate!

Klein had already forgotten the Blood Vessel Thief's Sealed Artifact number, but he still remembered clearly that it could temporarily steal a person's Beyonder powers for themselves.

The corresponding pathway? Klein retracted his gaze and discovered that Danitz and his two companions were drinking while looking in that direction.

Thinking back to how Danitz divulged his sacrifice to Kalvetua, Klein took a cup of beer and carried his food tray towards the Captain's dining room. He said indifferently, ”All of you like her, right?”

Pfft... Pfft... Pfft... Behind Klein, there was the sound of alcohol being spewed out at the same time.

He saw Danitz jump backward through the corner of his eye, looking at him in horror before turning his head in relief to size up his companions.

They had unknowingly opened up a gap between themselves as the look in their eyes turned complicated. They looked like they had the fury of being fooled.

Klein didn't stop. He returned to the Captain's dining room and enjoyed breakfast After a while, Edwina carried a meal tray back.

She drank a mouthful of milk and paused before saying, ”Danitz showed me the summoning ritual of your messenger.

”It mentions that one gold coin is a necessary component.

”I'm somewhat perplexed. Does it refer to Loen gold coins, or those from Intis, Feysac, or somewhere else? Their weights are all different, and the amount of gold they contain is different.”

Klein thought for a moment before saying, ”Loen's gold coin.”

This is also the gold coin that's worth the most... It's not like I need to pay for it myself... Klein added inwardly.

Edwina nodded.

”Payment also needs to be done when receiving a reply?”

”Different spirit world creatures have different hobbies,” Klein said.

He knew that Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina was a researcher of spirit world creatures, and he believed that she could understand what he meant

Furthermore, he wasn't lying. He just hid the fact that the messenger's owner could also pay for it.

”Yes,” Edwina very seriously answered him, ”I once attempted to find a messenger, but I could only use trial and error for the incantation. Not only was it dangerous, but it was very difficult to satisfy the requirements. I eventually had to give up.

”This is one of the reasons. The other reason is that simulating the power of the undead isn't enough to sign the contract

”Your incantation has given me quite the inspiration.”

Klein ate his breakfast in silence without explaining anything. This was because this was the knowledge he had learned from Mr. Azik. He wasn’t at liberty to teach it to others without receiving permission from him.

After a delicious and quiet breakfast, the Golden Dream approached a private harbor and dropped Klein and Danitz off. Danitz looked back at the glimmering golden ship and suddenly sighed.

”I feel like my friendship has sunk into the ocean!”

Klein pressed down on his hat and calmly said, ”Losers can always form alliances among themselves.”

...

Danitz was unsure whether he should be happy or sad.

After changing their identities and creating fake identification, they successfully bought tickets back to Bayam and boarded the ship. Klein finally had a private space for himself.

He entered the washroom and went above the gray fog and began scanning through the believers' prayers.

This time, the first thing that appeared before him was the bald member of the Resistance, Kalat.

”Honorable God, we have discovered the whereabouts of red-haired Helene. She's currently hiding in the Intis embassy. ”This has been confirmed by a laundry maid and gardener.”
