Chapter 23: 23
Route (Second Update)Chapter 231 Route (Second Update)
Danitz hurried over, and before he pushed open the door, he couldn't help but stop where he was to take a breath and complained a few words.
"Shit, what happened again?"
He had just sneaked out for a walk after contacting his captain, Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina. Not long after he went out, a letter was handed to him by Gehrman Sparrow's messenger and a Loen gold coin was collected from him.
Now Danitz was completely confused and even suspected that Hermann and the messenger had swindled him out of his hard-earned money.
However, when he pushed open the door and came to Gehrman's own room, he saw that the "Admiral of the Stars" and his group, as well as the second mate Maric and others on the ship were gathered in the room, and the instigator of everything, Gehrman Sparrow, was sitting on a chair in the room, and there were several broken pieces of mirror on the ground.
"What happened?" Danitz blurted out subconsciously.
"According to the divination, we need to leave quickly."
Leonard spoke to Danitz on behalf of Klein. Danitz was startled, looked at Leonard, and scratched his head:
"So, what exactly happened?"
"Some unusual situations have occurred on Bayam's side. The Storm Church is tracking down the believers of the God of the Abyss." Leonard briefly explained to Danitz: "In order to prevent ourselves from being exposed, we'd better leave directly tonight."
"Get ready." After patiently waiting for Leonard to finish his explanation, Klein lowered his voice and said to Danitz, "Go contact Vice Admiral Iceberg and agree with her where we will meet. You don't need to worry about other things."
"…Okay, I understand."
After hearing the news from the two, Danitz nodded, realizing the current level of danger. He walked outside, preparing to contact Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina.
As a pirate who had been on the sea for many years, Danitz was well aware of the consequences of being caught by the Church of Storms. He would either become a prisoner in the church's water dungeon or become a guinea pig for experiments on Beyonder items. In short, these wild Beyonders would not have a good ending after being caught by the Church of Storms.
However, I just thought they were just hunting down the followers of the Sea God. I didn't expect them to suddenly believe in other gods and cause such a big incident... Could it be that they believed in the evil god?
Danitz couldn't help but mutter in his heart
. After Danitz left the room, Klein looked at the other people in front of him and nodded silently.
"Ms. Cattleya, Ms. Sharon, do you have any suggestions?"
After hearing Klein's question, Cattleya was silent for a moment, then said to Captain Sparrow in front of her:
"I don't think we need to wait until night to go."
Don't we have to wait until night to leave... Klein stroked his fingers and asked Cattleya in front of him,
"Tell me in detail."
"Okay, Captain Sparrow." Cattleya paused for a moment and said, "If the situation is as dangerous as you said, then it will be useless even if we leave late at night."
"Given the characteristics of your ship, even in the daytime, ordinary ships of the Storm Church will not be able to catch up with us."
Cadeliya calmly analyzed:
"According to my understanding of the Church of the Storm, if something really happens here that is beyond the control of the church and even affects the church's foundation here, they will most likely choose to report it up the chain of command and eventually report it directly to the main church of the Church of the Storm, and send powerful Beyonders other than the 'Sea King' Yan Kottman stationed here to help."
"Although this extraordinary person may not be as powerful as Yan Kottman, this way, the high-level combat power of the Storm Church will increase anyway, and they will have the ability to pursue us. Just in case, if the situation is really bad, I suggest that we leave Bayam directly during the day. The 'Sea King' will not abandon Bayam and directly pursue our pirate group at the level of a pirate general."
"Moreover, I also have the ability to make ships fly with the help of starlight. If your ship is willing to cooperate with me, even if there is no connection between me and the Lost Homeland, we can quickly get away from the Rorsted Archipelago."
This is also a method... But if I don't use dream divination, I can try to go to the gray fog to divine whether there will be any news about other high-level members of the Storm Church coming here.
Well, given that there may be high-sequence enemies around me, it would be best not to let the power of Sefirah Castle penetrate into reality and let others discover that I own Sefirah Castle.
Klein turned to look at Sharon beside him:
"What about you, Miss Sharon?"
Sharon was like a puppet, shaking her head slightly, indicating that she had no further suggestions. Seeing this, Klein clearly understood what the two meant, and said to them solemnly,
"Please take charge of the preparation of supplies on the ship as we mentioned before."
As an "astrologer", Cattleya can use various spells to cover up their tracks, including those traces that need to be covered in the process of purchasing supplies. As a demigod "puppet", Sharon can use extraordinary abilities to make the necessary supplies fly to the Lost Homeland.
For a demigod and a Sequence Five, the two of them were enough to match the production capacity of hundreds or even thousands of people. Klein even imagined that if they could use a copy of the Beyonder Characteristics of a "Puppet" to create a controllable machine, they could even use this Beyonder Characteristics to create an automated factory.
Huh... Watching the people around him gradually leave, Klein turned to look at Xio who was still standing in front of him.
He stood up and took two steps back and forth. After a moment, Klein made a gesture as if he had made up his mind, and then he said to Xio in front of him.
"Miss Hugh Dilcher, has your 'Sheriff' potion been digested?"
Why did the captain ask me about the progress of my potion digestion... Xio couldn't help but ponder in her heart, and a possible possibility flashed through her mind. After thinking of this possibility, she took a deep breath and said solemnly to Gehrman Sparrow in front of her:
"My 'Sheriff' potion was digested during Backlund's time. Now I have obtained the potion formula of 'Interrogator', but unfortunately I haven't had time to obtain extraordinary materials."
Xio seemed to be afraid that Captain Sparrow in front of him might be worried that he did not have the auxiliary materials for the potion, so he added.
"But I have already collected the supporting materials."
"Is that so…" Klein murmured for a moment. He acted out a look of confusion hidden under a cold face, and then made it look like he had made a decision in the eyes of others. Then he asked Xio in front of him:
"Do you want to be promoted to Sequence 7?"
Although Xio's heart was pounding after hearing Klein's words, he still restrained his desire and said cautiously to Klein in front of him:
"I haven't collected the master material for 'The Inquisitor' yet."
As a poor noble lady, Xio knew that others would not care about her for no reason. This was the most important lesson she learned after her family fell into poverty.
"I can pay you in advance for the extraordinary materials you need."
Klein smiled slightly and saw Xio in front of him. "But in exchange, in the subsequent battle with Admiral Blood, I need you to kill at least one of the opponent's Sequence 7 Beyonders and give me his remaining Beyonder characteristics. Can you do it?"
Xio hesitated for a moment and nodded. She glanced at Klein in front of her and said to him with a hesitant tone, "You gave a fair price."
"If I fail to do it, I am willing to save money to exchange it later."
"good."
Klein stretched out his left hand, and the color of the black glove on his hand gradually changed, turning into a human leather glove with a cracked mouth embedded in the palm.
On the back of the glove, there are two blood-red eyes open, with bits of light blue light seeping out of them.
Klein was releasing the soul of the "interrogator" that was grazing in the wriggling hunger, and gradually extracting the extraordinary characteristics contained in it.
For Klein, as the "Master of Secret Puppetry", he may not need to use the extraordinary ability of "Interrogator" for a long time in the future.
And now there are four souls being grazed on "Creeping Hunger". Apart from the two extremely evil souls of "Zombie" and "Traveler" that were grazed before, this "Interrogator" and the grazed "Psychologist" among them are all innocent people who were killed by Qilingos before and can be released.
Under the suppression of the aura of the true creator on Klein's body, the "Creeping Hunger" did not dare to devour this soul. Instead, it released it from the glove and allowed it to return to the kingdom of the god he believed in.
Xio was just staring at the scene in front of her, and couldn't help but be a little stunned. Her mind suddenly flashed through the situation that the "Hurricane Vice Admiral" Qi Lingos had encountered before, but she didn't expect that this item would end up in the hands of her captain.
Xio couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive about his captain's strength, and he had an even higher estimate of the strength of "German Sparrow" before him.
Soon, a light blue translucent hexagonal prism appeared in Klein's hand. He turned his palm downward, pinched the hexagonal prism and placed it in Xio's palm.
"When we return to the Lost Homeland, you will prepare to advance to Sequence 7," Klein said to Xio, his tone slightly gentle.
Rather than continuing to master this useless Extraordinary ability, it would be better for him to let Xio, who is beside him, take a further step on the path to becoming an Extraordinary. For him, the members of his ship will act with him for a long time to come, so adding a combat force is more important than improving his own combat power only a little.
After all, one is to work personally, and the other is to let others work for him. A smart person can tell which one is better at a glance.
Moreover, Xio is now also under investigation by the Tarot Club.
By the time Klein leaves the sea and acts alone, he will probably have become a demigod, and the ability of Sequence 7 will be of no use to him.
"I see, thank you, Captain."
Xio solemnly held the extraordinary characteristic that Klein gave her and said to him.
Obviously, for Hugh, he had made many contributions to the military before but failed to obtain the extraordinary materials of the "Interrogator". But now his captain gave it to him almost for free, which was a double encouragement to Hugh, both spiritually and materially.
"After you have accumulated a certain amount of merit, I will also give you the Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 6. You can also collect them yourself, and you can keep all the spoils you get in battle."
Klein skillfully painted a big picture for Xio, and Xio nodded, obviously finding the captain's words very useful.
He saved his life and Fors's life and traded the extraordinary characteristics he needed with him. If it were another pirate captain Xio, he would have suspected that he had other intentions towards him.
But Captain Sparrow...
Looking at the cold face of Gehrman Sparrow in front of him, Xio couldn't help but mutter a few words in his heart.
She left Klein's room holding the golden lamp in one hand and the Beyonder Characteristics in the other. Klein rubbed his temples, feeling inexplicably tired.
"I still need to divine the specific situation..."
Klein turned around and said to Leonard casually,
"Stay here for a while. I'm going to the bathroom."
-Xiu
was sitting in her room, using the Spiritual Wall to carefully seal the extraordinary characteristics in her hand and put it in an iron box. Just as she was about to put away the extraordinary characteristics, she heard a chuckle in her mind:
"You actually dared to make a deal with the mysterious follower. You are braver than most gods."
"So, do you want to make a deal with me?"
(End of this chapter The Witch Lady Smuggled Away (Part 3)Chapter 232 The Smuggled Witch Lady (3rd Update)
"Huh..."
Klein felt a slight pain in his temples and his spirituality was somewhat exhausted. He looked at the divination results in front of him and found that if he left at night, he would indeed encounter some bad things. Therefore, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had asked Cattleya just now.
"If I were to make my own judgment, I would definitely choose to leave here at night, because the main color of the Lost Hometown is black, and it will be better concealed in the night. Haha, I still forgot about the Beyonder factor. Empiricism is not advisable."
Klein made a decision, secretly deciding to leave Bayam before this evening and not get involved in any subsequent fights that might occur in Bayam.
He seriously suspected that when Ouroboros had asked him to contact Darkwill, he had already used his actions to achieve a certain purpose, causing Bayam's fate to change in some way. Otherwise, the situation here would not have changed so much suddenly, with so many Poseidon believers turning to believe in the God of the Abyss.
He was more willing to believe that Gao Wei and the real creator had reached some kind of connection, and finally achieved a win-win situation in Bayam.
(Gao Wei: I won twice)
Unfortunately, I can't tell fortunes… I can't tell fortunes about things related to "source quality"…
Klein shook his head slightly, imitating the feeling of his spirit body falling and leaving the gray fog. He rested for a while, and when the sun began to set, several crew members knocked on his door.
Heath Doyle, who was considered to be a relatively reliable member of Cattleya's "Star Pirates", said respectfully to Klein:
"Captain Sparrow, our captain has prepared a place for the supplies to be stored - we can leave at any time."
"--I see."
Klein stood up slowly, holding the suitcase in his left hand, and took off the black robe hanging next to him with his right hand and put it on. There was a gleam in his eyes, and he said to Heath Doyle in front of him.
"Go talk to Cattleya. We'll go to the port soon and be ready to leave at any time."
"Okay." Heath Doyle took out a few scrolls that he had already made and handed them to Klein. Klein took the scrolls and looked at them. With his own inspiration and knowledge of mysticism, he roughly figured out that the spells stored in them had the effect of making people invisible.
A moment later, Klein walked outside with the help of the shadows gathered in the criss-crossing alleys and the spells provided by Cattleya. While approaching the port, he also went to see what was happening outside.
This sight made Klein discover something strange about the situation outside. Most of the Beyonders who had been capturing the Abyss believers on the streets had disappeared, and no one knew where they had gone. Although there were some destroyed shops on the streets and some places were burning with flames that seemed to have been intentionally ignited, overall the situation was not as chaotic as Klein had imagined.
No... Klein couldn't help but frown.
The superb facial recognition ability that the potion in the "Faceless Man" stage gave him allowed Klein to discover something unusual. A large number of the pedestrians walking or talking on the street in the distance had previously worn dark blue armbands, but now they had all taken them off, disguising themselves as normal residents.
This made Klein feel that the situation here was becoming increasingly bizarre, and experience told Klein that such bizarre situations were usually accompanied by things that were out of control.
As he thought about this, Klein quickened his pace. He walked to a secluded place near the sea and saw Sharon, who had been ready there.
He nodded slightly to Sharon and took out a glass bottle burning with green flames from his arms. Klein pointed the mouth of the glass bottle at the sea and placed the "Lost Homeland" sealed inside.
The surrounding sea water suddenly became somewhat dark. Some of the "Made-in-Punishment" who were on routine patrol here also noticed the abnormality here. After a brief pause, they split into two parts. One part walked over here cautiously, and the other part quickly ran towards the church to seek support.
For the extraordinary people of these churches, the characteristics of "Admiral Aurora" are well known to everyone. When encountering such a thing, the first thing they do is to observe from a distance and report it.
For these teams whose captains are only at Sequence 7 and whose members are generally at Sequence 8 or even Sequence 9, if they rush forward rashly, the only outcome that will await them is total annihilation.
But in order to prevent such pirate generals from carrying out certain terrorist actions in the places where the Storm Believers are located, they are still performing their duties and trying to find a solution.
A member of the "Manufactured Punishers" team looked at the huge shadow in front of him, and his hands holding the weapon trembled slightly, but the next moment his movements became firm again. It seemed that if the huge ship in front of him made any unusual movements, he would directly step forward and try to stop it.
——Even if the price of stopping this pirate general is death.
However, Klein, who had also served in the church's team, did not attack the "Manufactured Punishers" who were on guard against them from a distance. Klein just slowly walked to the deck step by step following the shadow cast by the "Lost Homeland".
As Klein walked forward step by step, countless wooden boxes filled with supplies that had been invisible before were automatically loaded onto the deck of the ship under the control of the "puppet". This supernatural phenomenon stunned the captain of the "Manufactured Punisher" who was responsible for the rearguard in the distance.
"Get ready to leave."
After Klein had completed all the preparations before the voyage, he gave instructions to Cattleya beside him. He motioned for Cattleya to follow him into the captain's room of the Lost Homeland. Cattleya nodded and walked in with Klein with a calm expression.
Klein used his mind to communicate with the Lost Homeland, and the tentacles of shadows touched Cattleya's body. As the shadows spread, Cattleya felt that the ship seemed to have temporarily become an extension of her body. This magical touch had never appeared even on her own Future.
Cattleya took a deep breath, and the starlight around her gradually expanded. In an instant, the entire ship was covered with brilliant starlight. These starlights played the role of a spiritual wall, and the light gradually became stronger, gradually merging with the entire "Lost Homeland".
The next moment, after all the crew members returned to their supposed positions and prepared, the "Lost Homeland" collapsed into a ball of shadow, merging with the bright starlight to form a somewhat dim sea of stars. The starlight and the shadow entangled with each other, and flew away like a torrent, leaving only large patches of waves surging around.
The "Punisher" in the distance saw a figure quickly bounce up from a distance, and launched himself into it before the shadow disappeared.
Cattleya had never felt that the power consumption of this ability was so low. It seemed that the entire ship was cooperating with her in the leap across the sea.
According to the news brought by Danitz, they were going to the relatively safe sea area south of the port of Dilinius to meet up with Vice Admiral Iceberg. The two ports were not far away, and under Cattleya's control, they could generally reach their location with one starlight jump.
After arriving there, they would need to stay on the sea for a while until "Vice Admiral Iceberg" returned from the Sonia Sea and met them.
But at this moment, a low roar came from the north, and a figure rushed up like lightning, punching the "Lost Hometown". The "Lost Hometown" instinctively used the shadow to fight back, but it was this counterattack that caused the "Lost Hometown" to deviate slightly from its direction and shifted several degrees to the east.
Klein keenly saw that the person who came was an extremely serious old man wearing a black soft hat and a pair of silver eyes. He was wearing a black robe embroidered with a storm symbol and had an extremely angry look on his face.
"Not good—" Cattleya on the side wanted to terminate her ability, but she was unable to retract her power in time due to the inertia of the ship's rapid movement. The old man was soon thrown away by the "speeding" ship and disappeared at the limit of Klein's vision.
With a heavy sound of falling into the water, the "Lost Homeland" landed on the water and spun twice like a barrel. The shadow above quickly enveloped the deck, plowing a deep water mark on the already violent sea surface.
The traces were quickly swallowed up by the waves that followed one after another, and the Lost Hometown quickly regained its balance, swaying slowly to a stop on the sea.
There was a traffic accident... Klein sat in the captain's chair and flipped open the map that had just been slapped on his face. Even the somewhat indifferent face disguised as Hermann looked stunned at this moment.
Cattleya next to her even turned over twice and now leaned against the corner, gasping for breath with a pale face.
Seeing Gehrman Sparrow looking over, Cattleya took a deep breath, grabbed the cabinet next to her and slowly stood up, saying helplessly:
"The one who intercepted us just now might be a demigod from the Church of Storms. Fortunately, he didn't catch up with us. But because of his attack just now, we also deviated from our original course."
The corner of Klein's mouth twitched slightly.
"How far have we deviated from our current position?"
"…Let me take a look."
Cattleya casually took off the pair of glasses that had just been broken, opened her tightly closed eyes, and prepared to peek at the scene in the distance to determine where her ship was now.
She opened her eyes and glanced over Germann, but her gaze paused for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Klein asked in confusion.
"...fine."
Cattleya turned her head expressionlessly and passed by the captain, whose body was stained with countless layers of dazzling colors, including green like death, red like blood, and a variety of blurred and veiled feelings. Under these dazzling lusters, there were other relatively dim colors.
Cattleya suddenly realized that after opening the Eye of Prying Secrets, the captain had already armed himself to the teeth with extraordinary items, so much so that she could not tell how many extraordinary items Gehrman Sparrow had on him.
After a while, Cattleya said to Klein with some surprise,
"Fortunately, we didn't deviate far. We just deviated slightly to the east. Now we have reached the Raging Sea. As long as we sail west for about half a day, we can reach the place we agreed on before."
"No need." Klein said expressionlessly to Cattleya in front of him,
"We landed next to Vice Admiral Iceberg's fleet and almost collided with them just now."
He looked into the distance and saw Edwina's flagship "Golden Dream" on the horizon at the limit of his vision, as well as "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina standing at the bow.
He and the captain, with whom he had been communicating through ritual magic, finally met in reality.
Klein originally wanted to move the Lost Homeland forward quickly, but at this moment he heard a voice:
"Captain! Someone has sneaked onto our ship."
"Half of her body was hanging outside, and she seemed to have been knocked unconscious."
No way... Klein's mouth twitched slightly and he walked outside.
He seemed to know who the stowaway was, and couldn't help but sigh at the stowaway's audacity and luck.
...Just now the boat was about to turn into a washing machine, why didn't they throw you off?
Klein gritted his teeth as he looked at Triss, who was being held up by Heath Doyle and Frank Lee. He inexplicably admired the "witch of pain"'s desire to survive.
Leonard, who was protected by the Lost Homeland on the other side of the deck, was spitting out rainbows, while the witch lady who had sneaked into the "washing machine" was just unconscious.
——
"You may not believe me, but I was hit by a ship just now."
"God's Singer" Ace Snake said seriously to "Sea King" Yann Kottman in front of him. Yann Kottman suppressed his laughter and nodded.
"Yes, yes, yes."
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but sigh:
This is a really novel way of making excuses for being late. I have never heard of this excuse even though I have been in the church for so many years...
I feel like I can't code the next chapter. I have something to do in the evening.
(End of this chapter Hunting Agreement (Fourth Update)Chapter 233 Hunting Agreement (Fourth Update)
Looking at Triss, who was tied to a chair with rattan by two people, Klein inexplicably felt a sense of humor.
After a short while, Triss woke up from her coma. She struggled subconsciously, but found that her body was tied up and she couldn't move.
She licked her lips and looked at Klein in front of her, with an awkward smile on her face.
"…Long time no see."
As a "dimensional walker", Triss, who had worked with Klein before, is one of the few people who knows Klein's true identity.
"..." Klein paused for a moment, then turned to look at Frank and Heath Doyle beside him, and ordered them in a cold tone,
"Throw it down."
Heath Doyle hesitated for a moment, but Frank, whose brain was single-threaded except for research, did not think much about it. He reached out and grabbed the chair where Triss was sitting and was about to throw her into the sea.
Seeing that the man in front of her was not joking, but really wanted to throw her into the sea, Triss couldn't help but panic. She used her own assassin's power to try to break the vine ropes on her body, but failed after two attempts.
——What is this made of? Why is it so tough?
Seeing the beautiful sea getting closer and closer, Triss couldn't help but panic. She said to Klein in front of her, "Wait..."
"I am ready to cooperate with you."
"What cooperation?" Klein signaled Frank to stop what he was doing. A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Triss beside him.
"Haha, I brought you news about 'Vice Admiral of Disease' Tracy. Do you want to know?" Triss sneered and said, "Believe me, the Witch Cult is not only tracking me now. Even if it is you who planned it before..."
"Untie her from the chair."
Klein gave the order succinctly. After Heath Doyle removed the ropes that bound Triss, he hesitated for a moment and let Frank hold Triss down with him.
"Are you interested?"
Triss tilted her head slightly and looked at Klein in front of her. If it were any other man with poor resistance, he would be seduced by her enhanced "pleasure" ability and even become her slave.
Klein recalled Triss's appearance before she turned into a woman. He nodded slightly and said to her,
"Just say it directly."
"It's about the Witch Cult's current cooperation with the royal family." Although Triss's shoulders were pressed down and she could hardly move, she still swung her forearms slightly, hugged her chest with her arms, and spoke to Klein lazily.
"You probably don't want others to know about this, right? If others knew what you did before..., you know the consequences, right?"
Please, Japanese witch, restrain yourself... I always feel that you and Lao Gao have learned a lot of modern terms, which makes me very uncomfortable.
Klein speculated in his heart with an expressionless face. He wondered if Gehrman Sparrow would pull out his pistol and shoot Triss in front of him, given his character. As malice surged in his heart, Triss couldn't help but feel a sense of hunger coming from Klein in front of her, causing her to shudder instinctively.
But soon, Triss realized that this was the effect of a certain extraordinary item on Klein. She chuckled and stood where she was without dodging or avoiding.
After a moment, Klein retracted his aura. He stared at Triss and said to her in a deep voice,
"Come with me."
Following Klein's signal, Heath Doyle and Frank Lee withdrew their hands from Triss. Looking at the two figures walking away, Frank was about to walk back when he heard Heath Doyle beside him slowly say:
"The Breath of the Lord…"
Frank immediately took note of what his colleague had just said in his heart and prepared to report the matter to his captain later.
He was both worried and excited. He was worried that his colleague from the "Secret Prayer" path would be killed by the captain because of his faith in the true creator; he was excited because if Heath Doyle lost control, he might be able to study the abilities and flesh and blood of the "Rose Bishop".
With such conflicting emotions, Frank went straight to Cattleya's room.
In the captain's room on the side, Triss, whose face had turned pale due to the series of tumbles of the Lost Homeland, sat in front of Klein. She looked at Klein and said teasingly,
"You've reached Sequence 5 so fast. I remember when I met you, you were only Sequence 8 and had just become a Beyonder not long ago."
"What path are you playing? Haha, you keep a straight face like a puppet. Can you jump from the 'Fortune Teller' path to the 'Prisoner' path?"
Is your Sequence Eight an "instigator" or a "provocateur"? Klein looked at Triss in front of him and said to her calmly,
"Have you ever taken the Provocateur potion?"
"That's not the case, but did what I said just now sound like a provocateur?" Triss' tone was a little arrogant. She blinked innocently and said to Klein "sincerely": "Thank you!"
Hunters represent the positive in the extraordinary path, so Triss was very happy about Klein's words.
Klein couldn't help but frown, and immediately doubted whether he had made the right decision to bring Triss into the captain's room.
He just felt that his blood pressure was a little high, especially when he saw Triss's innocent and sincere look.
Klein himself did not like Triss who killed innocent people in order to digest his potion. He only brought Triss into the captain's room reluctantly for clues about the witch sect.
Furthermore, if Triss wasn't also a member of the Aurora Society and hadn't caused any widespread destruction or disasters since then, Klein might have added a grazing soul to the Creeping Hunger in his hand, or added a secret puppet himself.
Secret doll?
Klein gently pinched the spiritual thread on Triss's body, causing her body to stiffen for a moment. This way, he allowed Triss to calm down.
The life-threatening deterrent effect was obviously extremely significant. Triss's body only stiffened slightly, and her temperament in her gestures became much more normal, no longer looking like she deserved a beating as before.
She slightly stretched her stiff joints and changed her tone to say to Klein,
"You really don't know how to be gentle with women. Okay, let's get down to business."
She looked at Klein in front of her and said to him, "What do you want to know about the Witch Cult?"
I want to know something about the Witch Cult. Didn't you tell me about it first? Klein nodded indifferently:
"Start with what happened to you."
"Let me think about what I know." Triss thought for a moment and then said to Klein in front of her:
"You should know that I was taken to the southern continent by your old friend with Edessak to do some things, including trade and other dirty work. Of course, it does not involve human trafficking, you can rest assured."
For some reason, Klein always felt that although Triss's tone did not carry any other meaning, he inexplicably felt like he was being instigated.
This reminded him of the opponents he had encountered when he was a keyboard warrior on the Internet. Each of them was proficient in sarcasm and confusing right and wrong.
"You should know that I don't want to continue to be a woman, but want to find my true gender. Haha, thanks to your friend, I know that I was used as a vessel for God's descent by the original witch. Fortunately, the Aurora Society provided me with shelter at that time, so that I would not be led astray in the direction of femininity."
Is it possible that I feel that you are already very feminine, but you just don't realize it?
Klein couldn't help but think of this in his heart, and a somewhat strange expression appeared on his face. After seeing the expression on Klein's face, Triss's eyes also changed, and she seemed to curse in her heart.
"Please forget what I just said."
Triss used up all her strength and finally managed to utter these words. Klein nodded silently, deciding not to provoke the witch of pain in front of him and prevent her from digesting the potion to a higher level.
However, thinking of Triss's transformation from a man into a woman, Klein thought that she was probably digesting his potion every minute and every second.
"So I investigated a lot of things about the southern continent with Edessak. Among them was the whereabouts of the missing people there, and finally we discovered a shocking fact."
At this point, Triss paused for a moment and smiled:
"Edessak himself is unwilling to accept this fact. He originally thought that his father did the things that caused the disaster in Backlund just to be promoted to a higher sequence, but he did not expect that George III could be so cruel as to attack his own people."
This is normal. After all, George III has the status of Sequence One... I don't know if you know this news.
Klein thought so. According to Gao Wei's words, if these Sequence One angels have no attachment to the human world, then they are just a group of remnants whose humanity has been squeezed out to the point where only a part of it is left.
"And when we were about to find out the truth, Edessak suddenly disappeared. It seemed that he had triggered some extraordinary ability and appeared directly in the southern continent." Triss shrugged helplessly.
"After I separated from Edsak, I met the sick girl Tracy. She wanted to capture me for the mission of the sect. Alas, she didn't succeed. I tried to assassinate her at that time. She didn't die, and I escaped with great difficulty."
She lifted her hair, revealing her only remaining eye:
"I was lucky enough to survive thanks to the effect of an extraordinary item. But because of this, I need to take revenge on Tracy who is chasing me, and I also need to complete, heh, the task that was assigned to me before. Only in this way can I be promoted to the Iron-Blooded Knight and return to my male identity."
"And according to my investigations during this period, in addition to hunting me down, Edessak and you who killed Panatia at that time are also wanted by the Witch Cult."
"So, do you want to join me in hunting down 'Disease Girl' Tracy?"
Triss tilted her head and smiled like an innocent girl.
