A flicker of light passed through "The Moon" Emlyn's eyes. Leaning back in his chair, he answered Miss "Justice"'s question at a moderate pace with a slight smile:
"What I need to do is very simple—just make sure both sides cooperate smoothly and push things forward."
"So you don't need to directly take part in the fight, right?" "Justice" Audrey had meant to follow up, but after looking at "The Moon" for a second and rethinking his words, she gave a faint smile instead. "If that's the case, then the only thing you need to do is ensure your own safety."
That makes sense—I can't let this affair affect me. Besides, there's nothing I need to step in for anyway… I'm not in charge of the parts that require taking risks. Later I'll rent Leymano's Travel Notes, have "The World" record a few pages of Teleportation, and that should be enough for safety… After a few seconds of thought, "The Moon" Emlyn nodded slightly. "Very good advice."
Since no other members of the
Klein, however, wasn't in a hurry to leave. After his figure disappeared, he reappeared in "The Fool"'s seat and waved his hand to draw over the bound-together "Sunless Cross" and the Thief pathway magical item "Severed Finger."
At that moment, on the surface of the gray-white "tweezers," which seemed crafted from two finger bones, grains of pitch-black sand that had absorbed all surrounding light began to emerge. They flowed and gathered slowly, as if trying to form a new shape.
And the "Severed Finger" itself went from gray-white to translucent, reflecting a few glimmers, and tiny cracks split across its surface.
"The Sunless Cross really can cause the Beyonder characteristics of magical items and sealed artifacts to slowly precipitate and re-condense. Of course, the precondition is that a force similar to the mystical space above the
Just then, the gray-white "Severed Finger" buzzed and vibrated, emitting an enthusiastic voice:
"Oh, my sun! "Praise be to you! "Praise the sun! "…"
As this tweezers-like object sang, creaking noises came from inside it, as if it might shatter into pieces at any moment.
But this didn't affect its praise of the sun in the least.
"…" Klein watched with his mouth slightly open, momentarily unsure what expression to make.
After a few seconds, he sighed, separated the Sunless Cross and the Severed Finger, tossed them to the edge of the doodad pile in different spots, and used the Gray Fog's power to suppress them.
Next, he prepared to leave and return to the real world.
At that moment, the light point representing "The Fool"'s only follower, which had been marked, radiated circles of brilliance, and a prayer voice that seemed like many merged into one sounded.
Klein restrained his scattered thoughts, extended his spirituality, and saw Danitz devoutly praying in his own room, while the corresponding voice echoed in his ears:
"Great Mr. Fool, your humble follower requests that you pass the following words to Gehrman Sparrow: "According to my captain, there are many items at sea rumored to be the personal belongings of the 'Disease Admiral,' but all are fake without exception. And ever since that ambush where she was injured, this pirate general has paid great attention to keeping her itinerary secret, rarely plundering. Her fleet last appeared two months ago at Celos Island to the west of the Raging Sea. After that, she sailed into the vast ocean, and no one knows where she went. "The foreign object inside Anderson's stomach has already been preliminarily controlled, isolated from his body to a certain degree, and will not infiltrate his flesh and blood for a long time. "There are two ways to completely eliminate this hidden danger: first, to ask for help from a Sequence 4 'Sunless' of the Sun pathway, but there exists a not-insignificant possibility that one's own Beyonder characteristics might also be largely purified; second, to find the potion formula for a Sequence 4 'Iron-Blooded Knight' of the Hunter pathway, and directly absorb that foreign object through the aid of a ritual and materials. "Anderson leans toward the latter option; he's willing to take the risk."
It was clear that Danitz was mimicking the "Iceberg Admiral"'s reply in an imitative manner, which wasn't like his usual speech style… But some of the words weren't accurate enough. Had Danitz secretly altered them, using synonyms he understood better? Was he… worried that Gehrman Sparrow might not understand? Klein raised an eyebrow and turned his attention back to the content.
Had the Disease Admiral followed the
First send Danitz to try to look for her, keep a sliver of hope… I'll shift my focus to the witch Triss. I have a way to contact her. I could use the pretext of cooperating against "White Saint" Katarina to have her meet Gehrman Sparrow, see if I can control her and use her to lure out Katarina…
Both of Anderson's methods for removing the danger I can help with. Since he's inclined to take the risk and absorb the foreign object through advancement, I won't have to peddle short-term usage rights of the Sunless Cross to him through Danitz… That's good, at least I don't have to worry about
As for the potion formula for the Iron-Blooded Knight, given Anderson's important role in luring
In a flash, Klein made his decision. He manifested "The World" Gehrman Sparrow and made him assume a prayer posture.
……
Inside the Golden Dream on the Misty Sea.
Bang!
The wooden door was abruptly pushed open and slammed heavily against the wall.
At the not-insignificant noise, Anderson paused his finger as he was turning a page and calmly looked at Danitz, who stood in the doorway with his hands in his pockets.
"I've got a really good job for you." Danitz, wearing a cloak and no gloves, lifted his chin and laughed.
Anderson gave the opposite pirate a once-over, clicked his tongue, and said:
"You seem pretty full of yourself…"
