To leave legends in nine places beyond the planet… Isn't that just outer space? Klein looked at the potion formula in his hand, almost frowning.
He felt this was even more dangerous than the "Miracle Invoker" advancement ritual.
Although the "Box of the Old Days," the two Grade 0 sealed artefacts of the Abraham family, and some Grade 1 sealed artefacts all had the ability to send people into space, making the ritual seem not too difficult, Klein clearly remembered what Arianna, the ascetic leader of the Church of the Goddess of the Night, had once warned him: space contained terrifying corruption, and it was dangerous even to understand it below the angel level.
Not being a "Traveller" would lead to corruption by space, yet to become a "Traveller" one must roam space… This is a complete deadlock, impossible to untie… Perhaps the Abraham family has records of safer places in space; I shouldn't be too pessimistic… Also, when I get back, I need to use divination to verify the authenticity of this formula… Dorian wouldn't deceive me, but that doesn't mean he can't be deceived by others… Klein withdrew his gaze, looked at Dorian Gray Abraham across from him, and said:
"Where are all the Beyonder characteristics of the 'Traveller'?"
Dorian, who had already memorized the honorific name of "The Fool," thought for a moment and said: "Two are in our family as Grade 0 sealed artefacts, one gave rise to the 'Box of the Old Days,' one is reportedly in the hands of the Witch Sect, one is with the Church of the God of War, and the last one has been missing since the Second Epoch, no one has found it."
If I could exchange the "Box of the Old Days" for one of the relatively normal Grade 0 sealed artefacts of the Abraham family, I wouldn't have to worry about obtaining the "Traveller" Beyonder characteristics, but the advancement ritual is truly troublesome… Moreover, the essence of this ritual is clearly to leave an imprint in space, and no matter how you change it, you can't avoid space… Klein controlled his expression, nodded to Dorian, and said: "I hope you can find the answer when the Crimson Moon becomes full."
Having said that, his figure quickly faded, reaching Fors's limit of maintenance.
Dorian watched Gehrman Sparrow "leave" like this, then instinctively lowered his head to look at the paper with the honorific name of "The Fool" in his hand, and found it had also become illusory and disappeared.
"…" Unable to find the correct answer from the various Beyonder powers recorded in his family, Dorian turned to Fors, opened his mouth to ask a few questions.
At that moment, his heart suddenly ached, and his pupils dilated sharply.
Damn! The curse is acting up! Dorian quickly reached into his clothing, took out a small metal bottle, unscrewed the cap, brought it to his lips, and gulped it all down.
Clang! His movements were too hasty, and the cap of the metal bottle fell to the ground.
Fors watched her teacher's face turn pale, saw him clutch his chest, and for a moment couldn't figure out what had happened.
As a former surgeon, she quickly made a judgment and said: "Teacher, do you have a heart condition? Do you have any specific medicine?"
After asking that latter question, Fors realized she was too anxious and too concerned, making herself look a bit foolish: The bottle the teacher just drank must have been the specific medicine!
"Do you still need help? I have recorded the 'Doctor' ability." Fors asked again when she saw that her teacher's expression had eased.
Dorian shook his head, indicating that it was nothing.
At the same time, he sighed inwardly: It's precisely because you didn't follow the plan and directly 'summoned' Gehrman Sparrow in the room, leaving me no time to take my medicine, that this happened.
…………
In the Sounia Sea, on the Rorstead Islands, at the capital, "Generous City" Bayam.
The "Blue Avenger" docked at the port in the evening.
The Church of the Lord of Storms' disruption of the sea trade routes to Sounia Island during the previous period had finally drawn the intervention of a demigod from the Feysac Empire, resulting in the deaths of many "captains" and a severe blow to the fleet.
Alger Wilson and his crew, who had been attacking the port from the island's primeval forest, survived this blow and returned to Pasu Island for rest when the Church of the Lord of Storms and the Loen Navy declared the operation had basically achieved its goals and could end.
Later, Alger deliberately requested to fight, showing himself to be both devout and passionate, and was praised by the archbishops.
Since he was familiar with the Rorstead Islands, he was without a doubt sent here to strengthen the naval forces of this important colony.
Of course, to avoid conflict with his past identity and to leave a clue for future matters, Alger and his crew arrived at Bayam under the guise of being hired pirates.
—During this war, many pirates were recruited, becoming effective supplements to the navies of various countries, like the mercenaries of the mid to early Fourth Epoch.
While there was still some light in the sky, Alger disembarked and headed straight to the Wave Church where the "Sea King" Yann Coltman was located.
As a Sequence 5 "Ocean Songster," he was already qualified to directly meet a cardinal of the Church of the Lord of Storms, a senior executor of the "Punishers."
As he walked, Alger suddenly saw an acquaintance.
It was a middle-aged man in a suit, wearing a tie and glasses, looking quite refined, but Alger knew he was a believer of the "Sea God" Kavitova, a former pirate, and now a trader straddling the line between legality and illegality.
"Ralph, long time no see." Alger greeted the man of mixed Loen, Feysac, and Rorstead descent.
Ralph was startled, seemingly unable to recognize Alger as the captain of the "Blue Avenger" for a moment.
"Alger? Our ghost ship captain?" After a few seconds, he asked in slight surprise.
Alger smiled slightly and said, "Have I changed that much?"
Ralph furrowed his brows slightly and responded: "Your temperament has changed a lot. You seem more like the sea and dark clouds before a storm."
Nice observation… But that's something I deliberately show. After taking the "Ocean Songster" potion, if there weren't such a change, it wouldn't seem fitting for a member of the Church of the Lord of Storms… Alger sighed and said: "Because there are too many things to worry about."
