In the room, hearing Bilt's sigh, Sotos pressed the edge of his eye socket and said in a deep voice: "Chief, that important person will arrive the day after tomorrow."
Bilt looked back with a serious expression: "I know."
"We have two choices: either, regardless of whether German Sparrow is trustworthy, entrust the task to him and hope for the best outcome, or immediately give up our assets in Ollavi, take the cash and jewelry, leave here, and become pirates on the ocean. I'm confident that most of the sailors and adventurers of the 'Pirate Hunter' will follow us." Sotos paused and added, "Chief, back when you were an adventurer, leading us, sailing the ship, and hunting pirates, you were so resolute and decisive. I think you've made your decision, and I don't need to say anymore."
"Haha, no need to flatter me." Bilt smiled bitterly. "I'm no longer the pirate hunter who was unafraid of blood and cannon fire. A long period of comfortable living has imperceptibly eroded my will. I don't even want to seek opportunities for advancement anymore. Those comrades who turned into monsters still seem to live in my memory."
Sigh... he exhaled, and his expression suddenly became serious: "But you're right, we don't have time to hesitate; we must make a decision immediately."
With that, Bilt turned his head and pointed his chin towards the window.
Sotos was initially stunned, but then understood what the chief meant.
...
After leaving the "Sweet Lemon" bar, Klein strolled along the street, planning to hire a carriage at the intersection.
Just then, he heard the window upstairs crash open and saw a figure fall down.
Perhaps due to having experienced terrifying events like the
It was like when he opened the door and saw
A similar thought flashed through his mind, and Klein saw clearly that the fallen figure was Sotos Young, not Bilt Brando.
Moreover, he was in a normal state and clearly alive.
Damn, trouble is coming... Klein's heart skipped a beat, and he made a more accurate judgment.
If he were himself, he would definitely pretend not to see Sotos Young jumping down to intercept him, and before the other could speak, turn around and leave, sprinting away until he lost him, like the "Star Admiral" being chased by knowledge.
Unfortunately, I am now German Sparrow, a crazy adventurer who can't run away from such a trivial matter... Sigh, I've gained a better understanding of myself, which is an extra gain... Klein stopped and watched as Sotos, dressed in a linen shirt and brown jacket, landed steadily, placed his hand on his chest, and bowed: "Mr. German Sparrow, we have a very important matter we want to entrust to you."
Here it comes... Klein replied calmly: "I'm not free lately."
"This won't take too much of your time. You can first listen to what exactly needs to be done, and then consider whether to refuse or accept." Sotos, who had black whiskers on his upper lip and chin, said sincerely.
I'm afraid that after listening, I'll have to accept... Well, actually, it's not so bad. If Bilt Brando and Sotos Young dare to threaten me and force me to take the task, I don't mind turning them into pounds and mystical materials... Klein thought seriously and found that in the sea, it seemed he didn't have to worry too much. The strength of a pirate general level could basically allow him to walk sideways in most places.
He took out the gold pocket watch from inside his clothes, clicked it open, and glanced at it: "I'll give you five minutes."
"Good, that's enough." Sotos pointed to the entrance of the "Sweet Lemon" bar behind Klein.
Back in the same room, Klein looked at the wall clock and said coldly: "Still three minutes and twelve seconds."
This attitude oddly calmed Bilt, and he began to believe that German Sparrow had the absolute ability to complete the task.
"Mr. German, I heard that you can transform into anyone, like the former 'Vice Admiral Hurricane' Zilingus." Bilt quickly asked.
Who leaked this matter? Klein's eyebrow twitched, and his gaze on Bilt instantly became deep.
If the news that German Sparrow can transform into anyone spreads, it would be a medium-sized problem for Klein. It would either make people think of 'Writhing Hunger' and the death of Zilingus, or lead mystics who hold certain secrets to suspect him of being a 'Faceless'. The former might attract the attention of the '
Of course, the Church of the Goddess of Night has little influence at sea, so Klein wasn't too worried, but he didn't want to conflict with the Night Watchers.
In that case, he would have to abandon the identity of German Sparrow, which was becoming increasingly well-known as a crazy, strong, and soft-hearted adventurer, at a critical point when he was gaining more recognition and feedback.
Feeling the change in German Sparrow's gaze, Bilt tensed up and laughed awkwardly: "This news came from the 'Black Death'."
He did not deliberately explain where his ability to change appearance came from, as it did not match German Sparrow's persona.
Bilt breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down for a few seconds, and said: "We are helping an important person find a substitute."
