Klein had already gained a basic understanding of Dhaniz's character, so he didn't take the initiative to ask about the legends. He continued sitting in his chair and calmly looked at him.
Without being interrupted, Dhaniz shook his head.
"Legend has it that three hundred years ago, when Rouen's army first occupied this island, more than five hundred soldiers mysteriously disappeared after a heavy fog. Not long after, many bones appeared by the sea and on the mountains. Similar incidents happened several times until the Church of the Storm built a cathedral here and sent a bishop."
Although historians attributed the official start of the colonial era to Rosell's fleet finding a safe sea route to the Southern Continent, in fact, the various countries in the Northern Continent had been exploring the surrounding seas for a long period of time before that. They had colonized a few islands, but these actions weren't on a large enough scale.
Mysteriously disappearing in the fog … Bones appearing by the sea and on the mountains … Klein suddenly thought of the Forsaken Land of the Gods. According to Little Sun's description, there was no Sun there, only lightning and night. And when humans were enveloped by the darkness without any light, they would encounter strange or terrifying events.
Danitz looked at the lighthouse that was exceptionally eye-catching in the setting sun and continued, "That's right.
"And according to the tombs and murals excavated on the island, the natives here seem to have a tradition of cannibalism.
"This island is situated in a region with intense climate changes. It often encounters earthquakes, storms, and fog, bringing disasters to the natives time and time again. In order to survive, they began to worship the God of Weather that they created. Every year, they hold four rituals. Heh, the ritual's content is to kill a chosen Blessed, share his blood and flesh, and bury his head in an altar.
"However, such traditions have long been replaced by the Storm rituals. The original language of the natives has also disappeared."
God of Weather … A conquered island that once retained the tradition of living sacrifices … Klein made a preliminary judgment.
Dhaniz retracted his gaze and casually said, "It's precisely because of these legends that Bansy Harbor has two unique customs.
"It's precisely because of these legends that Bansy Harbor has two unique customs. One is that on nights with heavy fog and drastic weather changes, the door is tightly shut. Do not go out and do not respond to knocking sounds.
"The other reason is that they are fond of the blood of all kinds of animals. They learned to add salt to it from the migrating elves, so that the blood would coagulate into strange lumps. Together with the local spicy spices, it would be tender and fragrant."
Wasn't this the blood curd? Klein was stunned for a second. His puzzlement turned into a frown.
"Elves?"
According to the stereotype formed in his previous life, elves should be elegant vegetarians. Why would they study the correct way to consume blood and the hundred ways to make blood curd?
"Yes, rumor has it that many elves like coagulated blood." Dhaniz threw up his hands and replied, "Unfortunately, it's very difficult to encounter such creatures that are good at cooking."
… Little Sun once mentioned that the ancient god, Elf King Soniathrym, wields the authority of the Lord of Storms. Then, the elves should be similar to Beyonders of the Sailor pathway … Hmm, from the looks of it, it's not incomprehensible for elves to like blood food … Perhaps they even have the trait of being irascible … This scene is quite beautiful … Klein's thoughts raced as he gradually turned his attention to the blood curd.
I haven't eaten it in a long time … He had the thought of disembarking the ship to try some delicacies.
At this moment, Dhaniz took the initiative to suggest, "There's a famous green lemon restaurant here.
"There's a famous Green Lemon Restaurant here. The pig's blood is especially delicious. Do you want to try it?"
He had a nagging feeling that it was very dangerous to be alone in a room with German Sparrow. He was worried that this monster in human skin would suddenly go crazy.
He should be more restrained in places with many people … Holy Lord of Storms, may this journey end soon! Dhaniz prayed without much confidence.
As a pirate, he also believed in the Lord of Storms, but he lacked sufficient respect for the Church.
Upon hearing Blazing's suggestion, Klein, who was already interested, felt his heart palpitate.
However, the legends and customs that Blazing mentioned made him feel a little uncomfortable. Therefore, he took out a gold coin and did a divination in front of Dhaniz.
The result was that there was no hidden danger in Bansy Harbor for him.
Hmm … Klein looked at the gold coin in his palm and didn't move his eyes away for a few seconds, still feeling uneasy.
When Dhaniz saw this scene, he suddenly realized that the monster in front of him was good at divination.
This … Even if I sneak away, I'll be easily found … Blazing felt depressed as a faint sense of sorrow welled up in his heart.
Just as he composed himself, Klein suddenly stood up and walked to the washroom.
Before closing the door, Klein turned his head with a deadpan expression.
"You can take this opportunity to escape."
With that said, Klein slammed the washroom door.
Dhaniz opened and clenched his fists, took two steps towards the door, and finally stopped.
The unknown was the most terrifying. Before figuring out what other Beyonder powers the German Sparrow had, he didn't dare to take the risk of intensifying the conflict.
At least, at least he's kind and didn't hurt me physically … When I reach Bayam, he'll probably let me go … The thought of being lucky occupied Dhaniz's mind.
In the washroom.
Klein took out a paper figurine, disguised himself, and took four steps counterclockwise to go above the gray fog.
He sat at the end of the long bronze table, took off the spirit pendulum on his left wrist, and wrote the corresponding divination statement:
"There are hidden dangers in Bansy Harbor."
He lowered his spirit pendulum and got into a good posture. After chanting a few times, he opened his eyes and saw that the topaz pendant was spinning clockwise. Furthermore, it was doing so at an extremely fast speed!
This meant that there was a great danger lurking in Bansy Harbor for him!
How could this be? This place has been colonized by the kingdom for more than three hundred years, and it has been an important port on the main trade route for more than a hundred years. There have never been any rumors of danger … Could it be that a few powerful pirates are working together to plunder this port? No, those coastal defense cannons aren't just for show … Klein frowned in puzzlement. He divined again if he would encounter any disasters related to pirates in the near future. The answer was no.
Hmm … He fell silent for a few seconds, enveloped himself with spirituality, and fell into the gray fog.
After returning to the real World, Klein pressed the mechanical button on the toilet, put away the paper figurine, and went to the washstand beside him. He wet his hands with water.
In this short period of time, he quickly sorted out his thoughts and decided to hide if he could. It was best to be safe.
After wiping his hands with a tissue, Klein opened the door and saw Dhaniz still standing in the middle of the living room.
A pirate who's cautious to the point of being a little cowardly … In a sense, Vice Admiral Iceberg's subordinates are adventurers who moonlight as pirates … Klein looked at him and calmly said,
"To the first-class dining room."
"… Alright." Dhaniz didn't understand why German Sparrow had suddenly changed his mind, but in the end, he chose not to argue.
…
Along the gangway and down the ship, Cleves suddenly said to Donna and the others,
"Go to the Green Lemon Restaurant first.
"I have some matters to discuss with Captain Erland. I'll catch up soon."
"Alright." Although Urdi Branch was surprised, he wasn't too puzzled.
Cleves boarded the ship again and met Erland, who had a sword by his waist.
"I'm going to visit German Sparrow." With that said, Cleves turned and headed for the first-class area.
Erland was at a loss, not understanding the other party's intentions for suddenly coming over.
There's no need to inform me that I'm visiting German Sparrow … Erland was stunned for two seconds as he vaguely grasped Cleves' true intentions.
He's telling me that if … if something happens to him, it must be because he's visiting German Sparrow … But if he's fine, it means that his suspicions are wrong and there's no need to disturb German Sparrow anymore … Erland stopped and said to the first mate beside him, "Wait fifteen minutes."
"Wait a quarter of an hour."
Knock! Knock!
Dong dong dong!
Knock! Knock! Klein and Dhaniz, who were about to leave, heard a rhythmic knock on the door.
Dhaniz, who received a look, quickly walked over and opened the door.
It was Cleves outside. He stared at Dhaniz, who had disguised himself again, and turned to Klein.
"Blazing Dhaniz?"
During lunch, he felt that the German Sparrow's friend was a little strange and familiar, but he didn't associate him with the photo on a certain bounty poster. When Donna deliberately mentioned Dhaniz, he suddenly had an inspiration and realized that the two were very similar.
As expected … Klein was about to nod in reply when Dhaniz beat him to it with a smile.
"Friend, you've got the wrong person. Although I look very much like the famous pirate worth 3,000 pounds, I'm not him. There have always been people who misunderstand me, and it has brought me great trouble."
Klein raised his hand and covered his mouth. He almost laughed out loud and ruined his image.
He restrained his expression and calmly replied,
"Yes."
Sigh … My reputation … Dhaniz craned his neck and looked up at the ceiling.
"What do you want to do?" Cleves inhaled silently and asked directly.
Klein moved his chin slightly and pointed at Dhaniz.
"Watch him."
"Guard?" Cleves couldn't understand German Sparrow's words.
Sir, you have to learn to associate and deduce for yourself. You can't ask me to explain in detail. That doesn't fit my character! Faced with Cleves' puzzled eyes, Klein said casually,
"He came on board at Damir. I recognized him and decided to guard him as a precaution."
After looking at Klein for a few seconds, Cleves nodded.
"No problem, right?
"Do you need help?"
"No need," Klein replied calmly.
Cleves glanced at the depressed Dhaniz and took a step back.
"Then I'll take my leave."
Just as he was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by German Sparrow.
"Return to the ship as soon as possible.
"There are hidden dangers in Bansy Harbor."
…
In the Green Lemon Restaurant, Donna had just laid out her napkin when she saw Uncle Cleves rushing downstairs through the window.
At this moment, the weather at the harbor suddenly changed. Strong winds blew, causing the trees to sway.
As expected of the Weather Museum, Bansy Harbor … Donna examined the scenery outside with great interest.
She saw a man in a black cloak carrying a lantern as he trudged forward in the wind.
As if sensing that he was being watched, the man turned his body, raised his head, and looked at the second floor of the restaurant.
Donna then saw the man's appearance clearly. She saw that the head of the man in the black cloak was empty, leaving only a bare neck that was gushing with bright red blood.
The man buried his body again, pulled his cloak, and continued forward.
