As Klein bowed, Cattleya, whose black hair was simply draped over her shoulders, converged her purple eyes, as though they had turned into an abyss that could suck in souls. The mysterious aura that she had to begin with became even more obvious.
She saw that deep in German Sparrow's Ether Body, the Astral Projection's surface was a lightless, pure darkness. In the fine spots, there were dark currents surging with infinite changes.
She saw that German Sparrow's left hand was bright, but it was dyed with a rich blood color.
She saw that German Sparrow's cuff had an azure-blue luster, and in his left pocket, there was silvery-white flowing. The colors were bright, as though they were connected to the illusory spirit world. Around them, there were many objects that resembled tides and illusory winds.
She saw that green and black light intersected in German Sparrow's right pocket. Under his armpit, there were two points of gold, silver, and bronze. His chest was grayish-white, as though it was rotting death.
Four mystical items, Beyonder artifacts or spirituality charms in units of ten … Cattleya's eyes were a little dazzled as she couldn't help but close them for a moment.
She nodded.
"Good evening, Mr. Sparrow."
Even though he was a powerhouse who had been famous at sea for many years, a veteran and outstanding figure among the seven pirate admirals, she rarely met a person who could arm himself to the teeth with Beyonder items.
Of course, it wasn't as though she had never seen or possessed more mystical items, Beyonder artifacts, and spirituality charms. However, they had secret organizations backing them, with several ships and more than a thousand pirates under them. Many of the items had to be handed over, distributed, or sold to maintain and strengthen their factions. There weren't many items that could be left in their hands.
This "not many" was relative. It was almost comparable to what German Sparrow had now, but through various exchanges, Cattleya had reduced them to two — two items that were sufficiently powerful and mystical, matching the identity of a pirate admiral.
Apart from the luster that represented different items, Cattleya's black eyes that were tinged with dark purple could vaguely tell that German Sparrow wasn't real enough, as though he was hidden in a thick curtain of shadows.
Th-this is the reason why he gave me the feeling that he wasn't a living person on the Tarot? His secret isn't small. At the very least, it involves a Sequence 3 saint, or even a higher-level angel … Cattleya didn't dare to take another look. Her eyes weren't as deep as before.
At the same time, she gave a self-deprecating laugh. She found some of her guesses regarding The World and German Sparrow comical.
"Involving a Sequence 3 saint, or even an angel of a higher level. Heh heh, there's no problem with that because he's like me, a member of the Tarot Club. It definitely involves Mr. Fool, who's suspected to have awakened an ancient god."
After exchanging greetings, Cattleya didn't make any small talk. She led him to the cabin's entrance.
At this moment, the stopped Future set sail once again, drawing a long arc on the surface of the sea as it followed the whaling route east. The tense atmosphere in the Nas Port dissipated as a result.
Gazes from the sailors were cast over, but Klein didn't feel uneasy at all. Instead, he surveyed the area and said in a relaxed tone as though he was returning home,
"There are fewer people than I imagined."
Cattleya turned her head to glance at him and simply replied, "It's extremely dangerous to head east of the whaling route.
"It's extremely dangerous to head east of the whaling route. Only Ludwell frequently heads there, as though he's searching for something.
"Apart from the Future, the other pirate ships won't head there. Similarly, I've placed most of the sailors on other ships. There's only the minimum number of sailors left to ensure the voyage."
A very rational move … Ludwell, that Admiral Hell Ludwell? When Mr. The Hanging Man first mentioned him, it was said that he had begun his voyage to explore the eastern end of the Sonia Sea … Klein nodded slightly and didn't speak further.
This was a bearing that belonged to German Sparrow.
He observed his surroundings in silence and discovered that the deck, walls, and masts of the Future were covered in mysterious and abstract symbols. The entire structure seemed to overlap into a gigantic ritualistic magic.
Just like the Golden Dream, it's a sailboat of the mystical type, but it's not at the level of a ghost ship … Compared to Admiral of Stars and Vice Admiral Iceberg, Tracy, who has only been a pirate admiral for a few months, is clearly weaker. There's nothing special about the Black Death … Klein retracted his gaze and followed Cattleya to the cabin's entrance.
Waiting there was a man in suspenders and a white shirt. He was in his thirties and had a muscular build. His hair was so thick that his exposed forearms seemed to be covered in a brown sweater.
He wore a round-brimmed hat with a dent in the middle. He revealed a hearty smile and extended his right hand.
"The Future's first mate, Frank Lee.
"Good evening, Mr. Sparrow."
Frank Lee, Poison Expert with a bounty of 7,000 pounds … Klein instantly recognized him.
Considering how German Sparrow didn't have the habit of shaking hands, he bent his back slightly.
"Good evening."
Frank Lee retracted his right hand and glanced at Cattleya. His smile didn't diminish.
His smile didn't diminish as he said, "You seem to know me? That's right. I once took a photo that appeared on my wanted poster.
"Don't mind what Poison Expert. I'm a very friendly person, as long as I don't face those darn fellows! My greatest hobby is to study soil, crops, and hybridization techniques. Believe me, this is the future of humanity. "
"But the people from the Church of Earth Mother don't believe it." Cattleya introduced him to Klein in an extremely secretive manner.
He's originally someone from Earth Mother? The hybridization technology is quite good. Only by increasing production can we feed more humans and increase the poverty threshold … Klein looked at Frank Lee and said calmly, half politely and half sincerely, "You're right, Frank Lee.
"That's a good thing."
"… You are indeed an adventurer who doesn't care about the views of the secular world! Excellent, excellent! There are too few people like you in this World! " Frank Lee's blue eyes revealed a clear look of pleasant surprise. "I only attempted to hybridize bulls, cows, and wheat, allowing calves to grow like wheat, but I was nearly sent to court by the Church of Earth Mother. Merciful Mother, they don't truly understand your will!"
Hybridizing bulls, cows, and wheat … You devil … Only then did Klein realize that the hybridization techniques he understood were completely different from what Frank Lee was saying.
He maintained his expression and didn't give any explanation. Under Frank Lee's sudden surge in enthusiasm, he walked down the corridor with Admiral of Stars Cattleya.
After stepping onto the staircase and arriving at a higher level, Klein's spiritual perception stirred as he cast his gaze towards the shadows to his side.
The darkness distorted as a figure grew out. It was a thin but pale figure.
The skin on his cheeks was nearly transparent, and his nose bridge was incongruously high. He had a sickly look to him.
"This is the second mate of our Future, Heath Doyle," Frank Lee introduced with a smile.
Bloodless Heath, whose bounty is higher than yours, reaching 7,600 pounds? Klein quickly matched it with the correct bounty.
Heath nodded as a form of greeting before silently shrinking back into the shadows.
"He's a Rose Bishop." On the way to the captain's room, Frank Lee enthusiastically talked about Heath Doyle's matter.
He directly told me his second mate's Sequence? Klein nearly pricked up his brows.
He secretly glanced at Admiral of Stars Cattleya and discovered that she looked a little helpless.
"Are you very curious and worried? Are you afraid that he's a devout believer of the True Creator, a corrupted lunatic? No, haha, he's a lucky fellow. Due to an accident, he was sprayed with a potion concocted from a Rose Bishop's Beyonder ingredients despite being an ordinary person. It slowly seeped into him, and he managed to survive, eventually becoming a rather special Beyonder. As he didn't experience the Listener stage, he wasn't corrupted and didn't become a lunatic. As long as he doesn't proactively use Beyonder powers like Listen, he will always be an ordinary person, "Frank Lee said in a flaunting manner.
What an enviable fellow. He instantly reached Sequence 6, and he didn't lose his mind like Sea Serpent Cavituis … Klein sighed inwardly as he watched Admiral of Stars open the door to the captain's cabin.
Cattleya pointed inside and said, "Your room is diagonally opposite.
"Your room is diagonally opposite. Frank will bring you there. If there's anything you need, you can come here to find me.
"You can have your meals at the dining hall. You can also get Frank to send someone to deliver food to your room at any time. It mainly depends on the method you prefer."
Admiral of Stars handles matters very efficiently. Yes, a mature and intelligent lady … Klein praised inwardly as he replied without a change in expression, "You can have your meals at the dining hall at any time.
"Alright."
Seizing this opportunity, he took a look at the layout of the captain's cabin and found that there were bookshelves, full-length mirrors, tables, and carpets.
He actually knows how to read. Isn't he unable to digest the knowledge instilled by the Hidden Sage … Klein thought in amusement.
At this moment, Frank Lee, who saw that both parties had finished their conversation, enthusiastically promoted his product.
"Mr. Sparrow, would you like a baked potato tonight?
"It tastes like beef, it tastes like beef, but it really is a potato."
Will I get sick if I eat it … Klein replied coldly,
"I don't eat supper."
"Fine." Frank Lee shrugged and was about to lead Klein to his room.
At this moment, Cattleya thought for a moment and said, "That's right.
"Mr. Sparrow, you must have hunted many enemies and obtained many spoils of war.
"I wonder how many Beyonder characteristics you have left? Maybe we can use them to offset the rest of the fare. "
Klein pondered for a moment before answering frankly, "That's right.
"Most of them have been sold.
"There's still Interrogator, Pugilist, and Madman left."
He didn't mention the All-Black Eye, nor did he mention the Nightmare Beyonder characteristic.
As expected of the most famous adventurer in recent months … Even after selling most of them, there are still three Beyonder characteristics left … Cattleya sighed inwardly as she pondered.
"I want Pugilist."
She had a Warrior subordinate from the Gargas Archipelago who had long accumulated enough contributions to apply for an advancement.
