Phew! Gasp!
The loud panting slowly and rhythmically entered Klein's ears, sending a chill down his spine. He felt an inexplicable sense of horror, but he didn't have any premonition of danger.
It wasn't only him. Admiral of Stars Cattleya, Poison Expert Frank Lee, and all the other pirates heard the panting. They either turned their heads, looked out, picked up their weapons, or were on high alert, clearly showing their rich experience.
After a little analysis, Klein discovered that the violent panting originated from the ruins in front of him. It came from the pile of rocks and stone pillars above the sea.
At this moment, Bloodless Heath Doyle appeared from the shadows. He held his head with both hands and grunted in pain.
"There's a corpse …
"There's a corpse there!"
Corpse? A corpse that's panting heavily? As Klein's thoughts raced, he subconsciously took off his heavy glasses and looked at the ruins. Cattleya's expression suddenly turned solemn as she turned to the pirates in the mess hall.
"Quick!
"Speed up and circle around it. Don't approach it!"
Her voice had a magnetic quality to it, jolting everyone awake. The sailors immediately ran out of the mess hall and headed for the area that required help. Under Navigator Ottolov and Boatswain Nina's instructions, they adjusted the sails and changed their course, crossing the ruins from a distance.
Only when the pile of rocks and stone pillars vanished into the horizon did Bloodless Heath Doyle lower his hands, his expression no longer in pain.
Upon seeing this scene, Klein narrowed his eyes. He felt that this Rose Bishop, the second mate of the Future, might be a huge latent danger for this voyage.
This wasn't because he was discriminating against Beyonders of the Secrets Suppliant pathway, but because he had made a judgment based on Admiral of Stars's description and Heath Doyle's performance.
Just now, everyone had heard the loud panting, but only Heath Doyle was in pain. He instinctively believed that there was a corpse buried in the ruins, and Cattleya's performance after the investigation had indirectly proved his words.
In other words, even if Heath Doyle didn't actively listen to the True Creator's voice, with his Listener Beyonder powers, he would still be able to hear more than ordinary people and most Low- and Mid-Sequence Beyonders in a normal environment. When he encountered the panting sound just now, when the source of the sound was close enough, he would be more affected and receive more information about the danger.
Here, avoiding such ruins and ruins didn't mean that the corresponding problems could be resolved. This was because, according to Cattleya, these waters were filled with sounds that could make even demigods lose control. If there came a day when Heath Doyle's condition wasn't good, he might hear the "fatal whispers."
In a similar aspect, even if a Sequence 6 Rose Bishop is inferior to a demigod who isn't good at listening, it wouldn't be too great. To explain it in terms of the Die of Probability, all I need to do is throw a 2, not a 1, for Heath Doyle to go crazy or lose control from the sounds he shouldn't hear … I have to warn Ma 'am Hermit, although she should've long thought of it and made the corresponding preparations … Klein retracted his gaze and heard his stomach growl inconspicuously.
He had not had time for breakfast.
At this moment, light beer was spilled all over the floor, cream was trampled everywhere, fried fish, toast, white bread, and other food were either lying or hanging, all of which had become rather dirty.
I should be able to eat it if I remove the outer layer … Klein looked at a loaf of bread leaning against the table leg and hesitated whether he should take action.
This was in conflict with German Sparrow's men!
When he decided to wait for lunch, Admiral of Stars Cattleya instructed the chef.
"Prepare breakfast for the rest of the people.
"Give these to Frank. Perhaps, perhaps he can use them."
Raising a "monster"? Klein cursed in his heart.
After a while, he had a less sumptuous breakfast: a smoked pork sausage with two slices of toast that were crispy, and a glass of light beer that had not been added as water.
As they were cruising in extremely dangerous waters, with unforeseen events happening at any moment, Klein used the dining hall style of his university days to finish his breakfast in just a minute or two.
After leaving the pirate's dining hall, he came to the deck, taking a stroll after his meal and observing his surroundings.
At this moment, the sea was still being illuminated by the midday sun, faintly dyed with a layer of gold.
Klein stopped and looked into the distance for a moment as he saw a point of light grow bigger in front of him.
Under the sunlight's illumination, the point of light refracted a radiant, dreamy, and multi-colored luster. It was like a gigantic, transparent gem.
As the Future continued cruising forward, the dot of light gradually revealed its true form.
It first split apart before becoming clear. It was four gigantic pillars carved from pure diamond.
They were like the gigantic towers that propped up the sea in myths and legends. They extended downwards and stood stably, holding up a sizable floating island.
On the floating island, the soil was charred black without any hint of green. In its depths, the light was abnormally bright, brighter than the midday sky.
Suddenly, a long hiss came from there.
The sound was loud and wanton, but it didn't have the sense of danger that made one's hair stand on end.
Before long, Klein heard the sound of galloping horses. He saw two steeds that looked like they were made of gold rush out of the floating island. Behind them was a gorgeous golden war chariot.
At this moment, Admiral of Stars Cattleya's voice was amplified as it hurriedly echoed in every corner of the Future.
"Lower your head!
"Don't look!"
Klein was never one to put on a brave front. He subconsciously lowered his head and looked at his leather boots.
He noticed that the sunlight that illuminated the deck was getting brighter before it dimmed and quickly returned to its original state.
"There's no problem." Cattleya's voice resounded on the ship once again without any obvious emotional fluctuations.
Only then did Klein look up and discover that the two steeds and the gorgeous war chariot that they were pulling had vanished. The gigantic diamond pillar silently supported the floating island as it swirled with resplendent light.
What a huge diamond … What a strange floating island. If I hadn't lowered my head and watched the golden war chariot rush out, what would have happened? Klein looked around as he suddenly frowned.
A pirate that was about seven to eight meters away from him had already vanished. Where he originally stood were two pitch-black footprints that oozed oil.
Looking at the ashes that scattered in midair, Klein vaguely knew the outcome of not lowering his head.
Thankfully, Admiral of Stars had been here a few times in the past. She knew which areas to avoid and which to lower her head. If I had hired Mr. The Hanging Man, even if he was piloting a ghost ship, I would've long been wiped out … No, if the Future hadn't arrived at its destination ahead of time, leaving me with no buffer time, I would've long sought Snake of Fate Will Auceptin's help. Magicians don't perform unprepared … Besides, if I had hired Mr. The Hanging Man, I would've definitely sought the corresponding information from Ma 'am Hermit on the Tarot … Klein first sighed before he regained his composure.
He didn't suggest heading to the floating island to take a look or explore it. He allowed the Future to pass by from the side as it sailed forward.
In the following period of time, the sea resembled the outside world. All that was left was the undulating surface of the water. It was empty, silent, and boundless.
Klein would occasionally see bonfires floating on the surface of the sea, but he didn't find any traces of marine life, including mermaids.
Time ticked by as lunch was quickly prepared.
Just as Klein was about to leave the deck and head for the dining hall, he suddenly felt his surroundings darken!
The sky, which had always been in a state of noon, had lost its sunlight and was completely shrouded in darkness.
This change was so fast and sudden that Klein's first reaction was that someone had turned off the lights!
Silently, the Future was covered in a layer of resplendent starlight, illuminating the paths that led everywhere.
Cattleya's magnetic voice was amplified once again as it resounded in everyone's ears.
"Go back to your room or find a corner and fall asleep.
"Then wait for them to wake up naturally."
The Poison Expert, Frank Lee, asked loudly in puzzlement.
"What happens if I don't sleep?"
At this moment, his voice rumbled like a giant bear talking.
Cattleya stood behind the window of the captain's cabin.
"When we wake up, we'll find that you've disappeared, and we'll never find you again."
The nights here are so scary? Klein was curious, but he had no intention of trying to stay awake.
He returned to his room and, using the starlight from the Future that hadn't been extinguished, unfolded the paper crane, took out a pencil, and quickly wrote:
"What matters need to be taken note of when heading to the dangerous sea zone in the easternmost part of the Sonia Sea?
"Where can I find mermaids there?"
Putting down the pencil and folding the paper crane, Klein didn't take off his coat and lay in bed. With the help of Cogitation, he quickly fell asleep.
In the hazy World, he instantly jolted awake as he clearly realized that he was dreaming.
I wasn't invaded by anyone … Klein surveyed his surroundings and realized that he was at the top of a mountain. Behind him and to his left and right were black buildings that resembled monasteries. In front of him was a withered tree and a protruding boulder.
At the top of the boulder, Admiral of Stars Cattleya sat alone. She hugged her knees and leaned forward as she stared at the mountain opposite her.
She was still wearing the classic black robe that exuded a mysterious vibe. Her expression was indescribably lost.
At that moment, she didn't move at all as though she had turned into a stone statue.
Why is she in my dream? Klein took a few steps forward and leaped onto the boulder.
Before he could ask, he was suddenly stunned by the scene in front of him. He felt as though his body and mind had been shaken.
In front of the boulder was a bottomless cliff, and across the cliff was a mountain covered in countless palaces, towers, and majestic city walls.
The buildings were magnificent and gorgeous as they were stacked on top of each other. Individually, they were abnormally huge, unlike places where humans lived. When combined together, it gave off an indescribable sense of history, wonder, and myth.
The Sun hung far away, scattering the colors of dusk onto the city as the light seemed to freeze.
"This is a dream shared by all of us …" Cattleya continued hugging her knees as she spoke as though she was in a dream.
