Seeing that the Golden Dream's crew was about to focus fire on Anderson, Klein took a step forward and said to Dhaniz, "Take me to the captain's cabin."
"Take me to the captain's cabin."
"… Okay." Dhaniz retracted his furious glare at Anderson Hood.
It's most important to save Captain first. It's most important to save Captain first … He constantly reminded himself.
A small boat was lowered from the Golden Dream before a gangway was lowered. This allowed Klein to easily step onto the deck without the need to use a charm.
Anderson followed behind him, completely ignoring the greedy gazes of the Golden Dream's crew. He strolled around with a smile, looking around as though he was returning to his own home.
His mental fortitude is definitely top-notch … Yes, even if he offended a demigod and was forced to apologize in public, he can still turn around and laugh at himself while having his meal happily after accepting a mission … Klein sighed inwardly as he walked towards Third Mate Jodeson and company.
"Hello, Mr. Sparrow. I'm this ship's first mate, Bru Walls." A 1.8-meter-tall man wearing a monocle politely bowed.
A Gourmet with a bounty of 6,200 pounds … Vice Admiral Iceberg's bounty is clearly lower than Admiral of Stars'. As expected of treasure hunters who moonlight as pirates … Klein used the polite manner and words unique to German Sparrow.
"Hello, I've heard of you."
"… Haha, it's my honor. I'm just a treasure hunter who dreams of becoming an artisan, but I have no choice but to take the path of a gourmet." Bru Walls made a self-deprecating remark as he pointed to a man beside him. "Our second mate, Singer Orpheus."
Bounty of 5,500 pounds … The Beyonders on the Golden Dream all have strange nicknames. If I didn't know that they were subordinates of a pirate admiral, I would've definitely thought that they were a maritime tourist group, singing, eating delicacies, holding bonfire parties, and searching for legendary treasures. It's just too wonderful … Klein cast his gaze at Orpheus and nodded casually.
This "singer" had a deep contour like a stone sculpture and a head of resplendent blonde hair. At that moment, he had a melancholic smile.
With a melancholic smile, he said, "In fact, I was only praising the Sun. And now, my Sun is gone."
"…" Klein nearly had goosebumps.
"Tsk, as expected of someone with Intis. He speaks like he's singing. Unfortunately, I grew up in Segar, in Lenburg. I didn't learn such an ability," Anderson said with a laugh, unsure if he was praising or disparaging him. After all, he was half Intis.
He was born in Segar and later went to Lenburg to study. Yes, it should be a church school. He was a classmate of Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina … Mr. Orpheus can confirm that he's from the Sun pathway, but there's a high chance that he's not from the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun. From his bounty, he's likely a Sequence 6 Notary … I almost forgot to inform Little Sun that he already has the formula. I wonder what he can use to exchange for it … Before Gourmet Bru Walls could introduce him, Klein turned his head to Flowery Bow Tie Jodeson, Bucket Daniels, and company.
"We've met.
"Let's not waste any more time."
"Alright." Bru Walls heaved a sigh of relief. He stroked his short beard and led the way to the cabin.
If it wasn't for the fact that German Sparrow's crazy reputation was resounding on the ship, he wouldn't have acted so politely.
At this moment, Anderson deliberately lagged a few steps behind, walking alongside Dhaniz, Orpheus, and company.
He looked to his left and right, ignoring the gazes of Danitz and company that looked like they wanted to tear him apart and swallow him whole. He chuckled.
He chuckled and said, "The one you should be wary of isn't me."
"That's right. We aren't wary of you. All we want to do is stuff you in. See? In that cannon barrel! " Dhaniz wasn't afraid that the other party was the Strongest Hunter. After all, this was the Golden Dream. There were quite a number of pirates, and there was no lack of Sequence 7 or 6 Beyonders.
The corners of Anderson's mouth curled up.
"A person like me is actually not a threat. Think about it, your captain must hate me, hate me, and won't even speak to me. Isn't that the ideal situation?"
"…" Dhaniz opened his mouth but didn't say anything because he suddenly felt that what that piece of sh * t said seemed to make sense.
The way Orpheus, Jodeson, and the others looked at Anderson subconsciously softened.
Anderson snorted and looked ahead. His tone was slightly erratic as he said, "That's right.
"The one you should be wary of is actually the German Sparrow."
"Why?" Dhaniz blurted out.
Although he's a lunatic and I do need to be wary of him, he's not an enemy right now … Dhaniz added silently in his heart.
Anderson smiled.
"I'm assuming — assuming — that if Gehrman succeeds in finding your captain and rescuing her, would your captain have a good impression of him because of this? Besides, he looks pretty good. He has a cold beauty, and he's strong. He's at the level of a pirate admiral, and his background is especially mysterious. He's a good match … "
How … is that possible … Dhaniz wanted to retort, but he couldn't bring himself to say a word. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss.
Orpheus and company's expressions crumbled bit by bit as they looked at the German Sparrow's back with a baffling sense of wariness and wariness.
Resolved! The provocation from before has been resolved … Anderson held back a smile as he walked into the cabin.
When he arrived at the captain's cabin, the first thing Klein saw was a bookshelf that surrounded him. It was filled with all sorts of books.
Typical captain's cabins are filled with wine cabinets … he muttered silently as he walked straight to the desk in front of the window.
According to Dhaniz's description, Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina had vanished during her research. Therefore, searching for traces of her research was Klein's goal. Once he gathered enough information, he could once again head above the gray fog for a divination.
At that moment, there were many items scattered messily on the desk. There was white paper, a fountain pen with a round belly, an ink bottle with a protruding belly, a copper knife, and some books that weren't neatly stacked.
And in the middle of the desk was a book bound in goatskin. Its dark brown surface had the words "Ge Rosell's Travels" written in ancient Feysac.
Isn't this Vice Admiral Iceberg's collection? Its origins are mysterious, and it's suspected to be related to dragons and the City of Miracles, Liveseyd … Edwina was researching this before she vanished? Klein looked at the book and instinctively made a guess.
Seeing German Sparrow size up the ancient book, Dhaniz forced a smile and said, "There's nothing wrong with it.
"There's nothing wrong with it. We've checked it."
Is that so? I'm doubtful of your meticulousness … This is because someone has already flipped through it, and there's clearly nothing abnormal about it. After using his spiritual intuition to confirm that Dhaniz wasn't lying, Klein reached out his hand and casually asked,
"Have any of you read this book, Ge Rosell's Travels?"
Dhaniz shook his head. Blue Walls, Orpheus, Jodeson, and company shook their heads as well.
Their expressions seemed to be saying that studying every day was tiring enough. They didn't want to read any more books during their break!
His fingertips slid across the yellowish-brown goatskin as Klein carefully and seriously flipped through the pages.
Soon, he flipped to a spot where the sticky pages couldn't be opened. He swept the contents through the corner of his eye.
"Eh … That's not right!" Suddenly, his pupils constricted as he hurriedly flipped two more pages.
He remembered very clearly that he had only seen the giant Rosell and his team about to challenge the King of the North, the frost dragon. There was nothing else after that. Now, there were two more pages!
This also meant that the sticky pages had thinned, and the book had two more pages open!
After a thousand-year hiatus, it's being continued again? This is the result of Vice Admiral Iceberg's research? This also resulted in her disappearance? As Klein lampooned, he frowned slightly as he read the additional content compared to the previous time.
The two pages mainly described a lost female pirate. She encountered the King of the North in a blizzard and was nearly killed. She used all her strength to successfully escape and encountered the main character's team that had come to challenge the frost dragon.
There's an additional female pirate … Female pirate … Klein ruminated over this title as an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
Could this be Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina?
She entered the book and became a character in the story?
With this thought in mind, Klein quickly found a few problems.
Arrodes mentioned that many of the previous owners of Rosell's Travels had gone missing …
In Rosell's Travels, there were giants and elves who were active in the Dark Epoch, which was also the Second Epoch. There were also ascetics from the Third and Fourth Epoch, nobles from the Solomon Empire, and Rouen soldiers from the Fifth Epoch. The times were extremely chaotic!
If they are the previous owners of Rosell's Travels who have gone missing, the problem can be explained … They don't belong to the same era, but they have been devoured by the book, becoming a member of the story! The more Klein thought about it, the more he found his theory ridiculous, but in fact, it contained a very high possibility.
In the mysticism World, this isn't impossible!
I have to confirm it … Besides, what did Edwina and the previous owners do to be "devoured" by the book … And what should I do to release them … Klein retracted his gaze and thought for a few seconds.
He quickly looked up and glanced at Dhaniz and company.
"Prepare candles and other items for me. I want to pray to a secret existence for an answer."
That secret existence is me … Klein immediately gave a self-deprecating remark.
As expected of a professional, as expected of a lunatic … Gourmet Bru Walls and company didn't dare to speak further. They hurriedly provided the items and left the captain's cabin.
They didn't dare watch such a dangerous ritual unless German Sparrow requested it.
In the captain's cabin, Klein locked the door and closed the windows. He quickly set up a ritual and brought Rosell's Travels above the gray fog.
After placing the ancient book at the end of the long bronze table, he sat down and conjured a pen and paper. He scribbled a divination statement:
"Edwina is in this book's story."
