Dhaniz held the copper knife and made a few strokes on the back of his left hand, hesitating to exert force.
He looked up and squeezed out a smile.
"Although I've been injured many times, pain still leaves me fearful."
"Get to the point," Klein replied coldly.
Dhaniz laughed dryly.
"Haha, I'm just a little afraid of pain."
Just as he said that, he exerted force in his right hand and used the copper knife to cut a wound on the back of his hand. His words seemed to be to divert his attention and relieve his emotions.
Blood rapidly seeped out as Dhaniz hurriedly put down the knife. He used his right hand to dip his finger in the blood and smeared it on the dark brown cover of Rosell's Travels.
After completing this step, he held his breath and waited for the changes.
Suddenly, snowflakes the size of goose feathers appeared in front of him. He heard howling winds, and right on the heels of that, a bone-chilling cold drilled into his body.
Although Dhaniz was already mentally prepared, he was still alarmed. He instinctively looked around to determine his location.
He realized that he had left the Golden Dream's captain's cabin at some point in time. He was in a land of frost that was enveloped by a snowstorm. As the environment was extremely harsh, he couldn't see far into the distance. He couldn't even determine if he was on a mountain or a plain.
I've really entered a strange World … Captain is here too? Dhaniz raised his hand to cover his face, afraid that the snow would blind his eyes.
He calmed his emotions and recalled German Sparrow's instructions. He hurriedly took out the square piece of paper from his pocket and carefully unfolded it.
During this process, he was especially afraid that an accident would happen, causing the piece of paper to shatter or be blown away. That would make him lose all hope. Thankfully, none of that happened. He saw the content written by German Sparrow:
"In Hermes, preferably ancient Hermes, recite the following honorific name:
"The Fool that doesn't belong to this era;
"The mysterious ruler above the gray fog;
"The King of Yellow and Black who wields good luck;
"Burn after reciting."
This … This is a secret existence at the level of a deity? Due to Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina's strict teachings, Dhaniz wasn't illiterate when it came to mysticism. He even had a pretty good foundation.
Looking at the note in his hand, he subconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air, inhaling the bone-chilling wind and icy snowflakes. Immediately, he coughed continuously, his expression twisted.
He could now confirm one of his previous guesses.
German Sparrow really belonged to a very powerful and secretive organization, and that organization believed in a god-level existence known as The Fool!
Indeed, there's no way such a powerful and crazy fellow doesn't come from nowhere … Danitz tugged at his collar and tightened his clothes. Looking at the piece of paper that was fluttering in the wind, an obvious look of hesitation appeared on his face.
He knew very well how dangerous it was to recite a secret existence of unknown origin, good or evil. This might lead to an ending even more terrifying than death!
The captain is also trapped here, and there's no way to get out … Dhaniz clenched his fist in front of his mouth.
He suddenly waved his hand and chanted the honorific name of The Fool in ancient Hermes.
…
In the captain's cabin on the Golden Dream.
Klein witnessed Dhaniz turn illusory for no reason before disappearing. He no longer had any doubts about the method to enter Rosell's Travels.
After patiently waiting for a while, he suddenly heard a series of illusory pleas. Furthermore, it was clearly from a man.
Phew, from the looks of it, Rosell's Travels isn't able to cut off the gray fog. The World in the book can still connect to that mysterious space … This way, even if I were to follow him in, I wouldn't be without a way out or a trump card … Klein heaved a sigh of relief without hiding it.
To confirm it, he took four steps counterclockwise again, recited the incantation, and went above the gray fog. He saw the spot of light representing Dhaniz spreading out beside The Fool's high-back chair.
It's entering with his body and soul … The World in the book is very stable. There's no way to shatter it by pulling out a Spirit Body … That's right, if it was possible, there would have been a corresponding revelation from the divination … The Sea God Scepter is too dangerous. Directly bestowing it to Dhaniz will only cause him to die quickly … Klein half-closed his eyes and emanated his spirituality. After sensing for a while, he came to many conclusions.
Without any delay, he immediately returned to the real World, picked up the copper knife, and used a piece of paper to wipe away Dhaniz's blood.
After folding the paper and putting it in his pocket, he began to consider what to do next.
From the looks of it, I have to smear the blood and enter it directly. That way, I don't have to worry about any accidents happening to my body. Furthermore, I can quickly resolve the problem.
But I can't be careless or negligent at the same time. I have to be wary of other dangers. Hmm … If there's a problem on the ship, they can find an opportunity to sneak into the captain's cabin after I enter Rosell's Travels and sacrifice the book to the True Creator, Primordial Demoness, or Hidden Sage. Then, I'll be in deep trouble. I'll definitely suffer a fate worse than death.
Most of the crew members of the Golden Dream seem to admire Vice Admiral Iceberg. For Anderson's superficial instigation to be effective, it's enough to explain many problems. Therefore, I can tell them that this concerns Vice Admiral Iceberg's life and get them to supervise each other. No one is allowed to enter, so I can be at ease.
The problem lies with Anderson. He's the Strongest Hunter, stronger than any Beyonder on the ship. Furthermore, he's good at ambushes and infiltration. There's a high chance that he can avoid the supervision of others and sneak into the captain's cabin … His origins aren't too clear either. I can't really trust him.
"I have to think of a way to get him to enter Rosell's Travels with me …"
While thinking, Klein flipped through the ancient book made of yellowish-brown goatskin again. He found that there was no more content this time, and the story lacked any traces of Dhaniz's existence.
In other words, I have to survive successfully and meet the main character's team before I can truly become a part of the story and have more pages appear in the book? Klein made a preliminary judgment. He walked to the door again and opened it.
"Did we succeed?" Floral Bow Tie Jodeson and the others asked in unison.
Klein shook his head and calmly said,
"There will be a long ceremony.
"No one is to enter and disturb her. Otherwise, it will cause Edwina Edwards to disappear forever or directly die."
After explaining the main matters, he looked around and said straightforwardly,
"I suspect that there is a problem with any of you.
"Next, you guys will supervise each other."
Gourmet Bru Walls was about to retort out of habit when he suddenly noticed that the captain's cabin was empty. Dhaniz, who had just entered, was nowhere to be seen.
Recalling the captain's disappearance, he was certain that the German Sparrow had found the root of the problem and was attempting to save her. Hence, he nodded.
"I'll be in charge of this matter.
"And they will supervise me."
Klein didn't waste his breath as he turned to look at Anderson Hood, who was leaning against the opposite wall.
"Come in for a moment."
Anderson curled the right corner of his mouth and tsked.
"People who don't know might think that I'm your subordinate. Your attitude is the epitome of a provocateur."
Although he grumbled, he straightened his body and slowly walked into the captain's cabin.
After closing and locking the door, Klein turned to face Anderson.
"Are you interested in participating in a rare adventure?
"You might be able to achieve the achievement of hunting a dragon."
Based on his observations over the past few days, he believed that Anderson Hood was a hunter with a curious and adventurous spirit. He was very willing to see new things and experience excitement that he had never experienced before.
Anderson stared at German Sparrow's face and sized him up seriously for a few seconds before revealing a smile.
"Not interested."
He shook his head firmly.
Then, before Klein could speak again, he chuckled and said, "I 'smell' the scent of danger.
"I 'smell' the scent of danger. A conceited, crazy, and powerful adventurer actually invited me to go on an adventure with him. What does this mean? It means that the matter is extremely troublesome and dangerous! "
I thought you would be interested. This is different from your usual behavior. You really know how to hold back … Hmm, I'll try using intimidation again. If that doesn't work, I'll throw this fellow on a deserted island and let the Golden Dream sail away. I'll come back to pick him up. As a hunter, survival on a deserted island shouldn't be a problem for him … Klein quickly made up his mind as his gaze turned cold.
He looked at Anderson and said, "I won't leave any latent problems for myself."
Anderson was stunned for a second before he quickly forced a smile.
"Haha, I was just joking. I am very interested in the title of Dragon Hunter."
… You've changed way too quickly … Just hold on a little longer, and you'll be able to enjoy the treatment of being able to eat even after losing your head … Klein nodded and walked back to his desk. He said to Anderson Hood,
"Use your blood to smear the cover of this book. You don't need too much."
"Smear it?" Anderson sized up Rosell's Travels out of curiosity before surveying the area. "Edwina's disappearance has something to do with it? The disappearance of the failed hunter was the same? Ah, right, 'Blazing' Dhaniz. I almost forgot his name. Fortunately, his bounty is quite high now. "
The corners of Klein's mouth twitched slightly as he calmly replied,
"Yes."
"Interesting …" Anderson glanced at the desk, picked up the copper knife, and casually made a cut on his hand, causing blood to flow.
Right on the heels of that, he carefully put down the knife and smeared the blood on the dark brown cover of Rosell's Travels.
After observing for a few seconds, Anderson was just about to pick up the copper knife to wipe away the remaining blood when he was suddenly enveloped by a raging blizzard.
Seeing Anderson and Dhaniz vanish, Klein picked up another piece of paper, wiped the blood off the copper knife, and placed it in his pocket.
He wasn't sure if the three of them would be in the same place after entering the World in the book, so he had prepared the ingredients for Dowsing Rod Seeking!
After doing all of this, Klein held the knife and gestured at the back of his hand.
The muscles on his face twitched as he looked down diagonally. After a few seconds, he suddenly exerted strength.
His body twitched as his head turned to the side. The corners of Klein's mouth involuntarily curled up.
After the blood flowed out, he grabbed his cane while still holding the knife. He quickly smeared the liquid on the goatskin book's cover.
It didn't take long before Klein suddenly found himself in a white World of Ice and Snow.
