Seeing Edwina's gaze soften, Anderson curled the corners of his mouth and shook his head with a sigh.
"You're always so inflexible. That's why you'll never become an artist."
After sighing with emotion, he looked at the corpse on the chair on the ground.
"We can't keep watching. We have to do something. Isn't Siatas searching for her people? Bury her near the elven ruins on Sonia Island. Mobet looked like he wanted to be with Siatas, so he would be placed in the same grave.
"Didn't Frunziar want to return to Baekeland? He was burned to ashes, placed in a box, and brought to the big city. If we had the time, we could also look for his descendants. As for Snowman, we didn't know whether he believed in the ancient Sun God, the original Creator, or both. Heh, it was all the same to us. We definitely wouldn't be able to find the corresponding church or altar, so we could only bury him next to Rosell.
Ge Rosell … He probably wants to return to the Giant King's Court, but this is a city that only exists in myths and legends. It can't be found in reality. However, there are some giant ruins in the Northern and Southern Continents. He can be buried in those places and truly rest in peace.
Giant King's Court … Baekeland … Klein listened in silence and deliberated for a few seconds.
"Give me the ashes of Rosell, Snowman, and Frunziar."
He believed that it wouldn't be too long or short before the City of Silver explored the Giant King's Court. When the time came, he could hand the ashes of Rosell and Snowman to Little Sun, allowing him to bury these two ancient figures. As for Baekeland, it was a place Klein wanted to return to. It was the end of his journey, and it was perfect for him to bring Frunziar, who had left his hometown for more than 165 years.
Edwina followed up.
"The Golden Dream often goes to Sonia Island. I'll be in charge of Siatas and Mobet's corpses."
"Alright, you'll be in charge of the cremation later." Anderson turned to look at Dhaniz and sighed with a smile. "You see, everyone has their own role to play. There's no need to feel inferior."
He thought that Dhaniz wouldn't understand his consolation and would glare at him angrily. Who knew that the famous pirate's expression only dimmed a little and he nodded silently.
"Ahem, as companions who faced the 'King of the North' together, let's each pick one. Consider it as inheriting their will." Anderson used his chin to point at the shimmering items on the floor. "Heh heh, these Beyonder characteristics definitely have remnants of their psyche. I wonder what kind of effects it will bring. Be it concocting them into potions for consumption or finding an Artisan to refine them into items, there should be some special effects. The former can be digested through the 'acting method,' but there's nothing I can do about the latter. Ah, you don't seem to know the 'acting method,' so pretend I didn't say anything."
His last words were directed at Dhaniz.
Klein wasn't in the mood to criticize Anderson as he looked at the four Beyonder characteristics.
"Give me Siatas'."
This was the main ingredient of the Ocean Songster!
Edwina thought for a moment.
"I took Snowman's."
This corresponded to a Priest of Light. Klein already had one, so he didn't choose it.
Anderson scanned the remaining two Beyonder characteristics, his gaze pausing on the strange object that resembled a baby's palm.
"I told you, this guy is very interesting. Perhaps he can make a mystical item that can chat with me. That way, no one will be lonely."
At that moment, the giant's heart was still unclaimed. Klein glanced at Dhaniz and said indifferently,
"Yours."
"Me? I didn't do anything, I didn't participate in the battle … "Dhaniz was very surprised.
Klein said succinctly,
"You explored the path and took a risk."
To Klein, this was actually a form of compensation. This was because Dhaniz had recited The Fool's honorific name and learned of German Sparrow's secret. Therefore, he had to be forced to become a believer of The Fool; otherwise, it would leave him with huge latent problems.
Although this was one of the risks Dhaniz was willing to take, Klein still wanted to make up for it. Of course, he hoped that Dhaniz would view it as a gift from The Fool.
And be it exchanging Rosell's Beyonder characteristic for money, buying the corresponding formulas and ingredients, or making it into a defensive mystical item, they were all very useful to Dhaniz.
"Take it." Edwina looked at Dhaniz as well.
"… Alright." Dhaniz fell silent for a few seconds before nodding heavily.
After the distribution was done, Klein took a few steps forward and bent down to pick up the Beyonder characteristic left behind by Siatas. He saw the blue seawater in the transparent membrane gently sway, and he could vaguely hear the elf's beautiful singing.
Just as he stood up straight, he saw Dhaniz nod as though he was responding to someone's question, but no one had spoken!
Klein's gaze swept across Edwina's expressionless face, suspecting that this Mysticism Tutor was communicating with Dhaniz in a voice that others couldn't hear.
Seeing Dhaniz give an affirmative answer, Edwina reached out to close Rosell's Travels and handed it to Klein.
"This is my thanks."
"Without me, you could've defeated the frost dragon." Klein didn't extend his hand as he looked at the yellowish-brown goatskin book.
"No, we will die together. We can't stop the King of the North's final madness. Besides, you are taking a huge risk by entering the book." Edwina was like a teacher as she seriously explained the reason. "My only request is that if you figure out its origins and principles, tell me the answer."
Klein was very curious about the secrets contained in Ge Rosell's Travels, so he no longer refused and reached out to take the magical book.
"Alright."
At this moment, as the importance of the Giant King's Court was becoming more prominent, he even wished to buy the black iron key that was worth 5,000 pounds that belonged to the giants. However, he didn't immediately raise the request, in case Edwina thought that he was blackmailing her.
He planned on borrowing the key from Vice Admiral Iceberg in a few hours or the next day. He would first head above the gray fog to divine its value before paying to buy it.
Seeing that Anderson and Dhaniz had picked up their Beyonder characteristics, Edwina looked at the darkening sky and said to Klein, "Let's go.
"Where are you going next?"
"Bayam," Klein answered frankly.
Edwina nodded.
"You can take the Golden Dream over. We have plenty of empty rooms."
Klein nodded indiscernibly and agreed.
Who wouldn't like to take a free ship?
After dealing with the skeleton and tidying up the captain's cabin, Edwina walked to the door and opened it.
Immediately, there were sounds of pleasant surprise as the atmosphere in the corridor quickly boiled over.
"Alright, it's fine." Edwina surveyed the area as a smile unknowingly appeared on her cold expression.
With a boom, the crew cheered. The loud sound made Anderson pucker his lips and scrunch up his face.
"It's more exaggerated than I imagined …" His words were undoubtedly drowned out by the revelry.
After all of this calmed down, Klein and Anderson left the captain's cabin under Dhaniz's lead and headed for another room on the same floor.
Half-turning his body to look at where he was, Anderson suddenly sighed.
"Is it over just like that?
"Although I've known them for less than half an hour, fellows who fought alongside me always leave a deep impression. Yet, they died for no apparent reason. They're all dead …"
Klein fell silent for two seconds.
"This World is filled with baffling deaths to begin with."
"… That's true." Anderson revealed a smile. "That's why I have to be optimistic and enjoy life. If I were to face death one day, I would definitely be calm, suave, and not lose my poise. I would use my most handsome stance to welcome it."
Don't raise flags for yourself … Klein didn't say a word as he entered the room Dhaniz had opened. Anderson stayed opposite him.
Inside the room, Klein stood by the window and silently looked at the darkening sea for nearly ten minutes before heading to the bathroom. He took four steps counterclockwise, recited an incantation, and went above the gray fog.
Sitting in the high-back chair belonging to The Fool, he conjured The World's figure and made him put on a pleading posture.
"Honorable Mr. Fool, please inform Sun that I've already obtained the Sequence 6 Notary potion formula that he wants. I also have clues to the Priest of Light formula and main ingredient. He can temporarily not pay me and treat it as a debt that will be paid in the future. "
This was to prepare for his advancement to Sequence 4. The City of Silver had rich resources, and it was possible that there were some main ingredients or supplementary ingredients that were currently difficult to find. Therefore, since he didn't have any urgent needs for the time being, he planned on letting Little Sun owe him.
The reason why he didn't mention that he had obtained the Priest of Light potion formula and main ingredient was that he found it too exaggerated. He planned on telling Little Sun after he was almost done digesting it.
After examining the conjured image twice, he transformed it into a stream of light and cast it into the crimson star corresponding to Sun.
Afternoon Town.
Derrick, who had just finished patrolling the borders of the newly built camp, suddenly saw a blur. He saw the boundless grayish-white fog and the blurry figure praying within the crimson light.
Right on the heels of that, he heard World's voice and knew that he had the Notary potion formula.
Mr. World is so efficient. He did as many days as he promised. Furthermore, he also obtained clues to the Priest of Light potion formula and main ingredient! Derrick was surprised, but it was soon followed by joy.
He couldn't help but admire World, hoping that he would possess such abilities and style in the future.
And above the gray fog, the busy World began praying again after Mr. Fool confirmed that the Ocean Songster potion formula was correct.
"Honorable Mr. Fool, please inform The Hanging Man that I've already obtained the Ocean Songster potion formula and the corresponding main ingredient. I'll give it to him on the next Tarot and ask him to consider what he can use in exchange."
