Chapter 557 The Final Question
A Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristic, whether crafted into a magical item or sold for gold pounds to prepare for his promotion, would be a huge boost for Danitz, who was at Sequence 7. This way, he should be able to truly get closer to Edwina...
Angel pondered and carefully sealed his own "Ocean Singer" extraordinary characteristics.
She planned to first ask the Hanged Man, Alger, if he wanted to buy this property as the main ingredient for the potion. Once Klein got the corresponding formula, he could also sell it to Alger and make money twice from him.
But Siatas...
Looking at the pair of dry bones, Angel's desire for gold pounds suddenly weakened a lot. She sighed and put the characteristics sealed by the spiritual wall in the small box into the suitcase. Suddenly, she found three dark red iron pieces lying on the floor under her feet.
That's... my spell!
Angel immediately recognized the two "disasters" on the ground and a special spell named "betrayal" whose purpose she only now knew.
It turns out they fell here. It seems that when I smeared my blood on Groselle's Travels and entered the world of the book, they were left there... Angel immediately understood the reason, lowered his head, picked up the "Disaster", and moved his finger to the "Betrayal" spell.
Its "emergency version" killed a frost dragon...
The moment his fingers touched "betrayal", Angel felt that the little spiritual power left in his body was pouring into the thin iron sheet through his fingertips like a tide. An indescribable terrifying aura, as if cutting open his own soul, filled the entire captain's room, making everyone look over here.
She decisively loosened her fingers, stood up and took two steps back. Only then did she feel a throbbing pain in her head, her vision became blurred, and she heard a series of unknown whispers in her ears.
This is a sign of spiritual exhaustion and being on the verge of losing control.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Klein immediately came over to support her and asked in a low voice.
"That talisman, I don't know when it was activated. It just absorbed my spiritual energy and is almost activated..."
Angel explained briefly, feeling a wave of fear in his heart.
If his spiritual power hadn't been largely depleted in Groselle's Travels due to fighting the power of frost and using temporary spells, he would have probably activated the "betrayal" spell at that moment...
A terrifying scene emerged before her eyes: Klein and Edwina's heads flew up to the ceiling, dragging their spines with them, and their headless bodies danced and chased their own heads.
That was a scene of Bansy Harbor that she would never forget in her mind.
Right, start...
She suddenly realized that the only time she activated "betrayal" was when she lay on the back of the frost dragon Yurisan, drew the spell with her own blood, and recited the spell.
Could it be that when he chanted the spell inside Groselle's Travels, the talismans left outside were also activated synchronously?
She stared at the dark red iron piece that had absorbed some spiritual energy but had not yet reached the required level for activation, and did not dare to reach out to take it.
Glancing at the porthole sealed by his own ice, Angel walked forward, ripped open the window, and let the crimson moonlight pour into the captain's room amidst the huge movement. Then he pulled up the talisman with a silk thread and threw it into the sea without hesitation.
"What is that?"
Her action attracted the attention of Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina, who walked forward and asked without hiding her curiosity.
"It's just a useless spell..."
Angel replied with a wry smile. She was worried that if she told the truth, she, the "Ship Destroyer," would be immediately kicked off the ship and would have no choice but to swim back to Bayam.
The pirate general, unaware that her "Golden Dream" was facing a serious threat, nodded and stopped asking questions. She heard dense footsteps coming from the door, so she walked to the door, opened the blocked door, and looked towards the corridor.
The door was already full of sailors peeking out, led by the first mate Blue Walls, who was wearing a monocle. Seeing the captain who had been missing for three days appear, they had unconcealable joy on their faces.
"captain!"
"Alas!"
The atmosphere outside the door was boiling. Danitz glanced at the other three people and carefully slipped out of the room, but was grabbed by "Flower Tie" Jodson, who, along with several sailors, lifted him up high.
"'Flame' Danitz!"
"Alas!"
Danitz's face was filled with disbelief at first, but then it turned into a faint smile. He spread his arms and legs, allowing the sailors to toss him up and catch him.
"That's quite enthusiastic..."
Anderson muttered to himself, carefully putting away his "Dream Thief" trait, looking at the several skeletons in the captain's room, listening to the cheers outside the door, suddenly sighed, then forced a smile on his face, walked to the door, and joined the carnival team.
"'Flame'!"
"Raise it higher!"
Bang--
It seemed as if the incited sailors accidentally threw Danitz onto the ceiling. With a dull thud, the cheers abruptly stopped.
Edwina reluctantly dismissed most of the sailors and ordered the boatswain, "Bucket" Daniels, to lead the men in collecting the remains of Groselle and the others and disposing of them accordingly so that the ashes could be handed over to Angel and Klein.
"Let's go. This ship seems to be heading to Bayam. We can take a ride."
After the noise outside the door stopped, Klein whispered to Angel.
"Um."
Angel nodded, followed him, and suddenly extended a hand.
Without hesitation, Klein held her hand. The warmth from her thin gloves dispelled the last trace of coldness Angel felt in his heart from Groselle's Travels.
————
After a noisy welcome for their now-lost captain, the "Golden Dream" resumed normal operations, turned around, and headed south towards Bayam, the "City of Generosity."
Angel and Klein were arranged by the enthusiastic sailors to stay in a luxurious suite second only to the captain's living room. The huge double bed, separate bathroom, and large portholes made it seem like a top-notch suite in a seaside hotel instead of a room on a sailboat.
"This is the only set on the entire ship. Have a good night's rest!"
After leaving a mysterious smile, the sailor who led the way left, leaving Angel confused.
As for the other "guest" Anderson Hood, he was coerced by a group of sailors to attend a bonfire party on the deck, where he drank a lot of liquor. Finally, he was taken to a lounge farthest from the captain's room. There were sailors at the door waiting for his orders at any time. It can be said that he was taken care of in every possible way.
"It seems my 'instigation' was somewhat useful..."
Angel chuckled and knocked on the door of the captain's cabin.
The door opened, and it was Klein who came out. He was holding a black key as big as a ship's rudder and walked out of the room, shaking it.
She immediately recognized that this was the "Key of Death" that she had seen in the exhibition room when she first came to the "Golden Dream". The conflict between "Admiral Blood" and "Vice Admiral Iceberg" originated from this.
"What are you holding it for?"
Angel asked curiously, looking past Klein into the room and finding Edwina standing at the desk, lost in thought.
"I persuaded her to sell me the key. This might be related to the Giant King's Court, but I need to do further divination to confirm... What about you? Are you coming to see Edwina too?"
A giant, not a god of death?
Angel nodded and said:
"I have a few questions for the learned captain."
She didn't say what she wanted to ask. Klein couldn't know about this matter yet.
The latter's whole mind was on the black key. Hearing this, he did not ask any further questions, but walked away with the key in his arms, swaying from side to side.
Angel carefully locked the door and sat down at Edwina's desk. The pirate general also sat in the armchair and looked at her curiously. Before she could speak, he spoke first:
"I also have a question for you," she said, a smile on her face, her narrowed light blue eyes like a clear spring. "What was the ability you used to end the 'King of the North' Jurisian that day? I tried to simulate it, but I have no clue."
Why did she ask first... Was it because she heard my conversation with Klein and knew I needed her help, so she asked her question in advance to make it difficult for me to refuse?
Angel's expression froze.
But she is also very curious about her power of "disaster" and "betrayal". Now she can not only use talismans, but even paint with blood to directly activate the power of talismans. This power that does not belong to the "witch" path makes her dependent on it, but also a little afraid.
Therefore, Angel planned to tell Edwina about the spell with reservations to see if she had any clue.
"Bansi Harbor... I heard it was completely destroyed by the Church of Storms, and all the local residents were taken away and immigrated to other islands... I've heard many primitive religious customs are preserved there, but I've never seen symbols and patterns like these.
"As for Isla Sorna, my ship briefly stopped there six months ago to resupply. Some of the villages there are quite exclusive and the population isn't large, so there aren't any Church of the Storm churches there... I wouldn't be surprised if they're secretly conducting bloody sacrifices similar to Banshee's."
After listening to Angel's introduction, Edwina looked at the "disaster" and "betrayal" spells drawn on the paper, pondered for a moment, and told him the information she knew.
"Finally, regarding the patterns of these two spells, I will inquire through my channels... Do you mind revealing how to draw them?"
Edwina tapped the drawing paper where the ink was still wet with her finger and asked back.
"Don't mind, they won't work without a special preparation method."
And the special method uses my blood, and only I can activate it… Angel added in his mind.
She guessed that the channel behind "Vice Admiral Iceberg" was the "Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom" in Lenburg. This could be guessed from the other party's background, educational experience, and the special main gun on the "Golden Dream".
Her purpose of coming to the captain's room tonight was also based on this guess.
"Now, it's my turn to ask a question," she asked after seeing Edwina carefully put away the paper with the special runes. "Have you ever seen a method in the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom that can seal the power of high-level spells into bullets and fire them with firearms?"
