Klein was curious about the results of the exploration, so he didn't ask any more questions. He walked past the captain's room and headed down the stairs.
After walking a few steps, his throat felt itchy and he couldn't help but put his fist in front of his mouth and coughed twice.
Klein was not surprised by this situation because it was bound to happen. He had been carrying the "biotoxin bottle" for more than two hours last night. It was not until late at night that he confirmed that the "Admiral of the Stars" had no intention of attacking, and then he transferred the magical item into the black suitcase, and then he fell ill tragically.
Of course, he had not been carrying the "biological toxin bottle" for too long, and his body was not in a weak state. His illness was relatively mild, just a simple sore throat.
Cattleya, who was following slowly behind, saw this scene, but did not think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, she thought it was normal.
It is a rule that all knowledgeable extraordinary people know that magical items must have negative effects. They also follow the example of the seven major churches and call those items with serious negative effects that are difficult to carry for a long time and use frequently as sealed objects.
The reason why Cattleya sold or exchanged many of the mid- and low-level magical items was, firstly, because she wanted something more powerful that could improve her own survivability, and secondly, there were too many types of negative effects, which was also a problem. Often, she could avoid one but not the other. Some negative effects would even overlap with each other, creating an effect where one plus one was greater than two. For extraordinary people, the disadvantages outweighed the benefits.
After she discovered that Gehrman Sparrow had armed himself to the teeth with magical items, extraordinary weapons, and spiritual spells, she was surprised and amazed, and was already speculating on what kind of negative impact he would suffer. Today, it seemed that he was just simply sick for the time being.
Walking steadily onto the deck, Klein spotted Frank Lee at a glance. He was still wearing a white shirt and overalls, with his sleeves rolled up high and his arms stained with mud. He didn't seem to be afraid of the cold wind blowing from the clear sky at all.
"Good morning, Hermann." Frank waved enthusiastically, "Come and take a look at my latest creation. This is definitely the most popular thing on the sea!"
As he spoke, he raised his other hand, holding in his palm a thick, large sea fish of unknown species.
No, I don’t want to know what “monster” you created again… Klein stopped and looked at him with a cold expression.
Frank Lee didn't realize that his attitude was wrong. He took out a dagger from his waist, stabbed it into the sea fish, and then cut a hole in it.
Blood gushed out and fell accurately into the large beer mug on the deck, but there was no fishy smell at all.
"Do you smell it? What an intoxicating aroma!" Frank Lee half-closed his eyes and said enthusiastically, "This is a fish whose blood is red wine. The wine also carries a lot of nutrients!"
…Klein found himself speechless.
Frank looked at the sailors around him excitedly, and then said to Gehrman Sparrow:
"Do you know what is the most troubling thing for us at sea? That is that we have run out of wine and have not yet reached the shore! As long as this kind of fish can reproduce quickly and become the main product of the sea, then no matter where we go, we will not lack wine to drink. Yes, they will be divided into different species, some will produce Lilanzi, some will produce Nepos, some will produce red wine, and some will produce beer. Beer must be obtained from sharks and whales, otherwise there will not be enough to drink!"
Isn't the lack of water the most troubling thing? Of course, most of the time you use beer instead of water because it is less likely to spoil... Poor fish... Klein was thinking about how to respond to Frank. "Star Admiral" Cattleya also came to the deck, passed him, and asked her first mate:
"Are you ready, Nina?"
"Well, she's already drunk a bottle of Nepos!" Frank pointed to a shadow created by the sail.
The so-called preparation is to drink a bottle of Nipos, a specialty of Feysac, a Nipos that can be used to strike matches? Klein suddenly felt that the lady named Nina mentioned by the first mate should have Feysac bloodline.
"Captain, I would rather have a bottle of Sonia blood wine!" A female figure slowly stood up and walked out from the shadows.
She was over 1.8 meters tall, with her golden hair casually tied into a high ponytail. Her facial features were not outstanding, but she had obvious Feysac characteristics, with fair skin and pale eyes.
The lady named Nina was wearing a black tight-fitting dress that looked like it was made of fish skin. The upper and lower parts of her body seemed to be connected as one, perfectly outlining her hot figure.
This style itself is quite sexy, and Nina's breasts are far beyond the limit of foul play. It is easy to imagine what the glances from the surrounding pirates mean.
Klein was a little embarrassed at first and wanted to look away, but then he thought that Gehrman Sparrow was definitely not such a naive person, so he had to let go of his gaze and look straight at Nina's face.
"German, this is our boatswain Nina! She is also the navigator's deputy. Haha, her sequence name is 'Navigator'!" Frank Lee introduced without reservation.
This "toxin expert" is very simple besides researching hybridization... I remember that the bounty for this Ms. Nina is 3,600 pounds, and her nickname is "Undersea Killer". Oh, I've seen too many wanted posters, and I can't even remember some of them at once... Klein looked into Nina's eyes and nodded calmly:
"Good morning, ma'am."
Nina smiled and looked Klein up and down:
"Good morning, Mr. Sparrow.
"I'm curious, is 'Vice Admiral of Disease' as charming as the rumors say?"
As a female pirate who had been in the middle and lower levels for a long time, she was always frank and straightforward in dealing with men and women. She originally wanted to ask Gehrman Sparrow directly if she was not attractive enough, or if he was the cold type, so he ignored her completely without any reaction. However, considering that the person standing in front of her was a powerful guy, an adventurer who almost succeeded in hunting down "Vice Admiral Disease", a madman who might draw his gun and shoot at any time, she rationally retracted those teasing words and asked about "Vice Admiral Disease" in a roundabout way.
...How should I answer you? Klein was silent for a moment and said:
“Her bounty is very attractive.”
Nina was stunned for a second, not knowing how to continue the topic, so she turned to look at the "Admiral of the Star":
"Captain, shall we start now?"
Cattleya nodded to Nina as her bounty flashed through her mind.
"start."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nina strode to the edge of the ship, pushed with her right hand, and jumped directly into the sea, swimming downstream like a big black fish.
At the same time, there were several splash sounds, and several sailors jumped down to provide some support.
This... it started right away, without any room for buffering... This lady has the temperament of the Church of Storms, worthy of being a Beyonder of the Sailor Path... Klein looked outside the ship and couldn't help coughing twice.
"Are you sick?" Frank Lee asked directly.
Klein nodded indifferently:
"a little."
Frank thought about it for a moment, and without saying goodbye, he ran back to the cabin, and no one knew where he was going.
The "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya next to him pushed down her heavy glasses and smiled slightly:
"Frank is the 'toxin expert' and an excellent doctor."
It was indeed the "Tiller" path... Klein did not ask any more questions and stood there, waiting for Nina to complete her initial exploration.
Seeing the sudden silence, Cattleya felt a little awkward, so she took a few steps forward and said casually:
"One more day and we'll be out of whaling lanes."
"It's still at least a week before we reach that ocean." Klein thought for a moment and asked the question.
"That's if we follow the whaling route. In fact, this will go further north and there's a detour. I know a secret route that will allow us to reach the ocean you want to go to within two to three days." Cattleya looked through the thick glass into Klein's eyes, as if trying to see what he knew about that very dangerous ocean.
Klein thought about it for a moment and said only two simple words:
“Excellent, that’s exactly what I wanted.
"Besides, that ocean is closer to fantasy than reality."
Cattleya withdrew her gaze thoughtfully and looked towards the cabin entrance.
Frank Lee ran out with a green apple in his hand.
“This is another achievement of mine. I hybridized medicine with fruit, making taking medicine a pleasure!” He handed the apple to Klein with a smile on his face.
...I'm afraid that if I eat it, my condition will get worse... Klein glanced at the Admiral of the Stars and saw her nod slightly. He then accepted the apple with a calm exterior but a reluctant heart, and took a bite.
This has the normal apple flavor, just with more liquid and softer flesh.
After taking a few bites, Klein found that his throat suddenly stopped hurting, and he didn't know when he had stopped coughing.
I have to say, this is really amazing... As long as it doesn't involve animals or humans, Frank Li should be a highly respected genius within the Church of Mother Earth. Unfortunately, he eventually turned into a devil... Klein looked at the "toxin expert" and said calmly:
"Healed."
“Very good.” Frank didn’t praise himself, but casually introduced the pirates on the deck to Klein.
After a long time, Nina and the sailors swam out of the sea and returned to the captain.
In her hands, she held a metal bar that was so rusted that it was unrecognizable and a piece of hard black soil covered with honeycombs. She complained to Admiral of the Stars Cattleya:
"Captain, there is no such thing as a deep-sea well!
“That well is not even as big as my breasts!
"Of course. It's very deep and dark. I don't know what's hidden there."
She gestured in front of her.
"Exaggeration is a common trait among pirates and adventurers." Cattleya nodded without using the word "bragging".
The diameter of the wellhead is so small? Klein looked at the item in Nina's hand in confusion and politely avoided her body that was dripping with water.
Cattleya's eyes synchronized with his and she spoke:
"Tell me about the specific situation."
