Klein couldn't go against his will to comfort Frank Lee, nor was he too embarrassed to directly say that it was a good thing that the red wine fish couldn't reproduce. He could only pretend that this was just a trivial issue and didn't respond.
He took two steps sideways, walked around to the edge of the ship, and looked out at the rough sea.
At this time, the clouds in the sky became lighter and thinner, and the light of the crimson moon made the dark night a little brighter.
In such an environment, Klein could clearly see the scene not far away. There were layers of dark clouds, pressing very low, and he could see a real hurricane sweeping back and forth, covering an unknown amount of sea.
Under the illumination of silver-white lightning, fine rainstorms danced with the wind, creating a scene like the end of the world.
Such a horrific disaster might be only a few nautical miles away from the "Future", or even closer, but it had almost no impact on this side, only the wind became a little stronger.
This is the meaning of a safe channel, sailing in between storms... If there is no qualified navigation captain, perhaps just sailing normally will also lead to disaster... Klein turned his head to look in front of the ship, only to see that the light there was dim and foggy, with very low visibility. It was difficult to distinguish between dangerous and non-dangerous areas with the naked eye.
Similar situations are not very obvious on the west side of Oravi Island, but here, in the secret channel, it has become the norm.
Just as Klein was about to look away, he suddenly saw a huge dark monster hiding at the edge of the storm!
Sea monster? He suddenly remembered the rumors about the sea he had heard in bars:
Once you are away from the safe waterway, it is easy to encounter various monsters. Some of them are huge and very aggressive. Once they surface, they will swallow the ship in one gulp.
The "Future" did not stop moving forward, and soon it closed the distance with the gloomy and dark behemoth.
Klein finally saw the other party clearly and discovered that it was not a sea monster, but a sailing ship even larger than the Future.
The sailboat is nearly two hundred meters long, with its front and back raised high, and the whole thing looks like a crescent moon.
Its surface is painted black; the cannons on the side of the ship are arranged in three rows, in order; the part protruding from the deck, except for the mast, is also tall and huge, at least equivalent to a five-story house.
The strangest thing about the ship is that it has only one sail, on which is depicted a black tombstone.
"Death call..." A solemn voice sounded beside Klein's ears. Frank Lee had abandoned the silver-scaled fish that used red wine as their blood and walked to his side.
The first mate, whose bounty was 7,000 pounds, had a sullen face and tense muscles, as if he would attack at any time at the slightest change in the huge sailing ship.
Death Call? Klein was stunned at first, then he remembered what the name meant.
It is one of the most famous and legendary ships on the five seas!
It is the flagship of the "Immortal King" Agaritu!
I actually ran into one of the Four Kings... Klein was secretly shocked and couldn't help but go into a state of high alert.
However, he remained indifferent and calm on the surface, still looking at the "Death Ship".
Thinking of the fact that the second mate of the Undead King, the "Slayer" Gilchiais, who had a bounty of 9,500 pounds, had recently appeared in Nas and warned him, Klein was immediately relieved and no longer wondered why he encountered the "Death Report" not far from the Gargas Islands.
After putting this question aside, he thought of more rumors, some of which could be confirmed to be true descriptions:
“Agaritu, the ‘Undying King’, is a middle-aged man who is so pale that he seems ready to rot at any moment;
“His bounty for a single country is as high as 100,000 pounds;
“All those who were once his enemies, whether pirates, adventurers, or a certain naval fleet, have perished. Only the other three who were also the ‘Four Kings’ are still alive;
“He never confronted the official demigods head-on and was extremely restrained in this regard;
“Almost no one knows his specific sequence, and no one understands his extraordinary abilities;
“He is cruel by nature, fond of killing, and may attack anyone or any ship at any time;
"He likes to find excuses to break his promises. In addition to being called the 'Undying King', he is also widely known as the 'Faithless One'."
Fortunately, I am on the Future. The Immortal King should give Admiral Star some face. After all, Ms. Hermit is also one of the seven pirate generals... No, the Four Kings and the pirate generals can get along peacefully at the pirate conference convened by the Five Seas King. Under normal circumstances, there is cooperation and confrontation, and the latter is more common. A few months ago, Admiral Blood and Vice Admiral Dusk had a big fight... In addition, the Immortal King's style does not necessarily mean that things will just stop at encounters on the road! Just as Klein had this thought, he heard a low horn sound.
Woo!
The sailors resting in the cabin woke up instantly. Without even bothering to put on their clothes, they either ran straight to different gun muzzles or came to the deck to prepare for boarding. The "Future" suddenly went from a peaceful state to a wartime state.
Klein turned his head and looked upwards, only to see that the window of the captain's room had been opened. Admiral of the Stars Cattleya was standing there in her unchanged black robe, staring in the direction of the Death Announcement.
She no longer wore the thick glasses, and her dark eyes were tinged with a hint of dark purple, deep and mysterious.
“Sure enough, she’s also worried that the Undead King might suddenly launch an attack…” Klein retracted his gaze and looked back at the Death Announcement ship with its bow and stern raised.
At this time, the two ships were passing each other and the pirates on the opposite side were vaguely visible.
Those guys were also looking over here, some were as quiet as statues, seemingly without any emotional fluctuations, some were waving their swords, blowing the muzzles of their guns, doing their best to be provocative.
At this moment, just a match could ignite the tension and start the fight.
In the end, the "Death Announcement" did not make any movement and remained quietly in the same place, watching the "Future" pass by it and gradually go away.
“Huh…” Frank Lee, who was standing next to Klein, let out a breath without disguising it.
He smiled again and said to Klein:
"Hehe, there have been many rumors about the strength of the 'Undying King'. Some say he is indeed a demigod, while others say he is only Sequence 5 and only reached Sequence 4 with the help of the 'Death Announcement' ship. But no matter what, he has lived long enough. Uh... what do you think, if I crossbreed him with my fish, can their life span be increased?"
Frank suddenly had an idea.
First, you need to be able to capture the Undying King, or make him interested in your fish... Klein muttered to himself and said calmly:
"You can discuss this matter with him."
Frank Lee was stunned for a moment, then sighed in frustration:
"He won't agree to that. He'll just plant me in the ground."
As soon as he finished speaking, the "Death Announcement", which had already put some distance between itself and the "Future", suddenly turned its sails.
A sharp, malicious laugh came from several hundred meters away, enveloping the entire "Future".
"Hahaha!
"Hahaha!"
The laughter kept echoing, sometimes hoarse, sometimes chaotic, sometimes like a whisper, and sometimes like singing. The sailors on the deck fell to the ground one after another, covering their ears forcibly, but still twisted and struggled in pain.
Fish scales began to grow on the body surfaces of some Beyonders.
Klein was also affected. He felt his head suddenly filled with all kinds of thoughts, some good, some bad, some bright, and some dark.
They are extremely complex and, combined with the ever-changing laughter, create a sense of expansion that seems to be about to burst your head.
Klein's face twisted slightly, and subtle buds of flesh began to stir under his skin.
If he hadn't witnessed the mumbling of the "True Creator" and Mr. "Door"'s cry for help, and if he hadn't suffered similar torture every time he passed through the gray fog and had already developed a certain resistance, Klein would have been like the "toxin expert" Frank Lee beside him, holding his head and squatting down, resisting the pain brought by the terrible laughter with a ferocious expression.
Klein noticed that Frank had some short brown hair growing on his face, and he seemed to be changing into a giant bear.
At this moment, the symbolic symbols and magical signs on the bulkheads, decks, and masts of the "Future" lit up in distinct layers, like a sea of densely packed and dazzling stars on a moonless night.
The terrifying laughter, whether sharp or hoarse, did not weaken as a result, but it seemed to have distanced itself from the crowd, coming from a farther place, appearing empty and unreal.
The swelling in Klein's head eased a lot, and he finally had enough energy to look up.
Behind the open window of the captain's room, the face of the "Admiral of the Stars" was covered with dark marks, which seemed like they would crack at any time and grow disgusting things at any time.
At this moment, Cattleya's palms were pressed on the windowsill, with stars swirling around her, which seemed to correspond one to one with the brilliant ocean of the "Future".
Woo!
A strong wind suddenly arose, and the sails adjusted themselves. Even though the Future lost control of the ship, its speed increased instead of decreased, and it flew away from the Death Signal quickly.
Klein looked at the room where the mysterious eyes were watching the deck during the day and found that the windows there were rattling in the strong wind, but there was nothing unusual.
Woo!
In the strong wind, the starlight descended and formed a piece of "floating ice", supporting the "Future" to "fly" rapidly.
Finally, the figure of the "Death Announcement" disappeared behind, and the terrible laughter that could make people lose control or go crazy became more and more unreal and distant.
Frank Lee put down his hands, gasped for breath, and barely recovered. The sailors on the deck were still rolling and struggling in great pain, but the situation was no longer getting worse.
“The ability of the Undying King is truly powerful and impossible to defend against… No wonder he is one of the Four Kings…” Klein frowned slightly and sighed.
Although he had rich experience and had seen a lot, this was the first time he was directly attacked by a demigod in the true sense. He found that even Agaritu, who was ranked last among the "Four Kings", made him feel vulnerable and there seemed to be no possibility of resistance.
Given Agaritu's style, would he let the Death Announcement keep chasing him? Although he would most likely wait for the return of Gilchias the Slayer, this possibility could not be ruled out... If he catches up, I will pray to myself and use the Scepter of Poseidon to give him a whirlpool, a storm, and a lightning strike... After making up his mind, Klein looked at Admiral of the Stars Cattleya again.
The pirate general's face had turned extremely pale, but there was no trace of dullness anymore, and the starlight surrounding her was slowly extinguishing bit by bit.
