The strongest hunter... Klein was shocked by this title. After thinking carefully, he found that the other party did not have a bounty.
In other words, Anderson Hood's self-description in the dream world is true and reliable, and he is more of a treasure hunter!
It’s a pity that Gehrman Sparrow hasn’t killed any pirate generals yet, otherwise I would be the strongest hunter... Klein did not let down his guard and stared at the opposite side with cold eyes.
As long as Anderson Hood shows any abnormality, he will immediately throw out the talisman in his hand. The opening spell is the same anyway. For him at his current level, the infusion of spirituality can also be done at the same time.
After hearing the introduction of the "Admiral of the Star", Anderson shook his head seriously:
"No, not the strongest hunter."
Wow, you're quite modest... Klein sighed in his heart.
Anderson chuckled and added:
“If you still insist on calling it ‘Admiral of the Stars’, it would be best to add a qualifier in front of it: below demigod.
"Yes, the strongest hunter below demigod."
...I take back what I said before... Klein's mouth twitched slightly.
Seeing that the "Admiral of the Star" did not respond, Anderson let his hands drop naturally and said:
“This sea area is very dangerous, but it also hides many treasures. I believe you two are also aware of this.
“There have been many adventurers, or more accurately, treasure hunters, who entered here in search of adventure, but most of them failed to make it out alive. Haha, I said most of them. There must be some lucky ones who were able to obtain items and materials and leave smoothly.
“This treasure hunting group was assembled by two treasure hunters with experience in this area. They claimed that they had figured out which ruins in the first half of the safe route could not be explored, which relics could be explored, which monsters should be hunted in what ways, and which out-of-control evil creatures must be avoided in what ways.
"I have always been curious about this place, and I was successfully persuaded by them to join their treasure hunt."
"And then?" The other person's figure was already reflected in the slightly dark purple eyes of "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya.
Anderson sighed and said:
“It started off smoothly, really smoothly. We avoided danger, got a lot of relics from previous explorers, killed some monsters, and harvested several materials.
"Everything turned around when we discovered a strange temple on a flooded island. There were many well-preserved murals there, which this gentleman had also seen in his dream world."
He pointed at Klein with his chin.
“That’s not the point,” Klein responded calmly.
Anderson shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"One of the murals is very bizarre, depicting a pilgrim group walking through parted waters.
“The leader of this group is depicted as an angel, with long silver hair down to his waist and soft features.
"I was the first to arrive in front of the mural. I stretched out my right hand and habitually drew some lines in the air. Really, I didn't touch it. There was at least 5 centimeters between me and the angel in the painting. Unexpectedly, it seemed that he opened his eyes at that moment."
...Your title of the strongest hunter must have been forced out because you got into so many troubles... Klein sneered silently without any sympathy.
"Silver-haired angel?" Cattleya asked back.
"Yes, but I don't know which angel this is. At least it has never appeared in any painting of the seven major churches. Of course, it may be added casually by the mural painter, and it may not be true." Anderson was about to raise his hand to smooth his hair, but he found that the man opposite him, wearing a round-necked shirt, a brown jacket, and a baseball cap, was staring at him coldly, as if he would attack without hesitation if there was any unusual movement.
But at this moment, Klein was thinking about something else:
"This guy is very professional in art. At least ordinary people can't understand so many religious paintings."
Having not received an effective answer, Cattleya immediately turned her head and looked at Klein with a questioning look in her eyes.
She just heard from Anderson Hood that German Sparrow had seen the mural.
Perhaps, the members of this organization blessed by the Lord could recognize which angel it was... "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya inexplicably felt that Gehrman Sparrow might really know the answer.
Thinking that Ms. Hermit could get the answer by just asking a random question at the next Tarot meeting, Klein did not hide anything and simply said:
"Ouroboros, the Tail-Eater."
The Tail-Eater Ouroboros? The Angel of Destiny? The Angel King? Cattleya pursed her lips unconsciously, and the purple in her eyes seemed to be more obvious.
The last time she heard this name was at the Tarot Club, thanks to Miss Justice’s information.
That was the first time she learned about the existence of the Angel King. Unexpectedly, she encountered clues in the real world just a few months later!
"Ouroboros, the Tail-Eater?" Anderson chewed on the name in confusion.
Klein didn't say anything else, as if to say, "I'm not interested in explaining."
Anderson saw that the "Admiral of the Star" did not speak, so he just laughed and continued:
“At the time I thought it was an illusion, because the mural never showed any abnormality again.
"Then, our team split into two parts. Most of them were frightened by my description and thought that they should not explore the temple. The remaining one-third were eager to gain more treasures, so they set out towards the depths of the temple. We waited for a whole day, waiting for three alternations of noon and night, but we didn't wait for them to come back.
"We are all excellent treasure hunters. We knew something must have gone wrong. After confirming it, we dared not stay or wait any longer. We immediately left the temple and returned by boat. We have gained enough and do not want to take any more risks."
Wait, you guys have no intention of rescuing your companions? Well, when members of this temporarily assembled adventure group encounter danger, they will definitely only care about themselves and their closest friends... Based on my experience, your missing companions may be eating the fingers of the corpse... Klein muttered a few words in his mind, but did not open his mouth to blame Anderson.
Anderson sighed again:
“After leaving the temple, we found that we had some strange changes. On the one hand, we became very unlucky. No matter what we did, it was not smooth. Even if we took a few sips of light beer quietly, we would find that someone had used the barrel as a toilet and urinated in it. Well, this was not my experience, but that of my companions.
"On the other hand, we gained control over ourselves in the dream. We were no longer in a confused state where we knew something but couldn't take any action. So, some of my companions, about one-third of the original number, curiously went deeper into the dream world. Haha, they never came back."
Cattleya, who had been listening quietly, asked:
"Where are their real-world bodies?"
"It transformed into a monster, killing many of our remaining companions and most of the sailors." Anderson took a deep breath. "Although we succeeded in killing those monsters, we did not reach the island before the storm due to a lack of sufficient sailors and a series of bad luck. Therefore, our ship sank, and our harvest also sank. The rest of our companions either drowned, were struck by lightning, or were eaten by the monsters in the water. I did not see everything with my own eyes.
"Only I, who was a little stronger and luckier than them, was thrown away by the waves and successfully swam to this island. I began to try to make a canoe to get out. Oh, you also saw that my last axe was broken and it was reflected in my dream."
Anderson's last words were directed to Klein.
What a bad-luck treasure hunting group... Klein drew a crimson moon for them in his mind.
He believed that Anderson's description should be true and his experience did not seem to be fabricated, but it was unknown whether he had concealed anything.
Maybe, Anderson really went to the depths of the temple and ate the corpse's finger, but came out thinking he was safe. Maybe, he had explored many places in the dream world and suffered subtle contamination in the dreams of some unknown creatures.
Anderson Hood finished telling his story and smiled at Admiral of the Stars Cattleya and the unknown person:
"Do I have the honor to ride on the 'Future'?
"I'll pay for the boat trip."
He looked like he was ready to let you name your price.
Cattleya turned her head again and looked at Klein, as if asking him whether he wanted to agree.
In other words, you are more inclined to agree? Don't you even do any review? I have to go to the gray fog to divine before I can give a clear answer. Why are you so confident? The "Secret Peeper" has reached the Beyonder ability of Sequence 5? Klein interpreted some information from the look from the "Hermit" Cattleya.
While he was hesitating and guessing, Anderson said hurriedly:
“I’m familiar with the route ahead!
"I can help you avoid the dangers lurking on the safe waterway, tell you which ruins you can't explore, and help you avoid the mermaid's song in time!"
“The singing of a mermaid?” Klein’s eyes almost lit up, and he managed to maintain the image of Gehrman Sparrow with great difficulty.
"Yes, it's another day's sail from here. I mean one day in the outside world. We'll go around a ruin and turn to..." At this point, Anderson suddenly realized something, smiled and closed his mouth, and said no more.
Klein thought for a moment, then took out a gold coin in front of Anderson and recited in a low voice:
"There's something wrong with Anderson Hood."
…
He repeated it seven times in a row, following the standard procedure of divination, but in fact he never expected an answer.
This is a test of the other party.
If Anderson really had a problem, he would have acted guilty. After all, he could not confirm Gehrman Sparrow's divination level and could not be sure that his interference would be successful.
clang!
The gold coin bounced up and down. Klein took a look and put it directly into his pocket.
"No problem."
Let’s go back above the gray fog to confirm… Klein added in his mind.
Cattleya then looked at Anderson and nodded:
"I agree to your request.
"But after leaving this sea area, you must give me half of your belongings. If you have nothing, then I don't want anything."
Anderson was silent for a few seconds, then smiled again and said:
"make a deal!"
After finding a way out, he obviously relaxed a little, and then smiled:
"Also, I must remind you that although my misfortune is limited to myself, you still have to be careful because I may attract monsters. Of course, I believe that with the combination of you, 'Admiral of the Stars', this gentleman and me, safety can still be guaranteed."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire island suddenly shook, and smoke and dust spread out from the primeval forest.
"Is there really a monster coming..." Anderson subconsciously opened his mouth.
