Sharf didn't notice the change in Alger's expression, and pointed at one of the "Original Moon" believers who was being "cremated" and said:
"His staff was also taken from me. It's called 'Sea Words'. It can release lightning at the target. When it's swung, it will create wind blades. In addition to these, it can also create large water balls and corrosive rain. It allows the holder to no longer be afraid of the pressure of the deep sea and can freely absorb oxygen from the water. At the same time, it can also be used as a magic wand to take people flying.
"There are three negative effects. First, it likes to sing. Every six hours, it will sing a song. The effect it produces does not distinguish between enemies and friends. It varies depending on the style of the song it chooses. Sometimes it makes people lose their minds, sometimes it shocks their souls, and sometimes it causes irritation and lowers their rationality. Of course, even if it does not last six hours, as long as you want it to sing, it is also happy to sing.
"Secondly, from what I just said, it can be seen that it has certain living characteristics, and it has a bad personality. It likes to trip the holder, whip him, and drag him down the stairs when he is not paying attention.
"Third, it will make the holder vulnerable to being struck by lightning, so in thunderstorms, either stay at home or don't carry it with you."
This is a seal made from Gehrman Sparrow's Sea Singer Beyonder characteristic. If he knew that you had already made it but let the followers of the Original Moon take it away, you would definitely be sold to someone in need in the form of Beyonder characteristics... Alger looked towards the dining table and saw a dark black cane inlaid with silver-white metal.
——In his understanding, no matter how serious other negative effects were, any magical item with living properties was considered a sealed item, because this in itself meant unpredictable dangers.
Seeing that "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya and her companions did not say that they could end it, Sharf had no choice but to make a bitter face and continue to take out the magical items:
"This dagger is called 'Poison Blade'. You can tell its effect just by the name. I don't need to describe it any more, right?
“Well, it can add a random poison to each damage. As for what it is, it depends purely on luck.
"It has little negative impact, except that it can lead to medical failure and a cumulative feeling of intoxication."
Sharf introduced several magical items in succession, and finally heard the "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya speak:
"Very good, I'll leave the rest to you."
Phew... Not bad, they left three pieces for me... Not only did Sharf not feel any resentment, but he sincerely felt that "Admiral of the Stars" was a really good person, as if he had some kind of psychological illness.
Cattleya then turned her head to look at The Hanged Man:
"You pick first."
She knew that Gehrman Sparrow of the World had magical items made by the Craftsman, so she asked the Hanged Man to pick out the crazy adventurer first.
Alger nodded, took the "Sea Words" cane and the "Gargoyle Glasses", and then indicated that the rest were spoils of war.
Cattleya thought for a moment and said:
"Pick one more and I'll keep the rest."
She was not too interested in the remaining magical items, because she already had two items that were powerful enough to match her identity, and later she got the "Judge's Button" and "Scales of Luck", and she no longer had any shortcomings in any aspect. In this case, considering the accumulation of negative effects, she would not take a second look at them or make replacements unless they were very useful or special types.
Of course, as a pirate general, she would never think that she had too many magical items. After all, some of them had to be handed over to the Moss Ascetic Order, and some of them had to be rewarded to her crew.
Alger was silent for a moment, and based on the items he already had and his own extraordinary abilities, he chose the "Poison Blade".
"Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya then ordered "Bloodless" Heath Doyle to move all the magical items that "Craftsman" Sharf had placed on the ground and the remnants of several "Original Moon" believers out of the house.
Then, she looked at the "craftsman" again, and her eyes, tinged with a hint of deep purple, reflected the other person's figure:
"Why do the followers of 'Original Moon' want to control you?"
Sharf's eyes flickered and he said:
"Isn't this a simple and intuitive thing? Let me make them magical items..."
Before he finished speaking, his heart skipped a beat when he was suddenly startled by the purple eyes that looked at him indifferently, and he quickly added:
"It seems that they have some plans that require the assistance of 'craftsmen'. I don't know what they are specifically because they haven't started yet."
Cattleya looked away as if she was thinking, made eye contact with the Hanged Man, and nodded.
They decided not to take the "craftsman" away today, and let him stay here to see what would happen next.
In other words, they hope to find out what plans the believers of "Original Moon" have by monitoring the "craftsmen".
In fact, as far as the "Hermit" and the "Hanged Man" were concerned, what the followers of the "Original Moon" were planning was not something they cared about too much. It was just a way for them to communicate with the "Mysterious Queen" and provide reference for the latter's decision-making in the extraordinary world. It was also a way to exchange this matter for contributions from the church, so they reached a consensus in an instant and prepared to conduct an in-depth investigation.
Of course, Alger, the "Hanged Man", has always believed in one philosophy:
The more intelligence you have, the more benefits you can gain in various situations!
After a brief silence, Cattleya said to the "craftsman" Sharf without changing her tone:
"Since you are already a believer of the 'Original Moon', there is no benefit for me to take you away."
Charles nodded repeatedly, indicating that you are right.
Cattleya paused for a moment, then changed the subject:
"However, I hope to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with you, so I need a few drops of your blood, which can help me find you at any time."
Charles's face was suddenly filled with bitterness, and his mouth moved a few times but he couldn't say no.
Huh... He exhaled suddenly and said:
"good."
After saying that, he picked up the paper cutter beside him and cut a cut on his forearm. A few drops of blood oozed out.
Cattleya then raised her right arm and gently lifted her palm upwards, allowing the few drops of blood to float up and fly towards her.
After observing the blood in his palm, the pirate general suddenly spoke again:
"What's your surname?"
"June," Sharf answered reflexively.
Cattleya said nothing, turned around, and walked out of the door, followed closely by the Hanged Man Alger.
The house soon became quiet. The "craftsman" Charles found a sofa and sat down. He did not move for a long time, as if he was still immersed in what had just happened and could not recover.
Nearly ten minutes later, he suddenly sat up straight and took out a small human-shaped statue from the inside pocket of his clothes.
The statue is brass in color, with a blank face and blood slowly seeping out from the inside and remaining on the outside.
Sharf quickly wiped the statue's face with a handkerchief, then heaved a long sigh, raised the corners of his mouth, and said silently to himself:
"Fortunately I have this 'Fate Doll'...
"Humph, let me see how you can find me through those drops of blood? And don't even think about cursing me!"
In the Bayam slums, on a street without street lights.
Alger, who was wearing a mask and hood, glanced at the "Hermit" next to him and said in a hoarse voice:
"Since Sharf escaped from the Steam Church, he has lived peacefully until now, which shows that he is not a fool. He can give you his blood so easily and without any resistance. He must have a way to avoid being tracked.
"Besides, he didn't mention why he was found by the followers of the 'Original Moon'."
Normally, those believers would definitely trace back to the source of the "werewolf" extraordinary characteristics, but "Craftsman" Sharf did not remind Alger last time.
Cattleya took out the heavy glasses and put them on her nose while saying in a similar tone:
“It’s not for tracking.”
Alger nodded thoughtfully, said goodbye, and turned into another quiet and dark alley.
He made several detours along the way, finding an opportunity to remove his disguise, then left Bayam, headed for the rebels' private port, and boarded the Blue Avenger.
His sailors had squandered their accumulated energy and money over the past few days and were now staying on the ship, waiting to go out to sea.
Seeing him coming back, one of the sailors stood up quickly and asked with a smile:
"Captain, have you had dinner yet?"
"Not yet, just prepare something simple for me." Alger had not had time to fill his stomach because he was busy on the move.
The sailor who was also a part-time cook responded immediately:
"Well, we got some fresh mushrooms from the jungle today. How about frying them for you in butter?"
…Alger’s face twitched slightly, and he shook his head with a normal expression:
"Just fry a steak, medium rare."
…………
East Balam, edge of the jungle.
Klein, who was carrying two secret dolls, was not in a hurry to go out. He entered the city and planned to get some dye to disguise the mask of "Admiral of Hell" Ludwell.
But before that, he had some other things to do.
That is to find helpers to explore the outskirts of Calderon!
Klein has never been a lone wolf, especially when facing danger. So, unless there is no other way, he will definitely invite strong people to help by sharing coordinates and paying a price, and will not rush in alone.
For him, the most important thing is to be able to get the materials he wants alive!
If it wasn't definitely impossible, I would have wanted to wait another week or two, holding a baby or pushing a stroller, and head to Calderón... Klein sighed to himself, took out his adventurer's harmonica, and played it.
Silently, the messenger lady Renette Tinicole walked out of the void carrying four heads.
Klein considered his words and said:
"I want to explore Calderon City recently. I have obtained its spiritual coordinates. I wonder if I can hire you to help? What's the price?"
The four blond, red-eyed heads of Reinette Tinicole opened their mouths one by one and said:
“No…” “I…” “Can’t…” “Enter.”
