Weird Mage... Klein suddenly woke up from his dream and opened his eyes to see the dark night.
It’s not even noon yet, it’s still dangerous… He muttered to himself and was about to fall asleep again.
At this time, he finally remembered that he had left the dangerous sea area, and he would not disappear completely if he did not sleep after dark.
"Huh, this kind of peaceful environment is still good! I have to say, the fact that if you don't sleep after dark, you will mysteriously disappear can be used to scare children so that they don't dare to stay up late. Hey, I was often scared like this when I was a child." Klein turned over and sat up, walked to the desk, and poured himself a glass of water.
He calmed down for a while, drank a sip of water, and gradually regained his ability to think:
"Zaratul is really crazy... What happened to him, or what went wrong with him...
"'Trickster', Sequence 4 is called 'Trickster', and the focus of the 'Fortune Teller' path is on words like 'trickery', 'cunning', 'mischief', and 'strange'? Or can it be simply summarized as 'weird'?
"Well, the 'clown', 'magician', 'faceless man' and 'master of secret dolls' all give me this feeling. The 'fortune teller' seems to be an exception, but in the eyes of others, the charlatan style can sometimes be quite weird and scary... So, Zaratul said that destiny is not the main field of this path?
“Also, it is obvious that the extraordinary people on this path will be more inclined to be spellcasters.
"According to Will Auceptin, there are only three ways to get the formula for the 'Strange Mage' potion. One is to find the Secret Order and the crazy Zaratul. The second is to go to the main peak of the Hornachis Mountains to look for the treasure left by the Antigonus family. The third is to obtain it from within the church. For example, the Antigonus family notebook may record the corresponding formula.
"But each of these three paths is more dangerous than the other. According to Emperor Roselle's description, Zaratul was a Sequence 2 'Miracle Master' a long time ago, a true angel, and later he might have been promoted to Sequence 1, equal to or slightly inferior to the Angel Kings. He is crazy, no, 'Him', although he has lost his mind, he is probably more difficult to deal with. At least he has no possibility of persuasion or deception. With pure strength alone, even if I ask Mr. Azik and others for help, we will not be Zaratul's opponent.
"Haha, unless Will Auceptin is born, but if He gets involved in this kind of thing, there is a high possibility that He will attract the attention of the 'Angel of Destiny' Ouroboros.
"As for the treasure on the main peak of the Honachis Mountains, the whispers of the ghost, the arrangements of the Antigonus family, and the rumors of the Kingdom of Darkness buried deep in history all make me feel that things are not that simple. I suspect this may be a trap.
"Don't even think about the Goddess Church. For one thing, there is an angel in charge of the temple, which hides a bunch of Level 0 Sealed Objects. In the Backlund Diocese where the Antigonus family notes are located, there is also a terrifying demigod..."
Klein couldn't help but think back to Mr. A who was erased like a pencil drawing. The person who caused all this was most likely a high-ranking member of the Church of the Evernight Goddess!
A beautiful woman with eyes that lacked spirituality... She even smiled at me, but I didn't know what she meant... Klein shook his head helplessly, thinking that there was only one most feasible solution at the moment.
That is to find a relatively normal demigod in the secret society!
Compared to the crazy Zaratul, at least he can communicate, and he can even deal with something that Klein certainly can't do alone, but he can ask Mr. Azik for help, and he can pay a certain price to ask the "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette to take action.
This is the only way to think about it for now... Klein quickly turned his thoughts to how to help Anderson Hood break the curse of bad luck:
"It has been more than two months, and I don't know if the 'Member of Fate' Rejord has left Oravi Island. He hasn't summoned my messenger to tell me the clues of the magical items that meet the requirements. However, this is not a big problem. The bell ringer Kano has definitely not left his post, so I can contact Councillor Rejord through him.
“That’s fine. The Life School has never completed the requirements, which is equivalent to not paying the balance. Let them help Anderson with the transportation to offset the difference. Then I will ask that guy for compensation.
"Haha, speaking of magical items or sealed items with powerful attack power, isn't Anderson's dagger one of them? According to the characteristics of the 'Reaper', the items formed after his death can also be considered... Hey, I'm not a greedy devil. I will definitely pay an extra settlement fee."
Klein suppressed his mischievous thoughts, took out the paper crane from his wallet, opened it, and carefully wiped the pencil marks on it.
"It's really about to break. It can only happen twice more..." He whispered in disappointment, then folded the paper cranes, walked back to bed and continued to sleep. As for using the radio receiver to contact the "Magic Mirror" Arrodes, he planned to do it after leaving this pirate paradise in the east.
…………
After dawn, Klein got up lazily and washed up slowly, thinking that this was how life should be.
Boom boom boom!
A knock on the door interrupted his sigh.
There was no need for a premonition of danger. His spiritual intuition told Klein that the person coming was Anderson Hood.
As expected of the strongest hunter, he has survived until now... Klein clicked his tongue, controlled his expression, and opened the door.
Anderson wore a deerstalker hat that he had gotten from somewhere, and handed over a Loen gold coin with a smile:
"Yesterday's debt."
Klein took the gold coin, weighed it and said:
"Your question has an answer."
Anderson's eyes lit up and he said:
“Is there any solution?
"You won't tell me that the answer is that there is no solution..."
Am I such a person? At most, I can say that there is no hope. Wait for death. Goodbye! Klein muttered to himself, glanced at the other person indifferently and said:
"There is a demigod who is good at transferring fortunes and lives on the island of Oravi. He owes me a request."
"Very good!" Anderson did not hide his joy. "So, what price should I pay?"
You're very sensible... Klein deliberately remained silent for two seconds before saying:
"I need a magical item with powerful attack power, do you have any clues?
"If the value exceeds the transfer ceremony, I will pay the difference."
Anderson frowned a little, then slowly opened his brows, smiled and said:
"There is a magical item that meets your requirements. It has extraordinary abilities such as lethal attacks, and its negative effects are not strong. It can eat and sleep, but its luck is not very good. It easily attracts monsters and enemies. It is sometimes talkative and a bit annoying. Haha, just kidding.
"To be honest, my 'Short Fang of Death' is the magical item you need, but it's also the only weapon I have left. Um... I have a corresponding clue. It's a special revolver. The bullets it fires have the effects of weak point attack, fatal attack, and 'massacre', and can be used with bullets of different characteristics. The negative effect is that after each use, you will gain a weakness that didn't exist before, such as fear of light, fear of ships, fear of dogs, etc., etc., and such a weakness will last for 6 hours.
"If you just put it on your body, there is almost no negative effect. It just makes you thirsty, which is tolerable. If the characteristics of this revolver were not the same as my abilities and the magical items I already have, I would definitely buy it at that time. The seller's asking price was only 9,000 pounds!
"How about a total reward of 1,500 pounds plus the clue to this revolver?"
It sounds suitable, and it fits my fighting habits... Klein did not agree directly, but asked:
"1,500 pounds?"
"Haha, I found more than a dozen pirates yesterday. They were all very kind. They either contributed their wallets to me or lent me their characteristics and brains. In just one night, I earned 1,600 pounds. I really like this pirate paradise!" Anderson said with a smile, "I have to keep 100 pounds to buy a boat ticket back to the Misty Sea, so I can only pay 1,500 pounds."
Earned 1,600 pounds in one night? Not only are there many pirates in Toscat, but they are also very valuable, or very rich? Klein suddenly wanted to stay in this port city for a few more nights.
But thinking that the targets that were easy to cash out or find had probably been dealt with by Anderson, it would definitely not be so easy to do similar things next time. He felt frustrated again and asked coldly:
"Aren't you afraid of retaliation for doing this in a pirate's paradise?"
"What is there to worry about? Even if they are subordinates of the pirate general, I am not afraid. Haha, I believe you are the same. If they are the people of the Four Kings, it will not be a big problem. We are about to leave, and the transmission of news takes time. By that time, I don’t know how many ships and how many identities I will have changed!" Anderson said nonchalantly.
Why are you cursing yourself again... Klein glanced at him with pity:
"make a deal."
"Haha, this is 300 pounds. The remaining 1,200 pounds will come later when the bounty and special money come in. Don't worry, they will definitely come in today, and the amount is not large." Anderson took out a thick stack of Suler bills mixed in and handed it to Klein.
Klein, who was considerate of his character, only roughly counted the money and stuffed it into his wallet and pockets. He said without emotion:
"Go buy two tickets to Oravi tomorrow."
He did not specifically tell Anderson to change his appearance to buy it, because he believed that the person in front of him was a mature hunter who must be experienced.
If he wasn't experienced and strong, with his behavior, he would have been sunk to who knows where in the ocean... Klein couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Okay." Anderson pointed to the floor. "Would you like to go downstairs for breakfast? It's my treat."
Klein nodded and did not refuse.
After going down to the first floor, the two walked towards a table by the window. On the way, they met a waiter passing by with a white glazed porcelain cup and teaspoon.
When the two sides just met, the waiter's eyes suddenly became dazed. He picked up the teaspoon and inserted it into Anderson's throat without any warning.
Although Anderson was surprised, his reaction was not slow at all. He immediately leaned back and avoided the thundering attack.
Bang!
The hotel owner not far away suddenly fired a shot, shooting at Anderson's dodging body.
"I, what am I doing..." After the gunshot, the boss whispered with fear and confusion on his face.
