Picking up the slender blood crystal and smelling the faint scent of sulfur, Klein vaguely felt the corrosive power contained within it.
"Legend has it that the abyss is the most polluting place. Even angels will fall and lose control there. Those who guard the abyss will eventually be assimilated by the abyss... The characteristics displayed by the 'Death Announcement' are quite consistent with this point. Hmm, a deepening of the 'Apostle of Desire'?" Klein let his thoughts wander.
Soon, he noticed a detail, that is, Gilchias swore allegiance to the "Death Report" instead of the "Undead King" Agaritu!
"Does this mean that the real 'Undying King' is actually the 'Death Announcement', and Agaritu is just its spokesperson, or the manager of the polluted objects? Ha, it is rumored that Agaritu is not a demigod and has not reached Sequence 4. He only became one of the Four Kings thanks to the 'Death Announcement'. If this is true, then his actual situation may be worse than I expected. He has no autonomy at all...
"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that he is a Sequence 4 and is in a cooperative relationship with the Death Announcement Number. The Devil is always cunning and likes to mislead others..."
Klein pondered for a few seconds and tried divination again to see if he could gain some insight into the use of the long blood crystal.
He wasn't worried that this would cause big trouble. Or rather, he was ready to face big trouble. Even if it connected him to the Demon King in the Abyss, it would at most be equivalent to a backlash like the True Creator or the Eternal Sun. Klein believed that the gray fog could still block and suppress it.
This is the first time, and the location will not be locked, so it’s not a big problem... And I just divined my past, and there is no danger, so the Death Announcer is definitely not a Sequence 0 demon... Hey, isn’t this obvious? If it is really a Sequence 0 demon, or a sealed item at the level of Angel King Amon, there is no need to avoid the combination of me, the Mysterious Queen, the Admiral of the Stars, and Anderson... Klein suddenly realized that he had just scared himself, so he began to seriously "dream divination".
In the gray world, he saw an area filled with thick black fog.
The monster made of huge dark lumps of flesh crawled closer, and an angry roar erupted from its cavity:
"The Whisperer!"
The scene changed, and an ancient altar splashed with blood appeared. Engraved on it were filthy words and symbols, as if shouting something.
The gray world broke apart, and Klein slowly opened his eyes and sat up straight.
He tapped his fingers on the edge of the mottled long table and muttered to himself silently:
"Does the 'Whisperer' mean that before the 'Death Announcement' became a Sealed Object, it was a 'Whisperer' from the Abyss, or is it a giant monster made of dark flesh lumps that was killed by the 'Whisperer' and became a Sealed Object?
“Haha, no matter what, there must be a ship involved in the end, otherwise it wouldn’t be solidified into what it is now.
"Hmm... Judging from the laughter that almost made people lose control, the 'Death Announcement' is likely to correspond to the 'Whisperer'. We can preliminarily judge that it is not a '0' level sealed item, otherwise the 'Undying King' should be the leader of the Four Kings... Maybe Sequence 3? And the combination of Agaritu and it is obviously not ideal, and the performance is not very high, it seems to be Sequence 4 at most...
"The altar with the filth and shouting meanings symbolizes that this blood crystal can be used to summon a high-level demon? For example, a 'whisperer'?"
Klein, who had no idea how to summon a high-level demon and had no intention of doing so, casually threw the slender blood crystal and the shining crystal left by the "Priest of Light" - Beyonder Characteristics into the pile of debris, and perfunctorily named the former:
The breath of the "Whisperer"!
After doing this, Klein cautiously tried another divination, which was to confirm whether he would be in danger tonight, the danger from the "Undead King" Agaritu.
In fact, he already had some expectations about the answer to the divination, which was that the "Immortal King" Agaritu would not go to the island!
This is because Toscart has a hidden demigod. Ordinary extraordinary people are not aware of it, but the "Four Kings" probably have a certain understanding of it. And Agaritu almost never has a head-on conflict with other demigods. It is not his style to forcibly enter the other's "territory".
Secondly, based on Klein's previous speculation, we can draw a conclusion: Agaritu didn't dare to leave the "Death Announcement" at all, and the "Death Announcement" couldn't sail ashore!
Sure enough, Crane had a very safe revelation for the night.
This meant he didn't need to change his appearance and move to another hotel.
…………
At around 9 o'clock the next morning, Klein had just walked to the restaurant on the first floor and found a seat to sit down when he saw Anderson Hood appear from nowhere and sit opposite him.
The strongest hunter used his fingers to comb his short golden hair, making it 30% to 70% again. He looked at Gehrman Sparrow and said with a chuckle:
"Amazing! In a one-on-three situation, they were able to hunt down Gilchias!
“The sight of you dragging the demon’s corpse downstairs has spread throughout the entire Toscat Port.
"Hey, it is said that all pirates carrying bounties have decided to stay away from your sight and not appear within 5 kilometers of you!"
Klein, who had almost given up drinking milk since he met Frank Lee, raised his hand and ordered a cup of coffee, a loaf of white bread, two slices of toast, a grilled pork sausage, and a dish of butter. He then responded very calmly:
"You have good intelligence skills."
Anderson laughed and said:
"This is a necessary quality for a hunter. Hey, the adventurers of Toscart are discussing a serious question: who is the strongest hunter?"
Anderson's smile froze when he saw Gehrman Sparrow looking up at him with a cold and ambiguous gaze. He said awkwardly:
“They all chose you.
"Haha, this is the Sonia Sea after all, not the Misty Sea."
Why did you add that last sentence? It's easy to get beaten like this... Klein asked casually:
"What else?"
"Huh?" Anderson suddenly felt that there was an obstacle in his ability to understand.
"What other information do you have?" Klein repeated it in more detail.
"And..." Anderson suddenly winked, "Mosona from the 'New Loen Party' mysteriously disappeared last night. He disappeared in his own room, protected by countless bodyguards! The official explanation is that Mosona is dead, possibly because of offering sacrifices to evil gods or summoning demons. Hey, no one believes this because the Storm Church received an anonymous letter that detailed Mosona's crimes and provided evidence."
He stared at Gehrman Sparrow, expecting this crazy adventurer to give him more information.
He clearly remembered that Gehrman Sparrow had asked who should be killed yesterday afternoon, and his answer was Mosona from the New Loen Party.
Klein said “hmm” and didn’t say anything extra.
Just then, a figure rushed into the hotel, looked around, and walked towards Klein happily.
He was the previous owner of the bar.
"Mr. Sparrow." The boss took off his hat with a dent in the middle and saluted. "It's been confirmed, but it will take two days to go through the process. After all, the amount is too huge. Haha, I know you will definitely leave today, so in order not to delay your trip, I decided to advance the bounty to you. Well, part of this is the working capital of the bar, and part of it is the debt I borrowed from several friends. Please count it."
He deliberately described it in such detail because he wanted to show his goodwill to Gehrman Sparrow, in addition to making money, and to befriend this crazy adventurer.
As for whether this would lead to revenge from the "Undead King", he was not worried. Oftentimes, Gilchies and his men would also collect the bounty through him - after all, it was the reward from fighting between pirates, and everyone would like to get some extra money. This was an unspoken rule at sea.
Klein counted the thick 6,000-pound bills, divided them into several stacks, put them into different pockets, and nodded:
"good."
The bar owner breathed a sigh of relief, looked around cautiously, and lowered his voice and said:
"You must be careful. The Undead King is very vengeful and may intercept your ship in the open sea."
He did not dare to say that he had channels to arrange for people to sneak into certain ships and leave secretly, for fear of being discovered by the "Undead King" and facing revenge.
“I know.” Klein replied nonchalantly.
The bar owner said nothing more, bowed again, and left the hotel restaurant.
"Do you have a way to leave?" Anderson looked at Gehrman Sparrow curiously.
“Guess.” Klein smiled politely.
Anderson twitched his lips and said:
“Seeing you are so confident, I feel relieved.
"Oh, by the way, the boat ticket will depart at 1:30 p.m.
"That's amazing! I thought earning 1,600 pounds a night was already amazing, but who knew..."
Klein did not respond and began to enjoy his breakfast.
Afterwards, he went out and bought a new set of formal clothes so that he would not be short of spare clothes.
Time passed by, and soon it was time to board the ship. Anderson took a newly bought suitcase, looked at Gehrman Sparrow beside him, and asked with a little anxiety:
"Just get on the boat like this?
"The Death Announcement should be in the open sea. The Future left yesterday after resupplying."
He felt that it was very unwise to leave and risk the wrath of the Undead King.
It's impossible for Gehrman Sparrow to be so crazy as to rush forward knowing that he will die... Unless, this is his trap... Anderson thought about it and had other guesses.
Klein didn't turn his head to look at him. He carried his suitcase and boarded the passenger ship directly.
His idea was simple. The Death Announcement should be able to sense that something was wrong with its aura. Given the Undead King's usual style, a forced attack was unlikely. If this assumption was wrong, then as long as the Death Announcement appeared on the horizon, Klein would go directly into the room, pray to himself, and then go above the gray fog to respond with his scepter to see who was stronger on the sea, the Whisperer or the Sea God!
Klein had not originally planned to do so. He wanted to use the ability of the "Scepter of Poseidon" to drive the creatures in the seabed, find an underwater "carriage", pull himself and Anderson, who were protected by numerous talismans, to the open sea, pull them out of the blockade of the "Death Announcement", and then quietly board the passenger ship with tickets.
However, considering that the sudden disappearance of the target of revenge might cause the Undead King to vent his anger on others and indiscriminately slaughter the passenger ship, after all, pirates do not have to abide by the law or have a perfect moral sense. After divination above the gray fog, Klein finally decided to leave in an upright manner.
