You don't need to tell me, I was almost certain just now... Hearing Anderson Hood's words, Klein muttered to himself calmly on the surface.
Ever since he first met Renette Tinicole in the spirit world and saw her huge real body and Gothic-style castle, Klein thought that she was no ordinary person. And the fact that the messenger had just almost killed the strongest hunter with ease made him believe without a doubt that she was a demigod, at least a Sequence 4!
A demigod helps me deliver letters just for a gold coin? Even if I use my toes to think, I know that things are not simple. The messenger must have other plans. Of course, it is not ruled out that I always encounter strange things, which makes her feel interesting. It just so happens that I have a lot of free time, so I play the role of a messenger...
Similar situations also include the flattery of "Magic Mirror" Arrodes and the goodwill of "Mercury Snake" Will Auceptin... No matter what, I still have to be cautious and not trust too much... Before I have a chance to discuss the relevant matters, I should not consider whether to play the harmonica when encountering danger. Maybe the messenger lady will tear me apart directly when she comes out... Klein thought a lot in an instant, but his expression remained indifferent. Facing the astonished Anderson, he just nodded slightly:
"This is none of your business."
...This guy is really mysterious! He actually has a demigod-level spirit creature as his messenger! Moreover, he casually knows a member of the Life School... No wonder he was so calm and composed after provoking the "Undead King"... No wonder the "Undead King" did not seek revenge and did not even show up! Anderson suddenly realized and could not help but look at Gehrman Sparrow carefully again.
“Hmm?” Klein glanced at the strongest hunter without any emotion.
Anderson quickly retracted his gaze, laughed dryly and said:
“I found that you are very suitable to be the protagonist of a portrait, the kind with a gloomy and dark background, which perfectly sets off your temperament.
"How about it? Would you like to consider it? I can help you draw a portrait. Believe me, I am a master in this area!"
Klein didn't listen to his nonsense at all. He took out his gold-cased pocket watch, opened it and took a look:
"Go back to your room. I'll join you in five minutes."
"Okay." Anderson responded with a smile.
After the strongest hunter left, Klein took out the Azik copper whistle and Will Auceptin's paper crane, then went into the bathroom and set up the ceremony.
After bringing Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina's pearl earrings above the gray fog, Klein sat at the head of the long bronze table, produced a pen and paper, and wrote down a simple divination statement:
"The whereabouts of Edwina Edwards."
Holding the paper and earrings, Klein leaned back in his chair, silently reciting the divination phrase while meditating to enter a dream.
First, the gray sky and earth occupied his "vision", and then a snow-covered plain came into his sight.
The howling blizzard enveloped everything, and the surroundings were foggy and deep, not like a real border.
Klein quickly saw Edwina's figure. Her long brown hair was tied into a simple knot at her head, and then danced wildly in the wind and snow.
She was wearing a white waist-hugging shirt with intricate patterns on the collar and cuffs and a pair of dark trousers. In such an environment, she looked very thin.
Edwina's feet in leather boots kept moving on the snow, leaving a row of obvious footprints, but all of this was easily buried in the raging blizzard.
The image gradually shattered. Klein opened his eyes and found that he could not interpret the specific location of "Vice Admiral Iceberg" from the divination revelation just now.
“The polar regions? Feysac’s Eternal Night Plains? I can’t be sure at all. Apart from the wind and snow, there are no other symbols…” Klein sat up straight and put down the pearl earrings and the paper with the divination words.
He thought for a few seconds and confirmed another thing, that is, Edwina Edwards was indeed missing and was not on the "Golden Dream", which preliminarily ruled out the possibility of a trap.
Klein carefully made a divination about the matter and concluded that there were no traps on the "Golden Dream".
After thinking for a while, he left the mysterious space above the gray fog, and after some busy work, brought the pearl earrings back.
Recalling the map of the sea area near Oravi Island and the current location of the Golden Dream, Klein selected a deserted island where ocean-going fishermen took shelter from storms. In his letter, he asked Danitz and others to sail the ship to a place that was not too far away.
After folding the letter, he played the harmonica and once again saw the messenger lady carrying the four heads.
As he handed over the reply, Klein coughed twice and said:
"Can you still determine Danitz's location?"
One of the heads in Renette Tinicole's hand nodded, and the others spoke one after another:
"You can..." "As long as..." "Within the scope..."
Klein saw that the messenger was still floating there with no sign of leaving, so he glanced at the side and said:
"The gold coin was paid by Danitz."
"Okay..." Renette Tinicole's figure quickly faded away.
Huh, Klein exhaled. After careful preparation and handling of the scene, he walked out of the room with his packed luggage and knocked on Anderson Hood's door.
“Let’s go to another place first, and then to Bayam.” He calmly told the strongest hunter his decision. “You can choose to go to Bayam and wait for me, or follow me.”
Anderson said with a smile:
"I feel my adventurer's blood burning, and I am curious about what the messenger will bring.
"I originally thought I would never get the chance to find out, but you actually invited me!"
I didn't, I just gave you two options... Klein turned indifferently and walked towards the stairs. Anderson hurriedly picked up his newly bought suitcase and followed quickly behind him.
After leaving the hotel, Klein took a carriage out of the port city and walked to the edge of an uninhabited cliff on Mount Saint Draco.
Looking at the waves crashing against the mountain wall below, Anderson looked around in astonishment:
"Is this our destination?"
Klein ignored his question, took out a handful of talismans made of tin, and chanted the spell "Storm" in a low voice.
He infused them with spirituality and divided the spells into two, giving half to himself and the other half to Anderson, leaving only one and throwing it down the cliff.
"Underwater breathing, deep sea water membrane..." Anderson was amazed as he identified the additional supernatural effects on his body.
At this moment, there was a loud splash from the bottom of the cliff, and a huge creature shaped like a whale emerged from the sea.
Its entire body was dark blue, and its mouth was suddenly open, revealing its white teeth and bloody interior.
Klein walked to the edge of the cliff and jumped down. With the help of the power of the talisman, he landed lightly into the mouth of the giant underwater creature.
Anderson looked at him blankly at first, then jumped down excitedly and landed next to Klein.
The huge sea creature closed its mouth, making it completely dark inside.
Then it sinks into the water and swims towards its intended target.
In its mouth, Klein's eyes flashed with lightning. He saw through the darkness, found a tooth to lean on, and sat down leisurely.
Because of the protection of the "deep sea water membrane", he is not worried about his clothes getting dirty.
"Hey, that's interesting..." Anderson looked around and asked curiously, "How did you come up with this idea? How did you do it?"
Of course, he prayed to himself, and then used the "Poseidon's Scepter" to pull the appropriate underwater creatures nearby over... Klein did not answer Anderson's question, but half-closed his eyes, as if he was resting.
"It's just a little stuffy..." Anderson took out a cigarette box and matches from his pocket, "Can I have a cigarette?"
“Ask it.” Klein didn’t open his eyes.
Anderson laughed dryly and put the cigarette and matches back.
"I don't think it would like the smell of cigarettes."
In the dark and lightless sea, this huge creature swam quickly, using special organs from time to time to extract oxygen from the surrounding water very efficiently.
After an unknown amount of time, it surfaced and saw a deserted island in front of it.
After using the power of the spell to reach the deserted island, Klein took off his hat and saluted the underwater creature.
"You are very polite..." Anderson said with amusement after witnessing this scene.
"I've always been polite, even when facing my prey." Klein glanced at the other person, as if to say, for example, you.
Anderson laughed dryly and pointed to the other side of the deserted island.
“There’s a ship there.
"Hey, the 'Golden Dream'!"
At this moment, Klein also saw the clean and tidy sailboat that was dozens of meters long. The main gun that shouldn't have appeared had overlapping symbols and flowing light.
He immediately picked up his luggage and moved closer. It didn't take long before he arrived at where the "Golden Dream" was docked.
Then, he saw Danitz jump off the deck and wade over.
Danitz had just arrived in front of Gehrman Sparrow and was considering how to start the conversation when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
"Anderson Hood!" He pointed at the strongest hunter and shouted.
Anderson burst into laughter:
"You never expected that?"
Although he didn't know why he encountered the "Golden Dream", it didn't stop him from taking the initiative.
Know him? Klein glanced at Danitz indifferently.
Danitz shuddered instinctively, then put on a smile and said:
“This guy is not a good person. He was always hunted by a group of pirates in the Misty Sea. Then, those pirates became bounties for unknown reasons.
"You may not know that he was born in the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. Later, he was expelled because he repeatedly failed the exams. I heard all this from the captain. They used to be classmates."
He had an expression that showed contempt for Anderson's intelligence, and "Flower Tie" Johnson and others on the boat also made similar expressions.
Anderson's eyes slowly swept across their faces, and he said with a sigh:
"That's not the point. The point is that I once pulled your captain's hair!"
The scene suddenly became very quiet, and Danitz's expression twisted uncontrollably.
