Seeing that Edwina's gaze had eased, Anderson curled the corners of his mouth, shook his head and sighed:
"You are always so rigid, so you will never be an artist in your life."
After casually sighing, he looked at the corpse on the chair on the ground and said:
"We can't just stand there and watch. We have to do something. Didn't Siatas want to find her people? Let's bury her near the elf ruins on Sonia Island. Mobet seems to want to be with Siatas, so let's put her in the same tomb.
"Doesn't Longzel want to go back to Backlund? Burn him into ashes, put him in a box, and take him to that metropolis. If we have time, we can look for his descendants. As for Snowman, we don't know whether he believes in the ancient sun god, the original creator, or the two are the same. Ha, it's the same for us. We definitely can't find a corresponding church or altar, so we can only bury him next to Groselle.
"Groselle... he should want to go back to the Giant King's Court, but this is a city that only exists in myths and legends. It can't be found in reality. However, there are some giant ruins in both the northern and southern continents. We can bury him there and let him rest in peace."
"Giant King's Court"... Backlund... Klein listened in silence, pondered for a few seconds and said:
"Give me the ashes of Groselle, Snowman, and Longzel."
He believed that after a period of time that was neither short nor too long, the City of Silver would explore the Giant King's Court. At that time, he could hand over the ashes of Groselle and Snowman to the little "Sun" and let him bury the two ancient figures along the way. Backlund was where Klein wanted to return to, and it was the end point of his journey. He could just bring back Longzel, who had been away from his hometown for more than 165 years.
Edwina then said:
"The 'Golden Dream' often goes to Sonia Island. I will be responsible for the bodies of Siatas and Mobet."
“Okay, you’ll be in charge of the cremation later.” Anderson turned to look at Danitz, half smiling and half sighing, “Look, everyone has their own place to play a role. There’s no need to feel inferior.”
He thought Danitz would not understand his relief and would glare at him again, but the famous pirate's expression suddenly dimmed and he nodded in silence.
"Well, as companions who have faced the 'King of the North' together, let's each pick one, as a way of inheriting their legacy." Anderson pointed his chin at the glimmering items on the floor, "Hehe, these Beyonder characteristics must have a small amount of their spirit left. I don't know what kind of impact it will bring. Whether it is mixed into magic potions or refined into items by craftsmen, they should have certain peculiarities. The former can be digested through the 'acting method', but the latter can't be dealt with. Ah, you don't seem to understand the 'acting method', so just ignore what I said."
His last words were addressed to Danitz.
Klein was in no mood to criticize Anderson. He looked at the four Beyonder Characteristics and said:
"Give me Siatas's."
This is exactly the main material of "Ocean Singer"!
Edwina thought for a moment and said:
"I'll take Snowman's."
This corresponds to "Priest of Light", and Klein already has one, so he did not choose it.
Anderson glanced at the remaining two Beyonder Characteristics, and his eyes stopped at the strange thing that looked like a baby's palm:
"I said, this guy is very interesting. Maybe he can make a magical item that can chat with me, so that neither of us will be lonely anymore."
At this time, there was still the "Giant's Heart" that had not been assigned to anyone. Klein glanced at Danitz and said indifferently:
"your."
“Me? I didn’t do anything. I didn’t participate in the battle…” Danitz was very surprised.
Klein said simply:
“You explored the path and took risks.”
For Klein, this was actually a kind of compensation, because Danitz had recited the name of The Fool and knew the secret of Gehrman Sparrow, so he had to be forced to become a follower of The Fool, otherwise there would be great hidden dangers.
Although this was one of the risks Danitz voluntarily took, Klein still wanted to make up for it. Of course, he hoped that Danitz would regard this as a gift from the Fool.
Whether it was exchanging Groselle's extraordinary characteristics for money, purchasing the corresponding formulas and materials, or making defensive magical items, it was very useful to Danitz.
"Take it." Edwina also looked at Danitz and said.
“…Okay.” Danitz was silent for a few seconds and nodded heavily.
After the distribution was completed, Klein took a few steps forward, bent down and picked up the Beyonder Characteristics left by Siatas. He saw the azure water in the transparent film swaying gently, and vaguely heard the beautiful singing of the elf again.
As soon as he stood up straight, he saw Danitz nodded, as if responding to someone's question, but no one spoke just now!
Klein's eyes swept across Edwina's expressionless face, suspecting that this "mystic mentor" was communicating with Danitz in a voice that no one else could hear.
Seeing that Danitz gave a positive answer, Edwina reached out and closed the "Groselle's Travels" on the table and handed it to Klein:
“This is my thanks.”
“You can defeat the Frost Dragon even without me.” Klein said without extending his hand, looking at the book bound with yellow-brown parchment.
"No, we will die together. We have no way to stop the final madness of the 'King of the North'. Besides, you are taking a great risk by entering the book." Edwina explained the reason carefully like a teacher. "My only request is that if you study its origin and principle, tell me the answer."
Klein was very curious about the secrets hidden in Groselle's Travels. Hearing this, he stopped refusing and reached out to take this magical book:
"good."
At this time, because the importance of the "Giant King's Court" became more and more prominent, he also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to buy the black iron key belonging to the giant worth 5,000 pounds, but he did not make this request immediately, lest Edwina think he was blackmailing her.
He planned to wait a few hours, or tomorrow, and then ask Vice Admiral Iceberg to borrow the key. He would first go above the gray fog to divine, confirm its value, and then pay for it.
Seeing that Anderson and Danitz had also picked up their own Beyonder characteristics, Edwina glanced at the gradually darkening sky and said to Klein:
"Where are you going next?"
“Baiam,” Klein answered calmly.
Edwina nodded:
"You can take the Golden Dream. We have plenty of spare rooms."
Klein nodded barely perceptibly and agreed.
Who doesn't like a free boat ride?
After dealing with the skeleton and tidying up the captain's room, Edwina walked to the door and opened it.
There was a sudden burst of surprised voice outside, and the atmosphere in the corridor soon became boiling.
"Okay, it's okay." Edwina looked around, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her cold expression.
With a loud bang, the crew cheered. The huge noise made Anderson couldn't help but curl his lips and frown.
"It's more exaggerated than I imagined..." His words were undoubtedly drowned out by the carnival-like noise.
After everything calmed down, Klein and Anderson, under the guidance of Danitz, left the captain's room and headed to the room on the other side of the same floor.
Anderson turned halfway around and looked back at where he was originally. He suddenly sighed:
“Is this the end?
"Although I've only known them for less than half an hour, guys I've fought with are always impressive. In the end, they just died inexplicably, all dead..."
Klein was silent for two seconds and said:
"This world is full of inexplicable deaths."
"...That's right." Anderson smiled. "So I have to be optimistic and enjoy life. If I face death one day, I must be calm and cool, without losing my demeanor, and greet it with the most handsome attitude."
Don't set a flag for yourself... Klein didn't say anything and entered the room that Danitz had opened. Anderson lived across from him.
Inside the room, Klein stood at the window, silently looking at the increasingly dark sea for nearly ten minutes before heading to the bathroom, walking four steps backwards, chanting a spell, and entering the gray fog.
Sitting on the high-backed chair that belonged to The Fool, he directly manifested the figure of The World and asked him to put on a praying posture:
"Great Mr. Fool, please tell Sun that I have obtained the formula for the Sequence 6 Notary potion he wants. I also have clues about the formula and main ingredients for Priest of Light. He can temporarily withhold payment and count it as a debt, and pay it all in the future."
Klein was preparing for his promotion to Sequence 4. Silver City had abundant resources, and there might be some main materials or auxiliary materials that were difficult to find at the moment. Therefore, since there was no urgent need for something, he planned to let the little "Sun" take care of it first.
The reason why he didn't tell him that he had obtained the potion formula and main ingredients of the "Priest of Light" was because he felt that this was too exaggerated, and he planned to wait until the little "Sun" had digested it almost completely before telling him.
After examining the materialized images twice, he transformed them into streams of light and cast them into the crimson star corresponding to the "sun".
Afternoon town.
Derrick, who had just finished patrolling the edge of the newly built camp, suddenly saw a blurry figure praying in the endless gray-white fog and deep red light.
Then, he heard the voice of "The World" and knew that he had the formula for his "Notary" potion.
"Mr. World is very efficient. He delivered the work within the time he promised. He also gave me clues about the formula and main ingredients of the Priest of Light potion!" Derrick was surprised and delighted.
He couldn't help but admire "The World" a little and hoped that he would have such ability and style in the future.
Above the gray fog, the busy “world” began to pray once again after Mr. Fool confirmed that the formula of the “Ocean Singer” potion was correct:
"Great Mr. Fool, please tell The Hanged Man that I have obtained the potion formula and the corresponding main ingredients of The Ocean Singer. I will give it to him at the next Tarot Meeting. Please consider what he can use in exchange."
