Chapter 24 Weather Museum



Klein had already gotten a rough idea of ​​Danitz's personality. He didn't ask what the legends were. He just sat in his chair and looked at him calmly.

Danitz shook his head without being interrupted:

"Legend has it that more than three hundred years ago, when Loen's army first occupied this island, more than five hundred soldiers mysteriously disappeared after a thick fog. Not long after, many white bones appeared on the beach and on the mountain. Similar things happened several times until the Storm Church built a church here and sent a bishop."

Although historians attribute the official opening of the colonial era to the Roselle fleet finding a safe passage to the southern continent, in fact, for a long time before that, the countries of the northern continent had explored the surrounding waters and colonized some islands, but these actions were not large enough to take root.

Mysteriously disappeared in the fog... Bones appeared on the beach and on the mountain... Klein inexplicably thought of the "God-Forsaken Land". According to the description of the little "sun", there is no sun there, only lightning and darkness. When humans are "enveloped" by darkness without a trace of light, they will encounter strange or terrifying events.

Danitz looked at the lighthouse that stood out in the sunset and continued:

“According to tombs and murals discovered on the island, the indigenous people here seem to have a tradition of cannibalism.

"This island is located in an area with intense climate change. It often encounters earthquakes, storms and fog. These disasters have brought disasters to the natives time and again. In order to survive, they began to worship the 'weather god' they created. Four ceremonies are held every year. The content of the ceremony is to kill the selected god's favored one, share his blood and flesh, and bury his head on the altar.

"However, similar traditions have long been replaced by storm rituals, and the original language of the local indigenous people has also disappeared."

The God of Weather... a conquered island that once preserved the tradition of human sacrifice... Klein made a preliminary judgment.

Danitz retracted his gaze and said casually:

“Because of these legends, Bansi Port has two unique customs. One is that on foggy nights or when the weather changes drastically, people should close their doors tightly, not go out, and not respond to knocking sounds.

"Another thing is that they love the blood of various animals. They learned from the migrating elves how to add salt to it, which makes the blood coagulate into strange lumps. When combined with several local spicy seasonings, it is tender and fragrant."

Isn't this blood curd? Klein was stunned for a second, then turned his doubts into a frown and said:

"Elf?"

According to the stereotype he formed in his previous life, elves should be elegant vegetarians. How could they study the correct techniques for consuming blood and the hundred ways to cook blood curd?

"Yes, it is rumored that many elves like coagulated blood." Danitz spread his hands and replied, "Unfortunately, it is difficult to encounter creatures that are good at cooking now."

...Little "Sun" mentioned that the Elf King Sonyathorem, the ancient god, holds the power of storms. The elves should be similar to the Beyonders of the "Sailor" path... Well, it seems that it is not incomprehensible that the elves like blood-based food... Maybe they also generally have the attribute of being irritable... The picture is quite beautiful... Klein's thoughts raced, and he gradually shifted his attention to "blood sausage".

I haven’t eaten for a long time... He had the idea of ​​getting off the boat to taste the food.

At this time, Danitz took the initiative to propose:

"There's a famous green lemon restaurant here, the pig's blood is especially delicious, would you like to try it?"

He always felt that it was dangerous to stay alone in a room with Gehrman Sparrow, fearing that this monster in human skin would suddenly go crazy.

In a crowded place, he should be more restrained... Storm above, may this journey end soon! Danitz prayed without much confidence.

As a pirate, he also believed in the Lord of Storms, but lacked sufficient respect for the church.

Upon hearing Lieyan's proposal, Klein, who already had the intention, was moved.

However, the legends and customs the other party told him always made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he took out a gold coin and did a divination in front of Danitz.

The result was that for him, there was no hidden danger in Bansy Harbor.

Hmm... Klein stared at the gold coins in his palm for several seconds without moving his eyes away. He still felt unsure.

When Danitz saw this scene, he suddenly realized that the monster in front of him was good at divination.

This... Even if I sneak away, I will be easily found... "Lieyan" felt frustrated, and a faint sadness emerged in his heart.

Just as he adjusted his mood, Klein suddenly stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

Before closing the door, Klein turned back expressionlessly and said:

"You can take this opportunity to escape."

After saying that, Klein slammed the bathroom door shut.

Danitz opened and clenched his hands, took two steps towards the door and finally stopped.

The unknown was the most terrifying. Before he found out what other extraordinary abilities Gehrman Sparrow had, he did not dare to risk exacerbating the conflict.

At least, at least he was kind and didn’t do me any real harm... When I get to Bayam, he should let me go... Danitz thought of luck.

In the bathroom.

Klein pulled out the paper man, disguised himself, and walked four steps backwards into the gray fog.

He sat at the head of the long bronze table, took off the pendulum from his left wrist, and wrote the corresponding divination sentence:

"There is a hidden danger in Bansi Harbor."

He lowered his pendulum, assumed a posture, and chanted several times. Then, he opened his eyes and saw the yellow crystal pendant rotating clockwise with a huge amplitude and at an extremely fast speed!

This means that for Klein, Bansy Harbor is posing a great danger!

How could this happen? This place has been colonized by the kingdom for more than three hundred years, and has been an important port on the main trade route for hundreds of years. There has never been any rumor of danger... Could it be that several powerful pirates are working together to rob this port? No, those coastal defense guns are not just for show... Klein frowned in confusion and divined again whether he would encounter any disasters related to pirates in the near future. The answer is no.

Hmm... He was silent for a few seconds, wrapped himself in spirituality, and fell into the gray fog.

Back in the real world, Klein pressed the mechanical button on the toilet, put away the paper doll, and went to the washbasin next to him to wet his hands.

During this short period of time, he quickly sorted out his thoughts and decided to hide if he could and to stay calm.

After taking out a tissue and wiping his hands, Klein opened the door and went out. He saw Danitz still standing in the middle of the living room.

A pirate who is so cautious that he is a bit cowardly... In a sense, Vice Admiral Iceberg's subordinates are all adventurers who are part-time pirates... Klein looked at him and said calmly:

"To the first-class dining room."

“…Okay.” Danitz didn’t understand why Gehrman Sparrow suddenly changed his mind, but ultimately chose not to argue.

…………

After walking down the gangway and getting off the ship, Cleves suddenly said to Donna and the others:

“You guys go to Green Lemon Restaurant first.

"I have something to ask Captain Ireland. I'll catch up soon."

"Okay." Although Uldi Blanche was surprised, he didn't feel too confused.

Cleves got back on board and met Ireland, who was wearing a straight sword on his waist, halfway.

“I’m going to visit Gehrman Sparrow.” Cleves said this and turned to head to the first-class cabin area.

Ellan was confused for a moment, not understanding the other party's intention of coming here suddenly.

You don’t need to tell me about your visit to Gehrman Sparrow… Ellan was stunned for two seconds, and vaguely grasped Cleves’s true intention.

He was telling me that if, if he had an accident, it must be because of visiting Gehrman Sparrow... But if he was fine, it meant that his suspicion was wrong and there was no need to disturb Gehrman Sparrow again... Ellan stopped and said to the first mate beside him:

"Wait a quarter of an hour."

…………

Boom boom boom!

Klein and Danitz were about to go out when they heard rhythmic knocks on the door.

Responding to the eye contact, Danitz walked over quickly and opened the door.

It was Cleves outside. He stared at Danitz, who had changed his makeup again, and turned to Klein and said,

"'Flame' Danitz?"

During lunch, he felt that Gehrman Sparrow's friend looked strange and familiar, but he did not connect him with the photo on a certain bounty order. When Donna deliberately mentioned Danitz, he suddenly had an inspiration and found that the two looked very similar.

As expected... Klein was about to nod his head in response, but Danitz took the lead and said with a smile:

"My friend, you've got the wrong person. Although I look very similar to that famous pirate worth 3,000 pounds, I am definitely not him. There have always been people who have made such misunderstandings, which have caused me great trouble."

Klein raised his hand and covered his mouth. He almost laughed out loud, ruining his character.

He restrained his expression and replied calmly:

"Yes."

Oh... my reputation... Danitz craned his neck and looked at the ceiling.

“What are you going to do?” Cleves took a silent breath and asked directly.

Klein moved his chin slightly and pointed at Danitz:

"Guard him."

“Guard?” Cleves could not understand Gehrman Sparrow’s words.

Sir, you have to learn to associate and infer on your own. I can't give a detailed explanation. This doesn't fit my personality! Facing Cleves's puzzled eyes, Klein said lightly:

"He boarded the ship at Damir Harbor. I recognized him and decided to keep an eye on him to prevent any accidents."

After staring at Klein for a few seconds, Cleves nodded and said:

“Is it okay?

"Do you need help?"

“No need.” Klein responded calmly.

Cleves glanced at the depressed Danitz, stepped back and said:

"Then I'll take my leave."

Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Gehrman Sparrow. He heard the mysterious young adventurer say solemnly:

“Get back to the ship as soon as possible.

"There is a hidden danger in Bansi Harbor."

…………

In the Green Lemon Restaurant, Donna had just laid out the napkin when she saw Uncle Cleves rushing downstairs through the window.

At this time, the weather at the port suddenly changed, and strong winds blew, causing the trees to sway.

Bansi Port is worthy of being called the "Weather Museum"... Donna looked at the scenery outside with great interest.

She saw a man in a black cloak holding a lantern, struggling forward in the wind.

As if aware that he was being watched, the man turned his body sideways, raised his head and looked towards the second floor of the restaurant.

Donna then saw the other person's appearance clearly, and saw that the man in the black cloak had an empty head, with only a bare neck from which bright red blood was flowing.

The man buried himself again, pulled his cloak, and continued to move forward.
