After the pressure was relieved, Klein casually pulled a chair over and placed it at the door, sitting across the hall from the "King of the Five Seas" Nast.

Although the pirate king was over 1.9 meters tall and sat on a black semi-high platform, looking down on others, Klein did not feel inferior at all and put on his tall hat again.

After a brief silence, Nast, who had the legitimate title of Earl Baifeng, spoke majestically:

"Give me a reason to answer your question."

Klein leaned back leisurely with his thin body and said:

"The reason is that when you need to trade with me in the future, you won't have to hear similar requests."

The dark red light in Nast's black eyes jumped, and he said:

"I basically know all the saints still active in this world, but this does not include you."

Klein stroked the feather mask covering his face, smiled, and asked instead of answering:

"Have you seen Zaratul?"

"I have seen Him twice in the court of Emperor Roselle, and have also come into contact with many members of the secret society." Nast, the "King of the Five Seas", answered in a straightforward but extremely majestic tone.

There are quite a few members of the secret society... I'll introduce them to everyone when I have time... Klein couldn't help but mutter a few words in his heart.

He then smiled and said:

"I have also seen Zaratul."

Nast raised his hand and stroked his short black beard. His already tall figure seemed to expand a little, making the entire captain's room heavy and dark.

After several seconds, he looked down at Klein and said:

“My impression of Emperor Roselle is very simple:

"No one is more suitable to be the 'Black Emperor' than Him."

He did not explain the specific meaning and direction of the "Black Emperor", and did not care whether the demigod opposite him could understand it.

I see... From the words of the "King of the Five Seas", although the emperor showed in his diary that he made up his mind to turn to the "Black Emperor" path in his later years and made corresponding preparations, in fact, he had a certain understanding and tendency very early on, which was unconsciously revealed, and he made a lot of arrangements in advance... Klein thought suddenly.

He believed that this was how the "King of the Five Seas" Nast understood Emperor Roselle. After all, he had only met him twice, so he asked:

"Did the emperor ask you or your father to do anything secret in his later years?"

The spire crown on Nast's head shook, and he said in a low voice:

“Someone once asked me the same question.”

Klein laughed and made a bold guess:

"Bernadette?"

"Yes." Nast held both sides of the iron-black throne with his hands and said, "At that time, she was still very young and immature, but she actually asked such a question. With the status and level of Emperor Roselle in his later years, is there any secret matter that can be entrusted to me and my father to do, which can be kept more secret than if He planned it himself and acted in secret?"

This is saying that I am as immature as Bernadette back then... Klein sighed and laughed:

"For those who care about this matter, they are unwilling to give up even a glimmer of hope."

This is why he used illusion to hide the passenger ship and still came to see the "King of the Five Seas".

He wanted to look for clues about the light gate above the gray fog in the real world. In addition to trying to confirm who the third traveler was, he also had to conduct an in-depth investigation into the matter of Emperor Roselle. This was an inevitable choice!

The dark red light in the eyes of "King of the Five Seas" Nast shrank and expanded again:

"What is your relationship with Emperor Roselle?"

Klein thought for a moment and sighed:

"We are old friends, I guess."

After all, above that mysterious light door, even if the cocoons of the two people were not "laid out" left and right, they were only separated by an obstacle and hung together for hundreds and thousands of years.

This is a relationship on a practical level, but on a psychological level, Klein, who has read so many of the emperor's diaries, has unknowingly regarded the other party as a real fellow countryman, who shares the same emotional destiny and identity with him.

Nast stared at the book-like demigod sitting at the door for a while, then retracted his gaze and spoke in a low voice:

"Any other questions?"

Klein was well prepared and asked at a leisurely pace:

"In your mind, what is so unusual about Emperor Roselle in his later years?"

Nast, with wrinkles on his forehead, was silent for a long time and said:

“I don’t know much about Him, and I can’t find anything unusual.

"The only thing that I found strange was that when my father and I met Him several times, He would stand in front of the French window on the west side and gaze into the distance. This happened sometimes in the morning, sometimes at noon, and sometimes in the evening. And that room did not only have that row of French windows."

"To the west... in the distance... the foggy sea?" Klein asked as if he was talking to himself or seeking confirmation.

He remembered the mysterious primitive island mentioned by the emperor in his diary, and the abyss hidden somewhere in the misty sea.

"King of the Five Seas" Nast nodded slightly and said:

“That’s my guess as well.”

Huh... Klein exhaled silently, thought about it, stood up and said:

“I have asked all my questions, please forgive my intrusive visit.

"Count, I wonder what kind of transaction I can help with?"

He is fulfilling the promise he made just now.

Nast, the "King of the Five Seas", was silent for two seconds and said:

"Find me the Blasphemous Card that corresponds to the Black Emperor."

For a moment, Klein suspected that the Pirate King was testing him, but he immediately felt that it was difficult to connect a demigod of unknown origin with the holder of the "Black Emperor" card, so he smiled and said:

“I will try my best.

"However, the question you asked just now is not worth a 'blasphemous card'. If I can obtain it, I will trade its contents with you item by item. Of course, I may only be able to provide clues to the card."

Nast stroked the armrest of the iron-black throne and responded without emotion:

"that's all."

Klein took off his hat again, saluted, then opened the door and left, returning to the deck.

Under the gaze of Viscount Fear Bird Mustang and others, he raised his arms.

His body shrank rapidly and the feather mask on his face spread out. In just two or three seconds, he turned into a normal red-headed sea eagle.

The red-headed sea eagle immediately flapped its wings and flew obliquely into the dark wind and rain, disappearing from the sight of the pirates of the Black Emperor.

This is the demigod... Bird Mustang looked up at the sky and sighed.

Although once one reaches Sequence 5 and takes one step further, the tendency towards madness and loss of control will become more serious, resulting in a high probability of failure in the Beyonder's promotion, the title of demigod is still tempting, because as long as one successfully takes that step, one can obtain divinity and change the essence of life. Whether it is lifespan or ability, it will completely exceed the scope of humans and be superior.

Inside the steam-and-sail hybrid passenger ship, Klein gave up on manipulating the red-headed sea eagle and let it fall into the sea where no one could see it, becoming food for fish.

At this moment, the passengers on the cruise ship were all extremely nervous because the "Black Emperor" was about to approach.

In fact, this was what was about to happen a few minutes ago, but for some reason, the "Black Emperor" ignored the passenger ship and moved straight forward, and the passenger ship did not take the opportunity to get rid of it, but instead circled around the "Black Emperor" and kept a distance of several hundred meters.

This strange situation lasted for a while and finally ended, with the two ships only a few dozen meters apart.

The "Black Emperor" passed the passenger ship from the side, sailed into the night of wind and rain, and never returned.

The passengers and crew stared at it in amazement, and it took several minutes for them to realize a fact:

The Black Emperor is gone! It didn't try to plunder!

Some passengers cheered, some burst into tears, some collapsed and relaxed, and only a few remained awake. They were full of doubts about what had just happened, but they could not come up with an answer that met all the circumstances. They could only comfort themselves:

"The 'Black Emperor' should have completed a robbery. This is a passenger ship, not a cargo ship, so the other party didn't take it seriously!"

As the feeling of relief spread throughout the entire ship, Klein, who looked like Dwayne Dantes, turned his gaze to the north.

Compared to the "King of the Five Seas" Nast, who had only met Roselle a few times, there was another person who was more familiar with this emperor:

"Mysterious Queen" Bernadette!

This lady, who is also a pirate king like Nast, has been appearing in Backlund recently!

“Once we return to Backlund, let Admiral of the Stars contact the Mysterious Queen and try to meet her again as soon as possible…” Klein retracted his gaze, closed the curtains, and lay back on the bed.

…………

In the waters of the Rorsted Archipelago, on the "Mirai".

"Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya finally received a reply from "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette.

She had no idea when the invisible messenger would arrive, but that didn't stop her from feeling joyful.

After opening the envelope and unfolding the letter, Cattleya couldn't wait to read the first line below the heading:

"That is indeed the descendant of Ciel..."

That "craftsman" is really the direct descendant of Emperor Roselle... We can't let him mix with the believers of the "Original Moon" anymore, we have to bring him to the "Future"... Cattleya nodded slightly while thinking.

After she made the decision, she thought of the troublesome character and morals of the "craftsman" Sharf, and felt that she had the obligation and responsibility to discipline him.

After a little consideration, she walked to the window of the captain's room and looked outside.

After searching for a while, her eyes fell on Frank Lee, who was sitting on the side of the ship, chewing mushrooms.

"Frank." Cattleya called out in a normal tone.

Frank, with his sleeves rolled up, immediately came back to his senses from his contemplation:

"Captain, what's up?"

Cattleya said solemnly:

"I'll give you an experimental assistant later."

Frank was stunned for a moment, then smiled innocently:

"OK!"
