In the jungle of Blue Mountain Island, in the rebel base.
Sitting in a wheelchair, Karat raised his bald head and looked at the sunlight shining through the cave entrance, his eyes filled with undisguised joy.
He could clearly feel that after God returned to the earth and issued the Ten Commandments, he had changed the bloody and chaotic past, and from time to time gave his believers guidance full of wisdom and glory. He actively intervened in the situation above the sea with his insight into all things, trying to help the rebels and all the Rorsted people to walk out of a thorny road that was difficult but could see the dawn.
Perhaps this is the true meaning of returning to the earth... Karat recalled the oracle he had just received, and guessed that the red-haired woman named Elaine was the key to changing the "Vice Admiral of Disease" Tracy, the balance of power on the sea, and the balance among countries. Only when the world situation becomes chaotic can the Rorsted people get a chance!
Karat took a breath, quickly arranged the ceremony, prayed to the "Sea God", and copied Elaine's photo.
After doing all this, he instinctively turned his head to look to the other side with a rather complicated expression.
In that direction lived the high priest of the Church of Poseidon and religious figures who were originally at the top of the resistance army.
Although they did not dare to disobey the oracle and did make great changes, they were still immersed in the past in many details. They were stubborn, conservative, backward, and barbaric, and refused to embrace a more civilized church... If they continued like this, they would be abandoned by God one day... Karat could hardly hide the smile in his heart, but a strong sense of sadness inexplicably welled up in his heart.
…………
After reading through the believers' prayers and selecting responses, Klein returned to the real world, planning to go out and look for people on his own initiative, and also to see where there were opportunities for real-life acting.
When he grasped the handle with his right hand, a ridiculous but feasible idea suddenly flashed through his mind:
"My real purpose is not to find the red-haired Elaine, but to contact 'Admiral of Disease' Tracy, find out the fate of the wealthy businessman Jimmy Neck, and find out the whereabouts of the ancient documents about the god of death.
"In other words, all I need is the red-haired Elaine who can lure out 'Vice Admiral of Disease' Tracy. Whether it's real or not is irrelevant.
"I can completely transform myself into Red-haired Elaine and have Danitz send me to 'Giant Warrior' Ozil to collect the bounty, while I wait to meet 'Vice Admiral of Disease' Tracy in a relaxed and simple manner.
"This operation is so cool..."
Klein shook his head violently, looking for a reason to reject this idea:
“Even though I’m a faceless man, I still can’t accept women’s clothing!
"…Is it possible that overcoming this psychological barrier is also one of the rules of acting?
"Besides, I don't know the red-haired Elaine. Even if she tried to disguise herself, she couldn't look like one. She's just a skin, so it would be hard for her to deceive people who know her. Then we wouldn't be able to see 'Lieutenant General of Disease' Tracy.
“Well, the one looking for red-haired Elaine might not be Tracy, but the enemy of this pirate general.
"I don't know the details of 'Admiral Disease', so I can't assess the degree of danger if I act rashly.
"It's better to be steady and follow the will of your heart. First find the red-haired Elaine and get the detailed information from her. Then consider what to do next."
At this moment, Klein suddenly noticed something was wrong in the living room. Danitz's snoring became noticeably quieter and remained quieter for a long time.
Vice Admiral Iceberg is here? Klein turned the handle and opened the bedroom door.
In this almost silent movement, Danitz turned over and sat up, opening his eyes.
He tried hard to hide the smile on his face and took the initiative to say:
"The captain was here just now.
"She said that the fleet of the Blood Admiral appeared at Changwei Island and continued to sail south, seemingly heading into the Raging Sea.
"The source of this news is trustworthy!"
Longtail Island? The southernmost island in the Rorsted Sea? It seems that the Blood Admiral had intended to come to Bayam, but was shocked by the confrontation between Kalvetua and Sea King Yann Kottman, so he bypassed this place and headed straight for the Raging Sea... Well, his intelligence officer Old Quinn's failure to send a radio telegram notification should also be one of the reasons... Klein felt a little regretful. He could only say that plans could not change quickly.
——He had originally intended to use the hunt for the “Blood Admiral” as a battle to make the crazy adventurer and bounty hunter Gehrman Sparrow famous.
Killing a "Steel" Mai Weiti is always a little lacking in shock... Klein did not speak, and looked at Danitz calmly.
Danitz felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and laughed dryly twice and said:
"Now that the Blood Admiral has escaped, is it time to terminate your cooperation with the captain?
"Can I go back to the Golden Dream now?
"I can contact you through your messenger later!"
Klein pondered for a moment, took out a pen and paper from his pocket, and quickly wrote down the method to summon his messenger.
Then he flicked his wrist, causing the paper to fly out like a piece of metal foil.
Danitz’s Sequence 9 was “Hunter”, and he easily caught the note with one hand.
He glanced twice, and suddenly a red flame burst out from his palm, completely burning the paper into ashes:
"Haha, even if I forget, the captain will find a way to make me remember."
He paused, forced a smile, and asked again:
"Can I go back to the Golden Dream now?"
Klein nodded slightly:
"Can."
Yes…Yes! Danitz resisted the urge to pump his fist in celebration, so as not to irritate that madman Gehrman Sparrow.
He smiled cautiously:
"I'll go pay the room fee for this period first, and buy a boat ticket. As you know, Bayam has been in turmoil recently, and the captain doesn't want the Golden Dream to dock at the private port here."
He was a decent man who knew to pay the room fee... Klein said nothing. He maintained a stern demeanor, put on his coat, picked up his hat, and walked out of the luxury suite on his own.
When his back disappeared from his sight and disappeared around the corner of the stairs, Danitz retreated back into the room, clenched his fists, and waved them heavily twice:
"Great! Great!
“Free at last!”
Without any delay, he put on his baseball cap, went to the front desk of the "Blue Wind" Hotel to settle the room fee, and informed that this was not a check-out.
Danitz quickly came to the street and went straight to a place called "Seaweed Bar". He felt that the air outside was so sweet and made him feel so comfortable.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly saw a notice posted on the wall at the corner:
"...'Flame' Danitz, bounty 5,500 pounds!"
The notice was only two steps away from Danitz. The familiar face formed a sharp contrast with him wearing a peaked cap.
…Danis bared his teeth and revealed a sad smile.
He hastily pulled the brim of his hat down, almost covering his own straight line of sight.
But even so, he was still uneasy. He found the nearest department store and bought a gray scarf. He wrapped it around his neck layer by layer, covering his nose and mouth.
Only then did Danitz feel a little relaxed, quickened his pace, and rushed to his destination.
The "Seaweed Bar" is a place where local gangs gather and famous pirates often appear.
Although this place does not involve as much intelligence and resources as the "Swordfish Bar" and the "Fragrant Leaf Bar", it also has its own characteristics: there are many underlying channels!
All Daniz had to do was to buy a black ship ticket to Glagus, without having to provide any identification.
He knew very well that his bounty was posted at all official ticket outlets, both in the past and now. The first-class ticket for the "White Agate" was also obtained through a similar method.
After entering the bar, Danitz did not take off his hat and scarf. He looked around cautiously and found Denier, who was selling black ship tickets.
He did not go directly over, but withdrew his gaze from the skinny and dark-skinned man in his thirties and looked for a new face.
After making some selections, Danitz squeezed through the crowd and came to a young man drinking at the bar. He patted him on the shoulder and said in a low voice:
"Help me."
"What's the matter?" The young man turned his head warily and saw a sneaky guy: the lower half of his face was tightly wrapped in a gray scarf, and the baseball cap on his head almost covered his eyes, revealing nothing at all.
To put it simply, this kind of dress looks suspicious at first glance!
Because this is the Rorsted Islands where the lowest temperature in winter is around ten degrees Celsius!
Danitz pointed at Denier:
"Did you see that guy?
"Buy me a ticket for the boat to Geragos tomorrow."
He handed over three 1-pound notes and said with a low laugh:
"The rest is yours."
Although black ship tickets are much more expensive than regular ship tickets, Glasgow is not far away and 3 pounds is more than enough. Of course, since the journey is short, there is no need to buy a first-class cabin.
The reason why Danitz didn't go to buy it himself was because he was worried that Denier would recognize him, which would then cause trouble.
When his bounty was only 3,000 pounds, pirates and adventurers of the same level or lower would rarely attack him actively, considering that it would take several people to kill him together, and the bounty they received was not enough to make people forget the deterrence of "Admiral Iceberg" and take the risk of losing their lives. Therefore, in similar black markets, his safety could still be guaranteed.
But now, his bounty has reached 5,500 pounds. Even if several people join forces, each of them can get a considerable amount. And the most numerous people on the sea are desperadoes!
In addition, many people who felt that their own bounties were too low and wanted to prove themselves strong would definitely choose Danitz, a target with a high reputation and low risk.
Because of this, Danitz was afraid that Denier would sell him out, so he simply hired a stranger to buy on his behalf.
The young man held the banknote and glanced at Danitz again, then stood up from his seat and walked towards Denier.
When he passed some drunks, he deliberately slowed down his pace and exchanged a few words with them in a low voice.
When Danitz saw this scene, he suddenly became alert and thought of a problem. That is, the current him, sneaky and timid, has a lot of problems at first glance, and is very suitable for robbing thieves.
Oh, do you think the reputation of "Flame" was bought? After Danitz got the ticket, he planned to teach those guys who were planning to rob each other a profound lesson.
Just then, he found a familiar figure coming in at the door. It was the famous pirate "Blue Eyes" Miss, whose bounty was 2,800 pounds.
And this pirate obviously knew the group of people who were planning to rob him.
“Blue Eyes” Miss also has several subordinates who are quite powerful… Danitz stood up without hesitation and headed straight for the back door of the bar.
He moved faster and faster, and with nimble movements he forced his way through the crowds of drunks, and finally escaped from the bar. Then, relying on his rich anti-tracking skills, he completely got rid of the group of people.
Danitz didn't dare to stay on the street any longer because it was getting dark and the number of patrolling police and soldiers began to increase.
He returned to the Azure Wind Hotel, opened the door of the luxury suite, and saw Gehrman Sparrow standing by the window admiring the evening view.
Danitz's heart moved, and he forced a smile and said:
"Well, I just forgot one thing.
"The Captain asked if you'd be interested in meeting up with him at Graggs?"
This was a question he had concealed before. He had planned to tell the captain when he got back that Gehrman Sparrow had no interest in him. But now, he realized that if he lost this crazy adventurer, he would most likely not be able to leave Bayam alive.
