Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina did not show any change in expression when Geerman Sparrow said that she would consider it. She nodded calmly:

"Don't worry."

She seemed to think that I couldn't make the decision on this kind of large-sum transaction alone, and I had to go back and ask the secret organization behind it... Is it because I can't make the decision? It's because I don't have money! Klein complained to himself, closed Groselle's Travels, and asked in a low voice:

“Do you know who the author is?

"What happened to everyone who once owned this book?"

Edwina walked to the opposite side of him, stretched out her right hand, rubbed the cover with her fingers and said:

"The previous owner is no longer traceable due to the fog of history, the sinking of the ship and the lack of relevant information. It is also impossible to confirm who the author is. Uh, there is no signature on it.

"We have done some research using some mystical techniques and found that the parchment was made at least three thousand years ago, before the Cataclysm.

"That's why I think it's worth at least £8,000."

In a book written three thousand years ago, the characters in it include not only giant dragons and elves, but also human ascetics, Solomon Empire nobles, and Loen soldiers... These are concepts that only appeared in later times! A magical book that hides prophecies? Or was it made by someone using ancient parchment? But what's the point of this, just a prank? Klein deliberately raised his lips slightly but didn't smile. He said:

"The giant's name is Groselle, could the author be Roselle?"

“No. The name Roselle itself comes from the decomposition of Giant language. It changed for the second time when the ancient Feysac language evolved into Intis language, and it had a different meaning…” Edwina explained the etymology of the name Roselle in detail. Klein was stunned after hearing it, and he felt like he was back in school.

He nodded slightly, then said without any fluctuation in his tone:

"If this is an ancient writing, I'm curious why a frost dragon can be called the 'King of the North'. What sequence of what path does it correspond to?"

Edwina raised her eyes from Groselle's Travels and looked at Klein and said:

“Before the first blasphemous slate appeared, there was no concept of pathways and sequences, and many creatures would not follow such an arrangement. In that era, chaos and madness were the main themes of everything.

"Some dragons may gather many extraordinary characteristics related to frost, such as the frost of the witch, the frost of the zombie, and the frost of the weather wizard. In this way, it will have extremely powerful strength and a very high status. Of course, such a gathering will inevitably lead to death and loss of control.

“What this means is that if it hadn’t died, it would have inevitably gone out of control and turned into a monster. However, the dragon itself is a monster.

If there are many similar products among dragons, giants, and elves, then it is understandable that the Second Age is called the "Dark Age"... Klein pondered for a moment, and said as if he was talking to himself or asking:

"That's a waste of extraordinary properties."

Edwina looked at him for a few seconds and said:

“Emperor Roselle once said:

“Whatever separates will come together, and whatever comes together will separate.”

"The Emperor said that? I understand the first sentence, which is another way of expressing the law of aggregation of Beyonder characteristics. What does the second one mean?

"When aggregation reaches a certain level, will there be a tendency of separation and repulsion? When things that do not belong to one path are aggregated together in a very chaotic manner, will there be a separation effect? ​​The more chaotic, the more repulsive they are?

"The Great Emperor would not say such things to anyone casually, and it is definitely not in the quotations circulating outside... Last time, I guessed from Roselle's dream and the surname of the Vice Admiral that she is a descendant of Edwards, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse of the Great Emperor... It is very likely...

"After the fall of the Great Emperor, their family fled to Lenburg and gradually converted to the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom'?

"What a great teacher! He always answers every question I ask!"

Klein said no more and began to admire Vice Admiral Iceberg's other collections.

At the same time, he had an idea in mind, that is, when the Tarot gathering comes, he will ask the little "Sun" through the "World" to see if he knows the book "Groselle's Travels".

Of course, in order to prevent The Hanged Man from figuring out that something is wrong with the World from the question and thus detecting the Fool's abnormality, he decided to communicate alone and block others.

After a brief tour, Edwina led Klein out of the collection room and into the captain's room in the pirate restaurant.

"The more special food here is yogurt, which can be added with strawberry jam or honey..." Edwina pointed at the food outside the door and said, "There are also several kinds of dried fish that are good. They are from the deep sea and have not yet been named."

As she spoke, she motioned for Klein to take it himself and bring it back to the room. She then stood up and set an example.

Klein took a bowl of yogurt made by someone unknown, put a few spoonfuls of honey into it, then picked up the plate and put in pork sausages, cream bagels, and other food.

During this process, he saw a young man wearing a white shirt, black vest and a colorful bow tie, who looked more like a clerk than a pirate, approaching "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina and whispering something to her.

The man was good-looking, with blond hair and dark roots that fell neatly to the sides.

His eyes are a very light lake green, his nose is very straight, his lips are thin, and he has a trustworthy temperament.

“Don’t be fooled by this guy’s appearance. He’s just a can of wolffish, full of stench!” Danitz had entered the pirate restaurant at some point, came to Klein’s side, and whispered with contempt.

Klein glanced at him sideways and said nothing, because he knew Danitz would take the initiative to explain.

Before Danitz could speak, the man with a bloated waist next to him said in a slightly shrill voice:

"He's the third mate, Jordeson, a former playboy and pirate who said he wanted to steal our captain's heart, but he got beaten up and stayed to get an education, shit!"

"In short, he is not a good person!" Danitz emphasized.

"Not a good guy!" echoed another pirate with dark skin.

Why do I always feel like you two are in agreement... Klein thought for a moment and said:

"'Flower Tie' Johnson, with a bounty of 5,200 pounds? Sequence 6?"

It was indeed a standard Gehrman Sparrow reaction... Danitz glanced over there, and said with a hint of fear in his disdain:

"He's either too strong or just weird. When I fight him, no, when we're fighting, I suddenly can't use fireballs, but he can mimic my fire abilities."

A very familiar description... Klein subconsciously looked towards Jorden. He thought about it carefully and remembered where he had heard it:

This is very similar to the "Vascular Thief", a sealed object behind the Chanis Gate in Tingen City!

Klein could no longer remember the seal number of the "Vascular Thief", but he still clearly remembered that it could temporarily steal other people's extraordinary abilities for his own use.

Corresponding route? Klein retracted his gaze and found that Danitz and his two companions were drinking and looking over there with concern.

Thinking that Danitz had revealed his sacrifice to Kalvetua, Klein took a glass of beer, carried a plate, and walked towards the captain's dining room while casually saying:

"You all like her, right?"

Puff... Puff... Puff... Behind Klein, the sound of wine spurting out rang out almost simultaneously.

He saw from the corner of his eye that Danitz jumped back two steps, looked over there in horror, then turned his head back with a little relaxation and looked at his companion.

They unknowingly distanced themselves from each other, their eyes becoming quite complicated, with a kind of anger as if they were deceived.

Klein did not stop and returned to the captain's dining room to enjoy the morning delicacy.

It was a long time before Edwina came back with the food tray.

She drank a sip of milk, paused for two seconds and said:

"Danis showed me your messenger summoning ceremony.

“It mentioned that a gold coin was needed as a material.

"I'm a little confused. Do you mean Loen's gold coins, Intis's, Feysac's, or others? Their weights are inconsistent, and their gold content is also inconsistent."

Klein thought for a moment and said:

"Loen gold coins."

This is also the most valuable gold coin... Anyway, I don't have to pay for it... Klein added in his mind.

Edwina nodded:

“I have to pay when I receive a reply?”

"Different spiritual beings have different preferences." Klein said, "Hmm."

He knew that "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina was a researcher of spiritual creatures, and believed that she could understand what he meant.

And he wasn't lying, he just hid the fact that the courier's owner could pay for it.

"Yes." Edwina responded seriously, "I once tried to find a messenger, but I could only figure out the spell by myself, which was not only dangerous, but also difficult to get satisfactory results, so I had to give up in the end.

“That’s one reason. Another reason is that the simulated undead power cannot be used to sign a contract.

"Your spell gave me a lot of inspiration."

Klein ate his breakfast in silence and did not explain anything to the other party. This was because the knowledge came from Mr. Azik's teachings, and he would not pass it on without permission.

After a delicious but quiet breakfast, the Golden Dream approached the private port and dropped off Klein and Danitz.

Danitz looked back at the ship that was gleaming with golden light, and suddenly sighed:

"I feel like my friendship has sunk into the ocean!"

Klein touched his hat and said calmly:

“Losers can form alliances among themselves.”

"..." Danitz didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

After changing his identity, forging proof, buying a ticket back to Bayam, and successfully boarding the ship, Klein finally had some private space.

He entered the bathroom, came out above the gray fog, and read the prayers of the Poseidon believers.

This time, the first person who caught his eye was the bald rebel named Karat:

“Great God, we have discovered the whereabouts of Red-haired Elaine. She is hiding in the Intis Consulate.

"This was confirmed by a laundry-maid and a gardener."
