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

Although the pirate king was more than 1.90 meters tall and sat on a black half-high platform, in a condescending posture, Crane did not fall behind at all, and put the high top hat back on with his backhand.

After a brief silence, Nast, who had the title of Earl of Orthodox White Maple, spoke in a majestic voice:

"Give me a reason to answer your question. ”

Klein's thin body leaned back leisurely:

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

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

"I basically know the Sages who are still active in this world, but this does not include you. ”

Crane Mo took off the feather mask that covered his face, smiled, and asked without answering:

"Have you seen Zarathu?"

"I have seen him twice at the court of Russell the Great, and I have come into contact with many members of the Esoteric Order. Nast, the "King of the Five Seas," replied in a flat, straightforward, but dignified tone.

Many members of the Esoteric Order ...... I have time to introduce you to get to know each other...... Crane couldn't help but mumble in his heart.

He then smiled and said:

"I've seen Zarathu, too. ”

Nast raised his hand and stroked his short black beard, and the already tall figure seemed to swell a little, pressing the entire captain's room into a dull and dim atmosphere.

After a few seconds, he stared at Klein in a downward posture and said:

"My impression of Russell the Great is simple:

"There is no better fit to be the 'Black Emperor' than Him. ”

He didn't explain the specific meaning and direction of the "Black Emperor", and he didn't care if the demigod on the other side could understand it.

That's right...... Judging 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 path of the "Black Emperor" in his last years, and made corresponding preparations, in fact, he had a certain understanding and tendency very early, and unconsciously showed it, and made a lot of layouts in advance...... Klein thought to himself.

He believed that Nast, the "King of the Five Seas", had almost this understanding of Russell the Great, after all, he had only seen two sides, so he turned to ask:

"In the Emperor's old age, did you ask or your father to do something secret?"

The crown of the minaret above Nast shook for a moment, and he said in a low voice:

"I've been asked the same question before. ”

Klein laughed and guessed:

"Bernadette?"

"Yes. Nast put his hands on either side of the Iron Black Throne and said, "At that time, she was still very young and immature enough to ask such a question. With the person and level of Russell the Great in his later years, what secret thing should be entrusted to me and my father to do, more secret than that of his own plot and covert action?"

This is to say that I am as immature as Bernadette was back then...... Crane sighed and smiled:

"For those who care about this matter, even if there is only a little hope, they are not willing to let go. ”

This is also the reason why he used illusion to hide the passenger liner and came to meet the "King of the Five Seas".

He wanted to find clues to the light door above the gray fog in the real world, and in addition to finding a way to confirm who the third traverser was, he also had to investigate the matter of Russell the Great in depth, which was an inevitable choice!

The dark red light in Nast's eyes contracted and expanded again:

"What is your relationship with Russell the Great?"

Klein thought for a moment and sighed:

"It's an old friend. ”

After all, above the mysterious light door, even if the cocoons corresponding to the two are not "shopped" on the left and right, they are only separated by an obstacle and hung together for hundreds of thousands of years.

This is a relationship on the practical level, and on the psychological level, Klein, who has read so many diaries of the emperor, has long unconsciously regarded the other party as a real fellow countryman, and has the same emotional destination and identity as him.

Nast stared at the demigod who was sitting in the doorway, as thin as a book, for a while, withdrew his gaze, and said in a low voice:

"What's the problem?"

Klein was prepared, and asked in a hurry:

"In your heart, what is unusual about Russell the Great in his later years?"

Nast, whose forehead was slightly wrinkled, was silent for a long time and said:

"I didn't know much about Him, and I couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.

"The only thing that struck me strange was that the few times my father and I met him, he would stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the west side, staring into the distance, in the morning, at noon, in the evening, and that room was not just a row of floor-to-ceiling windows. ”

"West...... Afar...... A sea of mist?" Crane said as if to himself as if seeking confirmation.

He remembered the mysterious primordial island that the Emperor had mentioned in his diary, and the abyss hidden somewhere in the Misty Sea.

"King of the Five Seas" Nast bowed his head lightly and said:

"That's my guess too. ”

Call...... Klein let out a silent sigh, thought about it, stood up and said:

"I'm done with my question, please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting.

"Earl, I wonder what kind of deal I can help with?"

He was fulfilling the promise he had just made.

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

"Find me the 'blasphemy card' corresponding to the 'Black Emperor'. ”

For a moment, Crane suspected that the pirate king on the other side was testing him, but immediately felt that it was difficult for a demigod of unknown origin to be connected with the holder of the "Black Emperor" card, so he smiled and said:

"I'll do my best.

"However, the question isn't worth a 'blasphemy card,' and if I can get it, I'll trade it with you item by item, and of course, I might only be able to provide a clue about that card. ”

Nastmo leaned on the armrest of the Iron Black Throne and replied emotionlessly:

"That's all. ”

Crane took off his hat again, saluted, and opened the door to return to the deck.

Under the watchful eyes of Viscount Fear Bird Mastan and others, he raised his arms.

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

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

This is a demigod...... Bird Mastan looked up into the air and sighed.

Although in Sequence 5, further forward, the tendency to go crazy and out of control will become more and more serious, leading to the possibility of failure in the promotion of the extraordinary, but the name demigod and half-human is still tempting, because as long as you successfully take that step, you can gain divinity, so that the essence of life will change, whether it is lifespan or ability, it will be completely beyond the scope of human beings, and it will be high.

Inside the steam-sail hybrid passenger ship, Crane gave up the manoeuvring of the red-headed sea eagle and let it crash into the sea where no one could see it, becoming food for the fish.

At this moment, the passengers on the passenger ship are highly tense, because the "Black Emperor" is about to approach.

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

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

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

The passengers and crew looked at each other in amazement, and it took several minutes before they realized a fact:

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

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

"The 'Black Emperor' should have completed a raid, and this is another passenger ship rather than a freighter, so the other party didn't take a look!"

As the sense of joy permeated the entire ship, Klein, who looked like Dawn Dantès, set his sights on the north.

Compared with Nast, the "King of the Five Seas" who has only seen Russell a few times, there is another one who is more familiar with this emperor:

"Queen Mystery" Bernadette!

This lady, who is also the king of pirates like Nast, has been haunting Beckland lately!

"When we get back to Beckland, let the 'Star General' contact the 'Mysterious Queen' and try to meet her again as soon as possible......," Crane retracted his gaze, closed the curtains, and lay back into bed.

............

In the waters off the Rorsted Islands, aboard the Future.

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

She had no idea exactly when the invisible messenger had arrived, but that didn't stop her from feeling overjoyed.

After opening the envelope and unfolding the letterhead, Gardelia eagerly read the first line under her head:

"That's indeed a descendant of the Charles......"

That "craftsman" is really a direct descendant of Russell the Great...... He could no longer be allowed to mingle with the followers of the Primordial Moon, and he had to be brought aboard the Future...... Gardelia nodded imperceptibly as she thought.

After she made her decision, she remembered the troublesome character and character of the "craftsman" Charff, and felt that she had a duty and responsibility to discipline.

After a moment's deliberation, she walked to the window of the captain's cabin and looked outside.

After some searching, her eyes fell on Frank Lee, who was sitting on the side of the gunwale, munching on mushrooms.

"Frank. Gardelia shouted in her usual tone.

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

"Captain, is there anything going on?"

Gadelia said solemnly:

"I'll give you an experiment assistant after that. ”

Frank was stunned for a moment, then showed a pure smile:

"Okay!"
