Chapter Ninety-Four: The Collection Room of "Lieutenant General Iceberg".
Is this, what to suspect?Klein looked directly into Adewina's eyes, not looking away, not flickering and dodging.
Knowing that Daniz had revealed to the "Vice Admiral of the Iceberg" about the sacrifice he had made to Cavitovis before his death, Klein was prepared to answer calmly and calmly if he had been sitting on the sofa instead of standing on the side of the ship.
A little smile appeared on his face, he raised his left palm, and introduced in a relaxed tone:
"My gloves are called 'Wriggling Hunger'. β
Klein believed that Daniz, who had witnessed his battle, must have informed his captain of the specific details, so it was not difficult for Edwinna, the "Lieutenant Admiral of the Iceberg" known as "Lieutenant General of the Hurricane" Zielingers, to guess that she had obtained "wriggling hunger".
And his sudden mention of this matter contains two intentions, one is to vaguely tell the other party that there is an organization behind me, an organization that can kill the "Lieutenant General of the Hurricane", direct the fall of Kavituis and respond to the believers in its place, and the other is to warn Edwina not to try to investigate, do not go deeper, otherwise, the fate of the "Lieutenant General" being killed in seconds is an example.
At this time, Klein still took into account the character of Gelman Sparrow, did not directly threaten, nor did he resist death, but responded simply in a bland and crazy statement.
Edwina Edwards bowed her head slightly, and suddenly changed the subject:
"I intend to provide some assistance to the rebels in the Rorsted Islands, mainly food and cloth. β
Aid?Is the force behind her hostile to Rune, or is she just trying to disgust the Storm Church?Crane retracted his smile and replied calmly:
"It has nothing to do with me. β
I'm not going to leave a handle on it...... He silently added in his heart.
Edvina turned her head sideways, raised her arm and pointed to Daniz, who was peeking in this direction while drinking:
"I will entrust him with full authority, including liaising with the rebels, setting the time, arranging a private harbor, and I hope you can provide some protection. β
Burst...... A golden waterfall erupted from Daniz's mouth.
The two pirates sitting next to him laughed and stooped up the deck, spitting out the beer they had just drunk.
One of them has a very dark complexion, as if covered with a layer of iron skin, and the other has a thick waist, although the whole is not fat, but there are no lines to speak of.
Adevina withdrew her gaze and added unhurriedly before Klein spoke:
"You're an adventurer, and I don't think you're going to turn away a good hire at a good price. β
That's a great excuse for me...... Klein replied with a smile:
"Of course. β
He didn't ask what the other party was paid, and Adevina seemed to have forgotten to mention it.
The intellectually beautiful pirate general was silent for a while:
"SeΓ±or sent word that he was willing to pay Β£5,000 for the key I had found that belonged to the giant. β
This refers to the giant Black Iron Key, touted as the "Key of Death" that nearly cost Daniz his life in Byam, and Klein suspects that it not only originated in the Dark Second Age, but also had something to do with the Giant Court.
The implication is to ask me if I want to make a price? Klein was stunned for a moment, then suddenly suddenly, and couldn't help muttering a few words in his heart:
"5,000 pounds? I don't even know if the key can be used, if it really involves the Giant Court! If not, can I return it?
"And there is no prior information about this matter at all, even if you get it to the gray fog for divination, you can't get an effective revelation.
"Well, a simple reasoning is that if it doesn't involve the Giant Court, it involves another treasure that I don't know at all, then I can't use it if I buy it, the only benefit is to destroy the plot of the 'Blood General', and harm others and myself, if it involves the Giant Court, even if the 'Blood General' buys it, there is a high probability that I won't be able to find the target location, because it is in the 'God's Forsaken Land', and my plan is to hunt him, and when the time comes, I can get the key without spending money, which means that he will help me buy it and keep it for a period of time.
"Such an idea, although idealistic, is not impossible to realize......
Crane muttered for a few seconds and said:
"It may be hiding a big secret. β
He deliberately mentioned this, so that the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" was reluctant to sell the huge black iron key to the "Blood General" Seigor, lest the latter quickly strengthen due to the acquisition of treasure in the first case and step into the realm of demigods, which would bring a lot of disaster.
Edwina listened quietly, did not continue the topic, half-turned, pointed to the entrance of the cabin:
"Breakfast was prepared for you. β
"Thank you. Crane took off his hat and saluted.
On the way to the cabin with Lieutenant Admiral Iceberg, he quickly relived the conversation he had just had, looking for Adewina's true intention to invite him over to meet him.
"From the question of Gelman Sparrow's identity, to the magical object that appears to be a 'wriggling hunger', to the sacrifice to Kavituwa and the fact that the supposed fallen 'sea god' is still responding to the believers, it is indeed easy to think that there is a hidden, unknown organization behind me.
And the forces to which the "Iceberg Lieutenant General" belongs are very vigilant, vigilant and interested in this, so let her visit me in the face of the interview to see if she can gain anything?
"They are still relatively kind at the moment, providing assistance to the resistance is an expression, and they seem to be more inclined to cooperate with the organization behind me to a certain extent, of course, the unknown is always frightening, and if you don't know enough and are not sure, the 'Iceberg Lieutenant General' may be very low.
"Hehe, if they know that the secret organization behind me has only been established for a little more than half a year, counting the 'world' and Miss Hugh, who has established contact but has never been involved, there are no more than ten members, will they be so angry that they will lose control directly......"
With his thoughts racing, Crane entered the cabin, walking down the dimly lit aisle through the wooden doors.
He followed Edvina up the stairs to the brighter second floor.
Before entering the pirate restaurant, they passed by a half-open room.
Crane glanced inside casually, and saw that the huge black iron key was placed so casually on a wooden table.
"This is a testament to the harvest of our previous treasure hunts, some of them are only commemorations, and some have not yet shown their value, and need to be studied. Adevina seemed cold, but she explained in great detail, and she was afraid that the other party would not understand and not understand what was going on.
And when the word "research" was mentioned, her light blue eyes, which seemed to be clear spring water, brightened up a little.
Proof of the harvest of previous treasure hunts?Klein couldn't help but look inside.
At this time, Adevina took the initiative to push the door wider, walked in, and casually introduced:
"This is a gold coin from the Solomonic Empire of the Quaternary Period. β
Crane's gaze then turned to a coin in a frame.
It is dark gold in color, as if it is made of two semicircles of different sizes, extremely asymmetrical, and its surface is engraved with a pointed crown, very similar to the one on the head of Naster, the "King of the Five Seas".
Adewina is like a master who likes to show off her collection, introducing the objects in the room in turn, which reminds Klein of an acquaintance, that is, the old gentleman of the "Eye of Wisdom", the great detective Issinger Stanton.
"In terms of showing off the collection, they're a lot like ...... Isn't it true that people with rich collections have such a fetish?, and Mr. Stanton went to study in Lemburg for four years, and the description of 'Lieutenant General Iceberg' also includes 'Edwina Edwards from Lemberg', which ...... The capital of Lemburg is the headquarters of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and Mr. Stanton has also admitted that he converted to the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom' during his study abroad...... is they the forces behind the 'Lieutenant General of the Iceberg'?" Klein listened thoughtfully, until Edwina stopped in front of the huge iron-black key.
As seen in the previous dream, this key is the size of a lyre, and normal humans have to hold it to hold it, and the whole is dull and ancient.
The pattern on the surface is similar to that of Silver City, with obvious giant-like characteristics...... Klein nodded, and was about to withdraw his gaze, when he heard Edwina speak:
"You can look into it. β
You probably don't know how many potential problems I've detonated, let me go and study it, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the Golden Dream later...... Crane complained to himself, stretched out his right hand, and reached out to the black iron key that belonged to the giant.
He only felt cold to the touch, and no matter how much he poured his spirituality, it had no effect.
Unfortunately, it can't be taken directly to the gray fog for research...... Crane withdrew his right hand and shook his head imperceptibly.
He looked and saw a parchment book on the same table, with a line of ancient Phusak on the dark brown cover:
Grossell's Travels
"This comes from a shipwreck that has been immersed for 165 years and is still undamaged. "It records a story about a giant named Grossell who decided to go to the Land of Frost to hunt the 'King of the North', a powerful Frost Dragon, on the way, he met companions, including female elves, devout ascetics, nobles of the Romanian Empire, and soldiers of Rune. β
It's not a travelogue note, but a book? It's quite strange, putting together characters from different eras and different eras, and it should be a modern product...... Klein flipped through the book, letting the tawny paper slide through the pages.
The content in it is not much different from what Adewina describes, but the storyline seems very abrupt and full of disconnection, which always makes Klein wonder if he has missed a paragraph, for example, the protagonists go from strange to familiar after encountering.
Soon, he scanned the last few pages and found that they were so glued together that he couldn't get them open.
This effect should be able to handle on top of the gray fog...... I don't know what to expect...... Klein looked sideways at "Lieutenant General Iceberg".
Adevina was silent for a moment and said:
"If you want, I can sell it to you, I've been studying it for many years and still haven't caught anything.
"I have one condition, though. β
"What conditions?" Klein asked rhetorically.
Adevina pursed her lips and said:
"If you have something to do, be sure to tell me the results so that I don't have to wonder anymore.
"As long as you agree to this condition, I can sell it to you very cheaply. β
Klein suddenly became interested:
"How much?"
"8000 pounds. Adevina said with a calm face.
"Hmm......" Crane nodded indifferently, "I'll think about it." β
Think about how you can pretend you don't...... He thought silently.
