Chapter 143: A Difficult Choice
After sitting for a while, Crane raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his forehead, stood up, and took four steps backwards into the gray mist.
He then manifested Gelman Sparrow and prayed to Mr. Fool and delivered two passages to Daniz and Gardelia the Hermit.
In response to the former, it is to remind him to be careful about the tantric order recently, although Klein does not think that Zarathu will go directly to Daniz, who has an apparent intersection with Gelman Sparrow, but no matter what, it is always not wrong to remind him - as a "sophist", Klein has a certain understanding of the extraordinary people of the "soothsayer" path, and believes that those who can really grow up are cautious and careful enough, which does not exclude special cases and strange things, but certainly does not include Zarathu, who is ranked in sequence 1.
In the current situation, in the eyes of the angels who have mastered enough secrets, Daniz is more like a bait deliberately thrown out to catch certain targets, so it is likely that Zarathu will be very cautious and careful to avoid it, and at most send members of the Esoteric Order to do some roundabout and sideways investigations.
In the same way, Klein's words to the "Hermit" Gardelia also have this content, but this is not the point, the point is to ask her to immediately contact the "mysterious queen" Bernadette, saying that Gelman Sparrow wants to meet her as soon as possible, and in addition, Crane also told the "Star Admiral" in advance about the matter that he originally wanted to delay until the next tarot meeting, and asked her to decide whether to buy the potion recipes for the "Cultivator" path Sequence 5 "Druid" and Sequence 4 "Classical Alchemist".
............
To the west of the Tempest Sea, the island of Theros.
Daniz, who was here to collect clues about the whereabouts of the "Lieutenant General of the Disease", was holding a mug full of golden beer, and his expression suddenly became extremely complicated.
"What? Seeing someone, recalling an indescribable encounter?" Anderson shook the "Lielanzi" malt distilled spirit in his hand, and laughed and teased Danitz, who was in an abnormal state.
Daniz took a sip of beer, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and said with a somewhat depressed expression:
"We'll have to be careful of the Esoteric Order......
Ever since he met Gelman Sparrow, he has often heard similar words, and his reaction has changed from panic at first, to numbness and depression.
He suspected that one day he would be wanted by all organizations, large and small, both name-worthy and name-not, except for Mr. "Fool".
Hearing this, Anderson looked Daniz up and down a few times, and said with a smile:
"Sometimes I think Gelman Sparrow is more of a hunter than I am.
"Oh, it turns out that you have a special way to get in touch, and you don't need to summon a messenger. ”
Daniz was about to say a few perfunctory words when an Indisian rushed in at the door of the tavern, holding a telegram:
"Fursak air raid on Beckland, Rune officially declares war!"
Anderson and Danitz glanced at each other, and by virtue of the characteristics of the way, they keenly smelled the breath of large-scale war.
............
"Fursac attacked Beckland and Port Prieze, and Rune officially declared war...... The three ironclad fleets were not in port, there were no losses, and they were rushing back to the coast of Rune...... and the fleet of the "Admiral of the Stars" Gardelia happened to pass through the island of Olawe, gathering all kinds of information from the incoming and outgoing telegrams.
She was about to ponder how a pirate group would behave in such a situation, when she suddenly saw the endless gray mist and heard the words of Gelman Sparrow of the "World".
"Beware of the Esoteric Order, Beware of the Charathu...... "In a way, Gadelia of the Indisians was the least important thing.
Because of this, she had no qualms about the request of the "world" Gelman Sparrow to meet with the queen as soon as possible, believing that this was an extension of the tantric order and Zarathu.
Finally, her lips opened slightly, and she whispered the names of the two potions:
"Druid...... Classical Alchemist......
"The modern name for this Sequence 4 would be 'Ancient Alchemist', and it was previously called 'Human Alchemist'......"
Gadelia unconsciously paced to the window, and looked downward, at this time, on the sea, which was jet lag with Bakeland, Flac Lee and "the craftsman" Sharf were leaning on the side of the sun, basking in the sunset, the former looked relaxed and pleasant, but there was a slight doubt in his eyes, as if there was still some problem that could not be solved, and the latter was pale, his lips trembled slightly, and his clothes were scattered with mushrooms one after another.
Druid...... The ancient alchemist ...... "Star General" Gardelia repeated those two special nouns again, only to feel that something weighed heavily on him.
After ten or so seconds, Gardelia pushed the heavy glasses on the bridge of her nose, and comforted herself in her heart:
"Mr. 'Fool' didn't hint at anything, which means that it is not a big deal......"
With such an idea, the bright stars fell, and a staircase of light was condensed between the captain's room window and the deck.
Gardelia descended the stairs to Frank Lee and Charf.
After a few seconds of silence, Gadelia asked:
"Frank, what are your ideals?"
It was only then that Frank Lee noticed that the captain had come, and with a palm, he turned over and stood up:
"Ideal?"
The "biologist" thought seriously for a moment and said:
"You can study soil, crops and hybridization without restrictions, and so that there will be no famine for mankind, and people will become equal, what you can do, I can do it, and if you can grow, I can grow ......"
Hearing this, the "craftsman" Sharf next to him slowly turned over, silently squatted to the side, opened his mouth, and vomited.
Unfazed, Frank Lee continued:
"And to have such a world, you have to have plenty of food and resources, so I want to create a variety of creatures that can cope with different environments and conditions, hehe, everyone has their own tendencies, I prefer fish, cattle, spores, ......."
"Admiral of the Stars" Gardelia listened to Frank's statement without expression, but in the process, she pushed the thick glasses on the bridge of her nose three times in a row.
After a moment of silence, Gardelia turned to ask:
"You're only one step away from your research?"
"Yes, it's just a few catalysts for the 'Druid' ability, and if I can't get the formula, I'd like to ask Sharf to help me make magical items from the extraordinary properties of the 'Druid'. Frank replied calmly.
"No, I won't help you!, you demon!" shouted Charff, the craftsman who was silently vomiting, raising his head.
Gadelia watched the scene quietly, flipped her palm, and out of nowhere conjured a gold coin.
Zheng!
The coin tossed and fell, then fell into Gardelia's palm, head side up.
"There's a recipe for the 'Druid' potion from Gelman Sparrow, 5,000 gold pounds. Gardelia spoke in great detail, as if she was deliberately telling the "craftsman" Charff to let him know who the real "murderer" was.
Frank Lee's eyes suddenly showed pure joy:
"He's such a good man!
"Well, Captain, I've only saved £3,000 so far, can you lend me £2,000?"
Most of his previous savings were used to buy the extraordinary traits of the Druid, and he even sold some items for it.
Gardelia was silent again, and after a few seconds, nodded in Frank Lee's expectant eyes:
"Good. ”

North District, Beckland Medical College Hospital.
Eudora lay on the hospital bed with a blank expression, without any vitality that belonged to a girl.
She woke up from a coma early but didn't open her eyes, and heard doctors tell her parents that her right leg injured in the air raid was probably not saved and that she had to be prepared for amputation.
After that, she lay blank and felt that many people came one after another, among them, the director of the "Rune Charity Scholarship" Audrey, who was originally just visiting the student next door, heard about her and expressed her willingness to pay for the follow-up treatment, and the principal of the school, Mr. Portland Mormont, promised to make a state-of-the-art and convenient mechanical prosthesis that would allow her to walk like a normal person.
But none of this dispelled the gloom, heaviness, sadness, and despair in Eudora's heart.
She is not yet 18 years old, and before she has time to taste the beauty of life, she is about to lose a leg and lose her ideals.
Her family is not wealthy, her father is a grocery store owner who believes in the "Lord of the Storm", rough, savage, unwilling to reason with women, her mother is timid and cowardly, dependent on her father to survive, and subsidizes the family by hard work, if it were not for the lack of a second child in the family, Eudora would not have been able to study at all, but even so, her father chose a place like Beckland Technical School that would soon bear fruit.
She also felt that she was lucky that the Beckland Technical School was reorganized into the Beckland Technical University, and she passed the exam and became a real college student, which made her smile every day, pass happiness to the people around her, and have free time to chase poetry.
Eudora's dream is to stay in school, become a university teacher, find a husband who likes her and herself, and at the same time write poetry without interrupting it, hoping to publish it in magazines and newspapers.
Now, all this, destroyed by a bomb that fell from the sky, mercilessly, and unusually coldly.
After some time, Eudora silently pulled up the quilt, covered her face, and let out a low, thin cry like a young beast.
The crying did not stop, and it continued for a while, and Eudora suddenly lifted the quilt with some feeling, and saw a dark shadow standing beside the bed at some point.
The dark shadow's face, half completely covered in mushrooms and half overgrown with weeds, held a log-colored cane in his palm.
"......" Eudora couldn't even scream, only felt that her heart was about to explode.
And the shadow touched her with the tip of his cane.
Eudora suddenly felt that her heart was back to normal, and her right leg was cool and seemed to be conscious.
She looked at the bed again, and there was still some dark shadow.
In a daze, Yudo pulled his right leg and found that it was not painful at all, as if he had not been injured at all.
She pulled up the quilt again and covered her face.
Dozens of seconds later, there were cries of disbelief, horror, and joy from under the quilt.
