Chapter 47: Tacit Understanding
48 Sour Lemon Street, outside the Blue Wind Hotel.
Dressed in a thick jacket and wide-legged trousers, Daniz "Blaze" made a detour and stuck to the corner, not moving a single step for a long time, hesitating to escape and not face the horrible madman of Gelman Sparrow.
Unlike the encounter in Bansey Harbor, this time he hid on the roof farther away, allowing him to see the entire battle area, so while assisting Gelman Sparrow against Huntley "The Scarlet Thorn", he finally saw the mad adventurer's battle process clearly, and grasped the extraordinary abilities and peculiarities displayed by the other party.
The paper man-in-chief, the flash of flames, the spiritual shock, the divine light of the "sun" realm, the air bullets shot by rubbing the fingers, the ability to completely disguise themselves as another person, and the magical glove that changed its appearance several times and devoured Skoll, the number is beyond my imagination, and there are several that are not compatible, which is not explained by a simple sequence and one or two magical items...... Also, the hunger that comes from the depths of the soul also says something...... the glove of the "Lieutenant Admiral", "Wriggling Hunger"! The captain has specially reminded us that the glove can herd the souls of many extraordinary people and thus use their powers...... Danitz's mind flowed through the content of his previous thoughts and final judgment:
Gelman Sparrow is the current owner of the "Wriggling Hunger"!
He didn't despise the other party because he relied on powerful magical items to look so terrifying, but became more and more in awe.
If Gelman Sparrow didn't have a certain strength and rich combat experience in the transcendent realm, even if he had "wriggling hunger", he wouldn't be able to get rid of the calm Skoll of "Steel" Mavitiga in ten seconds.
Second, his captain, "Lieutenant Admiral Iceberg" Edwina Edwards, learned from secret sources that "Lieutenant Admiral Hurricane" did not die at the hands of the Storm Church, but was quickly killed by a strong man on the way to escape.
At the peak of the "Hurricane Lieutenant General" Zielingus, Daniz did not lack understanding of the position of a strong man who could easily solve him, which was equivalent to the king standing at the top of all pirates, and the most powerful and terrifying two of them, the "King of the Five Seas" and the "Mysterious Queen"!
Although there is an element of raiding, at most it will be downgraded, and it will not be much worse than the "Immortal King", which is stronger than the "Hell General" and "Blood General", ...... "Wriggling Hunger" now belongs to Gelman Sparrow, which means that either he is the strong man who killed Ziringus, or there is a big man of the Four Kings standing behind him, either way, it is more terrifying than I originally imagined, expected! Daniz's body was tense, and he really didn't want to face the adventurer who bleeds crazy blood.
Call...... He exhaled, feeling that he had hesitated here for too long, and that he had to make a decision as soon as possible.
Gelman Sparrow was a diviner and was quite confident in his abilities, and my "shadow cloak" was in his hand, making it difficult to escape, but it would also anger him...... "shadow cloak" was a rare magical item...... Daniz gritted his teeth and turned out of the corner and into the door of the hotel, all the way to the outside of the luxurious suite.
After waiting cautiously for a few seconds, observing the movement, Daniz took out the key and opened the door.
He saw that the room was dark, the gas wall lamps were not lit, and the morning sunlight was shining through the window and shining on Gelman Sparrow, who was facing the door.
The adventurer had changed back to his original attire, a black tweed coat with dark trousers, a half-height silk top hat in his hand, and his right foot was raised and rested on his left thigh.
He leaned back slightly, his face darkened and blurred by his back to the window, except for those dark brown eyes, which were unusually clear, staring indifferently and calmly at the door.
Daniz unconsciously lowered his head, laughed dryly, and said:
"As you ordered, I went around to the offices of several newspapers, wrote down the news of Flame's killing of Steel' Mavitty, Scarlet Thorn Huntley, and Squill on a piece of paper, and threw it in.
"Of course, within this news, I have a powerful helper, who is mysterious, unknown, a top adventurer, and a seasoned and experienced bounty hunter. ”
Klein bowed his head lightly and smiled politely:
"Good. ”
Daniz breathed a sigh of relief, looked around a few times, and saw the "flying carpet" with a peacock blue background.
He was stunned for a few seconds, and asked suspiciously:
"What about 'Steel' and Huntley's head?"
Klein spoke slowly:
"I didn't take it. ”
"Didn't take it?" Daniz blurted out in shock, "And what about our bounty?"
As long as he has the head of "Steel" and "Scarlet Thorn", he can get the corresponding bounty through some people with connections and backgrounds, although this will lose 15 to 30% of the money, but as a pirate, it is impossible to collect it himself, so he can only take this way - the military and the church encourage pirates to kill each other with bounties does not mean that they will let go of the gifts sent to the door.
What Daniz didn't expect was that Gelman Sparrow, who was crazy for money in his eyes, didn't take the heads of "Steel" and "Scarlet Thorns", which was equivalent to automatically giving up the bounty.
Crane didn't answer him, pointing to the "flying carpet" on the ground:
"You're a collaborator, you have two options.
"One is 3,000 pounds in cash, and the other is this 'flying carpet'.
"Give you 5 seconds to think about it, and the timeout is considered a waiver. ”
£3,000 in cash, or a "flying carpet"? This flying carpet seems to have only two abilities: levitation and flight, and it is not very fast, so it is not very useful...... No, at sea, such items are precious to extraordinary people outside the "sailor" path, at least there is no need to worry about what to do with the ship's sinking...... Daniz hesitated for a moment.
Then he heard Gelman Sparrow count:
“3,2......”
Daniz was shocked, and hurriedly spoke:
"Flying Carpet!"
Klein nodded:
"Good. ”
Knowing that the other party was very reputable, Daniz finally relaxed, and asked half-muttering, half-complaining:
"Why didn't you count 5 and 4?"
Say yes for 5 seconds!
Klein replied with an unchanged expression:
"I counted it in my heart. ”
Count in your heart...... Daniz took a deep breath and smiled distorted.
Crane slowly stood up, flicked his wrist, threw out the top hat in his hand, let it hang securely on the shelf, and walked to the bedroom.
............
Church of the Waves.
Alger, who had entered under the name of Morning Prayer, met with Bishop Jogory of the diocese and recounted what had happened last night, the only thing that had been modified was that he had changed the Blood's anesthetic gas to the Church of Night's Sleep Charm.
Jogori nodded appreciatively:
"For the sake of faith, to dare to go deep into the enemy's cave and to risk your life, such an act is commendable, you are a true storm attendant.
"Last night, we captured five Extraordinaires, killed two on the spot, and killed McWeity, Huntley, and Squill, and the heads of these three pirates will either no longer be seen or are in our hands, and the government's bounty will go to us.
"That's more than £10,000 and you're going to get most of it, which is £6,000.
"Do not shirk, the Lord tells us that those who fight for the faith, let not let it be difficult. ”
"The storm is above!" Alger slammed his fist into his left chest with an excited expression.
Although he and the "world" did not agree on how to divide the spoils, he believed that the two had a certain tacit understanding about this, for example, the things on the pirates they hunted did not interfere with each other, and the bounty was divided equally because it was to be laundered through the church.
As for the bounties of countries and organizations such as Intis and Fusak, Alger did not have the luxury of expecting it, because every time he received it, he needed to hand over the target's complete body or head, so he could only choose one of them, and only those with a deep background and a good relationship with various countries and organizations could get them all.
£3,000 is the ...... of the "world" I'm missing 3,000 pounds at once, which will inevitably arouse suspicion, well, I have to find an opportunity to buy a magical item, this kind of thing is often at a premium because it is scarce, and even more so when it is urgently needed, 3,000 pounds is bought for 5,000 pounds, and no one will doubt it...... Sell what old Quinn got from him, and the account will be settled...... Alger quickly had a follow-up plan.
............
Knowing that 3,000 pounds would be credited to his account, Klein sat happily in the high-backed chair of the "Fool" and pondered a serious question.
That is, after grazing "Steel" Maiviti, according to the promise, he will release a soul within the "wriggling hunger".
Their extraordinary abilities are very useful, and it's a shame to release them before they find a replacement, huh...... Moreover, I have already released that "Faceling", and this time it seems unnecessary...... Hesitation, hesitation, and reluctance fermented in Klein's heart, and he didn't make a decision for a long time.
After a while, he leaned back and exhaled.
"You can't deceive yourself. He shook his head and smiled, relieved by his determination.
He will keep his promise to free a soul.
The previous "Faceling" was released early because he wanted to know the corresponding information, which was essentially an equivalent exchange.
Miss "Justice" bought the materials of the "psychiatrist" and bought 5,500 pounds of magical items, and no matter how rich she is, there should be a shortage of funds, and it is not very appropriate to sell the extraordinary characteristics of the "psychiatrist" at this time, well, she still owes me 2,000 pounds, which will be repaid in February and March...... Klein vetoed the previous idea, intending to release the "nightmare" first.
As a former "night watchman", he always has some impression bonuses and emotional biases for extraordinary people in this field, so it is not difficult to make a choice without other factors.
After calming down, Crane picked up the human skin glove that he had brought into the gray mist, and closed his eyes to sense the twisted and illusory souls.
Without hesitation, he unleashed the "Nightmare".
