Chapter Forty-Nine: The Acting School
Something to ask the captain?
Daniz frowned as he watched Gelman Sparrow leave the room, not knowing what the other man's purpose really was.
"What is this guy pursuing?money, wealth?But he had the time and opportunity to take the heads of 'Steel' Maviti and 'Scarlet Thorn' Huntley, and exchange them for a bounty of nearly ten thousand pounds, and he also had seven or eight thousand pounds, but he didn't do it, and generously divided my spoils, which is very paradoxical, when he heard that I was 'Flame', his first reaction was to point to a 3,000 pound bounty...... According to the captain, this is not scientific......
"Why would he deliberately forfeit the bounty......? Unless, there's a better way for him to get it more securely, or to leave it to who......m? He had been prepared for the appearance of the 'substitute punister' in advance...... He, he has his own network and intelligence channels! In this way, everything is explained!
"Plus the demigod who may exist and killed Zilingers, hey, there is a hidden and powerful organization behind Gelman Sparrow!"
Frightened by his own speculation, Daniz instinctively tried to express this feeling in body language, but forgot that his left arm was still fractured, and immediately grinned in pain.
This made him even more frightened, and he didn't want the captain to meet such a dangerous and crazy guy.
He even suspected that Gelman Sparrow's real purpose was the captain's £26,000 bounty!
Single-handedly, that madman may not have won the captain, and we have the first mate, the second officer, the third officer, and several boatswains, but there is a terrifying organization behind him! If you want to hurt the captain, you must step over my corpse! Daniz puffed out his chest and raised his neck, full of self-sacrificing tragedy.
He raised his hand and brushed his hair, gave a long hum, and said to himself:
"Looking at it again, maybe Gelman Sparrow really just wanted to ask something. ”
He subconsciously looked around and found that the "Flying Carpet" and the "Shadow Cloak" were both there, and they were not missing.
"In other words, Gelman Sparrow kept everything that belonged to me, and he was not afraid that I would take the opportunity to escape, or that he secretly took my hair for divination?
"No, no, he's a crazy guy, even if he wants to use his hair, he will just come over and reach out and pull one, it's impossible to do it sneakily...... By the way, there is a powerful and secretive organization behind him! Maybe, maybe at this time, there are people from that organization secretly monitoring me, waiting for me to leave, waiting for me to find the captain...... Insidious!
"Gelman Sparrow must have gone out on purpose!" Daniz felt that he had grasped the truth of the matter with experience and wisdom.
He paced back and forth, sat back in his easy chair, and sneered silently:
"I'm not leaving!
"I'm going to see what you want to do!
"I'm not going to bring danger to the captain!"
............
A quarter past 3 p.m., Simim Island.
It also belongs to the Rorsted Islands, but it is the furthest from Baiam, the "City of Generosity", and it takes nearly 5 hours to reach by passenger boat.
On the way, Klein purchased a set of local clothing and bought a small suitcase for a change of clothes, which cost a total of 14 soles, or less than 1 pound.
It's so cheap, that's a fraction of the formal wear...... Dressed in wide-legged trousers, a thick brown brown jacket and a light brown peaked cap, Crane stepped off the liner and into the somewhat old harbor of Simim Island, spending time shopping for clothes, and missing the 9 o'clock ferry and having to take the 10 o'clock shift.
Thinking of the expenses of this role, he couldn't help but calculate his current financial situation again:
"The 'Faceling' trait was sold for 3,825 pounds, and the pirate bounty was 3,000 pounds, although the 6,825 pounds have not been obtained, as long as Mr. 'Hanged Man' is not exposed, it can basically be included in the budget......
"Donna and their thanks to the money left over from the gold itself, in bits and pieces, amounted to 255 pounds......
"'Steel' Maiviti was found with 26 pounds, 11 soles, and 8 pence......
"Well, and 5 gold coins for "ballast"......
"I haven't spent a lot of money lately, and it's just over £1 in total, which is really pleasant......
"In this way, I will have 7,110 pounds, and I will also have the extraordinary characteristics of 'Nightmare', and the value of the fish-man's swim bladder is not low.
"Think about it, this one I earned a bounty of 3,000 pounds plus the extraordinary characteristics of the 'living corpse', the latter 3,000 to 5,000 pounds, that is, seven or eight thousand pounds...... And that's just a 'steel' McVitiga 'Scarlet Thorn' Huntley and Squill, and a lot of ...... wasted It's a good job to hunt pirates, to administer justice, to punish evil, to protect the weak, and to get rich overnight......"
Klein subconsciously turned his head to look to the side, and saw that the color of the water here was much clearer than that of Baiam, and the whole was like a turquoise, huge, and crystalline gem, reflecting a golden glow in the sun.
Sure enough, it is not unreasonable for generations of adventurers to go to sea in search of wealth, even if the residual spirituality of the ancient resentful spirit, the eyes of the six-winged gargoyle, the spring water of the golden spring of Sunia and other auxiliary materials of the "secret puppet master" are deducted, the remaining money can allow me to buy a decent manor here, in the Desy Bay, in the colonies of the Southern Continent, in non-metropolitan areas...... The countryside of Rune is said to be very beautiful, and if you really can't go back in the end, consider settling in a similar place...... Well, I still have a 10% stake in Beckland Bicycle Company, and the return will not be low in the future...... With confidence, Klein straightened his back and thought about the future.
After a period of endless imagination, Crane began to consider the more realistic question of whether the extraordinary properties of the "Nightmare" should be sold, or whether he should find an opportunity to return it to the Church of the Night, or make it into magical items through craftsmen.
It depends, the ideal solution is to sell to the church...... Klein, the "Martyr" who had taken the Nightwatch's two potions, thought uncertainly.
At the same time, he hopes that the little "sun" will soon reach Sequence 7 and be eligible for access to the method of removing the spiritual pollution of extraordinary properties.
As for the release of the "Priest of Light" in the glove, he is not in a hurry, the little "Sun" has just obtained the potion formula of Sequence 7, and there is no need for the future for the time being, so he will have to wait for a long time, and the ability of the "Priest of Light" is very effective against the pirates of the "Blood General", which is much stronger than the "Sun Brooch".
Thoughts slowly settled, and Crane entered the port town.
They are mostly local, with near-bronze skin, naturally curly black hair, and the smell of long-term dealing with spices.
After changing his appearance and asking about Renee's condition and whether there was news of Winter's death, Crane found a secluded corner, wiped his face with his hand, and turned himself into a tall and thin Winter with deep facial features.
Carrying his suitcase, he walked around to the outskirts of the town and saw Renee's brewery
The flaxen-haired girl could no longer be called a girl, and she was noticeably more mature than Winter remembered.
She was cleaning the door, and there wasn't much anyone around.
Call...... Klein took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, feeling full of embarrassment.
As a keyboard powerhouse, he knows the performance theories such as method school and experience school, but he lacks further understanding, so he can only try to figure out Winter's mood and performance in this scene.
Finally, he closed his eyes and walked over.
Renee heard footsteps and looked up to see the visitor.
Her mouth opened slightly, and she let out a half-surprised "ah" sound, and then straightened her face and said:
"Why did you suddenly run back?"
Remember, you're just performing...... Klein smiled and said:
"I'm here to say goodbye to you. ”
He speaks in the local dialect with a nondescript Baiam accent.
- The language of the Rorsted Islands is also derived from the ancient Versak language, which belongs to another variant, and it is not difficult for Klein, who is a half-historian, to grasp it in a little time.
"Farewell?" Ranie asked, slightly surprised.
Klein turned his head sideways, looked to the side, and smiled:
"I'm going to chase a treasure and don't know when I'll be back.
"When the time comes, I will show up with a large sum of money, buy a manor in the suburbs, plant some rubber trees, make a vineyard, have my own mill, a wine cellar, a blacksmith shop, and fill the air with the smell of all kinds of spices, and then buy a few slaves and hire some servants, just like those old men, hehe, it's the same. ”
He overcame the goosebumps that were about to pop up, and turned his head to look into Renee's eyes:
"One wife is missing, and the mistress of the manor.
"Renee, I like you, I want to marry you, I say it today, not to get an answer, but because I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to tell you again. ”
After listening quietly, Rui Ni suddenly scolded angrily:
"Winter, you're a coward!"
Yes...... That's a bit wrong...... Crane deliberately showed a surprised expression.
Reni suppressed her voice and said:
"Three years ago, three years ago, I was ready to go to Byam with you, and as a result, you didn't say anything!
"What's the use of telling me now? You're about to go to sea, and you may never come back!"
The more she spoke, the more excited she became:
"You say that you are happy and have no regrets, but what should I do? I keep thinking that you will come back, and I will continue to suffer? You selfish devil!"
She waved her broom and slammed it into the opposite Winter.
Klein knew that the real Winter would knock off the broom at this time, hug the girl, and tell her that he would not go to sea again, but he could not do it, so he could only pretend to be driven away in embarrassment, and ran all the way to a nearby alley, slammed his head against the wall, and cursed to himself silently:
"It's so embarrassing!
"It's so embarrassing......"
Renee returned to the door, took her broom, and crouched down.
Her face was gloomy, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Faintly, she heard a voice, and then the whole person fell into a deep sleep.
After using the spell, Crane spun out, pushed down Renee, who was sitting against the wall and was on the ground, and then quickly left the place, hiding in the distance to peek at the end.
Renee soon woke up and found that she had fallen asleep at some point, and everything was like a dream.
She still sat there, unmoved for a long time.
Suddenly, she buried her head and let out a sharp, thin scolding that seemed to be squeezed out of the depths of her throat:
"Winter, you selfish ghost!"
Alas, Crane, who had a little digestive feeling, sighed, changed his face and left here.
He also had to spend the night on Simim Island, as there was a passenger ferry to Byam in the morning.
