Chapter 208: Miss Messenger
Under the sun, the "Golden Dream" exudes a golden brilliance, like a moving treasure.
Danitz stood in the captain's room, pacing back and forth, trying to remember everything that had happened during this time and find clues to investigate.
Three days ago, his captain, "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" Edwina, announced that he was going to do a study, and it might not appear for ten or twenty hours, so the corresponding courses were all canceled, which was not surprising to Daniz and others, because this is something that often happens.
They were glad that they didn't have to go to class, and they drank and sang and held a bonfire on the boat, but they didn't light the "Golden Dream", and they had a very good time.
But as time passed, everyone, including the sluggish Daniz, gradually realized that something was wrong, and the captain, who was supposed to end the research in 24 hours, did not show up the next day, and did not even find anyone to bring food and light beer to serve as water!
After waiting patiently for a long time, the crew of the "Iceberg Vice Admiral" Adevina boldly knocked on the door of the captain's room, and was horrified to find that no one responded.
Led by First Officer Bru Walls, the pirates opened the captain's quarters and saw that it was empty!
They then went to the collection room and other places, but they still couldn't find the "Iceberg Lieutenant General" Edwina.
Based on their previous experience, they initially suspected that the captain had thought of something on the spot, so they used one of the various secret techniques or extraordinary techniques to imitate the abilities of others, and hurriedly left the "Golden Dream" without having time to leave a message.
After that, Daniz and the others tried to contact them using methods such as "sΓ©ance rituals", but they did not get any response, so they could only search the captain's room and other places to find clues, and persuade themselves to be patient.
After the third day, the "Iceberg Lieutenant General" Edwina still did not show up and did not respond, and the crew began to panic.
"Shit, do your divinations have any results? aren't you an expert in this area?" Daniz turned irritated to Yoderson the "Flower Bow Tie".
The black-haired gold-dyed Yoderson rubbed the corners of his forehead and said in a rather mellow voice:
"Failed, all the divination to find the person failed.
"For the time being, though, the captain is still alive, but he doesn't know where he went. β
First mate Bru Walls, who had short gray curly hair, pushed his monocle and said:
"We had to ask for help, and the captain didn't lose all of his collections, and she didn't even take some of the necessary magical items, which shows that the situation was abrupt and unexpected. β
"Who's going to help?" asked Daniels, another boatswain with a bloated waist, "Bucket," anxiously.
Brue Walls raised the silver-veined knife in his hand to his hooked nose and said:
"Back to the West Coast. β
What he meant by this was to find the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" church behind the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" Edwina.
"No, to return to the West Coast from Pirate Land, across the Sunia Sea, through the North Sea or the Furious Sea, and then sail the Misty Sea for a long time, the captain can't wait that long! she could have an accident at any time!" said Yodsen, "We must find someone who can be contacted quickly and can help in a short time." β
Daniz wanted to scold "shit" again, but suddenly he had an inspiration.
There was only one person he could quickly get in touch with, and that was Gelman Sparrow, a mad adventurer who never shy away from showing himself to him as a diviner and a mysterious background!
Perhaps, the madman can find the captain, who can always accomplish the impossible...... Daniz pulled down his collar, feeling his worry and irritability ease.
He puffed up his chest, looked around, cleared his throat and said:
"I have a candidate whom I can contact immediately, and he is very good at divination......"
Before he could finish speaking, Bru Walls the "Gourmet", Yoderson the "Flower Bow Tie", and "Ironskin" and "Bucket" turned to look at him at the same time, with red eyes, and shouted:
"Don't go yet!"
"......" Danitz silently exited the captain's room and returned to his room.
He spread out the letter, picked up the pen, and habitually gave a greeting at the beginning and then a few pleasantries, according to the captain's instructions.
Suddenly, he paused for his pen, feeling that it was too polite and verbose to meet the purpose of asking for help.
"Shit!" Daniz cursed to himself, brushing the paper off.
Immediately afterward, he wrote on a new piece of paper:
"Help!
"The captain is missing!"
"Hmm...... Although Gelman Sparrow was a madman who could not guess with normal logic, he probably couldn't read such a letter...... Shit!" Daniz scolded himself again, tearing up the second piece of letter.
He calmed down, thought about it for a few seconds, and dropped the pen for the third time.
This time, he succinctly wrote about the events before and after the captain's disappearance, including the current location of the Golden Dream, and then tactfully asked Mr. Gelman Sparrow if he could help his collaborators.
"Divination seems to require a specific item...... Daniz had just folded the letter when he suddenly realized that he had missed something, and hurried back to the captain's room, where he found a pair of pearl earrings that Edwina, the "Iceberg Vice Admiral", often wore.
After doing all this, he took out the notes that recorded various occult knowledge, flipped to the corresponding page number, and according to his previous experience, he was not very skilled in arranging the ritual of summoning the messenger.
After placing a gold coin on the altar, he took two steps back and recited in the ancient Hermetic language:
He took a step back and said in the ancient Hermetian language:
"Me!
"In my name I call:
"A spirit that wanders in vanity, a friendly creature to drive, a messenger of Gelman Sparrow alone. β
The whining wind stirred and lingered, and the flames of the altar candles swelled rapidly and were stained with a noticeable paleness.
Renette Tinicol came out unpleasantly, still wearing the long black dress that was gloomy and complicated, and carrying four identical beautiful heads.
Daniz had expected the messenger to bite the gold coins and the envelope containing the paper and earrings as he had done last time, but who knew that the four heads in Renette Tinicol's hands turned on their own, looked around, and finally concentrated in the direction of the captain's room.
After a few seconds, Renette Tinicol's two heads finally bit down on the gold coin and the envelope.
When the strange messenger disappeared, Daniz let out a sigh and wiped his forehead, feeling an inexplicable pressure just now.
............
Olavi Island, another hotel in the room.
Klein was about to ask Anderson Hood, who had won a lot of money, to buy a ticket to Byam, the "City of Generosity", when inspiration struck.
He quickly turned on his vision, and saw his headless messenger, Renette Tinicol, floating beside him at some point, the four heads in his hands undiminished.
Unlike the Bone Courier, as soon as she appeared, I could perceive that she had entered the real world completely, and my inspiration was touched...... Crane thoughtfully took the letter that Renette Tinicol had bitten into one of her heads.
At the same time, he discovers that Anderson's inspiration is no worse than his own, and reacts almost simultaneously.
"It's ...... Courier?" Anderson asked, uncertain, as if he had heard of such a thing, but had never actually seen it.
Crane nodded expressionlessly and opened the envelope.
Hey, pearl earrings? Crane unfolded the letter in some surprise.
Anderson, who was next to him, came over curiously, looked Renette Tinicol up and down, and said:
"There's an indescribable bloody beauty......"
Before he could finish speaking, his hands suddenly lifted and grabbed his throat, pinching his tongue so that he was foaming at the mouth, and Renette Tinicole, whose neck was empty, did not react.
Crane turned his head sideways, studied it carefully, looked at his messenger again, and muttered a few words silently:
"It's a lot like Miss Sharon's abilities...... Miss Courier belongs to the 'prisoner' path?No, not sure, she's a spirit creature, and it's normal for her to be good at this kind of thing......"
Seeing that Anderson was about to die, Klein said slowly:
"Well, he's going to show me the way. β
Renette Tinicol turned a head in her hand and glared at Anderson with scarlet eyes.
The mouths of each of her heads opened one after the other in an orderly manner:
"Can ......", "Make ......", "Living ......", "Same ......", "Can ......", "Lead the way......"
As he spoke, Anderson's hands finally stopped, leaving his neck, leaving a distinctly deep finger mark on it.
Whew, whew...... The strongest hunter gasped for breath and bent over retching.
Klein then quickly skimmed through the letter and figured out that the sender was Daniz, a "well-known pirate" who had mysteriously disappeared and needed help.
No sooner had he looked away from the letter than Crane was shocked to find that Renette Tinicol was still there.
This is not occult...... Doesn't the messenger disappear after delivering the letter, and then summon it to reappear?, Crane pondered, and asked in confusion:
"Is there anything else you can do?"
"Wait ......," "...... you," "......," "letter ......," Renette's four heads said in turn.
"How do you know I'm going to reply?" Klein looked at Anderson, who had not yet recovered, convinced that the strongest hunter could not notice that this was not in line with Gelman Sparrow's character.
Renette's head spoke again:
"Her ......", "Missing ......", "Very ......", "Strange ......"
"How do you know?" Klein thought for a moment that Miss Courier had peeked at Daniz's letter.
The heads with pale blonde hair and simple pulls up each spit out a word, forming a complete sentence:
"I ......", "I have investigated the ......", "...... on board", "...... situation"
My messenger also works as a spy? Will Miss Renette Tinicol be a part-time thug in the future? I just don't know if I want to pay extra...... Klein thought while complaining and said:
"Don't worry, I'll reply later. β
He plans to go to the gray mist first and use the earrings of the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" Adevina to do a divination.
Renette Tinicol didn't say anything more, and disappeared without a sound.
"Ahem......" Anderson finally relented, stood up straight, and looked at Gelman Sparrow incredulously, "Your messenger, your messenger, is actually a demigod!"
PS: My daughter-in-law and grandmother were hospitalized, and I hurriedly went back to her hometown yesterday to visit.
