Chapter 268: The Message I Want to Convey

Maffeo trusted Fett, so after she had finished her "party" with Walter, he relayed what Khloe had told him and what he had to prepare. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 InfoWell, there's nothing surprising about that, so Fett's nonchalant reaction was to be expected by Maffeo. In fact, she had come here precisely to investigate the apostles. Her past was related to the Apostles, and Maffeo knew about it, but he wouldn't force the other to say it himself.

In any case, Alice's prophecy to herself now seems to be a real possibility. Maffeo wasn't thinking about whether the Apostles would show up now, he was thinking about whether the disgusting creature in the Prophetic painting was the Apostle that might be on the horizon.

Fett's final reply to Maffeo surprises Maffeo, who decides to help him. In the face of Captain Damon, who might land on the island, she felt that she had to help. Maffeo didn't know exactly why Fett agreed, but having a familiar face by his side was always reassuring, so Maffeo was glad that Fett was able to say so.

The woods had been searched for by Fett half an hour earlier, and there was nothing of value left here. And Maffeo was also holding a kind of luck mentality, of course he didn't expect to get something about the apostles here, only the stupid captains who regarded money as faith would spare no effort to find the thing that didn't exist, and even fight for it.

On the way back to the vineyards, Maffeo chose a different path. Returning the way he had to go back was over a small hill, so he chose to go around the hill from the woods to the vineyards. As the most deserted part of the Vineyard Island, people don't seem to have any intention of exploiting it, because they are satisfied with both the goods they need and the money they earn back in their pockets.

"You...... Uh, how are you all?" was the question that Maffeo wanted to ask after meeting Fett.

"They were all nice when I left half a month ago. Now too, I don't think they will be at odds with the departure of one or two guys. Fett said a little nonchalantly.

"So, how about our two cute guys from the "world above"?"

"It won't be so easy to find a way back to the Celestial Realm, but they haven't given up yet. In fact, having been in Arad for a long time, it is difficult for them to guarantee that they want to go back to the Celestial Realm every second. ”

"That's right, if I could, I really don't want them to get involved in the Celestial War again. Maffeo looked at the sky with a gloomy expression, though there was only sunlight that could blind his eyes.

If what everyone "wants" can be achieved, then this world becomes a true paradise. Fett seemed to be joking, but she didn't feel like she was joking, because she always had no expression on her face when she said something joking.

Maffeo had to admit that talking to Fett was dull, because the other party was not a good guy at livening up the atmosphere anyway. Unfortunately, he is not good at it, although he would love to be like that, and perhaps only Marcos has the ability to restore the already embarrassing atmosphere to the extreme.

"By the way, Marcos gave me something when I left, and he said that if I met you, let me give it to you. Fett pulled out a page from his cloak, perhaps torn from some nonsensical book.

Maffeo curiously took the page and read it, well, it was torn from a book describing the general of the Peruvian Empire, and Maffeo couldn't remember the first time he had read such a historyless text. What is written on it has no basis at all, and it is all left to the imagination of the person who wrote the book. It may make a good story, but it's not a good history book. "I told him a long time ago, don't believe it. The guys who write these kinds of books never understand what ghosts and gods are, they just rely on their own imagination to write something that will make everyone laugh. ”

Fett didn't speak, but raised his hand to the bottom of the page. Maffeo counted on, and there was a note that Marcos had made next to the arranged text. He wrote about a possible place - Pelituck. "What does that mean?"

"It was a place founded by one of Kazan's servants after he had escaped from the Peruvian Empire after his exile, and he took in many travelers and crews of ships that had run aground on the rocks, somewhere in the sea. Marcos thought the servant had probably left a message about Kazan. Fett told Maffeo the truth.

"He told you this?"

"To be precise, he told me after reading the book, and he believed the story because he said it was the most well-founded book about Kazan he had ever read. ”

Maffeo couldn't help but laugh, "God, he really believes in these stories......"

"No, I think he's probably right. Fett shook his head.

"You know what? Sometimes I want to cut you out and see what's in your head, really. Maffeo gestured with his hand, as if he were really opening a man's head.

"Have time to take a good look at the page you're pinching, and you'll see why Marcos said that. Fett didn't care about Maffeo's provocative words.

"I will, when I'm naïve again. Maffeo folded the pages and put them in the pocket of his jacket.

Before returning to the Black Shark, Maffeo also needs to purchase some alchemy potions that will help him in battle. There is only one shop selling alchemical potions on the Vineyard Island, and the prices are not cheap.

Maffeo and Fett entered the shop, which did not have a single window, causing the air inside to be dull and unpleasant. There is a large oak dining table in the center of the room, which makes this look more like a dining room. But there was nothing on the table but a huge brass candlestick, which had been rusted and patina, and on which hung wax tears that had solidified like stalactites.

On the other wall of the room were all sorts of weapons—round shields, swords, daggers, hooked sickles, and axes. They are all collectors of the shopkeeper, and he is interested in weapons and often takes care of them. Such weapons hanging on the wall may be the best thing to use against the enemy in the hands of a warrior, but in the hands of the shopkeeper, they are mere decorations.

Ffeo bought a potion of alchemy and spent a sum of gold at a very reluctant price, and the shopkeeper was a living profiteer, a profiteer that emanated from his bones, not from the fancy clothes he was wearing. If it weren't for here, Maffeo would almost have thought of him as a nobleman of the Delos Empire.

When everything was ready, Maffeo returned to the Black Shark with Fett. The fact that Fett has remained hidden in the territory controlled by the Delos Empire is a necessity because she is a wanted criminal in the Empire. As a result, she avoided staying in any hotels, so the Black Shark was the best place to stay for her journey.

This time it was Adrian's turn to be surprised, and the kid in front of him had brought back a sheepdog a week earlier. And today, he actually brought back a girl, which led him to believe that Maffeo had done something damn outside. Under his questioning, Maffeo had no choice but to tell the Eagle Guild about it, and tried to clarify that Fett was just an ordinary friend with him.

"I really don't believe you know such a girl, come on, she almost didn't say a word when she came here. Adrian had a headache because Fett was reluctant to talk to anyone on the boat.

"Well, that's her personality. Maffeo said a little embarrassed.

"Okay, so as you said, she's just regular friends with you, right?" Adrian stretched out his index finger as he swam back and forth between Maffeo and Fett.

"That's right, just ordinary friends. She's willing to help us deal with Captain Damon, and I guess that's a good thing, you shouldn't be bothered about what the hell I'm doing with her. Maffeo barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

"That, Maffeo. I remembered a question, have you ever had a girl you like?" Adrian asked with a wicked smile.

Maffeo was a little speechless for a moment, and he felt his face burn. He had to admit that he had a girl he liked, but he didn't know how to answer Adrian, and he didn't want to. But Adrian already knew the answer, "I see, do you miss her?"

"Uh, come on, Walter, it's time for you to take a shower. Maffeo didn't want to go any further, so he quickly picked up the dazed Walter and fled the captain's quarters, leaving Adrian still smiling evilly and Fett, who was as expressionless as ever.
