Chapter 15: Floating City?
Although the girl opposite had been painted with various paints on her face, which made her originally slightly immature face look a lot more mature, Klein, who was very impressed by the original "live" naval battle, still recognized her true identity - Jane Grant Miranda, the "Sickle Lady" with a bounty of 7,000 gold pounds.
At the same time, Jane, who glanced at Klein, was even more surprised than the other party, her hands involuntarily clenched, her body tensed, and her eyes were fixed on the other party, but she also quickly looked around with her afterglow, looking for a route to escape.
She has been in Nas for more than a month, whether actively or passively, and she is much clearer about all kinds of rumors at sea than when she was on the "Future".
But the name Gelman Sparrow is one of the most famous at sea in recent times!
Jane had seen his photos and heard about the adventurer from different sources, starting with the killing of "Steel" Mavitty, to helping "Diseased Admiral" Tracy resist the pursuit of the "Witch Sect", and successfully hunting a number of pirates with bounties of more than 7,000 pounds, showing the madness of the other party's character.
Did he leave the Rorsted Islands and come to the Gargas Islands? What did he do with me...... It seems to recognize who I am...... Are you going to hunt me?!
But most of my weapons and extraordinary items are not at hand, and it will take some time to summon the necromancer to retrieve it and break the seal......
Calm down, Jane...... He doesn't seem to have malicious intent...... In other words, there is no intention of doing it right away.
Jane suppressed the fear and uneasiness that subconsciously rose in her heart, looked at Klein, who was about to walk to the seat next to her, and said in a deep voice:
"Mr. Gelman...... Don't come any closer!
"Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I won't make some drastic moves."
Klein looked at the girl who was full of vigilance in front of him and could break out at any time, and then remembered the "reputation" of his vest. So he was speechless and stopped.
He smiled politely. But he said in a very flat tone: "Don't be nervous, Miss Jane...... I'm a friend of Detective Abner Blaine. ”
......Hearing the name, Jane narrowed her eyes and stared at Klein for a long time, as if to confirm the truth of his words.
As for Jane's scrutiny, Klein behaved calmly and was not in a hurry at all, and briefly mentioned a few special words in the Ebner Demon Wolf Courier Summoning Ritual as proof.
Since the other party is a descendant of Liu Bo, Klein subconsciously regarded her as a junior.
"This is not the place to talk...... You come with me! Jane finally believed Gelman, threw out 1 silver as a drink, and then left the bar first.
Seeing this, Klein glanced at the wine glass in his hand, and because he didn't want to waste it, he also took a sip of Nepos in the glass...... But his eyes immediately turned red, and if it weren't for the clown's ability to control it, I'm afraid his facial features would be distorted.
- Nepos is a distilled liquor of the Fursack, made from potatoes or grains, known for its high degree and flame-like excitement, it is quite cheap compared to the Sunian blood wine, and is more popular with the common Ferssacks, known as the mistress of all the Fursack men.
But now Klein obviously can't bear the heat of this "mistress", he endures the discomfort in his stomach, switches the "wriggling hunger" to the soul of the "living corpse", and uses his ability to enhance his physique, which is a little better.
Putting the glass back on the bar, facing the bartender's thumbs up, Crane looked the same, but secretly vowed never to drink such a horrible drink again.
When he got out of the bar, he found that Miss Jane had boarded a carriage, the carriage of which was open, and seemed to be waiting for him to get up.
Klein hesitated for a moment, unfastened the citrine pendulum on his cuffs for a moment, and only after getting the result that there was no danger did he enter the carriage and sit opposite Miss Jane.
Jane had already retrieved her extraordinary belongings from the necromancer under her control at this time, and was no longer as scared as before, and took the lead in asking, "Mr. Gelman, what are you looking for me?" ”
"I'd like to meet the 'Master Alchemist.'" Klein didn't go around in circles, and directly said what he wanted.
"You want to see Mr. Claus?" Jian Wenyan relaxed slightly, and asked instead, "Do you know the rules of the master?" ”
"Yes." Klein nodded, then pointed to the suitcase that had been brought into the car, and continued, "There's a box of canned wolffish here......
Before he could finish speaking, Jane stood up as frightened, only to hit her head on the roof of the car and sit back in pain, while she said in a slightly frightened tone, "You...... You brought canned wolffish to the car? What if the packaging breaks?! ”
It sounds like Miss Jane is more afraid of canned wolffish than I am! Klein snickered secretly, but remembering the terrible smell of the can he had opened in the cabin before, he felt a little empathy, and said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, I sealed them all with spirituality!"
"That's good......" Jian glanced at the suitcase with trepidation, then took a deep breath and said, "Since you are a friend of Abner, I will no longer charge intermediary fees...... I can take you to Master Klaus right now...... But you have to sign a contract and swear not to reveal the Master's position. ”
"No problem, but I'll look at the contents of the contract first." Klein has no resistance to signing a contract, but he will not blindly trust the other party, even if she is a descendant of Liu Bo.
"Yes." Jane nodded, took out a piece of parchment with the effect of a "notary", and handed it over.
Klein took it and read it carefully a few times, and after making sure that there were no "traps" through divination, he signed his name.
Jane retrieved the signed contract and placed it in a hidden drawer with intricate magic patterns in the carriage.
Immediately afterward, the carriage started on its own without anyone driving it, and Crane keenly discovered that it had entered the spirit realm with himself and Miss Jane!
"This car is the work of the master, and he can make a short journey to the spirit world and take us directly to the master's workshop." Jane explained with a smile.
Klein bowed slightly, but thought to himself: Abner said that Miss Jane and Lady Gardelia the "Hermit" are actually the subordinates of the "mysterious queen...... That is, this master of Klaus, most likely, is the one of the "dawn of the elements"?
That's right, how can a demigod-level "craftsman" not have the support of a big organization behind him......
As soon as Klein thought of this, the carriage drove out of the spirit world, stopped, and Jane's deep voice came from his ears: "When you arrive, you have to be mentally prepared, don't be too shocked." ”
Shock? Klein was still a little puzzled at first, but when he got out of the car and really saw what was in front of him, his eyes straightened...... If it weren't for the clown's ability, he would have lost his temper.
Because, in front of his eyes, an "inverted mountain" that was fixed on countless supports!
Master Klaus ...... Did he really reproduce the "Floating City"?
