Crane sat down on the couch for a long time, and after a long time, his face began to change, changing to Gelman Sparrow.

Medici, who was grinding a dagger in boredom, noticed his movements: "Yo, are you back to your soul?" ”

Crane didn't respond, he was silent for a long time with that indifferent face, and finally spoke hoarsely:

"Do you know what 'Fort Source' is?"

"Fort of the Source...... What a name I miss. Boy, you're asking the right question. ”

Just as Crane was cheering up and wanted to listen carefully, Medici changed his words: "But you are too weak now, and some knowledge will die if you listen to it, and you must at least have a demigod to ask this question again." ”

"I can only tell you - it's a very incredible thing, a very strong 'symbol', and the fact that you have gray mist protection means that you have a certain occult connection with the 'Source Castle', and this is the first time I've seen such a person."

Medici's eyes showed a hint of nostalgia, as if he had seen a picture of the past: "Before you, countless strong people broke their heads and wanted to find it, wanted to establish contact with it, but they couldn't even touch a hair, and even went crazy!" ”

Crane's eyes lowered again, and he said slowly, "Really......"

Could "Fort of the Source" be the reason for my time travel?

No, judging from the words of this strong man, the Source Fort itself is just a "symbol", a prop, just as it is an extremely strong and extremely high seal. If I had been picked by this seal with no living traits, it would have proved that I had met some of its criteria, and thus the "selection" was triggered......

Just like Russell's silver medal with a pattern and Edward's mysterious pendulum, they all seem to be related to "divination" and "fortune-telling", and they are all related to the "soothsayer" approach! Going around and around, the problem is still in the "Minutes of the Secret Traditions of the Qin and Han Dynasties" bought at the local stall, or rather, in the transfer ceremony of his own whim experiment!

Perhaps on Earth in the past, the Source Fort already existed, and operated as a seal in stealth, sending humans who accidentally met its requirements to the future world!

But—but that doesn't make sense!

Crane racked his brains to temporarily escape the pain and helplessness with his thoughts, so his mind was running at full speed—

First of all, he himself did not discover that the Source Fortress had authority in terms of "time", not a concept independent of time, but a high-level seal that did exist but was difficult to find. It is impossible for Fort Gen to send items to the future or the past, and if it is only "carrying", it means that "past" and "future" are two timelines that exist at the same time, and Fort Genpo is just transporting and transferring some people who are unlucky.

However, the world map and the ruins of the city prove that the world of the past has been destroyed, and there are no similar legends in the rumors of the ancient eras, and it is impossible to know in which era and by what the modern civilization of the past was destroyed......

Could it be that Fort Source kept collecting people who met its requirements before the world was destroyed, and then kept waiting? Waiting, hiding until now, the world is starting to release people?

But the source fort itself is not active! Who's doing this? What was her purpose in doing this?

What does the "true Creator" mean when he says, "My fate is heavier than I think"? Should I be annoyed that the god played dumb riddles, or should I be thankful that she didn't tell me the inside story that might have killed me on the spot......

He couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.

My survival may have been part of some great conspiracy - the thought of this made Crane's already heavy heart even worse.

The sound of the clock striking broke his thinking, when, when...... The bell had struck eleven times, and it was already late at night.

Medici kept an eye on his actions, observing what was so special about this man whom the Lord considered to be "a man who had waited for thousands of years". After a moment, she read beyond sadness, numbness, and overwhelm in Crane's body language, and she spoke:

"You want to leave?"

Crane nodded slowly.

Medici thought about it, and felt that there was no need to take him with him when he met the witch tomorrow morning, so he asked casually:

"Why did you assassinate the little witch?"

Little Witch - "Lieutenant General of Disease", Crane is now in a state of slow thinking, he thinks that his identity and Azk Bronze Whistle have been known by the other party, and this evil spirit does not seem to be very willing to be an enemy of Mr. Azk, so he considered it:

"Tracy may have in her possession ancient documents related to death from the royal tombs of the Bairan Empire."

Medici looked at Tracy.

Tracy was forced to start thinking, she narrowed her eyes and quickly recalled:

"I remember that it was from a man named Jimmy Neck, and the documents unearthed from the royal tombs of the Bailang Empire did fall into my hands."

"But I wasn't interested in them, so I simply turned two pages and handed them over to the sect."

She even had the mood to gloat again: "Hey, even if you succeeded in assassinating them before, you couldn't get them, I haven't seen them much at all, even if they are psychic, I can't repeat them." ”

Yin Lian asked suspiciously, "Sect? ”

Tracy suddenly became slurred, her gaze drifting unnaturally.

Medici's focus is still Qingqi: "The graves of her Eggers family have been dug up in the North Continent?" The royal family's mausoleum can be discovered by merchants, and the Grim Reaper literature can be taken away, is there no one alive in the Eggers family except her? ”

"There are living people." Trainor joined the conversation, "The Spirit Order also has a Pale Empress, and the Predator Cross also has some cooperation with the Spirit Order, I guess you didn't read the intelligence records of the Southern Continent last week. ”

Medici raised his head rightly: "I didn't look, what, if I have to do everything, what do I want my subordinates to do?" ”

Trenor was calm: "You're right. Have you read the latest news about Bansey Harbor being purged by the Storm Church? ”

Medici disagreed: "Destroy it, it's just some thin-blooded descendants anyway, and they're all crazy." ”

Does the evil spirit have anything to do with Bansey Harbor? Crane has caught an intel.

At the same time, Medici seemed to have found an interesting topic and turned his face to Crane again:

"What does Azik Eggers want you to collect these things for? No one knows death better than she does. ”

There seems to be some deeper meaning to this sentence...... Is Mr. Azik in his mind a person who has a fairly close connection with death? Mr. Azik was once an angel under the seat of death? The Grim Reaper has fallen, why is Mr. Azik still alive, and why is he (Crane still prefers to refer to the current Azik by "he") being let go by the enemies of the Grim Reaper?

Is a life of constant reincarnation a punishment? But why not kill him, but let him wander back into the world in this way?

Crane cautiously did not answer, he believed that Mr. Azik's angelic status was the main reason why the other party was unwilling to be an enemy of Azik, and once his answer revealed Azik's current state, it would be difficult to say what this strange powerhouse would do.

He was wary of Medici, who was not as curious as he thought, she was more interested in the small-scale battles in the Southern Continent than in the household affairs of the Eggers family, and seeing that Crane was unwilling to answer, she was too lazy to ask.

"You can go if you want."

Medici waved his hand lazily: "The Lord approves of you, then I will reluctantly let you go." ”

"Thank you."

Crane quickly stood up, thanked him, and immediately ran through the window.

Medici watched him disappear from his eyes with a puff of smoke, and said with some regret, "How could he bear not to ask who I am?" ”

With that, she strode to her feet and turned around, picked up Trainor's cat, touched it upside down twice, touched all the fur that Riel had just licked, and then put the angry Riel back on the table.

Dissatisfaction will not disappear out of thin air, it will only be transferred from the lack of virtue angel to the demon cat.

Watching Riel lick his fur again in annoyance, Medici clapped his hands contentedly, "I'm in a much better mood." ”

Trainor had nothing to say.

……

Crane flashed and disappeared in the streets of Byam.

The "True Creator" didn't want to touch him at all, and even wanted to turn around and immediately go to the gray fog to eliminate the poison.

But I have to say that the information that "the real creator is suspected to be a contemporary" suddenly made Crane's favor for her rise a lot, and he couldn't help but wonder if there was a reason for the other party's madness.

It's like as long as there is an extra label of a fellow, the evil god will look more pleasing to the eye...... Why is it that the fellows I meet are either dead or bad...... Crane shook his head, smirking wryly at his innocence.

In order not to let others find out about this pervert who only wore boxers and went out, he quickly pinched himself into a suit of clothes with flesh and blood, and then made a prayer to go to Yuanbao to get some money down, and used the "master key" to enter a closed men's formal wear store and buy a complete set of formal wear including shoes and socks. After dressing in the dressing room, he left the dress shop with £2.

The "True Creator" hinted at the Source Fort to me, but did not show the intention of snatching it, although it is also possible that my strength is too strong to keep the Source Fort at all. Anyway, at least I'm safe.

Judging from the words of that evil spirit, those strong people who need the Source Fort are very likely to come to the door to kill people and take the fort...... After all, the Source Castle doesn't really have much use for me, but at least I need it until I kill Ince Zangwill......

After getting dressed, Crane walked silently through the deserted streets for a while, came to the quiet port, sat by the empty boat and looked out at the quiet and steady sea for a few minutes, and then blew the brass whistle.

The snaketail demigod appeared as relentless as ever, and he looked at Crane, waiting for a letter or instructions.

Crane suddenly felt a lack of energy, and after the previous tension had disappeared, he now finally felt both physical and mental exhaustion, and he looked at the snake-tailed demigod and said:

"I hope to be able to meet Mr. Azik."

- After realizing that the snaketail demigod has the interesting ability to record occult recordings, Crane began to be lazy and not write letters, and to convey less important things verbally.

He then described in detail the relationship between Jimmy Necker, a wealthy merchant, the Grim Reaper's Documents excavated from the tombs of the Bailon Empire in the Southern Continent, the relationship between Lieutenant General Zielingers and Lieutenant General Tracy of Disease, and mentioned the thrilling changes that took place tonight. Although his assassination attempt was unsuccessful, and he unfortunately learned from Tracy that all the documents had been handed over to the Witch Sect, Crane felt that the hints of the "true creator" and the information revealed by the evil spirits were quite valuable to explore.

By the way, he plans to try to get a clue about the identity of the evil spirit from Azik, so as to learn the purpose of two high-ranking members of the Predator Cross at the same time at sea.

After saying all this, Crane and the snaketail demigod looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly asked:

"Were you human?"

After saying that, Crane immediately felt that his question was really boring, even a little embarrassing.

The snaketail demigod remained motionless, and then slowly replied to Crane in his mind: Not exactly.

It's true that natural demigods aren't exactly human...... Crane felt that he still had to talk to pure humans, so he quickly expressed his gratitude and let him go.

"Blue Wind" hotel, in a luxurious suite.

Daniz opened the door and saw that it was Gelman Sparrow, and glanced warily left and right before making way of the way.

"How? Was the hunt successful? When the door closed, he asked curiously and excitedly.

"Sick Lieutenant General" is a famous beauty, when I saw it before, she was more attractive than I imagined, if she died like this, it would still be a bit of a waste, she should be locked up, imprisoned forever, life imprisonment...... Phew, can she be as beautiful as the captain? There are many people with such looks, and there are many in the Red Theater! Daniz thought rather ambivalently.

Crane thought of the Black Death, which had been reduced to ruins at sea, and thought that the fire on the ship should be extinguished now, and that he had not received information in the past two hours, and that Danitz's intelligence network was not very good.

"Almost." He replied coldly.

"It's a pity......" Daniz sighed casually.

What he thought to himself was:

Gelman Sparrow is really strong!

Infiltrating the Black Death to assassinate the "Lieutenant General of Disease" is only a close success, and even if it fails, it will be able to return with little to no damage!

You must know that the reason why every pirate general can be famous in the five seas, second only to the four kings, is not only because they are strong enough, but also because they represent a team and a force, and they have a large number of extraordinary people under their banner, and they can escape from the Black Death after the assassination fails, which is enough to show that Gelman Sparrow will not be worse than any pirate general!

"Is 'wriggling hunger' really that bad? No, if it were me, I wouldn't have been able to do anything like that even with 'wriggling hunger'......" Daniz felt more and more that the decision not to try to resist when facing Gelman Sparrow was too wise.

So Daniz hurriedly took out the paper bag, greeted it, and said with a flattering smile:

"This is the 700 pounds bounty that has been allocated."

Just then, he and Crane heard a knock on the door, and it was Captain Elland.

The captain flashed into the room, glanced deeply at German Sparrow, and said in a low voice:

"I was going back to Port Prieze, but I received another message."

"It looks like there's something big going on over there in Bansey Harbor."

The Storm Church has finally made a move on Bansey Harbor? Crane was not at all weak-hearted and asked very calmly:

"What's the situation?"

Erlan didn't notice an unusual reaction from Gelman Sparrow, withdrew his gaze, looked around, and said:

"I don't know exactly what happened, only that it may involve the high-level forces of the Storm Church."

"And for some time before that, all routes to Bansey Port were cancelled, which may be a symptom of the so-called."

A high-level force involving the Church of the Storm? No, it should be the top power, I suspect that the Pope of the Storm Church, the angel on earth, has personally intervened, and even used the "0" level seal, after all, there may be a king of angels on the other side, the king of angels who is older than the Quaternary, and her descendants...... Crane nodded, and Pingshu asked:

"How did it turn out?"

Erlan couldn't tell Gelman. Sparrow's true emotions, sighed and smiled:

"For a long time, there won't be Bansi Port."

…… Worthy of the Storm Church...... Crane was secretly stunned, curious about the more detailed process.

He wondered what had happened in the process, what the "thin-blooded mad descendants" the evil spirit had spoken of before, if they had been purged by the Storm Church, what was going on with the natives of Bansey Harbor, what the staccato way of speaking meant, and what secrets were hidden inside the Lime Restaurant and the telegraph office.

Unfortunately, with the destruction of Bansey Harbor, he could no longer get a definite answer.

"There's one more thing."

Erlan followed up with a bombshell news: "For a long time, there will be no 'sick lieutenant general'." ”

Daniz, who was drinking water, coughed frantically.

Ellan gave him a strange look, but didn't take the pirate's strange behavior to heart, and his reaction to the news tonight was rather unstable.

"Just tonight, a few hours ago, a military informant reported that he had witnessed the wreckage of what appeared to be the Black Death at the docks."

"The entire ship was completely destroyed, and 'Sick Vice Admiral' Tracy was nowhere to be found. This news will soon spread on the sea, and if no one else is on top in a short time, the five seas will return to the four kings and six generals again. ”

As soon as Claran turned his head to Daniz after Irlan left, he saw a complete change of expression on the other man's face, from horror to fear to reverence. Crane, who had rubbed off the Iron Cross powerhouse's record, coughed unnaturally, he knew that Daniz must want to know more details, but he deliberately didn't mention the topic.

Crane asked him, "How long have you not been home?" ”

Daniz was stunned by this question, not understanding Gelman's purpose, and he scratched his head and said honestly:

"Quick, almost twenty years, right? The old man and his mother still live there, and they want to write to me but don't know where I am, and I sometimes go back and secretly watch them......"

Crane was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you miss them?" ”

"Uh...... Well......" Daniz's eyebrows furrowed, "I think about my mother once in a while, because the old man always quarrels with me......" He was a little embarrassed when it came to family and the like, and Daniz didn't want to cry like some young sailors who were reluctant to leave home. He was worried that he would be looked down upon by Gelman for shedding tears, so he interrupted his answer very uncomfortably, thinking that Gelman asked me if he thought that I had not become famous for more than ten years, and that he was suggesting that I should hurry back to my hometown to farm?

He anxiously waited for Uncle Gelman's fate, but only waited for the sound of Gelman turning away and closing the door when he returned to his room.

The pirate touched the back of his head for some reason, but was suddenly aroused by these two words and wanted to go home and see.

"This madman is quite human, isn't ......?"

Puzzled, Daniz went back to his room, where he wanted to write a letter to his family again.
