Chapter 155: Murder
Dim lights, crowds, liquor and low-quality cosmetics mixed with the smell of sweat, Reis was drinking alone in a bar filled with braggarts, arguments, and laughter with women.
He used to be very used to this kind of life, but now he always feels that he is being pushed forward by some force, which makes him feel that he is not free.
He was already a little drunk, and in his fog he saw a woman in a long reddish-brown dress with lace, velvet, and embroidery approaching, she was wearing a hat with black veil, and her face was not clear, but through the hazy veil, he felt that the face caged behind it must be unusually beautiful.
The woman sat down in front of him and handed him a glass of red wine, if it was usual for such a beautiful and charming woman to take the initiative to show affection, he would have praised the other party excitedly and attentively, invited the other party to drink, and asked the other party for the price, but now, he just stared at the other party's eyes in a drunken state, as if he had drowned in the shallow blue lake, and recalled in his mind everything that had happened since he landed on Tuscat, and he could not remember what he had said or done during that time, and when he woke up again, the bars began to rush people.
The woman in the long dress had taken an old oil lamp with mysterious patterns from Reis's house, which had been placed in a prominent place in his room, but he had not noticed it.
The woman judged that this was a magical item with strange abilities, and it affected Reis's mental state and the luck of the people fighting with him, so this farce of his subordinates was not targeted, but only the ability of the magical item. Carefully packing the lamp in a box and carefully sealing it with a spiritual wall, she stepped into the night to report back to Lord Schulte.
The woman calmly walked into an area lined with villas, stopped in front of an unremarkable door, and after a light knock, her figure disappeared behind the door.
"Lord Schulte, the man who caused the chaos is not a pawn of some force, he is controlled by a magical artifact, and I brought this item here."
With that, the woman bent down and presented the box to the middle-aged man standing in front of the window.
Schulte turned around and opened the box, staring at the strangely shaped magical object, trying to decipher its pathways and abilities from the mysterious symbols engraved on its surface, but this is not what the viewers are good at, they are better at reading humans.
Suddenly, an illusory bony and fair-skinned hand reached out from his side, which grasped the ring-shaped handle of the magical item and lifted it out of the box.
Dragon scales quickly appeared under Schulte's skin, and an invisible transparent breath erupted, and then his body suddenly disappeared into the perception of normal people. His reaction was astonishingly fast, from the moment he sensed the accident to the time the man picked up the contents of the box, he had already defended, counterattacked, and disengaged.
"Heh, see you again." The man who suddenly appeared was the first to greet the air.
The woman in the reddish-brown dress froze in place, but the man suddenly waved his hand at her, and an invisible majestic force flew straight out of the door with her body, and she only heard the man say, "You'd better persuade the others to stay away together." ”
The doors and windows made a "thump" sound at the same time, and the room was immediately firmly sealed.
"Today, you scream and cut your throat, Adam will not come to save you again!" The man opened his mouth with a smile and recited the villain's lines with all his might.
"Are you looking for my heart island again? You really don't remember what you eat. ”
Schulte snorted suddenly, revealing himself from the other corner of the room.
"Who are you? Why? His voice was hoarse, and his face was covered with shadows.
"The last person who asked me who I was was called Nast."
"I'm here to kill you purely because it's not pleasing to Adam, you don't have to be wronged, I'm not a good person, I don't want to discuss good and evil with you, and I don't want to judge whether you deserve to die, knowing that you are a member of the Dusk Hermit Society, and it's still useful to Adam, that's enough."
Schulte's pupils were erect, his back was slightly bent, and the faint scales under his skin quickly burrowed out, covering his entire body, and then his body swelled, and in an instant, a monster with a dragon head and body stood in the room. He directly unfolded the incomplete mythical biological form, and he always had to fight for life and death.
The woman who was thrown out of the door at the beginning of the scene surged with a lot of panic, panic, nervousness, and anxiety, and even self-soothing could not calm her emotions. She lingered in the doorway, afraid to go in to help, and did not dare to leave. The adult is already a demigod and the highest combat power, if he can't resist, what can he do? She remembered the command again, her mind was confused, and she unconsciously began to tell the servants to leave at once.
The door suddenly opened from the inside, and a man with a clear face in a gorgeous robe stepped out, carrying a magical object he had given himself in one hand and a fist-sized gray-white heart in the other, the surface of which was covered with brain-like wrinkles and strange patterns.
Struggling to control her trembling body, she looked at the man, who glanced at her, smiled at her, and melted into the air.
Normally, she would have thought that it was a young nobleman who had nothing to do, and in order to show his charm, he deliberately made a smile of elegance and nobility at a beautiful lady, but now, she only felt that the other party laughed so terrified that her heart was beating and creepy.
……
"We can't just watch it all the time, let's divide these extraordinary characteristics." Anderson was the first to break the sad silence.
"Where are you going next?"
After sending Grossell's Travels to Gelman, the Iceberg asks them where their next stop will be.
Klein pondered for a moment before he spoke, "Byam." ”
He was thinking about whether he needed to wait for the Lantern God to come back on Olavi Island, but he thought that he didn't explain much and left in a rage, and he didn't know how long he would have to wait before he could come back.
The Lamp God must have a way to locate me, and if he doesn't come back in the near future, I'm afraid I'll have to sell Gilcias to pay off Miss Messenger's debts.
With the concerted efforts of all the crew, the Golden Dream sailed quickly to Byam, and finally stopped at the rebel harbor.
Seeing this dilapidated and cramped port, Klein remembered the behavior of the general on the star who dared to forcibly dock at the government-controlled port against the shore defense artillery, on the one hand, of course, there were no strong people stationed in the church and the military in Toscat, on the other hand, it also showed that the admiral on the star was indeed bold, and the force behind it was definitely not an official force, so the pirates on the Future were generally higher than the bounty on the Golden Dream.
Under Anderson's leadership, Crane successfully spent his savings, bought the long-cherished magical item with powerful aggression, waved goodbye to Anderson, and set out on his journey once again.
Klein is going to stay in Byam for a while, change his identity to capture the pirate puppet, study the rules of the puppet master, and then sell the puppet for money, and when the bill of Miss Messenger is paid, he will choose the best puppet to bring back to Beckland, and finally go to the goddess's church to steal the Antigonus family notes.
