Roman, who was sitting at his desk in his cabin, opened his eyes sharply and looked at the gold divination coin, which had been broken into several pieces.

Pity......

Roman's mind came to Klein's last words above the gray mist.

"I will allow you to recite my name and remember the following titles."

"A fool who does not belong to this era, a mysterious lord above the gray mist, and a king of yellow and black who rules good fortune."

The sound is deep and long.

Roman came back to his senses, thinking about his choice just now.

When choosing his own code name, Roman actually has a lot of choices, such as "Emperor" and "Pope", which have a more positive image and can hide his identity to a certain extent.

Or the "tower" is a card that paves the way for setting up a character who knows more occult knowledge in the future.

But thinking that above the gray fog, the choice of code name may not only be a code name, but also some symbolic meaning of fate or even "prophecy".

Roman still chose "strength", on the one hand, the symbol of his own path in the tarot card is "strength", on the other hand, the qualities represented by the card "strength", such as courage, such as tenacious willpower, such as the determination to overcome any difficulty, these are the qualities that Roman yearns for.

In other words, before returning to the sea, Roman still had some thoughts of escape in his heart.

Digesting "warrior" potions and most "fighter" potions relies more on the legacy of the original body.

Roman, who was just an ordinary person before, came to this strange and dangerous world, and the deepest part of his subconscious still wanted to escape.

This is not only reflected in the fact that after taking the mission to the relatively safe Beckland, he did not take the initiative to look for opportunities to play, but also reflected in the fact that he has always wanted to seek the protection of the fool and accept the gods, and it is the "investment" or "gift" of more than one god, and he does not think about what price he will pay for these gifts in the future.

Roman can tell himself that he is still too weak, and that the plan of the gods, no matter what the price will be paid in the future, he is powerless to resist, and can only seek more protection.

This would have convinced itself.

But after coming to the gray mist, seeing Crane, and a boulder in his heart falling, Roman began to try to change something.

This is not only because Roman met Klein and found that this part of the "plot" had not changed, but he still became the "fool" Mr. and let himself have the advantage of being partial prophetic.

is even more because of this reliable "fellow", which gives me more firm courage.

Fear comes from the unknown, but courage has to rely on the heart.

Even if he doesn't need Klein's help, and even says that the help he can provide to Klein is even greater at the moment, but Klein can gain the courage to face the unknown just by being there.

This is the biggest significance of participating in the tarot meeting at present, and it is also the reason why I chose the card "power".

Roman wants to have the perseverance and courage to move forward until he is strong enough to rely on any external force.

Roman thought as he extinguished the candle and lay down on his large bed.

Good night, Mr. "Power".

……

Early the next morning, Roman, who had had breakfast, began his duties as a boatswain, patrolling the deck, inspecting the items, and summoning the sailors to begin their duties.

Final preparations are being made for the upcoming voyage.

From today, the Riptide Seagull will gradually deviate from the so-called "safe course" and start its journey from Olawe all the way east to north, welcoming the unknown.

After greeting his teammates and crew, Roman stood on the deck of the Riptide Seagull and watched the bearded captain Fred stand in the morning light, waving to the rising sun:

"Set sail, set sail!"

The huge sails gradually unfurled, and the huge steam engine inside the cabin slowly started.

"Woo————"

With a loud roar, the "Riptide Seagull" sailed out of Olawe Harbour in the morning sun.

After two days of sailing, Roman has gradually adapted to his role.

When there is no need to fight, Roman, as a boatswain, also has his own things to do, and maintaining a medium-sized ship with dozens of sailors is not a simple matter.

While Roman was checking the ropes on deck as usual, he suddenly heard the voice of a lookout coming from the bow of the ship.

"Captain, there's a situation!"

Fred, who was looking at the charts below, took out a black metal telescope and looked in the direction the lookout was pointing.

Through the telescope, Fred saw what was happening on the ocean in the distance.

In the distance ahead of the preset course of the "Riptide Seagull", two small and medium-sized ships were circling each other, and from time to time a salvo came to strike.

One of the ships, with a black flag embroidered with an abstract and ugly flame pattern, was noticeably more powerful.

On the other ship, which only had a huge beluga whale on the bow and no flag, one of its masts had been broken by artillery fire, and it was struggling to turn its direction and entangle with the other party.

"Captain, what's the situation?" Tony, the "detective" who hadn't changed his tune, also came to the bow deck and looked at Fred.

Fred put down the binoculars in his hand and looked at Tony and Roman and the others who rushed to the bow of the boat.

"It's the 'Flame' pirate group, attacking a whaling ship." Fred said.

On the sea, recognizing the flags and symbols of pirates is a fundamental skill that allows adventurers and merchant ships to choose the right strategy when they know what enemy they are facing.

Roman also had information about the "Fierce Fire" pirate group in his mind.

It was a medium-sized pirate regiment, and the main extraordinaires on board were Captain "Ferocious" Arena, suspected Sequence 7 "Arsonist" with a reward of 2,600 pounds, first mate "Furious" Gollison, 1,000 pounds, second mate "Cold Fire" Johansen, with a reward of 1,000 pounds, and dozens of sailors.

The main activities are in the Sea of Moby Dick and the Sea of Central Sunia, among which the second mate, "Cold Fire" Johansen, is known for his brutality. Murder or humiliation is often committed.

Of course, Captain Arena and First Officer Gollison are also notorious pirates, and they belong to the plan set by the Seagull Squad before going to sea, and they can hunt.

Captain Fred did not hesitate, and after taking a closer look at what kind of trap it was, he ordered the sailors to steer the "Riptide Seagull" in the direction of the two ships that were circling in circles.

Life as an adventurer at sea is all about, exploring islands, salvaging shipwrecks, chasing unknown treasures, and of course, most importantly, hunting pirates.

The long-term mission of the Riptide Seagull is for the Concorun military and the Church of the Storm to target Admiral Bloody and his subordinate fleets, and that is the main meal.

And before the main meal, the "fierce fire" pirate group in front of me, as an appetizer, was just right.
