Chapter 212: The Departed and the Coming (2 in 1)
At noon on Tuesday, Roman arrived at the Rose Pier in Port Pletzers, carrying his suitcase and holding his cane.
I saw the familiar luxury passenger liner "St. Furan".
Roman saw the familiar guns on both sides of the ship, and the familiar dark-skinned sturdy man standing at the bow of the ship commanding the crew. Slavy.
Except that the weather is different now than the last time on this boat, as if nothing has changed.
Roman shook his head silently, and ascended the suspension ladder to one side, and came to the familiar, 40-pound, deluxe first class.
With the roar of a huge whistle. The St. Vern's journey began.
The next two days of sailing were without any waves.
Roman is like an ordinary tourist, waking up in his cabin to read a book and communicate with Ms. Tamara.
Or head to the exclusive restaurant of the Deluxe First Class for a bite to eat.
Or head to the deck to enjoy the sea breeze and the scenery along the way.
Seeing the blue waves, gently undulating, and on a clear day, Roman could clearly see the silver-white flying fish.
Leaping out of the water and soaring through the air, Roman felt his mood relax a lot.
No more tense state in Beckland.
As the prestige of the ironclad spread off the coast of Rune, the safe passage, especially from the port of Prydz to the island of Mill, remained calm.
On the "St. Furan", Roman did not see anything suspicious either.
If I had to say, Roman himself, who felt heavily armed, was the most suspicious person.
Roman secretly complained to himself in his heart, and in such a relaxed mood, he came to Damir Harbor. The ship will stay here for a short night to resupply.
As usual, the voyage will continue early tomorrow morning.
Roman didn't want to get off the ship. However, on the one hand, it is easier to receive news from the sea at the bar on the island. On the other hand, it is also to expand some destinations for the "travel stick".
Although Roman is not yet able to transmit directly from Plitz Port to Damir Port, it is still necessary to make some preparations for the future.
With the promotion of the Roman sequence, the strength of the spirit body will increase, and the range of teleportation will become wider and wider, so some preparations should be made in advance to add some "stations" for teleportation.
Of course, the main thing is to listen to the news, and when you are on the sea, don't be too closed. Roman thought about taking his equipment and walked down the ladder of the "St. Furan".
Following the familiar road, Roman came to one of the more famous bars in Damir Harbour, the familiar Birds and Fish Bar.
Taste the bacon of Damir Harbour, ask for a glass of Southwell beer, and listen to the adventurers around you talk about the latest news on the sea.
Roman only felt indescribably comfortable.
In the past three days, Roman has lived comfortably and calmly, but many of his friends in Beckland are different.
In the past three days, Crane, who was far away in Beckland, first followed the plan of the upside-down hangman, so that the chief of Silver City saw that "Amon" and the figure behind the curtain were mortal enemies, and saw the translucent strange worm that Little Sun "spit out", helping Little Sun to initially clear his suspicions.
And it was also during these few days that Beckland began to spread an evil god named "The Fool", including her honorific name, which began to circulate on a small scale.
Meanwhile, Crane takes Dr. Allen to dig up "Will. Angsettin's grave", with the speculation of "fairy fight" in his heart, Crane decided to follow his heart's wishes and no longer bother with the matter.
When Foirth also visited Mrs. Lisa, who was buried there, at the Green Cemetery on the outskirts of the West End, he became acquainted with Mr. Lawrence of the Abraham family, and by returning Mr. Lawrence's letters and relics, he left Bacleland and came to Port Prieter, where he met Mr. Dorian and gained the initial trust of Mr. Dorian of the Abraham family.
And St. Samuel's Cathedral in the North Side also welcomed Roman's acquaintance, Ms. Daly was on duty in Beckland, and Leonard. Mitchell was assigned to a Red Glove squad and also came to Beckland.
Not long after he arrived in Beckland, he was about to inquire about Roman, when he heard a night watchman in the church say with a strange face:
"That Mr. Roman had just left Bakeland, saying that something had gone to sea......"
"Sans, how do you know so well?" Leonard. Mitchell scratched at his somewhat messy hair, his face puzzled.
The night watchman named Sans smiled strangely: "He came here to say goodbye to everyone before leaving, and he received a lot of charms......
……
By chatting with the night watchmen at St. Samuel's Church in Beckland, Leonard. Mitchell feels like he knows a Roman who is different from what he imagined.
The gentleman, who was suspected of being a goddess, made an outstanding contribution to the Tingen incident, and later in the training of the "Red Glove", Leonard came into contact with Herbert from the Southern Continent.
He heard another version of Roman, and today he heard a slightly different description from the Night Watchman.
Is this what Russell the Great said, "A thousand Russell in a thousand hearts"?
Leonard wanted to sigh something, opened his mouth, swallowed, and asked the night watchman next to him casually:
"What's new in Beckland lately? What's the catch? ”
Roman certainly didn't know he missed out with Leonard. Mitchell's meeting with Ms. Dalie was secretly complained about by the night watchman, and he clearly said that it would be okay to bring them gifts when he returned......
At this time, Roman was still here to drink and chat at the Birds and Fish Bar.
Time passed slowly, and to Roman's surprise, he heard the news about the key to death again.
Only this time it didn't appear in the so-called Triangle of Death west of the Moby Dick Sea.
Rather, it is rumored that Vice Admiral Iceberg has salvaged a wreck near the edge of the Furious Sea in the direction of the Sunia Sea.
And inside that wreck was a huge black iron key, which didn't look like anything that humans could use.
It has been sunk to the bottom of the sea for so many years, and there is not the slightest trace of rust on its surface.
So much so that after the news broke, everyone thought that it was the key to the legendary Grim Reaper.
What's more, they believe that the key to death is in the hands of the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg". Previously, the "Blood Admiral" and the "Lieutenant Admiral Dusk" were in the western waters of the Moby Dick Sea, and the Maelk Death Triangle area was looking for the treasure that truly belonged to the Grim Reaper.
Only by obtaining the key of death can you find the treasure.
That's why all the people who are now searching that area of the sea have found nothing.
And because of this, both the "Blood Admiral" and the "Lieutenant General Dusk" sent their subordinates to release the news, looking for the traces of the "Golden Dream" under the "Lieutenant General Iceberg".
Because "Vice Admiral Iceberg" is not like a traditional pirate, she and her crew and sailors mainly chase treasures, and will not take the initiative to plunder or take her subordinates. So they only have one ship, the Golden Dream.
It also makes her whereabouts difficult to trace.
Another piece of news that Roman is a little concerned about is that there have been many small merchant ships on the former Bayam route recently, and many small cargo ships have disappeared inexplicably.
Rumor has it that they were ambushed by pirates, and that they were afraid of ironclads and did not dare to raid the waters off the coast of Rune.
It is also rumored that a sea monster appeared in the waters west of Blue Mountain Island, feeding on passing ships.
Of course, for the latter statement, Roman certainly will not believe it. There is "Aquaman" Ion. Lord Courtman is here, unless it is a sea monster that has reached the status of an angel, how dare to be presumptuous around the Blue Mountain Island?
But if it doesn't make sense to say that it was pirates, why plunder on the route to Baiam? And never left alive, isn't this provoking the Storm Church? Who would be in a situation like this?
While Roman was thinking, he suddenly heard a message shared by a somewhat drunk adventurer next to him.
Someone has spotted traces of a noble lady who ran away from Beckland on the island of Tiana.
Although the aristocratic lady was eventually rescued, the lucky adventurer was rewarded with 100 pounds for "finding the exact clue" in Pritz Harbor for the items left behind at the scene.
Miss Noble from Beckland......
Roman thought about it for a moment and asked the adventurer next to him about the details of the matter.
Roman can preliminarily confirm that it should be the commission that Roman heard at the Pritzport pub before, looking for the person named Caroline. Young lady of Monlotelle.
However, from the information released before, I didn't hear that she had a companion, and I heard from the mouth of the adventurer just now that the person who was with her was a middle-aged man.
Middle-aged men......
Roman was a little puzzled, and he wanted to complain.
It's not going to be anything, bloody plot.
He has already made up his brain, a noble girl falls in love with a middle-aged uncle, and the family does not agree to their marriage. So the two agreed to elope together and came to the sea, chasing love and freedom.
Shaking his head, he continued to listen to the people around him share the news.
On the sea, the news shared in the bars has always been true and false, some by drunken sailors and adventurers who have accidentally revealed it, some by some people who deliberately want to let it out, and some who are pure gibberish.
Most of them are legends of various treasures.
Today, in addition to the "Key to Death", Roman also heard the trail of the "Laurel", the news of "Russell's Secret Treasure......
Among them, the clue of "Russell's Secret Treasure" is spread quite well, it is said that some people have found the treasure map fragment of Russell's treasure, and some people have refuted it, indicating that someone has found a key engraved with Russelwyn.
Russell's deeds are a legend of this era, especially his leadership in opening up safe shipping routes connecting the north and south continents, and giving him countless legends on the sea.
Roman was tired of hearing it for a long time.
After listening for a while and seeing that there was nothing that interested him, Roman got up, left the bar, and began to wander around Damir Island.
It's like an ordinary traveler, except that he goes to strange places, and he goes to those dim, dark, and remote corners.
But what makes Roman feel amazing is that there are still many sneaky people like him......
Late at night, Roman returned to the ship.
The next few days were as uneventful as the previous days.
Except for Roman, when he was blowing the wind on the deck, he saw a lot of new passengers coming up from Damir Harbor.
And met two waves of adventurers.
They all came up to say hello when they saw Roman respectively.
Maybe this is a tacit agreement between adventurers, although I don't know what they will do next, but Roman understands what they mean, that is, don't get involved.
Roman himself came out on vacation this time, and by the way, he fulfilled his wish, and he never thought of getting involved in any senseless adventures, so he didn't have any additional thoughts about the sincerity between the adventurers they showed.
The weather above the sea has been good in recent days, which has made Roman, who has lived in Beckland for a long time, very comfortable.
After another four days, they arrived at the port of Tiana in the evening.
Roman also took time out to attend a tarot meeting yesterday, during which nothing happened.
Roman didn't need much help, and he didn't submit Russell's diary.
Miss Justice has no secret of saying that she is in contact with the Psychic Alchemy Society, hoping to join the organization in the next few weeks, but this requires the blessing of Mr. Fool.
This made Roman feel very magical, this righteous lady did not have the slightest consciousness of becoming a two-five boy, but was very excited.
As for the others, they are not so excited.
The lack of news about the "Wind Sweeper" potion recipe needed by the Hanged Man made him a little impatient.
Little Sun has just been freed from strict supervision, and now he doesn't dare to show any abnormalities, and every time the tarot meeting is pretended to be resting, he participates in patrols every day.
Miss Magician, on the other hand, had just made contact with that Abraham and didn't need anything at the moment.
In the free exchange session, Roman shared some rumors at sea and let the hanged man Alger have some speculations, there was nothing special and ended an ordinary tarot meeting.
As is customary, Roman arrives at the bars of Puerto Tiana to find out the news, and then weaves his way between the dim, dark, remote deserted streets and jungles of Puerto Tiana.
Roman even saw a small, secluded private dock, and wondered if it was used by local fishermen or by some pirate or grey zone adventurer's boat.
Just as Merloman was about to leave here, he suddenly saw two sneaky figures in a dark corner of the hidden dock.
Originally, Roman did not have any curiosity about them, whether they were gray adventurers or black pirates, they had nothing to do with Roman.
However, Roman's brilliant eyesight saw a figure in the darkness that made him stop.
It was a new passenger who boarded the St. Lawrence halfway through the port of Damir.
Roman's excellent memory allowed him to remember those figures, which came in handy at this moment.
Worried about the voyage ahead, Roman quietly approached the figures in the shadows.
