"Mr. Ash."

Seeing that the atmosphere had become a little awkward, First Officer Blue smiled and said, "Are you a believer in the Burning Sun Church?" ”

As everyone knows.

Only the followers of the Church of the Sun habitually praise the sun.

"It's not."

Ember shook her head calmly.

"It's all gone."

Adevina looked at the crew members who were all looking around and said calmly.

As soon as the crew heard the captain's voice, they immediately looked away and pretended to talk to the people around them.

"Mr. Ash, please follow me."

Edvina whispered, leading Ember to the captain's dining room.

"Damn!"

The third 'flower bow tie' said sourly, "Even I didn't have a chance to dine with the captain, why should he?" ”

"You deserve it too?"

Second mate Olpheus sneered and said mercilessly, "Even if the captain eats with a dog, he will never be such a waste as you." ”

"Orpheus! Nima's, I've put up with you for a long time! ”

"Two two goods."

The first mate walked away from the two without a trace, his face expressionless.

The captain is clearly only interested in the stranger's secrets, and has nothing to do with the love between men and women.

As a result, these two fools are actually jealous here, and they are simply embarrassed.

But that's fine.

The more embarrassed they are, the more they can bring out their tolerance and unfazed attitude.

It's just that......

Big Blue glanced vaguely in the direction of the captain's dining room with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Damn, he really wants to dine with the captain!

In the captain's dining room, Advina whispered, "Ignore them, they do it every day. ”

"It's good."

Ember said casually, "At least that's good for harmony." ”

"Harmony?"

Adevina blinked, and when she thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Every crew member who joins the Golden Dream is always able to mingle with the others as quickly as possible-

in every sense of the word.

Obviously, they are all working towards the same goal.

That goal is the treasure!

Their boatload of men is more like treasure hunters than pirates.

Their goal is to track and unearth the legendary treasures of the seas, not to plunder passing ships.

Although there were some bickering on weekdays, there was never a case of cannibalism like on other pirate ships.

Edwina was thoughtful, but Ember had already removed her helmet.

Revealing a plain face, he silently picked up the spoon and began to eat.

Edwina, on the other hand, couldn't help but be a little disappointed when she saw Ember's unremarkable face, except for some handsomeness.

Because she didn't see the withered, living face she had expected.

The two didn't have much in common, so they both chose to be silent during the meal.

Although Adevina has the heart to explore the secrets of Ember, she also knows too much, and there is no entry point.

So I didn't show too much eagerness.

"Lady Adevana."

During the meal, Ember suddenly said, "Can you take me to Tuscat?" I can get paid. ”

"Yes."

Adevina nodded slightly, "We don't need to be paid, but we have to wait for us to finish the expedition first, and it will take about five days to go back and forth." ”

"Five days?"

Ember fell into deep thought, five days plus the three days it would take to get to Tuscat, that is, a total of eight days.

And Mr. 'The Hanged Man' will take about a week to arrive in Tuscat, which is just right.

"Don't you wonder what the goal of our expedition is?"

Adevina asked suddenly.

"Nope."

Ember wanted to shake her head, but Edwina ignored the explanation, "We are here to search for an ancient shipwreck, and according to local legend, a ship from the ruins of the Divine War was once sunk nearby. ”

"And that ship may contain some information that can unlock the secrets of the relics of the divine war."

"That's right."

Ember nodded as if he was winking, but obviously lacked curiosity about it, and just got up calmly and said, "I'm done, thank you for your hospitality." ”

This made Adevina a little helpless.

If you're not curious, how can I justifiably explore your secrets?

Adevina rose silently and led Ember out of the dining room.

It's just that as she leaves, she deliberately pauses at the door of the restaurant for a moment and looks at the open room on the side.

Seeing Edwina's sudden pause, Ember subconsciously stopped, and followed the open room on the side.

"That's the collection room."

Adevina seized the opportunity and suddenly said, "Inside is the proof of the harvest of our previous treasure hunts, some of them are only commemorations, and some have not yet shown their value, and they need to be studied." ”

"You seem to be interested, do you want to go in and have a look?"

"No, I'm not interested."

Ember wanted to say that, but nodded after a moment of silence.

The corners of Adevina's mouth rose slightly when she saw that Ember had finally taken the bait.

She led Ember inside, and introduced her to the various items in the collection room in a seemingly cold but extremely detailed manner.

Finally piqued Ember's interest a little.

"The second mate."

Ember listened silently to Edwina's story, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Orpheus, is the armor on his body also part of the collection?" ”

"Sort of."

Adevina seemed to have expected Ember to ask such a question, and said softly, "That armor is an imitation of the ancient Sun Knight armor collected in the Knowledge Church, and it has inherited some of the magical abilities of the ancient Sun Knight armor. ”

"That's right."

Ember had a look of nostalgia in his eyes.

He was well aware that Orpheus was not really a Knight of the Sun.

I also know that the other person's praise of the sun is not the same thing as what I know.

But he responded anyway.

As for the set of ancient Sun Knight armor that Adwina was in the collection of the Church of Knowledge.

Ember is no surprise.

The Night Church is able to keep a picture of the world, even a cult like the Aurora Society.

It is not surprising that the other major Orthodox churches have some things that have been passed down from the world of paintings, even if they do not have a world of paintings.

He was interested, but not very interested.

After all, the information that a suit of armor can contain is too limited.

Thinking about it, Ember's eyes were suddenly drawn to a parchment bound book on the table.

With the help of the Eye of Wisdom, Ember recognized a line of ancient Fersak on the surface of the dark brown cover:

"Grossell's Travels".

"This comes from a shipwreck on the seabed, which has been immersed for 165 years and is still undamaged."

Edwina noticed Ember's gaze and explained, "It records that a giant named Grossell decided to go to the Frost Land to hunt the King of the North, and along the way he met his companions. But the story comes to an abrupt end when they encounter the King of the North head-on, and the next few pages cannot be opened by any means. ”

"Grossell's Travels."

Ember was thoughtful, and he caught a hint of familiarity in this so-called 'travelogue'.

He had experienced the same feeling, which came from the throbbing of the world of painting when he first saw it.

Try to open the book.

As Edwina says, the storyline stops at Grossell's encounter with the King of the North.

And after that, there are still a lot of blanks, but they can't be opened.

It seems that the story is missing some kind of key at this point, and it can no longer be progressed.

"Do you know what it is?"

Noticing Ember's changing expression, Adevina asked, "If you can tell me the answer, I can sell it to you for a very cheap price." ”

For Adwina, knowledge alone is priceless.

The objects that carry knowledge are important.

But if she can't unlock the answer, she doesn't mind trading the item for the answer.

Of course.

Gotta add money.

"How much?"

Ember asked casually.

"Eight thousand pounds."

Edvina said calmly, but her eyes were fixed on Ember for some reason.

"Eight thousand pounds?"

Ember pondered for a moment, lost in thought.

One thing to say, the price of eight thousand pounds is indeed very cheap.

Although his weekly salary is only 100 pounds, it is only 5200 pounds a year.

However, with the part-time job given by the Earl of Hall, it is 10,400 pounds a year.

But Ember had only been on the job for less than two months, and his total salary did not add up to more than a thousand pounds.

Even if you add the 1,000 pounds that the rich woman gives every month, the total net worth should not exceed 3,000 pounds.

So it stands to reason that he shouldn't be able to afford it.

However, in addition to the rich woman, Ember also met a good man who was generous, and that good man's name was Kapin.

The wealth he left to Ember was not much, but it was also more than a hundred thousand gold pounds.

Enough to buy twenty copies of Grossell's Travels.

The only question is whether Ember wants to buy the book or not.

From a personal point of view, Ember has a certain interest.

Because although this is not really the world of painting, it may have something to do with the world of painting.

Probably another attempt in addition to the world of painting.

So since there may be clues and the price is so cheap, it doesn't hurt to buy it.

Ember was just about to speak, but Edwina said pointedly, "If you don't have enough money, you can replace it with magical items." If you can trust me, I can help you with an appraisal, as long as the value is comparable. ”

"No, you don't."

Ember shook his head, took out the money and handed it over, "Eight thousand pounds, do you want to count?" ”

“……”

Edvina looked at the stack of gold pounds that Ember pulled out, opened her mouth but stopped talking, and finally fell silent.

This stack of gold pounds undoubtedly completely disrupted her original plan.

She thought that Ember was the legendary 'ash' told by her teacher, and for unknown reasons she sank into the sea and slept to this day.

He was recently rescued from the sea by the men of the One-Eyed Skull in an accident, who mistook Ember for a discarded piece of armor and brought it aboard.

But he never thought that this move would also bring death to himself.

The salvaged embers unexpectedly awakened, killing everyone on board.

But there is a premise for all this.

That is, if Ember is really the legendary 'Ash', and was only recently recovered from the sea by the 'Mad Captain', then he will undoubtedly be completely out of touch with the current society.

The 'golden pound' used by the Kingdom of Rune should not be within the scope of the other party's understanding.

Even if it can be understood, the 'gold pound' understood by both sides should not be the same thing.

But the stack of gold pounds that Ember was obviously taking out was obviously issued by the Kingdom of Rune!

This proves that the other party is not out of touch with society.

Even being able to come up with so many gold pounds at one time proves that the other party should hold an important position in a certain organization.

But if so.

I can't explain why the other party appeared on the ship of the 'crazy captain' for no reason!

These contradictory clues suddenly put Adwina's brain into a shutdown.

"Wait a minute......"

Finally sorting out her thoughts, Edvina suddenly remembered something important, and was silent for a long time before she said, "We communicate in Guphosak, but Orpheus uses Rune, which means ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Adevina suddenly fell silent with some embarrassment.

There was a very important issue that she had been overlooking.

She had a preconceived notion that Ember was an 'ancient', so she used the ancient Fersak language to communicate.

Because this language is not only the source of all the lingua franca of the modern northern continent, but also the lingua franca of the Quaternary.

If you want to communicate with the 'ancients', you must naturally use the language of the 'ancients'.

But Orpheus's 'Praise of the Sun' is in the Rune language.

Ember understands and responds, indicating that he understands Rune.

But her common sense made her ignore this detail-

In her common sense, it is normal for a person to be able to understand several languages.

She communicates with Ember in the ancient Phusak for a while, but she is also fluent in several languages, including Giant, Elven, Ancient Hermes, Hermes, and Rune.

It is precisely because of this that there has always been a misunderstanding in her common sense that 'if I can understand it, others will definitely understand it'.

If you can't understand it, then the person is mentally deficient.

Although most of the crew on her ship were intellectually deficient, she nurtured them to be fluent in at least three languages.

So in the long-term relationship, let her 'common sense' prevail.

made her faintly ignore the details that could have been perceived:

An 'ancient' can understand the ancient Fusak language, but how can she be fluent in Rune?

Although the Rune language is of ancient origin, the spoken language is almost completely different.

There is no possibility that one who knows the ancient Fusak language will be able to understand the language without being taught.

And since Ember knew Rune, she should have guessed that the other party was not really an 'ancient'!

Isn't that what she just tempted......

The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed Adevina became, and in order to avoid further embarrassment, she suddenly changed the subject stiffly.

"Mr. Ash, how many languages do you speak besides Rune and Gufersak?"

"Yes, no."

Ember thought for a moment and replied very seriously.

"Huh?"

Adevina blinked.

"I don't know any of the languages you speak."

Ember spread out his palm, the palm of which was a clean and smooth eyeball, and said calmly, "I can understand the language you use, thanks to the help of the Eye of Wisdom. ”

"Eyes of Wisdom ......"

Adevina looked into the eyes of Ember's palm, and stopped talking.

She actually knew about the eyeball, which was one of the seals kept by the Church of Knowledge.

But she thinks that the name of this eyeball should not be the eye of the mentally retarded?

After all, only mentally retarded people who can't even understand the language need to use this eyeball.

Just thinking about it, Adevina still chose to be silent.

Think of it as the eye of wisdom.

PS: Ask a question.

0-08 is known to be an extraordinary characteristic of Audience Pathway Sequence 1.

Second, Adam is known to have uniqueness and one or two extraordinary properties.

The original book doesn't say it explicitly, but my guess is that 'Grossell' is also an extraordinary feature of Sequence 1.

There are four reasons for this:

First, 'Helios' is not based on the Utopian sequence, so it only needs a copy of the uniqueness of the Utopian and the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 1.

Second, after becoming a Sequence 0 Visionary, two copies of the extraordinary properties of Sequence 1 can be isolated without being affected.

In other words, two copies of Sequence 1 should have been separated before the Fantasy Dragon was killed.

One is the 'Nightmare Dragon' Al Suhod, which is 0-08.

Another high probability is Grossell's travels.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain what Grossell's travels are attached to.

Third, the backhand of the dragon of fantasy is to rely on Grossell's travels to attract 0-08 to come, so as to plan the resurrection.

And after the resurrection, he also has the background of being able to compete with Adam as a visionary.

It was certainly not enough to rely on just one Sequence 1 Extraordinary Feature, only two Sequence 1 Extraordinary Characteristics were available to ensure that he could compete with Adam, who had the uniqueness.

Fourth, if Adam had two copies of the Sequence 1 extraordinary trait, he would only be 0-08 away from becoming a visionary, and there would be no need to get Grossell's Travels at all.

Of course, all of the above is just speculation.

After all, the squid did not make it clear in the original book whether Grossell's Travels was an extraordinary feature of Sequence 1.

So I'd like to brainstorm and see what you think.
