January 18th.

The city of generosity, Baiam.

Daniz, who had been fooling around at the bar until dawn before returning to the hotel, fell asleep again.

In his sleep, he suddenly saw the blurred scene around him become clear, frozen in the luxurious suite of the 'Blue Wind' hotel.

Knock, knock, knock.

Daniz heard a slow, steady knock at the door.

Am I not dreaming? With such doubts, Daniz walked to the door and twisted the handle.

The crack in the door grew wider, and he saw a familiar figure.

It was a beautiful lady with a face shaped like a goose egg, a high nose, thin lips, and a pair of light blue eyes that looked like clear spring water.

Her long brown hair parted in the middle, tied in a simple but delicate knot at the back of her head, and then smoothed down.

She wore no hat, but a beige coat with a cinched waist and a palm-sized flower-shaped decoration of white lace that spread down at the neckline. Paired with the jacket was a dark knee-length skirt with a slightly fluffy pleated hem and a pair of leather boots of similar color to the hair.

"Captain?"

Daniz exclaimed, looking at the lady in front of him in surprise and nervousness:

"When did you come?"

Adevina said calmly:

"It's a dream."

"That's right!"

It dawned on Daniz that the captain had previously demonstrated similar abilities to communicate with Ember. But unfortunately, Daniz had never learned this secret technique, and he felt that he probably wouldn't be able to learn it, so he could only wait for Edwina to contact him.

Daniz was in a state of mind and wanted to confide in Adevina about her recent bad experiences in order to get a chance to return to captainship.

But just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the sound of the lock cylinder turning.

Subconsciously, Daniz looked back at the bedroom, only to see that the crack in the door was getting wider and wider, and Gelman Sparrow, who was wearing only a white shirt on his upper body, walked out expressionlessly.

"You...... How did you get out? Daniz stood abruptly and blurted out in astonishment.

He quickly came back to his senses and stammered:

"This, this is my dream!"

How does this guy Gelman Sparrow say that he appears when he appears?

With one hand in the pocket of his dark trousers, Crane replied in a low voice as he walked over to the lady with his back to the window:

"A spell."

Then he looked directly at the woman and asked rhetorically with almost certainty:

"Edwina Edwards?"

"Good afternoon, ma'am."

Klein smiled a little, pressed his hand to his chest, saluted, and then slowly spoke:

"I'm Gelman Sparrow, and I've received a commission from Ash Black, and he asked me to tell you that you don't have to wait for him any longer."

"That's right."

'Lieutenant General of the Iceberg' Adevina was silent for a few seconds, then bowed her head slightly, "I see, thank you for the reminder." ”

"Captain ......"

Daniz looked at the slightly complicated and regretful expression on Adevana's face, and his heart was broken.

Nothing really happened to them, did they? Wouldn't it, wouldn't it? Obviously they hadn't been alone for a few days, how could something happen so quickly? Why! He's been on the ship for so many years without any results, so why did that guy get his hands on it after only a few days!

Pain! It hurts so much!

Daniz's mood was extremely low, and his heart was so painful that he wanted to kneel on the ground and weep bitterly.

Adevina said softly:

"I think Ash must have been paid."

"Yes." Klein bowed slightly.

Adevina said unhurriedly:

"Then you don't need to meet me in person, do you have any reason why you have to see me?"

If the payment had been made in advance, 'Gelman Sparrow' would not have needed to meet her, because Daniz could also tell her on his behalf. And now that the other party has 'done more' to break into Daniz's dream to meet him, he must have asked for something.

Klein's eyes were surprised, but he didn't have any panic that he couldn't see through, and he still said expressionlessly:

"I do have a few questions for you."

Adevina nodded slightly, and instead of refusing, she asked:

"Mr. Sparrow, are you educated?"

What's the problem? Klein's expression remained unchanged, and he responded indifferently:

"College graduated."

"What languages do you speak?"

Crane resisted the urge to frown and said:

"Giants, Elves, Dragons, Ancient Hermes, Hermes, Ancient Fersak, Rune, ......"

Adevina said "um":

"Do you know anything about other areas of the occult?"

"Proficient."

Adevina thought for two seconds, and explained in a slow voice:

"I have to think about how to answer the questions based on your level of knowledge, so that you can understand them more easily."

This...... Klein was simply shocked, only to feel that the beautiful lady in front of him was not at all like a part-time pirate adventurer, she was simply a teacher with a cold expression but a kind attitude.

is worthy of being a pirate general, and it is really distinctive...... Klein sighed to himself, and said slowly:

"First question, how much do you know about fire transfer?"

What is the fire transfer? Daniz looked dazed, not understanding what they were talking about.

Adewina's eyes flickered for the first time, and she seemed to reacquaint herself with Gelman Sparrow. She thought for a few seconds and said softly:

"I've heard old legends about fire, but I don't know much about the details......"

If you don't know the details, you know the cause and effect in general? Klein silently came to a conclusion in his mind, and then asked slowly:

"Second question, who did you hear about these legends?"

Klein knew he shouldn't have asked so bluntly, but he had no other choice. Instead of a little temptation, it is better to ask directly and generously at the beginning, which is more in line with the character of Gelman Sparrow, a crazy adventurer.

Moreover, he was very curious from the very beginning!

Both the diary of Russell the Great and the attitude of Ember towards Edwina reveal the same detail: the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom knows more about 'spreading fire' than any other church!

In Russell the Great's diary, the Church of the Eternal Sun knew nothing about it, even though it had a painting world at the time. On the other hand, the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom not only has a world of paintings, but also guardian knights who wear the same type of armor as Sogo and shout 'Praise to the Sun'.

Edwina, on the other hand, has clearly shown an extraordinary understanding of Ember and is also a believer in the Church of God of Knowledge and Wisdom......

It's hard not to wonder how much the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom knows about it, and where they know about these fires!

Adevina's ice-blue eyes stared at Gelman Sparrow, not giving an answer at the moment.

Crane, who maintained his personality, also stopped talking, waiting for the other party to take the initiative to speak.

He looked at Adewina.

Adevina looked at him.

There was a sudden silence for several minutes in the dream.

This strange silence made Daniz a little nervous, for fear that the two men would fight—the captain was not here now, he was the one who suffered from the fight! And, isn't it just asking a question? Is it necessary to make the atmosphere so tense?

Adevina was silent for a long time, and said softly:

"That's what my teacher told me."

"Who is your teacher?"

Klein continued to ask without hesitation, showing a posture of breaking the casserole and asking to the end.

Adevina looked at him calmly:

"Clarna."

“……”

Crane's pupils shrank, and his thoughts exploded in his mind.

His spirituality was frantically warning, as if a pair of eyes were staring at him behind his back, making him feel like he was falling into an ice cave, and his whole body was cold. The name is like a key to Pandora's box, and it seems to have touched some terrible taboo in the dark!

The last time I felt something like this was when the Goddess of Eternal Sun and Night 'invaded' above the Grey Mist!

And the last time someone or organization had a similar 'mechanism' was the 'Dusk Hermit Society' - as long as you say or write the words 'Dusk Hermit Society', they will definitely sense it in some way or something!

The name that Edwina said must be the real name of an being, and it must be at least an angel above Sequence 2!

No, it's likely more than Sequence 2!

"It's over?"

It was obviously in a dream, but Crane still had a fear of cardiac arrest, and he could feel that his back was completely wet with cold sweat. But fortunately, the Being had looked away, and He did not choose to keep his eyes on them.

The other party is not going to do anything to them...... No, it should be said that there was no intention of doing anything to him.

After all, Adevina claimed to be that disciple, and Daniz was Adevana's subordinate, so they would be fine. The reason why Adevina said that person's name so easily was probably because she had expected this, she knew what to expect......

It's a temptation, but it's also a test!

Klein regretted it in his heart, regretting why he was so reckless?

If that person had the slightest idea about him, he couldn't be standing here right now!

"Anything else you'd like to ask?" Adevina stared at Klein for a moment and asked softly.

Because I'm not dead, I'm qualified to continue asking questions?

Klein seemed to hear Adewina's subtext, and suddenly felt extremely absurd, but suddenly felt that all this seemed very normal.

After all, it is the existence of that rank, and being able to hear their real names and not die is qualified to continue to explore more secrets.

But that name......

Crane forcibly reversed his mind so that he could not come up with the full picture of the name, and forced his mind to calm down......

Crane looked down at his palm, trembling.

No, it's not that his hands are shaking, it's that he's shaking all over, and he hasn't recovered yet......

Even he hadn't discovered this before.

"I ......"

Klein opened his mouth, his voice hoarse.

"Why is it so exaggerated?"

Daniz looked at Crane's trembling appearance and felt inexplicable.

What did the captain just say? Why did he see his lips moving but not make a sound?

What did Gelman Sparrow hear that scared him like this?

Daniz's heart was as curious as tickling, but he quickly dismissed the idea of dying.

The biggest advantage of this person is that he is not so curious, because he knows that people with a lot of curiosity are prone to accidents, such as Gelman Sparrow. He couldn't stop trembling even in his dreams, and Daniz was really afraid that he would be scared to death......

Klein took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and said in a deep voice:

"I'll go to the bathroom."

——

Barren land.

Two figures, one large and one small, are walking on foot in the endless desert with sparse vegetation, all the way to the east.

Lilith wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked up at the embers beside her, pursed her lips and hesitated to speak.

"Something?"

Ember saw the girl's hesitation, stopped, and asked.

"I—I want to drink water......" Lilith whispered.

She's not human, though, she's a vampire.

But even vampires need to eat.

Especially in this vast desert, the consumption is especially large.

Their tribe had actually prepared enough supplies before they migrated. But these things had been turned into crystal glass, along with her people, under the dragon's breath.

Well, of course, she could have eaten dragons.

If the corpses of those dragons hadn't been reduced to ashes under the thunder......

"Water?"

Ember thought silently for two seconds, then held out his hand toward Lilith.

Lilith hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her small white hand and placed it in Ember's palm.

But before the two hands could touch, a small green grass suddenly appeared in the palm of Ember's hand.

Lilith was startled and withdrew her hand like an electric shock.

"Eat." Ember handed over the green grass in his hand.

"Eating grass?"

Lilith opened her mouth, she was a vampire, but she wasn't a cow or a horse, and she didn't live by eating grass...... Lilith didn't know what to say, and hesitated for a moment before taking the green grass from Ember and taking a resigned bite.

She thought the grass would be unpalatable, but when she chewed it, it seemed to have some strange sweetness, moistening her mouth. Although it can't be called melt-in-the-mouth, it also makes the girl's eyes shine, and she stuffs the whole grass into her mouth, and the speed of chewing increases, and her face puffs out like a little hamster.

【Flowering green flowers】

[Green grass like a big flower,

With small white flowers in full bloom.

This can temporarily greatly increase the speed of energy recovery.

The flowers of the green flowers are called phantom flowers,

It is said to bloom only near water that does not freeze when it is cool. 】

"It's amazing......"

Lilith muttered quietly.

While chewing, the energy she felt seemed to have been greatly restored.

But this didn't seem to be enough, and the girl hesitantly raised her head to look at the embers, and opened her pink mouth to signal that she had finished eating.

"Good."

Ember bowed slightly, and said calmly, "Next, let's go hunt for food." ”

"Huh?"

Lilith followed Ember's gaze and looked not far away, unable to help but be stunned.

At the top of the dune, a wild boar with yellow-brown skin and a size as large as a rhinoceros was staring at the area, apparently taking them for prey.

Lilith pursed her lips, she certainly understood why Ember was saying this......

The girl took a deep breath, and a thick black aura filled her back, forming a pair of illusory bat wings.

Her hands hung down naturally, but her ten fingers were slightly bent into claws, and the nails of her ten fingers began to extend outward at the same time, growing a section full of mysterious symbols and patterns, sharp enough to cut through steel, and with a powerful corrosive ability. In the case of the same sequence, even the scales of the dragon will be easily pierced by it!

The wild boar on the sand dunes in the distance also sensed the threat, arched its back in an attacking stance, opened its bloody mouth with two fangs, and let out a threatening roar from its throat.
