Chapter 6: The Oracle
Gawain looked at the sky outside and saw that he had slept from afternoon to morning.
He got up and opened the door, came to the door of the captain's quarters, and knocked on it.
"Please come in."
Gawain pushed the door open and entered, and found that the table in the captain's room was full of papers, each of which was painted with various occult symbols, and many words that Gawain did not recognize.
Edvina sat at the table, looking at the notebook on the table and lost in thought.
"Captain, you... You won't stay awake all night, will you? Gawain asked, a little surprised.
"I'm already a Sequence Five Extraordinaire and no longer need too much sleep to stay refreshed."
Good guy, the big guy in the immortal cultivation world belongs to yes.
Gao Wen took a closer look and found that the captain's face was still radiant, and he did not have the kind of immortal aura brought by cultivating immortals for a long time, so he put his mind at ease and asked:
"So, Captain, are you any progress?"
"With some clues, it shouldn't take more than a few days to produce results."
Edwina looked away from her notebook, looked up at him, and asked, "What is the reason you are here?" ”
"That's right, after experiencing an academic exchange with the captain yesterday, I deeply realized the charm of knowledge, but also deeply felt the lack of my own knowledge."
"So?" Adevina's expression remained the same.
"So, I'm here to borrow a book or two on occultism from the captain to make up for my own shortcomings."
"I've got you ready."
"Hopefully the captain will... Yes? Gawain was stunned for a moment.
Adevina took out a large stack of thick books from under the table and said calmly:
"I found out when I talked to you yesterday that your occult knowledge is very scarce, so I have prepared some books for you to use, and I am preparing to have them sent to you today."
"Oh... Well, thank you, Captain. Gawain looked at the thick stack and didn't know what to say.
"You can take these first, and then there will be more."
“……”
"Then, captain, I'll go back first."
Gawain had no choice but to pick up the book, which was almost half a person high, and turned around to leave.
"Well, next time if there is something to say directly, don't talk about it at length."
"Good ......"
Gawain returned to his room, placed the book on the desk, and let out a heavy sigh.
He hesitated at his desk for a moment, then turned and walked out.
"Come back at night and read again, and go out for a walk during the day."
Gawain made his way to the deck and found Daniz, who was drinking.
"Dear Mr. Flame, would you like to go out into town with me?"
Daniz was in a panic, and when he heard Gawain's invitation, he immediately agreed, and the two got off the boat together.
"Do you have something to do? Or how about I take you to the Red Theater? Judging by the way you look, you haven't been there yet, have you? Daniz said with a smile.
"Forget the Red Theater, aren't you afraid of being discovered by the captain?" Gawain teased.
"What does this have to do with the captain?" Daniz asked, confused.
"Don't you like the captain?"
"Ahem, you're mistaken, I only have a strong admiration for the captain, not a man and a woman." Daniz is colored.
"Really? I don't believe it. ”
"I don't care if you believe it or not. Do you have a destination? If you just want to hang out, I won't accompany you. ”
"Has there been a pirate fire in Byam recently?" Gawain asked.
"Pirate fire? Pirate fire in this city is nothing new. Daniz was accustomed to it.
"It happened yesterday."
"Oh, I know what you're trying to ask." Daniz suddenly realized.
"Can you elaborate on that?" Gawain is still a little haunted by the incident that led to the death of the original body.
"If it's yesterday's incident, it's said to be because two pirate groups, Blackwater and Death Flag, are fighting over an extraordinary item." Daniz replied.
"Extraordinary items? If it can cause scramble, the effect should be very powerful. Gawain asked with some curiosity.
"Hey, two small pirate groups of more than a dozen people are just robbing, it is said to be a ring that can make people flash within a few tens of meters." Daniz said unconcernedly.
"Sounds great, but there's only two small pirate groups robbing it, and it's a serious side effect?" Gawain asked with some interest.
"It's fast, yes, it's going to be a constant whine at the person wearing it, and the negative effects are even more intense during the full moon."
"There was a Sequence 8 pirate who put it on and went crazy after a while, so we, the pirate group, were basically not very interested." Daniz said.
"Because it's not worth it?"
"Well, the negative effects have affected its value, and it's not worth fighting with other pirate groups for this."
"What, you have an idea for this thing?" Daniz asked.
"This thing should be destined for me, and besides, I still have some grudges with them." Gao Wen said lightly.
"So, we're going straight to the door now?" Daniz didn't explore the reason why Gawain was not afraid to whisper, but secretly wrote down the incident in his heart.
"No, I'll have to step on the city first, and when the time comes, I'll come to them." Gawain replied.
"Shit! You want me to be your tour guide. ”
"Hey, you've come so far, it's not like you're on the deck when you go back, I'll invite you to drink later."
"I'm going to drink the most expensive."
"No problem."
After that, Gawain was led by Daniz to find out the structure of the entire Baiam route, and also learned about some hidden paths, which benefited him a lot.
In the days that followed, Gawain spent the day sparring with Daniz to digest warrior potion.
In his spare time, he returned to his room to read the occult books sent by Adewina, and at night he was tortured by the demon dog in a trial dream.
Until one morning.
"Captain, are you looking for me?" Gawain walked into the captain's room and asked.
He saw that Edwina's expression looked a little serious, and he wondered in his heart if there was a problem with the research of the secret arts, could it be that the research of the secret arts failed?
Edwina motioned for him to sit down, and then began to set up the ceremony in the room as she had done on the day they first met.
When the ceremony was done, Adevina sat down at the table.
Gawain looked at her and asked, "Captain, your face is not very good, is it because you failed to study the secret arts?" ”
"No, the secret technique succeeded." Adevina shook her head, her voice calm and inaudible.
"Originally, what I wanted to research first was a secret technique that was enough to support you devouring the six demons of the sequence, and then slowly improve it."
"That's pretty good." Gawain said.
"But, when the arcane art is about to be completed," Advina said, with a somewhat complicated expression.
"I've received an oracle."
