Chapter 10: The Adventurer

When Esther and Klein joined each other by their new names, the guard next to her looked at her strangely, wondering why the lady had said "waiting for a friend" before, but seemed to shake hands as if it were the first time they met.

However, when Crane turned his gaze to the bulletin board to take a closer look, the guards quickly caught a glimpse of the business opportunity:

"Hey, this gentleman seems to have somewhere he wants to go? Just ask me, as a sailor in the former kingdom's navy, I've been dealing with the sea for fifteen years! If it hadn't been for the war in East Bailang that destroyed my health, I would have been able to work for another ten years! ”

While Crane was chatting with the guards about the information, Esther listened all the time, but did not intervene until Crane turned to Esther and asked her:

"Are you going back to Beckland?"

Esther shook her head again and again: "Don't go back, the smog is too serious, have you considered the destination of the sea?" ”

"Well, I'll go to the Rorsted Islands."

Klein pointed to a certain voyage on the panel, which was a ship called the White Onyx, which would leave for the Rorsted Islands tomorrow.

The guard was even more energetic:

"Sir, you have a good eye! As a steamship, the White Onyx also retains sails and can reach a maximum speed of 16 knots. The captain is quite experienced, he used to be the boatswain of the Royal Navy William V! ”

But in the royal family, no, in the Royal Navy, no matter how good and excellent ordinary people are, they can only be boatswains, unless they curry favor with the commander by any means! It was because of this that Ellan was forced to leave the Navy and join the White Onyx, becoming his own captain along the way. ”

"I highly recommend you to choose the first class," the guard's smile was somewhat ambiguous, "in addition to the spacious master bedroom, there are rooms with three or four servants, professional waiters who have received etiquette courses, and the ship's chef is very skilled and can be appointed, and the service is very considerate......"

He smiled at Esther and nodded, hinting that it was obvious that Esther's face was a little hot, and that she must have looked too excited when she talked about Bansey Island specialties before.

"You know that very well......" Esther swept the price of thirty-five pounds for the first class of the White Onyx.

"Ellan used to be my boss, and he would often invite me to drinks and ask me to help him sell first class, but you can rest assured that everything I say is true!"

Esther and Klein were silent for two seconds at the same time.

After all, the first class is really expensive!

Klein opened his mouth again and asked, "Sir, what advice do you have for a sea adventurer?" ”

"Adventurer?"

The guard's voice subconsciously became much louder, causing the people in line to buy tickets to turn their heads and look here.

Klein's spiritual instincts were slightly touched, and he looked back at one of them, a man in his thirties with a rough face. However, when Esther stood beside Klein, even though he still maintained a cold attitude, many people subconsciously thought that he was bragging to his female companion and turned their eyes away.

"Is this kind of thing strange for sea adventurers?" Esther couldn't help but ask.

Now everyone who heard this turned their heads, and many people who had been to sea would still smile, just thinking that she was a silly girl who had watched too much drama or watched too much.

The guard thought the same thing, laughing and shaking his head:

"That's why I said, the real sea is very different from the stories of innocent girls, ma'am. A true adventurer at sea is an outlaw, a villain, and a perfidy, and of course, I'm not talking about you, sir.

There are three things I can give you to advise: one, don't provoke pirates, two, don't provoke pirates, and three, don't provoke pirates! ”

Esther looked at the expressionless Klein curiously: "Are there a lot of pirates on the route to the Rorsted Islands?" ”

"It's not just Rorsted! Unlike our sailors, who don't need a fixed route, they don't need a fixed route, even in dangerous seas. Those are the guys who are always fighting for their lives with the sea, they don't care about their own life or your life, they can do anything! ”

"I see, thank you for your advice."

The guard suddenly took two steps closer to Crane and whispered to him, "Seeing that you have a lady with you, maybe my reminder is a little redundant." But you still have to be careful of the girls on the island, their enthusiasm is fake, but they want to have a good life with the rich people. ”

Klein felt amused in his heart, and his face was expressionless: "Thank you, I see." ”

Then he looked at Esther, "Are you sure you want to come with me?" ”

"Hmm......" Esther hesitated for a few seconds, not noticing any bad premonition, and simply nodded, "Okay! I'll go. Let's go buy tickets now? ”

Crane adhered to the character of "Gelman Sparrow" and took the lead in leading her to the least crowded line without asking any more questions.

The guard hurriedly shouted behind the two of them: "The legends of the treasures on the sea are basically fake!" Don't believe it! That's a terrible trap! ”

Esther also waved at the guards, "Thank you for your advice, sir!" ”

Then she turned around again and whispered to Klein, "So my ID is with you?" ”

"Yes, the divination results are suitable for me."

"Thanksgiving! Sure enough, divination is convenient, should I just learn how to divination with you? It's a very useful skill. ”

Crane's unwavering sharp gaze crossed the gold-rimmed glasses and landed on Esther: "I haven't pursued the big trouble you caused in the East End. ”

Esther's body stiffened: "Ahaha, then I, let's find a place at noon to talk slowly, that's complicated......"

——

Klein and Esther bought two second-class tickets for the White Onyx, and Esther was distressed by the shrinking purse, but the next second, she was excited to introduce Crane to Pritzport Mint Balm.

"It's a bit punchy, but it's just the right amount of sweetness, and it goes well with bread or something! It can also be used to soak in water and drink, as if it were mint tea. ”

Then she directly stuffed the box of mint paste that she hadn't opened directly into Klein's hand, and Klein hesitated for a moment, and didn't refuse the kindness of the fellow: "Well, thank you." ”

The two found a three-story restaurant with private rooms, and after the waiter brought in the fried fish, seafood soup, and white bread, Crane locked the door, expertly took the props out of the box, and arranged a spiritual wall around the room.

"Do you have to be so careful?"

"Caution is necessary, there are so many ways for the Extraordinary World to track people down, and I don't think you want to be caught again."

Esther cut the hand of the fish cutlet: "That Mr. Shi-'Black Emperor' told you?" ”

"Yes, including the fact that you invited the gods to descend."

Klein kept a straight face, and even though Esther knew that he had entered the state of playing a character, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart.

Esther laughed dryly twice, and said weakly: "It's just because someone asked me for help, I can't help it, and I don't want to make a fuss like that, it's just ...... In the end, thanks to Mr. 'Black Emperor' for destroying the ritual of the Aurora Society, otherwise Beckland may have faced an even greater disaster. ”

Klein slowly sipped the seafood soup, letting the umami of clams fill the tip of his tongue: "How did you do that?" ”

"I recited the honorific name of 'Zoya', prayed directly to Him and borrowed His power briefly." Noticing that Klein's eyes were getting sharper, Esther quickly added, "But I've recovered!" ”

"In fact, what happened after I left Beckland was much worse......"

Esther briefly recounts her island survival story, only to surprise Klein after being robbed of her "ability to speak" on the first day.

Even if Klein wanted to play the cold character again, he couldn't keep calm: "You survived without eating or drinking for several days!?" ”

Esther chewed on the crispy fried fish and swallowed the contents of her mouth before continuing to talk about her learning to devour fate to draw energy, and the repeated encounters in the next few days, which made Klein feel more and more chills in his back the more he listened.

Seeing the worry in his eyes, Esther comforted again: "In fact, it's just because I have 'Zoya' in my body, Amon doesn't dare to parasitize me, otherwise I wouldn't be so troublesome." His so-called 'game' is just stalling for time, waiting for the Essence to land on the island. ”

Thank you, I wasn't comforted at all! Klein complained inwardly and had a detailed understanding of Esther's disappearance during this time.

No wonder the results of Esther's divination on the gray mist at that time would be so critical, and "Zoya" even gave a clear reply and was willing to help......

Klein looked at Esther, "Are you okay now?" ”

Esther tore half of the white bread and soaked it in the seafood soup: "To be honest, I've never felt so chic in my life. Maybe it's because you've lost it that it's more precious? Everyone knows this kind of truth, but it's best not to have such an experience. ”

Klein nodded approvingly: "It's so dangerous, so you're going to give up on tracking down the Amon family?" ”

"That family is all his doppelgangers, I mean 'all,'" Esther said with a gritted hatred, "can you imagine? He is completely one person who plays all the roles from master to wife to servant, even if he has a cat eighty percent of them are parasitized by him! ”

Crane sensed that something was not quite right with Esther's mood and did not answer.

"On that island, almost all the animals and insects were parasitized by him, and they were staring at me from all corners...... Fortunately, I slowly realized this, and I was not normal at that time, but I was not directly scared and fainted. ”

Her words were full of mockery of herself.

Crane put down the spoon in his hand, and no longer deliberately played the role of "Gelman", but asked gently, "Esther, what are you hating yourself for?" ”

Esther's hand trembled, and she nearly threw the spoon off the bowl.

"Sorry...... I'm not emotionally stable. Esther rubbed her cheeks, trying to calm herself.

She stared at the open clam in the bowl, as if she saw a shattered Teyana shell: "Amun Him...... Well, I don't want to hide it from you, he's looking for a god who has helped me so many times, and may threaten that benevolent 'fool'. ”

Klein knew that this wasn't really a reason to upset Esther, and he wasn't going to have a showdown right now: "You have to be careful of the 'evil gods' who may be disguised. ”

"All the blessings that are prayed to the gods will one day have to be paid for, won't they? As a former colleague of yours, I still have this self-awareness. ”

Esther pointed to her head and smiled at Klein.

She's also running away from the previous topic.

Klein was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "So you're planning to go to sea too?" ”

"In fact, I had planned to do so, and the winter in Beckland was not very friendly. But I was going to go to Southwell or Desey Bay to the west, and I wanted to make plans for the New Year with you. ”

Esther smiled bitterly: "I'm so sorry I couldn't make it to New Year's Eve with you." ”

"No, it's better than anything that you can escape. I'm going to the Rorsted Islands to find the news of the mermaid, and I'm going to play it on the way. ”

Esther raised the glass of ginger beer at Klein, "I hope the adventurer doesn't mind taking an extra burden this way." ”

Klein also raised his glass, touched the wall of the glass with Esther, and made a crisp sound: "Of course it's not a burden, how can a ship be without musicians?" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, sweeping away Fang Cai's sorrow.

The second watch, the Dragon Boat Festival is healthy.
