Chapter 21 Landing Port
As soon as the tarot meeting was over, Esther did not rush out directly, but lay on the bed for a few more minutes.
Then she pretended to have just gotten up, and came to the door of the servant's room where D'Alley lived, and knocked twice.
Curious, she held back.
Daniz opened the door with a grimace, sleepy-eyed.
He was actually taking a nap - and the only one of the three in the room who really believed in "napping".
"Daniz, what exactly is your path?" Esther, who was 1.6 meters tall, stood at the door, menacing.
"Call me Zigen! Not, Ziggy! Daniz was gradually distracted by Esther's garbled name, and he raised his head in disdain, "Why should I tell you?" β
It's rare for Hamel to have something to ask for herself, and of course Daniz doesn't want to tell her just like that, so he simply folds his arms and looks at this person condescendingly with an anxious face, and Daniz is very proud.
Esther's eyes narrowed, and her right hand was clenched one by one.
She decisively stole the idea from Daniz's head:
"Hunters, provocateurs, arsonists......"
Daniz quickly came back to his senses from his trance and shook his head: "You, what are you doing!?" β
Esther shook her empty right hand, "Nothing." Thanks, I see. β
But Daniz always had a gut feeling that reminded him: "You must have done something!" You have a look like you've done something bad! β
Esther subconsciously tugged at the corners of her mouth and returned her demeanor to normal: "Your sequence eight is called 'provocateur'?" β
"yes, what's wrong? Who told you that? β
"You told me."
Esther left the door and walked out the door to pass the time on deck, now that the afternoon sun was shining, she needed to find a place to calm down.
Daniz looked back blankly for a moment, not remembering that he had told Hamel or Gelman about it.
He's been fooled by this liar again?
ββ
Esther stood on the side of the ship, gazing quietly at the sea, but her heart was as chaotic as a thread.
She really wanted to ask the evil spirit of the underground ruins again, but no matter how strong her curiosity and doubts were, she would not let her risk her life recklessly.
"Miss Hamel."
Esther turned around and saw Captain Ellan wearing a boat-shaped hat.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Captain." Esther smiled brightly.
Erlan nodded at her, "It looks like Mr. Gelman or that gentleman isn't with you." β
"yes, they're probably still taking a nap, after all, that happened last night, and Gelman only went back to his room in the morning to rest."
Esther leaned against the railing, not knowing what the captain had in mind when he came, and she couldn't figure it out for a while.
Erlan nodded and looked at the sea: "Today's wind is very strong, but the waves are just right, if it has been so smooth, maybe we can reach Baiam in advance." β
Esther didn't know how to answer, but replied vaguely, "It's good luck." β
"If you go to Byam for any special purpose, you'd better keep a low profile, there are quite a lot of pirates moving there, and it's easy to be targeted."
Erlan lowered his voice: "It's just a reminder, thanks to you in Bansi Harbor before, I didn't tell the punisher about you. β
"Is that so...... Thank you for your kindness. Esther smiled slightly, "But Gelman's target is the pirates. β
"So, he's really a sea adventurer?"
Esther pointed to herself, "He is, but I am not." I'm just a musician at sea. β
"Hahaha...... Very few people would introduce themselves like that," Ellan laughed, and the tension gradually eased, "Then I wish you all the best." β
Esther looked at his departing back, but had a guess about Erlan's conversation.
This captain was guarding against her, for what? Because of the kind of light point ability I showed before, he thought that I might pose a threat to this ship, and came out of it to show goodwill?
It's really a keen eye, and he deserves to be a captain. Compared to Crane, who seemed crazy but actually landed on the island to save people, he was more worried about the abnormality in me, because those spots of light looked like an out-of-control extraordinary person when they surfaced.
What a good captain in charge.
Esther smiled and stretched, staring at the waves that were more intense than the previous days.
Byam...... It's really exciting.
ββ
On the evening of January 12.
The White Onyx had a smooth journey and arrived at the port of Tiana half a day early.
However, the weather began to deteriorate when we entered the port, and dark clouds hung low in the dark sky, and it seemed that a torrential rain would fall overhead at any moment.
"Good bumpy ......"
Esther leaned against the window, looking out at the waves that kept crashing against the hull, and frowned slightly.
Daniz stood right behind her, smirking his teeth at her: "This is the sea!" No matter how powerful it is, it is very small in front of the sea! β
"Should we be there soon?"
"Yes, we will definitely be able to stop in the 'City of Generosity' before the sky completely changes, and find an inn to avoid it when the time comes."
Esther glanced at Klein, "Do you want to trade this guy for a bounty?" β
She saw Crane's eyes straighten for a moment, not to mention Daniz, who was suddenly intimidated, and the "hunter" took two steps back and looked at Esther with a panicked expression.
Esther smiled at him and said, "Just kidding." β
How do I think you were really asking me for my opinion at that moment...... Klein sighed in his heart.
Daniz took another step back to the side, a little farther away from Hamel, and then he saw Gelman's icy gaze turn as well.
After staring for a few seconds, Crane saw that Daniz was almost frightened, and then spoke: "Tell me what contact points Byam has for pirates." β
Daniz's face twitched violently.
Forget it, as long as these two people's targets aren't me, it doesn't matter who they are!
With this in mind, Daniz poured all the news he knew to the two people in front of him.
It didn't take long for the White Onyx to let out a long whistle and land in the port of Tiana before the rainstorm.
The trio also came to the deck and stood behind the other passengers waiting to disembark.
Esther and Daniz are still chatting:
"Speaking of which, why is this the name of the 'City of Generosity'?"
Daniz is quite keen to chat, and does not hesitate to show what he knows in front of Esther, which is quite a kind of ostentation:
"Byam is rich in everything, from spices to minerals, and the climate is suitable for growing all year round and the soil is fertile...... So the first colonists who came here gave such a name. β
"They believe that it is a treasure land of milk and honey that has been promised by the gods."
Esther nodded thoughtfully, "Did you come here a lot before?" β
"Of course, there's a lot to go here...... Well, if you say, just look for restaurants to eat everywhere, there are still a lot of specialties in Byam. β
Esther glared at him, and when she saw that Donna's family and Cleves were approaching, she didn't say anything more.
Uldy Blanche stepped forward and asked Klein how he could contact him if he wanted to be hired.
After Klein gave the contact information advertised in the newspaper, the family continued to walk down the aisle to the gangway, but Donna suddenly slowed down and suddenly approached Klein's side:
"Uncle Sparrow, why do you ...... if that power must bring danger and madness?"
The first words that Klein whispered:
"For the dream."
Esther looked at the side face of "Gelman" and made up in her heart: to go home.
Then Klein's voice deepened, and he spat out two more words:
"And, Guard."
Guard......
Esther suddenly looked away, her heart twitching inexplicably, which made her subconsciously raise her right hand and rub her eyebrows.
I always feel a little pain in my head.
After the Donna family left, Crane looked back to see that Esther had returned to normal, and only Daniz was looking at her suspiciously.
"Daniz."
Klein shouted.
Daniz looked back blankly: "Huh? β
"You're free."
Crane lowered his top hat and made his way to the gangway first.
Daniz looked at Esther again, his face full of disbelief: "Did I hear me right?" β
Esther shook her hand at him, and quickly followed Crane's back in front of her: "Do you really want to be three thousand gold pounds?" I said it all, it was just a joke! β
ββ
Klein and Esther walked down the streets of Byam, which was much denser and more prosperous than Bansey Island.
But because of the approaching rainstorm, not many people walk on the road except for the howling wind, and even if there is, they are often in a hurry, eager to find a place to shelter from the rain.
Because Klein was not in a hurry, Esther did not speed up his pace.
"Shall we go find a hotel first?" As she spoke, Esther's eyes lingered on the signs of several passing restaurants.
"Hmm."
Esther even heard the meaning of "in time" from the bland responseβGod knows how she heard it.
"Is it really okay to just let Daniz go?"
"How?"
Esther touched her chin, not quite sure of her hunch: "I always feel that Mr. Golden Pound has a bad face, and when he is around you, he can be diluted by your fortune a lot." β
Klein gave her a puzzled look, but Esther understood what he hadn't said, "When are you going to look at your face again?"
"Maybe it's because it's bad luck for him to meet you?"
"Gelman"-style silence, Klein said nothing with a cold face.
When the two of them passed through an alley, the sound of messy footsteps suddenly came from inside.
Esther subconsciously put her hand on the claw knife on her lower back, and Crane's spiritual intuition did not alarm, indicating that the comer was not threatening, he just stood quietly in place.
The footsteps were getting closer, and there was a short, painful breath.
Esther's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at a man covered in blood, stumbling in the direction of the two men.
During the run, the man's chest and abdomen, which were bleeding constantly, were exposed, and the wound was so deep that the organs exposed in the air could be seen.
"Daniz!?"
