When Klein walked into the luxurious suite of Azure Wind, he saw Daniz sleeping directly in the armchair in the living room, and the room was filled with the smell of alcohol that had not yet completely dissipated.

Did this guy go out and go crazy all night......

As soon as Klein approached, Daniz suddenly woke up, he was still somewhat alert, including the increase in the "Hunter" sequence in this regard.

"Gelman, it seems that Hamel didn't come back last night, haah......"

Daniz yawned as she pointed to Esther's hidden door, which she tended to close when she was inside.

Klein nodded, a little surprised in his heart, but he didn't worry much, anyway, Esther was also an extraordinary person, and with her ability, it was no problem to escape.

"You didn't run." Crane hung his silk top hat on the coat rack and suddenly said this.

The chill behind Daniz immediately came out again: "Shit! Why should I run!? ”

Klein looked at Danitz quietly for a few seconds, and the corners of his mouth gradually curled:

"Four thousand two hundred gold pounds."

Then, under Daniz's frightened eyes, Crane happily walked back to his room to catch up on sleep.

When Esther returned to the "Blue Wind", as soon as she pushed open the door of the room, she felt an anomaly in the room, Daniz was no longer in the living room, only the faint smell of alcohol that had not fully volatilized.

But she sensed what seemed to be strange fluctuations in Daniz and Crane's house.

Just in case, Esther sat down in another chair and waited patiently for the situation to end.

Klein and "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" Edwina Edwards end their negotiations in the dream, and this exchange with Danitz's dream as an intermediary comes to an end.

Esther, noticing that the strange atmosphere was gone, did not arouse any alarm, and knocked on Daniz's door in confidence.

As for why she didn't knock Klein, of course she would choose the side that talked more to bother.

Daniz rubbed his face violently, and the dazed feeling in his dream had not yet dissipated, which made his eyes look a little sluggish:

"What do you want to do...... Oh, it's you. ”

"Gelman is back?"

"Well, you just knock on his door." Daniz rubbed his temples impatiently, his head growing at the conversation between Captain and Gelman in the dream.

Esther looked at his demeanor and quickly analyzed, "You were all sleeping before?" Dreamland? ”

"Well, it's my captain...... Ask Gelman! ”

Esther waved her hand and turned back to her room: "It's okay, he'll tell me what he should tell me when the time comes." ”

Daniz watched blankly as Esther walked back to the room and closed the door, filled with indignation:

So what's the point of you calling me up!? Simply don't want me to get a good night's sleep?

——

In the evening, before the two go out, Esther has to take on the task of helping Daniz with her disguise again.

"No way, who made someone's makeup skills too bad? Aren't you an Intius? ”

Daniz was quite unconvinced: "Not every Intis man knows how to wear makeup!" I'm a big pirate! It's not a little white face! ”

"Well, it's my stereotype." Esther admitted this nonchalantly, and used a loose brush to smooth out the brown slurry on Daniz's face, and applied all his exposed skin quite carefully.

"Engrave what?" Daniz didn't understand too much.

Klein, who understood, didn't bother to explain, but asked Esther another question: "You stay?" ”

"Yes, since you helped me divinate the potion that changed the color of the eyes is not a big problem and can last for two hours, I will try to verify the effect tonight."

"Tomorrow morning." Klein remembered what Esther had said about the day of departure.

Esther spread a little powder over Daniz's face, giving his complexion a natural blood-hued color. When Daniz tried to reach out and scratch his chin, Esther unceremoniously poked him hard at the end of the brush, which made Daniz curse quietly.

Esther replied to Klein's topic with a flat face:

"Yes, tickets for tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. Because of the voyage on Simim Island, I had to come back in a day. Don't worry, I won't be slashed twice in the street, as long as I don't get intercepted on the sea, I'll be quick to escape. ”

Daniz suspected what she was hinting at, and he had a sense of being provoked.

Klein nodded slowly, because he had experienced the incident of pretending to be a native and being scolded by the innkeeper, he specially reminded Esther: "The locals are more troublesome to dress up. ”

"And this kind of thing? I see, then I don't need to dress up too locally, it's more convenient. Esther put down her paintbrush and tin can with slurry water, and nodded at Daniz, "Alright, you two can go." Don't scratch! ”

"Got it!" Daniz immediately lowered his hand and followed behind Crane with an angry face, his skin was now as dark as that of a native, and his eyebrows and features were more rugged.

Of course, Klein doesn't have to be so troublesome, the Faceling's abilities are better than makeup.

After the two of them left the "Blue Wind", Esther put away the things on the table, took out the bottle of green liquid, and dropped two drops in her right eye.

After a slight tingling and cooling, she went to the mirror and found that the middle part of her eye had turned an emerald green, a little darker than the young lady, but at first glance indistinguishable.

Esther rolled her eyelids slightly to the side, noticing a faint streak of blood.

This staining effect seems to be some kind of toxin, but it is limited to a strong reaction in the iris part, and if it is not for the improvement of the physical fitness of the extraordinary person, I am afraid that ordinary people will be left with the sequelae of reduced vision.

Esther had expected that the night would have been peaceful.

She lazily nibbled on dried fruit she bought from a local vendor, flipped through magazines of local pirate anecdotes, and took a few extra glances at the template with the wanted post.

There was no other discomfort after the discoloration of her right eye, and she passed the time leisurely, thinking about the next two days.

Something grim seemed to be approaching, and Esther couldn't help but frown.

She slowly lowered the magazine in her hand, closed her eyes and cleared her mind so that she could calm down and identify the source of the alarm.

The other party seemed to be getting closer and closer, but the person with that strange aura felt too familiar to Esther.

Klein?

Esther rolled over, picked up her satchel and ran downstairs to the hotel.

She ran in the direction of her senses, her gaze sweeping over the shadows of the houses and the mouths of the sewers, and everywhere there were vertical pupils and snake eyes hidden in the darkness.

Esther had already seen Klein and Daniz one after the other.

Although Klein was surprised in his heart, he nodded at Esther with an expressionless face: "Go back." ”

Esther pulled out the harmonica in her hand: "You go ahead." ”

Klein's feet didn't stop, and he even increased his speed, and Esther's action always gave him a bad premonition: "You be careful." ”

Daniz was more blunt: "It's all snakes in the back!" What are you delaying, let's go back together! ”

"Go quickly, too, lest you see things you shouldn't see."

Esther threw down her last warning, heard Daniz run after Klein's footsteps, and when the two were far enough, the snakes that were hiding in the shadows spat out letters and "hissed" around her in the middle.

Instead, Esther closed her eyes and sketched a vaguely shaped light in her mind, and she brought the harmonica to her lips and gently blew a long, sustained bass.

As the sound waves spread at the same time, there was also a chaotic perception in her mind, and the chaotic and mixed color patches cut the material world apart.

Transliteration.

Esther's hair fluttered up and swirled around her.

As more and more snakes converged in the direction of the harmonica, closer to the center of the sound, Esther took a deep breath and played a jumbled tune.

In the short moment of the abrupt resonance, the snakes closest to Esther paused for a moment, allowing her to keenly capture the subtle light, fused with the power of the individual itself that could be pulled by fate, as long as she focused on a similar target—

Catch & Devour.

Esther opened her eyes, and the four-pointed star-like circular mark appeared again under her eyes, shining in both pale and green eyes at the same time.

The dots of light floating above Esther's head swept out at the same time, like faint meteors, dragging the light across the darkening night, with a clear target of burrowing into the locked snakes.

Because the target is not a highly intelligent or self-aware creature, Esther can now skip the process of resonance and leave the work of "extraction" directly to the offspring.

In just a moment, the dots of light that had scattered out and fallen into the shadows everywhere dragged the light back to the top of Esther's head, and fell silent in her hair.

Those snakes hidden in the shadows were devoured by fate, and their vitality also quickly dissipated.

Esther touched her forehead and felt the feedback from the dots of light between her hair:

For a creature without a powerful spirit, the replenishment effect is similar to the feeling of stuffing between her teeth, and it can only be used to nourish her body for a while, which doesn't mean much to her personally.

Far inferior to the Amon clone that was caught on the island before.

Esther tucked the harmonica back into her satchel, she loosened the range of her perception a bit, and threw it into a few nearby houses, but luckily no one was paying attention here, and Esther moved very quickly.

The alley itself was dark and not on the main street, and after making sure that no one was "watching", Esther used a point of light to dispel any remaining traces of the occult, and then hurried in the direction of the "Azure Wind".

But by the time she rushed upstairs, the cold aura had dissipated, and Esther rushed into the room, almost knocking over Daniz, who was standing stupidly in the living room.

"Sorry! Confiscate! How happened to Gelman? ”

Esther locked the main door and looked into Klein's room, just as she heard the sound of the lock being opened, and Gelman's grim face appeared in the doorway.

There was no longer anything unusual in Esther's perception: "Are you alright?" ”

Daniz was much more nervous than Esther, looking Klein up and down, "You—you just ......"

"Solved." Klein replied indifferently.

Esther hesitated for two seconds, but still asked, "This matter doesn't seem to be simple, and it has a very high level of power involved. What else do you seem to have in mind? ”

"Help me write flyers."

"Flyers?"

Hearing such an answer, Daniz and Esther were stunned for a moment.

"Gelman" pushed his gold-rimmed glasses: "Notice about the ruins of 'Poseidon' and the status of 'Poseidon'." ”

Esther instantly thought of the situation when she teamed up with the "Hanged Man" before: "You flyer...... It wasn't going to be delivered to a local church, was it? ”

"Yes."

Esther curiously pulled out a pen and paper: "Okay, then how do you write it, I'll try to use a different handwriting." ”

Daniz asked even more blankly, "Then who are you going to let you post?" Wouldn't that attract the attention of the church? ”

Esther and Crane's eyes fell on him at the same time.

Daniz suddenly wanted to go back to the Golden Dream.
