Esther had finished her meal and paid for it before she wandered leisurely through the streets of Byam.

She didn't dress up in any disguise today, nor did she wear a cape, but wore the dress she wore when she pretended to be a red-haired lady before, and she looked particularly gentle and harmless.

Coupled with the fact that the "scammer" itself has a charismatic amplification, she seems to be no different from the young lady who comes to Baiam, wandering around with an innocent and curious expression.

Even as Esther was picking fruit among the vendors, the young lady with a Beckland accent was reminded to be safe, that they were hunting for wanted pirates, that the weak lady had better not travel alone, and so on.

Esther smiled and thanked the other party for her kindness, and quickly left the market with her purchases.

"It's really underestimated......

Esther took a bite of a rose-colored apple and ate it as she walked, and when she passed by a bakery, she perfunctorily packed a few spiced bacon sandwiches for Daniz, which were wrapped in large leaves in order to save money.

In the hotel of the "Blue Wind", Daniz was crouching in front of the radio receiver with a newspaper, unable to go anywhere.

"Hey, your lunch."

As soon as Esther entered, she threw the sandwich at Daniz, who couldn't help but complain after catching the outer layer with precision:

"You were so generous yesterday, and you are so picky today. Can you bring me two bottles of wine when you come back in the afternoon? ”

Esther pointed to the telegraph: "Don't think about it, you still have a mission to do." Is there any movement in the newspapers? There are still quite a few soldiers patrolling around the outside today. ”

Daniz, with a sad face, handed her the newspaper: "Read it for yourself......"

Esther flipped through the newspaper quickly, and soon found the cause of Daniz's headache, and she immediately laughed: "Yo, you're expensive!" ”

"What are you talking about!?"

"Five thousand five hundred gold pounds, Mr. Flame, a young and promising 'Flame', come and share with me your experience of raising prices?"

Daniz hatefully thumped the armrest of the easy chair twice: "It's not funny at all! If my bounty continues to rise like this, I won't even be able to get out of the door! It's going to be besieged! ”

"Then you don't go out, just to help Gelman listen to the signal." Esther rolled her eyes, "Look, you're going to go for a spin at the bar and attract a few tails who don't have good intentions toward you." The strength of daring to come and arrest you will definitely not be too bad, but it is not high, and then Gelman and I are secretly ambushing and squatting, and when the time comes, as soon as these people are arrested, won't their bounties be in hand? ”

"Why do you sound so skilled......

Esther shrugged: "Because this was our plan before, and now that I think about it, it's much more appropriate for you to be a decoy than me." ”

Daniz thought along this line of thought for a few seconds: "What if there are too many people on the other side and we are surrounded instead?" ”

"I can leave you and run away."

"Shit! I shouldn't have listened to your! Daniz glared at Esther in disgust, and unceremoniously nibbled on the sandwich, deciding that he would leave her alone.

Gelman was as cold as a stone and crazy as indefinite, Hamel's mouth was full of strange things that people couldn't tell if they were true or false, and her apparent kindness and easy-going were all disguises!

Esther, of course, couldn't hear the slander in Denize's heart, and even if she knew, she wouldn't care, and she flipped through the rest of the newspaper to see the news of many pirates being caught, as well as notices against local "outlaws".

"I'm probably going to see the second officer of the Clover in two days, and I don't know what kind of person it will be."

"You really agreed to their commission, is he going to come to Baiam?"

Esther nodded: "I hope it's a better person to deceive." ”

"You're really sinister."

"I'm just saying that, and it doesn't mean I'm really going to lie to them. I just made a request to visit their ship. ”

This time, Daniz's vision was more subtle: "Are you not going to die?" What's the difference between this and paddling a sampan into a storm!? ”

"I'm just curious about them, very, very curious."

Esther's eyes were half-squinted, and her smile was sly.

Daniz shook his head in disapproval: "It's better not to go." The pirate ship is the base camp of a pirate group, and if they want to do something to you, even some notarization can be avoided. Maybe the other party has the means to break the contract, so what's the difference between you going in this way and sending you to death? ”

"That's what you say...... But I think I should take a look. ”

"Then do you want to leave me some inheritance - oops, what are you kicking me for! I'm just kidding! You can leave it to Gelman! ”

Esther put the newspaper back on the table and took out another banana: "But you have a point, I need to discuss it with Gelman." ”

Later in the evening, Klein also returned to the Blue Wind, and after he had read Mr. Azik's reply to the Personal Courier, Esther suggested that she "wanted to visit the Clover".

To Esther's bewilderment, Klein didn't explicitly say yes or no, after listening to her plan, but told her to wait a while, and then went back to the house and didn't know what to do.

Daniz raised an eyebrow triumphantly: "Look, if you want me to say, even Gelman doesn't support you doing this, but he doesn't say it directly." ”

Esther let out a depressed "hiss".

But it wasn't long before Crane came to the living room and handed Esther a few charms.

His face looked a little tired:

"This kind of thing that can get close to marine life and drive them freely. This allows you to breathe and move underwater for half an hour, but you can try to extend it. All of them are launched in the ancient Hermetic word 'storm'. ”

"I'll be embarrassed if you do this...... Esther said, quickly stuffing four charms into her satchel, "When the time comes, I'll give you two hundred gold coins!" ”

"No, you don't." Crane shook his head with a straight face, just made a few spells with the "Seagod Scepter", which didn't have much material consumption for him.

Esther was resolute: "No, no, I still want it!" I can't take this for nothing. ”

Esther keenly caught the helpless smile in Klein's eyes, even though he still said with a blank face, "Whatever you want." ”

——

On Thursday afternoon, Klein returned to the Blue Wind Hotel from an unused abandoned warehouse.

He looked up and looked up twice, and for some reason, several seagulls were crouching on the roof and standing in a row, huddled together curiously.

Soon Klein knew why, and as he approached the door, he faintly heard the sound of a harmonica, and Esther was playing an old song, as if it was called "Lights on the Stars" or something, and Klein felt strange.

The scope of the fellows is really extensive......

As he pushed the door in, Klein saw Daniz sitting quietly in an easy chair, tapping his palms on his knees.

Esther stopped after playing the song and greeted Klein, "I'm going to the docks today to see the people fishing, because they have a terrible harvest and I'll be back early." Daniz said that he did not receive any signal of a 'blood general' today. ”

Crane hung his top hat and coat on the coat rack and asked, "Well, do you have pen and paper?" ”

Esther pulled something out of the drawer and handed it to Klein, "Do you have something to record?" ”

Klein quickly wrote a few lines and handed them to Esther, and Daniz next to him leaned over curiously, but Crane didn't stop him.

"A spirit that wanders in vanity, a friendly creature to be driven, a messenger that belongs to Gelman Sparrow...... Is it a spell that summons your messenger? ”

Esther was a little surprised, so that even if the two were not together, she could easily contact Klein and no longer have to worry about losing contact!

Then Klein suddenly added: "Hold the ceremony, one gold coin at a time." ”

Esther stared at him for a few seconds, embarrassed to express the confusion and question in her heart: Why is your messenger also a wealth addict!

Esther looked at the incantations again, and felt itchy in her heart: "I want my own messenger too, it looks so convenient." ”

"There's a chance."

Knowing that Esther wasn't necessarily really in touch with anyone, and that he was the only person she was most likely to write to, Justher simply thought the "messenger" thing was funny.

I don't know if Esther will dispel this idea after seeing Miss Courier's four heads. Crane thought back to the strange creatures he had seen in the spirit world, and was a little curious about what kind of messenger Esther could summon.

Klein also briefly explained the flow of two specific rituals, including the spells required to summon spirit creatures. This made Daniz next to him look disdainful of Esther, he didn't expect "Hamel" to be so occult in ritual magic.

"That's just right! By the time I visit the captain on the Clover, I won't have to worry about not being able to contact you. Esther didn't look at Daniz's expression at all, and happily stuffed the note with the incantation into the compartment of her satchel.

But in this way, the way I agreed with Miss Sharon at that time seemed to be meaningless. Hopefully she doesn't mind......

——

The next day.

It was Friday morning, and Esther and Klein stepped out of the "blue wind" together, leaving Daniz with a grieved face to continue to guard the radio receiver.

Esther was going to meet the second mate of the Clover at the "Café Teyana" today, and out of some indescribable premonition, she took her suitcase with her.

Crane is going to continue to look for opportunities to play the role of "Faceling" and covertly fulfill the wishes of some of the "Poseidon" believers, and it may take a few months for him to digest before he is ready to advance to the next sequence.

Even in Daniz's absence, Klein strictly followed the role of "Gelman", with a cold face between words and deeds: "Notify me if there is anything." ”

In fact, Crane ran up to the gray fog last night, grabbed the ball of light and did a few divination for Esther, making sure that her actions were not dangerous, and then he was relieved.

Esther smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile, I'll keep your charms well." There are so many practical effects on the sea that it is enough to walk sideways. ”

Crane pressed his top hat: "Be careful. ”

"Of course, so are you, don't be too risky."

The two said goodbye at the street corner and went in different directions.
