Chapter 53: The Voyage

What is the feathered serpent in that picture?

It was only after the Pale Spike had gradually regained its composure that Esther pulled it out. The whitening sword danced in an arc in the air, and after making sure that its condition was correct, Esther stabbed it back into her palm, watching it return into a pattern of silver threads and feathers.

It's just that the feathers have become more vivid, and when Esther moves her palm, there is occasionally a hint of dark green, but it is not real, and it will make people who do not know its essence think that it is their own illusion.

The feathers on the top of the skeletal crocodile's head gradually shrank and scattered, and the bright red flesh quickly eroded and spread upwards. Esther quickly kicked the side of her skull where she could land, jumped back to the ground, avoided the blood scattered on the ground, and ran in Alexander's direction.

"Miss Hamel...... It's unbelievable, really. Is this a form of good luck? ”

Alexander smiled wryly and organized his words, because of the dizziness caused by the excessive spiritual consumption, after striking out the seed that gave birth to a huge flora, he could only lean under the trunk of the tree next to him for a short rest.

Thankfully, the monster was finally dealt with.

"Maybe yes, I've always been lucky." Esther said with a smile.

She reached out and lifted the frail old gentleman to his feet and took the heavy box in his hand. As Alexander passed by the lantern, he plucked it from the branch and lit the way for the two of them.

"Don't we need to deal with what is left over from the battle?" Esther looked back and glanced at the hill-like crocodile skeleton behind her, the jumble of plants growing into a giant mass, and the disgusting flesh that kept climbing up the skeleton.

Alexander shook his head: "It's okay, without the support of the spirit, the forged flesh magic will only last for a maximum of an hour, and most of those plants will wither, and a small part may be left to take root in place." ”

Esther looked at the huge flora for a few more seconds, if it had been placed in the world of the previous life, it would have become a spectacle, and maybe it would have been fenced off as an attraction or a park or something, and the entrance fee would be charged.

Since there was no need to deal with the follow-up, Esther's mind moved, and all the points of light fell back on top of her head, causing Esther's silver hair to be dyed pale cinnamon again. Only a small amount of silver remains on the inside of the sideburns, which is quite inconspicuous.

When Alexander saw this, he smiled and sighed: "I don't know if anyone has ever said that you are a strange person in every way, although it is rude to say so. ”

Esther amusedly matched Alexander's slightly stumbling steps: "Then why do you say that? If you're referring to these little guys, it's normal to be weird. ”

"Because you give me a strange feeling, a sense of separation. The look in your eyes when you're immersed in the judgment situation during the battle, and the feeling of being two people when you're chatting like you are now. ”

Hearing these words, Esther's expression paused for a moment, and then she looked away from the gaze that was looking at Alexander just now: "I'm more focused when I'm fighting, maybe it has something to do with being an official extraordinary person before." ”

Alexander chuckled, but his voice grew deeper and deeper because of his weakness: "Aha, you can see it. Isn't saying such things really tempting me? ”

Esther put on a friendly smile again: "Even if I don't have to try, I can get the corresponding reasoning result from this kind of thing by observing, I have already guessed this." ”

Alexander nodded: "Let me think about it, first of all, you are from Rune, considering the situation of the church over there, you are not a 'craftsman' who relies on magical items, you must be different from me." And the Storm Church, you know better than I do. ”

"It's incredible to think about how they accept a female extraordinary. That being said, there should also be women among the substitutes...... Right? ”

Because he was carrying a horse lamp, Alexander could only use the back of his hand to hold the glasses that were sliding up and down the bridge of his nose: "At least I haven't seen it at sea in the past few years." The Church of the Eternal Sun in Intis is at odds with the Church of the Storm, so I don't know much about the Substitute Punisher, so it's most likely that you're the Night Watchman. ”

Esther fell silent. After half an hour of quiet progress, Alexander finally recovered a little from his spiritual exhaustion, and was able to pick up the strength to walk on his own, and no longer needed Esther to hold him all the time.

It's still half way from the shore.

"Your ability seems very special," Alexander said softly, "because of the way, I am more sensitive to it. It seems that their abilities are limited in some way, and they are not used to the extent they should. ”

Esther stroked the hair that was scattered in front of her forehead twice: "Extraordinary abilities are actually quite strange, aren't they?" They are not exceptional, they have been with me since I was conscious. ”

She's seen enough strange things, such as ancient gods, or all kinds of monsters and evil spirits.

"If I hadn't seen that scene before, I would have hardly imagined that these points of light would be hidden in your hair, but I do understand your indifference after the bone sword melted into the palm of your hand."

"Maybe it's just getting used to it. It's like what Russell the Great said, right? If there are more lice, you won't feel itchy, and if you owe more debts, you won't feel worried. ”

Alexander shook his head with a wry smile: "You should know that there is a huge hidden danger in this, right?" Not to mention that you're still a 'thief' yourself. In the case of any extraordinary person, if you put an extra channel potion or extraordinary trait in your body, you will go crazy and fall into a state of loss of control.

"Even if you have a special constitution, such an unrestricted fit into your body does not rule out the risk of losing control. Don't let you ...... just because you have such special abilities I'm sorry, but I'm in the habit of lecturing people again. ”

The smile on Esther's face was much more sincere: "No, thank you for your concern. It's normal to be preachy, after all, I'm also a student of your language class. ”

"Hahaha...... That's right, could it be that you got off the boat to come to us for class? Alexander shook his head, amused by such speculation.

"Maybe that's it, it's the guidance of fate." Esther rubbed the pattern on the back of her hand twice, and the dark green flashed under her fingertips.

"You do give me the impression that Aaron does do that, and he sometimes does this way, letting things go their own way and letting it go for its own way."

Alexander sighed, this time instead of talking anymore.

They finally walked out of the woods, and followed the many footprints in the woods to the beach, where the four-leaf clover was surrounded by a large mass of foam, and the man at the bow of the ship carried a lantern to illuminate the red coat draped over his shoulders.

"It seems that Captain Aaron has done divination and knows that we will return safely."

"Although Thoma was also a diviner, he was not keen on it at all, as opposed to Aaron, who relied entirely on divination." Alexander said with a smile.

"After all, personality is also a very important factor." Esther said casually.

She looked up at the lantern that shook twice on the bow of the boat and waved her hand at it.

They returned to the ship.

——

At the other end, Byam.

In order to meet with the "Iceberg Lieutenant General", Klein took Daniz to the bar to show his head arrogantly, and then went to Erlan to buy a ticket for the island of Terrinhos, from where he planned to transfer to Glagus.

On the surface, "Gelman" is still expressionless, but Crane is thinking about whether to write another letter to his fellow countryman, since he is leaving Byam, maybe he should inform her when she will return.

Klein has not replied to the letter that Esther sent the other day. It doesn't seem good to keep replying, and it's not a waste of the gold coin to tell her about her next plan.

The postage fee of one gold coin is really expensive, but it is also quite convenient to be able to send a letter regardless of the space distance.

With this idea in mind, when Klein returned to the hotel, he went back to his room to find a pen and paper, and put his next trip into words and put it on paper.

Well, I don't need to tell Esther about finding the red-haired Elaine, she has already provided me with enough clues, and the next thing is to see if there is any information about the Poseidon cultists near the Intis embassy.

The fact that the underground gods would have such a convenient intelligence network was not expected by Crane at first, but it helped him a lot.

However, it is impossible for Klein to tell Esther about the temptation of the "Lieutenant General of Disease" and the pursuit of the Grim Reaper's literature, and it is also a "tradition" to report good news and not bad news.

After writing the letter, Klein skimmed through it to make sure there was nothing too worrying. It will be some time before he has fully digested the Faceling's potion, so he can wait until he agrees to meet with Esther and ask her to help him steal the contamination from the "Black Eye" and use it as the main ingredient for the "Master of the Puppet" potion.

Crane folded the written letter paper and stuffed it into an envelope, setting up a spiritual wall and a ritual to summon messengers in the room.

Fortunately, he also knew a "thief" and had a very friendly relationship, otherwise he would have to go to the Tarot Society to ask for public opinion on this matter, and when the time comes, the "world" will still have to entrust Esther to go around in a circle, so it is better to solve it in private.

Miss Courier should be able to help with the delivery of things, right?

"Me!

"In my name I call:

"A spirit that wanders in vanity, a friendly creature to be driven, a messenger that belongs alone to Gelman Sparrow."

In the flickering candlelight, Renette Tinicor, with four heads in her hands, stepped out of the swelling flames.

"Do you want to ......", "Send a letter...... "Give it to ......", "Who?"

"To the lady who sent you a letter last time, what you called 'light'. Can you find her location? ”

To Klein's surprise, the Miss Courier shook all four of her heads at the same time:

"No...... "There is a ...... interference", "There is no way to ......", "Find her."

Klein thought for two seconds, and suddenly remembered that he had another item: "If I have something about her, can I track her?" ”

"It depends on ......", "what ...... is", "not necessarily ......", "useful."

Klein pulled out a broken knot of peace.

"Is this thing okay?"

Miss Courier looked at the thing for a moment, then nodded:

"This ......", "can be ......", "a ......", "gold coins."

Klein handed over the gold coin, the letter, and the peace knot, and let Miss Courier's three heads catch each other.

Before Renette returned to the Spirit Rift, Klein hurriedly asked again, "Then can you return the peace knot to me after you send her the letter?" I'll wait for the next delivery to use it. ”

The only empty head replied to him: "Okay." ”

Under Crane's gaze, the figure in the intricate dress returned to the spirit realm and disappeared into his room.

Did Miss Courier say that there was interference, was it from Esther, or was it the Clover she was on, or was it Zoya?

Fortunately, this peace knot can be used to track her down, and it can also be recovered.

Kleins and the Silver City fairy tale about the lark wondered if the fairy tale of the olive branch, thorn ring, and wreath of flowers ever existed.

Do they still exist? And in whose hands?
