In the evening.

Because Aaron's spiritual intuition was crazy to warn for no reason, Toma, who had just stepped into the hotel with his front foot, was dragged out the door by Aaron with his hind foot. The two of them carried a few heavy boxes and set out on the way back to the "Clover" before it was completely dark.

"Don't tell me about your hunches and divination, I'll beat you up someday." Thoma had a gloomy face, and if the box in his hand didn't contain gold coins, he would be happy to give Aaron a look at the back of the head.

Aaron laughed out loud at this with great disdain: "Ha! It's like you're telling the 'craftsman' to never touch magical objects again. ”

"I'll pass you on to Mr. Alexander as it is, Aaron." Thoma sneered.

"I'm telling the truth, it's best for me to follow my heart, and to go with the flow of the times is the only way for luck to naturally develop into the situation that suits me best."

"Tsk."

As it got dark, Aaron tucked the box in his right hand under his arm, took out his pocket watch from his arms and looked at the time: "It's not too late for us to get back to the ship......

Suddenly, an inexplicable chill made Aaron stiffen, and he subconsciously glanced back in the direction of the central neighborhood of Behrens.

Thoma noticed Aaron's momentary pause: "What's wrong?" ”

"I don't know, I always feel that Behrens is quite restless today, and we will leave directly when the people who get off the boat come back tomorrow morning."

Aaron quickened his pace, and Thoma had to hurry to follow.

Circling into the cave where the Clover was located, the two quickly walked to the ship. They didn't need to call the sailor to lower the rope ladder, and Thoma pulled out a handful of silver powder from his bosom and sprinkled some on Aaron first, then the rest on himself.

Soon, the two of them flew lightly into the air, slowly flew in the direction of the "Clover", and landed smoothly on the cleaned deck.

"If it weren't for the fear of the existence of the 'Hidden Sage', maybe I would have chosen the 'Voyeur' in the first place, I hesitated for a long time." Aaron walked ahead with a grin, all the funds were to be brought back to Intis, including the part that would be distributed to the sailors on this ship, and they had to be put in the warehouse for safekeeping.

Thoma shook his head solemnly: "So you are really very lucky...... Damn, you really should go the 'monster' route. On average, I had to endure that kind of forced indoctrination twice a week, and some of them more often than that, and we don't know how we endured it over the years. ”

"Maybe you have some kind of good luck to get connected to this ship. The princess always helps us save our good fortune for the crucial moment. Aaron quipped.

Thoma tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Is it part of your good luck to let that Hamel board the ship?" ”

What Thomas didn't expect was that Aaron said very calmly and even proudly: "Of course! To be honest, this is probably the luckiest thing in my life! ”

If Esther were to describe it, she would be able to find a word like "brain-dead powder" that is quite appropriate, but cannot exist in this world.

Thoma couldn't think of it, he could only put on a straight face and said indifferently: "You are really hopeless." ”

"You're not my way, you won't understand." Aaron shook his head and said, this overly smug attitude made Thoma more and more angry.

After placing the boxes containing the rewards, Thoma resolutely went back to his cabin to rest, completely ignoring Aaron's invitation for a drink.

Aaron returned to the captain's room, looked through the ledger with a smile, and after checking the funds in the account, he smiled happily and picked out a bottle of Charlott from his private collection.

Just as Aaron was humming the boat song and pouring wine into the goblet, the "Clover" suddenly trembled. Aaron quickly raised the mouth of the bottle, but his reaction was still half a beat slower in such a sudden situation.

A large expanse of red wine spilled out, and Aaron felt his heart go cold.

"We have to clean it up again...... But the princess reacted so much, maybe it was Hamel and Mary. It's so late, why don't they find a hotel for the night? ”

After cleaning the table with his own hands, Aaron went to the deck in frustration.

Thoma had arrived much earlier than he was, but not out of premonition but out of vigilance, and he happened to meet the sailors on duty at night, and knew what the two ladies were shouting under the boat.

At this moment, Thoma was staring at Mary and the two of them climbing up the rope ladder to the boat, and asked Aaron the same question first: "You still ran back so late?" ”

Mary easily flipped over the side of the ship and stood firm on the deck: "There was some accident, I don't know why I was being targeted." ”

Esther also jumped up and smiled embarrassedly, "I feel like I've attracted strange forces." There are inexplicable blood servants, and there are people who are suspected of being members of the Spirit Order. ”

"Are you a scourge?" Aaron commented with a smile, because the cuffs were a little stained, and he still had a faint smell of wine on him, "Sibailon is so big, it's quite rare for you to be unlucky to this extent, this is probably the price of good luck." ”

Mary shook her head, "But we'd better get out of here." Those two blood servants went berserk, and the people of the Spirit Order took control of the nearby spirits, which would leave a lot of problems. ”

Thoma nodded expressionlessly: "The situation in the port of Behrens will definitely be very tense in the past few days, and it just so happens that we plan to do the same, and we will leave immediately when the rest of the people return to the ship tomorrow." ”

Mary walked to the stairs leading to the cabin with a sad face: "I knew I had bought two bottles of wine with me, let's go back and rest." Hamel? ”

Esther pointed at Aaron, "I have something to talk to Mr. Captain." ”

Aaron's eyes turned: "I won't invite you to drink." ”

"It's about getting down to business!"

——

Aaron sat back down at his desk, picked up his unfinished Charlotte again, and poured a fresh glass.

As Ester walked into the captain's quarters, she smelled the excessive smell of wine in the air: "Do the people of Intis like drinking so much?" ”

"It's like the people of Rune drink tea."

Esther couldn't help but smile and shake her head, what a stereotypical prejudice, although it was not wrong.

Aaron also laughed: "If you were a gentleman with no sense of humor, I would never dare to say this." When at sea, fresh water is easy to spoil and insects, and you should have heard of the truth that alcohol is better preserved. ”

"Even if Mr. Alexander sets up a device that purifies the water, there will be a strange smell." Esther added.

"Just get used to it. In the next period of time, we will return to Intis, and the voyage after that will not be short if we do not pass through the spiritual passage. Aaron took a sip of wine with enjoyment, "What did you want to tell me about the business?" ”

"Can you help me write to the 'Mystic Queen' to ask about something?"

Aaron shrugged his shoulders and gestured with his body language for Esther to pull over the chair and sit down, "Yes, but you have to tell me what happened on the island today." ”

Esther told her and Mary exactly what they had met in the port of Behrens, and she removed her gloves and glanced at Aaron's feathers on her hands that could not be fully contained.

"Blood servants, vampires, I'm not sure about these people, but I've heard that there are a small number of Primordial Moon believers operating in the Southern Continent. Others are most likely from the Spirit Order, and the source of the bone sword in your hand is also related to the 'Grim Reaper' belief after all. ”

Esther rubbed the back of her hand, "I just don't quite understand why they're targeting us so quickly. ”

Aaron thought for two seconds: "If it's just this matter, I can help you answer, I don't know if you've ever heard of the 'Law of Extraordinary Characteristic Aggregation'?" ”

"How?"

"High-order items from the same pathway will unconsciously attract medium-low sequences, and adjacent pathways will also be attracted to this attraction."

Esther nodded, "For the 'Pale Bone Spike' on my body, it's in line with this kind of aggregation, but I don't know why it attracts vampires-"

Her words paused for a moment, and she quickly remembered that she had seen the cult believer who was controlled by the puppet, and heard the words "I see you" when the puppet dissipated.

"What do you seem to remember?" Aaron could see Esther's hesitation.

"yes, I'm guessing a little."

The power hidden in the red moon overhead is completely different from the goddess of the night, and it is the other party who tracks her? Including "Mr. Men", who communicates with each other during the full moon that day, he is also surrounded by the red moon......

Esther rubbed her right eyebrow, "Aaron, you're going to explore the ruins when you get back to Intis, right?" ”

"yes, it looks like you've made up your mind."

Esther's eyes were particularly determined: "Please tell your teacher, I agree to go with you." ”

Aaron smiled and raised his glass to Esther: "I will, I'm always relieved to have you." ”

"Don't be so happy, I have conditions."

Aaron's smile deepened: "You need a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of a 'parasite', not a mere clue, right?" ”

Esther's eyes widened, and she quickly connected the key people in this matter: "Your teacher has already instructed you beforehand?" ”

"After all, in this matter, the clues are not equal to the help you may provide to us, and the teacher has long considered the situation that you may be overpaid. She told me that if this expedition could yield a similar price, she could give you the magical item directly through me. ”

"Is it a magical item?" Esther thought for a moment, but still approved such a reasonable deal, "If this expedition does not bring you satisfactory results, is she willing to sell that item?" ”

"Yes, yes, but she'll have other commissions for you in the future."

Esther was silent for a moment, then sighed helplessly: "Well, I don't have anything to say, your teacher's decision is actually very fair." ”

Aaron drank the last rosy of the goblet: "We don't need to set a trap in this area, safety is the priority, and that's the same for you." My teacher is also good at divination, which is the most appropriate choice for us. ”

Esther thought about the "blasphemy card" and guessed that the "mysterious queen" also had a fairly high level of divination, which was enough for Aaron to gain great confidence from this teacher.

Esther turned and walked towards the door of the captain's quarters: "Only one of my friends who is proficient in divination has told me that divination is not a panacea. ”

Aaron smiled and didn't speak, but he muttered a little in his heart: "Fortune teller"? Did Hamel still know the people of the Esoteric Order? There are more and more suspicions in her......
