By the time Esther had finished lunch and left the restaurant, the people who had been fighting at the door were long gone, and she saw two broken teeth on the side of the road, and it was not difficult to imagine the tragedy of the scene.

Because she had drunk the bottle of Nepos, the crimson on Esther's cheeks never faded.

She quickly slipped into an alley, and Esther didn't have to wait long before an innocent passing seagull landed nearby.

After being struck by a ball of light, the seagull spread its wings and flew away merrily, spinning several times in mid-air before soaring in the direction of the hotel.

Crane returned to the inn some time later, and when he looked at the seagull crouching by the open window, he noticed the yellow markings on the back of its head, and took off his hat at it.

The lark, which had been squatting on Klein's shoulder, flew up with great joy, threw himself straight into the seagull's arms, rubbed twice before retreating, and jumped happily by the window.

The seagull shook its head blankly, and when it saw a figure approaching her, its instinct of fear prompted it to scream and fly out of the window.

"Is there any special reaction to this lark?"

"Nope." Klein recalled the Skylark crouching quietly on his top hat from head to tail, taking two bites as he ate the whale strips, and then crouching back.

"Pretty good." He added.

The lark's gaze circled around Klein suspiciously: "Looks like you have a lot of affinity for it?" ”

Klein remained silent: "I don't know. ”

But he was a little weak in his heart, Klein knew that he had a special gray mist on his body, and the light balls on the gray mist were of the same origin as the points of light on Esther's body, and the spirits driven by these points of light were close to him, which was also in line with the evidence that "Zoya" herself was suppressed by the "fool".

This must not be known to Esther...... Klein has no intention of exposing himself to the vest!

The lark didn't pay attention to Crane's vague denial, but shook his feathers twice and flew down on the soft cushion of the sand. The bird stepped into a little depression on it, and then nested leisurely:

"You made an appointment with that pirate?"

"Yes, at eight o'clock this evening we will go to Pier 6 to board the boat and go directly to the easternmost part of the Sunia Sea." Crane hung his top hat and coat on the coat rack by the door.

"Can you help me carry my bag then?" The lark blinked pale eyes, and there was anticipation in his expression.

"Okay." Klein didn't think there was anything about it, "You've been in this parasitic state?" ”

Ace nodded: "The 'Star General' should also be extraordinary, that talking bird is not too strange to her, and everything in the extraordinary world is possible." ”

Klein thought for a moment and said solemnly, "It's best not to reveal your identity. ”

"I'm not going to say it, I'm not going to tell them I'm a 'parasite,' and I'm not going to introduce myself to them. If you want, you can also give me a bird name. ”

"Bird name." Although this kind of wordplay sounds cold, and Klein really wants to laugh, he still maintains the instinct to play the character.

Esther snickered a few times, then casually threw out a name: "Or you can call me Nornes." ”*

Klein felt a little familiar, but for a moment he didn't remember where he had heard it: "Well, at least it's better than the birdname." ”

"I didn't really want you to call me 'Bird Name'!" Esther couldn't help but retort.

Crane didn't wait the rest of the day, as Esther pulled out an Indisian book from her satchel and lent him it to pass the time.

The lark squatted on the cushions of the sofa and pretended to sleep, and when he raised his head, he was always staring at the flames in the fireplace, and Crane couldn't see the emotions floating in his eyes.

Suddenly, Esther and Klein's inspiration were touched at the same time, and the lark's gaze turned, because Crane had a "don't mess around" gaze, and Esther ended up just crouching honestly in place, thinking that she was just an ordinary passing bird.

The shadows of the curtains twisted and swayed, floating from the ground to the ground, and Esther instantly remembered the slime monster and had a certain inquiring mind.

However, because the thing didn't look good, and Klein had given him a warning look beforehand, Esther quietly watched as the shadow threatened to get "Gelman Sparrow" out of the matter of the "Immortal King".

After the creeping darkness melted into the shadows and everything in the room returned to normal, Esther stared in the direction of the window and smacked her lips enthusiastically, "Are you going to catch that guy?" ”

She also wanted to try whether the parasitic extraordinary person could use the other party's ability, which was much less limited than the ability to simply steal.

"No, we're going to board the ship soon, so there's no need to get involved in unrelated matters." Klein always felt that Esther seemed to be becoming more "active".

Esther flapped her wings twice and said nothing.

Klein had considered reporting the matter to the local Church of War, but out of consideration for the strength of the local church, Crane didn't think they could take any effective action. In the case of piracy in the vicinity, the church is mainly stationed and prepared for attacks, and it is difficult to distinguish additional strength against the sharks at sea.

This is also why as long as there is no major incident in Nas, the pirates will hardly be punished much, and they can sail freely in the nearby waters, which has earned them the nickname "Pirate Paradise".

Before seven o'clock, Crane got up from his chair, "I'll go to the bathroom." ”

"We're about to go?"

"Hmm."

Esther watched the bathroom door close, and always felt that there was a sense of déjà vu in this situation, probably an illusion.

When Klein came out, Esther was sitting by the window, looking out.

Seeing Klein looking over, Asther nodded at him: "That guy seems to be still nearby, and I always feel like I'm being watched." ”

Klein counted the bullets on his body one last time before putting on his cloak: "It doesn't matter, let's take the taxi to the docks now, and leave him alone." ”

Soon, after Klein had prepared what he had brought with him, the Mad Adventurer headed to Pier Six with the lark sitting on top of his top hat.

——

The large galleon, fading from the light veil of night, slowly emerged on the quayside, the faint crimson moonlight illuminating the flags flying high, and ten white stars of the same size encircled the eyelashless eyes.

This informs those who see it of its identity - "Admiral of the Stars", "Future".

There was a slight panic in the dock area, it was a pirate general anyway, and the shore defense guns were adjusted, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the huge sailing ship that did not hide itself.

The clock rang at eight o'clock.

The "hermit" lady of the Tarot Society, the "general of the stars" on the sea, Gardelia, stands at the bow of the ship, with many symbols and magical symbols painted on her black classical robes. A long, starlit transparent bridge stretched out from her feet, the light falling and condensing, reaching the pier.

Klein sighed in his heart, he didn't want to be so high-profile, but since the other party had made such a big fanfare, he also stepped on this long bridge calmly.

Esther's very slight voice reached his ears: "It's not as good as Magpie Bridge." ”

Klein desperately told himself to calm down, he couldn't laugh or complain, and he had to maintain Gelman's demeanor!

On the other side, Gadelia watched the grim man in gold-rimmed glasses approach step by step.

She fantasized and guessed a lot of things, including all sorts of surprises that might arise when she met "Gelman Sparrow" – but that definitely didn't include a bird.

A lark crouched on the top hat of the legendary mad adventurer was tilting its head at her obediently, its shining light eyes full of humanity.

As Gelman took off his hat and saluted, the lark flew down in cooperation and landed on his left shoulder. The bird, too, with its right wing, crossed its front and bowed slightly, saluting with Gelman to Gardelia.

Gadelia's purple eyes changed suddenly, and the deep colors of the tunnel filled her eyes, and she opened the voyeuristic eye to observe the other person's spirits.

Then she saw a misty light, and if it weren't for the crimson moon actually hanging in the sky, Gardelia might have thought she saw another collapsing sun.

This light was not intense, gentle and cold, but it kept circulating and changing on Gelman's left shoulder, showing a twisted and stable contradictory form, so that the light of the seals on Gelman's body was obscured.

In addition to this, there was another kind of decaying and cold gray that was suppressed in this light, quite inconspicuous.

The unknown light instantly stung Gardelia's eyes, and she didn't dare to look at it anymore, so she couldn't help but close her eyes and quickly retract her observations.

But even if it's just for a moment, it's enough for Gadelia to see Gelman Sparrow's luxurious configuration, not to mention the innocent-eyed lark, which is the most threatening existence in him!

Demigods? Sequence Four or Sequence Three? Maybe not yet......

What is the origin of this bird and the crazy adventurer? Is he really just a student of the "world" and not the "world" itself?

Of course, Cordelia would have felt that the light was familiar, and it looked exactly like the crystal ball hanging from the Temple of the Fool! This confirms the identity of the "world" as a dependent, and furthermore, the students of the "world" are also dependents?

"Good evening, Mr. Sparrow." Gardelia said this, and she didn't say any more greetings, but led the other party directly to the entrance of the cabin.

After all, there is an official church stationed here, and there are many other pirates nearby, and as a member of the pirate general, Gardelia does not want to stay here for long, which will attract too much attention from all parties.

After the two of them entered the cabin, the starlight bridge built by the "Future" gradually collapsed into the air, and it moved again, the hull of the ship crushing the waves, drawing a white arc.

It wasn't until the ship slowly sailed east along the whaling route that the tension in the port of Nas completely dissipated.

When the "Future" fully melted into the night, the people who were watching it by the dockside clinged to the shadows and quickly left the place.

* Nornes: A collective name for the three goddesses of fate in Norse mythology, representing the past, present, and future, and ruling the fate of gods and mortals at the same time, their duties are mainly to take care of the tree of life and weave the web of fate.
