As soon as he stepped into the cabin, the eyes of a group of sailors were focused on Crane and the rather striking lark on his shoulder.

This is so out of keeping with the temperament of the mad adventurer Gelman Sparrow that no one has ever heard of him having a pet, let alone such a delicate looking bird.

"Hello everyone."

Then the bird spoke!

"Extraordinary creatures" are a good excuse, and the pets of crazy adventurers can't always be ordinary birds, which makes the crew of the "Future" feel that things make a lot more sense.

Klein looked around and said in a very arrogant tone: "There are fewer people than I thought." ”

Gadelia had nothing to shy away from, and generously admitted this, because the place to which she was going was dangerous, so she scattered most of the sailors to other ships, and only made sure that the ship could only sail normally.

The deal between the "Hermit" and the "World" was witnessed by the "Fool" at the Tarot meeting, and Gardelia was not worried about any malicious actions of the other party.

Even the lark laden with light could be the testimony of the "fool" for this transaction, could it be that its real body is some kind of oracle?

Esther curiously observed the strange color of Gadelia's eyes, she had not yet developed the habit of stealing people's thoughts anytime and anywhere, otherwise Esther would definitely cry and laugh because of Gadelia's brain supplement.

Klein greeted Frank Lee, the first mate, and led the group up the stairs by the avid breed hybridizer.

Esther and Klein turned their heads at the same time, their eyes falling on the shadows on the side.

The darkness twisted and shaped, condensing into a complete figure, tall and thin, pale, with a sense of weakness that had not yet healed from a serious illness.

When Frank introduced Crane with a smile, the second mate of the Future, Heath Doyle, the "Bloodless", was staring at Crane in a daze.

To be precise, staring at the lark crouching on Klein's shoulder.

Esther felt an extraordinary power that was hidden in the sense of familiarity: "'Secret prayer man'? ”

Originally, Frank was going to answer, but Heath responded to the lark's question before he did: "Yes." ”

This was very different from his personality, and both Gardelia and Frank were curious, but Heath just nodded at Crane and then stepped back, trying to retreat back into the shadows.

Esther flew straight up and landed on top of Hiss before he could completely disappear into darkness.

Heath's body immediately froze in place, and Esther winked at Klein: "It's okay, you guys go first." ”

Klein wasn't sure what Esther wanted to do, but the fellow had a sense of proportion...... Generally speaking.

What put Gardelia and Frank at ease was Heath nodding at them, indicating that it didn't matter, and then the few of them continued down the corridor and led Klein to the captain's room, where the room for "Gelman Sparrow" was also there.

Frank couldn't help but ask, "That lark of yours doesn't only speak, but also distinguishes the sequence of the extraordinary?" What is the way it goes? ”

"I don't know." Klein put on a posture of "one question and three don't know", because he really didn't know what path Esther should be, and the combination of "parasite" and "fate" was already strange.

Gadelia pushed her glasses, more and more suspicious that it was a means of protection for the "world" by the "fool", although she wanted to take another look, but she also knew that she could not see the essence of that extraordinary power, and she would not gain much except to add more unnecessary curiosity.

Frank enthusiastically introduced: "Heath is a 'Bishop of the Rose'. ”

Klein instantly had the idea to go back and get Esther back.

"But don't worry haha, he's not a believer in the 'True Creator', just a little very lucky. Because of an accident, he was sprinkled with the potion of the 'Bishop of the Rose', and after being infiltrated by the power contained in it, he finally became an extraordinary person for some reason. ”

Crane glanced at Gardelia and saw the helplessness on the captain's face, Frank almost poured out all the information of the second mate, and did not treat Klein as an outsider at all.

After the three of them were gone, Hiss cowered a little more into the darkness, making sure he was fully integrated into it. He put his arms above his head and let the strange lark jump up and take a closer look at it.

Or rather, the big eyes and the small eyes, Heath has been holding on to something, and his face is full of desire to speak and stop.

Esther chuckled and asked him, "Do you want to listen to the song?" ”

Hiss froze for a few seconds, not quite understanding what the bird meant, but since it fell, Hiss could feel that his mental state had stabilized.

Given the peaceful feedback given to him by his spiritual intuition, Hiss finally nodded, "Good." ”

Esther deliberately lowered her voice, and a melancholy tone soon lingered around Hiss, his long-standing desire for flesh and his insane consciousness of inner division fading.

Heath's figure was half dissolved in the darkness, and only half stood in the corner, carrying the lark that sang softly, and his head drooped little by little, as if sinking into a peaceful sleep.

It wasn't until the tone was quiet that Heath raised his head again, and looked at the small bird, which was also the size of a fist, with an indescribable look of surprise: "Very ...... Good. ”

"Thank you for your appreciation." The bird stroked its chest with its wings, bowed slightly, and its voice was full of laughter.

"What's this song called?"

"Cuckoo."

"Are you a cuckoo?" Hiss couldn't help but ask.

Esther laughed helplessly: "Haha, of course not, I'm a lark." ”

This kind of self-introduction felt even more strange, so Esther immediately said, "You can call me Nornes." ”

"Noons ......"

Hiss's face was no longer so pale and gloomy, and the lark's singing had a strong soothing effect on him, dispelling most of the negative effects of the "Bishop of the Rose". Although he didn't understand the rationale, Hiss was still grateful.

"I'm going after Gelman, good night, Mr. Doyle."

"Hiss."

The lark let out a soft chuckle and spread its wings towards the end of the hallway, Hiss frowning slightly as he stared at the shimmering feathers above its head.

But he didn't stay where he was for long, and soon he was completely lost in the shadows of the shadows, and he didn't know where he went.

——

Esther didn't follow the direction of the captain's quarters, and instead of looking for Crane, who had been assigned a room, she followed some kind of attractive spiritual guidance all the way to the upper cabin.

At the door of a house wrapped in spiritual power, the lark hesitated to circle twice, which was full of "hidden" spell traces, but the other party deliberately left a gap to let out the alluring aura of Esther.

Finally Esther made up her mind, and plunged into the open crack of the door. The moment the lark flew in, the door closed automatically, merging with the wall, leaving only a solid cabin wall, with no trace of passage remaining.

Inside, there was only a woman with long chestnut hair on her shoulders, a white shirt with lace trim, a slim and simple dark blue jacket, beige trousers and high black leather boots, all tucked in the boots.

Even if she is beautiful, her elegance and dignity also bring about temperament coercion, and what makes Esther jealous is her strength, including her identity.

The smell of the object she longed for dissipated, but Esther was not in a hurry. She already knew what it was, and she knew that the other party had just laid out the bait to attract herself to communicate alone, and she didn't intend to let Esther "advance" the payment.

The woman sat in a rattan high-backed chair, her clear blue eyes mild, and although she was smiling, it was only a polite expression.

"Good night, mysterious queen." Esther flew to the top of another empty chair, clutched the edge of the back of the chair and stood firm, bowing her head as a salute.

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon, Hamel. Last month, Aaron wrote that you were going to Tilis after you separated from them, and that he didn't dare to tell you about you, so he couldn't help me find out what was going on after you. ”

The "Mystic Queen", perhaps as Bernadette Gustav, has known about her relationship with the time-traveler predecessor "Russell Gustav" since learning of her Courier summoning spell.

Bernadette's gaze lingered for a moment on the lark's cinnamon-yellow tufts and bald wingtips: "It seems that you have successfully promoted to 'Parasite', congratulations." ”

"It's not pleasant, but it's thrilling and it's very ...... Well, thank you so much for the extraordinary items. When she thought of the monocle, Esther didn't say it very sincerely.

She had to admit that she was a little shadowy.

"I didn't expect you to act with the 'Black Emperor', I thought you would stay on the coast of the Sea for other missions."

Esther didn't deny it, just blinked and remained silent.

She didn't quite understand why the other party confused Klein with his teacher "Black Emperor", could it be that the "world" didn't want to expose herself, so she channeled the temptation of the outside world to Gelman Sparrow?

"I was expecting you to stay on the 'Clover', and your specialness should be enough to help Aaron achieve his promotion." Bernadette's fingers tapped on the armrest, and there was no regret on her face.

Esther shook her head, "I need to go back to Gelman, he just wants to go to that special sea to the east, and I want to go with him." ”

Bernadette bowed: "You were just helping Heath stabilize his state, is this some kind of ability that belongs to you?" ”

The lark was silent for a few seconds, and shook his tail feathers twice uneasily: "Part of it is ability, and part of it is ...... Maybe it's because of the special connection in the occult, it's just my guess, I won't go to it, that's too risky. ”

The corners of Bernadette's lips turned up, and she made a joke: "Are you a believer in the true Creator?" ”

The lark opened and closed his mouth, just shaking his head helplessly.

Bernadette didn't delve into this: "Well, when I enter that sea, I would like you to help me pay more attention to the condition of Heath." By the way, I ask you to keep my affairs on this ship a secret. ”

"Then why did you call me over?" Isther asked, confused, "To confirm my status?" ”

Bernadette's gaze was calm: "To make sure you don't pose a threat to others." ”
