Chapter 102: Hunting Preparations (2nd Update)
The abilities of the Extraordinary are indeed being abused...... After hearing Gao Wei's words, Crane subconsciously furrowed his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something. He was silent for a moment, then nodded his head to show that he understood.
"So."
There was a brief pause in Crane's tone: "I am ready to return to Beckland after completing the commission given to me by Amanisis and dealing with the promotion of Ince Zangwill to demigod hidden in the Southern Continent." β
β¦β¦
After the Tarot meeting ended, for several days, Klein did not find any news related to the "Blood Admiral". It wasn't until four days later that he was able to use the informants Arodes and Edvina had left on the islands to determine that the current "Blood General" SeΓ±ol had appeared in a place that no one else had expected.
That's Olavi Island, which has a large naval presence.
"It is not a normal thing for the 'Blood General' to finally choose this island as the place where he dumped his slaves. A few days ago, news came from the sea, and my informants told me. Emilius Livitt, the 'Rover', came from his precinct to inspect the surrounding navy. It is obviously strange to choose this time to come to Olawe Island. β
The original "Admiral of the Stars" Gadelia sat in the captain's room of the "Lost Land", and she looked at Klein in front of her, with a finger-thick document next to her.
To her left sat Leonard, dressed in a long black trench coat, and on her right was a delicate, doll-like Sharon.
Directly across from Gardelia sat Gelman Sparrow, who had a cold face and a serious tone. These four people basically make up the decision-making group on the entire ship.
And next to the circle of four people was a chair that had been brought in from outside. "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" Adevina sat in a chair and also expressed her doubts about this.
"Perhaps Sennior, the 'Blood General', is on the opposite side of Emilius. It is also possible that after he gained the power, he wanted to use the power he gained to hunt down the demigod. β
Crane said with a little caution in his tone, "Worse yet, he senses that we are preparing to hunt him down, and is ready to use this to set a trap and weaken us with the help of the military." Then take advantage of our weakness to get the most out of it. β
Klein thinks that no matter how unlikely such an outcome is, he must take it into account. Klein knew how strong the two brothers Adam and Amon were combined to arrange others, and he couldn't be sure if he was now in the eyes of these two brothers, whether he was invisibly arranged.
In addition, the "blood general" believes in the mother tree of desire...... This is another deity who covets the "Source Castle...... Crane thought for a moment and rubbed his temples.
"In that case, I hope we can do it again." There was obviously some caution in Adewina's tone: "The best way is for us to separate our identities from each other and enter Olawe in batches, as we did when we entered Byam before. β
"You mean, we're going to dive straight in?"
Klein thought for a moment, raised his head to look at Edwina in front of him, and said in a cold voice:
"'Blood Admiral' Segnor may have set a trap for us. Of course, it is possible that he was not aware of our arrival. If that's the case, then let the people on our ship enter Olavi Island first, our side is smaller and less likely to attract the attention of others. β
"Then, as a division of labor, I will have my ship support this side from the distant sea." Adevina added, "Emilius Levitt is patrolling the navy here these days, and if it's too close, there's a good chance it'll attract extra attention. β
"It's a demigod, we have to pay attention."
Klein nodded, indicating that he understood.
He and Leonard could infiltrate with the help of the Night Church or the Aurora Society - but based on the ship's reputation now, there is a good chance that the two of them will still use the name of the Aurora Society to enter the island. According to the increasingly outrageous reputation of the "Admiral Aurora", even if they pretend to be the Night Church, they will be considered to be blaming the Night Church.
In addition to Sharon, who can hide in MariΔ with the ability of "Resentful Spirit", there is also Daniz, who is temporarily driven back to his ship. The remaining "Star General" Gadelia and her crew have a certain camouflage ability.
"This problem is solved, then let's look at the next page." Adevina took Klein's words and picked up the stack of materials that belonged to her and flipped to the next page.
"How are we going to set up a trap for the 'Blood General'?"
The "Blood Admiral" will inevitably appear with his pirate ship, and considering that he is unlikely to fight the pirate general, only some of the people who show up on the island to sell slaves will appear. Hey, if only they knew where their private port was in Olawe.
Crane thought for a moment, and came up with a few methods that could be used to ambush the "Blood General", and optimized the unreasonable direction in his mind.
What he has to do now is to estimate the strength of the "Blood General" to a higher level, and this "Gao" is also a demigod. After all, the "Blood General" has been given the gift of the "Mother Tree of Desire", and Klein estimates that the "Blood General" who was previously a sequence five will not become too strong even if he becomes stronger by relying on the gift, and at most he is a demigod.
If "Blood General" really has the strength of Sequence Three, then he will definitely have to turn around and run.
Then choose to let Leonard, a person who has not revealed much information to the outside world, go to the Storm Church as a "member of the Church of the Night" to report the shaker, and the best ending is to let "Aquaman" Ian Courtman come to Olawe Island to wash the floor with thunder and lightning.
Well, be well prepared before you start...... Gao Wei is also now the bishop of the Storm Church, and I will send him a letter first to prevent something that cannot be resolved. The indestructible "Grossell's Travels" should also be taken out before the battle, at least, this indestructible property makes it one of the best pieces of armor.
Klein was silent for two seconds, raised his head, and methodically arranged to the people in front of him:
"First of all, I, Leonard, and Hugh entered Olawe Island and obtained clues about the informant of the 'Blood Admiral' through divination. We now know that the 'Blood Generals' communicate via telegraph, so I'll also have a telegraph machine in place to try to crack the code and trace them back to the unknown. β
If this is done, whether the "Admiral of Blood" wants to hunt down the Admiral or wants to track down him, Klein can leave two groups of people to counteract and buy himself time.
Moreover, Klein believes that Leonard, who has the parasitism of Parles Zoroasted, also has enough "puzzle solvers" ability, according to his research with Gao Wei, this angel is better at talking, and if he really can't, he can also try to promise him a part of the benefits as a "fool" oracle.
At least from the point of view of Amon, Klein and Parles are a united front.
And as a "secret puppet master", Klein has to take the initiative to digest and play. He now has a puppet made from the "Clever Talker", and Klein is ready to try this puppet to complete a behind-the-scenes role as the "Master of the Puppet".
He conservatively estimated that if he completed the killing of the "Blood General" in this way, then he might be able to directly digest a small part of the magic potion of the "Secret Puppet Master" on his body.
After arranging the whereabouts of the other two groups, Crane sailed the ship in the direction of Byam in the same way as before. Of course, as he approached Byam, he directed the Lost to the private harbor that Adwina had left here and successfully docked.
In order to prevent the leakage of information, after the Lost Land docked, the private port directly evacuated all the people in it, and let them return to the ship of the "Iceberg Vice Admiral" Edwina. As for the monetary loss, Klein also promised Adevina to compensate for the equivalent reward from the "Blood General's" treasury.
After all, the "Admiral of Blood" has a number of ships. And most of the remaining pirates on these ships are also unforgivable. Klein believes that according to the economic income of the average pirate general, even if it is not the flagship of the "blood general", it still has a considerable income.
After all, this income does not need to be distributed with the dozens or hundreds of pirates on the ship of the "blood general", and these pirates are also "small coffers" that may reveal extraordinary characteristics.
Unbeknownst to Crane, he came to a consensus with Alger, the captain of a ghost ship, that pirates roaming the seas were, in a way, a liquid piggy bank for them.
Although there is no way to get the bounty for killing the "Blood Admiral" from the Storm Church, Klein will still be exchanged for contributions in equal amounts within the Night Church, which can also help him exchange for more potions materials within the Church.
Walking on Olawe Island, Klein found the city unexpectedly at home. Since the area is mostly populated by new immigrants from the Kingdom of Rune, and the original local slaves serve as the lowest class here, the local residents are relatively happy.
Since there was no need for fishing enforcement this time, Klein wore a close-fitting, decent outfit. Leonard did the same, but unlike when he was a night watchman in the Night Church, he honestly buttoned up his collar to look like the gentlemen from Rune around him.
Hugh, on the other hand, followed the two of them, wearing a long brown dress. However, although it is a long skirt, the skirt is only slightly lower than the knee, revealing a slightly wheat-colored calf. Underneath the skirt is a pair of shorts with a sharp dagger tied near the base of her thighs.
This short skirt is separated from the top and bottom and can be easily broken apart. The reason why Hugh wore it like this was that he could loosen the short skirt on his body in time during the battle and not hinder himself from fighting, and at the same time, this kind of dress would not be too different from Leonard and Klein around him.
It made the three of them look like they were three from the kingdom of Rune...... Two businessmen. Sadly, Hugh can only serve as the sister of one of them.
Klein took some of the fruits Leonard had handed him and shoved one into Hugh's hand. Klein took the fruit and tried to take a bite and found it sweet and juicy.
It's a good fruit, fresh enough that it's hard to find anywhere else...... Klein thought to himself. It's one of the few safe shipping points in Shanghai, and it's not as chaotic as Bayam, the "capital of generosity."
Speaking of which, Klein still hasn't figured out why the "Blood General" chose to trade slaves with buyers here.
He swallowed the flesh of his mouth, and Crane glanced at the already dark sky, paused slightly, and his eyes swept over the bar called Sweet Lemon.
Looking at the bar, he nodded slightly and motioned for Leonard to go with him to the next hotel to book a room first.
Whatever the odd scenario, Klein was going to be ready to make an appearance on his own in places where there were plenty of adventurers.
If it is indeed the tracking of the "Blood General", then the assassination and attack on Klein may occur next, and then he can unite Leonard as Sequence 6 and Hugh as Sequence 7 to fight back against the attacker.
As long as the strength of the opposite side is not too strong, then Klein is confident that the attacker will be captured alive directly, so as to deduce the position of the "blood general" in reverse.
And if no one comes to attack him, then Crane can use the telegraph to try out the specific location of the "Blood Admiral", and then hunt him in reverse.
After paying two pounds for Miss Courier to confirm that Sharon and Cordelia were in their possession not far away, Crane straightened his clothes and walked over to the Sweet Lemon bar.
As he walked, a figure appeared behind Klein.
Crane put a mask on his face and paused slightly, allowing the "Clever Talker" secret puppet that he controlled to walk forward.
- This secret puppet looks exactly like Klein!
I may not be able to finish writing another one, so let's save a chapter first
