Chapter 24: Bansey Harbor
"Are you really sure that Donna and Denton won't tell me about the ship?"
Daniz, who was wearing a black wig and had blackened eyebrows, lowered his voice and asked quietly.
After satisfying the other party's curiosity, Angel finally sent the siblings away, and returned to the restaurant with Klein and Daniz in disguise, and began to enjoy a sumptuous lunch.
As for the consequences of being discovered by the girl's true identity, Daniz didn't bother to think about it, he just wanted to limit the insiders to this small circle, and it was better not to have more people.
After the pirates left, the tension and fear of the passengers and crew quickly faded, and many people in the dining room discussed the strange behavior of the Red Skull's sudden turn of the ship, and blamed Captain Ellan and his trained sailors.
Only Donna and Denton, who occupied the entire large table with their family, glanced at this side from time to time, they already knew the real reason for the pirate's departure, but they kept the agreement and did not tell more people.
"They're all good boys who keep their promises, but if you talk sneakily like this, you may be seen as a problem by others."
Angel replied casually, taking a slice of bread with fluffy roasted mushrooms and juicy fatty beef and handing it to Klein beside him.
"Try this, it's good."
Before the meeting, Gelman Sparrow took a few bites of the bread handed by Angelica Thatch, and praised it, and Daniz, who was sitting opposite the two, kept the two names he had just asked from Donna in his heart, and then put two big crosses, and when he escaped from the clutches, he must ......
"It's called Pavara, and it's a characteristic practice of the Rorsted Islands."
He whispered the dishes like a waiter.
Swallowing the white bread filled with mushrooms and beef gravy, Klein glanced at Danitz with some surprise, surprised by his weakness and obedience, but quickly withdrew his gaze, maintained his cold image, and said in an indifferent tone:
"Just now the captain said that he would make a detour to Bansi Port and stay overnight to tell me about the situation there."
"Okay."
After being asked for blood and hair, being hung outside the cabin, and being poked out of his identity by a child, Daniz actually felt that this request was completely acceptable, and even felt a little happy in his heart.
This was where he came to familiar territory.
"Bansey Island was occupied by Rune's army three hundred years ago, but at that time, there were a number of mysterious incidents, hundreds of soldiers disappeared en masse, and then their bones appeared on the seashore and mountains, and the local garrison was so panicked that deserters appeared.
"Many people suspect that the 'god of weather' is responsible, but this is a local indigenous deity who created their own beliefs in response to the drastic weather changes, and the corresponding ritual is primitive and bloody, and four times a year, the chosen deity is killed, his blood and flesh are eaten, and the head is buried under the altar. It wasn't until the Church of the Storm repaired its church here, stationed bishops, and spread doctrine that peace was restored to the island. ”
Very bloody customs...... Whether on Earth or here, the rituals of primitive beliefs are inseparable from death and blood, and it is also a good thing that the Church of the Storm replaces the "gods of weather", who are arrogant but not cruel, warlike but not murderous...... Angel commented in his heart.
"Of course, this ritual has long since been replaced by the formal storm ritual, and the indigenous languages and customs have disappeared, leaving only two unique customs: one is to close the door of the house on a night when the weather changes drastically, such as fog and rain, and do not respond to any sound outside the door; Second, they are addicted to animal blood, and they use a method learned from the elves to add salt and various spicy spices to the blood to make a coagulated lump that is smooth and refreshing. ”
It sounds like blood sausage, but the method is a little different, and I don't know if there is a difference in taste......
Listening to Daniz's introduction, Angel felt that her newly full stomach was a little hungry again, she picked up a piece of roasted mushroom and put it in her mouth, chewed and swallowed, and continued to ask:
"Then why did Captain Erlan take a detour over there? Does that make the journey longer? ”
Daniz first cautiously looked back at the corner of the dining room, where Erlan was dining with his first mate and boatswain, and seeing that the others were not paying attention, he explained:
"Ellan is cautious, even if the Red Skull leaves without disturbing the White Onyx, he will stop at the nearest port, which is Bansey, and report the encounter with pirates on this safe passage to the navy and the church, and draw their attention, it is the duty of the passing ships, and it is his own ......"
"You knew the captain before?"
Crane, who had put down his knife and fork, interrupted Daniz and asked rhetorically.
“…… There had been a battle between us before he left the navy," replied Daniz after a moment of silence, "and he left the navy as an extraordinary, probably joining an intelligence agency like MI9 to monitor the route as the captain of a passenger ship, and if he finds out where I am, I am afraid there will be a conflict." ”
I see, no wonder Captain Erlan was able to suppress the "White Shark" in Damir Harbor, and even made Daniz, who was stronger than him, a little afraid...... Well, but with the captain's personality, even if he finds the "flame" on his ship, he will not make a noise, at least he will wait until he reaches Baiam to deal with it.
Although he may be an informant in the Navy, he is not the kind of person who wants information and death, and will make the safety of the passengers on the White Onyx his first priority.
After opening the conversation, Daniz turned from a melancholy pirate to a talkative adventurer, and began to talk about various legends similar to Bansey Island at sea, such as the belief in the "sea god" on the Rorsted Islands, the whereabouts of the "key to death", etc., as if the previous low voice was just an illusion.
Angel listened with relish, and Crane, although he had been eating, was moving slowly and was obviously a little interested.
It wasn't until most of the passengers had left the restaurant after lunch that Daniz stopped talking, which convinced Angel that the pirate's previous reticent image was a complete disguise.
"The pig's blood at the Lime Restaurant in Bansey Harbor is delicious, the kind of way I just said, and we, I mean you, would you like to try it?"
At the end of the day, Daniz turned his attention back to his upcoming destination, and when it came to dinner, the food on the White Onyx was fresh enough and the chefs were good, but when you arrived in a new place, you should always try the local specialties.
Moreover, always being with this crazy adventurer and a woman who is beautiful on the outside and evil on the inside, is about to drive him crazy! Maybe on the shore, in a strange place, they can be more restrained.
He looked at Angel and then at Crane, waiting for their answers.
On this day, he actually hasn't figured out who is the dominant between the two, generally speaking, the combination of adventurers must have one person as the main one, so as to unify the opinions within the team and avoid differences.
But neither the man nor the woman in front of him seem to be able to agree quickly without consultation or argument, and often with a glance.
This time it was the same, and after the two quickly looked at each other, Crane replied, "Wait until we get to Bansey Harbor to decide." ”
Daniz breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had probably convinced the two men.
It can be seen from the dishes they ordered for lunch that both of them are lovers of food and will not refuse delicious pig blood.
……
"We're not going ashore, and neither are you."
At dusk, the White Onyx finally docked at Bansi Harbor, about 120 nautical miles from Damir Island, and as expected, it was time for dinner.
Most of the passengers gathered on deck, ready to go ashore to the various specialty restaurants in the harbor to enjoy a different local menu from the delicious but cookie-cutter food on board, with the "lime restaurant" mentioned by Daniz being the most popular, with a third of the passengers, including Donna's family, choosing to dine there.
Therefore, when Crane's words were heard, the famous pirate "Blaze" was struck by lightning and asked in astonishment:
"What did you say?"
Under Klein's indifferent gaze, he quickly adjusted his positioning, adding:
"I mean, you're going to lose the chance to taste the special pig's blood, which you can't eat anywhere else."
"There is a problem with the results of the divination, and there is a hidden danger in this port."
Crane popped out a copper penny with a clink, caught it in the air, and spread his palm, the number representing the face value pointed at Daniz, who looked puzzled.
The numbers are negative, and there is no potential danger in Bansey Port.
But he had already confirmed above the gray mist, and after eliminating the relevant interference, there was a considerable danger lurking in Bansey Harbor, and the result of Angel's magic mirror divination was unfounded, and there should be some people or things on this small island that are no less than the combined strength of the two of them buried in a calm.
Out of trust in Klein's "divination without interference", Angel agreed to Crane's decision without hesitation, and he "informed" Daniz of this decision.
However, the two did not prevent the passengers on the ship from getting off the ship to have fun and eat, and after their analysis, this danger was limited to actively "contacting" certain things in Bansey Port, and ordinary people like Donna's family, even ordinary bodyguards represented by Cleves would not cause anything unusual.
The harbor even has a church of the Church of the Storm, and if there were any otherworldly events that could easily be encountered by passers-by, they would have been solved by the Substitutes......
Fortunately, Angel did not doubt my "special divination", let alone ask why he could only do divination alone, whether it was because of his trust in me or his own personality...... Klein thought with some relief, and seeing Daniz staring at the coin in his hand in a daze, he quickly put away the penny, and said in an indifferent tone:
"Let's go to the restaurant."
After that, without waiting for Daniz to react, he left room 312 without even closing the door.
Shit! My pig's blood! And my freedom!
Daniz scolded secretly, after seeing this crazy adventurer flip a coin twice, how could he not know that the other party was good at divination?
This almost deprived him of the last hope of escaping while the White Onyx docked, and even if he managed to escape from the hands of the man and woman, he would definitely be found by divination.
Even if I risk being caught and flee to the vicinity of the Storm Chapel, that woman still holds my blood and can cast a curse on me through the air...... Daniz thought a little desperately, slammed the door shut, and looked back out the window at Bansi Harbor at sunset.
Hey...... It doesn't seem to be such a thick fog just now?
He suddenly noticed that the towering church spires in the distance had been blurred, and the buildings further away had been completely shrouded in the sudden thick fog.
This "weather museum" has changed again.
