Chapter 148: Fake
Hearing the name of the mad adventurer who had been involved with other pirate generals and dared to shoot pirates on Baiam Adam Street, some of the guests in the bar looked excitedly at the man in the trench coat and top hat, some shrunk in fear, and even sneaked through the side door, while others whispered to the people next to them.
In the center of everyone's attention, the man snorted, straightened up, and returned to his seat, without nodding or denying.
But most people have matched him with the newspaper and rumored "Gelman Sparrow" appearance.
Angel watched the fake Gelman performance in amazement, and then looked at Klein to see how he reacted.
The latter, however, was unexpectedly calm, silently finished the glass of Glass beer in his hand, stood up under Angel's mocking gaze, and walked towards the "Gelman".
"You have also seen that my fame, my prestige, these can be my guarantees." The man in the trench coat said to the other two couples at the table, "My team found the whereabouts of the 'Ghost Empire' on the south side of the Moby Dick Sea last week, near the island of Tuscat...... You've heard of the Ghost Empire, right? ”
The four of them nodded their heads to indicate that they had heard, they were neatly dressed, decent, their skin had not been damaged by wind and frost, they were either businessmen, or they were "adventurers" who were called adventurers, but they were actually tourists and had a solid family.
"They've been tracking the whereabouts of that ghost ship, but I'm still short of a boat, I'm short of some manpower, so I'm back in Nath looking for a collaborator, well, it's only five hundred ......"
Seeing that the four of them were full of interest, "Gelman" spoke faster and faster, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
At this moment, the door of the bar was slammed open from the outside, hitting the wall with a loud noise that made him swallow the second half of the sentence in his stomach.
Crane, who was about to reach out and lift the pretending guy out the door and throw him out the door, also stopped his movements and looked at the door.
A young man of Rune descent burst into the bar, looked around, and shouted:
"Are there any Adventurers' Mutual Aid members?"
As soon as he finished asking, he looked back at the door, as if he was being chased by someone, and it was a great risk to stop.
In the next second, a man in a leather jacket, of medium stature, and strong malice welled up in his eyes.
The young man of Rune screamed strangely, and rushed into the depths of the bar in three steps and two steps, and in the corner near the door, stood three people dressed as adventurers, all of them members of the "Adventurers' Mutual Aid Association", one of them was more than two meters tall, his muscles were tight, and he almost broke through the single clothes on his body, like the legendary "giant", which immediately attracted the attention of the leather jacket.
Behind "Gelman," Klein also took the opportunity to confirm the identity of the man who chased into the bar.
"The Slayer" Gilcias, the second mate of the "Immortal King" Agaritu, is notorious for his bloodied hands and has a bounty of £9,500 in Rune alone.
It's a big fish, and it was delivered to your door...... Klein suddenly became a little excited, the desire for gold pounds overpowered the interest of "fighting fakes", he touched his hand to the left wheel, and in the corner of his eye, Angel's figure quietly disappeared, obviously entering a state of invisibility.
Under Crane's gaze, the "Slayer" was a spirit, his face was solemn, his gaze was withdrawn from the "giant", swept over Crane, and then quickly turned around and left the bar.
He moves with coherence and without hesitation, like a guest at the wrong door, rather than a vicious pirate chasing after someone.
This abrupt conflict stunned the drunkards who were about to watch the show, the members of the "Adventurers' Mutual Aid Society" who came forward, and the Rune man who hid at the bar in a panic.
Klein also retracted his gaze in the direction of the gate stupidly, he naturally did not refuse the pirates sent to the door, but it did not mean that he would chase after him at will and enter into an encounter that he was not familiar with.
Especially if the other party is already wary.
But at the same time, he was also puzzled, he just glanced at Gilcias with the eyes of the golden pound, and he hadn't even figured out how to do it, the other party was so alert that he turned around and left? Was it because of the two-meter-tall adventurer, or did he recognize the real "Gelman Sparrow" in the bar?
After a brief silence in the bar, the fake "Gelman" laughed dryly twice, and continued to say to the four men and women in front of him:
"You see, I said that Gelman Sparrow's name is a pass above the five seas, so what are you thinking about?
"It's okay to refuse, but think about it first, what you refuse, but ...... Ahem, ahem! ”
He took a sip of the spirits, widened his eyes behind his glasses, and threatened, but suddenly began to cough, coughing out a mouthful of foaming and red saliva from the white, and his face was also flushed with an unhealthy red.
Well, the four guests at his table stood up in unison, dodging "Gelman", who suddenly looked pained and covered his chest and coughed.
"Ahem, ahem, ha......"
As if pulling a bellows, "Gelman" gasped and stood up, his eyes looking around, and only frightened faces remained in his gradually dim vision.
Smack-
He couldn't support his legs anymore, he fell to his knees, hesitated for a moment between supporting himself or covering his neck with his hands, then simply let go and lay on the ground, without moving.
"Ge, Gelman is dead!"
I don't know who shouted, and the drunkards and whispering adventurers around them broke out into a huge wave, infecting each other with fear, rushing towards the wide open main entrance and narrow side door, quickly burrowing out of the bar and disappearing without a trace.
In less than half a minute, it was as if someone had been opened a canned wolffish, and only Klein was standing still, the bartender hiding at the bar, and the few shivering bar guards.
Even if I really died, I shouldn't have made such a fuss...... Crane glanced around a little wordlessly, then looked at the motionless man at his feet, stretched out his foot and kicked the other man, turning him over and lying on his back to the sky, finding that the other party was only unconscious, still breathing, and did not seem to have any further deterioration trend.
That should teach him a good lesson, and Angel didn't try to kill the fake...... He breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the bartender on the side, sneered, and said:
"After this time, he shouldn't have the guts to pretend to be 'Gelman'."
With that, he put his hands in his pockets, turned around, and walked towards the gate.
"You, how do you know that he is a fake?"
The bartender's somewhat frightened voice came from behind him.
"Because, I am the real Gelman S...... Hiss! ”
With a sneer on his lips, Crane paused sideways and replied.
But the last few words seemed to be sucked back into his stomach by him with a deep breath, and then quietly clutched his waist and left the bar with some stiffness.
The back was a little hurried, a little embarrassed.
————
"Because, I am the real Gelman Sparrow."
Imitating Klein's voice, Angel smiled at the corner of his mouth, supported his waist with one hand, pressed the wide-brimmed hat on his head with the other, and said with his head held high.
The white feather on her hat was fluttering in the sea breeze, adding a touch of liveliness to her movements.
Klein covered his face, regretting his performance in the bar.
He really just wanted to debunk the fake at that time, and he didn't have any other thoughts, but under Angel's performance, he seemed to be incomparably better in the afternoon, well, "middle two".
For no apparent reason, he thought of a word that had been used in his previous life to describe this kind of behavior on Earth.
The two were at Pier 6 in Naas Harbor at this time, waiting for the arrival of the "Star General". After a farce in the afternoon, Angel and Crane, who left the bar, had no intention of continuing shopping, but returned to the hotel to pack their luggage, sorted out all kinds of magical items and spell ammunition for battle, and came to the departure place in advance.
In the face of a pirate general, or a "star general" who is more well-known than those "lieutenant generals", and the bounty is as high as 37,000 pounds, it is impossible to be too cautious.
After months of adventures at sea, the magical items on their bodies are almost armed to the teeth, and various charms and bullets have also been made in their spare time, and their combat power is almost inferior to that of anyone below the demigod.
Angel wore a rose necklace with the "Apostle of Desire", "Judge" and "Wind Favorite" around her neck, a "knight's bracelet" on her left wrist, a "Secret Emblem" tied to her right wrist, a "hypocrisy" ring on her right middle finger, a "good luck" revolver around her waist, and charms and ammunition all over her body, making her feel like she was a little jingling when she walked.
That's the voice of wealth!
Crane also brought most of the magical items with him, and "Wriggling Hunger" is currently in a state of grazing four souls, which is less than the upper limit it can carry, but because Crane insists on grazing only the most evil people, he does not fill the void casually.
Even so, the glove with the "Inquisitor", "Priest of Light", "Living Corpse" and "Corrupt Baron" is far stronger than Angel's "Rose Necklace", of course, the latter is a magical item made by craftsmen that limits the negative effects, and this glove would have to devour a living person every other day if it had not been sealed by Mr. Azik, fully embodying the law of "the stronger the ability, the greater the side effects".
Compared to this magical item, the fish-man cuff on Crane's sleeve, the biotoxin bottle in his pocket, and the ancillary items similar to Angel, which only lack the "Calamity" charm, are insignificant.
After a little joke, the heavily armed duo quieted down and stood side by side watching the sunset and the night-shrouded sea, waiting quietly.
When the bell rang eight o'clock in the church of Nas behind him, a huge sailing ship slowly emerged in the light fog in the distance, it was more than 100 meters long, but it had only three masts, and this unscientific structure did not affect its rapid progress on the dark sea, approaching the port where there were still sparkling lights.
The harbor lighthouse soon spotted the uninvited guest, and the mirror-focused light shone on the sailboat, revealing its flag that was gradually becoming clear in the mist, with a huge single eye painted on it, without eyelashes, and surrounded by ten white stars.
"Star Pirates!"
"Future!"
The surrounding pirates and sailors exclaimed, recognizing the flagship belonging to the "Star Admiral" Gardelia.
It was already night, most of the ships were fixed at the pier, there was no escape, and the sailors who stayed behind on it tried in vain to aim their guns at the "Future" not far away, but none of them dared to do so.
Under the horrified gaze of everyone, the Future slowly stopped less than 100 meters from the pier, and a lady in a black robe walked up to the bow of the ship, her eyes indifferent and staring in all directions.
In front of her, a light lit up, like a star in the sky, and then the star gradually extended forward, turning into a translucent bridge, crossing a distance of 100 meters, and landing on Pier 6.
The sailors standing nearby retreated one after another, lest they touch the dreamy stars, and in front of them, two figures slowly stepped forward, stepped on the transparent bridge without the slightest hesitation, and walked towards the "Future" in the crisp footsteps.
Walking ahead was a woman wearing a wide-brimmed hat and white feathers on her head, her face darkened in the night, the hem of her trench coat fluttering in the wind, and the slim-fitting black jacket and tonal leggings underneath framed her figure to keep the eyes of the sailors around her.
Behind her, Klein wore a double-breasted gown, a half-height silk top hat, gold-rimmed glasses reflecting the lighthouse focus, and his facial expression was indifferent, ignoring the gaze of many sailors behind him, but he howled helplessly in his heart:
"Finally, I finally got involved with the 'Star General' in front of everyone...... Now, jump into the Yellow River, no, jump into the Tasok River, and you can't wash it! ”
