Chapter 173: Blind Spots

According to Klein's experience of watching so many episodes of detective film detective animation, this kind of person who covers his face with a scarf and covers his physical features with a coat is most likely problematic, and there is a high probability that he is hiding an ulterior secret, especially since it is not winter yet, and the temperature in the Furious Sea is far from cold.

However, it has nothing to do with me, even if there is a murder in a closed room, it should be the captain who has a headache...... Wait and do a divination above the gray fog to see if this journey will go well...... Klein didn't care, but he didn't neglect to think at all.

He then withdrew his gaze and looked at the waiter's Dicy grilled fish.

After dinner, he returned to his cabin and completed a divination on the gray mist, and came to the conclusion that his environment would not change much and that everything was going well.

This allowed Klein to fall asleep easily without the help of meditation, and he slept until dawn.

The whistle sounded, and the passenger ship turned quietly and slowly left the port of Harman.

While the dock was still faintly visible, Crane saw a figure suddenly appear there.

The figure was dressed in a white shirt and dark blue coat, with a high nose, sunken eye sockets, light blue eyes, and slightly curly brown hair, with a stiff silhouette and a slightly raised chin, making it feel like looking down on everyone.

He swept his gaze and quickly locked on the passenger ship that Crane was on.

At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, as if it had become a door to a dark and illusory land.

A deafening hurricane burst up from the bottom of the sea, mixed with a large amount of blue rushing upwards, and deep lightning flashed like a crack in the void, constantly appearing and disappearing as it healed itself.

This blocks all view between the passenger ship and the dock, making it feel like they are in different worlds.

Once again, the Berserk Sea showed its horror.

The passenger ship could not dodge or resist, so it could only continue to move along the safe channel where the storm was weak.

What a coincidence...... This should not be a coincidence...... Standing behind the glass window of the cabin, Crane first sighed secretly, and then thought that there were unnatural factors in the sudden change in the Furious Sea.

- Although it is normal for the weather in the Furious Sea to change, it is still suspicious that it happens to change at a certain point.

"The gentleman on the dock was tracking the suspicious passenger on the ship last night, and the traveler, seeing that his hiding was exposed, simply changed the celestial phenomenon and forced the passenger ship away?" Crane thought of what had happened before, and had some vague guesses.

And if that's the case, it means that the suspicious traveler covering his face with a scarf is likely a demigod or carrying a Tier 1 seal!

You must know that with Klein's current strength and items, if he doesn't use the "Seagod Scepter", he won't be able to trigger this level of celestial anomaly.

Of course, he may have another solution, which is to throw the Azk Bronze Whistle and see if he can make the whole sea of rage go berserk.

"Really, I just want to go to the Southern Continent like a normal rich man, and I will be chased by demigods on the way...... Hey, I'm under too much pressure from a sequence that doesn't belong in mine......" Klein laughed to himself, finally choosing to believe the divination he had done last night.

In the midst of the storm, the passenger ship staggered through the apocalyptic scene along the calmer gaps, and most of the passengers on board were calm, as if they were well adapted to the state, and only a few of those who passed through the Ragious Sea for the first time trembled and clung to every place they could.

As the minutes passed, the wind and lightning gradually subsided, and the sky brightened little by little.

At this time, Klein, who was on the deck, suddenly had an inspiration, and subconsciously looked sideways at the place where Harman Harbor was located.

Above the undulating deep blue waters, below the scattered white clouds, a bit of blazing white fire flew from far and near, at high speed.

The flame grew bigger and clearer, and finally took on a complete appearance, a giant flame spear!

The flaming spear pierced the sky and landed at the front of the deck of the passenger ship, but it didn't set anything on fire, burning through half of the plank, and it scattered in all directions, regrouping into a figure.

This figure has a high nose, deep eye sockets, and blue eyes, and it is the man who suddenly appeared on the dock before!

He looked close to middle age, looked around slowly, walked among the passengers with round-eyed eyes and half-open mouths, and entered the cabin.

Daun Dantès, who was also "dumbfounded", breathed a sigh of relief silently, confirming that the other party really did not come to him.

The appearance just now can be said to be very handsome, worthy of being a demigod...... The only problem now is that I hope the two of them don't fight, and even if the conflict is inevitable, try to go to the next sea, otherwise, the ship will not be saved...... I could have "teleported" away myself, and it was still relatively smooth, but with so many passengers, I was able to save a few ...... Crane habitually drew a crimson moon on his chest, praying for the goddess's protection.

As soon as he turned around on this thought, he saw a figure fly out of the hatch and slam down on the deck, it was the suspicious passenger who had covered his face with a scarf earlier.

The gentleman had half of his face exposed, the front of his nose was red, and the beard around his mouth was thick and saliva.

His eyes were full of fear as he pressed his hands on the deck, constantly moving his body backwards.

"Who told you to dress up like this with that thing?" At the door of the cabin, the middle-aged man with a high nose and blue eyes walked out slowly, and asked in a deep voice in Indisian.

The suspicious passenger shook his head frantically and said:

"No, I don't know, he is also dressed like this, gave me, gave me 100 pounds, let me take this boat to the Southern Continent, and then return by himself!"

The middle-aged man watched silently, his gaze sharp, as if it could penetrate a person's soul.

This made the suspicious traveler's forehead sweat drip, his body trembled violently, and he stammered to explain again, but nothing changed what was described.

The man withdrew his gaze, and a blazing white flame suddenly rose from his body.

Then, he turned into a giant flaming spear and threw it at the area where Harman Harbor was located.

The flaming spear grew farther and farther away, and it didn't take long for only a little light to remain.

During the whole process, the demigod did not glance at the travelers around him, except for the beginning, as if they did not exist.

"A very simple but ingenious ruse...... Let people pretend to board and leave, and use some way to manipulate the celestial phenomena to create evidence that they are on the ship, but in fact they stay in the harbor until the enemy pursues them, and then find another way out......" Crane suddenly made his own judgment.

This made him wonder if the one being chased was once a "conspirator", "magician", or some other extraordinary person who was good at trickery.

As for the one just now, judging from the details of the incarnation of flames, the blazing white spear, the arrogant behavior, the disgusting people, and the speaking of the Indisian language, Klein believes that there is a high probability that he is a demigod of the "hunter" path, and it is possible that he is a "predator knight".

I don't know why they clashed...... Crane shook his head and walked back to the cabin.

On the deck, the travelers finally came to their senses and whispered about the paranormal they had just seen:

One man can turn into a flame, and a flame can reunite into a human being!

In the midst of the noise, the passenger ship continued along the safe passage without any incident, arriving at another port in the evening.

Klein didn't get off the boat as usual, lest something happen to him.

He took out his gold-shelled pocket watch and glanced at it to determine when it was time to go to the restaurant.

Wait another two quarters of an hour...... Crane muttered to himself silently, raised his head, and looked out the window.

At this time, many passengers who are scheduled to disembark at the current port are carrying their suitcases and going down the gangway to the pier.

With a glance, Crane's gaze suddenly rested on a figure.

The figure wears a black soft hat, dark gold sideburns, a high nose, pursed lips, and a deep side face, like a classical sculpture, without a single wrinkle.

He didn't carry his luggage, and quickly followed the crowd to the dock and disappeared around the corner of the road.

Klein just looked at it, his body motionless, as if he no longer belonged to him.

He only felt that his blood was getting cold a little bit, and a name burst out in his mind:

Ince Zangwill!

............

The gas street lamps on the pier have been lit one by one, and the different windows of the passenger ship are dotted with them.

In the first-class room of Dawn Dantès, it was dark and silent.

Klein sat down, his face expressionless, and thoughts flashed through his mind uncontrollably:

"This is the first time Ince Zangwill's traces have been found since the Great Smog in Beckland......

"The demigod from before should be chasing Ince Zangwill......

"His ruse goes deeper than I thought, he finds someone to disguise himself as him and give objects, not to distract the track, but to create a blind spot in the mind, so that people subconsciously rule out the boat as a wrong option......

"He's been here since the beginning......

"The coincidental change of the celestial phenomenon should have been created by Ince Zangwill's '0-08'......

"Why was he chased by an Intis 'hunter' demigod...... What the hell is he planning......"

In the midst of his thoughts, Crane suddenly pulled out the adventurer's harmonica, brought it to his lips and blew it.

Silently, Miss Renette Tinicole, carrying four blonde red-eyed heads, appeared in front of him.

Klein opened his mouth, closed it again, took out a pen and paper, and wrote quickly:

"Mr. Daun Dantès has spotted Ince Zangwill's whereabouts on the Midrange Island of the Tempest. ”

Folding the letter, Klein handed it to Miss Courier along with a gold coin:

"Delivered to the letter box at 7 Pinster Street, North Bakerland. ”

Renette Tinicole's four heads in both hands turned at the same time, and all eight eyes looked at Klein in unison.

She didn't say anything, biting down on the letter and the gold coin.
