"Or first?"
As if he still hadn't recovered from the conversation just now, Klein repeated doubtfully.
"Would you rather go hang out on the deck first?"
Angel replied with a chuckle, catching the trace of disappointment on Klein's face that even Faceless's ability could not suppress.
He stood up abruptly from the sofa.
At that moment, Angel almost thought that Mad Adventurer was going to practice the true meaning of Acting Method here first, but Klein just took his suitcase, entered the master bedroom, took out the clothes and necessary items and put them away, and then returned to the living room.
"Let's go to the restaurant."
He said in a calm tone.
Why have you changed back to Klein mode - Angel conveys his thoughts with his eyes.
"Even Mad Adventurer will show his kindness and tenderness to the beautiful Miss..."
Klein saw Angel's confusion and went on his own to add a new character to "Gehrman".
"Well, beautiful Miss?"
"Ahem, it's beautiful Ann...Miss Angelica."
Klein explained hurriedly.
The two walked around on the upper deck first, and after getting familiar with the environment on the ship, they slowly came to the exclusive first-class luxury restaurant. It was located in the best view on the White Agate, with rows of large portholes on both sides. The lighting was excellent, the environment was elegant, and there was a violinist playing melodious music in the corner, making Angel feel like he had returned to the aristocratic salon of Backlund.
Large and small tables can seat hundreds of people, but at this time only one-third of the seats are occupied by first-class passengers. Different tables are separated by screens or cabinets to ensure a certain degree of privacy.
Angel and Klein chose a table by the window and sat down. On the recommendation of the waiter, they ordered lamb stewed with peas, foie gras baked in red wine, vegetable salad and other dishes. In the hands of the chef, these fresh ingredients turned into delicacies that were as good as those of a high-end hotel, making the two people who just had a casual breakfast enjoy it.
"I have made this dish before," Klein said suddenly as he scooped a spoonful of soft stewed mutton and poured it into the plate in front of him. "At that time, I had just graduated and my family was fully supported by Benson's income. I could only eat meat twice a week, but the delicious taste of the mixture of coarse salt, black pepper and mutton is more unforgettable than any chef's skills."
His eyes were a little out of focus, and he was obviously thinking of the life of Tingen City, Melissa, and Benson.
"When the Zangwill problem is solved and we can continue to live together, I will definitely try the mutton stew you made."
Angel smiled and comforted, but she knew that the best way to protect Benson and Melissa was to forget them. Klein did the same. Even when "0-08" had left Backlund, he suppressed his feelings and did not recognize the two brothers and sisters he met by chance.
To solve this problem, I'm afraid the only way...
She dipped some gravy into the soft bread and stuffed it into her mouth, forcing herself to turn her thoughts back to the delicious food in front of her, temporarily forgetting these melancholy things.
After the meal, Angel, who was enjoying dessert, found that the door leading to the bow of the ship was opened. A middle-aged man wearing a dark red coat and a boat-shaped hat walked into the restaurant with several Sailor in formal clothes and came to the center.
"Good afternoon everyone, I am the captain of White Agate, Erlan Cagg," the man said loudly, attracting the attention of everyone who was dining or had put down their tableware, "These are my First Mate, second mate, Sailor Chief..."
He pointed to the crew behind him and introduced Sailor one by one, while the latter smiled and bowed.
"During the expected nine-day trip, I hope everyone can abide by a few onboard rules, spend this not-so-long journey happily, and arrive at the destination safely."
Aierlan began to introduce the rules on the ship, such as no fighting, no vandalism, etc. Angel thought it was an ordinary meeting, but soon felt that this middle-aged man exuded a faint sense of majesty. With his loud and clear "rules", people felt that they "must be followed".
She immediately thought of the familiar Bounty Hunter Xio Derecha, who is a "Arbiter" Pathway Beyonder. Since Sequence 9, she has had a similar Beyonder Ability, who can add the power of submission between words and actions.
It seems that the captain has no intention of hiding his identity as Beyonder... That's right. Ordinary people will only think that he is full of majesty and will spontaneously abide by the rules on the ship. If there is Beyonder among the passengers, they will also know that the captain is not someone to be trifled with and restrain his words and deeds...
She looked around the restaurant and found that almost all the passengers were listening carefully to Arbiter's words. Even the family of four and the entourage who had occupied the entire table when they boarded the ship stopped holding knives and forks in their hands and looked at the center of the restaurant. It was obvious that Captain Erlan's purpose had been achieved.
"Sure enough, Arbiter's ability is very suitable for this kind of situation... Hmm, what are you doing?"
Angel sighed in a low voice, looking at Klein on the other side of the table, only to find that he frowned, looking at the captain who was about to leave after announcing the rules, and seemed to be deep in thought.
"I'm thinking, if I want to achieve the same effect, Intimidation the whole audience, and make them listen to my instructions, which method should I use," Klein turned around and said in a low voice, "For example, shoot a pistol at the ceiling, or make some exaggerated noises?"
"Then the whole restaurant will be empty in an instant, like opening a can of wolf fish."
"That's right..."
The "crazy" Adventurer nodded in agreement, and his eyes returned to the plate in front of him, but he seemed to be attracted by the word "canned wolf fish" Intimidation, so he hesitated for a moment before putting down his knife and fork.
After lunch, most of the passengers in the restaurant went to Recreation Room on the same floor. There are common entertainment activities such as table tennis and poker. Passengers who know each other or do not know each other can quickly get along with each other through these games.
But pool?
At this time, White Agate had left the offshore sea after several hours of driving. The increasing wind and waves caused the ship to shake slightly. Although it would not make people seasick, it would probably be devastating to the experience of billiards games that require precise aiming...
She curiously went to the ball table to study it, and soon discovered that the tabletop here was different from those she usually saw. The surface velvet was much thicker, which would reduce the rolling distance of the ball, but also effectively prevent the interference of wind and waves. Several men were very interested in this new experience and quickly occupied two ball tables.
When Angel returned to Klein, he was surprised to find that he was chatting with a man in his thirties wearing a long windbreaker.
It was the bodyguard of the family of four... Angel recognized the man's identity and did not disturb them. Instead, he secretly listened to a conversation and found that the two were communicating with each other... Adventure experience?
Klein talks less and listens more, and the former Adventurer and current bodyguard named Krivis is a bit talkative. He took the initiative to contact Klein, a dangerous-looking guy, because he was worried about his employer's safety on the ship. Now he keeps telling about his adventures, making Angel somewhat suspicious of his purpose.
Seeing Klein glance at her, she nodded and walked aside, not to disturb the conversation between the two Adventurer.
However, this Krivis seems not to have discovered that in addition to "Gehrman Sparrow", there is another dangerous person on the ship...
She stood by one of the portholes, looking at the blue sea outside the window, feeling a little sad in her heart.
Two days ago, she was successfully promoted to "Affliction" Demoness, which not only brought Beyonder Ability, such as Frost, Black Flame and curse before Angel, to a higher level, but also gave her a brand new ability - disease.
This allows her to quickly make all living things sick in a wide range with herself as the center. At first, she only has symptoms such as itching, fever, and cough. If she does not leave in time or take corresponding measures, it will turn into severe pneumonia and other serious diseases within one minute. In three minutes at most, she will die from Myocardial Infarction, cerebral thrombosis and other fatal diseases.
To be precise, when she exerts her full strength, all creatures within a radius of 50 meters will die in an instant. If they are in a relatively closed building, this speed will be further accelerated.
Now in the middle of White Agate, if this ability is activated, except for Klein who can use Flaming Jump to escape from the ship, everyone else may not escape death. In less than five minutes, this ship full of hundreds of passengers and sailing on the sea will turn into a large coffin... As far as she knows, other Sequence 5 will never be able to achieve such a high killing efficiency...
Angel thought a little gloomily, and there was an impulse to "try it" in his heart.
After Backlund East Borough was forcibly promoted, controlling this ability, amplified by Sapphire Ring, infected hundreds of thousands of people with non-fatal pruritus and pharyngitis, making her Premature Acting "Affliction" Sequence, so that Potion has been partially digested. If the disease is actively used to kill hundreds of people on this ship...
No!
Angel quickly put an end to this dangerous idea.
Even when she was Sequence 9, she did not try to harm the lives of innocent people to digest Potion and speed up her promotion, not to mention that she had firmly reached Sequence 5 now.
After suppressing the instinctive temptation brought by Potion, she felt a little relieved and felt that the sea outside the window was much bluer.
"Sister, it's dangerous near the window. Be careful not to fall."
A slightly innocent voice sounded beside her, and Angel turned to look sideways. It was the little boy he met at the boarding gate before. He was wearing a children's version of a tuxedo formal suit that should not be worn at his age. He looked up at Angel curiously.
"Danton! Be careful!" Her sister, a girl who is about the same age as Melissa but has a completely different personality, quickly stepped forward and pulled Danton over to protect her. "Her expression just now was so scary!"
