Of course he knows... his bounty has been upgraded again.
Danitz remembered the reason why his bounty changed from 1,200 pounds to 3,000 pounds. At that time, he was promoted to Sequence 7 and killed a former thief on the street in Tiana Port The pirates who attacked the vacation Sailor of "Golden Dream" were published in the local newspapers, and the church and the army increased the reward, and the latter was closely related to "Admiral of Blood".
It was the same this time. In order to take revenge, and to remind his captain "Admiral of Blood" Senior that he was targeting her, Danitz used the power of the two people in front of him to solve the problem of "Steel" Maviti and many of his men, and reported the incident to Bayam's major newspapers.
Of course, in order to maintain regional stability, these contents were not published in the newspapers, but in less than a week, the reward amount on his wanted order, which was slightly lower than that of pirates of the same level, jumped up a lot, and he became a "rich man" ranked high on "Golden Dream". This was obviously the result of the colonial government and church re-evaluating his strength.
As for the man and woman in front of him, it wouldn't take more than a few minutes to kill "Steel" Maviti, and I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to let the residents downstairs hear anything... Danitz assessed the gap in combat power between the two sides in his mind, and quickly followed his inner thoughts and stopped struggling.
"Hmph, anyway, you will understand the horror of this Radio Telegraph in a moment. I will remember every word it spits out in my heart and tell everyone I know..."
He thought bitterly.
Passing by Danitz who was hanging by a silk thread with a strange expression on his face, Angel slowly approached the ticker that looked a little weird under the crimson Crimson Moon light, and read the information on the paper spit out from underneath it.
"Arrodes", must answer the question... This can't be the Sealed Artifact Magic Mirror owned by Backlund's "Machinery Hivemind", right? I remember that the deacon named Ikanser was a little afraid of it, but the questions it asked were all friendly. Why is it so mean-spirited now?
"Are you the 'Arrodes' we once knew?"
Angel asked cautiously, and made up his mind that if the other party asked any strange questions, he would use a silk thread to eject it into the sea not far away.
"Yes! Thank you for still having a place in your heart for me, your humble servant Arrodes!"
Amidst the clicking sound, a line of squiggle Loenese was spat out by the ticker. The exclamation mark at the end of the sentence was accompanied by an elongated ink mark, which seemed to be the embodied expression of the other party's passionate mood.
"Did you and that gentleman enjoy your vacation at Bayam?"
As another line of text was spit out, Angel confirmed that the "soul" hidden in this Radio Telegraph was indeed Backlund's eccentric Sealed Artifact.
"Not bad."
"Exact answer! You can ask the next question."
The expression on Danitz's face, which was hung by a silk thread and his feet were not touching the ground, was completely broken. He couldn't believe that "Arrodes", who had just asked a shameful question that hit his heart, was now acting like a humble subordinate trying to please his boss, flattering him so much that he even lost his face!
This is simply a dream, a nightmare for me... He shook his stiff neck and looked around, trying to recognize the unreality of this dream, but he found Gehrman Sparrow by the door walking towards him, and there was a hint of hope in his heart.
Ta-ta-ta.
Before the sullen Mad Adventurer approached, the ticker "Arrodes" typed a new line of text, also Loenese. The font was even enlarged a few sizes for Klein who was further away:
"Your loyal servant Arrodes is at your service."
No, no... Where is the evil Arrodes just now? Ask them questions and ask them what they are secretly doing in their room on New Year's Eve! Ask this guy why he has to go to the bathroom twice an hour!
Danitz screamed desperately in his heart. If it weren't for the threads on his body gradually tightening, and if it weren't for the twitching corners of Gehrman's mouth that portended danger, he would have even wanted to ask those questions on behalf of the ticker.
But in the end, the fire in his heart extinguished, he gave up struggling, his limbs drooped, like a salted fish hanging from the ceiling, and his whole person became quiet.
Reading the previous three questions carefully, Klein could hardly hold back the serious expression on his face. He glanced at Danitz from the corner of his eye, and was pleased to find that the latter's neck was drooped and not looking at him, and then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"I do have a question for you."
He said slowly, watching the ticker make a continuous sound of typing, spitting out a line of text.
"Please, my master. May I call you this? I feel a familiar scent."
Familiar... smell?
Klein's first reaction was that Arrodes continued the behavior of Backlund, trying to please himself and Angel to escape the control of "Machinery Hivemind" and gain freedom, so he tracked it to the sea and got into the ticker.
But he then remembered that in a strange dream, he used Arrodes to watch a record of "Machinery Hivemind" attacking Tomb of Amon, and was respectfully called "Great Existence above Spirit World" by the other party. He thus determined that the origin of the abnormality on today's ticker should be the mysterious Gray Fog on his body.
After all, after I got Radio Telegraph from "Magician" Miss, I forgot about it on top of Gray Fog. I only remembered it after a few days. Maybe it was contaminated. I caught the relevant aura and was discovered by Arrodes... Well, this reminded me to be careful that items that have been placed in Gray Fog for a long time will attract the attention of some powerful beings when they return to reality...
He thought, nodded, and continued:
"Where to find living mermaids."
He was afraid that the other party would give out the location of the undead mermaid like Mr. Azik, so he limited the range.
The illusory white paper spit out by the ticker this time was extra long and densely packed with content, but it was thoughtfully divided into several areas and even had a simple map annotation.
From the answers, Klein learned about the mermaid settlement that believed in Evernight Goddess near the eastern channel of Gargas Archipelago, the clues about the wild mermaids in the illusory sea area of "Ruins of the War of the Gods" further east, and the locations of the mermaids kept in Cathedral of Serenity at the church headquarters Holy Cathedral and Dainos Island.
Most of them are under the control of Church of the Evernight Goddess... Why does the church that controls "Sleepless" Pathway take so much effort to control the mermaids, in order to prevent "Faceless" from continuing to be promoted, or do these creatures have other important uses?
Klein assessed the risk and thought that even with "Faceless"'s ability to change appearance, it would be too dangerous to dress up as Nighthawks or a bishop to approach the believer mermaids. Since you have the ability to raise them, you must be fully prepared for this. If you approach rashly, you may be falling into a trap... At the very least, the pensions you have given to Melissa and Benson must be recovered...
He was hesitating where to take the risk when he found that the ticker continued to spit out white paper:
"According to the rules, I want to ask you a trivial question," the words were crooked, revealing the humility hidden in them. "Did you know that Church of Evernight has been guarding against 'Faceless'?"
This... is so considerate. It helped me rule out the answer of Error.
Klein rubbed his face to prevent his expression from collapsing, and then slowly replied:
"I know now."
"Exquisite!"
The speed of spitting out the paper was so fast that the illusory white paper almost flew into the air, with a new sentence at the end. "The energy on the ticker is about to dissipate, and I can only answer one more question."
Energy? It says the breath of Gray Fog, right? I said this because Angel and Danitz were by my side... Klein thought for a moment and gave the right to ask questions to Angel.
"I would like to know the location of 'Gazer'."
Angel's question was also related to Potion. She originally wanted to throw Danitz out the door and ask again, but then she thought that if he heard such a clueless thing, it would be equivalent to being known by the knowledgeable "Iceberg Admiral" Edwina, which might generate new clues, so she did not hide it.
"This is a kind of creature that can shuttle between Spirit World and reality. Most of them have been controlled in a certain Spirit World area that does not belong to Physical World. Because they come with Anti-Divination I can't determine the specific location. There are still a few 'Gazer' located on a small island near the real 'Midway Island'. Although the danger is also great, it is safer than exploring Spirit World."
The ticker controlled by Arrodes quickly gave the answer.
Midway Island...Where is this?
Angel recalled the map in his mind, but quickly gave up and decided to ask "Flame" Danitz, a pirate and Adventurer, later.
Immediately, she calmed down and prepared to deal with the other party's "problem".
Ta da, da.
The firing pin inside the machine began to become weak, and white paper slowly spit out:
"It's my turn to ask a question, distinguished Miss, do we have a chance to meet again?"
What kind of problem is this... Is there a problem with Danitz, or is there a problem with Klein and I? Or maybe Arrodes is desperate to escape "Machinery Hivemind"?
Angel chuckled secretly and replied:
"I think this opportunity is up to you."
"An accurate answer! As long as you stay with my master, we will meet again~"
Arrodes used his last breath of energy to spit out these words, and then Radio Telegraph stopped all movement, and the illusory white paper stacked below it also lost its trace. Everything that happened in the room seemed to be just an illusion shared by the three of them.
No, some of them are not hallucinations...Danitz is still tied up with silk threads...
Angel waved his fingers, hiding the invisible thread, and put down the salted fish that had given up its struggle, letting him fall to the floor in a kneeling posture.
"You continue to monitor the signal of 'Admiral of Blood', or you can try to tell 'Iceberg Admiral' all this."
Klein took a deep breath, and then got rid of Danitz's lonely expression, which seemed to have lost the meaning of life. He tried his best to maintain a cold tone and ordered, and then left the suite that did not belong to them with Angel one after another.
"Tell the captain... is he advising me, or threatening me with irony?"
Danitz's dulled thoughts gradually returned to normal. He looked at the normal ticker under the moonlight and felt that he had lost interest in everything.
After sitting on the floor for a long time, he slowly stood up, hugged the simple machine, walked into the bedroom, and locked the door.
After a while, a continuous "buzzing" sound of shaking the power-generating handle came from the room. The energy seemed to be taking advantage of the opportunity to charge and store electricity to destroy this cutting-edge device, so that Gehrman, who threatened to use his bounty to buy another one, was speechless.
