"I once angered your captain. She must have hated me and was unwilling to say a word to me. What's the point of being hostile to me?
"But Gehrman is different. He is confident about this rescue operation and should be able to recover 'Iceberg Admiral' this time. Then, will Edwina have a good impression of him?
"Think about it, a ship of Sailor has lost its chain at the critical moment, and it depends on an outsider to save her. And this outsider is handsome, decisive, and has a cold beauty. He has even reached the strength of Pirate Admiral. Will she..."
Anderson's words were full of Demon-like allure, which made Danitz, Blue, Yodsen and others first angrily want to deny it, then their expressions froze, and finally they looked thoughtfully at the closed captain's room door.
This guy, I've only been away for ten minutes, and he already started the relationship between Provocation "Golden Dream" and Klein. Is this related to Hunter Pathway's Sequence 6 "conspirator" ability... Angel took a deep breath and stepped forward. His boots made a heavy sound on the wooden floor, making everyone look over.
"But I heard that you and Edwina have been classmates and even deskmates for several years. This is the age when women most long for beautiful love... and many women have special feelings for 'bad men'..."
Although Angel didn't know whether Anderson had ever been at the same table as Edwina, it didn't stop her from using her "Instigation" ability in an extravagant manner, drawing Sailor's attention to herself in just a few words.
Now, it's a duel between "Instigator" and "Conspirator"!
"Furthermore, Danitz, you should have only informed Gehrman, but he followed him resolutely. Is it out of friendship for his former classmates, or does he have some ulterior motives... He drew your attention to Gehrman, maybe he wants to take advantage of it, right?"
Seeing that Anderson looked a little nervous and wanted to speak, she quickly continued.
Almost instantly, Angel felt that the eyes of these Sailor looking at him changed, from being amazed at his new outfit to being wary and wary of Anderson.
"Singer" Orpheus squeezed sideways, squeezing Anderson away from the captain's cabin door, and guarded the door himself. The other Sailor also looked at him eagerly, making Anderson hesitate to speak, and looked at Angel helplessly.
"No... I did only notify Gehrman, but why did you come with me..." Danitz, like the other Sailor, originally crowded towards "Public Enemy of All" Anderson, but suddenly came to his senses, "I understand, you are afraid of Gehrman Sparrow... that..."
He pointed at Angel, frowning slightly, unable to think of any words to describe it.
"Extramarital affair."
Anderson, who had been squeezed into the corner, suddenly spoke up to remind him.
"Yes, yes, extramarital affair! So, Gehrman should be safe!"
Danitz clapped his hands and said loudly.
He brought "The Travels of Grosell" from Gray Fog back to the captain's cabin. Klein skillfully removed the traces of the ritual and made a Anti-Divination out of Paper Figurine. He looked out the porthole at the dark, almost night sky.
"It took about half an hour, but it was confirmed that Edwina has been sucked into this travel book... The question now is, who can we find to test it out?"
He murmured, looking towards the door of the captain's cabin, and was surprised to find that there was deathly silence outside.
He walked forward and opened the locked door, and Klein came to the corridor in front of the door.
"Fire Flame" Danitz's hands and feet were bound by invisible threads and hung upside down from the ceiling of the corridor. His short golden hair hung naturally, making him look like an angry hedgehog.
But his expression was extremely panicked and desperate at the moment, and his eyes were closed tightly, as if he was recalling some embarrassing moments.
Ah, I remembered. When he was monitoring the radio of "Admiral of Blood", he was angered by Arrodes's question and wanted to blow up the radio. He was hung up like this by Angel. He was worried about burying the radio. The secret hidden in my heart was revealed, so I didn't even dare to resist... Klein's eyes quickly swept across the people in the corridor, and stayed for a moment on Angel, who had put on a shirt and tight trousers that highlighted her chest, and had a sullen look on her face.
The other Sailor obviously resisted verbally for a moment, but due to the power of "Ship Breaker" and the concern for the captain's safety, they did not break out. They just squeezed Anderson into the corner and engaged in cold violence. When they saw Klein coming out, they all cast their expectant eyes on him.
"Any clues?"
First Mate Blue, wearing a monocle, broke the silence and asked.
"I need a sacrificial assistant."
Klein nodded first, and then said.
This means that not only are there clues, but a rescue is likely to be carried out... Everyone reacted immediately and looked at Danitz, who was hanging upside down from the ceiling, his face flushed due to congestion.
After a while, the door opened again. Angel looked inside and found that Danitz, who had been sent in just now, had disappeared without a trace.
This means that Klein has successfully "reproduced" the incident of Edwina's disappearance. Next, we must find a way to rescue both of them... Angel, who has seen clues from the abnormal behavior of "The Travels of Grosell" and Klein's behavior, thought to himself.
"Next, I am going to try to save your captain. This will be a long ceremony and cannot be interrupted in any way..."
Klein pushed the top hat on his head and said seriously.
"You need to supervise each other and not allow anyone to enter the captain's room, otherwise Edwina Edwards will have a high probability of dying directly."
After a brief moment of looking at each other, Danitz's "successful disappearance" gave these Sailors enough confidence. First Mate Blue Walls, who had the highest position present, nodded and replied:
"I will arrange for two people to be on duty to supervise each other and not let anyone in."
He glanced at Anderson Hood in the corner and suddenly asked, "Should we lock him up temporarily?"
"He's with me."
Klein replied calmly, opened the door of the captain's cabin again, and returned to the enclosed space.
It seems that the "Instigation" I just said had a big effect... Angel chuckled and followed into the room.
After Anderson, who was mumbling something, followed through the door, she locked the door, tied the door handle repeatedly with invisible threads, and attracted ice to seal the doors and windows. In this way, even if someone tried to force their way in, the noise would be enough for the entire ship to hear.
"So, Edwina really entered this book "The Travels of Grosell"?"
Looking at the cleared desk and the only book bound with tawny parchment on the desk, Angel looked at Klein and asked.
"Yes, I confirmed this through divination," Klein nodded, touching the cover of the travelogue, "The way to enter is to smear your own blood on the cover."
After that, he looked at Anderson who was standing aside as if he had just figured out what happened, made a "please" gesture, and continued:
"The title of 'Strongest Hunter' may still lack some outstanding achievements, such as... successfully hunting a giant dragon?"
Anderson obviously didn't believe this statement, with a frivolous smile on his face.
"I am Treasure Hunter, pirate Hunter, except I am not the dragon Hunter... Legend has it that dragons are always associated with treasures. Not only are you not tempted, but you also want to give me the opportunity?"
Why did this guy become so cowardly when he should be so reckless... Angel already understood Klein's intention, but seeing that Anderson was a little stubborn, he couldn't help but say:
"If you are unwilling, then we will have to solve your problem first."
The other Sailors on the ship were only Sequence 6. It was not safe to keep an eye on this Sequence 5's "Strongest Hunter"... throw him on a desert island and send a team of people to keep an eye on him. It might be feasible for "Golden Dream" to leave here first... She thought and exchanged a cold look with Klein.
"Wait, wait a minute, I'm suddenly interested!" His eyes quickly swept over the two people's faces. Anderson slapped his head, a bright smile appeared on his face, and said quickly, "The dragon Hunter, it sounds very bluffing... I mean Intimidation's people's hearts."
He took the initiative to walk to "The Travels of Grosell", picked up the ceremonial knife, pressed it on his palm, and made a slight stroke to let the blood drip down the handle. Then he put down the knife and directly pressed his palm against the dark brown thick cover.
"Put blood on it, right? How much of it? And the back too?"
It seems like he is the type who becomes talkative when under pressure...
Angel watched silently as Anderson chattered to himself. Just as he was about to smear blood, his figure suddenly became illusory and disappeared in front of the two of them in less than a second.
"This finally solves the problem..." Klein breathed a sigh of relief, took the knife, wiped off the blood that had not dried up with paper, folded it and put it away, then looked at Angel, "You stay in the captain's cabin, I will go in and find the two of them, and then rescue 'Iceberg Admiral' Edwina."
"There are Sailors guarding the door," Angel frowned and snatched the knife from Klein's hand, "And if I understand correctly, after you enter "The Travels of Grosell", you have to solve the "King of the North" before you can come back, right?"
She didn't wait for Klein to speak, but she already put the blade against the palm of her hand. After a moment of hesitation, she made a stroke and opened a gash across her palm.
Seeing her actions, Klein pursed his lips, as if a fierce battle was going on in his mind. After a moment, he nodded.
"... Okay, let's go in together."
He took the knife stained with Angel's blood and used the same method to transfer the blood to another piece of paper and put it away. He crossed the blade of the knife and made gestures on the back of his hand. He narrowed his eyes, tilted his head to the side, and tightened the muscles on his face.
"No wonder you want them to go in first, otherwise your 'acting' will be over when you see this scene."
Angel chuckled and pressed his palm on the cover of "The Travels of Grosell" which had become clean again after absorbing the blood of Anderson.
"... I am already 'Marionettist'..."
Klein stiffened and replied slowly. He no longer hesitated in his hand movements and exerted force suddenly.
The wind roared in his ears, and the cold invaded his whole body. Klein's eyes were dazzled, and he found himself in the endless ice and snow.
Even though he was wearing a thick windbreaker, he had prepared himself mentally. The sight of snowflakes and cold wind blowing against his face still made his muscles stiffen. He bent over slightly and held his hands tightly on his chest.
After a little adapting to the temperature, Klein opened his squinted eyes and looked around.
Beside him, there was no Danitz, no Anderson, and no trace of Angel.
