As soon as the sky dawned, Klein, wearing a thick windbreaker, a half-top hat and carrying a suitcase, arrived at the port in a hired carriage.
He got out of the car when he was still some distance away from the dock, took out a coin and did a divination, and then walked quickly to the place where he was scheduled to board the ship.
Compared to the newly awakened city, the dock is already extremely noisy, with freighters waiting to load and unload cargo, busy dock workers, and passengers queuing to board the ship. The various sounds cover up the footsteps of Klein.
He took out the ticket he bought in advance yesterday, accepted the check-in from the crew, and moved to the end of the queue under the other party's command.
As long as he boarded this steam-powered passenger ship, within a few hours, he would be able to stay away from Blue Mountain Island where Bayam was, avoid the turbulent garrison, Mandated Punishers, and "Admiral of Blood" and "Rose School" who wanted to deal with him...
After registering another passenger, the crew member who just checked the tickets for Klein looked back and suddenly found that the man in the trench coat wearing the top hat was no longer among the team!
The crew looked around and saw that there were many Loen people dressed like this in the noisy dock, but upon closer inspection, it was not him.
Strange, how could someone buy a ticket but not board the ship?
"Warnings from multiple sources indicate that those who are going to be detrimental to us are 'Admiral of Blood' Senior, and the 'Rose School' behind him...
"The reminder of 'Orange Light' Hilarion in Seven Lights of the Spirit World points to the real man behind the scenes, 'Mother Tree of Desire' who once tried to pollute us..."
In the living room of the luxurious suite of "Azure Wind", Klein, who was watching "Orange Light" leave, was completely sleepless. He stared closely at the message that said "I caught you" and slowly explained.
"Seven Lights of the Spirit World?"
Sitting on the single sofa opposite him is the heavily armed Angel. The two of them dare not sleep at all now, and they are worried that they will encounter official personnel who are hunting Helmosuin when they go out, so they can only stick to the hotel and wait for dawn.
Upon hearing this unfamiliar term, she immediately asked.
"I have seen it in a book called "Travels in the Spirit World". They are the seven Pure Lights located at the top of Spirit World, which contain infinite knowledge. Experienced occult experts can use Mystic Ritual to contact them and obtain corresponding knowledge. These seven Pure Light call themselves 'Pure Light Brotherhood' and often enter Physical World, transforming into geniuses in a certain field and teaching humans the corresponding knowledge."
Klein first gave a brief explanation, and then brought the topic back on track.
"As Helmosuin, a great scientist, who calls himself one of Seven Lights is quite credible. Since he mentioned that 'Mother Tree of Desire' covets us, our strategy must focus on this and make corresponding adjustments."
"Key point..." Angel murmured, and quickly summarized some key points, "Admiral of Blood's pirate fleet needs to be careful. It may not be safe for us to leave by sea; 'Rose School' may have Demigod involved in attacking us. Attack, with their style of daring to enter Backlund to capture Sharron Miss, there is a high possibility that Bayam, who is in charge of 'Sea King' Yarn Courtman, will directly attack."
"Their Pathway is mainly 'Prisoner'. According to 'Orange Light' Hilarion, their ultimate goal is to capture us alive and dedicate them to 'Mother Tree of Desire', so we need to prevent them from approaching through buildings and obstacles in the form of Wraith, and then use 'possession' to control us..."
Klein added.
"Then the goal is clear. You cannot stay in Bayam, nor can you leave by sea. You must also be careful not to be possessed by 'Wraith' and lose your resistance..." Angel took over, "First of all, we must prepare to deal with Purification Bullet of Wraith. The ability of Sun Brooch is also very important. Secondly..."
"Secondly, we split up."
In the woods near the dock, Klein was holding his suitcase in one hand and his top hat in the other, walking quickly towards the cliff in the distance.
After passing a thick tree, he looked back at the pier below. It was no different from when he left, still noisy and busy. The passenger ship he was supposed to take had left the port and was slowly heading north, dragging thick smoke.
If I really get on the boat, I'm afraid "Admiral of Blood" Senior is not far away waiting for me to surrender...
He chuckled, stopped looking far away, and continued towards the cliff by the sea. There, he can use the Charm of "Sea God" to attract friendly sea creatures. Just like he hitchhiked in the mouth of the sea monster last time, he can sneak away from the Blue Mountain Island where Bayam is and go to other islands.
Seeing the edge of the woods and the cliff right in front of him, he dug into the inner pocket of his windbreaker and prepared to take out the Charm that he had already prepared.
At this moment, the top hat on Klein's head was blown off by the breeze, which made him frown and subconsciously wanted to catch it.
The silk top hat seemed to be held by invisible hands, circled above, returned to the front, and suddenly pressed hard on his face, pocketing his mouth and nose inside and covering it tightly.
At the same time, the fallen leaves and branches all around were like sharp knives with sharp thorns, rushing towards Klein.
Snap.
Klein released his left hand holding the suitcase and let it fall to the ground. The surface of the black gloves became deeper and darker.
"Creeping Hunger" has instantly switched to the soul of "Desire Apostle".
The palm of his right hand was facing down, and a light blue fireball filled with the smell of sulfur appeared in his hand. It fell quickly as soon as it took shape, touched the ground, and exploded.
Boom, the fallen leaves under the feet, the wooden suitcase, and the surrounding branches and leaves that seemed to have their own lives were all enveloped by the sudden flames and turned into ashes.
The figure of Klein appeared at the edge of the fireball. He had used "Flaming Jump" to get rid of the silk top hat covering his mouth and nose. His brown eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, looking for the attacker who had not yet appeared.
The flames created by Magma Fireball quickly dissipated, and the billowing smoke crossed the tree crowns and floated into the sky. Where Klein dropped the suitcase, thicker black smoke was rising, and soon floated to a height of 100 meters, making this place noticed by the entire Bayam city.
What was in his suitcase was not clothes at all, but smoke-generating drugs that he had prepared himself and ignited when exposed to fire!
Once they are attacked in the wild, they can be easily discovered by anyone who is paying attention to what is going on in the city by setting them on fire.
Among them are "Sea King" Yarn Courtman, Sequence 3 Saint of Church of Storms.
As if it was clear that it could not be delayed any longer, a figure of Distortion appeared at the edge of the smoke among Klein and Spirit Vision. It was a vaguely cold man wearing a black robe, but his figure was hazy and looming.
It is indeed "Wraith", but not Senior. Could it be Demigod of "Rose School"...Klein His eyes immediately locked on the other party, and in the next second, he used "Flaming Jump" without hesitation, and with the help of the withered leaves that had not been extinguished and were blown into the sky by the hot air, he reached the other end of the smoke and ran towards the cliff not far away.
The expected Demigod appeared, and the only thing he could do was to run as fast as possible, and then pray that "Sea King", or other helpers, could be there as soon as possible...
Suddenly, Klein's running figure froze in place, then slowly lowered his arms and legs and stood at attention.
In each of his eyes, a figure wearing a black robe and tan skin appeared, about to transform into a complete human form.
Poof, bright yellow flames burst out from the hem of his windbreaker, and his figure disappeared in "Flaming Jump". The target was the direction he came from, the other end of the woods where the smoke was billowing.
But the next second, the flames dissipated, and the figure of Klein appeared on the same spot without moving at all.
In his eyes, two figures in black robes had taken shape, and then dispersed into brown, covering the entire pupil.
He has been possessed by "Wraith" and has taken complete control of the action.
"Klein" shook his neck and shook his arms, as if he was getting familiar with his "new body". After a moment, he changed direction and walked down the cliff to the uninhabited beach on the outskirts of Bayam.
There was already a small boat waiting here. Several pirates held oars in their hands and looked left and right. When they saw him coming, they were first surprised and then welcomed him happily.
"Master Zatwin?"
the leading pirate asked.
"Reply the number 'Flesh and Blood Tree' immediately."
Klein ordered coldly, as if he was not "Mad Adventurer", but the immediate boss of these pirates.
Several pirates obeyed the order and took Klein away from the beach in a small boat. They quickly followed the low tide to a huge reef not far away. Around the reef, a ship with a dark red surface, white sails and black masts forming a strange tree shape was parked here.
That was the "Flesh and Blood Tree", the flagship of "Admiral of Blood" Senior, which made all the Sailor and passengers at sea change their minds.
Seeing this notorious ship, a look of hesitation flashed across Klein's face, and his dull, dazed eyes became clear for a moment. However, possessed by "Wraith", he did not hesitate in his actions and climbed up the deck along the lowered rope ladder. Then, under the puzzled eyes of the pirates, he slowly walked into the inner cabin and arrived at the captain's cabin with ease.
Senior, wearing a three-cornered hat and cold eyes, was standing at the chart table in the captain's cabin. When he heard the movement, he looked up and immediately became respectful, lowered his head and said:
"Zatwin Master!"
The possessed Klein nodded, walked into the room, and sat directly on the high-backed chair belonging to the captain. The real captain Senior stood beside him like Sailor.
After sitting down, Klein said:
"In this way, the task is half completed, where is Shanks?"
"Master Shanks left with that Holy Artifact. He should have a clue to the woman's location."
Senior replied, completely different from his usual domineering attitude.
Hearing this, the expression on Klein's face changed slightly.
"Haha, this body is still somewhat resistant. Possession cannot last long and will cause fatal damage to him. You take over control first, and I will put him into a deep sleep. After Shanks succeeds, I will directly perform sacrifices on your ship."
On my ship... There was something strange in Senior's eyes, but it was not reflected in his movements. He just nodded and watched as Zatwin, who possessed Klein, released part of his "control" and allowed his head to regain its "freedom".
This allows another "Wraith" to use his eyes to possess him again, but the target cannot use his body and escapes control.
In the weak candlelight in the captain's cabin, Klein's brown eyes turned from dull to clear, but the figure of Senior wearing a three-cornered hat immediately appeared in them. The lines were outlined, the colors were filled, and they were about to become complete.
This is obviously slower than Zatwin's previous control, which shows the different strength gap between the two Sequence.
At this moment, the expression on Klein's face changed. First he became angry, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were condensed, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
