To Oravi Island

The forces behind me?

Luther was taken aback by Anderson's question.

Upon closer examination, it seems that he really doesn't have any powerful backing.

Church of the Evernight Goddess?

That was at most a former workplace; after I miraculously returned from the dead, I lost all contact with them.

Why do you believe that I have another force behind me?

Luther asked calmly.

"Captain, when we were stranded on the island, you told me you were a follower of the Fool," Anderson chuckled. "So I thought there might be an entire organization that worships the Fool behind you."

Oh right, and there's also the Tarot Club.

However, to be precise, the Tarot Club can't be considered a definitive organization. Although it's a prestigious, albeit informal, Council of the Gods, Mr. Fool never forces or binds its members, only occasionally offering guidance. This organization primarily serves as a platform for exchange and transactions.

As for faith... he felt more gratitude towards the Fool than faith. After all, as a former Secrets Suppliant, he already had his own opinions about the existence of gods.

That's why he told Anderson at that time, "In some ways, I'm a believer."

Just assume that's how it is.

Luther said vaguely.

Seeing Anderson still standing there, he realized, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, Captain."

Anderson asked, "Which way are we headed? What are we going to do next?"

The Fleet had set sail urgently to avoid the approaching "Sea King" Arne Kottman. Now, after drifting at sea for several days without a clear destination, the crew members were beginning to waver to varying degrees.

After all, we're a pirate Fleet. What kind of ships do we raid? Which sea lanes do we patrol and hunt? Even if we're going to fight the navy, we need to have a clear destination, right?

"Oh, that's true."

Luther nodded, indicating his understanding.

The Fleet sailed for several days away from Toscarter Island, and Yann Kottman did not catch up, indicating that they should be safe. It was time to determine the next steps.

"Bring the 'Sea Serpent' here."

He said.

Not long after, Sailor "Sea Serpent" Walter rushed into the Captain's Cabin.

"Captain, you wanted to see me?"

He asked eagerly.

"Um."

Luther looked him up and down. "Walter, I called you in because I have something to ask you."

"May I ask you something?"

What are the main shipping lanes in this area?

His Sailor was a former pirate captain and should have been very familiar with merchant shipping routes.

There are two main points.

Upon hearing that he was asked about an area he was familiar with, Walter immediately perked up, turned to the table, and pointed to the lower right corner of the unfolded nautical chart. "We are currently roughly south of Toscarter Island, and there are two main shipping lanes nearby. One leads southwest to Symeem Island, and the other northwest to Oravi Island."

Upon hearing "Oravi Island," Anderson's body twitched slightly.

The misfortune brought upon him by Ouroboros had not yet subsided. The solution that Luther had previously obtained from the Chairman the "Life School of Thought" was to go to the Oravi Island to find a "Councilor of Fate"!

Which route will encounter the Loen Navy?

Luther had also thought of this, but instead of making a decision immediately, he continued to ask questions.

"... You'll encounter both, but Symeem Island is closer."

Upon hearing Luther inquire about the navy's whereabouts, "Sea Serpent's" brow twitched, but she still answered truthfully.

"Captain."

Anderson took a step closer and said, his eyes eager. It was clear he wanted to go to Oravi Island.

"Um."

Luther nodded, then asked the Sea Serpent, "Are the supplies on the ship enough? How many days will it take to get to Oravi Island?"

As the captain, he still needs to consider the issue of supplies.

Our Fleet has very few people.

Walter recalled the mere twenty-odd crew members on board and the two ships beside it crammed with Flesh Puppet, and his lips twitched. "The supplies on the three ships are enough for a long time."

"Good."

Luther nodded. "Notify the whole ship, we're heading to Oravi Island."

"Yes!"

Walter perked up and was about to go out when Luther called him back.

"Walter, which Pathway did you take?"

He looked at the other person and asked.

"The 'Lawyer' Pathway, Captain."

Walter answered cautiously.

That's why he tried to persuade me with his eloquence at that time.

Luther nodded. "How's the Potion digesting?"

"Well, it's all been digested, but we haven't received the subsequent formulas..."

"I see."

Luther said calmly, waving the other person out.

Walter bowed to him with a mixture of unease and anticipation, then turned and left the Captain's Cabin. A short while later, his voice came from outside, summoning the Sailor. He was announcing the captain's decision and directing everyone to adjust the ship's course.

Cheers soon erupted; the Sailor finally had a clear goal.

"Are you planning to give him a Sequence 7 Potion?"

Hearing the noise outside, Anderson asked with a smile.

"If he does his job well, it's normal to give him some rewards."

Luther glanced at Anderson. "You too."

"Shu Yiyi, really? So generous?"

Anderson whistled and laughed, "But what I need is Demigod- level Potion recipe. Even you, Captain, couldn't possibly have such a coincidence... What is this?"

Before he could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly widened.

Because Luther now held a tarot card. It was a beautifully designed card depicting Emperor Roselle in a red priest's robe, riding the Chariot. In the upper right corner of the card were written the following words:

"Sequence 0: The Red Priest"!

"This, this is..."

Anderson's voice trembled slightly.

Looking at the shape of the playing cards and feeling the high- Pathway attraction emanating from them, he quickly recalled some information left over from Concealment knowledge and connected it with something.

"The Card of Blasphemy."

Luther smiled, giving the answer he had expected, "The Card of Blasphemy, rumored to have been created by Emperor Roselle and containing the complete Sequence of Potion recipes for the entire Pathway?"

Anderson, as if incredulous, continued to press for answers.

"That's right. As expected of someone who's Church of Knowledge, they know so much. And what a coincidence, this card just happens to be from the Hunter Pathway."

Luther shook the cards in his hand, as if his memory had suddenly deteriorated, and asked with feigned confusion, "Oh right, what did you just say?"

"I mean, I will always be loyal to the Captain and take it upon myself to carry out his will."

Anderson immediately changed his attitude, straightening his posture with a serious expression.

"Meow..."

In a corner of the Captain's Cabin, Luna, who had witnessed everything, squinted and let out a low snort, seemingly feeling helpless at the fickleness of humanity.
