Meeting

After more than ten hours of sailing at full speed, Luther's Fleet finally reached the waters near Bayam.

Of course, the entire Fleet entering the port would be too conspicuous. As always, he gave orders to have the Fleet wander in waters outside the normal shipping route, while he and Anderson Concealment landed on Blue Mountain Island.

The entire island was bustling with activity, its prosperity surpassing that of any other island I had seen before. Yet, all of this was built upon the oppression of the local people. The most menial and arduous jobs were done by them, who had been reduced to slavery.

"Captain, should we scout the location first?"

Strolling through the bustling streets of Bayam, Anderson asked eagerly, still unaware of Luther's specific plans.

"No rush, come see someone with me first."

Luther answered.

See someone?

Anderson was somewhat surprised, and followed Luther through a maze of turns until they arrived at a secluded corner.

There, people had been waiting for quite some time.

"Tap, tap."

The man removed his top Top Hat, put on a very thin glove, and walked over with steady steps.

This is..

Using the dim light in the alley, Anderson carefully examined the other person's face. The more he looked, the more familiar the face seemed, until he finally connected it with a recently famous figure.

"Gehrman Sparrow?"

He raised an eyebrow and called out the other person's name.

The adventurer who killed the second mate of the Admiral of Blood... Hmm, he seems to have some strength, but he's still a bit behind me, the former Strongest Hunter.

The person the captain wanted to see was actually him?

"It's me."

The other person replied calmly, their gaunt, cold face expressionless, "You're late." "Hey, buddy, watch your attitude."

Anderson chuckled, somewhat displeased, "Our captain is Sequence 4 Demigod; it's rather impolite of you to speak like that."

How dare an adventurer who's only just gained some fame speak so arrogantly?

66"

Gehrman Sparrow didn't answer, but simply stared directly at Anderson, appearing very aloof.

"Brush!"

A chilling, intensely hungry sensation instantly enveloped him. It was as if a ferocious beast was writhing in the void, yearning to devour fresh Flesh.

What the heck!

Anderson felt a chill run down his spine, his Spirituality immediately alerting him. He instantly retreated, creating distance between them.

Haha, Klein, he's really nailed the Crazy Adventurer persona...

Seeing Anderson's frightened expression, Luther chuckled mischievously to himself, but didn't stop him. After all, he knew his colleague's true nature and knew that the other wouldn't actually attack Anderson like that.

"Alright, this is irrelevant."

He waved his hand, signaling Anderson to step back.

However, with his first mate present, Klein had to maintain his aloof persona, making proper communication impossible.

"Anderson, you've met him. Now let's take a stroll around the area around the Governor's Mansion and familiarize ourselves with the terrain."

Luther said this.

In other words, you wanted to scout out the location, right? Go ahead and do it.

"OK."

Anderson replied with a smile, glanced at the adventurer again, and left the alley.

"Call."

Klein seemed relieved, wiped his face, and returned to his original appearance.

"Heh, you scared my first mate."

Luther smiled and then asked, "How is the situation now?"

"According to the local servants in the Governor's Mansion, they saw a red-haired, elegant woman staying in a Governor's Mansion room, whose appearance matched that of 'Red-haired Helene.'"

Klein said in a deep voice.

Based on this, it's basically confirmed that it's "Red-haired Helene".

Luther nodded. "What about Roy King?"

Before setting off, he obtained Portrait of Roy King from Darkwill and passed it on to Klein in advance.

"A servant who brought food to the Governor's Mansion's dungeon in the middle of the night noticed that many more guards had been added outside the deepest cell," Klein replied. "They are guarding Roy King."

Using the "Sea God's Scepter," Klein successfully usurped the position of "Sea God" from Kalvetua. He used the scepter to issue divine pronouncements, directing all believers to search for clues for him. Coincidentally, the locals generally worshipped the "Sea God," allowing Klein to obtain a wealth of useful information from them.

Then there's nothing more to say.

Luther thought to himself, "I should go to the Governor's Mansion."

"Besides,"

Klein didn't stop talking; instead, he continued sharing information.

He has so much to say, and it really wouldn't be appropriate for him to speak if Anderson were there.

He handed me an open sheet of paper. "This is a rough layout of the Governor's Mansion's Mansion. The main building is in the center at the front, Red-haired Helene lives in a guest room on the second floor. She doesn't leave her room much; her meals are delivered to her by servants. The dungeon is located in the basement of the annex at the back."

"Because the main building is where the governor rests, it is heavily guarded, and the same applies to the dungeon."

"And what about the level of guards?"

Luther asked, "What's the highest Sequence number?"

"There are definitely extraordinary individuals guarding the Governor's Mansion, but their exact strength is hard to determine. Considering the Governor's wealth and status, I basically believe that the guards' strength is at most Sequence 5."

Demigod is already an extremely extraordinary being in the current world; a governor wouldn't be able to obtain this level of protection.

That's alright.

Luther thought to himself.

But what Klein said next made him uneasy.

"However, outside the Governor's Mansion, there are at least two Sequence 4 and one Sequence 3 in Bayam at this moment. The two Sequence 4 are Admiral Amyrius and Qonas, the Deputy Director of MI9. The Sequence 3 is the Sea King of the Church of Storms, 'Arne Kottman.'"

"If we make too much of a commotion at the Governor's Mansion, they'll find out sooner or later."

Goodness!

Luther couldn't help but smack his lips.

When he attacked Sodela Palace, the Imperial Palace of Backlund, the two Demigod encountered no more than this kind of ferocity!

Compared to then, he has now advanced to Sequence 4 Demigod, and his strength has greatly increased. However, he still finds it difficult to deal with so many High Sequence enemies. Although he could unleash the Blood River at full power and fight them if absolutely necessary, he wouldn't normally risk such a desperate effort.

"Then I think we still need to discuss the implementation plan carefully."

Luther said in a deep voice.

"How about finding someone who knows the inside story?"

Klein's eyes flickered for a moment before he said, "[The Hanged Man] is also on the island. He understands the Church of Storms and is quite experienced; perhaps he can offer us some new ideas."

Hanged Man also in Bayam?

Luther was somewhat surprised, but quickly nodded. "Great, I'm also very interested in his suggestion."
