The Fool's Flash of Inspiration

A ship Pirate... eight thousand seven hundred pounds... After the words were spoken, Klein fell silent, the two voices echoing repeatedly in his mind.

His first reaction was:

Is this for real? How could such a thing be possible?

The second reaction was:

Damn it, the Bounty for just "Bloodblade" Savi is eight thousand seven hundred pounds. How much would the Bounty an entire ship of Pirate be?

£20,000? £30,000?

No, not only that, Jodson knew about the existence of Beyonder Characteristic, he could also obtain a considerable number of Beyonder Characteristic and Sealed Artifact.

Although Pirate possessing the latter are relatively rare, they certainly exist; for example, the timid "Hunter" in front of us previously owned a "Shadow Cloak."

Klein collected his thoughts and said in his usual calm tone:

"Please elaborate."

He's got some serious questions about how Jodson managed to do it. Killing Sequence 5 is one thing, but wiping out an entire Pirate ship is obviously much more difficult!

Pirate don't care about code of honor among pirates. Instead of letting Jodson kill his comrade in a duel, they swarm and kill their enemy.

At High Sequence, the numerical advantage of Beyonder remains significant.

It is not uncommon for Beyonder from different Pathway to combine their abilities and easily defeat or eliminate Beyonder of High Sequence.

He had seen numerous similar files with the Nighthawks squad in Tingen.

"The evening paper didn't describe the details." Danitz's condition has improved noticeably; his voice is no longer as weak as before.

The report states that, based on the evidence examined afterward, that guy, cough, Jodson, must have somehow sneaked onto the "Blackthorn," first infiltrated the captain's cabin and killed "Bloodblade" Savi, then immediately moved on, successively taking down "Giant" and "Iron Hand."

"Because they were at sea at the time, the Pirate had nowhere to escape, and even if they fought together, they were no match for the enemy; in the end, they were killed one by one."

After saying that, he frowned and forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace:

"That guy's Bounty has gone up again, to fifteen thousand pounds! Now, besides the captain, he has the highest Bounty on the ' Golden Dream '."

Infiltrating... killing the strongest first, then picking them off one by one... the idea does sound feasible... Speaking of which, I'm the "Faceless," so taking down one Pirate Spirit Channeling would greatly increase my chances of boarding the Pirate ship... And even if the plan fails, I can escape by jumping overboard using the "Sea God Scepter"...

As his thoughts wandered, Klein heard Danitz cough. "Um, I was about to contact the captain. Is there anything you need to tell him?"

He thought for a moment and said:

"If possible, try to find out information about ' Red-Haired Helene '."

Danitz muttered under his breath:

"The captain shouldn't know him, otherwise I certainly would."

However, despite his words, he nodded frankly, "Okay, I'll remember to inquire about this woman."

Klein nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Danitz was already used to his companion's personality, so he casually returned to his Bedroom, intending to try the "Spirit Descent" ritual taught by the captain.

A moment later, as the Incantation echoed, all the pens, papers, and other items in the Altar floated to the surface, and the three candles turned a pale, ghastly green.

Danitz froze, sensing the arrival of "Vice Admiral Iceberg".

He picked up the pen uncontrollably and began writing on the paper:

"You held the ceremony at the wrong time. If the ' Golden Dream ' hadn't happened to be in the nearby waters, the ceremony would never have succeeded."

"Have you forgotten about the Blue Star time I told you about last time? They are..."

Uh... seeing that the captain was about to lecture him again, Danitz quickly spoke up to explain, "No need, Captain, I still remember the time on Blue Star time."

uuɡu. First update, no typos. You won't see the pinyin suffix in the address input. You can then access the first update site.

"The reason we're holding this ceremony so abruptly is because a major event has occurred!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Danitz found herself losing control of her body again. Holding the pen, she wrote two neat lines of words on the white paper:

"Okay, repeat the time Blue Star time."

"What important matter?"

Danitz ignored the first sentence and said with a mournful face:

"Captain, that Jodson fellow has caused a huge mess on Dilinus Island!"

He killed Vice Admiral Dusk's First Mate "Bloodblade" Savi, Third Mate Officer "Giant" Goliath, and First Sailor Chief "Iron Hand" Sagu!

"And the remaining Pirate of the ' Blackthorn '! Wipe them all out!"

"This matter has now been reported in the Rorsted Daily. You must be careful and be wary of the ' Vice Admiral Dusk's ' retaliation!"

After speaking, he spread his hands forward, relinquishing control of his body and awaiting the captain's reply. He then noticed his mouth was slightly open, unable to close, and his hand holding the pen hovered above the white paper, motionless for a long time. A sense of bewilderment welled up within him: Had something gone wrong with the ceremony?

With that thought in mind, he tried to control his body, but he couldn't.

Is the captain still there?

Why doesn't she say, uh, that she doesn't write words?

Just as he was wondering, Danitz saw his hand move again:

"Please elaborate."

Explain specifically? Why does the captain's tone sound so much like Gehrman's —no, why does Gehrman's tone sound so much like the captain's?

He muttered a curse under his breath and began to relay the report from the Rorsted Daily.

Inside the Living Room of the Luxury Suite.

Klein decided to wait another ten minutes, and if Danitz still didn't come out, he would return to his Bedroom and continue with his original plan.

At that moment, his ears twitched slightly as he heard the sound of turning the handle. He immediately abandoned his comfortable sitting posture and straightened his body again.

Seven or eight seconds later, Danitz walked over:

"I asked the captain, and she said that ' Red-Haired Helene ' was likely Sea Merchant who was quite active in the Fog Sea before, but then disappeared."

"There are reports that she disappeared because she was captured by the ' Ailment Maiden,' now known as ' Vice Admiral of Ailment, ' Tracy."

"The successor to 'Vice Admiral of Ailment ' Tracy, ' Vice Admiral Hurricane ' Qilingus?" Klein had a sudden inspiration and remembered the deeds of "Flower Bow Tie" Jodson.

If he disguises himself as "Red-Haired Helene," boards the Black Death, and kills "Vice Admiral of Ailment," Gehrman's name will resound Five Seas!

Whether in the Real World or the Mysticism world, the change of a Pirate Admiral is a major event that will spread Northern Continent in the shortest possible time!

Meanwhile, at the small Inn at Bayam Wharf.

Lorry suddenly woke up from his dream, sensing the "Star Mark" connection from the Spirit World. His dissatisfaction at being woken up instantly turned into a smirk.

He quickly set up the altar, preparing to receive the call from "Vice Admiral Iceberg".

Three minutes later, Edwina's usually cool and even voice, unusually undulating, echoed in the center of the altar:

Your vacation is over!

"Where are you right now? I'll have the ' Golden Dream ' come pick you up!"
