Solomon Empire's Legacy

A familiar sense of frustration welled up inside me.

For some reason, Danitz suddenly felt as if he were back on the "White Agate," dealing with that Lunatic, Gehrman.

You'd better actually have the Formula for "Conspirer," and once I get it Advancement Sequence 6 —then it'll be hard to say who'll take care of whom—

The thought flashed through his mind, and he took a deep breath and chuckled dryly, "Now?"

Why does this guy look like he's turned into Gehrman? What happened to your 5500-pound Great Pirate dignity? Lorry couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Then, he slightly raised his chin and hummed in agreement.

One generation plants the trees, another enjoys the shade.

Thanks to "The Fool".

The moonlight filled the air.

The sea at night has a unique beauty.

The azure sea during the day is now pitch black, like a bottomless Abyss.

In the gentle night breeze, the Pirate on their day off gathered in small groups under the glow of the Red Moon, loudly puffing away around Beer thicker than their waists.

Lorry glanced at them subtly, then slowly looked away, focusing on the back of the Great Pirate "Flames" who was leading the way.

He did not intend to humiliate Danitz; it was merely for multiple layers of protection.

Unlike last time, it's nighttime now.

With the "Golden Dream" anchored, most of the Sailor, who had nothing to do and didn't want to go to bed early, gathered on the deck.

Bringing Danitz along will make things easier in case of emergencies.

"Hey, you really have a ' Conspirer ' Formula? Where did you get it?" As they were about to go up the stairs, Danitz couldn't help but turn back and ask.

Lorry was silent for a few seconds, then frowned slightly and asked, "What ' Conspirer ' Formula?"

"Dogshit!" Danitz's smile froze on his face for half a minute before he turned and walked away.

I'd rather jump into the sea than believe a word this guy says again! He stormed toward the deck, then suddenly rolled his eyes a few times.

Looking around, he chuckled and walked over. With his Sequence 7 physique, he squeezed out a spot with his buttocks and sat down without any hesitation.

Glug! Glug!

Amidst the shouts and curses of the Pirate on both sides, Danitz picked up a clean glass, filled it with Beer, tilted his head back, and gulped down several mouthfuls before casually...

He said in a tone that suggested, "I think I just saw Jodson go up the stairs."

When did he get back?

Before he could finish speaking, "Gourmet" Bru Wall, "Tinplate," "Bucket," and the others all turned to look at him. "That guy who stinks even more than a can of wolffish is back?"

"You even went upstairs?"

Their expressions changed drastically, a stark contrast to their previous elation, and their gazes toward the stairwell were filled with wariness and hostility.

"Done! Dogshit Jodson, now you know how terrible it is to offend a seasoned ' Hunter '!" Danitz sipped his Beer smugly.

Inside the captain's cabin.

"Are you alright?" Edwina asked calmly.

As she spoke, she gestured for Lorry to sit on the Sofa area diagonally opposite the captain's table, scrutinizing him from head to toe with a critical look.

"It feels like a teacher looking at a student," Lorry thought to himself, nodding slightly.

Edwina gave a soft "hmm," her tone unreadable, neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, and she didn't continue the topic.

She continued without changing her expression, "Two days ago, I received a reply from the church. Your Mysticism Mentor's Potion is on its way and is expected to arrive in a week at most."

"Therefore, we will stay in this area for a few more days."

"We'll get the Potion soon?" Sebastian, who had transformed himself into a ring, couldn't help but ask, his voice brimming with anticipation.

After leaving Backlund, Lorry broke the seal on the ring.

Edwina turned slightly, nodded gently to the floating White Bone Ring, and greeted it with a half-smile, "Good evening, teacher."

Then, he solemnly answered the question, "Yes."

Lorry, watching from the side, secretly rolled his eyes, utterly baffled by the actions of these two Believer of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. Was there any point in such a question-and-answer session?

It's like holding an umbrella in the Sun; it's completely unnecessary.

At this moment, Edwina looked at Lorry again. "I will explain your sudden return to the ' Golden Dream ' by the use of a Charm similar to Teleportation."

"This will perfectly cover up what happened tonight, but there's a downside: other people will definitely come looking for me to ask about the Teleportation Charm."

"We'd better take advantage of this time to really figure it out."

"Killing two birds with one stone—a good plan—" Lorry nodded slightly in agreement.

"Vice Admiral Iceberg" continued, "I need to handle some matters during the day, and I'd like to concentrate my research time in the evenings, from 7 to 10 pm, is that convenient?"

Then, she added in a completely flat tone, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it."

"I just caught a lingering scent of Citrus Scent perfume on you."

"As far as I know, perfume users are generally women from the middle class or above, so I'm worried that you might have your own private plans during this time."

"If that's the case, we can change it to twice a day, one and a half hours each in the morning and afternoon."

Uh... Lorry was speechless.

Sebastian recalled hesitantly, "I remember the silly girl really liked using this perfume—"

As he spoke, he suddenly let out a low snort and said irritably, "Good lad, no wonder I've been sealed away by you all this time and unable to perceive anything from the outside world."

Silly girl? Edwina's gaze flickered slightly, and she pursed her lips gently, but quickly regained her calm, sea-like expression.

Her brief change did not escape Lorry's notice, raising a big question mark in his mind, and his gaze couldn't help but appear slightly strange:

While it's true that gossiping is human nature, aren't you only interested in knowledge?

Don't you want your persona anymore?

With these thoughts running through his mind, he reached for the White Bone Ring, lightly rubbed it against it, and answered the "Vice Admiral Iceberg's " question earlier, "Convenient."

Edwina's expression remained unchanged. "Besides what I just mentioned, we also need to make a decision as soon as possible within this timeframe regarding which treasure to explore."

"The Solomon Empire's Legacy," Lorry said without hesitation.

Having dealt with her a few times, he knew the "Vice Admiral Iceberg's " personality well. Before she could ask, he explained his reasoning, "This is the result of logical analysis and divination."

"Compared to the Ghost Empire, the chances of finding the relics of the Solomon Empire are much greater; even if it's just a part, it's far better than finding nothing at all."

Edwina listened quietly, then nodded gently. "I'll think about it and give you an answer within two days."

As she spoke, she bent down and took a test paper from the drawer of the captain's desk, then walked to the Sofa area and placed it on the Tea Table in front of Lorry: "A simple assessment."

"I need to know how well you understand those materials."
