"Nightmare Knight...?"
Whitebeard Gordon silently repeated the words, his brow deeply furrowed.
Just as Yang Yi had thought, he had connections with important figures in the Holy Capital, with vested interests tying them together, so he knew something about Paladins.
But a Nightmare Knight... he truly had never heard of one.
Still, Gordon dared not question it. It was perfectly normal for the Radiant Holy Church to have secrets he knew nothing about, such as Paladins who concealed their whereabouts and carried out secret missions in a low profile.
Besides, there was no faking that high-ranking Light Fairy with three pairs of wings. Coupled with the pair's unusual attire... they were very likely undercover agents who had infiltrated the heretics!
Gordon's eyes lit up. Everything immediately became clear to him.
The earlier mass migration of Fire Worship Cult believers had been highly suspicious to begin with. It was only natural that the Radiant Holy Church would intervene and investigate!
And so, without Yang Yi knowing, Whitebeard Gordon had already sorted out his story for him, filling in all the blanks himself.
On the Treasure Ship's deck.
At Yang Yi's request, the members of the Nightmare Star gathered one after another, ready to settle their purchases together.
The Old Captain went first.
As soon as Yang Yi stepped onto the deck, he saw him standing there holding a black fishing rod over six meters long. Its end was even fitted with a spearhead, making it perfectly usable as a weapon.
"At least it's an exceptional fishing rod..."
Yang Yi touched it and read its information as he spoke. He felt the Old Captain's eye for things had improved. He might not have chosen the most expensive one, instead picking an armed fishing rod that also offered practical utility.
