As Danitz tossed the removed splints and straps into the trash can, he stretched his left arm and said:
"Usually, pirates provoke each other with insults, but I am different; my insults are targeted."
"This requires a wealth of intelligence and rumors, and a thorough understanding of the person you want to provoke. Only then can you use just a word or a single action to make him lose his temper and let anger cloud his judgment."
He paused for a second before saying:
"Like 'steel,' you can call him dog shit, insult his father, mother, or captain, it won't do any good. But if you just make this one gesture and give him a word, he'll definitely turn into a red-eyed bull."
After saying that, Danitz placed his hands on his waist, made a "hip thrust" motion, and shouted in a low voice with utter contempt:
"Bitch!"
... I really want to hit him... No wonder he's called the " Provoker "... As expected, "Iron" Maviti has that kind of tendency and fetish, tsk... Klein loosened his unconsciously clenched fist.
"That's what you call professional provocation," Danitz summarized, shrugging. "If I encounter a beast, Monster, or someone out of control and unable to communicate, I can actively emanate a feeling that makes them hate me. That's an extraordinary ability."
People with such extraordinary abilities are either exceptionally good at taking a beating or exceptionally good at escaping and dodging. Clearly, you belong to the latter... Klein thought to himself.
Danitz, finally free from the worry of his injured left arm, was in a rather cheerful mood and said to himself:
"Actually, I'm quite good at setting traps too, but unfortunately, you don't agree with my plan to hunt 'Iron' Maviti."
Klein suppressed the twitching at the corner of his mouth and calmly replied:
You still have a chance.
"What opportunity?" Danitz asked curiously.
"An opportunity to set traps for Beyonder like 'Steel,' one-on-one, I'll introduce you to one." Klein smiled.
"..." Danitz was speechless for a moment.
He knew very well that traps were often ineffective against someone who was impervious to gunfire, arrows, fire, and flooding.
Danitz chuckled twice, turned to look out the window, and said:
The weather has cleared up...
"Does this mean that the snake in Kavithua is completely dead?"
Klein hummed in agreement, making no attempt to conceal anything.
Danitz sighed, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"In any case, after this city-wide manhunt, for a long time to come, there shouldn't be many pirates daring to come to Bayam, including ' Admiral of Blood '."
"Your and the captain's hunting plans may have to be interrupted. The Sonia Sea is so vast that it's difficult to find a fleet that has deliberately concealed its whereabouts. Besides, they can also go to the Sonia Sea, the Raging Sea, the North Sea, and the Polar Sea."
If it were that easy to take down a pirate general on the high seas, the church and the military would have done it long ago! I'd better get back to the " Golden Dream " as soon as possible! Danitz muttered to himself.
Don't worry, I have a way, and this will be your job... Klein asked calmly:
What is your captain's opinion?
He had already spent £12 to get the radio receiver from Fors, but because he had been busy with the " Sea God " project, he hadn't had time to deal with it here and hadn't yet transferred it from the pile of debris above the Gray Fog to the real world.
Meanwhile, Miss Justice and Mr. The Hanged Man's funds were all received, and Klein's net worth suddenly swelled to £7,085 plus 5 gold coins.
Such wealth would be enough to buy a large, productive estate anywhere.
If it weren't for revenge and finding a way back to Earth, I could have retired by now... Klein thought with a touch of satisfaction.
The captain's opinion... Danitz forced a smile and said:
"Although theoretically the captain and his crew should have entered the 500-nautical-mile range and could attempt the ' Spirit Summoning Ritual,' you know, the sea lanes are not absolutely safe, and the pirates must be extra careful to avoid being caught by military and church ships, which often requires them to go in circles."
"I think it would be better to wait another Angel the ' Spirit Summoning Ritual ' to avoid wasting effort and materials."
"Hmm." Klein didn't say yes or no, and turned to walk towards the restroom.
He decided to go out again today to look for another opportunity to Acting real role.
Watching Gehrman Sparrow's retreating figure, Danitz let out a silent sigh.
I definitely need to contact the captain privately first and persuade her to let me return to the " Golden Dream " before I can use the " Spirit Summoning Ritual " in front of you! Gehrman Sparrow is someone who likes to go out, I have plenty of opportunities and space, hehe, he wouldn't like shopping, would he? Danitz thought with a smirk.
After leaving the Sea Waves Cathedral, Alger Wilson went straight to the Ralph Trading Company, looking thoughtful, and found the owner reading a newspaper.
He knew very well that the well-dressed, bespectacled, and elegant middle-aged man in front of him was a seasoned pirate who secretly supported the rebels and devoutly worshipped the " Sea God " Kavithua.
"What is it, Captain of our ghost ship?" Ralph put down his newspaper, crossed his right leg over his left, and chuckled leisurely.
He was an illegitimate child. His father was an adventurer of both Loen and Feysac blood, and his mother was a local native. He started out as a pirate and later became a trader who operated in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, building a vast network of connections. He could obtain stable assistance from the governor's mansion, the city council, and the police station.
Hearing Ralph's question, Alger almost frowned, because the other man's attitude and tone were quite abnormal.
This abnormality refers to a state that does not conform to Alger's expectations.
In his view, after the complete fall of " Sea God " Kavithua, corresponding ominous signs would inevitably appear throughout the Rorsted Archipelago. Devout believers would certainly sense something was wrong, and would be filled with worry or heavy pessimism. How could they still remain relaxed and natural!
Alger didn't directly Kavithua's matter, and chuckled:
Do you know where Kovaro is lately?
Kovaro is the pirate captain who possesses the traits inherited from the Sanguine Baron. He is said to have been Sailor on the " Black Emperor " and is an outer force of Nast, the " King of the Five Seas ".
"Who knows? But it's definitely not in Bayam, otherwise he would have been caught in the big search a couple of days ago." Ralph shrugged. "I heard his ship headed south."
Alger and Kovaro had actually arranged to meet; he was just using that as a way to start a conversation.
Of course, he knew very well that Kovaro had already gone far away to avoid the tsunami crisis in the Rorsted Archipelago and would not return to Bayam for some time.
However, Alger wasn't in too much of a hurry, because he already knew that Mr. " The Moon " had obtained a bank acceptance bill, and if he withdrew it before the deadline, he would have to pay a discount and lose a lot of interest.
He nodded deliberately and said:
"I understand, thank you for passing on your message."
At this point, Alger pretended not to know what had happened and asked:
"I've heard that many ' Sea God ' statues have broken on their own?"
He did not witness anything like this firsthand, but he could make some reasonable inferences based on church documents and records.
On many colonized islands and in the countries of the Southern Continent, there were more than one or two false gods like Kavithua who were killed by the seven major churches. There are already records of what happened after their deaths.
Ralph nodded readily:
Yes, that's true.
But this isn't bad news.
His expression suddenly turned fanatical:
"For God has returned to the earth in a new form!"
Has God reappeared on earth in a new form? Alger's gaze remained fixed on this, feeling that it was both reasonable and unexpected.
Judging from the Church of Storms's reaction, he was certain that Kavithua was dead. So, which " Sea God " was now responding to the believers?
Based on his previous assessment, he quickly came up with a bold idea:
Is this the embodiment of Mr. The Fool?
Did He gain a new identity through the fall of " Sea God " Kavithua? Could He unleash His power from its seal and directly influence His identity in the real world?
Is this the true purpose of "the world" coming to Bayam?
Wow, Mr. The Fool, that's quite a generous gesture!
Alger swallowed discreetly, suppressing his excitement.
Inside the " Azure Wind " inn, Klein, who hadn't yet stepped outside, saw Captain Elland across the way hand him a stack of cash:
"This is your payment, a total of 100 pounds."
He didn't mention how much Gehrman Sparrow would get or how much " Blazing " Danitz would get; he only said the total amount. How it would be allocated was an internal matter for the other party.
The military is quite generous... Klein thought to himself, taking the thick stack of cash and instinctively reaching for two five-pound notes to toss to Danitz.
His wrist sank slightly, but he ultimately pulled out two more 10-pound notes without any expression.
Gehrman Sparrow is still quite fair, even more fair than the Fair Elland... Danitz happily accepted the payment, feeling that his wallet, which had been empty for some time, had been replenished.
Glancing at Gehrman Sparrow, who was dressed in brand-new clothes, Elland, holding a boat-shaped hat, asked thoughtfully:
News has come from the Church of Storms that the person who posted notices at the church entrance in the middle of the night exposing the problems of Latiz and ' Sea God ' Kavithua was ' Blazing ' Danitz.
"What you think?"
He stared into Danitz's eyes, awaiting an answer.
"Haha," Danitz chuckled dryly, "I don't know him."
Klein was silent for two seconds before saying:
"I went to Simim to fulfill the wish of a deceased adventurer, and met Latiz and her companions at the inn."
"A snake invasion occurred in the middle of the night, which they easily resolved."
"After returning to Bayam, I went to the rebels to buy items and found that they had displayed the Holy Sword, and there were two Mid-Sequence Beyonder guarding that small stronghold."
"I only touched that holy sword once, and I was almost overwhelmed by a mad will and lost control on the spot."
They are still searching for Latiz.
What Klein said was all true, but not all true; however, it was enough to infer the contents of the notice.
Even if the Kingdom's military and the Church of Storms investigate thoroughly, they might uncover more things about Gehrman Sparrow that could potentially change his appearance.
Elland listened attentively, then sighed and smiled:
"In the future, if anything like this happens, you don't need to post notices in the middle of the night. You can come directly to me, and that will earn you a much more generous reward."
He stood up, putting on his hat as he said to Danitz:
"I heard that ' Blazing's' bounty is going up again."
