Bounty... Danitz's cheek muscles twitched, forcing a smile as he pretended he wasn't " Blazing " and didn't care at all.

After Elland left, he suddenly turned around and said to Gehrman Sparrow:

"I think we should change hotels, no, we'd better leave Bayam as soon as possible!"

If I had a bounty of over 5,000 pounds on my back, I wouldn't be safe anywhere! Those pirates and adventurers who were originally on my level would definitely swarm me like sharks smelling blood! A prey that can be dealt with, proves itself, and has a very high bounty is always very popular, no less than a treasure! Danitz suppressed more of his shouts in his heart.

Klein neither agreed nor disagreed, and slowly smiled as he said:

Are you worried that your bounty is too high?

Danitz nodded emphatically, as if the Lunatic Gehrman Sparrow had finally spoken like a human being.

"Besides avoiding it, there's another solution," Klein said as he walked towards the coat rack.

"What?" Danitz asked instinctively.

Klein removed his half-high silk hat, put it on his head, and said:

"Improve your Sequence."

To match skill with reward... He put on his coat, turned the handle, and walked out of the suite.

Upgraded to Sequence 6? Become a " Conspirer "? Danitz paused for two seconds, then suddenly frowned and grinned.

When he consumed the Sequence 9 " Hunter " and Sequence 8 " Provoker " Potion, he didn't feel any major problems. He even began to dream of finding the legendary treasures, obtaining mid-to -High-Sequence recipes and corresponding materials, advancing to Demigod status, and becoming the new king of the seas. However, the intense pain and unpleasant sensations brought by the " Pyromaniac " Potion made him fearful and apprehensive. He couldn't believe that he, who usually strictly followed the captain's orders and constantly provoked his opponents, could almost lose control.

This made Danitz consider whether he could simply accumulate enough wealth to return to Intis and become a millionaire.

He stood there, perplexed for several minutes, until he finally figured out a problem:

Even if I wanted to take Potion to advance in rank, I couldn't do it in a short time, because I would need to collect the recipe and materials, which is no easy task. And the new bounty might be announced tomorrow, or even today!

Therefore, we still need to change hotels and leave Bayam as soon as possible!

After leaving the Ralph Trading Company, Alger seemingly earnestly but actually perfunctorily inquired about information at a few places, and received new intelligence from the Church of Storms around noon:

"It has been confirmed that the person who posted the notice at the church entrance was ' Blazing ' Danitz."

Keep an eye on his movements.

" Blazing " Danitz... Alger held the note in his hand, silently pondering the name. A slight smile crept onto his lips, and he had no more doubts.

He confidently and relaxedly imagined sailing out to sea to hunt for materials, full of anticipation.

Because this will happen at sea, because Mr. The Fool has a new identity:

" Sea God!"

Having missed the morning's Blue Star time, Danitz waited until 4 PM to attempt a " Spirit Summoning Ritual " while Gehrman Sparrow.

He skillfully depicted the emblem of the " God of Knowledge and Wisdom "—an Eye of Omniscience positioned on an open book—and set up the corresponding altar.

Wall of Spirituality, he lit a candle, picked up a hydrosol extracted from lavender and peppermint, and dripped it onto the quietly burning flame.

A refreshing and pleasant fragrance filled the air, and Danitz burned several more kinds of herbal powders.

Having done all this, he took a step back and Ancient Hermes:

I pray for the power of knowledge;

I pray for the power of reason;

I pray for the favor of the god of Wisdom;

"I pray that you will grant me access to the spirit of 'the mentor who seeks knowledge, the researcher of Spirit World beings, the Vice Admiral Iceberg of the sea, Edwina Edwards from Lenburg '."

Ugh!

As the incantation echoed, the altar suddenly became cold and damp. Apart from the three candles, the remaining brass holy dagger, salt dish, hydrosol bottle, paper, and pen all floated up and drifted in mid-air.

Danitz waited with a slight sense of tension, unsure of what would happen next.

After a dozen seconds, the flames of the three candles flickered and turned a pale green!

Danitz's body suddenly stiffened as a chilling, icy coldness forcefully invaded him, leaving him utterly unable to resist.

He saw his feet move forward uncontrollably, taking a step forward.

He saw his left hand rise and grasp the black pen and the faded paper.

He saw himself bending over, pen in his left hand, writing rapidly:

What's the matter?

The words were elegant and flowing, very artistic, quite different from Danitz's own style.

It was only at this point that Danitz discovered he could control the head and the throat.

"Captain, ' Sea God ' Kavithua is dead!" he managed to say in a hoarse voice, as if he had a bad cold.

"Specific details," he wrote fluently with his left hand.

Danitz had been waiting for this opportunity, and immediately recounted the whole story, including Gehrman Sparrow went to Simim Island to fulfill an adventurer's wish, how the adventurer was suspected of being cursed by the " Sea God " but easily resolved after the door was closed, and how the Lunatic made a mistake, mistaking the ancient Elf ruins for the " Sea God's " ruins.

Towards the end, Danitz quickly added his own judgment:

"I don't think ' Admiral of Blood ' will come to Bayam again for a long time, and neither will most well-known pirates."

"It will take at least six months for the impact of this incident to subside."

"Captain, your hunting plans with Gehrman Sparrow may have to be put on hold for now. I... I want to return to the ' Golden Dream '."

His left hand paused for a few seconds before he wrote:

"You will continue to follow Gehrman Sparrow as his liaison."

"Captain, you, you can teach him the ' Spirit Summoning Ritual '!" Danitz shouted hoarsely.

He wrote quickly with his left hand:

"This can only be communicated within a 500-nautical-mile radius, and it carries considerable risk for the person performing the ceremony. You, however, have access to our contact points on different islands, something that cannot be revealed to outsiders."

Indeed... Gehrman Sparrow is an outsider... But, Captain, I really want to go back to the " Golden Dream "! Danitz said, racking his brains.

"Perhaps, we could invite him to the ship as a guest, no, this..."

Suddenly, Danitz had a flash of inspiration:

"Captain, he has a messenger! He has a messenger!"

"A messenger who travels through the Spirit World, delivering messages for him!"

This should be an unrestricted way of communication, and more Concealment and secure! I no longer need to be the contact person! Danitz thought with great delight.

His left hand hovered for several seconds as he wrote:

If that's the case, then there's no problem.

"The New Year holiday is coming to an end, and it's time for you to return to the ship. You have a certain talent for languages, but you still have significant problems in other areas and need to attend more classes and work harder."

Danitz opened his mouth, but said nothing.

He suddenly realized that returning to the " Golden Dream " wasn't something to look forward to too much.

As evening fell, Klein returned to the " Azure Wind " Inn.

His day's efforts didn't yield a suitable Acting, as the previous investigation had resulted in the arrest of many pirates and adventurers with criminal records. The remaining pirates remained cautiously hidden, afraid to venture out. Business was slow in bars, casinos, and brothels, with few customers.

"It's like this." Danitz approached, cleared his throat, and chuckled dryly, "It was my first time using the ' Spirit Summoning Ritual,' so I wasn't very confident, and I tested it beforehand. Haha, it worked! I've spoken with the captain, and she also thinks there's no chance to hunt ' Admiral of Blood ' anytime soon, and she's preparing to recall me to the ' Golden Dream.' As for how to contact her, don't you have a messenger? You can have that messenger deliver a message to the captain."

My messenger was a gift from a powerful figure, not mine... and the messenger can only deliver messages between its owner and the holder, without involving anyone else, well, it could also be between the ritual user and the owner... This reminds me that I need to find a way to get my own messenger, otherwise many things will be inconvenient... As for the method, of course, I'll write to Mr. Azik for advice; he's definitely an expert in this field... Klein slowly pulled up a chair, sat down, leaned forward, and said in a low voice:

"Tell your captain I have a way to find ' Admiral of Blood '."

"Huh?" Danitz was stunned, not expecting such a response.

Then he saw Gehrman Sparrow slowly grin and repeat:

"Tell your captain."

... Danitz shuddered, not daring to ask, and forced a smile:

"We'll have to wait until the next Blue Star hour, which is from 11 PM to midnight tonight."

"Very good," Klein praised with a smile.

Danitz, however, felt no joy whatsoever.

Klein slowly stood up, reminiscing about a special dish he had for dinner that day, as he walked towards the bedroom.

The food is called "Teyativa," which translates to "meat inside fruit" in Loenese. The chef uses a giant local fruit called " Teana," hollows out the flesh, leaving only the hard shell, and then stuffs it with minced mutton and fish. It is then seasoned with sea salt and several spices and repeatedly roasted over a fire. The meat is delicious, has a unique aroma, and blends perfectly with the sweet and slightly sour taste of the fruit.

After closing the door, Klein first wrote a letter thanking Mr. Azik for his previous guidance, and then inquired again about how to have his own personal messenger.

He folded the letter, took out his brass whistle, and summoned the messenger.

The messenger didn't stop; he snatched the letter and it crumbled on the spot.

Huff... Klein rested for a moment, preparing to enter the Gray Fog to see if the believers' prayers could bring him useful information, such as a real persona to Acting.
