When he put down the bronze whistle, Klein had already activated his Spirit Vision.

He saw the illusory white bones on the ground being thrown weakly upwards, slowly forming a huge body. If the previous similar scene was like a fantasy version of a fountain, then this was just an ordinary faucet turned upside down.

Klein's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, pretending he hadn't noticed anything amiss.

After several seconds, the skeletal messenger was finally pieced together, its nearly four-meter-tall body once again piercing through the ceiling, the black flames in its eye sockets burning silently.

Klein neatly folded the letter he had written and tossed it upwards.

In his letter, he described in detail the relationship between the wealthy businessman Jimmy Necker, the Death documents unearthed in the mausoleum of the Balam Empire in the Southern Continent, " Admiral Hurricane " Qilangos and " Vice Admiral Ailment " Tracy, and mentioned that he had completed an infiltration, although the assassination failed, but he left behind a tool that could be used to determine the location of the Black Death.

Of course, he didn't elaborate on how he infiltrated, only roughly recounting the fighting techniques and style of " Vice Admiral Ailment " Tracy.

Once the messenger was able to slap away an adult human hand and catch the letter, Klein coughed, cleared his throat, and said:

"I already have my own messenger."

The black flames within the skeletal messenger's eye sockets flickered twice, and its body suddenly disintegrated, cascading down like a waterfall and disappearing into the wooden floor.

Now you don't have to be afraid of becoming my messengers, right? Am I that annoying to you? Hmm... it's probably because these messengers from the Underworld can't bear to part with Mr. Azik. After all, he's a direct descendant of the Death Reaper, maybe even from the same generation. They're clinging to his coattails, I get it! Klein was about to pack up to check out when his nose suddenly itched, and he sneezed.

Achoo! Achoo! Cough cough cough!

He had a runny nose and was coughing, and his forehead slowly but firmly became burning hot.

Oh no, the " Vice Admiral Ailment " disease still lingers in my body, and I rushed back to Bayam in the cold wind of about 10 degrees Celsius. Now I'm really sick... Klein blew his nose with cheap toilet paper, wondering if he should summon himself and move in a spirit form to let his physical body heal itself.

After careful consideration, he concluded that this was not feasible. First, physical condition would significantly affect spiritual condition, and there was a close and strange connection between the two. Second, if left unattended, physical condition would inevitably deteriorate.

He's a bit delirious from the fever... Klein touched his forehead, deciding to first return to the " Azure Wind " Inn to meet up with Danitz, and then consider whether to go to the hospital or clinic to buy some medicine.

City of Silver, the Berg family.

Derrick finally obtained the Radiant Spirit Pact Tree fruit promised by the " The Hermit " lady and concocted the " The Sun High Priest " Potion.

It was golden in color and scalding hot; when Derrick took a sip, his throat felt like it was being burned.

His eyes suddenly lit up, growing brighter and brighter, as if two miniature the Sun were hidden within them.

His body radiated rings of clear light, and visible black patches stood out on his exposed skin.

At the same time, his body hair grew longer, seemingly transforming into feathers wrapped in golden flames.

When Derrick learned that taking the Potion would produce similar changes when he was in Sequence 7, he showed no fear or panic. He gritted his teeth and repeatedly recalled the pain of killing his parents with his own hands and the hope that welled up from the depths of his heart after meeting Mr. The Fool. He persevered in that situation that was on the verge of spiraling out of control.

After a while, all his abnormalities subsided, though his breath still carried the warmth of the Sun.

He felt that his physical condition had improved, and he had gained considerable resistance to disease and harsh environments.

But that wasn't the point; Derrick preferred the knowledge of quasi-divine arts that filled his mind.

These include " Light of Holiness ", " Immunity to Fear ", " Sacred Oath ", " Purifying Slash ", " The Sun Halo ", " Summon Holy Light ", " Create Holy Water ", and so on.

Derrick paced back and forth with delight, feeling that these godlike spells were truly suitable for dealing with the evil Monster lurking in the depths of darkness.

He made no attempt to conceal it, heading straight to the Twin Towers to register his promotion.

After the initial review, he was qualified to serve as the patrol squad leader and would have access to more information about City of Silver.

This includes the method that "The World" wants to remove the mental pollution within Beyonder Characteristic... As Derrick answered various questions from the registration staff, he couldn't help but think of the promise he had been unable to fulfill.

He always felt uneasy and uncomfortable about owing things to others, but now he finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

Inside the Fragrant Leaf Bar, " The Sweet-Talker " King Mithor, holding a glass of red wine, sat down opposite the old man " The Strongman " Oz Kent, crossed his right leg, and slowly asked:

Have you found out the specifics?

He accepted Captain " Vice Admiral Ailment " Tracy's arrangement to return to Bayam and investigate the issue of the fake Elaine. To do so, he sought out Oz Kent, who had given him the mission. He couldn't directly question the rebels, as there was a significant chance they were in cahoots with the fake Elaine. Going there to confront them would be no different than going to the governor's mansion and exchanging his own head for the bounty.

Oz Kent pulled up a chair and sat down:

"They're not hiding anything over there, but I'm not sure if they're telling the truth or Lies. You know, I prefer fists to thinking."

"They said that Elaine was sent by ' Blazing ' Danitz, who represented the will of ' Vice Admiral Iceberg ' and hoped to establish a cooperative relationship with the resistance and provide them with some assistance, while Elaine was expressing goodwill."

"' Blazing ' Danitz? ' Vice Admiral Iceberg '..." Mithor chewed on these two names, his expression slowly turning serious.

He leaned back in his chair, his brow furrowing slightly.

As the former captain of " Admiral Hurricane " and now the third mate of the flagship " Vice Admiral Ailment," he was no stranger to the other pirate generals. He knew that " Vice Admiral Iceberg " was powerful and had a rich collection. With just one ship and a small number of men, he was able to fight against other pirate generals. In terms of pure combat power, he might be stronger than his two predecessors. However, the problem was that " Vice Admiral Iceberg " rarely got involved in pirate battles. He was known for collecting information, exploring the unknown, and searching for treasures. He was more like an adventurer than a pirate.

Why would she suddenly want to assassinate the captain? This isn't like her... She was previously harmed by " Admiral of Blood " with rumors, and should be focused on taking revenge... Mithor took a sip of red wine and raised her other hand to rub her forehead.

He temporarily stopped thinking about " Vice Admiral Iceberg " and turned his attention back to " Blazing " Danitz.

As he carefully recalled the events, his pupils suddenly contracted, realizing that the fourth Sailor of the familiar " Golden Dream " had indeed been having some problems lately.

"He set a trap, killing 'Iron' Maviti, ' Blood Brambles ' Huntley, and Calm Squall, raising the bounty to 4,200 pounds. Then, in a very short time, he got involved in some unknown incident, and the bounty jumped again to 5,500 pounds, which is more than mine..." Mithor muttered to himself, the image of " Blazing " Danitz involuntarily appearing before his eyes, feeling that the other party had become both mysterious and terrifying.

"Did he get promoted? Or did he gain a great advantage from something?" Mithor shifted his waist, leaned forward, and put down his wine glass.

He whispered solemnly:

"I initially took his increased bounty as a joke."

"The facts now tell me that ' Blazing ' Danitz is a pirate worthy of a 5,500-pound bounty!"

Mithor suddenly looked up and said to " The Strongman " Oz Kent:

"Gather intelligence on ' Blazing ' for me, the latest information!"

Inside a luxury suite at the " Azure Wind " Hotel.

When Danitz Door Opening and saw that it was Gehrman Sparrow, he quickly glanced left and right warily before making way for him.

"How was it? Was the hunt successful?" he asked, both curious and excited, after the door closed.

"The ' Vice Admiral Ailment ' is a famous beauty. When I saw her before, she was even more charming than I imagined. It would be a waste if she died like this. She should be locked up, imprisoned forever, life imprisonment... Bah, can she be as beautiful as the captain? There are plenty of women like her in the Red Theater! "Danitz thought with a lot of contradictions.

Klein clenched his fist, pressed it to his mouth, and coughed violently twice.

"Almost." He replied coldly after calming down.

"What a pity..." Danitz sighed casually.

What he was thinking was:

Gehrman Sparrow, that Lunatic, is really strong!

The assassination attempt on " Vice Admiral Ailment " on the Black Death was so close to success, and even if it had failed, he would have returned unscathed with almost no injury!

It's important to understand that the reason each pirate general is renowned throughout the Five Seas, second only to the Four Kings, is not only because they are strong themselves, but also because they represent a team or a force, with numerous Beyonder under their command Gehrman Sparrow was able to escape the Black Death after the assassination attempt is enough to prove that he is no less capable than any of the pirate generals!

"Is ' Creeping Hunger ' really that powerful? No, even if I had ' Creeping Hunger,' I couldn't do anything like that..." Danitz felt more and more that his decision not to resist when facing Gehrman Sparrow was incredibly wise.

Klein coughed twice more, preparing to instruct Danitz to go to the hospital to buy him some medicine.

He immediately realized that the origin of his illness was somewhat complicated, and that without a thorough examination by the Doctor, the prescribed medication might not be effective, even if Emperor Roselle had invented many useful drugs beforehand.

If it weren't for the inability to establish a remote medical system using the Gray Fog, I would have asked Emlyn White to examine me and get me some medicine... Klein went to the bathroom to wash himself, changed back into his original clothes, and burned the portion from the fisherman.

Seeing him come out, Danitz, holding a paper bag, went to greet him with a fawning smile:

"This is the 700-pound bounty I've received."

Just then, he and Klein heard a knock at the door. The visitor was Captain Elland.

The captain slipped into the room, gave Gehrman Sparrow a deep look, and lowered his voice:

"I was about to return to Pritz Harbor, but then I received another message."

"It seems something big has happened in Bansy Harbor."
