Although Gehrman Sparrow didn't show it, " Admiral of Stars " Cattleya seemed to sense his surprise and offered a simple explanation:
"That's a flight that the ' Black Death ' can't catch up with."
As she spoke, she noticed that Gehrman Sparrow had completely changed his attire compared to yesterday: a crew neck shirt, brown jacket, wide-leg pants, and a dark baseball cap, making him look less like an adventurer and more like a native of Bayam, the " City of Generosity."
According to Nina, his clothes got soaked by the huge waves last night... He only had one decent set of clothes? Cattleya thought for a moment and found the reason.
She wasn't surprised by this; in fact, she thought it was in line with Gehrman Sparrow. He only prepared one set of clothes, spending the rest of his money on magical items, extraordinary weapons, and Spirituality charms, all with the premise of improving his own strength.
"No wonder the ' King of Immortality ' gave up later; he only attacked passing ships casually, and didn't have enough hatred to drive him to pursue them... Well, even seasoned pirate generals still have a chance to escape from the ' Four Kings '..."
"Almost there... Ugh, I haven't even fully digested it yet..."
"However, it seems that Acting the crazy adventurer Gehrman Sparrow. The crew of the ' Future ' gave a very positive and enthusiastic response. In another two or three days, they should be able to fully digest it. And even if we enter dangerous waters, finding mermaids is not so easy. There's still time..." Klein nodded, suppressing the urge to ask questions, and prepared to walk past the Admiral of Stars to the fixed long table to get his breakfast.
Just then, he saw a pirate rush in carrying a large, wriggling blue fish, heading straight for a corner.
Sitting in that seat Heath Doyle Future, whose face was so pale it was almost translucent and whose nose was disproportionately high.
Snap!
The nearly one-meter-long sea fish was placed in front of this " Bloodless ".
Heath Doyle stretched out his hands, pressed down on the large fish, bent his body little by little, lowered his head inch by inch, and pressed his face against the scales, as if kissing them.
Suddenly, the fish froze, then melted rapidly like a candle in a flame, turning into a disgusting mass of flesh and blood.
The flesh and blood, like liquid, poured into Heath Doyle's mouth and covered his skin.
Amidst the unsettling writhing, the giant fish vanished completely, bones and flesh included, leaving no trace Heath Doyle's face became impeccably clean, except for his lips, which suddenly turned a vibrant red, like a blooming rose.
The Rose Bishop... The name of this Sequence immediately popped into Klein's mind.
Standing next to him, Cattleya also witnessed this scene, and pushed up her glasses, saying:
"Every Rose Bishop needs to replenish their flesh and blood to fully unleash their extraordinary abilities, and to be less likely to lose control after being injured in the heat of battle."
A slight smile played on her lips as she added:
"It's just that the Lunatic of the ' Aurora Order ' prefer human flesh and blood; other things can actually be used as substitutes."
It seems this " Bloodless " with a bounty of 7,600 pounds is indeed very lucky. One reason is that he reached Sequence 6 instantly without any mutation or abnormality, and another is that he joined the " Admiral of Stars " pirate crew. If it weren't for the various Concealment knowledge possessed by this lady who is pursued by knowledge, even if he didn't actively listen to the voice of the " True Creator," he would have eventually become a " Monster " due to his thirst for human flesh and blood... Klein sighed inwardly.
He increasingly felt that the " Mystery Pryer " path, also known as the " Shepherd " path, was the extraordinary path most prone to losing control and going mad, without exception, even the " Abyss " path, which represented blatant malice, was slightly inferior.
Klein withdrew his gaze and was about to take a step when the entire ship suddenly heaved violently.
In an instant, the scene in front of the " Future " naturally appeared in Klein's mind:
The azure sea is cut off here by a huge crevice, and the endless seawater plunges vertically into the bottomless darkness like a waterfall!
The scene was so magnificent and magical that it made one wonder if they were actually on a planet.
Whoosh!
Unable to stop, the " Future " hurtled off the edge and plummeted rapidly.
Bang bang bang!
The pirates inside the restaurant were all sent flying, crashing into the ceiling above. Toast, white bread, butter, cream, beer, and pan-fried fish were also scattered and flew around in a chaotic flurry, unable to fall back down.
Klein also lost his balance and uncontrollably hurtled straight toward the ceiling.
He promptly extended his palm, pressed it upwards, and swiftly adjusted his posture as if performing an acrobatic act, making himself look completely unremarkable.
Not far away, Nina displayed amazing balance, using the ceiling to maintain her posture. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she stretched out her legs and kicked Frank, sending the " Toxin Expert " flying diagonally into the barrel, where he was drenched in the pale yellow liquid.
At this moment, the most relaxed and comfortable person was " Admiral of Stars " Cattleya. Starlight surrounded her, and dazzling light formed beneath her feet. She floated in mid-air, completely unaffected by the sudden fall.
Besides her, the least disheveled was Heath, the " Bloodless." This " Rose Bishop " had somehow blended into the shadows and disappeared.
Just as the " Future " was about to plunge completely into the bottomless, dark crevice, seawater suddenly surged upwards like a fountain!
It caught the ship, tossed it high into the air, and threw it to the other side of the cross-section.
After a light, floating sensation, Klein believed that the " Future " had landed steadily on the sea, rendering the " Sea God " domain runes he was holding in his right hand useless.
At this moment, the sunlight outside the window became bright and blazing, making the restaurant look extremely messy.
Having already regained his balance, Klein strode to the window and saw that the boundless ocean outside seemed to be burning with golden flames, as if it were always at midday.
And it was still early morning just now!
Klein raised his head, squinted, and saw that the sky was filled with direct sunlight, there were no clouds, and the Sun was nowhere to be seen, all in a golden hue.
No wonder the Magic Mirror Arrodes described this place as an unreal ocean, a remnant of the war between the gods.
As his gaze swept across the area, he noticed a pile of ruins not far to his left.
Most of the ruins were submerged by seawater. What extended beyond the surface were stacked gray stones and pillars forming peaks, with a dome-like structure at the top that created a considerable space by its curvature.
The ruins must have been enormous to begin with; through the clear seawater, Klein could see that they stretched endlessly down to the seabed.
"This is a very dangerous ocean. Admiral of Stars Cattleya has appeared beside us at some point."
Klein tilted his head slightly to look over, waiting for the " The Hermit " lady to continue her story.
Cattleya gazed ahead and said with a touch of wistfulness:
"I haven't been here often, and it was all a long time ago."
"I," not "we"... which means, he didn't come with the " Future... but was still under the " Mystery Queen's " command? Klein keenly noticed the issue with the term " Admiral of Stars " and had a vague idea.
Cattleya didn't turn her head, gazing at the sky and sea covered in golden flames:
No one knows where the sea ends, nor how wide it is.
Do you know what's the most dangerous thing here?
... If only I had let Arrodes explain in more detail back then... Klein shook his head frankly.
Because he was almost caught by the Demigod under the command of the " True Creator " and only managed to get away with it by using the " Die of Probability," he hasn't dared to take the radio receiver to the real world for the past two months, fearing that the " True Creator," who is closely monitoring this area, would notice. As a result, he hasn't had a chance to contact the " Magic Mirror " Arrodes.
His original plan was to approach this dangerous sea area and consult " Snake of Fate " Will Auceptin. However, an unexpected incident occurred, and he encountered " King of Immortality " Agarito. " Future " arrived at its destination without giving him any buffer time.
Cattleya's deep black and purple eyes, hidden behind thick glasses, seemed to daze for a moment before she said:
"This place Levitation with many ruins and remnants, and various mutated Monster, including many out-of-control Demigod and ancient evil creatures."
"This isn't the most dangerous part. If it were only these, this ocean would become a hunting ground for the seven churches, a treasure trove for them to harvest High-Sequence materials or items. Of course, there are many Monster here, many out-of-control evil entities, which may not be real. They can truly kill us, but they leave nothing behind after being killed."
Upon hearing this, Klein immediately thought of " The Dragon of Imagination " Ankewelt.
This King of Dragons's every wish will come true!
Could this ocean be the battlefield of the ancient gods of the Second Age? Klein almost frowned.
" Admiral of Stars," Cattleya continued, her voice slightly unsteady:
"Here, you can never guess what dangers you will encounter next. Perhaps you will melt and become a candle-like Monster just by getting close to a ruin, or you will turn into stone and be smashed to pieces in Storm just by deviating from the explored route."
"For Beyonder like us, this is the greatest danger."
Klein tilted his head slightly and asked sharply in return:
"What about those Beyonder who surpass our level?"
Cattleya sighed and smiled:
This sea area is filled with sounds that shouldn't be heard.
"The higher the Sequence, the easier it is to hear, so most of the Demigod who dared to explore this place went wrong—either went mad or lost control, and are forever lost here."
No wonder the seven major churches didn't send powerful figures here to reap the rewards... Most of them ran into trouble... which means that a small number of Demigod can survive here? Klein suddenly realized and looked out the window again.
By this time, the distance between the " Future " and the ruins had been reduced considerably.
Suddenly, everyone heard a loud and clear gasp at the same time!
