On Saturday morning, Klein, still in his pajamas, rubbed his head and got out of bed.
He didn't sleep well last night because he kept having mixed dreams with different female figures, which startled him awake. He had to spend several minutes calming down before he could fall back asleep.
Fortunately, the weakness only lasts for 6 hours, and he doesn't have to go out at night or face the maid... Klein sighed and pulled the rope by the bed. Richardson, who was standing outside the door, immediately came in with the clothes his employer needed to wear that day.
I don't know what Arrodes said, but Richardson became increasingly evasive when facing me... He was told his preferred type of woman, which contradicts social customs? When Klein rushed back, he only had time to hear the " Magic Mirror's " words, which seemed to describe him but actually accurately struck a chord with the butler Walter, and he was unaware of what had happened before.
He did not use " Dream Divination " to obtain relevant information afterward, because he felt it was unnecessary. In any case, given Richardson's personality, no matter who he liked, he wouldn't have the courage to act on it, so it wouldn't cause any additional impact.
After changing his clothes, Klein went down to the second floor and headed towards the restaurant. Walter, as usual, was wearing white gloves and waiting at the door.
Seeing Dawn Dantès approaching, he stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying:
"Good morning, sir. You have two tutoring lessons today, and tonight you're attending a dinner party at Mr. Portland Moment."
Portland Moment lives at 100 Böklund Street. He is a full professor in the Department of Engineering at Backlund University and an academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Kingdom of Loen. He received the " Light of Machinery " award for discovering several alloy materials and is among the most outstanding scientists Turan von Hermosuin.
Moreover, his alloy materials were widely used in shipbuilding and Steam development, and the patent revenue alone made him a millionaire worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Upon hearing Walter's words, Klein glanced at the butler casually and noticed that the butler had dark circles under his eyes and puffy eye bags, quite unlike his usual appearance, suggesting that he hadn't slept well all night.
Without the " Faceless's" abilities, Dawn Dantès would probably look like this too... Klein sympathetically withdrew his gaze, said nothing more, nodded slightly in response to the butler Walter's greeting, and entered the dining room.
To be honest, he actually admired her quite a bit. Often when faced with a Witch, he couldn't help but have some fantasies, and in the dead of night, he would have a sensual dream that included his target, unable to control his desire to get closer and seek Pleasure.
It's important to understand that a Witch, especially Witch who is currently experiencing or has already experienced the " Pleasure " stage, possesses a seductive power over males that far surpasses the level of simple extraordinary effects. The charm in every move she makes will cause men who approach her to gradually become intoxicated and infatuated, much like progressing from marijuana use to a more advanced stage, until they are completely unable to escape the " Pleasure " given by the Witch. This is something that only men who are naturally attracted to the same sex can effectively resist.
Of course, Klein suspected that men who are attracted to the same sex are not entirely immune, because both their mental and hormonal aspects would be affected, resulting in changes that would not have occurred otherwise. Moreover, a large proportion of Witch were originally men, which would reduce their resistance.
That's why, even though he's already Sequence 5 Beyonder, Klein still has to stay on high alert when facing Witch like Trissy and Tracy, for fear of being bewitched if he's not careful.
If he's like this, then let alone Walter, the butler, who's just an ordinary person. This isn't a problem that can be changed by one's own will!
Although Trissy had clearly toned down her allure due to Prince Edessak's death or her own promotion, Walter was just an ordinary person—well, even if he wasn't, he was at most Sequence 9 or Sequence 8... The fact that he could maintain his current state under these circumstances was enough to show that he had extremely strong self-control, was very loyal to Prince Edessak, and loved his wife and daughter very much... Klein sighed as he sat down. Today's breakfast was his favorite Desi pie, and the oily look of it made his mouth water.
The sea at night is a deep blue, almost black, tinged with a faint crimson, and it has a more serene and tranquil feel than during the day.
The " Blue Avenger " rose and fell gently with the waves, like a ghostly shadow, sailing towards the location of the red moon.
Alger Wilson stood at the bow of the ship, gazing at the distant waves, outwardly calm but inwardly filled with barely suppressed excitement.
That sea area ahead is the " Abyss Maelstrom " directly north of Sonia Island!
It gets its name from the dangerous whirlpools that often appear without warning, making it a dangerous area that no ship wants to enter.
After completing his report and leaving Passo Island, Alger commanded the " Blue Avenger " to head north, bypassing Sonia Island, and heading straight for here.
During the journey, they only stopped at port once for supplies, wasting no time.
As for whether coming to the north would arouse suspicion, Alger was not worried, because the Church of Storms was happy to see its "captains" go to the north of the Sonia Sea and the Sonia Sea to obtain intelligence on the Feynapotter Empire, the Kingdom of Intis, the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, and the Church of the Church of the God of Combat.
Looking back at the cabin, Alger walked to the edge of the deck, took out a talisman made of white tin, held it in his palm, and chanted the incantation:
" Storm!"
A bluish-green flame suddenly erupted, engulfing the rune. Alger suddenly felt a strange connection between himself and the fish in the ocean below.
At this moment, the two were even able to communicate on a spiritual level!
The white tin talisman was one of the supplies Alger obtained on Passo Island. It allowed him to gain the favor of sea creatures for a certain period of time and to engage in rudimentary spiritual communication with them.
With his thoughts in turmoil, Alger failed to obtain the information he sought and could only wait until the " Blue Avenger " was closer to the " Abyss Maelstrom " before making a second attempt.
Time ticked by, and after nearly a hundred failures, Alger finally learned from a spindle-shaped fish about the most frequented location of the Obninsk Sea Monster.
"If I hadn't known beforehand that the target was near the ' Abyss Maelstrom,' I definitely would have given up long ago. It's very difficult to obtain this kind of intelligence through investigation..." Alger concluded, patting his pockets.
He had almost used up all the marine life affinity charms, with only five left.
We need to replenish our supplies when we get back, but we can't let anyone find out... I heard there are quite a few rebels in the Rorsted Archipelago, hehe... As Alger thought this, he turned the " Blue Avenger " around and headed towards the location he had just learned about.
More than an hour later, the " Blue Avenger " came to a stop, and Alger then took out a sealed metal can.
This was another Sanguine Anesthetic Gas he had bought from " The Moon " for 130 pounds. He had no doubt about its effectiveness, as he had already used a canister before.
Since the " Blue Avenger " is a ghost ship, not many people are needed to keep watch at night; only one person is needed each night to watch the ship and prevent it from deliberately causing problems or sailing into dangerous waters.
As captain, Alger was able to arrange his shift for the night without leaving a trace.
Having made all the necessary preparations, he arrived outside the Sailor ' quarters, pulled out a metal tube, opened the sealed container, and released it room by room, not even sparing the warehouse where miscellaneous items were stored, to prevent any crew members from staying up late and hiding to play cards.
Having done all this, Alger, without rushing to concoct the Potion, took the materials, changed into an underwater suit made of sharkskin, and jumped off the right side of the ship, making no splash.
In the dim, dark water, Alger's eyes gradually turned deep blue, allowing him to see his surroundings clearly.
He breathed in the underwater air with ease, and continued to descend until he reached a pitch-black deep sea.
Then, he used the sea creature affinity spell again to communicate with the strange-looking fish around him.
Guided by the kind fish, Alger discerned directions, swimming and asking questions along the way, and finally arrived at a place that resembled an underwater volcano.
The fish creatures didn't actually know that the Obninsk Sea Monster lived here; they only knew that many of their kind and some of the top deep-sea hunters had disappeared nearby.
Using his extraordinary abilities, Alger looked into the distance and saw a huge, dark cave on the underwater volcano. Tentacles, thicker than pythons in the primeval jungles of the Southern Continent, floated out from it and swayed gently.
The enormous suction cups, the patterned skin, and the cave several times larger than the " Blue Avenger " filled Alger with inexplicable fear, making him dare not approach.
An Obninsk Sea Monster is at least equivalent to a powerful Sequence 5... and has a terrifying body... Hmm, this is definitely the target... Alger cautiously swam over, stopping at a safe distance, and after careful identification, used the Sea Creature Affinity Charm once again.
Then, he allowed his Spirituality to penetrate the seawater and spread into the cave, attempting to communicate with the powerful spirit that was withdrawn and curled up.
The massive mass of spirit slowly unfurled, and countless chaotic thoughts burst forth.
It paused for a moment, then its spirit erupted like a volcano!
"Roar!"
Amidst the terrifying sound, an exaggerated whirlpool appeared inside the cave, instantly sucking in the surrounding seawater, debris, and Alger.
Full of hostility! Alger's eyes narrowed, and his body suddenly became slippery, propelled by an invisible wind, fleeing in the opposite direction.
He used several extraordinary abilities to finally break free from the vortex's influence. No longer daring to linger near the underwater volcano, he quickly surfaced and created distance.
Several tens of seconds later, Alger, having finally escaped the danger zone, exhaled bubbles and breathed a sigh of relief.
"That Obninsk was actually able to resist the effects of the sea creature affinity spell..."
"Does it hate anything that has a master's presence?"
After a brief moment of contemplation, seeing that things had come to this point, and not wanting to waste the opportunity, Alger made up his mind and prayed in Elvish in the sea:
" The Fool That Doesn't Belong to This Era..."
