"I am the first mate of a ship..." Leonard repeated what he had just said.
"First mate?" "Living Corpse" sneered:
"I'm not interested in your stuff. I'm not a pirate."
"Ah?" Leonard said "Ah", with a clear confusion in his eyes: "I am not a pirate, we are adventurers on the sea..."
"They're almost the same." "Living Corpse" said again a little irritably: "What's the difference between you adventurers chasing money and pirates?"
I don't know why, but his tone sounded a little unhappy.
"..." Leonard couldn't help but froze when he heard the words of the "living corpse" in front of him. Fortunately, the "living corpse" didn't say much. He just said calmly to Leonard beside him:
"I don't care about your identity, but you need to let me see your captain - I admit, I do need you 'navigators' now, but I hope to have a direct conversation with your captain."
"Living Corpse" seemed to have thought of something, and his tone became more restrained.
"...Okay." After a brief daze, Leonard quickly reacted and said to the "living corpse" beside him:
"I will talk to our captain. If I want to see you later, where should I find you? What will your name be?"
"I'm here and I won't leave." "Living Corpse" chuckled:
"When the time comes, just tell the bartender here to ask for Maric."
Leonard nodded and walked outside. However, in the following bars, the Extraordinaries he saw were either too weak or had ill intentions toward him. Therefore, he found nothing and could only stand where he left before and wait for Klein's return.
Time passed quickly, and soon the sun was approaching sunset. Klein rushed back after a long journey. He searched the city according to the Aurora Society's code, but found nothing.
It seems that there are only some ordinary members left here, and there are no "sailors" or other extraordinary people. Klein asked, and it seemed that a certain saint had summoned everyone away.
"How's it going? Klein. Have you found the sailor you need?" Seeing Klein coming back alone, Leonard felt a little more at ease. After all, after experiencing several events where the True Creator descended from God, he had a serious prejudice against the followers of the True Creator, so much so that he did not want to have too much contact with the followers of the True Creator.
"No, most of the Aurora Society members here are just ordinary people, and there are very few extraordinary ones among them." Klein shook his head gently: "But I can try to contact my friend later to see if he can Help me find some sailors to assist us in our voyage. Speaking of which, haven’t you found any helpers either?”
"I actually found one - a Sequence Six Beyonder, a 'living corpse' of the 'alien' path." Leonard said decisively to Klein in front of him: "It's just that he suffered a serious injury. He is injured and is being hunted by the Rose School of Thought."
"He is unwilling to explain what kind of difficulties he has encountered. He insists on seeing you first before explaining - he seems to have something to hide." Leonard nodded and said to Klein in front of him:
"I don't think he meant any harm."
This was the answer obtained with the help of Pales Zoroaster.
"Okay." Klein took out a pendulum from his pocket and was about to do divination. But he suddenly remembered that due to the existence of the Mother Tree of Desire, his divination for the Rose School of Thought might involve high-sequence experts and be blocked. He nodded inconspicuously:
"I'm going to the bathroom and I'll come with you later."
"Okay." Leonard nodded and waited for Klein's return.
While waiting, he couldn't help but think: It feels like Klein goes to the bathroom a lot more often...
Could it be that the pollution from the true Creator has left behind some root cause of disease...
Klein naturally didn't know Leonard's exclamation. If he knew, he would definitely have the idea of turning Leonard into a marionette using "creeping hunger".
Klein held the pendulum and walked four steps backwards in the bathroom, successfully entering above the gray mist. He sat on his throne, looking down at the everlasting gray fog below, and silently recited the contents of the divination in his heart.
What Klein needs to divine now is whether the "living corpse" Maric that Leonard met in the tavern is a threat to them!
He opened his eyes and saw the pendulum spinning slowly. This represents a certain threat, but it is far from fatal.
Then he divined whether Maric had any ill intentions toward him, and got a negative result.
Klein lightly tapped the armrest beside his hand, closed his eyes, and thought silently.
From this point of view, if we take him with us, the biggest danger may come from the old "Mother Tree of Desire." However, judging from what Lao Gao said to me before, the "Mother Tree of Desire" did not successfully enter the barrier. The one who currently shows support for me is the "Fallen Mother Goddess".
And the "Fallen Mother Goddess" and the "Mother Tree of Desire" are suspected to be mortal enemies...
While Klein was thinking for a moment, he noticed that a crimson star next to him suddenly flickered. He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the red star, and saw a familiar figure.
Gaowei...Klein paused for a moment, then stretched out his hand to lift Gaowei above the gray mist.
The moment he arrived at Source Castle, Gao Wei felt that he was connected to Source Castle with the extraordinary characteristics of the three sequences contained in Mr. Men's original body and the uniqueness of the door's path.
Before Klein noticed it, he cut off the connection as if nothing had happened and turned to look at Klein in front of him.
"Happy New Year." Gao Wei nodded and said to Klein in front of him: "New Year will be in two days. How are you doing recently?"
"It's not bad. I'm preparing to chase the Superstar Lord and your footsteps to the sea. This is a mission issued by the church." Klein said to Gao Wei in front of him:
"And you?"
"Me?" Gao Wei smiled: "I have been with a few friends recently, ah, at sea. Maybe we can meet again. I am planning to go to the Southern Continent to help the True Creator continue to develop his followers. .”
"Then we might be able to meet in person soon." Klein nodded slightly: "Ince Zangwill is suspected of fleeing to the Southern Continent. We should go there to look for clues later."
"We can contact each other through the gray mist. I haven't found a new spirit world creature willing to be my messenger yet. It's a pity." Gao Wei looked at Klein in front of him with a usual smile on his face:
"I prepared New Year's Eve dinner for you. Although I am busy, I still have to eat."
"...Thank you." Klein was silent for a long time and said to Gao Wei in front of him: "I am indeed very busy right now..."
"Aren't friends useful at this time?" Gao Wei said with a casual smile: "Have a good rest, we will definitely meet again later. Benson and Melissa have been placed with the true creator by me. It’s safer to have the True Creator protecting them than outside.”
"I hope we can live a stable life." With a smile on his face, Klein nodded distantly to Gao Wei. Gao Wei also showed a smile on his face and smiled at Klein:
"I prepared a red envelope for you... bah, New Year's gift."
"What gift?" After hearing the familiar words in a foreign country, Klein said to Gao Wei in front of him with great interest, and couldn't help but feel a little expectant in his heart.
At this moment, he suddenly had the feeling that he had never traveled through time, but was still at home celebrating the New Year with friends.
"I'm going to give you a ship." Gao Wei said with a slight smile on his face: "A ship made with extraordinary characteristics, a real ghost ship. Of course, these extraordinary characteristics are provided by the real creator, so This can be considered a gift from him to you."
"Sent to me by the True Creator?" A smile appeared on Klein's face: "Then you must have prepared other surprises for me."
Klein made up his mind to prepare a gift for Gao Wei. He knew Gao Wei. If a gift was not prepared by him alone, then he must have prepared other surprises.
"Of course - I specially used a part of the mystic's characteristics and a part of other demigod characteristics to make a special door on that ship. It has no special function, it just provides a stable connection. A few fixed coordinates." Gao Wei said with a smile on his face:
"I will use a sacrificial ceremony to give this ship to you later. Let me tell you a secret. On the night before the New Year, you must find that door. The surprise is hidden behind the door."
"Then I'm looking forward to it." Klein couldn't help but guess, and a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.
After some pleasantries, Klein looked at Gao Wei next to him, his posture was slightly more upright, and he was about to start talking about business:
"Lao Gao, I want to ask you something."
"Say it." Gao Wei nodded slightly and made a listening gesture. His incarnation has gone through the stage of being a listener and is something of a pro at that.
"When I was in the catastrophe in Backlund, the Fallen Mother Goddess saved my life - although I was still killed by Panatia in the end."
"He mentioned to me at that time that you said that I inherited the 'Origin Castle'. In what capacity did you negotiate with the Mother Goddess? I don't believe that He would give up his original position just because of your few words. Thus favoring me and favoring humanity.”
Klein remembers the words "You can believe in the power of the gods, but do not believe in their kindness" very vividly. Without matching power, it would be impossible for Gao Wei to reach an agreement with the fallen Mother Goddess of the past.
"You are doubting me, but you are right to doubt me." Gao Wei nodded, looking at Klein as if he was seeing a child who was promising:
"The sefirot I inherited is adjacent to the path where the 'Hidden Sage' is located. I have told you before that my mastery of the sefirot is deeper than yours."
"The current state of the Fallen Mother Goddess is not complete. Once I have mastered the Sefirot, I have the basis for negotiating with Him. I told you before that the old days were generally called Sefirot incarnations. You can judge from these names alone. How important is the source of matter to extraordinary people."
"Okay." Klein couldn't help but sigh: "The last Extraordinary person who mastered Source Castle - or should we say that the last incarnation of Source Castle was Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun?"
"It can be said that Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun's popularity is not good, eh, his popularity with gods?" Gao Wei told Klein in front of him:
"So I promised some of the outer gods that you can use your own humanity to overcome Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun's own bad character. The fallen mother goddess belongs to the old days who agree with my position. I feel that if I give you a gift now, no matter what happens in the future It won’t be worse than Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun’s resurrection.”
"What's more, I used my source of essence to bring the Fallen Mother Goddess into the earth - while maintaining a relatively weak strength. In this way, the Fallen Mother Goddess will think that I am the real old one. You can also use this method to intimidate some opponents."
"I see. The gods who chose to help me on Earth should also have this idea, including the True Creator and the Goddess of Night..." Klein sighed: "In other words, if I know more about Origin Castle, With more control, I can also talk to them..."
What Klein was thinking was that if he and Lao Gao could really reconcile the conflict between the earth and the outer gods, then maybe so many tragedies wouldn't happen here because of the crazy extraordinary.
It is obvious that the previous large number of deaths of Backlund had a serious impact on Klein.
"You should talk to the demigods first." A smile appeared on Gao Wei's face: "But, Klein, I have a piece of advice for you."
"What?" Klein asked Gao Wei in front of him.
"Never master power that does not belong to you in advance. The higher the sequence, the greater the possibility of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun's resurrection. But if you don't improve the sequence, you will not be able to master the Origin Castle."
"Between the two, you have to learn how to master the balance. The extraordinary item I gave you before has actually helped you steal the power of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun to a large extent in advance."
That's it... Klein nodded slightly, and some thoughts couldn't help but come up in his mind.
The gods on earth use believers as "anchors" to maintain their humanity, so can I also use my identity as a fool to create a large number of anchors for myself?
If a large number of believers believe that Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun is an incarnation of the hidden existence "Zhou Mingrui"...can they shake the will of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun and provide him with some help?
However, in such a world, Chinese names sound a bit "mysterious"... Thinking of this, Klein couldn't help but laugh. While he was recalling what gods were similar to the "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" before time travel, he and Gao Wei chatted with each other.
Calculating that Leonard was almost impatient, Klein also left above the gray mist while thinking goodbye to Gao Dimensional in front of him.
