"We can go see him." Klein walked out of the bathroom, arranged his clothes, and said to Leonard Mitchell in front of him.
"Shall we go there now?"
"Okay." Leonard nodded, but suddenly he heard an old voice in his head: "There should be some secrets hidden in your friend."
Pales chuckled:
"Being able to escape from Amon's pursuit already explains a lot... If I feel right, he should be favored by the goddess of the night and the true creator, and there are other favors besides this."
Thinking of the aura from "Origin Castle" that flashed through him at that moment, Pales felt a little more fearful - could it be that he is now the favored one of the Origin Castle?
Has the terrifying existence that once controlled Origin Castle revived?
"ha?"
Leonard looked at Palles in front of him in disbelief, and couldn't help but make a confused sound. Klein maintained the persona of Gehrman Sparrow and turned to look at Leonard expressionlessly:
"what happened?"
Only then did Leonard realize that he had said something inadvertently. He sneered and looked at Klein in front of him:
"It's okay, it's okay. I just thought of something."
"...Your wife is going to have a baby?"
Klein's face looked a little strange, and he couldn't help but play jokes about before time travel. Unfortunately, the Leonard in front of him was not a high-dimensional traveler, so he was confused and did not pick up the thread.
Playing jokes alone still seems a bit lonely...
Klein sighed with regret, once again feeling the difference between this world and the world before he traveled.
"Let's go in." Klein said in a low voice, looking at Leonard beside him with some worry:
"Remember our current identities. My name is Gehrman Sparrow. I am a crazy adventurer and captain of a pirate ship who is going to sea. In front of outsiders, you can just call me Captain Sparrow. Don't expose us. An identity that belongs to the church.”
"I know."
When it comes to the tasks to be performed, Leonard is also rare and serious. He looked at the clothes he had subconsciously arranged just now, and pulled them aside again, making him look like a sailor.
Seeing Leonard's actions, Klein's face couldn't help but become a little strange:
"Leonard, actually your disguise is not necessary."
"Huh? Why?" Leonard was a little confused, "Didn't you say before that we need to disguise ourselves and not reveal our identities?"
"...Wait a minute, let me adjust my tone." Seeing that he and Leonard were almost at the door of the tavern, Klein closed his eyes and quickly recalled his previous persona in his mind.
A crazy and cold adventurer, but with some kindness and compassion in his heart, a speculator on the sea, and also a captain who loves and protects his crew...
After a little more speculation about the tone Gehrman Sparrow would use to reply to Leonard, Klein opened his eyes, with a cold look already written on them:
"Your disguise is superfluous."
Hey, why do you suddenly speak so harshly... It should be very difficult for you to negotiate with people in this disguise! Leonard couldn't help but curse in his heart, while Pales in his consciousness couldn't help but laugh out loud and praised:
"His acting skills are very good."
"Huh?" Leonard did not say it directly this time, but muttered silently in his mind:
"Old man, you just said that Klein's acting was good? What do you mean?"
"It's very simple, kid." Pales looked at Leonard on his body with hatred:
"The faceless man he played was quite perfect - at this rate, it will be able to digest the potion in a few months at most. Tsk tsk, he is still the Fool Path similar to me, which is a pity. He was not the one I was parasitizing at the time... …”
"Old man, I'm warning you, don't have other thoughts about him!" Leonard suddenly became vigilant. Of course, his vigilance was rewarded with a scolding from Pales:
"Go, go, go, I don't have time to change the body of the body. And he is the favored one of the goddess of the night, so I don't dare to take his body."
What Pales did not dare to say was that he had just sensed the aura of Origin Castle on Klein. Even if there was a chance to parasitize Klein, he did not dare to parasitize it.
"That's good……"
Leonard followed Klein into the bar and smelled a familiar smell again. Looking at Klein, who was playing Gehrman Sparrow in front of him, standing on the spot and scanning the surroundings, he seemed to be observing the environment of the bar. Leonard immediately walked to Klein's side:
"There he is - the living corpse named Maric."
"I saw it." Klein said in a low and cold voice, which brought a great contrast to Leonard: This feeling is like the friend around you suddenly changed into a different person, which is difficult for people to adapt to.
But Klein's words at the next moment shocked Leonard even more: "The people playing cards with him are all dead."
"Strictly speaking, they are all controlled by 'living zombies', real living zombies."
"Let me take a look." Leonard quietly opened his spiritual vision and looked at Maric opposite him. Sure enough, he saw a black aura from the people next to him. Those were really just corpses that had been dead for a long time, they were real living corpses!
"Let's go." Klein nodded and walked towards Maric on the opposite side. Maric was stunned for a moment, then saw Leonard next to Klein, and couldn't help but put down his guard.
"Is this your captain?" Maric looked at Klein in front of him with seemingly suppressed malice in his eyes: "Do you have any other crew members?"
"It's just the two of us." Klein said with a stern expression. When Maric heard Klein's words, he was stunned for a moment:
"So I'm your first crew member?"
"Are you playing house on the sea?"
Klein frowned, tapped his back teeth twice, and turned on his spiritual vision. He just realized that something was wrong with the state of Maric in front of him. He didn't look like a temperate person who controlled his desires. Instead, his words were a little anxious and urgent, and even a little uncontrollable.
"...Of course I have my own confidence."
Klein's voice was low, and the squirming hunger in his hands slightly released a hint of the aura of the true Creator. He pressed Maric's shoulder with his left hand, which had grown completely due to his resurrection, and slammed him down on the table.
"What are you doing!" Maric shouted angrily after being pushed down on the table, and was about to control the living corpse beside him to attack Klein.
However, the usually taciturn living corpse did not obey his command at this moment. Instead, he crossed his arms and seemed to be watching the excitement.
This is the function of the Azik bronze whistle that Klein carries with him!
These living corpses have "rebelled"!
Klein ignored Maric's voice. He easily pressed the living corpse, who was known for his body, on the table with one hand, and observed his physical condition with his spiritual vision.
The abdomen was seriously injured, and the lungs were also injured - hiss, only a "living corpse" with strong body defense or the "Rose Bishop" of the Aurora Society can survive such a serious injury...
Klein pressed down on the weak Maric and used his other hand to touch it. Maric felt that the pain in his chest and abdomen disappeared, and he only felt that there was a wound on his hand that was close to a break.
But such pain can be completely controlled with willpower, which also made his previously manic mental state much better.
Klein released his hand that was holding Maric, and a flame jumped and appeared a little further away. However, Maric did not attack directly. Instead, he looked at Klein in front of him with a strange expression.
He discovered that the purpose of the rough guy just now was to heal himself, so he suppressed the indulgent malice in his heart and turned to look at Klein in front of him, waiting for his follow-up actions.
"Why do you want to treat my injury?" The two sides faced off for a few seconds. After Klein glanced at the drunken people around him who wanted to come over to watch the fun and scared them away with his cold eyes, Maric couldn't hold back his heart. Confused, he asked Klein.
"This is proof." After hearing Maric's words, Klein pressed his hat, "It's considered a welfare for the crew."
"...You just acquiesced in me joining your fleet?" Maric was obviously a little shocked, but he quickly adjusted his tone and suppressed the malice and madness he couldn't help but reveal:
"Tell me about your purpose, and I will use it to judge whether I can go to sea with you." Maric was silent for a while, "But I want to tell you in advance, I am being hunted by the Rose School. If you are really ready Taking me with you may cause unnecessary trouble."
"I can tell."
Klein nodded concisely, which made Maric become even more silent. He looked down at the wound that was transferred to his right hand, and seemed to understand why the man in front of him could tell that he was being hunted.
——As soon as someone discovers him, this kind of injury can tell that he is being hunted.
"Are you still willing to take me with you? What is your purpose?" Maric was even more confused.
"Go to sea, search for treasures, and hunt pirates." A slightly crazy smile appeared on Klein's face. The hunger squirming in his hands seemed to sense the murderous intention emerging from his master's heart, and he also released some terrifying... breath.
That is the breath of the true Creator!
"I brought you with me because you are a 'living corpse' - the corpse you control can do a job that can save a lot of redundant crew members."
"..." Maric felt that Klein in front of him seemed to have turned into a terrifying shadow, exuding an aura that would make even him feel terrified.
He thought for a moment and said to Klein in front of him:
"In this case, I will join your pirate group. But apart from my own job, I will not do anything that goes against my heart."
"Adventure group." Leonard emphasized.
"Okay, adventure group." Maric shrugged his shoulders and changed his name in his words: "I also want to go to sea to find someone."
"Human?" Klein asked in a calm tone.
"It's my partner, the companion who escaped from the Rose School of Thought with me." Maric's face couldn't help but reveal a bit of gloom: "We originally hunted the Rose School of Thought in Backlund with a person from the Aurora Society. The pursuer, but I didn’t expect..."
"What didn't you expect?" Leonard couldn't help blurting out.
"The Extraordinary of the Aurora Society crossed the river and burned the bridge. After we jointly defeated the pursuers of the Rose School, he used the body of my companion to perform a cruel blood sacrifice ceremony. Although it is not appropriate to call the ceremony a blood sacrifice ceremony, But it’s hard for me to describe in words what that ritual is. But I know that an evil god was born with the help of my companion’s body.”
"Then the people of the Aurora Society let us go, and we ran outside Backlund, but a few days later I found that my companion disappeared beside me and appeared where the evil god was - she later He escaped again, but was eventually recaptured."
"As far as I know, the last time she sent me news, she escaped the control of the evil god again. No, strictly speaking, the evil god let her go. I know this is hard to believe, But that’s what it is.”
Maric said to Klein in front of him with a bitter look on his face. Klein thoughtfully tapped the table in front of him:
"So where exactly are you trying to find your partner? Do you think she's at sea?"
"That's right." Maric nodded with certainty: "She explained this in the letter she gave me before she left. In order to avoid the possible pursuit of the evil god, she chose to go to the sea to hide - so I will also Go to the sea and find her.”
“She was also an extraordinary person, one of the few remaining members of our Temperance sect.”
"Speaking of which, what do you call me?"
"Gehrman Sparrow." Klein stretched out his right hand: "You can also call me Captain Sparrow directly. If you are willing to join my team, I will help you keep an eye on the news about your companions - you have A portrait of your companion? With the portrait, you might be able to get some useful information among the pirates."
As if feeling that his language was not cold enough, Klein reflected on the lack of maturity in his performance and added:
"As much as possible."
You just said you were not a pirate... Maric complained about a portrait he took out from his arms:
"Captain Sparrow, look."
Klein reached out to take the portrait and unfolded it, but the moment he saw the person in the portrait, Klein's expression froze:
Except for some differences in hair color and pupils, the person in the portrait looks almost exactly the same as the fallen mother goddess who saved his life before.
Klein immediately raised his head and looked at Maric with a strange expression on his face.
There are more or less mystical connections between extraordinary people who look similar.
And the looks are almost the same...
Klein pondered for a moment and said to Maric in front of him:
"What's your partner's name?"
