Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

Chapter 475 Boarding the Future

"Ugh~Help!"

"Heath, help me, I can't control myself!"

Hearing Paz's cry for help, Heath noticed the sudden situation on the side and wanted to reach out to pull Paz down from the air. He and Paz were like two mutually repelling magnets. , as soon as he got closer, Paz's body floating in the air was strangely pushed away.

Seeing that Heath was unable to save himself, Paz began to cry out for help to Cattleya, who was standing in front of the captain's cabin:

"Captain, help! The cat is going to die!"

Wearing a black classical wizard robe, Cattleya looked like a powerful wizard from ancient legends. Under the crimson moonlight, bright stars flashed in her eyes.

She glanced lightly in the direction of Paz, and said with some helplessness in her tone:

"Stop teasing them both, Paz is going to be frightened by you."

"It just drowned because it secretly went into the sea to catch fish the day before yesterday. Now it is a little afraid of this environment where it cannot control itself."

"Going to catch fish in the sea? Is this something a cat can do?"

Renekton revealed his figure in the shadows on the side, sighing rather speechlessly.

He looked at the black cat still floating in the air with a complicated expression. A flash of blue flashed in the translucent crystal ball held in his left hand, and then quickly became hazy and blurry.

The distorted gravity on Paz's body was quickly restored, and its body fell stiffly to the deck.

Cattleya withdrew her gaze, and her eyes suddenly lit up. A little bit of bright starlight quickly appeared, falling in the air and condensing into a long transparent bridge of bright starlight, extending to the dock where Klein was.

Very impressive! He is worthy of being the Star Admiral who ranks among the best among the seven pirate generals. Among the crowd at the dock, Klein silently sighed in his heart. At this time, he had the urge to brush his face with his hands.

If the identity of "The World" were not bound to Gehrman Sparrow, I would definitely have to change my identity and board the ship. Although I am not a sociopath, I am still a little uncomfortable being watched by so many people.

Klein sighed inaudibly, pressed the half-high silk top hat on his head, and then stepped out of the shadows, walking steadily on the long bridge where the stars were condensed.

The feeling of stepping on the Starlight Long Bridge is unexpectedly solid, as stable as iron. In addition to being too transparent, you can clearly see the deep blue and almost black water under your feet, giving people the feeling of stepping into space at all times.

While Klein was walking on the Starlight Bridge with his back straight, the piers all looked at him in awe or curiosity, which made him feel that he was in the spotlight, so it was very suitable for him to have a gorgeous show. The idea of ​​performing.

Under a series of unexplained glances, Cara Hey You walked through the last section of the Starlight Bridge and stepped on the deck of the Future.

He looked towards the front of the deck with curiosity and inquiry. The "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya, who was wearing a classical wizard's robe, with her black hair simply draped, and her deep black and purple eyes, was standing quietly in front with a deep gaze. He looked at himself with some curiosity.

Standing behind Cattleya was a man dressed in simple sailor clothes, tall and thin, with a sickly feeling about his whole person.

Behind him, Renekton, wearing a long dark brown trench coat, with his light blond hair parted sideways, and holding a fist-sized crystal ball in his right hand, was squatting on the deck, talking to a listless black cat. , but the black cat obviously didn't want to talk to him, and even wanted to scratch his face twice.

After taking a brief look at the situation on board the Future, Klein withdrew his gaze, took off the half-high silk hat on his head, and gave a slight salute to Cattleya:
"Good evening, ma'am."

At the same time that Klein saluted and said hello, Cattleya's eyes flashed with a dark blue, almost purple glow, making her already mysterious dark black and purple eyes even deeper and more mysterious.

She saw the bright and dazzling azure, blood red, silver, turquoise, gray, and golden brilliance on Gehrman Sparrow's body, which dazzled her a little. She even turned slightly away without paying too much attention to the condition of the other person's spirit body. The head looked back.

Five magical items, and a dozen spiritual artifacts or charms. After briefly summarizing Klein's situation, Cattleya didn't know how to lament whether he was timid and cautious or bold and reckless.

As a pirate general who is famous across the world, it is not that she has never seen more exaggerated magical items than this. However, any magical item has negative effects. Even if they are all of the type with the lowest side effects, they will have negative effects when the number of them accumulates. Becoming scary, in this case, the existence of magical items is actually a drag.

If he is not too stupid, it means that he has a way to deal with this situation. Just like an extraordinary person on the general path, he can intuitively grasp the abilities and problems of most extraordinary items, and can use them to avoid danger as much as possible.

His spiritual body was covered with a layer of lightless pure darkness, and it seemed that his whole person was hidden in a thick curtain of shadow. Is this why he gave me the feeling of being a non-living person during the Tarot meeting?

Cattleya quickly put her thoughts to rest and greeted with a smile:

"Good evening, Mr. Sparrow."

Then she looked sideways at Heath who was following her, and introduced aloud:
"This is the second officer on the Future, Heath Doyle."

"The Bloodless" Heath Doyle, the pirate with a bounty of 7600 pounds, Klein recalled the information about this pirate, then nodded gently towards the other party and said: "Gehrman Sparrow."

After introducing Heath, Cattleya took Klein to Renekton, who was comforting Paz, and continued to introduce:
"This cat's name is Paz, and he is a crew member on the Future."

Can cats be crew members? Klein silently turned on his spiritual vision, took a look at the cat named Paz, and saw from it a spiritual color that was richer than that of ordinary people.

This cat is also an extraordinary person. It has a strange sense of majesty derived from its own, which is very similar to the characteristics of the Arbitrator path.

Cattleya didn't pay attention to Klein's subtle actions. She continued to introduce Renekton to him and said:

"He is Al Tynes, and like you, he took the 'Future' to go to that sea area."

Klein maintained the persona of Gehrman Sparrow and simply nodded and said hello:
"Well, 'White Tower', good evening."

Cattleya's expression didn't change much. Some of her performances at the Tarot meeting allowed her to judge that Renekton and Klein knew each other and were very familiar with each other. Renekton nodded slightly towards Klein and responded:

"Good evening, I still have to comfort this frightened cat. You should follow the captain to get familiar with the 'Future' first,"

He didn't run a pet shop before, right? Why does he like to feed small animals so much and like to feed them magic potions? You should be an animal trainer, not a secret peeper. The captain's voice is too skillful. Is this a return to the "Future" and becoming a pirate?

Klein cursed a few times in his mind, nodded slightly, and followed Cattleya to the cabin.

The "Future" parked near the dock also set sail again at this time. The huge sailboat drew a large arc on the sea and headed east along the whaling channel.

As the "Future" left, the tense atmosphere at Nath Port gradually dissipated, and the pirates, sailors and Fusac military who were curiously watching and alert began to disperse.

Klein, who was following Cattleya, silently observed the surroundings. He discovered that the deck, mast and other places of the "Future" were covered with mysterious and strange symbols, intertwined with each other, and faintly overlapping to form a huge whole, like A strange ritual magic.

It is a mysterious sailing ship, but it has not yet reached the level of a ghost ship. However, the layout on the "Future" seems to be more mysterious and complicated than the "Golden Dream".

While Klein looked around curiously, Cattleya spoke up and gave him a brief introduction:
"The magic signs and symbols on the ship together constitute a huge and complex ritual magic. It is integrated with the 'Future', transforming the ship into a huge magical object, with a mystery no less than that of the ghost ship. "

"When necessary, it can also rely on the power of a great being."

"This is ritual magic designed by Al. I just recently completed the transformation of the Future."

A great being? Klein retracted his gaze and looked around, and sighed with a sigh:

"Is this complicated and unique ritual magic specially designed for the Future? This requires very rich occult knowledge."

Cattleya nodded in agreement, and said with a sigh:

"Extraordinaries on the reader path are experts in ritual magic, and they also like to understand and master different occult knowledge. After reaching a certain sequence, they can even develop various strange and effective spells."

"On the sea, the most representative one is the 'Vice Admiral Iceberg'. There are many messages on the sea about the magical spells she mastered. Although there are suspicions of exaggeration, the fact that the messages can be spread out itself shows something."

During the exchange, Klein followed Cattleya to the cabin. A man wearing overalls and a white shirt was walking out from under the cabin holding a wooden barrel filled with strange mushrooms.

He has a strong build and thick hair on his body, and his exposed forearms seem to be covered with a dark brown sweater.

He looked at Klein, who was following Cattleya, and showed a hearty smile. He then bent his right leg and supported the barrel in his arms. He held the barrel with his right hand and stretched out his free left hand forward. :
"Good evening, Mr. Sparrow."

"I'm Frank Lee, first mate of the Future."

Frank Lee, a "poison expert" with a bounty of 7000 pounds, has a bounty that is not as high as that of Second Officer Heath Dall. Is it because he is less dangerous or because he rarely takes direct action in battles? ?

Thoughts floated for a moment, Klein bent slightly and said:

"good evening!"

Frank took back his left hand nonchalantly and said without a smile on his face:

"You seem to know me? Yes, my photo has been put on the Navy's wanted poster."

"'Toxin expert' is just a nickname given to me by those people. In fact, I am a very friendly person with my own lofty pursuits and ideals."

"Al has already kicked off the boat. Didn't you still need to see him for some experimental matters before?"

Cattleya spoke up in time to interrupt Frank's narration. The latter's eyes flashed and he spoke impatiently:

"He's finally back. I still have a lot of experimental ideas that I need his help and advice on."

"Haha~ Captain, I'm going to deal with the failed products of these experiments first. I already have new ideas in my mind. I have a hunch that I will definitely succeed this time."

Before Frank could finish his words, he quickly walked to the deck with the full barrel in his arms.

"Experiment?" Klein asked calmly, maintaining Gehrman's usual cold expression.

Cattleya nodded helplessly and said:

"He is researching a mushroom that does not require sunlight and can reproduce automatically by relying only on monster flesh and blood. It can also purify pollution, squeeze out milk, and grow beef and fish."

"." Klein didn't know what words to use to express his sigh, so he could only remain silent.

This kind of stuff with stacks of buffs has nothing to do with mushrooms, right? However, these conditions seem to be just in line with the environment in Silver City. Is this food prepared for Little Sun and the others?
Cattleya didn't explain too much about Frank. She took Klein to a room diagonally opposite the captain's room and said:

"This is your room. Al's room is next to it. If you have any questions, you can ask him, or come to me directly in the captain's room."

"The ship's restaurant will be occupied at all times, so you can always come and have a meal, or have Frank send someone to deliver food to your room."
