Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 401 That's a different price

Qin Sheng left the house where Ham died, intending to inform the Night Watch team about the situation there.

However, before he had even left South Street, a robust man approached him. He appeared to be around thirty years old, with dark yellow eyebrows and bright, deep blue eyes.

Qin Sheng glanced at the man and, based on his developed perception spell, judged that this person was also an extraordinary individual, whose physical strength far surpassed his spirituality, and who had a strong aura of the sea, making him most likely a pirate.

The Mysterious World is different from worlds like Shrouding the Heavens and Battle Through the Heavens. There is no situation where divine sense or soul power can perceive your realm with a single glance.

In the original storyline, whether he entered Backlund for the first or second time, as long as he didn't actively expose himself, those who came into contact with him would not know his identity as an Extraordinary, his Sequence rank, or that he would blend in with the world.

You never know, the person who walks past you might be a demigod, or the postman who delivers your letter might actually be an angel.

It's truly a paradise for cunning old men.

"Hey kid, wait a minute!" the yellow-browed man said.

Qin Sheng: "..."

Does looking at it kill you?
"Have you seen anyone suspicious here?" the blond-browed man asked.

Which aspect are you referring to?

"For example, someone who looks like they have a bad temper, or someone who looks like a pirate."

"Yes." Qin Sheng nodded.

A hint of delight flickered in the blond man's eyes as he pressed, "Where is he?"

"Do you want to tell the truth?"

"of course."

If you won't listen to the truth, then why am I even asking you? I'm not crazy.

"In front of me," Qin Sheng chose to tell the truth; he was the kind of person who readily accepted good advice.

The man with yellow eyebrows paused for a moment, then laughed in anger.

"Kid, are you trying to provoke me?"

"Honest advice is hard to swallow," Qin Sheng sighed.

“What Emperor Rosell said makes a lot of sense, but that’s not a reason for you to provoke me.”

"So, what price do you want me to pay?" Qin Sheng asked with a smile.

"Apologize to me!"

Qin Sheng: "..."

Such a simple request! I thought it meant I had to kneel down and be a dog.

"You're here to find that pirate named 'Raging Fist' Hans from the Ironblood, right?" Qin Sheng shook his head slightly and walked past the man.

“He has already left, so you don’t need to look for him anymore. I will find him and see just how much power this so-called ‘Raging Fist’ can unleash.”

Upon hearing this, the yellow-browed man realized that he had encountered an extraordinary person as well. He became interested and no longer cared about what had just happened.

"Do you have a grudge against Hans?"

"really."

“That guy is definitely not a good person,” the blond-browed man nodded.

"During this period at sea, the Ironblood was feared by all, having plundered many merchant ships and passenger ships. What is most despicable is that they would also slaughter ships."

Pirates of all sizes across the five seas, some like Admirals Star and Vice Admirals Iceberg, have a bottom line. Their voyages on the high seas are more about adventure or carrying out missions for the forces behind them.

Those captivating maritime legends are basically based on and adapted from these kinds of people.

But some pirates are truly ruthless and evil-doing; once merchant ships or passenger ships encounter them, it's like entering hell.

"Regardless of whether he's a good person or not, he should be punished for doing wrong." Qin Sheng said calmly.

“Hans is not so easy to deal with. Our captain said he is a Sequence 8 ‘Wrathful People’ and also possesses a special item.” The yellow-browed man caught up.

"He didn't come to Port-Enmat alone this time. Friend, do you need my help?"

As if afraid Qin Sheng wouldn't trust him, the man with yellow eyebrows continued:

"Let me introduce myself, Danitz, a hunter who has entered the middle ranks. We'll be more confident working together."

Battles between extraordinary individuals are never a guaranteed win just because you're one level higher in rank. Otherwise, everyone would just announce their ranks before a fight. If I'm 8 and you're 9, you might as well just commit suicide.

Especially in the lower ranks, a firearm, a magical item, a spell, or a piece of intelligence can all change the course of a battle.

Similar events are also recorded in the biography of Master Luo.

Qin Sheng stopped and turned to look at Danitz.

"On the Golden Dream, is that Flame Danitz with a bounty of 3000 pounds?"

"...Have you heard my story?"

Danitz was surprised, then a little smug. Was he really that famous?

Your face tells a story.

“I am Flame, but my current bounty is only 2500 pounds, but it shouldn’t be long before it increases to 3000 pounds.”

Danitz seemed very confident when he spoke of this.

Qin Sheng suddenly realized, "That's right, when Klein went to sea, Danitz was paying 3000 pounds. There's still some time before that time, so it's normal for him to give me a discount."

"What are you doing here?" Qin Sheng was indeed surprised, not expecting to run into an "acquaintance".

Danitz the Blazing, in the original timeline, was Klein's "Red Maid".

“It’s normal for pirates like us to be found in various ports, isn’t it?” Danitz shrugged.

That makes a lot of sense, and Qin Sheng had no reply.

"Is Hans also your target? Do you want the treasure map?" Qin Sheng asked.

"What treasure map? Hans has something like that?" Danitz was stunned.

"Then why do you want to deal with him?"

"That son of a bitch dared to say disrespectful things to the captain at the previous secret gathering!" Danitz was extremely angry when he said this.

"Did he think he could hide from everyone just by disguising himself? I'm a hunter!"

"Then you, the hunter, are a bit late."

Qin Sheng's expression was somewhat subtle; this reason was indeed quite reasonable when applied to Danitz.

On the Golden Dream, there appears to be a group of people, but in reality, there are only two types: the captain, Vice Admiral Iceberg, and her ship full of sycophants.

To verbally insult Lieutenant General Iceberg behind his back was something Danitz absolutely could not tolerate.

You can insult him, but you can't insult his goddess.

“I’ve consulted the oracle. Hans has already set sail. I will take care of him on the high seas, which will also be equivalent to avenging you. No need to thank me,” Qin Sheng said.

"Divination? It seems you are one of those extraordinary individuals with high spirituality."

For hunters, divination and spiritualism are things they know very little about, but are completely clueless about.

Lao Zhan, I miss you.

"I am a person who pursues knowledge."

Danitz's eyes lit up. "Our Golden Dream needs someone like this!"

"Did you go to sea just for revenge, or do you want to do something more?" he pressed.

"I'm going on an adventure in the Misty Sea," Qin Sheng said as he walked.

"The sea holds endless treasures, the Ghost Empire, Solomon's legacy, all imbued with endless legends. Perhaps I can find one of them."

"The treasures of the sea have been wandering for too long; it's time for them to find a new owner."

This hit Danitz right where it hurts.

"Would you like to join our Golden Dream?" Danitz invited.

"On our ship, we are all partners who have come together for the dream of finding treasure."

Qin Sheng glanced at him, wondering if it was to flatter the talented generals gathered together, or if he had a crush on him.

"Compared to pirates, we are actually adventurers. We never harm innocent people and even fight against other pirates," Danitz said enthusiastically.

"You're skilled in divination and possess a high level of spirituality. The captain once said that such a path usually requires learning various kinds of knowledge to better improve oneself, and your dreams can be realized on the Golden Dream." The captain has always enjoyed imparting knowledge and acting as a teacher. If I bring back someone with strong learning abilities, I'm sure I'll receive the captain's praise!
Indeed, Danitz invited Qin Sheng not only because he admired Qin Sheng's loyalty and adventurous spirit, but also to please Lieutenant General Iceberg.

The person in the iceberg will be an extraordinary individual on the reader's path. People on this path have one characteristic: they like to teach others and show off their knowledge.

Therefore, although the Golden Dream was a pirate ship, Vice Admiral Iceberg arranged various courses for his subordinates.

Danitz was a hunter, a primitive man, so you can imagine how painful it must have been for him to learn.

The invitation from the red maid did pique Qin Sheng's interest.

"The Iceberg General is a member of the Church of Knowledge. If I want to obtain high-sequence potions or traits from the Reader, I will almost inevitably have to go through the Church of Knowledge. It is indeed worth making contact with them."

Having made up his mind, Qin Sheng asked, "Have you been to the Misty Sea?"

“Of course I’ve been there. It’s the most mysterious sea area, and it’s also our main target in the search for treasure.” Danitz nodded.

"I've heard of the Golden Dream for a long time, and I accept your invitation," Qin Sheng said with a smile.

Bernadette only gave him a nautical chart and a location, but didn't mention arranging for the Dawn to take him there. If Qin Sheng went to sea alone, there wouldn't be anyone to sail the ship for him.

My eldest niece has no sense of filial piety whatsoever.

"Once I'm on the Golden Dream, I can ask Vice Admiral Iceberg to take me to the Misty Sea. I won't even have to drive the ship myself," Qin Sheng thought with satisfaction.

We've recruited another man. Perfect.

“You agree? Good.” Danitz was pleased, then his expression turned serious.

"As the fourth boatswain of the Golden Dream, on behalf of the beloved captain, Vice Admiral Iceberg—Edwina Edwards, I welcome you to the ship."

I've done a great job this time, and the captain will definitely reward me!

Qin Sheng told Danitz his name, and then said:
"I need to go to the Church of the Night first and tell the Night Watchman what happened here, so that Isha, my friend's sister, can collect his body and give him a proper burial."

"Of course."

Danitz had no objection, but he did not go to church with Qin Sheng, as he had his own things to do.

Qin Sheng could tell that Xiao Da was being cautious; he was probably afraid that Qin Sheng would report him for being a pirate…

church.

Isa remained in the Great Prayer Hall, praying to the goddess of night for her brother's safety.

Qin Sheng sat down silently next to her, sighing inwardly that no matter what world it is, separation by death is the greatest suffering in the world.

Thinking of his childhood memories of playing with Ham, Qin Sheng clasped his hands together and prayed for the deceased.

"More sublime than the starry sky, more enduring than eternity, you are the Crimson Lord, the Mother of Secrets, the Queen of Calamity and Fear..."

Before he could even finish reciting the name of the Goddess of the Night, Qin Sheng felt a sense of peace in his heart. He vaguely felt darkness enveloping him, the air filled with the fragrance of flowers, twinkling starlight, and the glow of the red moon, as if a gauze skirt were brushing against his skin.

Qin Sheng: "..."

finally come.

I've been waiting for this day ever since I first came into contact with Klein and joined the Tarot Club. I've been waiting for the righteous god and the evil god, and finally, it's here.

I welcome all deities to send me extraordinary attributes and magical items.

In the future, when I advance to the Ancients, or even the Dual-Source or Tri-Source Ancients, I will definitely lead you all to the Ancients together!

The spirituality erupted like a volcano, and the power of the world that blotted out the sky was borrowed into this body at this moment, tearing through the darkness, and the scene of the church came back into view.

Showing off muscles.

"Let's talk..."

The voice was soft and gentle, yet as high and distant as the night sky.

Everything was as before; there was no unusual change in the Great Prayer Hall, and no one noticed what had just happened.

Qin Sheng looked up at the light shining down from the circular hole above and murmured softly:

"That's a different price."

Nothing happened.

When Isha finished praying and opened her eyes, she was startled to find Qin Sheng beside her.

"Noah, why are you back again?"

Qin Sheng nodded slightly, looking at the girl with a solemn expression.

"I've found Ham."

A look of joy flashed in Isa’s eyes, but it quickly dimmed.

"He has returned to the goddess's divine kingdom."

For ordinary believers in deities, this phrase means death.

Dai Li rushed over, and after learning a lot of information from Qin Sheng, she looked at Isa, who was sobbing with her head down, and fell silent. Then she prayed to the goddess of the night.

"How did you find Ham?" Daly asked.

"You know, people like us always have the ability to do these things."

Qin Sheng was not afraid of revealing his identity as an extraordinary being.

"Could you please take us there?" Daly said gravely.

When Isa saw Ham's body, she covered her mouth and tears streamed down her face silently.

"May the goddess protect you." The night watchmen tapped their chests lightly.

"Have the pirates who killed Mr. Ham left Enmat Port?" a night watchman asked.

"Correct."

"Hans of the Ironblood...we will report this matter." The captain of the Night Watch at Enmat Port said in a deep voice:
"The Kingdom of Rune will issue an arrest warrant for him."

The night watchmen felt helpless. The murderer in this case had been identified, but there was nothing they could do next.

If pirates commit crimes but are not caught on the spot and instead escape, the only way to deal with them is to increase their bounty, hoping that extraordinary individuals will be tempted by the money to kill them.

Neither the church nor the authorities would directly send a team of extraordinary individuals to hunt them down unless there were special reasons.

Night watchmen in each city are not allowed to leave their jurisdiction without application and approval.

Of course, the Church of the Night also knew that this was very inconvenient, as some vicious criminals roamed around.

Within the Church of the Night, there is another force called the "Red Gloves," which can investigate cases and reinforce night watchmen in various locations.

Other churches also possess similar power.

“Mr. Noah, there are a few things I need to know about this case,” the Night Watch captain said.
"Please rest assured, the Church of the Night will not exclude or suppress people like you. In fact, there are many extraordinary individuals who do not belong to any organization and maintain friendship with the Church."

“Ham is my friend, I just did what I should do,” Qin Sheng nodded.

As for suppressing me?
Hmph, this is outrageous! A mere night watchman dares to devour his master and suppress the goddess's... followers!
After the Night Watchers took Ham's body away, Qin Sheng stayed behind alone. After setting up the ritual, he began to pray to Klein.

“You are a fool who does not belong to this era. You are the mysterious ruler above the gray fog. You are the king of yellow and black who holds good fortune.”

“I have something to report to you. The goddess of night has favored me and wants me to become her chosen one. I am confused about this.”

Mr. Fool, I am very troubled right now and I need your guidance.

The grand villa in Backlund, the six or seven hundred thousand gold pounds in my bank account, and the demigod level already made me very unhappy; now the goddess has arrived too.

Mr. Fool, the emperor is suffering!

At that moment, Klein happened to be above the gray fog. He saw the red star belonging to Qin Sheng expand, its spirituality spreading and making contact with the star, and he heard Qin Sheng's words.

Then the fool was stunned, listening repeatedly, before he dared to believe that he had not hallucinated or lost control.

"A favorite of the goddess?"

That's not my boss's... boss? That doesn't make sense, does it? Your Majesty, aren't you the Mysterious Queen's person? How could you become a favorite of the goddess?

Upon hearing Qin Sheng say that he was confused, Klein slumped in his chair.

I'm confused too.

"The emperor is favored by the goddess, while the fool is the lowest of the night watchmen..."

Who is really carrying the burden of this Tarot reading?
