Chapter 170 Clues to the Mermaid
The strongest hunter... Klein was taken aback by this title. After careful reflection, he found that the other party did not have a bounty.
In other words, Anderson Hood's self-statement in the dream world is true and reliable, he is more of a treasure hunter!
It's a pity that Gehrman Sparrow hasn't killed any of the pirate generals, otherwise I would be the strongest hunter... Klein didn't let his guard down, and stared coldly at the other side.
As long as Anderson Hood has any abnormalities, he will immediately throw out the spell in his hand. Anyway, it is the same to open the spell. For him in the current sequence, the infusion of spirituality can also be carried out at the same time.
Hearing the introduction of "Admiral of the Stars", Anderson seriously shook his head:
"No, not the strongest hunter."
Yo, you're quite modest... Klein sighed in his heart.
Anderson chuckled and added:
"If you still insist on 'Admiral of the Stars', it is best to add a qualifier in front of it: less than a half-god.
"Well, the strongest hunter below a demigod."
...I take back the previous sentence... The corners of Klein's mouth moved invisibly.
Seeing that "Admiral of the Stars" did not respond, Anderson naturally drooped his hands and said:
"This sea area is very dangerous, but there are also many treasures hidden. I believe the two of you are equally clear about this.
"There used to be quite a few adventurers, more precisely treasure hunters, who entered here to seek adventures, but most of them failed to get out alive. Hehe, I'm talking about most of them. There must be some lucky ones who can harvest items And materials, and can leave smoothly.
"The treasure hunting team this time was convened by two treasure hunters with experience in this field. They claimed that they had figured out which ruins could not be explored in the first half of the safe passage, which ruins could be tried, and which monsters should be hunted in what way. , Which method must be used to avoid the out-of-control evil creatures.
"I have always been curious about this place, and I was successfully persuaded by them to join their treasure hunting group."
"And then?" "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya's dark purple eyes reflected the figure of the opponent.
Anderson sighed and said:
"It started off well,
It went really well, we avoided the danger, got a lot of relics from the previous explorers, hunted down some monsters, and harvested several materials.
"The turning point of everything came after we discovered a strange temple on a flooded island. There are many well-preserved murals there. This gentleman has also seen it in the dream world."
He pointed at Klein with his chin.
"That's not the point." Klein responded calmly.
Anderson shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"One of the murals is very eerie, depicting a pilgrimage procession in parting waters.
"The leader of this team is portrayed as an angel, with long silver-colored vest-length hair and soft features.
"I was the first to arrive at the mural, stretched out my right hand, and habitually sketched various lines out of thin air. Really, I didn't touch them. There was at least 5 centimeters apart. Who knew that the angel in the portrait was At that moment, I seemed to open my eyes."
...Your title of strongest hunter must have been forced out because of too many troubles... Klein sneered silently without any sympathy.
"A silver-haired angel?" Cattleya asked back.
"Yes, but I don't know which angel this is. At least it doesn't appear in the various paintings of the Seven Great Churches. Of course, it may have been added by the mural writer at will, and it may not be real." Anderson just raised his hand to stroke his hair , only to find that the man opposite him in a T-shirt, brown jacket, and peaked cap was staring at him indifferently, as if he would launch an attack without hesitation as long as there was a slight movement.
At this moment, Klein was thinking about another thing:
"This guy is very professional in art. At least ordinary people can't understand so many religious paintings."
Cattleya, who didn't get a valid answer, immediately turned her head and looked at Klein, with a hint of questioning in her gaze.
She heard from Anderson Hood just now that Gehrman Sparrow had seen that mural.
Perhaps, this member of the organization gifted by the Lord can recognize which angel it is... "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya somehow felt that Gehrman Sparrow might really know the answer.
Thinking that Ms. "The Hermit" could get an answer by just asking casually at the next Tarot meeting, Klein didn't hide anything, and simply said:
"'Tail Swallower' Ouroreus."
"Tail Swallower" Ouroreus? That "Angel of Destiny"? The king of angels? Cattleya's lips pursed unconsciously, and the purple in her eyes seemed to be a little more obvious.
The last time she heard this name was at the Tarot Society, thanks to Miss Justice's notification.
That was the first time she knew about the existence of the King of Angels, and she didn't expect to encounter clues in the real world in just a few months!
"Ouroreus the Tail Swallower?" Anderson chewed on the name in a daze.
Klein didn't speak any more, acting like I wasn't interested in explaining.
Seeing that "Admiral of the Stars" did not speak, Anderson could only laugh out loud, and continued:
"At the time, I thought it was a hallucination, because there was no abnormality after that mural.
"Then, our team split into two parts. Most of them were frightened by my description and thought that the temple should not be explored. The remaining third were eager to harvest more treasures and set off toward the depths of the temple. Yes, we waited for a whole day, and waited for three alternations of noon and night, but we didn't wait for them to come back.
"We are all excellent treasure hunters. We knew that something must have happened. After a little confirmation, we didn't dare to stay any longer, didn't dare to wait any longer. We immediately left the temple and returned by boat. We have gained enough and don't want to take any more risks. "
Wait, none of you intend to save your companion? Well, the members of this kind of adventure group assembled temporarily will definitely only care about themselves and the few friends they are most familiar with when encountering danger... According to my experience, those of your disappearing companions may be eating the fingers of corpses... Klein He slandered a few words, but never accused Anderson.
Anderson sighed again:
"After leaving that temple, we found that some changes occurred in ourselves. On the one hand, we became very unlucky. No matter what we did, we didn't go well. Even if we drank a few sips of light beer quietly, we would find that someone used the barrel as a toilet , pissed in it, um, this is not what happened to me, it was my companion’s.
"On the other hand, we have gained control over ourselves in the dream, and we are no longer in a state of being in a daze, knowing something but unable to act, so some of my companions, about one-third of the original number , curiously went to the depths of the dream world for a certain distance, hehe, they never came back."
Cattleya, who was listening quietly, asked:
"What about their real-world bodies?"
"The mutation turned into a monster, killed many of the remaining companions, and killed most of the sailors." Anderson took a deep breath, "Although we succeeded in killing those monsters, due to the lack of enough sailors and encountering By a series of unlucky events, we were not able to reach the island before the storm, so that our ship sank, our harvest sank, and the rest of our companions either drowned, or were struck by lightning, or were thrown into the water. The monsters devoured, I didn't see them all with my own eyes.
"Only me, who was stronger than them and luckier, was thrown away by the waves, successfully swam to this island, and began to try to go out in a canoe. Heh, you saw it too, my last ax was broken, reflected in the dream."
Anderson's last words were addressed to Klein.
It's really a treasure hunting group riddled with bad luck... Klein drew a crimson moon for the other party in his heart.
He thinks that Anderson's description should be true, and his experiences are not fabricated out of thin air, but it is not known whether he has concealed anything.
Perhaps, Anderson really went to the depths of that temple, ate the fingers of the corpse, and then came out thinking nothing happened. Perhaps, he had already explored many places in the dream world, where some unknown creatures In the dream, there is inconspicuous pollution.
Anderson Hood finished talking about his experience, and smiled at "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya and the unknown so-and-so:
"Do I have the honor of being aboard the Future?
"I'll pay for the boat."
He looks like he's letting you ask for a price.
Cattleya turned her head again and looked at Klein, as if asking him if he would agree.
In other words, you are more inclined to say yes? Don't you do any review? I have to go to divination above the gray fog to give a clear answer. Why are you so confident? "Secret Peeper" has the extraordinary ability of Sequence 5? Klein deciphered some information from Cattleya the Hermit's glance.
While he hesitated to guess, Anderson said anxiously:
"I am very familiar with the next route!
"I can help you avoid the hidden dangers on the safe passage, tell you which ruins cannot be explored, and let you avoid the singing of the mermaid in time!"
"The singing voice of the mermaid?" Klein's eyes almost lit up, and he managed to maintain the image of Gehrman Sparrow.
"Yes, another day's voyage from here, I mean one day outside, bypassing a ruin, turning to..." At this point, Anderson suddenly realized, smiled and closed his mouth, no more words .
Klein thought for a while, took out a gold coin in front of Anderson, and recited in a low voice:
"Anderson Hood has a problem."
...
He repeated it seven times in a row, following the standard process of divination, but actually didn't expect an answer at all.
This is testing the other party.
If Anderson really had a problem, he should have shown a guilty conscience. After all, he couldn't confirm Gehrman Sparrow's divination level, and he couldn't be sure that interference would succeed.
Zheng!
The gold coin bounced and fell, Klein glanced at it, and put it directly into his pocket:
"no problem."
Go back to the gray mist to confirm... Klein added in his heart.
Cattleya then looked at Anderson and nodded:
"I agree to your request.
"But after leaving this sea area, you must share half of your items with me. If you have nothing, then I don't want anything."
Anderson was silent for a few seconds, then smiled again and said:
"make a deal!"
After finding a way out, he obviously relaxed a little, and immediately said with a smile:
"Also, I have to remind you that although my bad luck is only limited to myself, you have to be careful, because I may attract monsters. Of course, I believe that you, this gentleman and me Combination, security issues can still be guaranteed.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire island suddenly shook, and smoke and dust came out from the primeval forest.
"There's no real monster..." Anderson subconsciously opened his mouth wide.
