Chapter 163 Connecting with Bernadette

396

After killing the Storm Bishop who lost control because of his sacrifice to an evil being, Klein escorted the Blanche family and the DiMerdo family through the windy Bansi Port and into the cabin.

Then, he walked to Ireland, took out Bishop Miller's extraordinary characteristics, and threw it over:

"If there are still 'punishers' alive, return them to them."

A possible extraordinary characteristic left by a Sequence 6 bishop will inevitably be vigorously pursued by the Church of Storms, and everyone on the "White Agate" will be the object of suspicion. Klein does not want to be picked up by the number one man on the ocean just after he sets out to sea. Wanted by forces.

Ireland caught the thumb-sized thing and glanced at it with some confusion.

He didn't ask what it could be used for, he laughed and said:

"Don't worry about the investigation of the Church of Storms. I will hint to them that you and I are on the same side."

So, I was thought by the Church of Storms to be someone from MI9? Klein nodded lightly and said nothing more.

Ireland looked at Daniz next to him and asked tentatively: "Fire flame?"

"Haha." Daniz laughed dryly and imitated someone, "Guess."

"Then I don't think so." Ireland responded tacitly.

After briefly explaining the matter, Klein came to the side of the ship and looked at the mist-shrouded Bansi Port, guarding against hidden dangers.

Time passed by, and the peaks of the coastal mountains once again lit up with the light of thunderstorms. A series of silvery and violent lightning flashed there and gradually subsided.

The fog in Bansi Port began to dissipate, and the light of the red moon became clearer and clearer.

it's over?

Klein did not dare to relax completely and remained on the deck until the clouds were burning in the sky and the sun slowly rose, illuminating the entire port.

He saw the residents here going out one after another, bathing in the golden sunshine, talking and laughing while going to their respective jobs.

Port Bansi has a human touch again.

………

It's really over... Klein turned around slightly confused, preparing to catch up on his sleep after the ship sailed. As for Danitz, although he had already yawned, he didn't dare to see Gehrman Sparrow moving. move.

Ireland moved his neck and sighed:

“Last night, I had this amazing feeling that ancient Binsi and modern Binsi overlapped.”

Klein was planning to just pass him by, but he suddenly grasped a word and asked with a solemn expression:

"Binxi?"

"Haha, this is the ancient name of Bansi Port. Three or four hundred years ago, this place was called Binsi Town. Later, due to multiple factors such as pronunciation, it gradually evolved into Bansi." Ireland introduced casually.

Bansi, Binsi? Klein had no impression of either name, so he nodded casually, said goodbye to Ireland and went back to catch up on his sleep.

But he naturally made a guess: last night's divination results confirmed that there was something extremely terrifying hidden in Banxi Port. Therefore, he was extremely cautious along the way and did not do any exploration other than rescue. Finally, he returned safely within a controllable range. Arrived on the boat.

Now that I think about it, the dangers in Bansi Port may be related to the ancient "Binsi", the weird telegraph office that smells of blood, the tradition of not opening the door after dark, the priest who was blood sacrificed by the bishop, and the local legendary evil god "The God of Weather" "... "Binxi" must be hiding a very big and very dangerous secret. What is it like behind the door of the terrifying telegraph office?

Compared with an event like the arrival of the "True Creator", the unknown and undetonated situation is more terrifying.

At least Klein can't help but imagine now what he would see and what would happen if he kicked open the door of the telegraph office, or went around to the back and climbed in through the window.

He kept imagining all kinds of weird and terrifying scenes in his mind, which scared himself very much.

It was indeed a wise choice not to disturb them out of curiosity.

In order to express his gratitude, Captain Ireland sent a fishman's swim bladder worth 150 pounds, and the two businessmen he rescued also sent generous rewards through the hands of children. Klein couldn't help but sigh, the adventurer's business was really easy.

When I was still working as a private detective in Backlund, I didn't know how many daily commissions I had to do to get such a big reward.

In order to maintain Hermann's character, Klein suppressed the desire to yawn and rub his eyes. With a straight face, he returned to Daniz's first-class cabin, which he had commandeered, and prepared to catch up on the soft big bed.

The Declined King was sitting in the passenger hall of Pulitzer Port, slowly flipping through the "Ancient Giant Language Dictionary" that he had not finished reading before.

Published by the Royal Historical Research Institute of the Fusac Empire, it is quite authoritative. It is the best ancient giant language textbook currently available. It is a hard cover book as thick as two bricks. It looks like a weapon, and the price is also very affordable: 18 soles, plus cross-border shipping, the total is one and a half pounds.

He used a false identity to buy a first-class ferry ticket to the Rhoad Islands for a full 35 pounds.

While waiting in line to board the boat, he had no luggage, but was holding a very thick and heavy book with one hand while watching. He attracted the attention of other tourists, but as soon as he turned his head, he would forget his face and only remember the thick book. Thick dictionary.

It takes about a week to sail from Pulitzer Harbor to the Rhoad Islands.

Shipping companies that specialize in this type of business charge higher fees, provide better overall services, and frequently call at ports and islands. If you choose to travel by boat, although it is cheaper, the quality of life and travel time are difficult to guarantee.

"Information about the 'Immortal King' Agaritu..."

The Outer God tried to search, but he did not go through the Aurora Society's channels, because the Aurora Society's power at sea was mediocre, and without their people among the Four Kings and Seven Generals, it was difficult to grasp the whereabouts of a pirate king.

Although the "Suicide Number" must have the devil's senses to avoid harm, they must not be able to sense it if the top of the sequence on the same path attacks it.

"Frank is a crew member of the 'Star Admiral'. I tried to negotiate with the captain through him to buy information... Unfortunately, I was prevaricated."

The "Star Admiral" seems surprisingly timid. After Frank finished his request, she began to search for useless knowledge seriously, finding records of the appearance of the "Immortal King" in pirate conferences in the past ten years and stories about the "Immortal King" in newspapers.

But this is all outdated information. What about the trends in the past year, the past six months, and the past few months? The general on the star said, "I'm very sorry. I'm not very powerful and I'm afraid I can't help you. Perhaps through this information, I can summarize the action patterns of the "Immortal King". I, a little pirate general, don't dare to find information about the demigod." , otherwise please ask Gao Ming.

He is worthy of being a peeper of secrets, and he has learned the true story of the sage who pretends to be confused.

It was no one else who invited Gao Ming. When I asked her to name a "Gao Ming", she gave the suggestion tremblingly, reluctantly, and with great fear:

"Perhaps you can seek help from the other three pirate kings."

So the Outer God first thought of the "Queen of Mysteries", Bernadette Gustave.

Make a deal with Bernadette? It’s not impossible.

He has always been very mobile. After entering his cabin No. 323, he closed the door and the curtains automatically closed, creating a dark room. He lit a candle and read in ancient Hermetic:

“The Spirit who pursues knowledge,

“A beacon in the mysterious world;

"Looking into the eyes of destiny,

“King above the sea;

"Holy Bernadette Gustave..."

He considered his words: "I hope to have a conversation with you and exchange the information I need."

After repeating this passage twice, He sat down on the sofa and continued to look through the dictionary, waiting for the other party's possible response.

…

While responding to the subordinates of "Elemental Dawn" one by one, Bernadette noticed this strange... or rather arrogant prayer.

If it is a prayer from a lower person to a higher person, then the phrase "I ask for your attention" should be used. Such straightforward words from the other party undoubtedly imply that the other party's strength and identity are on the same level as his own.

A saint finds himself on purpose. She was not in a hurry to respond, but closed her eyes and used her spirituality to describe the scene of prayer:

In the dim room, a man stood in the entrance hall, holding a candle in his hand.

The picture became clear, and Bernadette's eyes suddenly widened. The man had no face, no facial features, and his entire face was flat!

A faceless saint? Foreshadowing of the occult... Faceless Man, I remember a potion name similar to this one... The Queen of Mystery immediately took out one of her notebooks from the bookshelf, flipped through more than ten pages, and stopped at On one page:

"Soothsayer Path, Sequence 6, "Faceless Man". "

She frowned slightly and read the transcript on this page carefully, feeling that the person praying was probably a saint in the path of "divineer".

However, she did not have a complete record of this path at hand. She had no way of knowing the name of the opponent's Sequence 4 or 3, and she could not judge the opponent's strength appropriately.

In fact, based on the strange looming connections on the opponent's body, she subconsciously thought of the name of the Sequence 4 potion "Puppet" in the Prisoner's Path. But the thought passed away, and her spiritual intuition pointed out that "that was the mystery associated with the diviner's path."

"A diviner came to the sea, seeking cooperation with me..."

Bernadette carefully thought about the possible meanings. As a "master of prophecy", she has extremely strong inspiration. Although it is still inferior to the destiny path, she is already good at prophecy, divination and inspiration. Be the best.

At this moment, her spirituality did not give any warning, which meant that she could cooperate with the other party and further observe the possible changes.

"Could it be someone from the Secret Order?"

"My honorable name is not widely spread, but it is normal for the secret order to have records."

"Is it his own opinion to cooperate with me, or does it represent the request of his legendary leader Zarathul?"

After thinking for a moment, Bernadette took the sealed object, did some simple divination, and obtained relatively neutral results.

So, in the afternoon, she answered the prayer.

"The unknown saint, tell me your request first."

Five minutes later, she got the answer from the other party:

"I need the latest movements and clues about the 'Immortal King' Agaritu."

Upon hearing this request, Bernadette's first thought was "acting needs", and she had some vague guesses about the role of the Faceless Man.

She did not reply immediately, but further guessed the other party's purpose:

"Faceless Man" is only Sequence 6, which eliminates the need for the saint to play the role himself.

The identity of the "Immortal King" is important, and the flagship "Sui" he controls is a powerful sealed vessel. It is difficult to play as a Sequence 6, so it may not be for his newly promoted junior.

There is no angel-level plan from this request. This is most likely the saint's private matter.

After thinking about this, Bernadette felt more relaxed. Since this is a relatively reciprocal private cooperation, it might not be a bad idea to trade.

She replied:

"I can help you collect the information you need. The 'Immortal King' doesn't often show its power, it takes time."

The puppet-like person asked back: "How long will it take?"

Bernadette replied: "About a week. The whereabouts of a pirate king are not easy to grasp."

She keeps saying that the whereabouts of the "Pirate King" are difficult to grasp, but her efficiency in obtaining information is not slow at all.

"Okay." The other party's voice was unrecognizable, "I will recite your honorable name again in a week."

He didn't seem in a hurry...

This idea flashed through Bernadette's mind, and she said:

“How do I tell you if I get news earlier or later than seven days?”

The other person was silent for a moment and said slowly: "It doesn't matter if it's earlier than seven days, but if there is still no news after seven days, then I don't need this piece of information."

According to the voyage, the Outer God will be able to reach the Rhoside Islands in seven days. He can buy a boat and go to sea by himself, waiting for the occult contact to have the "Sad Death" delivered to his door. Only information obtained before this is valuable.

Bernadette frowned, unsure of the hidden meaning of this sentence, but still said: "I understand."

"Well, I have several requests, you can choose any one to complete."

"Say it."

"One, help me find out the identity of the 'Black Emperor Ghost' who is secretly operating in Backlund, and bring him to me."

"Second, information on the secret activities of evil secret organizations, such as the Spiritual Religion Group, the Aurora Society and the Rose School of Thought, based on the scale of the Backlund Great Smog."

After saying the two requests, the person on the other side was quiet for a few seconds, seeming to be thinking about it.

"Bernadette Gustave, you are chasing a disaster."

Before the great smog, I saw you in Backlund. You tried to prevent this disaster, but left early for various reasons... But in order to prevent his identity from being judged by this sentence, which would lead to the abortive transaction, the Decline King did not Say it out loud.

The demigod opposite spoke word by word. As soon as the sound entered the ears, it lost its shape and turned into monotonous words that stayed in the mind:

"Is this what your ritual requires? To successfully predict a disaster and amplify or prevent it?"

Bernadette was not surprised: "Your Excellency, your guess is interesting, but it has nothing to do with the deal between you and me."

"I can cause a disaster if you need me to."

The man continued to say extremely terrifying words in an ordinary voice: "How large a scale does your disaster need? Northern Continent or Southern Continent, more than 50,000 people, less than 100,000 people, I can do it, I believe it is rich enough remuneration."

If there was one word to describe Bernadette's mood, it would be a combination of shock and anger - much more shock than anger.

As a pirate king, Bernadette has enough self-awareness, that is, her reputation is mainly based on her own strength, identity, family fortune and mystery, rather than on plundering, massacre, and confrontation with the national navy.

She considered herself to be kind among pirates, but she did not have such an idea among saints of the same level.

Due to her stubborn sense of justice, when she heard that the saint opposite was trying to use such a huge disaster to make a deal, she immediately planned to refuse to cooperate.

"I don't accept this condition."

Bernadette said coldly: "If you persist, then I will refuse this cooperation with you."

It seems that we cannot use this method to make her fail the ceremony and get promoted out of control... Russell, your good daughter is really kind and lovely, and she also insists that there is another hidden reason for your crazy cruelty. It really makes me curious, how did you give it to her? Was she brainwashed?

The Declined King pretended to admit his mistake: "I understand. Just continue to cooperate as you ask."

"I have nothing more to say."

"I hope you will remember your words."

The conversation ends.

Capturing Klein in front of Bernadette was something that the Outer God had never considered.

Klein has Azik Eggers by his side, and according to subsequent observations, they did not turn against each other, but reached some degree of reconciliation.

But in the final analysis, what makes Azik feel uncomfortable is Klein's identity as "the Beloved of the Night Goddess". As long as this identity remains, the effect of sowing discord will always exist.

Even if Azik Eggers and the Goddess of the Night were paying attention to all this, it would be completely impossible for an angel or pirate with the devil's path to capture Klein and hand him over to another pirate in this situation.

"Chasing the ghost of the Black Emperor... Bernadette, good boy... To this day, you are still chasing the ghost of your father."

"You hate Him, hate Him, and are attached to Him. You are obviously chasing the good father in your childhood memories, not Emperor Russell, the Son of Steam, the playboy Gustav, or any other aspect. But you The person you’re chasing doesn’t even exist.”

"Strange, does she really believe that her father is loyal to her mother?"

The outer god said quietly: "I should show mercy and let you see each other for the last time, or maybe not even see you for the last time."

Then choose two.

"Information on the activities of covert organizations."

Although the specific requirements for the "Sage" promotion ceremony are currently unclear, allowing Bernadette to participate without realizing it and personally contribute to some of the disasters should have some impact on her ceremony.

He looked out the window.

It was already five o'clock in the evening, and the night was approaching. It was time for him to get up and go to the restaurant to find some dinner.

Of course, it would be even better if the extraordinary characteristics could bring together the "Immortal King" before Bernadette.

Since the Medici had escaped from trouble, Klein did not know the information that "Binxi is the hiding place of the Medici family, and the Red Angel of the Medici family participated in the redemption of the rose."
