Chapter 374 Grosser's Travels
Although Danitz's shift in topic was somewhat abrupt, he was indeed very knowledgeable about the local characteristics of the Roside Islands and spoke in great detail.
At least Cyril listened very attentively, and he even felt that if someone like Danitz had been his guide before, his "Recorder" potion would have been digested much faster.
After finishing dinner, Danitz paid the bill and then looked at Sirion, asking, "Where do we go next?"
"Of course, you'd like to visit your captain, or perhaps you're planning to buy some local specialties to take back to the ship?"
As he answered, Sirion turned his head to look at him.
Danitz immediately shook his head: "We were originally pirates who roamed the seas, so the things here aren't exactly local specialties, um... except for the ladies in the Red Theater."
"Let's go then."
As he spoke, Sirion turned into an empty alley, reached out and pressed his hand against the cold, damp air, and pushed his palm forward forcefully.
Fine and dazzling starlight suddenly appeared, outlining a phantom door covered with intricate patterns in front of him.
He glanced back at Danitz and Klein, one of them holding onto his clothes and the other with his arm around his shoulder.
As he took a step forward, the three people disappeared from the spot at the same time.
The northern part of the Sunia Sea, the waters between Denos Island and the Gargas Islands.
A clean and tidy sailboat, several tens of meters long, reflecting a hint of gold under the crimson moonlight, sailed on the deep blue, almost black sea.
On the deck at the bow of the ship, tiny starlight suddenly burst forth, rapidly intertwining to outline an illusory door.
Immediately afterwards, Cyril, with a normal expression, led Klein, who was frowning, and dragged Danitz, whose face was so pale it was almost bloodless, out from behind the "door".
As soon as he touched the deck and breathed in the cold night air, Danitz scrambled to his feet and lay on the ship's side, vomiting uncontrollably.
"vomit"
"~~
"I...ugh~"
Cyril turned his head and glanced at Klein, who raised his hand to rub his temples and took a few deep breaths before recovering from the discomfort of his long journey through the spirit world.
Despite having similar physical abilities, with the "arsonist" even being slightly stronger, Danitz and Klein's tolerance for spirit world wandering was surprisingly different.
Thinking of this, he glanced again at Danitz, who was vomiting on the ship's side, and shook his head silently.
What a terrible dish!
Klein, standing to the side, also lingered on Danitz for a moment.
Is this some kind of mysterious world version of motion sickness?
Before, when I saw Cyril running around, I thought that spirit travel was a very easy and simple ability. I never expected that as the time spent traveling increased, the spirit world would have such a terrifying effect on the body and spirit.
If they cannot escape the spirit world in time, the extraordinary person's spirit may collapse or go insane under the gradually increasing pressure.
I don't think I encountered this problem when I traveled through the spirit world before.
Is it because the time period is short, or is it due to the high status influence brought by the "Black Emperor" card?
As he pondered, his spirit was suddenly stirred, and he saw a clear and soft light suddenly illuminate the deck.
It's somewhat like the holy light of the sun, but without that intense sense of holiness. Instead, it's very bright and illuminates a large area.
Is this an improved version of Summoning Holy Light?
As his thoughts drifted, he saw a beautiful woman emerge from the cabin.
"Iceberg Admiral" Edwina Edwards!
In reality, she was similar to the image she had seen in Danitz's dream: an oval face, a high nose, thin lips, and a pair of light blue eyes that resembled clear spring water.
Her long brown hair fell smoothly down her back. She wasn't wearing a hat, and she was dressed in a beige coat that was fitted at the waist, a dark knee-length skirt, and leather boots that matched her hair color.
It seemed the pirate general wasn't ready to rest yet. She held a dark brown compass in her hand, her gaze lingering briefly on Danitz, who was vomiting incessantly on the ship's railing, before sweeping over Cyril and finally settling on Klein.
Seeing that the other person was looking at him, Klein nodded politely and said, "Good evening, madam."
He had originally wanted to explain why he was there with Danitz and the others, but that wasn't in Gehrman Sparrow's character, so he simply said hello and kept quiet.
Edwina nodded slightly and replied, "Good evening, Mr. Sparrow."
"Captain... I'm back."
Danitz raised his hand, using his hoarse voice to try and make his presence known.
But he soon couldn't hold on any longer, buried his head, and continued to dry heave by the side of the ship.
Cyril spoke up at the opportune moment, explaining, "Your bosun isn't used to long periods of wandering in the spirit world."
"But because of the high tide at night, we didn't encounter any islands or reefs where we could temporarily take shelter along the way."
"Oh, by the way, these are some scales from the sea god Kavituwa that I collected when I was in the Roseside Islands. I hope they can be used as my fare for the time being."
As he spoke, he took out a metal cigarette case sealed inside and out with a spiritual wall from his pocket and casually tossed it to Edwina.
Inside were some scales that had fallen when he moved Kavituwa's body, which he had collected.
Klein paused slightly, because coming to the "Golden Dream" with Sirion and Danitz was a last-minute decision, and he had not prepared such travel expenses.
That's not very polite. Should I just give them the money? But I don't have more than £10 in cash on me.
Should we add it later? But that's not Gehrman Sparrow's style.
我想想...
While he was pondering this in distress, he saw Danitz walking towards him unsteadily, so he pointed at him and said, "My fare will be deducted from his salary."
"ah....?"
Danitz stared blankly at Gehrman Sparrow, who was suddenly pointing at him, wondering if he had just thrown up.
Edwina remained silent for a moment, her face expressionless, then nodded: "Okay."
She then explained to Danitz, "Mr. Sparrow was not on the visitor list you mentioned earlier, and bringing him aboard the Golden Dream without authorization violated the crew's code of conduct."
"As a guest you brought back without permission, you are responsible for your own actions, and paying for the boat fare is part of that responsibility."
"captain....
'
Danitz wanted to argue that he had never intended to invite Gehrman Sparrow aboard; it was Sparrow who had insisted.
But seeing Edwina's expression, he swallowed back the words he was about to say, only inwardly roaring:
Bullshit! The first message I received after returning to the ship was a deduction in pay!
It's all Gehrman Sparrow's fault. He was just staying in Bayam and did nothing wrong. Why did he have to follow us around?
He had barely uttered a few words of complaint when he heard his captain's voice again: "Danitz will show you around the cabins. I'll have your rooms prepared, but it will take a while."
.
"no problem."
No, I have a problem. I don't want to be with those two guys anymore.
"This kind of thing should be done by Blue or Jodson; as the first and third mates on the ship, they have more experience."
Edwina did not take his advice, and after exchanging a few words with the two crew members behind her, she returned to the captain's cabin.
Watching Edwina's hurried departure, Sirion said thoughtfully, "She seemed a bit rushed; she must have reached a crucial point in some research."
"6
""
Klein silently labeled the "Golden Dream" in his mind: the least pirate-like pirate crew.
"Come on, I'll show you around, or rather, I'll show you the Golden Dream."
Halfway through his sentence, Danitz turned his gaze to Klein, stood at the entrance to the cabin, and gestured for him to enter.
While Danitz showed Klein around the "Golden Dream," Cyril turned and went to Edwina's captain's cabin.
dong dong!
"Come in."
Behind the large desk, Edwina was organizing her notes. The cigarette case containing Kavituwa scales lay on the table, seemingly unopened.
Seeing that it was Cyril who entered, Edwina nodded slightly and then asked directly, "You suddenly requested to visit me on the 'Golden Dream,' there must be something you need, right?"
"Hmm." Sirion nodded without hiding anything and replied, "I noticed you have a book called 'The Travels of Grosser' in your collection, and I'd like to borrow it."
"It won't take too long, and there's no need to leave the Golden Dream."
""
Grosse travelogue...
After a moment's thought, Edwina nodded and said, "Okay, but I need to know the reason, and the secret of this book."
"If the secrets contained in this book are valuable enough, I can pay you a certain reward."
“That makes sense.” Cyril nodded, then said, “There’s a hidden world within that book, which was discovered by the messenger you summoned last time.”
"He was recently cursed and was in very poor condition. The environment of the world in Grosser's Travels was suitable for him to recuperate."
"If you have any concerns, we can sign a contract under the witness of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom."
After hearing his explanation, Edwina exclaimed with barely concealed surprise, "The world of books!"
"Did the various vanished owners of 'The Travels of Grosser' enter the world within its pages?"
Cyril nodded slightly: "Perhaps."
"However, I don't recommend you try it. You can get in, but you might not be able to get out."
Edwina nodded thoughtfully, then continued, "Do you plan to only send your messenger in to recuperate, or do you also intend to explore the world within the book?"
"Also, what is the method to enter the world within the book?"
Cyril shook his head slightly: "I don't know the correct method, but I am a traveler. After my messenger goes in, I might be able to force my way in by following the contractual link."
"However, this method is not guaranteed to succeed; the positioning within and outside the world in the book is a very troublesome issue."
Edwina nodded and said, "I understand."
"If you successfully enter the world of the book, I hope you can share with me what you saw and heard in that world."
"Furthermore, unless there is no other choice, I hope that you and your messenger will not meddle in the world depicted in the book, nor in 'The Travels of Grosse'."
It caused irreparable damage.
"As long as you're on the Golden Dream, you can borrow this book anytime, no rental fee required, but I need you to take me into the world within the book after you succeed."
"No problem!" Sirion immediately agreed.
Afterwards, Edwina drafted a contract with the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" as witness.
The moment he signed the contract, Cyril felt a blur before his eyes and seemed to see an old man holding an open book.
He blinked, and everything vanished, as if it had all been a hallucination.
He glanced at the parchment that was disintegrating into a faint brassy sheen, and pondered: "The God of Knowledge and Wisdom has given a response and personally witnessed this covenant."
The illusion I just saw was probably a glimpse of reality after my inspiration was triggered.
While she was thinking, Edwina had already taken out the book made of brown parchment from her collection room.
The dark brown cover bore a line of Old Fussac script: "The Travels of Grossell".
I hope you succeed.
"I've always been lucky."
After leaving Edwina's captain's cabin, Cyril took "The Travels of Grossell" and found Klein and Danitz chatting in the ship's mess hall.
Upon seeing the book in his hand, Danitz stood up in surprise: "Isn't this the captain's collection? Why is it in your hands?"
"What did you just do?"
Why don't you take a guess?
I bet you're a piece of shit!
While inwardly complaining, Danitz said calmly, "Your rooms are ready. I'll take you there."
After the two followed Danitz out of the dining hall, Cyril suddenly turned his head and asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to come aboard the 'Golden Dream'?"
Danitz, who was walking ahead, also quietly pricked up his ears.
Klein maintained Gehrman Sparrow's indifference, saying simply and detachedly, "I plan to leave Bayam, but haven't decided where to go yet."
Actually, I'm not sure if that demigod from the Rose School will continue to retaliate against me, so it's safer to stay by your side since you're good at running away.
Although you seem to have more trouble...
The best option is still to let the "wriggling hunger" graze a "traveler".
"Bayam is definitely not a good place for me to stay any longer."
Cyril nodded and sighed, then his figure flickered and he went directly from the corridor into the room prepared for him.
After walking a few steps, Klein pushed open another door, went inside, and then closed it.
Danitz, realizing that no one had paid any attention to him from beginning to end, spat and turned back to his room.
In the room, after placing "The Travels of Grosser" on the desk, Cyril cast out his harmonica, imbued it with spirituality, and played it briefly.
After a few seconds of silence, Erdfana's voice suddenly rang out from the side: "So it was this book. No wonder it touched my soul back then, no wonder that guy Herabogen was watching me."
"I've traced the history; when this book first appeared, Levi-Hilde hadn't disappeared yet..."

"So, Angelweid actually imagined two 'cities of miracles'?"
