dock appeared on the screen. A ship slowly approached the shore, its whistle blaring. A subtitle read: Damir Port White Agate.
This! Klein's eyes widened slightly, a sudden thought coming to his mind that seemed absurd.
[The scene zooms in. Many people disembark here, including a familiar face wearing a black woolen coat and a half-high silk hat.]
Gehrman Sparrow!
With the exception of the Moretti siblings, who were unfamiliar with the extraordinary world, everyone present recognized this face. Before they could even consider anything, the scene on the screen fast-forwarded.
A young brother and sister took advantage of their parents' inattention to greet Gehrman. The stern-faced adventurer smiled back.
"Shit!" Danitz cursed subconsciously, and when he noticed everyone else looking at him, he shrank back, still muttering in disbelief in his heart. There was no way that madman could have such a gentle expression, absolutely!
And now he also remembered when this happened. It was very likely that he would see himself make an appearance next! And it would be a very embarrassing appearance!
Thinking of that inhumane experience, Danitz shuddered.
Derrick looked at him strangely. In his impression, this messenger of God had always been friendly and dignified. The words that just came out of his mouth did not sound like what a messenger of God should say.
"Now I'm going to explain some rules," the voice said again. "If you're not paying attention to the screen, the image will be paused."
At this moment, Hermann's gentle smile was still on the screen. Klein really couldn't look at it directly. If he wasn't wearing Merlin's vest, he would be even more embarrassed.
"Some of you may have guessed that what I showed you all really happened, and it's a secret or dark history that some people would never let others know."
Having said that, the calm tone could not conceal the sense of gloating.
Klein had reason to suspect that this mysterious being had created such a large-scale event just to expose the secrets and dark histories of everyone present and publicly execute them.
What kind of wicked taste is this? It's even worse than Amon's! Klein thought of the monocle and that face that always wore a cheerful smile, and silently changed his words: No, Amon is still worse.
The most important question now is, will "He" reveal my true identity as a time traveler? This is too cruel! Klein didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Others were also silently thinking about their own shameful secrets.
"Don't be afraid, I am also a kind person and will give you a chance to save yourself."
Regardless of whether everyone believed in this voice in their hearts, they all appeared convinced and respectful on the surface.
"After you have finished reading everything, before you leave here, each of you can make the others forget one thing they learned here."
"That's all I have to say. Please continue."
When everyone came out of their own thoughts and focused their attention on the screen, the picture began to change.
At the entrance of a bar, Hermann glanced at the "Flying Fish and Wine" sign and walked over to the wall covered with wanted posters. The huge screen and high-definition images allowed everyone to clearly see every detail of each piece of paper.
"It's all about money..." Hermann paused, watching for a long moment. The figure on the screen didn't open his mouth, but the words came out clearly. A thoughtful reminder appeared in the subtitles below: This is the inner thought.
He even spilled his guts? Is he really going to kill me like that? He's definitely targeting me. He's going to destroy my image! But compared to exposing my Fool identity, the destruction of Hermann's image doesn't seem like a serious problem…
Thinking of this, Klein became even more desperate.
As for whether these inner thoughts were true, no one doubted them. This space was already magical enough that it wasn't hard to imagine that it could reveal a person's inner thoughts.
"Mr. World is indeed a money-lover, but that's not a flaw. He's a principled, kind gentleman. It's okay if he likes money a little; it makes him much more lovable." Audrey pursed her lips guiltily, afraid that others would notice her evaluation of Hermann.
Leonard almost laughed when he saw the inner voice. This was truly in line with Klein's characteristics.
Danitz's mood wasn't so good, however. He felt that this was the cold-blooded and crazy adventurer he knew. In his eyes, all pirates were walking gold medals, including himself!
Fors was even more afraid of German. This crazy adventurer really didn't care about those living people at all. He just wanted to turn those poor pirates into money. No wonder he often used his extraordinary characteristics.
[The scene changes, and Hermann is already sitting in the bar.
"Want to play cards? A man pointed to the stairs on the side of the bar and said to Hermann.
"No." Hermann refused coldly.
The captain reached out as if to pat his shoulder, but paused, retracted his hand, adjusted his dark red coat, and warned him, "Don't look for women here."
Hermann nodded, picked up his beer and took a sip.
*Also, don't trust anyone here. Only a small part of what they say is true." The captain said as he stepped onto the stairs leading to the second floor.
Gehrman glanced sideways at him, his expression unchanged as he asked, "Including you?"
"...Maybe." The captain was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "At least my warning just now was true. Well, it's also true that I'm a man!"
Gehrman looked away and drank in silence.
"That's not necessarily true... There is a kind of magic potion in this world called witch."
Although there were no subtitles this time, everyone understood that this was Hermann's inner thoughts being expressed.
Leonard grinned silently, his smile was very conscienceless. Was Klein traumatized by the witch?
*Potion?" Melissa asked quietly. Benson was the only one present who looked confused.
Audrey knew what Melissa wanted to ask, and she also understood that as the images played out, they would inevitably learn many secrets. So she answered without hiding anything, "It's just as you thought. What you drank was a magic potion."
Melissa had drunk the potion? When did it happen? Did Klein know? Questions popped up in Leonard's mind.
Melissa hadn't expected that her secret had already been known by Miss Audrey, but her astonishment subsided when she heard Audrey's voice.
"After drinking the potion, people who possess special abilities are called Beyonders. You should have guessed that everyone here, except your brother, is a Beyonder."
Klein silently added: And except for a few embarrassing Sequence 5 players, all the Beyonders here are demigods... Thinking about it this way, my social circle is still quite powerful.
After Klein divined that it was harmless, he picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip. His eyes lit up. It was sweet iced tea!
No one interrupted Audrey's explanation. Although what she was talking about now was the basics of the mysterious world, as they watched, they might have some questions of their own. With this explanation in mind, others could discuss it later.
Benson suddenly realized something and looked at Leonard fiercely: "Are you also a Beyonder? Then, what about Klein?"
Leonard knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he could only nod and admit, "He is, too, and an official Beyonder of the Church of the Evernight Goddess."
Is he really an official of the Church of Evernight? How did Mr. World do it? Isn't he Mr. Fool's favored one? Audrey listened in silence, quietly giving the emotionally charged siblings a few soothing words.
Melissa took a deep breath, her voice hoarse: "How did he die?"
Leonard didn't know if what he was about to watch would reveal Klein's resurrection, but for now he could only pretend it wasn't happening. If it did, he could explain it later. But if this dimension hadn't been exposed, and he'd told Benson and Melissa about it... he might have to attend the next Tarot meeting with Beyonder characteristics.
Leonard's expression turned serious. "I didn't lie to you about this. He is the hero who saved Tingen."
"Klein and our captain stopped the Evil God's offspring from descending! They protected everyone in Tingen!"
Seeing Melissa and Benson fighting back tears, Klein sighed inwardly, but he had already decided to cut off contact with his family.
"If the following content reveals the secret of my resurrection, let them forget about it." Klein pondered while holding a sweet iced tea.
Fors and Xio exchanged a glance, each seeing surprise and admiration in the other's eyes. Although they didn't know who Klein was, the fact that he had sacrificed himself to stop the evil god and succeeded was enough to earn their respect.
Azik glanced at Leonard and then looked away. If Klein hadn't revealed his identity to the siblings, he naturally wouldn't have done anything unnecessary.
Although other people are more sensitive about the offspring of the evil god, after all, it involves no one they know, and it is also someone else's sore spot, so naturally no one will get to the bottom of the matter.
Everyone was waiting for the brother and sister to calm down so they could continue watching.
Although I was a little confused about being brought here, I was a little excited when I thought about seeing some things that I would never have known otherwise.Gehrman walked into a quiet, dark alley. Suddenly, he stopped, turned around, and said in a low voice, "Come out."
After four or five seconds of silence, a figure emerged from the darkness and chuckled, saying, "Very perceptive."
This man was wearing a black cloak, looking about thirty years old, with burnt-yellow eyebrows and bright, deep blue eyes. His features were not too profound.
At this moment, everyone, whether they knew him or not, turned their gazes to Danitz, who wanted to bury his head under the table.
Anderson patted his shoulder with emotion, "I didn't expect you to be so brave back then. You even dared to provoke Gehrman."
Although the others didn't say anything, the meanings revealed in their eyes were similar.
Bullshit! Danitz cursed inwardly. If he had known what would happen next, he would have been crazy to provoke that lunatic!
Under Gehrman's icy gaze, Danitz continued to chatter confidently, promising all sorts of promising prospects in an attempt to woo him. This section of the content was mercilessly fast-forwarded.
After talking for a long time, he coughed and said, "I forgot to introduce myself."
Danitz's expression turned serious, no longer as humorous as before: "A subordinate of Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina Edwards, the fourth boatswain
After a second, Germann spoke in a low voice, "Is it 'Flame' Danitz, with a bounty of 3,000 pounds?"
The next moment, a strange and terrifying feeling almost seeped out from the image, and Danitz froze visibly. The source of this feeling, Gehrman Sparrow, was silent for a moment before speaking again: "Why are you here?"
"I-I'm on vacation..." As soon as he finished speaking, the terrifying feeling that was gnawing at his flesh and soul disappeared.
With the creeping hunger, my crazy adventurer character is perfect.]
Although everyone present knew that Hermann's identity was not real, they hadn't expected that even his personality was fake. But what kind of person would pretend to be a madman?
Sharon and Maric exchanged a glance. They both knew that Hermann and Sherlock were the same person, so it wasn't surprising. Then, they both looked at Emlyn, who sat at their table with a bewildered expression, with eyes that showed concern for a fool.
Regardless of his true nature, Mr. World was truly terrifying, able to disguise his coldness and madness so flawlessly! Fors hugged Hugh and trembled.
Audrey's eyes flickered, and she had a guess in mind: "This must be when Mr. World first started using the identity of Hermann. He only had a general idea of the identity and was still refining the details. Yeah, you can see it in the previous footage. He had a gentle expression back then."
Gehrman Sparrow's character has collapsed. What does this have to do with me, Merlin Hermes?
The protagonist in the picture is still Hermann, standing at the bow, with the brother and sister who greeted him earlier. At this time, a passenger carrying luggage walks onto the deck.
Although traces of makeup were visible, it was still obvious, Danitz. Alger held his forehead. This guy's disguise skills were as bad as ever.
Edwina began to think about whether to add a camouflage class for the crew.
Danitz walked towards the cabin, looking around as he thought to himself:
"Ah, just like what Emperor Roselle said, capable people always work a little harder..."
Gehrman, standing at the bow, looked at Danitz, who had already spotted him, and smiled politely.
"You two are really destined to meet. Maybe this is fate." Anderson gloated.
[The scene jumps to show the two of them standing at the door of a cabin. Gehrman points inside and says to Danitz, "Put the things on the table in the suitcase."
What? Clean up? I'll help you clean up? Danitz froze there, his inner voice filled with rage roaring out of the screen.
How could I. "Flame" Danitz, the fourth boatswain of "Vice Admiral Iceberg." a renowned pirate with a £3,000 bounty, be treated like a servant? My dignity and reputation will not allow me to accept such an insult!
Germann's cold eyes swept over him, and Danitz's body trembled instantly.
He took a breath, and replied with a smile that was uglier than crying:
"Okay."
Then he bent down and entered the room, deftly placing the scattered items into the suitcase one by one, arranging them very neatly.
Everyone's glances at Danitz suddenly became strange. From listening to his thoughts, they thought he was a tough guy, but they didn't expect him to be so cowardly.
Danitz's face flushed red, not daring to look at anyone. Although this seemed embarrassing enough, he knew that his dark history had only just begun!
Klein, who also knew what was going to happen next, was in a good mood. He had thought German's character was going to collapse, but he didn't expect all the attention to be drawn to Danitz. Tsk tsk, a public execution was truly tragic.
Danitz followed German, carrying his suitcase, into room 312. The subtitles. below read: Danitz bought a first-class cabin.
Hermann glanced at the armchair. For my character's sake...
He found a hardwood chair and sat down.]
*Poof!" Melissa covered her mouth, but couldn't help laughing.
Seeing the others' puzzled looks, Melissa explained quietly, "I just think this gentleman is... interesting. He may look cold, but he's actually quite thoughtful. He clearly loves easy chairs, but he sits on a hardwood chair just to maintain his persona. I think his true personality is different from what he pretends to be."
"Sister, why did you divert everyone's attention to me? Isn't it fun to watch Danitz being bullied? Klein felt helpless.
Realizing that Melissa had stumbled upon Mr. World's true nature, Audrey instinctively began to analyze: She had never heard of Gehrman Sparrow, nor did she know what the name represented. Her entire understanding of Gehrman came from these images. Without the preconceived notion of Gehrman as a crazy adventurer, Melissa was the quickest to see the truth!
This was fine. After all, they were Mr. World's family, so he'd probably be happy if they understood him... By the way, was Mr. World even here? Audrey once again observed the few people she didn't recognize.
Azik remembered how well-behaved Klein always was in front of him and nodded in agreement. "It's indeed very different."
Upon hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked at Azik. They didn't know this person, but the other party's tone sounded as if he was very familiar with German and even knew his true personality. Moreover, these words clearly indicated that German was not as cold and crazy as he appeared.
But what kind of personality does he have? Gentle and timid?
Everyone shook off the thought. It was impossible, absolutely impossible. Could a gentle and timid person do the things that Hermann had done?
Only a few people were not surprised and understood that this was the truth.
[Hermann stood by the window, looking out at a large ship flying a red skull flag.
"You have two choices. One is to crawl out by yourself and hang there in plain sight, and the other is to be hung there in plain sight by me by the collar."
"What do you want to do?" Danitz asked without thinking.
Germann smiled amiably. "Showing you to the pirates should be enough to dissuade them from their duties as Vice Admiral Iceberg's fourth boatswain."
"No, we can't do this!" Danitz tried to struggle.
Hermann's smile grew even kinder. "I'm an easygoing person, really. As long as you follow my instructions."
Danitz weighed the pros and cons for a second, then half-raised his hands: "I can do it myself."
He climbed out of the window, supported by his elbows, and hung outside the cabin. After the ship disappeared from sight, Danitz crawled back into the room and snorted, "You're riding on our captain's reputation! She hates this kind of thing!"
Gehrman looked thoughtful. "I remember her bounty in Loen was 26,000 pounds?"
When Danitz wanted to get rid of Gehrman and return to the ship, he said he was abused, but out of pride and shame, he did not elaborate on what he had experienced. Edwina also just learned about the situation her crew members were in with German, but she didn't expect that she would almost become the target of this crazy adventurer.
Although he already knew that his coldness and madness were just a disguise, this icy lieutenant general still couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
As for Danitz? Edwina felt that he had made great progress in all aspects since following Gerhman's side, which was a good thing.
[Under the dimming light, the White Agate docked at a port again, with the subtitles below: Bansi (Binsi) Port]
Seeing this name, everyone in the Tarot Club perked up. They all knew that this was the location of an Angel King, but only the "world" who had experienced it knew what happened. But from now on, they would be able to witness it all with their own eyes.
Binsi... Sharon stared at the word and thought of the ruins she explored with Sherlock and the evil spirits inside.
[The scene zooms in on the room where German is. Danitz opens the door and a man walks in. Subtitle: Former Adventurer
The former adventurer stared at Danitz for a few moments, then turned to ask German, "Flame' Danitz?"
Just as he was about to leave, Hermann said solemnly, "Return to the ship as soon as possible. There is a hidden danger in Bansy Harbor."
He really was always thinking about maintaining his persona. Leonard felt complicated when he thought of Klein, who always had to put on Gehrman's cold face when they met privately.
Audrey didn't know whether to sympathize with Danitz, whose reputation was damaged, or Gehrman, who was trying hard to maintain his image.
You're already a mature audience member, Audrey. Don't laugh, but the interactions between Mr. World and Mr. Danitz are truly fascinating. How did Mr. World know about the danger at Bansy Harbor back then? Did Mr. Fool tell him? Being a Favored One is truly a blessing.
However, thinking about how she often received help from Mr. Fool, Audrey became cheerful again.
