In addition, Odis thought: if Bernadette were an ordinary extraordinary being, she would definitely leave as soon as she realized that Bansi Port was in danger, but she was a very powerful demigod, and might even investigate out of curiosity.
That's the most dangerous thing!
Because Odis remembers that the danger in Bansi Port comes from the source material "City of Calamity"!
After a little thought, Odis decided to use the "travel ring" to go to Bansi Port.
If you're just looking for someone and not doing anything reckless like conducting an investigation, the danger is still within acceptable limits.
The descendants of Medici seem to have been corrupted by the "City of Calamity," and those bloody "local customs" are a manifestation of their corruption.
However, if you don't investigate further, you will only encounter monsters caused by the local "evil god worship". There is only a very small chance of encountering the descendants of Medici, and you will not be affected by the pollution of the "City of Calamity".
For Odis, such risks were within acceptable limits.
After a moment's thought, he said to Bernadette's personal maid, "Go quickly and fetch Lady Daphne. Tell her that the 'Queen' may be in danger, and I have a few questions to ask her."
Daphne is Bernadette's assistant and secretary, and Odis wanted to confirm Bernadette's schedule with her.
To avoid the elementary mistake of him going to Bansi Port while Bernadette had already gone somewhere else.
Knowing that Odis wouldn't lie about such a thing, the maid quickly went to fetch Lady Daphne.
Odis returned to her residence, changed into a Rune-style outfit, took out some spiritual materials from the "Wilderness of Knowledge," and brought along a modified wooden staff.
A dozen minutes later, Odis returned to the restaurant, and after waiting a short while, Daphne arrived: "Mr. Odis, what happened?"
"I've received intelligence that Bansi Port is in danger in the next few days." Odis had already prepared a lie for the situation: "And I just learned that the 'Queen' is currently in Bansi Port?"
Daphne didn't answer Odis's question, but asked with some confusion, "How come we didn't receive such information?"
Odis replied, "I have a very sophisticated intelligence network in Backlund."
His seemingly irrelevant answer was actually a veiled way of implying that he had a very well-established intelligence agency.
However, Odis has not yet re-established contact with this intelligence agency.
Daphne also knew that although Odis was the "Queen's" subordinate, the "Queen" valued Odis's research and trusted Odis very much.
She thought for a moment before saying, "Yes, according to the plan, the 'Queen' will go to Bansi Port this afternoon to complete a huge transaction. She should have dinner there and then rush back."
Odis then asked, "If I were to go looking for her, where could I find her?"
"The Queen loves the specialties made from animal blood on Bansi Island, and she always makes sure to try them whenever she's in the area," Daphne said. "You can find her at the Lime Restaurant."
Odis nodded: "Don't make this news public yet."
To avoid causing panic among the people of Lacha Island.
"I know," Daphne said. "Do you need any help?"
Odis smiled and said, "It would be more convenient for me to do it myself."
As he spoke, he used the "Travel Ring," and a phantom door appeared beside him.
A few minutes later, Odis's spiritual senses told him that he had arrived in the spirit world corresponding to "Bansi Harbor".
The spirit realm ahead appeared somewhat distorted and turbulent, as if a terrifying storm was brewing in the illusory space.
The spirits are all fleeing from that place.
Just from this point of view, you can tell that it is very dangerous there now.
Odis arrived in the real world, at a beach on an island.
The wind was strong on the beach, and the waves were whipped up by the wind, making it seem like a rain that was sometimes heavy and sometimes light.
Odis first recited Bernadette's name, but there was no response.
While he was reciting the name of the revered one, Odis was already soaked. He wiped his face, put on a mask, and braved the strong wind and night to head towards the lighthouse.
A dozen minutes later, he arrived at the port's dock and saw several ships moored in the strong wind.
After a quick glance, Odis noticed the words "White Agate" on the port side of the bow of one of the large steamships.
The ship also has huge sails and more than a dozen gun emplacements on each side.
For a passenger ship, this level of firepower is already quite strong.
Odis smiled slightly: "The Fool's follower has indeed arrived here."
His expression immediately turned serious, because it meant that it was really dangerous here tonight.
But Odis, who knew the monsters' weaknesses, did not back down and hurried toward the port city where there were faint lights.
After walking a few steps, Odis noticed that the wind around him had died down and a thin mist was rising.
As he walked forward, he removed the disguise from the top of his staff, revealing a short sword inside.
At the same time, Odis slowed his pace, because he remembered that in the mist there were some desiccated heads flying in mid-air, biting people.
But they are not difficult to deal with; having a long weapon is enough to take them down.
After walking for four or five minutes, Odis finally saw the outline of the buildings, which proved that he had entered the edge of the port city.
Generally speaking, these small port cities have a distance between the urban area and the port. This distance was originally used to defend against pirates. Even if pirates successfully landed, this distance could be used to organize a second line of defense.
Later, as the Stormy Seas gradually prospered, this distance was still preserved. This was to ensure that there was enough space for the port's goods to be transferred to land transport without causing any congestion, so this planning design has been retained.
The fog started from this "midpoint distance".
As Odis was about to search for houses with lights and inquire about the location of the Lime Restaurant, his intuition suddenly made him look to his side and behind him.
There was a faint light flickering there, like a will-o'-the-wisp staring at Odis.
Visibility was low, and Odis couldn't make out what it was. He put one hand in his pocket, ready to use the corresponding magic at any moment.
After about two or three seconds, Odis saw a dark shadow behind the light. It looked like a person, but it could also be a monster.
The other side also spotted Odis and suddenly stopped there.
Odis quickly realized that the light was from the lamp in the other person's hand. Extraordinary beings of the "Spy" pathway have amazing eyesight. Odis hadn't carried a lamp at night for a long time, so he hadn't thought of this for a moment.
"Who are you?" Odis shouted.
Since it's a lamp, it must be a human.
The other person didn't reply, but walked towards them. At that moment, another figure appeared behind him; it turned out there was someone else following him.
Odis gripped his weapon tightly and quickly made out the outline of the other man's face. He was a young man wearing a silk top hat and a double-breasted long dress. His face had distinct features and a sharp, cold look.
Although Odis's spiritual senses didn't perceive anything familiar, he guessed that this guy was probably Gehrman Sparrow, Klein's new identity.
The person opposite him was Klein. He chose to walk quickly forward instead of immediately drawing his gun because his intuition sensed that the person in front of him was very familiar.
Upon closer inspection, the person was wearing a white shirt and black trench coat in the style of Rune, with an ordinary top hat. But when Klein saw the mask, he knew that the person in front of him was "Mr. Garr"!
Because it was a mask worn by the "leader," and after being promoted to "Faceless Man," Klein became extremely perceptive about other people's height and build.
The man in front of them was almost identical to "Mr. Garr" in both height and build.
Then Klein recalled the Hermit's speech at the Tarot meeting and learned that the Hermit had also been forced to leave Backlund.
Klein had no idea that he would run into the other party here.
Odis asked again, "Who are you?"
Then he looked behind Klein at the man in his twenties with sallow eyebrows and blue eyes.
Odis thought to herself, "This must be 'Big Girl'!"
"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking someone's name?" Klein, who had the face of Gehrman Sparrow, said. "It's basic courtesy."
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
At that moment, he was thinking to himself: You probably can't imagine, but I know you are "Mr. Gar," the behind-the-scenes owner of "Nanmu Dance Hall," and I also know you are "The Hermit."
Odis casually replied, "My name is Bob."
Klein was about to make up a name on the spot, but considering that Danitz was present and that he needed to maintain the persona of "German Sparrow," he coldly said, "German Sparrow."
Following behind Klein, Danitz seemed to suddenly sense that the atmosphere eased immediately after the two "announced their names".
He was somewhat puzzled. They just knew each other's names, so why did it feel like they had suddenly gone from strangers to old friends?
Klein asked coldly, "Aren't you a local?"
"Yes," Odis said, "I'm here to find someone."
Ugh~
A sudden gust of wind swept through, stirring up the thick fog.
All three people sensed the threat. Two dark shadows the size of watermelons were flying rapidly toward them. Klein swung his cane and sent one of them flying backward. Then, a pure and clear light descended from the sky and landed on the shadow!
That's a head!
A head that has lost its body and is hanging from the esophagus!
The moment the light struck its head, it let out a piercing scream.
Meanwhile, Odis, who had already figured out how to deal with this thing, stepped forward and stabbed another head with the short sword at the end of his staff.
Sizzle~
Sparks flew everywhere, and the head, amidst a piercing scream, quickly withered and died.
Odis swung his staff, throwing the head off the dagger and smashing it to pieces like a watermelon.
Danitz, standing behind, smiled and said, "I didn't even have a chance to make a move."
He thought to himself: This guy's extraordinary weapon looks really strange, but it seems pretty powerful.
Odis glanced at Klein: "The sudden appearance of thick fog is a bit strange. Let's move forward together."
Klein nodded: "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the Lime Restaurant to find someone."
After the battle, they had developed a great deal of mutual trust.
Klein was slightly taken aback: "Let's go together, we're also going to Lime Restaurant."
The two men kept a watchful eye on their surroundings as they walked quickly forward, with Danitz keeping up: Why do I feel like they know each other so well?
At this point, Odis asked, "Do you know where the Lime Restaurant is?"
"I don't know." Klein pointed behind him. "He knows."
Danitz smiled, about to boast a bit about the Lime Restaurant, when he suddenly heard the guy called "Bob" say, "Then hurry up and lead the way?"
The smile on Danitz's face vanished.
Klein coldly replied, "Lead the way!"
Danitz cursed under his breath, "bullshit," but had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the front.
Fortunately, the Green Lemon Restaurant wasn't far from here. After dealing with a few more flying heads, four or five minutes later they saw a few somewhat bewildered people standing on the street ahead.
They have both men and women, and two children around ten years old.
"Uncle Sparrow!" the two children shouted almost simultaneously.
These people were the merchant Uldi and his family, along with his hired bodyguards, led by Crivus, and the two children were Uldi's daughter and son, Donna and Denton.
Klein tossed the lantern to Danitz, picked up his cane, and calmly asked, "Where are the Deimor family?"
Those were the other two passengers on the "White Agate".
Uldi replied, "They're still in the restaurant."
At this moment, Odis had already passed the crowd and spotted the Lime Restaurant not far away.
He first reached out and knocked on the door: "Open the door."
No one responded.
At this moment, the head of the bodyguards, Crivus, said, "There is a strange custom here: in Bansi, on foggy nights and nights with drastic weather changes, it is best not to go out or answer knocks."
Odis nodded: "Then I won't force them."
As he spoke, he sprinkled a small handful of powder that looked like tiny pearls.
Click~
The latch inside was broken by an invisible force, and the two doors were opened.
"Look, the people here are quite hospitable," Odis said, before stepping inside first.
Danitz, carrying a lantern, thought to himself: This guy may not be as crazy as Sparrow, but he is definitely cunning and doesn't follow the rules.
As soon as Odis entered, the chubby restaurant owner, Fox, asked, "What do you want to do?"
Odis seemed not to notice the other person's strange way of punctuating his sentence. He took out a portrait of Bernadette that he had prepared beforehand: "I'm looking for this person."
Fox's eyes suddenly narrowed, and the hairs on his body seemed to stand on end: "She shouldn't be here."
