In Bansi Port, at the Lime Restaurant.
After hearing the restaurant owner Fox's reply, Odis asked, "Why do you say that?"
Fox did not answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at Klein and the others who had barged in, and then looked at Odis again, as if he had no intention of answering the question.
Odis had no choice but to press the short sword on his staff against Fawkes's heart.
Donna and Denton, upon seeing this, were so frightened that they held their breath.
Fox then replied, "Her eyes are too sharp; she might see things she shouldn't see."
Odis frowned; this was his biggest worry: "Where is she now?"
"You can go to the Chamber of Commerce and try your luck. She's friends with the Chamber's president, Cyril," Fox said, using his unique way of punctuating his sentences.
Odis then put away his weapon: "How do I get to the Merchant Guild?"
"Go out, turn left, it's next to the church."
Odis smiled and said, "Thank you."
After saying that, he stepped aside and gave his seat to Klein.
Klein, playing Ger Mansparo, stares at Fox with a cold gaze: "Where are the Deimordos?"
Fox avoided eye contact with him and awkwardly turned his head away, saying, "There's another table upstairs, with people from out of town."
Klein coldly ordered, "Let them come down."
Fox remained silent for several seconds until Klein swiftly drew his gun and aimed it at Fox's head.
He took a breath and sent a waiter to the second floor.
Odis laughed, mimicking Fox's tone, "You're like a spinning top, you won't spin unless you're whipped."
Danitz smiled slightly, which eased the tense atmosphere considerably.
After picking up the Demerdo family, Klein put away his revolver and politely bowed slightly to his boss, Fox, saying, "Excuse me."
As he spoke, he gestured for the others to leave first, and he left at the last moment.
Clang~
The door of the Lime Restaurant slammed shut, swaying slightly in the wind.
At the moment the door closed, Odis's spirituality sensed a subtle change in the surrounding atmosphere, but this change quickly disappeared.
He pretended not to notice, lest he ignite the enormous hidden danger in Ban Si Port.
Klein's spirituality seemed to have also sensed the subtle change. He was clearly taken aback for a moment before making the same choice as Odis.
Then he said to Odis, "We also need to go to the telegraph office over at the church. Let's continue walking together. You walk behind."
At this time, most of the dozen or so people in the team were ordinary people.
For Klein, only Danitz and "Mr. Gar" could be his helpers; the three bodyguards were basically of no help.
Odis said, "Alright."
He walked at the very back of the group, holding a weapon.
Klein, who was leading the way, reached out and touched the "Sun Brooch." An invisible force spread outward rapidly, surging like waves across everyone present.
Odis and the others felt as if they had arrived in the south and were basking in the sunlight, which dispelled all the chill in their bodies.
Other ordinary people were no longer so nervous and worried, as if they had regained their own courage.
Klein drew his pistol again, gripping his cane in his other hand, and repeated, "Go to the telegraph office first."
They had only taken a few steps when three moldy, shriveled heads flew out of the thin mist ahead and rushed toward Odis and the others from different directions.
Just as Odis was about to repeat his previous trick and stab one of the heads.
But they suddenly changed their flight direction. Odis, with his spiritual senses, saw a brass whistle being thrown into the air at the front of the procession.
Believing that it must be the bronze whistle that Mr. Azik gave to Klein, the three withered heads around him quickly flew towards the bronze whistle.
Meanwhile, Odis discovered that something else had been drawn to the bronze whistle.
To the left rear of the group, two figures wearing black cloaks appeared. They were headless, blood was gushing from their necks, and they were making low growls like wild beasts.
The instant they rushed toward them, Odis scattered a handful of golden powder, which spread through the air and, in less than a second, emitted an intense sunlight as intense as midsummer.
The two headless corpses that were running suddenly stopped and turned to run back, but it was too late. Even though they were not directly in the sunlight, they were still being exposed to the intense sunlight and were emitting white smoke.
Amidst piercing screams, flames erupted from the two corpses, and they collapsed to the ground, motionless, after only a few steps.
Odis smiled to himself. He remembered that these guys were all undead monsters, so he prepared a lot of that kind of spiritual powder.
Danitz was somewhat surprised by the power of this magic, for he had certainly seen "wizards" on the high seas.
But I've never seen any "wizard" with such powerful witchcraft!
This made Danitz wonder: Could this "Bob" be a Sequence 6? But why didn't he use a scroll? If he were a Sequence 7, how could he possess such powerful "witchcraft"?
That was actually developed by Odis, an enhanced version of the "Sunfire Spell". The ordinary "Sunfire Spell" did not have such great power.
At this moment, Klein also used the "Sun Brooch" to deal with the three heads, and the ordinary people around were already pale with fright.
They saw flying heads, and headless corpses that could still run – of course they saw all of these.
One of them, Demodo, who was in his thirties, asked in a panic, "What, what is that?"
Uldi's daughter, Donna, was calmer than the adults: "We'll ask when we get back to the White Agate."
After saying that, she raised a finger and put it to her lips, making a "shush" gesture.
This is a gesture that Gehrman Sparrow made on the "White Agate," and the little girl imitated it.
The intense sunlight emitted by the "Blazing Sun" spell quickly disappeared. Dimerdo saw a masked young man holding a weapon at the back of the group, seemingly unaffected. Perhaps it was the sunlight, but he actually saw a divine aura emanating from this young man.
Dimperor swallowed hard, took his wife's hand, and didn't say a word.
Klein didn't take it too seriously, after all, he had seen this "Mr. Gar" display his power and control a "Desire Apostle": "Keep going."
With these two people protecting them from the front and back, the others felt much more at ease and immediately followed.
Odis was at the back of the procession, keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a man wearing a yellow hat walking quickly past on his left.
Odis turned his head sharply to the left, but saw nothing.
This made Odis take a deep breath and look carefully around. Where was there anyone wearing a yellow hat?
But his spirituality reminded him that he hadn't misread anything.
At this moment, Danitz, who was walking in the middle of the group, noticed that "Bob" seemed to be checking something, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
Odis said, "You...it's nothing..."
Danitz clearly did not see the man in the yellow hat, so Odis simply did not ask any further questions, but instead remained cautious and observant.
However, his spiritual sense did not detect any danger. There are only two reasons for this feedback: one is that the other party is not dangerous.
Another reason is that the other party was too dangerous and of a higher level, completely concealing their dangerous aura, or Odis's spirituality simply "crashed".
Regardless of the reason, Odis had no intention of actively investigating it.
Soon, the group arrived at the telegraph office, where they learned from the female telegraph operator, who also had strange punctuation, that Captain Ellan of the "White Agate," whom Klein was looking for, had gone to the church next door.
After the group arrived at the church entrance without any major incident, Odis said, "Gentlemen, I'm going to the merchant guild next door, so I won't be going to the church with you."
Uldi and the others expressed their gratitude. After all, this was not a passenger on the "White Agate" or someone they knew. He possessed magical abilities and could have walked on his own, but instead he followed behind ordinary people who were all burdens, and even "killed" two headless corpses.
It was clear that they were provided with some protection, so everyone expressed their sincere gratitude.
Klein suddenly said, "I'll take them to the church first, then I'll go to the Chamber of Commerce with you."
If it were any other extraordinary individual, he would at most advise them to return to the "White Agate" with him and come back to find them the next morning. If they didn't listen, he would simply leave them alone.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
But "Mr. Garr" is different. Klein cannot reveal the potential dangers in Bansie Port, because that could be the trigger that makes things dangerous, but he also does not want to see "Mr. Garr" die here without knowing why.
Odis did not refuse: "Okay."
After watching Klein lead his men into the Storm Church, Odis went to the door of the nearby Merchant Guild and knocked on the door.
Soon, a somewhat sinister male voice came from inside: "Welcome to the Bansi Chamber of Commerce. How can I help you?"
The voice was clearly cold and icy, like some distorted recording.
"I'm looking for your president." Odis once again ignored the other party's strange way of punctuating his sentences and did not rush in.
The sinister male voice replied, "I'm sorry, the president isn't here. Please come back tomorrow."
Odis asked again, "Where did he go?"
"It might be the Green Lemon Restaurant. The chairman mentioned that a distinguished guest dined there."
Odis said somewhat impatiently, "That's where I came from, and I didn't find him."
Then he asked, "Do you know where that distinguished guest, whom your president was entertaining, is now?"
The so-called "distinguished guest" is very likely the "mysterious queen" Bernadette.
A sinister voice came from inside the door: "You can go to the chairman's house and try your luck."
"He lives at number 15 on the next street."
Odis nodded: "Okay, thank you."
Just as he was about to turn and leave, the voice from inside the door said again, "Please be careful, there's a man wearing a yellow hat."
Oddi immediately withdrew his foot: "Why should we be careful of him?"
"He is also looking for that distinguished guest."
Odis asked, "Who is that?"
"He was dead, for a very long time, and now suddenly, he's come back to life." The other person's voice grew increasingly faint, as if it were getting further and further away from the doorway.
Odis froze for a few seconds: Wasn't the Medici family's descendants supposed to be hiding in Bansi Port? Theoretically, they should be using the "Hunter" pathway, so why aren't they zombies? Or are they people who have "come back to life"?
However, he quickly came to a logical guess: it was very likely that the descendants of Medici had been contaminated, causing them to become somewhat strange and exhibit behaviors beyond those of "Hunter" pathway extraordinary individuals. Under their influence, undead with heads or only bodies appeared.
"What's wrong?" asked the aloof "German Sparrow" as he came out of the church.
"It's nothing," Odis smiled. "I just heard from the person inside that the person I'm looking for should be on the next street."
Klein earnestly played his role: "Let's go then."
"There might be some danger," Odis said frankly.
Klein, however, had already taken a large step forward: "You didn't know those ordinary people, but you still chose to protect them in the end."
"And they are my friends."
Odis followed, thinking to himself: Is this guy acting, or is he just naturally a repressed pervert?
Why not just say, "You protected my friend, so I will help you in return"?
However, in this kind of awful weather, having a trustworthy companion is still very reassuring.
The key point is that Odis doesn't need to worry about Klein being contaminated, since he also has the protection of source matter.
The two walked side by side, and Odis casually asked, "Friend, are you an adventurer?"
Klein carefully observed his surroundings: "Hmm, you too?"
"No, I'm a gourmet."
"I..." Klein felt that Gehrman Sparrow's persona was almost ruined!
foodie?
When you were dealing with those zombies, did you sprinkle pepper on them?
Odis added, "I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."
He planned to get to know the other party again first, since they were both in the same boat and there would definitely be opportunities to cooperate in the future.
"You're mistaken," Klein said bluntly.
Odis chuckled awkwardly: This guy's way of talking is really irritating!
As they were talking, the two of them walked through a small alley and entered the street next door.
Upon arriving on this street, the two immediately sensed that it was even more dangerous than before.
Odis asked, "Do you want to continue?"
"We've come this far." As he spoke, Klein still took the lead and stepped forward.
Odis determined the direction and headed towards number 15.
Just as they were about to reach their destination, the two suddenly stopped. In the thin mist in front of them, a headless figure appeared.
Their spiritual senses indicated that this living corpse was different from the one they had just encountered.
Whew~
Suddenly, dozens of fire crows flew out from behind the zombie. Klein stepped forward and made a gesture as if embracing the sun.
But before he could launch an attack with the "Sun Brooch," a fireball flew from behind the man.
In mid-air there, there was a shriveled head suspended, with an esophagus and spine, surrounded by three fireballs.
Odis looked again at the headless body: Could these two be "a set"?
