Chapter 35 The City of Generosity
Backlund, Jorwood District.
When the crimson light in front of her eyes faded, Fors saw the familiar desk and the open notebook for recording inspiration again.
For her, although there was nothing novel about such an experience, it still made her feel awed from the bottom of her heart.
This is a power that does not belong to human beings, not even demigods!
"The stomach pouch of the spirit eater will be available in two days, and my 'apprentice' potion has been digested... Finally, I am going to become a 'master of tricks', I don't know what kind of extraordinary ability I will get... rely on myself After completing the promotion, the teacher will definitely pay more attention to me. In addition to the potion formula, some extraordinary materials will also be provided to some extent... Looking forward to it, I don’t even know what the corresponding Sequence 6 and Sequence 5 are, I only know the sequence 7 is an 'Astrologer', when you become a 'Master of Magic', write to the teacher immediately..." Forsi felt that she was one step closer to getting rid of the curse of the full moon.
At this moment, she heard a rush of footsteps from near to far, and finally turned into a "clang" of the gate.
"Hugh is out again, so busy." Fors sighed silently, "If she hadn't repaid the 400 pounds owed to Viscount Glaint, we should be vacationing in Disey Bay now."
After a long period of hard work, thanks to the improvement in strength, some commissions that could not be completed before have become easier, and from time to time, he can get some small tasks that pay a lot of money from the man in the golden mask. From 110 pounds to 320 pounds, only 80 pounds left to pay off the debt.
In fact, I can help her with the 80 pounds first, but unfortunately, although she is not tall, she still has a strong self-esteem... Forsi withdrew her thoughts and began to think about the matter entrusted by Mister "World".
As a doctor and a writer, she didn't know much about radios, or even the entire mechanical field. She didn't pay attention to the relevant content when she read the newspapers, and she didn't know where to buy the telegraph that the other party wanted.
"Department stores? It doesn't seem to be... Ah yes, Aville is a writer of science fiction novels, so he should know a lot about it." Fors quickly found someone to ask for advice.
But she immediately had a new problem, that is, to visit directly, or to write to ask?
Glancing at the easy chair covered with thick soft blankets, smelling the aroma of coffee and tobacco permeating the room, and feeling a slow creeping warmth, Forsi's motivation to go out gradually disintegrated.
"I'm not familiar with him, so I shouldn't visit him rashly." She sat down muttering, and spread out the letter paper.

silver city,
Berger's house.
Derrick opened his eyes and woke up from his pretend sleep.
According to his original plan, it was time to hold a sacrificial ceremony and send out the stomach pouch of the spirit eater, but the words of "The Hanged Man" reminded him, making him decide to be more cautious and observe more.
Uh... first gather all the materials Mr. "The Hanged Man" asked for, and complete the sacrifice at once... Derrick was silent for a few seconds, put on the "Hurricane Axe", and went straight to the steeple.
He first checked the current item information at the merit exchange point, and was not in a hurry to complete the transaction. He planned to go to the underground trading market to take a look after the lightning in the sky decreased.
Derrick went up to the third floor and went straight to the myths and legends and ancient classics area of the library, looking for valuable knowledge that he hadn't learned with hunger.
Suddenly, he saw a book with a hard yellow cover:
"Manuscripts of the Book of Black Rock in the King's Court of Giants"
A record handed down directly from the Giant King's Court? I don't know if there is any content related to "King of Angels"... Derrick reached out and pulled out the book, and found that it was bound by sheets of brown monster leather.
At this time, on the upper floor of the library, Colin Iliad, who was wearing a linen shirt and a brown coat, was standing quietly, looking down.
His gray hair, which had not been taken care of, was gently blown by the wind blowing in from the window, and his light blue eyes were deep and restrained.
…………
Wednesday, January 12, at 5:40pm.
The sky is dark, the clouds are rolling, and the dark blue waves are high and low, rising and falling.
The "White Agate" goes up and down in this stormy scene, like a toy in the palm of a giant.
"This is the sea. No matter how powerful it is, it looks small in front of it." Danitz stood at the window, admiring the scene outside. "Fortunately, we are almost arriving at the 'City of Generosity'."
After leaving Bansi Port, the "White Agate" has been sailing smoothly. With the help of the wind, the speed has stabilized at 15 knots. Therefore, it will arrive at Tiana Port only a little later than the scheduled time, half a day earlier than normal Complete all journeys.
In other words, the "White Agate", which was originally scheduled to arrive at the "City of Generosity" on the morning of the 13th, will arrive in Hong Kong on the evening of the 12th.
Hearing Danitz's emotion, Klein just raised his head and glanced at him, then looked away and continued his meditation.
The more he played the role of "Gehrman Sparrow", the more he had to force himself to act in line with his personality at certain times, the more he realized what kind of person he was, When faced with different scenarios, the choice he really wants to make is different from "Gehrman Sparrow".
For example, normally he would respond to Danitz at this time, chatting with him about the weather at sea and the disasters brought about by those terrible storms, but Gehrman Sparrow would not, so he would definitely treat him indifferently and keep quiet.
"The more similar contrasts there are, the more I can recognize myself." Klein sighed sincerely in his heart.
This was an experience he didn't have when he was working as private detective Sherlock Moriarty before, because at that time, he didn't need to pretend his personality, just be himself.
I feel that my potion has digested a bit... However, Gehrman Sparrow also has the same place as me. At least when I chose to disembark and enter Bansi Harbor to save people, my identity and this identity completely overlapped. The difference...Of course, it can also be said that it is for myself to add a character to a certain extent. Beneath the gentleness and madness is a kind, brave, compassionate, and emotional heart. Knowing that Bancy is Bincy, I, I probably would have been scared... Not necessarily, at least the danger that the divination revealed at the time was within an acceptable range... Klein was half concluding and half self-deprecating.
This made him understand a problem more and more. Although acting as a purely fictional person can also help him digest the potion, if he wants to speed up and improve the progress, he really needs to replace an existing identity and gain the affirmation of the other party's interpersonal relationship. Feel the corresponding emotions, immerse but not addicted.
Be anyone, but end up being yourself? And get feedback from the right people? Klein looked at the pale yellow carpet, his mind filled with thoughts.
Seeing that Gehrman Sparrow didn't respond, Danitz helplessly spread his hands, feeling that he was panicking.
Except for letting me do some things that servants do, this crazy guy is very good in other aspects, except for one thing, he doesn’t like to talk and has communication barriers. We are going to Bayam, and we can finally be relieved! Danitz felt that sooner or later he would develop the habit of talking to himself in the similar silence of the other party.
After a while, he saw Gehrman Sparrow looked up, smiled and said:
"You can tell us about the contact points for pirates in Bayam."
... Shit! You'd better not talk! Danitz's expression twisted.
Woo!
At 6:15 in the evening, before the storm, the "White Agate" entered the port smoothly and arrived at Bayam, the capital of Rorsted Islands, the "City of Generosity".
Also known as the Spice Islands, there are all kinds of exotic spices, and the plantations in this area are the backbone of the economy.
Among them, the Blue Mountain Island where Bayam is located occupies more than half of the land area of the archipelago. There are gold, silver, copper, coal, iron and other mineral deposits. The forest coverage rate is high, there are many varieties of fruits, and the land is extremely fertile. Because of this, the first A group of colonists named their city by the sea the "City of Generosity", believing that it was a place of treasures flowing with milk and mead promised by the gods.
Klein picked up the suitcase that Danitz had packed, left room 312, and entered the aisle leading to the deck.
Without accident, he met Donna's family, Cleves and others.
After being frightened before, the two siblings are still a little afraid of Klein. They half-hid behind their parents and bodyguards, daring not to speak, like wilted balloons.
Klein nodded slightly, as a greeting to them.
At this moment, Uldi Blanche hesitated for a second, and stepped forward half a step:
"Mr. Sparrow, will you stay in Bayam?
"If I want to hire, no, please help, how can I contact you?"
Sure enough, he is a businessman with an adventurous spirit. Even if he is afraid, he must make friends with people with extraordinary abilities... Klein thought for a while and said:
"What newspapers are here?"
"The main popular newspapers in the archipelago are "Sunya Morning Post" and "Newspaper." Uldi didn't need to recall the answer.
"You advertised for three consecutive days in the "Sunya Morning Post" asking for Damir's special bacon, and left your address. I will go to you. If I haven't shown up after three days, it means I'm going to sea again. Already." Klein cautiously gave a one-way contact method.
"Okay." Uldi exhaled and smiled.
Cleves and others once again expressed their gratitude and left the cabin in an orderly manner.
Seeing the gangway in sight, Donna suddenly slowed down, and shrank back to Klein's side, raised her face, bit her lower lip and said:
"Uncle Sparrow, since, since such power must bring danger and madness, you, why did you choose?"
She thought about this question for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to ask.
Klein was taken aback for a moment, and instinctively outlined a smile:
"For this dream."
Then, his voice lowered, and he spit out two words:
"And, guard."
Guard... Donna read this word in a daze, quickened her pace, and caught up with her parents.
After watching the Blanche family leave the "White Agate", Klein withdrew his gaze and said to Danitz next to him:
"you're free."
ah? Danitz was still a little uncomfortable for a while.
