Chapter 228: Lunch with Gehrman Sparrow

After a few casual remarks, Audis and Bernadette's conversation gradually turned to the main point.

Bernadette crossed her legs and said, "Tonight's encounter reminded me of some rumors I had heard before.

"It is said that when the Loen people first occupied Bansy Harbor, some strange things often happened.

"What impressed me the most was the 'strange distress signal.' At that time, there were no wireless telegraphs, and on an island, intelligence was mainly transmitted by bonfires and signal lights.

"For a while, on the top of a mountain not far from Bansy Harbor, 'distress' signals would appear every night.

"Because only the Loen people could master this kind of signal light, the local garrison immediately sent people to rescue them, but those people never came back.

"And when night came, that signal light would reappear."

Audis said, "I have heard some similar stories."

"This is not a story." Bernadette leaned back on the sofa: "Cyril said that many old people in Bansy Harbor have seen that signal light.

"Of course, they are not the old people who lived from the time when Loen just occupied Bansy Island to the present, but that signal light appears once or several times every once in a while."

Audis understood: "That is to say, the official Extraordinary people have not found the reason for the appearance of the signal light."

Bernadette nodded: "You can understand it that way."

"I have also heard some rumors." Audis said: "In the Fourth Epoch, there was an 'Angel Family' who left the Northern Continent for some reason, and they seem to be hiding in Bansy Harbor."

Bernadette repeated Audis's words: "Angel Family."

Then she took a deep breath, as if she suddenly understood: "No wonder there is more than one high-level opponent on that island."

Bernadette paused and explained: "The person wearing the yellow hat is a demigod.

"I fought with him, and his condition is a bit strange. The main Extraordinary ability he uses is the ability of the 'Hunter' pathway.

"But it seems that he also possesses some abilities of the 'Death' pathway and the 'Witch' pathway.

"I can still understand the ability of the 'Witch' pathway, after all, he may have switched pathways, but why does he also possess some abilities similar to the 'Death' pathway?"

This reminded Audis of the "Witch" he encountered in the suburbs of Backlund before, who was related to the evil god of the starry sky.

The abilities bestowed by the evil god are a bit like the abilities of multiple pathways combined together.

Audis pinched his temple with his hand: Theoretically speaking, Medici's descendants are only contaminated by the "Source Quality", could it be that they have also fallen to worshiping evil gods?

This is a bit beyond the scope of his "memory."

Bernadette concluded: "This island is more dangerous than imagined, don't try to investigate it."

Audis smiled: "Of course not."

The main reason why he hinted just now that there are descendants of the "Angel Family" in Bansy Harbor was to worry that Bernadette would go to investigate.

Then Audis took out the spoils he and Klein had seized, that Extraordinary characteristic: "Because you helped us retrieve this trophy, we unanimously believe that the trophy should be shared with you."

Bernadette did not refuse, but was a little strange: "The other party seems to trust you very much."

To actually let a stranger handle the spoils.

Audis smiled: "I have cooperated with him before."

"Mysterious Queen" said "Oh" and thought: So that's how it is.

Then she said: "You can sell this Extraordinary characteristic to me, how about 3,900 pounds? This is a good price.

"If you agree, I will give you 2,600 pounds directly, and then you can divide the money."

"No problem." Audis smiled: "I didn't expect you to give such a good price."

If it were in Intis or the Fursac Empire, this characteristic could definitely be sold for four or five thousand pounds!

Of course, although they don't use pounds, they use their own country's currency, and they need to pay the same value of four or five thousand pounds to get this Extraordinary characteristic.

At sea, the most popular is the characteristic of the "Sailor" pathway, as for the characteristic of the "Hunter" pathway, under normal circumstances, it may not be sold for 3,900 pounds.

Bernadette suddenly smiled mysteriously: "I have my own way of making profits."

And for her, she can earn a lot.

Audis nodded slowly. It is said that many large organizations use this price difference to earn activity funds.

As the former princess of Intis, Bernadette should have some connections in Intis.

Audis handed over the Extraordinary characteristic to Bernadette on the spot. The two people talked about shipbuilding again, and Audis went back to make some preparations.

He will be very busy tomorrow. He originally planned to rest early tonight, but he didn't expect to go to Bansy Harbor. Fortunately, everything went smoothly and it will not affect tomorrow's itinerary.

Just as he was about to rest, "The Fool" suddenly notified him to prepare for the granting ceremony.

Through the ceremony, Audis obtained another main ingredient for the potion, "Eyes of the Spirit-Passing Bird", which were a pair of eyes with large pupils, smaller than human eyes, but very bright, as if they were still staring at Audis.

With all the main ingredients ready, Audis took a deep breath. Tomorrow night, he must open the "Wizard Affairs Office" and strive to digest the last bit of potion as soon as possible.

......

Backlund, Chawood District, Munning Street, Hugh Dilcha and Forsi's new residence.

After dressing neatly in the morning, Hugh went out to look for new tasks to earn bounties. She first habitually glanced at the mailbox.

Seeing a package lying inside, Hugh quickly took it out. Like the previous letter from "Leader", it only had the recipient's name and no sender.

Hugh took the letter and hurried back to the room.

After opening the package, there was indeed a letter from "Leader" inside. The previously agreed code in the letter also matched, and it was indeed a letter from "Leader".

In the letter, "Leader" told Hugh that some members needed Extraordinary characteristics at the last gathering, and he had collected them all, so they could hold a new round of gatherings.

Not only that, "Leader" also wrote in the letter the detailed precautions for the first gathering, etc.

Hugh read it carefully, and then took a deep breath. Although she felt a little nervous when she thought about it, this was "Leader's" first task, and according to the previous agreement between the two, she could not refuse.

Fortunately, "Leader's" guidance was meticulous, which gradually gave her confidence that she could preside over this gathering well.

Then today's plan needs to be changed. Now the most important thing is to publish a GG in the Backlund Post to convene the gathering.

Hugh was about to go out again, but as if she suddenly thought of something, she retreated back and carefully checked the package.

Although she didn't find any traces of anyone else touching it, as a "Constable", her spirituality could basically determine that someone had checked it before she got the package.

And the person who checked the package should be the official Extraordinary person of "Mechanical Heart".

But Hugh didn't care too much. It would be strange if "Mechanical Heart" didn't monitor her.

......

Violent Sea, Bayam, Kent Lane.

Audis hired five local laborers to help him arrange the store.

The furniture and signs were delivered. Audis also bought some green plants and arranged some curtains, drapes, etc. to darken the light in the house.

At the same time, he also added many local characteristics and bought some tropical fish from near the Violent Sea.

This shop is big enough, but the rent is not very expensive. Audis also left a large open space for future use.

Just as he was directing the arrangement of the fish tank, his spirituality felt something. When he turned around, a young man in his twenties with no beard on his face was also looking over.

Audis recognized the other person at a glance. It was Bazel Ryan.

The first time he came to Bayam, he happened to witness a revenge battle. The one who launched the attack for revenge was this Bazel.

Although he was disguised at the time, with a long beard, and his face was obviously different from today, Audis used the help of spirituality to recognize him at a glance.

Bazel obviously also recognized Audis, because after the battle started, the pedestrians ran away, leaving only two spectators, and Audis was one of them.

No mistake, one head, one hair, one inside, one appearance, one look, one look!

The other is the adventurer who likes to tell stories, Rupert Shawn.

When Bazel evacuated, he also specifically looked at Audis and Rupert, and Audis was not wearing a mask today, and the disguise he made was similar to that day, so the other party should be able to recognize him easily.

Audis smiled kindly at the other party, and Bazel nodded slightly, and the two could be regarded as having said hello.

After the other party left, Audis continued to direct the decoration of the store. The corner of his eye noticed that two people were following Bazel.

People from the "Red Lion" pirate group?

Audis didn't plan to delve into it. The most important thing at the moment is to digest the potion and advance as soon as possible.

Just two weeks ago, he was not so active in advancing. First of all, he was restricted by "Mechanical Heart" at that time. It would not be a good thing to advance too quickly.

Secondly, he was afraid that after advancing to "Scroll Professor", he would be specially taken care of by the "Hidden Sage" and would often be "infused with knowledge".

But now he is not afraid, because in addition to completely serving Bernadette, Audis has also embraced the thigh of the "Night Goddess".

With the protection of the goddess's "secrecy" power, Audis estimates that it will be difficult for the "Hidden Sage" to specifically target himself, at most, he will only be able to temporarily detect his location when he advances.

So, Audis wasn't afraid of advancement anymore.

After a simple renovation of the "Wizard's Office," it was already noon.

Audis paid the laborers their wages, went to a deserted corner of the street, put on the mask that "Chief" used to wear, and entered the "Spirit World" using the "Travel Ring."

He had observed the "White Agate" at close range, and the ship had no anti-divination protection, so it was easy to find it from the Spirit World.

When he left the Spirit World, Audis appeared in the washroom of the passenger ship.

Opening the washroom door, he followed his spirituality and saw Klein, also known as the aloof Gehrman Sparrow, in the first-class dining hall, preparing to have lunch.

And Danitz, who was disguised but could be recognized at a glance.

At the same time, Audis wearing the mask had already attracted the attention of the sailors, and someone had gone to notify the captain.

"Mr. Bob!" Donna was the first to notice Audis.

The Urd family also stood up to greet him.

To them, everything that happened last night felt like a dream.

Audis smiled slightly and raised his hand: "Hello. Hello!"

As he spoke, he sat down opposite Klein and picked up the menu: "What's good here?"

At another table, Donna whispered to her younger brother Denton: "Did the ship dock this morning?"

Denton shook his head seriously: "No."

Donna looked surprised: "Then when did Mr. Bob, who didn't board the ship with us last night, get on the ship?"

The two children's eyes immediately lit up, and they secretly observed "Mr. Bob."

At Klein's table, Klein, who was playing the role of an adventurer, said: "The lobster here is good."

Danitz felt a bit of heartache because he had to pay every time he ate with Gehrman Sparrow.

And looking at "Bob's" appearance, he didn't seem like someone who would offer to pay for the meal.

Audis sighed: "I've been eating seafood almost every day recently."

Danitz suggested: "You can try the vegetable soup here."

"Too bland." In the end, Audis ordered grilled fish and grilled lamb chops.

Danitz had already given up resisting. Grilled fish wasn't too expensive, but grilled lamb chops were one of the most expensive dishes in the restaurant.

At this time, Captain Erland came to the restaurant. He smiled and said: "I heard from my subordinates that a masked man suddenly appeared in the restaurant, and I knew it must be you."

He came to Audis's table: "This meal is on me as a thank you for your help last night."

When Danitz heard the "White Agate's" captain say this, he thought: Erland is not bad.

At the same time, he planned to add foie gras and open a bottle of good wine for himself later, since someone was paying.

Audis didn't decline: "Thank you."

Then he said: "I'll have lunch here and chat with Gehrman Sparrow for a while before leaving."

Erland secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Please do as you wish."

After Erland left, Audis gave Klein a small cloth bag: "This is your share of the reward. It sold for a total of 3,900 pounds, so we each get 1,300 pounds."

Danitz was stunned: So fast, so much!

Klein opened the cloth bag, swiped his finger, counted it briefly, and confirmed that it was correct. Then he took out a stack of money from his pocket and counted out 72 pounds: "This is the thank-you fee given by the Urd family and the Diomedo family, half for each of us."

Klein believed that if it weren't for Audis yesterday, it would have been difficult for him to bring so many people back to the "White Agate" by himself.

As for Danitz, Klein had already taken out two 5-pound notes from it in advance and given them to him.

What Klein didn't know was that if it hadn't been for "Mr. Gahl's" sudden appearance, they wouldn't have encountered the evil god of Bansy Harbor when they left there!

Audis didn't decline either. After putting away the money, he took off his mask and prepared to enjoy the lamb chops he had ordered.

Klein then took a serious look at Audis: I didn't expect "Mr. Gahl" to be so young, and he doesn't have any of that "big brother" aura.

Audis picked up the knife and fork and smiled: "The reason I took off my mask is because I probably know who you are too."
