Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

1 month 18 day.

The city of generosity, Bayam.

Danitz, who had been fooling around in the bar until dawn before returning to the hotel, fell asleep again without knowing it.

In his sleep, he suddenly saw the blurry scene around him become clear, and it was frozen in the luxury suite of the 'Blue Wind' hotel.

Boom, boom, boom.

Danitz heard a slow knock on the door.

Am I dreaming?With such doubts in mind, Danitz walked to the door and turned the handle.

The gap in the door was getting wider and wider, and he saw a familiar figure.

This is a beautiful lady with a face shaped like a goose egg, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and a pair of light blue eyes that look like clear spring water.

Her long brown hair was parted in the middle, tied in a simple but delicate knot at the back of her head, and then flowed down smoothly.

She didn't wear a hat, and she was wearing a beige coat that was tightened at the waist. There was a large piece of white lace woven into palm-sized flower-shaped decorations spreading down the neckline.The jacket is matched with a dark knee-length skirt, the skirt is pleated and connected, and it is slightly fluffy. Under the feet are a pair of leather boots with a similar hair color.

"captain?"

Danitz exclaimed, looking at the lady in front of him in surprise and nervousness:
"when did you come?"

Edwina said calmly:
"This is a dream."

"Yes!"

Danitz suddenly realized that the captain had demonstrated a similar ability before, using it to communicate with Ember.But it was a pity that Danitz had never learned this kind of secret technique, and he felt that there was a high probability that he would not be able to learn it, so he could only wait for Edwina to contact him.

Danitz was full of thoughts, and wanted to tell Edwina about his recent bad experience, so as to get a chance to return to the captain.

But just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the sound of the lock cylinder turning.

Subconsciously, Danitz looked back at the bedroom, and saw that the door there was getting wider and wider, and Gehrman Sparrow, who was only wearing a white shirt on his upper body, walked out with a blank expression.

"You...how did you come out?" Danitz stood up abruptly, blurting out in astonishment.

He quickly came back to his senses and stammered:
"This, this is my dream!"

How did this guy Gehrman Sparrow just show up?

Klein put one hand in the trouser pocket of the dark trousers, walked towards the lady with her back to the window, and responded in a low voice:
"A spell."

Then, he looked directly at the woman, and asked with almost certainty:
"Edwina Edwards?"

"Good afternoon, ma'am."

Klein smiled little by little, put his hands on his chest, saluted, and then slowly said:

"I'm Gehrman Sparrow. I received a commission from Ash Black. He asked me to tell you that you don't have to wait for him anymore."

"That's it."

'Vice Admiral Iceberg' Edwina was silent for a few seconds, then nodded slightly, "I see, thank you for reminding me."

"captain……"

Looking at the slightly complicated and regretful expression on Edwina's face, Danis was heartbroken.

Nothing really happened to them, did they?No way no way?Obviously they didn't get along much alone in those few days, so how could something happen so quickly?Why!He has been on the ship for so many years without any results, so why did that guy succeed after only a few days!
pain!It hurts so much!
Danitz's mood was extremely low, and his heart was in such pain that he wished he could kneel on the ground and cry bitterly.

Edwina said softly:
"I think Ash should have been paid."

"Yes." Klein nodded slightly.

Edwina said neither too fast nor too slow:

"Then you don't need to meet me in person. Is there any reason why you must see me?"

If the remuneration was paid in advance, then 'Gehrman Sparrow' doesn't need to meet her, because Danitz can also pass the news on her behalf.And right now, since the other party broke into Danitz's dream to meet him in an 'unnecessary' way, he must have something to ask for.

Klein's eyes showed surprise, but he didn't show any panic, and said with a blank expression:

"I do have a few questions I want to ask you."

Edwina nodded slightly, and did not refuse, but asked instead:
"Mr. Sparrow, are you educated?"

What's the problem?Klein's expression remained unchanged, and he responded indifferently:
"Graduated from college."

"What languages ​​do you know?"

Klein resisted the urge to frown and said:
"Giant language, elf language, dragon language, ancient Hermes language, Hermes language, ancient Fusac language, Loen language..."

Edwina let out a "hmm":
"Do you know anything about other fields of occultism?"

"proficient."

Edwina thought for two seconds, then explained in a neither too fast nor too slow:
"I have to consider how to answer the question based on your knowledge level, so that you can understand it more easily."

This... Klein was shocked. He felt that the beautiful lady in front of him was nothing like a part-time pirate adventurer. She was simply a teacher with a cold expression but a kind and persuasive attitude.

As expected of a pirate general, he really has his own characteristics... Klein secretly sighed, and said slowly:

"First question, how much do you know about Chuanhuo?"

What fire?Danitz looked blank, not understanding what they were talking about.

Edwina's eyes flickered for the first time, as if she had re-acquainted with Gehrman Sparrow.She thought for a few seconds and said softly:
"I have heard ancient legends about fire transmission, but I don't know much about the details..."

If you don't understand the details, is that a general understanding of the cause and effect?Klein silently came to a conclusion in his heart, and then asked slowly:

"Second question, who did you hear these legends from?"

Klein knew that he shouldn't have asked so bluntly, but he had no other choice.Instead of beating around the bush with a little bit of probing, it is better to ask directly and openly from the beginning, which is more in line with the character of Gehrman Sparrow, a crazy adventurer.

Moreover, he was very curious from the beginning!

Whether it's from Emperor Roselle's diary or Ember's attitude towards Edwina, it reveals the same detail: the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom has a far better understanding of 'Passing Fire' than other churches!
In Emperor Roselle's diary, the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun clearly owned a painting world at that time, but they knew nothing about it.On the other hand, the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom not only has a painting world, but also a guardian knight who wears the same type of armor as Sogo and shouts "Praise the Sun".

And Edwina also clearly showed an extraordinary understanding of embers, and she is also a believer in the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom...

All of these are connected, and it's hard not to make Klein wonder how much the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom knows, and where did they know about these rumors!

Edwina's icy blue eyes were fixed on Gehrman Sparrow, and she didn't give an answer right away.

Klein, who maintained his avatar, stopped talking, waiting for the other party to take the initiative to speak.

He looked at Edwina.

Edwina looked at him.

A few minutes of silence suddenly appeared in the dream.

This strange silence made Danitz a little nervous, for fear that these two people would fight - the captain is not here now, he is the one who really suffers from the fight!And, isn't it just to ask a question?Is it necessary to make the atmosphere so tense?
Edwina was silent for a long time, and said softly:

"This is what my teacher told me."

"Who is your teacher?"

Klein continued to ask without hesitation, putting on a posture of breaking the casserole and asking the end.

Edwina watched him calmly:
"Klara."

"..."

Klein's pupils narrowed sharply, and his thoughts exploded in his mind.

His spirituality was crazily warning, as if there were a pair of eyes staring at him behind him, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body was icy cold.That name is like the key to open Pandora's box, as if touching some terrible taboo in the dark!

The last time I had this similar feeling was when the Eternal Blazing Sun and the Goddess of the Night were 'invaded' above the gray mist!
And the last time there was a person or organization similar to the "mechanism", it was the "Twilight Hermit Society" - as long as you say or write the words "Twilight Hermit Society", they will definitely be used by them in a certain way or a certain item sensed!
The name Edwina uttered must be the real name of an existence, and at least an angel above Sequence 2!
No, probably more than Sequence 2!

"ended?"

It was clearly in a dream, but Klein still felt the fear of a sudden cardiac arrest. He could feel his back was completely wet with cold sweat.But fortunately, that being had already looked away, and he did not choose to keep watching them.

The other party didn't intend to do anything to them... No, it should be said that he didn't intend to do anything to him.

After all, Edwina claimed to be that disciple, and Danitz was Edwina's subordinate, so they would definitely be fine.The reason why Edwina said that person's name so easily was because she had already expected this. She knew what would happen...

This is a temptation, but also a test!

Klein felt extremely regretful, regretting why he was so reckless?
As long as that person has the slightest idea about him, it is impossible for him to stand here properly now!

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Edwina stared at Klein for a while and asked softly.

Because I am not dead, so I am qualified to continue asking questions?

Klein seemed to hear Edwina's subtext, and suddenly felt extremely absurd, but suddenly felt that all this seemed very normal.

After all, it is the existence of that kind of rank, who can hear their real names and not die, so they are qualified to continue to explore more secrets.

But that name...

Klein forcibly reversed his thoughts so that he would not think of the whole picture of the name, and at the same time forced his thoughts to calm down...

Klein lowered his head to look at his palm, which was trembling constantly.

No, it's not that his hands are trembling, it's that his whole body is trembling, and he hasn't recovered yet...

Before that, even he himself didn't realize this.

"I……"

Klein opened his mouth, his voice hoarse.

"Why so exaggerated?"

Danitz looked at Klein's trembling appearance, feeling baffled.

What did the captain just say?Why did he only see the lips moving but not the sound?

What on earth had Gehrman Sparrow heard to be so frightened?

Danitz's heart was as curious as scratching an itch, but he quickly dismissed the idea of ​​dying.

The biggest advantage of him is that he is not so curious, because he knows that people with high curiosity are prone to accidents, such as Gehrman Sparrow.Even in his dream he couldn't stop trembling, Danitz was really afraid that he would be frightened to death...

Klein took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and said in a deep voice:
"I'm going to the bathroom."
-
barren land.

Two figures, one large and one small, were walking on foot in the boundless desert with sparse vegetation, heading east all the way.

Lilith wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked up at the embers beside her, pursed her lips, hesitating whether she should speak or not.

"Is something wrong?"

Ember saw the girl's hesitation, stopped and asked.

"I, I want to drink water..." Lilith whispered.

Although she is not human, she is a vampire.

But even vampires need to eat.

Especially in this vast desert, the consumption is particularly high.

Before their tribe migrated, they had actually prepared enough supplies.But these things, together with her people, have turned into crystal glass under the dragon's breath.

Well, of course, originally she could eat dragons.

If the corpses of those dragons hadn't been reduced to ashes under the thunder...

"water?"

Ember thought silently for two seconds, then stretched out her hand towards Lilith.

Lilith hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her tender little hand and placed it in Ember's palm.

But before the two hands touched, a green grass suddenly appeared in Ember's palm.

Lilith was taken aback, and withdrew her hand like an electric shock.

"Eat." Ember passed the green grass in his hand.

"Eat grass?"

Lilith opened her mouth, she is a vampire, but she is not a cow or a horse, and she does not live by eating grass... Lilith didn't know what to say, so she hesitated for a while before taking the green grass from Ember's hand, and took a bite of it resignedly .

She thought the grass would be unpalatable, but when she chewed it, it seemed to have a strange sweetness that moistened her mouth.Although it can't be called melting in the mouth, it still made the girl's eyes light up. She stuffed the whole grass into her mouth, chewing it faster, and her face puffed up like a little hamster.

【Blooming green flowers and grass】

[Green grass like a great flower,
With blooming small white flowers.

Can temporarily greatly increase energy recovery speed.

The flowers of green grass are called phantom flowers,

It is said that it only blooms near icy water that does not freeze. 】

"so amazing……"

Lilith murmured softly.

While chewing, she felt that her energy seemed to be greatly restored.

But this didn't seem to be enough, the girl hesitated and raised her head to look at Ember, and opened her tender mouth to signal that she had finished eating.

"very good."

Ember nodded slightly, and calmly said: "Next, let's hunt for food."

"Eh?"

Lilith followed Ember's line of sight to look not far away, and couldn't help being stunned.

On the top of the sand dunes, a wild boar with yellowish-brown skin and a size as large as a rhinoceros was looking at them, obviously treating them as prey.

Lilith pursed her lips lightly, of course she understood why Ember said these things...

The girl took a deep breath, and a thick black air filled her back, forming a pair of illusory bat wings.

Her hands hang down naturally, but her ten fingers are slightly bent into claws. At the same time, the nails of her ten fingers start to extend outwards, and a section full of mysterious symbols and patterns grows out. It is sharp enough to cut through steel, and has a strong corrosion ability.In the case of the same sequence, even the scales of the giant dragon can be easily scratched by it!
The wild boar on the sand dunes in the distance also felt the threat, arched its back in an offensive posture, opened its bloody mouth with two fangs, and let out a threatening growl from its throat.
