Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 93 Adam, danger! (Add more updates for the first leader of the book 'Pigeon Hunter')
"Mr. Ash."

Seeing that the atmosphere became a bit awkward, the first mate, Bruce, smoothed things over with a smile, "Are you a believer in the Church of the Sun?"

Well known.

Only believers in the Sun Church will habitually praise the sun.

"No."

Ember calmly shook her head.

"It's all gone."

Edwina looked at the crew members who were all looking over, and said calmly.

As soon as the crew heard the captain's voice, they immediately looked away and pretended to chat with the people around them, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Mr. Ash, please follow me."

Edwina said softly, and brought the embers to the captain's dining room.

"hateful!"

The third pair of 'flower bow ties' said sourly, "Even I have no chance to dine with the captain, why should he?"

"You too?"

The second officer Orpheus sneered, and said mercilessly, "Even if the captain dines with a dog, he would never dine with a piece of trash like you."

"Orpheus! Damn it, I've endured you for a long time!"

"Two second-hand goods."

The first mate, Bruce, walked away from the two without any trace, with a blank expression on his face.

The captain is clearly only interested in the secrets of that stranger, and has nothing to do with love between men and women.

In the end, these two idiots are actually jealous here, and it's completely embarrassing.

But that's fine.

The more embarrassing they are, the more they can bring out their tolerance and calmness.

only……

Da Dabru secretly glanced in the direction of the captain's dining room, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Damn it, he really wants to have dinner with the captain!

In the captain's dining room, Edwina said softly, "Don't pay attention to them, they do this every day."

"pretty good."

Ember said casually, "At least this will help promote harmony."

"Is it harmonious?"

Edwina blinked, and after thinking about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Every crew member who joins the Golden Dream is always able to mingle with others as quickly as possible——

in various senses.

Obviously, they are all working towards the same goal.

That goal is the treasure!
Their crew was more like treasure hunters than pirates.

Their goal is to track and dig for various legendary treasures at sea, not to plunder passing ships.

Although there are quarrels on weekdays, there has never been a situation of cannibalism like that on other pirate ships.

Edwina was thoughtful, but Ember had already taken off her helmet.

Showing an ordinary face, he silently picked up the spoon and started eating.

And Edwina couldn't help being a little disappointed when she saw Ember's ordinary face except for being somewhat handsome.

Because she didn't see the withered face of a living corpse that she expected.

The two of them didn't have much in common, so they both chose to remain silent during the meal.

Although Edwina wanted to explore the secrets of Ember, she also knew that going too far was too much, and there was no entry point.

So I didn't act too eagerly.

"Ms. Edwina."

During the meal, Ember suddenly said, "Can you take me to Tuscat Island? I can pay for it."

"can."

Edwina nodded slightly, "No reward is required, but we must wait for us to complete the expedition first, and it will take about five days to go back and forth."

"Five days?"

Ember fell into deep thought, five days plus the three days required to go to Tuscat Island, that is, a total of eight days.

It will take about a week for Mr. 'The Hanged Man' to arrive at Tuscat Island, so there is no delay.

"Aren't you curious what the goal of our expedition is?"

Edwina asked suddenly.

"Do not."

Ember just wanted to shake her head, but Edwina explained without hesitation, "The purpose of our coming here is to search for an ancient shipwreck. According to the local legend, a ship that came out of the ruins of the battle of gods sank there. nearby."

"And that ship may contain some information that can unlock the secrets of the God War Relic."

"That's it."

Ember nodded as if enjoying herself, but obviously lacked curiosity about it, she just got up calmly and said, "I'm done eating, thank you for the hospitality."

This made Edwina a little helpless.

If you are not curious, how can I legitimately explore the secrets of you?
Edwina got up silently, and led Ember to leave the restaurant.

It's just that when she left, she deliberately stopped at the door of the restaurant for a moment, and cast her gaze at the open room on the side.

Seeing Edwina's sudden pause, Ember subconsciously stopped, and looked at the open room beside her.

"That's the collection room."

Edwina seized the opportunity and said suddenly, "It contains the proofs of our previous treasure hunts. Some of them are just souvenirs, and some have not yet shown their value and need to be studied."

"You seem to be very interested, do you want to go in and have a look?"

"No, I'm not interested."

Ember really wanted to say that, but after a moment of silence, she still nodded.

Seeing that Ember finally took the bait, Edwina raised her mouth slightly.

She led Ember into it, and introduced various items in the collection room to him seemingly indifferently but in great detail.

Finally, Ember's interest was aroused a little bit.

"The second officer."

Ember listened to Edwina's narration in silence, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Orpheus, is the armor on his body also one of the collectibles?"

"That's it."

Edwina seemed to have expected Ember to ask such a question, and said softly, "That set of armor is an imitation of the ancient Sun Knight's armor collected in the Church of Knowledge, and it has inherited some of the magical abilities of the ancient Sun Knight's armor."

"That's it."

There was a look of nostalgia in Ember's eyes.

He knew very well that Orpheus was not the real Sun Knight.

I also know that the other party's praise of the sun is not the same as what I know.

But he still responded to the other party.

As for the ancient Sun Knight armor that Edwina said was collected by the Church of Knowledge.

Ember is not a surprise.

The Evernight Church can keep a painting world, and even a cult like the Aurora Order also has a copy.

Even if the other major Orthodox churches do not have the painting world, it is not surprising that they have some things handed down from the painting world.

He was interested, but not very interested.

After all, the information that a set of armor can contain is too limited.

Thinking about it, Ember's eyes were suddenly attracted by a book made of parchment on the table.

With the help of the eyes of wisdom, Ember recognized a line of ancient Feysac on the surface of the dark brown cover:

"Grossel's Travels".

"This is from a submerged shipwreck that has been submerged for 165 years and is still undamaged."

Edwina noticed Ember's gaze and introduced, "It records that a giant named Grossel decided to go to the Frost Kingdom to hunt down the King of the North. On the way, he met many companions. But the story The progress came to an abrupt end when they confronted the King of the North, and the next few pages could not be opened by any means."

"Grossel's Travels."

Ember was thoughtful, he caught a trace of familiarity in this so-called 'travel notes'.

He once experienced the same feeling, which originated from the throbbing when he first saw the world of painting.

Try to open the book.

As Edwina said, the plot of the story stays when Grossel encounters the King of the North.

After that, there are still a lot of gaps, but they can't be opened no matter what.

It seems that the story is missing some kind of key here, and it can no longer progress.

"Do you know what it is?"

Edwina noticed the change in Ember's expression and asked, "If you can tell me the answer, I can sell it to you at a very cheap price."

For Edwina, only knowledge is priceless.

Objects carrying knowledge are important.

But if she can't unlock the answer, she doesn't mind trading the item for the answer.

of course.

have to add money.

"How many?"

Ember asked casually.

"One pound."

Edwina said calmly, but her eyes were fixed on Ember for some reason.

"Eight thousand pounds?"

Ember pondered for a moment, lost in thought.

There is one thing to say, the price of [-] pounds is indeed very cheap.

Although his weekly salary is only 100 pounds, it is only 5200 pounds a year.

However, with the part-time job given by Earl Hall, there will be 10400 pounds a year.

But Ember had only been working for less than two months, and the total salary did not exceed a thousand pounds.

Even with the [-] pounds given by the rich woman every month, the total net worth should not exceed [-] pounds.

So logically speaking, he should not be able to afford it.

However, besides the rich woman, Ember also met a kind person who gave generously, and that kind person's name was Kapin.

The wealth he left to Ember is not much, but there are still 10,000+ gold pounds.

Enough to buy twenty copies of "Grossel's Travels."

The only question is whether Ember wants to buy the book or not.

From a personal standpoint, Ember has a certain interest.

Because although this is not the real painting world, it may have some connection with the painting world——

Might be another attempt besides painting the world.

So since there may be clues, and the price is so cheap, there is no harm in buying it.

Ember was just about to speak, but Edwina said pointedly, "If you don't have enough money, you can use magical items instead. If you trust me, I can help you estimate the value, as long as the value Quite enough."

"Need not."

Ember shook her head, took out money and handed it over, "Eight thousand pounds, do you want to count it?"

"..."

Edwina looked at the stack of gold pounds that Ember took out, opened her mouth but hesitated to speak, and finally fell silent.

This pile of gold pounds undoubtedly completely disrupted her original plan.

She originally thought that the embers were the legendary 'ash' told by her teacher, which sank into the sea for unknown reasons and has been dormant ever since.

And he was recently salvaged from the sea by the men of the "One-Eyed Skull" in an accident. They mistook the ember for a discarded armor and brought it aboard.

But he never thought that this move would also bring about a fatal disaster for himself.

The salvaged embers unexpectedly come to life, killing everyone on board.

But all this has a premise.

That is, if the ember is really the legendary 'Ash', and was recently salvaged from the sea by the 'Mad Captain', then he will undoubtedly be completely out of touch with the current society.

The 'golden pound' used by the Loen Kingdom should not be within the understanding of the other party.

Even if it can be understood, the 'gold pound' understood by both parties should not be the same thing.

But the stack of gold pounds that Ember was obviously taking out was obviously issued by the Kingdom of Loen!

This proves that the other party is not out of touch with society.

Even being able to take out so many gold pounds at once proved that the other party should hold an important position in a certain organization.

But if so.

And it is completely impossible to explain why the other party appeared on the ship of 'Mad Captain' for no reason!

These contradictory clues suddenly caused Edwina's brain to crash.

"Wait a moment……"

After finally sorting out her thoughts, Edwina suddenly remembered an important matter, and she said after a long silence, "We communicate in the ancient Fusac language, but Orpheus uses the Loen language. Say……"

Before she finished speaking, Edwina suddenly fell silent in embarrassment.

She has been ignoring a very important issue all this time.

She preconceived that Ember was an 'ancient man', so she used the ancient Fusac language when communicating.

Because this language is not only the source of all lingua francas in the modern Northern Continent, but also the lingua franca of the Quaternary Era.

To communicate with the 'ancients', it is natural to use the language of the 'ancients'.

But Orpheus' "Praise the Sun" is in Loen language.

Ember can understand and respond, which means he understands Loen language.

But her common sense made her ignore this detail——

In her common sense, it is very normal for a person to be proficient in several languages.

The ancient Feysac language she used to communicate with Ember, but besides that, she is also proficient in Giant language, Elvish language, Ancient Hermes language, Hermes language, Loen language and many other languages.

It is precisely because of this that there has always been a misunderstanding in her common sense that "if I can understand it, others must understand it".

If you don't understand, it means that the person is mentally deficient.

Although most of the crew members on her ship are mentally handicapped, they are all proficient in at least three languages ​​under her careful training.

So in the long-term relationship, her 'common sense' gained the upper hand.

Let her faintly ignore the details that could be detected:

An 'ancient', she can understand the ancient Fusac language, but how could she be proficient in Loen language?

Although the Loen language originated from the ancient Feysac language, the spoken languages ​​of the two sides are almost completely different.

There is no possibility that someone who knows ancient Feysac can master Loen without a teacher.

And since Ember understands Loen language, she should have guessed that the other party is not a real 'ancient'!
Then her temptations just now, aren't they...

The more she thought about Edwina, the more embarrassed she became, and in order to avoid further embarrassment, she suddenly changed the subject abruptly.

"Mr. Ash, besides Loen and ancient Fusac, how many languages ​​do you know?"

"It will, and it will not."

Ember thought for a while, and replied very seriously.

"Eh?"

Edwina blinked.

"I don't know a single language you speak."

Ember spread out her palm, with a clean and smooth eyeball in her palm, and said calmly, "I can understand the language you use with the help of the eye of wisdom."

"Eye of Wisdom..."

Edwina looked at the eyeballs in Ember's palm, and hesitated to speak.

She actually knew about this eyeball, which was one of the sealed items kept by the Church of Knowledge.

But she thinks the name of this eyeball shouldn't be the eye of mental retardation?
After all, only mentally retarded people who can't even understand the language need to use this eyeball.

After thinking about it for a while, Edwina still chose to remain silent.

Think of it as the eye of wisdom.

　PS: Ask a question.

　　It is known that 0-08 is the Spectator Path Sequence 1 Extraordinary characteristic.

　　Secondly, it is known that Adam has uniqueness and one or two Extraordinary characteristics.

　　The original book didn't say so, but according to my guess, 'Grossel's Travel Notes' is also a Sequence 1 Extraordinary feature.

　　There are four reasons:

　　First, the 'Sun God' does not use the Visionary Sequence as the cornerstone, so it only needs a copy of the Visionary's uniqueness and Sequence 1 Extraordinary Characteristics.

　　Second, after becoming a Sequence 0 visionary, two copies of the Extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 1 can be separated without being affected.

　　In other words, before the fantasy dragon was killed, two copies of Sequence 1 should have been separated.

　　One is 'Nightmare Dragon' Al Suhod, aka 0-08.

　　Another high probability is Grossel's travel notes.

　　Otherwise, it is impossible to explain what Grossel's travel notes are attached to.

　　Third, the follower of the fantasy dragon is to rely on Grossell's travel notes to attract 0-08 to come, so as to plan a resurrection.

　　And after resurrection, he also has the foundation to compete with Adam as a visionary.

　　Just relying on one Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristic is definitely not enough. Only with two Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristics can he ensure that he can compete with the unique Adam.

　　Fourth, if Adam had two copies of the Sequence 1 Extraordinary Characteristics, he would only be 0-08 away from becoming a dreamer, and there was absolutely no need to obtain Grossel's Travel Notes.

　　Of course, the above are just guesses.

　　After all, Squid didn't say clearly in the original book whether Groselle's travel notes were a Sequence 1 Extraordinary characteristic.

　　So I hope to brainstorm and see what the readers think.
