Chapter 781 How to Arrive
Lumian has already looked through the information collected by Franka, and can roughly guess the reason for her choice:
Hal. Konstantin, a "deep sea general" who is said to have sea monster blood, often goes to an island called "Panamo" on the west side of the Misty Sea to resupply, and a few days ago, someone discovered that Hal. Konstantin's flagship, the Neuins, surfaced, allowing the crew to breathe fresh air and enjoy valuable freedom.
Based on the distance, speed, actual conditions of the channel and the weather conditions of the foggy sea, it is estimated that in about two to three days, the "Newings" will arrive at Panama.
Among all the pirate generals, this is the only one that can predict the trajectory of his whereabouts in recent times!
"You can try it." Lumian responded to Franka's suggestion without much concern.
As a "hunter" who has actually participated in demigod-level battles and played a certain role, he feels that there is no essential difference in which pirate general he chooses, as long as it is easy to find.
Franka glanced at Lumian, was not polite, and muttered:
"I think there is a bit of a problem with your current mentality, you can't underestimate the best in sequence 5, you are not a demigod yet, your body is still very fragile, if you despise the 'Deep Sea General', you may suffer a big loss, there is a saying in my hometown that you can despise the enemy strategically, but you must pay attention to it tactically."
"I know, Aurore used to remind me often like this, so that I shouldn't underestimate the IQ of the villagers, and feel that my pranks will definitely succeed and there will be no problems. Lumian was not annoyed and said seriously, "There seems to be a saying in your hometown that weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is."
"Stop!" Franka muttered, "It's good to know, don't make it a famous quote."
Seeing that they had determined the target object, Jian Na spoke:
"The question now is, how do you get to Panama Island?"
Barnamo is located in the northwest of the Misty Sea and was once a colony of the Fraser Empire, but later, when the power of the Frasac Empire declined, the indigenous people of Panama actively fought and finally gained independence.
This is also the reason why Banamo itself lacks valuable resources, and only exists as a forward base to explore the end of the Misty Sea, so it is not a pity to give up.
After independence, Panama Island gradually developed into a pirate port, providing pirates with trading venues and sufficient supplies.
Jenna's meaning is very clear, that is, from Trier to Panama Island, even if the route is smooth and the weather is good, it will take two or three weeks.
Under the current circumstances, only "teleportation" can ensure that the team arrives at Panamao Island in time, where it is waiting for "Deep Sea General" Hal. Konstantin, but the problem is that neither Lumian nor Franka have mastered the coordinates of the spiritual world of Panama Island, and if they want to do such a long-distance "teleportation", they will inevitably get lost in the spiritual world.
Lumian pondered for a few seconds and asked Franka:
"Is there a way to contact anyone on Panama Island?"
"It should be possible, there is a telegraph office on Panama Island." Franka replied thoughtfully, "We can find adventurers who have been to Panama Island and ask them to send a telegram to their friends on the island."
Lumian laughed:
"Okay.
"If all goes well, we can reach Panama Island tonight."
…………
The sea of mist is foggy all year round on Panama Island, where the weather is gloomy.
In the only harbor here, Mason took a bunch of things, passed through the pirates who had come and went, and turned into an abandoned warehouse.
This place was destroyed by a fire among pirates, and it was never repaired and became a no-man's land.
Mason is an adventurer who hates rude and cruel pirates and can't live without Panama Island, a pirate port full of opportunities.
Even if he doesn't risk hunting lonely, bounty pirates, he can patiently wait for the pirate vendetta to end and take the remaining items from the loser.
This is how he became extraordinary, currently the "fighter" of Sequence 8.
Mason took on a task today that was said to be very simple but had a reward of 1,000 Felkin, and deliberately found a secret place to complete it.
He quickly cleaned up the pile of broken wooden boxes, stacked them on top of each other, and turned them into an altar.
Then, according to the description of the task, he placed items such as candles, fragrance, and essential oils.
After completing the preparatory preparations, Mason took out a neatly folded task description and read the follow-up content:
"The most difficult part of this task is having to have the corresponding knowledge, which includes introductory Old Hermes and more proficient Hermes.
"If the above conditions are not met, please do not accept this commission......"
Fortunately, I learned a little bit of ancient Hermes and enough Hermes from other adventurers...... Mason was quite glad he made his original choice when he took on this task.
This is not that he has more learning spirit than other adventurers, but that several items he has harvested before involve the Hermis language, and in order to find out their true value, he deliberately spent money to find adventurers who understand the Hermis language to learn for a while.
After quickly reading the second half of the mission description, Mason assessed the possible dangers and felt that there should be no major problems.
He then made a "spiritual wall" with difficulty, lit a candle, dripped perfume, took two steps back, and shouted in a low voice in ancient Hermes:
"Me!"
It was one of the few Old Hermitic words he knew.
Then, Mason switched to Hermes:
"I call in my name:
"The creatures that roam the upper world, the penitents who awaken from the flames of pain, belong only to Lumian. Lee's Messenger......"
As soon as Mason finished speaking, he saw the candle flame grow bigger and dyed a dark green and almost black color.
In the midst of the firelight, a tall figure wearing a black clergyman's robe stood out.
Mason just glanced at it and took a step back in horror.
The exposed parts of the figure seemed to have been burned by the flames for a long time, the flesh and skin were scorched black, clinging to the bones, the eye sockets were dark and faint, burning with dark flames, and there were some strange black flames that were as thick as water flowing on the surface of the body.
It's like an undead creature!
Some pirates are very good at communicating with corpses, but the summoned "penitent" makes Mason instinctively feel fear, thinking that he is fundamentally different from ordinary living corpses.
None of the pirate generals who have been to Port Panama have left Mason with this feeling!
Seeing the dry corpse in the black clergy robe looking at him, Mason forced himself to take out the letter.
His mission this time was to give a name named Lumian. Li's people sent a letter!
The dry corpse messenger with sticky black flames flowing on his body took the letter and disappeared into the dark green and near-black candlelight.
Everything in the abandoned warehouse quickly returned to normal.
Mason then raised his right hand, wiped a cold sweat, and said to himself:
"This matter doesn't seem simple......
"I have heard from other adventurers that some people are bewitched and perform special rituals, and as a result, evil gods and demons are summoned, destroying themselves and destroying their towns......
"It won't be like this just now, right? Will disaster strike at Port Barnamo?
"That Lumian. Li is the real name of the evil god and devil?
「……」
Mason had seen that the ritual summoned only messengers, which had nothing to do with evil gods and demons, and he was already an extraordinary person in Sequence 8, so he was willing to make such an attempt, but the messenger just now made him feel uneasy.
In his own words, Mason packed up the contents of the altar.
Suddenly, he stopped and frowned:
"I think I've heard of Lumian somewhere. The name Li ......"
He tried to recall for a moment, but gained nothing.
Before leaving the abandoned warehouse, Mason looked back at the altar piled up from the broken wooden boxes and found that something seemed to float in the shadows there.
With a freeze in his heart, Mason pretended not to see anything and quickly left the abandoned warehouse.
…………
Trier, Memorial Parish, in the apartment where Franka and Jane rented.
Lumian saw the "Penitent" Baynfell walk out of the void and handed him a letter.
He didn't open the letter at all, because it was blank paper and there was nothing.
He said directly to his messenger:
"Can I send the reply to the sender just now?"
"Yes." "Confessor," Bayinfel replied in a low voice.
Lumian laughed and pointed to himself:
"I'm just replying."
…………
In Panama Harbor, which was filled with a faint mist, Lumian leaned against the outer wall of the abandoned warehouse, watching the sender walk out of the warehouse with a slightly frightened expression and walk away quickly.
He smiled and took out a golden straw hat from the "traveler's bag", looked at it a few times, and put it back.
——The great adventurer Louis. Berry's appearance here will cause unnecessary suspicion, and may make the "Deep Sea General" Hal. Constantine changed his destination and stopped going to Port Panama.
Lumian straightened up, tightened his thick jacket, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly down the streets of Port Panama.
He planned to go around first and then go back to pick up Franka and the others.
…………
Trier, late at night.
Angoulême arrived at the empty house agreed with the "Hidden Blade" to retrieve the emergency contact information for the next period of time.
Soon, he found the note and saw the contents on it:
"Call my friend's messenger in an urgent matter:
"A rabbit-shaped spirit that hovers in the vanity, a runner in pursuit of knowledge, belongs only to the messenger of the Seven of Cups."
"Seven of Cups" ...... "Tarot Club"? "Hidden Sword", your friend is yourself, right? Angoulême muttered to himself silently.
He felt that he probably understood the reason why there were always so many troubles in the "hidden blade".
