Chapter 786 Boarding the Ship
Port Barnamo, on a street near the marina.
Jane hid in the shadows, watching Anthony mingle among the crowd and mingle with the pirates.
On the one hand, she was worried that if such behavior was detected, it would make the "Deep Sea Admiral" completely alert, believing that there was a huge conspiracy waiting for him in Barnamore Harbor, and on the other hand, she could grasp the current information of the first mate, second mate, boatswain and others of the "Newnes" as soon as possible without her following:
The pirates of Port Panama are looking forward to the "Admiral of the Deep" or his right-hand men to teach the unknown adventurer a lesson, so they will naturally keep an eye on the movements of the corresponding personnel and pass on the news to their companions and friends!
In other words, with such a high level of attention, most of the pirates in Port Panama spontaneously became reporters, and the right-hand men of the "Deep Sea Admiral" would be noticed and widely publicized wherever they went.
If they use their abilities to stealth or enter a state of invisibility, they can avoid the good people scattered in every corner of Panama Harbor, but the problem is that they are currently raising supplies and completing supplies, so a lot of things cannot be hidden.
So, one news after another reached Anthony's ears in time:
"The 'giant shark' has arrived at the Fez Trading Company."
"The 'Ship Destroyer' went in the direction of the carnival bar!"
"Oh, the storm is up, those guys met up in Blackstone Square!"
"They have one more street to the rave bar!
"They stopped for a while and were discussing!"
"It seems that they are going to buy a big barrel of light beer from Old Dante first!"
「……」
Anthony sensed the commotion of the pirates and saw them leave the current street one after another and flock to the revelry bar.
He also stood up so as not to be too conspicuous.
In the process, he winked at the shadow where Jane was hiding.
Jane understood and immediately took advantage of the shadows on both sides of the street to rush from the increasingly crowded road to the revelry bar.
…………
Lumian held the newly poured amber Lonzi and nodded self-absorbedly.
He then looked at the bartender in the bar and said with a smile:
"You can consider moving away the valuable wine and items temporarily, and it's best not to stay here."
The bartender was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, he replied hurriedly:
"Okay!"
No one passed on the news to him, fearing that Lumian would hear it and affect the follow-up events, but he probably guessed from the pirate group that was gradually gathering outside the bar that something was brewing and was about to happen.
This made him look forward to it and make him very nervous, after all, the place where the conflict was about to break out was a carnival bar, and he was directly on the scene!
Seeing the bartender instructing the waiter to move the valuable items out the back door, Lumian took out a blank art book and an absorbent pen, and asked casually while writing:
"How much is your bar worth? Including this two-story house."
"Uh......" The bartender was stunned again.
What does this mean?
Does this mean that the conflict may destroy the bar and cause the entire house to collapse?
Reminiscent of the powerful crimson and near-white fireballs, the bartender suddenly became trembling, and he forced a smile and said:
"You want to compensate? You, just look at it and give it, or let the loser compensate......"
"This house is a simple small building built by local residents, it must be very cheap, and your bar is facing pirates on the ground floor, whether it is decoration, or tables and chairs, they use the cheapest kind of ......" Lumian didn't raise his head to make an assessment, and continued to depict what was on the blank art book.
"Yes, yes." The bartender nodded quickly in approval.
Lumian raised his head, shook his head and smiled:
"You answered yes or yes to everything I said, which makes me very embarrassed."
"......" The bartender closed his mouth and didn't know how to answer.
Lumian lowered his head again:
"How about 2000 Felkin?"
"Yes." The bartender changed the word, and there was no haggling at all.
The absorbent pen in Lumian's hand did not pause, and said in a calm tone:
"I will pay after confirming the specific damage afterwards, if the pirates who will come are willing to help me compensate."
"Okay." The bartender responded hurriedly.
He looked left and right, wishing he could put on his wings and fly out of the bar now.
Based on the conversation just now, he was worried that if he stayed at the scene, he would turn into a mutilated corpse.
After a few minutes, the waiters removed the few items of value, and the rest of the cheap goods were left in the bar.
The bartender then leaves through the back door, while the real or fake pirates, including Mason, walk out of the carnival bar, waiting and watching outside.
They also did not dare to linger on this preset battlefield.
Here is the summary of the experience.
Lumian drew for a while, stopped the pen in his hand, and slowly drank the few remaining amber lanzys.
After waiting for a few more minutes, Franka sneaked into the shadows of the bar and whispered:
"The 'Deep Sea General' didn't come, but his first mate 'Giant Shark' and others are almost nearby, and they will arrive in about two minutes."
Lumian grasped the absorbent pen again and continued to sketch on the surface of the album.
He laughed softly:
"Remember to prepare 2,000 Fairkin compensation, and return the 1,000 Fairgold bounty entrusted by the summoning messenger when you go back."
"Huh?" Franka was a little surprised.
Lumian smiled "hehe":
"This is to help you digest 'pleasure', and of course you have to pay for all expenses, including extraordinary items consumed."
"No problem." Franka didn't resist just now, but she didn't expect Lumian to suddenly mention this matter.
At this time, she saw that Lumian was about to finish her depiction on the blank art book, and asked curiously:
"Why don't you just bring up the 'Arrogant Armor', put a robe on it, disguise it as an adult, and then let it sit on this chair with its back to the pirates who come in?"
Anyway, with Lumian present, it is impossible to use "arrogance armor", so it is better to put it here and play a role.
"Do you really want this house to be destroyed?" Lumian laughed, "And the 'arrogant armor' can't use 'lies' to disguise me, and those subordinates of the 'Deep Sea General' will find out that there is something wrong before they enter the door."
As he spoke, Lumian finished his last stroke on the blank album.
It was a sketch outlined in dark blue ink, and the person in the painting was Lumian himself.
The paper gradually blurred, and the Lumian in the painting suddenly moved, quickly and thickly, expanding and enlarging like a balloon.
In the blink of an eye, a dull expression Lumian appeared in front of the bar and was blocked by Lumian's body.
It has the instinct to complete a few minutes of combat and some of Lumian's abilities, and will follow the orders of the depictor.
While arranging for Lumian to take a seat with his back to the bar door, Lumian transformed into a shadow creature and disappeared in front of the bar.
Not long after, the first mate of the "Neunes", nicknamed "Giant Shark", Jörg, and several of his companions of similar strength, arrived at the carnival bar under the watchful eye of a large number of pirates.
Glancing at the unknown adventurer sitting calmly in front of the bar, the tall and strong "Giant Shark" with a shaved head waved his hand and passed through the gate first.
By the time the extraordinary people of the "Newings" entered the carnival bar, Lumian, who had already squeezed to the window to watch, pressed his right hand on the glass.
A certain black mark hidden by his clothes lit up.
"Fictional bottle"!
He packed the carnival bar into a "fictional bottle", and the condition for entering and exiting was that he was not an extraordinary person.
Immediately afterwards, Lumian turned around, squeezed out of the crowd in the chaos of the pirates suddenly losing what they saw in front of them, came to a nearby alley, and took Franka directly to the dock.
The two met with Jane and Anthony at the agreed location, and with the help of shadows and psychology invisibility, they boarded the alchemy ship called "Newnes".
Compared to when they first arrived, there were far fewer pirates on this ship, and only the most basic vigilance could be maintained.
Lumian was not worried that the actions of his and others would give the "Deep Sea General" a premonition of danger, because judging from the intelligence collected from all sides, Hal. Konstantin is not an extraordinary person of the "demonic" path, has no perception of malice, he previously behaved more like the sequence 5 "Ocean Singer" of the "Storm" path, and according to the feedback given by the "Tarot Society", the "Deep Sea General" has nothing to do with the Storm Church.
Therefore, Lumian asked Jane to confirm whether the "Black Octopus" had followed the "Newnes" to Panama Harbor this time - the captain of the "Black Octopus", "Bonebreaker" Basil, was a "demon".
Considering that the changes in the situation at the carnival bar may make the "Deep Sea General" highly vigilant after being transmitted back to the "Neunes", Lumian and the others did not delay and quickly dived into the cabin.
In less than a minute, they found a lone pirate in a room in the hallway.
Franka confirmed whether the surrounding mechanisms had an early warning function, and after a few seconds, he whispered to Lumian in the shadow creature state:
"You can do it."
Lumian immediately sneaked into the room, wandered behind the lone pirate, and emerged with a "hum".
Two white lights flashed away, and the pirate fell into a coma.
Anthony turned into the room and quickly began to hypnosis.
Jenna and Franka stood in the shadows outside the door, and soon heard the voice of friendly communication coming from inside:
"Where is the admiral?"
"In the captain's room."
"If an admiral can become one of the most famous pirates, there must be some big force behind it, right?"
"I don't know, but the admiral is indeed a bit mysterious."
「……」
After a simple inquiry, Anthony made the pirate forget that such a friend had come on board.
They immediately sneaked to the cabin on the upper floor and stopped outside the door of the captain's cabin.
Glancing at the silver-white metal door, Lumian's eyelids suddenly jumped.
He thought of the possible paths and sequences of the "Deep Sea General".
On such an alchemical ship, the power that the "Singer of the Seas" can exert may be no less powerful than in the deep sea and in the air!
While Lumian was thinking about it, two pirates pushed the dining cart and came to the captain's room with the help of a mechanical elevator.
