Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

West Balam, on the coast of the Raging Sea, a huge sailboat reflecting golden light rushed out of the storm in the early morning sun.

The surging waves and howling winds around it had no impact on it at all. The waves and winds mysteriously turned and disappeared when they were about to approach it.

In front of the captain's cabin of the Golden Dream, Edwina held a bronze-colored monocular telescope and looked at the coast that had come into view in front of her.

After a while, she put down the monocular in her hand, her face relaxed slightly, and she said in a calm voice:

"Keep the speed and try to dock at the dock before noon today. The Golden Dream will stay here for a week. You can move around freely during this week, which is in addition to the vacation you deserve."

With the blessing of secret magic, her voice clearly reached the ears of every crew member on the Golden Dream.

"Great!"

"Ha ha!"

"Praise Captain!"

The cheers and boasts about Edwina could be heard on the ship for a while. Edwina continued after the cheers subsided:

"There is a lot of chaos here in West Balam. During your vacation, there must be enough manpower on the Golden Dream to take turns on duty. Blue, you will arrange this matter."

"Okay, Captain."

First mate Blue Walls, who wore a monocle and had short gray curly hair, responded to Edwina with a serious expression.

Then his expression softened again, and he opened his mouth to ask something with a flattering and expectant look, but the moment you opened your mouth, you forgot what you wanted to say.

"Captain, are you planning to get off the ship? Why don't we come together?"

Third "Flower Bow Tie" Jordan came closer at some point, and he spoke to Edwina with a natural expression.

While speaking, he turned his head and raised his eyebrows to look at Blue, who looked confused, and smiled provocatively at him.

Edwina took a deep look at Jordan. She knew exactly why Blue suddenly paused in his words. However, Jordan only used his stealing ability to play pranks occasionally, which helped him digest and master magic. Medicine, she didn't care about it.

"Captain, where are you going? The Pas Valley or the Harvest Plains? Or adventure in the ancient forest?"

Daniz also walked to the captain's cabin at this time, walking past casually, but his eyes remained on Edwina.

Seeing more and more crew members approaching her, Edwina shook her head slightly, and then said calmly:

"I plan to stay at the Church of Knowledge in Pas Valley for a while, and I plan to seek the prophet's potion formula from the bishop there."

"Prophet? Captain, are you going to be promoted to demigod?"

The first person to react was Yodson. He looked at Edwina with a surprised look on his face, and his tone was very complicated. He was happy about the captain's increase in power, but also felt helpless that he still couldn't catch up with her.

I finally collected the Dream Thief's potion materials in the violent sea, and became the same Sequence Five as the captain. As a result, the captain was already planning to be promoted to demigod~

"Demigod? Then captain, aren't you going to become the pirate king soon?"

Daniz opened his mouth from ear to ear in surprise, and began to think about the future in his mind.

Wouldn't this be able to stabilize the madman Gehrman Sparrow? When the captain is successfully promoted, I will find a reason to trick that guy Gehrman Sparrow to the Golden Dream and let the captain beat him up. pause.

Edwina looked around, shook her head slightly and said in a calm voice:

"Not so fast. Potions after Sequence 4 can no longer be purchased with money, and the further you go, the more troublesome and difficult the rituals required for promotion become."

"It's very common to stay in Sequence Five for decades without a suitable opportunity."

"You can ask Al Tynes. If he has separated the characteristics of the prophet in his body, you can trade with him."

A low, hoarse voice suddenly echoed around, and along with this voice appeared dark shadows flowing like water from all directions, squirming on the deck and condensing into a dark human shape.

It moved its body quite unaccustomedly and murmured:

"No matter how many times you use your human body in this form, you are not used to it!"

"Something happens in the Pas Valley recently. If you are lucky enough, you may be able to take advantage of this opportunity to be directly promoted to Demigod."

Edwina calmly nodded towards the dark figure and said:

"Thank you for the reminder, I will ask."

"Your Excellency Vaj Ver, what will happen in the Pas Valley? Is it dangerous?"

Yodson on the side frowned slightly and asked. He had just received a letter from Renekton a few days ago, asking him to go to the Pass Valley to help preach. The words of the dark figure just now made him a little worried about his safety.

Vajvir unskillfully manipulated the pitch-black figure to take two steps, and then disintegrated into a puddle of sticky darkness, flowing freely in the surrounding shadows.

Its voice echoed in every shadow around:

"It's not too dangerous for a sequence five thief. Escape and save your life are what you are best at."

"Haha, Jordan, I didn't expect you to be a coward who is good at escaping!"

Danitz did not miss this opportunity to ridicule, and the other crew members around him were surprisingly unanimous when targeting Jordson.

Since Jordan was promoted to a Sequence Five Dream Stealer, in addition to playing pranks on the ship to make everyone look stupid, he also acted more diligently in front of Edwina, which allowed him to firmly win over the entire Golden Dream. The hatred in the world has become the target of everyone.

Jordan chuckled nonchalantly and said:

"It should be said that as a Sequence Five, I can easily play tricks on weak Extraordinaries like you!"

Daniz's face turned red and white, and he recalled the embarrassing shit after his thoughts were stolen by the other party! This abominable thief, after being promoted to Sequence Five, his extraordinary abilities became even more bizarre.

It was not until nearly noon that the Golden Dream docked at a private port near the mouth of the Pas Valley.

All the personnel in this private port were replaced by the local warlord Mesanyes. His troops dressed up as ordinary migrant workers and loaded and unloaded the cargo on the Golden Dream.

On the second floor of a poorly renovated tavern outside the port, Jordan followed Edwina and quietly left the Golden Dream and came here.

Edwina knocked on the closed door slowly and rhythmically, three times and two times lightly.

When she retracted her hand, a low voice came from the room: "Please come in!"

As the words fell, the wooden door painted with red paint opened automatically, as if there was an invisible spirit attached to the door.

Jordan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if sensing something. After a moment, he turned his head and whispered to Edwina:

"Captain, there are three people inside. One of them is very good at manipulating spirits and is probably an Extraordinary on the Corpse Collector path. The other one is very calm and rational. He feels a bit like you. He should be an Extraordinary on the Reader path. , I can’t feel the slightest fluctuation of thoughts or ideas from the last person, he seems to know how to restrain thieves.”
