'mc404: Stay away from Bansi Port. Do not go there unless you are a High-Sequence. There is great terror there. If you must go, do not go out at night.'
Bansi Port?
The original owner seemed to have passed through this port when he went to West Balam. I have an impression, but it's too vague. There is great terror there? Then I'm definitely not going!
Lex continued to look down.
'Hanging Salted Fish on the Bedhead: Pay attention to Gehrman Sparrow around October next year. He is Klein's alias.'
Gehrman Sparrow?
I remember a Watcher once said that in the future, there would be a person codenamed 'Mr. World' in the Tarot Club, and that was Klein's alias.
Now there's another one.
How many aliases does Klein have, anyway?
'Aquarius: Joining the navy is not as good as starting your own company and taking a group of people to Sea. Klein became a god too quickly. What position can the protagonist rise to in the army in a few years? And the army is so inconvenient, how will he intervene in the original plot then?'
Klein became a god too quickly? So, Klein eventually became a god? And very quickly, as expected of the Son of the Plane!
The army is inconvenient for intervening in the original plot? Although I don't know what the original plot is, it's true that the army has many inconveniences.
However, there are pros and cons. At least by joining the army, I will have a layer of security when I am a Low-Sequence.
If I can advance to High-Sequence in a short time, then it will be fine to leave.
'I Have the Scarlet King: Those pirates on the Sea are mobile Treasure Troves. Killing them not only allows you to exchange for bounties but also to sell characteristics, provided you have enough strength.'
'Coil Knows: On the Sea, as an official force, the first thing to pay attention to must be the pirate forces, the Four Kings and Seven Generals. Among them, there are allies and enemies. I will sort them out later. I suggest you first try to contact Danitz or Anderson. They are both from the Hunter Pathway. As for Treasure Troves, remember that the Fountain of Youth is a scam that tricks people, and the Key of Death will be taken by Klein later... In addition, the Sea barrier is somewhat weaker than the land barrier, so try not to court death by exploring new routes, as it is easy to be contaminated.'
Hmm, these two Watchers both mentioned pirates. Perhaps I can pay attention to those famous Pirate Kings and Generals.
Hmm, just pay attention. My current strength is not enough to hunt them.
Contact Danitz? Who is that?
As for Anderson, I remember a Watcher mentioned him before. This man from the Hunter Pathway is recruiting a team.
The Fountain of Youth is a lie, and the Key of Death was taken by Klein. It seems there are many legends on the Sea.
Don't explore new routes; it's easy to be contaminated. Hmm, I shouldn't have such an opportunity, but I will remember it.
After browsing the messages on the Mysterious Book for a while, Lex felt a significant consumption of his spirituality, so he ended the summoning.
After the surrounding scene returned to normal, Lex opened the washroom, took out the birdcage, and found the parrot inside listless, not at all as noisy as usual.
"What's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Lex gently flicked the birdcage with his finger and saw that the fruit he had put in the cage last night for its 'midnight snack' hadn't been touched.
The parrot gently tapped its chest with its wing: "I don't know why, but it feels stuffy here, just like when those stupid birds snatched my food when I was little."
Lex wondered, "You sound like you're sad about something?"
"Sad? How is that possible? I am a noble Dragon. Sadness has nothing to do with me." The parrot flapped its wings, but a drop of liquid welled up in the corner of its eye.
"You're really strange."
Lex placed the birdcage by the window: "Sunbathe, perhaps it will improve your mood."
If it were normal, it would probably scoff, but now, it remained silent, quietly staying in the birdcage, like a clay sculpture.
After breakfast, Lex went to Raphael Cemetery. Although the valet and bodyguard were a little puzzled, neither of them asked any questions.
This cemetery was completely different from the one Maggie had hidden in. It had staff management, clean paths, and carefully trimmed trees, not giving off a gloomy feeling at all, but rather an indescribable tranquility.
Lex knew the grave numbers of Grizzly and Mole from Eiros. He left Matthew and Gru in the carriage and entered the garden with a bouquet of fresh flowers. But he did not go to their graves, but instead came to a stranger's grave, two rows away.
Although there was no one in the cemetery in the morning, Lex was worried that if he went to mourn rashly, he would be noticed. After all, this was a world of mysteries, and there were too many ways to monitor others.
For example, like the Beyonder in the restaurant that day, who commanded the undead.
Standing in front of this unfamiliar grave, Lex laid down the flowers, but gazed at the graves of Grizzly and Mole.
Each had an epitaph.
Grizzly's tombstone read, 'This was a crude man, but also a friend worth knowing.'
As for Mole, it read, 'A fool, a wretch, but ultimately died like a man.'
In a trance, Lex seemed to see these two guys laughing happily, imagining that they had hope of becoming rich in Tingen City next year.
Lex said nothing, just pressed his hat and bowed slightly to the two graves.
When he turned around, he saw Kyle.
The former Hunter smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to come to the cemetery so early."
"Two friends are buried here. I came to see them. And you, how did you know I was here?" Lex's mouth curved slightly upward as he walked towards him.
The two walked along the deserted main path, watching the occasional fallen leaves drift down from the tree canopies on both sides. It was already approaching autumn.
"You know I used to be a Hunter. It's not hard to find someone." Kyle stepped on a fallen leaf and suddenly said, "The crystalline heart of a Blazing Bird."
Lex didn't immediately understand. After a second or two, he gasped, "The main materials for a Pyromaniac? Your friend is back?"
Kyle nodded slightly: "Yes, he came back as a corpse. But he didn't forget to keep his promise, so in the corpse's pocket, there was also a letter for me."
Lex was stunned again before saying, "I'm very sorry."
Kyle shook his head gently: "It's nothing. For people like us, it's not surprising to die suddenly at any time."
"However, if I die someday, please try your best to take care of Lanci within your capabilities."
Lex looked at him: "Mr. Kyle, you won't."
Kyle laughed, "It's hard to say which comes first, accident or tomorrow. Of course, no matter what, I will try my best to live."
He looked at Lex seriously: "You too."
Lex smiled and nodded.
"Oh, by the way, that parrot, can you help me raise it? If not, just leave it with me." Kyle took out another piece of paper and handed it to Lex, "This is his daughter's address. If you have time and happen to pass by, visit his daughter for him."
"He has something he wants to tell his daughter, and that sentence is also on the note. If you don't want to go, it's fine. His daughter probably has already forgotten him."
Lex unfolded the note, and there was indeed an address on it.
The address was in Backlund.
Below, there was a sentence.
'Dear Sisi, I miss you very much.'
It was a very short sentence, but the note was torn by a fountain pen.
Lex silently put away the note, not saying whether he would go or not, but instead said, "I will continue to keep that fellow. It won't cost me much anyway."
"Now I know why it looked a little unhappy this morning. It seems it sensed that its owner had left."
"Is that so?" Kyle gently patted his head, "I almost forgot, that old fellow also told me that parrot is called Grego."
"Do you believe it? This is his father's name."
Lex was a little surprised: "So, was it to commemorate his father, or a prank?"
"Who knows."
Kyle paused and whispered, "Also, I know the parrot's Pathway."
