Chapter 535: Fond of Teaching
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Unable to tolerate the situation, Danitz decided to do sothing about the situation.
He coughed twice and faced Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina Edwards and said, “Captain, Mr. Gehrman Sparrow has so questions for you?”
Phew... Klein let out a sigh of relief.
If this stare down continued, he felt as though his persona would collapse.
Edwina gently nodded her head, looked at Klein, and said, “Mr. Sparrow, have you received education?”
What kind of question is this? Klein’s expression didn’t change as he indifferently replied, “University graduate.”
Ah? Danitz looked at Gehrman Sparrow in surprise, unable to believe the fact that this crazy adventurer and bounty hunter had actually gone to university and even graduated!
He had no way of putting a university—a hallmark of wisdom—with that of Gehrman Sparrow together!
Unless it’s so “Hunter University” or “Killer Academy”... Or a university that exists only in the fantasies of madn and psychopaths... Danitz couldn’t help but lampoon silently.
Edwina didn’t seem surprised. She continued to ask, “What languages have you mastered?”
“...”
Klein resisted the urge to frown and said, “Jotun, Elvish, Dragonese, ancient Hers, Hers, ancient Feysac, Loenese...”
Edwina responded tersely.
“Do you understand the other domains in mysticism?”
Feeling adrift for a mont, Klein felt like he had returned to his previous life’s elentary school days. Due to his age handicap, he had been asked a series of questions by a teacher, such as how many Chinese characters he had mastered, if he had mastered the four arithtic operations, whether he knew the English alphabet, and how many Tang dynasty poems he could recite...
Calm down... You’re Gehrman Sparrow now... Klein once again said without emotion, “Adept.”
Edwina thought for two seconds and then explained in an unhurried manner, “I have to combine your standard of knowledge with how I would answer the questions so that you can understand the answers more easily.”
This... Klein was surprised to find that the beautiful lady in front of him was nothing like an adventurer acting as a part-ti pirate. She was basically a teacher with a cold expression but a kind and patient attitude.
He cald down after thinking about the vampire that headed for the Church of Mother Earth daily.
This is the first pirate admiral I’m officially eting. She’s indeed unique... Klein secretly sighed and said, “First question, where do Beyonder creatures appear at sea? The commonly seen ones.”
He didn’t directly ask about rmaids, as he didn’t want her to see through his real purpose, which would lead to unnecessary accidents.
Edwina thought for a mont and then wiped the “Soulfall Ritual” off the blackboard. She then wrote and drew:
“Set off from Sonia Island, sail 1,200 nautical miles in this direction and you’ll enter the depths of the sea which humans have never explored.
“There is a Naga tribe active there. They’ve been working hard to find the underwater city which is rumored to have a powerful demon sealed within. That’s the entity of their faith...”
Edwina spoke in detail, partly from her own efforts to find the treasure itself, and partly from the knowledge and rumors she had exchanged.
It took her awhile to finish the general story, but to Klein’s dismay, there were no rmaids anywhere except in the eastern waters of the Gargas Archipelago.
He quickly cald his mood and said, “Second question, do you know how to remove the ntal corruption from a Beyonder characteristic?”
He didn’t hide the fact that he knew about Beyonder characteristics.
Edwina’s eyes flickered for the first ti, as though she had a new understanding of Gehrman Sparrow.
She shook her head.
“I don’t know.
“However, I once imagined that it’s possible by borrowing the power of an external force and completely crushing the corrupted Beyonder characteristic to reduce it to the smallest specks of light. This way, whether it’s corrupted or cursed, they will scatter having lost their vessel. They would rapidly or slowly vanish. As for the shattered Beyonder characteristic, it will gather bit by bit due to their particular traits, eventually taking form again.
“Unfortunately, only gods can do this. If you get the favor of any god, you can try to please ‘Them’ by offering enough sacrifices and pray for a response.”
The law of convergence of Beyonder characteristics... In his mind, Klein filled in what Edwina had purposely left out.
At the sa ti, he couldn’t help but sigh. This Vice Admiral Iceberg, Captain of the Golden Dream, was extrely knowledgeable in mysticism. She wasn’t worse than him, soone who had read many of Roselle’s diary entries and had experienced many things.
It was said that Vice Admiral Iceberg can replicate or simulate the Beyonder powers of her opponents when they use them in front of her... This is rather similar to Mr. Isengard Stanton’s 2-081 ring... As soon as Klein’s thoughts began to wander, he forcefully reined them back, and he nodded as if he was thinking about sothing.
“I agree with this hypothesis.”
“Regretfully, I haven’t done it in practice. It’s only a conjecture.” Edwina rarely used a word that described emotion.
Danitz, who had been listening by the side, had a dazed look on his face. He was unable to keep up with the conversation at all.
What are they talking about? What are they discussing? Why do I know every word, but know nothing when they’re strung together... What’s a Beyonder characteristic? What does shattering it do? What does it gathering together represent? Danitz looked left and right, his eyes blank.
At this point, Klein threw out the third question he had thought about.
“Where can you find ancient wraiths?”
He only ntioned this kind of monster because the corresponding ingredients could also be used in the domain of Death. It didn’t expose the secrets of his own Sequence.
Edwina glanced at Danitz and said, “I’ll keep an eye out for you.
“If you want to attend Bayam’s Beyonder gatherings, he knows a few. He can take you there.”
Not bad, it’s easier to talk to smart people... Klein added, “Do you know where there are people who can make mystical items out of Beyonder ingredients or characteristics?”
“I t one at a gathering, but he never showed up again,” Edwina answered frankly. “I have grasped the corresponding knowledge. I can simulate it, but I cannot guarantee the success rate.”
Heh heh... I’ll wait then... Klein didn’t harp on the topic and switched to asking, “How much do you know about Death’s Key?”
“Little.” An iron black key suddenly appeared in Edwina’s hand. It was about the size of a lyre; its shape was ancient, and it had a dark luster.
The pirate admiral said while half-carrying the item from the shipwreck, “If you an this key, then I can tell you that it belongs to the giants.”
Klein glanced sideways at Danitz.
“Your boatswain told that it can also belong to a dragon or a demonic wolf.”
“That was the earliest guess. I’ve recently found so historical docunts. And with the help of the other items on the ship, I have a rudintary idea.” Edwina didn’t show any agitation. She was filled with patience, but her expression remained cold.
After finally regaining his sense as the owner of the dream, Danitz curiously asked, “Captain, is it really the giants’?”
“Yes.” Edwina gave an affirmative answer. “That batch of docunts showed that there were still many giants active in the Fourth Epoch. So of them had switched faiths to the God of Combat, while the others were left scattered, becoming the hunting targets of the humans.
“One of the tribes built a ship and tried to find the lost Giant King’s Court at sea, never to return. The sunken ship we discovered, along with so of the items inside, are very similar to the relics they left behind in their original settlent, so we have sufficient reason to believe that the key belongs to the giants, and it is very likely to be pointed towards the lost Giant King’s Court of their race before the Cataclysm.”
Giant King’s Court? Little Sun said it’s not far from the City of Silver... Klein didn’t say a word, but he quietly listened to Vice Admiral Iceberg’s description.
I have to say, the City of Silver and the Forsaken Land of the Gods are things I know that completely surpasses other Beyonders... Hmm, even the seven gods can’t find that place, or they find it hard to figure out the exact situation. In this aspect, I’m stronger than ‘Them’... Klein thought about it with a smug and self-deprecating manner before saying in a deep voice, “If I offer a sufficient price, are you willing to sell the key?”
“Of course, unless I acquire additional clues to the Giant King’s Court.” Edwina continued to speak at a moderate pace.
Very good, if the Tarot Club organizes an expedition to the Giant King’s Court one day, I will buy this key... Klein was about to ask the last question when he suddenly rembered the four adventurers.
Relying on the power of the Dream Charm, he conjured the lady with greenish-gray eyes, who wore a man’s shirt, and her three companions.
“Do you know them?”
Edwina took a glance and said almost without thinking, “Leticia Dolera, an archaeologist and adventurer.
“Rumor has it that she’s a mber from the Moses Ascetic Order or the Elent Dawn.”
Moses Ascetic Order... The ancient organization that believes in the Hidden Sage... It really isn’t for money, and their goal is definitely sothing from the abandoned temple... Klein asked casually, “What do you know about Elent Dawn?”
This mysterious organization was similar to the Psychology Alchemists, having been born in the recent one to two hundred years. It combined the elents of various schools of mysticism. It had its own set of theories, and its mbers were all proficient in spell casting and had mastery in many ancient witchcraft techniques.
Edwina pursed her lips and said, “They’ve always been fighting against the Moses Ascetic Order.
“Rumor has it that the eldest daughter of Emperor Roselle, Bernadette Gustav, established it.”
The Elent Dawn is headed by Bernadette? Zaratul’s prophecy is quite accurate after all. She can really be considered an important figure in the Beyonder world... Klein sighed inwardly, feeling sowhat enlightened.
He resisted the urge to sigh and looked at Edwina. He calmly said, “One last question.”
When the beautiful lady and Blazing Danitz’s attention was fully focused on him, he slowly opened his mouth.
“Are you interested in cooperating?”
“What kind of cooperation?” Edwina returned with a question.
The smile on Klein’s face beca more and more exuberant, with a hint of madness in it he said, “Hunt Admiral of Blood.”
