Chapter 208: Miss Messenger

Under the sunlight, the Golden Dream radiated golden brilliance, like a moving treasure.

Danitz stood inside the captain’s cabin, constantly pacing back and forth, trying to remember every single thing that had happened during this period and find clues that could be investigated.

Three days ago, his captain, Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina, announced that she would be doing a study. She might not appear for ten or twenty hours, so the corresponding lessons would all be canceled. Danitz and the others were not surprised by this, because it was something that often happened.

They had been delighted that they did not need to attend class. Aboard the ship, they drank, sang, and held a bonfire party—falling only a little short of setting the Golden Dream itself on fire. They had a very pleasant time.

But as time passed, everyone, including the slow-witted Danitz, gradually sensed that something was wrong. The captain, whose study should have ended within twenty-four hours, had still not appeared on the second day. She had not even asked anyone to send food or light beer to serve as clean water!

After patiently waiting another half day, the crew members, still unable to see Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina, gathered their courage and knocked on the captain’s cabin door. To their terror, there was no response.

Under the leadership of First Mate Bru Walls, the pirates opened the captain’s cabin and discovered that it was unexpectedly empty!

They then searched places such as the collection room as well, but still failed to find Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina.

Based on previous experience, they initially suspected that the captain might have suddenly thought of something and, using one of the many secret arts or a Beyonder technique that imitated another person’s ability, left the Golden Dream in a hurry without having time to leave a message.

Afterward, Danitz and the others tried using methods such as a “spirit-channeling ritual” to contact her, but received no response. All they could do was search the captain’s cabin and other locations for clues while convincing themselves to wait patiently.

After the third day passed, Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina still had not appeared and had sent no reply. The crew began to panic.

“Shit! Did your divination produce anything? Don’t you claim to be an expert in this area?” Danitz irritably turned toward “Flower Bow Tie” Jodeson.

Jodeson, whose black hair was dyed blond, rubbed his temples and said in a rather mellow voice, “Failure. Every divination for finding a person failed.

“But for the moment, one thing can be confirmed: the captain is still alive. We just don’t know where she went.”

First Mate Bru Walls, who had short gray curls, pushed up his monocle and said, “We must seek help. None of the captain’s collections were lost. She didn’t even take some necessary mystical items, which means what happened at the time was very sudden and unexpected.”

“Who should we ask for help?” asked another boatswain, the broad-waisted “Barrel” Daniels, in a hurried voice.

Bru Walls raised the silver-patterned carving knife in his hand before his aquiline nose and said, “Return to the west coast.”

What he meant was that they should seek the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, which stood behind Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina.

“No. Returning from the pirate paradise to the west coast means crossing the Sonia Sea, passing through either the North Sea or the Berserk Sea, and then sailing across a long stretch of the Misty Sea. The captain cannot wait that long! An accident could happen to her at any time!” “Flower Bow Tie” Jodeson said. “We must find someone who can be contacted quickly and provide help in a short time.”

Danitz had originally wanted to curse, “Shit,” again, but inspiration suddenly came to him.

There was only one person he could contact quickly, and that was Gehrman Sparrow. And this crazy adventurer had never been stingy about showing before him that he…
