Chapter 239: Klein’s Guidance

Aboard the Future, Frank Lee rolled up his shirt sleeves, shook his fountain pen, and wrote with a smile on his face:

“My dear friend Gehrman Sparrow, I have good news to tell you. Using a Rose Bishop’s flesh, I have successfully cultivated an entirely new kind of mushroom. As long as there are fish, it can reproduce endlessly, so we no longer need to worry about being unable to eat mushrooms after sailing for too long. In addition, it has crossbred with beef, and the taste is excellent!

“Its only defect is that it cannot fish or catch fish by itself and must be provided with help. However, I think this is not too big of a problem. After all, Nina said that this way, it won’t pollute the ocean. Fine, let’s say she is right.

“I have sent you some dried mushrooms. As long as they are given water and fish, they will immediately return to normal and begin self-reproduction. I hope you like my gift…”

After rambling on at length, Frank folded the letter paper, placed it inside an envelope, and stuffed in three dried mushrooms along the way. Then he applied glue and sealed it shut.

Having done all this, he took out the note Klein had given him and carefully began preparing the messenger-summoning ritual according to the description written on it.

This was not complicated for Frank. Before long, he had arranged the altar and created a wall of spirituality.

Finally, he solemnly placed a Loen gold coin in front of the candle.

After lighting the candle and softly reciting the incantation, he stared unblinkingly at the flame, watching it expand and step forth as a headless lady carrying four heads.

Frank was first startled. Immediately afterward, he gazed with fanatic intensity at the four gorgeous heads Reinette Tinekerr carried, all blond-haired and red-eyed, and murmured under his breath, “How did you do it?

“Why are they completely identical?

“If they were planted in soil, could even more grow?”

The eyes of the four heads held in Reinette Tinekerr’s hands each turned in different directions, gazing toward different places. In the end, they all landed upon Frank Lee’s face.

Suddenly, all the soil stored inside various containers in the room flew out and piled up in front of Frank.

Frank immediately floated upward. With an astonished expression, he flipped once in midair, then plunged headfirst into the pile of soil, feet upward.

His legs kicked and struggled outside, but for a while, he could not pull himself free no matter what.

Only then did two of Reinette Tinekerr’s four heads lean forward and bite the envelope and gold coin respectively.

By the time she had completely vanished, Frank Lee finally found the best point to exert force. He burst free of the soil and fell sitting onto the floor.

“So impressive…” Frank first sighed with lingering fear. Then he wiped the dirt from around his mouth and face into his mouth, carefully chewed for a while, and muttered softly, “A little too sour…”

At that moment, Admiral of Stars Cattleya, who had recently completed a sacrifice inside the captain’s cabin, seemed to sense something. Her eyes, which contained deep purple, subconsciously turned toward the room where Frank Lee was located, vaguely seeing a crudely handmade illusory doll.

The doll had no head!

The image flashed past. Cattleya’s eyes instantly shut. Inside them was a pain like being burned by fire, and two streams of tears flowed uncontrollably down her face.

Her brows knitted little by little. With uncertainty, she whispered, “An ancient evil?”

…

After “distributing” the Meteorite Crystal and the spinal fluid of the Black Hunter monitor lizard to Miss Magician and Miss Justice, Klein returned to the real world and lay down in the reclining chair. While letting his body sway lightly, he considered where he should go next.

“With news of Gehrman Sparrow’s appearance and the matter of Mad Captain Connors Victor, pirates likely won’t appear in Bayam’s public places for a long…
