Chapter 60: Bayam Under Lockdown

Watching Gehrman Sparrow put on his coat, don his hat, and pick up his cane, Danitz finally remembered that he seemed to have been forgotten.

He coughed once and, under two gazes, said, “Do I need to go too?”

Best not… Who knows what will happen! Previously we merely stopped briefly at Bansy Harbor, and we encountered a strange, terrifying incident. Last night, I took Gehrman Sparrow to visit the rebels’ contact person, and as a result we stirred up Sea God’s curse. Today, if I follow this madman to help search for Leticia and those archaeologists, who knows what will happen! Danitz lowered his eyes to glance at his left arm, still bound in a splint. He felt that in only a few days, the things he had encountered had surpassed those of the previous few months, perhaps even half a year.

“You may stay here, but people will come later to inspect the place,” Elland said with a chuckle.

People will come to inspect the place? Then the great pirate Blazing will be caught and turned into gold pounds? Danitz frowned and laughed dryly.

“Apart from claiming bounties, chances to earn money from the military are rare. I would be more than happy to try.

“The only problem is that you will have to wait a few minutes while I put on a disguise. Captain, I do not wish to cause unnecessary misunderstandings and make things difficult for you.”

If I go without disguising myself, then a great pirate like me running off to act with the military and the Church will only get pressed down on the spot and arrested… Danitz imagined himself being slammed face-first onto the ground, a knee pressed into his back, able only to struggle like a catfish.

Elland thought back for a few seconds, then took an iron-black mask from an inner pocket of his clothes and tossed it over.

“Just wear that. I will explain the rest.”

Mm, there is no need to waste time on a disguise that will not be very useful… Klein commented inwardly.

He said nothing, turned the handle, and walked out of the room.

Elland followed closely behind. Danitz, putting on the iron mask while taking off his coat, hurried after them.

Arriving on the empty, puddled street, Klein pressed down on his hat and asked, “How do we search?”

Elland smiled.

“By district.

“My Beyonder profession has certain traits. As long as I have seen the real person, a photograph, or a sketch, I can firmly remember the target’s appearance and gain extra perception on the supernatural level. Mm, I can also sense abnormal factors and grasp subtle traces. By combining the two, the search can be quite effective.”

Sequence 8 Sheriff of the Arbiter pathway… Klein nodded thoughtfully and asked while walking, “Do you have any of their belongings?”

Last night, Danitz had included Leticia’s portrait on the notices. Klein had completed it through ritual magic by praying to himself.

“No.” Elland shook his head. “We have not yet grasped their previous movements. What can be confirmed is that they returned from Simim Island at around three yesterday afternoon. No passenger ship left port after two o’clock. This morning, because of the weather, ships have entered but not departed.”

In other words, Leticia and the others have not yet been able to leave by ship… Klein understood what Elland meant.

Danitz suddenly gave a scoff.

“That proves nothing. Perhaps they left Bayam yesterday afternoon and headed for another city on the island.”

Blue Mountain Island was the largest island in the Rorsted Archipelago. It was very large, rich in forests and mineral resources. Therefore, many other cities also stood upon it, built around fertile land and astonishing mineral deposits.

For the sake of these riches, the Kingdom of Loen had first bribed indigenous princes, then forced them with military power, and finally directly established the Governor-General’s Office. Through a relatively efficient approach, they developed broad roads connecting the various cities and completed several important…
