Chapter 93: The Golden Dream

When Klein saw that enormous black-sailed ship, his first reaction was fear and vigilance. He suspected that the half-god King of the Five Seas, Nast, had come for him.

But he immediately rejected the idea. Ever since going out to sea, aside from the time he had used the Black Emperor card in the spirit world, he had almost never allowed that Card of Blasphemy to appear in the real world. The few times he had, it had only been when answering a summoning, and it had swiftly entered the spirit world afterward.

With the gray fog’s shielding ability and the Card of Blasphemy’s anti-divination and anti-prophecy qualities, the King of the Five Seas, Nast, could not and should not have locked onto me! Klein calmed himself, stood, and walked to the window, gazing with Danitz at the Black Emperor, a ship that violated the common sense of sailing vessels.

The enormous ship slowly approached within a vast shadow. The scene upon its deck gradually became clear. Some sailors were washing the deck, while others leaned against the ship’s side and bragged. No one drew a saber or pulled a gun. There was no sign of plunder at all.

Near the cabin stood a mottled stone chair two or three meters tall, and upon it sat a giant-like man.

Before Danitz could even see the King of the Five Seas, Nast, clearly, he could not help lowering his head. His body stiffened and trembled, as if he wanted to prostrate himself.

Klein also felt that indescribable majesty and intimidation.

He did not force himself to endure it. He did not stiffen his neck and continue looking directly at the King of the Five Seas, Nast. Doing so would most likely draw the other party’s attention and bring unnecessary trouble.

As someone hiding many secrets, one had to lower one’s head when necessary!

Klein withdrew his gaze and began admiring the carpet spread across the deck instead.

After an unknown length of time, he saw sunlight shine in again, and the shadow vanished.

He lifted his head. In his field of vision, that enormous pitch-black sailing ship was already gone. The wind was gentle, the waves were calm, the sky was high, and the sea was vast.

“Why did he suddenly come this way? Was he not said to be in the Fog Sea not long ago?” Danitz frowned slightly, murmuring in confusion.

That ship, the Black Emperor, can sail through the spirit world. Coming over from the Fog Sea in a few days is completely normal… Perhaps that is one reason Nast is the leader of the Four Kings… Klein muttered inwardly.

He believed that the King of the Five Seas, Nast, had been drawn over by the Black Emperor card, but that the other party most likely could only confirm a vague range.

Klein withdrew his gaze, sat down again, and behaved as though nothing at all had happened.

The straight-line distance from Bayam to Dyrnius was actually not very long, but the sufficiently safe shipping routes wound back and forth. The passenger liner did not enter the harbor until dusk.

After that, Klein changed his appearance, used fake identification to buy two tickets for the earliest available ship, departed again before nightfall, and arrived at Gargas in the faint light of dawn.

Danitz did not enter the city. He led Klein around to a private harbor, where they boarded a crude fishing boat and headed out to the open sea.

Nearly two hours later, a sailing ship several dozen meters long appeared in Klein’s sight. It was neat and clean, reflecting golden light beneath the sun.

Compared with similar vessels, it looked extremely unusual. Along its central axis was mounted a single main cannon, and the barrel was covered with layered symbols and patterns, flowing with a faint yet pure light.

“That is the Cannon of Purification. It can be used only ten times. Afterward, six Priests of Light are needed to hold a ritual, pray to a deity, and refill it with spirituality,” Danitz introduced proudly.

A large-scale charm capable of repeated use? After a certain period, it…
