Kapitel 263: Chapter 181: 'Captain Pale'

At all times he remained calm, his breathing normal and his eyes sharp, ready for anything unexpected.

Alger couldn't help but feel a little curious.

What would the Messenger of the annoying and mysterious member of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Knowledge look like?

The answer didn't take too long to appear when the skull of a large bird was inserted into the middle of this bone door.

When this curious skull was inserted into the door it swung open revealing a dark and turbulent space.

Out of this black space came something that could only be described as a giant woman.

Alger's eyes widened slightly at this.

From what he knew, a messenger in human form was a very rare thing.

'Chariot has many more secrets than I thought...' Alger thought seriously.

From being a member who did not appear in any church document, possessing advanced knowledge, and having a messenger in human form...

The level that Chariot had had to be very high.

This giant woman only looked at him with serene gray eyes, showing no other emotion.

Alger noticed how there was a brown stain next to her lip.

He could also smell the very faint smell of chocolate?

'Curious...'

He did not point this out so as not to offend the giant, he did not know the strength of the messenger or if she was short-tempered so he would not risk offending her.

The giant only put her hand in the turbulent space that was still open and took out a long bag that she extended to Alger.

"From Chariot..."

'Elvish?' Alger immediately recognized the language but not wanting to disturb the messenger he nodded and took the bag.

The giant woman just turned around and entered the door of bones, which fell and disappeared after she entered.

'A spirit in human form and capable of communication...'

Thinking of that, he immediately realized a problem that caused him to curse under his breath.

"Shit... She saw my face."

If Chariot's messenger was able to communicate that meant she could tell Chariot what he looked like.

This caused an uncomfortable feeling to fill his stomach.

"I was careless..." the blue-haired man mumbled before sighing trying to calm down.

'Chariot may now know who I am but he wouldn't dare attack me after all...We are both under the gaze of Mr. Fool...He wouldn't allow that.'

The great existence that was most likely a God would not allow one member to attack another.

With this realization, any fear or insecurity he might have felt vanished as if it were never there.

Looking down at the bag in his hand, Alger sighed and placing it on the table, he opened it.

A golden glow was reflected in his eyes and this made the corners of his lip quiver.

Clucking, he grabbed his promised share of 800 pounds from the bag and set aside the rest.

....

Leaving Blue Avenger, Alger did not meet any of his men as they had gone to enjoy the 'special services' of the island.

Already used to this, he simply went to where the auction was to take place.

As he walked, the quick review what he was looking to get.

The Sphinx's brain and the Conspirator and Melee Scholar formula for Chariot, and pages from the Emperor Roselle's diary for Mr. Fool.

'A week without pages is enough... I don't want Mr. Fool to think I'm not trying to fulfill his errand.' Alger thought heavily as he clenched his fists.

Mr. Fool had said that it was not always necessary to turn in a page from the diary but that did not reassure Alger.

'If I consistently fail to deliver a page what will Mr. Fool think of me? Maybe if I don't give Him any for a long time I'll be expelled from the Tarot Club...'

That was something Alger didn't want at all.

After walking for a while, Alger arrived at the auction site.

In front of him was the entrance to a cave that was illuminated by several lamps and this was guarded by a considerable number of men.

Keeping his cool, Alger walked to the entrance and one of the men standing there stood in his way.

"What do you want? This is a private zone if you don't have any business get out." The man said in a deep and strong voice.

This man was a man as tall as Alger, he had black eyes and black hair.

' This is not normal...'

Alger thought seriously.

Normally they would just look at him but never talk to him or cut him off.

'Something happened.' Alger concluded but remained calm.

"I'm here for the special function." Alger said.

"The function is somewhat unique and strict, if you are not more specific I will not know what you are talking about." the man said seriously as he flexed his arms making his muscles swell.

Alger remained relaxed and undaunted by this.

Being now sequence 7, it takes a lot more than that to intimidate him.

"I'm here to attend the Auction hosted by the King." Alger got right to the point causing the black eyes of the man in front of him to sharpen.

The man looked at him in silence for a few seconds before relaxing his gaze and moving out of the way.

"You're just in time, twenty more minutes, and the Auction would have started." the man said mockingly.

To Alger, this low level of mockery was nothing so, he ignored this and only advanced into the cave.

...

The tunnel to the cave was quite large, you didn't need to look closely at the walls to know that it was not a natural formation.

After walking for a while, Alger finally arrived at the Auction.

A huge open space that could easily fit a small neighborhood.

Pirates or lone Beyonders walked the streets.

There were several small stalls selling low-level charms or ritual materials or the like. Things that weren't worth putting up for auction.

Speaking of the Auction...

Looking straight ahead, at the end of the cave was a large 'theater'.

The red curtains were closed signaling that the show had not started yet.

There were a lot of seats around this theater, easily more than 100 people could sit there.

Some seats were already occupied by some people, what was most surprising was the order that there was.

Many pirates who hated each other sat just a few meters away but did not attack each other, they just sat ignoring each other's presence.

And all this was due to one reason...

Or rather a person...

Swallowing, Alger wiped the sweat from his brow and chose a seat not too far from the theater to sit down.

He subconsciously lowered his head slightly and waited for the auction to start.

"I can't believe this."

His ear caught a conversation and Alger, seeing an opportunity, spied.

"Tell me. Who does that bitch think she is? Thinking she can become an admiral? How ridiculous!" a man growled in annoyance and his surrounding men nodded.

Another man next to him snorted loudly and added.

"As desperate as she is, I wouldn't be surprised if she offers to sleep with someone to join her crew!"

A wave of laughter rang out and Alger just inwardly shook his head at that.

Then at that moment, the previous man said something that caught his attention.

"With Captain Admiral Pale in the water, that chick doesn't stand a chance!"

'Captain Pale?' Alger thought confused and stunned.

It was the first time he heard that name.

Trying to make sense, he thought of various possibilities.

'Did a new Admiral appear? That is... I was in the ocean for 8 days, I couldn't have missed the birth of a new Admiral... But it makes the most sense...'

' But why would there suddenly be guards? Someone like him doesn't need them so is there another reason? Does this Captain Pale have an investor that makes someone like him take precautions?' Alger thought heavily as he frowned.

What's going on?

As he thought about that, the seats around him began to fill up, and quickly all of them were filled, although there was also a circle of people standing around waiting for the auction to start.

At that moment, the ringing of bells filled the cave and the red curtain was parted revealing a thin man in a colorful suit and red hat with a wide smile on his white face.

"Welcome everyone!"

"Sorry for the delay and the new security, things have been hectic lately but don't worry! Security is everything so nothing will happen to you inside this cave!" he said cheerfully with a laugh but no one laughed.

The man didn't feel bad about this, he just chuckled and added darkly.

"But of course, you'll be by yourselves when you leave the island."

The weakest trembled at the presenter's dark voice and this caused him to laugh.

"Leaving that aside! We must thank whoever makes this auction possible!"

The presenter moved and pointed to a tall person sitting on a throne at the back of the stage.

He had a squarish face with slight wrinkles. The wrinkles on his face looked hardened and filled with magnificence. He had a short black mustache beneath his chin, and his black eyes swirled with a red glow. He wore a tall pointed crown and a gorgeous black robe with silver fringes.

"Give a round of applause to the King of the Seven Seas, Nast Solomon!"

Immediately, a wave of applause was followed by standing ovations for the king.

Alger also clapped his hands and kept his gaze lowered, unable to look beyond the shadow Nast cast.

"Put the games aside and start the Auction." Nast said calmly but his voice carried an enormous authority that made the presenter and those present tremble slightly.

"Y-Yes sir!" The presenter said with his smile broken.

Turning to the audience, his smile reappeared as if nothing happened and he continued with his arms outstretched in the air.

"Let the Auction begin!"
