Bab 31: Chapter 31: New Information from Qilangos
Chapter 31: New Information from Qilangos
Alice's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding. She recalled her initial concerns when she first heard about the role-playing method, realizing that this must indeed be the core of the method.
Audrey also had an epiphany due to Derrick's words, finally understanding what Alice had said at the beginning: being an audience for too long can change one's personality, even making one forget who they are. She stood up solemnly and bowed to Derrick and Alice respectively: "Thank you for informing me, Mr. 'Sun', and thank you for your initial reminder, Miss 'Fate'."
"I was just mentioning it casually at the time," Alice waved her hand, indicating that she didn't mind, as she was merely voicing her guess back then.
Audrey's actions made Alger unable to continue pretending to be ignorant. He had to stand up and express his gratitude solemnly like Audrey. After receiving a similar response from Alice, he sat down.
Their actions made Derrick finally realize the value of his casually spoken words, understanding that what he considered common knowledge might be precious information to others. He silently reminded himself of this.
—After all, he couldn't always expect Alice, who wanted to trade information, to be around every time he was about to speak out.
After confirming that Audrey had nothing more to say, Alice looked at Alger with expectant eyes: "Mr. 'Hanged Man', the extraordinary person of the 'Monster' pathway you mentioned..."
"He's still on my ship," Alger responded with a frown, "I couldn't get the information you needed, but he told me that fate told him it's not time to disembark yet."
This familiar charlatan style left Alice speechless. From the way Mr. Fool pinched his brow, it seemed he also resonated deeply with this statement.
It took Alice a while to find her words: "Did he... uh, did fate tell him when it would be time to disembark?"
Alger shook his head, so Alice could only give up regretfully.
After everyone fell silent, Alger spoke: "Mr. Fool, Miss 'Justice', I have obtained new information. 'Hurricane Lieutenant'Qilangos infiltrated Backlund to complete a difficult task. He might stay there for a long time and cause horrifying incidents. Additionally, I know this matter involves a very important item that can helpQilangos quickly become a high-sequence powerhouse."
He naturally excluded Derrick, who was in an isolated place, and Alice, who was obviously not in Backlund and entangled with the offspring of an evil god, not knowing that Mr. Fool's situation was similar to Alice's.
In her observer's stance, Audrey quickly grasped the key points of Alger's words and asked him: "Quickly become a high-sequence powerhouse? Isn't he afraid of losing control?"
After all, according to the information,Qilangos was just a Sequence 6 "Wind Favored", still one sequence away from Sequence 4, a high sequence.
Alger had anticipated this and replied: "That's why the item is very important.
"Of course, this is just my speculation. The information I received is thatQilangos believes once he completes the commission and obtains the item, he can quickly be on par with 'King of the Five Seas' Nast and others, turning the 'Four Kings' among pirates into 'Five Kings' and reducing the seven pirate generals to six.
"Ordinary people might not know, but as extraordinary individuals, we should all be aware that the 'Four Kings' among pirates are either directly high-sequence powerhouses or possess high-sequence combat power with the help of extraordinary ships and magical items. ForQilangos to gain recognition and be on par with them, he must have a similar level of power, hence my speculation."
Derrick couldn't understand what Alger was saying, as the City of Silver didn't even have an ocean. Alice, on the other hand, propped her chin and listened to the story-like account.
"Your speculation is reasonable. Of course, it could also be an item comparable to a high-sequence powerhouse," Audrey responded with a slight smile.
Hearing Audrey's words, Alger emphasized again: "My description had two key points:Qilangos will stay in Backlund for a long time, and it involves a very important and possibly very magical item."
Seeing Alger's gaze towards Klein and his deliberate emphasis, Alice realized that Alger was actually requesting help from Mr. Fool's followers.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Mr. Fool had just reached Sequence 8... Thinking of this, Alice pressed her lips and lowered her head, restraining herself from laughing out loud.
This scene was noticed by Audrey, the "Observer", but even so, Audrey couldn't figure out what Alice was laughing at. In the face of information disparity, observation sometimes wasn't that useful.
As expected, Mr. Fool didn't respond as anticipated, only calmly saying: "I understand."
Seeing this, Alger could only sigh inwardly, suppress his disappointment, and began to exchange information with Audrey.
"...In short, we have roughly locked downQilangos's general activity area and are about to start a more in-depth search." Audrey first briefly explained the specific situation, then said with a sense of doing something important and serious, "We need more information, focusing onQilangos's preferences and habits."
Recalling, Alger said: "He likes eating fish, especially raw slices of ocean fish..."
Isn't he afraid of parasites? Oh, sea fish generally don't have parasites... Alice's thoughts followed Alger's words, habitually starting to complain in her mind.
"He likes drinking strong liquor, looks down on champagne and red wine..."
Alice, who was only allowed to drink non-alcoholic beverages, felt hurt.
"Once ashore, he always looks for women to vent, and his strong body makes a single woman unable to satisfy him..."
...Ah, this.
"He prefers using cold weapons, rejecting firearms."
Maybe he's very confident in his combat skills? After all, firearms indeed require less skill than cold weapons... After all, such a person couldn't possibly care about something like knightly honor, right?
"He finds it hard to stay away from water for long. I mean, he needs to swim or dive every few days."
Is this a side effect of an extraordinary item? Or is it a characteristic of the 'Sailor' pathway? It shouldn't be, otherwise, wouldn't the Storm Church members need to dive regularly? Never heard of that...
...
Audrey quietly listened to Alger's account, then smiled and said: "I hope we succeed. Happy cooperation."
"Happy cooperation." Without Mr. Fool's help, Alger could only respond.
