บท 439: Chapter 440: Klein Feels Exhausted
Lynn could easily tell what Danitz was thinking, so he simply patted him on the shoulder and said, "By the way, go tidy up a room. After that, move in with us."
Since Lynn wasn't short on money, the two of them naturally stayed in a first-class cabin, which had plenty of room for one more person.
Thus, Danitz dejectedly went off to pack his things. He didn't even consider running away, because in the vast sea, where could he escape to? He wasn't a Beyonder of the Storm Pathway, so jumping into the sea would only get him drowned.
Especially since the other side knew his true identity. If he ran now, he might even implicate the captain.
Klein, after Danitz left, lowered his voice and asked, "Isn't that a bit too much?"
"I didn't force him. At most, I just scared him a little. You could say Danitz really needs to grow up." Lynn spread his hands, blatantly lying with open eyes. Then he added, "Besides, we have the complete Hunter Pathway potion formulas. We're not going to hurt him. Trust me, he won't regret his choice."
For a moment, Klein didn't know what to say. He knew Lynn's seemingly gentle but actually domineering personality. Lynn was indeed a good person, but not one to deeply respect the will of others.
Or rather, Lynn only respected the will of his friends.
Sometimes, Klein felt that, apart from his friends, others seemed like mere paintings to Lynn. He would protect them, admire them, and even be willing to sacrifice himself to save the world, but the paintings would never truly hold a place in Lynn's heart.
Lynn stood on the side of light out of responsibility or something else, not because of traditional kindness.
Klein had noticed the same thing in the Angel of Secrets, but this feeling was amplified in the fused version of Lynn.
"What about the Church of the Sea God? Is Kalvetua really going to die? Are you trying to obtain its Beyonder Characteristics? I wasn't aware Mr. Fool planned to adopt another alias." Klein sighed and shifted the topic, asking a series of questions while sharply looking at Lynn.
"Uh..." Caught off guard by the barrage of questions, Lynn looked around sheepishly before answering after several seconds, "But that's a Sequence 3! If we can get Kalvetua's Characteristic, we'll have our very own Sequence 3 mystical item. Isn't that good?" Lynn looked at Klein with genuine confusion in his eyes.
Faced with such an earnest look from Mr. Fool, Klein could only sigh again. He knew that all of Lynn's actions were probably out of good intentions, so he finally said, "And what about this Sea God alias?"
"Because Mr. Fool lacks a foundation in the outside world. Although the people of Silver City will come out eventually, it will take a long time. Even when they do, they'll need someone to assist them, so I thought, why not pick up a small church..." Lynn blinked and then suddenly spoke with confidence, "If you don't want it, I'll take it for myself. I'm also short on people, but I figured you needed them more, so I'm giving it to you. Don't fail to appreciate my good intentions!" His tone gradually grew more arrogant.
"And then make me a tool to work for you?" Klein gave Lynn a sidelong glance.
"Hahaha, you've got it." Lynn chuckled a few times, then gave Klein a thumbs-up, looking as though he'd completely shaken off any sense of guilt.
"Fine..." Mr. Fool shook his head, helpless. "We'll see once the Sea God alias is officially in place..."
After all, who could stop a husky from running wild?
Mr. Fool certainly couldn't.
As Klein pondered this, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. He finally began to understand why Mr. Door's expression was always so strange and complex whenever Lynn was mentioned.
Klein had never fully understood what kind of mischievous child Lynn must have been in the Fourth Epoch, but after spending just a few days with this unrestrained version of Lynn, he was beginning to relate to Mr. Door's exasperation.
'No wonder every version of Lynn needs to have a guardian. Without one, who knows how far he would go...' Klein rubbed his temples, glancing at Lynn, who seemed like a happy husky with an imaginary wagging tail. After a moment of contemplation, he solemnly said, "Lynn, if you have any plans in the future, make sure to tell me before you act."
After a pause, Mr. Fool added, "The Angel of Secrets' plans as well."
"No problem, we're partners after all. Information must be shared." Lynn flashed a bright smile and gave Klein an 'okay' hand gesture, looking unexpectedly reliable for once.
…
It turned out that even a husky had its reliable moments.
At least in the following days of travel, Lynn didn't cause any trouble.
Perhaps it was because the timeline hadn't aligned yet, but Lynn and Klein didn't encounter the events of Port of Bayam as described in the original plot. In fact, their journey went smoothly, and the passenger ship arrived at the City of Generosity without making any stops at Bayam Port.
"This is the City of Generosity, huh? It feels so different from Backlund!" Lynn stood on the deck, slowly moving towards the dock with the rest of the passengers while gazing at the famous city from a distance.
"City of Generosity," Bayam, the capital of the Rorsted Archipelago, was situated on an island called Blue Mountain Island.
The reason this place was called the City of Generosity was mainly due to Blue Mountain Island's vast size, accounting for almost half of the Rhosid Archipelago. The island boasted abundant resources like iron, silver, gold, and coal, as well as fertile lands, dense forests, and a rich variety of fruits. It was practically a paradise land.
Perhaps, one day in the future, when its mines are depleted, and its lands no longer fertile, people may lose interest in the city. But for now, it remained one of the focal points of the Five Seas.
"Of course, while Backlund is known as the City of All Cities, Bayam has..." As a pirate who had spent years roaming the seas, Danitz instinctively began to explain, though he quickly lowered his voice after only a few words. "Of course, I don't mean any disrespect to Backlund. It's just that each city has its own strengths."
After spending several days together, Danitz had come to understand more about Gabriel and Gehrman. It seemed like this was their first time in the Five Seas, and they probably had spent most of their time in Backlund—if not being native Loen citizens.
"Don't worry, I'm not too familiar with Backlund myself. Go on with the introduction." Lynn waved dismissively as he listened to Danitz's soft explanation. Meanwhile, they finally reached the dock, and Lynn's gaze quickly locked onto a figure in the crowd.
Although the figure was low-profile and dressed rather plainly, likely with some kind of perception-reducing buff attached, Lynn noticed them at once and recognized who it was—Admiral of Stars, Cattleya.
