Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 93: Adam, Danger! (Additional chapter for the first leader of this book, the Pigeon Hunter)
"Mr. Ash."

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming somewhat awkward, First Mate Blue smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Are you a believer of the Blazing Sun Church?"

Well known.

Only believers of the Church of the Blazing Sun habitually praise the sun.

"No."

Ember calmly shook her head.

"It's all gone."

Edwina looked at the crew members who were all looking at her and said calmly.

As soon as the crew heard the captain's voice, they immediately became excited and looked away, pretending to chat with the people around them.

"Mr. Ash, please follow me."

Edwina whispered as she carried the ember to the captain's dining room.

"hateful!"

The third officer with the flowery tie said sourly, "I don't even have the chance to dine with the captain, so why should he?"

"You too?"

Second mate Orpheus sneered and said mercilessly, "The captain would rather eat with a dog than with a loser like you."

"Orpheus! Damn it, I've been enduring you for so long!"

"Two second-hand goods."

First mate Blue moved away from the two men unnoticeably, with a blank expression on his face.

The captain was clearly only interested in the stranger's secret, and it had nothing to do with love between men and women.

As a result, these two idiots are actually fighting with each other here, which is really embarrassing.

But that’s fine.

The more embarrassed they are, the more it highlights their tolerance and composure.

only……

First mate Blue glanced towards the captain's dining room with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Damn it, he really wants to have dinner with the captain!

In the captain's dining room, Edwina said softly, "Don't pay attention to them. They do this every day."

"pretty good."

Ember said casually, "At least this will help promote harmony."

“Harmony?”

Edwina blinked, and after thinking about it, it seemed to be true.

Every crew member who joins the Golden Dream can always get along with others as quickly as possible.

In every sense.

Clearly, they are all working towards the same goal.

That target is the treasure!
The people on this ship are more like treasure hunters than pirates.

Their goal is to track down and dig up various legendary treasures on the sea, rather than plunder passing ships.

Although there were quarrels on a daily basis, there had never been a situation of infighting like on other pirate ships.

Edwina seemed to be thinking about something, but Yu Jin had already taken off his helmet.

He showed an ordinary face, silently picked up the spoon and started eating.

But Edwina couldn't help feeling disappointed when she saw Yu Jin's face, which was ordinary except for being somewhat handsome.

Because she didn't see the withered face of a living corpse that she expected.

The two of them didn't have much in common, so they both chose to remain silent during the meal.

Although Edwina wanted to explore the secret of the embers, she knew that too much is as bad as too little, and there was no entry point.

So I didn't show too much enthusiasm.

"Ms. Edwina."

During the meal, Yu Jin suddenly said, "Can you take me to Tuscat Island? I can pay you."

"can."

Edwina nodded gently. "No reward is required, but we must wait until we complete the expedition. The round trip will take about five days."

"Five days?"

Yu Jin fell into deep thought. Five days plus the three days needed to travel to Tuscat Island, a total of eight days.

It would take Mr. 'The Hanged Man' about a week to reach Tuscat Island, which was just enough time not to delay.

"Aren't you curious about the goal of our expedition?"

Edwina suddenly asked.

"Do not."

Just as Yu Jin was about to shake his head, Edwina continued to explain, "We are here to search for an ancient shipwreck. According to local legends, a ship from the God War Ruins sank nearby."

"And that ship may contain some information that can unlock the secrets of the God War Ruins."

"That's it."

Yu Jin nodded like a supporting actor, but he obviously lacked curiosity. He just stood up calmly and said, "I'm done. Thank you for the treat."

This made Edwina feel helpless.

If you are not curious, how can I legitimately explore the secrets of you?
Edwina stood up silently and led Yu Jin out of the restaurant.

It's just that when she left, she deliberately stopped at the door of the restaurant for a moment, and cast her gaze at the open room on the side.

Seeing Edwina suddenly pause, Yu Jin subconsciously stopped and looked towards the open room on the side.

“That’s the collection room.”

Edwina seized the opportunity and suddenly said, "Inside are the proofs of our treasure hunts. Some of them are just souvenirs, while others have not yet demonstrated their value and need to be studied."

"You seem very interested. Do you want to go in and take a look?"

"No, I'm not interested."

Yu Jin wanted to say that, but after a moment of silence he nodded.

Seeing that Yu Jin had finally taken the bait, Edwina's lips curled up slightly.

She led Yu Jin inside, and seemingly indifferently but in great detail introduced the various items in the collection room to him.

Finally, Yu Jin's interest was piqued a little.

"The second mate."

Yu Jin listened to Edwina's story in silence, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Orpheus, is the armor he is wearing also one of the collections?"

"That's it."

Edwina seemed to have expected Yu Jin to ask this question, and whispered, "That set of armor is a replica of the ancient Sun Knight armor collected by the Church of Knowledge. It has inherited some of the magical abilities of the ancient Sun Knight armor."

"That's it."

There was a hint of nostalgia in Yu Jin's eyes.

He actually knew very well that Orpheus was not the real Sun Knight.

I also know that the other party's praise of the sun is not the same as what I know.

But he still responded to the other party.

As for the ancient Sun Knight armor that Edwina mentioned, which was collected by the Church of Knowledge.

The embers were not a surprise.

The Church of Night was able to keep a painting of the world, and even cults like the Aurora Society had one.

Even if the other major Orthodox churches do not have a painting world, it is not surprising that they have some things that have come from the painting world.

He was interested, but not very interested.

After all, the information that a set of armor can contain is too limited.

As he was thinking, Yu Jin's attention was suddenly attracted by a parchment-bound book on the table.

With the help of the Eye of Wisdom, Yu Jin recognized a line of ancient Feysac language on the dark brown cover:

"Groselle's Travels".

"This is from a shipwreck on the seabed. It has been submerged for 165 years and is still intact."

Edwina noticed Ember's gaze and introduced, "It records that a giant named Grossel decided to go to the Frost Kingdom to hunt down the King of the North. On the way, he met many companions. But the story The progress came to an abrupt end when they confronted the King of the North, and the next few pages could not be opened by any means."

"Groselle's Travels."

Yu Jin was lost in thought. He caught a sense of familiarity in this so-called 'travel journal'.

He had experienced the same feeling before, which came from the thrill he felt when he first encountered the world of painting.

Try to open the book.

Just as Edwina said, the storyline stops when Groselle encounters the King of the North.

And after that there is a large amount of blank space, which cannot be opened no matter what.

It seems that the story is missing some key here and can't move forward.

"Do you know what it is?"

Edwina noticed the change in Ember's expression and asked, "If you can tell me the answer, I can sell it to you at a very cheap price."

For Edwina, only knowledge is priceless.

Objects that carry knowledge are important, but if she can't figure out the answer, she doesn't mind exchanging the object for the answer.

of course.

Need to pay more.

"How many?"

Ember asked casually.

"8000 pounds."

Edwina spoke calmly, but for some reason her eyes were fixed on the embers.

"Eight thousand pounds?"

Yu Jin was silent for a moment, lost in thought.

To be honest, the price of eight thousand pounds is indeed very cheap.

Although his weekly salary is only 100 pounds, it is only 5200 pounds a year.

But with the part-time job given by Earl Hall, it is 10400 pounds a year.

But Yu Jin had only been working for less than two months, and his total salary did not exceed one thousand pounds.

Even if you add the one thousand pounds the rich woman gives him every month, his total assets should not exceed three thousand pounds.

So logically speaking, he shouldn't be able to afford it.

However, in addition to the rich woman, Yu Jin also met a kind man who generously donated money. The kind man's name was Kapin.

The wealth he left to Yu Jin was not much, but it was still worth hundreds of thousands of gold pounds.

Enough to buy twenty copies of Groselle’s Travels.

The only question is whether Ember actually wants to buy the book.

From a personal perspective, Embers has a certain interest.

Because although this is not a real painting world, it may be related to the painting world in some way——

Maybe it's another attempt besides the world of painting.

So since there might be clues and the price is so cheap, there's no harm in buying it.

Just as Yu Jin was about to speak, Edwina said meaningfully, "If you don't have enough money, you can also use magical items instead. If you trust me, I can help you estimate the price, as long as the value is comparable."

"Need not."

Ember shook his head and casually took out some money and handed it over, "Eight thousand pounds, do you want to count it?"

"..."

Edwina looked at the stack of gold pounds that Yu Jin took out, opened her mouth but seemed to be hesitant to speak, and finally fell silent.

This stack of gold pounds undoubtedly completely disrupted her original plan.

She originally thought that the embers were the legendary 'ashes' her teacher had told her about, which had sunk into the sea for unknown reasons and remained dormant ever since.

He was recently accidentally rescued from the sea by the crew of the "One-eyed Skull". They mistook the ashes for an abandoned armor and brought it on board.

However, he never thought that this action would bring him fatal disaster.

The ember that was salvaged unexpectedly revived, killing everyone on board.

But there is a premise for all this.

That is, if Yu Cinder is really the legendary 'Ashes' and was recently salvaged from the sea by the 'Mad Captain', then he would undoubtedly be completely out of touch with the current society.

The "gold pound" used by the Kingdom of Loen should not be understood by the other party.

Even if it can be understood, the 'gold pound' understood by both parties should not be the same thing.

But the stack of gold pounds that Yu Jin took out was obviously issued by the Kingdom of Loen!

This proves that the other party is not out of touch with society.

Even being able to come up with so many gold pounds at one time proves that the other party should hold an important position in a certain organization.

But if that's the case.

And there is absolutely no explanation as to why the other party would appear on the ship of the "Mad Captain" for no reason!

These contradictory clues suddenly caused Edwina's brain to crash.

"Wait a moment……"

After finally organizing her thoughts, Edwina suddenly remembered something important. She was silent for a long time before she said, "We communicate in ancient Feysac, but Orpheus uses Loenese, which means..."

Before she finished speaking, Edwina suddenly fell silent in an awkward manner.

She has been neglecting a very important issue.

She had a preconceived notion that Yu Jin was an 'ancient', so she used the ancient Feysac language when communicating.

Because this language is not only the source of all common languages ​​in the modern Northern Continent, but also the common language of the Quaternary Period.

To communicate with the "ancients", one must naturally use the "ancients'" language.

But Orpheus's 'Praise to the Sun' is in Runic.

Yu Jin was able to understand and respond, which meant that he understood Loen.

But her common sense made her ignore this detail——

In her common sense, it is very normal for a person to be proficient in several languages.

She communicated with Ember in ancient Feysac, but she also knew many other languages, including Giant, Elven, Ancient Hermes, Hermes, and Loen.

It is precisely because of this that she has always had a misconception in her common sense that "if I can understand it, others can definitely understand it too."

If someone doesn't understand, then that person has intellectual disability.

Although most of the crew members on her ship had intellectual disabilities, they all became proficient in at least three languages ​​under her careful training.

So after a long time of getting along, her "common sense" prevailed.

It made her ignore the details that she could have noticed:

She could understand that an 'ancient' could speak ancient Feysac, but how could he possibly be fluent in Loen?

Although Loenese originated from ancient Feysac, the spoken languages ​​of the two sides are almost completely different.

There is no possibility that one can learn Loen language without any instruction if he knows ancient Feysac language.

And since Yu Jin understood Loen, she should have guessed that the other party was not a real "ancient"!
Then those tests she had just made, weren't they...

The more she thought about Edwina, the more embarrassed she became, and in order to avoid further embarrassment, she suddenly changed the subject abruptly.

"Mr. Ash, besides Loen and Ancient Feysac, how many other languages ​​do you know?"

“Yes and no.”

Yu Jin thought about it and answered seriously.

"Eh?"

Edwina blinked.

"I don't understand any of the language you speak."

Yu Jin opened his palm, and in the palm was a clean and smooth eyeball. He said calmly, "I can understand the language you use with the help of the Eye of Wisdom."

"Eye of Wisdom..."

Edwina looked at the eyes in Yu Jin's palm, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

She actually knew about this eyeball, which was one of the sealed objects kept by the Church of Knowledge.

But she thought that the name of this eyeball should not be the Eye of Mental Retarsion?
After all, only mentally retarded people who can't even understand the language need to use this eyeball.

After just a moment's thought, Edwina chose to remain silent.

Just think of it as the eye of wisdom.

PS: Ask a question.

It is known that 0-08 is the extraordinary characteristic of the audience channel sequence 1.

Secondly, it is known that Adam has uniqueness and one or two extraordinary characteristics.

The original book doesn’t explicitly state it, but I guess that ‘Groselle’s Travels’ is also a Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic.

There are four reasons:

First, the 'Sun God' is not based on the Visionary Sequence, so it only needs one copy of the Visionary's uniqueness and Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristics.

Second, after becoming a Sequence 0 Visionary, one can separate two copies of Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics without being affected.

That is to say, before the Fantasy Dragon was killed, two copies of Sequence 1 should have been separated.

One is the 'Nightmare Dragon' Al-Suhod, which is 0-08.

Another one with a high probability is Groselle's Travel Notes.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain what Groselle's Travels depends on.

Third, the Fantasy Dragon’s backup plan is to rely on Groselle’s Travels to attract 0-08 to come, so as to plan for resurrection.

And after his resurrection, he still has the foundation to compete with Adam for the position of visionary.

It is definitely not enough to rely on just one Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristics. Only with two Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristics can he ensure that he can compete with Adam who possesses uniqueness.

Fourth, if Adam possessed two copies of Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristics, he would only be 0-08 away from becoming a Visionary, and there would be no need to obtain Groselle’s Travels.

Of course, the above are just speculations.

After all, Squid did not clearly state in the original book whether Groselle's Travels was a Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic.

So I hope to gather ideas and see what the readers think.
