Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 313 How do you know that I caught a group of “big fish” at sea?

A place abandoned by God.

In the deep darkness, lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the surrounding area.

On the hill where only various monsters existed, a figure suddenly appeared. He was standing on the hill, looking down.

He was wearing a black classical robe and a pointed soft hat of the same color. He had black curly hair, black eyes, a broad forehead, and thin cheeks. He looked exactly like Amon.

The only strange thing was that he touched his monocle at this moment, and a smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, He grabbed a feather pen from the air and made it appear before His eyes.

"Now, my brother, can you tell me what that thing is?"

"You don't need to explore that question."

Adam responded to Amon's question casually, but his mentality was not as good as his words. On the contrary, after Amon had confirmed Star's suppression power on the "unique spirits", he felt a little tired.

He looked at the sea ahead, tapped four times on the silver cross pendant hanging on his chest, and uttered indifferent words through this temporary communication channel with a warm expression.

"But you should have a solution, right?"

Amon, who was in the God-forsaken Land, smiled, as if he knew his brother's character very well.

At this moment, the lightning subsided for a second, and darkness once again completely enveloped the entire God-forsaken land.

……

Rosde Sea, Bayam, Fragrant Tree Avenue.

In the large area from number 12 to number 16, there are usually people in front of the doors, but today, unusually, there are two people standing face to face.

One of them was holding up a few pieces of paper like documents in his hands, and a faint smile appeared on his charming face.

The other was a man in a black cloak, he looked to be about thirty years old, with burnt yellow eyebrows, deep blue eyes but bright, and not too deep features, like the race in southern Intis, Lunburg and Segar.

"I just found some property certificates in the basement here. It's really strange."

Seeing the real owner coming, Star bumped into Danitz head-on. As expected, he raised several contracts in his hand amid Danitz's defensive look.

"You are a 'thief'?"

Instantly, Danitz felt like his entire body was about to explode:
That was the property he had saved for so long and only spent it on risking his life at sea!
At this moment, seeing a "thief" taking the documents proving that the property belonged to him, Danitz felt uneasy for a moment.

shit!

Give me back my things!

If Danitz had not been worried about damaging the documents, he would have already fired a "fireball" at them.

"Don't mess around, you [beep beep]."

"I am a subordinate of Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina Edwards, the fourth boatswain of the Golden Dream, Flame Danitz."

"You were lucky enough to pass through the trap I set and get these certificates, which means you are not an ordinary person. You should know the meaning of these contents!"

As a "hunter", mastering the arrangement of various traps is the most basic knowledge reserve for all extraordinary people on this path.

Especially with the guidance of Captain Edwina, who has a church background, Danitz believed that he had done a thorough job in protecting the property documents. Even the locations of the certification documents were hidden enough, and even the location of the basement was difficult to be discovered.

But this person...

They actually managed to get through so many layers of defense and directly lock onto and obtain these certification documents.

This is not ordinary...

But since he has already obtained it, it means that he also possesses extraordinary powers.

Then, Danitz had to deal with it in a different way:

In other words, when the protective measures he had arranged were discovered, he should thank "fate" for making him run into the "thief" when he went out.

At this time, facing the effective guns of ordinary people, it will instead have a negative effect of stimulating the opponent.

However, it is difficult to guarantee the safety of the contract by fighting with the "Hunter"'s physical fitness and extraordinary abilities.

Therefore, Danitz chose to "provoke"!
Use language to make hidden "provocations"!
At the same time, with the "Pirate General" on the sea as a deterrent, anyone who goes out to sea must be able to understand the meaning behind this sentence - especially the Beyonders, who should also realize that this is a "Pirate General" representing the Sequence 5 level!
Among the mid-sequence extraordinary ones, not only is his strength among the best, he also has his own fleet!
However, after hearing what he said, Star was not frightened at all by Danitz's words. Instead, he patiently explained:
"Thief? No, I'm not."

"I'm just an extraordinary person passing by."

"You can assume that I have lost my way to the basement of your house at number 13 on Fragrant Tree Avenue."

get lost?

This reason could not convince Danitz:

"Then can you explain why my property certificate is in your hands?"

However, he still cooperated with the situation at this time:

"Can you give my things back to me, please?"

Danitz tried hard to suppress the tension in his words. Then his mind raced. With his rich experience in adventures, he forced himself to control himself and not let the conversation go in a direction that might intensify the conflict.

After all, he was not affected by his extraordinary ability at all, which meant that the person on the other side was at least not lower than him, and he was likely to have ways to deal with this kind of extraordinary ability.

Once this situation develops in a direction that requires fighting.

At that time, it would not only be a matter of proof of property ownership, but the extraordinary person in front of him, whose strength was unknown, might also take his life!
Although the disappearance of the property certificate is equivalent to taking his life...

However, Star walked up to him step by step, handed him the property certificates without any precautions, and said with a smile:

"Then give it to you?"

However, Danitz just reacted and raised his hand, his movements were slightly slow and blocked, and it seemed that he was not very willing to accept these property certificates.

Because he found that the warning from the "Hunter" did not appear at this time, but Star had clearly walked so close to him!

If this had happened in a battle, Danitz would have died long ago.

"Look at it in a positive way. At least he really has no ill intentions. He might just be lost..."

Danitz shuddered for no apparent reason, and in his heart he tried to excuse Star.

He swallowed and replied to Star:
"OK, thanks."

At this moment, he was not like the famous pirate "Flame" Danitz on the sea, but he seemed much more polite than the usual vulgar style of pirates.

"You're welcome."

Star was a little surprised by Danitz's gratitude.

He didn't even ask himself why he had to pick up some things when he was lost, and why he had to break so many traps?
But to be honest, after assembling the cards of the "Thief" series, I always feel like I can't control my hands. Especially since it comes from Amon, the angel king who is at the top of the "Thief" series.

Star mentally counted the ways to not use his own methods, but simply borrow the power of the "card". In this "error card":

The "decryption" of the "cryptologist" is often only slightly better than the "detection" of the "player". After the "decryption" itself has evolved from "stealing" to "stealing" and "time, fate" and other abstract things, it is also more powerful than the current "rolling dice" in some operations...

There is just one thing worth noting. I just brought Danitz's property certificate with me...

It is not known whether this is due to the nature of the "thief" or the influence of the mark of the "God of Mischief".

But Star felt that it must be due to the influence of the above two factors that made him act in this way.

It couldn't be that he wanted to see Danitz's "wonderful" expression after he got the property certificate, right?
He is not a "devil" who plays his role based on negative emotions. Stark does not have such unnecessary thoughts.

——If he hadn't taken away the property certificates, he would have wavered for a moment, and finally chose this route under the "dice guidance method" to get closer to the moment of "fate".

It did make Danitz feel uneasy.

"This guy must be extraordinary."

"How can you get lost directly to the safe?"

"But fortunately, he finally stopped and didn't bother me anymore..."

At this moment, Danitz was horrified and relieved, but he was also confused about what Sta was thinking.

And be vigilant...

He was able to "get lost" to the basement of house number 13 in the middle, knowing his secret (without revealing his pirate identity).

This kind of thing is scary no matter from which angle you look at it, especially when there are many unexpected things in the extraordinary world.

"Is he going to offend that powerful person at sea who has a high Sequence? But with such a look and such strength, there's no reason why he wouldn't be famous."

"Could he be a new adventurer? So he showed mercy just now because he heard the captain's reputation? Normally, if you leave him a way out, you won't fight him out of hatred when you meet him on the sea in the future."

"We must quickly tell the captain this news..."

A lot of speculations about the critical situation flashed through Danitz's mind, and he instinctively made his brain work faster, trying to think about how to escape.

His body was somewhat tense, yet relaxed at the same time to be friendly.

Running away directly would make him seem guilty, but the other party seemed to have no intention of hunting him because he was in the wrong. Perhaps a good communication at this time could buy him more time.

"Anyway, the captain is nearby, so I can contact her secretly. Or if the time is up and I don't return to the ship, she can come over to investigate."

As a crew member, Danitz was still very confident in the strength of the captain, Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina.

At this time, the person opposite asked as if he was chatting with his family:
"You just said you are 'Flame' Danitz?"

"Why did you sneak over here at this time?"

This is my house, can't I come over and take a look... Danitz complained in his heart, but he reluctantly nodded and said:

"I'll come up..."

No, we can't let on that the captain is nearby...

Danitz finally reacted at this moment, and then said to Star casually:

"I'm on vacation..."

After a pause, in order to prevent Sta from wondering why pirates still have a holiday, Danitz continued:
"You are also an adventurer. You should know that there are different groups of people on the sea. Many people come here for the treasures on the sea. For example, legends such as 'Ghost Empire', 'Solomon's Legacy', 'Secret of the Fountain of Youth', 'Key of Death', 'Sunken Laurel' and 'Roselle's Secret Treasure' still attract groups of people to the sea."

"Of course, we on the Golden Dream are also like this, gathering together to search for treasure."

"That's why we are different from other pirate groups. We are a pirate group made up of adventurers. Although we have robbed ships, we only robbed merchant ships and passenger ships when we were extremely poor, and we would not harm innocent people. Our main focus is on finding treasures, and we often get rewards. Really, I once slept on a bed made of gold coins. If we encounter other pirate ships, we will also attack them to obtain supplies."

"Therefore, we treat our crew differently from other pirate groups."

"Depending on their status, the crew of our 'Golden Dream' have different number of days off each month, but they can only be accumulated together and staggered..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly cursed in a low voice:
"Shit, we missed the best chance to find the 'Ghost Empire' two years ago because the captain was on vacation!"

"let me tell you……"

Then, Danitz mentioned the interesting experiences he had during the previous expedition, hoping to have a normal conversation with Star and forget the unpleasant things that happened just now.

At this moment, he also skillfully memorized the guidelines and treatment that the captain had explained to them when he asked them to find someone. He did not expect that it would be of great use at this time.

This can also be used to divert Star's attention to some extent.

This was not sacrificing the dignity of “Flame” Danitz, it was just a “rhetoric” used to adapt to the situation.

As long as he could hold out long enough to wait for the captain to pay attention to him, then, not to mention revenge, he could at least escape from his hands.

However, the opponent did not play by the rules:

"Is that so?"

"Then... add me in?"

What do you want to do? Danitz instinctively became alert and was frightened by Sta's unexpected idea.

On second thought, this is a good opportunity.

Wouldn't it be possible for him to get away if he could just bring him to the captain?
It is not even necessary to do so. It is not impossible to bring him nearby and then say that the captain rejected him.

"Yes, we are both adventurers, and we must dream of treasure."

"We, the 'Golden Dream', are here for the treasure as well. Why not welcome us?"

Danitz spoke these words enthusiastically to Star.

"Then take me to see it quickly?"

Star looked at the choice indicated by "rolling the dice", and wanted to speed up the plot as if he had chosen the "follow him" branch in the game.

But this actually made it difficult for Danitz on the opposite side to deal with it.

At this moment, Danitz was a little suspicious whether the previous explanation had worked, but he quickly dismissed the idea:
No, with such strength, it is not so easy to bribe him.

When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on. Could he be targeting the captain?
This idea was quickly "reasonably" dismissed:
It's impossible. The captain is a "big pirate" worth 23000 pounds. No matter how powerful the extraordinary person on the opposite side is, he will never have such a "wrong idea".

So Danitz thought about it and quickly agreed:

"can."

At the same time, Star looked at Danitz opposite him with some surprise:
He was clearly not ready to use his extraordinary ability to "convince" Danitz, so how did he convince himself?
Thinking of the "contrast" behind it, Star suddenly understood something, but he was not afraid. Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth with a relaxed attitude:
As long as this "big fish" enters the game, it is better than waiting on the sidelines...
