Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 410 Danitz's Sense of Crisis

“Thank you, Ms. Cattleya. If all goes well, we will be staying in Bansi Port for a day. If any unforeseen circumstances arise during this time, please help us contact Mr. Lucifer.” Little K first thanked him politely, and then, adhering to the principle of caution, gave him further instructions.

Although he, "Jack," and Little Amon all possessed life-saving items, such as talismans for the Gate Passage, Bansi Port was ultimately related to the First Creator, so just in case, they still had to be prepared to call for reinforcements.

“I understand.” Cattleya nodded. She naturally knew who Lucifer was and had a way to contact him.

The two then chatted for a few more minutes, mainly discussing several emergency plans, before setting off in a small boat with Xiao Ke and the others. They soon arrived at a secluded port in Bansi.

There were already people waiting to meet them there; they were Gadria's informants. So, under the informant's arrangement, the three of them began to wander around Bansi Port as ordinary tourists.

Unlike the original story where you arrive on the island at night and immediately encounter a grand spectacle, Bansi Port during the day looks no different from an ordinary tourist port. You can see tourists visiting the five seas everywhere, as well as pirates in disguise and adventurers of all kinds, from naive to experienced.

"Is there really a problem here?" After wandering around for a while, Little Amon, holding a Bansi specialty drink in his hand, looked puzzled and said, "Although there is indeed a decadent atmosphere, it feels very different from what Uncle Lucifer described!"

"It probably didn't trigger because it wasn't at a specific time. Maybe something special will happen tonight." Little K was also holding a cup of Bansi specialty drink. As he spoke, he pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses.

After the two finished speaking, they waited for a while, obviously waiting for the third person to speak. However, after several seconds, they did not hear "Jack's" voice and looked over, only to find Jack looking in a certain direction with great interest.

Little Ke and Little Amon then looked in that direction, and then they saw a man whose disguise was so terrible that it was almost unbearable. After a careful examination, the two, who had done their homework beforehand, recognized the man's identity.

That was Vice Admiral Iceberg's boatswain, nicknamed Danitz the Flame.

If Danitz is here, then Lieutenant General Iceberg must indeed be nearby… This thought flashed through Little K’s mind, just as he heard Jack say excitedly:

"German, let's go find you a maid!"

Xiao Ke: ?
"What maid?" Little K had some guesses in his mind. He knew some of the nicknames Jack used to tease the Hunter Path, such as Red Nanny, Red Maid, and so on.

“Of course it’s Danitz the Sun!” Rowling said matter-of-factly. “He’s your destined red maid.”

"Don't make it sound like I have some kind of special fetish," Xiao Ke couldn't help but complain.

“The Hunter Path really has a talent for being a maid; Little Red’s mother does it very well.” Little Amon next to him nodded in agreement.

"You're the one who's got the wrong idea!" Roland retorted without hesitation, then urged, "Quick, he's leaving, let's go and intercept him! Besides, this is for his own good. Bansi Port is so dangerous for ordinary hunters, it's safer for him to stay with us."

Hearing this, Xiao Ke wanted to complain again, but he didn't refute it. He knew a little about the special nature of Banshee Harbor for hunters—although he didn't know about the existence of Source Matter due to his Sequence, Xiao Ke had learned some related knowledge from Lucifer, Sasriel, and Medici, knowing that something similar to the Gray Mist existed in Banshee. Such a place was indeed not a good place for Extraordinary beings on the Hunter Path.

……

"Ache——"

Danitz rubbed his nose and couldn't help but frown. This was his third sneeze of the day, which was unbelievable for an arsonist with a very good constitution. It made Danitz wonder if he was being watched by someone.

But after carefully observing his surroundings, Danitz dismissed this possibility, thinking it might just be a coincidence. Even so, Danitz couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Let's finish this quickly and get back to the ship!"

As the boatswain of the Golden Dream, Danitz had his reasons for being in Bansi Port.

Danitz came to buy materials for concocting the Schemer's Potion.

Since his unfortunate encounter with Rolin in the City of Generosity, Danitz had been determined to learn from his mistakes and strive for improvement. Well, not really. Although Danitz was still shaken by Rolin's experience, he didn't actually have any intention of working hard to improve himself. He just wanted to stay on the ship and avoid the sudden appearance of a big shot.

Just a few days after Danitz returned to the Golden Dream and told the captain about his experience, his captain, Admiral Edwina, suddenly found him and told him that the formula for the Schemer's Potion had been found. A particularly annoying hunter named Anderson had also come to the ship. Anderson taught him something called the Acting Method and mocked him for not digesting the potion very well. He made him re-act the first few sequences.

Danitz was naturally indignant, but Anderson turned out to be a Sequence 5, and Danitz couldn't beat him, so he had no choice but to accept it. In addition, although he was angry, he was also self-aware, so he chose to honestly play the roles of the previous sequences again.

After Danitz had digested most of the potions in the series, he began to prepare for his advancement to the Schemer. Coincidentally, the Golden Dream was exploring a shipwreck treasure near Banshee Port, and there was also an Extraordinary Gathering in Banshee Port at the same time. So, in order to buy materials for the Schemer Potion, Danitz came to Banshee Port alone.

"I wonder when that annoying guy Anderson will leave. Why does the captain keep him on the ship all this time..." Danitz's expression turned bitter as he thought of that annoying guy. He was undoubtedly in love with Vice Admiral Edwina. In fact, not only him, but almost all the members of the Golden Dream were admirers of Vice Admiral Edwina.

However, Vice Admiral Edwina, the Iceberg, had never been interested in romantic relationships, immersing herself in the ocean of knowledge, so the atmosphere on the Golden Dream was relatively harmonious. Even Danitz was unaware of how many rivals he had on board.

Until Anderson arrived!

This isn't to say that Anderson is a suitor of Vice Admiral Edwina, or that the two are a couple. It's just that Anderson, this hunter, is really annoying. After boarding the ship, he's been stirring up trouble between them all day long. And according to Danitz's understanding, Anderson seems to be childhood sweethearts with their captain.

It must be said that this gave Danitz a great sense of crisis.
