Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 406 Nast Solomon's Invitation

Roger nodded slightly upon hearing this:

"Of course, but I suggest you don't buy in with a large position. Although this stock is definitely going to rise in the long run, there are still a lot of variables involved."

Unlike the oil trade, there are now many competitors in the maritime trade due to the recovery of trade after the North Continent War.

Although Roger had a strong maritime escort force, he could not guarantee that he would ultimately emerge victorious from this competition. Therefore, he did not advocate any aggressive investment strategies to avoid misleading the members of the "Tarot Club".

"In any case, this is just an experiment at this stage. There will be a bigger opportunity later, and it depends on whether you can seize it."

Roger's words excited Klein, who had calmed down somewhat—in fact, he could now guess what Roger was doing.

As Mr. World, he often interacted with "The Magician" Fors offline and knew that this girl was currently tinkering with some steam excavation equipment. Combined with Roger's series of words and actions, Klein was basically certain that Roger had most likely discovered oil on an alien planet.

Oil, that's oil!

That's a bombshell that could bring about the Second Industrial Revolution. The pie is unimaginably big, and anyone with foresight has a good chance of getting a huge share of the profits.

Thinking this, Mr. Fool's eyes darted around, quickly scanning everyone present, before he manipulated Mr. World and chuckled as he spoke:
"Then I'll have to trouble you to give me more pointers."

"of course."

Mr. Wheel of Fortune smiled and said:

"After all, this is a major issue concerning the future economic security of our organization."

"This……"

Mr. Wheel of Fortune's words made Gehrman Sparrow of The World pause. He sensed a hint of mockery in them, but couldn't be sure.

Just as he was pondering Roger's meaning, he heard the latter looking at Miss "Magician" on his own:
"Especially you, Miss 'Magician,' you have made the most outstanding contribution to this matter. As long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to save up enough funds to advance to demigod soon."

"A demigod? Someone in the 'Tarot Club' is about to become a demigod again?"

This statement immediately stunned everyone. If it were just someone else saying it, it wouldn't matter, but everyone already knew how much weight Mr. "Wheel of Fortune" carried.

It sounded as if this saint had already foreseen the scene of the "magician" lady's ascension to demigodhood, and coupled with the former's mention of the latter's outstanding contributions to him, they couldn't help but let their imaginations run wild.

Alger, in particular, was the first member of the Tarot Club to become a Sequence 5 Extraordinary besides Mr. Fool's two companions and Ms. Cattleya the Hermit. However, it seems that his progress is much slower than Ms. Magician's, which makes him feel anxious from the bottom of his heart.

"And you, Mr. 'Moon'."

As everyone was lost in thought, Roger turned to "The Moon" Emlyn and spoke.

"Ah I?"

Emlyn, the "moon," was taken aback. He didn't realize for a moment why this topic had brought him into the conversation.

Although he had made some progress in digesting the "Crimson Scholar" potion, it wasn't very fast overall, so Emlyn didn't know why a topic related to demigods had brought him into the conversation.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," speak:
"I met with Duke 'Full Moon' last time to discuss future cooperation, and if I'm not mistaken, there's a very high chance that this cooperation will be successful."

"When the time comes, as the matchmaker, the higher-ups of the vampire clan will definitely consider your contribution and help you get a promotion."

"After you advance to become a demigod, your financial expenses will be much greater than before, so you can also consider this aspect."

As he spoke, a smile played on his lips. Roger knew in his heart that Lilith would not be able to refuse the offer he made. After all, it was a matter of great importance that could protect the lives of herself, the vampires, the Church of the Earth Mother, and even many believers. In addition, with the support of "Goddess of the Night" Amanisis and "Dreamer" Adam behind him, there was a high probability that she would agree to this matter.

If He agrees, Roger will have officially brought Lilith onto his ship, and when he advances in rank, the "Earth Mother Goddess" will naturally be able to provide support.

In addition, Roger's reason for allying with Lilith was because he had a guess about the future of his unique identity.

However, because this conjecture is somewhat counterintuitive, he must rely on Lilith's power to verify it and see if his idea is correct.

"Thank you, Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune'."

Upon hearing this, Emlyn, the "moon," suddenly understood. He was very excited and expressed his gratitude.

In fact, after he had made the connection last time, Roger knew almost nothing about what he had discussed with "Duke of the Full Moon" Olmer, and Marquis Nibais had not updated him with much information. But hearing Roger say this now, Emlyn knew that the negotiations between the two parties seemed to be going very smoothly.

"You are Welcome."

After Roger's attempt to smooth things over, Mr. World's suspicions subsided somewhat.

He looked at the "magician" lady and said:

“Miss Magician, how’s the book I commissioned you to write and publish coming along?”

"You mean that collection of urban legends?"

"Magician" Fors immediately recalled what Mr. "World" had mentioned when they met before, and asked in return.

"Correct."

“The World” Gehrman Sparrow nodded slightly:
"Is there any help you can provide?"

"Not for now, Mr. 'World'."

Miss Magician shook her head:
"In fact, I sent the manuscript to the publisher a few days ago, which was a little later than expected. I had been helping Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune' for a while and forgot that I had finished writing the manuscript."

"The editors at the publishing house have a very high opinion of this series of stories, and if all goes well, it will be published soon according to your request."

"That's good."

Mr. World nodded slightly, seemingly very satisfied.

"A collection of urban legends?"

Upon hearing this, Roger, the Wheel of Fortune, narrowed his eyes slightly. He realized that this was Klein's attempt to digest the "Trickster" potion, and it seemed that he had grasped the key to the problem.

In the original story, Klein digested the "Trickster" potion by creating eerie legends in the city and frightening the "Red Angel" evil spirit with bizarre stories, and it seems that he is currently on the same path.

"By the way, the 'Red Angel' should be in Trier..."

Roger's eyes flickered. After the Ince Zangwell incident, he temporarily relinquished control of the "Red Angel" evil spirit, allowing it to travel to Trier to seek the extraordinary properties of the "Hunter's Path" and grow stronger once again.

Considering the current situation, Klein already knows the background of the "Red Angel" evil spirit, and he may want to use the latter's status to digest the potion, just like in the original story.

Of course, there is another possibility: that this guy will use Palles Zoroastrian's status to digest the potion, but considering that Klein has most likely not returned to Backlund yet, this possibility is relatively small.

Roger currently has no way of knowing the specifics of the situation.

On the other hand, considering that Trier is a city full of secrets, and given the previous descent of the "Eternal Sun," it is possible that Klein might use this incident to create a real-life version of a bizarre urban legend in Trier.

"Speaking of which, if it really is the latter route, then I really feel sorry for Pales."

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," sighed slightly. He had to admit that his thought process was indeed very similar to Klein's.

He had previously used Palles to help Cecilia digest the potion, so if Klein did the same thing now, it would be too abstract.

If it weren't for the old man's good temper and his inability to grasp the true nature of the "Tarot Society," he might have really dealt a heavy blow to the "Tarot Society."

However, as long as Klein can find the correct pathway to digest the potion, becoming an "Ancient Scholar" is just around the corner.

At that time, it should be the beginning of his direct confrontation with Amon.

When Klein previously mentioned losing the Mystic Puppet Maggie Lopez, Roger suspected that Amon wanted to use the Mystic Puppet for something, but Klein didn't ask Roger about it, nor did he break the rules or offer any warnings.

Seeing that everyone had finished saying what they wanted to say, Derrick Berg, the "Sun," spoke up:
"We have completed our first exploration of the 'Giant's Court,' with one dead, one missing, and seven survivors."

"Thanks to the supernatural music provided by Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune,' our losses were much lower than expected."

"Tell me the details."

Roger the Wheel of Fortune and Alger the Hanged Man spoke at the same time, saying the same words. They looked at each other and then turned to look at Derrick.

...We first successfully reached the main gate of the royal court, where we saw two 'Silver Knights' in an unknown state guarding the area; this was the Sequence 3 name of the 'Giants' pathway.

Upon hearing Derrick's account, everyone in the "Tarot Club" felt a sense of awe.

Two Sequence 3 demigods guarding the main gate perfectly matched their perception of the grandeur of the "Giant's Court," the ancient god's kingdom. Mr. "Sun" didn't pause, continuing on his own:
"Because of this deterrent, we dared not enter directly through the main gate, but instead went around through a more secluded passage on the side."

"As Mr. 'World' has suggested, this path is viable."

"We encountered some monsters along the way, most of which were 'vengeful spirits.' After we eliminated them, we successfully reached the 'Decaying Forest.'"

"There, a malevolent spirit, formed from the remnants of the Giant King's will and the power of the divine realm, guards the tombs of my parents..."

After Derrick the Sun recounted his experience, the group learned that they had purified the evil spirit with the help of Colin Iliad's power, and then they saw the remains in the coffin.

Strangely, they were the remains of two humans, not the giants they had originally imagined.

This information surprised everyone. They had originally thought that so-called humanoid superhuman races existed independently, but if the Giant King's parents were both human, it could point to a rather chilling fact.

That is, it is possible that the origin of all humanoid superhuman beings is actually humans!

Among all the participants in the "Tarot Club," the "Hermit" Cattleya and the "Moon" Emlyn reacted particularly strongly to this matter.

The former was because she had a feeling that her "mystic" potion would be significantly digested after she left the party.

This is high-level, esoteric knowledge about an ancient, extraordinary race, and it concerns her evolutionary understanding of many extraordinary pathways on the mystical side.

This knowledge happens to perfectly match the needs of "mystics" to digest potions. For this path that takes "knowledge is power" to the extreme, the more little-known knowledge one acquires, the stronger one becomes.

As for why Emlyn was shocked, it was because he himself was a vampire.

Like many other vampires, Emlyn has always been proud of his identity since childhood.

This pride is not only for humans, but also for other extraordinary races. As one of the very few humanoid extraordinary races that have survived from ancient times to the present, the heritage of this race is unimaginable to ordinary people.

But now Emlyn is starting to doubt his own origins.

If the ancestors of the Titans were humans, then the vampires could also be monsters that mutated after consuming extraordinary traits. This idea had a strong impact on Emlyn's worldview.

In the self-perception of vampires, they are created by their progenitor, who possesses noble authority representing "life" and "creation." They have a special sense of superiority, not only compared to humans but even to the giant race who only know how to fight.

However, this understanding was now shaken by Derrick's words. Emlyn's rationality and intuition told him that Derrick had no motive to lie about this matter. After all, the people of "Silver City" themselves had some giant blood. If the latter deliberately said this, it would be equivalent to self-denial in a sense.

In contrast, Leonard the "Star", Fors the "Magician", and Hugh the "Judgment" appeared more composed. After all, this information did not contradict their own understanding of the supernatural world too much, but it did not have much relevance to reality.

After all, they are all just human beings. Even if the progenitor of giants was a giant, a human, or even a curly-haired baboon, these things are not very important, at least not to them.

However, what Mr. "Sun" told them next greatly shook their understanding.

After passing through the "Decaying Forest," they entered the interior of the "Giant's Court" through the "Desolate Tunnel," where they encountered the forces of "Corruption," "Secrets," and "Cycles of Fate," and thus witnessed the history of the "Redemption Rose."

"The two conveners of the 'Redemption Rose' are the 'Dark Angel' Sasriel and the 'Goddess of the Night' Amanisis..."

Upon hearing this, Miss Justice, Mr. Star, and Ms. Judgment felt as if their minds were about to crash.

For no other reason than that they are all believers in the darkness, not to mention that "Star" Leonard himself is a clergyman of the "Goddess of the Night" church. Hearing such information now, it is inevitable that he would be shocked.

Next, "The Sun" Derrick named more participants.

From "Pure White Angel" and "Wind Angel" to "God of War" and "Earth Mother Goddess", then to "God of the Dead" and then to "God of Spirits"... Derrick even uttered their real names. These names echoed in the "Tarot Club" hall, and for a moment everyone was timid and dared not speak, for fear of incurring divine punishment.

In a daze, Mr. Fool spoke at the opportune moment:
"The 'fallen creator' was thus born."

After a long silence, Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," broke the silence first:

"Everyone, please be careful. Once you're back in reality, do not say any of those names you just heard..."

Before he could finish speaking, everyone nodded vigorously, as if afraid of being even a fraction of a second behind.

Roger found it somewhat amusing. He nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Afterwards, "World" Gehrman Sparrow promoted the mushrooms produced by a mushroom king in the "Star Pirate Crew" to "Sun" Derrick, which successfully aroused Derrick's interest. As for the price, he asked the latter for the potion recipe of the "Ancient Alchemist".

This drove the "Hermit" Cattleya to the brink of madness, and she began to regret leaving Frank Lee outside before entering the "Forsaken Land".

She had just helped Frank obtain the "Druid" extraordinary trait not long ago, but heaven knows what he was doing outside and what unknown communication he had with Mr. "World" that the latter now wants to help Frank advance to become a Sequence 4 demigod!
This was simply too incredible. At this moment, Cattleya seemed to have a premonition of the world's destruction.

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," chuckled dryly without speaking. Afterward, the group chatted about other things for a while, and then Mr. Fool announced the meeting was adjourned.

After returning to reality, Roger let out a long breath and then stepped out onto the deck for some fresh air.

That evening, "Justice" Audrey contacted them, saying that she had inquired and that Viscount Grelint had a friend who was currently working at the Backlund Stock Exchange and could help approve the listing of some high-quality companies that were not yet established.

Of course, this came at a price, but after evaluation, Roger determined it was well worth it and asked Audrey to help make the connection.

The following day, Roger discovered another pirate ship impersonating his crew. Roger arrested the captain and, after questioning him, discovered that the man's backer was also Kovaro.

This left Roger speechless. Fortunately, not long after he locked the pirates in a space behind a door on the "Star Lord," Alger the Hanged Man contacted him.

“Dear Mr. Fool, please tell Mr. Wheel of Fortune that, according to my investigation, Kovarro is most likely currently active near Blue Mountain Island. Here is his photo.”

After saying this, Alger showed Roger a black and white photograph several times. Only after confirming that Roger could see it clearly did he put the photograph down and say:

"Praise you, Mr. Fool."

Roger quickly exited the gray fog space. He had already memorized Kovaro's face. With this clue, even without the information that Kovaro was active on Blue Mountain Island, he could find Kovaro's true location through "undercover foresight".

Of course, to guard against any counter-prophecy or divination methods the other party might use, Roger went directly to the "Original Core" and performed an astrological reading there.

The astrological results showed that Alger's information was very accurate; Kovaro was indeed currently procuring supplies on Blue Mountain Island, which reassured Roger.

If Roger can find Kovarro, he can find Nast Solomon, the "King of the Five Seas," and then Roger will know what the other party is up to.

Roger then entered the Rose Garden, where he met Rosanne, who was gazing at the sky.

"Hey sis, what are you doing?"

Roger greeted Rosanne while looking up.

He should have looked away, because once he did, he froze on the spot.

Because at this moment, in the sky above the Rose Garden, there was the newly born star field that appeared in the "Original Dynamic Core" after he was promoted to "Black Prophet"!

At this moment, Rosie seemed to be influencing that interstellar space with her own will, gathering dust around the virtual point that symbolized Roger himself, as if trying to make this star field rotate.

"This...this...you...you..."

Roger was somewhat incoherent for a moment. He had tried to influence that star field several times, but found that he could only stir up dust in a small area and could not do anything else.

But at this moment, Rosie was able to gather those interstellar dust together, a large-scale operation that completely exceeded Roger's expectations.

"Could it be related to me digesting the 'Black Prophet' potion?"

As Roger was speculating, Rosanne suddenly turned her head and laughed:
"elder brother."

"What are you doing?"

Roger asked curiously.

"Some time ago, I was bored and looked up at this spiritual sky, and I accidentally switched to this perspective."

"At first I didn't know what it meant, until one time I couldn't sleep and switched to this perspective again, and I was surprised to find that my will could actually affect these dust particles."

“This reminds me of some things my physics teacher talked about about the universe back in physics class. I’ve been trying to get these dust particles to rotate around that central point these past few days, but I haven’t succeeded yet.” Roger’s mouth gaped open as he listened to Rosanne’s description, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

He and Rosie determined the exact time, and discovered that Rosie was able to significantly control this interstellar dust cloud after he had fully digested the "Black Prophet" potion. This discovery excited Roger.

He had previously noticed that Rosie seemed to be able to conjure things freely in the rose garden, but he hadn't thought much of it and even tacitly approved of this behavior. But now he found himself seemingly acknowledging Rosie's dominant position in this area without realizing it.

Thinking of this, Roger couldn't help but feel a little worried. He left the rose garden and went straight to the center of the stone platform.

There, the three extraordinary properties of Sequence 1 and one extraordinary property of Sequence 2 still floated quietly above the closed monocular eye, while the light of "Amra's Guidance" remained subdued and showed no sign of overflowing.

All of this indicates that the seal of the "Key to the Gate" is still in effect, which confirms Roger's belief that what is inside Rosanne is not the manifestation of Gherros's will, and he is thus completely at ease.

"By the way, if Roxanne is part of my secret, then can she also be considered part of me?"

Roger suddenly realized this, and then he thought that the two were originally siblings and had similarities in the mysticism.

It was precisely because of this, and because Roger had digested the "Black Prophet" potion, that the girl seemed to have also gained some access to the spiritual sky.

"Of course, there's another possibility..."

Roger thought for a moment, then initiated the prayer ritual for the "Key to the Gate" again, and entered the "Ring" vision through the intimate experience with the latter.

After a while, he opened his eyes in shock.

Roger discovered that the "ring" he had previously broken seemed to have been partially repaired!

This missing piece is his memory of Rosanne from when he was Roger, not Roger Abraham, which intertwines the two destinies and makes his occult existence even more mysterious and unpredictable.

Roger was deeply shocked as he exited the "Ring's" field of vision, and he remained unable to calm down for a long time.

He pondered for a long time before returning to the rose garden.

"elder brother……"

When Roger returned, Roxanne looked like a child who had done something wrong. She stopped fiddling with the spiritual sky and looked at Roger with a pitiful expression.

"If you think I did something wrong, then I won't..."

"Do not."

Roger shook his head and said:
"You did a great job, keep it up."

Roger also sat opposite Rosanne:
"However, I suspect the reason you can't make those dust particles swirl around the center right now is because I haven't yet advanced to become a Sequence 2 'Astral Singer'."

"Of course, that doesn't mean that's all you can do in that interstellar space. I suspect there are other things you haven't discovered yet."

"You can try exploring it again. If there are any new developments, please let me know in time."

"……it is good."

After repeatedly confirming that Roger wasn't angry, Rosanne continued to ask:

"Brother, what exactly is this interstellar space?"

"I do not know."

Roger shook his head, and then said:

"But I have a guess."

Next, he looked at Rosanne and said:
“You once said that you came out of my secret, and I have just confirmed that you are right.”

“I suspect that this spiritual sky is related to the divine kingdom I will have after I become a god.”

"God's Kingdom?"

Luo Shan was stunned:
"Like those demi-planes described in novels?"

"You even know about demiplanes?"

Roger was stunned.

"Of course, I read male-oriented content all the time."

Rosanne said sullenly, seemingly annoyed that her brother didn't pay much attention to her hobbies.

"Yes, if you put it that way, it is indeed somewhat similar to a demiplane."

Roger nodded slightly:

“I suspect that this divine kingdom is related to secrets and creation, and you, as an existence separated from my memories, should originally belong to this unborn divine kingdom and be its original inhabitant.”

"That's why you were able to see that newly formed star field and, with my consent, exert influence on it."

After saying this, Roger waved his hand, revealing the star field to himself and Rosanne once again.

"Gheros's divine kingdom is definitely not something simple... I just think that this divine kingdom seems to require a construction process, and because of its destiny and the independence of its secrets, it may also have a certain degree of independence."

"Does independence mean... that your divine realm will be independent of Gherus?"

After a moment's thought, Rosie realized the meaning behind Roger's words.

"Yes, and this may become the cornerstone for me to fight against the will of Gherros when I finally become an Old One."

Roger nodded, lowered his hands, and the spiritual sky vanished once more, transforming into a projection of the spirit world.

"Furthermore, I don't know why, even though I have now fully digested the 'Black Prophet' potion, I still can't create anyone other than you."

Roger shook his head. He had just tried to pull his parents out of the "secret," but he had failed once again.

"If we can't create humans, what about animals?"

Rosanne blinked and voiced an idea:
"After all, if it's an animal, it's relatively simpler and doesn't have a complete personality. Maybe with your current abilities, you can create one."

"animal?"

Roger paused, then tried to raise his hand, recalling the little white hamster he had raised as a child.

A moment later, he heard a dog barking, and at the same time, he felt as if he had become a little bit whole again.

Opening his eyes, Roger saw Rosanne holding an adorable puppy that was only two months old, and he called out softly:
"Miqiu...is that you?"

Rice ball...

Roger was also somewhat dazed. This was the dog he had when he was a child. Rosam gave birth to Miqiu when Miqiu was two years old. She loved riding Miqiu when she was little, and Miqiu had always protected and taken care of Rosam without complaint.

When Rosie was seven years old, Miqiu died after being poisoned by a dog meat vendor. This devastated the siblings, and it took them a long time to recover.

Seeing Rosanne crying while hugging Miqiu, Roger couldn't help but feel dazed.

After a while, he touched the rice ball, and the rice ball lay down with its belly exposed, just like when it was a child.

This made Roger's vision blurry, and it took him a long time to recover and stand up again.

"That's good. With Miqiu by your side, I can feel a little more at ease for now, and I don't have to worry about you being too lonely here."

After a pause, he said again:
"In short, I think things will change further after I become the 'Astral Singer'."

"In short, you need to pay a little attention to the task I just gave you, as it seems to be of great importance."

Hearing Roger's words, Rosie nodded emphatically:
"it is good."

"call."

Roger breathed a sigh of relief. He and Rosie played with Miqiu for a while longer before reluctantly returning to the deck of the "Star Lord".

He glanced up at the sky, and his figure quickly disappeared into a sea of ​​blue.

Bayamnan, a port on the eastern side of Blue Mountains Island.

Roger's figure quickly appeared on the deck of a black two-masted schooner. As soon as he landed, he entered a state of "psychological invisibility," so much so that the sailors on deck did not notice him.

This was Kovarro's ship. Unlike those real pirate ships, this ship did not have a fleet or supply ships. Instead, the entire "fleet" consisted of just one ship.

Simple, capricious, and casual.

All of this suggests that Kovarro has some powerful force behind him, which, if nothing unexpected happens, should be Nast Solomon, the "King of the Five Seas".

Roger pressed down on his wide-brimmed hat, which had almost been blown away by the sea breeze, and walked straight into the cabin below deck.

Although the cabin door was not open, Roger easily passed through the door and entered the deck using his "Traveler" ability.

"This boat smells a bit..."

Roger sniffed. He smelled a mixture of sour rags and stinky feet. He had never smelled anything like it on a pirate ship before, not even on the ship of Bratov.

Those are the Fusak people, known for their rough and unrefined lifestyle, so the fact that such a smell was emanating from Kovarro's ship was quite unexpected for Roger.

With the activation of his "Secret Insight" vision, Roger began to look into the various secrets originating from the past on the entire ship.

"...Well, it wasn't a deliberate act of creating chaos to simulate digesting the 'Lawyer' pathway potion; it was simply a bad habit."

Roger's lips twitched, but he continued walking forward without making a sound.

Soon, a brightly lit door appeared in Roger's "Secret Insight" vision, and Roger knew that it was Kovarro's captain's cabin.

There was no danger...and no traps.

"But... it seems like Kovaro is up to something in there."

Roger keenly sensed the presence of a woman in the room, and the next second, indescribable sounds suddenly came from inside.

"..."

Roger was speechless. He simply couldn't stand the smell in the cabin, so he had no choice but to return to the deck.

About ten minutes later, Roger returned to the captain's cabin of Kovarro. Just then, the guy was smiling as he saw a lady with a somewhat Bayamian look out of the room. Roger didn't say anything, just stood by in "psychological invisibility".

When Kovarro returned to his room and tried to close the door, he suddenly realized that the captain's cabin door wouldn't close.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Kovallo."

Roger looked at the somewhat greasy man in his thirties in front of him and said with a smile.

Kovarro was startled when Roger suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

That was a physical jump; his head hit the door frame directly, and then he knelt on the ground in pain, clutching his head and trying to shout for help.

However, for some reason, no matter how much he shouted, no crew member came to help him, as if all the sounds were confined to this small space.

“I am John West.”

Roger looked calmly at Kovarro and then introduced himself.

Strangely, upon hearing this name, Kovarro quickly calmed down, stopped shouting, and looked up at Roger again.

"Your Excellency, King of the Galaxy, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

He stood up and bowed slightly to Roger.

"Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"

Roger narrowed his eyes and asked:
"Was it the 'King of the Five Seas' who said I would come looking for you?"

"Ah."

Kovarro nodded, and then said:
"Please come in, there are too many people outside."

"it is good."

Roger nodded and went into Kovarro's captain's cabin first.

Compared to the cabin outside, the room smelled much better, even with a faint perfume scent, seemingly left by the lady from earlier.

"Please take a seat."

As Kovarro helped Roger to sit down, he asked:
Do you drink red wine?

"random."

Roger shook his head, but Kovarro poured him a glass of 1286 Olmir wine and placed it in front of him.

"Ha, the boat isn't big, but the wine is high-class."

Roger muttered something to himself, then took a sniff of the wine's aroma before looking up at Kovarro.

"Can we talk now?"

"can."

Kovarro nodded, and then said:

First of all, I want to apologize to you.

"You apologized because you hired someone at sea to impersonate my people?"

Roger asked.

"No, I'm apologizing because I'm sorry for inviting you here in this way."

Upon hearing Kovarro's words, Roger paused for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.

After a while, his smile faded.
"ill."

"I'm so sorry."

Kovarro bit his lip and quickly said:
"The 'King of the Five Seas' believes that only in this way can he attract your attention, and you will definitely notice that this matter is related to him and then come to him."

"That's why I deliberately left you clues so you could find me."

"Don't think too much."

Roger sneered:
"Even if you don't leave me any clues, I will still be able to find you."

He then added:
"What exactly is Nast trying to do?"

"On the one hand, he wants to block you from accessing certain routes in the Misty Sea; on the other hand, he also wants to cooperate with you."

Kovarro was prepared and spoke up.

"Cooperate on what? I've never even met him before. Does he want me to go treasure hunting with him?"

Roger raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.

However, Kovarro actually nodded:
"There is a maritime site that may be related to the Terence-era Tronsust Empire... The 'King of the Five Seas' would like to invite you to explore it together."
