Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 92 Please don't die, my stupid apprentice!

"Dear Ms. Clara, do you still remember the legendary stories you once told me?"

"During the War of the Dragons, Gwyn, the Lord of the Sun, led the Silver Knights to conquer the Ancient Dragons, causing them to nearly become extinct after the war. In addition to the Silver Knights, there were also a group of Black Knights who were specifically tasked with attacking demons."

"When King Gwyn went out to link the fire, the Black Knights who followed him were burned by the rekindled flames, and they were turned to ashes and wandered the world."

"I have never seen a real Silver Knight or Black Knight, nor have I ever heard any legends about Gwyn the Sun Lord from anyone other than you."

"Therefore, I once thought it was just a 'legend,' but today, I met a black knight who called himself 'Ash Black.'"

"I can't be sure if he's the real Black Knight, but his armor is exactly the same as the legendary Black Knight."

"In addition, he also appears to be wearing a large number of rings."

"One of them is very similar to the silver cat ring you once described."

"This made his movements as light as a cat's, and he landed on the deck without making a sound."

"I'm becoming more and more curious about his identity, so I'll try to find out."

"This may be somewhat dangerous, but the allure of knowledge far outweighs the fear that danger brings."

"Finally, I wish you a speedy recovery from your long slumber."

Putting down her pen, Edwina blinked her azure eyes, read the letter twice, and gently folded it.

Soon, she prepared the ritual to summon the messenger, lit the candles, and whispered in ancient Hermes:

"I!"

"I summon in my own name:"

"A lost traveler from a lost continent, a chaotic witch who roams the upper realm, and the eternal guardian of her witch sisters."

The howling wind swirled and lingered, and the flames of the altar candles rapidly expanded.

A beautiful woman with a fair and delicate body that could make any man's blood boil appeared from the candlelight.

But that was only the upper body.

In stark contrast to her stunningly beautiful upper body, her lower body was a grotesque spider-like form engulfed in chaotic flames and covered in sharp spikes.

Her body was enormous, almost taking up the entire room.

But because of this, the room couldn't fully accommodate her, which meant that her lower body could only lie on the floor.

She leaned down, her fair body close to Edwina's, creating a powerful sense of oppression against the backdrop of her grotesque spider-like body engulfed in chaotic flames.

But Edwina wasn't afraid.

She knew the other person wouldn't hurt her.

Not only because the other party was a messenger, but also because she was the teacher's sister.

His fair, delicate body pressed against hers for a while, inhaling her scent, before finally gently touching her cheek.

He then took the letter from her hand.

Disappear.

……

"A fool who doesn't belong to this era;"

"The Mysterious Ruler Above the Gray Fog;"

"The King of Yellow and Black, who holds the key to good fortune."

In the cabin, Yu Jin rested for a moment on the bed.

It wasn't until nightfall that he whispered a secret incantation and told the fool about the current situation.

Meanwhile.

Klein, who was far away in Backlund, also received the prayers immediately.

The other party requested to communicate with Alger.

"I feel like I'm on an online dating platform."

Klein suddenly felt a strong urge to complain, but despite his complaints, his body language remained quite honest.

Upon receiving the prayer, he immediately went to the gray fog and pulled Ember and Alger up together.

"'Mr. Lover'."

Alger immediately located his target and asked, "Any new leads?"

"Yes."

Yu Jin nodded slightly and said, "This place is located southeast of Toscart Island, 1,500 nautical miles from the nearest island and 3,500 nautical miles from Bayam."

After a pause, Ember asked, "Mr. 'The Hanged Man,' do you know where those two places are?"

"Byam and Toscart?"

Upon hearing the two coordinates, Alger fell into deep thought before speaking, "Bayam is the capital of the Roside Islands, while Toscart Island is located at the easternmost point of the Roside Islands."

"I roughly know where you are right now, but from where I am, it would take me at least a week to get there. Also..."

After a pause, Alger asked again, "I'd like to confirm, Mr. Ember, are you currently on another pirate ship? Who is their captain?"

Ember had no understanding of the Sunia Sea, yet he could accurately state the name of the reference point and his own location.

There is no doubt that someone helped them, most likely a passing pirate.

As for why it must be pirates?

Very simple.

Because the Embers are located deep in the Sunia Sea, a pirate paradise.

Although the Kingdom of Rune's navy is powerful, it usually doesn't dare to venture deep into places far from the kingdom's control.

"The captain was a woman who identified herself as Edwina Edwards."

After thinking for a moment, Yu Jin described the physical characteristics of the people on the ship.

"That must be 'Lieutenant General Iceberg'."

Alger matched the characteristics of the people described by Ember with the people in his memory, and breathed a sigh of relief. He explained, "Among the seven pirate generals, 'Vice Admiral Iceberg' is the most benign. As long as you don't clash with them along the way, she should be able to get you to your destination safely."

"certainly."

Alger paused, then cautioned, "Even the most amiable are still pirates. Mr. 'Lover,' you'd better avoid any conflict with them."

Klein's lips twitched slightly. "Mr. Hanged Man, how much do you distrust your 'lover'?"

Are you reminding them repeatedly because you're afraid they'll fight?

but.

If a fight really breaks out, it will likely cause a lot of trouble for Ember.

After all, once all the people are killed, there will be no one to help him sail the boat, and he will be stranded at sea.

"rest assured."

Ember nodded slightly. "We're getting along pretty well... so far."

Although the crew members looked at him with considerable wariness.

But at least no one took direct action, so the atmosphere was already quite harmonious.

"That's good."

Alger breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "From your location, it takes about five days to travel 1,500 nautical miles to Toscart. I can get to Toscart from Bayam within a week, and we can meet there."

"So my suggestion is that 'Mr. Lover' can ask the Iceberg Admiral to send you to Toscart Island, and then use the excuse of sending a telegram from there to inform his friends."

Alger glanced at Ember's expression, and the other man nodded in agreement.

"I'm fine now."

Yu Jin slowly spoke, taking the initiative to suggest ending the conversation.

But Alger thought about it and decided that it would be best to avoid conflict.

It's better to be safe than sorry.

In the event of a conflict, at the very least, the "lover" should not be at a significant disadvantage in terms of information.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke up again, "'Lover', I must remind you. Lieutenant General Iceberg's strength is at Sequence 5, and some people speculate that she is an Extraordinary being in the 'Reader' sequence."

"Also because of the fact that she belongs to a certain faction, her strength should be at the bottom among the seven pirate generals."

"Of course, since there was no fierce conflict between the seven pirate generals, this claim is debatable."

"In addition, her first mate, second mate, and third mate are all Sequence 6 Extraordinary, and there are about ten bosuns who are Sequence 7 Extraordinary. And all the other sailors are also Extraordinary without exception, which is quite rare even among pirates."

"However, since Vice Admiral Iceberg only has the 'Golden Dream' ship, although all the sailors on board are extraordinary, the total number is still less than that of other pirate generals."

"so."

After saying this, Alger solemnly said, "Try not to get into conflict with them."

"it is good."

Yu Jin nodded slightly, his tone calm and indifferent, making it impossible to guess his true thoughts.

"..."

Klein's expression twitched as he listened.

Mr. Hanged Man, do you not want them to clash, or do you want them to clash?

You've practically spilled all the information you know about Lieutenant General Iceberg, haven't you?

Rather than warning Ember not to clash with them, it's more like encouraging Ember to capture the leader first!

Although Klein was somewhat speechless, the two sides had already finalized the details.

He didn't want to interrupt.

After all, he is now the all-powerful Mr. Fool, and he can't do anything that would lower his status.

Although using it as an online dating platform and a telephone is rather degrading.

As Klein waved goodbye to the two, he couldn't help but mentally complain.

……

"Bang bang~"

Early in the morning, under the incredulous gaze of the crew.

Their captain, the beautiful lady with delicate features, stood in front of Ember's house and knocked on the door.

"Click!"

Not long after, Yu Jin opened the door, and the lady's beautiful face came into view.

"Mr. Ash."

Edwina smiled slightly. "I didn't get to properly entertain you yesterday because I was afraid of disturbing your rest. The restaurant has prepared a sumptuous breakfast; would you like to come along?"

"it is good."

Yu Jin looked at the lady's fair face and nodded slightly.

Without any hesitation, he closed the door and walked side by side with Edwina through the corridor toward the restaurant.

Unsurprisingly, they were surrounded by a group of pirates and sailors along the way.

Their expressions as they looked at Edwina were filled with disbelief, as if their faith had collapsed in an instant.

The way he looked at Yu Jin was filled with undisguised, naked killing intent.

"Damn it! That bastard!"

"Flower Bow Tie" Yodson stared at Ember's retreating figure, his eyes blazing with fury as if he wanted to devour him alive. "He stole my room, and now he wants to steal my woman!"

Meanwhile, the second mate, Orpheus, with his sculpted features and brilliant blond hair, was staring at him expressionlessly.

"If you're not fully awake, you can go back to sleep. Don't daydream here."

"Jodson".

First Mate Blue appeared behind "Flower Bowtie" at some point and said in a low voice, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You don't want to wake up tomorrow morning and not be able to find your head, do you? Oh, I forgot, that would make you unable to get up."

"Damn it!"

"Flower Bowtie," she said angrily, "Isn't this the time to unite against a common enemy? What's wrong with you two?!"

"It's a shared hatred of the enemy."

Orpheus said calmly, "However, Emperor Roselle once said that internal stability must come before external resistance."

"You bastard!"

"..."

Despite the undisguised noise behind her, Edwina remained expressionless.

Ember didn't even recognize them, so naturally he showed no expression.

Just before they entered the restaurant, they passed a semi-open room.

Edwina subtly observed Ember's expression.

Although she couldn't see anything because the other person was wearing a helmet.

But the other party didn't even bother to turn around and glance at it, which really surprised Edwina.

"That bastard! What right does he have to travel with the captain!"

Seeing this from behind the two, Jodson, nicknamed "Flower Bow Tie," was furious.

"After all, you only have the right to be rejected."

First Mate Blue retorted sarcastically without holding back.

When it comes to team kills (TK), he's a pro.

The second mate glanced at the two men with a disdainful look.

I quickly walked past them toward the restaurant.

Inside the restaurant, Edwina was fetching food with Ember.

Second Officer Orvers quickly stepped forward, grabbed a plate, hastily took a meal, and then exclaimed melancholically, "Bravo, sun!"

"You bastard."

The 'flower bow tie' who arrived late sneered.

Although the Church of the Eternal Sun does have a tradition of praising the sun, Orpheus is not a member of this denomination.

Everyone knows perfectly well who his so-called "sun" is referring to.

But after praising him so many times, has 'The Sun' ever responded to him?

As expected.

Edwina didn't even bother to glance at him—

After all, she has to come here several times a day; she doesn't have the time to watch it every single day.

But it was Ember beside her who looked seriously at the sun on Orpheus's chest.

Then he put down his plate, raised his hands, and devoutly recited...

"Praise the sun."

Golden light emanated from him, as if a ray of sunlight were shining upon him.

"..."

Orpheus froze on the spot, his expression stiff.

No, what does my praising the sun have to do with you for half a penny?

Doing it like that makes me look cool!

The people around them also had strange expressions.

They had initially harbored undisguised hostility towards Ember, but now they were illuminated by the light emanating from him.

They suddenly felt a sense of warmth and excitement.

It was as if I had met a long-lost friend and recalled the passionate years of the past.

The surge of passion they felt almost brought tears to their eyes.

"Is it the Church of the Fiery Sun? Or the Sun Knights?"

Edwina stared intently at Ember, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

She became increasingly convinced that the embers were the 'ashes' of those legends recorded in the world of painting, those who sacrificed their lives and followed one after another to pass on the fire and ensure the continuation of the world.

Humble as dust, noble as stars!
