Hobert genuinely believed that the captain wasn't joking. The massive storm they had encountered was likely a storm generated by the Berserk Sea.

And there might be a Saint on board who sensed the changes in the underworld and the spirit world, which was why he said that.

Of course, the sailor didn't know that he was already a spirit world creature, but did their captain have such a concept?

Hobert's lie, told without batting an eye, worked, and the surging sense of fear didn't continue to spread.

The sailor also smiled and said, "We are all serving the great Underworld Emperor!"

"Yes, after all, He is 'the final resting place of all living beings'!" Hobert affirmed again, "It's just that our positions are different."

The sailor had no further doubts, "I hope we can chat more when we meet again in the future. Goodbye, you two."

Hobert smiled and said, "Goodbye."

He and Alger could still feel the sailor's gaze, so they had to remain calm and leave step by step.

It wasn't until the mist obscured their vision, until the "dong, dong, dong" sound rang out again, that the two quickened their pace and finally started running.

After running for more than ten minutes, the two saw a two-dimensional space ahead. After cautiously bypassing it, they finally heard the familiar bird calls from the forest.

After running a few more steps, they finally saw the high cumulonimbus clouds, the azure sky, and the dense forest.

The two were surprised to find that they were now in the elven ruins.

They quickly left along the way they came, and after more than an hour, they finally returned to the beach where they had landed.

Looking at the island again, it still had high mountains and forests, a two-dimensional space that looked like a huge mirror from a distance, and the mist on the side of the mountain, which seemed to remain constant.

Hobert and Alger exchanged glances, both feeling a sense of surviving a disaster.

Hobert smiled and said, "This is what adventure is all about. During the adventure and right after it ends, you always feel like you'll never take such a risk again in your life, but in a couple of days, you start to miss the adventure, and in another couple of days, you can't wait to go on a new adventure."

Alger nodded, "That's the standard adventurer's mindset."

The two laughed heartily. Everything terrifying and life-threatening they had encountered today became a part of their memories.

Although it was only a little after three in the afternoon, the sky on the island, like the bottom of a well, was already somewhat like dusk. Hobert reached out and put his hand on Alger's shoulder, and the space in front of them became illusory. They finally successfully entered the spirit world, which had obvious distortions.

A few minutes later, they appeared in the forest of Oravi Island.

The two took out the spoils of this exploration and placed them on a stone in front of them.

There was a pendant-like mystical item, an Beyonder characteristic of Sequence 5, a ring with a special pattern, three Beyonder materials, and corresponding blood, juices, and fruits.

Of course, there were also the main materials formed after the deaths of the Blue Shadow Falcon and the Dragon Eye Sea Eagle, but according to the previous agreement, these two main materials belonged to Alger, and he would give up one chance to choose spoils.

So Hobert used his first chance to choose spoils to select the mystical item.

In the second round of choosing spoils, Hobert had the priority, and he took the Beyonder characteristic of Sequence 5.

Alger chose the main material of Sequence 7 level and the corresponding blood.

In the third round of choosing spoils, Hobert took the ring, and Alger took a main material of Sequence 8 level and the corresponding fruit.

When it came to the last spoil, Alger was about to say that he would sell the materials in the next two days and split the proceeds, but Hobert spoke first, "Let's sacrifice it to Mr. Fool."

Alger was stunned and didn't quite understand what Hobert meant.

Hobert explained, "We chatted with the evil god in the cave for so long, we may have been secretly contaminated, so we should ask Mr. Fool to examine us. For this, we should of course offer sacrifices."

In fact, it was mainly to remove the contamination from "Hanged Man" Alger. Hobert had the "Nation of Disorder", so he wasn't afraid of this kind of contamination.

Alger felt like he had learned another trick, "But this sacrifice is too..."

Too shabby! Would Mr. Fool accept it?

Hobert smiled and said, "This mainly depends on our sincerity. Otherwise, we don't have anything that Mr. Fool would be interested in. If we really made Mr. Fool interested, we might have to sacrifice another card."

Hobert deliberately emphasized "a card", and Alger immediately understood that "Emperor" was talking about the "Blasphemy Card", that is, a complete pathway.

Alger nodded. Acting with Hobert today, he had felt more than once that he really lacked high-level knowledge, such as the high-dimensional and low-dimensional things Hobert had said before, which still gave him a headache when he thought about them.

Seeing that Alger agreed, Hobert quickly set up the altar and recited the honored name of "The Fool" in Hermes, "...Respected Mr. Fool, we encountered a sealed evil god during this exploration.

"I suspect that our spiritual bodies may have been contaminated by the evil god unknowingly, so we ask for your help and ask you to check our spiritual bodies.

"For this, we are willing to offer an Beyonder material obtained in this exploration, as well as the corresponding spiritual juices.

"We know that you may not be interested in these sacrifices at all, but this represents our attitude of dedication and respect to you."

Hobert certainly knew that "Mr. Fool" would be very interested in this. The Beyonder ingredient could be sold for 300 pounds without any problem, and those spiritual juices were also worth 30 pounds or more.

These sacrificial words were more for Alger's ears than for "Mr. Fool's" ears.

Alger also realized today that the sacrificial words were not fixed and that you could also flatter the gods.

Then he thought: No wonder Mr. Fool could tolerate "Emperor" blaspheming the gods at the Tarot Gathering. First, this was tacitly approved by Mr. Fool, and second, it might be related to the fact that "Emperor" knew better how to deal with the gods.

He also recalled "Emperor's" lie in the mist just now. He had been prepared to fight hard at that time, but he didn't expect "Emperor" to simply portray him and himself as people from the "Ghost Ship".

This made Alger have to sigh that sometimes the more you know, the easier it is to avoid some battles.

As Hobert said, a dozen seconds later, the sacrificial gate of "The Fool" appeared and accepted their sacrifices.

Immediately afterwards, Hobert and Alger were pulled into the hall above the gray fog together. Just as they came back to their senses, a polygonal transparent crystal with magical colors fell out of their bodies.

Alger's eyes narrowed. The shape of this crystal was similar to the idol enshrined in the temple of the elves!
