"Okay~"

More than ten minutes later, the two people and the cat arrived at the Rose Wharf where they boarded the ship. The White Agate was anchored there. Compared to humans, it was unusually large.

When Audrey asked people to buy tickets, there were actually four ships to choose from, but Edward chose the White Agate as soon as he saw it - this was the ship that Crane took when he went to sea in the original book, and that's how he met those people and those things that happened later, and step by step he became the Lord of Mysteries.

Unfortunately, compared to the original novel, Klein set sail a few months earlier, and the sea became much more chaotic because of his appearance. I wonder what Klein will encounter in his next journey?

However, according to the plan, Edward should have separated from him by then, so he might not have the chance to witness it with his own eyes.

As soon as they stepped onto the deck, the cold sea breeze blew in their faces, making them shiver. They then tightened their collars at the same time and lost interest in staying on the deck to watch the sea view.

But at this moment, several men wearing half-high black hats and black windbreakers came over with vigilant expressions, and then blocked the entrance to the cabin.

Then one of them apologized to everyone: "I'm sorry, friends, for taking up some of your time."

Then, more than a dozen ladies dressed in gorgeous clothes came down the ladder. They were whispering something and walked into the cabin in groups. Their laughter could be heard from afar.

The men in black windbreakers who were blocking the entrance then walked into the cabin together.

The apologetic man turned around and thanked everyone again. However, when he was about to enter the cabin, his eyes fell on Klein's face. He hesitated for a moment and walked forward: "Hello, friend."

Klein was stunned, but he still followed his established character personality and said indifferently, "What's wrong?"

"Excuse me, are you... an adventurer?"

After the man asked, he quickly introduced himself: "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Aldridge, a former officer of the Loen Navy. After retiring, I became the head of a security company."

Klein frowned slightly. "So?"

The man Aldridge said, "That's right, sir. My mission this time is to take my client to the resort in Dixie Bay safely. Lan Lan Wen? Xu` ￠Has been released. Released. Drunk. Xin. Chapter. Clean"

"However, due to the heavy smog incident a few days ago, more than half of the security company members fell ill, and several of them happened to be in the East District at the time and unfortunately died. This resulted in a shortage of manpower for this escort mission."

Aldridge said seriously: "So I hope to hire some people to help."

"Since there are not enough people, why can't we push off this task?"

Aldridge smiled bitterly, "The contract has been signed. If I regret it, I will need to bear a huge amount of compensation."

Klein shook his head. "I'm sorry, but I'm not qualified to be a bodyguard. You should find someone else."

"Okay, excuse me."

Aldridge took off his hat, saluted, and turned to leave.

He didn't seem to have considered inviting Edward at all. "Why didn't he invite me?"

Klein pointed at Lilith and smiled. "Who would invite a young father who is on vacation with his daughter to help as a bodyguard?"

Oh, yes.

Edward touched Lilith's head, and the little girl looked up at him, "What's wrong, Edward?"

"It's okay, I just think Lilith is so nice~"

She nodded immediately without hesitation: "Yes! Miss Lilith is the best!"

Seeing how loving the father and daughter were, Klein muttered, "By the way, why didn't Miss Justice come with you? It would be great if your family could be together."

"Audrey's mother had a big scare a few days ago. It's not appropriate for her to come out with us right now."

Klein then remembered that Miss Justice had said at the Tarot Club that her brother almost killed her father. This was truly terrifying for a mother and a wife.

As they were talking, the two of them walked into the cabin and found the location of their room based on the layout map at the cabin door.

"Edward."

When they reached the door of the room, Klein couldn't help but ask, "I'm still thinking about that guy from the security company just now... Aldridge."

Edward opened the door and looked over: "What are you thinking about?"

"He is a bodyguard in charge of security, but he easily invites a stranger to help because of a shortage of manpower? Don't you find it strange?"

Edward thought for a moment and said, "Well, maybe the invitation for help is fake, but the words of probing are real?"

"Probing?"

"For example, to test whether you have hostility or to inquire about your intelligence. I guess similar conversations will not only happen with you, but with anyone who makes him feel threatened or unpredictable..暁!税!宅+¨首?發′"

Edward grinned, "In this case, it's not certain whether what he said is true or not."

Klein suddenly realized, "That makes sense."

He turned the handle of the door. "I didn't sleep well last night. Come in and take a nap. Call me at lunch time."

"OK."

After closing the door, Lilith climbed onto the chair, took out the cake, put it on the table and started eating. "This is not as good as the room on the last ship we were on."

Lilith said as she ate her cake and looked around.

"Of course. Last time it was a deluxe room, this time it's just a second-class cabin, and the ship isn't as big as last time."

Edward walked to the window and looked at the busy dock outside. Sailors were loading various supplies such as food and water that would be needed for the voyage in the next few days onto the ship.

"Edward, eat."

The little guy held up a small piece of cake and brought it to Edward's mouth.

"Thank you Lilith."

Edward swallowed it in one gulp, then asked, "Lilith, have you figured out how to play the role of a witch next?"

Lilith tilted her head and thought for a while, "I don't know~"

She originally wanted to ask Christine, but she left Backlund and no one knew where she went.

"Actually, our Miss Lilith has already been a little witch. Have you forgotten?"

"Why?"

Lilith reacted quickly and took out her little wand, "Are you talking about this?"

"That's right! So from now on, Lilith just needs to continue practicing magic and using magic, and combined with the extraordinary abilities she gains after becoming a witch, I believe she will be able to digest the potion quickly."

"But didn't you say that we can't easily use magic and extraordinary abilities in front of ordinary people?"

Edward wiped the cream from the corner of her mouth with his finger, "But most pirates are not even human beings."

The little guy's eyes lit up, "Are we going to ask pirates to help digest it again?" The last part of my instigator potion was digested by pirates.

Lilith couldn't help but think happily: Pirates are really good! Not only can they help Miss Lilith digest the instigator potion, but they can also digest the witch potion!

"Boom boom boom."

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Lilith quickly jumped off the chair and ran over: "Ms. Lilith, go open the door."

She opened the door. "Hey, it's you."

Bernadette nodded and followed her into the house. "You have been promoted to Sequence 7?"

Lilith smiled proudly: "Yes~ Miss Lilith has become a human now."

She glanced at Edward and said to Lilith, "Is Edward disappointed that you have become a child?"

"No?" She was a little confused. "Why should I be disappointed?"

Lilith ran to Edward and said, "Edward, why are you disappointed?"

Edward rubbed her head: "Don't listen to her nonsense, I'm not disappointed."

The little guy immediately glared at Bernadette, "Humph! You really are not a good person. Last time you tried to trick me, and this time you want to instigate me and Edward!"

"You really treat her as your daughter."

Bernadette's eyes flashed with some inexplicable light and she walked into the house.

This second-class room was actually just a cubicle of only a few square meters. It was barely enough for Edward and Lilith to live in it, but with Bernadette added to the mix, it immediately seemed much more cramped, and it felt like one didn't even know where to put their feet.

"Your Majesty."

Edward stood up and greeted her. He had asked Phoenix to convey the news of his change of mind about going to sea to Bernadette yesterday.

Bernadette didn't mind the small size of the room. She sat back and two pea vines hung from the ceiling, forming a swing chair.

"I went back and looked up a lot of information these days, but there is not much information about Amon."

Edward was a little surprised when she spoke. He didn't expect that she would go specifically to investigate Amon.

"The only thing that can be found in public data is that there was an Amon family in the Fourth Epoch, but strangely, no records of any members of this family have been found."

"In some of the books my father left behind, there is a mention of a high-sequence warrior, Zaratul. He seems to have mentioned Amon... but he was very secretive about it, and it was obvious that he was very afraid of Amon."

Edward asked curiously, "Why do you want to investigate Amon?"

"According to your previous description of Amon, He will come to me sooner or later. Shouldn't I know more about Him in advance?"

After a pause, Bernadette continued, "What's more, there is a clone of Him in the Box of the Old Ones. How can we deal with it if we don't understand His words?"

But, this guy Amon... apart from crushing others in terms of strength through higher sequences, it is useless for him to know more.

"Mr. Fool, have I ever told you about Amon?"

Her sudden mention of the Fool startled Edward, and then he realized that the mysterious queen was now also a member of the Tarot Club.

"Why do you ask?"

Bernadette thought for a moment and said:

"Amon appeared when you caused the gray mist barrier to react. He was obviously very interested in it at the time. And you were able to cause the barrier to react because you borrowed the power of Mr. Fool. So I wonder if Mr. Fool knows Amon."

You guessed it right!

Unfortunately, Mr. Fool's relationship with Amon may be completely opposite to what you imagine.

Besides, he is currently catching up on his sleep in the bed in the next room.

Edward replied, "In fact, Mr. Fool did not mention Amon to us. Perhaps you can go and pray to Him in person."

Bernadette nodded, but did not continue the topic. She took out a few yellowed parchments and handed them to Edward. "These are the last few pages of notes I have. Please help me translate them."

"ah?"

Edward was surprised. "I thought you would wait until you learned Rosel language before reading it yourself."

"Dad left me a lot of notes, so there's no need to rush with these few."
