As soon as I stepped on the deck and had time to enter the cabin, Klein used the afterglow of his eyes to see a figure passing through the crowd and walking towards himself.
He was careless on the surface, but he looked sideways inwardly and secretly, and found a 30-year-old man wearing a half-height black top hat and a long trench coat of the same color.
The other party has a face polished by wind and frost, rough but very masculine, and the light blue pupils does not contain a smile, as if many past events are deposited.
A little familiar ... By the way, the guy I met at the ticket company yesterday seems to be also an adventurer ... I was wearing a windbreaker on the sea in January, and it was very strong ... Klein was easy Lifting the cane, slanting down to a virtual spot, smiling and saying:
"Good morning, we meet again."
He is like greeting an old friend.
The rugged man did n’t feel surprised, stopped, and nodded slightly restrainedly:
"Krives, former adventurer.
"Man, are you a fellow?"
"I thought you knew it yesterday, Gehrman Sparrow." Klein replied with a smile.
He did not give the cane to left palm because he did not intend to shake hands with the other party.
"It can be seen." Krives was silent for two seconds. "Adventure is not a good career. I have changed my career and became a bodyguard. This time I followed my employer's family to the capital of the Rhosid archipelago."
He turned halfway and pointed to another location on the nail plate.
Klein looked around and saw nearly ten people gathered together, led by a middle-aged gentleman with blushing cheeks, divine eyes, and gold chains and inlays of pocket watches on double-breasted long dresses Collar of precious stones.
There was a lady with a wide-brimmed hat next to him. Her face was completely covered by the hanging dark blue spun yarn, and her figure remained fairly good.
In front of the two stood two children, one big, one small, a boy, younger than 10 years old, wearing a children ’s version of a dovetail formal suit, and a big 15-16, a young and energetic girl. Outstanding, but a pair of brown eyes is quite smart, and the light freckles and fluffy pleated skirt add a bit of playfulness to her.
The three people, one male and two females, who carry various items around them, are all dressed as servants. One of the maids has a brown-red complexion and is of obvious southern continent ethnicity.
The above seven people are protected by a man and a woman. They are simple and capable of dressing. They are all dressed in white shirts, light sweaters, black coats, dark trousers and sturdy leather boots.
The two bodyguards did not specifically cover the traces created by the gun pockets in their waists. They looked at the pedestrians coming and going with no difficulty, their eyes were sharp, and their temperament was calm.
"Three servants, three bodyguards?" Klein asked casually.
This configuration is quite extravagant, indicating that the employer is a rich man ... he makes instinctive judgments.
"Yes." Krives nodded.
He said no more, turned quickly, and went to the employer's family.
...... Klein froze there, I don't know what the other party came to say hello.
Recalling the novels, movies and TV series that past life has seen, he gradually understands the hidden meaning of Krives.
He was a little wary of me, or someone who claimed to be an adventurer and did n’t seem to be irritating, so he pre-introduction himself, indicating his identity and things to do, so that I should n’t fight his employer ’s idea. That is, you do yours, I do mine, do not violate each other ... Is this a tacit understanding between experienced adventurers or senior bounty hunters? interesting ... Klein chuckled, carried the suitcase, took the black cane, entered the cabin, and found his own room according to the ticket.
With a squeak, he pushed open the wooden door and walked in.
This room is not spacious enough to fit a bed, a table and a cabinet without chairs.
Its biggest advantage is that it has windows, the sunlight from the harbour shines, and pure gold spots are sprinkled on the table and bedside.
"The crew just said that the washroom and shower room are shared, about eight rooms each, if you are too anxious, you can provide a wooden toilet, but you have to pay the cleaning fee, 3 pence per time ... I have to thank What's more, The White Agate has been transformed, with many metal pipes laid, and there are boilers burning, hot water supply, providing a relatively convenient way of life, otherwise traveling will not be a pleasant thing ... "Klein said a few words with emotion .
He quickly took out the necessary item and placed it on the table for easy daily use.
After finishing, he sat down on the edge of the bed, listening to the long whistle of the whistle, feeling the power from steam and machinery inside.
The ship started sailing. Klein looked back at the sea view outside the meeting window, and gradually withdrew his thoughts, and began to consider the next most important thing, that is, how to play Faceless Man.
In the face of the True Creator advent ceremony and the powerful Mr. A, the decision to abandon the escape attempt to destroy allowed his magical medicine to digest a bit. Based on this feedback, he had some new understanding of the role of Faceless Man.
"'can disguise oneself to become anybody, yet must still be oneself', this is the code that 'Secret Puppeteer' Rossago is required to remember ... I initially thought that 'oneself' refers to the original identity, but now it seems that this is not perfect, what is yourself, you must really understand ... "Klein leaned forward, bathed in sunlight, as if a statue was thinking.
after a while, he gradually came up with ideas:
"Does this correspond to its own spirit, referring to the truest self in the heart?
"Even when on Earth, Zhou Mingrui has a lot of disguise, so as to form a personality mask in a social sense. In a sense, this has a lot of false elements.
"Well ... when I became like other people and replaced their identities, in order not to be discovered, I had to be disguised in the relationship of conducting oneself, which is equivalent to wearing a different personality mask.
"When all the personality masks are removed, there will be no more remnants, what kind of 'oneself' will Faceless Man finally see?
"This is the deep meaning of 'oneself' in that code?
"When I faced my inner thoughts, defeated fear, and did not challenge the impossible for social reasons, did I really become myself?
"To be explored and verified ..."
Thinking of this, Klein changed its posture to make sitting more comfortable.
After recollecting all kinds of things before, he found another problem of playing:
"In the underground ruins, I once disguised as Ince Zangwill and successfully escaped from the predicament, but why there is no feeling of digestion signs of magical medicine at all?
"Does this mean that this shallow disguise is not enough to digest Faceless Man magical medicine?
"Well, this is closer to the application of extraordinary abilities than to play!"
"The role that can promote the digestion of magical medicine is a deep disguise. Is it really replacing a person and becoming him in a social sense? When his relatives and friends can't find it for a long time, then the disguise is successful?
"In this way, I feel that I fit Faceless Man magical medicine because I successfully disguised Klein Moretti before?
"The first article of the Faceless Man Code can pretend to be anyone, but it can only be yourself ... The second article is deep disguise that conceals everyone?
"However, replacing a person and becoming him in a social sense is just imagination, which is very evil ...
"could it be that is looking for something that died in a foreign country but has a wish that has not been fulfilled?"
Klein has precipitated inexplicable fears, and initially planned a direction for trying.
"The higher the sequence, the harder it is to play ..." He sighed, pulled out his pocket watch, and pressed to watch the time.
It ’s too early to see lunch, and the room is too small, so restrained, he decided to go for a walk on the deck, blowing the sea breeze and enjoying the view.
After the first hour of sailing, there were not many people on the deck. Klein walked along the side of the ship and walked to a secluded area with large shadows.
The sun is very nice and warm today ... except for the wind, he has to be careful with his hat, there are no shortcomings ... he presses the half-height top hat above his head, leisurely examines the cabin, listening to the faint sound of music inside.
Suddenly, he saw the former adventurer Krives busy in the corner, with a Sanleng Thorn, a dagger and a short knife in front of him.
Krives was aware of it, and looked up at him, with a sense of wind and frost, said unsmilingly:
"All old folks, you have to maintain them frequently."
Speaking of which, he added a sentence:
"There are children in the cabin."
"Understanding." Klein smiled and replied.
Krives buried his head and continued to be busy, seemingly asked casually:
"You don't seem to bring these things?"
"I'm used to using weapons that closely follow Era's Tide." Klein said indistinctly, "And I also do maintenance frequently."
Krives raised his dagger silently, glanced at the sunlight, and said to himself:
"On the sea, guns alone are not enough.
"Pirates will board the ship and there will be many people. After you hit the bullets, you will not have the opportunity to reload. Although these guys are not Era's Tide, they are useful enough."
It ’s very professional ... It ’s a former adventurer ... Klein leaned on the side of the boat and said half-jokingly:
"If there are really pirates on board, I will most likely choose not to resist."
Krives turned his head, staring at him for three seconds before taking back his gaze, and then, while packing item, he said lowly:
"It seems that you do not need to be reminded, you already understand the rules of the sea.
"bounty hunters who walk on the ground often cannot be adventurers at sea."
He skillfully hid weapons such as daggers, daggers, and Sanleng Thorn under his clothes, and dazzled Klein.
"Thank you." Klein smiled at nodded.
The Krives did not verbose again, and turned back to the cabin, leaving only a wide and deep back.
Klein outlined the corners of his mouth, shook his head, and looked away from the side of the ship.
The blue waves undulate gently, and silver-white flying fish jump out of the water from time to time, soaring in the air.
This fish can "fly" and swim. It is considered by the fishermen and Sailor as a dependent of Lord of Storms. Even if it is salvaged, it will be put back into the sea ... Klein leisurely enjoys the sea level under the sun and a piece of the sea An flying fish, an idea flashed uncontrollably in his mind:
Well, I do n’t know how they taste ...
