If you asked why Lin Ruo wanted to know about Danitz's past, it was, of course, so that when he published "The Punishing Angel in the Eyes of a Passerby" in the future, he could incidentally add an extra story about Saint Danitz.
This is quite interesting, isn't it?
Lin Ruo's lips curved into a smile as he watched Danitz's expression, which looked as if the sky had fallen after his explanation. He was very sympathetic and didn't make him start his self-narration immediately. Instead, he waited patiently, even opening his notebook and writing a few lines.
Klein, who witnessed all of this: … …
Ah, this!
If he wasn't wearing Gehrman's disguise at this moment, Klein really wanted to walk over, pat Danitz's shoulder, and say, "Don't be afraid, my good brother, join our Anti-Persecution Alliance."
Klein hadn't forgotten that Lin Ruo was currently writing Gehrman's story. Although, according to the other party, writing this book was entirely for the purpose of better publicizing his deeds in the future, allowing him to gain more anchors, and he also promised not to persecute him in the book, but…
If he completely believed Lin Ruo's words when it came to something related to persecution, he would be a dog!
In any case, Klein had made up his mind to strictly guard against this, absolutely not allowing himself to become the next target of a major social death orchestrated by Lin Ruo.
As Klein's internal alarm bells rang again because of Danitz's encounter, Danitz finally recovered from the nightmare of "the news of me being Gehrman's maid will spread throughout the Five Seas."
He looked at Lin Ruo, forcing a smile that looked like he was about to cry, and said, "I… I don't know how to introduce myself. My past… seems to have nothing worth mentioning…"
Danitz really didn't know what to introduce. If this were a bar bragging session, he could talk for half an hour without stopping, but to introduce his deeds in front of an Angel, Danitz truly didn't feel his past had anything worth mentioning.
Burning a few pirate ships? Solo hunting a notorious pirate with a bounty of over a thousand pounds? Or exploring a certain sea area with his captain and crew?
These things might seem impressive to ordinary people, but no matter how he thought about it, they wouldn't be much to an Angel, would they?
"It's fine, just say whatever you want, and I'll listen casually." Lin Ruo rested his chin on one hand, looking at Danitz with a smile. "Actually, you don't need to treat me as an Angel right now. At this moment, I am just an ordinary writer looking for material."
"You just need to tell me what you find most memorable about yourself. As for whether they are 'sayable,' that should be left to the readers to judge."
After a pause, Lin Ruo looked at Danitz and skillfully painted a picture: "If your past is truly wonderful, perhaps I might even publish a book just for you. By then, you won't be Maid Danitz, but the legendary pirate Danitz, famous throughout the Five Seas."
Danitz was clearly stunned for a moment, then seemed to imagine something, and his expression immediately changed, even gradually developing into a silly grin.
"Cough…" Lin Ruo lightly coughed, interrupting Danitz's train of thought, and said, "Aren't you going to talk about your deeds yet?"
"Oh, oh!" Danitz suddenly came back to his senses. This time, his expression clearly lacked the resistance from before. He roughly recalled something and began to recount an incident shortly after he joined the Golden Dream, when he and the captain searched for a Treasure Trove deep within an island.
It must be said that Danitz might have a bit of a talent for storytelling. He described the entire process vividly, making it both exciting and visually engaging, so much so that Lin Ruo's gaze towards him gradually became thoughtful.
This child, perhaps if properly nurtured, he might even have a talent for writing?
Lin Ruo pinched his chin, beginning to ponder.
Witnessing all of this and guessing what Lin Ruo was thinking, Klein couldn't help but avert his gaze, otherwise, he feared he wouldn't be able to resist giving Danitz a sympathetic look.
Being targeted by Lin Ruo, that manuscript-Mandatory Maniac … Klein recalled Roselle being locked in a small dark room, and Miss Magician instinctively trembling when she saw Lin Ruo. He felt he could already foresee Danitz's fate.
This Danitz is beyond saving, just carry him away.
… …
Although persecuting Danitz was fun, happy times are always short-lived. In a blink of an eye, the White Agate had already arrived at Bansy Harbor.
Lin Ruo stood by the window, gazing at the distant harbor, enveloped in the golden-red sunlight of the setting sun, and couldn't help but lazily stretch.
After his entire body was stretched, Lin Ruo looked at Bansy Harbor again, the laziness in his eyes replaced by sharpness and scrutiny.
Playtime is playtime, but now that playtime is over, it's time to get down to business.
The danger level of Bansy Harbor can be said to be quite spiritual; it might allow ordinary people to walk through it without incident, or it might easily swallow an Angel who tries to uncover its hidden secrets.
After all, it is a place related to the City of Calamity, and even Outer Deities.
And to stroll through such a place, the first preparatory work needed is naturally…
Lin Ruo suddenly looked at Klein, who was also observing Bansy Harbor, and said, "Divination. If it's just divining the danger level, you are more accurate than I am."
Divination at Sequence 3 level might not be able to divine the hidden dangers of Bansy, but divination with Sefirah Castle's enhancement can, to a certain extent, exclude interference from primeval and Outer Deities.
"Okay." Klein nodded. Although he himself knew nothing about the hidden dangers of Bansy, he was very skilled at using the gray fog to exclude interference from high-level beings during divination. He directly found a place to sit down and smoothly ascended to the gray fog.
After a while, Klein, who had finished his divination and returned from the gray fog, opened his eyes, his expression somewhat solemn.
He looked at Lin Ruo and said, "The divination tells me that the hidden danger in Bansy Harbor is very great, but the danger that might be encountered on this journey is still within an acceptable range."
"Hmm, it's also an expected result…" Lin Ruo nodded. He looked at Bansy Harbor. Although he had switched to business mode, he didn't feel much tension in his heart.
Just as Lin Ruo's emotions would instinctively fluctuate and react when facing familiar people, at this moment, Lin Ruo's instinct told him that this place in front of him seemed not dangerous to him.
Could the City of Calamity really have something to do with me?
Lin Ruo speculated in his heart, just about to say something, when the door was pushed open from outside, followed by Danitz's boisterous voice in the room:
"Bansy Harbor has arrived! There's a famous Green Lemon Restaurant here. Want to try it? My treat."
Judging from his tone, Danitz even sounded quite expectant when he said this.
In reality, he was indeed looking forward to it, not because the Green Lemon Restaurant was so delicious, but because Danitz had been studying so much lately that he couldn't stand it anymore. Now he just wanted to throw away those damned textbooks and take the opportunity to get off the ship and rest.
"Uh…" But then, Danitz, whose small animal radar came online, noticed the unusual atmosphere in the room, which made him instinctively flinch. His previously high-pitched voice instantly softened:
"If, if you're not interested, we don't have to go. The food on the ship is quite good too…"
"No, of course we're going! Danitz, since you're treating, how can we refuse your kind offer!" Lin Ruo, however, smiled and pressed his shoulder, then looked at Klein beside him, and said:
"Let's go, let's enjoy this famous 'Weather Museum' properly."
Since the problem isn't big, let him explore it thoroughly!
