Leyton retracted his gaze from the sea and looked at Jodeson with a slight frown, saying, "Due to Amon, I have a certain understanding of the Reader Pathway."
"Are you interested in becoming a Demigod or even an Angel of this Pathway?"
"You want to use me to lure Amon?"
Jodeson looked at Leyton warily, his right leg unconsciously retreating a step.
Leyton pressed his lips down, and said with a hint of disdain, "You overestimate yourself too much. If you were delivered to his mouth, Amon wouldn't mind eating you, but as for luring him, forget about it!"
The expression on Jodeson's face froze again. He didn't know whether to be happy that he wouldn't be used as bait to lure Amon, or to be sad that he was even rejected as bait.
Ignoring Jodeson's expression, Leyton continued to speak to himself, "Are you interested in continuing down this Pathway?"
"Given the current situation of the Jacob Family, it's basically impossible for them to give you any effective support. Moreover, most of the characteristics of this Pathway are concentrated on Amon. If you want to advance on your own, it's more likely you'll end up as Amon's dessert."
"Why not choose to join me!"
Jodeson took a deep breath and said with his chin slightly raised, "I am the third mate of the Golden Dream. It's impossible for me to leave the Captain."
"You all like Edwina, but she doesn't like you."
"I like the Captain, and it's not like... wait, what do you mean 'you all'? Who else?"
Jodeson's feigned calm words were cut short as he suddenly froze. He immediately reacted and pressed for an answer.
As he spoke, he had already screened everyone on the ship in his mind.
Bru, that repressed guy? Orpheus is also possible, he always interrupts when I want to talk to the Captain alone. Daniels is also suspicious, he always asks all sorts of stupid questions in front of the Captain, maybe just to get her attention.
The more Jodeson thought, the more suspicious everyone around him seemed. He gritted his teeth, a flicker of anger in his eyes. These hateful guys, secretly liking the Captain behind my back!
Leyton looked at Jodeson, who was deep in thought and gradually becoming irritable, and chuckled, saying, "You don't think you're the only one on this ship who likes the Captain, do you?"
He paused slightly, and without waiting for Jodeson to ask, he continued speaking to himself, "Your competitors are all the males on this entire ship."
"You like the Captain too!" Jodeson immediately became alert.
Leyton's expression stiffened. This guy's reaction was even stronger than when Amon was mentioned just now.
"Except for me."
"You really don't like the Captain?"
Jodeson looked at Leyton with some suspicion, as if saying, "The Captain is so perfect, and you don't like her! Something's wrong with you!"
Leyton's mouth twitched slightly. He almost wanted to punch this love-struck fool. Then, he took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and said, "Do you want to know what kind of person Edwina likes?"
"What kind?"
Jodeson originally wanted to mock him, but considering the power gap between them, he rationally suppressed that suicidal thought.
Leyton chuckled and said, "From my observation, Edwina probably likes a male who can discuss and learn knowledge with her."
"And you, or rather, the crew on this ship, clearly don't meet that condition."
Jodeson opened his mouth, but couldn't find words to refute. After careful consideration, he found that what the other party said seemed quite reasonable.
Thinking of this, he lowered his head in disappointment and murmured, "Why am I not a Beyonder of the Reader Pathway?"
"Stealing knowledge is not difficult for a High-Sequence Marauder. By then, wouldn't you be a scholar with profound knowledge?"
Leyton timely reminded the other party.
Jodeson struggled internally for a moment, then looked up at Leyton and said, "What do you want to recruit me for?"
"My conditions are resources for advancement, and that I remain a member of the Golden Dream."
Leyton slowly curved his lips into a smile and said, "Preach in the Southern Continent!"
"Preach?" Jodeson was momentarily bewildered.
In the Raging Sea, on the White Agate.
Danitz stood by the window, looking at the dim sky. Clouds rolled, and the sea had high and low waves, like a storm was about to arrive.
He said with a hint of emotion, "This is the sea. No matter how powerful, it seems insignificant before it."
"Fortunately, we're almost at 'City of Generosity'."
After a while, neither Gehrman Sparrow nor the fat rabbit he kept responded. Danitz spread his hands helplessly, feeling a bit stifled.
After another moment, he saw Gehrman Sparrow look up at him and say with a smile, "You can tell me about the pirate contact points in Bayam now."
Bullshit! You'd better not speak! Danitz's expression distorted instantly.
At 6 PM, before the storm arrived, the White Agate reached Bayam, the capital of the Rorsted Archipelago, the "City of Generosity."
Klein applied a layer of illusion to Bugs Bunny, who was by his side. After disembarking the White Agate, he turned to Danitz and said, "You are free."
Huh? Danitz was still a bit unaccustomed.
Klein ignored the somewhat dazed Danitz. He pressed down on his top hat, carried his suitcase, with Bugs Bunny sitting on it, and walked along the road towards Coastal Defense Street.
He really let me go? Danitz stood still, still a bit suspicious. No matter what, I'm worth 3,000 pounds, no, that's just a Loen unilateral bounty! Gehrman Sparrow would actually let go of such a huge sum of wealth right in front of him!
He straightened his back, gazed at Gehrman Sparrow's retreating figure, and seeing that the other party really walked away without looking back, he immediately turned and left by another road.
He occasionally turned corners and changed direction, and sometimes used obstacles to look back, making sure not to be followed.
Soon, he arrived at the row of houses near the dock warehouse.
After repeatedly confirming that he hadn't been used as bait by Gehrman Sparrow, he finally relaxed completely.
I can already foresee that tomorrow will be incredibly beautiful, with a group of guys vying to flatter me, wanting to be my servants!
Danitz happily knocked on the door, three long knocks followed by three short ones, very rhythmically.
This was the Golden Dream's contact point in Bayam. When Klein had asked him to tell him before, he had only mentioned the contact points of pirates they didn't get along with.
Soon, he heard footsteps approaching from inside the door. The door creaked open, and a familiar face appeared.
Danitz chuckled and greeted the other person, "Old man, no drinking today?"
Across from him was Old Lynn, one of the Golden Dream's contacts in the Rorsted Archipelago.
Old Lynn coughed twice, his eyes seeming to glance behind Danitz, then he moved aside.
Danitz didn't pay attention to this detail. He stepped into the dim room, and his nose suddenly twitched.
He smelled the aroma of "Lanti Proof" wine.
No, Old Lynn likes to drink the local Bayam Blackland!
A thought flashed, and Danitz was startled. He stopped, immediately becoming vigilant.
Then, he saw a person with his back to him stand up, tall, dark-skinned, with hair curled like marbles.
"'Steel' Maveti!" Danitz's pupils contracted sharply, and he subconsciously blurted out the other's name.
This was Admiral of Blood's second mate, a great pirate worth 6,000 pounds!
"Heh, 'Blazing' Danitz, a expert wants to see you, or rather, anyone from your Golden Dream."
"Steel" Maveti said in a deep, hoarse voice.
Recalling the expert who suddenly appeared before him the day before yesterday, he still felt an instinctive tremor. That was a truly great figure, a Saint walking upon the land.
He also learned from the other party what had happened during his time away from the Tree of Flesh and Blood. He was incredibly grateful that he had been sent to Bayam at that time. Otherwise, I would also be a puddle among those mutated, collapsed remains and broken flesh!
Boom!
A crimson fireball flew towards Maveti's face.
The moment he threw the fireball, Danitz quickly darted backward, rushing out before Old Lynn could completely close the door.
But a figure was faster than him!
Maveti completely ignored the crimson fireball Danitz threw and lunged forward. His speed was incredibly fast, leaving a blurred afterimage behind him.
The Hunter's danger intuition made Danitz immediately roll forward and to the side, dodging a punch that would have shattered his ribs.
Danitz, barely steadying himself, put one hand on the ground to stand up, while a brilliant white flame quickly condensed in his other hand, forming a long spear wreathed in brilliant white flames.
Danitz pushed off the ground with his right hand and knee simultaneously, launching himself upward. The brilliant white long spear in his left hand was thrown out with the momentum.
Maveti had already raised his right hand and blocked in front of him as he turned.
Boom!
The brilliant white long spear exploded the instant it struck Maveti's arm. The powerful impact and firelight made Maveti shift his left foot back a step, his eyes slightly narrowed.
When the firelight dispersed, Danitz was astonished to find a faint layer of white frost on Maveti's body. The brilliant white long spear just now had not caused him any effective damage, and had not even managed to ignite his clothes.
Damn it! Is this guy really made of Steel? My Blazing White Spear had no effect on him at all.
While cursing inwardly, he suddenly pushed his hands forward, and a crimson light flared, as a group of flaming crows condensed around him.
They bombed around Maveti, with him as the center.
Whoosh! A biting cold wind suddenly swept up, carrying snowflakes, rapidly melting the flaming crows Danitz had conjured.
White frost condensed on the ground, and a cold, transparent layer of ice rapidly spread outwards.
