Chapter 5. Who Did You Say Is Here?
Char jumped out of the cabinet, and the two of them were shocked.
It was just a simple scare. He had already changed his clothes, as if he had never worn them.
However, compared to John, who didn't know him, the mushroom ancient, who was standing at the table opposite him and talking, was even more frightened.
Char?
It was Mia.
He was the one who tricked John Hokin.
"Don't look at how certain he was when he said that the Black Pearl was here. That was all nonsense, he didn't know anything.
The reason why he returned was because he believed the information that Char had given him and decided to work with him.
The reason why he tricked John was that he wanted to extort a huge sum of money before he packed up and left.
The so-called compass that could point out one's thoughts was a fake one that he had provided to the auction house. As an archaeologist, he was the authority, and no one would doubt his words. Moreover, this thing had an antique certificate, a fake certificate that he could issue himself.
This was what it meant to gain something empty-handed.
Everything had been going smoothly until Char appeared.
"Hi, my dear Mia, we meet again."
"Char!"
Maica panicked.
He did not know why, but he panicked when he saw Char.
"Did he hear what she said just now? He won't expose me, right?"
"Wait a minute, why didn't I ask him if he knew? Nonsense, he definitely knows, he's Char!"
"Char? I've heard of this name before."
John was the first to calm down and looked on with interest.
"Eh?"
Char and Maica were shocked.
What was going on?
"Two hours ago, I met Officer Kruber outside the city. They were entrusted by the church to escort a lady from Makus City. She seems to be looking for someone called Char."
"Who can't use the teleportation formation but have to be escorted?" Maica asked curiously.
"I don't know about that. I heard that she landed in Makus City on a Silver Dragon from the Holy City and didn't teleport all the way."
Hearing them say that, Char felt a chill down her spine.
From the Holy City of Memphis.
A young lady...
Could not teleport?
Was she looking for him?
Ortlinde?
Due to the blessings of the gods, the Valkyrie was immune to magic since she was young. She was an Elementalist killer. No spells could harm her except for mana and curses.
Therefore, she could not use the teleportation array, not even the teleportation spell!
However...
Why was she here?
"Where is she now?" Char's mind was in a mess.
"Who knows? Maybe she's still in the military camp or at the auction house. I'm not interested in her."
John looked at Char with interest, and then at Maica.
"The two of you are old friends?"
Maica was about to signal Char with his eyes when he saw him take out a bottle.
'What's so great about a broken bottle?'
Maica's eyes were half-open!
John's condition was not much better than his!
The delicate crystal illuminated the transparent bottle. Inside was a small piece of blue sea, reflecting the beach, sand, and coconut trees.
On the surface of the water, there was an exquisite boat.
Taking it out at this time, Maica did not need to think to know what it was!
"Char, you..."
He mumbled, his emotions complicated.
Char did not have the time to respond to the Mushroom Man. He put away the bottle and raised his chin at John.
"Ask Francis to come here. I know you can contact him. Don't even think about abandoning him to go out to sea, no one else can open this bottle."
John was shocked at first, then his expression dimmed.
Char said what he was thinking.
There was no first mate who didn't want to be a captain, not to mention Francis himself was not a good captain! He was obsessed with building and licking the ship. Back then, they had an entire fleet, but after it was destroyed, only the Black Pearl was left. The captain, on the other hand, was stuck by a bunch of broken ships that could not go out to sea.
He silently took out a conch and blew on it with all his might.
The sound was weak and low, and it drilled into the ground as soon as it came out. After the sound, the conch turned to dust and disappeared.
John asked, "What else do you want me to do? You look like you're in trouble."
Char wished he could hug the first mate with a broken leg and kiss him.
"Help me find out where that 'miss' is now. I'll be waiting for news here."
John nodded and then limped away.
One of his legs had been bitten off by a shark, and he had a prosthetic attached to it.
Although it was a prosthetic, it was an ancient magical tool called the [Hopping Rabbit's Prosthetic Leg]. It was really as fast as lightning.
After John left, Maica wanted to follow Richard, but Char grabbed him by the back of his collar.
"What else do you want!"
The ancient Mushroom Man said angrily.
Char had ruined another of his business.
"Nothing. I just wanted to save you."
"You found the 'faulty compass' from that pile of rubbish, right?" Char asked seriously.
"So you knew!"
"It's real."
Maica was stunned for a few seconds and said uncertainly, "What did you just say? What is real?"
"It can really point out the location of the things in one's mind, but it has been used. Once a target was set, it would only point in one direction. That's why it's pointing at a person's target. "
"B*stard!"
Maica jumped down and turned around while cursing.
"Damn it! Why am I always dealing with this pile of junk! But it's still useless!"
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and stopped.
"Who used it? What did it point to? You know that, right?"
Maica had a premonition.
Since the other party had specifically said so, he must know about.
After all, he had just said the word save.
"I'll tell you if you bring it back from the backstage."
"It's a deal!"
Char only heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Maica leave.
He leaned against the cabinet and knocked on the door.
Apple Pie crawled out from inside, as lazy as a kitten. After looking around and making sure there was no one around, the girl quietly leaned on him.
"Tsk, you actually didn't go offline."
Char was suddenly curious. Could it be that she was not as good as Evelyn?
"I've put a blanket in the gaming chamber."
Apple Pie could tell what he was thinking at a glance.
Char coughed awkwardly and touched her hand, " "I might have to leave for a while."
"Eh? Do you have something to do?"
Char sighed.
Who would have thought that he would have to run away in the game?
He did not know what kind of medicine Ortlinde had taken to come to him at this time. However, no matter what, the other party represented the strongest power of the NPCs.
This power was not in terms of level, but in terms of influence.
She was backed by the United Holy Kingdom, which was the most powerful force in the game.
Although he was only here to look for her, if he found her and got into a conflict, it would not be as simple as a one-on-one fight.
He was sure that Ortlinde had yet to exceed level 30.
The Valkyrie's first skill [Great sight] was to find people and items. After locking onto him, she could kill him in minutes.
Hence, he had to escape.
However, he still had to level up.
He had no doubt that Ortlinde would kill him until he reached level 1 in the graveyard. If that happened, he would be finished.
Since he was escaping, he could not bring Apple Pie and Rylai with him. They would not be able to keep up with his plan.
However, fortunately, with the private chat, there was no problem with remote command.
"It's hard to explain. In short, you have to work hard to level up to catch up with me."
Ortlinde finished her sentence concisely, not feeling that the time and occasion were wrong.
Apple Pie blinked her eyes and said in realization, "Oh, so that was the breakup just now."
Char quickly covered her mouth.
