Just as Danitz finally realized that in the mystical world, the only one who could be addressed as 'Your Excellence' by Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina Edwards was an angel, his body finally turned around, and he saw the rookie adventurer he had become familiar with in the past few days.
The other party's appearance hadn't changed from just now, but his face wore a smile that was completely different from before, a smile that was gentle and steady, yet carried a hint of mysteriousness.
But Danitz only had time to take one look before he had to lower his head, and even his body trembled instinctively at this moment, the reminder from his spirituality due to the indescribable sense of majesty emanating from the other party at this moment.
Danitz's spirituality reminded him that if the person in front of him had the slightest malice towards him, then he would die without any power to resist.
Just like a small animal facing a large beast, even if the large beast has no malice, it will still tremble because of the other party's aura.
Danitz's body and mind were filled with fear at this moment, uncontrollable fear, his brain went blank in an instant, unable to think, and not knowing what he should think about.
Suddenly, all the fear disappeared, someone patted him on the shoulder, and welcoming this, Danitz heard the other party's familiar voice again.
"Don't be so nervous, Danitz. If I had any malice towards you, you wouldn't be alive now, so relax!"
As if awakened from a nightmare, Danitz's body reacted immediately before he could even think. He trembled violently, then staggered back a few steps, as if he had been greatly frightened, and raised his head to look at Lin Ruo, his face pale and bloodless from the shock.
"I… I… You…" Only after raising his head to look at Lin Ruo did Danitz's thoughts seem to finally return. He stammered "You, you, me, me" for a while, seeming to want to say something but unable to organize his words at all.
In fact, Danitz really didn't know what he should say, because his mind was completely muddled, with only a few sentences constantly replaying.
Wayne… is an angel!
He… no, He is actually an angel!
Heavens! I actually stayed with an angel for such a long time, and… and even treated Him as a rookie… I even reprimanded Him, praised Him, and even… even showed off in front of Him…
At this moment, Danitz felt a sense of unreality, feeling as if everything in front of him was a dream.
It's no wonder he felt this way, after all, the reality in front of him was indeed too shocking and too unreal. Danitz was sure that even the most imaginative pirate wouldn't dare to make up such a story after getting drunk.
Who would have thought that a dignified angel, a figure who would be an absolute big shot in any church, even second only to the Pope, would actually have nothing better to do than to run to the Five Seas and disguise himself as Sequence 9 to trick people for fun.
No, he must be dreaming, otherwise how could such an absurd thing happen?
"Why are you still stuttering? Aren't you usually quite eloquent?"
Just as Danitz was already hypnotizing himself, deceiving himself, and unable to accept reality, Lin Ruo's leisurely voice broke his last bit of fantasy, making him deeply aware of one thing: everything that was happening in front of him was real.
The Wayne he had always treated as a rookie was really an angel!
After having to accept this fact, Danitz's heart was immediately filled with another wave of fear, because he thought of what had happened in the past few days. If the other party was really a Sequence 9, his attitude of treating him as a subordinate these past few days would naturally not be a problem, but if the other party was an angel…
Would he be considered to have offended him?
At this moment, Danitz had already begun to think about how to write his will.
"No need to think about writing a will. I've already said, I have no malice towards you, so naturally I won't do anything to you." Seeing the cold sweat already starting to drip down his forehead and Danitz's face becoming increasingly pale, how could Lin Ruo not guess what the other party was thinking? He couldn't help but chuckle and say.
"Really?" Catching the key words, Danitz immediately perked up. He stopped thinking about the will and stared at Lin Ruo with anticipation.
"Of course!" Lin Ruo nodded, his smile gentle. He suddenly blinked and said, "Moreover, strictly speaking, I've received a lot of care from you these past few days, Mr. Danitz. As a senior, you're quite reliable."
This wasn't sarcasm. Danitz had indeed taken good care of him and Klein, these two prospective Golden Dream members, in the past few days, completely fulfilling the responsibility of a senior.
Of course, the more he took care of him these past few days, the more socially awkward he would be now, in a sense.
Danitz was stunned for a moment. Because he believed Lin Ruo's words and was no longer afraid for his life, he thought again of what had happened in the past few days, thinking of how he had acted as a senior in front of Lin Ruo.
Suddenly, Danitz's face, which had just been pale, was occupied by blood. Although he didn't know the idiom 'teaching fish to swim,' Danitz at this moment did comprehend a meaning close to it. Just thinking about how he had shown off his shallow and pitiful knowledge in front of an angel in the past, Danitz had the urge to jump into the sea and commit suicide.
And… and if the others on the ship knew that I had treated an angel as a rookie… they would definitely laugh at me to death!
Danitz suddenly raised his head to look at the others on the deck, and saw that not far from the captain, a young man in a white shirt, black vest, and colorful bow tie was also staring blankly at everything in front of him, seemingly not yet recovered from the shock.
This man had a good appearance, with short, slightly golden hair, and his temperament was more like a white-collar worker from some company than a pirate. When Danitz looked over, the young man seemed to have finally gathered his wits. His lake-green eyes then looked at Danitz, then winked at him for a while, shook his head, and finally gave him a thumbs up.
But anyone with eyes could see that this thumbs up was not really praising Danitz, but more like mockery.
Shit! He was really going to become the laughingstock of the ship!
Danitz could already completely imagine how the others would mock him next, such as direct taunts like "His eyes are completely blind, he actually treated an angel as a rookie," or sarcastic taunts like "So awesome, he actually took care of an angel."
Just imagining the scene made Danitz feel like he was about to explode with anger.
And just at this moment, he suddenly thought of another thing.
That's right, if Wayne is an angel, then Gehrman… is he really just a Sequence 8?
