Danitz realized belatedly and looked at Gehrman. Unlike Wayne, who was very active along the way, Gehrman could be said to be much more indifferent. Although on the surface he looked gentle and polite, he was actually extremely cold. He hardly spoke along the way.
Because of this, Danitz had complained in his heart more than once. After all, he himself was a very talkative person and didn't like Gehrman's indifferent nature. However, for Wayne's sake, Danitz didn't really say anything. After all, he was considered a relatively open-minded senior.
And now Danitz felt that it was a good thing he hadn't reprimanded Gehrman for his cold nature. Who knew what kind of existence would be by the side of an angel? Even if it was another angel, Danitz wouldn't be too surprised.
This world is too scary!
Perhaps he should really save up some money earlier and then go home to retire?
Danitz thought subconsciously, and began to calculate the few properties he had in Generosity City, as well as the pounds he had saved, when he heard his captain's voice:
"Mr. Wayne, excuse my bluntness, but what exactly is the purpose of your visit to the Golden Dream this time?"
Since Lin Ruo had previously said that there was no need to call him "Your Highness," Edwina Edwards, the Vice Admiral Iceberg, naturally wouldn't go against his wishes. However, she didn't directly call him by the name he had given, but added the respectful title of "Mr."
As soon as she asked this question, everyone on the deck, except for Klein, who already knew the truth, and Lin Ruo, the person involved, pricked up their ears.
After all, they were also curious as to why Lin Ruo, a dignified angel, was disguised as a rookie and came to the Golden Dream with Danitz. What was his purpose? Before today, they also knew from the telegram that Danitz was bringing two new people on board, and in the telegram, Danitz described the Sequence 9 rookie adventurer's name as Wayne.
"Well, the purpose..." Lin Ruo smiled, deliberately pausing for a few seconds, almost whetting the appetites of the others on the ship, and finally said unhurriedly: "Miss Edwina, I heard that you have a collection called 'Groselle's Travels'?"
Hearing Lin Ruo's words, the Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina Edwards was stunned for a moment, as if she hadn't expected Lin Ruo to be here for the book that she had been studying for several years without any results. Then, she said somewhat restrained and humbly: "Mr. Wayne, you can just call me Edwina."
Then, after considering it, she said: "I do have a book called 'Groselle's Travels'. It came from a shipwreck at the bottom of the sea. Do you need this book?"
"Yes, I need it." Lin Ruo nodded, then smiled and said: "Of course, I won't take this book for nothing. I will pay you the corresponding remuneration. Do you need pounds, or something else of equal value?"
The Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina Edwards was silent for a few seconds, seemingly thinking, and finally said: "If possible, I would like to obtain some secret knowledge in exchange."
"Knowledge..." Hearing this, Lin Ruo raised his eyebrows, but wasn't surprised at all. After all, as a person from the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom the Vice Admiral Iceberg might prefer knowledge to pounds. Moreover, as the Vice Admiral Iceberg's private collection, she also had the right to decide what to exchange it for.
"Are you sure you want to exchange it for knowledge? Maybe I'll tell you something you already know!"
"I'm sure." The Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina nodded, paused, hesitated, and then said: "Mr. Wayne, I also have a presumptuous request."
"Speak." Lin Ruo looked at her, but he had already guessed what she might say.
"I have had that book for several years, but I have never been able to figure out anything... If you figure out anything, I hope you can tell me."
The Vice Admiral Iceberg was a little nervous when she said this. After all, this was completely different from the conditions she had proposed to Klein in the original book. At that time, the Vice Admiral Iceberg and Klein were of comparable strength, so naturally there was no need to be nervous, and she could propose conditions openly. But now, she was facing an angel. Proposing such conditions to an angel, even if she didn't feel any malice from the other party, was still enough to make people nervous.
"The secret of that book..." Lin Ruo pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "If I figure out anything, I will tell you, but only the part that you can know—you should understand that it is not a good thing to know some knowledge in advance."
The Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know, thank you, Mr. Wayne."
"Then let's talk about the transaction. You want to know secret knowledge. Well, let me confirm first, what kind of knowledge do you want to know?" Lin Ruo asked with a smile. As someone who had already taken classes in the Evernight Church and possessed many secrets himself, he still had some confidence.
"Anything is fine." Although she said that, the Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina couldn't really be picky. Her attitude was quite sincere.
"Tsk." Lin Ruo pinched his chin and thought. After a while, he said: "I've already thought about what to tell you, but you probably don't want me to tell you those secret knowledge here, do you?"
"Please follow me." The Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina immediately realized her negligence, and then led Lin Ruo and Klein into a study—the other pirates, including Danitz, naturally didn't follow—then, she asked Lin Ruo and Klein to wait in the study for a moment, and left the study alone, returning to the study a few dozen seconds later, only with a book in her hand.
It was a book bound with parchment, with a dark brown cover and a line of ancient Feysac written on it.
Without a doubt, this was the 'Groselle's Travels' that once became an invincible shield in the original book, made a great contribution to Klein's safety, and also contributed to the social death scene of the Truth Hall Trio, carefully crafted by the Dragon of Imagination!
The clues about the past that Lin Ruo wanted to find were also in the book, or rather, in the minds of the people trapped in the book—if the people trapped in the book had really heard of him.
"Mr. Wayne, this is the book you want." The Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina solemnly handed the book to Lin Ruo, and while handing it over, she subconsciously explained: "I don't know who the author of this book is, but we have studied it with some secret techniques and found that the parchment of this book was made at least 3000 years ago, that is, before the Cataclysm era."
"But the strange thing is that, although this book existed 3000 years ago, the characters in the stories recorded in it are not lacking in those who appeared in later eras. Among them, there are female elves, pious ascetics, even Solomon Empire nobles, and soldiers of Loen... This once made me very confused."
