Mystery: Paradox Path

"Ugh-"

With a long whistle, the Marivis left Rogge... I mean Port Damir, and entered the paradise of adventurers and pirates.

Integura, who had already had a sea experience, stood on the side of the cruise deck and looked into the distance, but countless fragments of fate flashed before his eyes.

Unlike the Black Pearl, the route of the Marivis is not a round trip between Pritz Harbour and Bayam, but a triangle between the Rhodes Islands, Ruen and Balam... ahem, okay, this It's a passenger ship and doesn't sell slaves.

However, such a voyage itself is also the reason why Integura chose this ship. Of course, another reason is that this ship has the possibility of accommodating the most forces among the many fates.

...

"Beautiful lady, can I buy you a drink?" Just as Integura was writing the script for the upcoming future, a slightly frivolous voice came from his ear. For the familiar voice, Integura La turned his head in surprise, saw a handsome face, and said helplessly:

"Sir, please introduce yourself before inviting others to drink. After all, I'm not from Intis."

"Ah, sorry, I was rude." The handsome young man smiled apologetically, and immediately introduced himself:

"My name is Ruth, I have some business in Ruen, and I am a collector."

"Integura, Integura Belmonte, is a bounty hunter." Integura stretched out his white-gloved hand and shook it.

Hearing the words "Bounty Hunter", Ruth's eyes trembled slightly, and then he said with Integral's familiar social smile: "It's really rare to see a bounty hunter as young as Miss Integral. ."

"Our Belmont family has been bounty hunters for generations." Integura drank the last bit of mixed juice in the glass, and then said to Lily, who was holding grilled squid in both hands:

"Got to go."

"Understood meow!" Lily swallowed the two grilled squid at an unbelievable speed, and immediately raised her hand, but when she opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue, she suddenly pretended to think of something He made a face, took out a handkerchief, and wiped off the remaining spices from the corners of his mouth and hands gracefully.

Ruth watched Integra turned to leave without hesitation. Ruth didn't even think about it. He was hesitating whether to follow up, and he listened to the other party:

"Aren't you going to buy me a drink?"

"Here!" Ruth heard the words, and immediately realized that he thought too much, and quickly followed.

...

Unlike the Black Pearl, the Marivis is a serious cruise ship, although it also has a bar,

But there was no hidden tea and coffee. The two walked into the bar all the way, but found that there was no one in the matter.

But this is also normal. After all, the ship has just set sail at this time, and people who come to drink at this point should not get on this ship.

"A glass of Roselle vanilla." Integura snapped her fingers at the bartender, and after a while, a glass of emerald green sparkling wine in a goblet was handed to her.

Ignoring Lily who was ordering milk from the bartender, Integra raised the goblet to Ruth, took a sip, and then asked with a smile:

"Did Mr. Ruth go to Bayam for work?"

Ruth only felt as if his heart had been electrocuted, and a sense of absurdity that was actually being teased came to his mind, but he was also thinking about how to start a conversation, and immediately ordered a glass of wine at will, and then responded quickly. road:

"This time I came out to satisfy my little hobby. Like I said before, I am a collector, but what I like are those handicrafts with ethnic characteristics in the southern continent."

"It turns out that this kind of collection is really not very popular in Loen, but you have chosen the right ship. In fact, many folk handicrafts in the Southern Continent, especially those with a certain history, are spread in the hands of pirates. , compared to the Balam natives' fancy for those things, most of the pirates just regard them as ordinary loot. As long as they offer a good price, it is not difficult to gain something. Of course, this requires you to have Enough force, otherwise those pirates will not be polite to you - don't try to trap the pirates with future long-term development, those guys who don't even know if they can survive tomorrow, basically don't expect long-term transactions."

Listening to Integura's experience, Ruth's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and he immediately praised:

"I can't believe that Miss Intergula is also a connoisseur! I wonder if you are interested in the crafts of the Southern Continent? Do you know any reliable pirates?"

"There are not many reliable pirates. If it is only about collectibles trading, Lieutenant General Iceberg is a good trading partner, but it is really difficult to see her. As for the crafts of the southern continent, I am also interested, such as the ones there. The totem culture and mask culture derived from the worship of the feathered snake and the belief in the god of death are very interesting, but be careful to screen them out. Many totems were made by the Loen colonists themselves, which can be distinguished from the way of carving the eyes. Most of the sculpting tools are…”

...

In the evening, Russ returned to the room dizzy. As soon as he entered the door, he was surrounded by several figures.

"Russ, is there anything to gain?"

"That's really a charming lady, erudite, elegant, and charming, I think I'm a little infatuated with him..." Under the influence of some kind of power, Ruth, who smelled of alcohol, subconsciously expressed his true thoughts , But the next moment, those sharp sights made him suddenly wake up.

"That, Viscount Ernes, I'm not..." Ruth's cheeks flushed, and he suddenly remembered the fact that he was actually going to cliché, so embarrassed that he almost wanted to use his toes to dig out an ancient castle, looking at him, before The man who asked the question frowned, but still took a deep breath and repeated the previous question in a very oppressive voice:

"Any gains?"

"She should be from a certain Beyonder family. She has obvious ill feelings towards Intis and is very knowledgeable. She has a certain understanding of the situation at sea and various forces, and should have considerable relevant experience. I have no suitable excuse. I asked her why she was following us, but when she talked about why she went to sea, she said that she was after 'some nasty guy'. At that time, her disgust should not be a lie, maybe she was just tracking a certain vampire or artificial vampire... "

Ruth scoured his stomach to extract useful fragments from the previous chat, and then combined them into a report that looked like that. Ernes nodded when he heard the words, but still warned:

"Don't be careless, you continue to communicate with her these days, and provide as much information as possible. There are people in red gloves on this ship, everyone should be cautious..."
