"Pa Pa Pa — —"
Just as Klein was looking in the mirror and gradually getting into character, immersing himself in the persona of a crazy adventurer, a sudden burst of applause interrupted his thoughts.
Needless to say, the person applauding was Lin Ruo, and not only did he applaud, but after applauding, he also commented very seriously: "A seemingly gentle and refined, yet actually cold and crazy adventurer, this persona is quite captivating, as expected of you!"
"Come on, say the line with that expression again, 'Tonight, Gehrman joins the hunt.'"
Klein: … …
He wondered why Lin Ruo had emphasized that the new identity's personality should be cold; it turned out he was waiting for this moment!
Does tormenting others make Lin Ruo so happy?
Although his mind had been tempered, Klein, feeling a bit of shame surge up from Lin Ruo's antics, immediately restrained all expression and asked blankly: "What is the general process for the second phase of special training?"
Although Lin Ruo had already told him that the second phase would mainly focus on combat, primarily hunting pirates on the Five Seas, and had discussed the various situations of the pirates at sea with him, Klein really knew nothing about the specific itinerary plan.
"The process… Tsk, Klein, you should have read the information I gave you, right?" Lin Ruo, who had expected Klein's lack of cooperation but was still somewhat disappointed, heard his question and his expression became serious.
"I've read it, and I've basically memorized it all." Klein nodded. Since he knew he was about to go to sea, he naturally couldn't help but carefully read the information Lin Ruo had given him about the sea.
"It's good that you remember it." Lin Ruo smiled and said, "This time at sea, I actually have two purposes, one is your special training, and the other is for a book in the hands of Vice Admiral Iceberg."
"A book?" Klein was immediately curious, "What kind of book?"
"I don't know the specifics, after all, I haven't gotten that book yet." Lin Ruo didn't even blink when he said this, "But I got some clues that on that book, maybe I can find clues related to my past, so I want to find Vice Admiral Iceberg and then buy that book from her."
He paused here, and then added: "Well, I estimate the price to be around 10,000 pounds."
10,000 pounds? What kind of book costs around 10,000 pounds?
Is this the world of the rich?
Klein felt deeply shocked.
"But this matter is not urgent, the whereabouts of the pirate generals are mostly elusive, and so is Vice Admiral Iceberg. Even if I want to find her to buy the book, I have to spend some time locating her, or let her meet us. Before that, I still have to worry about your special training." Lin Ruo, who had already manually amplified the probability of encountering people related to Vice Admiral Iceberg with [Truth], smiled and said:
"The process of the second phase of special training is very simple, that is, we take the initiative to provoke some pirates, and then fight, it's very simple and crude—by the way, in this process, I will try to maintain my persona, so don't expect me to help you in battle. Unless you encounter an enemy that you can't possibly beat due to force majeure, I might take action in that situation."
"Uh, persona?" Klein was a little dazed. He didn't care whether Lin Ruo would help him in battle. After all, it was special training, and Klein never expected to get help from Lin Ruo after the battle from the beginning. He was just a little curious about what Lin Ruo's persona was all about.
"Eh, haven't I told you?" Lin Ruo blinked, suddenly smiling quite brightly and meaningfully, and said: "My persona is a rookie adventurer. It's the kind of person who has just entered society and hasn't experienced much beating from society, who always provokes enemies unintentionally, speaks sarcastically, and is a rookie, but still loves to play, you know!"
Klein: … …
Understood, you're the one who attracts monsters!
The corners of Klein's mouth twitched slightly, and he seemed to be able to guess what the future would be like.
Given the daily persecution by Lin Ruo, Klein had no doubt about Lin Ruo's ability to attract monsters.
"By the way, have you packed your luggage? In order to carry out the persona to the end, except for the first time I will use Traveling to take us to the destination, after that we will have to travel around by boat like normal adventurers, so we won't be back for ten and a half days." Lin Ruo then said, he did this in order to better consolidate the fake identities he and Klein would use, and to carry out the rookie adventurer to the end.
After all, Mr. Fool is currently just an ordinary Sequence 8. If he really takes him around with Traveling, whether it is being guessed by others that their combination has a Traveler Sequence Beyonder item, attracting powerful enemies that Mr. Fool can't deal with now, or being guessed that their combination is not simple, which leads to the pirates being obsequious, it's not good.
Anyway, he doesn't mind spending this little time on the road, and running around as an adventurer is itself a part of the experience of training.
It would be even better if there could be a plot where a group of pirates chased and killed Gehrman.
Lin, the future rookie adventurer, Ruo thought this way, revealing a bright smile.
Klein inexplicably shivered, suddenly feeling a sense of foreboding, which made him look at Lin Ruo suspiciously, and then nodded: "I packed my luggage a long time ago."
Klein had anticipated the situation that he would not be able to return home for ten and a half days after going to sea, so he naturally made preparations.
"That's good, take your luggage, we're leaving." Lin Ruo said with a smile, he couldn't wait to start teasing Klein… Ah no, the Five Seas journey.
Hearing this, Klein hurriedly went to the room to take out his small suitcase with his luggage packed, Lin Ruo also closed his suitcase again, and switched to the Traveler state.
After Klein came out with his luggage, Lin Ruo put one hand on Klein's shoulder while carrying the suitcase in the other, and then, with the familiar color changes, they once again traveled through the spirit world. When the surrounding scenery became clear again, they were already standing in a remote and unfamiliar alley.
"Where is this?" Klein looked around and asked subconsciously.
"A colonial island belonging to the Rorsted Archipelago, also the location of Tiana Port. We will stay here for a few days, and then take a passenger ship to the next island." After Lin Ruo said this, he closed his eyes and adjusted his state.
A few seconds later, when Lin Ruo opened his eyes again, the calm and gentle temperament that Klein was familiar with was gone, replaced by a vibrant feeling.
He then looked at Klein, a sunny and bright smile on his face, with visible excitement in his expression:
"Gehrman, this is the Five Seas, I heard that small ports on the Five Seas are playgrounds for pirates and adventurers, people with Beyonder abilities can even openly fight with others in bars, as long as no one dies, even the official Beyonder rarely care, do you think it's true?"
The excitement, anticipation, and the overwhelming silly and sweet temperament revealed in the words, made people have no doubt that this was a rookie adventurer who had just gone to sea.
Klein: … …
Is this the legendary excellent hunter often appearing in the guise of prey?
