Then a familiar tingling sensation swept over him. demon! Fan Fan hid and then returned to the real world. If the demon was in the void, they would see him walking in the void of the soul, and he had to stop investigating without attracting attention.
Fortunately, his clothes are the same as other sailors. Since many of the crew members are young boys, Fan Fan blended in very well. Fan Fan picked up a brush and started working on the deck with a bucket of water. He lowered his head. No one questioned him. The tingling felt stronger and stronger. He thought the devil must be getting closer. Then, there was no sound, and a demon floated on him.
The demon spoke, but it was not like that to him. It spit out words of hatred towards King Stephen and his stupid cause, and felt hurt for participating in this raid on Morey’s Navy and for commanding Captain Bonnie. Proud words. Fan Fan heard these words clearly, as clearly as other voices on the ship. However, others did not seem to notice.
Fan Fan raised his eyes. He listened to the voices of the crew talking to each other at work. They complained about the voyage and said that they would die against Morey. Others talked about the stupidity of King Stephen and how they were not loyal. This person or his war.
Then Fan Fan realized what was happening. This demon was doing the same thing. He witnessed another demon’s council meeting in Grandi. The demon was spreading doubt, frustration, hatred and fear. These seeds soon Take root in this group of mercenaries.
Fan Fan must know how many people have deviated from this mission unknowingly. If there is a demon on this ship, then other ships may have the same behavior.
Fan Fan was looking for the demon again, and it hovered around the captain and his first officer. Fan Fan moved quickly, crossing the deck to avoid being seen by the demon. When he walked to a dim corridor under the deck and saw no one else nearby, he appeared in the real world again. Fan Fan walked through the rooms and corridors below sea level. He passed several crew members, but no one noticed him.
Assuming he had gone far enough, Fan Fan moved again, and he crossed the hull into the high seas. Fan Fan found the next ship and walked towards that ship.
Fan Fan passed through the hull unhindered and entered what looked like a kitchen. He saw that the cook on the boat was the only person present. The man faced him, focused on cooking. Fan Fan went from the god world to the material world, ran up a ladder, and then went up to the main deck. His leather backpack and sheepskin were placed beside him.
When Fan Fan ascended the last flight of stairs, he heard the frustrated sound of fluttering in the air flow again. He walked to the main deck and saw another demon floating among those who were climbing the ropes. The demon planted the same seeds of hatred and lies, intended to persuade the crew to return from the mission.
Fan Fan ran to the captain's residence, even though the captain himself was on the deck near the rudder. Fan Fan took off one of the parchments, stuffed it in the door, and asked the captain to look for it later. He can't appear in front of that person by himself.
Fan Fan climbed down the stairs and found a safe place to enter the realm of the jīng god without being noticed. He crossed the hull again and entered the blue ocean. Fan Fan visited all the remaining ships in this way. Every time, he would leave a document from Captain Bonnister at the captain's door. Every time he encounters a mercenary ship, he finds a demon spreading lies at work into the unconscious minds of the captain and crew. It was time to report to Mestrom and tell its captain the unpleasant truth.
When Van Fan returned to the Maelstrom, the sun had subsided in the sky, and dusk arrived. Although the crew’s dinner bell had rang, Gideon and Captain Bonnister were still standing on the deck, waiting for Van Fan to return.
When Fan Fan landed on the deck of the Maistrom and returned to the physical world, two new friends warmly welcomed him.
"Fan Fan, my child, you are safe!" Bonnister said, he took the bag that Fan Fan exchanged, "You have completed the task!"
Gideon smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"I gave them all, but I brought bad news from the fleet. I saw some depressing activities by other ships, especially mercenary ships," Fan Fan said.
"I understand," Bonnister replied, his joy has now disappeared, and then he recovered long enough, saying: "If you bring me bad news, then at least we can hear what we Time to enjoy a good meal, isn't it? Come on, my friends, let's eat at my place. I have asked Cook to prepare a meal suitable for the king for us.
According to him, this meal is suitable for members of the royal family—at least if the royal family means they know the food in front of them is good. Fan Fan has been starving after his activities in the realm of the gods. He walked back and forth many times throughout the day. For some reason, he felt more exhausted during this test than after he returned from fighting on the slave ship. Maybe it was because of a fight, or he was just getting used to it all.
Fanfan greedily ate roast beef, potatoes and corn, and he kept thinking about how beautiful everything is.
"Tell me the bad news you brought," Bonnister said, taking a sip from the cup.
Fan Fan swallowed the bite he had chewed. "Well, I boarded two ships loyal to King Stephen and found nothing unusual." Fan Fan ignored telling everyone how he made a captain spill the tea. . "But when I came to the first mercenary ship, I realized that there was a demon on the ship. I avoided the sight of that creature in the physical world, but I could still hear what it said in the crew."
"What are those words?" Gideon asked. The samurai priest ignores his food and concentrates on Fan Fan's story.
"It talks about hating King Stephen. If they continue, this mission against Morey's Navy will take their lives. The devil even said bad things about you, Captain."
"Really?"
"Yes, I think this is to discourage the captain and their crew from saying these things. Every mercenary ship I encountered was instigated by another demon in the same way," Fan Fan explained.
"Can the crew hear these words like you hear?" Gideon asked.
"I really don't think they can do it, but they reacted to these words. When they talk to themselves, their conversation is the same as the devil said-they should not continue to be with the king's fleet Go to Emanuel, or how could the money not be worth their loss of life."
