The alley where the conflict almost broke out returned to its usual desolation and silence.
After a moment, a timid female voice asked tentatively:
"Uncle Daniz, have they left?"
"Yes, Pearly."
There was silence in the alley for a moment.
After a moment of silence, the girl Pearly asked doubtfully:
"He looks fine."
"Not like mine, my...same."
What she wanted to say was the word "father". But emotionally, she was not willing to admit that the man who cruelly ran away after playing tricks on her mother was her father.
In Bayam, there are many women like her mother. After being deceived and toyed with the vision of prosperity by sailors and travelers from the northern continent, they were ruthlessly abandoned.
Unfortunately but fortunately, her mother was more stubborn and stubborn than other women, and she resolutely rejected the objections of others and gave birth to her.
Shit! That's just an appearance. The guy you see is actually the missing talent of the Church of Storms!
Daniz cursed in his head, but his face restrained his anger and said to her rather gently:
"He was a true 'gentleman' and you have to remember his kindness."
Not like your father.
Daniz didn't say the other half of the sentence.
"Um!"
Polly nodded heavily, with an inexplicable look in her eyes.

When Gray Linte and Joan returned to the Black Pearl, Weitz had also returned and was chatting with others on the deck with nothing to do.
Seeing the two of them, he quickly ended the topic he had just been talking to and trotted over:
"Good morning, Glerint, and...Joan."
"Morning, Weitz."
Gray Linte nodded and said hello without any abnormality, but when he saw Joan's face flushing slightly, she gave Weiz a white look and went back to the room rather impolitely.
"What's up with her?"
Weisz asked in confusion, did he miss any good show?
He glanced at Joan's back suspiciously, and then glanced at Graylint covertly, but found that there was nothing unusual about the other person.
"She asked me where you were last night!"
Gray Linte said with a smile in his eyes, which made Weizi's heart skip a beat, feeling very bad!
"You won't tell her, will you?"
"Honesty is a fundamental virtue, my friend!"
Gray Linte nodded solemnly in affirmation, which made Weizi stunned for a moment...
Although he didn't have any special thoughts about this rustic and dull wealthy businessman girl, the fact that he went to a brothel to be directly known by his friends of the opposite sex still made him so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into the cracks of the deck.
Without feeling any guilt for betraying Weitz, Gray Linte chatted with the stiff-faced Weitz for a few words as usual, then turned and returned to his room.
Fortunately, there was nothing unusual in the suite except that Jim felt a little bored and uncomfortable.
After being tricked by the "Witch's Makeup Mirror" twice in a row, Gray Lint became more and more cautious about this magical item, and even considered whether to develop a prayer ritual in advance and use the personality of the "Duke of Entropy" to directly use it.
It's sealed away.
This feeling of unconsciously affecting your inner thoughts is quite terrifying in retrospect!
It's a pity that his current reserve of mystical knowledge and the abilities he can use at high levels are indeed too little. If he wants to do something similar, he must go through trial and error. Only after many attempts can he definitely achieve it.
This will inevitably take a lot of time.
After being promoted to Sequence Eight, since Gray Linte himself did not gain any extraordinary abilities that he could actively use, he also had the same situation under the title of "Duke of Entropy", with an increase in spirituality but no additional extraordinary abilities.
He has become more and more certain that the extraordinary abilities he can use under two different personalities are actually the same, but the intensity will be very different after being used.

Time came to the afternoon of the second day of March in a blink of an eye. At this time, their party had been sailing at sea for four days again.
There are less than two days of flight left to Gulain!
Originally, Gray Lint thought that the unfamiliar waterway here was quite dangerous, and there was a high possibility of encountering pirates. But he didn't expect that he was just scaring himself.
In the card room, the three of them drank their own drinks, ate fairly good pastries, and chatted about various meaningless topics.
At this moment, a crew member pushed open the door in a panic and rushed straight to the table where the captain was sitting.
"Captain, there are pirates!"
He didn't hide his voice.
Hearing such a report, many passengers were startled. Whether they were playing cards or eating, most of them stopped moving their hands, and the scene was inevitably a little panicked.
"Damn it!"
"Sea Bear" Alvin, the captain of the Black Pearl, cursed and asked in a low voice for the specific situation.
The three of them, Gray Linte, couldn't help but lose their original joy and looked at each other in confusion.
However, they all have enough strength to protect themselves, so they are relatively calm.
After a while, Alvin asked clearly about the specific situation, stood up and comforted the panicked first-class passengers:
"There are only two pirate ships, and they have no artillery. We can definitely deal with them."
"Ladies and gentlemen, please go back to your rooms in an orderly manner and wait for the arrival of the good news. Don't panic."
"I don't want any passengers to be hurt by the chaos after this incident, not the pirates."
With his comfort and the maintenance of the crew, the first-class crew members, including Gray Lint, all returned to their respective rooms in an orderly manner.
"What happened?"
In the suite of the cabin, Jim asked curiously. He had smelled an unusual smell.
After a brief explanation, Gray Linte had no intention of rushing out to fight the pirates to the death.
He is a savage, not a madman.
During naval battles, his probability of being hit by a gun was no different from that of an ordinary sailor, and the results of being hit by a bullet were also similar.
The "Ring of Law" can only affect the surrounding area to four or five meters at most, and cannot even reach the range of the Black Pearl.
With artillery and steam rifles, Gray Lint did not think that this group of pirates had a chance to board the ship.
This battle is just about how much Alvin is willing to pay.
Most of the pirates are desperadoes, and they don't think their lives are of any value. On the other hand, on the Black Pearl's side, whether it was casualties or excessive battle damage, Alvin was not willing to accept it.
Having said that, Gray Linte still put in a lot of energy and listened carefully to the movements outside, ready to take action at any time to prevent the stray fish from harming innocent passengers.
If he was capable enough, he would certainly not do nothing and allow the tragedy to happen.
Unfortunately, due to the distance and multiple layers of wooden walls, Gray Lint could only hear faint shouts and had no way of judging the specific situation.
Suddenly, he had an idea and commented to Jim "with bad intentions":
"Jim, do you want to see it?"
He just suddenly thought that he could ask Jim to recite the name of his "Duke of Entropy" and pray, so that he could watch from "His" perspective.
In the panic of the battle, no one could notice a little mouse hiding nearby.
"think!"
Jim first answered instinctively, and then asked blankly:
