Klein was surprised that "Mr. Gar" would take off his mask in front of him. They had interacted several times in Backlund and had basically established mutual trust, but "Mr. Gar" had shown no intention of taking off his mask at the time.
But once he reached the open sea, he so easily removed his mask.
Moreover, Mr. Gar's appearance and demeanor exceeded Klein's expectations and imagination.
He originally thought that the behind-the-scenes owner of "Nanmu Dance Hall" must have had the air of a "gangster" even if he didn't have a fierce face.
As it turned out, his appearance was somewhat like that of a recent college graduate in his memory; he seemed very easygoing.
The only thing that contradicted this feeling was his eyes, which were like those of a seasoned warrior, calm and wise.

Danitz, standing nearby, remarked: "I never expected Mr. Bob to be such a young pretty boy. If I hadn't witnessed his prowess yesterday, he would have seemed like a very easy-going and kind person."
But when Odis said that he probably knew who Gehrman Sparrow was, the atmosphere at the table became a little awkward.
Facing Klein's cold gaze, Odis smiled and said, "German Sparrow's identification was forged by me."
"Well, to be precise, my friend was commissioned to forge it, and I helped her find someone to do it."
He meant to say that Bernadette received a commission from Miss Sharon and then asked her to find someone to forge the documents.
After all, when they set sail later, they would be flying the "Elements Dawn" flag, and his superior-subordinate relationship with Bernadette couldn't be hidden, so he told such a lie.
Klein interpreted it as: he had asked Miss Sharon to provide the documents, and Miss Sharon had asked "Mr. Gard" to forge the documents.
Although Klein misunderstood, he basically understood what Odis meant: it wouldn't be difficult for him to find out who was using Gehrman Sparrow's credentials.
"Don't worry, I won't investigate any further," Odis said proactively. "After all, everyone has secrets."
He smiled and said, "I just hope that once I take off my mask, we can communicate more honestly."
Klein then asked, "What do you want to discuss?"
"I'm assembling a pirate crew," Odis said. "I'd like to recruit a crew member who has worked the 'Sailor' route."
Danitz thought to himself: Are you kidding me? To form a pirate crew? That would require buying ships and cannons, which would be a lot of trouble.
Then he thought: This might just be a spur-of-the-moment idea of the young man, and he won't think that way anymore once he realizes how troublesome it is.
Klein said calmly, "I am not an extraordinary one of this path."
"I know, I asked you to keep an eye out for me," Odis said.
Just then, the lamb chops arrived. As Odis ate the chops with his knife and fork, he thought to himself: You probably can't imagine what a great fortune awaits you in Bayam.
Although Klein does not currently know any extraordinary individuals who have achieved this path, there should be such extraordinary individuals within the Church of Poseidon or the Rebel Alliance.
On board, it would be best to have an extraordinary person who has passed the "sailor" route, since the sea is their domain.
Moreover, he could also be used to access the "resistance army's" channels.
However, as a reward, they will definitely have to plunder some supplies from the resistance.
Klein hummed in agreement: "I'll keep an eye out for you."
After finishing their business, the two began to chat casually, with Danitz occasionally joining in their conversation.
After enjoying a delicious lunch, Odis wiped her mouth with a napkin and then got up to take her leave.
Klein politely got up to see him off, and when he saw "Mr. Garr" go to the restroom, he suddenly remembered that "The Hermit" had previously sought to purchase a magical item with the ability to "travel" at the Tarot meeting.
It seems that it was purchased through other channels.
Danitz noticed that after "Mr. Bob" left, he went into the restroom and didn't come out for a long time. He asked, "Were the lamb chops not fresh today? Did Mr. Bob get an upset stomach?"
Klein glanced at him but offered no explanation.

Odis returned to Lacha Island, rested for a while, and then began to teach the scholars.
Tomorrow they will begin setting up the drive array on the large ship, so their workload is not as heavy as before.
Because Odis realized that it was impossible for each of them to understand the magic circle he designed in a short period of time, he simply divided the magic circle into three parts, with four people learning each part.
This greatly reduces their learning burden, and they can also act as Odis's helpers when setting up magic arrays in the future.
That evening, Odis's "Wizard's Office" officially opened for business.
He turned on the lights, opened the door, lit incense, and then waited for the first customer to arrive.
Kentland Street was bustling with activity at this time, with many people coming to have their fortunes told, buy herbs to prepare for occult rituals, or purchase antiques as gifts.
Whether it's divination, occult rituals, or buying antiques, the night makes people feel more at ease.
This time, Odis didn't dress up as a wizard; she wore normal Rune clothing.
He wanted to try it out: what if he didn't actually play the wizard, but unintentionally revealed that he was a wizard and gained the other person's trust? Would that be a better way to play the role?
Before any customers came in, Odis roughly calculated her current funds.
He recently earned £2,100 from the Tarot Club, and last night he made another £1,300. This afternoon, not only did someone treat him to lunch, but he also received a £72 thank-you fee.
This brought his savings back above £4,000. Although he couldn't repay Bernadette's debts yet, it was much better than before.
At least with "robot crew members," we can confidently manufacture several spares.
Just as Odis was thinking this, he looked towards the door and saw someone enter.
But to his surprise, the person who came in was none other than Bazel, whom he had met at noon.
Odis paused for a moment, but did not get up. He simply gestured, "Please sit down."
Bazel carefully observed the furnishings of the room. The shop consisted of only one room, and on the shelves against the wall on the inside were many glass jars containing various processed or unprocessed herbs.
Inside the room, there were several glass tanks containing a group of fish.
Several animal skulls hung on the wall, their eye holes adding an eerie atmosphere to the room.
Incense wafted around the curtains, adding a touch of mystery to the room.
After confirming that there was no danger in the room, Bazel sat down opposite Odis: "What does a wizarding agency do?"
Odis pointed to the doorway: "Didn't I write it up there? It's for handling all sorts of strange and unusual matters."
Bazel then asked, "Want to take on bounty missions?"
Odis leaned back in his chair, smiled at Bazel for a moment, then glanced outside: "You're being followed?"
"Yes."
"People from the 'Red Lion Pirate Crew'?"
"Yes." Bazel was not surprised that the person in front of him knew his enemy: "This is an enemy I attracted, but I just realized that I misjudged the situation. The enemy is stronger than I thought, so I urgently need a helper."
Odis asked, "What benefit will I receive for helping you?"
"There were about fifteen or sixteen of them, four of whom had bounties: First mate Sandra had a bounty of 1,800 pounds, combat captain Bowen, who had recently joined the pirate crew, had a bounty of 1,200 pounds, and the two vice-captains had bounties of 800 pounds and 700 pounds respectively."
"We can split the bounty equally. Of course, you may have heard of the Navy's vampire gang, who only end up getting about 90% of the bounty."
This is already a pretty good channel; most of the time, you can only get about 80% of the bounty.
Odis nodded slowly. Based on the amount of the bounty, he roughly deduced that the enemy consisted of two Sequence 7s, two Sequence 8s, and a dozen or so ordinary people, or Sequence 9s.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
Such an enemy is indeed difficult to deal with for a Sequence 7 "Briber".
Bazel originally thought that the assassination attempt on the second mate of the "Red Lion Pirates" would only attract the attention of the first mate, Sandra, but he did not expect that this time "Red Lion" Taylor would go all out and send out all his capable assistants to surround and kill him.
It was too late to find reinforcements at this point, so Bazel thought of the owner of the "Wizard's Office" whom he had met at noon.
He noticed this man and Rupert while fighting the second mate of the "Red Lion" pirate crew.
He knew Rupert; he was a fairly capable adventurer. Theoretically, anyone who dared to watch the excitement with Rupert should also be quite strong, so he decided to try his luck.
Odis smiled and said, "The bounty can be divided among us, but the special feature belongs to me."
Bazel was taken aback. He was obviously aware of the existence of extraordinary traits, but in the previous battle, in order to get out of the fight as soon as possible, he only took the head of the second mate of the "Red Lion" pirate crew.
After all, you can get the bounty if you only take the heads.
However, to obtain the extraordinary trait, one must wait for some time.
Bazel hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay."
"I have another request," Odis said. "Join the pirate crew I'm currently forming."
Bazel frowned and said, "Sorry, I don't plan to join any pirate crews."
"Don't rush to refuse," Odis smiled. "Haven't you considered that it would be difficult to complete your revenge using only your own strength?"
"You are Sequence 7 now, and 'Red Lion' Taylor is Sequence 6. You can only kill the people around him, but you can't hurt Taylor."
"But if Taylor wants to kill you or attack you, like today, he can easily corner you without even showing his face."
Before Bazel could retort, Odis continued, "I know what you want to say. You want to say that you will be promoted again, but the problem is that you can be promoted to Sequence 6, but Taylor can't be promoted to Sequence 5?"
"Furthermore, you should already be aware that without the help of an extraordinary organization, it is extremely difficult to advance to Sequence 6. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy potion recipes and main ingredients for potions."
"But Taylor is different. Some clues suggest that he is a member of an extraordinary organization, and if he wants to get promoted, it will be much easier for him than for you."
"Besides, even if you kill a group of his subordinates, he can just recruit more. It's very difficult to really harm him."
"And if you're not careful, you'll be killed by his subordinates."
"To be honest, I see no hope in this kind of revenge."
Bazel's face was ashen; he knew this all too well.
However, he always harbored a glimmer of hope, believing that "Red Lion" had no powerful backers and that his strength would eventually catch up with his.
However, the person in front of him shattered his last shred of hope with a firm tone.
Odis did not urge them, because there were still many pedestrians outside, and the Red Lion pirates would not make a move for the time being.
Bazel hesitated for two minutes before asking, "Will you help me get revenge?"
"After the pirate crew is formed, I plan to hunt down a few 'great pirates' to establish my authority," Odis said with a smile. "Helping you get revenge and my own goals are not contradictory."
"Aren't you afraid of the extraordinary organization behind 'Red Lion' Tyron?"
Odis shrugged and said, "These days, who doesn't have some powerful backers?"
After thinking for more than ten seconds, Bazell said, "Give me some time to think about it."
"No problem, come find me here once you've thought it through." Odis smiled. "I might not be able to come tomorrow or the day after, but I will definitely come here on Saturday or Sunday night."
Bazel nodded: "Okay."
Odis then said, "Now tell me, what abilities do our enemies possess?"
Bazel cleared his throat and said, "First Mate Sandra is a beautiful woman with abilities such as invisibility, creating black flames, and creating frost."
"Moreover, they can use a mirror as a substitute, making them very difficult to kill."
"Combat Captain..."
Odis nodded slowly. This was a "witch," the battle captain should be a "weapon master," and the two vice captains were a "raging people" and a "provocateur."
The other members were all armed, and neither Odis nor Bazel were known for their high defense, so a volley of fire from them would be quite troublesome.
Odis pondered for a moment before saying, "Wait here for a moment, I need to make some preparations."
With that, he used the "Travel Ring" to temporarily leave and went to a secluded spot on Blue Mountain Island where Bayam was located, where he retrieved some extraordinary weapons and sealed artifacts from the "Wilderness of Knowledge".
When Bazel of Kent Blue Street saw the illusory door, he paused for a moment before realizing that there really was an extraordinary organization behind him.
Having spent many years at sea, Bazel had certainly heard of the ability to "travel".
This kind of magical item can't be bought with money alone.
Soon, Odis returned carrying a cloth bag: "There's no point in waiting any longer. Let's take the initiative."
He smiled slightly: "Let's lure them into the woods on the outskirts and have a good fight."
Bazel had long been prepared for a fierce battle, so he nodded and followed Odis out to hail a horse-drawn carriage, which headed towards the outskirts of the city.
Soon, they saw two horse-drawn carriages chasing after them.
