"Waaah!" Bugs Bunny whimpered and collapsed directly onto the ground.
Klein Moretti looked on with surprise at Bugs Bunny, who had suddenly appeared before him and collapsed onto the ground. His gaze swept around with a serious expression, and only after sensing no danger did he take a few steps forward.
Klein Moretti half-squatted, turning Bugs Bunny over. He activated his Spirit Vision and carefully examined Bugs Bunny for a moment, confirming that it was merely feeling unwell and hadn't sustained any injuries. He then felt a little relieved.
Immediately after, he reached out and patted Bugs Bunny's face. Once it was slightly more awake, he asked in Gehrman Sparrow's voice:
"Why are you here? Where's Al?"
Bugs Bunny lay quietly for a while, and after recovering some energy, it looked at Klein Moretti, who was still disguised as Irene and wearing a golden-red dress. Its voice was a little weak, but very surprised as it said:
"Uh, why are you still cross-dressing?"
Is my cross-dressing more important than your boss? Klein Moretti silently grumbled with a poker face, then deepened his tone and said:
"Why did you suddenly fall out of the Spirit World? Where's your boss?"
Bugs Bunny suddenly came to a realization and immediately bounced up from the ground. The after-effects of its Spirit World travel hadn't completely faded, and its legs went soft, causing it to plop back down onto the ground.
"Ouch~" It mumbled as it got back up, saying:
"I hadn't even asked where to find the boss when that yellowish Old Man threw me out of the Spirit World."
As it spoke, it pulled out the cane that was pressed down by the golden-covered book, then poked the golden cover with the cane and said:
"Speak quickly, where can I find the boss?"
"This is just a…" book. Klein Moretti's words were cut short as he saw three cracks suddenly appear on the golden cover, as if it had grown a mouth and eyes. Faint yellow light flowed within the cracked eyes.
This golden book seemed to have suddenly come to life, floating into the air. It instinctively began to praise the God of Knowledge.
Bang!
Bugs Bunny, with quick eyes and hands, swung the cane it was holding, directly knocking the Book Messenger back to the ground.
Klein Moretti looked at Bugs Bunny in confusion, unsure what it was doing.
Bugs Bunny very arrogantly used the cane in its hand to press down on the Book Messenger, not giving it a chance to float up again. It said in a very serious tone:
"Quickly answer my question, or I won't let you get up, and I'll even stuff stones in your mouth so you can't praise the God of Knowledge!"
The Book Messenger's cracked mouth and eyes distorted. It struggled for a long time, finding that it couldn't float up at all. Moreover, the human, who it couldn't tell was male or female, was already picking up stones on the ground.
Only then did it open and close its mouth, emitting a somewhat hoarse and sharp voice:
"You dark, ugly, fat, and distorted-minded rabbit!"
"You heretics who don't believe in the God of Knowledge!"
"Ow! Stinky rabbit, don't press so hard, my cover is pure gold, you can't treat my face so roughly!"
Bugs Bunny simply sat down on the book, directly waving the cane in its hand, striking the Book Messenger's cover again and again.
"Ow!"
"My eyes! My… mouth!"
"You dark, dirty, wicked rabbit… Ugh…"
"Waaah…"
"Stop hitting… I… can't… speak…"
Bugs Bunny then stood up from the Book Messenger. It stared at the now silent book and nodded in satisfaction.
Klein Moretti maintained his expressionless demeanor, standing quietly to the side, casually toying with the stones in his hand, as if as long as this golden book made any unusual move, the stones in his hand would smash onto the book's cover.
The Book Messenger's golden, cast-like cover now had many dents, and combined with its cracked eyes and mouth, it was a completely distorted face.
It floated up from the ground somewhat unsteadily, glaring at Bugs Bunny, who had just hit it, and said:
"Stinky rabbit… cough cough~, I can locate him through the contract. Uh, he's still in this sea area, but he's moving away."
"His condition doesn't seem quite right. The connection we established through the contract is somewhat faint."
As soon as it finished speaking, it shook the book, and a pale yellow piece of paper fell out. The paper floated directly towards Bugs Bunny, and at the same time, the Book Messenger continued:
"Alright, you can use this paper to track it, and you can also use it to contact me, I want to…"
Bang!
Before it could finish speaking, Bugs Bunny directly flung the cane in its hand, knocking the Book Messenger to the ground again. It kicked off with its legs, leaping into the air, and caught the Book Messenger.
"You have to stay until we find the boss."
"Damn rabbit…"
Bugs Bunny skillfully slapped the Book Messenger's mouth with its paw, and the cursing Book Messenger instantly fell silent.
Klein Moretti's mouth twitched at the side. He saw that the golden book's cracked mouth had been directly dented by Bugs Bunny's slap.
I have to say, the physical quality of the Planter pathway is indeed good. In terms of strength alone, even if I am one sequence higher than it now, I am still far inferior.
With a slight sigh, Klein Moretti quickly collected his thoughts and asked:
"Do you have any gold coins or crystals or anything like that that can be used for divination?"
"Uh…" Bugs Bunny looked at its two paws, one holding a cane, the other holding the Book Messenger. It tilted its head and looked at the left pocket of its swallowtail coat, saying:
"There's a gold coin in this pocket."
Klein Moretti approached in two steps, reached into Bugs Bunny's body, and pulled out the gold coin.
His gaze swept over the Feynapotter gold rial. He quickly stood up, collected his thoughts, and silently chanted the divination statement:
"Al is in danger!"
After silently chanting the divination statement three times, he casually tossed the gold rial. As he prepared to catch the gold coin, a howling sea breeze swept by, blowing the coin off course and sending it towards the distant forest.
Bugs Bunny stared blankly as its gold coin arced through the air. It turned to Klein Moretti and asked, full of confusion:
"How do I interpret this?"
"…Divination failed."
Sometimes, no result is also a result. Klein Moretti pondered inwardly. He looked down at Bugs Bunny and said in a deep voice:
"Let's return to Bayam first and make some preparations. Your boss should be safe for now, at least not in life-threatening danger. We need to find someone to help."
This was the conclusion he reached after some analysis. Bugs Bunny appearing before him with this book, which was like a messenger, was likely an arrangement by the God of Knowledge. The fact that an arrangement could still be made indicated that there was still room for things to turn around.
Bayam, inside a hotel in the Dock District.
Klein Moretti, who had returned to his Gehrman Sparrow disguise, sat expressionlessly at the desk, holding a round-bellied steel pen, carefully choosing his words as he wrote:
Dear Mr. Azik:
I am currently still in Bayam. A High-Sequence battle just occurred here, involving the Demoness Sect, the Church of the Lord of Storms, and a friend of mine, which has also put him in danger.
The matter is quite complex, and I find it difficult to fully describe it in a letter at once. I hope you can understand.
I have performed some divination, and with my abilities alone, I cannot successfully rescue him. I think I need your help.
Klein Moretti.
Sighing, Klein Moretti folded the letter. Then, he took out an exquisitely old copper whistle from an inner pocket of his clothes, brought it to his lips, and puffed out his cheeks slightly, blowing hard into the copper whistle, yet no sound was produced.
Only when his breath ran out did Klein Moretti stop. He put the copper whistle back into the inner pocket of his clothes.
His spiritual perception was suddenly triggered, and he turned his head to look at the corner. Countless white bones were gushing out like a fountain.
These white bones quickly gathered and formed, transforming into a tall White Bone Messenger with eerie fire glowing in its eye sockets. The messenger shrank its tall body into the corner, looking as if it didn't want to see Klein Moretti, nor did it want to be seen by him.
