Chapter 176 - 175: The Unwelcome Guest Arrives
Undead creatures do not require air, food, or sleep. They can cross the ocean directly, walking underwater as if traversing mountains and valleys.
The Death Knight only contemplated for a few minutes before abandoning the idea of crossing the ocean that way—it was too time-consuming, and he didn’t have much time to spare.
He was a Death Fear Punisher, bound by the Decaying Garden, traveling through the Death Passage to various planes. He could stay on a plane for at most one day before the Decaying Garden would "summon" him back.
Death Fear Punishers are indeed undead creatures, but they’re not mindless killers.
The Death Fear Punisher would travel to different worlds seeking contacts and agents, regularly using fear and bribery to reestablish his authority among them, aiding in the collection and acquisition of intelligence concerning the Impermanence Card and related matters.
Under these circumstances, the Death Knight knew he needed to find a fishing boat at the dock and pay a fisherman to take him to the island. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to row or steer the boat, and even if he killed a fisherman and raised him as a zombie, the zombie wouldn’t be able to row or steer either.
The Death Knight approached a middle-aged fisherman.
"I’m busy fishing; I don’t have time for you."
"All those Gold Coins for me?"
"Get on the boat quickly."
"Don’t worry, my boat is famously fast."
