Rhoside Islands, "City of Generosity" Bayam.
Alger Wilson, wearing a bishop's robe embroidered with lightning and wave patterns, climbed onto the hillside next to the city. There are still signs of the battle between "Golden Queen" and "Mad Adventurer" a year ago. "" Rose School"Angel, Saint's traces include collapsed cliffs and fallen trees. Although a large area has been decontaminated by Church of Storms, it is still barren of grass and ordinary people dare not approach it.
He came to the edge of the cliff and looked at the harbor below. Several ships uniformly painted in bright red with graceful female silhouettes painted on the main sails were docked at the dock. Busy Sailor people kept carrying food and fresh water onto the deck.
This is the fleet of the already famous "Red Haired Woman" Ilian Sauron. It is said that her strength is on par with the Pirate Admirals, but because she only does transportation and does not rob merchant ships, she has not been given a similar title.
The side of the ship was crowded with half-giants who were more than two meters tall and had rough faces, somewhat like Feysac people. They curiously pointed at the cranes, trestles and cargo placed in the open air at the port, as if they were seeing these extremely common things on the sea for the first time.
They are the residents of "City of Silver"... Alger quickly confirmed this. His eyes swept over the "primitive people" wearing animal skins or coarse linen clothes, and quickly found the figure who was shorter than the others.
My eyes stayed on his childish face for a moment, and the corners of Alger's mouth turned up slightly.
As if aware of his prying eyes, City of Silver, the leader of the first batch of immigrants, "Unshadowed" Derrick Berg, raised his head slightly and looked at the cliff next to Bayam. His glimmering eyes quickly locked onto the figure with hair like dark blue seaweed.
It's Mr. "Hanged Man"!
Derrick's expression changed slightly, but after looking at the compatriots beside him who were interested in all external things and whispering, he still resisted the urge to go up and take a look, and just nodded towards the familiar yet unfamiliar figure.
If I had just joined Tarot Club, I would have excitedly gone over to meet Mr. Hanged Man, and then I would have been suspected by the fellow City of Silver residents... At this moment, he felt a little more mature.
Alger, who met his eyes, found that "Sun" did not show recognition of himself. He nodded with satisfaction, looked away, and looked at other ships docked.
It seems that under my... no, under the guidance of Mr. Fool and me, this member who didn't know anything at the beginning also learned how to behave... Alger felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
At this moment, a strong wind blew up behind him, carrying a tall "Mandated Punishers" wearing a Church of Storms priest's robe to the cliff.
"Wilson Your Excellency, a group of ships docked at the port, carrying many passengers with giant ancestry and suspected of being Feysac people. Now we and Feysac have not completely ceased war. How about..."
The Mandated Punishers captain reported in a low voice.
"Huh, I've been watching them for a long time."
When Alger turned around, he had already put on a serious face, and said in a tone that seemed to have an electric vibrato, making the subordinate lower his head and dare not move, and then continued:
"Feynapotter abandoned darkness and turned to light. Feysac and Intis cannot last long and will soon go to the negotiating table and admit defeat. At this time, we should not create extraneous matters. This is a sign from the Lord and a command from the church."
After a pause, he glanced at the fleet below the cliff, changed his tone, and added gently:
"But we are also responsible for the safety of the Rhoside Islands. When these ships set off, send a ship that is related to us but not directly related to them to follow them. See where these guys are going. If there is any abnormality, including other ships attacking them, report them to me immediately."
Before Alger became the captain of "Blue Avenger", the most he did was similar things. He disguised himself as a merchant ship to track the church's targets, regularly reported to his bishop, and directly transformed into a pirate to launch attacks when necessary. This would allow the church to grasp all the situations in the Rhoside Islands, but would not leave any clues for the colonial government and the military to think that the church interfered too much in local affairs.
Unexpectedly, he was now the one giving orders and waiting for the report... Looking at the back of Captain "Mandated Punishers" who took the order and left, Alger suddenly felt a little emotional.
Immediately, his mind echoed the task that Mr. "Fool" issued to him alone after Tarot Club a few days ago:
Secretly monitor and protect the fleet transporting immigrants "City of Silver" and "Moon City" until everyone arrives safely at "Dream City".
With the rumble of the steam train, Angel once again passed through the gray-white city wall surrounding the entire Trier and arrived at this metropolis second only to Backlund in the entire North Continent.
Compared with "City of Cities" who suffered many wars and was finally transformed into half a primitive jungle by the power spilled over from the divine war, Trier, at least on the surface, could not see much change. It was still the same as when Angel arrived a year ago, noisy and enthusiastic, but with a noble temperament that would make people thousands of miles away.
Of course, on the way to "Riverside Hotel" where he lived last time, Angel noticed that there were many homeless people on the road, and the idlers walking turtles were also missing. Everyone was walking in a hurry and no longer as elegant as before.
It seems that the war also had a big impact on Intis. At least they mobilized a large number of troops to invade other countries, and when they were almost victorious, it turned into a rout. They invested a lot but gained nothing... Angel was thinking silently, and a Chinese idiom that Klein taught her suddenly popped up in her mind:
Stealing the chicken will lose the rice.
It is quite appropriate to describe the situation of Intis... She smiled, got off the hired carriage with her luggage, pushed aside the black gauze in front of Ladies' Wide-brimmed Hat, looked up at the Serenzo River on the other side of the street, placed her luggage with the help of the waiter, and checked into the hotel's luxurious suite.
After a while, Angel got into Mirror World and went straight to the house of her "aunt" Sevillea who left a legacy of one hundred thousand pounds.
She came to Trier to do many things, but the first thing must be to find traces of the Demoness Sect and eliminate them in advance to avoid affecting subsequent actions.
Now that Loen and Intis have ceased fighting, she, the official Beyonder, can get help from Church of Steam and Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun. Even if Demoness Sect ambush several "Catastrophe" Demoness, she does not have to be afraid.
But Angel walked around Hot Spring District's villa belonging to the Sauron Family, peered through various mirrors, and used again After Magic Mirror Divination waited for other methods, he was surprised to find that Sevillea left here a month ago, and her mother "Black Witch" Clarice never appeared again.
Unwilling to be reconciled, she went to "Red House Cafe" in Shayo Town, and unsurprisingly learned that the lady whose charm attracted all women had not been here for a long time. The orange-red haired girl who often accompanied her had also been missing for a long time, which made the guests of the cafe feel sorry.
"They all evacuated... Did 'Demoness Sect' replace Demoness to manage Trier's affairs, or did he simply give up on the city?"
In the gray Mirror World, Angel muttered.
Although she forced Clarice to tell all the information about the top management of "Demoness Sect" last time, after the other party faked his death and escaped, these color-coded Demoness would inevitably adjust their deployment to avoid being wiped out by the official Beyonder. That information no longer had much effect.
What's more, every Demoness is a master of hiding their identity and resisting divination. Even if Angel is a master of divination, it will be difficult to find them on his own.
"Perhaps we can ask Klein to divine. He is Angel of 'Seer' Pathway. With the help of Sefirah, he should be a little stronger than me..."
She pondered for a moment and returned to Hot Spring District's Sauron family villa to mark several mirrors for later surveillance. When she was about to leave, she found that the owner of the villa had returned home.
He was a middle-aged man with a small beard and dark red hair. He was well-dressed but could not hide his fatigue.
Jacob Sauron, the father of Ilian Sauron and the side brother of the Sauron Family, squandered most of his property and had to rely on his daughter to work hard at sea to pay off his debts. He remarried a year and a half ago, to Sevillea... Angel recalled the information about this man in his mind, and Mirror World laughed softly.
She has noticed that the other party's physical condition is not good, and he has a decadent appearance of excessive indulgence. If Sevillea does not escape "in time", I am afraid that Helene will lose his father in a short time.
In various senses, Jacob Budu has a "close" connection with Sevillea. Maybe traces of the latter can be found in him...
Angel made up his mind and drilled out from Mirror World. A "Slumber Charm" Charm knocked down the Jacob cloth that had just returned to the study on the second floor.
She took a drop of the other person's blood from the air, her eyes flashed, and she was about to use Magic Mirror Divination to investigate, when she suddenly discovered that there was some kind of "trap" in the other person's blood.
At this moment, Angel's Spirituality sounded alert, and a powerful Beyonder was approaching her through Spirit World!
