On this day, Danitz chose a quiet moment in the night and came to the room of Alger Wilson, who still served as "Church of the Sea God" Pope, but was actually a believer of "Fool". He met this man who usually carried Silver-Black Mask, but now he showed his true face.

This was not an informal conversation, so Danitz didn't have much pleasantries and quickly got to the point.

"Pope Your Majesty," he said with difficulty, "I have a question to ask you."

"Just call me by my real name in private, Danitz." Alger has a special attitude towards this believer who became Oracle before Mr. Fool truly recovered and his faith was only spread underground. "I guess you are still worried about how to be promoted to 'Iron-Blooded Knight'?"

Danitz, who was shocked, sat on the chair and nodded:

"That's a difficult ritual to achieve.

"For some reason, the players I tried to recruit would quickly alienate me. The relationship between them was not bad, but I, the captain, was isolated.

"You said, pray to the great Mr. Fool, ask Him to send down Divine Revelation, and ask thirty believers to become team members who share my mind. Will He agree?"

Alger chuckled and subconsciously glanced at the "Sea God" holy emblem hanging high in the room. Of course, this actually pointed to the Mr. Fool.

"You should know that this kind of forced 'recruitment' does not meet the requirements of the ceremony, and may even be counterproductive." He stopped looking at the joke and explained patiently, "Otherwise, if you sell a house at Bayam Xiangshu Avenue, you can hire a team of Beyonder to act as your temporary teammates and help you complete the ceremony."

"Reaper" Danitz, who was sitting opposite him, was immediately discouraged and his expression fell.

Seeing this, Alger continued:

"According to my observation, the reason why it is difficult for you to form a team that is loyal to you and has the same mindset as you is that you can't help but provoke each other and suppress these Sequence people who are not as strong as you. The team should not be like this. As the captain, you need to maintain a sense of mystery and keep a certain distance from them, but you cannot really alienate them... You have to know what to say and what not to say, and you would rather not say anything than make a mistake, otherwise it will be recalled by others even after a long time, challenging your majesty... How to grasp the degree of it can only be figured out by yourself, but you can ask Anderson who has been promoted to Saint."

"He said that he drank Potion while being chased by a team of thirty people who hated him." Danitz whispered, "I originally wanted to do this through provocation, but it didn't seem to work that well. It alienated the team members from me, but it didn't reach the point of hatred."

Does this guy really have the talent to be Hunter... Looking at "Reaper" who was frowning and thinking about how to solve the ritual problem, Alger was speechless for a moment.

If he hadn't known each other long before he became a member of Tarot Club, and he was already one of the few old friends by now, he wouldn't be too lazy to help this guy think of countermeasures.

After pondering for a moment, Alger said thoughtfully:

"If you really don't have the talent in this area, I can recommend another way to you."

"How to do it?" Danitz's eyes lit up, and he saw the hope of becoming Demigod.

"I think you should have heard that when certain Potion Pathways are promoted to High Sequences, they can be interchanged with other Pathways that are 'adjacent' in the mystical sense, and the Adjacent Pathwayss of Hunters are...'assassins'."

"Assassin? You want to say Demoness, right?"

After staying in Mid Sequence for many years, Danitz was no longer the stupid pirate who was priced at 3,000 pounds and hung out of the porthole by the young Adventurer couple who had just arrived at sea. Naturally, they also knew many characteristics of "Demoness" Pathway.

It was indeed beyond his expectation that Pathway and Hunter were adjacent, but more importantly...

"Didn't Demoness Pathway turn into a woman starting from Sequence 7? And she will become more and more beautiful and tempting to commit crimes... I remember that the 'Queen of Ailment' before the disappearance was High Sequence's Demoness, all the men and women in the fleet are her licking dogs... Do you want to say that the jump from Hunter to Sequence 4's 'despair' will not lead to this change?"

He looked at Alger warily, suspecting that the other party suggested that he jump to Adjacent Pathways because of some ulterior purpose.

The latter still had the same smile on his face and said:

"Of course, according to my understanding, starting from Sequence 7, Demoness Pathway will become a woman again every time she is promoted, and there is no way to take advantage of it.

"But compared to 'Iron-Blooded Knight' Promotion Ritual, which you are not good at, the ritual of 'Despair' Demoness is more direct. After the improvement of the End Church, there is no need to sacrifice innocent people. You only need to find a Demigod or Beyonder Creature of the same personality, and mainly use your own planning and ability to make the other party die in despair.

"The most important thing is that when you are promoted to Sequence 3, you can switch back to the 'War Bishop' of Hunter Pathway and return to your male self. Doesn't this perfectly bypass the part you are not good at?"

As Alger continued to induce words, Danitz's expression kept changing, first angry, then thoughtful, and finally hesitant.

"Then... how do I go back to see Old Man and my mother... if they see me turning into a woman, will they not recognize me? If they do, they might beat me to death... and my inconspicuous subordinates, they only have a tacit understanding with me when they are teasing me..."

He said blankly.

Haven't you already accepted this? You are starting to think about how to explain it to outsiders afterwards... Alger chuckled secretly, took off a gold ring with an exaggerated shape from his hand, and placed it on the table between the two of them.

"This is a Sealed Artifact made with the characteristics of 'Faceless'. Its biggest function is to change the user's appearance. When you advance to 'Despair' Demoness, you can use it to briefly transform back into 'Flame' Danitz to solve some problems that are inconvenient for women's bodies, while maintaining the existence of two identities."

Looking at the golden ring, Danitz felt that this proposal made him a little excited.

Damn, it's just a little exciting!

As soon as he took off the gold ring of "Blaze" Danitz, Christina noticed that the whole body of the man in front of him was squirming, and his flesh and skin were changing like semi-dissolved wax blocks being kneaded by invisible hands.

The messy burnt-yellow short hair quickly lengthened, and soon reached the waist of "Danitz". The roots turned black, forming a beautiful gradient. The dull eyes were like blue lakes that attracted people to stop. The facial features that were not originally profound became three-dimensional, the bridge of the nose was straightened, the red lips were slightly raised, the small and delicate ears were hidden between the hair, and the curvature of the chin was no longer strong, but instead drew a smooth arc, revealing the white neck and collarbone underneath.

Under the windbreaker he was wearing, the silk shirt was pushed up even more by his already strong chest muscles, and merged with his upturned hips to form a perfect curve. His bones and ligaments made snapping sounds, and his height and body shape had further changed. He no longer felt tall and masculine, but had a more charming aura.

In an instant, Danitz transformed into a woman wearing men's clothes in front of Tina and Dorothy. She was still the most Gentle Beauty, and even a somewhat holy woman.

This, what is going on... Tina took two steps back in horror, took the opponent's entire body into sight, and murmured:

"Genie, did you turn him into this?"

The handsome and rich Oracle suddenly became a woman, a woman whose appearance was no less than his own, and there was no way Tina could accept it.

"I won't do such boring things," the golden figure behind her replied with a sneer, "I just said that the negative effect of her Sealed Artifact is to make people stupid, while the positive effect, or the main effect, is to make people change their appearance and body shape, and become another person in appearance."

But I have already taken it off...Tina Before his thoughts could turn around, Dorothy also heard Genie's explanation and nodded, saying:

"So, 'Fire Flame' Danitz has always been a woman, but she just used this ring to disguise herself as a man?"

"This is true for now, but she must have become a woman in the past few years, because she is from Red Priest, that is, Sequence 5 of Hunter Pathway to Pathway jumps to Demoness Sequence 4, and this Pathway's Potion will turn a male into a female."

So, he, no, she was a man for decades first, and then became what she is now because of Potion? So scary, so pitiful...Tina looked at "Danitz" who had a weak expression and whose eyes were still dull due to the negative effects of Sealed Artifact, and couldn't help but sympathize with him.

This was also the first time she had truly seen the complete operation of Beyonder Ability. She was still frightened by the process of flesh and blood squirming, hair growing wildly, and bones all over her body creaking.

Dorothy, who had an inquiring expression on the side, even reached out and tried to touch the other person's chest, which was holding up the close-fitting silk shirt, to see if the suddenly plump figure was real.

At this moment, Danitz's dull eyes suddenly became sharp, and his half-open mouth with a silly smile suddenly closed, and he jumped back to avoid Dorothy's hand.

Her thoughts Slowing's brain also returned to normal at the same time. Her eyes swept over the two girls and Golden Lamp placed on the single sofa behind them. For a moment, it was difficult to understand what had just happened.

Did you fall into some kind of dementia just now? But I only put on the "hypocrisy" ring to change my appearance before going out. Sealed Artifact's negative effects cannot take effect so quickly, and even if it exceeds twelve hours, Saint's personality is enough to resist most Sealed Artifact below Demigod The side effects of cannot completely make me lose the ability to think normally... She was half confused and half panicked. She always felt that she was being manipulated by who was more High Sequence, or maybe even Beyonder with Angel personality.

It couldn't really be those two people. They had been hiding in the dark and stalking their daughters. And I almost said it just now, so I was stimulated by Sealed Artifact's negative effects and turned into a fool... She immediately thought of a possibility.

If I had known that when Xiangshu Avenue found this girl who looked very similar to Angelica Zaki, I would have pretended not to know and didn't go out, so I wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing... No, if I just sit back and ignore them, and they If something happens near my house, the unreasonable Gehrman Sparrow will definitely break into my house and tear me into pieces. Even if Charm is useless, how can I be more attractive than Angelica?

Shaking away the strange thoughts in his head, when he looked at Tina and Dorothy again, Danitz's expression had softened, and his eyes were no longer as fierce as they were during the Hunter period.

She planned to send these two girls who no one dared to offend to Bayam no matter what.

All your properties are here!

Seemingly noticing the change in Danitz's attitude, Christina, who was holding the "hypocrisy" ring in his hand and whose face was almost the same as Angelica, seemed to be "Golden Queen" in her teenage years, asked cautiously:

"Mr. Lieyan, or is it Madam? What happened just now?"

Hearing this nickname, Danitz suddenly became a little irritable. She suppressed her inner emotions and explained seriously:

"I suddenly thought of some past events just now, so I was a little dazed. As for the male you saw before, I actually have advanced makeup technology. Well, it is the secret of the 'Fool' church.

"In short, the current me is my real appearance, and the male Danitz is just a disguise."

"I understand," Tina nodded in understanding, and asked with a tone that showed no emotion, "So, you are just pretending to be 'Fire Flame' Danitz? What's your name?"

"You can call me Denise."

Danitz, no, Denise, while secretly laughing that the girl in front of him was too easy to deceive, told the other party the name he used when he was a woman.

This was registered when she served as the bishop of "The End Church", and this status will be used in the church for ten years as part of the compensation for the other party's provision of Potion formulas, materials, and assistance in completing the ceremony.

Of course, she also handed over the Beyonder Ingredients that she had originally saved for promotion to "Iron-Blooded Knight". Fortunately, the relationship between Church of the Fool and the End Church was pretty good, so this weird deal was able to be concluded.

After gathering his thoughts, Denise continued:

"Anyway, I was just pretending to be Danitz. I originally wanted to lure out a few blind pirates, but I didn't expect to meet you..."

She glanced at Golden Lamp on the single sofa and continued:

"Did you come to 'Azure Wind' just to put this lamp on the sofa?"

"Yes. "Tina nodded solemnly, with a very serious tone, "We are worshiping a Great Existence who can realize any wish."

Fulfill any wish... Anyone who can believe this must be a fool, I am afraid that even your parents would not dare to say this... Denise cursed, but did not dare to show it, lest he be caught by the terrifying Adventurer who might be hiding in the dark and the cash-strapped the Great Pirate, who would turn him into Beyonder Characteristic for sale. He could only hold back a smile and said:

"Then let me take you back. Where do you live? Backlund, or Trier?"

As "Despair" Demoness, she can carry objects of a certain weight to distant places through Mirror Tunnel Travel. Even if she crosses Berserk Sea, it won't take long to get to the North Continent.

"No, sister Denise, just take us to the dock."

The person who answered her this time was the black-haired girl Dorothy. Her appearance showed a lot of Gehrman's inheritance, and she also had the facial contours of Angelica. Compared with Christina, who was completely born from one of them, her identity as the daughter of both was even more highlighted.

Of course, Denise didn't know much about genetics. She just wanted to know why the two girls came to Bayam without any protection, so she quickly made a Magic Mirror Divination using her eyes as a mirror, but found that she couldn't get any effective information at all.

The only possibility is that the two girls are actually under the protection of a higher being, who should be their Angel parents... After thinking about this, Denise no longer hesitated, nodded in agreement, and took back the "hypocritical" ring from Tina that could transform her into Danitz at least in appearance. She was about to leave the luxury suite and send the two to the dock.

At this time, Tina, who picked up Golden Lamp, looked around and asked curiously:

"Sister Denise, is there anything special about this luxury suite?"

"Why do you ask? "Denise turned around and looked at Tina, who looked thoughtful and looked at him expectantly, "This suite is the room where the legendary Adventurer Gehrman Sparrow and 'Golden Queen' Angelica Zaki fought!"

"Ah——"

The two sisters expressed their emotions with drawn-out exclamations.

"But how do you know that? Could it be that the story in the novel is true and that 'Fire Flame' Danitz is really the servant of the Great Adventurer Gehrman?"

Tina hugged Golden Lamp, blinked and looked at Denise, and asked.

The latter's expression stiffened for a moment, and then he lowered his voice and replied:

"Because I was there at that time..."

Recalling in his mind how he used his arson ability to light fireworks to help the two of them celebrate the New Year but was almost discovered by the patrol police, and how he was about to ask Gehrman to "Red Theater" but crashed the intimate scene between the two, a bitter smile appeared on Denise's face.

The next second, she suddenly realized the hidden meaning in Tina's words.

Wait, she already knows that I am actually "Fire Flame" Danitz? Just now I thought I had deceived them with the excuse of "makeup", but in fact it was just them who deceived me?

Shit!

"Fire Flame" Denise was furious and suddenly stretched out a hand...

... She held the doorknob, opened the door, and asked softly:

"You two Miss, can you leave now?"
