After helping Father Utravsky distribute the medicine, Angel felt satisfied in his heart when he saw how these Affliction patients improved significantly after taking them.
She put the empty cup away and put it back on the altar, then walked towards Klein, and was surprised to find that he was chatting in a low voice with a handsome man over 1.8 meters tall.
"Are you... the Vampire Emlyn White who was captured by Priest?"
Although he had never seen the unlucky Vampire with his own eyes, Priest had previously said that he was cooking medicine in the kitchen, and Angel quickly confirmed his identity based on his dress.
"Sanguine, noble Sanguine, okay?"
Emlyn handed several small medicine bottles to Klein, turned around and retorted angrily, and then looked confused, frowning and asked:
"I've heard your voice. You're not the guy who defrauded me of 'Master Key' through the door before, are you?"
"First of all, that is Father Utravsky's key, which is the reward I got for helping him; secondly, that cursed key has been... destroyed. If you want it back, I'm afraid you have to pray to 'True Creator'."
Angel retorted unceremoniously.
"'True Creator'! That evil god?"
Vampire was obviously frightened, and the expression on his face clearly told Angel that he had no intention of pursuing the whereabouts of the Mystical Item.
Klein on the side chuckled, took over Angel's words, and said jokingly:
"He really wanted to pray to a certain secret existence just now, but it wasn't 'True Creator', but...'Fool'."
Seeing a man and a woman looking at him with strange smiles, Emlyn suddenly felt guilty and began to doubt the rationality and safety of his plan.
After playing tricks on the unlucky Vampire, Angel and Klein quickly left Harvest Church. There were still many patients waiting to receive medicines lined up at the door. Their conditions were slightly mild, so they were not arranged to stay in the church. However, the long queue was still tens of meters long. I am afraid that the box of herbs that Priest moved in would be exhausted soon.
The two returned to the street in silence and got into a hired carriage. It was not until the vehicle drove away from Rose Street and the church spire and Life Holy Emblem could no longer be seen outside the window that Klein spoke again and asked about the result of the communication between Angel and Priest.
"As I guessed, this Mystical Item 'summoned' weapon belongs to Dawn Paladin's 'Sword of Dawn'. It is tough and sharp. It has additional Purification effects on Wraith and evil spirits, and it comes with 'reduce the impact of extraordinary power' The ability of the 'warrior' Pathway is to strengthen the body. According to him, Beyonder Ability with two Sequences will have almost no effect on warriors. Even Beyonder Ability with the same Sequence will have a considerable degree of reduction."
Although this effect is not as good as "Dawn Armor" which seems to have stronger protection, it will have a miraculous effect on certain abilities that can penetrate the protection and attack the body directly.
If this weapon can be obtained a few days in advance, will the outcome of the battle with "Lady Despair" change... Angel couldn't help but think so, but soon came to a negative conclusion on his own. Panacea, as The Demoness of Despair of Sequence 4 can absolutely suppress the Angel of the same Pathway. Even if there is one more Mystical Item, the outcome will probably be the same.
The car ride was spent chatting between the two. Strangely, there were no "unlucky" incidents such as a broken axle or a frightened horse. Angel touched his waist several times, suspecting that the "Good Luck" pistol had been left behind by Harvest Church.
Their second destination is Iron Gate Street and Bravehearts Bar of Backlund Bridge Borough, making final preparations for leaving Backlund next week - forging new identities.
As an area close to East Borough, the area near the bridge also suffered a lot of losses in Great Smog. Although there were not many dead people, some diseases that were not fatal but could affect the body had quietly spread among the crowd. When the two came to "Bravehearts Bar", the business here was obviously much sluggish than a few days ago. The bartender was yawning boredly behind the bar, as if he hadn't woken up.
Angel and Klein first ordered a somewhat simple lunch. After filling their stomachs with some burnt sausages sandwiched between bread, they came to the bar together.
"Looking for Kaspars, there is big business."
Klein said in a low voice, looking familiar.
The bartender looked at him slightly surprised and replied:
"You should have come a few days earlier. That guy is dead. It is said that he was smothered to death by a pillow while sleeping at night. Guess what the police said? Ha, it was an accident."
This kind of intelligence monger would be accidentally suffocated to death by a pillow... Shouldn't he be more concerned about being retaliated against? Not to mention Beyonder, even if an ordinary person broke into his bedroom, he could easily do it... No, this may be the police's rhetoric to the outside world. Maybe the official Beyonder has already intervened in the investigation, and the "accident" is just a cover-up for the extraordinary event.
Angel was thoughtful. She looked at Klein beside her. The latter also frowned, obviously thinking of this. After a moment, he nodded and asked:
"Then does he have a successor?"
"Of course, we are in need of sellers. Go to the usual place and look for 'Old Man'."
The "old place" the bartender refers to is a small room behind the bar with a pool table that is occupied by a few strong men all year round, but it is actually the place used by Kaspars for secret transactions.
Pushing open the ajar door, the two entered the small room. There were several balls of different colors randomly placed on the billiard table inside. There was dust on the cue sticks. It seemed that no one had played for a while.
A relatively young boy was sitting in the shadow of the corner. When he saw someone coming in, he stood up and walked into the light. Angel instantly recognized this young man wearing a round hat and an old coat, Ian.
That was another kidnapper she met when she and Dominic broke into Zimang Party's warehouse in order to rescue the kidnapped Sonia shortly after she came to Backlund.
Unexpectedly, Ian, who was rescued by her at that time and claimed to be "disappearing for a while", appeared in Bravehearts Bar again, and replaced Kaspars, who died mysteriously, and became a new information dealer.
"Sherlock Moriarty Detective!" Ian first recognized Klein, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a thick beard. Then he turned to Angel, his eyes lit up, "Madam, we have met again, and I still owe you a favor!"
"I didn't expect you to be the 'Old Man' the bartender said."
Looking at Ian who had put on two pieces of beard and pretended to be mature, Angel chuckled and replied.
After explaining his purpose to this new information dealer, Ian first nodded, then frowned and said:
"I have many channels for making fake identities. I used Kaspars's and my own, but I'm afraid it will be a little difficult these days. I heard some rumors. Yesterday's Great Smog was made by some cultists. Now the police, military and even MI9 are hunting for unidentified people. Now making fake identities is equivalent to getting together yourself, with 'come and catch me' written on the head..."
The two looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.
Unexpectedly, yesterday's Great Smog was not only extremely lethal, but also had a profound impact on the situation in Backlund. From this point of view, the two of them might be able to leave Backlund in their current identities and detour to other cities before going to Pritz Harbor. Otherwise, it would be easy for the tracking eyes to be directed to their real destination.
"Perhaps you can wait for a while, two to three weeks, after the New Year at the latest, this high alert will be relaxed, and the price of fake ID documents will be cheaper by then. After all, well, too many people died this time."
Speaking of this, Ian's mood was also a little low. Whether he was a "good citizen" or an information dealer like him, they all had similar attitudes towards this sudden disaster.
Walking out of Bravehearts Bar, Klein sighed, looked at Angel, and said:
"It seems that the only option is to choose a backup plan."
As an alternative, Angel will leave Backlund as "Irene Watson", "return" to Tingen, and then choose the false identity there to go to Pritz Harbor, and "Sherlock Moriarty" will go to Desi Bay to spend the cold winter like many Backlund people with a little spare money, and then change the route halfway and meet at Pritz Harbor.
This will probably waste an extra week or so, but it will allow the two of them to get rid of their current identities and possible prying eyes, and leave North Continent from Pritz Harbor. At the same time, they can retain their current identities so that they can have a reason to return to Backlund in the future.
It's a pity that "0-08" and its pen holder Ince Zangwill will return to Backlund soon. Otherwise, it might be a better choice for us to spend the New Year here and buy a fake identity at a cheaper price before leaving...
Angel thought silently, and got into the mercenary carriage with Klein.
After a while, Klein retracted his gaze from the window, looked this way, and said:
"Tonight..."
Before he finished speaking, an illusory figure appeared next to the window, and the temperature of the entire carriage dropped significantly, as if the doors and windows were opened and cold wind poured in.
Evil spirit, or Wraith?
Angel reacted instantly, and the "Knight Bracelet" in his left hand was about to turn into a dagger. Klein, who was sitting opposite, also opened his eyes wide, but he did not move, but looked at Angel in surprise.
"You need fake ID?"
This somewhat erratic voice came, making Angel feel a little familiar.
She looked sideways, and sure enough, the figure next to her gradually became clearer. It was "Wraith" Sharron Miss wearing a small black hat and a gothic dress.
Seeing that Angel was a little nervous, her blue eyes moved away uncomfortably, and her voice became condensed and no longer unreal:
"I'll knock on the door next time."
Someone knocked on the door of the moving carriage, which would probably be even more terrifying... Angel relaxed and no longer dwelled on Sharron Miss's intrusion, but continued her topic and answered:
"Yes, we will leave Backlund soon and prepare to change our identities."
"2 days, 100 pounds."
Sharron, who cherishes words like gold, replied immediately.
After a moment, the two of them understood what she meant.
Unexpectedly, this Beyonder had channels that the intelligence dealer Ian could not reach. Angel, who had originally planned to separate from Klein and leave Backlund alone, was a little surprised. He looked at the Klein opposite. The latter nodded slightly and reached into his windbreaker. He quickly took out a note that had been written long ago, which contained the identity information he needed.
"Gehrman Sparrow?"
After taking the note and glancing at it, Sharron read out the name on it in a questioning tone, but did not continue to ask. Instead, he put the note away and looked at Angel again.
"What about you?"
"Copying book reviews, right?"
