"Gehrman Sparrow? Does this name mean anything?"

Seeing Klein making up his false identity information at the desk, Angel asked curiously.

This last name was inexplicably familiar to her.

"Mad Adventurer, who hunts evil, the Great Pirate, the legend who controls Five Seas... Well, I need to add some details."

Klein stroked his chest and nodded to Angel as if introducing himself, and made a Gentlemen salute, then picked up the pen and added a few words on the paper.

"Pirates..."

Hearing this word, Angel remembered why the surname "Sparrow" was so familiar. In her previous life, she was a fictional but famous pirate. But why did Klein use him as a pseudonym and claim to be a legendary pirate? Could it be...

"With such a strange surname, it can't be an early work of Emperor Roselle, right?"

This time traveler two hundred years ago plagiarized almost all the literature, art, and inventions of his previous life, and crystallized the Wisdom of countless predecessors for his own use. Presumably this "Sparrow" is also one of his achievements.

"Roselle... So he has already used it?"

Klein looked a little dull and muttered to himself. After a moment, he nodded helplessly:

"Maybe, so am I, um, that's what I heard..."

At this point, he suddenly lost his desire to create, put down his pen, put the identity information of "Gehrman Sparrow" into his bag, and looked at Angel beside him.

"What about you? Have you decided on an identity?"

Angel was not as interested in improvisation as he was. He shook his head and said with a smile:

"How about you help me think of one?"

This easily activated Klein's interest again, and he said with bright eyes:

"Why don't you just call it Maria?"

"Change it."

She instinctively felt that something was wrong, and that the name had a special meaning that she did not want to use as a false identity.

"Then...Angelica?"

Although the smile on Klein's lips made Angel feel a little strange, the pronunciation of the name was similar to her own, so she hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

Recalling the process of the two of them making up fake names, Angel also handed over his identity information - Angelica Zaki, as well as the handling fee, and a stack of small bills totaling 100 pounds.

After paying the fee for "Hanged Man" to contact Knight Bracelet on her behalf, Angel still had about 2,200 pounds in cash, most of which had been deposited in the bank. After handing over 100 pounds, her wallet had shrunk greatly, which made her feel a little heartbroken, and her fingers turned white when pinching the money.

Fortunately, the indifferent Sharron didn't notice Angel's little thoughts. After she put away the note and banknotes, her figure quickly faded and disappeared into the carriage.

This "Wraith" style makes Angel a little speechless. Perhaps Sharron Miss has completely integrated "Acting Method" into his daily life.

——

On the pretext that he needed to pack up his belongings and return the house, Angel did not go to Klein's home today, but went straight back to Red Rose Street 47.

Her two safe houses were both in East Borough. At this time, there was chaos there. Countless police officers were struggling to maintain order and prevent theft, robbery, injury and other crimes that could be seen everywhere after Catastrophe. So she didn't follow her usual routine of going to the safe house and taking a detour back home.

Of course, another reason for not living in Klein's house is the new round of "Tarot Club" that will start tomorrow.

Although Klein, as a believer of Mr. Fool, is likely to already know about this small gathering located in the Gray Fog Palace, Angel is still prepared to ask Mr. Fool for instructions before telling the other party this.

Moreover, that would probably expose the fact that I "introduced" him to Mr. Fool... Angel shook his head with some worry and walked into the basement.

She dug out the Communication Potion Lola gave her, used half the bottle and applied it on the half-length mirror in the basement, and then quietly waited for the other party's response.

"Anyway, the validity period is not long, and I am about to leave Backlund, so I won't be able to use the rest..."

She murmured, throwing the remaining half bottle of potion into the air, and reaching out to catch it, finding a suitable reason for her waste.

"This makes me so sad. I lost a lot of blood in order to make this bottle of potion."

The sudden sound in the mirror made Angel almost throw away the glass bottle.

She looked at the half-length mirror, whose edge had turned dark and the medicine began to evaporate. Lola Swann's tired face appeared inside. The latter was wearing a hooded cloak and her black hair was held casually. Based on the angle of the image in the mirror, Angel guessed that she was using the Magic Mirror she carried with her.

"I have been waiting for your message all day. I even thought you died at the hands of 'Lady Despair' Panacea. It's great to see that you are okay."

Lola's tone had the sweetness unique to "Pleasure" as always, but the slight concern made Angel feel warm in his heart.

However, she did "die at the hands of Panacea". From this point of view, Lola has the temperament of a prophet.

"Fortunately, Panacea has no time to pay attention to a small character like me. She probably went to East Borough after meeting with me and launched this Great Smog..."

Angel selectively disclosed part of the situation to Lola, including Mr. A's attempt to summon "True Creator", and Panacea going to East Borough to cooperate in launching Great Smog to collect wronged souls, but he concealed his battle, death, and resurrection.

"It is consistent with the information I collected. This Great Smog was indeed created by Panacea, what they call 'Grand Plan'... It seems that her 'despair' Potion should have been almost digested. Hum, I am afraid that she also has a lot of selfish motives for taking on such a task."

After listening to Angel's narration, Lola frowned and murmured to himself.

"Creating large-scale tragedies and creating more 'despair' is this Sequence's way of acting?"

Although a lot of information could be guessed from Potion's name, Angel still asked Demoness who knew High Sequence Potion quite well.

"It's not the only way, but like the previous Sequence One, it's the most effective way to play. 'Demoness' Pathway means Calamity, this is the will of that 'Primordial'. Hehe, maybe we will face a new 'Unaging' Demoness soon..."

Lola replied with a sneer.

Primordial...Primordial Demoness? What she means is that a Sequence 0 of Potion Pathway has the ability to affect the entire Pathway of Beyonder, affecting the way they perform?

Angel This thought flashed through his mind, then he shook his head and replied:

"About this, you don't need to worry. Panacea has been solved by Angel from Orthodox Church."

She did not say which church she was from, lest the other party guess her source of information.

Although, my source of information is myself... she added in her heart.

"Angel?" This news was obviously not what Lola had expected. Her blue eyes widened in surprise, "... no wonder Demoness Sect's power in Backlund was almost wiped out. The 'Affliction' Demoness who presided over the situation was nowhere to be seen. Even the one beside Prince Edessak Trissy all ran away in a hurry. I heard that Three Great Churches had a tacit understanding in this regard, mutually restricting the Beyonder and Sealed Artifact of Sequence from entering Backlund. This should be the reason why 'Demoness Sect' dared to implement the plan, but I didn't expect it to be easily destroyed by such an Angel."

"Trissy escaped? Wasn't she caught or killed?"

Angel asked immediately.

Could it be that Angel from Goddess Church just stole Sapphire Ring from Trissy and did not kill her?

"Yes, Trissy appeared in the steam train heading west after Great Smog disappeared, but according to the Demoness Sect's anti-tracking method, this is likely to be her cover-up. She may still be hiding in Backlund, using Black Flame's Anti-Divination and the millions of people in the city to hide herself.

"It turns out that Imprisonment and her Prince Edessak committed suicide out of fear of being found guilty of 'harboring Demoness with the intention of treason'. According to the news from Vincent, Prince set fire to half of the Red Rose Manor. In addition to himself, several attendants died, including the butler of 'Arbiter' Sequence 5."

"As far as I know, this Prince is also Beyonder, right?"

Angel asked rhetorically.

"Indeed, so his death was probably not a so-called 'suicide', but was silenced. I think you can guess who was behind it."

Being able to "silence" a Prince is probably due to other forces in the royal family... As for the Demoness Sect and Aurora Order who are cooperating with them, the forces in Backlund may not have time to protect themselves at this time. How can they have time to deal with him?

Angel immediately understood Lola's hint, but she lacked specific understanding of the disputes in the Loen Kingdom royal family and could not judge which big figures were involved in cooperating with the cult, so the analysis could only be stopped here.

"By the way, Lola Miss, I may leave Backlund in a few days. The time is not clear yet, maybe half a year, maybe more than a year."

After exchanging information, Angel continued talking when he saw that there was still some potion left on the mirror.

"Leaving Backlund... was it to avoid subsequent retaliation? "Luo Fell short nodded calmly, "Speaking of which, you have provided us with a lot of useful information, and it's time to give you some reward. Do you need Gold Pound, Mystical Item, or some other reward?"

Hearing Gold Pound, Angel was a little moved, but what she lacked most at this time was not this, so she shook her head and said slowly:

"I'm not short of money for the time being, but if you can provide the tip of Two-Tailed Black Snake's tail, or the blood of Painted Bat, I'd be very grateful."

These two Beyonder Ingredients are the Auxiliary Materials of "Affliction" Demoness Potion. At this moment, Angel proposed that in addition to actually needing them to prepare Potion, it also meant to test the other party.

Sure enough, Lola immediately asked:

"'Affliction'Demoness... are you ready to be promoted to Sequence 5?"

Without waiting for Angel to answer, her eyes were dull for a moment, and then she immediately added:

"No... this is just Auxiliary Materials. Are you the official Beyonder and belong to Three Great Churches?"
