When he returned to the hotel door, Angel was surprised to find that Pierre was still lingering there.

At this time, it had been more than three hours since she left in the morning, and it was almost lunch time. I thought that this college student with a desire to hunt for women had already left, but I didn't expect that he was quite perseverant.

Angel simply went upstairs to change his clothes, took off "Madness Ring" and returned to the door as "Angelica". The eager Pierre's eyes lit up and he quickly came over.

"Beautiful Miss Angelica, I happened to pass by here and thought that you might need a guide to take you around Trier, so I stopped by to take a look."

He said in a calm tone, as if this was just a casual encounter.

If he hadn't seen the other party's anxious look when he entered and exited the hotel with another identity in the morning, Angel would have almost believed what he said.

"Thank you, Mr. Pierre. I came here from Loen just to take a good tour of this city that Emperor Roselle once ruled." She smiled like a flower, which made Pierre almost stunned. "Do you know where the emperor's life items are displayed? Such as notes?"

Angel disguised himself as a Travel person who admired Intisian and wanted to know about Roselle's life. He soon got a lot of information from Pierre. In the end, he made him pat his chest and promise that he could get a lot of Roselle's notes from his classmates.

Following this somewhat excited college student, Angel arrived at the residence of one of his classmates.

"Laura! Laura!"

Pierre knocked on the door of a two-story building and shouted loudly.

After a while, the door opened, and a short woman with fluffy brown hair poked her head out and looked at Pierre doubtfully.

"Pierre, aren't you going to class today? Who is this...?"

Only then did she see clearly that there was a guest standing next to her, and her eyes lit up.

Angel took the initiative to introduce his identity as "Travel". With the dual advantages of his appearance and Instigator's eloquence, he quickly dispelled the doubts of the female student named Laura and entered her home.

"Laura, show her Roselle's notes. She came here to travel from Loen, and she admires that 'Emperor Caesar'."

After showing an expression of "Sure enough," Laura returned to the study and took out a thick notebook after a while.

"I said, this is a diary, not notes," Laura complained as he pushed the notebook into Pierre's hands. "I have deciphered part of the part that represents numbers and determined its basic format. I believe that as long as there are enough templates, the contents of the diary can be translated based on the various things the emperor did in his life."

Looking at the chatting girl, Angel recalled the Old Neil he saw when Tingen City joined Nighthawks on the first day. The latter was also so confident that he could decipher the secret of the emperor, but he died under the pollution of "Hidden Sage" before he could achieve his wish.

In order to conceal her emotions, she quickly took the notebook handed over by Pierre, opened it and spread it on the coffee table.

Originally Angel thought that this thick notebook was all written by Roselle, but he soon discovered that the actual "Roselle's Diary" only had five pages, and the rest was full of analysis written in red and black pens, all with the words Intisian, which made Angel feel a little dizzy.

"This is my analysis based on word frequency and corresponding format. You see, these individual short sentences are actually dates. They also appear in small amounts in the main text of the diary, and I can use this to analyze the remaining parts."

Talking about his own interests, Laura became a little excited. He pushed aside Pierre who wanted to sit next to Angel, and moved closer to the notebook to give directions.

"It's a pity that many of the emperor's diaries I collected were fabricated by later generations, and many of the emperor's related deeds in various history books are exaggerated or even fictitious. This caused me to encounter various difficulties in my translation. Not only did I have to fish out thin needles from the ocean, but I also had to distinguish their authenticity... Well, this sentence was also said by the emperor."

Seeing the girl's tendency to chatter incessantly, Angel quickly interrupted her:

"I'm also very interested in the emperor's diary. Can you sell me these original pages?"

After hearing her words, the excited light in Laura's eyes dimmed a bit, as if she realized that the woman in front of her only wanted to collect Roselle related items, rather than sharing her interest in researching it to the end.

"No problem, these are just rubbings. The originals are in Church of Steam's museum, but they probably won't sell them."

She opened the notebook, tore off the five pages written in Chinese with a few clatters, and handed it to Angel:

"There is no charge for this. If more people can see this, maybe there will be more hope of cracking it."

It's a pity that someone has already cracked it, and he is even God...

Angel thought with regret as he put away the hard-earned Emperor's diary.

After achieving the purpose of her trip, she was ready to leave. Although it seemed that Laura still had many Emperor Roselle-related collections at home, if she continued to chat in depth with this girl with gleaming eyes, she would probably have to spend the whole day here.

Of course, as a thank you to her, Angel generously donated money and treated the two of them to a delicious Intis meal at a nearby restaurant. Of course, in Intis's capital, Trier, they were only considered local dishes.

"... But it also cost me a full ten pounds. Well, the corresponding currency here is called 'Gold Louis'. One piece of it is worth 20 Verl D'Or, but it can be exchanged for five pages of the Emperor's diary, which is also a good deal..."

Holding her bulging belly, Angel thought with both distress and relief.

After having lunch "Intis Restaurant" which is very different from Loen and cannot be said to be more authentic, Angel, Pierre and Laura said goodbye and returned to the hotel where he lived. Pierre obviously had various plans for the afternoon or even the evening, but Angel did not give him such a chance.

Looking at the slightly depressed college student, Angel chuckled and was about to say some words of comfort when he caught a glimpse of a man in a trench coat opposite the hotel door who was looking towards the door from time to time.

The other party is obviously looking for someone. He will look carefully at every passenger who comes in and out, especially women, for a few seconds, and then quickly look away without staying any longer.

"I'm looking for a woman. I know her appearance, but I don't know where she lives. Otherwise, I should have come directly to her... Heh, you're not looking for me, are you?"

Angel was a little speechless. Less than 24 hours after arriving at Trier, it felt like several groups of people were already aware of his arrival.

She quickly sent away Pierre who was still reluctant to leave, returned to her room, took out Magic Mirror, stroked the surface lightly, and said:

"Magic Mirror Magic Mirror Tell me, who is the man stalking at the hotel door here for?"

A scene was quickly shown in the mirror. A carriage painted black followed another hired carriage. Then several men in trench coats got off the car and entered Underground Area along the stone stairs. After the black-haired and brown-eyed Sevillea disappeared, the troops split into two groups and tracked "Irene" all the way back to the car, continuing to track the hired carriage.

Sure enough... she was the one who was targeting Sevillea. Because of her contact with me, even I was targeted... Angel put down Magic Mirror and thought silently.

"It's not like people from the Demoness Sect, they will contact Sevillea directly... It seems that it should be the official person of Intis, the 'Machinery Hivemind' of Church of Steam, or the 'Purifiers' of Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun...

"No matter who it is, I was all targeted by them because of Sevillea... This stupid Demoness was discovered as soon as he entered Trier. It's really embarrassing to the Demoness Sect."

With a sense of ownership, he helped Demoness Sect teach Sevillea a lesson in his heart, and Angel began to modify the subsequent arrangements.

She first packed up all her belongings, put on "Madness Ring", went directly to the street without checking out, found a hired carriage and left the hotel.

Soon, Angel discovered a black carriage behind them, thus confirming that "Irene" was the target they were following.

Then, she disappeared from the hired carriage on the way to Market District, jumped off the carriage when it slowed down at a turn, and quickly hid in a side alley. She calmly watched the black carriage pass in front of her, and chased the empty hired carriage away.

She herself used the Beyonder Characteristic of "Faceless" to change into a face that was 70% similar to the Laura she had seen today, put on a cloak to cover her hair, left in the opposite direction, hired another carriage to Observatory District, and found a hotel next to the entrance Purgatory Square of Underground Catacombs to continue staying.

This place is very close to the Underground Catacombs she will enter in two days, making it easier to escape directly into the tomb in case of danger.

"The other party's tracking does not seem to be very professional, especially the lack of response to Beyonder's related capabilities. Could it be that it is not the official Beyonder, but the military of Intis?"

Sitting at the desk in the suite, Angel was arranging his weapons, Mystical Item, and thinking.

On Friday evening, White Agate finally arrived at the destination of this trip, the capital of the Rhoside Islands, "City of Generosity", Bayam.

The dark clouds outside the window were billowing, the sky was dim, and it seemed that a heavy rain was coming soon. In Room 310, Klein had already packed his luggage, took one last look at the suite that had been with him for a whole week, and then left here, boarded the deck, and prepared to line up to disembark.

"Fire Flame" Danitz was wearing a black wig, and he got a peaked cap from somewhere to cover his head, covering part of his face. He lowered his head and followed Klein.

He always felt that there were several eyes lingering on him, some with tears on their faces, Donna who had just secretly said goodbye to Angel in a deserted corner, Aierlan who was standing by the gangway with his hand pressed on the handle of the gun, and Mad Adventurer who was cold in front of others and... behind others.

Klein had a brief exchange with Mr. Uldi, the father of Donna and Danton, and the employer of Krivis. After leaving the one-way contact information at the request of the other party, he looked back with a cold face. The moment his eyes crossed, Danitz looked away.

This guy, he probably didn't really hear anything that day... Klein tried hard to maintain his character, walked over, and stood still in front of this pirate.

"You can go."

He said in a calm tone.

"What?"

Danitz The first reaction was not joy, but confusion and fear.

He won't do any weird tricks again, right? Just like Tuesday night!

It wasn't until the two of them got off the boat one after another and left the gangway some distance away that Angel appeared from stealth and threw in a glass bottle containing blood that was still fresh after being treated by Ritual Magic. Only then did Danitz confirm that he had really escaped from the clutches of the two of them.

Looking at the two people leaving one after another, he couldn't help but said:

"Where's my hair?"

Without looking back, Klein threw a ball of golden hair. Danitz hurriedly followed it, but accidentally let the glass bottle slip from his hand and fell to pieces on the dock. The faint smell of blood spread around, attracting the attention of several passengers and Sailor.

Shit! This guy did it on purpose!

His lips were moving, and he was about to blurt out a few indecent words out of instinct, but in the end, the forbearance he had learned during the four days of hard life came into play. Danitz just kicked the glass fragments into the sea with his feet, and then followed the crowd and left this sad place.

Next time we meet, I, Mr. "Blaze" Danitz, will make you look good!

He glared angrily at the departing figures of Klein and Angel, lowered the brim of his hat, looked around, and walked in the other direction.

He wants to find the contact point of "Golden Dream" at Bayam and tell them that two Lunatic are here!

Two Xiao An, how about pyroxene?
