"Fool does not belong to this era...

"Dear Mr. Fool, first of all I would like to apologize to you. I have seen the relevant information of 'Empress' Miss due to work reasons, but I swear I have never leaked this information. Today, I met a young woman in Bayam in the Rhoside Islands. She is very similar to 'Empress'. Has she already come here to perform some tasks for you?

"If that's the case and she needs it, I can provide some help."

Sour Lemon Street of Docklands, in the luxurious suite of "Azure Wind" hotel, Klein came to Gray Fog, and after hearing the prayer of "Hanged Man", he was a little dumbfounded.

"This stupid Demoness was recognized as soon as she arrived at Bayam... But this is also my fault. I asked her not to use 'Madness Ring' as much as possible to avoid being found to be related to Backlund's Irene Watson, but in fact this is also somewhat selfish..."

Klein muttered, not thinking about how to reply to Hanged Man yet, so he simply used his power as a superior to put the matter aside and talk about it later when he had time.

"If you reply too quickly, it will appear that 'Fool' is not strong enough. Haha, you can leave it overnight."

Ding——

He tossed a coin and did a divination to confirm that the encounter between the two would not cause any great harm to Angel.

On top of Gray Fog, he can eliminate most interference and perform the most accurate divination. Although it is difficult to break through the holy symbol on Angel given by Angel of Church of Evernight, he can still get accurate answers to some questions that do not directly point to her.

Even so, he still conveniently forwarded this prayer video to "Empress" Angel, as a reminder to her, lest she wander around Bayam and be recognized by more people.

After doing all this, Klein silently left the majestic palace and returned to the fairly large bathroom.

As one of the best hotels in Docklands, the suite of "Azure Wind" has independent master and servant rooms, a balcony facing the sea, a soft and comfortable rocking chair, and even a bathtub in the bathroom - the latter was the main factor for them to choose this suite.

"Proper bathing is good for physical and mental health..."

Klein glanced at the bathtub, resisted the urge to put in the hot water and lay down in it, and returned to the living room. Looking at the dark clouds gradually gathering outside the balcony and the increasing sea breeze, he sighed with some regret. No matter how many delicious food Bayam had, and how many scenic spots worth visiting, we could only talk about it tomorrow.

Squeak——

The door was pushed open, and Angel Feather Fall slipped in through the crack of the door. She closed the door and hung her favorite hat with white feathers on the coat rack next to the door.

"Klein, come here," she sighed when she saw Klein standing in the living room, waved her hand and called him over, and said in a low voice, "I have bad news. I seem to have been recognized by another believer of Mr. Fool."

Using "Faceless"'s ability to control expressions to hold back his laughter, Klein pretended to be serious and asked:

"What's going on?"

"Mr. Fool conveyed a message to me. A member who had attended a meeting organized by him recognized me. It was probably on my way to the bar to inquire about the information..."

Angel informed Klein of today's itinerary one by one, and then continued with a frown:

"If that's the case, then the dark blue-haired middle-aged man I saw in 'Sea Water and Flame' is very suspicious. His hair color is the same as the member I know, and I once guessed that he is a believer of 'Storm'. Maybe I can see my information as 'Nighthawks' from the church..."

"He thought I came to Bayam to carry out Mr. Fool's mission, but we are only here for vacation. Do you think I should answer him?"

I was able to immediately find the traces of "Hanged Man" in reverse direction, much faster than I thought... Klein thought happily and continued to guide the other party's thoughts:

"Is the member you mentioned reliable? Can he really help you?"

"He is very knowledgeable, especially the various legends and power distribution of Above the Five Seas. This may be related to his original identity." Angel thought for a moment and replied, "He is very reliable in big things and cares about small things, but he has changed recently. I think he can provide a lot of help in our next activities in Bayam."

She spoke highly of "Hanged Man", but her views were similar to mine, so I might be able to get in touch with him without revealing my identity... Klein pretended to be thoughtful, and nodded after a long time:

"Then you try to get in touch with him and find out about the local Beyonder party in Bayam. Where are the clues about the mermaid? It's best to ask the pirates nearby who have relatively high bounties and are not very 'difficult'..."

At the end, Klein's eyes were a little bright. Although the two of them are not short of money now, with a total of about 4,000 pounds, the material clues of Sequence 5 "Marionettist" have not yet been found, from the spy Intis Rosago's Beyonder Characteristic was contaminated by True Creator in the battle and was temporarily unusable. In order to be promoted later, he had to save at least 10,000 pounds to be considered safe, so his desire for Gold Pound can be said to be extremely strong.

Hearing the word bounty, Angel's eyes also lit up, and she said excitedly:

"When I was tracking Danitz today, I found my own wanted order, which was issued by Church of Storms. How much do you think it is?" Seeing Klein raise her eyebrows with an interested expression, she continued, "6,000 pounds! Two whole 'flames' Danitz!"

What's so exciting about this, no, I'm really envious...Klein pursed his lips, recalling the pirates active near the Rhoside Islands in his mind, planning how to quickly increase his "worth".

"The strangest thing is that they don't seem to have mentioned Bishop Miller's betrayal in the wanted list. Could it be that he really had to join a cult and perform a human sacrifice for the safety of Bansy Island?"

After a brief excitement, Angel asked again in confusion.

"It's not surprising. The betrayal is an internal matter of Church of Storms. They have their own corresponding procedures to deal with it. But if the matter is leaked and everyone knows that a bishop who believes in 'Storm' has become the leader of a cult, it will have a great impact on their missionary work in the Rhoside Islands and their own reputation. Maybe this wanted order is just a routine matter and there is no hope of catching you.

"However, you'd better change your appearance at Bayam to avoid being recognized. This time you are a believer of Mr. Fool, next time you might be a believer of Storm."

Isn't it also Storm Believer this time... Angel curled his lips, took off the "Faceless" characteristics on his face, and restored his true appearance.

"Then you have to be careful. This Beyonder Characteristic has quite a few side effects. Wearing it on your face for too long will make people crave blood and flesh. Of course, I found a solution..."

She said with a smile on her lips, successfully seeing some changes in Klein's expression.

"What is the solution?"

he asked cautiously.

"Eat...meat."

Angel replied in a long tone.

Just eat me... Klein breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the door, and pulled the bell that led to the reception area on the first floor.

"It doesn't matter, there is room service here, which can satisfy your appetite at any time. After the rainstorm, we can also go to a nearby restaurant to try Bayam's special grilled fish."

As if to illustrate his words, with the "rumbling" of thunder outside the balcony, a downpour of rain fell on the "City of Generosity".

Rumble——

Against the continuous thunder, Alger Wilson rushed forward quickly and returned to the largest church on the island, "Wave Church" before the heavy rain fell.

This is an all-stone church with a classical style and two tall bell towers. It was built in the early days of the Loen Kingdom's colonization of the Rhoside Islands. It has gone through hundreds of years and still stands here.

Passing through the narrow passage behind the gate, he came to the main prayer room and met the local bishop waiting here.

It's Jogoli, why is he still here at such a late hour... Alger frowned slightly. He just went to perform evening prayers as usual and had no intention of meeting anyone else, but he couldn't help but say hello when he met.

"Storm is with you!"

He held his right fist to his left chest and said hello.

"Storm is with you!"

The gray-haired bishop responded in the same way, and then said immediately without waiting for him to leave:

"Two things need to be done by you. First, there are some rumors in the city recently. The 'Iceberg Admiral' who owns 'Golden Dream' got Key of Death, which makes the nearby pirates ready to move, and even come to Bayam regardless of Prohibition. You should trace the source of the rumors."

There are such rumors every year, such as "Ghost Empire", "Solomon's Inheritance", "Key of Death". Anyway, the last ones traced are some drunkards or guys who hope to defraud adventurers of an investment... Alger was a little disapproving, but still nodded seriously:

"Okay, Jogoli Your Excellency."

The bishop was very satisfied with the attitude of this subordinate who had always abided by the church's rules and even came to pray every night, even though he had been disguised as a pirate to perform tasks for the church for a long time. He continued:

"Secondly, a new wanted order has been issued. Please pay attention to your informants in Bayam and do not try to fight her. All the people on your "Blue Avenger" combined cannot defeat her."

He handed a wanted notice in his arms that was still smelling of ink to Alger. The latter took it and looked at it with the faint candlelight, and found that it was a rare wanted notice with only text description.

"Angelica Zaki, disappeared after killing the bishop and took away high-value items..."

Just after watching the beginning, Alger was a little frightened. He knew that the person who could become a regional bishop was at least Sequence 6's "Wind-blessed". The Jogoli in front of him was Sequence 5's "Ocean Songster". She could kill a Church of Storms bishop. How could he dare to fight her?

"Yes, I will try to find clues about her and will never fight her head-on."

He replied smoothly, and moved his gaze downwards, continuing to look at the second half of the wanted poster, which was a description of the wanted person's physical features in words when there was no portrait.

"Loen female, with medium light blond hair, purple eyes, about eighteen years old... There is a white feather on her hat?"

If he hadn't been a "Fool believer" in the church for several months, Alger would have been unable to hide his surprised expression at this time.

The Angelica Zaki who killed Bishop Church of Storms is the "Empress" of Tarot Club?
