Bansy Harbor... Alger was convinced. He had already learned about what happened to Bansy from his previous conversation with Angel. Although he did not dare to ask within the church, he confirmed the anomaly of Bansy Harbor last Tuesday night through his own private channels.

Most of the other members were in a state of confusion. Audrey and Fors at least knew where Bansy was. Emlyn and Derrick had never even heard of the existence of this island. At this moment, they all looked at Angel with doubts and confusion.

I really miss this kind of look... Angel straightened his back and said:

"Last Tuesday, Bansy Harbor was shrouded in fog and strong winds. The ancient sacrificial tradition revived. Some aborigines, led by a fallen Storm bishop who secretly became Heretical Leader, sacrificed human beings and summoned Zombie, causing a huge fuss. Fortunately, the local Mandated Punishers handled the incident in time, otherwise it might have endangered the entire island."

"Fallen Bishop?"

Audrey beside her exclaimed.

Compared with the armed forces of the church, the bishops of each diocese are undoubtedly more pious, and they are more scrutinizing and paying more attention to identity and belief. No matter what the reason, "fall" is a big deal.

"Yes, but when I Spirit Channeling him, the bishop didn't seem to think that he had betrayed Storm. He was doing what he thought was right - using all means to save Bansy."

Angel replied that she was still a little confused about Bishop Miller's answer, but there is no other way to confirm it now, unless...

She looked at Hanged Man, who had dual identities of Church of Storms and Tarot Club.

The latter did not notice this gaze. He pondered for a moment and asked:

"You actually have the opportunity to Spirit Channeling a bishop under Mandated Punishers's nose?" His tone changed a little, becoming more eager, "What about the bishop's Beyonder Characteristic?"

"Because the situation was unknown at the time, I could only Grazing his soul and Beyonder Characteristic."

Angel subconsciously touched her chest, and then she remembered that except for her clothes, nothing of her could be brought to this Grey Fog Space.

Hearing this answer, Alger sighed with some disappointment.

It's not that he felt sorry for Bishop Miller being killed by Grazing. Since he had degenerated into a cult leader, this fate was not worthy of sympathy. What he is interested in is the opponent's "Wind-blessed" Beyonder Characteristic. Now that the Potion formula is about to be obtained, if he can get Beyonder Characteristic again, he only needs to prepare Auxiliary Materials, and he can immediately deploy Potion to complete his promotion.

What a pity...

"The situation is unclear? Can you elaborate?"

Seeing that Beyonder Characteristic was hopeless, he casually took over the topic.

"It's like this. Mountain Top Cave next to Bansy Harbor, I was sent to Trier thousands of miles away by a strange rune engraved on the altar and stained with the blood of many people. Even the corpse of the fallen bishop also went with it. In that case, I could only go first to Beyonder Characteristic of bishop Grazing."

Angel explained.

"Trier? The capital of Intis Republic?"

Mr. World asked in a low, hoarse voice.

Angel was a little proud to hear that even this taciturn member couldn't help but ask questions. After she cut out some content that would reveal her identity, she told the members about her "Trier three-day travel diary" and the strange phenomena of Underground Catacombs, which made them all open their eyes in shock.

"A tomb that will disappear without a candle..."

Fors murmured and repeated, several horror story scripts instantly formed in his mind, and his yearning for a foreign country was unprecedentedly strong.

"We don't seem to have the power to teleport people thousands of miles away..."

Emlyn also had to admit that he had indeed never heard of this matter.

"After staying at Trier for three days, you passed the original route and returned to Bansy three days ago?"

Alger quickly grasped the key point and confirmed again.

"Yes, this is the strangest thing about the whole thing. It reminds me of the repeated exploration experienced by Mr. Sun, but it is very different... Have you seen this symbol?"

After showing the runes on the altar in the form of projection, Angel asked with a helpless tone.

After a brief silence, several people shook their heads, saying that they had never seen similar symbols. Then they all looked at Fool at the top of the long table, looking forward to his answer.

"Haha——"

Mr. Fool gave a rare laugh, and then answered:

"This reminds me of a 'King of Angel' who created 'Rose Redemption' Medici, and his descendants live in Binsy."

His tone seemed to be recalling an old friend.

"Binsy is now Bansy."

Angel added for Mr. Fool that she heard this word from the ancient evil spirit of Backlund and the mysterious Mr. Fool, and knew that this was an ancient name from thousands of years ago.

At the same time, she was also a little shocked inside. She did not expect to hear the name of another angel king ten minutes after Mr. Sun said the two angel kings, "Angel of Time" and "Angel of Destiny".

Moreover, when Mr. Fool mentions Him, does it imply to us that the power of Bansy Harbor involves the level of King of Angel, so we should not get in touch easily?

If Angel represents Sequence 2, then King of Angel is undoubtedly Sequence 1 at the apex of Potion. This kind of force How dare we little Mid Sequence Beyonder dare to touch it... But I have accidentally touched it. Moreover, it takes my blood to touch the runes on the altar. What does this mean?

Thoughts flashed through Angel's mind. He looked at the other members and found that they were also silent, apparently understanding Mr. Fool's warning.

Only Hanged Man nodded thoughtfully.

He is a member of Church of Storms. I am afraid he will find an opportunity to report it to the church and let them understand the seriousness of the matter... In this way, with the intervention of Orthodox Church, the power should not spread outside the island.

Mr. Fool stopped talking after a brief reminder. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, skipping this topic in a tacit understanding.

"Ahem, Backlund was affected by the Great Smog incident. The official Beyonder has unprecedentedly strict restrictions on Underground Market and Secret Gathering. Almost all gatherings have been cancelled. If you want to come to Backlund in the near future, please be careful."

Fors reminded.

"Sanguine's party was not affected."

Emlyn opposite her corrected her unceremoniously.

"Maybe the official Beyonder just doesn't have time to catch you, after all, your features are too easy to recognize," Hanged Man seemed to have figured something out, his expression became relaxed, and his tone became a little teasing, "By the way, I have already inquired about the price of the Blood Clan Baron legacy features mentioned last time, which is 4,500 pounds."

Before "Moon" lost his temper, he quickly changed the topic.

"4,500 pounds..."

Emlyn was stunned. The money was enough to buy all the dolls he was interested in, and he could also customize several different sets of clothes for the existing ones.

"I'll think about it again..."

This time Tarot Club ended with his regretful sigh.

"Ah wu——"

Angel yawned a little boredly, walked to the balcony of the suite, looked at the slightly calm sea under the night, shrank his neck in the cold sea breeze, slipped back to the living room, and closed the door.

According to the "Bait Plan" formulated by the three people, Danitz is currently looking for someone to talk to in a nearby bar, or going to the casino for a few rounds to appropriately expose his whereabouts.

Angel and Klein are responsible for protecting him secretly, and trying to find out other stalkers. Even if they are not the subordinates of "Steel" Maviti, they are probably the informants of some "named" pirates.

Tonight, it's Klein's turn.

Compared to being invisible, the ability of "Faceless" may be more suitable for this... Angel sat back on the sofa and picked up the local newspaper to kill time. Suddenly, a piece of Gray Fog appeared in front of him.

In the gushing mist, a figure with dark blue hair who did not hide his head lowered his head and chanted:

"Mr. Fool, please tell 'Empress' Miss that I found traces of two pirates in Bayam, one of whom is the person involved in the 'Bansy Harbor' incident Fourth Mate of 'Iceberg Admiral', Danitz of 'Flame'. He has a reward of 3,000 pounds. He is not strong and injured, but he still dares to go out and gamble. I suspect that he is just a bait.

"The other is the second officer of 'Admiral of Blood', Steel Maviti, the culprit who injured Danitz. He brought his men to Bayam, seems to be tracking down 'Key of Death'. This group of people is more valuable, but difficult to deal with. If Miss Empress is willing to take action, I can provide certain help and subsequent channels for receiving the bounty."

Good news, Danitz caught a fish as soon as it appeared.

Bad news, you caught one of your own...

Angel looked at Gray Fog who was gradually disappearing in front of her eyes and curled her lips. She did not expect that the first person to take the bait was Mr. Hanged Man, whom she had only seen on Tarot Club in the afternoon. The latter apparently rushed to Bayam's various bars and casinos right after the meeting and began to work hard for his 20% share.

It seems that the price of the Potion formula of "Wind-blessed" is really stressful for him...

But I didn't expect that he would know the clues about "Steel" Maviti, so that he could skip the stage of using Danitz as bait to spread information as soon as possible and enter the real "hunting"...

Thinking of the smile on Klein's face when he mentioned "hunting" when making plans, Angel somehow felt that the style of this smile matched "Mad Adventurer".

"Bang——"

The door opened at just this moment, and Klein walked in with Danitz, who had disguised his hair color and wore a peaked cap to cover his forehead and eyebrows.

"Anything gained?"

Since there were outsiders present, Angel did not expose the information provided by Hanged Man, but pretended to know nothing about it and asked.

"I'm very unlucky. I lost more than 10 pounds... No, that's not the point..." Feeling Gehrman next to him cast a cold gaze over him, Danitz quickly changed his mind, "I went to three bars and one gambling house. At the scene, I asked an intelligence dealer to find out the information about 'Steel', and I am convinced that a few people have seen my disguise and know that I am 'Flame'. Maybe tomorrow, or at most the day after tomorrow, someone from Maviti will appear next to me."

"Among the people you met today, was there a guy with dark blue hair?"

"How do you know? His name is Alger. He is a pirate with good strength but no reputation. He has a Ghost Ship under him and raises dozens of Sailor. According to our captain's analysis, people like him are likely to have the support of some big force. Of course, it is not 'Admiral of Blood', otherwise he would have taken action when he met me just now."

Sure enough, "Hanged Man" Alger had indeed been in contact with him, and it seemed that he had come up with a lot of words... Angel compared the information on both sides and smiled after confirming that it was accurate.

"Maybe we don't need to wait until the day after tomorrow for the plan to move to the next step."

Looking at her mysterious smile, Danitz felt a little guilty, feeling that his plan to agree to the two men's "hunt" for steel Maviti was a bit too hasty.

He subconsciously looked at Gehrman Sparrow beside him. After a brief moment of astonishment, Mad Adventurer's expression returned to calm. He reached out with his right hand to the top hat on his head, pressed the brim of the hat, and said in a low voice:

"Tonight, Gehrman joins the hunt."
