After the hunt for "Steel" Maviti came to an end, Angel had nothing else to do before the New Year. She and Klein prepared to spend the New Year of 1350 in "City of Generosity" Bayam, the largest city on the sea, and enjoy a rare leisure time.
The special delicacies made from various spices, the abundant supply of various fruits even in winter, and the unique scenery of the archipelago have made Blue Mountain Island where Bayam is located a well-known tourist destination.
Klein still follows the previous plan, looking for his own "Faceless" playing opportunity in this strange city, and trying to sum up his own Acting Rule from it. In addition to the constant changes in his identity, he and Angel went to restaurants across the city to taste different styles of food. They even tested his luck again in the largest local casino and lost 30 pounds.
On Thursday afternoon, Angel the Solitary One stayed in the suite of the "Azure Wind" hotel, trying to use his own blood to make the first "Calamity" Charm.
Following Mr. Azik's advice and her own experience in making Charm and bullets, she boiled a little blood and related materials belonging to the realm of death and Underworld together in the crucible until they turned into a thick dark red liquid, and then carefully blended it into the iron piece engraved with the runes found in the Bansy Harbor cave, dyeing the runes in the same color.
Because this Charm did not pray to other Gods to borrow power, she did not choose metals belonging to the God field such as silver, gold, tin, etc., but the most ordinary iron pieces, and the blood did not cut off the connection with herself in the same way as making Communication Potions.
Because she wants to "borrow" her own power.
Through the connection of blood, when Angel engraved the mantra originally used to pray and request God to give strength to Charm, she could clearly feel the rapid loss of her own Spirituality. With her Sequence 5's Spirituality, when the only "Calamity" Charm was made, there was not much Spirituality left. It was like Spirituality was exhausted after the war. The Sun point was throbbing and painful, and the scene in front of me was also a bit blurry.
But no matter what, this Charm was successfully produced...
Seeing that the blood color had melted into the iron piece, turning the original matte white color into a dark red "Calamity" Charm, Angel put the tool away with satisfaction, and stored the hard-earned Charm close to his body for emergencies.
If you have the chance, find a place where no one is around to try its ability... Even Mr. Azik has never seen this rune, so is it my own creation Charm?
She was thinking happily, but also worriedly, as she supported her tired body and prepared to go back to the bedroom to catch up on some sleep.
Klein left the hotel early this morning and went to Ximim Island on the east side of Blue Mountain Island where Bayam is located. He tried to play the role of a Adventurer who died unexpectedly and fulfilled his last wish. He would not be able to come back until the evening.
This also gives Angel some resting space.
She quickly got into the warm bed, Spirituality's almost exhausted fatigue became the best sleeping pill, and she fell into a deep sleep in less than a minute.
The coldness on her wrist awakened Angel, and she subconsciously touched her right wrist. The "Hidden Holy Emblem" hanging on the crystal pendant was emitting an ominous chill.
This usually means that she has entered a dream created by others... She immediately reacted and looked around.
The bedroom was shrouded in light from the west-slanting Sun outside the window. In the dim yellow color, all the objects were the same as before she fell asleep, and she did not feel the absurdity and disharmony in the dream.
Not a dream?
She left the big bed and returned to the living room, checking carefully to confirm that she was still in reality.
Hidden Holy Emblem After she woke up, she gradually returned to her original warmth.
After thinking for a moment, Angel took out his Magic Mirror and performed a brief divination:
"The source of my current strange feelings."
She muttered, touched the mirror, and saw a scene in the mirror that surprised her.
In a room that was almost the same shape as the living room she was in, "Blaze" Danitz, who had not been seen for two days, was talking to a beautiful lady. The sound was not heard, but it could be seen from Danitz's restrained and respectful expression that he was not the leader of the conversation.
Danitz? Didn't he disappear after receiving the loot? Why did it appear again... Angel muttered and put away Magic Mirror.
It can be determined from the picture in the mirror that the two of them are probably in the "Azure Wind" hotel now, and in a luxury suite on their own floor.
Is this why Hidden Holy Emblem issued the warning? But doesn't it only respond to powers related to dreams and divination?
She thought about it, opened the living room door and went to the corridor outside, looking at the doors of the other three suites on this floor.
If it was Danitz... She grinned, walked to the door of the suite farthest from hers, touched the door handle, and found that the door had been locked.
After using silk thread to pass through the crack in the door and opening the door from the inside, Angel stepped into a room with almost the same furnishings as the living room she had just stayed in. Her heart, which had been somewhat anticipated, sank.
The room is empty.
Found the wrong one? Danitz has booked another suite, or is the divination result not the present, but the past or the future?
She was about to leave with some disappointment, but suddenly she heard a low snoring coming from the direction of the bedroom.
Opening the bedroom door in the same way, Angel was surprised to find that the "flame" he was looking for, Danitz, was lying on the bed in an extremely ungraceful posture, falling into a deep sleep, with the same snoring sounds coming from his mouth from time to time.
The sleeping Danitz, the warning from Hidden Holy Emblem, the conversation with a strange woman... If she still doesn't understand what happened, then the two months of Nighthawks will be in vain.
Sitting on the wooden chair in the bedroom, Angel took out a "Dream Charm" carved with complex symbols and logos from his pocket, and read out its opening spell:
"Crimson!"
After a while, she came to the bedroom in the dream.
"Both of them are very strong. They can defeat 'Steel' Maviti in one minute, but they are also crazy and dangerous..."
Angel opened the door and returned to the living room. Danitz's somewhat excited words stopped abruptly.
He turned to look at his bedroom and "Angelica Zaki" who walked out of it, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
This is his dream!
No, it is normal for people you fear to appear in your dreams. This is generally called a nightmare... Danitz Strange thoughts came to his mind.
The beautiful lady next to him had long brown hair tied into an elegant braid at the back of her head. She was wearing a waist-cinching Beige Coat and a pair of brown leather boots under her knee-length skirt. Her light blue eyes curiously looked at the uninvited guest who had entered the Dream Invasion area.
"Angelica Zaki?"
She asked in a flat tone.
"Then you must be the 'Iceberg Admiral' Ms. Edwina Edwards that Danitz talks about every day?"
Angel nodded in acknowledgement, and then asked.
This can be roughly seen from Danitz's attitude towards her. The most important thing is that this lady and her "Golden Dream" have a bounty of 26,000 pounds. Their general appearance and patchwork portrait have already taken root in Angel's mind, allowing her to recognize each other at a glance.
"It's me."
"I don't worry about it every day..."
The two voices sounded at the same time, and Danitz's somewhat angry defense quickly stopped under the indifferent gaze of his captain.
"How did you enter the Dream Invasion realm?"
After taming the crew with his eyes, Edwina looked back at Angel and asked curiously.
"Perceive the traces of the dream, find the room where he is, and then only need one Charm." Angel downplayed the effect of "Hidden Holy Emblem" and simply explained, "What about you? Listen to Danitz said that your 'Golden Dream' is still thousands of miles away, so far away that he can only report to you through newspaper news. The ability of 'Nightmare' cannot affect Bayam, right?"
"Another simple Ritual Magic."
Edwina answered in a similar tone to Angel. He stepped on the carpet with his leather boots and came to Angel. He looked at her in silence for a while, and a smile suddenly broke out on his face.
"Thank you for saving Danitz and avenging my crew. You will gain the friendship of 'Golden Dream' and me."
She said sincerely, bending down slightly to salute, leaving Danitz behind her stunned.
Seeing Pirate Admiral suddenly lowering her attitude, Angel was a little surprised. In her mind, she was wavering between "reasonable Angel" and "pirate hunter Angelica", and finally chose the latter:
"We also got what we needed."
Her tone was calm, as if "Steel" Maviti and his men were just a small problem that could be easily solved.
Of course, this is also true.
"But... it would be better if you could answer a few questions for me."
Looking at Pirate Admiral, who Danitz said was "erudite" in front of him, Angel changed the topic and said.
"Of course, I will tell you everything I know, but have you ever gone to college, or do you have extensive knowledge of mysticism?"
I went to a church university in my previous life, but can this be said... Angel could hardly hold back the indifferent expression on his face, and after a moment he replied in a deep voice:
"Something involved."
"That's good. I will answer the question based on your knowledge level so that you can easily understand it."
So I haven't gone to college and I'm not proficient in occult knowledge. Are you going to use the method of teaching children to deal with me?
Taking a deep breath, Angel used the power in the dream to manifest the complex runes he saw in Bansy Harbor and used them to create "Calamity" Charm today, and displayed them in front of Edwina.
This rune was not any text or image she had ever seen, but it was arranged in an orderly manner, symmetrical to the left and right, and completely different from top to bottom. The lines at the bottom were sharp and angular, regular and beautiful, but the complex lines at the top were like a heavy rain that was about to destroy it.
Without Beyonder's memory and her usual experience of memorizing Roselle's Diary, she would hardly be able to store this abstract picture in her mind.
"Have you seen this rune?"
"No," Edwina's quick answer made Angel feel a little sad, but then the other party continued, "But I can make a little analysis based on its composition. Its shape is like a correspondence between two extreme powers. It does not contain any components of God's holy symbol, and there is no prayer content in the corresponding field. The symbols inside seem to depict the coming changes and pure destruction. Where did you see it?"
Change and destruction... is similar to Mr. Azik's explanation, but slightly different. It may be a contradictory interpretation because the Sequence is in a different place... Angel nodded and replied:
"Bansy Harbor."
"I see..." Edwina seemed to have some realization, "Danitz told me what happened that night. It seems that Bansy's blockade by Church of Storms's fleet is related to this."
Blockade? I don't know. The corruption and betrayal of a bishop should not cause them to mobilize troops. It seems that the power and secrets hidden by Bansy Island have made them feel troublesome. Fortunately, we have left there...
Angel secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask:
"The second question is, will 'Admiral of Blood' Senior come to Bayam to take revenge for the death of 'Steel'?"
"After a big battle broke out between him and the fleet of 'Vice Admiral Dusk', he disappeared in the waters near Sonia Island. No one has been able to find them so far. If you are worried about his revenge, I can..."
"We are not worried about being retaliated by him, but we are worried about..."
The answer to Edwina was not Angel, but a low, crazy voice coming from behind her.
"... worried that the bounty on his head will be taken away by others."
Under the gaze of three people, Gehrman Sparrow, wearing a black windbreaker and a top hat with a crazy expression, walked out of the bedroom.
