"Midway Island? Why do you want to go there?"
In the small room on the second floor of the "Sea Water and Flame" bar, Dominic, known as "Lucky Nick", frowned and asked Angel in front of him.
After the strange incident of "Radio Telegraph" last night, the latter asked about Danitz, who continued to monitor radio signals, but the pirate, whose net worth had soared to 4,800 pounds, was unexpectedly ignorant. He only knew that such an island existed, but when asked about the specific address and the situation on the island, his eyes darkened.
Angel had no choice but to find Dominic, the information dealer, and tried to ask for some information about the small island.
"A small island? It's not that small there. Between the North Continent in the south, apart from Blue Mountain Island where Bayam is located, and Pasu Island where the Church of Storms altar is located, it is the largest island."
Dominic sneered, took a sip of the locally produced coffee, and then continued:
"The routes from the Loen Kingdom, and even North Continent to other countries to the Southern Continent Balam, almost all pass through Midway Island. It is located exactly in the middle of the two continents, so it got such a name. The port above undertakes the supply, docking and repair work of all ships on the route. Although it is only a small port, it is very prosperous.
"Unfortunately, due to the influence of the Berserk Sea, the local climate is changeable. Except for the port, most areas of Midway Island are in an undeveloped state, not to mention the hundreds of unexplored islands around it. Those are the real 'small islands'."
On the map of the Rhoside Islands and nearby waters on the table, I circled the position representing Midway Island, and then drew countless ink dots next to Star. Then Dominic breathed a sigh of relief and put down the pen.
"So, what on earth are you going to do there?"
"Looking for ways to promote the next Sequence."
Angel replied perfunctorily. Seeing the other person's eyes widen in surprise, she knew that this information dealer must have heard about some of Demoness's Sequences, and there was a high probability that he had guessed his own Sequences wrongly.
But compared to revealing the secret of pursuing Sequence 4 Potion material, this misunderstanding is nothing.
Fortunately, through a brief conversation with Dominic, she understood the basic situation of Midway Island. As long as she got there by boat, she could find clues about "Gazer" at the local port...
"Why don't you wait until I arrive at Sequence 5 and go together? You should know how dangerous the creatures that can be used as Sequence 4 Potion materials are, right?"
Unfortunately, the plan in his mind was rejected by Klein before it was even completed.
"Because of the acting problem."
She replied softly to avoid being heard by Danitz, who had been monitoring the radio next door and hadn't even left the house recently.
——Of course, his soaring "worth" is also one of the reasons. During the few times he went out, Danitz always felt that the eyes around him that glanced at him unintentionally contained a desire for Gold Pound. Even wigs and hoods could not give him more security.
In Bayam, Klein can continue to play the role of Faceless, but her "Affliction" Potion, Except for feeling some signs of digestion when persecuting "Fire Flame" Danitz, there was almost no more progress, which made Angel feel that he was about to be caught up by the opponent, making him feel more and more anxious.
And according to what Arrodes said, apart from entering the mysterious and dangerous Spirit World to look for the unknown Gazer, there are only clues about them near Midway Island. Even if you don't go now, you will have to face this matter sooner or later.
Instead of waiting for the Potion of Sequence 5 to be digested before looking for the Potion material for promotion, it is better to make plans in advance. After all, being able to get a Main Materials means saving tens of thousands of pounds.
After explaining everything, Klein's expression became a little loose, but he still frowned and sat on the sofa thinking for a long time before slowly nodding his head.
"Go and come back quickly. If you have anything, please contact us via messenger 'Wensa'. Also, remember your promise and don't put yourself at risk."
He made three chapters in a serious tone, and it wasn't until Angel nodded solemnly that he breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, when are you going to Midway Island? Why don't you wait for the Mystical Item of 'Faceless' to be finished before setting off?"
The fact that Angel commissioned "The Fool's Believer" to make Mystical Item was not hidden from Klein, and Hanged Man promised that it could be completed within a week, so Klein asked in confusion.
"I will use 'Madness Ring' to change my face first to avoid being caught as a wanted criminal worth two Danitz... well, it's only worth one and a half now," Angel himself couldn't help laughing. "The ship from Bayam to Midway Island only leaves in three days. I plan to take the ship out of here on Thursday, January 6th."
She took out the inconspicuous ring from her pocket and said.
"Are you sure you won't suffer any negative effects?"
Klein asked with a smile on his lips. He remembered that Angel had been trying to sell this Mystical Item recently.
"After being promoted to Sequence 5, I have better control over this aspect. There is no problem in using the ring for a short period of time..."
Although he said this, Angel still came forward and sat next to Klein.
"What, do you need me to help you deal with the negative effects in advance?"
Klein looked serious, cleared his throat, and spoke in a calm tone.
"I..."
Bang——
The door to the living room was pushed open, and Danitz, who ran all the way from another suite, poked his head in:
"The ticker responded, it's 'Admiral of Blood'..."
His excited voice stopped abruptly, and he swallowed as he looked at the two pairs of eyes in the room staring at him.
Early on the morning of January 6, Angel arrived at Bayam's Docklands with a suitcase containing a change of clothes, weapons and ammunition, and various Charm materials.
Just like when she first came here, the pier was docked with Passenger Ship that had just arrived or were preparing to leave the port. After the New Year, many foreign tourists were preparing to return to their own countries, so the place was very lively.
Behind her was Klein who looked like "Gehrman". The latter had a dull face and tried hard to play his identity, but his eyes were full of reluctance.
"Let Danitz over there see it, and your performance will fail."
Angel said softly, put down the suitcase, opened his arms, and hugged Klein.
"He didn't dare to look."
Klein pursed her lips, and it took her a long time to say such words that almost made Angel laugh. She looked into the distance, and Danitz in disguise was hiding furtively in the alley, and she really didn't look this way.
The day before yesterday, after the pirate broke into the tenderness of Angel and Klein, he was verbally abused by the two. Although in the end he did not go any further because he had indeed monitored the information of "Admiral of Blood", he still made another request to "Iceberg Admiral" for another contact person.
Unfortunately, "Admiral of Blood" mentioned in Radio Communication that he would be near Bayam later this month, and the cooperation between the two parties to hunt Senior needs to be put on the agenda. Therefore, his request was ruthlessly rejected by Edwina, and he had to continue to stay in Bayam aggrievedly.
"If there is any news about Admiral of Blood, tell me in time and I will return immediately."
Lifting the luggage again, Angel said softly.
"If there is no news, I will return as soon as possible."
Seeing Klein's strange expression, she added with a smile, and then followed the long queue and began to board Passenger Ship heading for Midway Island.
Until she stepped onto the gangway and looked back, Klein was still standing there, looking at her blankly from under the brim of his hat.
"Blue Mountain Rose" is a complete steam ship. It was equipped with the latest steam engine from the beginning of the design. It is not equipped with sails like other ships in this transitional period. Therefore, the appearance looks quite streamlined, which is much better than the White Agate that Angel has ridden on.
But when she got on the deck, she discovered that this ship, which was used for both passengers and cargo, was far inferior to the White Agate. Various boxes were piled randomly on the deck. Some of the noisy crowds were saying goodbye to their families below, and some were casually leaning against the boxes to chat. They seemed to be in no rush to return to their cabins.
For those who have finally collected the shipping fare and dream of making a fortune by taking the Midway Island to the Southern Continent, the open-air deck may be more spacious and comfortable than the cramped third-class cabin below.
After sighing and mentally preparing for the next three days of the voyage, Angel carried the suitcase and walked to his first-class cabin.
A notice board is hung on the deck near the door of the forward cabin like other ships. The top is covered with wanted posters for various pirates and fugitives, making it easier for the crew to identify key criminals among the passengers, and also encouraging reports among passengers.
When passing by, Angel quickly found her own wanted poster among the wanted posters. After more than ten days of wind and rain, the paper with her appearance and bounty printed on it had turned yellow. Such wanted posters without portraits were not taken seriously because almost no one could recognize the corresponding target on the street. Therefore, other wanted posters had been pasted above her, blocking most of the content.
"'Flame' Danitz... life or death, 4800 pounds..."
Among the passengers standing nearby, someone read the contents of the wanted poster posted at the top, and then laughed in a low voice:
"Hey, wasn't this 'Fire Flame' only worth 3,000 pounds a few days ago? Why did the price increase?"
He pointed to the old wanted poster that had not yet been torn off in the corner.
Angel slowed down and listened carefully.
"I heard that he designed Bayam to deceive 'Steel' Maviti and a bunch of his men, and killed them all."
"Where did you hear that?"
another passenger asked curiously.
"The newspaper refused to publish it, but I inquired from my friend. There were more than ten corpses at the scene, most of which were burned. It must have been done by this guy. Of course, it is said that there was a powerful Bounty Hunter who helped him, but this man was hidden and no one has seen it, so most of the 'credit' goes to Danitz."
"Then this guy has become a famous the Great Pirate!"
A sound of admiration filled with envy and jealousy sounded out.
Hearing that Klein had not yet been wanted for this matter, Angel secretly smiled, relaxed and prepared to leave.
"The Great Pirate, just him? "The passenger who just had "a friend" continued to sneer, "It's only 4,800 pounds, not even five figures... Just yesterday, the flagship 'Black Death' of 'Vice Admiral of Ailment' appeared near Bayam. It is said that the army was worried about the other party approaching the city, and dispatched several warships. I don't know if there was a fight.
"That 'Vice Admiral of Ailment' Tracy, Loen alone, has a reward of 25,000 pounds!"
