"Dear Ms. Lola Swann, or should I call you, Lola Pelle?
"It's been more than a month since I've been away. I hope you haven't forgotten me, Irene Watson, who worked with you. This time I write this letter, I have three things I want to ask you.
"First of all, after Great Smog, 'Demoness Sect' should have temporarily withdrawn from Backlund. I want to know the situation there, and whether you are still investigating the inside story of their cooperation with Aurora Order and the royal family?
"Secondly, what is the current situation of the Sherman I handed you? Are you ready to be promoted to 'Instigator'? If his progress is too behind due to my restrictions on him, I hope you can teach him the way to quickly master the power of Potion - it is limited to a certain oath, and I cannot teach it myself.
"I think you can guess the last question: You seem to have a relatively close relationship with 'Unaging' Demoness Katerina Pelle, 'Vice Admiral of Ailment' Tracy. If it's convenient, can you tell me the reason why you concealed this? And, whose side are you on?
"... The above is the summoning spell for my messenger, and I look forward to your reply."
Putting down his pen, Angel looked at the candles shaking in the waves, paused for a moment, skillfully built a simple altar, and used a spell to summon his messenger, Ms. Wensa.
Maybe this adventure is over, and the plan to make props to solidify the spell will be put on the agenda. It is too troublesome to use the altar to summon every time... Feeling the slight shaking of the cabin, looking at the black cat emerging from Spirit World and landing lightly on the table, Angel thought to himself.
"I didn't expect you to own a Ghost Ship built by Fourth Epoch. Next time, remember to let it not block my entry."
Ms. Wensa, who always picks up letters and leaves when sending them, spoke in a rare voice. His voice still couldn't be distinguished from male to female, but there was a hint of surprise.
Prevent you from entering? But I see that you jumped into the cabin quite easily... Angel smiled awkwardly and replied:
"I am just a guest of this ship and have no authority to command it."
I didn't even know that this ship was built in the last era. Doesn't that mean that "Blue Avenger" has a history of more than a thousand years and is an authentic antique... She muttered, and her desire to own a Ghost Ship increased.
"Hmph, it doesn't matter, it probably won't dare to stop me next time. "The black cat glanced at the letter on the table, and looked at Angel with his blue eyes, "Who is the letter addressed to this time?"
"Can you find someone who only has a name and no address? Well, maybe the names are all fake..." Angel suddenly thought that he didn't know the specific address of Lola, only the location of the safe house where the two met several times. "Or, you can send it to another person who has contact with the target and ask him to convey it on your behalf."
"Unless I have seen it, you must provide an address and a real name." Wensa shook his tail, and Angel actually saw a trace of disdain on its face, "Who are you going to send it to? How come you don't even know the name?"
"Backlund's 'Pleasure' Demoness, her name is Lola Swann, she should use a fake name, at least the last name is fake."
Angel answered honestly, mentally prepared to ask the courier to send the letter to Sherman, who has a fixed address, and have him deliver it to Luo Fell short, but this would run the risk of the letter being opened and checked. I wonder if Sherman can still remain loyal after learning that his old and new bosses are working against "Demoness Sect".
"Backlund's 'Pleasure' Demoness... I know, I should be able to find it."
The unexpected answer stunned Angel. She was silent for a moment and asked:
"I haven't seen him before and I don't have an address. Are you sure you won't find the wrong person?"
"Spirit World's divination is very effective."
Black Cat Wensa The beard on the mouth almost reaches the sky, as if showing off proudly, and the same goes for the tail.
It picked up the envelope on the table, jumped out of the porthole, and with the cabin shaking again, got into Spirit World and disappeared.
Spirit World's divination? But didn't Lola say that she no longer used Magic Mirror to communicate with Spirit World in order to prevent being found? Of course, thinking about it now, she might be guarding against her mother Katarina, but how could Wensa find her through divination?
Thinking about it, Angel looked at the dim sea outside the porthole, and Storm, who was gradually being left behind as Alger said, and estimated that it was time for dinner.
"Wensa can actually tell that this Ghost Ship was built during the Fourth Epoch period... Couldn't it also be a person from that era... No, a cat from that era, right?"
She murmured, feeling a little empty in her stomach, and stood up and came to the door, ready to go to the restaurant above for dinner.
"Blue Avenger" can operate on its own under the command of the captain. It does not require a large number of manpower to work in turns. It only carries the necessary Sailor. It is not even equipped with a dedicated chef. Instead, it is driven by these Storm Believer who have been living at sea for a long time. Although the ingredients are fresh and the variety is rich, the finished product has a rough feeling originating from the sea and Church of Storms. After just one meal at noon, Angel began to miss Bayam's delicious food.
Of course, complaints are complaints, and you still have to eat.
She opened the door and was surprised to find "Hanged Man" Alger wearing a priest's robe and a funny boat-shaped hat standing at the door. He raised his hand like a fist and was about to knock on the door.
"What's the matter?"
"There was some movement here just now, I came over to take a look."
When he was reminded by Ghost Ship that there was a problem in the guest room below, Alger was about to sound the alarm and put the entire ship into combat mode. Especially when he found out that the alarm was in the room where "Empress" Angel was located, and then remembered the tragic situation of the two pirate warships that had "died" in her hands, and he broke into a cold sweat behind his back.
Trying his best to keep his expression unchanged, he looked into the room and was relieved to see that the room was intact and was not at risk of being turned into pieces.
Carrying this "Ship Breaker" Miss, I was really stressed... Alger took a deep breath and once again doubted whether asking this member of Tarot Club to help was the right choice.
"I summoned the courier just now and sent a letter."
Angel honestly admitted that she guessed that the power that Wensa said before to "prevent it from entering" came from this Ghost Ship, and as the captain, Alger must be able to sense it. Lying will only create a gap between the two.
Messenger? Spirit World Creature? But my "Blue Avenger" will block the unknown Spirit Body and Wraith from entering, and the messenger should not be able to get in... Alger is still full of doubts, but he rationally chooses not to ask further, and decides to return to the captain's room and raise the ship's defense to the highest level to avoid accidents!
Even if "Empress" and that Gehrman are both believers of Mr. Fool and deserve a certain degree of trust, he does not want any setbacks in the process of obtaining key promotion materials.
Watching the worried Alger leave, Angel knocked on the door next door and called out Klein, and the two came to the restaurant on the upper deck together.
The person on duty for dinner was the thin and slim Sailor. Compared to the pickled fish and bacon at lunch, there were finally a few more dishes that looked good.
The two quickly finished their dinner consisting of mushroom soup, ham sandwich and Fish Fillet. They looked at the sea by the porthole and felt that the speed of Ghost Ship was much higher than that of other ships. Klein suddenly lowered his voice and said:
"In the afternoon I felt the prying eyes of the ship, but it didn't seem to be malicious."
A spy on "Ghost Ship"? Is it from Captain Hanged Man?
Angel subconsciously looked around the restaurant. In addition to pretending to be busy on the deck when entering and leaving the port, the Sailors on this ship did not need to pull ropes or manipulate the sails in the cold wind like the Sailors on other ships. Therefore, after dinner, they all returned to their cabins to play cards or sleep. There was almost no one else in the restaurant except the temporary chef.
"After I summoned the courier to send the letter in the afternoon, the captain quickly discovered that this ship must have some kind of living quality and will monitor all possible threats inside."
She analyzed, and then told Klein what Wensa said about "blocking" and the speculation about the ship's manufacturing age.
"Since it's just the reaction of the ship itself, there's no need to worry about it. The captain already knows our biggest secret - Mr. Fool. For the rest, well, I'm afraid it's better to sleep in separate rooms these days..."
Klein whispered, as if he was plotting something, which attracted frequent glances from Sailor, who was temporarily serving as the chef in the distance.
But he was a little anxious in his heart. Compared with the calm and composed Angel, he had far more secrets than just "The Fool's Believer". He himself was both "Fool" and "the world"!
This journey lasts for ten days, during which Tarot Club must be held.
If Hanged Man discovers it, I'm afraid I won't be able to pretend to be a false god anymore...
Backlund, Empress Borough, in a luxurious villa.
With her black curly hair draped casually over her shoulders and wearing a silk robe, Lola, who was lying on the bed without any image, was writing on the letter paper with a romance novel.
"Demon Throat Honey's heart...Dark Stalker's poison sac..."
She copied the "Instigator" Potion formula in her memory on paper and prepared to give it to her "assassin" Sherman tomorrow.
Of course, she was not prepared to provide Potion materials, which was also part of the test. Since the other party chose to take another path that was not part of the traditional "Demoness Sect" method and did not accumulate merit through killing in exchange for Potion, then everything should be done by herself.
After writing the formula, he threw the letter on the bedside. Lola yawned and left the warm bed. He was about to call the maid to prepare hot water for bathing when he suddenly felt something. He tapped the tip of his nose to open Spirit Vision and looked at his bedside table.
There lay a black cat over half a meter long, holding an envelope in its mouth, and its blue eyes made Lola startled.
The black cat gracefully jumped on her pillow, spat out the envelope, glanced at the formula of "Instigator" with his round eyes, flicked his tail, turned around and jumped into the air and disappeared.
"Messenger? Its eyes..."
Lola, who also had blue eyes, stood stunned for a while before coming to the bedside and picking up the envelope.
Being cautious, she did not open it immediately. Instead, she asked Black Flame to burn it from top to bottom. After eliminating possible traps and tracking methods, she took out the letter and read it carefully.
"Katerina Pelle...Tress... Did Irene go on an adventure at sea after leaving Backlund?"
Looking at the aggressive question at the end, she smiled faintly, came to the full-length mirror in the bedroom, and touched the delicate skin on her face. Mirror Person sneered, her face became blurred, and then a silver-white mask appeared in her hand and was removed from her face.
Behind the mask is an almost identical face, but there are subtle differences in facial features and expression.
Now, she looks almost exactly the same as "Unaging" Demoness Katarina.
