When the sun was shining brightly, "White Agate" finally docked at the dock of Bayam. Klein, who had been waiting on the deck for a long time, had no time to say hello to the "just" Aierlan who met again, so he got off the ship along the newly lowered gangway, walked along the plank road, and came to the port.
He looked at the waiting area for hired carriages and found that the few carriages had been hired by the last batch of guests arriving at the port, so he did not wait in line there, but walked along the main road towards the city.
Instead of spending half an hour waiting for the carriage, it is better to walk directly back to "Azure Wind"... Calculating the shortest route, Klein passed by the notice board next to the port. Out of the "Adventurer" habit, he glanced at the various wanted orders and notices posted above, taking in the various Pirate Kings, generals and vicious pirates underneath, and remembering them in his heart.
Wait, is that Angel?
He retracted his steps, turned to look at the top of the notice board, and found a new wanted poster posted between several Pirate Admirals, with Angel's pseudonym Angelica Zaki written on it, and the latest reward amount.
23,000 pounds.
When I left Tiana Island, she still had 18,000 pounds, which meant that the amount had only been updated in the past few days and had not had time to be transmitted from Bayam to other islands... Klein frowned, approached the notice board, and looked at the content of the wanted order.
"Killing wanted pirates on the street... will this also increase the reward amount?"
After a little thought, Klein understood the reason.
The wanted orders for various pirates and Adventurer are not simply issued based on the damage they caused and the degree of ferocity. For example, although "Gehrman Sparrow" also killed Eloquent Speaker and other well-known pirates on the street, he did not receive the reward amount and was only "notified" in the newspaper.
However, if there is already a bounty target, it will be revalued with a new bounty amount because various actions have improved her "strength level". Even if Angel kills a wanted pirate on the street, it will increase her threat in the eyes of Church of Storms and the colonial government, and her worth will increase accordingly.
"But she doesn't usually behave like this. Even if she encounters a pirate with an attractive reward, she will disguise herself before taking action..."
Klein murmured, tearing off the wanted poster, crumpling it into a ball, and throwing it into the corner. A ball of flame appeared out of thin air and burned it to ashes.
Then, he found the direction of "Azure Wind" and continued moving forward, secretly speeding up his steps.
After inserting the key, twisting it to the right, and then putting his hand on the doorknob, Klein felt a little nervous.
He took a deep breath, pressed the doorknob, pushed open the door, and entered the suite on the top floor of "Azure Wind". He quickly glanced around and saw Angel sitting on the sofa sorting things on the balcony of the living room.
After his eyes stayed on her peaceful face for a moment, Klein breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the living room.
"I'm back."
He said softly and put down the suitcase.
Angel did not get up immediately, but carefully placed the engraving tools in his hands in the tool box, closed the box, and then raised his head to look at Klein.
This reaction, which was no different from usual, made Klein feel relieved a little bit.
But Spirituality's inexplicable vigilance became stronger and stronger.
"You... nothing happened to Bayam last week, right?"
He asked proactively.
Because many of my speculations can only be made from the perspective of "Fool", and as a "world" I don't understand, so Klein can only ask vague questions and test them.
"Sold 'Fruit of the Hypnotic Wind Chime Tree' to Miss Justice. Three days ago, I met a wanted pirate on the road and earned a reward of 1,500 pounds."
Angel showed a familiar smile, satisfied with the addition of Gold Pound in his pocket.
"In addition, I also tried to find clues about the Demoness Sect's human trafficking, and tracked 'Mad Captain' Connors Victor who was trading slaves. But during the tracking process, I encountered the other party's counterattack, and finally the Mandated Punisherss intervened, Connors Before his contact person at Bayam had time to leave, a Demigod who was probably 'Black Emperor' Pathway silenced them. After burning the cargo ship, he was driven away by Church of Storms Saint, and the clue was lost."
She continued, but there wasn't much regret on her face.
Burning ships, slaves... Klein remembered the beach in the divination screen, and it matched what Angel described.
Klein felt a little relieved when he heard that the other party did not hide his experience during this period except for 'Adam' who could not be mentioned in reality.
"It doesn't matter. This is not something that can be solved quickly. Maybe we can report the information we know to Church of Storms and let them investigate further. I think the channel of 'Hanged Man' is very good."
He replied smoothly, lifted the suitcase, went to the bedroom, opened the door and entered, but was surprised to find that the bedroom was very tidy, and almost all Angel's clothes were stored in the suitcase.
She was going out when I first came back?
Somewhat curious and a little worried, Klein quickly put away his luggage and returned to the living room. As expected, he saw Angel standing up and holding a toolbox and was about to walk over.
"You..."
"Did you forget something important?"
As soon as he asked the question, he was interrupted by Angel's rhetorical question. Klein was stunned, his thoughts were racing, but he couldn't remember what he had forgotten.
If he answered perfunctorily, something bad would happen to him... He was shocked to realize that this was a "proposition". He was speechless and did not dare to speak for a while.
"Oh, today is your birthday, Klein."
Angel Seeing his serious look and tense body, he chuckled and took the initiative to reveal the answer.
Birthday... my birthday?
Klein was stunned.
My body, no, the body of Klein Moretti was born on March 4, 1327. Today is March 4, 1350, and I happen to be 23 years old...
More than half a year after he came to this world, he was in a tense life almost every day, as if he was being chased by someone, and he had no time to take care of these trivial matters. Most of the memories inherited in my brain were fragments. Although there was a memory of spending my birthday in the company of Benson and Melissa, I couldn't recall it for a while.
And now that "Klein Moretti" has faked his death, only Angel and Azik know that he is still alive. At this moment, the only people in front of him who can congratulate him on his birthday are probably the only ones in front of him.
Thinking of this, Klein put away his doubts, showed a smile on his lips, and replied softly:
"Thank you."
"I haven't finished speaking yet..." Angel muttered, taking two steps closer, "I helped you book a ship to the east of the Sonia Sea in April as a gift to you... That ship is' Admiral of Stars's Future, she is Tarot Club's 'Hermit' lady. When she makes time, I will let her contact you."
"I originally wanted to prepare some more creative gifts, but..."
She did not continue.
It turns out that she had a separate discussion with "Hermit" on Tarot Club...
Klein felt his eyes were a little sore. He didn't expect that it was a birthday gift prepared for him. He just thought that Angel had seen through the other party's identity, so he helped him negotiate future commissions.
Wait, if that's the case...
"You, won't you accompany me then?"
As if thinking of something, Klein asked, the smile on his face gradually fading away.
"There is a Pirate Admiral, or Pirate Admiral who is a disciple of Mr. 'Fool', to protect you. I believe there will be no problem on this journey," Angel slowly shook his head and said, "In order not to affect your promotion, I will not accompany you."
After saying that, she took two steps closer again, almost touching Klein.
The latter's thinking was a little stagnant for a moment, and he did not understand the meaning of Angel's words. He just watched blankly as she came forward and kissed her face gently, which she had not had time to clean because she was in a hurry.
She won't accompany me?
Watching Angel pursed his lips with satisfaction, put the tool box back in the bedroom, walked to the living room door, and Door Opening walked out.
The back figure slowly disappeared in Klein's eyes, and the door was blown by the wind and closed gently.
Click.
This soft sound seemed to activate the almost stagnant thinking in his mind.
On Tarot Club a week ago, her confusion and fear...
I met High Sequence Beyonder of "Spectator", "King of Angel" Adam...
Help me arrange a "birthday gift", but I don't plan to go with you...
Prepare to sell the "fake" ring to save cash...
Regardless of hiding his identity, he kills pirates to get the reward...
The bounty was further increased, even reaching the level of Pirate Admiral...
She, she is ready to leave?
No, it's preparation...
The next second, bright yellow flames burst out from the hem of Klein's windbreaker, covering his body.
Then, he disappeared from the living room.
"Bang——"
There was a soft sound, and the flame of the gas lamp in front of Angel surged, and a figure emerged from it.
Angel, who was about to go down the stairs, narrowed his pupils and subconsciously acted on guard, but relaxed after seeing the person clearly.
"You..."
She forced a smile and spoke.
The face of Klein in front of her was gloomy. She stretched her hands forward, directly pressed Angel's shoulders, and pushed her to the corridor wall.
"What happened during the ten days I left?
"Learned to kill wanted criminals on the street?
"The bounty has been increased, I'm very happy, huh?
"What kind of birthday gift do you want me to go alone?"
With each question, the strength in his hands continued to increase, squeezing Angel's slightly thin shoulders tightly.
As if stunned, Angel just shrank his neck without resisting, and the smile on his face became unnatural.
"I, I didn't..."
She murmured, her pupils dilating due to surprise, as if she recognized the man in front of her again.
"No? nothing?"
Klein interrupted her defense and asked:
"I didn't plan to arrange anything secretly without saying a word, I didn't hide my little thoughts, and secretly increase my 'worth'..."
"Still not ready to give up everything and leave me alone?"
Isn't it too earthy? (Annoyed)
