"In this sea area, whenever there is an alternation between noon and midnight, there is a possibility of violent storms," explained Cattleya, who was wearing a black robe and thick glasses on the bridge of his nose. "The biggest wind and waves can easily break the ship, so it is best to wait in a safe place for Storm to pass."
At this time, Angel was standing on the side of the ship in the middle section of "Future", looking at the approaching island. It was different from the previously floating scorched earth island. It had many trees that could be seen from the "outside world" growing on it, and it had a natural haven surrounded by mountains on three sides.
When "Future" cautiously sailed into it, the dark clouds in the sky had formed into pieces, completely blocking the all-pervasive sunlight and turning the originally blue sea into leaden gray.
Boom, boom.
Flashes of lightning flashed, followed by a low, continuous roar, followed by raindrops. After docking the ship, most of the pirates returned to the cabin to escape the heavy rain, and Angel followed Cattleya off the deck.
When she entered the cabin, she looked back and saw a hurricane as thick as a wall that seemed to connect heaven and earth, carrying waves and sweeping toward the island.
If it had not docked at a safe haven, but stayed on the sea just now, I am afraid that this hurricane could send "Future" into the sky with just one encounter...
She thought with fear, and returned to her cabin, listening to the dense raindrops outside the window hitting the side of the ship like bullets, the seamless thunder that was distant and near, and the huge waves caused by the passage of the hurricane lifted "Future" up, and then fell to the sea.
Fortunately, although the storm was big, it did not last long. After ten minutes, the Apocalypse-like scene quickly receded and returned to the midday sunshine. Angel returned to the outside of the cabin and found that the sudden high temperature had burned the water-filled deck to the point of burning the feet, and the steaming water vapor made it difficult to breathe.
"You can go to the island for a while, but don't go too far. We will start again in half an hour."
Cattleya ordered, then came to the bow of the ship, summoned the "Starlight Bridge" that picked up Angel on the ship, and set it directly on the beach not far away.
After receiving permission to disembark, the pirates followed the starlight to the beach like a joyful party, stepping on the soft sand and enjoying the long-lost solidity of Earth Mother.
Angel also followed Cattleya to the ground, tested the sea water at the beach, and found that they were no different from the outside world.
If classified according to "divine power", the storm just now was probably the power of "Storm"... But these islands, seawater and beaches are all real. The remaining divine power of the divine war only changes the environment intermittently and in turns, but it does not completely turn this sea area into an area similar to Spirit World?
She was thinking, and suddenly she felt someone approaching from behind. When she looked back, she saw it was Klein.
The latter had soaked the only formal suit he carried in the storm just now, so he had to change into spare clothes. Now he was wearing a crew-neck shirt, wide-leg trousers, and a peaked cap, like an indigenous resident of the Rhoside Islands.
"I see the joke in your eyes. You can laugh without worry. They are all far away and can't hear... Pfft..."
Klein tried his best to look serious, but the clothes he wore significantly affected his performance of "Mad Adventurer", and soon he couldn't hold back his laughter.
"As expected, you are more suitable for formal wear... Strange, is this a stereotype?"
Angel didn't think this costume was ridiculous at first, but he quickly put a smile on his face under the influence of the other party.
"This shows that Loen's Gentlemen spirit has penetrated deeply into my bones..."
He took off the peaked cap on his head like a top hat, put it on his chest and saluted. Klein changed the subject and asked in a low voice:
"Emperor Roselle's daughter?"
He was asking about something that Angel had just answered vaguely on the ship. The latter nodded and looked in the direction of "Future" and found that Cattleya was looking far away at the sea on the other side, observing the ruins over there without paying attention to the two of them, so he nodded and said:
"She is also 'Queen Mystic' and is currently on 'Future'..."
Klein's brown eyes widened in surprise.
He must have thought of the other party's bounty. Alas, my first reaction was the same...Angel cursed and continued:
"Moreover, she asked me not to tell Cattleya about this. I suspect that the separation of 'Queen Mystic' and 'Admiral of Stars' is just a superficial cover-up. There may still be a connection between them."
With "Queen Mystic" staying on Future and Cattleya not paying attention to the gap, Angel quickly told Klein what happened in the dream.
"Creator took back power from the God War... No wonder this sea area is extremely dangerous. 'Arrodes' warned me that it is between illusion and reality. It is the relic of the God War. It turns out that there are various divine powers The confusion caused all kinds of Strange Phenomenon... But why are there still rumors of 'True Creator'? He is not the God of Second Epoch..."
Klein murmured, and quickly gave up understanding all this, because there were too few clues, and not everything "Queen Mystic" said was correct.
But Emperor Roselle's daughter Bernadette knew that "Fool" could read the diary, which still made him frown.
As "Fool", being targeted by High Sequence is no longer painful for him. Bernadette is estimated to be ranked behind "True Creator", "Amon" and other God or King of Angel, and belongs to the category that can't even eat exhaust gas.
But the other party has contact with "Hermit" Cattleya, and it is very likely that she will use this to test her. I have to find an opportunity to hit her... Klein thought about it and quickly relaxed his brows.
The top priority is to improve Sequence, gain more control over Gray Fog, and truly turn yourself into a powerful "Fool" who does not need to fear the prying eyes of others.
But after sailing on God War Ruins for most of the day, he didn't even see a mermaid's scales... He became distressed again.
Klein's changeable expression made Angel couldn't help but laugh, as if he had returned to Tingen City and met the newcomer Nighthawks who was interested in all mystical knowledge.
She was about to say something funny when she suddenly noticed a black spot appeared on the hill in the distance. It quickly went down the hillside and approached the beach, and soon turned into a running figure.
"Enemy attack!"
She immediately warned, and at the same time took out the "Good Luck" revolver, stepping on the sand and approaching "Future" and the other pirates.
These pirates obey orders and operate near the beach. People who come from far away must not belong to "Future"!
When Angel, Klein and "Admiral of Stars" met, the figure became clearly visible. He was wearing a white shirt, a black vest and black trousers. He had blond hair and blue eyes and a young appearance. From a distance, he looked like a hotel waiter.
"Anderson?" Klein murmured.
"Do you know him?" Angel asked in a low voice.
"I saw him in a dream. He was chopping wood with an ax next to the weird mural. He also said that all his Expedition Teams were wiped out here and they all became monsters. He was the only one alive. It was very weird!"
Explaining quickly, Klein took out a handful of Charm from the pocket of the jacket outside his crew-neck shirt, picked up a few at random, and chanted:
"Storm!"
Ancient Hermes activated the Charm in his hand, and Wind Blade shot out from his fingertips, accurately flying towards Blonde Man Anderson.
Anderson, who was running wildly with his legs, let out a strange scream and rolled to the side. His original position was hit by Wind Blade, and sand flew all over the sky.
"Don't attack, I don't mean any harm, I'm a living person!"
He got up from the ground, danced and shouted.
"That's what mutated people say," Klein didn't believe it at all, and picked up a few more "Storm" Charm, "Tie him up and I'll use lightning."
He said the last sentence to Angel beside him.
At this moment, Cattleya, who had been standing behind him, took off his thick glasses and stared at Anderson, said:
"Anderson Hood, that Strongest Hunter? Don't attack yet!"
She raised her head and shouted to "Future". The pirates left behind on the deck had already aimed their cannons at this Blonde Man. They only waited for an order to blast him into Beyonder Characteristic. After hearing the captain's instructions, they temporarily stopped their actions.
After getting a chance to breathe, "Strongest Hunter" Anderson Hood slowly approached, raising his hands to show that he was not a threat, and then told how he was trapped on the island.
It turned out that a week ago, he was joined by a team of Treasure Hunter Persuasion who claimed to have figured out the safe channels in this sea area. They sailed to God War Ruins by boat to explore the safe islands and ruins.
At first, these Treasure Hunter were very Luck. The information they obtained was quite accurate. They avoided dangerous islands and hunted many real monsters that could extract Beyonder Characteristic and even carry Mystical Item. They gained a lot.
But everything changes as they step into a strange temple half submerged in the sea.
"We saw a strange mural depicting a pilgrimage procession moving forward in the separated waters. Their leader was a Silver-haired Angel... I was a little curious and used my fingers to outline the lines of the mural in the air. Then, the Angel opened his eyes and glanced at me!"
Could it be that the silver-haired Angel on the mural is...
Angel thought of a King of Angel who was located in a certain ruins in Forsaken Land of the Gods described by Mr. "Sun" on Tarot Club.
"'Ouroboros'Ouroboros."
Klein whispered that he had learned about this knowledge as a "world", and in his dream, he saw the related murals, so he directly told the answer.
The other two people had different reactions. "Hermit" silently repeated King of Angel's name thoughtfully, while Anderson looked confused, not pretending.
Who makes you not a member of "Tarot Club"... Angel thought with some pride, urging the other party to continue telling his unfortunate experience.
"No abnormalities appeared after Angel on the mural, which made everyone think it was an illusion. One-third of the people thought that they should continue to explore, but they disappeared after entering the temple. After waiting long enough, we gave up on them and prepared to return as promised."
Anderson spoke calmly, not feeling uneasy at all about abandoning some of his companions.
Of course, this is usually the case for temporary adventure groups. Except for the most familiar companions, they are all disposable objects.
"After leaving the temple, the rest of us soon found ourselves becoming unlucky, tripping over ropes on the deck, getting stuck in nails, drinking and being peed on... and being able to explore things with greater clarity as we drifted into our midnight dreams.
"This actually harmed them. The other third organized a dream exploration, and they never appeared again, while the physical bodies in reality turned into bloodthirsty monsters after Evernight ended, killing most of Sailor and the team members.
"In the end, because we couldn't sail out of this sea area, our ship was destroyed by Storm. I luckily escaped to this island and tried to save myself... Well, if you had come one day later, I'm afraid I would have died of hunger and thirst here."
It should be said that he was Luck unlucky. His teeth were choked when he drank cold water along the way, but he Luck lived to the end, and when he said "Future"... Angel cursed in his belly.
Since he had no criminal record, was not on the bounty list, and had a pretty good reputation, "Strongest Hunter" soon reached an agreement with Cattleya. He would leave this sea area on "Future". As a "ticket", he would give half of the proceeds from previous explorations to the other party.
The original employers of "Future", Angel and Klein, can obtain the mermaid position provided by him and complete the main purpose of this trip.
After reaching an agreement, "Future" recalled the pirates walking on the beach and set sail again. Evernight will enter here every three to four hours, and then have to find a safe haven. The faster you act, the less risk you can reduce.
"Beautiful Miss, hello, I am Anderson Hood, how should I call you?"
Stepping on the deck, with no fear of his life, the "Strongest Hunter" quickly turned into a playful smile. After asking about Klein's pseudonym, he turned to Angel, bowed his head and asked.
"Angelica Zaki."
Angel replied casually, taking a step back and staying away from this unlucky Hunter to avoid being affected by his bad luck.
"Angelica? That bounty... the Angelica with so much bounty?"
Anderson exclaimed, then lowered his voice and gestured with his hands, making a gesture of twenty-three thousand pounds.
"Yes, you can try it."
Angel pressed the revolver at his waist and sneered.
"I'm just sighing, I have absolutely no other meaning! I was wrong!"
Looking at Gehrman, Angelica, and even the pirates passing by him gave them cold looks, Strongest Hunter quickly stopped and waved his hands to apologize.
But his eyes stayed on the revolver hanging on Angel's slender waist.
"Wait a minute, this revolver... isn't it the weapon I ordered at Backlund?"
His eyes widened, and he pointed at the "Good Luck" revolver of Angel and said.
"I bought this for £3,300."
Holding his precious pistol tightly with his right hand, Angel denied the other party's words without hesitation.
At the same time, she recalled what Artisan Kavi said in her mind.
It turns out that the person who ordered weapons, but was swept away by the waves because Passenger Ship had an accident, was Anderson Hood... Is he really "Strongest Hunter" and not "the unluckiest Hunter"?
I'm afraid his luck didn't get worse just because he met "Ouroboros" Ouroboros!
Angel almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Knowing that he was being unreasonable, Anderson quickly gave up the "Good Luck" revolver that he had not obtained. Moreover, with his current level of unlucky, once he took this weapon that would bring bad luck, he would probably choke to death if he took a sip of cold water. Even if Angel gave him the weapon, he would not dare to take it.
After the brief farce on the deck ended, "Future" quickly left the safe haven. Under the guidance of Anderson, it bypassed several Vortexs and "Unlucky Ruins" with Ouroboros murals, and continued along the safe channel.
Soon, another "Evernight" dispersed the sunlight and descended on God War Ruins. Angel returned to his room, lay on the bed, and fell asleep through meditation.
Tick tock, tick tock.
The sound of water drops reached Angel's ears. She opened her eyes suddenly and found that she had not returned to the library in her last dream, but appeared in a dark and damp basement.
Standing up quickly, Angel observed this room without any light with the help of Dark Vision.
She immediately spotted the full-length mirror hanging on a windowless wall.
A full-length mirror for a place like this...
With a thought in his mind, Angel immediately ducked and moved sideways, avoiding the front range of the full-length mirror.
In this weird dream, being able to connect to the mirror of Spirit World is probably not a good sign.
After waiting quietly for a moment, she breathed a sigh of relief when she found that the full-length mirror showed no response and no strange creatures crawled out.
Get out of this room quickly...
Thinking like this, Angel turned around.
In front of her, on the other wall, the same full-length mirror was facing this direction.
In the dark mirror, Angel, with his blond hair tied back, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a waist-cinching jacket and black leather boots, had a cold smile on his face.
The next second, she stepped out of the mirror, the sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed was heard, and the sharp Bone Blade drew strong wind and struck Angel on the head.
