In order to avoid the "Red Haired Woman" being implicated, Angel and Klein did not follow them into the dock, but came to the city behind the port, where they prepared to repair, change their identities, and leave the ocean that was no longer safe.

Although Damir Harbor's wanted order has not yet been updated, Angel can guess that his "worth" will definitely increase a lot after this battle. Gehrman Sparrow, who was only on the watch list before, will inevitably be labeled as a "valuable item".

In addition, both of them had completed their staged promotions and had no reason to stay at sea, so running away immediately became the only option.

"Isn't something going to happen to Helene and her team?"

Standing on the balcony of the upper room of the hotel, Klein looked at the dock in the distance and asked in a low voice. From here you can see where the almost scrapped sailboat is docked. Passing Sailor and passengers all looked at it with ridicule or pity.

"There will definitely be a round of review. Although the ship is registered in her name, and I did not use my own name when I funded it, there are people from the military and Church of Storms in Sailor. It won't be long before Mandated Punishers and the military come to visit.

"But Anne has put a ban on them. Mandated Punishers can trace me at most, but will not find traces of Anne. That is a real Angel. Without enough confidence, they should not mess around..."

Angel replied, she was sitting at the table, placing the pieces of today's "trophies" on the table.

Driven by "betrayal", she left Zatwin, and she picked up the "Marauder" Pathway gloves, Zatwin's Beyonder Characteristic, Beyonder Characteristic of the "Good Luck" pistol that was scrapped after firing "Dissolving Ray", and a silver-white scale next to the "remnants" of the firearm.

In the end, this strange item made Angel silent. She slowly brushed the smooth scales, which were only the size of fingernails, with her fingers, guessing its origin and function.

This is not an item belonging to Zatwin, but left behind by "Good Luck".

In the morning battle, she used this revolver to open the hammer five times in a row and poured Spirituality into it, trying to bet on the 1/5 probability and strengthen the attack to 16 times.

All five times were successful.

"The probability is only about one in 3,000. Even if the luck I usually accumulate works on the first shot, the probability that all the remaining four shots will be strengthened is too low..."

After a little calculation, she came up with this terrifyingly low probability.

There is no doubt that this strange scale played a positive role in the battle.

Not only that, her opponent, the 'Rose School' Demigod, was also astonishingly unlucky. His Mystical Item failed to steal Angel's important abilities, and betrayed him at the critical moment, allowing Angel to steal his 'Mirror Flash', losing all hope of escape.

"It sounds a bit like the effect of this Luck coin, but the effect is much stronger. If Senior can exert a similar effect to Luck, I can't seriously injure him at all and lock him in Book World to die."

After listening to Angel's doubts, Klein fiddled with the ancient coins obtained from Senior and analyzed:

"This necklace with coins hanging from it comes from Sequence 5'Winner' of Monster Pathway. It is one Sequence higher than the 'Good Luck' revolver. It can make the wearer Luck and even avoid fatal attacks. It can also make his opponent unlucky and prone to failure due to minor problems.

"What you encountered in today's battle seems to be a manifestation of its effect being magnified many times... I suspect that this scale is also derived from the 'monster' Pathway, and is a manifestation of some kind of power, just like Anne's Blood liquid, or Copper Whistle of Mr. Azik... Is it a bit like a snake's scales?"

At the end of Klein's words, he suddenly froze. He looked at Angel sitting opposite, who also looked at him with the same eyes.

Both of them thought of a noun: Snake of Fate.

This is the name of the Sequence 1 of the "monster" Pathway. It is the Sequence of the Will Auceptin who once helped the two of them. It is the incarnation of fate!

With this clue, Angel quickly thought of another legendary King of Angel, "Angel of fate" Ouroboros.

He is also known as "Ouroboros". In the murals Mr. "Sun" has seen, the authority of "destiny" is also reflected.

Moreover, Anderson Hood once encountered the constant Misfortune just because he saw the mural of King of Angel, and was almost annihilated by God War Ruins.

The most important thing is that Angel has seen this name with her own eyes. After Sona Island went to "Forsaken Land of the Gods" through Sacrificial Ritual, she saw the mercury-colored title and name of Ouroboros on an altar...

But I asked Mr. Fool afterwards and got the reply that Ouroboros did not leave a mark on me... No, He did not leave a mark on me, but He left a mark on my weapon and the "Good Luck" revolver, which ultimately played a key role in today's battle?

Angel was stunned.

After listening to her story, "Fool" Klein was also a little shocked.

He did give the answer of "no mark left" based on "Gray Fog" and his own identity in that space, but Angel, or all "Tarot Club" members would not carry anything except clothing when entering Gray Fog, which naturally includes the "Good Luck" revolver.

When the two of them were exploring "The Travels of Grosell" at Grey Fog Space, Angel was not wearing weapons.

This allowed the revolver, which was likely to be imprinted by "Angel of fate", to successfully avoid the "antivirus" of Gray Fog, and was not even detected by his own incompetent "Fool"...

Is this also some degree of "fate"?

He decided to find an opportunity to ask Will Auceptin, also known as "Snake of Fate", to see if this scale and these "gifts" of fate had any side effects on Angel.

Fortunately, Angel did not dwell too much on this matter. After she handed the scales to Klein, she began to calculate the profits from this battle in order to pay off the debt of 10,000 gold coins to the headless messenger Reinette as soon as possible.

Soon, the two were pleasantly surprised to find that even after deducting the gold coins they had to give Reinette, they were still making a lot of money from the battle.

Just for the palm-sized Sequence 4 "puppet" Beyonder Characteristic, which looks a bit like a flesh and blood doll, the price is difficult to calculate. According to Sequence 6 to Sequence 5 Calculating the price increase of and Beyonder Characteristic, the price of Sequence 4 and Beyonder Characteristic will not be less than 30,000 pounds, and they will definitely be hard to find.

The "Marauder" Pathway glove also had the same value. Judging from the use effect of Angel, she judged that this glove was probably formed from Sequence 4's Beyonder Characteristic, but she didn't know the specific name of Sequence.

It allows the user to obtain Beyonder Ability called "stealing", which can steal the target's "ability", "idea", and even some conceptual things, such as "distance", "location", etc., thereby achieving incredible effects in battle.

The stolen idea can only last for a moment, but the "ability" can last for about 2 hours. Correspondingly, the owner's ability will disappear for up to 12 hours. The length of time is related to the Sequence gap between the two parties at the time of "Stealing".

As a side effect of Mystical Item, when wearing this glove, every time you use the ability, you may lose something on your body, giving priority to Mystical Item.

No wonder Zatwin is wearing such a Mystical Item. Even if he has more, this glove will be lost after using it several times. If it were not for the Good Luck given by "Angel of fate", I'm afraid I have lost something in the previous battle... Angel sighed and decided to put the gloves away carefully. It is best to seal Wall of Spirituality to prevent all other Mystical Item from leaving him.

In addition, the recovery of the "Calamity Priest" properties extracted from the "Good Luck" revolver can recover most of the losses caused by the explosion of the revolver. This battle against "Rose School" Demigod, except for the 10,000 pounds given to Reinette and the favors consumed by Anne, is almost all income and no losses!

"But the biggest loss is actually the identity we have been operating for nearly half a year..." Klein has a different view, "Now there is no doubt that the two of us have been on Church of Storms's wanted order, and they are the highest priority ones. At this point, we can only change our identities and temporarily return to the North Continent to avoid the limelight, and..."

Moreover, the way out for him to be promoted to Demigod is not at sea, but at the North Continent and Backlund.

According to his inquiries about "Arrodes", Mr. Azik and Will Auceptin, and based on the conclusions from several responses, the Potion formula of Sequence 4 "Trick Sorcerer" has three sources:

The treasures left behind by Zarathus of Secret Order, Antigonus Family of the Hornacis Mountain Range, or recovered by the church, are likely to be located in the "Antigonus Family Notebook" after Saint Samuel Cathedral Chanis Gate.

The former is the already crazy "Seer" High Sequence Beyonder, powerful and dangerous. The latter two options both point to the Antigonus Family, making Klein lament the uncertainty of fate.

The original "Klein Moretti" committed suicide because of Antigonus Family Notebook, which led to his time travel. Therefore, he joined Nighthawks and encountered the arrangements of 0-08. He also tracked 0-08 and Ince Zangwill to Backlund, and came to the sea for promotion...

Everything seems to be related to this family that was destroyed by Church of Evernight.

To understand all this, it is necessary to return to Backlund, and it is not just a short stay, but a long-term exploration, and a new identity that is reasonable, legal, and not connected to the previous self!

He looked at Angel who was looking at the various items on the table and happily thinking about the future. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly found that the entire living room had turned into various color blocks like the colors of an oil painting.

He immediately looked up and was not surprised to find Mr. Azik in a tuxedo and top hat walking out from Spirit World and sitting on the sofa beside them.
