"You want to leave the sea and go to the Southern Continent?"
Next to "Red Haired Woman", which was undergoing repairs in full swing, Helene, dressed in casual clothes, asked in surprise.
Wearing a hood to cover his more eye-catching appearance after promotion, Angel nodded slightly and replied:
"We have to avoid the limelight, and Church of Storms's power is not strong in the Southern Continent. Although the base camp of 'Rose School' is there, their search focus will definitely be on the Rhoside Islands, or even North Continent, and they will not expect us to go south."
In fact, this is completely Lies. Although Angel and Klein used fake names to buy tickets for Midway Island to West Baylun Berens Harbor, it was just a cover to attract the attention of the pursuers.
Of course, the purpose of deceiving Helene is to mislead subsequent tracking and provide cover for himself and Klein.
"After the ship is repaired, you will continue to carry out the smuggling trade as planned. For the purposes of surveillance and fishing, the military and the church will not impose too many restrictions on you, and may even provide some cooperation. You can properly disclose our itinerary, and then use their deliberate Indulgence to make more money and repay my debt."
Angel slowly told Helene her plan. She believed that under the questioning of the church and the military, her whereabouts would soon be leaked, so it was better to use this to free Helene from the impact of this incident.
Hearing this, Helene gave a bitter smile, and her camouflaged round face tilted towards "Red Haired Woman". Looking at the ship, which was dismantling the main mast and planning to completely renovate it, she silently calculated in her heart how long it would take to earn back the repair costs.
At the suggestion of Angel, she continued to wear Madness Ring instead of showing her true appearance.
Although she was Angel Persuasion ed for various reasons, the most important point was that she was still worried that she would be used as bait to attract targets who did not want to be arrested by the church or the military.
For example, Tracy...Angel smiled secretly and gave the other party a reason.
After explaining the contact code and other matters, Angel took out a piece of paper and handed it to Helene. The latter took it and opened it, and was surprised to find that it read Hunter Pathway Sequence 6, the "conspirator's" Potion formula.
"'Conspirator' Main Materials: Compound Eyes of the Hunting Black Spider, the brain of Man-faced Lion; Auxiliary Materials: one poison gland of Hunting Black Spider, 80 ml of blood of Man-faced Lion, 10 grams of amber powder, and two white oak fruits."
After obtaining the "Red Priest" brand, Angel finally got the formula. He did not need to spend a lot of money to buy it from Anderson Hood, and the other party also lost an opportunity to make a lot of money.
On the contrary, she can sell this formula again, and the target customer is "Blaze" Danitz who is seeking promotion to keep up with her captain. The latter seems to have also purchased the formula from "Strongest Hunter" Anderson, but Anderson disappeared after being separated from Klein. It is said that he went to complete the task assigned by a certain Demigod. Therefore, Danitz is still Sequence 7, almost surpassed by the young Helene.
Hum, the result of selling the formula to me without lowering the price is to lose two opportunities to trade... Angel thought bitterly and said:
"I have a copy of Compound Eyes of the Hunting Black Spider. Of course, this is not free. You can first look for Man-faced Lion, and then use Gold Pound to buy another part from me... or exchange it for completing the commission."
"Commission?"
"Monitor the movements of 'Vice Admiral of Ailment' Tracy, and the whereabouts of 'Demoness Sect' behind her."
Angel replied with a chuckle, successfully seeing Affliction, nostalgia and hesitation mixed expressions on Helene's face.
At this moment, Sailor Chief of Helene, "Lucky William" who was burly, young but had a rough face, came to the dock from the gangway, approached them, carefully avoided Klein who was waiting aside, and said to Angel:
"Miss Angelica, before you leave, you'd better go to the notice board at the pier and take a look. There is a lot of information about you and Mr. Sparrow."
He can indeed notice, or luckily avoid, the anomalies in Klein. I heard Klein say that there is a natural "monster" in Tingen City who becomes almost crazy when he looks directly at him... But let's go to the notice board. Is it about a reward?
Angel nodded clearly, said goodbye to the two of them, and left quickly with Klein.
They haven't changed their appearance yet. If they are really marked by a high reward, they may leave faster.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Helene sighed melancholy. She knew that she would probably have to rely on herself for a long time to come.
William beside her also relaxed slightly, which attracted Helene's attention.
"I just think that Gehrman Sparrow guy has finally left." William explained in a hoarse voice, "Otherwise, he might come to trouble me after my novel is published."
"Novel?"
Helene asked curiously, taking the stack of manuscript paper that Sailor Chief took out of his pocket, opened it with interest, and his eyes stayed on the handwritten title:
"The Great Adventurer Gehrman Series: Iceberg Admiral".
Until he left the dock, Klein felt two eyes lingering on his back from time to time.
"Strange, I still feel that the Sailor Chief hired by your Helene is inexplicably hostile to me."
Klein said softly, pressing down the top hat on his head to avoid being recognized by others.
"Maybe he is your admirer. The name of 'The Strongest Adventurer' has spread to many places... Come, let's see how much bounty they have set for you."
Angel As he spoke, he approached the notice board at the dock and quickly found the one with wet ink among the old and new wanted posters.
"It seems that Bayam rushed the report and asked them to print and post it overnight... 45,000 pounds, almost twice as much as me!"
Angel exclaimed in a low voice when he saw the freshly painted portrait that was only 30% or 40% similar to Klein but at least ten years older, and the bounty amount marked in red ink below.
The price is between "Hell Admiral" Ludwell and "Admiral of Blood" Senior. It is obvious that the military and the church have regarded Gehrman Sparrow as Pirate Admiral level Beyonder, and it is the most dangerous kind.
"No, you are twice as good as me."
Klein didn't care that he suddenly became a wanted criminal with a high bounty. His eyes stayed on the upper position of the notice board, where "Pirate King" belonged exclusively to "Pirate King", one of the few targets that everyone talked about but had no idea of earning a bounty.
Among the Pirate King and their deputies whose papers had not been changed for a long time and whose paper had turned yellow, a brand new wanted poster was fluttering slightly in the sea breeze.
"Angelica Zaki, reward 100,000 pounds."
"Huh?"
Angel made a single sound in confusion, and gradually looked up, seeing that he was surrounded by other Pirate King, and his image had initially approached his own. He even luxuriously used colors to outline the wanted poster's portrait with long pale blond hair and purple eyes.
Whoa, invisible threads wrapped around the wanted notice like lightning, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the sea behind.
Bansy Harbor.
The once busy port is now deserted. What was originally a transit port for major shipping routes has been marked as "unable to dock" on the nautical map. Except for a few bold pirates and idle Sailor who will come to take a look when they pass by to search for valuables left in the ruins, no one usually comes close.
All the buildings here collapsed, and thick black marks passed through the ruins, even going deep into the surrounding dense forests and nearby mountains, destroying everything along the way, causing trees to fall and landslides to occur.
Deep in the ruins, a figure appeared furtively. He was wearing a double-breasted black robe of a high priest. His dark golden hair was combed back. One pupil was dark blue and almost black, while the other was dull. His facial features were as three-dimensional as sculptures.
Crows or other birds were chirping all around, but they strangely did not come near this place. Even though they were walking through the ruins, searching for valuables, and dreaming of getting rich overnight, the sailors consciously avoided this place, as if they did not see this strangely dressed man.
Behind him, on the only intact wall among the collapsed ruins, a monster with an octopus head, armor, waves on his feet, and lightning was drawn with crude brush strokes. The trident in his hand was raised high, and there was a cloak made of bird feathers behind his back.
Judging from the direction in which the man in black robe left, this painting was obviously his handiwork, but his hands were empty, and the corner of the small metal box exposed in his pocket did not look like a container containing a paintbrush.
Looking at Bansy Harbor who was completely destroyed by Church of Storms, his dim eyes were suddenly filled with dense small blood vessels, moving left and right on their own, as if out of control.
"Oh, Lord of Storms."
His lips didn't open, but a frantic whisper came out.
Suddenly, the man in black robe looked northwest, in the direction of Damir Island.
"Strange, somewhat familiar, but... impossible."
His right hand reached into his robe stiffly and hesitantly, and took out a strange-looking playing card.
After a moment, the man frowned and put the cards back into place, staggered out of the ruins and disappeared.
Loen Kingdom Desi County, Conot in the city Red Sycamore Street.
Angel was hiding in the alley at the corner of the street, looking at House No. 67 opposite from under his hood.
She did not hide herself through invisibility, but stood in a position where it was not easy to be seen, but where passers-by could occasionally look at her.
The line of sight of passers-by allows her to perceive her own existence more clearly, rather than being invisible and seemingly disconnected from the entire world.
This realization became more and more obvious during the three-day voyage from Damir Harbor to Conot, which made Angel have some guesses about the performance and code of conduct after "Demigod".
"After being promoted, the appropriate acting method becomes more important. Is it inevitable after becoming Demigod, or is it my own particularity?"
She muttered, and finally waited until Klein's figure appeared from the door of the opposite house.
The moment the door closed, a suppressed cry came from the room.
Klein, holding the top hat, entered the alley. The face disguised as "Faceless" returned to its original state, with a somewhat sad expression.
He had just told his family about the death of "Nightmare" from "Creeping Hunger" who was devoured and Grazing.
That was a "Nighthawks" who died on a mission, a father, a Guardian.
This reminded the two of another "Nightmare".
After a while, Klein spoke:
"Let's go, let's return his Beyonder Characteristic to the church.
"Then, return to Backlund."
Angel nodded silently.
They had already started planning this trip before Damir Harbor set off, and this was the key part:
False identity.
