The plan to forge the identity was formulated by Klein. The two designed it carefully and ensured that it would not be traced to the maritime identity with a total value of nearly 150,000 pounds.
"My primary target is "Antigonus Family Notebook" stored inside Saint Samuel Cathedral. According to the regulations of Nighthawks, it must be locked deep in Chanis Gate, protected by a whole team of Nighthawks and several Internal Watcher, and has multiple pieces of Sealed Artifact to resist external invasion."
Sitting in a cafe on the outskirts of Conot, Klein was writing on paper while introducing his plan to Angel in a low voice.
Both of them used Faceless's ability to change into ordinary Loen southern faces, which made Angel a little uncomfortable. She stared at the blond man opposite, always feeling that he looked a bit like the Anderson Hood who deserved a beating.
Klein didn't notice her gaze, but continued to describe his plan.
According to the plan, he will seek development as a mysterious rich man from Desi County to Backlund, trying to get in touch with the middle and upper class power of Backlund, and get close to Church of Evernight.
In this way, he could collect intelligence, and while continuing to investigate the Great Smog incident, he could find an opportunity to invade the church of Church of Evernight, enter Chanis Gate, steal Antigonus Notebook, and look for the formula of Sequence 4 Potion.
Of course, such an identity will inevitably be subject to certain scrutiny when contacting the upper levels. He has also done a good job of disguise to cope with the scrutiny of different intensities. Even if the last level of identity is revealed, he is just an ordinary Beyonder with a criminal record, not the "former Nighthawks" Klein, or "Mad Adventurer" Gehrman.
"At least until Ince is found and solved, I cannot expose my identity, otherwise it will inevitably arouse the other party's alert. A Demigod who can monitor and rewrite the surrounding 'stories', once he is determined to escape, no one can catch him..."
Klein's hand holding the pen paused for a moment and explained.
"Is this the reason why you helped me arrange a triple identity?"
Angel also remembered the tragedy of Tingen City and what happened to Backlund Great Smog. He was silent for a long time before asking.
Under the arrangement of the other party, she will return to Loen and Backlund as a young single woman who has lived in Intis for a long time.
The advantage of this status is that she can naturally get close to the middle and upper class circles of Backlund. She is single, beautiful, and wealthy. If she has two of the three adjectives, she will be wildly sought after by Backlund Rich Merchant and the lower class aristocrats. What's more, she has all three.
"Do gold, me?"
Hearing Klein's "arrangement", Angel couldn't help laughing.
The Gold Pound she is currently wearing is worth more than 10,000 pounds after receiving the payment from Hanged Man, but it did not last long and fell back to 9,500 pounds after helping Helene advance part of the repair money. This money is enough for her to live a prosperous middle-class life, but in Backlund I am afraid it cannot be called "rich".
What's more, I still owe Messenger Miss ten thousand gold coins. If each of us pays half of it, my assets will be reduced again... She thought with some distress.
Although those Beyonder Characteristic and Mystical Item can be sold for a lot of money, they have to go back to Backlund to have a chance to sell, and most Beyonder parties cannot accept transactions of this level.
"You are already richer than me, and I will pretend to be a rich man, try to get close to your beautiful single Miss, and finally reach cooperation in a reasonable way."
Klein ignored Angel's complaints and made many strokes on the manuscript paper, circling him with Angel and Backlund.
"Similarly, once you come into contact with real aristocrats and military personnel in the middle and upper classes, you will face various investigations of identity and background. Just relying on a purchased identity certificate is untenable. You need a second 'personality', a Beyonder who seizes money through less legal means, comes to Backlund to launder his name, and prepares to live a high-class life."
This is a very reasonable "setting". Once Orthodox Church is scrutinized, Angel Beyonder's identity will almost certainly be exposed, which makes the source of her wealth appear less legitimate, so it must be rationalized in a way that investigators can accept and imagine.
This is also the reason why Angel wants to return to Backlund as an Loen person who has "lived in Intis for a long time". There are constant frictions between the two countries. It is almost impossible to cooperate between Evernight, Storm's official Beyonder and the military. Follow-up investigations are difficult, which leaves room for forgery.
Of course, this is not without loopholes. If Church of Steam's "Machinery Hivemind" leads the review, they may ask colleagues at Intis to help, and the second forged identity will be exposed quickly, which requires the last identity to be concealed.
"... A Female Witch who was persecuted by the Demoness Sect, escaped from Intis, and came to the Backlund that Demoness Sect had just cleaned to survive?"
Although he thought that the last identity needed to be a little unexpected in order to satisfy the inquiring official Beyonder, Angel still opened his eyes wide and was surprised when he heard Klein's plan.
"This can satisfy the 'Machinery Hivemind' who pursues Intis to dig deeper into your experience to the greatest extent. This identity also gives you the opportunity to join them and serve as an informant. As long as they ask for help from you, the wealth from unknown sources and various forged identities will not be a big problem.
"Furthermore, I don't think there is a chance to use this identity. Church of the God of Steam and Machinery mainly preaches to teachers and scholars with certain professional knowledge, emerging factory owners and low-level workers. It basically does not involve nobles and the military. Even if they are suspicious of your identity, it will be difficult for them to intervene in the investigation."
As expected of the senior "Faceless", he even thought about the investigator's reaction in advance... Angel curled his lips and secretly glanced at the part of the information that belonged to him in front of Klein, but was covered by the other party and put into a document bag.
"... Ahem, I haven't decided yet. You will know my identity when you return to Backlund."
Klein explained hesitantly.
Based on the different identity designs of the two people, they will return to Backlund in batches in different ways, and then establish their apparent identities.
Klein will set off today, taking the steam train through Southville County and East Taker County, directly to Backlund, and carry out activities with a new identity.
Angel will go west across the entire Desi County, enter the neighboring country Masik, return to the Loen Kingdom with a new identity, and then go to Backlund.
This is the most important step in "whitewashing" the identity, and is the basis for the first disguised identity. Therefore, the two have to leave various traces in person to cope with the scrutiny that will inevitably come, instead of just relying on money to buy fake identities.
Even before the "official meeting", the two people do not know each other's name and appearance, so as to create a real "first encounter" atmosphere.
I always felt that he was hiding something... Angel stared at the sealed document bag, hummed slightly dissatisfied, and let Klein go for the time being.
Desi County is close to the western border of the Loen Kingdom. Angel took the steam train from Conot early in the morning, crossed the border in the evening, and entered the small country Masik sandwiched between Feynapotter and Loen.
Angel, who passed through the land border for the first time, found that the border inspection here was extremely easy. She didn't go into details about her fake identity. She just looked at the ticket and identity documents and let it go. It was completely different from the rumored borders of Loen and Intis, where conflicts were constant.
Of course, this is related to the fact that Masik has always been a small neutral country that has had both sides since it became independent from Feynapotter 600 years ago. Compared with the tensions between several major countries, this place can be said to be like a holy land.
After settling in the border town Essen, Angel immediately acquired a new identity and left some inconspicuous clues according to the plan, but could not withstand careful investigation, such as from Intis passes through Lenburg, Feynapotter, detours Central Plateau and comes to the ticket stub of Masik, such as witnesses when staying or shopping locally.
This is not difficult with the help of Demigod level divination and Instigation.
During this period, she reused the "hypocrisy" ring to make subtle adjustments to her appearance, changing her hair color to Loen's common black, her cheeks slightly wider, and her eyes a little bigger than before. This adjustment was in conjunction with "Affliction" and "Despair" Potion's body changes can make her look completely different from the Tingen period, and she is only three to four points similar to "Angelica Zaki".
The most important thing is that these changes can be disguised through changes in wigs and facial muscles even without using the abilities of "Faceless", allowing Angel to have a long-term image that does not rely on "hypocrisy" rings and avoid the negative problems that may arise from wearing this ring for a long time.
This is a bloody lesson for "Madness Ring"... She looked at her in front of the mirror for a moment, quite satisfied with her disguise.
In this way, we only need to start from Masik tomorrow and return all the way to Backlund...
She put away her identity documents, various clothes, weapons, and magical items into categories, making herself look more like a traveler who had come all the way from Intis. Then she looked at the crimson moonlight outside the hotel window, imagining what Klein, who had already embarked on the journey, was doing at the moment.
By the way... I still have important things to do!
Angel quickly withdrew his gaze, arranged Wall of Spirituality in the hotel bedroom to isolate it from possible prying eyes, then sat at the desk and played the harmonica that he had never had a chance to use since it was made.
This lavender harmonica emits silent fluctuations, automatically issuing a summons through the ritual solidified on it.
After a moment, a bunch of black emerged from the spiritual world in Angel's sight, and the curled-up black cat Wensa rolled onto the table. Blue eyes appeared on the surface of the dark fur and looked at her.
I always feel like it's showing weakness. Is it because I haven't summoned it for too long because I'm worried about its position?
Angel chuckled, then quickly straightened his face and said seriously:
"I have been promoted to 'Despair', and it's time to have a good talk with you about 'Demoness Sect' and your past."
