"When I write this letter, the steam train has passed through the southern plain of Intis and is about to enter the city wall of Trier. I really hope I have the opportunity to let you see the beautiful scenery here.
"Due to the time difference between the two places, the local time is six o'clock in the evening, Backlund should be close to midnight. I didn't want to disturb you, but I encountered something.
"In the car, I met 'Magician' Miss. Her real identity is 'Apprentice' Pathway Beyonder, whom I originally came into contact with when I was Irene Watson. Although I didn't have a close relationship with her, I still got close to her and learned the reason why she came to Trier.
"She is actually the agent who published "The Great Adventurer Series" and "The Great Pirate Series". She has earned thousands of pounds from this business, and she is planning to sell the books to Intis!
"Do you think we should ask her and the real author, Sailor Chief William of 'Red Haired Woman' to collect a part of the 'copyright fee'?
"Waiting for your answer, I will keep an eye on her at Trier."
After reading the letter sent by Messenger Miss, I felt the resentment that Angel wanted to convey to him immediately even if he spent a gold coin. Klein couldn't help but laugh after being written into the book as "Mad Adventurer".
He didn't expect that the other party had just taken a long trip and caught another Tarot Club member on the way before he even reached his destination.
As "Fool", Klein certainly knew the true identity of "Magician" Miss, whom he took the initiative to drag into Gray Fog, but he did not expect that a best-selling author Author would dare to publish a novel involving so many Pirate Admiral.
Maybe it was because she thought it was not a big problem if she was just a publishing agent... Thinking of her other identity, "Gehrman Sparrow" not only became the protagonist of a best-selling book, but was also worth a lot of money, Klein felt a little itchy.
Of course, this is not just the "copyright fee" issue mentioned by Angel. Expanding the influence of that identity appropriately will be beneficial to his future performances and switching between different identities. Even at critical moments, this Mad Adventurer can be exposed to the spotlight and hide other identities in the shadows.
For Angel, the same is true for the identity of the Demigod pirate "Angelica".
"There is no need to prevent subsequent novels from being published, you can even encourage them... but the content must be slightly modified. At least the stories of Gehrman and 'Vice Admiral Dusk' and 'Hell Admiral' are a little too scary. And the copyright fee can also be collected. Next week, no, next week's Tarot Club, you can cooperate with Angel, beat and beat 'Magician' Miss, and let her spit out part of the profits... There is no need to go too far, after all, she has nothing wrong.
"As for the real author, the William of Monster Pathway, I finally know why I kept feeling spied on on 'Red Haired Woman'. He should have been planning to write me into the novel at that time... But when the 'monster' saw me with Gray Fog on me, it was very easy to fall into madness. How did he avoid it?"
After thinking for a moment, Klein decided to reply to Angel tomorrow to discuss how to get some Gold Pound out of "Magician" Fors. But tonight, he had more important things to do.
A moment later, Klein appeared in the bathroom of his bedroom, already dressed in a windbreaker and a top hat, ready to go.
He took out Paper Figurine from his pocket and shook it into Dwayne Dantès sitting on the toilet holding a book as if in a daze. He adjusted his height, age and face shape to become Five Seas, Gehrman Sparrow who had "affairs" with many Pirate Admiral. His left glove became transparent and he quickly activated "Teleportation".
In a few breaths, Klein came to Backlund Bridge across the Tussock River through Spirit World, dodged the guards on the bridge, and stood in the shadow of the bridge tower.
When a faint bell sounded from Harvest Church in the distance, green pea vines suddenly appeared above his head. They grew without roots and intertwined into a dense forest. Among them was an upward staircase, spiraling around invisible pillars, leading to the dark night sky.
The first time I saw this kind of vine and that person half a year ago, I could only run away. I didn't expect that now I have an opportunity to have an equal conversation. Although, it was with the Intimidation power of "Fool"... Klein chuckled secretly, climbed up the stairs, and soon reached an altitude many times higher than the towering bridge tower.
Amidst the gusts of wind, he came to the hanging garden woven with green vines and saw the hanging basket-like seats and the women on the chairs.
She was wearing a Intis-style white shirt with a lace collar, black slim-fitting pants, black leather boots, and a thin sword hanging from her waist. Her long chestnut hair was swaying in the wind, and her blue eyes were looking into the distance as if they were out of focus.
She is one of Pirate King, the eldest daughter of Emperor Roselle, "Queen Mystic" Bernadette, who is nearly 200 years old.
When Klein stood still on the vine platform, she turned around, her eyes stayed on the outsider who disturbed the tranquility of the garden, and said in a somewhat ethereal voice:
"Thank you for me for the person behind you. Also, thank you for your companion. She helped me find Anne, which gave me new hope in what I am pursuing."
Thank you "Fool" for those diaries that "Hermit" handed over and asked for answers? Queen Anne's Revenge's return, what kind of help did "Queen Mystic" get?
Klein thought for a moment and roughly grasped what the two have in common: Emperor Roselle.
He answered in Gehrman's low tone with a hint of madness:
"I will convey it, but now she has gone to Trier to pursue the truth of 'Mirror Person'."
"Mirror Person is not something she can touch now... Before he fell into madness in his later years, he tried to solve the Mirror Person problem of Trier and tried to use that power to achieve some purpose, but I guess, he failed in the end, so he set his sights on the top of Sequence..."
"He" should refer to Roselle... Unexpectedly, before the emperor attacked God's Throne in his later years and tried to switch to "Black Emperor", he also had his mind set on "Mirror Person", and with the strength of his Sequence 1, there was nothing he could do?
This was not mentioned at all in his diary!
Klein was a little shocked. Before he could ask further questions, "Queen Mystic" stood up from the gondola seat and faced him and said:
"Let's get back to the topic, what do you want from me this time?"
She seemed to know that the conversation just now was just an "appetizer" and not the main topic... Klein guessed that the other party was unwilling to go into the previous topic, so she had to summon "Wraith" Senior, letting this Pirate Admiral stand between the two like a waiter.
"I hope you can help, let him be in a state that has been corroded by Church of Evernight Chanis Gate's seal for a long time, and be able to sneak into it quietly."
With expectations for Sequence 4, Klein said.
After sending the letter, Angel removed Wall of Spirituality, and the sharp braking sound of the steam train suddenly reached her ears.
Walking out of the bathroom, outside the window of the private room, the original fields and woods have been replaced by low houses. As the steel behemoth dragged the white mist into a doorway in the high wall, the capital of Intis, the bustling urban area of Trier, came into view.
Unlike Backlund, they actually erected a high wall surrounding the entire city. In a world with heavy artillery and Beyonder, what is the use of a city wall?
With this doubt, Angel waited for the train to pull into the platform, packed his luggage, left his box, and knocked on the door of "Magician" Fors's room three doors away.
After a while, a tired-looking Fors opened the door. She was also carrying a suitcase, wearing the Intis-style dress, with a round hat tilted on her head, revealing a hint of cuteness in her laziness.
"Let's go."
Angel said briefly.
She now has some doubts about whether "Magician", who is usually silent on Tarot Club, secretly fell asleep under the cover of Gray Fog.
"Okay," Fors, who stayed up late the night before to revise the manuscript, nodded, "It's strange that the two of us, Beyonder, rode the steam train for two and a half days without any accidents. I was even prepared to face a murder case."
You read a lot of mystery novels, no, write a lot... Remembering that the other party is the best-selling book Author, Angel resisted the urge to complain and answered with a smile.
If there was a murder, she, a master of divination, would be able to tell who the murderer was at a glance, and the motives behind it would be clear, leaving no room for mystery novelists.
The two got off the train, and with the help of the first-class priority lane, they left the platform earlier than the crowds and stepped onto the lively streets.
The surrounding passengers quickly left in the waiting private carriages or hired carriages. Several people in ragged clothes and holding palm-sized paper bags came forward. Intisian, who spoke with an accent, was selling something to them, making Angel and Fors look at each other in confusion.
"You too, is this your first time at Trier?"
Fors obviously took a step back, leaving Angel to face the promoters alone, and asked in Loenese.
"Actually, it's my second time, but the last time I didn't take the train."
Angel answered.
Last time I got out of Underground Catacombs, and finally returned to Underground Catacombs... She added in her heart.
"Huh, I'm going to stay at District 8's hotel. That's the administrative center of Trier and the heart of the entire Intis. Most of the newspapers and publishing houses are there... what about you?"
After scanning the street blankly twice, Fors made a decision and asked "Miss Irene" by the way.
Before integrating into the current identity of "Miss Theresa", Angel gained some knowledge about Intis, so he answered without hesitation:
"The person I want to contact lives in this district."
The area of Suhite Steam Train Station where they are currently located is District 13, also known as Honest People Market District. It is almost the largest among the 20 districts in Trier. It includes stations, markets, slums and many commercial streets. It is a mixed bag of people and chaos.
If it weren't for the informant Archbishop Anthony gave her living here, she would not be willing to stay too long in District 13.
Obviously thinking about the environment here, Fors showed a trace of hesitation on his face and said after a moment:
"Then let's say goodbye. If you need help, you can go to District 8 to find me. I live in..."
At this point, she remembered that she hadn't decided which hotel to stay in.
"It's okay, have you forgotten? My name is 'Seer'. If I need to find you, I can always come to you."
Angel chuckled lightly, carrying his luggage, avoiding the salesmen who had changed their targets, and walked towards the nearby hired carriage.
The fortune-telling expert... Fors was silent, and after a moment he also got on a carriage, gave the address of a publishing house, and watched the street scene outside the window speed from slow to fast, speeding backwards.
She planned to deliver the important manuscripts to underground booksellers before it was completely dark, so as not to be caught red-handed by "The World" or "Empress" during the long nights.
At least they got Beyonder Characteristic of Mr. X, and it is very likely that they already have the ability of "Teleportation"... She pursed her lips, opened her suitcase, and took out a document bag that was a full third thicker than the manuscript she had on the train before. She took out the manuscript paper inside and checked it for the last time with the flickering street lights outside the window.
The title on the first draft paper reads:
"The Great Pirate Angelica series: Ghost Empire" (full version).
Do you want to tell Irene about the underground publication of the complete version? She is also a loyal fan of the series, but obviously has not seen this version... Fors thought about it, and finally gave up the idea with Spirituality's trembling.
She should be able to find a way to buy it herself soon. After all, the sales volume of the "complete edition" is three times that of the regular edition that can be officially published.
With a chuckle, Fors put away the manuscript and looked forward from the window. The center of Trier, Shady Avenue District, was close at hand. Her destination, the underground publishing house that published "Spirit Channeling" and other illegal magazines, was grandly opened there.
