"Queen Mystic" Bernadette reminded me specifically?
Angel subconsciously wanted to look at the "Dawn", which had a gorgeous appearance and was designed from Intis's practical yet luxurious style. However, he forcibly stopped his movements and suppressed his curiosity.
The other party used a hidden messenger to send the letter, and the purpose must be to issue a warning without revealing her knowledge. If she looks up in the direction of "Queen Mystic" now, it will destroy this effort.
Therefore, Angel just handed this thin piece of letter paper to Anne on the side, and then asked:
"Has Bernadette mentioned this to you?"
Anne glanced at the content above and threw the letter away. The thin paper floated a few meters away in the sea breeze and was annihilated in a slightly deep light.
"She and I separated half a month ago. She went back to the North Continent, and I continue to look for...Roselle's tomb."
The emperor's tomb? Isn't it in the suburbs of Trier?
Angel immediately thought of the assassination that occurred at the White Maple Palace 150 years ago as described in history books, and the senior time traveler who was buried with national honors despite being extremely controversial after his death.
According to Anne, the mausoleum in the capital of Intis is fake. The emperor was not buried there, but was secretly buried on an isolated island overseas, in a mausoleum that has not been found yet?
Angel remembered all this and did not change the topic at this time. Instead, he frowned and said:
"Bernadette probably knew something in advance, so he secretly reminded me that there was an approaching conspiracy. Then why don't I just skip the appointment and just wait on the boat?"
At present, the strongest combat power of the Angel side is undoubtedly the "Queen Anne's Revenge" under its feet and its incarnation of Anne. Any plans and actions must seek her opinion, otherwise it will be meaningless.
"She is 'Clairvoyant'. She may have glimpsed some fragments related to you in her destiny, but since she did not directly stop you from going to 'The Black Emperor', it means that she does not know who started the conspiracy and where the danger came from. Perhaps you were warned and did not go to the appointment, which was the trigger for Catastrophe."
It sounds even better than "Seer"... Angel cursed and did a simple Magic Mirror Divination on his own, but as expected, he got nothing.
"So?"
she asked tentatively.
"I'll go with you," Anne replied calmly, "As long as I don't leave my body too far, I can exert most of my power, and none of the people or ships present can hurt you."
This is the Angel of Sequence 2, the confidence of "Balancer".
With her words, Angel also felt that she was full of confidence in her heart, and could face those kings of the sea who were Sequence higher than herself, and had rich backgrounds, and were likely to have all kinds of Mystical Item and help from their subordinates.
"Then how are we going to get there?"
After she calmed down, she thought of another question. The scene of herself carrying Anne's thin and thin body into Mirror World appeared in her mind. She felt that it was a bit illogical.
Anne glanced at Angel strangely, stretched out a hand, and took the initiative to hold her arm.
Ah, is she really waiting for me to take her into "Mirror World"?
Angel was stunned, and the clear voice of Anne came to his ears:
"You stay on the deck and don't move around."
Then, the gray clouds, diffuse fog, and blue-black seawater in her eyes became bright and extremely rich in color. The long bright red hair of Helene beside her was like a flame, and the solid deck beneath her feet disappeared without a trace.
She followed Anne into Spirit World.
I almost forgot, she is essentially a Ghost Ship capable of Spirit World Shuttle... Angel just sighed, separated from Spirit World, and stepped on the flat wooden deck again.
But the scene around him has changed from the messy but empty "Queen Anne's Revenge" before to a busy deck that is equally dark but orderly and full of pirates.
There were horse lanterns hanging on the sides of the ship on both sides, swaying in the sea breeze, and slightly inward were huge cannons with their muzzles facing outward. The neatly arranged appearance was completely different from Anne's Ghost Ship, which made Angel feel comfortable.
But then, she discovered that the number of cannons on both sides was not equal, and it was deliberately designed this way, because the gun ports on the side of the ship were also the same.
The asymmetrical design that was popular during the Solomon period, Fourth Epoch's Trier seems to have retained a similar style... Angel muttered and looked back to prevent his spirit from being further hurt.
She looked towards the back section of the deck, and sure enough she saw the huge Stone Chair close to the cabin. The surface was mottled, and no one was sitting down at this time.
"'Golden Queen' Miss Satchi, Earl are waiting for you in the captain's cabin on the third floor."
Angel heard the voice of Loenese with Intis accent. She looked to the side and saw a strong man with short brown hair and a beard, wearing a dark red captain's suit, with the collar and cuffs revealing the complicated patterns of his shirt.
Beside him stood several men dressed more like waiters than sailors, standing in a row as if lining up to welcome distinguished guests.
Calling himself Earl, with a formal and even old-fashioned invitation letter, and the pomp on the ship, this "King of the Five Seas" really regarded himself as a maritime noble... Angel secretly smiled, and followed the guidance of Beyonder, who was probably Mid Sequence, and walked towards the long ladder next to the huge Stone Chair.
Anne, who was more than half a head shorter than her, followed closely behind her, just like the follower of "Golden Queen".
Angel's beauty and vague allure were comparable to the legendary Siren, as well as Anne's white calves that contrasted sharply with the black deck, which made the pirates who gave way to the surrounding eyes look straight.
But the majesty emanating from the newly promoted king of the sea, "Golden Queen", made them look away one after another, not daring to look directly at him. They all took a few steps back and opened the road wider.
No one discovered that the source of this oppressive force was not Angel, who wore a three-cornered hat with a feather floating on her head, and whose figure was highlighted by the shirt and slim trousers under the windbreaker, but the slightly immature-looking girl wearing a light yellow dress behind her.
Following the instructions and arriving on the third floor, Angel stood in front of a black wooden door that looked normal. He took a deep breath and slowly opened the door.
Amidst the scraping sound of the wooden door, the somewhat dim scene in the captain's room fell into Angel's eyes.
In the room, which is much larger than it looks from the outside, iron-black candlesticks hang down from the ceiling, 81 in total, arranged in an arrangement of 41 on the left and 40 on the right. Under the candlesticks, a long metal table and two rows of high-backed chairs are faintly visible in the candlelight. Sitting on the high-backed chair at the top of the long table is a man about 1.9 meters tall.
He wears a spire-shaped crown on his head, his black hair is neatly combed, and his beard of the same color barely reaches his neck. He wears a black robe with silver trim and simple patterns. His face has deep lines like a sculpture, and a dark red light shines in his black eyes.
As soon as she stepped into the door and looked into his eyes, Angel felt a strong pressure that was about to bend her body and hit her along the line of sight, making her feel that the person in front of her was getting taller and taller, almost God.
It must be Sequence 3... This thought came to Angel's mind instantly. She involuntarily wanted to lower her head, bend over, or even kneel down to salute, but a warm touch came from behind her. Anne gently stroked her arm, and a more powerful but relatively soft force came from the contact, making Angel straighten her chest again.
"'King of the Five Seas', White Maple Earl, Nast Your Excellency."
After stabilizing his emotions, Angel greeted in a calm tone. This was out of courtesy between Pirate King, rather than giving in under heavy pressure.
Nast, whose black robe could barely cover his tall body, took a deep look at Angel, who was unmoved by his own momentum. The dark red light in his eyes disappeared, he nodded slightly, and replied in a low tone:
"'Golden Queen', I have heard about your deeds in Bayam and recognize your strength as one of the kings. You can sit down wherever you like and wait for other participants to arrive."
As he spoke, he looked at the other figure that was almost blocked behind Angel, and did not move for a long time.
It wasn't until Angel wanted to turn around to see if there was anything on Anne's face that Nast spoke again:
"I didn't expect that one hundred and fifty years later, I would be able to see you again, Princess Anne."
This voice no longer had the low tone when talking to Angel just now, but instead had a hint of surprise.
Anne...Your Highness?
Hearing this title, Angel was stunned for a moment, and then understood the meaning of Nast's words.
This title corresponds to the person of Anne Angel, rather than the secular identity.
Just like "Goddess's Sword" Cesimir calls Arianna "Your Highness", in major churches, for beings walking on the earth with the rank of Angel, "Your Highness" needs to be added to the address in person to show respect. And this itself is derived from the inheritance of Fourth Epoch's various empires. It is not strange for Nast, who claims to be a descendant of Solomon and abides by some weird but self-contained rules, to call Anne with this suffix.
But how does he know that Anne is Beyonder of Sequence 2...
Angel turned back to look at the girl with black hair and golden eyes behind her. There was a hint of confusion on the latter's face and she asked:
"You know me?"
"King of the Five Seas" on the throne-like high-backed chair nodded slightly:
"Yes, you may not have noticed, but my father and I met you when White Maple Palace met Emperor Roselle. Later I learned from my father that you were the great ship 'Queen Anne's Revenge'."
This answer surprised Angel. According to Nast, he should have seen Anne when Roselle was still alive, and it was probably the period between when he became emperor in his later years and when he was assassinated, which was more than 150 years ago.
It seems that the rumors are not false. This "King of the Five Seas" has lived for more than 160 years... Angel sighed in his heart and looked at Anne and asked again after a short silence:
"White Maple Earl Savini Solomon?"
"You still remember him. My father would be very pleased to know," Nast Solomon's tone was inexplicably excited. "After he left, I inherited his title, but I no longer have a place in that country... However, I will establish a new order, a new kingdom on the sea, and become... Black Emperor."
At the end, Nast stood up from his "throne", and the black eyes under the spire crown once again glowed dark red.
"Well, I'm looking forward to it."
Anne replied, with a dull tone and expressionless face.
She wasn't expecting it at all.
Happy holidays everyone.
