From the time Klein "came" to this world, he almost "grew up" listening to various legends about the Berserk Sea, such as the crazy Storm rain that appears and disappears at any time, Death's Secret Hoard in the depths of the ocean, and countless adventurers who went on a treasure hunt but never appeared again...

Even at this moment when High Sequence has been touched, he still has an instinctive fear of the huge sea area formed by the fall of Death, especially after seeing the scene where Underworld overlapped with reality caused by "Azik Copper Whistle" activating the power of Death yesterday.

But even so, facing the Berserk Sea storm that suddenly appeared at this time, Klein also felt something was wrong. This was not a reminder from Spirituality, but a sensitivity to "coincidences".

The Intis person just now is probably Beyonder, and Sequence is not low, as can be seen from his condescending attitude. As soon as he noticed this, the storm isolated the pier from the departing passenger ship, as well as the passenger who was hiding his appearance... Klein quickly connected these unusual situations and came to a conclusion:

The man hiding his appearance was on the run, and the Intis man was chasing him. When he fled to the ship in a panic and was blocked by the only way out of the dock, the former used a certain method to induce the celestial phenomena to block the sight of the storm and at the same time force the passenger ship to leave quickly to avoid being caught up!

To achieve this effect, I can only use "Sea God's Scepter" placed in Grey Mist for Sequence 5, or directly take out Copper Whistle and Underworld came to have a close encounter. I am afraid that this escapee has the strength of Demigod, or has mastered the "1" level Sealed Artifact... Klein smiled bitterly, lamenting the uncertainty of fate and the troubled journey.

Fortunately, that weird passenger probably needs regular transportation and will not take action against the ship. Their chase is over and they have no intersection with me...

Watching the storm outside the window eerily dissipating, wisps of sunshine penetrating the dark clouds towards the sea, and the pier in the distance almost invisible, Klein muttered, preparing to return to his room, pretending not to know anything.

At this moment, his inspiration really reminded him, causing him to look towards the direction of the pier again, which was still shrouded in dark clouds and heavy rain, with lightning flashing from time to time.

In the rain, a little orange-yellow, almost incandescent fire gradually grew in size, and soon turned into a huge Flame Spear. It seemed to be held by invisible hands, flying straight towards the passenger ship Klein was on, and hit the front of the deck in the horrified eyes of the passengers.

Boom——

Huge sound waves accompanied by flames swept through the entire front half of the passenger ship. Klein's eyes focused for a moment, but immediately became distracted, making the same dumbfounded expression as other passengers.

He had already noticed that although these flames were extremely hot, they bypassed the passengers with great precision and swept across the wooden deck without igniting a hair or a piece of sawdust.

They quickly shrank and condensed into a figure made of flames, and then the flames dissipated, and a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue coat with sunken eye sockets and slightly curly brown hair appeared in front of everyone.

It's the Intis guy who was on the dock just now. This, this landing posture is so handsome... Klein sighed, and then considered whether he could achieve this with his Beyonder Ability This effect, he soon discovered to his dismay that even if he was promoted to "Marionettist", his Flaming Jump was still the same as Magician, and there was absolutely no earth-shattering effect like his counterpart's.

But Flame Spear... He should be Demigod of "Hunter" Pathway, "Iron-Blooded Knight", or "War Bishop", "Reaper" Anderson is definitely not so handsome, he will ignite the deck and then run into chaos...

Assessing the opponent's strength, Klein and other passengers watched the "Hunter" Demigod pass through the crowd and enter the cabin. Within a few seconds, they threw the passenger who had lowered his hat brim and covered his face with a scarf out of the door and fell to the deck.

Caught so quickly, it doesn't look like a fight between two Demigod. Did I guess wrong... As soon as he sighed, he heard a middle-aged man with brown hair and a high nose asked angrily in Intisian:

"Who asked you to get on the ship dressed like this?"

"I, I don't know him either. He gave me a windbreaker, a hat and a scarf, as well as 100 pounds, and asked me to get on this ship to the Southern Continent, and then he left..."

The man with the scarf torn off and the top hat still on one side looked like a man from the Rhoside Islands. He covered his head and answered very quickly.

"Hunter" was silent, his light blue eyes staring closely at the passenger who kept repeating these words, his gaze was like Flame Spear, about to penetrate him.

After a moment, he snorted and no longer looked at the cowering passengers. Instead, he straightened his collar and cuffs and walked towards the side of the ship. The scorching flames gradually rose up on his body, and finally turned into the same Flame Spear as before, and flew to the direction where he came from.

As this supernatural scene disappeared, the passengers on the deck recovered from the shock and began to discuss in low voices how people turned into flames, and how the flames turned back into humans.

Klein had no intention of listening to these small talk. He quickly returned to his room, thinking about what had just happened.

There is no doubt that the target tracked by "Hunter" is not on the ship at all. He simply hired others with money, disguised himself as himself and boarded the ship, and even created weather Strange Phenomenon to block the sea. The purpose was to make "Hunter" Demigod sure that he was on the ship. After tracking him here, he would find another way out...

It's a bit like the method of "Devil" who assassinated Duke Negan. Last time, an angry Demigod was deceived... Klein chuckled, feeling lucky that he and the ship had escaped the conflict between the two Demigod.

He has "Teleportation" and Sea God's Talisman. He is not afraid if the ship sinks, but most of the hundreds of passengers may be buried in the belly of the fish.

For the next time, he rested in the cabin like a normal passenger, occasionally going up to the deck to enjoy the sea breeze, and listened to everyone's conversations ranging from pirates to treasures, from the burning man just now to specious extraordinary events, until the ship docked at another port.

Should we stay on the boat for lunch, or go for a walk...

Klein asked himself the soul torture that occurs to every passenger. He looked out the window and was about to use divination to solve the problem when his eyes suddenly locked on a figure.

He wore a black bonnet, with his hands in the pockets of his double-breasted dress. His temples were dark golden, his nose was high, and his face was shaped like a classical sculpture. The eyes leaning to this side were dim, and he was obviously blind.

Following the crowd of people disembarking, the man quickly disappeared on the pier, while Klein kept looking over there, his body motionless, as if he had turned into a stone statue.

He kept "playing" the actions of the man just now in his mind until the unmistakable face that turned to ashes was deeply imprinted in his memory.

He is Ince Zangwill.

Backlund, Hillston Borough, 8 Burningham Road.

Just after enjoying a sumptuous lunch in the restaurant, Angel was surrounded by seemingly endless offices.

Female Butler Keira customized several sets of summer dresses for her master, for the already increasingly popular Social Season. Several properties that Angel used her spare money to invest in also required a financial person to be hired. Since the security of her wallet was involved, she was prepared to personally intervene.

Butler Ribak conveyed a message from Sander from Veteran Officers Club. The batch of arms they transferred from Intis had already set sail for the Rhoside Islands, and was needed. Angel contacted Helene's "Red Haired Woman" to receive the goods and send them to Gargas Archipelago as soon as possible. This would allow both parties to earn huge profits and also allow Angel to deepen the relationship with these officers.

Baron Cinderas The transfer of Iris Flower Winery as "compensation" has entered the final process. Maybe in July, she will be able to taste the wine produced in her own estate.

What makes her even more happy is that Baron Cinderas successfully persuaded most of the winery's skilled workers and original servants and managers to stay on, which made the handover between the two parties smoother and saved Angel the trouble of re-recruitment.

"Tell all planting, harvesting and wine-making workers that as long as the handover is smooth and they work hard, I will pay an additional bonus of no less than three months' salary at the end of the year as an encouragement for their loyalty."

Angel said to Ribak.

"Okay, Miss," the butler nodded, then hesitantly confirmed, "That will be an expenditure of more than 400 pounds."

Ah, so expensive...

Angel's expression was a little stiff, but for the sake of his reputation for generosity, he reluctantly nodded:

"Just do it."

At this moment, the boundless Gray Fog appeared in front of her. A blurry but somewhat familiar figure bowed her head in prayer, and low-pitched words reached her ears.

Berserk Sea...Midway Island nearby...Ince Zangwill!

Angel's eyes suddenly widened.

It wasn't until Gray Fog dispersed that the look of the housekeeper Ribak in front of her who was curious but did not dare to look directly at her beautiful Mistress fell into Angel's eyes. She pretended to be calm and sent away the maid and the two housekeepers. She returned to the bedroom on the third floor, locked the doors and windows, sealed the room with Wall of Spirituality, and sat on the single sofa to wait quietly.

After a moment, a crimson light surrounded her.

Luxurious villas at Empress Borough, Earl Hall.

Audrey Hall was busy at the table in her study. There were many manuscript papers on the table in front of her, with information obtained from various places written on them. Using this information, she had pieced together the movement trajectories of the three people who aroused her interest.

"Lily Granger's brother Cole Granger is actually a wanted criminal. He disappeared after Tingen City committed a major crime a year ago and has not been found yet...

"Benson and Melissa's parents have passed away, and they are dependent on their younger brother and older brother, Klein Moretti. However, there is a lack of follow-up information. More information about Khoy University, a history graduate, seems to have been hidden..."

Muttering, Audrey put down the notebook in his hand in frustration.

She has used all legal means, and can only get to this step. To move forward, she has to steal information from the archives, follow up, etc. This is the final bottom line in her heart.

Why not, let Susie go there... She looked at Golden Retriever in the corner of the room. The latter tilted his head and looked at his master, as if there was some unknown emotion in his eyes.

Making up his mind, Audrey stood up and walked towards his pet, squatted in front of it, squeezed out a smile and said:

"Susie, I want you to do a favor..."

In addition to painting, it should be able to agree to everything else... She thought to herself, and was about to continue to ask, but she saw an obvious suspicious expression on Susie's face.

"Audrey," it opened its mouth and spoke in human words, "During this period, you are not like you before."
