Watching Magician's face changing in the corner of the tavern, Fors Wall's eyes flickering, feeling the regular changes of Spirit World around him, Angel chuckled secretly, and controlled "Mirror World" to interfere with the other party's "Travel".

She naturally knows why the other party wants to escape. Whether it is the publishing of the "Angelica" novel series, or the misleading words she accidentally said on Tarot Club two weeks ago, such as "Mr. World, please take me to Travel", it will make this Beyonder, who is just Sequence 6 "Scribe", have a certain degree of fear of seeing "Empress" in reality.

However, in the continuous development and use of the core capabilities of Demoness, Angel discovered that this "Mirror World" overlaps with reality and Spirit World. It seems to be completely different in nature, but in fact it is closely related to both worlds. "Mirror World" is essentially a part of Spirit World. Controlling Spirit World can interfere with the operation of Mirror World to a certain extent. In turn, Mirror World can also have an impact on Spirit World.

Although she is not yet able to restrict Demigod-level "Death" and "Apprentice" from performing Spirit World Shuttle or Travel, there is still no problem in blocking the "Travel" ability of a "Scribe" Reenactment.

This can be seen from the way Fors suddenly became confused and then panicked.

She almost cried, so cute... no, so pitiful, no wonder she had to cover her face with a hood, otherwise her somewhat mature but timid look would easily arouse the covetousness of others in Bayam. Of course, if anyone dared to come forward and strike up a conversation, the result would be nothing more than a variety of consequences. His ability to record was beaten violently, and he became the object of ridicule by others... Angel raised the corners of his mouth slightly, no longer looking at the Tarot Club member who was more than a little afraid of him, and walked to the bar. Ignoring the secret codes and gestures, he said directly to the bartender:

"Is that 'Unjust' Derek here?"

Unlike most drunkards who were just indulging in Angel's beauty but did not recognize her as "Golden Queen" worth 450,000 pounds, this bartender obviously remembered the somewhat distorted portraits on the wanted posters at the door of the bar. There was a trace of panic on his intoxicated expression, but he was reluctant to wake up from the fantasy of having a charming relationship with her.

It wasn't until Angel restrained Charm's power that he regained consciousness. Just as he was about to say something, a thin voice came from behind him:

"'Golden Queen', who has both beauty and strength, comes to visit. Even if I am not here, I will rush back immediately."

Angel had already noticed this short brown-haired man who looked to be over 40 years old coming down from the second floor, and his eyes immediately moved to him.

"Okay, let's all go about our own business. I'll talk to her alone."

The appearance of "Unjust", who had a 5,500-pound reward on the wanted poster, did not attract the attention of the drinkers who always wanted to hunt pirates. Instead, they naturally looked away, drank, played cards, and started busy with their own affairs.

This is some kind of verbal "Distortion", turning his words into commands that others follow. Combined with his bounty and nickname, it should be "Lawyer" Pathway Sequence 6's "Baron of Corruption"... Angel silently guessed, and "Unjust" Derek passed the stairwell and came to a luxuriously decorated lounge on the second floor that didn't look like it belonged to a bar. As soon as he stood still, Door Opening asked straightforwardly:

"Can you contact 'King of the Five Seas' Nast?"

Derek looked at Angel, and was stunned for a moment because of her beauty, but thanks to Angel's ability to restrain her Charm feeling, she quickly responded and replied:

"Yes, both here and Earl's ship are equipped with radio transceivers... Excuse me, what do you want to contact Earl Your Excellency about?"

On the "Black Emperor", Nast always called himself White Maple Earl, and his subordinates also called him so, instead of using "captain", "boss" and other terms that he regarded as vulgar terms.

The popularity of radios at sea, especially among pirates who are not under official control, did not surprise Angel.

When North Continent cities were still clinging to communication cables and unwilling to invest in radio research and development due to the large initial investment, Pirate Admiral people had already ignored the impact of the changeable weather on the Berserk Sea on the radio waves, and installed radio transceiver equipment with short communication distances on almost every ship of their own. From this point of view, pirates without historical baggage have stepped into the new era before major countries.

"Just tell me about the time he contacted me before and I agreed."

Condensing his somewhat divergent thoughts, Angel replied, not wanting the intelligence officer who appeared to be "King of the Five Seas" to know too much, lest he sell the information to more people.

"Yes, I will contact the number 'Black Emperor' right now. Please wait here for a moment."

"Unjust" Derek asked Angel to wait in the lounge, while he went into the office deep on the second floor, dug out a Radio Telegraph under Angel's surveillance through the mirror, and used the matching codebook to connect it to another machine where he did not know where he was.

Perhaps he knew that nothing could be hidden from "Golden Queen" who was High Sequence Beyonder. He did all this without any hesitation. Only the method of using the codebook was in his mind, leaving Angel unable to know.

After a while, he returned here with a piece of paper with the deciphered message written on it, and respectfully handed it to Angel. The latter glanced at it and found that the returned telegram was very simple. There was only a location based on several islands of the Sonia Sea, located by distance and angle.

Then, Derek thoughtfully found a map, made a simple positioning according to the telegram information, pointed to the location above and said:

"Earl's fleet should be here, you can go directly to him."

Fleet? But I remember Bernadette said that only the flagship "Black Emperor" was missing. Was he deceiving me, or he didn't know the specific actions of Nast... Angel's thoughts kept flowing, but his expression remained calm, he nodded, turned and left the lounge.

Behind her, the letter and map in the hands of "Unjust" Derek were burning in the silent Black Flame, turning into floating ashes. The expression of this "Baron of Corruption" was pale, and her hands maintained the holding position, not daring to move.

He clearly felt that as long as this wisp of flame touched his body, he would be killed in an instant, and the men next door might not even be able to hear their calls for help.

Smiling secretly at the intelligence officer's cowardice, Angel returned to the first floor and looked towards the corner of the bar. He was surprised to find that the hooded "Magician" Fors was still there and did not take the opportunity to leave. Although she passed Mirror World blocked the nearby Spirit World, but did not tie the other party's hands and feet. Could it be that this "Scribe" used "Teleportation" all day long and couldn't even move his feet to escape?

With a thought in her mind, she looked around and found that all the drinkers were still bound by the orders of "Unjust" Distortion. They did not turn their attention to Fors, and simply walked towards Fors, preparing to have a good talk with her on how to deal with the pirated novels on the market that had a lot of waste added to them.

At this moment, Angel suddenly noticed that the blocked Spirit World was touched. It seemed that someone was trying to enter the bar through "Teleportation", but the other party's ability to shuttle Spirit World was obviously not much better than Fors, and he was quickly "squeezed out" and landed outside the building.

A few seconds later, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a thin figure wearing a top hat and a black windbreaker stepped into the bar. He looked around and landed on Fors in the corner.

Seeing that Miss Magician, whom he had thrown into Bayam's "collection" two days ago, was sitting in the bar without any missing arms or legs, and Spirit Body Threads was floating around his body naturally, Klein breathed a sigh of relief.

But the changes in Spirit World around him still made him have some doubts. If he hadn't done a divination outside the door to confirm that there were no ambush or hidden dangers inside, he might have found a place to go up to Gray Fog in four steps, and then entered the bar with "Card of Blasphemy" and "Sea God's Scepter" to find out.

Coming to the side of the novelist who was huddled under his hood and cloak, he asked in a low and cold tone:

"Can you leave now?"

He was actually quite curious about what the other party had seen and experienced in Bayam in the past two days, and how he planned to turn them into parts of the story. He also knew that once he asked a question, the other party would definitely answer honestly, but this was not in line with Mad Adventurer's character, so he had to give up.

"Uh, ready..."

Fors then raised his head, looked around, and finally his eyes rested on "Gehrman Sparrow" who was standing in front of him, almost blocking everyone's eyes, and answered cautiously.

"By the way, I just saw...'Empress' Miss here."

As if remembering something, Fors added very quickly.

"Empress"...Angel? Why did she come here?

Klein was stunned, and then thought that the other party would try to contact Duchess Georgina in the past few days to ask about "Ghost Empire". Perhaps he came to Bayam for the purpose of investigating this matter, so he nodded slightly, did not answer, but pressed his left hand with a transparent glove against the other party's shoulder.

By the way, Spirit World here is interfered with and restricted...

At this time, he thought of the Strange Phenomenon he had just encountered, but found that the process of "Teleportation" was extremely smooth. It seemed that this restriction had quietly disappeared without knowing it.

It couldn't be Angel, right? In order to restrict Fors from escaping... Hmm, but why did she restrict "Magician" Miss, who is also a member of Tarot Club?

A strange thought came to mind. Klein seemed to sense something when the scenery around him turned into color blocks, and the color blocks gradually became thicker, so he looked back.

A pair of purple eyes looked towards this side with a smile.

He suddenly understood why Fors had been shrinking.

In the middle of the night, Xio Derecha carried a thick envelope containing cash and returned to East Borough's marginal residence that she shared with Fors.

After the Viscount Stratford incident, the two moved out of their original residence and came to rent here to avoid being affected by subsequent changes in the incident. Fortunately, both MI9 and the royal family gave up tracking the two after a short investigation. Today, she finally got the merits she had accumulated before and could choose among some rewards.

Under Fors's suggestion, Xio decisively chose Gold Pound instead of the Potion formula of "Judge", which ostensibly made MI9 think he was She gave up on improving her strength as quickly as possible and gave up on investigating the cause of her father's death. But secretly, she had actually reserved the formula for sale by Miss Empress on Tarot Club this week, and was only waiting for Gold Pound to complete the transaction.

This is much more convenient than those Underground Gatherings who have to go into alleys and hide their faces to participate. I can trade with all kinds of powerful Beyonders while sitting at home, and no one can notice anything unusual... She muttered, opened the door to the living room, and said Fors, who bought "Judge" Beyonder Characteristic for her in advance, was lying on the sofa with her legs on the armrests, one hand on her forehead and the other casually thrown to her side, as if she was caught in some kind of negative emotion.

"Fors, I used my merits in exchange for 2,500 pounds. In addition to what I saved before, I can already exchange it for the 'Judge' formula. I can also pay you some money... Fors?"

While calling his friend's name, Xio leaned closer and poked her stomach with his finger curiously, causing Fors to curl up and let out a whimpering sound that was either Affliction or suppressed laughter.

"Didn't you ask Mr. World to take you to Travel? You were very happy when you left two days ago. What happened now?"

"..."

Fors seemed to have whispered something, but Xio didn't hear it clearly, so she had to get closer, almost putting her ear to the other person's mouth.

"I... I've never felt so happy going out Travel..."

This time, she finally heard Fors's complaint.

In the endless storm to the east of the Sonia Sea, the figure of Angel appeared on the deck of a huge black Three-Masted Sailing Ship.

In an instant, the pouring rain seemed to have entered another world different from reality, and not a drop continued to fall on the ship.

One of the pirates who was working on the deck in the rain did not dare to show his anger. He bowed his head and saluted respectfully to the young woman who was one of the "Five Kings" along with White Maple Earl. Listening to her rhythmic footsteps passing by, the footsteps that seemed to be stepping on their hearts aroused all kinds of desires in their hearts, but they did not dare to make any unnecessary movements.

It wasn't until this figure entered the captain's room, and until the heavy rain fell again, pouring water all over their heads and faces, that the pirates recovered from the feeling of fear and desire, and began to discuss in low voices why "Golden Queen" came to the "Black Emperor" and why White Maple Earl did not put on the usual etiquette posture.

In the captain's room, which was much wider than it looked from the outside and decorated in the asymmetrical style of Fourth Epoch Solomon Empire, Angel once again saw "King of the Five Seas" wearing a steeple crown and a black robe.

"You mean, you are willing to cooperate with me to find and explore 'Ghost Empire'?"

Putting aside all the red tape that showed Emperor Roselle Imperial Decree's title, Nast Solomon couldn't wait to ask.
