Late at night, several "outsiders" finally gathered together again in the deserted City Hall.
Of course, the two "consuls", the old and the new, are not among them. They have to rebuild the most important part before other residents notice the collapse of the original laws, especially the laws prohibiting serious crimes such as murder and robbery. Otherwise, once someone discovers that the relevant "prohibitions" are invalid, it may lead to some tragedies that no one wants to see.
In addition, in the short-lived Catastrophe, although the mutated animals finally did not rush into the city and kill ordinary residents due to the obstruction of Nast and Georgina, the collapsed houses, continuous earthquakes and panic stampedes still caused varying degrees of injuries to a few unlucky residents, and some buildings on the outskirts of the city were also damaged.
"Over the long years, 'Dream City' has collected the characteristics of many Beyonder who accidentally entered this place and became residents. Some of them naturally formed Sealed Artifact, which can treat injured residents. The house is also designed with enough redundancy to prevent residents who have lost their homes from becoming homeless...
"But Anne probably won't have time to join us in the past two days. Even if most of the work is handed over to...Goredolf, she will be extremely busy."
Angel chuckled and explained to Klein sitting next to him.
She could feel the resentment coming from the other side of the contract from the position of Anne Mark in the palm of her hand, the discomfort of staying on her ship for too long and the sudden increase in workload, the complaints that Angel had left her alone, and the relief of being able to reflect her own worth...
The contract between us seems to be more closely connected, is it because we are both in "Dream City", the effect of the contract derived from the power of order is more obvious, or is it because of what I experienced tonight and the recognition of my identity by the new law... Angel was thinking when he suddenly saw the door of the City Hall being pushed open and a tall figure walked in. After a few seconds, another burly man wearing a pointed crown followed him into the hall.
They obviously arrived together... Angel chuckled secretly and stood up to greet "King of the Five Seas" Nast Solomon and Georgina Augustus Duchess.
Although several people have different positions, Nast wants to get his share of the treasure and become the real Angel, Georgina belongs to the Loen Royal Family, and Angel is wary of them all, but just now During the short period of Catastrophe, these two Saint at least showed a style of conduct that Angel recognized. Therefore, after obtaining most of the authority of "Dream City", she did not expel them immediately, but planned to talk to them.
After sitting down at the rest area in the corner of the hall, Angel first discovered Nast holding a wooden box that he had not seen him carrying all morning.
The box is completely black, with traces of soil still stained on the surface. It is painted with simple but beautiful lines, and is also inlaid with a metal nameplate that has a lot of rust.
"That box... belongs to that White Maple Earl, Savini Solomon?"
Angel asked with enlightenment.
"Yes, I found it in a public cemetery on the outskirts of the city..."
Nast glanced at Georgina who was sitting far away from him, then looked down at the wooden box, and said with an indifferent expression. Angel noticed that his doubts were suddenly answered in his eyes that originally had a dark Red Light light.
"He left suddenly in the last stage of his life and left behind clues that were difficult to decipher. I had doubts about this until yesterday when I found him in the city's outsider list and confirmed that he had truly left..."
He took a long breath and said the words he seemed to have been preparing for a long time:
"I will take him back to Intis, back to Aurmir's hometown."
It is a province rich in high-end wine. No, this is not the point. The point is whether it will disrespect the wishes of the deceased. After all, it was Savini Earl who decided to spend his last period in this city... Angel suddenly had this idea in his mind and said immediately:
"I didn't expect that it was the message he left behind that helped you find him... well, it also helped us get here."
"But you don't seem to want to express your gratitude?"
Nast looked away from the wooden box, looked at Angel, and asked rudely.
"We have obtained the ownership of 'Ghost Empire' through some means. Of course, those legendary Beyonder Characteristic are also among them, but together they maintain the operation of this city with a life of 100,000 people. I do not intend to destroy this tranquility for the time being."
Angel was talking eloquently, and when Nast's expression changed a little, he added:
"Of course, White Maple Earl's share of Beyonder Characteristic should be preserved by this city, and I will give it to you later as a reward for providing you with the 'Ghost Empire' information."
Before meeting the two of them, Angel had already found the information of Savini with the pseudonym "William Kidd" on the City Hall, and knew that he was Sequence 4 of "Fallen Earl" and Lawyer Pathway before his death.
According to the law, this Beyonder Characteristic was taken away by the City Hall after the death of Beyonder and kept in the "Night Emperor and Blood Moon Queen" Memorial Hall below. The absolute power of "order" suppresses various negative effects.
As a rare High Sequence Beyonder Characteristic, it is difficult to be used by ordinary citizens without extraordinary powers, and no Artisan can make it into Mystical Item. Therefore, it has been preserved in the darkness with complete characteristics for more than 100 years.
After hearing the conditions proposed by Angel, Nast's eyes hidden under the shadow of the crown flashed with a dark Red Light light, and after a moment he nodded and said:
"That's it."
Hearing this, Angel also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although a Beyonder Characteristic of Sequence 4 is worth 30,000 to 50,000 pounds, the premium is higher for some Beyonder who are in urgent need of promotion, even Nast himself has no need, and there is a long line of subordinates waiting to be fed. However, compared with the opportunity for him to be promoted to Angel, the harvest of this "Ghost Empire" trip is undoubtedly greatly reduced.
After all, he didn't exert much effort. He spent the whole day digging the grave of the former White Maple Earl Savini... Angel muttered.
This allocation method was discussed with Anne and Klein. After all, "King of the Five Seas" is only a temporary partner and has not become their true ally. Once this Pirate King truly becomes Angel will have the power to compete with Anne, and is likely to try to jump to Sequence 1 "Hand of Order" of Adjacent Pathways, posing a threat to "Hope City".
Fortunately, he can see the situation clearly and knows that he is currently at a disadvantage. Otherwise, I would immediately put a few hats on him in the name of the Archon's agent and make up charges on the spot, such as stepping into the City Hall with his left foot first, or disrespecting "Night Emperor" while wearing a crown, and lock him up for a few months to sober up...
Angel put away her little desire for power with difficulty, looked at Georgina, and asked:
"What about you? Do you want to go back to Backlund after leaving here?"
Duchess, who is not much younger than George III but still maintains a youthful appearance, shook his head and said:
"I plan to 'disappear' for a while. Otherwise, there are many doubts about why I followed you into 'Ghost Empire' but escaped without any gain. It is very likely that the contract with you will be discovered..."
She also glanced at Nast and realized that she shouldn't say too much, so she quickly stopped the topic and said instead:
"In short, please pay attention to the news from Northern Front. If the situation there suddenly changes, it may mean that his final plan is about to begin. Oh, this is also thanks to your activeness on the battlefield, otherwise the process will be greatly advanced."
Northern Front, the frontline battlefield where Prince Gowenton is... Angel nodded solemnly with an expression on his face.
After she learned that the big Prince was sent to the front line, she made some guesses, thinking that George III might use this Prince to make some articles. If the crown prince brings the close guard When Legion wins, he will take advantage of the situation to mobilize the whole country. If the losses are heavy, he will hold a national mourning. No matter what the situation is, he can use this occasion to meet the Promotion Ritual requirements of "Black Emperor".
Of course, after Georgina said that George III originally wanted Prince to die on the front line, Angel became even more afraid of the ruthless King.
After a short communication, she used her transcendent identity to agree to Georgina and Nast's request to "leave the country". However, in order to prevent them from starting a fight outside as soon as they left, Georgina will leave first, and Nast will have to wait for five minutes. This time is enough for Duchess to leave the real sea area, but not enough for her to lay a trap and ambush "King of the Five Seas".
Watching "Imperative Mage" exile himself into the void and leave "Hope City", Nast's emotionless eyes looked at Angel again, and suddenly asked:
"The 'active' she just said was referring to the fact that you wiped out an entire Feysac naval fleet in the Intervening Sea?"
In fact, there is also one "Iron-Blooded Knight"... Angel secretly added and nodded:
"A little bit of work."
Rubbing the black wooden box in his hand, Nast suddenly felt that he was really old.
"You are becoming more and more like Pirate Queen." After Nast left, Klein suddenly laughed and said with great interest, "Next, it's time for us to leave. Anne will probably take several days to finish the work here, and we can't afford to wait."
Although he is interested in those Beyonder Characteristics of "Duke of Entropy" and "Barren Matriarch", he is not very possessive. After all, they all originally belonged to a certain Angel of Fourth Epoch. Even if they did not become Sealed Artifact, they still have powerful negative effects, which he, a Sequence 4, cannot bear.
According to Anne, the characteristics of "Catastrophe" Demoness required to peel off Angel from inside "Hope City" It will take a month. During this period, she will cooperate with Amon's Avatar to move the floating city to an island near the Rhoside Islands, far away from the safe channel, and park it on the seaside as a real, realistic coastal city.
In this way, in addition to "Planeswalker" that allows the city to burrow into Spirit World to avoid attacks at any time, and "Duke of Entropy" that makes the city float due to Distortion's gravity, he We can get a copy of "Catastrophe" and a copy of "Barren Matriarch" Beyonder Characteristic. The former can be promoted as Angel to Potion Main Materials, the latter may be used as a "0" level Sealed Artifact.
"This journey has been very rewarding, and I have also obtained a lot of Fourth Epoch historical documents, which can help me uncover the fog of that hidden history, and can also serve as the Auxiliary Materials of 'Scholar of Yore'. Now, I only have the last bit of acting and the required Main Materials..."
Klein said with a satisfied smile. He took one last look outside the window at the streets that were extremely quiet due to the curfew. He felt that the two-day "Ghost Empire" trip was fulfilling and long.
It's a pity that after leaving here, in order to avoid Zarathus's tracking, the two of us have to separate again... As soon as he hesitated, he felt his waist was surrounded by a pair of soft arms, and then there was an elegant body fragrance in his nose that he missed so much.
"How about we leave tomorrow?"
Immediately, a sound as subtle as the rubbing of paper came to Klein's ears, which quickly restored his depressed mood.
"Here, disrespecting 'Golden Queen' is a serious crime..."
"Anne is the one who has the final say when he is away. I will pardon your crime in advance tonight."
After getting "permission", Klein held Angel's palm with his backhand. Bright yellow flames surged under the windbreaker, wrapped the two of them, and disappeared into the City Hall with a snap.
Qonas Kilgor, who had been standing nearby like an invisible man, silently walked out of the corner and took a look at the depths of the City Hall, where a rabbit jumped out.
Two Marionette You looked at me and I looked at you, but neither of them made any move for a while.
After an awkward silence, with the crisp sound of two flame explosions, City Hall finally returned to true tranquility.
