Blood Bishop Goes to Sea?
Are you sure this is "The Slaughterer" Kircheis?
Jante pressed for an answer.
His red nose was glowing from excitement.
"It's definitely him. Just send it to the Church of Storms; they'll definitely have a way to confirm it."
Anderson had witnessed Kircheis's death firsthand, so he was naturally very confident.
"That's good."
Hearing this, Jante nodded excitedly. He began to circle the body, examining it and clicking his tongue in disapproval.
"Anderson, you're amazing! You actually managed to hunt down the second mate of 'The King of Immortality' Agalito!" he exclaimed excitedly. "Now, you can definitely be called the 'Strongest Hunter' in the Sonia Sea!"
"No, I didn't kill Kircheis."
Upon hearing the other party claim credit for the "killer" hunt, Anderson quickly denied it, saying, "I killed the other two."
He was joking; he wouldn't dare steal the spotlight from Gascoigne.
"If it's not you? Then who is it?"
"Jante asked curiously."
That's right. The way the corpse was "packed" certainly doesn't seem like Anderson's style. He was just thinking this when he saw the "Strongest Hunter of the Fog Sea" across from him speak, his mouth opening and closing to provide the answer:
"The one who killed Kircheis was the [Blood Bishop]."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding atmosphere fell silent again.
No, to be precise, they were practically frozen. Everyone stared at Anderson, as if he had just said something incomprehensible.
"Wait a minute. Their reaction is strange."
Anderson quickly sensed something amiss. "Could it be that there's some secret I don't know about in the name [Blood Bishop]?"
He initially thought that the [Blood Bishop] was a rising adventurer who had rapidly gained prominence during his time trapped in the God War Ruins, which was why he spoke of him without hesitation. He even intended to spread the word about the other person's reputation. But judging from everyone's current state, it was probably more than that!
"I was just kidding."
Anderson immediately put on a smiling face.
"You mean, what you just said was a lie?"
"Of course! How about that, were you scared? Your reactions are really interesting."
Anderson said with a grin.
"Damn it! You're still as awful as ever!"
Jante was furious, but he also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
There's definitely something wrong.
Anderson maintained a smile, but in his heart he became increasingly convinced that there was something he didn't know.
"I'll come to collect the money tomorrow, please prepare it for me as soon as possible."
He calmly told the cursing and rambling Jante to throw the three corpses on the ground. Then he walked out of the Adventurer Mutual Aid Association and went to a nearby bar.
"A glass of Southville Beer."
He tossed a few coins down and said to the bartender.
The bartender took the money and served him a glass of beer with fine foam and golden liquid.
Anything interesting happening lately?
Anderson took a sip of his beer and asked casually, "I've just finished a long voyage, and the news is running low." He was no longer in the mood to savor the beer; he was eager to find out about the so-called [Blood Bishop].
"Something new happens every day on the Sea."
The bartender, wiping glasses, glanced at him and said...
"Tell me about that [Blood Bishop], I've seen people talking about that name."
Anderson hinted indirectly.
"It seems you've been at sea for quite some time; you didn't even know him."
The bartender chuckled, but considering Anderson had given him a larger tip, he continued, "He's Criminal's been on the run recently."
After figuring out the situation, he was completely shocked.
He actually bombarded the Imperial Palace and attacked the king on the Year-End Day, and he had committed many dangerous acts before that. Gascoigne is much crazier than I imagined! No wonder everyone reacted that way after hearing his name!
"The wine is good."
Anderson calmly finished his beer and turned to leave. Before he went out, he scanned the wall where the wanted posters were displayed in the bar, finally spotting a newly posted one near the Four Kings:
[Blood Bishop]
Regardless of life or death
Bounty: 120,000
The wanted poster didn't show any facial features, only a blurry figure in a robe, with a line of small print below. "Always wears a blood-red robe, utters evil prayers."
£120,000
Anderson counted the zeros on the bounty poster carefully before stepping out of the bar. He walked steadily until he entered a deserted alley, then sped up and ran quickly towards the Inn.
Oops!
We're in danger!
Although I managed to get away with it just now, the state of those blood-red crystals easily reminded me of the Shepherd Pathway. If they thought about it more carefully, they might report me. I must go back and tell Gascoigne immediately!
Anderson was starting to regret it; he hadn't expected that simply saying a name would have such serious consequences.
When he arrived at the Inn they had agreed to meet, he found Luther checking in at the front desk.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing him rush in, and with a rather unpleasant expression, Luther waved his hand, Hypnosis everyone else present, before asking his question.
"Um, I'm so sorry."
Anderson forced a smile and said, "I didn't know what the name '[Blood Bishop]' meant before, and I revealed it to the Mutual Aid Society."
He briefly explained what had just happened, becoming increasingly uneasy as he spoke, fearing that the other party might displease him and Grazing him. "We should leave here as soon as possible, lest they report us."
"Oh, this? It's nothing."
After hearing his words, Luther waved his hand calmly, "Let them report it."
He had just been promoted to Sequence 4 Demigod and was looking for someone to practice on.
While the Royal Family's pursuit is troublesome, High Sequence Angel won't easily mobilize, and mid-to -Low Sequence angels would find it difficult to completely eliminate him. In the short term, even if his location is exposed, it won't pose a significant problem.
Moreover, what he plans to do next will openly expose his presence at sea.
"You don't mind?"
Anderson asked, utterly astonished.
Not at all.
As Luther answered, he wrote down his current name in the register—Alexander Gascoigne. Again, since they were going to be exposed sooner or later anyway, they might as well associate this false name with themselves.
"This"
Anderson didn't know what to say.
So, we should just ignore them?
"There are still empty rooms here. Please book one for yourself, then come to my room. I have something to ask you."
Luther didn't give him time to hesitate. He spoke directly, then picked up the black cat and went up to the second floor first.
Anderson stood at the front desk on the first floor for a while, his expression changing rapidly. In the end, he gritted his teeth and booked a room as well. He didn't have much luggage with him, so after getting the key, he went straight to find Luther.
What's the matter?
Anderson asked as soon as he entered.
Luther had booked the best room. Luna stomped around on the soft mattress while he sat in a sofa chair to the side.
"Give me detailed information about the seven Pirate Admiral and four Pirate Kings."
He stretched out in the chair.
This can also be seen as a way to get a head start on understanding what our future peers will be like.
