Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire
Chapter 106 I am the Indomitable Patch!
Chapter 106 I am the Indomitable Patch!
"..."
Patch was a little speechless, so he had to continue talking along the topic, "What I can tell you is very limited. You put out the fire... well, after usurping the fire, the world fell into darkness. But fortunately, most people have successfully transferred to painting. The world, waiting for the day when the world will be bright again. Well, if there is one day."
Patch shrugged and said indifferently, "I didn't see it anyway, but I just don't care."
"I don't think I'd invite you."
Yu glanced at Patch and said calmly.
Although there is no relevant memory, but——
Even if he invited a dog into the painting world, he would never invite Patch!
"really."
Patch nodded, and said with a serious face, "I don't think you will invite me, and I'm really sad that I didn't receive your invitation..."
Patch changed the subject and smiled, "So I chose to do it myself and sneak in."
"And then you saw it too."
Patch spread his hands and sighed, "I was kicked out, and I never went back. Everyone rejected me, as if I had offended them."
"But it's also for this reason that I don't know anything about the situation in the painting world."
As Patch spoke, he complained again and again.
"You should really take care of them. How can I say that I am your good brother too? You are their king, how can I be considered a prince, right? You actually kicked me out as a prince..."
Patch's voice stopped abruptly, because the great sword was already on his neck.
"Okay, I won't say anything."
Patch shrank his neck conscientiously.
Ember didn't cut it down directly, because he planned to ask a few more questions.
"You are asking about our whereabouts?"
"Yes, and no."
Even with the knife resting on his neck, Patch still looked cheap, and said with a chuckle, "I just heard that someone was looking for you, so I just looked for you."
"As for the group of people who first looked for you, it was 'Silver Coin Viper' Odell. And the people behind him are most likely members of the Rose School of Thought."
"But don't worry, I didn't tell Odell your information."
"and also……"
Patch paused, then suddenly took out a gold coin with rust spots and threw it to Ember.
"Snapped!"
Ember held the sword with one hand, and caught the rusty gold coin with the other.
[Ancient gold coins with rust spots.
After being crushed, it can temporarily greatly improve the treasure hunting ability.
Those who lose wealth will one day encounter even greater wealth.
That being the case, wouldn't the more you lose, the better? 】
"Can you let me go?"
Patch looked at Ember sincerely, and when he saw that Ember was unmoved, he changed his face and threatened, "If you don't agree, I will kneel down!"
"..."
Alger was a little puzzled listening to the conversation between the two, but when he heard the last sentence that Paqi said with a fierce face, he almost froze.
But upon hearing this, Ember suddenly put away her weapon, and walked over him towards the Youlan Avenger.
Seeing this, Alger followed immediately, and at the same time began to communicate with Youlan Avenger.
Let this ghost ship come alive.
Soon, the anchor was tightened with the friction of the chain, and the white sail was automatically unfolded without anyone controlling it.
Under the blowing of the wind, the Blue Avenger slowly left the port with its two passengers on board.
Patch was still squatting in the port, squinting at the ghost ship going away.
"I am very simple and unrestrained."
"There's nothing to gain and nothing to lose, so I've lived to this day."
"but you……"
"I've seen people like you, time and time again..."
"It's pathetic that you want to save everyone, but you can't even save yourself."
"The more you help, the more you lose."
"Will you raise your all for honor? Or give up what you have?"
"I'll never understand what drives you guys."
"Is it a thirst for knowledge? A divine mission? Or pure vengeance?"
"No matter what, you are shouldering a mission beyond your own capabilities."
"After passing all the trials, realize that...you are qualified after all."
"Even the gods despair and evade responsibility."
"The first fire will die, and the abyss will seize your courage."
"You hold the burning embers in your hands, you face the end, and you always believe in yourself even when you are deceived."
"There's only one thing I don't understand..."
"why?"
"never mind."
He shook his head, his tone was extremely relaxed, "That's not what I care about."
He's just an ordinary undead man.
Whether it is spreading fire or tampering with fire, whether it is conspiracy or trickery, or confronting the gods.
All this has nothing to do with him after all.
He is an outsider after all.
Just like how even if he entered the world of painting by chance, he was still discovered and expelled in the end——
Really, is it supposed to be a hometown for those who are forbidden and those who have lost everything?
Did you agree that this is the last shelter?
Doesn't he even have the qualifications to be an aboriginal?
Gan!
Patch cursed angrily in his heart.
"Boss, what are we going to do next?"
Not long after the Youlan Avenger left the port, a figure in a black windbreaker quietly came behind Patch and asked respectfully.
Patch suddenly turned his head and said leisurely, "Go and inform Odell, and tell him that we have found the man with ten rings."
"This……"
The person behind him looked surprised, and asked with a strange expression, "Didn't you tell us not to inform Odell, boss?"
Patch came to meet people without telling Odell and the others. He thought that he should cover up his whereabouts for the other party to avoid being followed by Odell and the people behind him, but who would have thought that Patch would actually say such a thing.
"I changed my mind."
Patch stood up and smiled, "Who am I? I'm the indomitable Patch!"
"I thought you were friends..."
"Friend? That's right, but it doesn't stop me from doing anything, does it?"
Patch paused, but just shrugged and said leisurely.
"No matter how the dynasties change, human desires remain the same.
This is really difficult for me who has no desires and desires to understand. "
……
"Is there anything you want to ask?"
On the deck of Youlan Avenger, Ember suddenly asked.
"No, it's just..."
Alger shook his head, "I thought you were friends."
"friend?"
Ember shook her head expressionlessly, "Being friends with him, you have to be careful that you may be tricked by him at any time. Let me give you a piece of advice, never trust Patch."
"You don't believe what he told you just now?"
Alger was slightly surprised, with a strange expression.
"of course."
Ember said calmly, "Be careful, the road ahead may not be too peaceful."
As he said that, Ember suddenly threw a gold coin to Alger.
Alger stretched out his hand to catch it, and Dingqing saw that the gold coin was very old.
Not only are there a lot of rust spots attached to the surface, but even the arcs of the corners are also bumped a lot, which looks extremely rough.
On the surface of the gold coin is a woman with her back and wings, whose face cannot be seen clearly.
Alger found the correspondence of this image almost instantly——
Angel.
From the perspective of Beyonders, Beyonders above Sequence 2 are called angels.
Alger had never seen a real angel, but he had an intuition that these angels should look like ordinary people.
After all, they are all raised step by step from the low sequence. There is no reason to suddenly turn into another race with their backs and wings when they reach sequence 2, right?
Of course, in the classics of major religions, angels serving gods are always in this image.
And some even have more than one pair of wings, the highest-ranking angels even have 12 pairs of wings!
For ordinary people, these angels are the incarnations of gods.They believe in its existence and are extremely devout.
And although Alger had doubts about the authenticity of these religious classics, he had no doubts about the strength of the angels.
In any case, angels are absolute symbols of strength within the major religions!
But right now, the gold coin that Ember threw to him seemed ordinary.
But Alger intuited that it was definitely not that simple!
"This thing..."
Alger hesitated.
"Send it to you."
Ember waved his hand and said, "Crush it when necessary, and it can temporarily greatly increase your luck."
Rusty coins, rusty gold coins, he has too many of these things.
There is no room for the soul.
"A one-time magical item? Or, is it some kind of spell?"
Alger was a little surprised, the ones that can increase luck are all monster sequences.
And at least it's also Sequence 7, maybe even Sequence 5.
Such an important thing just give it away?
and.
According to his knowledge of embers,
After all, most of the opponent's magical items have no side effects.
Those with side effects are also spoils.
At the same time, Alger became more and more curious about Ember's identity.
"What is the identity of Mr. 'Lover'?"
"Judging from his conversation with the man named 'Patch', they should have known each other very early."
"And 'Patch' seems to come from the world of painting, but was driven out by the master of the world of painting."
"Also, he seems to have the property of 'immortality'. Because he seems to have been killed by 'lovers' many times?"
"So is that why 'lovers' are so dismissive of sacrifice rings?"
"Because he can't die?"
"But what sequence ability is this? What sequence can have the ability of immortality?"
"This is no longer the domain of mortals, even ordinary demigods! Otherwise, no demigods will fall."
"But anyway, even for a high-sequence Extraordinary, immortality would be too exaggerated, right?"
"Also, Mister Fool, how much does he know about 'Lover'?"
"Mr. Fool should know a lot. He invited 'Lover' to join the Tarot Society because of his uniqueness."
"..."
Alger was full of doubts in his heart, and he really wanted to find out.
But he has always been very sensible, knowing that asking questions rashly will only embarrass him.
After all, Ember has no obligation to answer his questions.
"never mind."
Alger shook his head, putting these distracting thoughts behind him.
If Ember wanted him to know, she would have told him long ago.
Since the other party didn't say anything, he didn't need to keep struggling.
Instead of thinking about these impossible questions, it is better to think more about the status quo.
Ember says that 'Patch' cannot be trusted, which means he will betray both of himself.
Although I don't understand why Ember didn't kill him.
But these are not the issues he should consider. What he should think about is the consequences of being betrayed.
And if what 'Patch' said was true, it was 'Silver Serpent' Odell who was investigating them.
So, who hired the 'Silver Coin Viper' to investigate?
Is it really the Rose School as Patch said?
Alger's eyes moved slightly.
He knew 'Silver Coin Viper' Odell, a well-known information dealer.
He has dealings with a large number of pirates, but is not a pirate himself.
I have never been on the bounty, and the bounty has been zero so far.
Although the 'Silver Coin Viper' claims to be the owner of the Dawn and serves as the 'Queen of Mysteries', one of the kings of the five seas, this can only deceive fools.
But anyone who knows something about it knows that it is impossible for this kind of intelligence dealer to serve only one person alone.
What's more, Alger thought that they should have nothing to do with the 'Queen of Mysteries'.
The biggest possibility is still the royal family of Loen.
But that doesn't make sense either.
Although the Rorsted Islands are just colonies, they are still under the control of the Kingdom of Loen.
If they are looking for someone, they can do it themselves.
And if it's not the Loen Kingdom, if it's really the Rose School of Thought.
But what did the other party do with Ember?
They only arrived in Bayam yesterday, so they should have nothing to do with the Rose School of Thought!
But anyway, it is always right to be careful.
……
The city of generosity, Bayam.
In a villa not far from the Governor's Mansion.
'Silver Coin Viper' Odell walked up the stairs and cautiously came to a bedroom on the second floor.
He knocked on the door with a slightly trembling body, and said in an unsteady voice:
"Master Senior, I may have information about the person you are looking for."
"Snapped!"
The door of the bedroom was quickly opened, and the naked Senor appeared in front of him.
Even though he was naked, Senor's attitude was still aggressive.
"where?"
Senior didn't care that this was Odell's house, and asked in a condescending tone.
"He has left Bayam."
Odell said something, fearing that Senor might misunderstand, and explained, "I also just received the information that someone saw the man wearing ten rings at the port."
"But before he could see the man's face clearly, the other party had already left by boat."
"Whose ship?"
Senor asked in a deep voice.
"do not know."
Odell looked a little nervous, and hurriedly said, "That ship has white sails, so it's hard to tell which side it belongs to."
"waste!"
Senior's face was gloomy, and his light brown eyes swept over Odell's face coldly, making this well-known adventurer lower his head.
Senor snorted coldly.
But after all, Odell was still useful, and he didn't kill him.
He just picked up the clothes scattered on the floor, and walked downstairs while putting them on.
During this period, Odell stood there with his head down.
Until Senor pushed open the door and completely disappeared into the villa.
Odell breathed a sigh of relief silently, and looked into the house through the open door.
A woman with a graceful figure, delicate face but no hair was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly. The bruises on her body showed that she was tortured enough last night.
There was a peculiar smell of heather in the house, and the lady had this smile of contented happiness on her face.
This woman is Odell's mistress Vivienne.
But it was not Odell who spent the evening with her last night.
A flash of anger flashed in Odell's eyes, he turned and walked into the room, closing the door by the way.
"Bitch! If I can't deal with him, I can't deal with you?"
……
Sunya Sea, north of the Gargas Islands.
A sailboat tens of meters long, clean and tidy, with a golden color reflected in the sun, is riding the wind and waves, rushing out of the dangerous sea area and advancing into the nearby safe channel.
And when the people on the boat noticed the looming land in the distance, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After ten days of sailing, they finally arrived at Sonia Island.
In order to avoid possible searches by the Loen Kingdom, they didn't even dare to take the safe route.
Instead, they walked the violent and dangerous sea all the way, just to reach Sonia Island as much as possible.
Although the Kingdom of Loen might not necessarily trouble them.
But it's always right to be careful.
"As long as we can reach Sonia Island, the eagle dogs of the Loen Kingdom will not dare to trouble us!"
"Hahahaha, Loen Kingdom, that's all!"
Danitz seemed to be elated, standing on the deck of the bow and laughing loudly.
And the sailors around seemed to have gotten used to it, turning a blind eye to his mad behavior.
not to mention.
Their mood at this time was almost the same as that of Danis.
In order to avoid the possible pursuit of the Loen Kingdom, they have been worried for a long time.
"Speaking of which, it seems that the captain hasn't come out for a long time."
The second officer Orpheus touched his chin and asked a little strangely, "Is there anything wrong?"
"I gonna go see."
The three pairs of floral bow ties moved slightly, and said immediately.
"roll."
The first mate, Blue, and the second mate, Orpheus, spoke in unison, and Orpheus kicked him by the way.
At the same time, inside the captain's room of the Golden Dream.
A beautiful lady with an oval face, a straight nose, and thin lips, but her delicate face is full of tangles at this moment.
Those light blue eyes that were originally as clear as spring water were also filled with embarrassment.
Just entering the safe passage today, she received good news and bad news.
The good news is.
Teacher Kelana wrote back to her, which means that Teacher Kelana has woken up from a long slumber.
This is a good thing.
The bad news is that Mrs. Clara told her in the letter that she must bring the 'Ash Black' she picked up to Lunburg.
Even Teacher Ke LaNa specially called out their names, absolutely absolutely not passing through the sphere of influence of the Loen Kingdom!
Don't go into the Sunya Sea, let alone the Violent Sea——
It is necessary to pass through the Feysac Empire from the North Sea, detour to the Misty Sea and return to Lunburg.
But the problem is.
Is there a possibility, I mean possible.
Had Ash Black disembarked at Tuscat Island ten days earlier?
"..."
The lady's beautiful face is full of tangles, and she doesn't know how to deal with this situation.
"Bang bang bang!"
At this moment, there was a knock on the captain's door outside.
Edwina hesitated for a long time, but finally got up and went to the door and opened it.
"Snapped!"
The moment the door opened, three figures staggered and fell into the captain's room.
But Edwina seemed to have been prepared for a long time, so she flashed lightly, so that she was not bumped into by the three of them.
"captain."
The expressions of the three officers were a little embarrassed, and they greeted each other with a smile.
"Bru."
Edwina looked at the three of them and told them, "Let the sailors change course, we won't go to Sonia Island."
"Not going to Sonia Island? Then where?"
Bruce asked strangely with a surprised face.
Edwina was silent for a moment, her red lips parted slightly, and she uttered a word.
"Pritz Harbor."
"hiss!"
The three officers took a breath at the same time, and the 'flower tie' said incredulously, "Captain, are you wrong? Even if there is no such thing, we are still wanted criminals in Loen Kingdom! The whole ship Adding up the bounties of people, there must be at least a hundred thousand pounds, right?"
"That's right, Captain! Isn't it a self-inflicted trap to go to Pritz Harbor?"
"Captain, do you want to think about it?"
"Tell the sailors that if you don't want to go, you can disembark now."
Edwina, who originally respected the crew's wishes very much, was very tough at the moment, and said firmly, "This is not far from Sonia Island, and it can be reached by a small boat. But the Golden Dream is my ship, and I must go to Pritz Harbor." !"
The three officers looked at each other, and they all knew that the captain would definitely not listen to the advice at this time.
"Do you want an excuse to go to the Pirate Convention?"
The first mate, Bruce, hesitated for a moment and suggested.
"Do not."
Edwina shook her head lightly, "Tell them the truth."
Bruce hesitated to speak, but chose to remain silent.
Because he knew the captain had always been like this.
"Okay, I'll go and inform them, but I won't get off the boat."
Orpheus took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
After speaking, he turned and left, preparing to inform the sailors.
Although Hua Bowtie looked troubled at the moment, she didn't say she wanted to leave.
He just sighed helplessly, and also turned around and walked out of the captain's room.
Edwina looked at the backs of the three officers, her delicate faces were full of worry.
Although Sunyahai belongs to the Feysac Empire, in fact it is extremely far away from the capital of the Feysac Empire.
Because this island was originally occupied by the Loen Kingdom, it was only in the "Twenty Years War" that the Loen Kingdom suffered a tragic defeat, so Sonia Island had to be handed over to the Fusac Empire.
Therefore, the distance between Sonia Island and the capital of the Loen Kingdom is much closer than the distance between the capital of the Feysac Empire.
Sonia Island is even less than a day's flight from the closest place to the Kingdom of Loen.
And if one wanted to travel from Sonia Island to Pritz Harbor of the Loen Kingdom, the nearest place would only take less than four days.
Based on where they are now, it probably only takes less than a week.
It will take at least half a month for Ember to travel from Tuscatel Island to Pritz Harbor.
And if the ship stops at a place like Bayam for supplies, it will delay a few more days.
And counting the time it took them to come to Sonia Sea after parting with Ember, it was about eighteen days.
In other words.
If we start now, there is still hope to intercept the opponent before Pritz Harbor!
"It should be in time."
Edwina murmured in a low voice.
Although the teacher has awakened, it is impossible for her to leave the painting world and come in person in her state.
The headquarters of the Church of Knowledge is in Lunburg, and it would take at least a month to send someone over even now.
Therefore, now only she has the chance to save everything!
"Huh! I hope I can catch up."
……
Backlund, 117 Burningham Road, Hillston District.
"Lover should be embers, so could justice be Miss Audrey?"
Xio sat on the single sofa on the side, carefully analyzing the information of the members of the Tarot Society.
"Fors, what do you think?"
Xio hesitated and turned his questioning gaze to Forsi who was on the main sofa.
"What are you thinking so much about?"
Fors lay on the sofa bored, her voice was as soft as if she hadn't eaten, "It doesn't matter, do you still want to confront Miss Audrey?"
"I was serious."
Xio gave her a blank look, and said angrily, "Didn't you write detective novels? Analyze it for me!"
"Ok."
Fors sighed lightly, and sat down from the sofa.
The original lazy temperament was swept away at once, and seriousness was written on his face.
"If I have to analyze it,"
Forsi thought about it carefully, and said firmly, "Miss Justice must be Miss Audrey. After all, I only know Miss Audrey as a blond noble lady. If you want other evidence,
Forsi paused for a moment, then continued, "Although 'Justice' deliberately made some disguises, her voice is still very similar to Miss Audrey."
"The most obvious one is Bakerland, the ambassador of the Republic of Intis. You must know that Miss Audrey personally entrusted us to find Mr. A. This cannot be explained by coincidence."
"Although there are also cases where Ms. Justice is actually a noble friend of another Ms. Audrey. She asked Ms. Audrey to entrust us to find Mr. A to assassinate the ambassador."
"But it's very unlikely, isn't it?"
"And if I'm not mistaken, Miss Justice should be invited by Ember just like us."
"But……"
Xio felt that what Fors said was reasonable, but she still asked with some doubts, "The extraordinary materials that Miss 'Justice' purchased at the Tarot Society all cost seven hundred pounds, which is the price of Sequence 7 extraordinary materials."
"In other words, she is at least a Sequence 8 Extraordinary."
"But Miss Audrey has only been a Extraordinary for a short time, probably less than a month..."
"It's fake."
Forsi rolled her eyes, "It is very likely that when we met Miss Audrey, she was already a Beyonder. The reason why she still asked us to buy the 'spectator' potion may be to cover up the Tarot will exist."
"Although this will cause her to spend an extra 200 pounds to buy potions repeatedly, to Miss Audrey, this small amount of money is nothing at all."
The more Xio listened, the more he felt that it made sense, but his heart became more and more uncertain, and he whispered:
"Then should I continue to collect information on the ruined nobles?"
"The Hugh I know has never been so timid!"
Seeing her friend's hesitation, Fors said helplessly, "And the information you collected may not be as complete as Miss Audrey's. After all, she is a nobleman, and the information she has is definitely much more detailed than yours. .”
"Not necessarily."
Xio was a little unconvinced when he heard this, "The Kingdom doesn't pay much attention to these run-down nobles, and the files they can obtain are only official statements. But my intelligence network can directly start with these run-down nobles themselves, maybe even More detailed than the archives of the kingdom itself?"
"Then do it."
Forsi encouraged, "What's there to be afraid of? Whether we can gain a firm foothold in the Tarot Society depends entirely on you, Hugh!"
"how about you?"
Xio asked a little speechlessly.
"What can I do?"
Forsi said confidently, "I'm neither as powerful as the others, nor like Hugh, who has a wealth of connections and intelligence networks in the Eastern District. But don't worry, I will cheer you on at home."
Xio rolled his eyes and had nothing to say to this salted fish.
……
Backlund, Queens District, the luxurious villa of Earl Hall's family.
"Information about the ruined nobles should be available from the royal coat of arms officials."
Audrey sat on the piano bench, pressed the keys with both hands but did not play, but was slightly distracted.
Every nobleman will have his own coat of arms and family crest, and the royal family will have special officials for records.
Contacting those officials in the name of studying history should not be suspected.
"but……"
Audrey hesitated.
Yesterday's Tarot Society revealed many things.
She also had the idea of pulling Miss Fors and Miss Hugh above the gray mist, but she didn't expect it to be so fast.
They should have realized that they are 'justice'.
Well, the identity of Mr. 'Lover' should have been exposed.
But that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Because of this.
Except for Mister Fool, there are a total of seven Tarot Club members.
And the four of them can form a small group, which may have a great advantage...
"Ah~ Audrey... what are you thinking, Audrey!"
Audrey suddenly blushed, and hurriedly shook her head to put these distracting thoughts behind her.
The Tarot Club was established by Mr. Fool for their convenience. It was originally for everyone to help each other. How could she think of forming a clique in the Tarot Club?
It's really wrong to have such a thought.
To have such blasphemous thoughts, one must pray to the gods.
"Hmm~"
Audrey thought about it, but suddenly hesitated.
Should she pray to Mr. Fool, or should she pray to the Evernight Goddess?
……
City of Silver.
Derrick sat on the bed with a troubled expression.
On the one hand, he obtained the magic medicine formula of the praying light man from Mr. World.
In addition, his own potion has been digested, so he should be promoted soon.
So he thought that he could accumulate merits and rewards first, and obtain the two main ingredients of the praying light man's potion formula from the official or private trading market of the City of Silver.
According to the original plan, he should be able to obtain the main material just when the potion is digested, so that he can be seamlessly promoted to a Sequence 8 praying man.
But on the other hand, Derrick felt a bit uneasy about his conscience.
After all, Mister World had already given him the potion formula, and he had paid an extra 150 pounds to pay off his debt.
But the root of the Misty Treant he promised had to wait for him to be promoted to a light praying man first.
It only made Derrick feel a sense of guilt of 'just give the other party some money after eating nothing'.
That's why he was entangled in whether to obtain the main material of the praying man first, or to help Mr. World obtain the roots and juice of the misty treant.
"perhaps……"
Derrick struggled for a while, and whispered hesitantly, "Can I borrow some from my friends first?"
The plan proposed by Miss Audrey inspired him.
He doesn't have enough feats to obtain all the extraordinary materials, but if he can borrow them from his friends, it should be enough.
In this way, it may be possible to give him what Mr. World needs in the next Tarot meeting.
……
The Blue Avenger slowly sailed away from Bayam and entered the vast sea area.
In the captain's room, Alger pointed to the spread out map, and said concisely,
"We now have two roads, one is to go directly north, but there is a certain chance that we will be chased and blocked."
"The other route is to bypass the Sea of Madness. This will increase the voyage by four or five days, but it's better to be safe."
"Then the second one."
Ember glanced at Alger, and said casually, "Be safe."
"Row."
Alger heaved a sigh of relief, because he was also planning to use the second route, first going around the Sea of Violence.
The Sonia Sea is to the east of the North and South Continents, and the Wild Sea is located between the South and North Continents, so these two oceans are actually connected.
Even the southernmost island of the Rorsted Archipelago is less than a day's flight away from the Sea of Madness.
If you want to travel from the northern continent to the southern continent, the Sea of Madness is undoubtedly the shortest way.
But all along, the Sea of Violence has been known for its many natural disasters and countless dangerous currents.
As long as an ordinary ship accidentally strays into it, there is a high probability that the ship will be destroyed and people will die.
Therefore, most people would rather go to the Misty Sea in the west of the North and South Continents, or the Sunya Sea in the east.
Even pirates will not easily set foot in the waters of the Sea of Madness——
Unless they hold a safe channel that can sail in the violent sea.
Fortunately, Alger happened to have such a channel in his hands.
This is also the reason why he dared to take a detour from the violent sea.
And even if someone is really chasing them, even if the person chasing them happens to have a channel that allows them to safely enter and exit the Sea of Madness.
But the channel they mastered may not be the same as the channel in Alger's hands.
Just like what Emperor Roselle said: A slight difference is a thousand miles away.
Once they entered the Sea of Madness, it was impossible for anyone to catch up with them.
……
"What about people?"
On Bayam's pier, Senor asked while suppressing his anger.
"Just left an hour ago."
The man in the black windbreaker glanced at Senor, took out his pocket watch, and then said slowly, "If you chase now, you should still be able to catch up."
Senor's face was extremely gloomy, and he asked coldly, "Then what ship did he drive? Where did he go?"
"do not know."
The man in the windbreaker said calmly, "It's just an ordinary sailboat with white sails. How can I recognize what kind of boat it is? As for where to go, it should be Backlund."
"you sure?"
Senor asked in a deep voice.
Even if you don't know how the other party's captain is, it's not bad to know the other party's destination.
At least there is still a chance to intercept the opponent.
This is the guidance of the oracle, and he dare not be vague no matter what.
"uncertain."
The man in the windbreaker shrugged, "I'll just make a random guess, believe it if you want, and don't blame me if I guess wrong."
Senor's eyes were abnormally cold, as if he wanted to choose someone and devour him.
But the expression of the man in the windbreaker was still extremely calm, as if he couldn't feel Senor's raging killing intent at all.
Senor's expression was extremely gloomy, but in the end he still didn't choose to do anything.
He just took a deep breath, turned around and boarded his flagship, and ordered coldly, "Set sail, go to Tiana Island, maybe there is still a chance to stop them."
"captain."
The second officer, 'Steel' Maveti, stepped forward and said cautiously, "Is this news reliable? Do you want to ask other people? There should be quite a few people on the pier who have seen the appearance of the God Envoy..."
"Are you teaching me what to do?"
Senor glanced at him indifferently, and said coldly.
"Don't dare."
Mevity's body trembled suddenly, and he said in panic, "I'll go and order the sailors to set sail."
Senior looked away, looking at the man in the windbreaker who was smiling and waving to him on the pier, his eyes were cold.
Of course he knew that he could find someone else to ask.
But he knew better that he didn't have time.
If the other party's destination is Backlund, he must be stopped before the other party reaches Pritz Harbor.
It's been an hour late now.
As long as the speed of the opponent's ship is not too fast, there may not be no hope of catching up.
But if you delay for a few more hours, it will only be more difficult to catch up with the opponent.
And when the other party arrives at Bancy Island or even Damir Island, his hope will only become more and more bleak.
At that time, even if God will not punish him for it.
Lord Jax will not let him go!
So he can only make mistakes and search along the route to Backlund first.
Even if he still failed to catch up with him by then, or simply chased him in the wrong direction at the beginning, since the other party was not actually going to Backlund, there was still room for redress.
Because he can also be said to be Odell's problem.
It was the false information given by Odell that made him go wrong.
But no matter how he chooses, it's better than staying where he is and waiting foolishly.
Didn't he know that it would be better to wait for more accurate information from the Investigation Department before setting off?
But that is impossible.
Senior is well aware of the temperament of the man in the windbreaker and the people behind him, because this is not the first time they have 'cooperated'.
Since the other party dared to sell information to him, he would definitely ensure that it was an 'exclusive information'.
Even if it wasn't before, it is now.
Even if someone had seen the ship, or even remembered the appearance of the ship, he and the people behind him must have dealt with it from beginning to end.
In this case, even if he stayed at the pier to investigate for another day, there would be no clues.
So he chose to leave.
Search along the main channel first, and send people to investigate secretly during this period.
After all, although he left, Odell was still in Bayam.
Odell's intelligence network will continue to track down the envoy's whereabouts and inform him of the information through the radio in time.
At that time, if the course goes wrong, he can also adjust in time——
Because this is Bayam, as long as the other party is not going to Backlund, they can only go deep into the Sonia Sea or the Mad Sea.
Either way, he has plenty of time to adjust.
(End of this chapter)
"..."
Patch was a little speechless, so he had to continue talking along the topic, "What I can tell you is very limited. You put out the fire... well, after usurping the fire, the world fell into darkness. But fortunately, most people have successfully transferred to painting. The world, waiting for the day when the world will be bright again. Well, if there is one day."
Patch shrugged and said indifferently, "I didn't see it anyway, but I just don't care."
"I don't think I'd invite you."
Yu glanced at Patch and said calmly.
Although there is no relevant memory, but——
Even if he invited a dog into the painting world, he would never invite Patch!
"really."
Patch nodded, and said with a serious face, "I don't think you will invite me, and I'm really sad that I didn't receive your invitation..."
Patch changed the subject and smiled, "So I chose to do it myself and sneak in."
"And then you saw it too."
Patch spread his hands and sighed, "I was kicked out, and I never went back. Everyone rejected me, as if I had offended them."
"But it's also for this reason that I don't know anything about the situation in the painting world."
As Patch spoke, he complained again and again.
"You should really take care of them. How can I say that I am your good brother too? You are their king, how can I be considered a prince, right? You actually kicked me out as a prince..."
Patch's voice stopped abruptly, because the great sword was already on his neck.
"Okay, I won't say anything."
Patch shrank his neck conscientiously.
Ember didn't cut it down directly, because he planned to ask a few more questions.
"You are asking about our whereabouts?"
"Yes, and no."
Even with the knife resting on his neck, Patch still looked cheap, and said with a chuckle, "I just heard that someone was looking for you, so I just looked for you."
"As for the group of people who first looked for you, it was 'Silver Coin Viper' Odell. And the people behind him are most likely members of the Rose School of Thought."
"But don't worry, I didn't tell Odell your information."
"and also……"
Patch paused, then suddenly took out a gold coin with rust spots and threw it to Ember.
"Snapped!"
Ember held the sword with one hand, and caught the rusty gold coin with the other.
[Ancient gold coins with rust spots.
After being crushed, it can temporarily greatly improve the treasure hunting ability.
Those who lose wealth will one day encounter even greater wealth.
That being the case, wouldn't the more you lose, the better? 】
"Can you let me go?"
Patch looked at Ember sincerely, and when he saw that Ember was unmoved, he changed his face and threatened, "If you don't agree, I will kneel down!"
"..."
Alger was a little puzzled listening to the conversation between the two, but when he heard the last sentence that Paqi said with a fierce face, he almost froze.
But upon hearing this, Ember suddenly put away her weapon, and walked over him towards the Youlan Avenger.
Seeing this, Alger followed immediately, and at the same time began to communicate with Youlan Avenger.
Let this ghost ship come alive.
Soon, the anchor was tightened with the friction of the chain, and the white sail was automatically unfolded without anyone controlling it.
Under the blowing of the wind, the Blue Avenger slowly left the port with its two passengers on board.
Patch was still squatting in the port, squinting at the ghost ship going away.
"I am very simple and unrestrained."
"There's nothing to gain and nothing to lose, so I've lived to this day."
"but you……"
"I've seen people like you, time and time again..."
"It's pathetic that you want to save everyone, but you can't even save yourself."
"The more you help, the more you lose."
"Will you raise your all for honor? Or give up what you have?"
"I'll never understand what drives you guys."
"Is it a thirst for knowledge? A divine mission? Or pure vengeance?"
"No matter what, you are shouldering a mission beyond your own capabilities."
"After passing all the trials, realize that...you are qualified after all."
"Even the gods despair and evade responsibility."
"The first fire will die, and the abyss will seize your courage."
"You hold the burning embers in your hands, you face the end, and you always believe in yourself even when you are deceived."
"There's only one thing I don't understand..."
"why?"
"never mind."
He shook his head, his tone was extremely relaxed, "That's not what I care about."
He's just an ordinary undead man.
Whether it is spreading fire or tampering with fire, whether it is conspiracy or trickery, or confronting the gods.
All this has nothing to do with him after all.
He is an outsider after all.
Just like how even if he entered the world of painting by chance, he was still discovered and expelled in the end——
Really, is it supposed to be a hometown for those who are forbidden and those who have lost everything?
Did you agree that this is the last shelter?
Doesn't he even have the qualifications to be an aboriginal?
Gan!
Patch cursed angrily in his heart.
"Boss, what are we going to do next?"
Not long after the Youlan Avenger left the port, a figure in a black windbreaker quietly came behind Patch and asked respectfully.
Patch suddenly turned his head and said leisurely, "Go and inform Odell, and tell him that we have found the man with ten rings."
"This……"
The person behind him looked surprised, and asked with a strange expression, "Didn't you tell us not to inform Odell, boss?"
Patch came to meet people without telling Odell and the others. He thought that he should cover up his whereabouts for the other party to avoid being followed by Odell and the people behind him, but who would have thought that Patch would actually say such a thing.
"I changed my mind."
Patch stood up and smiled, "Who am I? I'm the indomitable Patch!"
"I thought you were friends..."
"Friend? That's right, but it doesn't stop me from doing anything, does it?"
Patch paused, but just shrugged and said leisurely.
"No matter how the dynasties change, human desires remain the same.
This is really difficult for me who has no desires and desires to understand. "
……
"Is there anything you want to ask?"
On the deck of Youlan Avenger, Ember suddenly asked.
"No, it's just..."
Alger shook his head, "I thought you were friends."
"friend?"
Ember shook her head expressionlessly, "Being friends with him, you have to be careful that you may be tricked by him at any time. Let me give you a piece of advice, never trust Patch."
"You don't believe what he told you just now?"
Alger was slightly surprised, with a strange expression.
"of course."
Ember said calmly, "Be careful, the road ahead may not be too peaceful."
As he said that, Ember suddenly threw a gold coin to Alger.
Alger stretched out his hand to catch it, and Dingqing saw that the gold coin was very old.
Not only are there a lot of rust spots attached to the surface, but even the arcs of the corners are also bumped a lot, which looks extremely rough.
On the surface of the gold coin is a woman with her back and wings, whose face cannot be seen clearly.
Alger found the correspondence of this image almost instantly——
Angel.
From the perspective of Beyonders, Beyonders above Sequence 2 are called angels.
Alger had never seen a real angel, but he had an intuition that these angels should look like ordinary people.
After all, they are all raised step by step from the low sequence. There is no reason to suddenly turn into another race with their backs and wings when they reach sequence 2, right?
Of course, in the classics of major religions, angels serving gods are always in this image.
And some even have more than one pair of wings, the highest-ranking angels even have 12 pairs of wings!
For ordinary people, these angels are the incarnations of gods.They believe in its existence and are extremely devout.
And although Alger had doubts about the authenticity of these religious classics, he had no doubts about the strength of the angels.
In any case, angels are absolute symbols of strength within the major religions!
But right now, the gold coin that Ember threw to him seemed ordinary.
But Alger intuited that it was definitely not that simple!
"This thing..."
Alger hesitated.
"Send it to you."
Ember waved his hand and said, "Crush it when necessary, and it can temporarily greatly increase your luck."
Rusty coins, rusty gold coins, he has too many of these things.
There is no room for the soul.
"A one-time magical item? Or, is it some kind of spell?"
Alger was a little surprised, the ones that can increase luck are all monster sequences.
And at least it's also Sequence 7, maybe even Sequence 5.
Such an important thing just give it away?
and.
According to his knowledge of embers,
After all, most of the opponent's magical items have no side effects.
Those with side effects are also spoils.
At the same time, Alger became more and more curious about Ember's identity.
"What is the identity of Mr. 'Lover'?"
"Judging from his conversation with the man named 'Patch', they should have known each other very early."
"And 'Patch' seems to come from the world of painting, but was driven out by the master of the world of painting."
"Also, he seems to have the property of 'immortality'. Because he seems to have been killed by 'lovers' many times?"
"So is that why 'lovers' are so dismissive of sacrifice rings?"
"Because he can't die?"
"But what sequence ability is this? What sequence can have the ability of immortality?"
"This is no longer the domain of mortals, even ordinary demigods! Otherwise, no demigods will fall."
"But anyway, even for a high-sequence Extraordinary, immortality would be too exaggerated, right?"
"Also, Mister Fool, how much does he know about 'Lover'?"
"Mr. Fool should know a lot. He invited 'Lover' to join the Tarot Society because of his uniqueness."
"..."
Alger was full of doubts in his heart, and he really wanted to find out.
But he has always been very sensible, knowing that asking questions rashly will only embarrass him.
After all, Ember has no obligation to answer his questions.
"never mind."
Alger shook his head, putting these distracting thoughts behind him.
If Ember wanted him to know, she would have told him long ago.
Since the other party didn't say anything, he didn't need to keep struggling.
Instead of thinking about these impossible questions, it is better to think more about the status quo.
Ember says that 'Patch' cannot be trusted, which means he will betray both of himself.
Although I don't understand why Ember didn't kill him.
But these are not the issues he should consider. What he should think about is the consequences of being betrayed.
And if what 'Patch' said was true, it was 'Silver Serpent' Odell who was investigating them.
So, who hired the 'Silver Coin Viper' to investigate?
Is it really the Rose School as Patch said?
Alger's eyes moved slightly.
He knew 'Silver Coin Viper' Odell, a well-known information dealer.
He has dealings with a large number of pirates, but is not a pirate himself.
I have never been on the bounty, and the bounty has been zero so far.
Although the 'Silver Coin Viper' claims to be the owner of the Dawn and serves as the 'Queen of Mysteries', one of the kings of the five seas, this can only deceive fools.
But anyone who knows something about it knows that it is impossible for this kind of intelligence dealer to serve only one person alone.
What's more, Alger thought that they should have nothing to do with the 'Queen of Mysteries'.
The biggest possibility is still the royal family of Loen.
But that doesn't make sense either.
Although the Rorsted Islands are just colonies, they are still under the control of the Kingdom of Loen.
If they are looking for someone, they can do it themselves.
And if it's not the Loen Kingdom, if it's really the Rose School of Thought.
But what did the other party do with Ember?
They only arrived in Bayam yesterday, so they should have nothing to do with the Rose School of Thought!
But anyway, it is always right to be careful.
……
The city of generosity, Bayam.
In a villa not far from the Governor's Mansion.
'Silver Coin Viper' Odell walked up the stairs and cautiously came to a bedroom on the second floor.
He knocked on the door with a slightly trembling body, and said in an unsteady voice:
"Master Senior, I may have information about the person you are looking for."
"Snapped!"
The door of the bedroom was quickly opened, and the naked Senor appeared in front of him.
Even though he was naked, Senor's attitude was still aggressive.
"where?"
Senior didn't care that this was Odell's house, and asked in a condescending tone.
"He has left Bayam."
Odell said something, fearing that Senor might misunderstand, and explained, "I also just received the information that someone saw the man wearing ten rings at the port."
"But before he could see the man's face clearly, the other party had already left by boat."
"Whose ship?"
Senor asked in a deep voice.
"do not know."
Odell looked a little nervous, and hurriedly said, "That ship has white sails, so it's hard to tell which side it belongs to."
"waste!"
Senior's face was gloomy, and his light brown eyes swept over Odell's face coldly, making this well-known adventurer lower his head.
Senor snorted coldly.
But after all, Odell was still useful, and he didn't kill him.
He just picked up the clothes scattered on the floor, and walked downstairs while putting them on.
During this period, Odell stood there with his head down.
Until Senor pushed open the door and completely disappeared into the villa.
Odell breathed a sigh of relief silently, and looked into the house through the open door.
A woman with a graceful figure, delicate face but no hair was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly. The bruises on her body showed that she was tortured enough last night.
There was a peculiar smell of heather in the house, and the lady had this smile of contented happiness on her face.
This woman is Odell's mistress Vivienne.
But it was not Odell who spent the evening with her last night.
A flash of anger flashed in Odell's eyes, he turned and walked into the room, closing the door by the way.
"Bitch! If I can't deal with him, I can't deal with you?"
……
Sunya Sea, north of the Gargas Islands.
A sailboat tens of meters long, clean and tidy, with a golden color reflected in the sun, is riding the wind and waves, rushing out of the dangerous sea area and advancing into the nearby safe channel.
And when the people on the boat noticed the looming land in the distance, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After ten days of sailing, they finally arrived at Sonia Island.
In order to avoid possible searches by the Loen Kingdom, they didn't even dare to take the safe route.
Instead, they walked the violent and dangerous sea all the way, just to reach Sonia Island as much as possible.
Although the Kingdom of Loen might not necessarily trouble them.
But it's always right to be careful.
"As long as we can reach Sonia Island, the eagle dogs of the Loen Kingdom will not dare to trouble us!"
"Hahahaha, Loen Kingdom, that's all!"
Danitz seemed to be elated, standing on the deck of the bow and laughing loudly.
And the sailors around seemed to have gotten used to it, turning a blind eye to his mad behavior.
not to mention.
Their mood at this time was almost the same as that of Danis.
In order to avoid the possible pursuit of the Loen Kingdom, they have been worried for a long time.
"Speaking of which, it seems that the captain hasn't come out for a long time."
The second officer Orpheus touched his chin and asked a little strangely, "Is there anything wrong?"
"I gonna go see."
The three pairs of floral bow ties moved slightly, and said immediately.
"roll."
The first mate, Blue, and the second mate, Orpheus, spoke in unison, and Orpheus kicked him by the way.
At the same time, inside the captain's room of the Golden Dream.
A beautiful lady with an oval face, a straight nose, and thin lips, but her delicate face is full of tangles at this moment.
Those light blue eyes that were originally as clear as spring water were also filled with embarrassment.
Just entering the safe passage today, she received good news and bad news.
The good news is.
Teacher Kelana wrote back to her, which means that Teacher Kelana has woken up from a long slumber.
This is a good thing.
The bad news is that Mrs. Clara told her in the letter that she must bring the 'Ash Black' she picked up to Lunburg.
Even Teacher Ke LaNa specially called out their names, absolutely absolutely not passing through the sphere of influence of the Loen Kingdom!
Don't go into the Sunya Sea, let alone the Violent Sea——
It is necessary to pass through the Feysac Empire from the North Sea, detour to the Misty Sea and return to Lunburg.
But the problem is.
Is there a possibility, I mean possible.
Had Ash Black disembarked at Tuscat Island ten days earlier?
"..."
The lady's beautiful face is full of tangles, and she doesn't know how to deal with this situation.
"Bang bang bang!"
At this moment, there was a knock on the captain's door outside.
Edwina hesitated for a long time, but finally got up and went to the door and opened it.
"Snapped!"
The moment the door opened, three figures staggered and fell into the captain's room.
But Edwina seemed to have been prepared for a long time, so she flashed lightly, so that she was not bumped into by the three of them.
"captain."
The expressions of the three officers were a little embarrassed, and they greeted each other with a smile.
"Bru."
Edwina looked at the three of them and told them, "Let the sailors change course, we won't go to Sonia Island."
"Not going to Sonia Island? Then where?"
Bruce asked strangely with a surprised face.
Edwina was silent for a moment, her red lips parted slightly, and she uttered a word.
"Pritz Harbor."
"hiss!"
The three officers took a breath at the same time, and the 'flower tie' said incredulously, "Captain, are you wrong? Even if there is no such thing, we are still wanted criminals in Loen Kingdom! The whole ship Adding up the bounties of people, there must be at least a hundred thousand pounds, right?"
"That's right, Captain! Isn't it a self-inflicted trap to go to Pritz Harbor?"
"Captain, do you want to think about it?"
"Tell the sailors that if you don't want to go, you can disembark now."
Edwina, who originally respected the crew's wishes very much, was very tough at the moment, and said firmly, "This is not far from Sonia Island, and it can be reached by a small boat. But the Golden Dream is my ship, and I must go to Pritz Harbor." !"
The three officers looked at each other, and they all knew that the captain would definitely not listen to the advice at this time.
"Do you want an excuse to go to the Pirate Convention?"
The first mate, Bruce, hesitated for a moment and suggested.
"Do not."
Edwina shook her head lightly, "Tell them the truth."
Bruce hesitated to speak, but chose to remain silent.
Because he knew the captain had always been like this.
"Okay, I'll go and inform them, but I won't get off the boat."
Orpheus took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
After speaking, he turned and left, preparing to inform the sailors.
Although Hua Bowtie looked troubled at the moment, she didn't say she wanted to leave.
He just sighed helplessly, and also turned around and walked out of the captain's room.
Edwina looked at the backs of the three officers, her delicate faces were full of worry.
Although Sunyahai belongs to the Feysac Empire, in fact it is extremely far away from the capital of the Feysac Empire.
Because this island was originally occupied by the Loen Kingdom, it was only in the "Twenty Years War" that the Loen Kingdom suffered a tragic defeat, so Sonia Island had to be handed over to the Fusac Empire.
Therefore, the distance between Sonia Island and the capital of the Loen Kingdom is much closer than the distance between the capital of the Feysac Empire.
Sonia Island is even less than a day's flight from the closest place to the Kingdom of Loen.
And if one wanted to travel from Sonia Island to Pritz Harbor of the Loen Kingdom, the nearest place would only take less than four days.
Based on where they are now, it probably only takes less than a week.
It will take at least half a month for Ember to travel from Tuscatel Island to Pritz Harbor.
And if the ship stops at a place like Bayam for supplies, it will delay a few more days.
And counting the time it took them to come to Sonia Sea after parting with Ember, it was about eighteen days.
In other words.
If we start now, there is still hope to intercept the opponent before Pritz Harbor!
"It should be in time."
Edwina murmured in a low voice.
Although the teacher has awakened, it is impossible for her to leave the painting world and come in person in her state.
The headquarters of the Church of Knowledge is in Lunburg, and it would take at least a month to send someone over even now.
Therefore, now only she has the chance to save everything!
"Huh! I hope I can catch up."
……
Backlund, 117 Burningham Road, Hillston District.
"Lover should be embers, so could justice be Miss Audrey?"
Xio sat on the single sofa on the side, carefully analyzing the information of the members of the Tarot Society.
"Fors, what do you think?"
Xio hesitated and turned his questioning gaze to Forsi who was on the main sofa.
"What are you thinking so much about?"
Fors lay on the sofa bored, her voice was as soft as if she hadn't eaten, "It doesn't matter, do you still want to confront Miss Audrey?"
"I was serious."
Xio gave her a blank look, and said angrily, "Didn't you write detective novels? Analyze it for me!"
"Ok."
Fors sighed lightly, and sat down from the sofa.
The original lazy temperament was swept away at once, and seriousness was written on his face.
"If I have to analyze it,"
Forsi thought about it carefully, and said firmly, "Miss Justice must be Miss Audrey. After all, I only know Miss Audrey as a blond noble lady. If you want other evidence,
Forsi paused for a moment, then continued, "Although 'Justice' deliberately made some disguises, her voice is still very similar to Miss Audrey."
"The most obvious one is Bakerland, the ambassador of the Republic of Intis. You must know that Miss Audrey personally entrusted us to find Mr. A. This cannot be explained by coincidence."
"Although there are also cases where Ms. Justice is actually a noble friend of another Ms. Audrey. She asked Ms. Audrey to entrust us to find Mr. A to assassinate the ambassador."
"But it's very unlikely, isn't it?"
"And if I'm not mistaken, Miss Justice should be invited by Ember just like us."
"But……"
Xio felt that what Fors said was reasonable, but she still asked with some doubts, "The extraordinary materials that Miss 'Justice' purchased at the Tarot Society all cost seven hundred pounds, which is the price of Sequence 7 extraordinary materials."
"In other words, she is at least a Sequence 8 Extraordinary."
"But Miss Audrey has only been a Extraordinary for a short time, probably less than a month..."
"It's fake."
Forsi rolled her eyes, "It is very likely that when we met Miss Audrey, she was already a Beyonder. The reason why she still asked us to buy the 'spectator' potion may be to cover up the Tarot will exist."
"Although this will cause her to spend an extra 200 pounds to buy potions repeatedly, to Miss Audrey, this small amount of money is nothing at all."
The more Xio listened, the more he felt that it made sense, but his heart became more and more uncertain, and he whispered:
"Then should I continue to collect information on the ruined nobles?"
"The Hugh I know has never been so timid!"
Seeing her friend's hesitation, Fors said helplessly, "And the information you collected may not be as complete as Miss Audrey's. After all, she is a nobleman, and the information she has is definitely much more detailed than yours. .”
"Not necessarily."
Xio was a little unconvinced when he heard this, "The Kingdom doesn't pay much attention to these run-down nobles, and the files they can obtain are only official statements. But my intelligence network can directly start with these run-down nobles themselves, maybe even More detailed than the archives of the kingdom itself?"
"Then do it."
Forsi encouraged, "What's there to be afraid of? Whether we can gain a firm foothold in the Tarot Society depends entirely on you, Hugh!"
"how about you?"
Xio asked a little speechlessly.
"What can I do?"
Forsi said confidently, "I'm neither as powerful as the others, nor like Hugh, who has a wealth of connections and intelligence networks in the Eastern District. But don't worry, I will cheer you on at home."
Xio rolled his eyes and had nothing to say to this salted fish.
……
Backlund, Queens District, the luxurious villa of Earl Hall's family.
"Information about the ruined nobles should be available from the royal coat of arms officials."
Audrey sat on the piano bench, pressed the keys with both hands but did not play, but was slightly distracted.
Every nobleman will have his own coat of arms and family crest, and the royal family will have special officials for records.
Contacting those officials in the name of studying history should not be suspected.
"but……"
Audrey hesitated.
Yesterday's Tarot Society revealed many things.
She also had the idea of pulling Miss Fors and Miss Hugh above the gray mist, but she didn't expect it to be so fast.
They should have realized that they are 'justice'.
Well, the identity of Mr. 'Lover' should have been exposed.
But that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Because of this.
Except for Mister Fool, there are a total of seven Tarot Club members.
And the four of them can form a small group, which may have a great advantage...
"Ah~ Audrey... what are you thinking, Audrey!"
Audrey suddenly blushed, and hurriedly shook her head to put these distracting thoughts behind her.
The Tarot Club was established by Mr. Fool for their convenience. It was originally for everyone to help each other. How could she think of forming a clique in the Tarot Club?
It's really wrong to have such a thought.
To have such blasphemous thoughts, one must pray to the gods.
"Hmm~"
Audrey thought about it, but suddenly hesitated.
Should she pray to Mr. Fool, or should she pray to the Evernight Goddess?
……
City of Silver.
Derrick sat on the bed with a troubled expression.
On the one hand, he obtained the magic medicine formula of the praying light man from Mr. World.
In addition, his own potion has been digested, so he should be promoted soon.
So he thought that he could accumulate merits and rewards first, and obtain the two main ingredients of the praying light man's potion formula from the official or private trading market of the City of Silver.
According to the original plan, he should be able to obtain the main material just when the potion is digested, so that he can be seamlessly promoted to a Sequence 8 praying man.
But on the other hand, Derrick felt a bit uneasy about his conscience.
After all, Mister World had already given him the potion formula, and he had paid an extra 150 pounds to pay off his debt.
But the root of the Misty Treant he promised had to wait for him to be promoted to a light praying man first.
It only made Derrick feel a sense of guilt of 'just give the other party some money after eating nothing'.
That's why he was entangled in whether to obtain the main material of the praying man first, or to help Mr. World obtain the roots and juice of the misty treant.
"perhaps……"
Derrick struggled for a while, and whispered hesitantly, "Can I borrow some from my friends first?"
The plan proposed by Miss Audrey inspired him.
He doesn't have enough feats to obtain all the extraordinary materials, but if he can borrow them from his friends, it should be enough.
In this way, it may be possible to give him what Mr. World needs in the next Tarot meeting.
……
The Blue Avenger slowly sailed away from Bayam and entered the vast sea area.
In the captain's room, Alger pointed to the spread out map, and said concisely,
"We now have two roads, one is to go directly north, but there is a certain chance that we will be chased and blocked."
"The other route is to bypass the Sea of Madness. This will increase the voyage by four or five days, but it's better to be safe."
"Then the second one."
Ember glanced at Alger, and said casually, "Be safe."
"Row."
Alger heaved a sigh of relief, because he was also planning to use the second route, first going around the Sea of Violence.
The Sonia Sea is to the east of the North and South Continents, and the Wild Sea is located between the South and North Continents, so these two oceans are actually connected.
Even the southernmost island of the Rorsted Archipelago is less than a day's flight away from the Sea of Madness.
If you want to travel from the northern continent to the southern continent, the Sea of Madness is undoubtedly the shortest way.
But all along, the Sea of Violence has been known for its many natural disasters and countless dangerous currents.
As long as an ordinary ship accidentally strays into it, there is a high probability that the ship will be destroyed and people will die.
Therefore, most people would rather go to the Misty Sea in the west of the North and South Continents, or the Sunya Sea in the east.
Even pirates will not easily set foot in the waters of the Sea of Madness——
Unless they hold a safe channel that can sail in the violent sea.
Fortunately, Alger happened to have such a channel in his hands.
This is also the reason why he dared to take a detour from the violent sea.
And even if someone is really chasing them, even if the person chasing them happens to have a channel that allows them to safely enter and exit the Sea of Madness.
But the channel they mastered may not be the same as the channel in Alger's hands.
Just like what Emperor Roselle said: A slight difference is a thousand miles away.
Once they entered the Sea of Madness, it was impossible for anyone to catch up with them.
……
"What about people?"
On Bayam's pier, Senor asked while suppressing his anger.
"Just left an hour ago."
The man in the black windbreaker glanced at Senor, took out his pocket watch, and then said slowly, "If you chase now, you should still be able to catch up."
Senor's face was extremely gloomy, and he asked coldly, "Then what ship did he drive? Where did he go?"
"do not know."
The man in the windbreaker said calmly, "It's just an ordinary sailboat with white sails. How can I recognize what kind of boat it is? As for where to go, it should be Backlund."
"you sure?"
Senor asked in a deep voice.
Even if you don't know how the other party's captain is, it's not bad to know the other party's destination.
At least there is still a chance to intercept the opponent.
This is the guidance of the oracle, and he dare not be vague no matter what.
"uncertain."
The man in the windbreaker shrugged, "I'll just make a random guess, believe it if you want, and don't blame me if I guess wrong."
Senor's eyes were abnormally cold, as if he wanted to choose someone and devour him.
But the expression of the man in the windbreaker was still extremely calm, as if he couldn't feel Senor's raging killing intent at all.
Senor's expression was extremely gloomy, but in the end he still didn't choose to do anything.
He just took a deep breath, turned around and boarded his flagship, and ordered coldly, "Set sail, go to Tiana Island, maybe there is still a chance to stop them."
"captain."
The second officer, 'Steel' Maveti, stepped forward and said cautiously, "Is this news reliable? Do you want to ask other people? There should be quite a few people on the pier who have seen the appearance of the God Envoy..."
"Are you teaching me what to do?"
Senor glanced at him indifferently, and said coldly.
"Don't dare."
Mevity's body trembled suddenly, and he said in panic, "I'll go and order the sailors to set sail."
Senior looked away, looking at the man in the windbreaker who was smiling and waving to him on the pier, his eyes were cold.
Of course he knew that he could find someone else to ask.
But he knew better that he didn't have time.
If the other party's destination is Backlund, he must be stopped before the other party reaches Pritz Harbor.
It's been an hour late now.
As long as the speed of the opponent's ship is not too fast, there may not be no hope of catching up.
But if you delay for a few more hours, it will only be more difficult to catch up with the opponent.
And when the other party arrives at Bancy Island or even Damir Island, his hope will only become more and more bleak.
At that time, even if God will not punish him for it.
Lord Jax will not let him go!
So he can only make mistakes and search along the route to Backlund first.
Even if he still failed to catch up with him by then, or simply chased him in the wrong direction at the beginning, since the other party was not actually going to Backlund, there was still room for redress.
Because he can also be said to be Odell's problem.
It was the false information given by Odell that made him go wrong.
But no matter how he chooses, it's better than staying where he is and waiting foolishly.
Didn't he know that it would be better to wait for more accurate information from the Investigation Department before setting off?
But that is impossible.
Senior is well aware of the temperament of the man in the windbreaker and the people behind him, because this is not the first time they have 'cooperated'.
Since the other party dared to sell information to him, he would definitely ensure that it was an 'exclusive information'.
Even if it wasn't before, it is now.
Even if someone had seen the ship, or even remembered the appearance of the ship, he and the people behind him must have dealt with it from beginning to end.
In this case, even if he stayed at the pier to investigate for another day, there would be no clues.
So he chose to leave.
Search along the main channel first, and send people to investigate secretly during this period.
After all, although he left, Odell was still in Bayam.
Odell's intelligence network will continue to track down the envoy's whereabouts and inform him of the information through the radio in time.
At that time, if the course goes wrong, he can also adjust in time——
Because this is Bayam, as long as the other party is not going to Backlund, they can only go deep into the Sonia Sea or the Mad Sea.
Either way, he has plenty of time to adjust.
