After killing the Bishop of Storm, who had spiraled out of control by sacrificing an evil being, Crane escorted the Blanches and Dimerdo through the windy Bansey Harbor and into the cabin.

He then walked up to Erlan, took out the extraordinary properties of Bishop Miller, and threw it over:

"If there are still 'substitutes' alive, give them back."

A bishop who may have the extraordinary characteristics left behind by Sequence 6 will inevitably be vigorously pursued by the Storm Church, and everyone on the "White Onyx" will be the object of suspicion, and Crane does not want to be wanted by the number one force in the ocean just after going to sea.

Erlan grabbed the thumb-sized mass and glanced at it slightly puzzled.

He didn't ask what it could be used for, and he laughed:

"Don't worry about the Storm Church's investigation, I'll hint at them that you and I are in caliber."

So, I was considered MI9 by the Storm Church? Crane bowed his head slightly, not saying more.

Erlan looked at Daniz next to him and asked tentatively, "Blaze?" ”

"Haha." Daniz laughed dryly, learning to say, "Guess. ”

"Then I don't think so." Erlan tacitly responded.

After a brief explanation, Crane went to the side of the ship and looked out at the misty harbor of Bansey, alerted for hidden dangers.

As the minutes ticked by, the peaks of the mountains on the shore lit up with thunderstorms again. Silvery white and violent lightning swept through it, gradually subsided.

The fog in Bansi Harbor began to dissipate, and the light of the red moon became clearer and clearer.

It's over?

Crane didn't dare to relax completely, and remained on the deck until the clouds burned on the horizon and the sun slowly rose, illuminating the entire harbor.

He saw the residents of the area going out one after another, bathing in the golden sunshine, talking and laughing as they went to their respective jobs.

The port of Bansi has a human breath again.

………

It's really over...... Crane turned back a little confused, ready to wait for the ship to leave to catch up on sleep, and as for Daniz, although he had yawned a long time ago, he did not dare to move when he saw that Gelman Sparrow did not move.

Erlan moved his neck and sighed:

"Last night, I had the amazing feeling that the old Binsey and the modern Bansey Harbour overlapped."

Crane was about to pass the other party like this, but suddenly grasped a word, and asked with a calm expression:

"Bincy?"

"Hehe, this is the ancient name of Banxi Port, three or four hundred years ago, this place was called Binxi Town, and later because of multiple factors such as pronunciation, it gradually evolved into Banxi." Erlan casually introduced.

Bansey, Pennsey? Crane didn't remember either name, so he nodded casually and said goodbye to Ellan to catch up on sleep.

But he naturally had a guess: the results of last night's divination confirmed that there was something terrifying hidden in Bansey Harbor, so he was extremely cautious along the way, did not do any exploration other than rescue, and finally returned to the ship safely within control.

Now that I think about it, the danger of Bansey Harbor may have something to do with the old "Binsey", the strange telegraph office with the smell of blood, the tradition of not opening the door after dark, the priest who was sacrificed by the blood of the bishop, and the local legend of the evil god "God of Weather", ......"Binsey" must be hiding quite a big and dangerous secret, what is the terrifying telegraph office like behind the door?

Compared to the arrival of the "true creator", the unknown, undetonated situation is even more terrifying.

At least Crane couldn't help but imagine what he would see and what would happen if he kicked open the door of the telegraph office, or went around the back and entered through the window

He constantly made up all kinds of weird and terrifying scenes in his head, and scared himself a lot.

It was indeed a wise choice not to disturb them with curiosity.

As a token of his gratitude, Captain Irlan sent a fishman's swim bladder worth 150 pounds, and the two merchants he rescued also received a handsome reward from the children's hands. Crane couldn't help but sigh that the adventurer's business was really good.

When I was still working as a private investigator in Beckland, I didn't know how many daily commissions I had to do to get paid so much.

In order to maintain Gelman's persona, Crane restrained the desire to yawn and rub his eyes. With a straight face, he returned to the first-class cabin of Daniz, which he had requisitioned, ready to catch up on sleep in the soft queen's bed.

The King of Decay sat in the passenger hall of Pritz Harbor, slowly flipping through the Dictionary of the Ancient Giants, which he had not finished reading before.

Published by the Royal Institute of History of the Vorsack Empire, it is quite authoritative, and is currently the best available textbook in the language of the Ancient Giants, a hardcover book, as thick as two bricks. It looks like a weapon, and the price is very good: 18 soles, plus international freight, a total of one and a half pounds.

She used a false identity to buy a first-class ticket to the Rorsted Islands for £35.

When waiting in line to get on the boat, she had no luggage, but she held a very thick and heavy book with one hand to watch, which attracted the attention of other tourists, but as soon as she turned her head, she would forget the person's face, only the thick dictionary.

It takes about a week to sail from Plitz Port to the Rorsted Islands.

Shipping companies that specialize in this type of business charge more, have better overall service, and often call at ports and islands. If you choose to take a yacht on your own way, although it is cheap, the quality of life and travel time are difficult to guarantee.

"The 'Immortal King' Agaritu's Intelligence ......"

The outer god tried to search, but she did not take the channel of the Aurora Society, because the power of the Aurora Society on the sea was mediocre, and there were no people among the four kings and seven generals, so it was difficult to grasp the whereabouts of a pirate king.

Although the "Death Call" must also have a demonic sense to avoid harm, they must not have felt it when the top of the sequence of the same path was used against it.

"Frank is a member of the crew of the 'Star Admiral', and I tried to negotiate with the captain through him to buy information...... It's a pity that it was prevaricated. ”

The courage of the "star general" seems to be unexpectedly small. After Frank finished her request, she began to search for useless knowledge very seriously, finding records of the appearance of the "Immortal King" in the pirate conventions of the past ten years, as well as newspaper reports about the "Immortal King".

But this is all outdated information, what about the movements of the past year, the last six months, the last few months? The star general said I'm very sorry that my strength is low, I'm afraid I can't help you, maybe through this information, I can summarize the law of action of the "Immortal King", and I, a small pirate general, don't dare to find news of the demigods, or you can ask for another master.

is worthy of being a voyeur, and he has the true biography of the hidden sage.

When she asked her to say a "master", she trembled, reluctantly, and gave advice with great fear:

"Perhaps you can enlist the help of the other three pirate kings."

So the outer god first thought of the "mysterious queen", Bernadette Gustav.

Making a deal with Bernadette? It's not impossible.

She has always been very mobile, and when she enters her cabin 323, she closes the door and the curtains are automatically closed, creating a dimly lit room. She lit a candle and read in the ancient Hermetic language:

"The Holy Spirit who chases knowledge,

"A beacon of the mystical world;

"Peeking into the eyes of fate,

"The king of the sea;

"Holy Bernadette Gustaf ......"

She pondered her words, "I want to speak to you and exchange information I need." ”

After repeating the passage twice, she sat down on the couch and continued to look through the dictionary, waiting for a possible response.

……

While responding to the subordinates of Elemental Dawn one by one, Bernadette noticed the strange ...... Or arrogant prayers.

If the prayer is from a low position to a high position, then a statement such as "I pray for your gaze" should be used. The other party's straightforward words undoubtedly imply that the other party's strength and identity are on the same level as himself.

A sage finds himself with purpose. She did not rush to respond, but closed her eyes and spiritually traced the picture of prayer:

In the dimly lit room, a man stands in the hallway, holding a candle in his hand.

The picture became clear, and Bernadette's eyes widened suddenly, the man had no face, no facial features, and his whole face was flat and neat!

A faceless Sage? Foreshadowing of the occult...... Faceless, I remember a potion name similar to this one...... The mysterious queen immediately flipped out one of her notes from the bookshelf, and flipped through more than a dozen pages, stopping at one of them:

"The Soothsayer's Pathway, Sequence 6, "Facelings."

She frowned slightly, carefully read the transcript of this page, and felt that the person who prayed was most likely the sage of the "soothsayer" path.

However, she did not have a complete record of this pathway, and she had no way of knowing what the name of the other party's sequence 4 or 3 was, and she could not judge the strength of the other party in the right way.

In fact, according to the strange connections that loomed on the other party's body, she subconsciously thought of the Sequence 4 potion name "puppet" of the prisoner's path. But the thought flashed away, and her spiritual intuition pointed out that "it was the relevant mystery of the soothsayer's path."

"A soothsayer came to the sea and sought to cooperate with me ......"

Bernadette pondered the possible implications, as a "master of prophecy", she has a strong inspiration, although it is still a little worse than the way of fate, but in terms of prophecy, divination and inspiration, she is already considered to be a leader.

At this moment, her spirit did not give warning, that is, she could cooperate with the other person and further observe the changes that might be bringing.

"Could it be an Esoteric Order?"

"My honorific name is not widely spread, but it is normal for the Tantric Society to have a record."

"Is it his own feeling to cooperate with me, or does it represent the request of its legendary leader, Zarathu?"

After thinking for a while, Bernadette took the seal, did some simple divination, and obtained a relatively neutral result.

So, in the afternoon, she answered the prayer.

"Unknown Sage, first say your request."

Five minutes later, she got the other party's answer:

"I need the latest movements and clues of the 'Immortal King' Agaritu."

Hearing this request, Bernadette's first thought was "the need to play", and she vaguely had some guesses about the Faceling's role.

She didn't reply immediately, but further guessed the other party's purpose:

"Faceling" is only Sequence 6, which can preclude the Sage's own play.

The identity of the "Immortal King" is important, and the flagship "Death" under his control is a powerful seal, and Sequence 6 is difficult to play, so it may not be for his newly promoted juniors.

From this request, there is no angel-level scheme, which is likely to be the private matter of this sage.

Thinking about this, Bernadette's mood was more relaxed. Since this is a relatively reciprocal private cooperation, it is not impossible to make a deal.

She replied:

"I can help you gather the information you need." The Immortal King's doesn't often manifest his power, and it takes time. ”

The puppet-like man asked, "How long?" ”

Bernadette replied, "About a week." The whereabouts of a pirate king are not easy to grasp. ”

The whereabouts of the "Pirate King" are difficult to grasp, but her efficiency in obtaining information is not slow at all.

"Yes." The other person's voice was also unrecognizable, "I will recite your honorific name again in a week." ”

He didn't seem in a hurry......

The thought flashed through Bernadette's mind, and she said:

"How do I let you know if I get the news earlier or later than seven days?"

The other side was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "It's okay if it's earlier than seven days, but if there is still no news after seven days, then I don't need this piece of information." ”

According to the voyage, after seven days, the outer gods will be able to reach the Rorsted Islands, and they can buy a boat for themselves to go to sea, waiting for the occult connection to send the "Death" to the door. It's only valuable to get the news before that.

Bernadette frowned, unsure of what the sentence meant, but said, "I see." ”

"So, I have a few requirements, and you can choose any one to complete."

"Say it."

"One, help me find out the identity of the 'Black Emperor Ghost' who is secretly operating in Beckland, and bring him to me."

"Second, the intelligence of the secret activities of evil secret organizations, such as the Spirit Order, the Aurora Society, and the Rose School, is based on the scale of the Great Smog of Beckland."

After the two requests were spoken, the opposite side was silent for a few seconds, as if they were deliberating.

"Bernadette Gustaf, you're chasing a disaster."

I met you in Beckland before the Great Smog and you tried to stop the catastrophe but left early for various reasons...... But in order to prevent the identity from being judged by this sentence, which would lead to the miscarriage of the transaction, the king of decay did not speak out.

The demigod on the other side said word by word, and the voice lost its shape as soon as it entered the ear, turning into monotonous words left in the mind:

"Is this what you need for your ritual? Successfully prophesy a catastrophe and amplify or stop it? ”

Bernadette was not surprised: "Your Excellency, your guess is interesting, but it has nothing to do with your deal. ”

"I can create a catastrophe if you need to."

The man continued to say the most terrifying words in an ordinary voice: "How big does your disaster need to be? In the Northern Continent or the Southern Continent, more than 50,000 people, less than 100,000 people, I can do it, and I believe that this is a good enough reward. ”

If there's one word to describe Bernadette's mood, it's a mixture of anger – more surprise than anger.

As a pirate king, Bernadette had the self-knowledge that her prestige was based primarily on her strength, identity, family background, and mystery, rather than on plundering, massacring, and opposing the nation's navy.

She considered herself merciful among pirates, but she didn't think that way among Sages of her rank.

Due to her stubborn sense of justice, when she heard that the Sage on the other side was trying to use such a huge disaster to make a deal, she immediately had the intention of refusing to cooperate.

"I don't accept this condition."

Bernadette said coldly: "If you insist, then I will refuse to cooperate with you this time." ”

It seems that she can't use this way to make her ritual fail and her promotion out of control...... Russell, your good daughter is so kind and lovely, and she insists that your crazy cruelty has something else to hide, it makes me wonder how you brainwashed her?

The King of Decay pretended to admit his mistake: "I see. Just continue to cooperate according to your requirements. ”

"I don't have anything more to say."

"I hope you can remember your words."

End of conversation.

Bringing Crane to Bernadette was something the gods had never thought about.

Crane had an Azik Eggers by his side, and according to subsequent observations, they did not turn against each other, but reached some degree of reconciliation.

But in the end, what will make Azik feel uncomfortable is Crane's identity as the "Goddess of the Night Scroller", and as long as this identity remains, the effect of sowing discord will always exist.

Even if Azik Eggers were to be crossed, and the Goddess of the Night was paying attention to all of this, it was impossible for an angel or pirate of the Demon Path to capture Kryn and hand it over to another pirate in this situation.

"Track down the ghost of the Black Emperor...... Bernadette, good boy...... To this day, you are still chasing your father's ghost. ”

"You hate her, you hate her, you are attached to her, and you are obviously chasing the good father of your childhood memories, not Russell the Great, the Son of Steam, the Playboy Gustav, or any of them. But the person you're chasing doesn't exist. ”

"Strange, does she really believe that her father is loyal to her mother?"

The outer god said faintly, "I should have great mercy and let you see the last face, or not even the last one." ”

Let's pick two.

"Information on the activities of a covert organization."

Although it is unclear what the specific requirements of the promotion ceremony of the "Sage" are, having Bernadette participate in it without knowing it and personally contribute to some of the disasters should have some impact on her ceremony.

She looked out the window.

It was five o'clock in the evening, and it was almost night, so she should get up and go to the dining room to find some dinner.

Of course, it would be better if the extraordinary trait could bring together the "Immortal King" before Bernadette.

——————

Since Medici is out of trouble, Crane is unaware of the fact that Bincy is the hiding place of the Medici family, and that the Red Angels of the Medici family were involved in the redemption of the Roses.
