Chapter 33: The One Who Hides Behind the Scenes
Klein really likes the ability to "travel", which gives him the freedom to move around.
As long as he can spare time, he can quickly travel between the north and south continents, including returning to Rune in a moment, and making a deal with the infant "Mercury Serpent" Will - sending an item and method that can help Will regain his strength for a short time, and getting a drop of mythical creature blood that the "Hermit" needs, as well as an extra drop of payment for facilitating the deal.
Then he was able to quickly take the two secret puppets back to the Southern Continent, and he didn't have to worry about wasting time on the journey.
The "Hanged Man" accepts the commission of "The World" and finds a stroke carved among the ruins in Bansi Harbor, which is the distorted image of the "Lord of the Storm" by the "Redemption Rose".
Above the gray mist, Crane had heard the prayer of the "Hanged Man", and he was almost certain that the evil spirit that had attached himself to Ince Zangwill was the "Red Angel" Medici who had escaped from the underground ruins of Beckland.
Klein had arrived in West Bailang, in the city of Kukwa in Uttar Pradesh.
He had even met with Daniz and Anderson and stayed in the same hotel, though they didn't recognize him at all.
"Hunters" are not a way to be known for their spirituality, and the special skill of divination is basically out of their reach, not to mention that Klein has changed his appearance with his two secret couples, and no one can recognize this as "Gelman Sparrow" after a few glances.
It's just that Nornes has to stay in the cage, it's too conspicuous.
Outside the window, at the edge of the square, Anderson wore his short blond hair, slightly disheveled, and spread his hat straight up on the ground.
This "strongest hunter in the Misty Sea" took out a harmonica from his arms and played a cheerful but wonderful music, the rhythm is much stronger than the traditional music of the Northern Continent, and it sounds more similar to the ship song on the sea.
Crane had listened to that song in detail when he pretended to be passing by, it was adapted from another song, and now the pirates at sea sang it.
This song could only have been transmitted from the "Future" of Gardelia, the "Star General", which was known as "The Wine of Intis".
Rumor has it that it is most likely the lost ship song of Russell the Great.
Every time I hear this rumor, Klein laughs in his heart, and I wonder what Esther will think when she finds out about it.
Just as Klein was thinking this, his spiritual instincts were suddenly touched.
He looked out over at the crowd listening to Anderson's performance, and saw a figure in a long white dress, with a long black headscarf wrapped around her head, covering the back half of her hair, and only a little blonde hair on her forehead and sideburns was faintly exposed.
The color was familiar to Klein.
She seemed to know that someone was watching her, and looked up towards the window.
Before Crane could scrutinize her face more closely, her figure was obscured by pedestrians, and then there was no trace.
Klein clung to the window, but quickly let go of his hand.
Esther shouldn't be here, it's just an illusion, it's just that her hair is similar to hers......
He had forgotten about a more effective means of verification, and let the idea dispel his doubts.

Klein sent the news of the "Hunter's" passage to the evil spirits through a letter to Leonard.
After discussing with Dunn and Dalie, in the morning meeting the next day, Dalie took the lead in bringing up the matter, and Dunn explained to her the reasoning process of their discovery of this matter in the words that several people had discussed.
Sost took this matter very seriously, of course he knew that the fugitive still had a Level Zero seal on his body, so he immediately reported it to the "Goddess Eye" Ilea, and after receiving a response, the Red Glove Team also entered the intelligence search stage, but was told that there was no need to investigate deeply.
Leonard, Daly and Dunn briefly discuss Ince Zangwill's situation with "0-08" before splitting up into a two-person squad to carry out the mission.
Leonard was naturally the one who went to find someone else to team up.
Dai Li affectionately held Dunn's arm, and the two walked down the street, looking from a distance, a couple with a smile and a happy smile, spending their leisurely vacation in the Southern Continent.
"I'm wondering if he and it will notice if we talk about those things."
Hearing Daly's words, Dunn immediately understood where her concern was coming from, and he thought for a moment, "I guess so." β
"That would be dangerous...... You don't seem to be worried? β
Dunn smiled and looked at the bazaar at the end of the street, "Because his purpose won't be us." You know, since that experience of narrowly surviving death, I've had intuitions from time to time. β
Daly hugged his arm tightly, and she remembered that Old Neil had said something similar, and that after that runaway experience, Daly had visited him many times during his time in Beckland.
Dali sighed and rested her head lightly on Dunn's shoulder: "Since you said it, then I believe it." β
"Let's go shopping," Dunn said, gesturing to the more crowded bazaar ahead, "You can see if there's anything you like, and we won't be delayed in gathering news." β
Daly leaned into Dunn's ear, whispered something, and then laughed out loud.
Dunn blushed slightly, and he also smiled and patted Dai Li's hand: "I'll talk about it later." β

Somewhere in the room, someone was flipping through a blacked-out notebook.
An old-looking quill pen swiped over and over, leaving line after line of writing on the paper, even when no one was in control.
The man in the clergyman's robe, sitting at his desk, his gaze resting on the "story" on the previous page:
"They already knew that the evil spirits possessed by Ince Zangwill belonged to the 'Hunter' path, and with those bits and pieces of clues, the Nightwatchers shouldn't have come to a conclusion so quickly. Despite the rush of time, Ince Zangwill's plans are still going on, and his self-confidence is simply ......"
After a scratched scribble, the handwriting is neat again:
"Things are getting weird, and the 'Red Glove' team is convinced by Dunn Smith and Daly Simone's words, and even Leonard Mitchell, who actually brought it up, is completely hidden.
"But who did his information come from, and who wrote the letter from Renette Tynicole? Ince Zangwill's trail is becoming clear, will everything turn out as they think? β
A few strands of dark blonde hair hung down in front of his forehead, his sculptural facial features were expressionless, and one of the middle-aged man's eyes was dark blue and black, and although the other was still open, it was covered with bright red blood.
He looked at the merrily wandering quill, and let out a sneer: "Of course everything will go as I thought." β
The quill shook its tail twice, as if to sneer at Ince's words, and it continued to dance on the paper:
"However, none of these people know that Ince Zangwill is not only possessed, but also has reached a collaboration with Sauron Einhorn Medich, Ince Zangwill is willing to help the 'Red Angel' evil spirit satisfy his desire for extraordinary characteristics, and he can also get the corresponding help of this evil spirit, and everything that is now unfolding is a carefully guided conspiracy!"
The man grasped the quill, and with a frenzy in his eyes, he turned the blank page and took the initiative to write new words:
"Illia the Goddess' is Ince Zangwill's true purpose, who wants to hunt down the High Deacon of the Night Church to gain her extraordinary traits and prepare for her future promotions.
"By the time Sauron Einhorn Medici is satisfied, those avengers who have come out of Tingen will get the death they deserve! After that, Ince Zangwill deliberately step into the setting of the Night Church and surprise them with wonderful surprises! β
The combination of the personality of the "Red Angel" and the special abilities of the "Gatekeeper" has given him the ability to travel through the spirit world, something he has been deliberately concealing, and he plans to go further afield, find extraordinary characteristics for the evil spirits in his body, and then officially start his hunting plan.
The moment the man let go of the quill, it suddenly twitched violently, and flew wildly as if dissatisfied, and quickly added new words:
"A plan is always a plan, accidents can happen at any time, everything in the dark is predestined, but fate never favors ......the cause"
Ince Zangwille gripped the quill harder, sharply blacked out two lines, and grabbed it to write a sentence:
"Everything will go well today."

West Bailang, Uttar Pradesh, Kukwa City.
The two "hunters" walked side by side, chatting casually.
Anderson shook his hand at Danizβa map and a stack of materialsβand he had just sent Daniz an invitation to join him on the expedition:
"I don't understand, but I stole their language skills on the fly, and then collected the information within the time limit. How's that, isn't it witty? β
Daniz gritted his teeth and shook off Anderson's hand on his shoulder, remembering that he had been encouraged to go to the Church of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" to ask for a language charm:
"I knew you had a way to do it! Goodbye, I've got something to do! β
Anderson didn't stop Daniz, but smiled at him as he distanced himself from him.
The two of them suddenly looked up, and at the same time noticed a middle-aged man walking towards them across the street, dressed in black clerical robes and holding a classical quill.
The impending threat of the catastrophe stimulated Anderson's instinct as a "hunter", but his body trembled and he couldn't move an inch.
"Don't be nervous." A gentle voice rang out beside Anderson.
Anderson miraculously regained control of his body, and when he turned his head sideways, he saw a man dressed in a simple white priest's robe, a pale golden beard that covered half of his face, and a pair of eyes as clear as a baby.
Another figure followed the priest, dressed in a plain white nun's dress, with a long black belt tied around her waist and a silver ring at the end of the belt.
A thin white sash ran behind her ears, and her pale yellow blonde hair was pulled up, and a long black turban was draped over her back.
The "nun" closed her eyes and head drooped slightly, and her expression was gentle and serene, as if she was immersed in sleep. (End of chapter)
