Chapter 3 False Identities
After helping Father Utravsky dispense the potions, Angel felt a pang of satisfaction as she watched the painful patients look visibly better after taking them.
She put the empty cup away and put it back on the altar, then walked towards Klein, surprised to find him talking in a low voice with a handsome man over 1.8 meters tall.
"Are you...... That vampire Emlyn White who was captured by the priest? ”
Although he had not seen the hapless vampire in person, the priest had previously said that the other party was boiling medicinal ingredients in the kitchen, and Angel quickly confirmed his identity based on his attire.
"Bloodline, noble bloodline, okay?"
Emlyn handed a couple of small pill bottles to Klein, turned around and retorted angrily, and then looked puzzled and frowned and asked:
"I've heard your voice, you can't be the guy who tricked me out of my 'master key' through the door before, right?"
"First of all, it was Father Utrawski's key, the reward I received for helping him; Second, the cursed key has been ...... It's destroyed, and if you want it back, you'll have to pray to the 'true Creator'. ”
Angel retorted unceremoniously.
"'The True Creator'! The evil god? ”
The vampire was visibly frightened, and the look on his face made it clear to Angel that he was not going to pursue the whereabouts of the magical item.
Klein, who was on the side, chuckled, took Angel's words, and said jokingly:
"He had just intended to pray to some hidden being, but not ...... 'true creator,' but a 'fool.'"
Seeing a man and a woman in front of him looking at him with a somewhat strange smile, Emlyn suddenly felt a little weak and began to doubt the rationality and safety of his plan.
……
After playing tricks on the hapless vampire, Angel and Klein quickly left the Harvest Church, and there were still many patients waiting to receive the medicine at the door, they were slightly ill, so they were not arranged to live in the church, but the long queue was still tens of meters long, and I was afraid that the box of herbs that the priest moved in would not be long before it ran out.
The two returned to the street in silence and got into a hired carriage, and it was not until the cart had left Moonflower Street, and the spire of the church and the emblem of life could not be seen outside the window, that Klein spoke again and asked about the outcome of Angel's communication with the priest.
"As I guessed, the weapon that this magical item 'summons' belongs to the 'Sword of Dawn' of the Dawn Knight, which is tenacious, sharp, and has an additional purification effect on resentful spirits and evil spirits, and the accompanying ability of 'reducing the influence of extraordinary power' belongs to the strengthening of the body by the 'warrior' path, according to him, the extraordinary ability of the two sequences has almost no effect on the warrior, even if the extraordinary ability of the same sequence, there is a considerable degree of reduction."
Although this effect is not as good as the "Dawn Armor", which seems to be more protective, it can be a miracle for some abilities that can directly attack the body through the protection.
If you can get this weapon a few days earlier, will the outcome of the battle with "Lady of Despair" change...... Angel couldn't help but think so, but quickly came to a negative conclusion on his own, Panatia, as the desperate witch of Sequence 4, can form an absolute suppression of Angel in the same way, even if there is one more magical item, the ending may be the same.
The time spent in the small talk between the two of them, and the trip was very strange that there were no "unlucky" things such as broken axles and frightened horses, which made Angel touch his waist several times, suspecting that the "good luck" pistol had been left behind in the Harvest Church.
Their second destination is Iron Gate Street in the Beckland Bridge District, the Bar of the Brave, to make final preparations for leaving Beckland next week - to forge a new identity.
As an area close to the East End, the area near the bridge has also suffered a lot of damage in the big smog, although there are not too many deaths, but some non-fatal but can affect the body of the disease has quietly spread among the crowd, when the two came to the "Brave Bar", business here is obviously much lower than a few days ago, the bartender is bored behind the bar yawn, as if he has not woken up.
Angel and Klein first asked for a modest lunch, filled their bellies with bread with fried sausages, and then went to the bar together.
"Look for Caspers, there's big business."
Klein said in a low voice, looking familiar.
The bartender looked at him with a little surprise, and replied:
"You should have come a few days earlier, that guy died, supposedly from sleeping at night with a pillow on his head, guess what the police said, heh, accident."
This kind of intelligence trafficker will accidentally get covered with a pillow to death...... Isn't it more important to think about being retaliated against? Not to mention the extraordinary, even if an ordinary person touches his bedroom, he can easily do it...... No, this may be the police's rhetoric to the outside world, or perhaps the official extraordinary person has intervened in the investigation, and the "accident" is just a cover for the extraordinary event.
Angel looked thoughtfully at Klein beside her, who also frowned, obviously thinking of this, nodded after a moment, and asked:
"Does he have a successor?"
"Of course, we can't do without sellers, you go to the old place and find the 'old man'."
The "old place" that the bartender refers to is a small room at the back of the bar with a pool table, which is occupied by a few strong men all year round, but is actually the place where Caspars used for secret transactions.
Pushing open the hidden door, the two entered the small room, where there were several balls of different colors on the billiard table, and the cue was dusty, and no one should have played for a while.
A boy who was not too old was sitting in the shadow of the corner, and when he saw someone coming in, he got up and walked out into the light, and Angel instantly recognized the boy in a bowler hat and an old coat, Ian.
It was another kidnappee she met shortly after she arrived in Beckland, and in order to save the kidnapped Sonya, she and Dominic broke into the warehouse of the Zmangue Party.
Unexpectedly, Ian, who was rescued by her at that time and claimed to "disappear for a while", appeared at the Brave Bar again, and replaced the strangely dead Caspars as the new intelligence dealer.
"Detective Sherlock Moriarty!" Ian first recognized Klein, who had gold-rimmed glasses and a thick beard, and then turned his gaze to Angel, his eyes lit up, "This lady, we meet again, I still owe you a favor!" ”
"I didn't expect you to be the 'old man' that the bartender said."
Looking at Ian, who had two beards and pretended to be old, Angel replied with a chuckle.
After explaining his intentions to the new intelligence monger, Ian nodded his head, then frowned:
"I have a lot of channels to make fake identities, before Caspass's, and my own, but I'm afraid it will be a little difficult these days, I've heard some rumors, yesterday's big smog was made by some cultists, and now the police, the military and even MI9 are wantonly searching for unidentified people, and now making fake identities is equivalent to getting up on it yourself, and there is still a word on the head 'come and arrest me'......"
The two looked at each other, with helplessness in their eyes.
Unexpectedly, yesterday's big smog was not only amazingly lethal, but also had a profound impact on the situation in Beckland, according to this, the two of them may be able to leave Beckland in their current identities and make a detour to other cities and then go to Port Pritz, otherwise it will be easy to lead the tracking eyes to their real destination.
"Maybe you can wait a while, two to three weeks, and after New Year's at the latest, this heightened alert will be relaxed, and then the price of fake ID documents will be cheaper, after all, well, too many people have died this time."
Speaking of which, Ian's mood was also a little low, and both the "good citizen" and the intelligence trafficker like him had a similar attitude towards the sudden disaster.
Walking out of the Bar of the Brave, Crane sighed, looked at Angel, and said:
"It seems that the only option is to choose a backup option."
Alternatively, Angel would leave Beckland as "Erin Watson" and "return" to Tingen, where he would choose a false identity to travel to Port Prietz, while "Sherlock Moriarty" would travel to Desey Bay for the cold winter like many Becklanders with little money to spare, and then divert halfway to meet up at Port Prietz.
This would probably be a week or so more wasted, but it would allow the two of them to get out of their current identities and possible snooping eyes and leave the Northern Continent from Port Prietz, while still retaining their current identities for a reason to return to Beckland in the future.
It's a pity that "0-08" and its pen holder Ince Zangwill soon return to Beckland, otherwise it would have been better for us to spend the New Year here and buy a fake identity at a cheaper price before leaving......
Angel thought silently and got into the hired carriage with Crane.
After a moment, Klein's gaze withdrew from the window, looked this way, and spoke:
"...... tonight"
Before the words fell, an illusory figure appeared next to the window, and the temperature of the entire carriage also dropped significantly, like doors and windows opening together, and cold wind poured in.
Evil spirits, or resentful spirits?
Angel reacted instantly, the "knight's bracelet" in his left hand was about to turn into a short dagger, and Crane, who was sitting opposite, also opened his eyes wide, but he didn't move, but looked at Angel's side in surprise.
"You need fake identification?"
This somewhat erratic voice came from Angel, and Angel felt a little familiar.
She looked sideways, and sure enough, the figure around her gradually became clear, it was Miss Sharon, the "resentful spirit" wearing a small black hat and a gothic dress.
Seeing that Angel was a little nervous, her blue eyes moved away a little uncomfortably, and her voice became condensed and no longer illusory:
"I'll knock on the door next time."
Someone knocked on the door of the carriage, and I am afraid it will be even more terrifying...... Angel relaxed, and no longer dwelling on Miss Sharon's intrusion, but continued her topic:
"Yes, we're leaving Beckland in the near future and we're going to change identities."
"2 days, £100."
Sharon, who cherished words like gold, replied immediately.
It took a moment for the two to understand what she meant.
Unexpectedly, this extraordinary person has channels that are difficult for intelligence dealer Ian to reach, so Angel, who originally planned to separate from Crane and leave Beckland alone, was a little surprised, he looked at Crane opposite, the latter nodded slightly, his hand had already taken out the inside of the trench coat, and soon took out a note that had already been written, on which was the identity information he needed.
"Gelman Sparrow?"
Taking the note and glancing at it, Sharon pronounced the name on it in a questioning tone, but instead of asking, she put the note away and looked at Angel again.
"What about you?"
"Copy book reviews, huh?"
