Chapter 4: Strange Names

"Gelman Sparrow? Does the name have any meaning? ”

Seeing Klein concocting his fake identity information at his desk, Angel asked curiously.

This surname is somewhat inexplicably familiar to her.

"A mad adventurer who hunts sins, a legendary pirate who roams the seas...... Well, a few more details. ”

Crane gave Angel a gentlemanly bow to his chest as if he were introducing himself, and then picked up a pen and added a few words to the paper.

"Pirate ......"

Hearing this word, Angel remembered why the surname "Sparrow" was so familiar, it was a fictional but famous pirate in her previous life, but why did Crane use him as a pseudonym, and also call himself a legendary pirate, is it......

"Such a strange surname, it can't be an early work of Russell the Great, right?"

This time-traveler two hundred years ago almost plagiarized the literature, art, and inventions of his previous life, and crystallized the wisdom of countless predecessors for his own use, presumably this "Sparrow" is also one of his achievements.

Russell...... So he already used it? ”

Crane's expression was a little dull, and he muttered to himself, and after a moment, he nodded helplessly:

"Maybe, me too, well, sounds ......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly lost his desire to create, put down the pen, put the identity information of "Gelman Sparrow" in his pocket, and looked at Angel beside him.

"What about you? Have you figured out what your identity is? ”

Angel was not as interested in improvisation as he was, shook his head, and said with a smile:

"Why don't you help me think of one?"

This easily activated Klein's interest again, and he said with a twinkle in his eyes:

"Why don't you call it Maria?"

"Another."

She instinctively felt that something was wrong, and the name had a special meaning that she didn't want to use as a fake identity.

"Then ...... Angelica? ”

Although the smile on Klein's lips made Angel feel a little strange, the name sounded similar to her own name, and she hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

……

Recalling the process of the two making up fake names, Angel also handed over his identity information - Angelica Thatch, as well as the handling fee, a stack of small bills totaling 100 pounds.

After paying the "upside-down hangman" to contact the cost of making the knight's bracelet, Angel still had about 2,200 pounds in cash, most of which was already in the bank, and the wallet had shrunk greatly after handing over 100 pounds, which made her feel a little heartache, and her fingers pinching the money were a little white.

Fortunately, Sharon, who looked indifferent, did not notice Angel's careful thoughts, and after she put away the notes and banknotes, her figure quickly faded and disappeared into the carriage.

This "resentful spirit" style made Angel a little speechless, perhaps Miss Sharon has completely integrated the "acting method" into her daily life.

——

Under the pretext that she needed to pack up and return the house, Angel did not go to Klein's house today, but went straight back to 47 Red Rose Street.

Both of her safe houses are in the East End, where chaos is raging and countless police officers are struggling to maintain order and prevent the crimes that can be found in the aftermath of the disaster, such as theft, robbery, and wounding. So she didn't go to the safe house and take a detour back home, as is customary.

Of course, another reason not to live in Klein's house is the new round of "tarot meetings" that will start tomorrow.

Although Klein, as a follower of Mr. Fool, may have known about this small gathering in the Grey Mist Palace, Angel is still ready to ask Mr. Fool before telling him about it.

And that would probably expose me for "introducing" him to Mr. Fool...... Angel shook her head with some concern and walked into the basement.

She pulled out the communication potion Lola had given her, applied half a bottle to the basement mirror, and waited silently for the other party's response.

"Anyway, it won't last long, and I'm leaving Beckland, and I won't need ...... for the rest."

She muttered, tossing the remaining half of the potion into the air and reaching for it, finding a proper reason for her waste.

"This makes me so sad, I have to make this potion a lot of blood."

The sudden sound in the mirror made Angel almost throw away the glass bottle.

She looked at the half-length mirror where the edges had turned pitch black and the potion had begun to evaporate, and the tired face of Lola Swan, who was wearing a hooded cloak and black hair pulled at random, and based on the angle of the image in the mirror, Angel guessed that she was using the magic mirror she had with her.

"I've been waiting for your message all day, and I even thought I was dying at the hands of 'Lady of Despair' Panatia, and it's great to see that you're okay."

Lola's tone was as sweet as ever, but the touch of concern made Angel's heart feel warm.

However, she did "die at the hands of Panatia", and in this respect, Lola has the temperament of a prophet.

"Fortunately, Panatia didn't have time to pay attention to a small role like me, she should have gone to the East End after meeting with me, and started this big smog ......"

Angel selectively revealed some of the information to Lola, including Mr. A's attempt to summon the "true Creator", and Panatia's trip to the East Side to cooperate in the Great Smog and collect the souls, but concealed her own battle, death, and resurrection.

"In line with the information I've gathered, this big smog was really created by Panatia, what they called their 'big plan'...... It seems that her 'despair' potion should have been almost digested, hmph, taking the initiative to take on such a task, I'm afraid she also has a lot of selfishness. ”

After listening to Angel's narration, Lola frowned and muttered to herself.

"Creating large-scale tragedies and creating more 'despair', is this how this sequence is played?"

Although he could guess a lot of information from the name of the potion, Angel still asked the witch who knew a lot about high-order potions.

"It's not the only way, but like the previous sequence, it's the most effective way to play, and the 'witch' path means disaster, which is the embodiment of the 'primordial' will. Oh, maybe soon, we're going to face a new 'ageless' witch......"

Lola replied with a sneer.

Original...... The Primordial Witch? What does she mean is that the Sequence 0 of a Potions Pathway has the ability to influence the Extraordinary of the entire Pathway, influencing the way they play?

The thought flashed through Angel's mind, and then he shook his head and replied:

"You shouldn't need to worry about this, Panatia has been dealt with by some angel from the Orthodox Church."

She didn't say which church it was, so as not to be guessed by the other party.

Although, my message channel is myself...... She added from the bottom of her mind.

"Angels?" This news was obviously not what Lola expected, and her blue eyes widened in surprise, "...... No wonder the Witch Cult's power in Beckland was almost wiped out, the 'Pain' witch who presided over the situation was nowhere to be seen, and even Triss beside Prince Edsak fled in a hurry. I heard that the three major churches have a tacit understanding in this regard, and each other restricts the extraordinary and sealed objects of this sequence from entering Beckland, which should also be the confidence of the 'Witch Sect' to dare to implement the plan, but I didn't expect it to be easily destroyed by such an angel. ”

"Triss ran away? Wasn't she caught or killed? ”

Angel immediately asked rhetorically.

Could it be that the angel of the Church of the Goddess just snatched Triss's sapphire ring and didn't kill her?

"Yes, Triss appeared in the steam train heading west after the Great Smog cleared, but according to the Witch Cult's anti-tracking methods, it is likely that this is her trick, and she may still be hiding in Beckland, using the Black Flame's anti-divination and the city's millions of people to hide herself.

"And Prince Edsak, who had originally imprisoned her, committed suicide because he was found out that he was 'harboring a witch and attempting to rebel', and according to Vincent's news, the prince set fire to half of the Red Rose Manor, and in addition to himself, several attendants died, including even the butler of 'Arbiter' Sequence 5."

"As far as I know, this prince is not extraordinary, is he?"

Angel asked rhetorically.

"That's true, so it's likely that his death was not a so-called 'suicide', but an extermination, and I think you can guess who is behind it."

can "wipe out" a prince, I am afraid that there are other forces of the royal family behind it...... As for the Witch Sect and the Aurora Society that cooperated with them, at this time, the forces in Beckland were afraid that they would not have time to protect themselves, so how could they have time to deal with him?

Angel immediately understood Lola's hints, but she lacked a specific understanding of the disputes in the royal family of the Rune Kingdom, and had no way to tell which big names were involved in cooperating with the cult, so the analysis had to stop there.

"By the way, Miss Lola, I may leave Beckland in a few days, the time is not clear, maybe half a year, maybe more than a year."

After exchanging information, seeing that there were still some potions left on the mirror, Angel continued.

"Leave Beckland...... Is it to avoid subsequent retaliation? Lola nodded knowingly, "Speaking of which, you've provided us with a lot of useful information, and it's time to pay you something, do you need gold pounds, magical items, or some other reward?" ”

Hearing the gold pound, Angel was a little moved, but what she lacked most at this time was not this, so she shook her head and said slowly:

"I'm not short of money for the time being, but if you can provide the tip of the tail of the two-tailed black snake, or the blood of the flower-faced bat, then I can't thank you enough."

These two extraordinary materials are auxiliary materials for the "Painful" Witch Potion, and Angel proposes at this moment that in addition to the fact that they are really needed to concoct the potion, there is also the intention of testing the other party.

Sure enough, Lola immediately asked rhetorically:

"The 'Pain' Witch...... Are you ready to advance to Sequence 5? ”

Without waiting for Angel to answer, her eyes froze for a moment, and then immediately added:

"No...... This is just auxiliary material, you are the official extraordinary, belonging to the three major churches? ”
