Chapter 36: Eavesdropping Daniz
Three days later, at the same time, back on the third floor of the catacombs?
Mr. Fool must have known the true situation of the catacombs and how to get back to Bansey Harbor through those dark, cramped corridors, so he replied to me...... But he was talking about Bansey's ancient name, "Bincy", and it turned out to be an ancient and powerful being, perhaps even older than the evil spirits in the underground ruins of Beckland......
Hearing the fool's muffled instructions, Angel subconsciously bowed his head and said silently in his heart:
"Praise be to the fools!"
In this way, she did not need to take the steam train across the two countries to return to the port of Prydz and then go to sea, but only had to wait for three days to return to Bansey, and even if the White Onyx had already left Bansey by then, she could continue to Baiam on the subsequent passenger liner.
"Mr. Fool, please tell Klein that I will be back in time in Bansey in three days, and if the White Onyx he is on will depart early, please do not wait for me, and I will find another ship to Baiam."
After praying to the Fool again, Angel was completely relieved, and she put on the "Ring of Madness" to hide her outstanding appearance, and prepared to go out to buy some change of clothes and prepare to stay in Trier for three days.
In response to Mr. Trouble's repeated "letters", she also plans to find some diaries in the country ruled by Russell the Great and dedicate them to Him as a price.

The White Onyx, a bedroom in room 312 of the first class.
Dressed neatly, Daniz was holding a classically modeled revolver, his face was gloomy, one cheek pressed against the wooden wall, and his ears pricked up, listening to the movement on the other side.
If he had been given another courage during the day, Daniz would not have dared to eavesdrop on the sound coming from the bedroom of room 310, where a man and a woman lived, either of whom could easily kill him, and even his own captain "Lieutenant Admiral Iceberg" would not have time to rescue him.
But half an hour ago, Gelman Sparrow, who had come to his suite to "borrow" the bathroom, asked him to listen carefully to the movement on the other side of the bedroom and to rush over if there was any sound of a fight, and to support the battle by all means.
"Support whom? You, or her? ”
Daniz asked, looking puzzled.
He swore that it was a real question, not a yin and yang weirdness.
But the hunger that the other party exuded at that moment, as if he was going to devour him in the next second, immediately made him obediently shut his mouth and stood here for half an hour.
"You'd better fight among yourself, fight until it's dark, and die together in the next room!"
He sneered, but he didn't dare to take his ears off the wall for a moment.
Who knows if that perverted guy is doing some kind of obedience test, deliberately making some noise to see if I obey his orders...... Shit! How did I come up with these strange words, Daniz, are you still the fourth boatswain of the proud "Golden Dream"?
Just as the 3,000-pound pirate was thinking wildly and listening to the corner of the wall in boredom, there was a sudden collision sound from the opposite side.
"Bang-"
It was as if the door was shut.
Daniz immediately cheered up, tightened his grip on the revolver, and wondered whether he should crash directly into the wooden wall and rush in, shoot first and then set fire, or climb from the porthole to the opposite side and take them by surprise.
With the help of his Sequence 7 "arsonist", the balanced situation will inevitably turn to the favorable side!
As for who to help, it is decided according to the situation on the spot, and if that Gelman is at a disadvantage, it is not impossible to add a fire to himself and let him get the lesson he deserves......
But then, a voice from across the wall made him frown.
"Wait a minute, this is ...... Take advantage of people's danger......"
The woman who usually had a warm smile on her face, but who didn't show mercy when she hung him out of the porthole, was letting out a low, sweet gasp.
"Didn't you say last night that I could only be down there forever?"
The somewhat gloomy voice of the mad adventurer Gelman was full of tenderness at this time.
"Last night?" Angelica asked suspiciously, and after a moment, she suddenly realized, "Ah, you're talking about ......"
Then came the muffled sound of heavy objects falling into the soft double bed, the rustle of laundry, and the women whimpered with some resistance.
Daniz's neck stiffened off the wall and slowly straightened up.
His grip on the revolver slowly loosened as he withdrew his broken hammer.
You guys...... Said to be a good fight, that's how it was fought?
Let me go to the back, huh?
Feeling a nameless fire burning in his heart, Daniz almost wanted to kick and break through the not-so-thick wooden wall, break into the bedroom opposite, and put a fire on the double bed, expressing his inner anger and incomprehension.
That must allow you to devastate some of the potions in your body.
But the last of his inner sanity was firmly tied to Daniz, so that he did not make a decision that he would probably regret for the rest of his life, but gently opened the drawer of the bedside table, put the revolver away, and quietly left his bedroom, and looked around the living room, choosing the servant's room farthest from the bedroom.
"I'll sleep there tonight, and I'll wake up a little later tomorrow, and I'd better let Gelman Sparrow, who came to me, find me coming out of that room......"
He was glad in his heart for his quick wit, which must have been due to the earnest teaching of Captain Edwina.
"Captain, I can't stay here anymore, you...... By the way, close the door. ”
Halfway through his lyricism, he suddenly remembered that he had to do a good job of acting, and turned back and gently closed the bedroom door.
Behind the crack in the door, the strange sound coming through the wall on the other side continued, causing Daniz to shrink his neck and pretend he hadn't heard anything.

Jingle Bell –
Early in the morning, Crane was awakened by the ringing of the doorbell, and he yawned to the living room, where he met Captain Erlan, who also looked tired.
"Can I come in?"
The brawny man in a boat-shaped hat with a single-shot firearm at his waist asked.
Crane hesitated for a moment, then invited him in.
"I'll cut a long story short, I'm going to visit those poor passengers from yesterday later." The captain unceremoniously sat down on the wooden chair next to the coffee table, glanced at the bedroom door, and found that there was nothing unusual behind the open door, "Early this morning, Bansey's team of substitutes came to visit the White Onyx, and they brought Cecil who had recovered from his injuries, several non-disclosure agreements, and a piece of news. ”
"What is it?"
Crane didn't sit down, but stood in front of Erlan, asking indifferently.
"You should have learned about the ancient living sacrifice traditions of Bansey Harbor yesterday, so I'll pick and choose some highlights. Bishop Miller of Seabreeze Church became a cultist leader and died in a cave at the top of the mountain, but his body disappeared from the altar along with your companion Angelica Thatch, and his whereabouts have not been found.
"They tried to track down the body and Angelica all failed, so they came to me for clues, of course, I don't know anything, but I was told that they will soon issue a wanted warrant for your missing companion and a light blue crystal she carried."
Erlan replied in a deep voice.
"So, you think I know her whereabouts?"
After pointing this out unceremoniously, Klein exuded an emotion called "anger", which made Erlan immediately laugh, shook his head, and said:
"I said, I don't know anything, I'm just here to inform you, the White Onyx will leave Bansi Harbor at ten o'clock in the morning, if there is anything you forgot to bring, remember to bring it in time."
Crane watched with a blank look as the captain got up from his chair and walked towards the door.
"By the way," he turned back to look this way when he reached the hallway, "I met a black-haired man in room 312 who kept complaining to me that the bed in the servant's room was too hard, and he looked a bit like Daniz, the 'Flame' who had been offered a 3,000 pound bounty, do you have any clue?" ”
"Ha, how could a real 'Blaze' sleep in a servant's room? I don't think that's him. ”
His question was met with Klein's merciless scoff.
"I think so too," Irlan nodded approvingly, "I'm going to sign a non-disclosure agreement with Blanche, Dimurdo, and Kate's family, and we'll see you again." ”
With that, he left room 310 without looking back.
After the door of the living room closed, a figure slowly walked out of the bedroom, it was Angel, who the punishers were looking for.
"I didn't expect the substitutes to react so violently, I am afraid that it will not help if I go to them at this time, at least I will face a long period of scrutiny, and may even be imprisoned."
She said with a frown.
"It's okay, Daniz is also a wanted pirate, isn't he swaggering around on the White Onyx yet?"
Crane leaned forward and gently wrapped his arms around Angel's thin frame.
"Big deal, we'll be a couple of wanted adventurers."
He whispered.
"What, you're going to kill a betrayal bishop of the Storm Church too?"
A smile tugged at Angel's lips.

Wow –
Pulling back the curtains, Angel looked out the window at the streets of Trier, which had become busy in the rising sun.
"I don't need to catch the steam train, I always feel relaxed......"
She yawned as she studied the difference between the pedestrians below and Rune's dress, but quickly gave up in a dazzled manner.
"Let's go to the bank today to exchange some Intis coins, and then look for clues if there are any extraordinaire gatherings or underground markets...... Well, I only know Pierre, but he's just an ordinary student and certainly doesn't know about these things. ”
Planning her move for the day, Angel looked at the not too big, but very soft, warm single bed in the hotel suite.
"Sure enough, I'm not used to sleeping alone......"
She sighed, and looked out the window again, looking southeast, as if she could see the White Onyx docked at Bansi Harbor thousands of kilometers away.
"He must have been lonely last night, right?"
A smile tugged at Angel's lips.
"Copying book reviews again, huh?"
