When he came out of the bathroom, Crane found Angel half-lying on the couch, with one hand on the floor, a little drowsy.

Hearing his footsteps, the witch who was tired but more and more seductive looked at him with her eyes half-opened.

"Do you want me to help you?"

Klein chuckled and without waiting for an answer, he reached out and grabbed Angel's waist and picked her up.

As if she had just been awakened at this point, Angel began to struggle within the crook of his arm, but she wielded her struggling limbs in exhaustion not so much as resistance, but further temptation, which made Klein feel for the first time the physical advantage of the "soothsayer" path.

The little bit of thought in his heart that he didn't want to look at directly came alive again.

Holding the soft body in his arms, he walked into the bedroom, closed the door with his feet, and approached the warm double bed with a "bang" of the door.

"Wait a minute, what are you...... Take advantage of people's danger......"

Realizing what was going to happen, Angel's struggle became intense, but her hands stroked Klein's exposed skin from time to time, causing their body temperatures to rise rapidly, and their faces gradually turned red.

Is it the cause of the "Ring of Madness"...... She thought to herself, a little shyly.

"Didn't you say last night that I could only be down there forever?"

Seeing this, Crane smiled a little smugly and threw Angel onto the soft bed.

"Last Night......

Angel was a little confused, she wasn't in Trier last night......

Seeing a cute expression of confusion on her crimson face, Crane finally stopped being patient, took off his vest, unbuttoned his shirt, and was about to implement his "evil plan" when he suddenly remembered that he had asked "Flame" Daniz to wait in the next room half an hour ago, ready to help him solve the matter of "fake Angel".

He shouldn't dare to continue eavesdropping, right?

Klein subconsciously stopped his movements, took out a copper penny from his trouser pocket, bounced up with a "ding", and made a quick divination.

If it's the "numbers" pointing up, I'll go there immediately......

As soon as the mad adventurer Gelman Sparrow woke up from him, Angel, who grabbed him in a daze, stretched out his thighs, hooked Crane's back, and put him down on the bed with a roll, while he took advantage of the situation and reversed his hands, barely regaining some strength, pressing down on the other man's shoulders.

"Wait, wait, your power ......"

In the exclamation, Gelman instantly degenerated into a helpless "soothsayer".

Syllable.

The unheeded coin fell to the ground, and George III, wearing a crown and beard, faced upwards as the only witness to the "battle".

"Dear Mr. Azik,

"I am writing with you again after a few days because I have a question that needs to be answered urgently, and it requires the help of your knowledge, even your past memories......

"It is a complex ritual symbol found in the ancient living sacrifice site on Bansey Island, which takes Angel from Bansey Harbor to the Catacombs of Trier, thousands of miles away, and returns her to Bansey at the same time as when she left three days later......

"This ritual was associated with the drastic change in the weather on Bansey Island, the fall of a Storm Church bishop, the death of several local residents, and the separation of the dead people's heads, each of which turned into an attacking monster...... It's a lot like the power of the 'death' realm, maybe you know this symbol and have heard of a similar ritual?

In addition, Angel also encountered an extraordinary event in the catacombs of Trier, which is said to have a certain power that can erase people's bodies and other people's memories of them from the Quaternary Period, and can only be avoided by holding a white candle and lighting it, but the local government and church not only did not prevent ordinary people from entering, sealed this power, and even used it as one of the sightseeing projects.

"It's unusual, perhaps to seal the power away, but in the mouths of the members of the 'Eighth Game' who are tracking Angel, there are a few notable terms that you may have an impression of: 'Nightpillar', 'Chrissmanna', 'Marianne', 'Lius'......

"While waiting for your Q&A, Angel and I will travel to Byam in the Rorsted Islands, where we will spend the New Year for a longer period of time. I wish you a happy new year in advance and a smooth journey to us.

"Your student and friend, Klein Moretti."

After handing Angel the pen and watching her carefully draw the symbols and lines in her memory on the blank space on the letterhead, Crane blew the brass whistle and summoned the white bone messenger, who was more than a full floor tall in the cabin, stuffed the letter into the envelope, and handed it to it.

The latter's eyes flickered with pitch-black flames, and he looked at Angel, only to disintegrate quickly after a few seconds, and the white bones fell to the ground and disappeared.

The two of them looked at each other, they both discovered the courier's anomaly, and they were even more afraid of the ancient sacrifices and hidden powers on Bansey Island, but the matter had already found Angel, and the only thing they could do was to find answers.

"I hope Mr. Azik will be able to answer these doubts, he mentioned in his last correspondence with me that he has recovered some memory, from the distant Quaternary ......"

Crane put away the brass whistle and said softly.

Angel knew that the true age of this powerful extraordinary person who was Klein's teacher and later awakened countless memories between the cycles of life and death might be thousands of years old, and he also had certain expectations for this.

"Fortunately, the White Onyx is about to leave port, at least in the short term, we shouldn't need to worry about the hidden power here, maybe the Storm Church will come and settle the matter before Mr. Azik writes back."

She looked out the window at Bansi Port, which had lost the eerie atmosphere of last night under the rising sun, and the residents who greeted each other with smiles on their faces, and sighed.

"It's a pity that you can only stay in your room these days and can't enjoy the food in the restaurant......" Klein said with a chuckle, and then Angel poked him between the ribs, and straightened his waist like an electric shock, "I'll help you bring it back, don't poke it, don't you have the strength......"

Speaking of the overturn last night, there was some indignation in his tone.

Angel, who was about to not show up on the White Onyx because he was "inadvertently" warned by Captain Ayrlan, poked him harder when he heard this.

"There is another way, while the White Onyx has not yet set sail, you can go to the 'Sea Breeze Church' in Bansey Harbor now, hand over the extraordinary characteristics of grazing, and admit your identity as a night watchman of the Night Church, and see if you can get their understanding."

With a look of pain and amusement on his face, Crane suggested.

"Look at their posture, I'm afraid it's not easy, maybe I'll be temporarily detained, waiting for someone from the Night Church to take me away......"

Angel pursed her lips, not quite believing that the irascible Storm Church believers would let her go on the spot.

"Besides, you're going to play the role of a 'crazy adventurer' anyway, so why don't you ......" she rolled her eyes and thought of a way to break the can, "Let's go next, and the bounty will be higher than who is above the five seas, right?" ”

"Bounty ......"

Crane's eyes lit up a little when he heard the word, and he didn't know whether it was the anticipation of his own worth or the various numbers he had seen on the notice board in Damir Harbor.

"It's a good idea, and besides, we have a well-known pirate worth £3,000 next door, and he doesn't sound like he's doing anything bad, but it's ......"

"When we get to Byam, we can ......"

The voices of the two of them grew lower and lower, as if they were afraid of being heard by Daniz, the "Blazing" across the wall.

————

Friday evening, December 24, Byam, the "City of Generosity".

With his luggage in one hand and the cap on his head in the other, Daniz turned around and left the dock where the White Onyx docked.

Fearing that Gelman and Angelica would return or follow him secretly, he deliberately took a long detour, circled around with a stalker he didn't know existed, and finally returned to the docks.

No one would have thought that the contact point of the "Golden Dream" in Byam is located in the largest dock...... Daniz thought to himself, a little smugly.

When passing by the sign beside the main road of the pier, he subconsciously looked upward, and soon found his share of the "bounty", a full 3,000 pounds.

This is enough to make many pirates happy to retire in the middle and lower reaches of the countless bounty notices, and lower than him are those who do not enter the stream, such as Captain Johnson of the "Red Skull", and first mate Anderson, who would be scared to the slightest at the sight of him.

And above him, from the "crazy captain" Connors worth 3,300 pounds, to the second only to the seven pirate generals, who can be exchanged for 9,500 pounds for the "slaughterer" Gilcias, one by one with hand-painted portraits, or only a few words of description of the wanted post, dizzying.

As for the pirate generals and pirate kings worth five figures, or even hundreds of thousands of pounds, no one will take a look at those bounties, not because they are not valuable, but because their prestige no longer makes people feel lucky.

After quickly going through the bounty as usual, Daniz was about to move on when he suddenly found a wanted notice with the Church of the Storm's Storm emblem on a piece of paper, typography and a completely different style from other pirates.

"Suspected of murdering the bishop of the Church of the Storm, stealing high-value items, offering a reward of 6,000 pounds, light blonde hair, purple eyes, and a white feather on his hat...... Angelica ...... Thatch? ”

Reading the words on the wanted notice, Daniz was stunned.

He had barely seen the kind-hearted woman for the last three days aboard the White Onyx, and the few of the passengers who had been rescued that night had remained silent, avoiding the events of the day, making Daniz almost think that the night of horror in Bansey Harbor was a clumsy joke, a touch of uninteresting at the end of his vacation.

But when Byam, a few hundred nautical miles away from Bansey, saw the wanted notice, he realized that there were many secrets hidden in the vision of Bansey Harbor that he did not know at all.

But......

"Shit! 6,000 pounds, equal to two me! ”

He cursed in a low voice, and then subconsciously craned his neck and looked around, as if returning to the aggrieved days on the White Onyx.

Seeing that no one was paying attention here, he lifted his hat and walked away quickly.

Not to mention 6,000 pounds, plus a zero, Daniz didn't dare to fight the idea of those two.

Behind him, the fresh wanted notice was removed from the notice board by an invisible hand, crumpled into a ball, and with a "hum", it was thrown into the garbage on the side.
