Of course he knew...... Once again, their own bounty has been upgraded.

Daniz remembered why his bounty had changed from £1,200 to £3,000 when he had been promoted to Sequence 7 and killed a pirate who had attacked the sailors of the Golden Dream on the street of Puerto Tiana, and was thus featured in the local newspaper and had his bounty raised by the church and army, who were closely associated with the Admiral of Blood.

This time too, in order to take revenge, in order to remind his captain "Bloody General" Seigor has set his sights on her, Daniz uses the power of the two people in front of him to deal with "Steel" Maiviti and many of his men, and reports the incident to the major newspapers in Baiam.

Of course, in order to maintain regional stability, these contents were not reported, but in less than a week, the slightly lower reward on his wanted list was slightly lower than that of a pirate of the same rank, and he became the number one "rich man" on the "Golden Dream", apparently after the colonial government and church reassessed his strength.

And the man and woman in front of him, even if they kill "Steel" Mai Weiti, it won't take a few minutes, and I'm afraid that they won't let the residents downstairs hear the movement...... Daniz mentally assessed the difference in combat power between the two sides, and quickly followed his inner thoughts and stopped struggling.

"Well, you'll learn the horror of this radio receiver in a minute, and I'll take every word it spits out to heart and tell everyone I know......"

He thought hatefully.

Past Daniz, who was dangled by silk threads with a strange expression on her face, Angel slowly approached the newspaper receiver, which looked a little strange in the crimson moonlight, and read the messages on the paper spit out beneath it.

"Arodes", questions must be answered...... This can't be the Magic Mirror of the Seal that Beckland's "Mechanical Heart" has, right? I remember that the deacon named Iconser was a little scared of it, but it asked friendly questions, why was it so bad now?

"Are you the 'Arodes' we once knew?"

Angel asked cautiously, and made up her mind that if the other person asked any strange questions, she would catapult it into the sea not far away with a silk thread.

"Yes! Thank you for having a place in your heart with me, your humble servant Arodes! ”

In the click, a line of flowery runn text was spit out by the newspaper receiver, and the exclamation mark at the end of the sentence carried an elongated ink, like a manifestation of the other party's passionate mood.

"Did you and that gentleman still enjoy your vacation in Byam?"

As another line of text was spat out, Angel determined that the "soul" hidden in the radio receiver was indeed Beckland's odd seal.

"It's okay."

Just the right answer! You can ask the next question. ”

The expression on Daniz's face, which was hung by silk threads and his feet did not touch the ground, had completely collapsed, and he couldn't believe that "Arodes", who had just asked a shameful question that hit his heart, was like a humble subordinate who flattered his boss, and he couldn't even pat his face!

It's just a dream, a nightmare for me...... He shook his stiff neck and looked around, trying to recognize the unreality of the dream, but he noticed that Gelman Sparrow by the door was also walking in this direction, and there was a glimmer of anticipation in his heart.

Da-da-da-da.

Before the crazy adventurer with a stiff face approached, the receiver "Arodes" typed out a new line of text, also in Runn script, and the font was even intimately enlarged by a few numbers for Klein, who was far away from it:

"Your faithful servant Arodes is at your service."

No, no...... And what about that evil Arodus just now? Ask them questions and ask them what they are secretly doing in their room on New Year's Eve! Ask this guy why he goes to the bathroom twice an hour!

Danitz cried out in despair inwardly, if it weren't for the gradual tightening of the silk threads on his body, if it weren't for the twitching corners of Gelman's mouth that ported danger, he would have even wanted to ask those questions in the place of this radio receiver.

But in the end, the flame in his heart was extinguished, he gave up the struggle, his limbs drooped like a salted fish hanging from the ceiling, and the whole person fell silent.

Reading the previous three questions carefully, Crane almost couldn't hold back the deliberate serious expression on his face, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Daniz beside him, and was relieved to find that the latter's neck was drooping and did not look at him, and the corners of his mouth grinned slightly.

"I do have a question for you."

He said slowly, watching the ticker make a series of typing sounds and spit out a line of text.

"Speak, my master. Can I call you that? I felt the familiarity. ”

Familiar ...... Breath?

Crane's first reaction was that this Arodes continued the behavior of Beckland, by currying favor with himself and Angel, in order to escape the control of the "mechanical heart" and gain freedom, so he tracked it down to the sea and got into this receiver.

But then he remembered that he had watched a "mechanical heart" attack on Amun's tomb by Arodus in a strange dream, and was revered by the other party as "a great being above the spirit world", thus determining that the origin of today's abnormal situation of the transmitter should be the mysterious gray mist on his body.

After all, I forgot the radio receiver from Miss "The Magician" and forgot it in the gray fog, and it was only after a few days that I remembered that perhaps it had been contaminated with the relevant aura and had been discovered by Arodes...... Well, this reminds me to be careful that objects that have been in the gray fog for a long time will draw the attention of certain powerful beings when they return to reality......

He pondered, nodded, and continued:

"Where can I find a mermaid alive?"

He was afraid that the other party would give the location of the necromantic mermaid like Mr. Azik, so he limited the range.

The illusory white paper spit out by the receiver this time was extraordinarily long and densely packed, but it was thoughtfully divided into several areas, and even had a brief map marking.

From the answers, Klein learned about the mermaid colony that worshipped the goddess of the night near the waterway in the eastern part of the Gargas Islands, the clues of the wild mermaids in the illusory waters of the "War of the Gods Ruins" further east, and the location of the mermaids raised in the church headquarters sanctuary and the sleeping church on the island of Dianos.

Most of them are under the control of the Church of the Night Goddess...... Why did the Church that controls the path of the "Sleepless" go so far to control the mermaids, in order to prevent the "Facelings" from continuing to advance, or are these creatures used for other important purposes?

Crane assessed the risks, believing that even with the ability of the "Facelings" to change their appearance, it would be too dangerous to pretend to be a night watchman or bishop to approach those believers, and since the church has the ability to support them, it must be fully prepared for this, and it is dangerous to fall into the net if they rush to approach...... At the very least, it had to be recycled, and Melissa and Benson had already been given their pensions......

He was hesitating where to take the plunge, only to find that the receiver continued to spit out blank paper:

"According to the rules, I'm going to ask you a trivial question," the text skewed, revealing the humility hidden within, "did you know that the Night Church has been on guard against the 'Facelings'?" ”

This...... That's sweet, it helped me eliminate the wrong answer.

Klein rubbed his face to prevent his expression from collapsing, and then slowly replied:

"Now I know."

"Exquisite!"

Spit out the paper so fast that it almost sent the illusory white paper into the air, ending with a new sentence: "The energy on the newspaper receiver is about to dissipate, and I can only answer one more question." ”

Energy? It's talking about the breath of gray mist, right? That's because Angel and Daniz are around...... Crane thought for a moment and gave Angel the right to ask questions.

"I want to know where the Gazer is."

Angel's question was also related to potions, and she wanted to throw Daniz out the door and ask again, but instead it occurred to him that if he heard about this kind of clueless thing, it would be tantamount to being known by the erudite "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" Adwina, and maybe a new clue would be generated, so she did not hide it.

"This is a creature that can travel between the spirit world and reality, most of them have been controlled in a certain spiritual area that does not belong to the real world, due to the inherent anti-divination characteristics, I can't determine the specific location. There are still a handful of 'Gazers' located on a small island near the real-life 'Mid-Range Island', which is just as dangerous, but safer than exploring the spirit realm. ”

The receiver controlled by Arodes was quick to answer.

Mid-range Island ...... Where is this?

Angel recalls the map in his head, but quickly gives up, deciding to ask Daniz "Blaze" Blaze, a pirate and adventurer, later.

Immediately, she calmed down and prepared to deal with the other party's "problem".

Da-da, da-da.

The firing pin inside the machine began to become weak, and slowly spit out white paper:

"It's my turn to ask, Lady Honor, will we ever meet again?"

What's the problem...... Is it Daniz who has a problem, or is it me and Klein who have a problem? Or was Arodes desperate to escape from the "Heart of the Machines"?

Angel chuckled and replied:

"I think this opportunity depends on you."

"Unmistakable answer! As long as you stay with my host, we will meet again~"

With the last of his strength, Arodes spat out the words, and then the radio receiver stopped moving, and the illusory white paper stacked underneath it was gone, and everything that happened in the room seemed to be just a hallucination shared by the three of them.

No, some are not hallucinations...... Daniz is still tied with silk threads......

Angel waved his fingers, hiding the invisible thread, and let the salted fish that had given up the struggle let go, leaving him on his knees and falling to the floor.

"You continue to listen for the signals of the 'Blood Admiral', or you can try to tell the 'Iceberg Admiral' all this."

Klein took a deep breath to shake off Danitz's lonely expression, which seemed to have lost the meaning of his existence, and tried his best to maintain a cold tone of voice, and then left the suite that did not belong to them with Angel one after the other.

"Tell the captain...... Is he advising me, or is he threatening me with counter-words? ”

Daniz's dull mind gradually returned to normal, and he looked at the unmistakable radio receiver in the moonlight, feeling disinterested in everything.

After sitting on the floor for a long time, he slowly stood up, hugged the rudimentary machine, walked into the bedroom, and locked the door.

Moments later, there was a constant "hum" of shaking the power generator handle in the room, as if it was about to take advantage of the opportunity to charge and store the new device, so that Gelman, who threatened to buy another one with his bounty, had nothing to say.
