Chapter 63: Separation
"Mid-range island? Why should you go there? ”
In the small room on the second floor of the "Sea and Fire" bar, Dominic, known as "Lucky Nick", frowned and asked Angel in front of him.
The latter had asked Daniz, who continued to listen to the radio signals, about it after the bizarre incident of the "radio receiver" last night, but the pirate, whose worth had soared to 4,800 pounds, was surprisingly ignorant, and only knew that such an island existed, but when asked about the specific address and the situation on the island, her eyes were smeared.
Angel had to find Dominic, an intelligence monger, and try to ask for some information about the island.
"Small islands? It's not small, between the north and south continents, except for the Blue Mountain Island, where Byam is located, and the Passu Island, where the Church of the Storm Altar is located, it is the largest island. ”
Dominic sneered, took a sip of locally produced coffee, and continued:
"The route from the kingdom of Rune, and even the other countries of the northern continent to the southern continent of Bairan, almost all passes through the island of Mid-range, which is located right in the middle of the two continents, hence the name, and the port on it undertakes the replenishment, docking and repair of all the ships on the route, although it is only a small port, it is very prosperous.
"Unfortunately, due to the influence of the violent sea and the changeable climate, most of the medium-range islands are undeveloped except for the harbor, not to mention the hundreds of unexplored islands around, which are the real 'small islands'."
After circling the location of the medium-range island on the map of the Rorsted Islands and the nearby waters on the table, and then drawing countless ink dots on the side of it, Dominic breathed a sigh of relief and put down his pen.
"So, what the hell are you going to do there?"
"Seek a way to advance to the next sequence."
Angel replied perfunctorily, seeing the other party's eyes widen in surprise, she knew that the intelligence dealer must have heard of some of the witch's sequences, and most likely guessed his own sequence wrong.
But compared to revealing the secret of his own quest for Sequence 4 potions materials, this misunderstanding doesn't matter.
Fortunately, through a brief conversation with Dominic, she knew the basic situation of Midrange Island, and as long as she arrived there by boat, she could find clues to the "Gazers" in the local port......
————
"Why don't you wait until I get to Sequence 5 and go along? You should be aware of how dangerous creatures can be used as Sequence 4 potions materials, right? ”
It's a pity that the plan in his head was rejected by Klein before he was even perfected.
"It's because of the play."
She replied softly, avoiding being heard by Daniz, who had been listening to the radio next door and hadn't even been out of the door lately.
- Of course, his "value" skyrocketed was also one of the reasons, in the few times he went out, Daniz always felt that the eyes around him unintentionally glanced at him with a desire for gold pounds, and even the wig and hood could not give him more security.
In Byam, Crane can continue to play as a Faceling, but her "Pain" potion, apart from some signs of digestion during the persecution of Daniz "Blaze", has barely made any more progress, making Angel feel more and more anxious as if she was about to be chased by the other party.
And according to Arodes, apart from entering the mysterious and dangerous spirit realm to find the gazer who doesn't know where, there are only clues about them near Midrange Island, and even if you don't go now, you will have to face this matter sooner or later.
Rather than waiting for the Sequence 5 potion to be digested before looking for the potion material for promotion, it is better to plan ahead, after all, being able to get a master material means saving tens of thousands of pounds in spending.
After explaining everything, Crane's expression was a little loose, but he still frowned, sat on the sofa and thought for a long time before slowly nodding.
"Go and come back quickly, contact us at any time through the messenger 'Wenza', and besides, remember your promise not to risk your life."
He made three chapters in a serious tone, and it was not until Angel nodded solemnly that he breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, when are you going to go to Midrange Island? Why don't you wait for that Faceling's magical item to be crafted before you go? ”
Angel did not hide from Klein that he had commissioned the "Fool's Followers" to make magical items, and the Hangman's promise was to be fulfilled within a week, so Crane asked suspiciously.
"I'll change my face with the 'Ring of Madness' first to avoid being caught as a wanted man worth two Daniz...... Well, it's only worth a half now," Angel himself couldn't help but laugh at this, "Byam's boat to Mid-Haul Island only lasts once in three days, and I'm going to leave here on Thursday, January 6th. ”
She pulled the humble ring out of her pocket and said.
"Are you sure you won't be bothered by negative effects?"
Crane asked with a smile on his lips, he remembered that Angel had been trying to sell this magical item lately.
"After being promoted to Sequence 5, I have more control over this aspect and have no problem using the ring for a short period of time......"
Despite that, Angel stepped forward and sat down beside Klein.
"What, do you need me to help you solve the impact of the negative effects in advance?"
Crane cleared his throat with a serious face, and said in a flat tone.
"I ......"
Bang –
The door to the living room was pushed open, and Daniz, who had been running from another suite, poked his head in:
"The receiver has reacted, it's a 'blood general'......"
His excited voice stopped abruptly, and he swallowed as he looked at the two pairs of eyes in the room that were staring at him.
————
Early in the morning of January 6, Angel arrived at the dock area of Baiam with a suitcase containing a change of clothes, weapons and ammunition, and various charm materials.
As when she first arrived, the dock was filled with passenger ships that had just arrived or were about to leave the port, and many out-of-town tourists were ready to return to their home countries after the New Year, so it was bustling with activity.
She was followed by Klein, who had changed into the appearance of "Gelman", who had a flat face and tried to play his identity, but his eyes were full of reluctance.
"Let Daniz over there see it, and you've failed."
Angel whispered, put down her suitcase, opened her arms, and hugged Klein.
"He didn't dare look at it."
Klein pursed her lips and said something that almost amused Angel for a long time, and she looked into the distance, where Daniz, dressed in disguise, was sneakily hiding in the alley, and really didn't look this way.
The day before yesterday, after the pirate broke through Angel and Crane's warmth, he was very verbally violent by the two, although in the end, he did not go further for the sake of the information that he did listen to the "Blood Admiral", but he still made him request the "Iceberg Vice Admiral" to change another contact again.
Unfortunately, the "Blood Admiral" mentioned in his radio communication that he would be near Byam later this month, and that the cooperation between the two sides in the hunt for Señol needed to be put on the agenda, so his request was ruthlessly rejected by Edwina, and he had to remain in Byam with grievances.
"If there is news of Admiral Blood telling me in time, I will return immediately."
Lifting her luggage again, Angel whispered.
"There is no news, I will return as soon as possible."
Seeing Klein's strange face, she added with a smile, and then followed the long line and began to board the passenger ship to Midrange Island.
Until she stepped onto the gangway and looked back, Crane was still standing there, staring blankly at her from under the brim of his hat.
……
The Blue Mountain Rose was a fully steamship, designed with the latest steam engines and not sailed like other ships of the transitional period, so it looked rather streamlined on the outside, much better than Angel's White Onyx.
But when she got on deck, she found that this passenger and cargo ship was far inferior to the White Onyx, with various boxes stacked randomly on the deck, and the noisy crowd was saying goodbye to the family members below, and some were casually leaning on the boxes and chatting, and did not seem to be in a hurry to return to their cabins.
For those who have managed to scrape together the fare and dream of making a fortune on the southern continent via the medium-range islands, the open-air deck may be more spacious and comfortable than the cramped third-class cabins below.
After sighing and mentally building up for the next three days of the flight, Angel carried the box to his own first-class cabin.
On the deck, near the door of the fore cabin, a sign is hung like any other ship, and above it is plastered with all kinds of wanted notices for pirates and fugitives, so that the crew can easily identify the key criminals mixed with the passengers, and also encourage the passengers to report among themselves.
When passing by, Angel soon found his own one in the wanted post, after more than ten days of wind and rain, the paper printed with her physical characteristics and bounty has been a little yellowed, this kind of wanted notice without portrait is very unimportant, because almost no one can recognize the corresponding target on the street, so she has been pasted with other wanted notices, blocking most of the content.
"'Blaze' Daniz...... Live or die, £4,800 ......"
One of the several passengers standing next to him read the contents of a wanted notice posted at the top, and then chuckled under his breath:
"Hey, wasn't this 'flame' worth only £3,000 the other day? Why has the price increased? ”
He pointed to the old wanted notice in the corner that hadn't been torn up.
Angel's pace slowed, and he pricked up his ears to listen.
"I've heard that he tricked Steel' Maviti and his bunch of men into killing them all in Byam."
"Where did you hear that?"
Another passenger asked curiously.
"The newspaper didn't allow it to be published, but I found out from a friend, there were more than a dozen corpses at the scene, most of them were charred, this guy must have done it, of course, there was a powerful bounty hunter who was said to help him, but this man was hiding his head and tail, no one had seen it, so most of the 'credit' went to Daniz."
"Then this guy has become a well-known pirate!"
A sigh of admiration with envy and jealousy sounded.
Hearing that Klein was not yet wanted for this matter, Angel smiled secretly, relieved himself, and prepared to leave.
"The big pirate, just him?" The passenger who had "a friend" just now continued to scoff, "It's only 4,800 pounds, not even five figures...... Just yesterday, the flagship of the 'Sick Vice Admiral', the Black Death, appeared near Byam, and it is said that the army was worried about the other side's proximity to the city, so they dispatched several warships, and it is not known whether there was a fight.
"That 'Lieutenant General of Disease' Tracy, in Rune alone, has a bounty of 25,000 pounds!"
