Chapter 87: Extraordinary Characteristics Aggregation?
After another day's trek, the trio returned to Byam, the "City of Generosity" on the Blue Mountains Island, on Thursday.
After receiving a lot of concerned news and taking away some of the Grim Reaper documents collected by the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg", Angel and Klein were very satisfied with the journey of the past few days, except for Daniz, who reluctantly said goodbye to his friends who gloated on the "Golden Dream" and became Adwina's "Liaison Ambassador to Baiam".
Of course, as Fourth Boatswain and Sequence 7's "Firesonist", he doesn't just stay in the lavish suite of Azure Wind to listen to the radio, waiting for his captain to contact him with séances and dreams.
Before leaving the Golden Dream, Adevina hired Angel and Klein as intermediaries to help her provide aid to the rebels who were fighting against the Rann colonization and the Storm Church in the Rorsted Islands, and Daniz was to play an important role.
These rebels were mainly local residents, some of whom demanded that the colonies manage their own affairs, and some of whom wanted to expel all outsiders from the islands, with different demands but no less drastic means.
Most of them are followers of the "Sea God" Kavituwa, cooperating with adventurers and pirates who want money and death, and even have the official support of Intis and Fusak, and from time to time missionaries from the "Eternal Sun" and "God of War" churches secretly come across the sea to help them fight against the expansion of the Storm Church.
Ten days ago, when the "Poseidon" swept up a tsunami and tried to attack Byam, the rebels cooperated with the Poseidon fanatics to launch an offensive everywhere, although the decline of Kavituwa exceeded everyone's expectations, and they encountered the combined blow of the Rune Navy and the Church of the Storm, and suffered heavy losses, but it was still the unofficial number one force in the Rorsted Islands, and even the pirate generals did not dare to provoke easily.
Therefore, the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" provided assistance to them, whether it was a charcoal in the snow, a secret gesture of goodwill, or a ......
…… In order to show goodwill to the forces behind me and Klein who can grasp the power of the "Sea God" and easily kill the "Lieutenant General of the Hurricane"? After all, the believers of "Poseidon" are now also believers of "fools" in a sense......
Angel leaned back on the single sofa by the balcony and thought as she looked out the window at the gradually darkening weather.
After returning to Byam yesterday, Daniz has been busy contacting the rebels, determining the time for assistance, arranging for the private port to receive supplies, and she and Crane take turns accompanying this great pirate who has a bounty of 6,000 pounds on his head and does not dare to go out without disguise, so as to prevent him from being recognized and arrested to receive the reward.
In the past two days, she has also seen countless rebel fighters hidden in the dense jungle of the Blue Mountain Island, under the cliffs of the bay, most of them are not even extraordinary, or even have little education, but the Rune colonists, investment merchants, in order to destroy the primitive faith, spread the power of the gods and the more ruthless means of the Storm Church have driven them together, forming a force to be reckoned with.
In the escalating confrontation between the two sides, the rebels also began to disregard the lives of the locals, and there were fierce methods of exchanging wounds for wounds and blood for blood, and they were even carrying out primitive bloody sacrifices...... Fortunately, now that Mr. "Fool" took over, he promulgated a new "Ten Commandments", prohibiting the believers of "Poseidon" from killing innocent people and sacrificing them with living people...... Angel thought with relief.
"If it weren't for the rhetoric of the believer named Ralph who made me donate £100 to a charity fund that helps local children, I would have liked their ...... more."
Her heart ached when she thought of the gold pounds she had lost yesterday when she went with Daniz to meet the rebels in the mountains and forests.
Mr. Fool has never taken so much money from me!
With a hateful stab, she scrapped a nearly completed "Sleep" charm, crimson lightning swirling across the surface of the silver sheet, and the power gained through prayer instantly dissipated.
This evening, it was Klein's turn to accompany Daniz out, and she was in the "Blue Wind" inn to replenish the various charms that had been consumed recently, and she had made several of the two types of "Sleep" and "Dreamland" that she used more, and she could still give them to Crane and Daniz if she couldn't use them up, but Angel was still a little hesitant about whether to continue to make "Calamity" charms.
This kind of charm, which does not require praying to the gods to gain power, but has great destructive power, is almost impossible in the occult. And the spell is also closely related to herself, and can only be made by her own hands, using her own untreated blood, or even only herself.
She had tried to hand it over to Crane to try using a "scourge", but soon found that the others were unable to infuse the spirit at all, and even if they recited the activation spell, nothing would happen.
There is no doubt that this is a peculiarity that is unique to me...... Angel looked at the only "calamity" in his hand, filled with a trace of spirituality, and watched the rusty dark red and the destructive aura of darkness circulate between the runes, as if it would erupt in the next second, bringing irreversible calamity to everything that came into contact with it.
"I have never seen such power in Panatia, the 'Desperate Lady'...... This is certainly not the extraordinary ability of the 'witch' pathway. Of course, they don't have the peculiarity of my resurrection after death...... Could it be that my two resurrections from the dead in Tingen and Beckland, and the mysterious runes of Bansey, and the power of the 'Calamity', all stem from the same power? ”
Angel muttered, suddenly remembering that on the Golden Dream, Edwina had said about the "attraction" of attracting pirate generals and pirate kings to the vicinity of Byam.
Is there some kind of attraction in her peculiarity?
"Russell the Great once said, Whoever separates must be united, and whoever is gathered must be separated."
Before returning to Byam, the cold voice of the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" echoed in Angel's ears at this moment.
"Crush the polluting properties and let them aggregate on their own."
Azik's hint also came back to her memory.
Angel suddenly thundered in his head.
"Will the extraordinary characteristics of the 'witch' in my body attract other extraordinary people who are also witches?"
After settling on such an idea, she immediately found other corroboration.
Beginning with Lady Sharon, all the extraordinary people of the witch path have appeared around me, the assassin named Randy, Tris, Mitis who has not yet turned into a witch, then the witch cult of Beckland, and even now, Tracy has come to the vicinity of Byam...... Angel counted the "witches" who appeared beside her one by one, and was surprised to find that there was not enough one hand.
Of course, the low sequence, or even the middle sequence, should not have such a strong mutual attraction, otherwise the twenty-two pathways of the Extraordinary would have gathered together long ago...... But perhaps my peculiarity will produce a "convergence" ability that is much greater than that of mere extraordinary characteristics, so much so that countless "witches" have appeared around me without me even realizing it...... Angel felt more and more that she had the truth.
By the way, and the "Hunter"!
She vividly remembers that the evil spirits trapped in the underground ruins of Beckland promised her a reward in order to gain her freedom, saying that the "witch" could jump to the "hunter" path in sequence 4, which may have meant that there was some kind of similarity between the two paths, so that Dominic, Daniz, and even Elaine, who had escaped from Tracy, appeared by her side.
"That's why I saw both the 'Witch Card' representing the witch and the 'Red Priest Card' representing the hunter in the abandoned city after my death?
"They are adjacent, even close-knit avenues!"
After coming to this conclusion, Angel stood up from the table with some excitement, paced to the balcony, looked out the window at the sea shrouded in dusk, and wanted to find someone to share this joy, but remembering that Klein was not around, he regretfully returned to the living room.
She had no intention of continuing to make charms, so she put away her tools, separated the three "Sleep", the three "Dreams", and the only "Calamity" for easy access at any time, and then continued to wander back and forth in the living room.
"This should be close to the truth, but what exactly is the 'speciality' of my own body is still undecided, maybe I can consult Mr. 'Fool', well, of course this has to be paid, such as more Russell's diary...... But I've made that promise the last time I deposited the tainted Dark Night Emblem, and I haven't found a single page of my diary!
"I should have bought some from Lady Edwina on the Golden Dream, she must have collected a lot, but I was all about watching Daniz's jokes about copying the Grim Reaper's writings, and I blamed the hunter for his defiant face...... But there's another hunter I can find, the hunter of Indis! ”
She froze suddenly.
Elaine Sauron, a descendant of the nobility of Intis who was kidnapped by Tracy and recently escaped, did her family be active in the political scene of Intis during the Quaternary period, and even played an important role in the assassination of Russell the Great, did they keep the Emperor's notes?
Thinking with some excitement, Angel took out the close-fitting magic mirror, set it up beside the desk, and recited:
"The Magic Mirror tells me where Elaine Sauron is."
The mirror turned pitch black, and then a puff of smoke emerged, finally reflecting the face she was looking forward to.
Failed? Angel raised her eyebrows in surprise, remembering that she still had the frozen bottle of Elaine blood, and found it again, using it as a medium to perform the same divination.
This time her divination broke through the interference, and soon the red-haired Elaine appeared in the mirror, dressed as a man, with her hands tied behind her back, sitting in a small boat, her face full of anger, and several roughly dressed sailors around her rowed hard, sailing the boat away from the dock, and from time to time covertly casting their lustful eyes on this beautiful lady.
This...... Elaine, caught again? Is she really the Sequence 7 Extraordinary?
Looking at the picture in the mirror, Angel fell into deep thought for a moment.
