Chapter 94: The Sunken Black Death
Ignoring Mr. Azik's deterrence, she suddenly made a move...... Fortunately, the calamity charm has taken effect, and it is estimated that in a short time, those two witches will not be able to take care of us...... Angel looked at the shadow of the Black Death with trepidation, and then flew forward with Mr. Azizk like a cat grabbed by the back of the neck.
The cascading patches of color quickly receded, and she could barely make out the sea below, but after just over ten seconds, it turned into a pale yellow that represented the ground, and buildings of different colors, but all very bright.
Suddenly, a sense of weightlessness came, Angel felt herself fall rapidly, solid ground appeared under her feet, and the surrounding oil painting-like colors receded, the red of the carpet, the beige of the walls, and the gray of the sofas, tables and chairs appeared in front of her.
They returned from the sea outside Byam to the luxurious suites on the top floor of the Blue Winds hotel.
Releasing the hand that was holding Angel's shoulder, Azik helped his top hat that was crooked to the side when he hurried into the spirit world, and looked at Crane, who was wearing a long golden red dress, blonde hair, except for a slightly barren chest, and a figure no worse than Angel, the corners of his mouth twitched.
He smiled...... I must want to say "it's a good fit for you" but I think it will make Klein even more ashamed and embarrassed to speak...... Angel sneered, and only a few hours away from her gaze, but she felt as if she had spent a whole day in the living room and was relieved to find that Daniz was not there.
Although the other party already knows a lot of secrets about the two, if they find out that they were brought back here from the spirit world by an angel, I am afraid that they will be so frightened that they will run away on the spot, sneak back to the "Golden Dream", and never dare to come back......
Angel...... Mr. Azik, who became the "Archon of Death" in the Quaternary......
Looking worriedly at the silent Azik, and then at Klein secretly, Angel was surprised to find that he was also worried, and the beautiful features of the "Faceling" avatar were wrinkled together.
Surrounded by the gazes of two beautiful "women", Azk's bronzed face also had a hint of strange color, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he said with a smile:
"Are you worried that after retrieving my lost memories, as the witch said, I will become the evil one in the Fourth Age that I have no impression of, and become the 'Death Archon' who started a war in the 'Pale Plague' and caused countless deaths?"
Angel pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't worried, but according to Klein's previous revelations, as well as Azik's own account, she knew that the other party would go through a cycle of death and resurrection every sixty years, and lose all memories, retaining only the necessary knowledge of life, and then start a new life, recalling the past when she was old, and then hurriedly falling into a deep sleep.
Although he prepares a suitable identity for the next life before each "death", he will always deviate from the established track in his life for decades, and various accidents will occur, such as the Rune-style town where she and Azik last met, and the cemetery outside the town, where he and his beloved daughter once lived, and the latter bury the descendants of his own hands killed in another life.
After remembering everything, the "Archon of Death" had a sad face and regret, worried that his amnesiac would cause such a tragedy again.
So he will definitely ......
"I'm worried about that, but I want to find myself again.
"The life I was arranged to be really stable, and I once said that 'I don't have the courage to touch the unknown', but now I find that losing everything in ignorance is even more terrifying."
As Angel had expected, Mr. Azik said slowly, the vicissitudes and confusion in his deep brown eyes replaced by firmness.
"I promise, I won't become like that, and I won't forget you."
He added, holding down his top hat with one hand and stroking his chest with the other, making a rune-like gentlemanly salute, and stepped back into the rippling void, his figure disappearing into the room.
And also...... Angel muttered silently in his heart, standing still and not moving, and so did Crane.
"By the way, there's one more thing," Mr. Azik stepped out of the spirit realm less than ten seconds after leaving, and glanced at the two of them expectantly, with a disappointed look on his face, "Don't go to Bansey Harbor lately, it's been destroyed by the Storm Church. ”
"Destroy, not simply purge the cultists?" Angel asked in surprise, unable to help but think of the strange inhabitants there, the flying skulls and the delicious pig blood that he didn't have a chance to taste, "Is it because of the 'calamity'?" ”
"Not only that, but the 'God of Weather' worshipped there reminds me of a certain high-ranking potion sequence, the 'Weather Warlock', if I remember correctly, it belongs to the 'Hunter' path, and the ancient Bansey, who was once the Angel of the 'Hunter' and the descendant of the 'Red Angel' Medici, has fallen in the Quaternary Age, dead at the hands of the 'Blood Emperor' Alista Tuddor.
"In the face of possible remnants of angelic power, the Storm Church cannot be overly cautious."
Red Angel, Medici ...... I heard Mr. Fool mention that this is a king of angels, but I didn't expect him to die at the hands of the "Blood Emperor" of the Quaternary Age, which is exactly the same as what happened to the evil spirits in Bakeland's underground...... Could he, no, He be the "Red Angel"?
I almost took His word for it, collected the blood of three Quaternary royal descendants, and released Him?
Angel couldn't help but feel scared for a while, she looked at Klein, who was present at the time, and found that the other party's face was also a little strange.
After explaining what had happened to Bansey Harbor, Azik stepped into the spirit realm again and left, and based on past experience, he probably wouldn't be coming back again.
With a breath of turbidity, Angel lifted the Faceling effect of the "Hypocrisy" Ring and sat down directly on the single sofa against the balcony.
After experiencing the battle with the witch of the same sequence, the confrontation with the "ageless" witch of sequence 3, and the confrontation between the two high-sequence extraordinary people, she was exhausted physically and mentally, and she just wanted to sleep well.
But there are still too many things to solve, the clues of the Grim Reaper literature and the "artificial Grim Reaper", the chain of human trafficking of the Witch Sect, Lola's true identity, Azk's memories, the threat of the "ageless" witch Katerina, the possible revenge of Tracy, and Elaine's future fate......
Angel, who was full of muddy, looked at Klein as if asking for help, and found that he was tiptoeing towards the bedroom, as if he was about to change out of this expensive golden red dress, and quickly jumped up from the sofa and stopped him.
"Change back, let me see."
She smirked evilly, blocking the only access to her bedroom.
"This, that's not good......"
Crane, who was calm and calm in front of the pirates, played Elaine, but at this time, his face was red, he felt uncomfortable, and subconsciously refused.
"Let's, I, look, look."
Angel rubbed her hands together and emphasized again.
……
In the corridor outside the door, "Blaze" Daniz walked up the stairs with a tired face, he had just settled Elaine, the red-haired lady who had been sought and offered a bounty by all parties, and returned to the hotel late at night. The 1,500-pound bounty made the battle-hardened pirate and adventurer quite excited, but the thought that he was worth four times as much as the other party extinguished the illusion of reporting it to the authorities in exchange for a bounty.
Pacing to Gelman and Angelica's suite, he reached out and grasped the doorknob without knocking, as usual, ready to push it in.
But this time, the not-so-low spirituality of the "Pyroman" issued a sharp warning like the whistle before the main cannon on the "Golden Dream" fired, causing his outstretched right hand to freeze in mid-air.
If you push open the door at this time, maybe, no, you will die...... A drop of cold sweat broke out on Daniz's forehead, and he decisively chose to trust his spiritual intuition, turned back without hesitation, and walked down the stairs, preparing to buy a supper for Elaine, who was also a "hunter", and then go to the "Red Theater" to spy on the non-existent "blood general" informant.
Tonight, even if he dies outside, he won't come back here.

"The storm is with you!"
Clenching his right fist to his left chest, Alger Wilson bowed to the bishop of the Wave Church, and then asked in a low voice:
"Your Excellency Chogory, what is the matter with summoning us?"
He was accompanied by several other tall Storm Cultists, who, unlike Alger, who was ostensibly a pirate, were all registered officials and worked closely with the local Rune Navy.
"The storm is with you!" Very satisfied with the other party's attitude, the bishop of the Wave Church, Qiao Gori, replied with the same etiquette, and said solemnly, "Urgent mission, the navy has dispatched two clippers, but there are many extraordinary people among those pirates who fell into the water, and it is difficult for the military to deal with them. Prepare to board Alger's ship and go to the sea ten nautical miles northeast of the port of Baiam to assist the military in the search. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Alger replied without hesitation, but his heart was full of doubts.
His "Blue Avenger" has docked in a nearby private port, preparing supplies to leave Byam next week to obtain the main materials for the "Wind Favorer", and going to sea temporarily at this time will disrupt his plans.
As if sensing the doubts of his subordinates, Chogori explained:
"At dusk, the Black Death, the flagship of 'Lieutenant General 'Disease' Tracy, appeared near Byam, but instead of attacking the harbor or plundering ships leaving the harbor at night, it approached quietly and prepared to leave quietly.
"But just half an hour ago, the pirate ship full of sailors, no less than ten extraordinary, and even the 'Sick Vice Admiral' himself suddenly disintegrated on the water, and according to the reports of the ships witnessed, the entire 'Black Death' instantly turned into countless decaying fragments, and hundreds of pirates fell into the water and fled in all directions.
"Your mission is to assist the military ships in capturing as many pirates as possible who have escaped from the water, especially those who are on the list, and although Tracy should have fled the scene, if you meet her......"
Jogory glanced in a certain direction, the highest point of Byam, where "Aquaman" Cottman lived.
Alger's eyes lit up, and he bowed his head and replied, "Yes!" ”
He turned around and left the Wave Church with a few storm believers and rushed to the private harbor outside the city, constantly thinking about how to prevent this mission from affecting the rest of his "private work".
But as the carriage drove away from the city, Alger's heart gradually turned cold, and his face turned uncontrollably pale.
He remembered that two weeks ago, on the route between Byam and Midrange Island, one of the main ships of the "Sick Vice Admiral", the "City Breaker", was also reduced to decaying fragments under the mysterious attack, and there were no casualties.
That is, the masterpiece of Miss "Queen" of the Tarot Society......
Recalling the other party's seemingly harmless beautiful face and innocent eyes, Alger suddenly felt that his actions after inviting the other party to participate were the wrong choice.
His own "Phantom Blue Avenger" won't also sink quietly, right?
