After a not-so-long journey through the spirit world, Angel and Klein were carried by Mr. Azik back to the "Blue Wind" hotel in Byam.

The penthouse, which had not been occupied for a week, remained clean and tidy under regular cleaning, and the three of them landed right in the middle of the living room, and after the rich color patches dissipated, a glimmer of rising sunlight shone into the room from the balcony, painting them with a layer of gold.

It's been so long?

Squinting at the rising sun above sea level, Angel pondered.

It was Tuesday evening when I entered the nameless island, and it would not be more than midnight to end the hunt for the "Gazer", and I had been in the spirit world for more than five hours, excluding the time difference between the two places?

However, fortunately, the crisis was resolved, and not only did he get the extraordinary materials of the "Gazer", but also obtained a "ghost ship", although the latter did not seem to follow the command very much, and it could not be used as a combat force in the short term, but compared to the expectation before the departure, it was much better......

Angel thought to herself, looking at Klein, who was taking off her trench coat soaked in the sea, feeling her gaze and looking this way, a smile squeezing out of her tired face.

"You have to keep that drop of blood just now," said Mr. Azik, who had been silent all the time, "She, no, should be called him, is the angel of Sequence 2, and this blood is the blood of a true mythical creature." ”

"Mythical creatures?"

Angel asked curiously, and Crane gave him a puzzled look.

"You have all faced the unborn children of the 'True Creator' in Tingen, and you should have felt its oppressive power that is different from ordinary extraordinary beings, because it has a trace of 'divinity' in its body."

Azik simply sat down on the couch and narrated.

"For each extraordinary path, when promoted to Sequence 4 and entering the high sequence, the Extraordinary will also gain divinity and gradually evolve into the corresponding mythical creature, so there is an essential difference between Sequence 4 and Sequence 5. Every demigod has its own mythical creature form, its appearance is inhuman, and its essence is the complex knowledge possessed by the extraordinary, the manifestation of divine qualities, ordinary people, and even the middle and low sequences will suffer heavy damage even if they look at it, and even become crazy directly.

"The higher the demigod's personality, the stronger and more difficult it is to resist this explicit damage, so every high-level extraordinary person must always control himself and not let the mythical creature form be exposed. Once out of control, out of their minds, and unable to rein in their mythical bioforms, their presence will cause great disasters to the surrounding area.

"This kind of process of maintaining oneself at all times, and not relaxing for a moment, will continue from Sequence 4 to Sequence 2, gradually changing from 'incomplete' to 'complete', from a mythical creature that is half-human and half-god, to a mythical creature that touches true authority.

"Whether complete or not, even a drop of blood of a mythical creature possesses a person and power far beyond that of the middle sequence, and the complete mythical creature of Sequence 2 was even called 'from the gods' in distant antiquity, and touching their blood is equivalent to direct contact with the mythical creature. Oh, if just black ...... The Queen Anne's Vengeance did not seal His blood in advance, and the mere display of that blood before your eyes could have wreaked havoc on you, or even caused you to spiral out of control. ”

"Her name is Annie."

Angel added that it was still hard to believe that the barefoot girl in a pale yellow dress was an angel from Sequence 2.

"It looks like you're having a good time with Him, and that's a good thing."

Azik said with a smile, his eyes turning back to Klein.

"During your brief battle with Anne, He 'exiled' Crane and imprisoned you to the Spirit Realm, without causing substantial harm, which is quite restrained for a Sequence 2. He seems to have obeyed your orders and did not attack me? ”

"Yes, Anne and I have reached an agreement for the time being, limited to the above terms, I can't elaborate, but this ghost ship of the Fourth Age should be able to help us at a critical moment."

After that, Angel briefly told the two about what happened after he arrived on the "Queen Anne's Revenge" in the spirit world, but concealed the content of the terms that needed to be kept secret, and only said that the relationship between the two parties would not change for five years.

"I didn't expect that in the Fifth Age, this ghost ship went through so many things, and was even taken under the command of Russell the Great, and finally exiled to the depths of the ocean......"

Azik sighed, a look of remembrance on his face.

"After I came into contact with Him, I also remembered some things about the Pale Plague, as the 'Ageless' Witch Caterina said, I was the 'Death Archon' of the Grim Reaper, and I launched a war that swept across the Northern Continent together with the relatives and followers of the Primordial Witch, and this being who became a god in the Quaternary Age seems to have other plans, but I at that time, and now I, have no way of knowing the details."

Primordial Witch, Sequence 0 of the Witch Path, Chick...... Thoughts crossed Angel's mind.

She had heard Caterina talk about the Pale Plague on the Black Death, and knew that both the Grim Reaper and the Primordial Witch were the initiators of this disaster that divided the Fourth and Fifth Ages, but listening to Azik's words, it seems that the real purpose of the Primordial Witch Chick is not here?

Seeing her lost in thought, Azik got up from the couch, his upper body a little thin wearing only his shirt.

"I'm going to travel to the Southern Continent in the near future, where I'm looking for more distant memories, which may involve the mystery of my origins, and even some truths that I deliberately avoid and don't want to face......"

There was a rare hint of uncertainty on his face, causing both Angel and Crane to stand up and look at him.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, in these days, I have confirmed my thoughts, and no matter what, this life also occupies the most important place in my mind." His eyes became gentle again, his expression returned to calm, and a black mole loomed under his right ear, "As for you, it's best to make items like my copper whistle for your messengers as soon as possible, so that you can summon them at any time." The blood of that mythical creature should also be well preserved, it has great power and can save your life if necessary. ”

My blood can create the "Calamity" charm, and it seems to have some kind of power, and I'm not even a demigod...... Angel muttered, seeing that Azk stretched out his hand and pressed it on his head, he reacted that he was not wearing a top hat, and put down his hand with a smile, ready to leave, and hurriedly said:

"Thank you for your timely help this time, Mr. Azik, and I wish you a smooth trip to the Southern Continent."

"I didn't help you much, you've solved the problem yourself," Azk squeezed his eyes and smiled kindly, "and the friendship of this ghost ship is all due to your own efforts, and this is no more than five powerful ships in history combined, with the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 2." ”

After saying that, he walked backwards into the spirit realm, and the color of the carpet and walls in the living room changed instantly, and returned to normal.

Angel and Klein stood there for a moment, relieved to make sure that Mr. Azik would not be going and returning.

For tonight's encounter, and for the safe return of the two.

"Let's go straight back to Byam, the 'Blue Avengers' and Mr. Alger shouldn't know yet......"

Angel suddenly remembered this important event, and she sat back on the couch to pray to Mr. Fool to relay the news of her and Klein's safe return.

Crane also walked silently, returned to the bedroom, changed out of his clothes and pants soaked in the sea, returned to the living room, bypassed Angel, who was buried in his head and whispered the name of the fool, and prepared to push the door and leave.

"Where are you going?"

Angel, who was about to pray, looked up and asked.

"Dealing with the negative effects of 'Creeping Hunger'......"

Crane replied without looking back, his hand already touching the doorknob.

"Wait," Angel stood up with a calm face and came behind him, "what's wrong with you?" ”

From the moment she returned to the living room from the spirit realm, she noticed that Klein's mood was wrong, taciturn, and depressed, and even when Mr. Azik explained the "mythical creatures", he didn't ask about it.

"I ...... I just don't think it played a role in last night's battle," Crane replied in a low tone, and he didn't turn his head to look this way, so that Angel couldn't read his expression, "When Anne 'exiled' me, I even felt like I was going to lose you again......"

It turned out to be ...... It's a little thing......

Angel breathed a sigh of relief, and she reached forward with her hands and hugged Klein from behind, clasping the other man's body despite his struggles.

"Aren't the reminders of Arodes, the help of Miss Courier, the divination before the battle, and the performance of the Gazer in the battle against the 'Gazer'? Without your company this time, I wouldn't have gotten the potion materials I needed, let alone come across the Queen Anne's Vengeance......"

She pressed her cheek against Crane's back and whispered, feeling the shy struggle of the other party gradually stop, and the sound of the heartbeat reaching her back became more and more violent.

"Besides, with Anne's strength, even if you wear 'Wriggling Hunger', we can't beat her, and the final result will not make any difference. She didn't mean anything bad to us, we just misinterpreted her. ”

"In the end, I ......"

Crane jerked around and hugged Angel, blocking back her words before she could speak.

"Thank you, thank you."

Looking at Klein, whose eyes were slightly red, the corners of Angel's mouth turned up, knowing that he had finally calmed down the other party's negative emotions.

But Klein's ensuing movements made her exclaim again.

"Wait, wait a minute, I'm not done yet......" She quickly broke free of her grip and took two steps back, "I still have something to hide from you for a long time, that is, in Tingen, Mr. Fool ......"

"I know." Klein pressed in.

"You already know? Nataro would ......"

"I know."

"The 'Queen'? Hmm, wait......"

"I know."

"How, how do you know?"

"Because I am the 'world.'"

"Huh?"
