Angel turned his head a little reluctantly, until Anderson got up in embarrassment, and then asked:

"Would you like to sell the Sequence 6 potion recipe?"

Such a straight ball seemed to make the "strongest hunter" not very adaptable, and he was obviously not as awake as Angel who carried the "Hidden Holy Emblem" in his dream, and when he heard this, he laughed strangely, slapped the floating ash on his body, and stepped forward, stared at Angel for a moment, and said:

"Strange, could it be that I lost too much money on this adventure and fantasized about a lady who was willing to buy a potion formula?"

"I hired Future."

"Okay, okay, I know what you're going to say, you want to leave me alone in this sea and wait to die, right?"

As soon as Angel raised his face slightly, Anderson immediately raised his hand in surrender, as if he thought of the bad joke he had made here and almost been killed as an out-of-control extraordinary, and quickly returned to his senses.

"Sequence 6 potions of the Hunter's Path are 'conspirators', but aren't you a witch? Why buy this formula? ”

He asked rhetorically, puzzled.

"For a 'fireman' friend, she's about to be promoted."

"She? It can't be the captain of the 'Redhead', right? ”

"You know her?"

Now it was Angel's turn to be surprised.

"Of course, there are many hunters in the five seas, but there are not many women, especially those who have become extraordinary in the middle sequence at a young age." Anderson smirked at his well-informed voice, "Although I've always wanted to meet that lady, the price can't be less, 2,000 pounds, and the recipe belongs to you." ”

£2,000...... Angel counted her savings with some heartache, and when she left the sea and paid the balance of the "Star General", she only had 3,500 pounds left, although the Sequence 6 potion recipe was not expensive to sell for 2,000 pounds, but she was still a little hesitant.

After repeated tug-of-war with the hunter, who seemed to be more excited in his dreams, the other party was reluctant to let go when it came to 1,800 pounds.

"Less than that, I'd rather not sell."

Anderson snorted, stopped talking, and paced to the side to observe the mural.

Seeing this, Angel didn't keep the other party, she was going to ask Daniz if she had gotten the recipe for Sequence 6 on the other side, or if she had worked the "Red Priest" card, but she couldn't find a clue, and then went back to buy it from this unlucky and greedy hunter.

But within a few minutes, Anderson was running back down the hall at a brisk pace.

"Be careful! Someone's coming! ”

Someone?

Angel was secretly vigilant and looked in the direction where the other party was running, and it didn't take long for a black-haired man in a short robe to run into the hall at a very fast speed, his face wrinkled and sweaty, as if he was being chased by a demon.

"Help! Help me! ”

He shouted, and ran towards Anderson, who dodged in a graceful manner, passing between the two murals and hiding behind the stone walls, as if he were standing idly by.

The black-haired man looked in Angel's direction again, only to find that her figure had disappeared at some point.

“……”

Stunned for a second, he took another step and ran in the direction of the black monastery gate.

Behind him, there was a sound of metal colliding with the stone floor, and a tall figure emerged from the darkness.

It was a giant sword warrior wearing a black full-body armor and a helmet of the same color, the eye sockets under the visor glowed crimson, staring straight ahead at the black-haired man, not interested in Anderson who poked his head out again and Angel who came out of invisibility.

Bang, bang.

With the sound of metal boots stomping, the man and the armored warrior disappeared into the mural hall one after the other, leaving Angel and Anderson looking at each other.

"Not from the Future?"

Anderson asked.

"I haven't seen him."

Angel replied honestly, but felt that the two men were somewhat like the "Black Sage" and his "mirror image" that Crane had said.

Maybe they have a clue to the "man in the mirror"?

Angel's mind moved, and he chased after them in the direction they had left.

Returning to the square in front of the Black Abbey, she found that the pirates who were drinking and chatting here had been frightened by the black-armored warriors to dodge everywhere, but Nina, who was a little irritable, threw away the wine bottle and wanted to go up to meet it, but was completely ignored by the other party, and the two figures quickly chased out of the square and ran to the edge of the cliff.

In the chaos, the black-haired man in the short robe ran twice around the boulder on which Gardelia sat on the top, and finally found an opportunity to shout to the "Giant Court" on the other side of the cliff:

"Thou art the All-Knowing Almighty, O Creator of all, and Thou art the root of all greatness...... Ah......h

He was almost taken by the black-armored warrior's greatsword, and with a strange scream, he ran faster.

“…… You are the beginning and the end; You are the god of the gods, you are the ruler of the vast astral plane! ”

As the ancient Hermetic recitation of the honorific name of an existence ended, the cliff between the "Court of the Giants" and the "Black Abbey" revealed its true face in the sea of clouds, a wide and bottomless gap, as if someone had carved a crack in the earth that reached the center of the earth.

And the huge palace on the opposite side condensed a twilight light, as if it was about to shoot to this side and establish a passage!

Except for the black-armored warriors and black-haired men who were still surrounding the monolith, all those present had their eyes on the magnificent palace opposite.

…… And then nothing happened.

The black-haired man who was being chased up and down seemed to be unable to accept this fact, and looked at the other side in a bit of a daze.

"My Lord...... Yes! ”

He leaped nimbly, dodging the greatsword that slashed at him, but also bogged himself between boulders and cliffs, with little to dodge from.

Suddenly, vines emerged from the ground and grew wildly between the two, forming a lush forest almost instantly, separating the entire land in front of the monastery from everyone, and the black-armored warrior angrily slashed the vines with his giant sword, slashing the peas all over the ground, but failed to break through and kill the black-haired man.

"This 'Black Sage' of the Aurora Society is very similar to you, he encountered an item that can create a 'mirror image' in a certain ruin, so he was divided into two different personalities," Angel suddenly heard a familiar voice next to her, she looked sideways and found that it was Bernadette who had changed into a dress and trousers combination, "but the difference is that he was 'split' in reality, and moreover, he was split into a 'kind personality'." ”

"You mean, that black-armored warrior is his true body? The black-haired man who was hunted down was instead a 'mirror image'? ”

Angel asked in surprise, and then a strange thought came to her heart:

If the good personality of the Aurora Sage was the black-robed man who was chased up and down, then what he just recited was the honorific name of the "True Creator" that the Aurora Society believed in? But don't I remember "the Lord behind the Veil of Shadows, the depraved nature of all living beings......

And if you kill the "evil body" in your dream, can you make the "Black Sage" become a "good one" who has eliminated the evil in his heart?

Could this be what the previous "man in the mirror" intended to do to me...... She suddenly felt a hint of happiness.

As if sensing her thoughts, Bernadette shook her head and said:

"In reality, in order to solve in reality, to kill his 'essence', you need to go to that dangerous ruin, and anyone who enters will be 'copied' in the same way...... Except for you. ”

Except for me...... Because I have solved the problem "in advance" in the dream, and other people, especially good people, will appear when they get to that ruin, and the evil "man in the mirror" will appear?

Angel guessed, and suddenly found that the vines around him began to burrow into the ground, and it seemed that they had achieved their mission.

"When you leave this sea, you will go with me to find Anne."

With such a sentence, Bernadette beside her disappeared as if blending into the surrounding twilight light.

She disappeared with the "Black Sage" separated by vines and his "mirror image", leaving only the pirates who noticed the sudden end in the middle of the excitement, and the thoughtful "Star General" Gardelia.

……

After leaving the dream, the "Future" continued to sail through the calm seas, passing one strange ruin after another, but no one dared to explore, and soon came to the same place where they entered, the ruins they had avoided in the first place.

But unlike the day we came, there was a three-masted schooner about 40 meters long parked next to the ruins.

"Get ready!"

Boatswain Nina shouted, and all the sailors who were still on deck went into combat positions, watching the sailboat warily.

But until the two ships staggered by, there was no movement there, and the deck was empty, as if it were a ghost ship.

Gadelia stepped out of the inner cabin, came to the side of the ship, looked at the sailboat, took off her thick-rimmed glasses with a solemn face, and her dark purple eyes flashed with a light, and soon a pair of huge eyes of the same color appeared above the sailboat, as if the pirate general's gaze was extended, and turned around the deck, found a hatch and got in.

Everyone, including Angel, waited with bated breath for the results of her exploration.

"It's strange there......" After a few moments, Gardelia put her glasses back on and said, "They seem to have come to explore the legend of the Fountain of Youth, but the whole ship is gone, there is blood everywhere, and ......"

She seemed to find the words a little difficult to describe, and pulled out a handful of colorful powder from the inner pocket of her robe and sprinkled it in front of her, sketching a clear picture on the deck.

This is much more powerful than the magic mirror divination...... Angel was stunned to look at the "high-definition surveillance footage" and found that it showed an elaborately decorated room, most likely the captain's quarters, with a lot of blood stains on the floor inside the room, and a Fursak word written in blood on the floor:

"Fountain of Youth—"

The long bloodstain in the back was dragged to the door as if it hadn't been finished.

Angel immediately imagined that the captain of the ship, when he was seriously injured and not yet dead, left a clue to the "Fountain of Youth" with his own blood, but was dragged away by the enemy before he could finish writing.

"Unexpectedly, the legendary 'Fountain of Youth' is actually in this sea area?"

Anderson, who had entered for the treasure hunt and was almost wiped out, said excitedly.

"I don't know if I can rejuvenate after drinking......"

An apparently older pirate took over expectantly.

"Who would leave any clues to the treasure hunt before they die? His crew is dead, and the next person to find him will not be his friends or relatives, but only the name of the murderer. ”

Nina stood aside and watched the picture, and said with a sneer.

Her words seemed to wake everyone up, everyone argued for a moment, and most of them agreed with the boatswain's words, the blood words of the "Fountain of Youth" were either left by the murderer, in order to attract more prey, or it was a misleading message, so it was not erased by the murderer, in short......

Come on!

With the order of the "Star General", the "Future" bypassed the three-masted galleon that had become a coffin and escaped from this sea area as fast as possible.

……

After once again experiencing a falling and rising cliff in the sea, Mirai returned to its normal sea, with the falling waters behind it, a storm obscuring the sky in the distance, and a full crimson moon overhead.

Listening to the cheers of the pirates on deck for the rest of their lives, Angel came to Klein's room and said in his astonished gaze:

"I'm going to be away for a few days."
