The breath of "calamity"?

The first word that came to Angel's mind turned out to be "Bansey".

She remembered the island where the curse had been found, the eerie harbor, the foggy, windy night, and the body that had lost its body, its body that had lost its head.

And then there's the bloody mountaintop cave, the "Storm Bishop" who initiates the sacrifice with the living, and finally the rune that sent himself to Trier, thousands of miles away.

According to Mr. Azik's investigation afterwards, all this is undoubtedly related to the smell of "disaster".

"Reminds you of 'Bansey Harbor,' huh?"

As if aware of everything she was thinking, Bernadette's blue eyes looked at Angel.

She guessed it...... However, it is also easy to understand that the first time "Angelica Thatch" appeared on the wanted notice was due to the killing of a bishop of the Storm Church, and this incident happened in Bansey that is easy to investigate. As the Pirate King, Bernadette will most likely go to Bansey Harbor, which was razed to the ground by the Church of the Storm, and with her strength in the high sequence, and possibly even reach Sequence 3, it is not difficult for Mr. Azik to smell the "calamity" contained in it......

Angel thought for a moment and nodded.

"That's where my ability to destroy half of the Black Tulip comes from."

She took the initiative to confess the matter in order to get the help of the learned "mysterious queen".

"This power is unlike anything I've ever seen in an extraordinary power, and it may even contain some kind of high-level 'authority', and in your current state, it's not good to know too much...... But at least that Caterina didn't deceive you, and your promotion was on that island. ”

Bernadette didn't continue to explain, but instead turned to the potion material.

"But how do you know for sure?" Angel asked rhetorically.

"The name of Sequence 3 of 'The Voyeur' is called 'Master of Prophecy', and you can understand that I can 'prophesy' to some extent, or rather, 'Voyeur'."

Sure enough, the "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette has reached the level of Sequence 3, and as the king of pirates, this is a reasonable height...... The other three kings, such as the "King of the Five Seas" Nast and the "Immortal King" Agaritu, are also Sequence 3? It's no wonder that the laughter of the "Death Number" almost made all the members of the "Future" out of control......

Angel nodded, no longer questioning.

"Then, I'll send you to that island, just as we are going to pass through the Mid-Range Island and return to the Misty Sea."

Is it because the "Dawn" of the "Mysterious Queen" is over there? Angel looked at Bernadette and saw that she didn't say anything more, so she agreed to the arrangement.

She had already digested the "Pain" potion at this time, and if she could get the Sequence 4 potion as soon as possible, it would undoubtedly be more helpful for her next promotion.

After all, the promotion ceremony of "despair" requires a demigod to take potions in despair, and the sooner the materials are gathered, the sooner this difficult ritual requires corresponding preparations.

……

Over Sona Island, about a four-hour flight from the medium-range island, wisps of green phosphorescence suddenly appeared in the thick clouds.

They expanded silently, and soon formed a ship that was about 100 meters long and narrow, narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, and then a three-masted galleon, with its entire body black and high sails, appeared in the phosphorescent light, illuminated by the crimson moon above the clouds, as if floating in the clouds.

But in the next second, it began to follow the laws of the real world, was pulled by gravity, and began to fall slowly.

As soon as Angel on the deck felt the wriggling color patches of the spirit world fade away, and a clear night sky appeared in his vision, he noticed that his feet were about to take off, and the heart in his chest seemed to float upward.

No, it's really floating, this "Queen Anne's Revenge" is in free fall at an altitude of thousands of meters!

As soon as she figured out the current situation, she looked at Anne beside her, and wondered if the actual controller of the ghost ship had mistaken the height of her appearance because she was too happy to recognize Russell's daughter.

"We're on Sona Island right now, right above your destination, isn't it more convenient to go directly to the shore than to send you to the shore?"

No, I don't need this convenience...... The corners of Angel's mouth twitched, and he cautiously walked towards the edge of the deck, and soon felt the wind blowing over the edge increasing, indicating that the speed of the ship was getting faster and faster.

Hmmm-

The night sky around her suddenly turned gray and white, and Angel felt the air she inhaled become damp.

"After passing through the clouds, it will soon reach the ground," Anne still stood still, as if it was not her and her boat that had fallen to the ground, but a cotton flower, "I will disappear into the spiritual realm at a height of 100 meters, and you can just land on the ground with 'lightness' yourself." ”

Doesn't sound like a solid solution......

Angel tried to look down, but was blown away by the strong wind, and had to make her struggle back to the middle of the deck in a semi-weightless state, only to find Bernadette walking towards her, holding a bundle of pale blonde hair.

"Put this away, maybe it will work later."

As she spoke, she handed Angel the bundle of hair.

You're chestnut hair, Anne is brunette, this hair can't be mine, but when did you take away so much hair...... Angel took the hair strand and looked at it, feeling more and more familiar, but in the face of a Sequence 3 extraordinary, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only stuff it into his pocket first.

"This is also the ...... of the 'Master of Prophecy'"

Before she could finish speaking, her eyes lit up, and green phosphorescence flashed.

The Queen Anne's Revenge and Bernadette had disappeared into the night sky, and Angel, who was still falling due to the disappearance of the huge hull, swayed left and right.

“……”

Swallowing the unfinished words into her stomach, she immediately entered a state of "lightness", and the downward trend suddenly slowed down, and then she looked down and found that the pitch-black ground was close at hand.

Fortunately, "lightness" did not slow down, but made her body extremely light, a gust of wind can blow, with the help of invisible silk threads, Angel reduced the speed to an acceptable level before landing, landed on both feet, and stood firmly on the grass, avoiding the end of being smashed into pieces of magic mirror.

"If you had changed to Sequence 5 by a different path, would you have fallen to your death in this situation?"

Angel muttered, thinking back to all the avenues she had seen, and suddenly realized that everyone seemed to have a way to avoid this possibility.

"Maybe the craftsman will die here, but they might be able to pull out a lot of magical items to solve the problem."

Shaking her head, no longer dwelling on the problem, she looked around and saw that the landing point was a meadow that was not very wide, surrounded by low shrubs, and there were scattered buildings in the distance, like a village.

Retracting his gaze and pulling out the magic mirror, Angel decided to do a divination first.

"The Magic Mirror tells me where something unusual is happening on this island?"

Instead of asking directly about the location of the black-striped shadow scorpion, which is likely to go unanswered, she asked in general terms.

Having just returned to reality from the spirit world above Sona Island, and getting the corresponding information from Caterina and Anne, this is more likely to succeed.

Sure enough, after a brief moment of gray fog, the Magic Mirror appeared to look down on the sparse low houses, winding country lanes, and surrounding plantations.

Just when Angel thought that the divination would continue to point to a more specific location, the scene cut off.

"There was interference, but it wasn't strong...... Maybe I'm not getting enough information? ”

She frowned and put away the magic mirror, looking at the scattered buildings not far away.

That's the village where divination is taking place.

"Take advantage of the darkness to visit the village and perform dream divination or directly use the 'sleep' charm...... But beware of the presence of official extraordinaires. ”

Quickly deciding on a strategy, Angel left the grass where he had landed, bypassed a patch of bushes, and soon came to the vicinity of the buildings.

But the initial results of the investigation surprised her.

The plantation seems to have been left untended for a long time, the crops are lacking in nutrients, and the ground is overgrown with weeds; The buildings in the distance are warehouses attached to the park, and the fruit waiting to be shipped out of the park has long since rotted, and even a hint of fermented wine can be smelled.

Idling mills, stinking breweries, deserted dwellings...... Angel walked past the buildings and quickly walked around the small village, but found no one alive.

Not even a corpse.

"Abandoned plantations and villages, missing residents...... Why is this place even weirder than Bansey Harbor? ”

Angel muttered, found a house, broke down the door, walked past the dining table with the smelly meal, came to the bedroom, picked out a piece of clothing, and used the magic mirror again to divination, and found the location of the owner of the clothing.

It was a land with a lot of digging marks.

Looking at the soft soil, the shovels and other tools used around, Angel didn't have to think about it to guess that the "owner" of the clothes was buried in the ground at the moment.

"Could it be that there is a paranormal event here similar to that of Bansi Harbor, where the villagers are partly killed and partly flee, and the official extraordinaires have abandoned the village after cleaning up and burying the bodies?"

Angel hesitated, walked around the soft ground a few times, and soon found some evidence such as blood stains and bullet casings to confirm his thoughts.

Fearing that she would dig up monsters such as "Flying Heads" and "Headless Living Corpses", she did not try to dig up the corpses, but searched the small village again for more clues and the "starting point" of the incident.

Since Caterina, Bernadette, and even Anne had confirmed that there was something weird here, she chose to believe it.

……

Soon, Angel makes a new discovery as she searches the abandoned houses, and she finds a hidden basement beneath the mill, which spins in the wind but is quiet inside.

The entrance to this place has been deliberately blown up, and from the traces of lightning burns around it, it is likely that the "substitutes" used spells, but the collapsed passage is like a smooth path in front of Angel, who has the combination of "Black Flame" and "Flame Jump", and she quickly passes through the gravel blockage and enters the secret room deep in the basement.

The crunching sound of machinery echoed through the dull chamber, where the power of the overhead mill from the windmill was transmitted, driving a crudely crafted piece of equipment that ran like a flour grinder, but a dull red stain of blood instead of the yellowish of flour.

Although the area around the chamber has been simply cleaned, you can still smell the stench of rancid and bloody, and it is clear that it was a bloody sacrificial ground like the mountaintop cave outside Bansi Harbor before it was cleaned up by the "substitutes", and even incorporated some "modern technology" to make a flesh mill.

With a deep sigh, Angel looked at the ground in the center of the cleaned secret room, and sure enough, she found a series of less obvious traces in it, and after a simple patchwork, she quickly confirmed that this was a set of spell combinations with the same origin as Bansi Port, but slightly different.

"So...... Now that I'm dripping my own blood, there's a good chance I'll go to the catacombs of Trier through a ritual like I did in Bansey Harbor, or maybe another strange location? ”

After confirming this possibility, Angel did not try recklessly, but returned to the ground first, looked at the crimson moon overhead, and whispered the name of Mr. Fool.
