"You're leaving the sea and going to the Southern Continent?"

Next to the "redhead", who was in full swing for repairs, Elaine, who was dressed in casual clothes, asked in surprise.

Wearing a hood to hide her more striking appearance after her promotion, Angel nodded lightly and replied:

"We have to avoid the limelight, and the power of the Storm Church is not strong in the Southern Continent, although the 'Rose School' has its base camp there, their search focus will definitely be in the Rorsted Islands, or even the Northern Continent, and they will not expect that we will go south."

In fact, this is an outright lie, and although Angel and Klein used a pseudonym to buy tickets to the port of Behrens in West Byron via Mid-Haul Island, it was only a cover to attract the attention of the trackers.

Of course, the purpose of deceiving Elaine was to mislead the followers who came later, and to cover for herself and Klein.

"Once the ship is repaired, you will continue the smuggling trade as planned. The military and the church will not restrict you too much for the purpose of surveillance and fishing, and may even cooperate with you to a certain extent, you can properly give our itinerary and then use their deliberate indulgence to make more money and pay off my debts. ”

Angel slowly told Elaine about her plan, believing that her whereabouts would soon be revealed under the questioning of the church and the military, so it was better to let Elaine escape the effects of this incident.

Hearing this, Elaine smiled bitterly, her disguised round face was biased towards the "redhead", looking at the ship that was disassembling the mainmast and planning a complete refurbishment, and silently calculated in her heart how long it would take to earn back the repair fee.

At Angel's suggestion, she continues to wear the Ring of Frenzy instead of revealing her true face.

Although she was persuaded by Angel for various reasons, the most important thing was that she was worried that she would be used as bait to catch a target that she did not want to be arrested by the church and the military.

For example, Tracy...... Angel smiled secretly and made up a reason for the other party.

After explaining the contact code and other matters, Angel took out a note and handed it to Elaine, who took it and opened it, and was surprised to find that it read Hunter's Path Sequence 6, the recipe for the potion of "The Conspirator".

"The main materials of the 'conspirator': the compound eyes of the hunting black spider, the brain of the human lion, and the auxiliary materials: a venom gland of the hunting black spider, 80 milliliters of the blood of the human lion, 10 grams of amber powder, and two white acorns."

After obtaining the "Red Priest" card, Angel finally got the recipe and did not need to spend a lot of money to buy it from Anderson Hood, and the other party also lost a chance to make a lot of money.

Instead, she was able to sell the recipe one more time, targeting Daniz "Flame" who was seeking a promotion to keep up with her captain, who also seemed to have asked Anderson for the recipe from "The Strongest Hunter", but Anderson disappeared after separating from Klein, supposedly to complete a mission given by a demigod, so Daniz was still Sequence 7, almost surpassed by young Elaine.

Hmph, the result of selling the formula to me without reducing the price is to lose the opportunity to trade twice...... Angel thought hatefully, and said:

"I have a copy of the compound eyes of hunting black spiders, of course, this is not free, you can first look for the human lion, and then buy another part from me with gold pounds...... Or in exchange for completing the delegation. ”

"Delegate?"

"Monitor the movements of the 'Sick Lieutenant General' Tracy, as well as the whereabouts of the 'Witch Sect' behind her."

Angel replied with a chuckle, successfully seeing a mixture of pain, nostalgia, and hesitation on Elaine's face.

At this moment, Elaine's boatswain, burly, young but somewhat vicissitudes of life, "William the Lucky" came to the dock from the gangway, approached them, carefully avoided Klein, who was waiting on the side, and said to Angel:

"Miss Angelica, you'd better go to the notice board at the docks before you leave, there's a lot of information about you and that Mr. Sparrow."

He was able to notice, or rather be lucky enough to avoid the anomaly in Crane, who I heard from Klein that there was a natural "monster" in the city of Tingen who had become almost insane because he looked at him directly...... But let's look at the bulletin board, is it about the bounty?

Angel nodded knowingly, said goodbye to the two, and quickly left with Crane.

They haven't changed their appearance yet, and if they are really marked by the high bounty, I'm afraid they will leave faster.

Looking at the backs of the two, Elaine sighed a little melancholy, she knew that for a long time in the future, I am afraid that she would have to rely on herself.

William breathed a sigh of relief beside her, which drew Elaine's gaze.

"I just think Gelman Sparrow is finally gone." William explained in a hoarse voice, "Otherwise, after my publication, he may come to me for trouble." ”

“？”

Elaine asked curiously, took the stack of manuscript papers that her boatswain had taken out of his pocket, opened it with interest, and fixed her eyes on the handwritten title:

"The Great Adventurer Gelman Series: Lieutenant General of the Iceberg".

Until he left the dock, Klein felt two lines of sight linger on his back from time to time.

"Strange, I still feel that your boatswain hired Elaine has an inexplicable hostility towards me."

Crane whispered, pressing the top hat on his head to avoid being recognized.

"Maybe he's an admirer of Ling, and the name of 'the strongest adventurer' has spread to many places...... Come, let's see how much they have set a bounty for you. ”

Angel said as she approached the notice board on the docks, and quickly found the one that had not dried in the ink among the old and new wanted notices.

"It seems that Byam sent a telegram in an urgent manner and asked them to print and post it overnight...... 45,000 pounds, almost twice as much as mine! ”

Seeing the freshly baked portrait of Klein, who was only three or four points like Crane, and who was at least ten years older, and the bounty marked in red ink below, Angel exclaimed in a low voice.

The price is between "Hell Admiral" Ludville and "Blood Admiral" Seignor, and it is clear that the military and the Church have regarded Gelman Sparrow as an extraordinary person of the rank of pirate general, and the most dangerous kind.

"No, you're twice as much as me."

Crane didn't care that he had suddenly become a wanted criminal with a high bounty, and his eyes stayed on the top of the notice board, where the "Pirate King" belonged alone, and was one of the few targets that everyone talked about, but had no idea of earning a bounty.

Among the pirate kings and their lieutenants, who had not changed for a long time and had yellowed paper, a brand new wanted notice fluttered slightly in the sea breeze.

"Angelica Thatch, £100,000 bounty."

"Huh?"

Angel let out a single tone blankly, and his gaze gradually went up, seeing that he was surrounded by other pirate kings, and the image had initially approached him, and even extravagantly sketched a wanted portrait with long pale blonde hair and purple eyes in color.

Hmmm, invisible threads of silk wrapped around the wanted warrant like lightning, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the sea behind.

Bansey Harbor.

The once busy port is now empty, and what was once a transit port for major shipping routes has been marked as "undockable" on the charts, except for a few daring pirates and idle sailors who pass by to check and search for valuable items left in the ruins, and no one usually approaches.

All the buildings here collapsed, and thick scorched black marks passed through the ruins, and even penetrated into the surrounding dense forests and nearby mountains, destroying everything in their path, falling trees and landslides.

In the depths of the ruins, a figure appeared sneakily, he was dressed in a double-breasted black robe of a high-ranking priest, his dark golden hair was combed back of his head, one pupil was dark blue and almost black, the other was dull, and his facial features were three-dimensional like sculptures.

The chirping of crows and other birds was incessant, but strangely did not approach the place, even as they walked through the ruins, searching for valuable items, and the sailors who fantasized about getting rich overnight consciously avoided the place, as if they did not see the strangely dressed man.

Behind him, in a collapsed ruin, on the only intact wall, a crudely drawn monster with an octopus head, armor, waves, and lightning on his feet, with a trident in his hand held high and a cloak of bird feathers behind his back.

Judging from the direction in which the black-robed man left, it was obvious that the painting was his handiwork, but his hands were empty, and the corner of the small metal box exposed in his pocket did not look like a container containing a paintbrush.

Looking at Bansey Harbor, which had been completely destroyed by the Storm Church, his dim eyes were suddenly crawling with dense tiny blood vessels, moving from side to side on their own, as if they were out of control.

"Oh, Storm Lord."

His lips didn't open, but there was a frantic whisper.

Suddenly, the black-robed man looked to the northwest and looked in the direction of Damir Island.

"Strange, somewhat familiar, but ...... No way. ”

His right hand stiffened and hesitantly reached into his robe, and he pulled out a strange-looking card.

After a few moments, the man put the card back in its place with a frown, and staggered out of the rubble and disappeared without a trace.

————

Red Sycamore Street, Connet City, Diecy County, Kingdom of Rune.

Angel hid in the corner alley, peering out from under his hood to observe House 67 opposite.

Instead of hiding herself by stealth, she stands in a position that is not easy to spot, but can occasionally attract the gaze of passers-by.

The gaze of passers-by allows her to perceive her presence more clearly, rather than being disconnected from the whole world after being invisible.

This perception became more and more evident during the three-day voyage from Damir Harbor to Connet, which led Angel to speculate about the role and code of conduct of the "demigods".

"After being promoted, the appropriate way to play is even more important, is it inevitable after becoming a demigod, or is it my own peculiarity?"

She muttered, finally waiting for Crane's figure to emerge from the door of the opposite house.

The moment the door closed, a suppressed cry came from the room.

Crane entered the alley in his top hat, his face disguised as a "Faceling" returned to its original state, and his expression was somewhat gloomy.

He had just told his family about the death of the devoured, grazing "nightmare" in "Wriggling Hunger."

It was a "night watchman" who died on a mission, a father, a guardian.

This reminds the two of them of another "nightmare".

After a moment, Klein spoke:

"Let's go, and we will return his extraordinary properties to the church.

"Then, back to Beckland."

Angel nodded silently.

They had already started planning the trip before they set off from the port of Damir, and this was the key part:

Falsifying identities.
