Chapter 5: Careful Planning

The plan to forge an identity was drawn up by Klein, and the two carefully designed it to ensure that they would not be traced to their maritime identities with a total value of nearly £150,000.

"My first target is the Antigonus Family Notes, which is stored inside the church of St. Samuel, and according to the rules of the night watchman, it must be locked in the depths of the Chanis Gate, protected by a whole team of night watchmen and several internal watchmen, with multiple seals to defend against outside intrusion."

Sitting in a café on the outskirts of Connet, Crane whispered his plans to Angel as he wrote on a piece of paper.

Both of them used the Faceling's abilities to change to an ordinary southern face of Rune, which made Angel a little uncomfortable, and she stared at the blonde man opposite, always feeling that the other party looked a little like the underbeaten Anderson Hood.

Crane didn't notice her gaze, but continued to talk about his plan.

According to the plan, he will travel to Beckland from Desey County to seek development as a mysterious rich man, trying to get in touch with the middle and upper echelons of Beckland, as well as getting close to the Church of the Night.

Klein's hand holding the pen paused for a moment and explained.

Of course, such an identity must be subject to a certain amount of scrutiny when he comes into contact with the upper echelons, and he has done a good job of camouflage accordingly to cope with different levels of scrutiny, even if the last layer of identity is revealed, he is just an ordinary extraordinary person with a criminal record, not "Former Night Watcher" Klein, or "Crazy Adventurer" Gelman.

During this time, she reused the "Hypocrisy" ring to make subtle adjustments to her appearance, changing her hair color to the usual black of Rune, slightly widening her cheeks, and her eyes a little larger than before, which combined with the physical changes of the "Pain" and "Despair" potions, made her look completely different from the Tingen period, and only three or four points similar to "Angelica Thatch".

Of course, this has to do with the fact that Marcy has been a small neutral country since its independence from Fenerport 600 years ago, and it can be said that it is a holy place compared to the tensions between several major powers.

That's right...... I have important things to do!

I always felt like he was hiding something...... Angel stared at the sealed file bag and snorted twice with slight dissatisfaction, letting Klein go for the time being.

"At least until I find and solve Ince, I can't reveal my identity, otherwise it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the other party, a demigod who can monitor and rewrite the 'story' around him, once he wants to escape, no one can catch him......"

Even before the "official meeting", the two do not know each other's names and appearances, so as to create a real "first meeting" atmosphere.

Under the other party's arrangement, she will return to Rune and return to Beckland as a young single woman who has lived in Intis for a long time.

Klein will depart today on a steam train ride through South Wales and East Tuckershire to Beckland, where he will be able to operate in a new capacity.

This is the lesson of the Ring of Madness blood...... She looked in front of the mirror for a moment, pleased with her disguise.

“…… Ahem, I haven't decided on my own, and when you get back to Beckland, you'll know who I am. ”

Angel, who crossed the land border for the first time, found that the border inspection here was unusually relaxed, and did not delve into her fake identity, only looking at the ticket and identity documents and easily letting it go, compared to the rumored conflicting borders of Rune and Intis.

Crane ignored Angel's complaint and recrossed the paper, enclosing him with Angel and Beckland.

"You're already richer than I am, and I'm going to pretend to be a rich man, trying to get close to you, a beautiful single lady, and finally reach a partnership in a reasonable way."

“…… A female witch who was persecuted by the Witch Sect and fled from Intis to come to the Witch Sect's newly cleansed Beckland to survive? ”

This is the most important step in "whitewashing" identity, and it is the foundation of the first disguised identity, so the two have to leave all kinds of traces in person, and deal with the scrutiny that will inevitably come, instead of buying fake identities only with money.

On top of that, these changes can be disguised through changes in wigs and facial muscles, even without the use of the Faceling's abilities, giving Angel a long-term image that does not rely on the "fake" ring, avoiding the negative problems that occur when wearing the ring for a long time.

Angel had to cross the entire county of Desey westward, enter the neighboring country of Marcy, and return to the kingdom of Rune under a new identity, and then to Beckland.

This is also the reason why Angel wants to return to Beckland as a Rune who has lived in Intis for a long time, and there is constant friction between the two countries, and there is almost no cooperation between the official extraordinary and the military in the dark night and storm, and the follow-up investigation is difficult, so there is room for falsification.

Although it occurred to him that the last identity needed to be done something unexpected in order to satisfy the official extraordinaire who had asked for the bottom of the matter, Angel's eyes still widened and he was surprised to hear about Klein's plan.

The advantage of this identity is that it can naturally be close to the middle and upper class circles of Beckland, single, beautiful, and golden, two of the three adjectives will be wildly sought after by Beckland's wealthy merchants and low-level aristocrats, not to mention that she has all three.

A moment later, a pinch of black emerged from Angel's sight, and the curled up black cat Winza rolled down the table, blue eyes appearing on the surface of the pitch-black fur, looking at her.

Twenty-six-zero-five: fsevenzero-zero: four-three: six-zero-zero-zero:: seven-four-four

Hearing Klein's "arrangement", Angel couldn't help but laugh.

This is not difficult with the help of demigod-level divination and instigation.

Angel also remembered the tragedy in the city of Tingen and the Great Smog of Beckland, and was silent for a long time before asking.

Based on the different identities of the two, they will return to Beckland in batches in different ways, and then establish their identities on the surface.

In this way, he will be able to gather information and find an opportunity to invade the church of the Church of the Night while continuing to investigate the Great Smog, enter the Chanis Gate to steal the Antigonus Notes, and find the recipe for the Sequence 4 potion.

This is a very reasonable "premise", once it is censored by the Orthodox Church, Angel's identity as an extraordinary person will almost certainly be exposed, which makes the source of her wealth seem less legitimate, so it should be rationalized in a way that can be accepted and imagined by the investigators.

"Dorkin, me?"

The gold pounds she had now on her body were worth more than 10,000 pounds after receiving the payment from the hangman, but it didn't last long, and after helping Elaine pay part of the maintenance money, it fell back to 9,500 pounds, which was enough for her to live a middle-class rich life, but she was probably not "rich" in Beckland.

County Diesi was close to the western border of the Kingdom of Rune, and Angel took a steam train from Connet early in the morning and crossed the border in the evening into the small country of Marcy, sandwiched between Fenerport and Rune.

The lilac harmonica emitted a silent ripple, automatically summoned through a ritual solidified on it.

Angel quickly withdrew her gaze, set up a spiritual wall in the hotel's bedroom to keep out prying eyes, and then sat down at her desk and played the harmonica that she hadn't had a chance to use since.

Besides, I still owe Miss Courier 10,000 gold coins, and if we all pay half of them, my assets will be reduced again...... She thought to herself, a little distressed.

"That's why you arranged a triple identity for me?"

"Moreover, I don't think there is a chance to use this identity, the main targets of the Church of the God of Steam and Machines are teachers and scholars with certain professional knowledge, emerging factory owners and low-level workers, and there are basically no nobles and the military, even if they have doubts about your identity, it is difficult to intervene in the investigation."

As a veteran "Faceling", even the investigator's reaction was considered in advance...... Angel pursed his lips and secretly aimed at the part of the information that belonged to him in front of Klein, but was covered by the other party and put into a file bag.

"This is the greatest satisfaction of the 'mechanical heart' who chased Intis to dig deep into your experience, and this identity also gives you the opportunity to take refuge in them and make meritorious contributions as an informant, and if you ask for it, those wealth of unknown origin and various forged identities are not a big problem.

In this way, all you have to do is start from Marcy tomorrow and go all the way back to Beckland......

Klein explained with some hesitation.

……

"In the same way, once you come into contact with the real nobles and military personnel in the middle and upper classes, you will face various identity and background checks, and the purchased identification alone will not be tenable, you need a second 'persona', an extraordinary person who has grabbed money through less legal means, come to Beckland to launder his name, and prepare to live a high-class life."

Of course, this is not without loopholes, if the "mechanical heart" of the Steamchurch is responsible for the review, they may ask Intis's colleagues to help, and the second fake identity will be quickly revealed, which will require the last identity to be disguised.

Those extraordinary traits and magical items can be sold for a lot of money, but they have to return to Beckland to have a chance to sell, and most of the Extraordinary Gatherings are unable to take on this level of trading.

She sorted away her identity documents, sorted out her clothes, weapons, and magical items to make herself look more like a traveler who had come all the way from Intis to the dust, and then looked out the window at the crimson moonlight, imagining what Crane was doing at the moment when he had already embarked on his journey.

It always feels like it's showing weakness because I'm worried about its position, so I haven't summoned it for too long?

Angel chuckled, then quickly straightened his face and said solemnly:

"I've been promoted to 'Despair', it's time to have a good conversation with you about the 'Witch Cult', and your past."
