Chapter 5: Incidents in the Suburbs
Chapter 5: Incidents in the Suburbs
Emlyn paced back and forth, but no matter how hard he thought, he could not think of any way to find the few original moon believers designated for the hunting competition.
Backlund has a population of over 5 million, with complex power relations, various secret organizations have members entrenched in it, and there are countless wild Beyonders.
Trying to find a few guys who are hiding deliberately is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
He could narrow the scope: Those original Moon believers would definitely attend the Beyonder gathering, there was no doubt about that, otherwise why would they come to Backlund? For tourism?
But he could only shrink like this, and no Beyonder would reveal his true appearance when attending a party.
Emlyn considered whether to directly join the Beyonder gathering to search for those original Moon believers—he still had great confidence in his nose.
As long as the target was no more than 10 meters away from him, he was confident that he could detect the scent of an artificial vampire. However, not only were there a large number of Beyonders gatherings, they were all secretive, and just knowing which gatherings there were was a big problem.
He didn't think he would be so lucky to join the gathering of the original moon believers.
"There will always be a way..." Emlyn kept repeating, "There will always be a way."
After thinking for a while, he really couldn't think of any solution, so he could only go to the Harvest Church dejectedly, put on the priest's clothes, and began to wipe the candlesticks in the church.
This time, Emlyn wiped it very carefully, as if he wanted to vent all his troubles on the dust and dirt.
Half an hour passed, and Emlyn had wiped the candlesticks clean until they were spotless, clean and bright, and even Emlyn's face could be reflected on them.
But for some reason, Emlyn felt that the face reflected on the candlestick was not his own face, but the faces of Russ Bathory and other vampires.
He felt that the vampires were laughing at him, laughing at him for not being worthy enough to compete with them, rather than laughing at his identity as the savior of the vampires.
Emlyn's face began to twitch, and his hands clenched into fists, shaking continuously.
Ever since Marquis Nibais told him that he was the savior of the vampires, ever since Mr. Patient summoned him, and ever since he joined the Tarot Club, he has been proud of it.
He felt that he was completing the task assigned by the ancestor and thought he was doing a good job.
With the help of the Tarot Club, he bought the special inheritance from the Hanged Man and was secretly promoted to Baron. He always thought that this progress was quite good.
He is not even seventy years old yet, and has only been an adult for a few years. There are not many vampires who can be promoted to baron at this age.
However, even though he had been favored by the First Ancestor and had been promoted in his sequence, up to now, he had not made any merits or contributions to deserve this honor. This feeling was very bad.
"Like, I'm a fake savior
"Lord," he said in a low voice while sitting on a chair in the church, gritting his teeth, "even I don't think that I am worthy of this honor now...
Yes, it was just a simple hunt, but he was at a loss. He had no idea how to handle the small tasks assigned by the earls and marquis.
Even if he was given the title, how could he help the tribe survive the end of the world? How could he become the savior favored by the ancestor?
Emlyn didn't notice that his flesh was wriggling and darkness was seeping out - this was a sign of losing control.
His teeth are growing longer, his eyes are getting redder
At this moment, a shadow as big as a mountain covered the light in front of him, causing him to look up. When he looked around, he saw only the mountain-like figure of Bishop Ultravsky.
"Bishop? What's wrong? I didn't wipe it well enough.
"Emlyn stood up and asked.
"You are showing signs of losing control," Father Ultravsky said straight to the point, "Resist, don't be too anxious, and don't accumulate too much stress."
Emlyn was stunned for a moment, raised his hands and looked carefully.
After taking a look, he realized that his nails had grown unnaturally long.Emlyn was stunned for a moment, then he raised his hands and looked carefully. Only then did he realize that his nails had grown unnaturally long.
He took a deep breath and began to meditate. As he meditated, the squirming flesh and seeping darkness gradually disappeared, and peace returned.
"Thank you, old man," Emlyn stood up again, "I almost lost control."
"No need to thank me, Father White, thank Mother God, thank mother, life is precious and the harvest is joyful." Bishop Ultravsky turned around and was about to leave.
It was not until this time that Emlyn noticed that Bishop Ultravsky was carrying an absurdly large sword, and for some reason that sword made Emlyn feel uncomfortable.
"Hmm... old man," Emlyn spoke after a long while, "where are you going?"
"Outskirts," Ultravsky replied, "There's some very bad news coming from the church and its parishioners. As the head of the Church of Mother Earth in Backlund, I have to go there and deal with the bad situation."
"Bad situation?" Emlyn repeated, not remembering Bishop Ultravsky doing anything similar before. "What bad situation?"
"To put it simply, there are some evil cultists out there," the bishop said calmly, "filthy cultists who can make men give birth to children. I must go over there and eliminate those evil people."
"Why not hand it over to the Nighthawks or the Punishers?" Emlyn still didn't quite understand. "I remember that the Church of the Mother Earth has no law enforcement authority in Loen."
"Because some priests of the Church of Mother Earth have also fallen," Ultravsky replied calmly, "In this case, I have the right to handle the internal affairs of the church."
Emlyn wanted to say something, but suddenly he saw that Bishop Feysac was carrying the magical item that could transfuse blood, and he immediately understood that the old man was serious.
"That great sword," Emlyn changed the subject, "I don't think I've seen you use it.
"This is also a magical item. I call it [White Light Broadsword]. It corresponds to Sequence 7 of the Sun Path. The side effect is that if used for a long time, it will turn people into believers of the Eternal Sun." The giant bishop paused and continued.
"But the Sequence 7 of the Warrior Path is called [Weapon Master], which can reduce the side effects of weapon-related magical items, so I won't become a believer of the sun."
In other words, the old man didn't use his full strength when he attacked our family? At least he didn't use the great sword that could have a strong restraining power on us!
Emlyn's eyes widened, and he instantly understood what Sherlock Moriarty had said:
"Father Utravsky was a former pirate who probably killed more people than your father ever saved... a relatively successful and always alive
Cold War. Thinking of this, Emlyn couldn't help but shudder.
"No wonder the Warrior Path is known as the path that is best at frontal combat. As long as the seal is a weapon, they can even greatly suppress the side effects. In this case, all they need to consider is the power of the weapon!!
"Moriarty is right. There is a reason why this old man has become a relatively successful pirate.
"Wait, pirates?" Emlyn suddenly thought of something and hurriedly stopped the bishop who was about to go out to the suburbs.
The mountain-like bishop turned around and faced Emlyn. Under the pressure of this huge body, Emlyn swallowed his saliva and spoke carefully.
"I heard Sherlock Moriarty say
But you used to be a pirate. No, no, no, I don't mean to ask about your past. I just want to ask a question.
"Pirate, if you want to rob, you must find the target, right? The sea is so big, how did you find it?"
"It's very simple." Ultravsky obviously didn't feel offended by the question and said frankly.
"Each pirate group will have its own line
Those informants, especially those with extraordinary talents, would hang out in various bars, casinos, and brothels, and get all kinds of information from them."
"If you want to rob a merchant ship guarded by a Beyonder, you need to have your informant develop a second-level informant in the Chamber of Commerce, such as servants and domestic servants."If you want to rob a merchant ship guarded by a Beyonder, you need to have your informant develop a second-level informant in the Chamber of Commerce, such as servants and domestic servants. These are all good candidates for development."
"If you want to challenge the authorities, you have to hire bounty hunters and visit official institutions in large numbers to understand their general movements and formulate a thorough and detailed plan."
"What if I have done all this and still haven't found the target?" Emlyn continued to ask.
"If that's the case, it means that you need to wait patiently for your target to arrive." The bishop said calmly.
at the same time
West End, somewhere
"Do you know what your mission is?
X?" The man in the black robe sat on a chair. In front of him, another man in a black robe knelt on one knee with his head lowered, as if listening to the holy words.
"Yes, Lord Dark Saint."( Chapter 6 New Membership
Chapter 6 New Members
The man known as the Dark Saint nodded and continued speaking.
"Since you know your mission, please repeat it again, X, what is your mission?
"Take over A's position as the head of the Aurora Society in Backlund and rebuild the Aurora Society's power in Backlund," the Aurora Society's envoy known as X said immediately, "In addition, there are the following tasks."
"First, recruit members of the Aurora Society, spread the Lord's gospel, and fill the vacancies caused by the failure of A's plan."
"Second, look for the followers of the Fool and bring the Lord's excommunication to those who blaspheme."
"Third, investigate the [Witch Cult] and find out what those androgynous guys were trying to cover up with the Lord's coming."
"We must investigate whether those guys stabbed us in the back and deliberately caused the Lord's coming to fail."
"Fourth, figure out what happened to A, where he went, and why he is still alive but cannot be found."
The Dark Saint nodded, apparently satisfied with Mr. X's answer. After a moment, the demigod spoke again.
"After the Backlund smog incident, the three major churches and the military kept a close eye on us, which made our reconstruction work very difficult. We could encounter accidents and crackdowns at any time."
"So I chose you, the [Traveler], to rebuild it. This way, if something unexpected happens, you can at least teleport away with a few Middle Sequencers."
"Go down and start your mission immediately." "Yes, sir!!"
Sunday passed quickly, and Monday came quickly.
There was nothing noteworthy happening on this Monday morning, so when the Tarot Club was held as usual in the afternoon, everyone had enough free time and space.
In the hall above the gray fog, in front of the unchanging long table, deep red lights lit up, and figures with deep red ripples appeared on the high-backed chairs.
"Good afternoon, Mr. [Fool]~ [Justice] Audrey's voice was as cheerful and cheerful as ever. At this moment, she was surprised to find that there were two new members at the party!
All members stood up and saluted the patient, and the two new members were only half a beat late.
"Good afternoon, Mr. [The Hanged Man]~" She began to greet the other members. In this way, the two new members would know the code names of the other members and there was no need to trouble Mr. Patient to introduce them one by one.
'How thoughtful! Klein silently praised Miss Justice in his heart and said, "This is Ms. Pope, and this is Mr. Lover."
[Hermit] Cattleya looked at the two new members carefully. In the past, she only needed to use her [Eye of Peering] to see the general origins of these people, but she no longer dared to attend a meeting without wearing glasses.
Even so, she still saw some clues.
"Even through this gray fog, you can see
These two people are weird, Cattleya thought to herself, "The man's clothes are obviously asymmetrical, just like the style favored by the Solomon Empire in the Fourth Epoch.
[Black Emperor] Descendants of Solomon? A family of angels from the Fourth Epoch loyal to Solomon?"
'Mr. Fool valued this gentleman's background, so he invited him to join the guild?
While the Hermit was sizing up the new member, the Hanged Man was also sizing up the new member, but he was looking at another one.
"Those ears, that kind of hair... An elf? Or a pure-blooded elf? Pure-blooded elves still exist in this era... Where did Mr. Fool find this?"
"Elves... Elves are usually obtained through sailors, right? Maybe I don't have to buy the potion formula from the [World] anymore, this elf probably has it!
Thinking of this, Alger's body immediately relaxed, and he felt a sense of relief that he had saved a lot of money.
[Sun] Derrick seems to be acting out of character
The observation of a new member named "Pope"
Her identity was quickly confirmed.
"Her attire is exactly the same as in the textbook. Could it be that this elf is from the [Forsaken Land of the Gods] like me?" Derrick couldn't help but wonder.
Besides me, there is finally a non-human member. [Moon] Emlyn is in a good mood. 'As both of us are extraordinary races, perhaps we can become friends.
[Justice], on the other hand, followed the attitude of [audience], observing the two people:
"From the way she sits, it seems that Madam Pope has little patience, and her personality is a bit impatient, even irritable. Considering that she is an elf, a sailor?!
[Lover] Sir, this is very strange. My intuition tells me that I cannot believe my eyes... Illusion? No, this is Sir Patient's kingdom of God. How could he be allowed to use illusions...!
Fraud?!
"Mr. Fool," The Hermit came back to his senses and stopped looking at the new member, "I collected three pages of Roselle's diary this time."
"Very good." Klein nodded, "You can think of a request now."
Just as Klein summoned Roselle's diary and read it carefully, his [lover] Mobet was also observing everyone carefully.
Miss Justice seems to be a member of the Responsibility Clan, although I can only vaguely see her clothing, which is different from the asymmetrical aesthetic of the Empire."
"But my intuition tells me that the clothes are very expensive, and only nobles can afford such expensive clothes.
Mr. Hanged Man's hair is dark blue…similar to some of the elf half-breeds I've seen before.
He is most likely a Beyonder from the Sailor Path, and he has a steady temperament, is obviously experienced, and his strength is definitely not bad.
Mr. [Moon]'s eyes are red... vampire? The possibility that he is a mixed-race cannot be ruled out.
"The entire Solomon Empire knows that Count Trunsost is pursuing Queen Ornia of the Blood Clan. Who knows if he succeeded?
[Magician] Miss, there seems to be a sense of laziness... A very lazy Beyonder? Apart from this, there seems to be nothing more to be seen."
Why does Mr. Sun's outfit look so familiar? Ah, I remember that a Silver Knight in Lord Medici's Red War Legion was dressed like this.
"That silver knight often comes to the family to drink, and when he gets drunk he brags that his attire is the standard attire of the [Silver Kingdom], which is under the [Giant King's Court]. Is [Sun] related to the Giant King's Court?
The Hermit's temperament is annoying... just like those wizards in the Moss Ascetic Order who think they know everything.
"I really don't understand how that organization survived Solomon's crackdown and survived until now... Is it because that so-called [Hidden Sage] protected them?"
[Pope] Siatas didn't think too much about it. Her eyes were more focused on [The Hanged Man]. She could feel that he and she had similar bloodlines. As for the so-called Roselle diary, she had no interest in it.
She had heard from Vice Admiral Edwina of Iceberg how legendary Russell Gustav was, but that was all.
Compared to that human who is not even a god, the epic war between the [Elf King] and the [Destruction Wolf] is much more legendary.
[The Fool] Klein quickly finished reading the three pages of Roselle's diary, and Cattleya also prepared her own questions...
Russell turned his gaze to Sequence 0. Klein answered [Hermit] Cattleya's question and looked at the thoughtful crowd. After a moment, he nodded.
"You guys start."Chapter 7: Clues to the Elves
Just as Klein was about to manipulate the World to tell the Sun that he had the formula for the Notary potion, Alger, the Hanged Man, spoke first.
"I want to purchase the potion formula of [Ocean Singer]." He glanced at [World] and pretended not to see him.
"I have it," [Pope] Siatas said immediately, "What do you want in exchange?"
"I don't have any cash on hand, so I hope you can consider paying in installments." The Hanged Man said without hesitation, "Name your price."
"4,500 pounds." Before the meeting, Siatas and Mobet discussed and analyzed the prices of various extraordinary items, so she directly gave the price she thought was appropriate.
Klein looked at this scene with mixed feelings. He suddenly regretted inviting the [Pope] and [Lover] to join the order.
Mr. Hanged Man discovered that Ms. Pope is an elf, so he plans to bid for the property from both parties and choose the one with the lowest price?" Klein roughly understood the Hanged Man's thinking.
"I never thought that I would be fleeced by the mother of The Hanged Man…
Seeing that [The World] did not offer a price, [The Hanged Man] breathed a sigh of relief. This indicated that the price offered by [The World] would definitely be higher than 4,500, so he could be said to have saved some money.
The [World] could only pretend not to care and traded the [Notary]'s formula with the Sun.
The subsequent transactions went on as planned. [Hermit] traded meteorite crystals with [Magician] and [Justice], and the cerebrospinal fluid of hunting black lizards, and communicated with the world about the blood of mythical creatures.
As the [Pope] watched the transactions proceed one after another, he could no longer suppress his inner thoughts, and after the transaction between [The World] and [The Hermit] was completed, he immediately put forward his own commission.
"I want to know where else in the world I can find elves."
This question made everyone present turn their eyes to the [Pope], making her suddenly feel like she was being spied on, but she quickly overcame this feeling and continued.
"I'm willing to pay you £300 for this question." Her money was given to her by Edwina earlier.
"I can answer that question," said the Hanged Man. "The reward will be deducted from the cost of the potion formula. Do you want to hear the information only for yourself or for everyone to hear it?"
"No problem, everyone listen together."
Seeing that his financial crisis was further alleviated, the Hanged Man was in a very good mood, and he told the information he knew without reservation:
"After the Cataclysm, the number of pure-blooded elves has become fewer and fewer, but there are many half-bloods."
"If you want to find a half-blood, go to the Rossde Islands. Those with blue hair are half elf half-blood, and the other half is the genetic trait of the Sailor potion."
"If you want to find pure-blooded elves, you can go to Sonia Island, where there are many elf relics."
"At the same time, it is also recognized in the world as the last place where elves are said to appear, at least that's the case within my knowledge."
"But if you must find a pure-blooded elf, I can still share some private information with you." The Hanged Man recalled a scene from the past...
That was nearly twenty years ago, when he and Qi Lingges worked as servants in the church together. Qi Lingges had been planning to escape, but he had no such intention.
It was an ordinary day, but on that day, the island of my hometown was attacked by pirates.
The Loen military's coastal defense artillery roared and spewed fire at the pirate fleet. The cannons on the pirate ships also fired back until the coastal defense artillery was blown into ruins.
Led by the Beyonders, the pirates landed on land and started a fierce battle with the Punishers who had been waiting for a long time.
The [Made in Punishers] should have suppressed the pirates' offensive with the help of the seals, but the pirates also had cannons to help them. For the low and medium sequences, it was really difficult to resist the power of the giant warships' cannons.
Even with the help of the seal, it is difficult to gain an advantage when all the coastal defense guns are destroyed by the pirates.If the bishop of the church and the captain of the Mandated Punishers had not joined forces, the Mandated Punishers would have been defeated long ago. However, with the participation of the pirate leader himself, the situation on the battlefield changed instantly.
After the big pirate defeated the church bishop and the captain of the Mandated Punisher, he slaughtered the remaining Mandated Punishers. Then, the pirates captured the church and looted a large number of sealed objects.
It was when the captain of the Punisher and the bishop of the church joined forces to fight against the big pirate that Alger, who was fighting with ordinary pirates nearby, saw it.
He saw the true appearance of [Admiral of Deep Water], whose mask was blown off by the Bishop's attack—an elf.
At the end of this tragedy, Admiral Deepwater fled, leaving behind the devastated town and church. Since the island was located at the junction of the Sea of Rage and the Sonia Sea, and very far to the east, its geographical location was extremely remote.
So it was not until the next day that [Sea King] Yann Kottman finally arrived, full of anger but unable to do anything.
● I am not used to the violent line, and the old one runs very slowly
Since that day, Alger never saw Qilingos again. It was also because of their brave fight with the pirates that day that they were chosen to be sailors of the church and left their homeland.
"...I can tell you clearly that [Admiral Deepwater] is an elf."
Although [The Hanged Man] Alger recalled his past, he would definitely not reveal his past, but this did not prevent him from revealing things about [Admiral Deepwater].
[Hermit] frowned. It was not like she had not fought with Admiral Deep before. She had always gained the upper hand and Hal Constantine had always escaped in a panic. However, she had not realized that the guy was an elf.
'The sea monster features on that guy's face are disguised by a mask?' She carefully recalled Admiral Deepwater, 'Is that a magical item that can block my [Eye of Prying Secrets]? I really didn't see it...
Sitting in the patient's seat, Klein was also recalling the information he knew about Admiral Deepwater. After sorting it out, he found that he only remembered the following key points about this pirate admiral:
With an underwater ship, a proven sea monster bloodline, and a bounty of up to 25,000 pounds.
[Pope] Siatas was obviously very satisfied with the information about [The Hanged Man], but before she could speak again, [Lover] Mobet got there first.
"I wish to know the detailed information about this Admiral Deepwater."
At this moment, everyone realized that the [lover] and the [Pope] knew each other in real life and had a good relationship.
"I will answer this question for free, because anyone who reads newspapers can basically understand what kind of person Admiral Deepwater is." The Hermit pushed his glasses and continued speaking.
"Let me explain it to you in the simplest and most general way. [Lover] first
born. "
"Among Admiral Deepwater's crew, there is a Sequence 6 [Devil], and that demon is his most loyal subordinate. You can probably guess what this pirate vice admiral is like and his abilities, right?"
"In addition, he has an underwater boat that allows him to travel underwater, making him extremely difficult to find."
Demon... Siatas repeated it in a low voice. She knew very well what "Demon" meant. In the Second Age, the demons had not yet retreated to the abyss and were still rampant on the earth.
All elves hate demons, and she found it hard to imagine that there were elves who would be so depraved as to allow demons to serve under them.
This most likely means that as the captain, Admiral Deepwater is even more cold-blooded and brutal than the devil.Chapter 8 Competition
After a while, Siatas raised her head and looked at everyone.
"If I say I want to kill Admiral Deepwater, will any of you be willing to help?"
"Oh?" Emlyn was obviously a little surprised by this commission. "I can see that you are also an elf, right? Are you planning to kill your own kind?"
Among the vampires, it is not uncommon for them to fight because of huge conflicts. However, unless they are lunatics who cannot control their bloodthirsty desires and will cause harm to the tribe, it is unlikely that anyone will really kill their own kind.
In the blood clan, killing one's own kind is a very serious crime. Anyone who dares to do so will definitely be judged and purged by the earls, so Emlyn is very sensitive to things like killing one's own kind.
"After the Giant King Ormir betrayed the Three Clan Alliance and sold out the Blood Clan ancestor Lilith, leading to her demise, I listened to the teachings of His Majesty Sonia Solem."
Siatas spoke slowly.
"Never trust giants, never hunt vampires, never pity demon wolves, never despise dragons, never ignore alien species, never think you have killed the immortal.
"Finally, His Majesty also emphasized one point
"Never let any demon go."
Above the gray fog, there was deathly silence.
Listed by [Elf King] Sonia
Hmm... Everyone was silently repeating this name in their hearts, and they all looked towards the Pope unable to help but look at him.
"She has listened to the teachings of the Elf King?!" The Hermit thought in disbelief, his thoughts racing through his mind like lightning.
"That was the ancient god before the Cataclysm! The ancient god of the Second Epoch! The Pope actually listened to the teachings of that ancient god and lived for thousands of years?!"
'And she obviously doesn't have divinity... Where on earth did Mr. [Patient] find her?!!
The Magician's thoughts are similar to those of the Hermit, and he is shocked by the Pope's background.
"The ancestor died from the betrayal of the Giant King? [Moon] Emlyn's thoughts were also in a mess. This is impossible. Why is there no record of this in history books? Is this [Save the Emperor] just making it up?
"No, that's not right. Her source of information seems to be an ancient god of the same era. It shouldn't be fake... Hmm... Wait a minute, an ancient god can't know everything.
Maybe the Elf King is also wrong.
'The name crossed the minds of the Elf King of Sonia Solem [Sun] Derrick and [Hanged Man] Alger at the same time, but their thoughts were different...
The Sun was merely shocked that yet another trace of an existence known to the City of Silver had reappeared, while a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to the Hanged Man.
"I can take on this mission!!" Before anyone could react, [The Hanged Man] Alger said immediately, "I am willing to help. What I want is simple: the spoils of war after the mission is accomplished!"
"I'm sorry, Miss Pope, I suddenly changed my mind. I won't buy the previous potion formula. Anyway, you haven't materialized it to me yet, so you haven't suffered any loss. Remember to pay me the 300 pounds."
After saying this, Alger looked at the [World] Gehrman Sparrow again.
"Mr. World, I have decided to buy the Ocean Singer's potion formula from you. 5,000 pounds, payable in installments."
"ah?"
The actions of the Hanged Man stunned Siatas instantly. She couldn't understand why the Hanged Man suddenly did such an incredible thing.
Not only her, but everyone, including Klein, was stunned. They had no idea what the Hanged Man's behavior was all about.
After a while, Klein's brain started to work again, analyzing the purpose of the Hanged Man.
of.
The Hanged Man suddenly came to me to buy it, and even paid a higher price. He must have other intentions. It is very likely related to his previous sentence of accepting a commission. Commission... hunting mission... I understand.
Klein quickly understood the key point.14 days for newbies
[The Hanged Man] doesn't want [The World] to take over this commission, and [Hermit] Cattleya also reacts.
So, he was bribing the World in the name of buying the formula... Wait, how did the Hanged Man know that the World also had the formula for the Ocean Songster? Did they communicate privately?
Thinking of this, Cattleya decided not to remain silent anymore. She was also quite interested in the elf that seemed to be from the Second Age, so she wanted to compete with the Hanged Man for this commission.
"I can also accept this commission," Cattleya also sat up straight and said to the Pope, "The price is the same as the one offered by the Hanged Man."
Admiral of the Stars... Alger's expression began to change and he clenched his teeth. In the past, he might have been willing to give this pirate admiral some face.
But this time, it involves his most important life plan, he will never give up.
Finally, [The Hanged Man] and [The Hermit], the two powerful seamen who had been wary of each other for a long time, finally started a head-on confrontation.
"Miss [Hermit], I think it would be most appropriate for me to take on this commission," Alger spoke first.
"I just happen to know the location of Admiral Deepwater's informant. I can find the target through that informant."
"But how do you plan to challenge Hal Constantine?" Cattleya was not to be outdone.
"You were just looking for the formula for Sequence 5. You definitely don't have Sequence 5. How do you plan to deal with a Sequence 5 pirate general? I assume you don't have [Creeping Hunger], right?"
"Don't worry about the combat power of Sequence 5," [Lover] Mobet suddenly interrupted, "The [Pope] and I are in the same team, both of us are Sequence 5."
The others also realized what the Hanged Man and the Hermit were fighting for: if this commission was successful, it would be of great benefit to any of them.
"This is better than I thought, Siatas thought. This organization is really good."
The argument between the two reached another climax with Mobet's interruption.
"Combat power is not a problem," Alger said, "I have a channel to borrow Sequence 5 level items, and I also have a ghost ship."
"As long as we have the right strategy and take advantage of the opportunity when Hal Constantine's flagship is alone, Mr. Lover, Ms. Classroom, and I will be able to deal with his entire ship."
"Then how are you going to seize the opportunity of being alone in the deep water?" Cattleya retorted, "A big pirate with five ships and his own fleet, leaving the fleet and sailing alone, do you think it's possible?
"Of course it's possible," Alger grinned, "but it's impossible for you."
"Oh? Why?" Cattleya asked back with interest, "What do you have that I don't have?
of?"
"Weak." Alger said immediately, "You don't have my weakness."
●Okay, okay, this Alger is better than that Alger.
Now, it was Cattleya's turn to be choked. She thought that the Hanged Man would bring out the Church of Storms as his trump card, but she didn't expect that the Hanged Man would directly admit his weakness.
Of course she would not admit that she was better than
People] are weak.
Alger smiled and continued.
"I'm weaker than you, so I'd seem like an easy target, and I have a ghost ship, which means I'm a worthy target."
"This way, I can use myself as bait to lure the pirate admiral into the trap."
