Chapter 756 The Storm is Coming
After enjoying afternoon tea, Angel cleared his mind and basked in the sun in the sun room on the south side of the villa's first floor.
But the leisurely time did not last long, and soon Ribak found her.
"Miss, are you canceling all your plans for the rest of the week? That includes a viscount's ball, a dinner for two councillors, and the weekend salon of Earl Hall's daughter."
The diligent housekeeper kindly reminded.
"Yes, I have some personal matters this week and will be very busy. Please apologize to them and remember to enclose a gift... Don't cancel Audrey's salon for the time being. I might go on Sunday."
Angel yawned and answered slowly.
Busy... Looking at his mistress's lazy appearance, Ribak silently shifted his gaze, thinking in his mind how to deal with the questions from the stewards of those nobles and dignitaries.
Fortunately, she had become a celebrity during Backlund's social season. Even if she declined certain invitations, it would only attract more people. Of course, if she didn't appear in public for a whole week, some less than harmonious rumors would inevitably circulate, such as the young lady and a middle-aged gentleman going to Dixie Bay to spend a pleasant and private weekend... Hmm, that gentleman seemed to have left Backlund last week. Could he have been threatened by some nobles and took the opportunity to escape this troubled place...
Before leaving, Ribak glanced at his hostess again and found that she was looking towards the south, and her profile seemed to be shining with golden light under the afternoon sun.
…
"This way, we can have enough time to prepare for any possible battles on the southern continent..."
After the housekeeper left, Angel breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in a comfortable position on the recliner. She couldn't help but think of her and Klein's plan.
Their method of dealing with "0-08" was nothing more than taking advantage of the fact that this seal could only write people within a certain range into the "story." They had their main combat force, Angel, stay in Backlund while Klein searched for clues in Balam and tracked down Ince Zangwill.
Once the target is confirmed, both "Mirror World" and "Groselle's Travels" can allow her to quickly enter the battlefield. Although the latter has a limited number of uses, it is undoubtedly worth using an opportunity in order to take revenge on the traitorous archbishop.
As for the "Red Angel" evil spirit in him, the two also have certain countermeasures.
Thinking of this, a purple light flashed in Angel's eyes, and the extraordinary characteristics of "Harvester Legion" and "Iron-Blooded Knight" taken out from the mirror space appeared in his hands.
Then, she closed her eyes and prayed softly under the scorching sun:
"...Mother of Secrets, Queen of Misfortune and Terror, Lord of Sleep and Silence... Please grant your blessing upon the vengeful Nighthawks."
————
"Praise the Goddess. Based on Daly's speculation, we conducted the corresponding investigation and indeed found more evidence. Ince Zangwill is very likely possessed by the evil spirit of the 'Hunter' path, and as a result, he hunted Beyonders of the corresponding digital path and took away their Beyonder characteristics."
In the night watchmen's base in Gulain City, a group of "Red Gloves" who were still in high spirits after an all-night investigation were discussing the case around a long table. However, Daly Simone, the "hero" mentioned by Captain Sost, was yawning and curled up in a corner of the room, seemingly taking a nap.
Leonard Mitchell secretly glanced at the woman who took the initiative to take all the risks after learning the truth, and then he coughed lightly and asked:
"Captain Sost, what should we do now? Based on the current clues, he seems to have left Gurain and has traveled to several surrounding cities, even deep into the ancient forest..."
Looking around, seeing the other team members looking at him in confusion, Soster said in a deep voice:
"Her Excellency, the 'Eye of the Goddess', is aware of this matter. She has approved our theory and reported it to the Holy Temple, and has received new orders... All we need to do is divide into teams to follow the clues we've discovered so far and gather intelligence. Don't worry about anything else, let alone conduct an in-depth investigation!"
This was almost a "give up" order that made the Red Gloves look at each other in bewilderment, but since they had received the order, they did not express any objection. Instead, they quickly divided into groups according to their habits, left their base, and went to various places to collect new clues.
Leonard and the sleepy Daly came to the street together. In the setting sun, coffins popular in the southern continent were carried past the two of them, as if they were heading to a grand funeral.
"You know what? After I first took the potion, I slept in a coffin like this because of the trauma in my life and the effects of the potion."
Watching an "eight-man coffin" passing by, Dai Li suddenly spoke.
"I've heard some rumors."
Leonard twitched his lips and answered honestly after a moment.
"It wasn't until I met him that I tried to change my decadent lifestyle and become more conservative so that he could accept me... But it wasn't until Angel exposed that misunderstanding that I realized that he, too, didn't dare to reveal his true feelings because of some inferiority complex..."
Suddenly hearing a name, Leonard straightened up nervously and looked around. After the "old man" in his body fell into a deep sleep, he would feel this kind of insecurity from time to time, always feeling that someone outside his field of vision was peeping at him.
"...I'm saying this now to tell you that I know you have a secret that you're hiding from me, and I have no intention of exposing it, but when the time comes, you must take me with you."
After saying this, Daly seemed to have fully regained consciousness, her face no longer showing any signs of fatigue. She glanced at the Church of Night across the street, tightened her hood, and asked:
"Where should we go next?"
Leonard woke up as if from a dream and pointed to the alley next to the church:
"Let's start over there."
————
In the alley that was gradually getting darker in the sunset, two figures were passing by quickly, one in front and one behind.
"After I finish copying these reports, my mission of investigating Uttar Pradesh will be complete."
"Flame" Danitz shook the document bag in his hand with a dejected look. Working on this paperwork day and night had become a bit exhausting for even the physically strong "Hunter".
If this mission had not come from a "crazy adventurer" who seemed to be related to the death of "Admiral Hell", he would have burned all this shitty information and returned to the "Golden Dream" to find the captain.
"I've always wanted to ask, why don't you find a local who knows Loenese to help you copy it? Maybe it would only cost a few Delixi a day."
Anderson Hood, who was walking behind him in square steps and kicking stones from time to time, asked sarcastically.
"Delisi" is a local copper coin with a value similar to "kope" in Intis.
Yeah, why didn’t I think of it… Shit, it must be Anderson who kept nagging me all day that prevented me from thinking of this great idea. Now that I’ve almost finished copying the West Balam information that Hermann asked me to organize, he just “remembered” it?
Danitz's face instantly turned red, and he was about to blurt out some of Intis's national treasures, but he finally held back the urge and said instead:
"I'm a little curious. You've been following me these days. What exactly are you trying to do? Let me make it clear first, I won't be returning to the captain during this period of time. Don't try to use me to get close to her!"
"Why should I approach her..." Anderson muttered to himself, but soon shook his head. "I've found the approximate location of an ancient mausoleum near the city of Kukwa. They believe in the ancient god of death and believe that death is a new beginning, so there are many burial objects..."
"Then why don't you go quickly?" Upon hearing about the treasure, Danitz felt a little itchy. If it weren't for his mission, he might have been unable to resist going out of the city to explore. Perhaps he could dig up the real "Key of Death".
"I always feel... that we need to wait a little longer. Perhaps the true treasure has yet to be revealed to the world..."
Anderson said mysteriously, and then took the lead to leave the alley and walk towards the crowded square not far away.
Danitz, cursing, wanted to leave, but after thinking it over, he decided to follow the "reaper" to avoid being targeted by someone because of his recently increased bounty of 10,000 pounds.
They didn't notice that a middle-aged man in a simple white robe, with blond hair and a golden beard, and warm eyes, was following behind them with a smile on his face, and was also walking towards the square.
The people blocking his path naturally made way and gathered behind him, but no one's eyes fell on him, as if they had ignored him.
————
Pulling himself away from the crimson star representing Danitz, The Fool, Klein leaned back tightly against his high-backed chair, and it took him a long time to calm down.
When he inadvertently observed his only believer, he discovered that there was a figure lingering beside him that was not noticed by anyone.
That is the son of the Creator, the master of the "Twilight Hermit Order", and the "Angel of Imagination" Adam!
He had seen him once when he was fortune-telling Angel's current situation. At that time, through the fortune-telling, Adam seemed to have predicted the future. He raised his head at that time in the past and smiled warmly at the fortune-telling screen, which made "The Fool" break out in a cold sweat and almost made him suffer from "audience phobia".
At this moment, this most powerful audience member appeared in Klein's field of vision again, causing him to realize what was about to happen next, despite his fear.
Adam, the Angel King of Sequence 1 of the Audience Path, is seeking the Sealed Artifact "0-08"!
Is that the extraordinary quality He needs, or is it His so-called "uniqueness"...
Klein shook his head, pulling himself away from this meaningless speculation.
Regardless of Adam's purpose, his presence here meant that his "plan" was nearing completion. Perhaps in the next moment, "0-08" would collide with Ince Zangwill.
According to the law of aggregation, this made sense. Furthermore, since this "audience" who liked to hide behind the scenes and arrange everything had appeared in West Balam, it meant that "He" was confident that his target would appear in the same place at the appropriate time.
But Adam only had to wait for the Sealed Artifact to arrive, but for me, there was more to consider. His appearance would undoubtedly disrupt my plans, but it would also weaken the effectiveness of the Sealed Artifact "0-08". As long as I could make good use of this, the success rate of hunting down Ince Zangwill would be greatly increased. Moreover, He was a "spectator"...
Thinking of this, Klein no longer hesitated. He clicked on the crimson star of the "Queen" and projected the "image" he had already prepared towards her.
The deep, hoarse voice of "The World" echoed in the gray fog:
"Plan commenced, move immediately. Targets: West Balam, Uttar Pradesh, Kukwa City!"
