Cattleya understood what The Hanged Man meant. If the problem was serious, then the Moon could be used to drag the entire vampire race into the matter, recover losses and gain benefits in the chaos.
She then smiled and said:
"If things are that serious, why not just go to the 'world'? It seems easier that way."
Alger was silent for a few seconds and said:
"I had to prove I could handle the situation, so that was the last resort."
After hearing his answer, "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya immediately had some associations:
The Hanged Man attaches great importance to the opinion of the World Gehrman Sparrow, because he is the follower of Mr. Fool? Also, his attitude is quite consistent with the political jokes popular in Backlund, Trier and other places in a sense: when encountering a problem or making a mistake, the first reaction is to suppress it and find other ways to solve it, and not let the "superior" or "client" know...
This shows that the "Hanged Man" was once and even now a well-organized large force, infected with such a trend and mastered relevant skills... "Storm Church"? No, such people are heretics in it... The fleet of the "King of the Five Seas"?
As his thoughts fluctuated, the pirate general pushed his heavy glasses on his nose and brought the topic back on track:
"Let's continue talking about the 'craftsman'."
Alger seemed to have prepared a draft long ago. Without thinking or pausing, he spoke at a moderate pace:
"In order to conceal the identity of the 'craftsman' and prevent this channel from being controlled by others, I deliberately portrayed him as an insider of the Steam Church. But in fact, he had long ago defected from the Steam Church and hid in Bayam because he liked fine wine, was obsessed with beauty, and was extremely wasteful. He had to make items for wild Beyonders to earn money to support his life.
"This time, he first contracted a strange disease and was monitored by people of unknown origin. Then, he was controlled by those who were suspected of believing in the 'original moon'. He claimed that he had gained a new life..."
Cattleya listened carefully, her slightly purple eyes behind the lenses looking extremely focused.
After the Hanged Man finished his story, she paused for a moment and then asked:
"A 'craftsman' will never be short of magical items, and they are very good at combining various extraordinary effects and negative effects. Their strength can definitely reach the Sequence 5 level.
"How did those followers of the 'Original Moon' control the 'Craftsman' without harming him?
"A demigod took action?"
Alger shook his head slowly and said:
"There is no clue in this regard for now, but from what I have observed, the 'craftsman' showed a certain willingness. I suspect that in addition to the threats and coercion, there is also a policy that targets weaknesses."
He indirectly denied the speculation that demigods were involved in this matter.
"Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya nodded:
"How did those followers of the 'Original Moon' find this 'craftsman'?
"According to your description, this 'craftsman' has always only traded with familiar and trustworthy friends. He doesn't like to expand his own channels and is very cautious when it comes to security."
Alger hesitated for a moment and said:
“I’m not sure, but I have a guess.
"I once helped the World sell a copy of the Werewolf Beyonder characteristic to that Craftsman. The Werewolf path belongs to the category of Alien Species. Both the formula and the characteristics are firmly controlled by the Rose School and are rarely leaked."
Similarly, those who believe in the "Original Moon" in the southern continent basically belong to the Rose School... Cattleya silently added in her heart, having already figured out what the "Hanged Man" was speculating:
He suspected that the "Werewolf" extraordinary characteristic had hidden problems involving hidden existence, which led to the "Craftsman" being targeted by the Rose School!
This is also the reason why the Rose School can firmly control the formula and characteristics of the "alien" pathway.
Admiral of the Stars Cattleya asked a few more questions, all of which were answered to her satisfaction. Finally, she asked:
"What's the name of that 'craftsman' and what country is he from?"
"He is from Intis, and he calls himself Sharf." Alger responded without any hesitation.
"Charve..." Cattleya frowned slightly and repeated the name of "craftsman" in a low voice.
What's the problem? Seeing this, Alger asked directly:
"Have you heard of him?"
In Alger's opinion, the "Admiral of the Stars" was an experienced, powerful man with a deep background and good at controlling himself. If he didn't want to discuss anything about "Charve", even if he had doubts or something unusual, he wouldn't show it so obviously. Based on this judgment, he chose to ask without any hesitation.
Cattleya was silent for a moment and said:
"Emperor Roselle's eldest son was named Charles, which is very similar to this name."
Without waiting for the Hanged Man to speak, she spoke up:
"Not long after the assassination of the Great Emperor, the prince died of fear and worry. At that time, the Soran family wanted to hang and exile his descendants, but the Steam Church chose to accept them as clergy."
Alger nodded slightly in realization:
"Do you suspect this is the descendant of that prince?"
In Intis, in Feysac, and in most countries in the Northern Continent, it is not uncommon to use one's ancestor's name or a similar name as one's own name. It represents the inheritance of glory. Therefore, the more prominent the family, the more likely there are so-and-so's second generation and so-and-so's third generation.
Of course, it is very common for two people who have nothing to do with each other to have the same name, but "Craftsman" Sharf has more than just a name. He is from the Steam Church, he is an Intis, and he has reached the level of a "craftsman".
In response to the Hanged Man's question, Admiral of the Stars Cattleya nodded slightly and said:
"If I can get his blood, I can confirm it quickly."
Alger understood the reason and did not say much. He asked:
"Will you act now? I can provide assistance."
The surface of Cattleya's glasses reflected the crimson moonlight shining in from the window:
“No, I plan to observe for a while longer.
"At least we need to find out why those who believe in the 'original moon' want to control the 'craftsman' Sharf.
"If they just want the 'craftsman' to work for them and make magical items, then things will be simple and easy. If they have other purposes, then the problem may be more complicated than we expected and require more preparation."
As expected of the "Admiral of the Stars"... Alger nodded and said:
"I can't stay in Bayam for too long. It will arouse suspicion. If you need my assistance, please do it as soon as possible."
After receiving an affirmative answer from the other party, The Hanged Man slowly stood up, pulled his hood, and left the room.
Cattleya, who already knew where the "craftsman" Sharf currently lived, took off her thick glasses, pinched her brows, clapped her hands and said:
"Heath, come in."
In the shadow at the crack of the door, darkness suddenly surged, and a tall, thin, pale figure emerged.
His nose bridge was extremely high, and his facial skin was almost transparent, making him look sick. He was none other than the second mate of the "Future", the "Rose Bishop" Heathdale.
Cattleya looked at him and said:
"The specific situation is... I'll leave it to you next."
"Yes, Captain." Heathdale responded simply and shrank back into the shadows.
Cattleya raised her right hand, paused for a few seconds and said:
"Recently, being away from Frank, his mushroom experiments have stalled, and I'm worried about what new ideas he might come up with."
…………
"The location of my second secret doll..."
Klein held the two branches and chanted continuously, but he didn't see them move.
This means that the divination failed, or that the city of Gurain does not have a second secret doll that is very suitable for him.
It seems that the mystical method is useless for the time being. I will pack up and leave here tomorrow... Klein muttered and threw the branch into the trash can.
Although Enzo, the secret puppet standing beside him, didn't dare to look directly at his master and could only look at the ground, he still skillfully brewed a cup of black tea and handed it to Klein.
Compared with before, the "winner"'s skin has become tanned and peeling. When everything gets better, he will have a dark skin.
- In order to disguise the new secret doll and prevent him from being recognized by the Rose School, Klein took this gentleman on a "trip" to the seaside where the sun was scorching and exposed him to the sun for a long time.
At the same time, he manipulated the secret puppet to shave off most of his hair, leaving only a thin layer. Combined with outlining his eyebrows, applying powder on his face, recreating highlights and shadows, and wearing sunglasses, Enzo seemed like a different person. Even very familiar friends would find it difficult to tell the difference, unless it was the "Faceless Man".
In addition to the disguise in reality, Klein also made some mystical treatments. One was the hug of the "paper angel" and the other was the carrying of Azik's copper whistle.
In addition, he also preliminarily confirmed that the passive "Luck" and "Disaster" of the "Winner" were invalid, but he didn't know whether it was because of becoming a secret doll or because of the gray fog.
After taking the tea and taking a sip, Klein cast his gaze towards the Balam Map on the coffee table in front of him, and considered where to look for the second secret doll next.
At this moment, the colors around him suddenly deepened, as if they were redrawn by a painter with ink.
Then, a figure appeared next to the secret doll Enzo. He wore a silk hat and a black suit. He was of medium build, bronze skin, weathered eyes, soft features, and a small black mole under his right ear. It was Azik Eggers.
Mr. Azik finally arrived... Klein was surprised at first, then he noticed that he appeared next to the secret doll.
This made him conjure up a funny picture in his mind:
Mr. Azik, who relied on the copper whistle for positioning, just like last time, grabbed the shoulder of the person carrying the copper whistle as soon as he arrived, and with the help of the spiritual world, he passed through and left. Mr. Azik could only watch and wanted to reach out to stop him, but he was half a beat too slow and had to freeze in front of him.
Azik seemed to be a little quieter than last time. He glanced at Klein, who was a new face, and said:
"Are you ready?"
