Bayam, the ghetto.
Wearing a mask and a hood pulled up, Alger, the "Hanged Man", once again met with Cattleya, the "Admiral of the Stars".
The two of them sat opposite each other across a table, and no one spoke for a long time.
Finally, "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya spoke:
"Have you heard about that information?"
Alger did not give a direct answer, but asked:
"From Gehrman Sparrow?"
Cattleya was silent for a few seconds and nodded:
"He turned 'Admiral of Hell' into his own secret puppet."
Regardless of whether it was the previous "Admiral of Blood" or the current "Admiral of Hell", both of them were pirates with higher bounties than her. No matter how confident she was, she did not think that these two outstanding Sequence 5s would be significantly weaker than herself!
"You knew it earlier than I expected." Alger tactfully confirmed that the Hermit's information was correct.
As part of the Storm Church's control over the sea, he can obtain intelligence directly from official channels.
Cattleya curled her lips slightly and said:
"If the 'Mirai' is sailing on the sea, I may have to wait a few days, or even weeks, to find out, but I've been in Bayam lately."
She did not reveal the source of her information.
After a pause, the "Admiral of the Star" asked frankly:
"What else do you know about this matter?"
The Hanged Man Alger shook his head:
"I was just trying to find out the details when I saw your contact sign and rushed over to meet you."
Cattleya nodded slightly and said:
"There was no battle between Gehrman Sparrow and the 'Admiral of Hell'. Ludwell himself gave up resistance because the man who boarded the 'Black Tulip' with Gehrman Sparrow was called the 'Death Archon' by him."
Archon of Death... Alger's pupils suddenly dilated as he felt some kind of unspeakable pressure.
Such a title is not something that just any demigod can bear!
Moreover, that was not the other party's self-promotion, but the "Admiral of Hell" Ludwell took the initiative to call him that, and for this he gave up resistance and was willing to lose his life!
Seeing that the Hanged Man didn't speak, Cattleya added:
"In the 'Death God' path, 'Death Archon' is the name of a Sequence 2. Of course, successive emperors of the Balam Empire would also be given this title."
As expected, an angel from the realm of “Death”… Alger automatically ignored the latter possibility. After all, according to the “role playing method”, before the fall of the Balam Empire, the position of emperor would definitely be held by a Sequence 2 angel. And to allow the “Admiral of Hell” to become Gehrman Sparrow’s puppet without any resistance was definitely not something that could be achieved with a simple “title”.
At this moment, Alger suddenly thought of something that left a deep impression on him:
After successfully escaping, Lieutenant General Hurricane Qi Lingos stood stiffly beside the artificial lake. His face rotted rapidly, flesh and blood fell off piece by piece, and even his eyeballs were separated from his head.
This was undoubtedly caused by the powerful force of the "Death God" domain, and Alger later confirmed that it was done by the followers of Mr. "Fool".
To make a pirate general, who was carrying a powerful seal, die so quickly and without any resistance, one can only imagine the level and status of the person who did it!
Archbishop Snake, the "Singer of God" of the Storm Church, immediately determined that this was done by a high-sequence strongman from the "God of Death" path, and it was not the one he knew.
Alger had no doubts about this, and initially believed that this was done by a Sequence 4 or Sequence 3 demigod, or a Saint. He was shocked and horrified because one of Mr. Fool's followers was a high-sequence one.
Now, he swallowed quietly but with difficulty, thinking that he had underestimated Mr. Fool and the Favored One.
The opponent is not a saint, but an angel on earth, on the same level as the triple crown holders of the major orthodox churches!
——In the religious field, the triple crown refers to the pope, the pontiff, and the patriarch of each major church.
A Death Archon as his follower... Although Mr. Fool is still recovering, he has a lot of power at his disposal... Alger's thoughts were boiling, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya noticed his silence and took the initiative to speak:
"You seem to have remembered something."
Alger pondered for two seconds and said vaguely:
"As far as I know, among Mr. Fool's followers, there is an angel of death."
This corresponds to... Cattleya said as if talking to herself:
"Could it be that the blood of the mythical creature that 'The World' promised came from this Angel of Death?"
"Maybe." Although Alger felt that there was nothing wrong with the "Admiral of the Stars"'s speculation, he still habitually did not give a definite answer.
Cattleya did not continue the topic and said:
"Tonight, between 7:30 and 8:00, the action begins.
"If you can participate, come with me."
Finally, we have found out the situation of the "craftsman"? Alger secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a little doubt:
"Why between 7:30 and 8 p.m.?"
This is not the most suitable time period for covert operations. Once any mistakes occur, the official extraordinary people will quickly notice them and arrive quickly.
Cattleya pushed up the thick glasses on her nose and replied with a slightly complicated smile:
“Because it’s their dinner time.
"And their dinner tonight is mushrooms."
What is the connection... The experienced Alger found that he could not understand the hidden words of "Admiral of the Star"
…………
East Balam, in the dense and humid jungle.
Klein deliberately deviated from the main road and came to an uninhabited area, preparing to let the secret puppet Ludwell take off the silver-white mask on his face.
This was not only due to his curiosity, but also to practical factors - the silver-white mask was too conspicuous, and if it was not handled properly, no matter how he disguised himself as the "Admiral of Hell", he would not be able to avoid being noticed.
The biggest concern of the "Master of Secret Dolls" should be the identity of the secret doll... The more powerful the secret doll, the more famous it must have been when it was alive. Carrying it with you will inevitably cause the risk of exposure... If the pirates of the "Black Tulip" had not been dealt with at the time, there would be a way to circumvent it to a certain extent. For example, let Ludwell continue to be the captain, and I disguise myself as his subordinate. For the "Faceless Man", this is very simple... Klein continued to travel through the jungle while sighing.
There were many mosquitoes around him, but none of them bothered him. They all circled around "Admiral of Hell" Ludwell, trying to suck his blood, but they got nothing.
——Klein assigned the "Green Flower" ring that attracted mosquitoes to the new secret doll because its effect was completely covered by the "Blood Flower" ring. It didn't make much sense for the "winner" Enzo to wear two at the same time. In addition, Klein confirmed that Ludwell's situation was special and he was not that afraid of mosquito bites.
After walking for a while, Klein casually tossed a coin and stopped.
He thought for a few seconds and decided to finish the other thing first before removing the mask of the new secret doll, because in this process, he could confirm how great the danger hidden under the mask is.
Klein took out the corresponding items and quickly set up the ritual, transferring the radio receiver from the gray fog to the real world.
He wants to contact the "Magic Mirror" Arrodes!
Before he left Gurain City, he had paid 350 pounds to Miss "Magician" to obtain the spiritual coordinates of Calderon City, and was reminded that it was very dangerous there, so he planned to obtain more information from two channels in preparation for the "hunting operation."
The two channels were to ask the "magic mirror" and the "red light" - since Mr. Azik would be in deep sleep for a long time, Klein decided not to hesitate any longer and to actively expand his "network of contacts". At least he couldn't rely solely on the "Goddess of Night". He had to find some power to balance the situation, and the relatively friendly Seven Lights of the Spirit World were the best target at the moment!
With the appearance of the radio receiver, the surrounding jungle suddenly became cold and dark, as if the spiritual world had merged with reality here.
After about ten seconds, a tapping sound was heard, and the illusory white paper shrank back and spit out:
"Great, supreme and transcendent master, your loyal, humble and lowly servant Arrodes comes at your call.
"There's no danger here for now, what do you think?"
Seeing the flattering name, Klein breathed a sigh of relief and finally confirmed that the person connected was the "Magic Mirror" Arrodes.
He used to be very afraid of seeing words like "I want to have a baby for you" appear on a blank piece of paper.
Of course, he had divined the danger of contacting the "Magic Mirror" Arrodes in advance above the gray fog, and got the answer that there was no problem, but the "Mother Tree of Desire" interfered with his successful divination before, and his own interpretation of the revelation behind the Chanis Gate of the Saint Samuel Church was wrong afterwards, so he really didn't dare to be too reassured.
“Indeed.” Klein nodded modestly and asked, “What do you know about Calderon City in the spiritual world?”
Dadada, a piece of illusory white paper hesitantly left the radio receiver:
"I didn't see the city clearly, so I don't know the specific situation inside. I can only confirm that a saint had fallen there, and some angels, 'travelers' and spiritual beings had gone in to explore and left relatively smoothly, but they didn't gain much.
"Also, I know the origin of that city."
Before Klein could ask, the illusory white paper spat out more words amid the sound of clattering:
“Its former name was ‘City of the Dead’, and it was the earthly kingdom of the ancient god, the Phoenix Ancestor Gray Carrie.
"Ever since this ancient god opened up the underworld, his kingdom has moved there, and the 'City of the Dead' has gradually become a holy place for his descendants and believers.
"Before the ancient god Graygari was severely damaged and shattered by the ancient sun god, she uprooted this city and threw it deep into the spirit world. None of the residents there ever came out again. The name Calderon comes from the Abraham family angel who was the first to enter. It means 'unknown soul' in the language of the dead."
