Ever since he handed over the information about the "Shaper" that was suspected to be a trickster to Mr. "World", Derrick had been thinking that the other party might give him a commission to get the corresponding materials. However, he was not strong enough, and even with his friends, he could not complete the hunt. Moreover, such explorations must be organized by a six-member council, and a private team could not leave the City of Silver so far. He had to put the matter aside for the time being, and bring it up from time to time to spur himself to improve as soon as possible.

What he didn't expect was that not long after that, an exploration team heading to the city of Noth was organized, led by Chief Colin Iliad!

Combining the previous conversations with Mr. Hanged Man and Miss Justice at the Tarot Club, Derrick quickly came up with a guess:

In the process of exploring the tomb of the former chief, Mr. Fool provided some help to the current chief, allowing him to thwart the conspiracy of the "Fallen Creator" and successfully resolve the matter. So this "demon hunter" started from what he had inquired about, hoping to hunt down a "shapeshifter" to please the gods!

This was inevitable flattery, and also a kind of balance… The words of The Hanged Man suddenly reappeared in Derrick’s mind, making him no longer confused. He seized the time before leaving and prayed to Mr. Fool, asking him to tell Mr. World that there would be such an exploration.

He received a prompt response, and heard Mr. World say:

"...If hunting a trickster monster is difficult and dangerous, you can lower the requirements and try to obtain its blood.

"As long as you can get it, I will exchange it for the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Priest of Light'."

The extraordinary characteristics of the "Priest of Light"? Mr. "World" already has the extraordinary characteristics of the "Priest of Light"? Or, he has locked on the target and will get it soon? Just to obtain blood, with the strength of the chief and the cooperation of the exploration team, there is a great hope... Derrick felt relieved, picked up "Thor's Roar", walked out of the house, and went straight to the training ground.

As soon as he arrived at his destination, he saw the figure of Chief Colin Iliad. He was carrying two straight swords, tall and steady, making people feel at ease just by looking at him.

Next to this "demon hunter" stood another person, the "shepherd" named Lovia, who was wearing a black robe with purple patterns and had long silver-gray curly hair.

Lovia, who seemed to be participating in this operation, turned her head. Her light grey eyes reflected the figure of Derrick Berg, but she did not show any emotion.

Derrick was inexplicably frightened, and his pace slowed down a little involuntarily.

…………

East Balam, above the gray fog.

Klein expressed his deep appreciation for the Silver City chief's initiative in organizing a team to explore North City, and told Little "Sun" that there was no need to take risks in hunting, as long as he could obtain a little blood from the target, the mission would be considered accomplished.

At that time, he could smear the blood on the surface of Groselle's Travels, bring all the equipment, and "single-handedly" fight against the evil monsters in his own home court to get the extraordinary materials he needed.

As for whether the ability of Groselle's Travels to swallow people into the world in the book would be specially isolated by the "God-Forsaken Land", Klein had also considered it and had come up with a solution, which was to give Groselle's Travels to the little "Sun" and then have him sacrifice it back after achieving his goal.

In addition, he was not worried that the tricksters were also spirit creatures and had no blood at all, because the formula for the "Trickster" potion clearly stated:

"Supplementary materials: 200 ml of the blood of the evil magic monster..."

There are always more solutions than problems... Klein whispered with satisfaction and returned to the real world.

Before going to bed, he received a reply from Leonard Mitchell, which mentioned that the "Worm of Time" would appear the next day and described the monster called the evil spirit in detail.

"It will take a day to provide it, and there are only two pieces. The old man in Leonard's body is in a really bad condition... He can't leave the territory and has a restricted range of activities... The commonality is that he likes to devour the souls of living things and craves for extraordinary materials from his previous life... In other words, the evil spirit will use Ince Zangwill's body to collect relevant materials and extraordinary characteristics when it has an advantage. This is indeed a direction for investigation." Klein held the letter in both hands and thought as he read.

Suddenly, he remembered something:

When he met Ince Zangwill on the mid-range island in the Violent Sea, he was being chased by a powerful demigod from the "Hunter" path!

"Could this... be caused by that evil spirit?

"I previously thought that Ince Zangwill was commissioned by a faction of the royal family to do something against the Republic of Intis, but somehow something went wrong and his whereabouts were exposed, so he was hunted down by the other party...

"Now it seems that there may be another possibility... The evil spirit craves the Beyonder characteristics of the 'Hunter' path. When it was able to control its body, it took the initiative to hunt Beyonders of the same path. It may have succeeded, or it may have failed. In short, the ending is that it was targeted by a powerful demigod of the 'Hunter' path and chased all the way with the help of hunting instincts." The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt that the latter guess was close to the truth.

Because only this can explain why Ince Zangwill, who is in charge of "0-08", was discovered!

At this time, the secret puppets Enzo and Ludwell squatted down and began to press and beat Klein's legs.

"We can preliminarily guess that it is an evil spirit from the Hunter pathway. I'll write back and ask Leonard to guide Red Gloves to investigate in this direction. Alas, this guy's acting skills aren't that good, and he doesn't have any experience in psychology. I don't know if he can do it without leaving any traces. Perhaps, he will push the blame on a non-existent informant... An evil spirit from the Hunter pathway, an evil spirit from the Hunter pathway..." Klein's pupils widened, and he sat up straight, leaving the two secret dolls at a loss.

He knew that he had seen few evil spirits, only one, and that one happened to be from the "Hunter" path!

It was an evil spirit with the "Red Angel" Medici as its main body, fused with the residual spirits of two Sequence 1 angels from the Soran and Einhorn families!

In the "Hunter" path, there is no evil spirit with a higher rank than this one, unless the "Blood Emperor" Alistair Tudor still has some spirit left.

"Before, Ince Zangwill was in Backlund, and that evil spirit, who I don't know if he should be called Medici, was also in Backlund;

"Later, the evil spirit escaped the seal and went somewhere unknown, and Ince Zangwill was possessed by the evil spirit;

"Both sides are filled with evil spirits from the Hunter Path...

“This… could it be that the evil spirit of the Red Angel is possessing Ince Zangwill?” Klein frowned slightly. He couldn’t believe his guess, but he also felt that it was very likely!

As his thoughts raced, he found another piece of indirect evidence:

The characteristic of "0-08" is that if you know it, it will also know you. As the king of angels who survived the Second Age, "Red Angel" Medici is likely to know all the information about "0-08"!

In other words, as long as the evil spirit tries to recall the information related to "0-08", "0-08" will know it and establish a connection.

Oh, and that phrase "Happy cooperation"... It can't be true... But the problem is, I guessed before that the evil spirit should have a sequence 1 characteristic, so it doesn't need to seek it from outside. Can't it digest it? Klein rubbed his forehead with a headache, stood up, went into the bathroom, walked four steps backwards, and came to the gray fog.

As soon as he sat down, he produced paper and pen and began to write the divination statement:

"The one possessing Ince Zangwill is the evil spirit sealed in the underground ruins of Alistair Tudor."

After examining each word for several seconds, Klein took out the yellow crystal pendant from his left wrist cuff and began to use the "pendulum method" to do divination.

This time, the scene he saw when he opened his eyes was:

The citrine pendant remained motionless.

This means that the divination has failed.

"The status is too high, and there is also '0-08'. Oh, and that evil spirit also carried a 'Red Priest' card that is anti-divination and anti-prophecy. With these three factors combined, it's no wonder that I failed... Well, this can be considered a certain confirmation from the side." Klein analyzed the reasons and considered what other aspects he could verify it from.

He tapped the edge of the mottled long table with his fingers and muttered to himself silently:

"Besides asking Leonard to lead the Red Gloves investigation, I also have to do something...

"Let's assume that the one possessing Ince Zangwill is indeed the Red Angel evil spirit. When he is able to control his body, where will he go to seek extraordinary materials for the Hunter Path?

"Intis' capital Trier? Feysac's capital Saint Miron? Or simply rely on the opening and sealing of the 'blasphemous card' and use the Beyonder characteristic aggregation law to attract moths that fly into the fire?

“Wait, it mentioned itself that the descendants of the Medici family are in Bansi Port.

“Although it has been destroyed, there may still be something buried there!

"Also, the evil spirit that is a mixture of the remaining spirits of the three archangels has a strong provocative instinct, which is consistent with the description of the evil spirit in Leonard's letter just now. It may deliberately leave something in Bansi..."

Thinking of this, Klein immediately manifested the figure of the World Gehrman Sparrow and asked him to ask the Hanged Man to go to Bansi again for a more detailed investigation.

After completing this task, Klein began to consider whether, once it was confirmed that the evil spirit of the "Red Angel" was inside Ince Zangwill, he could use the law of Beyonder characteristic aggregation and the corresponding materials to lure "Ince Zangwill" into the trap.

“Hunter’s path…Hunter’s path…” As his thoughts raced, Klein suddenly thought of the two hunters roaming in West Balam.

He frowned slightly and analyzed it instinctively:

Although both East Balam and West Balam are vast, the distance from the city where Ince Zangwill appeared last time to the Uttar Pradesh in West Balam is very far. Without the ability to "teleport", even for a demigod, it would probably take ten days or half a month. In theory, Danitz and Anderson would not suddenly encounter the "Red Angel" evil spirit due to the law of aggregation. In addition, their sequence is still too low, but it cannot be said for sure...

…………

West Balam, Uttar Pradesh, Kukwa city.

Danitz glanced at Anderson beside him and asked:

"I'm going to do an investigation, why are you still following me?

"Normally speaking, shouldn't you have returned directly to the Misty Sea from Berens Port?"
