"Did he also encounter a powerful Pirate King? All the crew members on the ship died?"
Magician Fors pondered, offering a guess.
Hanged Man Alger shook his head slightly:
"Impossible. Tree of Flesh and Blood, as the flagship of Admiral of Blood, not only has Senor, whose strength has reached Sequence 5, but also many Sequence 6 and Sequence 7 crew members. Even a demigod would find it very difficult to deal with so many Beyonders without a fight."
It's truly eerie, even a bit terrifying. Justice Audrey silently pondered the two things Mr. Hanged Man had said.
And the severed limbs and organs mean it didn't just disappear silently, unlike the darkness around the City of Silver. The Sun Derrick lowered his head, making a judgment in his heart.
When he heard the Hanged Man's description just now, he thought that the area around Mr. Hanged Man had also experienced the same darkness as the City of Silver, a darkness that could make people disappear silently.
I just got to sea, why are so many things happening? Klein, enveloped in gray fog, subconsciously glanced at Leyton, who sat in his seat without speaking. He felt that this matter was also related to the other party.
After a brief thought, he manipulated his alternate persona, Mr. World, who slightly raised his right hand and said hoarsely:
"Your description sounds very similar to losing control. Perhaps everyone on that ship collapsed due to losing control."
"Losing control? But why would they suddenly lose control, an entire ship's worth of people losing control?"
Justice Audrey subconsciously pressed for an answer.
Mr. World's words made her a bit nervous, adding a sense of fear and worry about the mysterious Beyonder world.
Klein, manipulating the World, chuckled and replied:
"There are many possibilities. For example, they saw something they shouldn't have seen or couldn't see, or they had some contact or sacrifice with certain evil gods or high-level beings containing malice."
"Or, they encountered some terrifying Sealed Artifact. The vast ocean does not lack such things."
"Indeed, this is also the most reasonable explanation." Hanged Man Alger nodded slightly, affirming the World's words.
After a slight pause, he added:
"I heard that all direct or indirect divinations and prophecies could not provide an answer, as if they were greatly affected."
The outside world is truly terrifying. Moon Emlyn once again uttered this sigh.
"I also just heard about something happening at sea."
Amidst everyone's puzzled or expectant gazes, Klein, manipulating his alternate persona, the World, continued hoarsely:
"That matter is related to the Church of the Lord of Storms."
"The ancient customs of Bansy Harbor are resurfacing, and some areas have turned into cultists. Even the bishop of the Church of the Lord of Storms has Fallen."
"I heard the matter has been resolved, but many people died."
Bansy Harbor. Hanged Man Alger recalled the situation there, then proactively explained to Justice, Magician, and others who were still somewhat bewildered:
"There is a tradition of live sacrifices there, targeting an evil spirit called the God of Weather."
"Overseas, on the Southern Continent, there are still many similar evil spirits. On the surface, they appear to have been eradicated, but in reality, they still exist in strange states."
"Many people died suddenly in those places, not just from disease. If you have similar adventure plans, I do not recommend you come to sea."
Hanged Man Alger tried to describe the events in Bansy Harbor as an accidental occurrence.
Suddenly, he heard a slightly low laugh.
This laugh came from the top of the mottled long table!
Mr. Fool. Hanged Man Alger suddenly turned his head. He had a bad premonition in his heart.
Mr. Fool! The matter of Bansy Harbor is not as simple as it seems!
Justice Audrey immediately looked at Mr. Fool, who was seated in the high-backed chair, awaiting his hint.
Seeing gazes of confusion or curiosity cast his way, Klein chuckled leisurely, then said with a hint of recollection:
"This reminds me of a King of Angels."
King of Angels! The matter of Bansy Harbor actually involves a King of Angels! I wonder which one it could be?
Audrey's eyes widened instantly, and she developed a strong anticipation for Mr. Fool's subsequent words.
King of Angels, is the sea so dangerous now? Should I reconsider my plan for a beach vacation? Fors secretly inhaled, her expression a bit bitter.
What secret is hidden in Bansy Harbor that it's related to a King of Angels? What's going on with the sea recently? Hanged Man Alger waited for the answer with full concentration.
Seeing that Mr. Fool had no intention of continuing, Audrey couldn't help but ask proactively:
"Respected Mr. Fool, which King of Angels is it?"
Klein, enveloped in gray fog, leaned slightly back against the chair, chuckling softly:
"Medici, who founded Rose Redemption. His descendants live in Binsy."
"Binsy?"
Audrey was a bit confused by this unfamiliar place name.
"That's the ancient name for Bansy."
Hanged Man Alger clasped his hands loosely, responding in a low voice.
He could no longer imagine what truth was hidden behind this matter, only knowing that the changes in Bansy Harbor might not have truly ended, and the man-eating danger still lurked in the shadows!
While everyone was still immersed in the shock brought by the recent news, they heard Mr. Fool's voice continue:
"That place has a very high level of corruption. Although subtle, it has always existed."
Is Mr. Fool emphasizing what level of corruption this is, that it would make Mr. Fool emphasize it like a deity? No, Mr. Fool's attitude towards the True Creator seems very casual.
Justice Audrey's heart churned with a tempestuous wave. She vaguely felt she had grasped something, but subconsciously tried to deny that guess.
Corruption! That God of Weather? That shouldn't be it. For Mr. Fool to say that Bansy Harbor has corruption left by a deity-level existence, or perhaps it's simply a place where an evil god conceals himself!
What's going on with the sea these days? So many problems appearing within just a few days.
The more the Hanged Man thought about it, the more alarmed he became. While sighing inwardly, he also noticed some issues:
The World previously mentioned that something big would happen in Backlund, which was immediately confirmed by Mr. Fool, leading to the awakening of the Primordial Demoness and the descent of the True Creator. This time, his account of the anomaly in Bansy Harbor also received a response from Mr. Fool, revealing the hidden secret of ancient Binsy. Could this be too coincidental?
Hmm, the news the World mentioned before was all related to Backlund. This is the first time it involves matters at sea, and it just so happens that Mr. Fool mentioned last week that his Blessed had to leave Backlund due to the smog incident.
So, is the World actually Mr. Fool's Blessed? No, it should be the representative of all his Blessed at the Tarot Club.
Heh, World, you definitely wouldn't expect that I've already seen through your disguise. Hanged Man Alger's emotions slowly relaxed again, and he began to consider how to use the information about Bansy Harbor to gain an advantage for himself.
Justice Audrey noticed that Mr. Hanged Man in front of her had just gone through a psychological process, but she couldn't imagine that he could have so many thoughts and conjectures in such a short time.
Audrey suppressed the myriad thoughts in her mind and asked another question out of curiosity:
"Respected Mr. Fool, what is the title of the King of Angels Medici, or rather, to which pathway does he belong?"
Klein leaned back in his chair and chuckled in a low voice:
"Red Priest."
Red Priest? Which pathway is that? It sounds very similar to "Black Emperor," could it be another Sequence 0 title? Audrey thought, feeling both excited and pleased.
Red Priest. The Sun Derrick silently recited this term, finding no corresponding record in the City of Silver's history.
Perhaps I haven't seen enough information, only received general education.
Magician Fors and Moon Emlyn listened as if to a story; they were equally interested in this type of information.
While everyone was deep in thought, Klein continued to manipulate his alternate persona, the World, looking at Miss Justice and Miss Magician beside him:
"Ladies, could you help me buy a wireless telegraph machine?"
Because she was about to leave Backlund, Justice Audrey could only say "sorry" to this.
"I can try."
The Magician hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
With the interesting topic concluded, Moon Emlyn began to face a practical problem: a lack of money!
Although he desperately needed a large sum of money, he never considered selling his collection of dolls. He just told himself that he would have to be frugal from now on, and only reward himself with a new doll every six months, or even a year.
Besides saving, the only way he could think of to earn money was to sell some potions with magical effects, but this could easily bring hidden dangers to his clan hidden in Backlund.
After thinking for a few seconds, he hummed twice and cleared his throat, saying:
"Everyone, I have a question."
"It's like this: suppose there's a powerful individual who arranges for you to investigate something. You successfully obtain the information, but for some reason, you cannot report it to that powerful individual. So, how can you continue to receive support from that powerful individual?"
After speaking, Emlyn suddenly felt a sense of shame, wanting to cover his face.
This kind of behavior really resembles a traitor and an insider… No, I'm doing this for the continuation of the entire Sanguine. For this, I must abandon my reputation and bear misunderstanding. When this matter is over, they will be moved by me!
