Mystery: The Stars Returner

The schedule was very tight. Alger only stayed in Backlund for five days in total. He and other members of the Church of Storms, led by the singer of God, took a steam train and prepared to arrive at Puning in South Wales County. Port, and then take a boat to the Storm Abyss.

As for why not go directly to the Abyss of Storms through the spirit world or the travel portal, which is a more convenient way.

The explanation within the church is that every trip to the Storm Abyss is a pilgrimage.

If the Stormdeep could be accessed directly through travel portals at will, it would inevitably lose its mystery and sacredness.

In the past few days after arriving in South Wales, new news came from the battlefield of the Kingdom of Feneport. As the situation on the sea became increasingly chaotic, reinforcements from the southern continent came to a brief pause. This made the momentum positive. Sheng's southern continental army could only suspend its offensive and raise necessary military supplies on the spot.

This allowed the Kingdom of Feneport to quickly regain its health and establish a protective line with reinforcements from the Kingdom of Loen to cope with the next offensive.

If it evolves into a protracted war, then the final winner will definitely be the alliance between the Kingdom of Feneport and the Kingdom of Loen.

Therefore, in this war, the actions of the Church of Storms are extremely important.

Once the Church of Storms loses control of the sea, the Kingdom of Feneport will usher in an even more brutal war.

The more he understood the importance of the Church of Storms, the more uneasy Alger felt. Unlike those simple believers who thought that going to the Abyss of Storms was an honor, his eyes looked further away.

Because the more important the Church of Storms becomes in this war, the more terrifying the attacks will be.

This list incident is a warm-up for the real storm that is about to sweep across the entire ocean.

Arriving in South Wales without incident, Alger knew he had to hurry up and find a way to escape. Once he took a boat from Puning Port, he would lose the possibility of leaving.

He has already made a suitable plan in his mind based on his own situation.

At present, his identity has been exposed and he has become one of the pirates' must-kill targets. He can use this to create an attack for himself, and then escape with his own death, or be seriously injured and his whereabouts are unknown.

In this way, he naturally does not need to go out to sea on a boat with the Lord Singer of God to participate in the upcoming sea war.

But he still has a problem that needs to be solved, and that is who to ask to cooperate with him in directing this play. If he only deliberately discloses information about himself to the pirates, it may not necessarily attract the pirates to hunt him down, and the strength of the pirates is uneven. , if it is too weak, it will be difficult to even see your own face.

So he needs a teammate he can trust and cooperate with, preferably from a pirate background.

The only person who meets these conditions is Mr. World Gehrman Sparrow, who is a famous bounty pirate on the sea.

And he is very strong, even if he encounters the singer of God, he can leave safely.

After working out all the details, Alger quietly spent time alone when he fell asleep at night, and then prayed devoutly to Mr. Fool in his heart, asking him to help him convey his appeal to Mr. World.

Above the gray fog, Klein silently listened to Mr. Hanged Man's request with a slightly weird expression on his face. In order to escape, Mr. Hanged Man actually asked the world to pretend to assassinate him. It's a shame he came up with such a method.

It can only be said that Mr. Hanged Man is indeed the best at conspiracy among the members of the Tarot Club.

Klein could only go offline and use the identity of Gehrman Sparrow to record a video agreeing to the deal, and then threw it to the waiting Alger.

In the hotel, after receiving the accurate answer, Alger was heartbroken. Now he only needs to wait for Mr. World to come nearby and create a chance for himself to be alone before he can finish the play.

I hope that Lord Singer of God will be as slow as the rumors say.

……

"Assassinating Mr. Hanged Man is a very interesting operation."

Klein, who was already in South Wales, changed his original appearance of Dwayne Downstad and returned to the appearance of the famous bounty pirate Gehrman Sparrow.

He came to South Wales this time to confirm his suspicions with Mr. Hastur, so he happened to help Mr. Hanged Man perform a play on the way.

"The best time to take action is near Puning Port. Only after weighing the pros and cons will the singer of God choose to take a boat out to sea first. Don't give him too much time to react."

Klein thought of a rough action plan and headed to Puning Port first.

When Alger and his party arrived at Puning Port, he had already arrived a day early.

The communication between the two people passed through Mr. Fool's gray fog platform, which was very hidden and was not discovered by anyone.

Soon, the day before Alger went to board the ship, he found an excuse to buy some items, and he briefly began to act alone.

When he was about to walk from the alley to the street, Gehrman Sparrow, who had been waiting for a long time, attacked him with a grin, and shot an air bullet hard into his back. It was blasted to pieces, leaving behind a scar that looked very scary but only had a shallow wound.

With blood dripping from his back, Alger hurriedly ran to the street so that more people could see the fact that he was being hunted.

At the same time, he shouted: "Crazy Hermann, even you come to kill me!"

Such a chase in the street naturally attracted the attention of passers-by. People from the Church of Storms heard the movement and hurried over. As for the Lord Singer of God, he was sitting in a tea restaurant enjoying afternoon tea until someone came. When the members of the Church of Storms came to inform him, he took the last sip of tea, got up and left.

When the commotion became considerable, Alger followed the pre-planned escape route and jumped into the river on the outside of the street. Bloody flowers appeared from the water, and the whole person disappeared.

In order to attract the attention of the Church of Storms and buy enough time for Mr. Hanged Man to escape, Gehrman Sparrow pretended to be searching slowly along both sides of the river.

He didn't leave in a hurry until the Singer of God arrived. Snake, the Singer of God, glanced at the blood-stained river, snorted coldly, and chased after the murderer Gehrman. .

Although he controlled the strong wind and was very fast, he was still entangled for a long time in the face of the strange methods of the magician, and was still escaped by the bounty pirate Gehrman.

To no avail, Snake could only return to the river and let the Church of Storms members begin searching for Alger's whereabouts, but until sunset, they saw no sign of Alger again.

"It's good news that no body was found." Snake felt a little more relaxed. The followers of the Storm Lord would not be drowned by a small river.

He guessed that Alger had escaped along the river and was looking for a hidden place to hide and recover from his injuries.

But soon, his brows furrowed. The ship would go out to sea tomorrow morning. This was a time that had been set in advance.

"You can entrust local Storm Church personnel to help with search and rescue." Snake quickly came up with an idea.

Early the next morning, they still couldn't find Alger's whereabouts, so they could only entrust it to the local Church of Storms, and then take a boat out to sea to the Abyss of Storms.

After seeing the ship belonging to the Church of Storms going out to sea with his own eyes, Alger, who had been hiding for a whole night, truly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is your back injured?" Hermann came behind him and looked at his bandaged back.

"You don't have to blame yourself for this. This is what I asked for." Alger, who was in a good mood, smiled and said: "It is undoubtedly cost-effective to deny this opportunity to go to the Abyss of Storms with a small flesh wound."

"Shouldn't going to the Abyss of Storms be what you, the followers of the Storm Lord, dream of?"

"Then when will the score be scored?" Thinking of the recent chaotic situation in the sea, Alger sighed and continued: "The war in the sea is about to begin. I wonder if the Church of Storms can maintain its position as the overlord of the sea this time."

"Do you think the Church of Storms will lose?"

"At least it won't be easy to win. I don't want to get involved in this war." Alger laughed at himself and said: "I am also afraid of death. I put my own life first in everything. This is the real me."

"Death is something to be feared."

Alger agreed with this sentence and looked at the burly Gehrman beside him, "Why do you happen to be here? Mr. Fool has a mission to assign. If you need help, I am willing to contribute."

"It's a secret." Gehrman just smiled and asked Alger to hide it, then turned and left. It was time for him to start busy with his own affairs.

Looking at Gehrman's leaving figure, Alger murmured: "I don't know what Mister Fool's attitude is towards this war, and which side will he stand on?"

After just thinking for a while, Alger hurriedly suppressed his thoughts of seeking death. Don't easily speculate on the thoughts of the gods. It will only bring misfortune to yourself.

The most important thing for him now is to hide his traces and avoid being discovered by the local Church of Storms personnel.

If the winner of this sea war is the Church of Storms, then Alger, the cardinal of the Church of Storms, will appear again.

If the Church of Storms fails, then there will be no Alger in the world, only the Hanged Man of the Tarot Society.
