Seeing the cloaked woman preparing to leave the mine, Ellie immediately cheered up. Before the effect of the invisibility potion wore off, Ellie silently followed the cloaked woman.
She wanted to see who was the order of Olive's maid to collect such a huge amount of soul-living rock crystals.
Ellie followed the cloaked woman out of the abandoned factory, wandered around in the slums of District XC, and finally entered a deep, deserted alley.
This alley is located in a group of old houses that look like they have been abandoned for a long time. Ellie noticed something was wrong as soon as she stepped into it.
This alley is too deep, and there is a road all the way inward, as if there is no end.
"Is it connected to the space formation? Or is there such a secret passage here?" Just as Ellie was deep in thought, the cloaked woman in front stopped in front of a dark wall.
The woman took off her cloak and knocked a few times on a brick on the wall. Then a large area of the wall was covered by a deep black shadow that looked like a solid entity.
With the sound of the door opening, a real door opened from the black shadow, and a strong man wearing a silver-gray coat walked out of the door.
The man wore a leather hat shaped like a wolf's head, and his gray eyes looked sharply at the woman in front of him.
"By order of Miss Olive, I am here to deliver a message." The woman took out a watch from her arms and showed it to the man wearing a wolf-skin hat as if it was proof.
"I know..." The man nodded, but his eyes still scanned the dim alley.
"A rat seems to be eyeing you." The man stared at Ellie's position and silently grinded his teeth.
"After entering, ask Mr. Icarus to change the location of the base. I will deal with the mouse." The man pushed Olive's maid into the door, and then closed the door. The deep shadow covering the wall gradually faded and transformed into The original wall.
"How did you find me?" Ellie, who was in an invisible state, looked at the man in front of her in confusion and clenched her fists unconsciously.
She felt a hint of danger in this man.
"I can smell...your scent." The man wearing a wolf scalp hat suddenly punched out while speaking, hitting Ellie directly in the alley with a powerful and heavy blow.
"Touch!" Ellie poured extraordinary power into her whole body, raised her arms, and maintained a defensive posture, easily blocking the man's blow.
"It has basically entered the category of melee power of a powerful saint, but... you seem to be just a high-level legend?" Ellie calculated the loss of her extraordinary power and the extraordinary aura exuded by the man in front of her. Its strength makes a simple judgment.
"Roar!" The man gritted his teeth and roared like a wild beast. The nails on his hands suddenly grew longer, and silver-gray fur grew on his arms, becoming like the claws of a wild beast.
He waved his claws and struck the air in front of him crazily, but Ellie defended them all.
After all, Ellie is a priest who is known for his physical strength, and among many saints, his strength is also ranked high.
Although the beast-like man has physical strength that is comparable to that of an ordinary saint, this strength still seems slightly weaker in front of Ellie.
After defending against a series of violent attacks, the corners of Ellie's mouth slightly curled up. She instantly poured extraordinary power into her hands, and struck the man's chest with an elbow at an extremely fast speed.
The man who had just launched a series of attacks had no time to defend himself and was instantly knocked back several steps by the elbow. Ellie wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, but when her fist came into contact with the man again, it seemed to hit a ball of air, with no direction at all.
"You are stronger than I thought." The man's entire chest turned into a cloud of white mist, and Ellie's fist landed on that white mist.
"I think we will meet again." The man retreated to the wall, and then his entire body turned into white mist, blending into the dark wall and disappearing.
Ellie, who stayed in the alley, punched the wall where the man disappeared, but even though the wall was dented and cracked, the previous door did not emerge.
"Is it a formation related to space? What about this alley?" Ellie looked back, only to find that the originally extremely deep alley now became no different from an ordinary alley. The end of the alley that could not be seen just now suddenly appeared. border.
"According to what that person just said... was it transferred?" Ellie recalled what she had just heard, and a familiar name appeared in her mind.
"Icarus... The person just mentioned Icarus, the No. 3 figure in the Alchemy Society, the master of alchemy known as the False Winged Serpent." Ellie touched her chin, sorting out her messy thoughts.
"They also mentioned Olive. The Duke of Wobilens must have something to do with it. They thought it was a clue to trace the fallen sect, but they didn't expect that they also involved the No. 3 figure of the Alchemy Society. Things are getting more and more complicated. ." Ellie looked at the wall where a big hole had been punched out by her punch, and said to herself, confirming her only gain from this trip.
"Although no substantial evidence was found, at least one vein of illegal mining was found."
"With such a large number of soul-living rock crystals, do you want to erase all the memories of half of the people in the XC area?"
"Forget it, I don't care what they want to do. I definitely can't let them get what they want anyway. I'll report it to Jerlend's urban construction department immediately and wait for it to be seized by the tax officer under that damn deaf man!"... ..In a deep space, a cloud of white mist came in along the crack of the door. After several changes, it finally transformed into the appearance of the man wearing the wolfskin hat.
"Fighter, have the rats outside been dealt with?" A long-haired man with various feather ornaments piled on his body walked out of the space and asked the man.
"It's not a mouse, there's a tiger. I'm no match for him. That man is much stronger than the average saint. He can even suppress me in terms of strength." The man known as the fighter shook his head.
"Do you see what that person looks like?"
"That person used the invisibility potion you developed. I can't see clearly, but from the smell, it should be a woman."
"Woman? Among the female saints in Albany, whether it is Jolina or Mel, the tendency of the priesthood is not good at physical strength, let alone to the extent of suppressing you. The person who took action may have arrived in Albany recently. An alien saint." Icarus fiddled with the feather pendant on his body, thinking about the warrior's words.
"The female saint who has recently arrived in Albany, you can guess who it is. General Ellie, who was brought here by little Anxi, has a priesthood of extraordinary, and the fighter is indeed no match for her." A man with a sallow complexion emerged from the dim space. Nei walked out, his body and expression were slightly stiff, but his eyes were particularly alert.
The man wore a purple and gold Duke's Medal on his chest. He just left the Grand Duke's Palace.
"Duke of Wobilens". And behind him stood Olive, the waitress who had just entered here.
"It seems that little Anxi is still biased against me, but it doesn't matter. She and little Anxi won't stay in Albany for too long. If they can't find any substantial clues, they will leave naturally. As for the secretly mined mineral vein, The quantity of soul-living rock crystals we need has already met the requirements of the ceremony, so it wouldn’t be a pity to abandon them.”
"But according to the news conveyed by Olive, the nobleman received by Archduke Bellvien this morning is the new Pirate King of the West Sea. His identity should perhaps attract our attention." Duke Wobilens glanced at the man next to him. The waitress changed the topic and said seriously.
"The Pirate King of the West Sea? Have we ever offended him in any way?" the fighter asked.
"I haven't offended him now, but we need to make two points clear about his identity." Duke Wobilens held out two fingers and said.
"First, No. 9 'Musician' Joseph most likely died in his hands."
"Second, his name is Pleasant Wilson, and he is the biological brother of No. 13."
