“It is you?”
When he heard that slightly surprised and puzzled female voice, Klein was startled, almost thinking someone had seen through his true identity.
He quickly calmed down, because he had already changed his appearance. He was now the dead Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilangos, and inside Qilangos was the mad adventurer Gehrman Sparrow. Inside Gehrman Sparrow was the great detective Sherlock Moriarty, and only inside Sherlock Moriarty was Klein Moretti.
And that was not all. Inside Klein Moretti was Mr. Fool, and Zhou Mingrui.
“There is no reason she could directly see through to my essence. And how would she know a small figure like Klein Moretti… Even Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilangos should not be enough to make the helper Vice Admiral Ailment Tracy invited so astonished! Someone specially invited by a Sequence 5 pirate admiral to protect herself and deal with an enemy must be at least a Sequence 4 demigod…
“So this sentence should be directed at Mr. Azik? Did that high-level Demoness recognize Mr. Azik, who disrupted their cooperation with the royal family and Ince Zangwill in Backlund? Or Mr. Azik from some past life?” Klein swiftly straightened out his thoughts while remaining alert against any sudden attack from Tracy and her helper. At the same time, he examined Mr. Azik’s reaction from the corner of his eye.
He was not surprised by the appearance of a mysterious powerhouse. First, Mr. Azik had already given warning. Second, he believed that Vice Admiral Ailment Tracy was not an arrogant fool. After nearly being assassinated, and while still unclear about the other party’s objective or what force stood behind them, she would most likely retreat, leave the waters of the Rorsted Archipelago, and seek help from the upper ranks of the Demoness Sect.
The only thing he had not expected was for the other party’s helper to arrive so quickly, as though she had been nearby, or as though she possessed a mystical item similar to that of a Traveler.
Combining the voice’s feminine qualities and soft beauty, Klein suspected that the one who had come was a demigod-level Demoness.
Standing on the thick carpet, Azik hesitated for two seconds before saying, “You know me?”
That tone is very uncertain… Could this big shot have spent one of his previous lives together with a Demoness? No, I cannot think that way… Klein first let his imagination run wild, then inwardly made a serious confession.
He noticed that Vice Admiral Ailment Tracy also wore a stunned expression. The certainty and calmness from before had both turned into confusion.
The soft female voice still came from no discernible place.
“Of course I know you. You should know me as well.”
Azik listened carefully for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
“My apologies. I have lost my past memories again and again, and I am currently in the process of recovering them.
“If you can remind me and help awaken more of my memories, I would be very grateful.”
Hearing their conversation, the shock and confusion on Tracy’s face gradually settled into caution.
She solemnly swept a glance over Klein, only to frown when confronted by the face of Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilangos.
The soft female voice gave a long sigh.
“The last time we met was more than thirteen hundred years ago, was it not? At that time, the Primordial and Death cooperated, raising the Pale Disaster upon the Northern Continent. You may have already forgotten that we once fought side by side against the saints and angels of the Church of Evernight.”
I know this part of history. It was in Emperor Roselle’s diary… Mr. Door mentioned that the ending was the Primordial Demoness suffering heavy injuries, only recently showing signs of being able to descend again, while Death directly fell, producing the Berserk Sea and cutting off the Northern and Southern Continents… The Demoness Sect and Death’s forces once had this kind of cooperation. No wonder this demigod-level…
