Klein cast his eyes on the diary page before him.
"2nd August. This goes deeper than I imagined. History sure is something that can be manipulated easily."
"5th August. I witnessed the abilities of a High-Sequence Beyonder today. It was scary indeed. There's a qualitative change that has happened to them in a particular aspect; it was as though they'd transformed into a deity. It's no wonder that we describe them as 'Demigods', though I think calling them 'Legendary beings' is more fitting."
"6th August. Why would the Seven Major Churches adopt such a strange attitude towards the potions? At the low to middle Sequences, they not only provide the main ingredients to those who managed to advance, but they're also generous enough to share the formulas, demonstrate the process needed to create the potion, and explain in detail if a ritual is needed to create the medicine, yet finished potions are the only things they provide to those who are advancing to the higher Sequences.
This isn't logical. Shouldn't they keep the formula secret for the lower Sequence potions and give the candidate the completed potion since it's relatively easy to gather the necessary ingredients and create the potion? As for the higher Sequence potions, shouldn't they share the formula and make the promising members search for the ingredients due to the difficulty of obtaining the main ingredients?
There must be some hidden secret to this."
"9th August. The events of the past two days have made me feel uncomfortable. I started the Industrial Revolution with my own hands and personally ushered in the Age of Steam and Machinery, but this will create the conditions necessary for the Evil God to descend upon this world?"
"You can start your discussion freely now."
Alger said, "I received a new piece of information. Rear Admiral Hurricane Qilangos infiltrated Backlund to complete a difficult mission and might stay for an extended period of time. This incident involves a very important item that would allow Qilangos to become a High-Sequence Beyonder."
"Become a High-Sequence Beyonder? Does he not fear losing control?" Audrey asked.
Qilangos was only a Sequence 6 Wind-blessed, so there was still a Sequence between him and Sequence 4.
Alger said, "That's why the object is important to him.
Of course, those are simply my guesses. The information I received goes like this: Qilangos believes that once he completes the commission and obtains the object, he will be the equal of Nast, the King of the Five Seas. The Four Pirate Kings would become Five Pirate Kings, and the Seven Pirate Admirals would be reduced to six.
The average person might not be aware of this, but as Beyonders, we should know that Pirate Kings are either High-Sequence Beyonders or are able to reach the combat strength of a High-Sequence Beyonder with the use of Beyonder boats and mysterious items. For Qilangos to be acknowledged as their equal, he would have to reach standards that are close to that."
Klein replied, "I'm aware."
"In conclusion, we have more or less targeted the general area Qilangos will be at, and we'll soon start the next phase of investigations." Audrey first gave a simple summary, then with the attitude that she was doing something important, said, "We need more information, preferably the hobbies and habits of Qilangos."
Alger recalled, "He loves fish, especially fish from the sea. He would slice it and eat it raw...
He also likes hard liquor and despises champagne, red wine, and the like...
He will often look for women to relieve his needs whenever he heads to shore, and with his strong body, one woman will not be enough to satisfy him...
He's used to using cold weapons and avoids hot weapons.
He cannot be away from water for long periods of time. What I mean is that he needs to swim or dive once every couple of days."
Audrey committed these facts to memory.
"Let's hope that the investigation will be a success. It's a pleasure working with you." She smiled after Alger was done.
"My pleasure." All Alger could do was force himself to believe in Miss Justice, who had considerable power in Backlund.
"Let's end it here for today."
After severing the connections of the members, Klein descended from the fog and left the mysterious space.
