Chapter 975 Gabriel's Visit

Bara didn't respond, but waved the documents in her hand: "Mr. Daron!"

Van Gogh reminded him, "Old man, it's important!"

The old man then took the document in a daze, and looked at Barra again: "Are you working for the law enforcement officers?"

Bala: "Yes!"

The old man chuckled. "Actually, I don't want to work for Sherlock anymore. May I ask, Your Excellency, what do you wish to investigate?"

Raziel suddenly froze: "You, you..."

The old man chuckled and said, "Sir, please speak slowly. Although you are drunk, I can still understand you."

"So powerful?" Raziel asked. "Why don't you want to work for him anymore?"

The old man scoffed, "Master Raven has publicly broken with Sherlock, so why should I work for a guy in prison? Besides, I have a new faith now."

Sariel exclaimed excitedly, "That's right, that's right! Now he's with my mermaid!"

Raziel immediately changed his plan: "Boss, judging from the old man's words, Sherlock has lost power. Why don't we just stop saving him, find his property, and convict him?"

Michael frowned: "I don't care anymore, I just want the money!"

Raziel showed Makado a map: "I'm investigating Sherlock's illicit property. This is his property in Silver City, can you confirm it?"

The old man shook his head: "I don't know about Silver City, I only know about Gem City."

After saying that, he took out a map and drew a few circles on it, saying as he drew, "I can't control these places, but there's a sum of money in my basement. You can come to my house to get it, but I have one condition."

Raziel was overjoyed: "You have one? What are the conditions?"

The old man scoffed, "I want to donate this money to Lady Helen, the Silver Throne of my faith. Lady Helen has been persecuted by Sherlock all along, and she is the one with the most authority to dispose of these assets!"

Sariel laughed heartily: "As expected of my darling's devout follower, accept it, accept it!!"

At that moment, both the painter and the fisherman were stunned: "Old man, you had a lot of money hidden in your house?"

The old man said irritably, "Just keeping it safe. When I was young, I fought all over the world with Sherlock's Pioneer Order. Back then, Sherlock was fair, selfless, and compassionate, and I admired him very much, becoming his most loyal henchman. But I was just a mercenary and couldn't join the order, so I secretly dealt with some villains for Sherlock. But so many years have passed, Sherlock's power has grown, and he's become more and more hypocritical, so I've come to terms with it."

Raziel had no time to listen to the old man's reminiscing: "As the most devout believer of the Throne of Helen, do you know where Lady Helen is?"

The old man chuckled: "I know, it's on Evil Spirit Island where the shadow banking news is all the rage lately, so I'm donating this to Lady Helen."

Sariel suddenly realized: "So my little mermaid was already making arrangements in secret!"

Raziel perked up: "No problem! May I ask, is there a lot of money?"

The old man said in a deep voice, "Prepare ten horse-drawn carriages! Have a medium-sized ship ready at the dock. It must be fast, otherwise, if a customs inspector comes to the city and stops us, we might not be able to get the goods out!"

so much!!

Michael was excited: "The wealth of ten carriages is enough for me to maintain my position as lord of Evil Spirit Island. Raziel, do your best to handle this matter well. Don't go looking for Marquis Guaido for now. Just make sure you're not targeted by Andariel and our money transport is not disrupted. Sariel Raphael, immediately persuade the Siren Goddess to move Evil Spirit Island to Gem City. Be quick!"

Sariel was even more excited: "No problem, since the mermaid is behind this, then there's even less of a problem."

The next moment, Sariel hurriedly found the Siren Goddess: "Goddess, the First Sage has found a huge sum of money, please go to Gem City immediately!"

The siren laughed heartily: "No problem, old tortoise, full speed ahead!"

When it comes to money, everything goes smoothly!

Raziel immediately reported to Darrow: "The Island of Evil is on its way. Once it arrives, our carriages will depart immediately, ensuring a seamless connection as quickly as possible..."

The old man sighed, "But Your Honor, do you know what you're doing?"

Raziel's heart skipped a beat!
That's right, transferring money to shadow banks isn't something the divine enforcers should be doing, but there's not much they can do about it. Fortunately, Raziel has already come to approve of Bala.

“I’m actually investigating Ghost Island too. If there’s a problem with the way we’re investigating, Ms. Bara, I trust you’ll continue our work.”

At this point, Raziel simply unlocked the shackles of his soul!

Bara was instantly moved: "Sir, what is this?"

Raziel smiled helplessly and said, "I feel like I might have broken some rules and might go to jail."

Bara panicked: "How can an adult go to jail? If an adult goes to jail, I'm doomed! I can't run away!"

The old man and the fisherman coughed lightly: "Ms. Barbara, and us too, we used to be your fans..."

Gabriel chuckled: "Looks like this is the advantage of having the original Dark Soul Witch appear! She has enemies, but also lovers."

Raziel said irritably, "I might not even go to jail. Two old men dare to try and steal my secretary? They're dreaming."

Sariel, however, thought of two other sums of money: "Obviously, both the fitness instructor in Silver City and the escaped Master Raven have a sum of money they can readily access; that's the bishop's money. We haven't heard from Master Raven, so our next step is to get our hands on the fitness instructor's money. Maybe it's in the basement of his gym."

Gabriel exclaimed in surprise, "Since this fitness coach was brought together by the mermaid, shouldn't he also become a loyal follower of the mermaid and hand over his money?"

Sariel scoffed, "It must be because in Silver City, under Sherlock's nose, it's not so easy to turn someone against their will. Besides, this old man's change of heart was clearly triggered by the presence of the Dark Witch..."

Just then, Jenny appeared with a mage force of several dozen men: "I'm sorry, it took the butler a little while to mobilize the manpower. These are all Miss Eve's guards. Since Miss Eve is not here, we are temporarily mobilizing them, but only within the city, not outside."

Raziel was very pleased: "No need to leave the city, just wait like this, you don't need to do anything for now."

Jenny: "Understood. Protect this law enforcement officer with all your might!"

……

The game was played at 10:00 AM.

Gabriel sped through the desert to the coordinates of the alarm.

Let me confirm first: "Head Maid, is this the place?"

The head maid said, "The alarm was raised here a few hours ago, but we can't confirm it now. But since it's a mission from the Divine Throne, we must do our best to complete it."

"Understood, I will fall asleep immediately. Please take good care of my body, Head Maid."

"Don't worry, the Sage's body is equipped with an energy core, which can greatly enhance your soul and physical strength. There won't be any problems."

What energy-concentrating core? It's clearly a monitoring device and a suicide bomb...

Gabriel was angry but helpless, so he lay down and took out a syringe to inject himself with sleeping pills.

Then everything went black—System notification: Activate Dream Angel Mode!
At that moment, Gabriel clearly heard the roar of the energy core and was shocked to find that a ring of energy collectors was also welded to the chest of his soul, and it went straight through to his back!
Gabriel was filled with hatred: "Even in my spirit form, they still won't let me go!"

Michael was truly astonished: "This is no ordinary divine artifact-level soul weapon! The Emperor has certainly invested heavily in you!"

But the next moment, Gabriel was surprised: "I feel that my Dream Angel is much stronger than before. Even if I encounter the Nightmare Dragon that devoured me last time, I am confident that I can win!"

—Core prompt: Should we enter the elemental realm?
Gabriel was even more astonished: "This thing can cross boundaries?!"

Enter! The scene changes, and the surroundings are shrouded in mist and a howling wind blows.

"So convenient! Just how powerful is this core?!"

Even in the face of such fierce winds, Gabriel appeared as calm and composed as a soaring angel.

Gabriel chuckled: "What's going on? I suddenly like this feeling!"

Sila chuckled: "Because you're a bitch!"

"Shut up, you bitch!"

Just then, Gabriel popped up another map—Energy Core notification: Mission objective detected!

Wow! That's amazing, they found it from so far away in no time...

Michael cautioned, "Be very careful when approaching; the other party could very well be the Pirate King."

Gabriel checked his dream artifacts and found that they were all fully charged and ready to use!

Very good, this week of waiting for resurrection still has its advantages. When the time comes, use it all! With the added boost from the energy core, escaping shouldn't be a problem at least.

—System notification: You have activated the Dream Artifact "Dreamlike Wings of Ikeros"...

——System prompt: You have activated the dream artifact "Ring of Illusion Phantom Thasos"...

——System prompt: You have activated the dream artifact "Oneiros Cloak"...

——System prompt: You have activated the dream artifact "Mirror of Morpheus the Mind Reader"...

Finally, activate the most powerful artifact!
——System prompt: You have activated the dream artifact "God's Right Seat of the Coming Gospel"!
With the support of the energy core, Gabriel radiated golden light, as if a divine throne had descended!

Gabriel was stunned: "With these stats, I feel like I could still put up a fight..."

Sila laughed and said, "Well, at least the power of a self-destruction must be huge!"

……

Da Chun anxiously watched the pirate ship's looting progress; only one hour remained. The Fhogal airship was already becoming indistinctly transparent, and his own pirate ship was similarly blurry, its external structure altering. Was the pirate ship about to transform into an airship?
Just then, the magic crystal screen in the cockpit started to sound an alarm—Pirate Guardian alert: An extremely high-threat energy entity has been detected approaching. Prepare for battle!
At the same time, a golden figure appeared on the magic crystal screen, sitting on a sofa—Holy crap, Gabriel, the Tenth Master! She's come looking for us!

The fake Tifa was suddenly shocked: "She's been fitted with the Emperor's energy core! This is insane!"

Da Chun asked in surprise, "How crazy is it?"

The fake Tifa exclaimed, "It's at least ten times stronger than the one in your wheelchair! It has surveillance and self-destruct capabilities!"

Da Chun panicked: "Then how can we possibly win?"

The fake Tifa said in a deep voice, "It's a pity that Lia didn't come. Putting aside the self-destruction, fighting her would be quite difficult, and it would also affect our plundering and fusion effects..."

Da Chun's mind raced. Self-destruct? Gabriel is still in soul form. If his soul self-destructs, how long will it take for him to revive? Besides, Libnashi said earlier that her mission was just to investigate. There's no need to risk her life for an investigation, right? Not to mention, she's a player, and players have the typical traits of players!
Da Chun made a quick decision: since he had become a pirate, he had to be willing to gamble!
Da Chun immediately ordered: "All the dancers, Mina, sirens, and Nightmare Jazz all, hide in the inner cabins and don't show yourselves. I need to talk to them first."

Then I remembered the Blood Crystal Bat. It wasn't a spirit, so it probably wouldn't be convenient for it to get on the ship: "Blood Crystal Bat, stay invisible in the fog near the ship and be ready to ambush at any time."

"Received, Master."

Given the Blood Crystal Bats' capabilities, even if their stealth is detected, it would still pose a significant deterrent on the periphery.

The fake Tifa was stunned: "Talk?"

Of course, they had to talk. The gamble was on Maria's analysis: the Emperor actually hoped a new Pirate King could inherit the mantle. The gamble was on the Ten Elders wanting to cultivate a closer relationship with the Pirate King.

Da Chun looked at himself: "Fake Tifa, help me strengthen my illusion again. I want to look more like you."

Fake Ti exclaimed in surprise, "It already looks very similar."

Anyway, I got 10 temporary illusion points from the little CEO sister, so I'll use as many as I can now!

Da Chun said urgently, "Then transform both of us at the same time, making us more magnificent and imposing than we are now. I have a lot of illusion points."

“No problem! You start your illusion spell first, and I'll guide you.”

The fake Tifa placed one hand on Da Chun's forehead, and illusion energy began to surge and flow between the two of them. They also began to shine, and a powerful aura emanated from them.

very good!

"Wait a minute, our identities are twins, the Pirate Twins, the Pirate King's loyal subordinates."

Fake Tifa let out a cold snort.

With everything on board nearly ready, Da Chun began broadcasting over the loudspeaker: "Friends or enemies?"

As Gabriel pierced through the thick fog and drew closer to his target, he suddenly heard a woman's voice shouting.

this? !

As promised, Gabriel's mission was to investigate, so I quickly replied, "A friend indeed! Sage Gabriel of Oakwood City has come to visit."

The other party responded: "You are very famous, you are welcome to visit!"

Gabriel was quite taken aback: "She's really that friendly?"

Sariel was even more interested: "The Pirate King couldn't possibly be a woman, could he?"

Raphael: "Could it be Aziza?"

As they were talking, Gabriel flew closer and saw what was there: two blurry ships side by side!
Michael was stunned: "This is the Pirate King stealing the airship?"

The loudspeaker sounded again: "Oak Sage, it's too windy outside to greet you on deck. The cabin door is open, please come inside."

"Thank you, thank you!"

Gabriel's throne began to transform, shrinking to a size that allowed him to enter the cabin. He was surprised to find two radiant women dressed in black robes that covered their heads and faces, standing in the cabin's passageway.

"Pirate Twins, welcome, Sage!"

They really are pirates! And these are pirates I've never seen before!

Gabriel asked in surprise, "Then you are the Pirate King?"

"We are loyal subordinates of the third-generation Pirate King, and we have come to seize the treasure on his orders."

Gabriel was taken aback: "Then why are you welcoming me so warmly?"

"The Pirate King's great achievements need to be witnessed and publicized by a famous figure like the Oak Sage."

Gabriel then realized: "So, the Pirate King desperately needs prestige right now?"

"Yes!"
