"Alexander Gascoigne..."
"Black Throne," Antia Troliss repeated, reading Luze's pseudonym. Her red eyes scrutinized him from head to toe, lingering particularly long on his overly handsome face.
"She's alright looking..."
She murmured.
"So, who are you, and why do you possess the key left behind by Roselle?"
She quickly raised her voice again and said to Lu Ze, "I have shared my story with you, and in return, you should at least tell me about your own situation."
"My words..."
Lu Ze thought for a moment, "I haven't had any direct contact with Russell, but in a way, I have a relationship with him."
"We've never met, but we still have a connection..."
Antia smiled slightly upon hearing his words, without questioning him. "You, like Roselle, have your own secrets, right? Just like how, even though you are Sequence 4 of the Mystic Path, you still maintain your rationality and haven't become a fanatical believer in the true Creator."
She saw through my methods... Well, that makes sense. As a Sequence 2 angel, it would be strange if she didn't discover something. Lu Ze thought to himself, but even she probably didn't notice the tidal wave within me...
As his experience grew, he became increasingly certain that his cheat ability was at least at the level of a true god, and possibly even higher.
"As you said, I am Sequence 4 of the Mystic Path, the Black Knight."
Lu Ze readily admitted it.
"There are countless dead in the shadows beneath your feet."
Antia added that she clearly saw a heavy and terrifying aura of death emanating from Luze.
"Some were wicked people who deserved to die, but most were innocent people who died unjustly."
Lu Ze said calmly, "The wicked will suffer eternal pain and endless torment within me, while the innocent will receive my redemption from their depravity and find peace in my shadow."
That's what he said, and that's exactly what he did.
"very good."
Antia's clear eyes reflected his calm expression, then suddenly smiled after a moment. "It seems you are an extraordinary person who has truly grasped the essence of the Hanged Man."
"6
'
Lu Ze did not answer; if he could, he would not actually want to gain these painful insights.
"What are you doing right now?"
"I'm wanted by several countries in the Northern Continent. I'm nominally a notorious pirate at sea, but I don't plunder ordinary people. Most of the time, I'm attacking maritime colonists, either destroying their government institutions or cracking down on their slave ships..."
Luzer replied, "In a way, it's destroying the colonial boom that Russell started."
Antia remained noncommittal.
She seemed to be judging me... Lu Ze thought to himself. Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask, "What are your plans for the future?"
"What are my plans for the future? Hehe..."
Lu Ze's words elicited a soft chuckle from Antia.
"If I told you I planned to leave alone, would you really be willing?"
She looked at Lu Ze with a playful smile.
"...I can't say."
Lu Ze shook his head.
Even if I don't want to, I can't stop you. He thought to himself, you are the Duke of Entropy, a Sequence 2, an angel on earth, while I am just a demigod, a Sequence 4... Although he possesses some powerful abilities that are enough to overturn the table, using them here would be too irrational.
"If you pretend to be willing to let me go, I'll think you're being hypocritical."
Antia said, "Don't worry, I have no intention of disobeying Roselle's final orders."
In other words...she wants to acknowledge me as her master?
Lu Ze raised an eyebrow slightly.
"To be honest, I'm a little surprised," he said. "After being treated like that by Roselle, you're still willing to follow that emperor's final instructions."
If he were to suffer such a fate, not only would he refuse to obey orders, but he would also seek revenge on Roselle, dig up the corpse, and beat him up to vent his anger.
The black-haired Antia shook her head. "Because you don't understand. That's Russell Gustav. He wouldn't leave any potential threats for himself."
"I was bound by restrictions from the very beginning of my creation." She pointed to the chains around her neck. "My spiritual instincts prevent me from refusing the contract with you."
He truly deserves the title of "Son of Steam."
"Roselle's skill in craftsmanship is indeed remarkable."
Lu Ze sighed.
"more than."
Antia glanced at him. "With craftsmanship alone, it's impossible to impose such severe restrictions on a Sequence 2 angel... The reason I'm being so obedient is for another reason."
Lu Ze was taken aback.
"Other reasons?"
He repeated.
"Yes, he exerted an influence on my mind. It was a primal shock from the depths of my spirit, an unconditional suppression of the inferior by the superior in the same pathway sequence..."
Antia said in a deep voice, and seeing that Luze did not understand, she simply said in more direct terms, "I suspect that Roselle and I are from the same pathway, and that his sequence is higher than mine..."
Indeed, this reasoning makes sense. As someone who follows the "Mystic Prayer" path, Lu Ze knows best how profound the influence of those above them on those below them can be. However, at the same time, he was also somewhat taken aback by this information.
The sequence is higher than hers?
She's already an angel!
Could Roselle be a Sequence 1 of the "Lawyer" pathway, or... a higher true god? But looking at the records in his diary, he was undoubtedly an extraordinary being of the Craftsman pathway, a god-given figure certified by the Steam Church... Unless, he switched pathways midway?
Many thoughts rushed through Lu Ze's mind. He felt as if he had grasped some clue, but he still seemed to be missing some key information.
"Are you sure this was Roselle's influence?"
He asked seriously.
"Probably, after all, it happened 152 years ago."
Antia asked, "What, is this matter so important?"
It's important, of course it's important. I'm not even sure what this really means... However, her words alone are a bit weak. Perhaps I can contact the Queen.
Lu Ze thought to himself and shook his head.
"We can talk about these things later."
He looked up at Antia and said, "Let's deal with the immediate problem first."
Looking into the other person's beautiful red eyes, Lu Ze's expression gradually became serious.
Now that things have come to this, he has decided to persuade the other party to let this Sequence 2 angel become an ally on his side. With a Sequence 2 ship as his flagship, his strength will be greatly enhanced, and he will not be at a disadvantage when fighting against other kings or official extraordinary beings at sea.
"Let me be frank, Antia Troliss, would you be willing to become my flagship?"
Finally, Lu Ze revealed his intentions.
