Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 91 I Have a Golden Dream

Ember looked at the sea level in the distance, and gradually rationalized her thoughts.

Refresh it.

Slaves are plundered from East Balam in the southern continent and need to go through four nodes:
Aurora Society—>Painting World—>Crazy Captain—>Carpin—>Royal House of Loen.

And this program can be simplified as Aurora Society -> Painting World -> Loen Royal Family.

The two procedures in the middle are completely pointless.

But Capin is a puppet supported by the Loen royal family, and it is also speculated that the crazy captain may also be a member of the Aurora Society.

The purpose of their existence is to act as a 'filter' and 'spokesperson' for both parties.

"No, it shouldn't be."

Ember thought for a long time, then shook her head lightly, overturning her guess.

Although the crazy captain is 'crazy', he is obviously not a true lunatic like the Aurora Society, at most he is a 'crazy' who doesn't know what to do.

When he did it before, he was even going to sue for peace with himself, but the lunatics of the Aurora Society would not sue for peace.

Moreover, the other party's path is obviously not the path of "Secret Prayer".

In other words.

Either the crazy captain is also a member of the royal family, or he belongs to a third-party force.

Ember is more inclined to the second possibility.

Because if he is a member of the royal family, then the whole delivery process becomes——

Aurora Club—>Painting World—>Royal Family—>Royal Family—>Royal Family.

If this is the case, it is purely a brain hole in the royal family.

And "The Hanged Man" said that the crazy captain is the subordinate of "Sick Girl" Tracy.

Ember had guessed that she might be the 'Assassin' route.

And the Beyonders of the 'Assassin' path have always come from the Witch Sect.

Then.

The whole process should be Aurora Society -> Painting World -> Witch Sect -> Kapin -> Loen Royal Family.

"Aurora Society, Witch Church, Loen Royal Family."

"Tsk, does this count as a nest of snakes and rats?"

Ember clicked her tongue, being able to mix with two cult organizations, the Loen royal family is not a good thing either.

And he probably guessed the reason why the three parties had to engage in such a cumbersome handover procedure.

Because they don't trust each other.

The royal family does not believe in the Aurora Society, so they do not want to trade directly with the Aurora Society.

So let the Witch Sect act as an intermediary, but because you don't believe in the Witch Sect, you let Kapin come forward.

of course.

It is also possible that the royal family thought that they were dealing with the Witch Sect from the beginning to the end, but the Witch Sect secretly chose to 'outsource' to the Aurora Society.

In other words.

With the crazy captain preferring death to surrender, Ember wants to continue the investigation.

The most recent breakthrough is the Witch Church.

And there is only one witch known in the sea——

sick girl.

"Perhaps, Mister 'The Hanged Man' can provide a clue."

Ember was deep in thought, but just as she was thinking, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a golden 'sun' appearing on the distant horizon.

and.

This 'little sun' is still zooming in and approaching at an extremely fast speed.

Finally, the entire outline of 'Little Sun' appeared in Ember's sight.

That was not the sun, but a sailing ship glowing with golden light under the sunlight.

Ember's expression moved slightly.

Although 'The Hanged Man' promises to come find himself.

But finding a boat in the vast sea is not much different from finding a needle in a haystack.

Now that it's finally come to a ship, he certainly doesn't want to let it go easily.

just.

He just wanted to start to catch up before the other party left.

But in the end, he found that the other party seemed to have adjusted his direction and was looking to approach him.

He can be sure.

The other party must have noticed the strangeness of this ship.

But instead of leaving, they approached on their own initiative.

Is it out of curiosity?
Or do you have enough confidence in your own strength?

The golden sailing ship with dazzling light, as if it could blind people's eyes, approached quickly, and began to slow down when it was about to approach, and finally completed the parallel with the 'One-eyed Skull'.

The distance between the two sides was so close that Ember could see the sailors above, the vigilance on their faces, and the cold weapons they held tightly in their hands.

It seems that they are preparing for a gang-jumping operation.

And in fact, they did.

Almost the first time.

A soldier in full-body plate armor jumped onto the deck with a group of sailors, looking at Ember with vigilance.

"This time we must leave a few more alive."

Ember clenched the black knight's great sword in her hand, silently reminding herself in her heart.

But after thinking about it, I feel that the big sword kills too fast, and it can't stop after killing.

So he silently changed to the straight sword of Illziel.

but.

They didn't fight after all.

Ember froze for a moment when she saw the sun symbol on the chest of the opponent's armor.

So he didn't do it.

Because a beautiful lady is standing quietly on the side of the ship.

So they didn't do it either.

The lady had a pretty face like a goose egg, with a straight nose, thin lips, and a pair of light blue eyes like clear spring water.

The long brown hair was parted in the middle, tied in a simple but delicate knot at the back of the head, and then flowed down smoothly.

She didn't wear a hat, and she was wearing a beige coat that was tightened at the waist. At the neckline, there was a large piece of white lace woven into a palm-sized flower-shaped decoration that spread down, giving people an intellectual beauty.

The lower body is a pair of dark trousers, paired with leather boots, which is not only intellectually beautiful, but also a lot more sassy.

"Captain, be careful!"

A sailor next to the lady reminded vigilantly.

Not only him, several sailors were quietly approaching the beautiful lady, faintly blocking her in a half-fan shape.

"captain?"

Ember was a little surprised.

Because compared to the stereotyped pirate captain, she is more like a rich lady who came to sea for an outing.

not to mention.

Standing with these vicious pirates, she is more like an innocent girl who was trafficked here.

"Want a ride?"

The beautiful lady on the ship's side suddenly spoke, her voice was clear and pleasant.

But for some reason, she spoke in ancient Feysac.

If it wasn't for Ember wearing the 'Eye of Wisdom', I'm afraid I really wouldn't understand.

"captain!"

The expression of the sailor on the side changed slightly, and he hurriedly wanted to dissuade him.

But the lady just looked at him quietly with light blue eyes.

The sailor hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and took two steps back without saying a word.

"Are you going to come up?"

The lady looked at Ember again and asked softly.

"it is good."

Ember looked at the lady's unpretentious expression, thought for a while and nodded slightly.

A stranger who had slaughtered a boatload of people was invited to board the boat just after they met. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was wrong.

but.

Embers don't care.

If the other party sincerely gives him a ride, he doesn't mind taking a ride.

But if the other party wants to give him a ride, then he doesn't mind giving them a ride.

thinking.

Ember jumped lightly and landed firmly on the deck.

He was obviously wearing heavy armor, but he didn't make the slightest sound while jumping.

When it landed on the deck, it didn't hit it, but it was as light as a cat.

At this scene, a gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the beautiful lady.

"Edwina Edwards."

The lady suddenly reached out her hand to Ember and introduced herself.

"..."

Ember was silent for a moment, stretched out her palm covered with gauntlet, and said softly, "Ash Black."

"Ash Black?"

Hearing this name, Edwina suddenly frowned for some reason.

The sailors next to him noticed the change in the captain's expression, and each of them quietly clenched their weapons.

But Edwina's frown was only for a moment, and she seemed to think of something again.

"Mr. Ash."

Edwina asked softly, "Can I ask why you are here?"

"Because of an accident."

Ember thought for a while and replied.

"Accident?"

Edwina seemed quite interested in his experience, and asked, "What kind of accident?"

Ember didn't answer, just looked at her quietly.

"Sorry, I was rude, you don't have to answer."

Edwina immediately reacted and apologized for her actions.

"Where are we here?"

Ember pondered for a moment, then asked.

"Sonia Sea."

Edwina was not surprised by Ember's question, and replied, "If you want to ask about the specific location, this is in the southeast direction of Tuscatel Island, [-] nautical miles away from Tuscatel Island, and about three miles away from Bayam. Fifteen hundred nautical miles."

Ember put on a thoughtful look, but in fact he didn't know these two places at all.

After thinking for a long time, Ember asked politely, "Can you prepare a room for me? I want to take a rest first."

"of course."

Edwina nodded lightly, "Brue, take Ash to arrange the room."

"Okay, Captain."

The first mate, Bruce Walls, with short gray curly hair, pushed his monocle and said in a slightly respectful tone.

"Come with me, Mr. Ash."

Bruce Walls walked up to the man in black knight armor, made a gesture of invitation, and then led him directly to the cabin.

"captain."

The two had just left, and Orpheus, the second officer who had just jumped to another ship, jumped back.

He took off his helmet, revealing a tough face like a sculpture.

Then he took three steps in parallel, and quickly came to Edwina's side, and said in a low voice, "I know this ship, this is the One-Eyed Skull. It is the flagship of the 'Crazy Captain' under the sick girl. a boat."

"and,"

Orpheus took a deep breath, his eyes were serious, "I checked, and there is no one alive on board, that guy is definitely a ruthless character! We shouldn't let him aboard."

"Crazy Captain?"

Edwina frowned slightly, and suddenly asked, "The human trafficker?"

"Yes."

Orpheus nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Although I don't like this kind of guy, he is still a Sequence 6 Extraordinary, and he has two Sequence 7s under him. It’s also hard to get them at a price.”

"But all the traces on the ship show that this is more like a premeditated massacre!"

"That guy is too dangerous!"

"Captain, do you want to..."

Upon hearing this, the third officer next to him was also a little worried, and made a gesture of cutting his throat.

Edwina looked at Jodson.

Compared with the others, Jodsen looked more like a clerk than a pirate, in a white shirt, black waistcoat, and colorful bow tie.

But his words were more direct than anyone else's.

Jodsen, on the other hand, was not guilty at all, but proudly puffed out his chest.

Orphus, the second mate, glanced at Jodson, who was nicknamed 'The Bow Tie', although he was always unhappy with the third mate.

But I have to admit that what he said made sense.

For this kind of unknown and obviously extremely cruel person, it is always good to act first.

Although they are not vicious pirates, they are still pirates after all, not good people.

A good man cannot survive at sea.

"Do not."

Edwina shook her head slightly, and said softly, "Have you thought about a question?"

"what?"

The second Orpheus and the third "flower tie" Jodson were taken aback at the same time.

"If it was the crew he killed, how did he get on board?"

Edwina looked at the dried blood on the One-Eyed Skull opposite, and said softly.

"This……"

The second officer, Orpheus, was slightly taken aback, and also a little strange.

Yes.

How did he get on board?

Wearing such a suit of armor, standing in the crowd is the most beautiful boy, definitely standing out from the crowd.

If he doesn't deal with the 'crazy captain', it is absolutely impossible to board the ship openly.

not to mention.

It is at least a day's flight from the nearest island here, and judging from the time of death of those people, it should not exceed ten hours.

That is to say, the other party made a move in the sea where there is no island in front and no land in the back.

But this makes another problem more acute -

How on earth did he get on board?
"Is it internal strife?"

The second officer Orpheus thought for a while, and asked with some uncertainty.

"captain."

'Flower Bow Tie' leaned forward again and urged, "If this is the case, then let him not be allowed on the boat. We'd better strike first and kill him as soon as possible!"

"I'm thinking."

A bright color flashed in Edwina's beautiful eyes, "Is there a possibility that he was picked up by the crazy captain?"

The second officer was full of surprise, and wanted to ask for details.

But at this moment, the first mate, Bruce Walls, came back.

"How about it?"

Edwina asked.

"It's normal."

Bruce Walls replied, "He was very calm all the way. I arranged for two alert sailors to guard outside his door. If there is any situation, we can find out as soon as possible."

"Which room did you put him in?"

Edwina nodded slightly, expressing her approval for the chief mate's actions, and asked again.

"Jordson's."

Bruce Walls glanced at 'Flower Tie', and said casually, "After all, he is a guest, and he is a strong man, so we can't let him live on the lower floor with other sailors, right?"

"Um?!"

'Flower Bow Tie' Jodson, who was still watching the play, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and said angrily, "You bastard! Why don't you give him your room?!"

"I'm the first mate."

Bruce Walls glanced at the 'flower tie' with disdain, and said leisurely.

"Nima's!"

'Flower Bow Tie' was furious, "That's my room, no, I have to take it back!"

Edwina looked at the two subordinates, as if she could see their agitation, and said indifferently, "Don't do anything superfluous, and don't conflict with him. Jodsen, I will lend him your room temporarily. , within a few days."

"Yes, Captain."

First mate Blue and second mate Orpheus nodded without hesitation.

There was only silence for a long time, and he nodded slightly.

And 'Flower Bow Tie' Jodsen was watched by Edwina, although he was annoyed in his heart, he had no choice but to nod in response.

Edwina didn't say any more, she still had the most basic trust in her subordinates.

If they can't even do this little thing well, they are not eligible to stay on the ship.

The lady turned and walked to the captain's cabin, closing the door to block their view while the others watched.

Edwina walked to the table, took out the letter paper and pen, thought for a long time before writing:

"Dear teacher Clara..."
