Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 437 Elaine’s Story

Elaine... sounds like a name from Intis. Of course, this is hard to say. Many people in the Loen Kingdom have followed suit and come up with names with exotic pronunciations... Angel nodded lightly in response:

"Call me Angelica."

Elaine on the sofa seems to be confident in her own strength. She has put away the dagger and even assumed a comfortable posture. Her slender legs are very tempting under the moist and close-fitting long skirt.

She doesn't even look like a stowaway... She is even wearing a dress that is difficult to move around. Could she be a passenger on a nearby shipwreck?

Angel's curiosity became more and more intense and he asked:

"Miss Elaine, why did you come to my room like this? If you accidentally fell into the water due to a shipwreck and came to this ship, you can ask the captain to arrange a room. I believe he will be happy to help. "

Rescuing people in distress is a customary behavior for every regular ship sailing on the five seas. After all, no one knows whether he will be the next unlucky person.

"I'm not a passenger who fell into the water... Well, you can't say I'm not, I escaped from a pirate ship." The red-haired Elaine's face showed distress at first, and then became angry, "Why are you asking so much? There should be room service on the passenger ship. I told you, double dinner, don’t force me to do anything.”

She pressed the dagger sheath on her waist threateningly, exuding a sense of menace that did not belong to ordinary people.

No... It's more like a provocation. She can't be the "Hunter" path, right? There seem to be too many hunters recently... The corners of Angel's mouth twitched involuntarily, thinking of the various things he encountered before leaving Bayam. hunter.

Moreover, Elaine said that she was a victim escaping from the clutches of pirates, which did not constitute a reason for her to avoid the captain and other sailors. It is also the obligation of various ships to rescue survivors who were attacked by pirates, unless she herself was on a wanted order. character, afraid of being recognized.

But there is no such wanted notice for a red-haired woman in my memory, unless she is a small character worth only a few hundred pounds... Angel thought for a moment and replied with a smile:

"Sorry, there is no room service on this ship. If you want to eat, you can only go to the restaurant. It may still be open, but you can either go by yourself or I can buy it for you."

Obviously she did not expect such a result, Elaine's beautiful lips parted, showing an expression of surprise.

Seeing that he had gradually taken the initiative in the conversation, Angel continued to suggest:

"Whether you escaped from pirates or were a castaway on an ordinary ship, I have no intention of reporting you to the captain. Why don't we all have more trust and less suspicion? I don't mind having one more resident in the suite, and you can chat too." From my own experience, I know a few writers, and I treat them as helping them source materials.”

She was really interested in what happened to the red-haired Elaine, especially on a boring sea voyage. It might not be a bad thing to have a chat partner, so she brought some "instruction" in her words. strength.

As for writers... Angel knows quite a few, such as the Nighthawks from Tingen City, the white-haired Sika, and Forsi from Backlund, but this is completely an excuse at this time.

"Okay, I just said that breaking into your room was just to find a place to stay."

Perhaps this Elaine's nature was not bad. She hesitated for a moment and actually agreed to Angel's proposal.

She sat up slightly and lowered her raised feet.

“I come from the Republic of Intis, and my father was a low-income local nobleman. He inherited a lot of wealth, but he was addicted to wine, gambling, and had many mistresses, and he soon went bankrupt.

"In order to repay the debt he owed, I accepted the funding from my family and became a Beyonder. I came to the sea to help them do some shipping business, transporting coal and steel from Tillis to Sevia in Feneport. Then transport the special products there back to Intis. This coastal route is safe and reliable, but the competition is fierce. I don’t know how many years it will take to pay off my father’s debt. I can only try to run the route between the north and south continents, starting from the west. Lang transported some valuable spices and specialties back to the northern continent, but unfortunately he was robbed by pirates before he could get familiar with the waterway.

"The family's ship was robbed, and I was taken away by them. Two days ago, I found an opportunity, jumped off the ship with my sampan in my arms, and escaped from them. I drifted on the sea for two whole days before I met this person. A passenger ship, I climbed up using the rope that was not completely closed."

After wandering at sea for two days, if he were an ordinary person, he would have died in the low temperature at night, or lost the ability to ask for help due to lack of fresh water... Angel looked at the other party's beautiful but haggard face, dry lips and eyelids, He sighed secretly and took out a coin from his pocket.

She wants to divine whether the other person is lying.

Sympathy is sympathy, but the basic procedures still need to be done.

Seeing Angel tossing the coin, Elaine chuckled and asked:

"Soothsayer? You carry a gun and don't panic when you see me. You can't be an intelligence officer of Intis."

"No, I am from Loen."

Looking at the falling coins, Angel confirmed that the other party was not lying, but there might be something to hide.

Of course, it's normal to hide part of your experience from someone you meet for the first time. If Elaine told everything without any scruples, it would make Angel a little suspicious.

Besides, judging from her sneak attack skills with a dagger just now, she might just be a Sequence 8 or 7 Beyonder with a quite simple personality. Maybe she doesn’t have any secrets to dig out...

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. It's your turn to fulfill your promise." After licking her dry mouth, Elaine's words once again contained a hint of threat, "I need to borrow one of your dresses. Then you take me to the dining room. As long as you don't try to escape or call for help, I allow you to sleep on the sofa in the living room at night."

Looking at the one-bedroom suite, Elaine said with a smile.

Okay, I'm sure you are on the "Hunter" path... Angel suppressed the unknown fire that suddenly arose in his heart, and decided to reposition the dignity and status of the two people in this living room before meeting the other party's request. Without seeing any movement from her, the invisible threads that had been laid out all around instantly gathered around Elaine, binding the red-haired lady who had just stood up from the sofa after feeling something.

"you!"

In an instant, only her mouth and eyes could move in Elaine's body. She glared at Angel and blurted out a piece of Intis language with unknown meaning, but you could tell from the tone that it was not a friendly communication word.

The long red dress on her body was tighter with silk threads, and it showed off her moderately firm breasts and slender waist.

boom--

The red dress seemed to be burning from the inside, with pieces of golden flames gushing out. The flames licked the invisible threads around it and burned them with difficulty. The owner of the flames exerted force on his hands, as if he was about to break free.

With a smile on his lips, Angel watched Elaine's useless struggle. More silk threads around her were wrapped in thin ice, and they continued to stretch towards her side to replace those parts that were burned by the flames.

If it were Sequence 6, her silk thread might not be so effective against the "Hunter" who can control flames in Sequence 7, the "Arsonist", but after being promoted to a sequence second only to the demigod, this witch can already Use frost to greatly strengthen the strength of the silk thread, enough to resist the flames ignited by the opponent in a hurry.

"When you reach Sequence 5, you may have the opportunity to burn all these threads."

She mocked in a calm tone, enjoying the look of despair on Elaine's face for a moment, successfully leveraging the slow digestion of the potion in her body.

"No, no..." The red-haired lady closed her eyes tightly, and the flames beside her disappeared as if they were extinguished by sea water. The red dress was not damaged at all, "Tracy? Why are you doing this... No, she can't change. Face, are you her accomplice?"

Tracy?

Angel has heard this name several times today and knows that this pirate general appeared near Bayam yesterday and seemed to be looking for something until he was expelled by the navy. Could it be...

She slightly relaxed the control of the silk thread, allowing Elaine to move her limbs a little, but the latter had given up all struggle and knelt on the ground after losing support. Her eyes opened and her green eyes looked at Angel blankly.

"Why do you suspect that I am Tracy?"

Seeing that the hunter lady gave up her resistance, Angel asked softly. She roughly determined what happened based on the other party's reaction, but she still needed to confirm it.

"I knew how she could really let me go... The woman who taught me how to escape must have arranged it, as did this ship, and so did you. Send me back, but don't expect me to give in..."

Elaine seemed not to hear the question and muttered to herself.

Why did she look so damaged? What happened to Lieutenant General Disease? Angel was speechless and had to take off the "Crazy Ring" on his finger to reveal his true appearance.

"I'm not 'Tracy', and I have nothing to do with her," she explained, looking around and realizing that she had no means to prove her identity. "I'll let you go first, but if you set the house on fire again, Just don’t blame me for being rude.”

She removed the invisible thread and watched as Elaine's eyes gradually returned to clarity, and her expression turned to confusion.

"Are you really not from the Black Death?"

"I am also a Sequence 5. Do you think a ship will have two captains?"

"That's right... I'm sorry, I just ran away several times but was caught by her, so I had a bit of a psychological shadow..."

Angel's explanation based on strength actually convinced Elaine. She got up from the ground and sat back on the sofa with some exhaustion. Her long red hair hung down on her face and shoulders. Her chest kept rising and falling between breaths, which was different from the previous threat. Angel's heroic appearance showed a huge contrast.

"You didn't lie just now, but you concealed a lot of things. Now let's talk about it in detail. Why did 'Vice Admiral Disease' have to take you back to the ship several times?"

After waiting for a moment, after Elaine's breathing stabilized, Angel asked.

This time she had absolute dominance, so she did not use the leading questions just now, but went straight to the point and asked about the key points.

"My family is indeed in Intis, but it is not some low-class nobles, but a member of the former royal family, the Sauron family." As if giving up the fight, Elaine sighed softly and looked at Angel with blank eyes. , adding about his life history, "After my father went bankrupt due to addiction to drinking and sex, the family leaders approached me and promised to pay off my family's debts, provided that I accepted their arrangement and became a 'hunter'."

She raised her right hand lightly, and a bright flame emerged from the tip of her index finger, once again demonstrating her potion path.

　Thanks to the leader of "The Spiritual Di Ruyan" for the reward!
