Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 478 Are you the "world"?

"Generally when I go to sea, I only take two-thirds of the sailors with me and leave one-third behind. Who can follow and earn extra allowances is determined by their usual performance.

"In this way, even if the Blue Avengers don't need sailors, they will work hard to express themselves, such as cleaning up the ship, going to bed on time instead of singing at midnight or playing cards all night. There are even sailors who approach me when they go ashore and ask me to Go to the 'Red Theater' or something like that."

Alger leaned on the railing of the bow, looked at the water that was split by the sharp bow and rushed past both sides, and whispered.

"did you go?"

Klein's face was expressionless, he looked at the empty deck and asked casually.

The night before yesterday, Angel had inexplicable emotions and used "joy" to arouse his lust. He even provoked him when he studied the ancient Fusac language and the history of the Fourth Age every day, and also worried about the "ghost ship". The peeps made him an excuse to sleep in separate rooms every night, which made him uninterested in everything until now.

"I..." Unexpectedly, this was what the other party cared about. Alger almost lost his expression, "...I want to get along with my subordinates. If I am too aloof, they will think that I am not gregarious and they will secretly report me to the church."

"That's it."

"Yes……"

Alger subconsciously looked away and replied, then he remembered that no matter whether he was a pirate or a storm believer, he didn't need to be ashamed of going to that kind of place, and turned his face again.

"Just like that."

"Like the night before on the pristine island?"

"Of course not. I want to talk to you about the transaction at the tarot meeting later, Mr. World."

"So, we can try to form an alliance, a loose but binding alliance." Seeing that he did not deny or be angry, Alger breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course, this is not to challenge the Tarot Society and Mr. Fool. The disadvantage is that we can share resources privately and help each other. I own this ghost ship, the information channel within the Church of Storms, and you... can even get the 'Creep Hunger' given by Mr. Fool..."

As expected of the "think tank" of the Tarot Society, the "Hanged Man" who often advises "The Sun" and "Justice" actually analyzed my identity from these details. Of course, I only focused on hiding Angel and did not pay attention to him. Also, having contact with him in Byam and accidentally exposing the battles he had participated in were also important reasons... Klein sighed inwardly and asked expressionlessly:

"so?"

Having said this, he glanced at Klein's left hand with some envy, indicating that the other party could contact the other favored ones of "The Fool".

He put these experiences into the playing rules of the "Faceless Man", his expression and eyes returned to calmness, and the dangerous aura exuded by the "Creeping Hunger" gradually disappeared.

With a smile on his face, Klein asked.

"This is somewhat similar to the way I lost control due to being confused about my identity when I first arrived at sea. Fortunately, I found it early, otherwise Angel may not be able to bring me back if I lose control again... Playing the same identity for a long time can easily lead to confusion. In the future, I must Pay attention to this!"

Alger responded quickly.

"...In the end, Miss Queen's fighting power will become our most powerful guarantee... By the way, you know she is Miss Queen, right."

I really want to say "I know now" and leave you to Angel, but then she will know that I am "The World"... Klein suppressed the urge to act as "Gelman" and act without thinking, nodded.

"reason?"

He successfully saw a hint of movement on Klein's face. Although the latter kept his expression unchanged due to the ability of the "Faceless Man", the surprise, confusion and even a trace of murderous intent in his eyes could not be hidden. His left hand The black gloves he wore even gave off an aura that made Alger tremble a little. It looked like a wolf that had been starving for a week, looking at him with bright eyes.

The moment he knew he was exposed, various plans including murder and silence did flash through Klein's mind, but he quickly realized that this was a sign of being too deep into the role of "crazy adventurer" Herman. I have been unknowingly affected by the deliberately cold and crazy persona.

What were I thinking, and why were I chatting with him on the deck in the sea breeze... Alger almost wanted to turn around and leave, but thinking of the other person's possible expression next, a smile appeared on his face and he kept his voice to a minimum, said:

"Did you call me here just to confess this?"

Alger finished explaining in one breath, with a determined smile on his face, which made his weathered and rough face become a little rounder.

"Your gloves are 'Creeping Hunger'. You used the above ability at the scene where 'Iron' Maiviti was ambushed, and later when the 'Poseidon' believers and the rebels attacked Bayam, and 'World' The extraordinary properties sold in the Tarot Club are all derived from this magical item. Finally, your performance in yesterday's battle was too conservative, completely different from that in Bayam, although I don't know how you made the 'Creeping Hunger' 'No longer hungry, but you must be worried about its negative effects, so you didn't use it on the isolated island, right?"

The reason why he invited "The World" alone on the deck to reveal each other's identity was because the primitive island was rich in resources, and all kinds of extraordinary creatures that were difficult to find in the outside world gathered together strangely, and the location was only known to the three of them. It is simply an inexhaustible treasure trove.

Although this is weaker than the power and channels behind "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya, it is much stronger than fighting alone. This can preserve his status in the Tarot Club and avoid being marginalized due to duplicate identities. destiny.

In order to protect this property, he must win over other members and form an alliance. Just like me and Qilingos back then... He recalled gloomily, suddenly thought of something, and asked:

"Miss 'Queen' doesn't know you are 'The World' yet?"

The other party's cold eyes quickly made him react:

"I understand, just leave it to you and her to explain."

I don’t even know how to explain it. If I had known she would have taken the initiative to admit it when she revealed my identity as a follower of the Fool, but now that it has been delayed for too long, it has become more and more difficult... The corners of Klein’s mouth twitched and his eyes moved into the distance. On the sea surface, a row of sails appeared near the horizon.

"That's..." Alger followed his gaze and soon noticed something strange. He squinted his eyes to check, "It shouldn't be a merchant ship. I deliberately stayed away from busy shipping routes."

Before he could make any move, the horn hanging at the stern of the ship emitted a low buzzing sound, which instantly spread throughout all cabins. Soon, the sailors gathered on the deck, and someone handed him a delicate monocular telescope. Jay took it, pulled it away, pointed it at the fleet in the distance, and observed it carefully.

"what happened?"

Angel also heard the warning sound, came up from the cabin below, approached Klein and asked.

Klein, who had just revealed his identity, looked away with some guilt and whispered:

"An unidentified fleet was spotted in the distance..."

"It's Lieutenant General Dusk Bulatov Ivan."

Alger said after putting down his telescope, causing the sailors on the deck to exclaim.

Although this pirate general's reputation is not as bad as the others, especially "Admiral of Hell" and "Admiral of Blood", as one of the seven pirate generals, his name is undoubtedly the favorite of every sailor and adventurer. Nightmare, once he chooses it as a target, will be chased by the fast battleships in the fleet, and then surrounded by all sides, he will be captured obediently.

Fortunately, he is not bloodthirsty and mainly focuses on robbing property, and his targets are always merchant ships flying the Loen flag. Therefore, under the premise that the size of the fleet is no less than that of "Blood Admiral" Senior, the bounty is But only two-thirds of the opponent's.

"'Lieutenant Admiral Dusk' with a bounty of 28000 pounds..."

After discovering that he had almost fallen into the "crazy adventurer" persona and couldn't extricate himself, Klein quickly adjusted his mentality. At this time, he no longer worried about the role, and subconsciously blurted out the other party's bounty, but now he was above the sea, " "Lieutenant General Dusk" Even if the bounty is as high as 28, he can't do anything to the other party.

And after facing "Vice Admiral Disease" Tracy and the "ageless" witch Katarina behind her, Klein knew that every pirate general who could gain a foothold on the sea was not as easy to deal with as it seemed on the surface.

Otherwise, high-sequence Extraordinaries who are short of money would have come to the sea to fish for a few with high bounties to fill the gap in their wallets.

"Will he attack us?" Angel also squinted his eyes and looked at the fleet in the distance and asked.

"Bulatov generally does not attack pirate ships, but after he and the 'Blood Admiral' each destroyed two ships in the southern waters of Sunya Island a few months ago, this cannot be guaranteed." Alger He replied, "Fortunately, my boat is faster than theirs and I can take the initiative to avoid them."

Following his words, the huge sail of the "Blue Avenger" readjusted its angle, and the hull quickly turned, drawing an arc on the sea, avoiding the distant fleet.

"Vice Admiral Dusk" in the distance also discovered the ghost ship flying the skull pirate flag. Two fast warships with slender hulls that were obviously faster than other ships raised their sails and tried to pursue along the interception route, but it didn't take long. He discovered the speed difference between the two sides and turned the ship back.

"If it were any other pirate general, even if he wanted to vent his anger, he would have let the forwards chase for two more hours, but Bulatov would not. They are highly disciplined and their actions are purposeful. In the battle with the 'Blood Admiral', although Both sides suffered similar losses, but Señor lost two main battleships, while he only lost his two oldest ships.”

Staring at the fleet in the distance until they disappeared under the sea level, Alger breathed a sigh of relief, waved away the sailors watching the show, and said to Angel and Klein.

More like a navy than a pirate group... Angel commented in his mind.

"So, their presence here should have some purpose?"

Watching 28000 pounds wave away from him, Klein suddenly spoke.

"Maybe they were ordered to intercept some ships. Haha, it is rumored that behind 'Vice Admiral Dusk' is actually the Fusac Empire and the Church of God of War, so they often do things that ordinary pirates cannot understand. They may even cross the Raging Sea and head south. Mainland run..."

Alger drew the destination of the other party in his mind based on the direction of the fleet's departure and the sea map. He found that it pointed to the depths of the violent sea and answered casually. However, when he looked in the direction from which he came, he frowned.

"However, the direction they are coming from seems to be Hakata Port...that is your destination?"
