Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 482 Clues to the Ghost Ship

She has been coveting this for a long time. Ever since she boarded the "Blue Avenger" and saw the magic of the ghost ship that does not require a living person to operate, she has completely spent 2000 pounds on the "red-haired girl" Forgot.

What kind of ship can you compare to a ghost ship that can be controlled by just one captain and has a maximum speed of more than 25 knots?

If the Hanged Man was not a member of the Tarot Society, if he was just a pirate who did all kinds of evil... Every night, Angel would even have thoughts in her heart that she was ashamed to face.

Now that the information about the "Gazeer" has been solved, and Klein once again put on an expression that said, "I'll leave it all to you tonight," Angel naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity.

"Compared to the death ship that lost its crew for various reasons, floated alone on the sea, and was mistaken for a ghost ship, I think what you are asking about is the real 'ghost ship' built in the Fourth Age."

Arrodes' ticker clicked and used the firing pin to write on the illusory white paper.

"They are all warships made using lost construction methods and sealing specific extraordinary characteristics into the hull. They can respond to the orders of the captain or designated controller, raise sails, move forward and even fight on their own. Even if they are damaged, they will gradually repair themselves. . Depending on the sealed extraordinary characteristics, they can display different combat methods like extraordinary people. Of course, a small number of them have their own thinking and may even do things contrary to orders.

"There is a powerful ghost ship near you. It comes from the Fourth Age where the gods walk the world and extraordinary powers are abused wantonly. It is waiting for your driving.

"Of course, it's up to you whether to accept its services or not."

Angel felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.

"It's really...a peculiar sealed object."

"It's my turn to ask questions, okay?"

Although she guessed that Arrodes would not ask embarrassing questions that would touch the dark side of people's hearts, she still took a deep breath and prepared herself.

This ghost ship with its own mind must have living sailors keeping watch, otherwise it will most likely raise its sails and escape from the dock as quickly as possible.

"Thank you for your answer."

After Angel came to his senses, the ticker carefully spat out a few words.

Thinking of what happened that day and the "accident" that confirmed Angel's feelings for him, Klein cautiously glanced at Angel beside him and was surprised to find that the other person was also secretly looking at him.

Klein looked at the ticker by the window and said softly.

Compared with the "Happy" Witch period, Angel's allure derived from her extraordinary abilities, appearance, and movements has now been restrained, but when she is alone, she will deliberately show it out, achieving effects far beyond those before.

"The breath is about to dissipate, and the two loyal servants Arrods are waiting to offer their knowledge and power again..."

I didn't know how to describe it. After a long silence, Angel finally spoke.

The ticker finally spit out two lines of words, and then there was no movement.

She also remembered what happened that day... Klein immediately confirmed this.

This sealed object with its own thoughts once again made the two of them feel the limits of humility and flattery.

"can."

Then comes...

It had been secretly spying on me and Klein before. It couldn't have completely succumbed just because I threatened it with the "Disaster" spell, and even wanted to defect from the Church of Storms, just like this Arrods... She thought about it, feeling a little hopeful in her heart.

Is Arrods referring to Alger's "Blue Avenger" from "The Hanged Man"?

Angel couldn't help but tilted his head and looked out the window. On the pier in the distance, the towering mast of the "Blue Avenger" was faintly visible.

"From the first time we came into contact with it, it has had a different attitude towards us than the 'Mechanical Heart'. At least so far, it is harmless to us and has even provided a lot of help."

And when we were on "Blue Avenger", she kept teasing me...

He suddenly remembered the first time the two met "Arrods", which was the day they had just driven away the "Apostle of Desire" at the home of Essinger Stanton in Backlund.

Thinking with some indignation, Klein suddenly turned into "Gehrman" as if he had detached himself. His face darkened, he suddenly put his arms around Angel, leaned into her ear, and whispered softly:

"That day, I actually heard it outside the door..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw with satisfaction that Angel's amethyst-like eyes widened and his moist lips were slightly opened.

"W-what day?"

She denied awkwardly, but her crimson cheeks said it all.

Klein, who had been holding it in for many days on the boat, could no longer bear it. He picked her up and walked to the bedroom.

Anyway, "Blue Avenger" won't leave until tomorrow...

Angel was struggling with her hands and feet in his arms, trying to escape from the restraint, but her physical strength and close combat skills were far superior to her opponent's, and her pushing and kicking at the moment seemed so weak.

It was like a caress for Klein.

"boom--"

The door was closed, leaving only the radio transceiver standing quietly in the moonlight.

Da da da.

The firing pin struck gently, and the illusory white paper used to answer the question spit out part of it. On it was a small portrait of a tearful, waving hand, but with a smile on his face.

Whoosh, as if worried about being discovered, the piece of paper was sucked back into the machine.

----

Early the next morning, after loading up on water and fresh food, and rejoining the sailors who returned home satisfied after eating, drinking, and having fun, the "Blue Avenger" raised its sails, left Hakata Port, and headed southwest at full speed.

Angel, who had not returned home all night, provided a clear and accurate map to "The Hanged Man" Alger. According to the latter's judgment, the ghost ship would arrive at the unnamed island in the afternoon, and then Angel and Klein would leave the team to search for "The Gazer." "Trace, according to the agreement, Alger and his sailors do not have to, and do not dare to participate in it.

That's an extraordinary creature that can provide Sequence 4 potion materials, so I won't join in the fun... Alger thought and looked at "The World" who looked indifferent but obviously a little tired. The two of them went out and stayed away all night...

He thought he had understood the truth of the matter. When he saw the "Queen" carrying her luggage and getting out of the cabin first, she slowly walked forward and said:

"I know a pharmacist who can help you. When you return to Bayam, you can go to the herbal shop in the alley diagonally opposite the Red Theater to find him.

"I also heard from sailors, but they all said it was very effective."

Worried that the other party would misunderstand that he knew this, Alger added.

After a brief pause, Klein understood what the Hanged Man meant.

I will definitely set a fire next time, and no one can stop me... He took a deep breath, forced out a sneer, and barely maintained his "Gehrman" persona.

"unnecessary."

----

The sails were fully opened, and the "Blue Avenger" moved forward using the lateral sea breeze at an extremely precise angle. Those ships behind who watched it sail into unknown waters and tried to catch up to see what was going on were quickly overwhelmed by its unparalleled speed. Shake it off, turn around and leave helplessly.

With the precise position, the ghost ship arrived at the target location before dusk, when the sun was still setting to the southwest, the island where the "Gazeer" was said to be wandering.

Angel held the monocular he borrowed from Alger and brought it close to his eyes, looking at the island in the distance whose coastline was still hidden under the water antenna.

"There is a mountain peak in the north and south, with a long and narrow valley in the middle. Although I can't see the coast, it should be the one I'm looking for. But I didn't see the stranded ship. Maybe it has been rescued."

She said to Klein and handed the telescope to him.

"The wind is pointing in that direction now, and we can reach it in about an hour." Alger squinted his eyes and looked over there, observing the target with the outstanding vision of a "navigator." "You will spend the night on the boat first, and the next day Do you want to explore again, or start as soon as you arrive?”

It is now around four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sunlight will become dim in two hours at most, making it unsuitable for exploring unfamiliar places. Angel originally wanted to answer that we will leave tomorrow, but he remembered Arrods's reminder and was worried about the "Gazeer" He quickly changed his place of residence due to some kind of fright, and after a moment of silence he replied:

"I'll make a decision when I get there."

She winked with Klein, and the two got into the cabin and returned to their room.

"I'm going to try summoning the black cat messenger first and try the method Arrodes said. If Ms. Windsor gives a positive response, we will set off at dusk and find the 'Gazeer' as soon as possible. If it refuses to help, We will make all preparations and land on the island tomorrow morning."

After she told Klein her concerns, she said while placing candles and setting up an altar.

"I have also contracted a messenger who can communicate. If you refuse, you can try my one."

With a smile on his lips, Klein leaned against the wall and watched Angel arrange the altar.

"Ms. Wensa is very powerful. I suspect that when she was alive... well, maybe she can be called alive now... she was a mid-sequence Beyonder, not even worse than me now."

After building a spiritual wall that includes Klein, Angel said, he rubbed the spiritual fire, lit the candle, and began to recite the summoning spell.

"...a messenger unique to Angelica Sage."

"..."

It was extremely quiet inside the spiritual wall, and the candlelight burned steadily. The two of them stared at each other with confusion on each other's faces.

Ms. Wensa is not even willing to respond?

"Haha, it looks like I still have to do it!"

As soon as Gehrman chuckled and stepped forward, he was stabbed by Angel. His abdominal muscles twitched for a while before they calmed down.

He waited for Angel to extinguish the candles and after finishing the ceremony, he directly used the existing altar and recited the incantation to summon the messenger.

Since they were all looking for messengers to sign contracts under the guidance of Mr. Azik, Klein's messenger summoning spell was almost the same as Angel's, except that the last name was changed to "Gehrman Sparrow".

After reciting the mantra, the room was also extremely quiet.

"Shall we land on the island tomorrow morning?"

After a long silence, Angel said hesitantly.

……

Above the deck, Alger Wilson watched with sweat on his forehead as the sails continued to dance overhead, seemingly driven by cables pulled randomly by dozens of frantic sailors.

I don’t know what happened to this ghost ship. It has undergone unknown changes since a few minutes ago. Although it barely maintained its course and speed towards the unknown island, it was quite reluctant. If it hadn’t been for the captain who had been giving orders in his heart. It cannot refuse the order. I am afraid that it will immediately turn the ship around and get as far away from the destination as possible.

"Is it afraid of that island? No, we have been following the route without changing, and I have also raised the defense level to the highest level... Could it be another messenger running towards my ship?"

Alger murmured, looking down in the direction of the room where the two Tarot Club members were, and an idea that even he thought was impossible came to his mind.

"Woo, woo——"

The whistling sound of the sea wind blowing through the canvas was heard, and the "Blue Avenger" seemed to give up resistance, and the sail quickly stabilized.

……

In the room, Angel and Klein were about to clean up the altar and remove the spiritual wall. Suddenly, there was a gust of wind, and the flame of the extinguished candle exploded.

A humanoid figure slowly emerged from the flames. She was wearing a complicated black dress, with a neat cut on her neck, and she was holding two heads with long golden hair in each hand.

At this time, a head in her right hand was biting a ball of black fur. Below it was a big black cat that was bitten on the back but spread its teeth and claws and was pinching the cheek of another head. The two heads in her left hand were also He stepped forward, his scarlet eyes staring closely at the black cat, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

Under the stunned gazes of the two people, the two couriers who were fighting suddenly stopped moving.
