Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 487 Queen Anne's Revenge

It turns out that the narrow room and wooden corridor just now are all part of this ship?

Angel looked around. There was no one on the "Ghost Ship", which was nearly a hundred meters long and at least two or three levels larger than the "Blue Avenger". The cables and cannons on the deck were randomly placed. Like an abandoned stranded ship.

From her point of view, she could only see the masts, deck superstructures, and the black sails without any markings painted in pure black. She guessed that the entire ship was of the same color, suspended in the spiritual world, like the god of death. car.

"Is this a ghost ship that can sail in the spirit world?"

Looking at Annie standing quietly beside him, Angel asked.

"Yes, it is a ghost ship built by the Trunsoest Empire in the Fourth Age. It has a history of two thousand years ago."

Two thousand years... As long as the "Blue Avenger" has a long history, only the ghost ship can do this. Ordinary ships, even if they only last one-tenth of the time, have long been decayed and damaged.

"Since the hull of the ship has been destroyed in reality, it can only exist in the spiritual world now, but you must be able to feel that this ship is still 'alive'."

Gently stroking the main mast in the center, Anne's golden eyes flashed with inexplicable emotions.

"So, you actually want me to use the 'Disaster' spell to destroy this ghost ship?"

For a moment, Angel wanted to say, "You can give me the ship you don't want," but considering the opponent's identity as a high-sequence extraordinary, she finally held back. She took out the last "disaster" from her pocket and held it between her fingers. He looked at Anne who looked expectant.

So try to delay as much as possible!

"The hull was destroyed...are you referring to the ship that ran aground next to the island a few days ago? Is that what 'Vice Admiral Dusk' destroyed?"

"Heh, 'Vice Admiral Dusk', now that he has pulled a few broken boats, he is not even a high-sequence man, can he still call himself a general?"

Annie said softly as she looked away from the outside.

"To be precise, it is its body in the spiritual world. It just so happens that the 'Vice Admiral Dusk' destroyed its real part. As long as we deal with the ship under our feet, it will be completely 'dead'."

In the spirit world, Annie seemed to feel very "safe", so she did not refuse Angel's request, which was obviously stalling for time. She walked barefoot on the rough deck, came to the side of the ship, and looked down at the seemingly endless spiritual mist.

Angel raised his eyebrows and wrote down the word without interrupting the other person's narration.

"As a 'ghost ship' that can travel through the spirit world, it was formed in separate formations to attack the opponent's supply lines, harass ports, and made countless military exploits for the Tudor-Trunsoest United Empire."

"Yes, it was the part of the ship that was in reality that they destroyed, but an attack of this magnitude will not damage the ghost ship, and it will be restored to its original state within a few days if necessary."

Doing this kind of death-seeking thing is enough once, not to mention that Klein has most likely been "exiled" to a distant place, so she doesn't need to attract the other party's attention like this.

At this moment, she was extremely looking forward to Mr. Azik descending from the sky and snatching her away from the spirit world. Of course, it would be better if he could take this ghost ship away by the way.

I'm afraid this is a bit of a waste of resources. This is a ghost ship with a history of more than 2,000 years, and it is much larger than the "Blue Avenger" I am interested in!

Angel immediately recalled the fragments under the cliff.

Angel followed her, hesitating several times whether to put the "disaster" on the "arbitrator" whose back looked a bit like a girl, and tried again to kill her, but did not take action.

"It was built by the Trunsoest Empire two thousand years ago. At that time, the flagship of each imperial fleet was what is now called a 'ghost ship'. Some had so much firepower that demigods had to avoid their sharp edges, and some Some can withstand the attack of the entire fleet without being damaged, and some can span the entire battlefield in an instant and appear in the enemy's weak rear..."

Recovering after being attacked is very similar to the situation when I used the "disaster" spell to attack Annie just now... Angel thought, his eyes moved across the surrounding "ghost ships" and stayed on Annie.

United Empire...Aren't Tudor and Trunsoest the Northern Continent Empire in different eras? Do they exist at the same time and even govern together?

"After using the spell just now, my spirituality has not yet recovered. I need to wait for a while. Why don't you tell me more about the history of this ghost ship?"

First she made a few sharp comments with disdain, and then Anne nodded and replied:

"It wasn't until after the War of the Four Emperors that the 'Night Emperor' fell. The four nobles of the empire, Augustus, Castile, Einhorn and Sauron, divided up the empire's heritage and established these fifth era The country, and this ghost ship, also changed its flag several times among them and continued to exist as a battleship.

"In the end, after a certain war, it was almost destroyed, lost its captain and all crew members, and drifted into the depths of the Raging Sea, until the outside world ended the Fourth Age and entered the Fifth Age. The war ended and peace came."

If I hadn't been studying the history of the Fourth Age recently, I really wouldn't be able to keep up with these contents... Angel listened to Annie's story with some difficulty, trying to remember the key parts. "It's been stranded here ever since, to this day?"

Although the ghost ship can repair itself and prevent it from rotting in the sea water, the fact that a ship has been stranded on an isolated island for thousands of years is still beyond Angel's imagination.

"No, Emperor Russell discovered it more than a hundred years ago."

Annie shook her head, the black hair on the back of her head fluttering, making her serious face look a little cute.

"The ghost ship that returned to the civilized world became the flagship of a certain expedition fleet. It explored a safe route in the mysterious and violent sea, started the colonial era of the Southern Continent, and even conducted several battles with other countries there. The large-scale naval battle almost reproduced its style in the Fourth Age.

"Until...in his later years, the Emperor personally expelled it from Intis's fleet system and ordered the empty ship to return to the depths of the sea, hide itself, and not allow it to sink until he 'returned'.

"So, this ancient ghost ship sailed alone near the Raging Sea, avoiding the increasingly dense waterways and more and more ships, and even hid directly in the spirit world until now."

Speaking of this, Anne's golden eyes welled up with a hint of sadness, as if she was feeling sorry for the fate of the ghost ship under her feet that had gone through several dynasties and was finally alone.

"So, what is the name of this ghost ship?"

Angel took over and asked, but she already had a guess in her heart.

"In different eras, it has had many names, The Balancer, Imperial Glory, Black Death..."

As she spoke, Annie moved her spotless bare feet, returned to the center of the deck, opened her hands, lifted up her skirt and saluted Angel as if to introduce herself.

"But one hundred and fifty-six years ago, in the name of His Majesty Russell Gustav, it was assigned as the flagship of the Intis Imperial Expeditionary Force guerrilla fleet and named, Queen Anne's Revenge."

really……

Looking at the pitch-black sail and Anne with flying black hair below, Angel confirmed his guess.

This "arbiter", this young woman who calls herself Anne, this mysterious person who died on the spot due to "disaster" but was resurrected instantly...

It’s the “ghost ship” itself.

"So, you're the ship?"

Angel confirmed cautiously.

After the excitement of self-introduction passed, Anne, in a light yellow dress and bare feet, returned to her previous calmness. She nodded and replied:

"Yes, I am the consciousness of the 'Queen Anne's Revenge' itself, not a living extraordinary person. Of course, near the location of this ghost ship in the spiritual world, the 'I' in reality can also Use its extraordinary abilities, which are provided by the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Arbiter'. It is sealed inside the ship in a special way and becomes the source of the ghost ship's power.

"In my mind, I also have all the memories since this ship was built... I remember the huge armada of the Tudor-Trunsoest United Empire that almost covered the sea; I remember the Battle of the Four Emperors on the Sea of ​​Time. The large-scale naval battle that broke out in the fifth era was absolutely unimaginable; remember the hull numbers of all the ghost ships that sank in the Pale Catastrophe, and the lamentation and sadness when they died; remember wandering among countless pirates for thousands of years, The discord of changing hands many times, being traded and robbed as goods... and the joy of being discovered by Emperor Russell, renamed, and returned to civilized society."

At some point, the eyes of the girl in front of Angel were slightly red, and a drop of tear flowed from her golden eyes across her beautiful cheek. Before it fell on the deck, it disappeared into the void.

Girl—maybe it’s wrong to call her that, but at this moment, this woman who is over two thousand years old and possesses powerful extraordinary power is like a girl who is confused about her destiny in Angel’s eyes.

"But now, I just want to end this eternal life. Under Russell's order, the Queen Anne's Revenge cannot end itself, and it is not allowed to actively seek dangerous situations and seek death. Until recently, I found a way Ways to bypass restrictions…”

After calming down a bit, Annie continued.

"You mean like this now?" Angel asked.

"Yes, this is what I have said many times before. Please attack me with all your strength and attack this 'Queen Anne's Revenge'."

Backed by a huge mast with a history of more than 2,000 years, painted in the black color respected by the United Empire, and still as clean as new, this lady took on the identity of "Anne" and bypassed the great Emperor Russell who was once her captain. With the order, the girl who asked Angel for help stretched out her right hand. Her white arm looked a little desolate in the light of the spiritual world.

"Please, kill me, kill this ghost ship whose heart has been left in the past and does not want to continue sailing."
