Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 489 Contract and Divine Blood

This ray of light fell on Angel, and she couldn't help but take two steps back, unwilling and unable to disturb this sacred scene that seemed to be formulating laws.

When the ancient Fusak words appeared one after another, the aura of majesty that emerged made her almost kneel down to worship.

Angel knew that this was not something Annie did deliberately, but a trace of power that overflowed when she drafted the "contract." However, this tiny bit of power made it impossible for a Sequence 5 Beyonder to even look directly at it.

Anne, or "Queen Anne's Revenge", is it really just sequence 4?

Doubts began to form in her mind.

The light faded, and several lines of gilded text that looked like substance were fixed in the air in front of Anne, listing several contract terms.

Within five years, Angel will serve as the temporary command of the "Queen Anne's Revenge" and receive help from this ghost ship that does not exceed its capabilities. Angel will not use this authority to let it involve dangers that can endanger its own existence. Likewise, Angel , Annie and the ghost ship cannot deliberately act adversely against Angel.

As a corresponding obligation, Angel needs to try his best to improve his sequence. During the five-year period, once she is promoted to the sequence, she must return to the "Queen Anne's Revenge" and try to use the "Disaster" spell with maximum power once, at a time specified by Anne. Once the ship is successfully destroyed, Angel will receive the spell. The "Judgment" card, as well as the remaining extraordinary properties.

Other detailed clauses stipulate that both parties shall not disclose the contents of the agreement to a third party at will, and that the contract will be automatically terminated if one party dies.

Finally, Anne added an additional clause: During the contract period, Angel needed to help her find Russell's eldest daughter "Bernadette".

She was keen and discovered a problem in the terms: the time for using "disaster" after promotion was specified by Anne, which meant that she could ask to postpone or even give up the "self-destructive" behavior.

Of course, the terms are not purely beneficial to the other party. "Automatic termination of the contract upon death" is an escape plan left for Angel without Anne's knowledge.

Angel also felt relieved. For at least five years, the "arbitrator" would not be able to attack him easily, and the two even formed a relationship similar to allies.

"The contract is complete."

Angel scratched his fingertips with his nails, and a drop of bright red blood floated up with invisible power. It approached the lines of ancient Fusac and Rune characters and was absorbed by the golden text. Then, she appeared in the lower right corner. Name: Angel Granger.

The latter answered softly, and his face once again regained the indifferent smile he had when they first met. He no longer sought death excitedly, nor did he become sad in memory.

After both parties signed, the words glowed even brighter than before, quickly condensing together into a brilliance as bright as the sun, illuminating the ghost ship in the spiritual world and the two people on the deck.

"One drop of blood is enough."

It's not Angelica... Angel looked at the location of another signature, where the names of Anne and "Queen Anne's Revenge" appeared at the same time, which meant that both she and the ship needed to abide by the contract.

"How do I sign the contract?"

After all, resurrection from the dead is still too rare.

After double-checking, Angel breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Anne behind the shining golden text.

Angel, who was well aware of the dangers of the "Devil's Contract", read these clauses over and over again, and even asked Anne to write them again in the Rune language she was most familiar with, forming a bilingual document to ensure that there were no obvious loopholes in the contract or any harm to herself. Unfavorable Terms.

The girl in front of her was also shrouded in the same brilliance, which made her originally golden eyes shine even more brightly and the expression on her face became relaxed.

In the light, Angel felt layers of indescribable but powerfully binding restrictions appearing in his body. At the same time, he formed a solid connection with the girl in front of him and the ghost ship at his feet.

"Why not the captain, but the temporary commander? Are you still..."

Before this, she had only had a similar feeling when she swore an oath with the power of a holy object under the witness of Her Excellency "Sword of the Goddess" Sesima, but compared with that kind of secret and invisible connection, this time " The power of "contract" is more powerful and public.

She was interrupted by Annie before she finished speaking.

"Just know it in your heart, no need to say it out loud." The incarnation of the ghost ship looked a little weird, but quickly returned to normal, "Do you want to take a look inside my body?"

She murmured, as if trying to convince herself.

Although she couldn't openly disobey Emperor Russell's order, after learning that Bernadette was still alive, her desire to seek death had been shaken... Angel suppressed a smile and secretly glanced at Anne, who was standing still.

I always feel that she has become a bit weird under the influence of Emperor Russell, and she doesn't even have the reserve of ordinary women. Well, it seems that I am not qualified to say anything about her. After all, she is just a boat, and I am...

Angel muttered to himself, and was about to agree, when he suddenly noticed that Annie's expression became serious and she looked towards the side of the ship.

The artillery placed randomly on the deck seemed to have come alive. They quickly gathered next to the side of the ship, entered the gun mount, fixed themselves, held the gun barrel high, and pointed it into the air.

Where they were aiming, among the layers of color blocks and gray mist in the spiritual world, a black shadow quickly floated towards them.

After seeing the person clearly, Angel immediately shouted:

"Stop attacking, that's someone I know!"

At this time, Annie had squinted her eyes to look at the figure high up, raising one hand as if to take aim, but after hearing Angel's instructions, she frowned and lowered her arm.

The figure quickly approached. Mr. Azik, who was wearing a shirt, trousers, bronze skin, and no top hat, put one hand on the shoulder of Klein, who was all wet. The other hand had turned into nothingness. In it, the aura of death and destruction surged crazily. move.

His brown eyes looked directly at the girl on the deck, who raised her head, her white neck exposed, and her golden pupils shone with strange colors.

"Death Archon!"

A sharp cry came from her mouth, mixed with an emotion that had never appeared in her conversation with Angel: anger.

"I didn't expect to see you after the Pale Disaster. The Balam Empire has been destroyed, and the God of Death you believed in has also fallen. This violent ocean is his burial place. This is the consequence of provoking a war!" Looking at it! Azik and Klein were floating above the deck with dazed expressions on their faces. Feeling the rising anger in Anne next to him, Angel felt something bad inside.

We won't encounter the situation on the "Black Death" where Catalina knew Azik, but Azik didn't remember anything... And according to the time when the "Queen Anne's Revenge" was built, it should He has survived the "Pale Disaster", and there is a high probability that he participated in the war against the Death Army as a member of the Northern Continent, and even had a fight with Mr. Azik...

"Wait, Annie, stop attacking, this is an order!"

She realized that Anne would attack without hesitation when she saw her enemy and immediately spoke to stop him.

"He has lost his memory of the Fourth Age and does not pose a threat to you."

Thinking of the terms of the contract he just signed, Angel added.

Anne, who had black hair and was almost off the ground with her bare feet, had a cold face and did not answer, but all the artillery on the deck aimed at the sky did not fire.

Azik, who was being targeted, also made no movement. Klein, who was floating next to him, seemed to have understood the current situation. His eyes looking at Angel no longer looked anxious, only tenderness remained.

After a long stalemate, Azik spoke:

"I'm sorry, I have almost no memory of the 'Pale Catastrophe', but I still remember you, or to be precise, I remember this ship, the 'Black Death'. I didn't expect that you, like me, an old antique, have survived to this day. "

His disembodied right hand returned to its normal form.

Has Mr. Azik seen Anne’s true nature? Fortunately, he admitted that he had no specific memory of that time, otherwise I don't know if a contract could restrain Anne who wanted revenge... Angel carefully looked at the girl next to him, and saw that the other girl still had a straight face and looked up to the sky.

Slowly, the artillery on the deck lowered its head and no longer pointed at the "Death Archon" in the sky.

……

"So, this ghost ship now belongs to you?"

Klein asked quietly as he looked at Annie, who was standing on the side of the ship angrily not far away, looking at the endless spiritual world outside the ship.

"That's it for the time being, and we are in a cooperative relationship, not subordinate. She actually belongs to the dead Emperor Russell... By the way, no matter how low we sound on the ship, she should be able to hear it." Angel did not imitate him. Lower your voice.

"Emperor Russell... No wonder this ship has such a strange name. This is indeed something he can do."

"Yeah, I also think this name is very similar to the name of a... well, not so much a battleship."

Both of them quietly looked away, not daring to look at each other.

"In the Fourth Age, the 'Black Death' was a very famous battleship. Even the spirit world creatures have heard of its name. Look, no spirit world creatures dare to appear nearby."

Azik on the side interjected.

"I won't call you that unlucky name anymore!"

Annie's still somewhat indignant voice came from the distance, making the three of them look stiff.

It seems that she still has resentment towards the God of Death and Mr. Azik, the "Death Archon"... Angel glanced at Anne who turned her head again and suggested:

"We'd better leave first. This ship shouldn't be able to stop us."

With Mr. Azik around, it was unlikely that the plan to visit the ship would go ahead. Seeing Annie who might explode emotionally at any time, Angel made a decisive decision to leave the spirit world immediately.

"and many more!"

Annie, who seemed to have looked away, said again, running across half the deck with smooth feet, and came to Angel. The behavior that was quite inconsistent with the identity of the "Black Death" made both Azik and Angel suppress their mouths. Only Klein remained calm through the control of the "Faceless Man".

Ignoring the expressions of several people, Anne stretched out her right hand, and a drop of golden blood quickly oozed from the tip of her index finger, floating in the air.

There seemed to be countless brilliance flashing through the blood. Just looking at it made Angel feel dizzy. He just wanted to give up thinking and worship.

"It has been preliminarily sealed. Use your method of sealing extraordinary materials and characteristics to further seal it. This will allow me to locate you at any time, and in turn you will be able to contact me. If you are in danger, you can ask me for help through it. I need to reconnect with the real world hull here and won’t be leaving anytime soon.”

Anne said calmly, and then immediately turned her head away from the three of them, especially Mr. Azik.

Fortunately, I prepared a lot of containers before coming to the desert island, otherwise I wouldn't be able to hold it... Angel quickly took out a metal bottle, put the drop of golden blood in it, and built a simple spiritual wall to completely isolate it from the outside world. .

The next second, she felt the air beneath her feet. The "Queen Anne's Revenge" sank so fast that the three people above were floating in the air. Mr. Azik immediately put one hand on one person's shoulder and pulled him down. She and Klein were by her side.

Below the three of them, the dark ghost ship quickly disappeared into the layers of color blocks, turning into an invisible black and disappearing from the sight of the three.

"Let's go, I'll take you back to Bayam first."

After a moment of silence, Mr. Azik said, carrying Angel and Klein and flying in another direction.
