Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 496 Meeting on Olavi Island

"Next time I am so impulsive, remember to stop me."

The "Redhead", with one third of its main mast broken off and its sails swaying in the wind, finally arrived at the port of Olavi Island before nightfall on Wednesday and docked at the pier equipped with a repair dock.

Looking at the deck covered with sawdust and half of the ship's sides already bare, Angel whispered to Elaine beside him.

"I try my best."

The brown-haired woman murmured in reply.

She also looked tired, partly due to the various accidents and battles on the road, and partly due to the negative effects of her "Ring of Madness".

As soon as it left Bayam's private port, the "Ginger" encountered a storm that was not large in scale and came and went quickly. The sailboat was blown away from the scheduled route, and Angel was also Just a reminder: She is also wearing a magical item that can bring bad luck to people.

Fortunately, after grazing the "Wind Blessed", Angel had a certain ability to control strong winds. Through a method that was not scientific at all, but very mysterious, she stood on the deck and blew hard at the sails, causing her to almost yaw and hit the rocks. The ship barely returned to the deep water area, avoiding the tragic ending of sinking immediately after setting sail.

This display of extraordinary abilities not only did not frighten the hired sailors, but also quickly brought their morale, which had begun to decline, back to the best level. After all, the enemy's Extraordinaries are terrifying, but the Extraordinaries we possess are... The most reliable teammate.

Under the command of Elaine, who has quite a lot of sailing experience, the deviated "Redhead" quickly returned to the normal channel and rushed to Olavi Island. However, the original plan to arrive before Klein was quickly interrupted because of an encounter with a pirate ship. Bankrupt, depressed for a long time, and full of anger, Angel finally found a chance to vent.

"Oh, I can hardly figure out the intention of the Church of Storms. Among the wanted posters with a bounty of more than 2000 pounds, I am the only one without a portrait, and the description is also very vague, as if it is perfunctory.

"Hopefully this pirate's bounty will cover the cost of this repair."

This guy Klein...

Although no fatal germs were spread, various minor illnesses were enough to make these plunderers uncomfortable for a long time. Maybe when they were discovered by the patrolling navy, no one on the ship would be able to stand up.

While the latter went to go through the formalities, Angel stood in front of the notice board, habitually looking for her wanted order. In full view of the public, she did not dare to tear up the wanted order, but it was still necessary to know it in advance.

As soon as they fired a few demonstrative cannons and broke the mast of the new ship painted red, the pirates on the ship found themselves starting to suffer from dizziness, vomiting, fever and other symptoms, and soon staggered on the deck. Lying on the ground, the captain, the only one who could barely hold on despite the "disease", had his head separated by the bone blade extending from his back before he could order a retreat.

In the corner of the newspaper clipping, there was a portrait with a thin, angular face, and his name written in cursive letters below:

Telegraphs cannot transmit newspapers, so this must be an old newspaper brought by the nearest ship. It contains the crazy deeds of an adventurer: shooting indiscriminately in a crowded bar, shooting at a wanted pirate, and killing a pirate. He threatened to come to collect the bounty and then left. Dozens of people, including the pirate's friends, watched the whole process, but no one dared to join the battle.

"'Lei Yan' is still the same as before. He didn't continue to work hard after leaving us..."

The two of them carried the pirate captain's head wrapped in black cloth, left the dock, and headed to the port authority. There, Elaine, who was familiar with various procedures, would follow the formal procedures to report the encounter, collect the possible bounty, and prepare for the incident. The "redhead" arranges repairs.

Olavi Island is a transfer station from Blue Mountain Island where Bayam is located to many colonial islands in the Sunia Sea. It was originally a desert island. It gradually became a busy port city during the continuous development. It has long been connected with cable telegraph. , so the update speed of various wanted posters is much faster than in small places with limited information.

Looking at the wanted posters of familiar people one by one, Angel felt a sense of comparison that he had not seen for a long time. He was happy that his worth was still three times that of Daniz, and he also felt that his defeated Tracy was so much more expensive than him that it was unworthy of his reputation, until Her eyes rested on a newspaper clipping.

Gehrman Sparrow!

Angel murmured, stepping into the busy port authority, and quickly glanced around. He found nothing in particular, and then let Elaine in.

Worried that the Loen military's armored ships will enter the Five Seas and pirates will be swept out of these waters in droves, the pirates near the Rhoside Islands have been very active in recent months and are eager to work day and night to steal all the supplies they see. Making the last profit before "washing hands", the same goes for the pirate ship targeting Angel and his friends.

Angel soon found his wanted poster on an inconspicuous corner of the notice board. It also only had a simple physical description, making it almost impossible to pinpoint him. However, the huge reward of 18000 pounds was still very dazzling, making people want to grab it. Put this paper away.

Until Angel, who was holding the captain's head, swam back to the "Redhead" and ordered to continue heading to Olavi Island in the fearful eyes of the sailors, the pirate ship was still uncontrollable.

"'Vice Admiral Disease' Tracy lost her flagship, but the reward rose to 30000 pounds, surpassing Vice Admiral Twilight. Is it because the sinking scene of the 'Black Death' was too weird, and her worth increased because of this? Then she You still have to thank me...

After several twists and turns, the "red-haired girl" finally brought a boatload of sailors to the Port of Olavi. Angel could see that the two-day thrilling voyage had made all the sailors exhausted physically and mentally. She discussed it with Elaine in a low voice. , the sailors were given a three-day holiday. The ship was going to be overhauled anyway, and I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to leave port again for a week.

...You didn't call me for such an interesting thing?

Thinking of the exhilarating feeling of breaking the moral constraints in his heart when he and Klein beat up the bartender in Port Damier and escaped from the scene when he first came to the sea, Angel felt that the blood flow in his whole body had accelerated.

However, he was not wanted for doing such a thing. It seems that the colonial officials are quite encouraging this kind of violent behavior of killing pirates in the street... She thought about it, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Elaine walking out of the room in disguise, with a smile on her face. With a faint smile. "Have you got the bounty?" she asked in a low voice after approaching. There were many people around her. Although they were not worried about revenge, they still understood that wealth should not be revealed.

"Not yet. They want to verify the information. They can come down as soon as tomorrow. The total is 800 pounds. You killed a famous pirate."

Elaine also lowered her voice and replied, her face glowing with excitement, feeling happy because of this unexpected income.

"Sounds like the level of the 'Red Skull Pirates'..."

Angel didn't take it seriously. A pirate with a maximum of Sequence 9 would be killed. His only regret was that he was in a hurry and didn't have time to wait for the other party's extraordinary characteristics to be released, so he suffered a small loss.

After leaving the port authority, Elaine planned to stay at a nearby hotel to prepare for collecting the bounty and repairing the ship tomorrow. Angel said goodbye to her and came to the port city next to the dock, preparing to look for traces of Klein.

According to the speed of the passenger ship, he should have arrived at Olavi Island a few hours earlier than himself who had veered off course and been attacked by pirates.

Hiding in an alley, Angel used the magic mirror to conduct a divination. She originally thought that she had become a divination master, but she was surprised to find that the divination failed. After a difficult confrontation, black and gray covered the mirror again.

"Why do I feel like my timing is not working? It's because he and I have been separated for too long, so the 'clues' for divination are insufficient and are interfered by his counter-divination?"

Murmuring, Angel quickly thought of another method. She set the target of divination as Darkwill who was traveling with Klein. This time the divination quickly showed a picture of the fat pharmacist throwing chips in a casino. , completely unlike the miser she originally knew.

And in less than a minute that was displayed on the screen, Darkwill had already won more than ten pounds, leaving Klein, who was carrying his luggage aside, stunned.

Haha, it’s so cruel to let Klein, who always loses in gambling, see such a scene... Angel secretly laughed in the alley for a while, then divined the location of the two of them and found the casino with good business. .

----

"595 pounds...600 pounds."

Seeing Darkwill gathering the chips in front of him and preparing to cash in and leave, Klein once again doubted his luck.

"That 'Congressman of Destiny' added luck to me was of no use at all, and even caused me to lose 30 pounds in ten minutes in the casino. How could he use it on Darkwill and have such a significant effect? ​​In less than two hours, he has already I won 600 pounds in three casinos... If I hadn't been worried about being noticed and had to change places frequently, I would have been able to take the money and leave now."

After he escorted Darkwill, who had the uniqueness of the "monster" path and the "Dice of Probability", to Oravi Island, he wanted to rush back to Bayam after asking for the reward, lest Angel continue without saying goodbye. He was sulking, but he didn't expect that the stingy pharmacist only had 300 pounds on him, and the remaining 700 pounds had to be paid by someone else. Richard, a member of the "life school", made him earn it back through "lucky" methods.

"Obviously, his luck does have a significant effect, but it has no effect on me. Could it be that after my promotion, the gray-white mist surrounding me can isolate the influence on my 'destiny'? This includes not only malicious ones, but also good intentions. ...Angel said that her 'lucky' revolver effect became worse after she was with me, is it also under my influence?"

While watching Darkwill exchange cash and prepare to leave with a smile on his face, Klein analyzed it in his mind.

"If I were you, I would hide the money right away to avoid dying in a deserted alley in the middle of the night."

Still remembering his identity, he reminded the fat pharmacist smoothly.

"When I give you all the money, you will be the one to worry about."

Darkwill, who was judged by his owl to be more suitable for the "Hunter" potion, replied, but still listened to the advice and carefully hid the banknotes in the inner pocket of his robe.

Will I be worried? I'm just worried that the thieves and robbers who come don't have reward amounts, so they won't be able to make extra money...

Klein, whose thinking had completely switched to Gehrman mode, chuckled and turned around to take Darkwill out of the casino and win the remaining money somewhere else.

Behind him, Angel was standing with his chest crossed with a sneer on his face.

boom--

The fat pharmacist who was hiding the money bumped into Klein's back, which was not broad but was now very stiff. The owl on his shoulder, which was pretending not to understand anything, made a "croak" and flew away from the three of them.
