Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 517 Restarting
Bayam, Church of the Waves of the Church of the Storm.

"The Hanged Man" Alger Wilson, wearing a linen shirt common in the port area, met the bishop of the diocese, Joe Gory, in the name of confession.

The two came to the secret room behind the church, and Alger reported his whereabouts near the Gargas Islands for more than a month to his superiors.

Of course, there was actually no useful news. More than a dozen Church of Storms ships were scurrying around like headless flies in the Sunian Sea. They visited almost every inch of the sea and could not find the "Ghost Empire".

"Your Excellency Qiao Geli, what's the point of doing this?"

After the report, he saw that the bishop's expression was still calm and did not change due to the failure of the mission. After thinking about it for a while, he hesitated and asked.

Even if you are a devout storm believer, you should not ask anything after wasting more than a month at sea. This will only make you look more abnormal.

Qiaogoli's expression darkened:
"Whether it makes sense or not is not up to you and me."

Seeing Alger lowering his head in fear, he softened his tone and continued:
"Whether the legendary ghost ship has been found or not is not important. What is important is that other forces have not found it either."

Other forces... Fusac's garrison in Gargas, the Extraordinaries of the Church of the Night, Roen's fleet, and even other pirates? As long as no one finds it, the situation on the Five Seas will not change, and this is what the Church of Storms is happy to see!

The gray-haired bishop had already turned back. When he heard Alger's question, he turned to look at him again. His face was not solemn or angry as expected, but a curious expression.

If you go there, you will either have become a follower of "The Fool" and you will be judged and severely punished, or... your achievements will be noticed by the church's senior leaders and you will be ready for a deeper examination.

He asked rhetorically.

After his suspicion was confirmed, Alger raised his head, his face showing surprise at first, and then understanding.

He reacted in time, made a surprised expression on his face, punched his left chest with his right fist, and saluted.

"You have completed your mission well this time. The Blue Avenger will rest in Bayam for a week, and then you must be ready to go to Pasu Island."

Then, as if he remembered something, he frowned slightly, his face hesitated, and after a moment he asked softly:

Angel pressed the wide-brimmed hat on his head with one hand, and the white feather swayed in the wind, almost blowing away. With the other hand, he grabbed the side of the boat and looked around warily.

And telling myself so generously is almost a clear statement...

She didn't want to experience the tragedy of being attacked by a pirate ship during the last "trial voyage" and causing the main mast to break.

"Yes, Lord K2!"

In addition to this cargo worth thousands of pounds, the redhead also carried two special passengers.

----

The "Red-Haired Girl" raised its sails, splitting the waves with its bow, and headed east. This small boat, whose tonnage was not even high in Bayam's private port, was now fully loaded with spices and spices produced on Blue Mountain Island. Spirits are heading to Nas, the capital of the Carcas Islands.

Pasu Island is where the altar of the Church of Storms is located and also the headquarters of the church.

Leaving Olavi Island and heading east to the sea near Nas, it is also known as the "Pirates' Paradise". After the ironclad ships of the Kingdom of Loen were launched and the huge naval fleet compressed the living space of the pirates, the pirates became more and more popular. Many pirate ships gathered here, making the waterway extremely dangerous.

Maintenance and cost were secondary. What was more important was that the strength of the mast that had been repaired after it broke was no longer as strong as before, causing the sailboat's top speed to drop by two knots.

"Your Excellency, when I was in Gargas, I once saw someone selling a special bullet. It is said to come from within the Church of Storms. It is expensive, but it can stack higher damage in repeated attacks. I have never heard of it. We have this item.”

Entering April, the coldness of winter has completely disappeared. In the warmer south, many young sailors are even wearing short-sleeves. However, experienced people know that the sun exposure is more terrifying than the cold, so protect every inch. Skin is the secret to living longer at sea.

Chogori continued, his voice inaudible, but it was like thunder in Alger's ears.

"Special bullets?"

This increased the profits of the trade of goods between Nas and other colonies, allowing many ships that dared to take huge risks to transport goods to earn a lot of gold pounds, and also attracted pirates to flock to them, treating each cargo ship as a doorstep. Fat meat.

Just when she squinted her eyes and looked at a black spot in the distance, and was about to take out her binoculars to identify it carefully, a thick gray fog suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

Then, a figure with dark blue hair as messy as seaweed appeared in the gray fog.

"Dear Mr. Fool, please tell Miss Queen that I have received the exact information..."

Angel's heart immediately rose, his ears pricked up, and he listened carefully.

"...The bullets you mentioned that can gradually add damage are called 'thunder bullets'. Due to the difficulty in making them, they are not as powerful as the spells made with the same amount of work, so they are rarely used in battles."

The words of "The Hanged Man" ended and the gray fog gradually dissipated, but Angel still stood blankly on the bow of the ship, looking forward unfocused.

The small black dot gradually expanded, and a black and white sail became clear, with the symbol of two overlapping scimitars painted on it.

The sailors on the "Redhead" panicked. Under the command of Captain Elaine and Boatswain William, they pushed the cannons to the muzzles, opened the ammunition boxes, and were ready to load at any time.

No one dares to bet that the other party is a "good pirate" who abides by the rules of Nast, the "King of the Five Seas", and only robs goods but does not kill anyone. After setting up a small number of artillery pieces and getting ready to meet the enemy, the "red-haired girl" turned sideways on the ship and changed its direction, trying to avoid the murderous pirate ship while displaying her own artillery pieces. Ahead, a futile attempt to intimidate.

But something surprising happened. The huge pirate ship, with its black sails and cannons pushed to the gun emplacement, slowly slowed down, as if hesitating whether to continue the pursuit.

A few minutes later, the opponent's mast turned, the bow of the ship swung to the other side, and it actually left the sea area faster than before.

Angel, who had magic scales attached to her face and was about to jump into the sea to deal with the pirate ship, was stunned. She roughly estimated the distance. If she went into the water to pursue her now, it would most likely delay the "red-haired girl"'s schedule, so she had to give up. .

"what happened?"

She murmured, looking back, and her eyes met Klein who was walking out of the cabin.

"Perhaps their captain saw you standing on the bow of the ship and was scared away. Just like when we first arrived at sea, we hung Flame Danitz outside the cabin."

Klein replied with a chuckle, tossed up a gold coin, and did a simple divination. The result surprised him beyond measure.

Is my guess actually true?

Angel, who also saw the divination results, forced a smile on his face and said:

"It seems that my reward, which is similar to that of Lieutenant General Iceberg, is indeed effective."

Mentioning the self-destructive decision to raise the reward after learning the "truth" from Adam more than a month ago, Angel unnaturally moved his eyes away from Klein and looked at Elaine at the stern of the ship, who was steering the sailboat back to its course.

After Klein forcibly stopped those gloomy and dark thoughts that day, she temporarily settled down and tried to find some loopholes in what "Adam" said and confirm the authenticity of her memory.

After the initial panic passed, she had found many problems that she could not explain, such as her resurrection from death twice, the "disaster" spell that could kill demigods, and the Church of Night's abnormal attention to her.

If, as Adam said, all this is "fantasy", then He is probably no longer the "King of Angels", but the true God.

Even so, he still needs the cooperation of another true god, the goddess of the night, to achieve this.

It’s ridiculous to think that a king of angels and a true god would plot against a small character like me... The corner of Angel’s mouth twitched, but he couldn’t laugh.

Because of the information about "The Hanged Man" Alger just now, Adam's statement became somewhat true again:
The Church of Storms does have a way to make the special bullet "Storm Convergence".

Of course, she can continue to deceive herself, thinking that the "Thunder Bullet" is not a "gathering of storms", and that it is a complete coincidence that the earth's production technology can continue to be used in the "different world", or even treat "Adam" and His words as completely non-existent. It's dark when you put your eyes on it.

However, this kind of self-deception and inability to look straight into the heart may leave a sharp thorn in her heart that will pierce her heart at some point and cause fatal harm.

Fortunately, after that short period of pain passed, even if she faced the reality again, Angel believed that she would not have the idea of ​​"self-destruction", because she now understood Klein's intentions, and her life no longer belonged to more than just... By myself.

Thinking of this, she smiled again, opened her arms, and hugged Klein.

The latter was a little shocked at first, and then felt a little uncomfortable under the burning eyes of many sailors and Elaine on the deck, but in the end he accepted the enthusiasm.

"Even a crazy adventurer has a soft place in his heart..."

He was silently replenishing his character in his mind, but was surprised to find that the potion, which originally took several weeks to be fully digested, showed some signs of loosening.

Behind him, Elaine, who was holding the steering wheel with both hands, was looking over in stunned silence.

In broad daylight, with so many sailors watching, they, they actually...

The captain, who had a heroic appearance and had already established prestige in the hearts of the sailors, had heat in his cheeks, and he didn't know where to look for a moment.

"He, he is actually on the deck, doing such a thing?"

A hoarse voice came from behind Elaine. She turned around and found that it was her burly, bronze-skinned first mate, William Jones.

The latter didn't notice his captain's gaze at all, but looked at the two people clinging to each other on the bow of the ship, especially Gehrman, whose back was facing here, but his gaze seemed to be a little fearful, and he didn't dare to look at it at all. other side.

"That guy Gehrman Sparrow, after 'Vice Admiral Iceberg' and 'Vice Admiral Disease', is he going to harm other women again?"

He lowered his voice, murmuring as if he was afraid of being heard by others, and his face gradually became distorted.

"What? Lieutenant General Disease?"

Elaine subconsciously asked after hearing a certain keyword.

"Yes, Captain, haven't you heard yet? The secret story of some crazy adventurer Gehrman Sparrow and two female pirate generals?"

William covered his mouth with his hands and whispered.

He watched with satisfaction as his captain's expression twisted.
