Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 528 The Mysterious Queen
Annie...sister?
Angel was stunned for a moment and then reacted immediately.

The eldest daughter of Emperor Russell in front of her, Bernadette Gustave, was born 200 years ago. In terms of age, she is older than most people currently living in the world.

But the "Queen Anne's Revenge" was a ghost ship from the Fourth Age. Anne lived a full two thousand years!
Not to mention calling her sister, calling her grandma is actually very suitable... Of course, if Annie really has human thinking, I'm afraid this kind of call will cause a lot of trouble.

The only possibility is that when Bernadette was a child, she met Anne, who looked like a girl, and therefore always regarded her as her "sister".

After calming down a little, Angel nodded and replied:

"Yes, I met Anne two months ago...and her 'Queen Anne's Revenge' in the spirit world, an ancient ghost battleship."

The two parties were obviously old acquaintances, so she did not hide the ghost ship.

Sure enough, Bernadette's almost expressionless face was filled with joy instead of surprise or confusion.

"After his death, Annie and her ghost ship lost track. She carried the 'Judgment' card and could not be divined or tracked in any way. However, there were no reports of her appearing in the Five Seas. Because of their Considering the relationship between us, I once thought that Anne had left me forever."

Her indifferent gaze softened a lot, as if she was caught in some kind of memory.

She roughly told Bernadette how she discovered the "Queen Anne's Revenge". Of course, she omitted the fact that she had the "Disaster" charm. She only said that Anne signed a contract with her to find someone who could "end her". life" approach.

"The connection between me and her should allow her to sense my call. Do you need me to summon her?"

"No, the appearance of the 'Queen Anne's Revenge' in my memory is blue, just like the color of the sea. She said that it was easy to hide herself."

And it wasn't until she left the Emperor and returned to the deep sea that Annie transformed herself back into the "Black Death" of the Fourth Age. No wonder Bernadette, who was hiding on the "Future", didn't recognize her when she appeared yesterday. Maybe the image of the young girl Annie When she appeared on the deck, Bernadette was alert to the sudden appearance of this strange ship, and even worried that it was related to the "Immortal King"... Angel was muttering in his heart.

"Fortunately, Annie finally changed her mind and decided to stay in this world for a while longer. The main motivation was that she wanted to see you after learning that you were still alive." She continued to talk about Annie's expectations. Hope passed it on to the daughter of the emperor, "If we hadn't met in Backlund and I learned your name, I'm afraid she would have ended her life by circumventing Emperor Russell's order. .”

Due to various combinations of circumstances, the two of them passed each other by each other in the closest encounter in a century, failing to recognize each other.

Bernadette raised her eyebrows and immediately asked:
"That ghost ship last night was Annie?"

"He actually gave such an order. No wonder Anne suddenly left without saying goodbye... Moreover, how could she want to end her life?"

The surprise on the face of this high-sequence extraordinary person gave Angel a sense of satisfaction.

I think it's not the color of the sea, but the color of your eyes. No, it should be the color of Emperor Russell's eyes!

"After that, she seemed to be a little more active. Many ships have discovered traces of ghost ships in the east of the Sunia Sea in the past two months. I think it is probably the 'Queen Anne's Revenge', and last night, passing by the 'Future The 'Qiu Sui' was seriously damaged, and I'm afraid it was also caused by her."

And the relationship between "Star Admiral" Cattleya and Bernadette, who concealed this and did not tell Angel, seemed very suspicious...

Bernadette shook her head again, making her chestnut hair tremble like waves.

"Anne was restricted by Emperor Russell's last 'order', which required her to hide herself in the depths of the ocean and not take any action that might endanger her own existence. Therefore, she hid on a deserted island far away from the shipping lanes for many years..."

Bernadette shook her head and replied.

This question made Angel a little curious:
"You must have seen her, or even boarded the 'Queen Anne's Revenge' many times, right? Didn't you recognize her immediately?"

Fortunately, there is still me... Angel sighed softly, stretched out his right hand, and looked at the location where the sword, shield and scale mark was hidden on his skin.

At the same time, she also confirmed that the high-sequence extraordinary person in front of her came to this sea area on the "Future".

"No, not here."

"He" should refer to Emperor Russell. As far as I know, this emperor had become an angel before his death, but his daughter obviously regarded him as a father, not an emperor or a superior extraordinary person, so she used the word "He" instead of "Him"... Moreover, Bernadette also regards Anne as a real person, rather than a consciousness attached to the ghost ship "Queen Anne's Revenge". The relationship between them may be better than mine More intimate than imagined?
Thinking quickly in his mind, Angel quickly decided how to answer and respond next.

——In this way, we have one more trump card for exploring this mysterious sea: a Sequence 2 ghost ship.

"This sea area is filled with crazy murmurs from the 'True Creator'. Medium-sequence Beyonders can hardly hear it, but after reaching high-sequence, the rants will become very dangerous. I have the ability to resist it, but Anne may not have it... ...I will look for her again after leaving this ruins of the God War."

"God's war... ruins?"

Angel felt that he heard a certain extraordinary word and subconsciously repeated it.

"The ancient gods fell here, and the Creator took back His authority. After the God War, this sea area became a place of death for many out-of-control divine powers. I think you have seen some of them."

Bernadette explained patiently that this was completely different from her attitude of leaving in a hurry just now. Perhaps it was because of the small "reward" given to Angel after learning Anne's information.

So, the terrifying power of the "golden chariot" that I encountered in the morning and the seemingly never-ending high noon came from an ancient god who represented the "sun"? And those extraordinary creatures that Cattleya talks about that are powerful but do not condense their characteristics after death, are they really the products of "utopian" authority?

Combining this information, Angel quickly confirmed the ownership of several "divine powers". The sudden entry into the dark night and the danger of disappearing without sleep also reminded her of the catacombs in Trier and the abandoned place where the "Silver City" is located. Land, I thought of...the authority of the goddess!

Lord of Crimson, Mother of Secrets!
Part of the goddess's name suddenly flashed in her mind.

It turns out that every honorable name of a god represents supreme authority.

Therefore, the "sun" is the "eternal blazing sun, the eternal light", and "fantasy" is likely to belong to the legendary "Dragon of Fantasy"... Seeing Angel deep in thought, Bernadette gently stretched out her hand and raised it in the air. He picked up the copy of "Russell's Notes 5" on the floor, stuffed it back into the bookshelf, glanced at the floor-to-ceiling window not far away, and said:
"The dream is about to end. Return to the 'Future' and do not reveal my existence to Cattleya. In addition, do not try to explore this dream. You have the blessing of the 'dark night' and being too active in the dream will only make it more difficult." Danger."

After hearing so many secrets and knowing that this was the "God War Ruins", Angel had long since given up the idea of ​​exploring, but another request from the other party made her a little confused.

I thought she boarded the "Future" under the arrangement of "Star Admiral" Cattleya, but it seems that she actually boarded the ship secretly? And she specifically said this because she didn't want to see the other person... She was the "Mysterious Queen" that Cattleya had followed but then parted ways with for some reason?
The mysterious queen with a reward of 65 pounds?
As soon as he figured this out, a dazzling white light appeared in front of Angel's eyes. It was completely different from the dim sunset here, the midday sun.

She squinted her eyes and looked at the location of the light, and found that she had returned to the cabin of the "Future". Outside the portholes was the blazing sun that had replaced the night again, and in her ears was the sound of gentle waves lapping against the hull.

That strange dream was over.

……

After sitting on the edge of the bed and digesting the knowledge he had just gained from "Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette, Angel opened the door and came to the corridor.

She first took a sneak peek at the captain's room and found that the door was closed. Then she went to the other side of the corridor and knocked on Klein's door.

After waiting for a few minutes, the door opened and Klein poked his head out.

"Sorry, after waking up just now, I fell asleep again and got some important information."

He said softly, ushering Angel into the room.

This is the same single suite, and Klein doesn't have much luggage, so the room remains as it was when he just moved in. There is only a copper whistle on the table and a nearly broken paper crane.

Will Auceptin... Angel immediately understood the reason why the other party fell asleep again.

"The dream I entered before was very dangerous. If I enter it again..."

"Don't try to explore, I know that too." As soon as Klein started speaking, Angel took over, "I also received a similar warning."

"Who is it?" Klein raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

He wasted precious contact opportunities before getting a hint from the "Snake of Destiny". The piece of paper would break after being used three or four times at most!

"The one Anne is looking for."

Worried about possible surveillance, Angel answered vaguely, but since the two of them shared almost everything they knew, the other should be able to easily guess who it was.

Sure enough, after a moment of confusion, Klein showed a look of understanding and stopped talking.

After packing up the items on the table, the two came to the dining room of the "Future". The pirates who had just fallen asleep everywhere had returned to their posts. The chef reheated the cold lunch and put it on a plate, waiting to be taken. , there were also many people gorging themselves in the restaurant.

Among them was Frank Lee, who was unusually enthusiastic. He invited Angel and Klein to sit at his table, and even handed him a glass of red wine from "Red Wine Fish". Klein rejected him with a serious face, and Angel took it with some interest and took a sip.

Well, it’s a little sweeter than normal red wine…

"tasty!"

She praised heartily.

Frank seemed even more excited and began to chatter about his "new inventions", such as bacteria that can make bulls produce milk, mushrooms that can grow on fish... Hearing this, Angel put down his wine glass with some fear.

"When my bacterial research is successful, I hope to use your 'mass spread' method to infect the entire ship's bulls at once!"

Frank's eyes sparkled and he looked at Angel.

This is the first pirate on the ship who sees her this way because of her extraordinary abilities rather than appearance.

Just as this one-sided "happy conversation" reached its climax, the "Star Admiral"'s voice, amplified by some kind of magic, sounded in the restaurant:

"Those who had finished lunch returned to their positions immediately. There was an island 1 nautical mile ahead, where we waited for the storm to pass."

storm?
Angel looked out the window in confusion. The invisible but omnipresent sun above his head was emitting scorching light, and not even a dark cloud could be seen.

The other pirates carried out the captain's orders without any compromise. They quickly stuffed toast and bacon into their mouths, finished their lunch, then returned to the deck and controlled the sailboat to sail forward quickly.

After all, after entering this ruins of the God War, the "Star Admiral" had not made any mistakes in his instructions.

"Do not challenge the warning signs of the storm."

In the almost empty restaurant, Klein said softly.

Is this also a warning from the "Snake of Destiny"?

Angel looked out the window again, and suddenly found that there was a hint of darkness in the originally cloudless sky.
