Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 529 The unlucky hunter and the attacked witch

"In this sea area, whenever noon and midnight alternate, there may be violent storms," ​​Cattleya, who was wearing a black robe and thick glasses on her nose, explained, "The biggest wind and waves can be easily broken. The ship, so it’s best to wait out the storm in a safe place.”

At this time, Angel was standing on the side of the ship in the middle section of the "Future", looking at the island that was getting closer. It was different from the scorched earth island floating in the air before. It had many trees that could be seen in the "outside world" growing on it, and it was surrounded on three sides. A natural haven in the mountains.

When the "Future" cautiously sailed into it, the dark clouds in the sky had formed into pieces, completely blocking the all-pervasive sunlight, turning the originally blue sea into leaden gray.

Boom, boom.

Flashes of lightning flashed, accompanied by a low, continuous roar, followed by raindrops. After docking the ship, most of the pirates returned to the cabin to escape the heavy rain, and Angel followed Cattleya off the deck.

When she entered the inner cabin, she looked back and saw a hurricane as thick as a wall that seemed to connect heaven and earth, carrying waves and sweeping toward the island.

If it had not docked at a safe haven, but stayed on the sea just now, I am afraid that this hurricane could send the "Future" into the sky with just one encounter...

She thought with fear, and returned to her cabin, listening to the dense raindrops outside the window hitting the side of the ship like bullets, the seamless thunder that was distant and near, and the huge waves caused by the passage of the hurricane lifted the "Future" high, and then fell to the sea.

Fortunately, although the storm was big, it did not last long. Ten minutes later, this apocalyptic scene quickly receded and returned to the midday sunshine. Angel returned outside the cabin and found that the sudden high temperature had already destroyed the water. The deck was hot to the touch, and the steam made it difficult to breathe.

"Anderson Hood, the strongest hunter? Don't attack yet!"

Anderson, who was running wildly with his legs, let out a strange scream and rolled to the side. His original position was hit by the wind blade, and sand flew into the sky.

Klein's changing expression made Angel couldn't help but laugh, as if he had returned to Tingen City and met the new Nighthawk who was interested in all mystical knowledge.

She was about to make a few jokes when she suddenly noticed a black spot appearing on the hills in the distance. It quickly went down the hillside and approached the beach, and soon turned into a running figure.

Taking off the peaked cap on his head like a top hat, he put it on his chest and saluted. Klein changed the topic and asked in a low voice:
"The daughter of Emperor Russell?"

Angel didn't think this costume was ridiculous at first, but he quickly put a smile on his face under the influence of the other party.

"Don't attack, I don't mean any harm, I'm a living person!"

Angel also followed Cattleya to the ground, tested the water at the beach, and found that they were no different from the outside world.

"As expected, you are more suitable for formal wear... Strange, is this a stereotype?"

He said the last sentence to Angel beside him.

She raised her head and shouted to the "Future". The pirates who stayed on the deck had already aimed their cannons at the blond man. They were just waiting for an order to blast him with extraordinary characteristics. After hearing the captain's instructions, they temporarily Stopped moving.

Klein murmured, quickly giving up understanding all this because there were too few clues, and not everything the "Mysterious Queen" said was correct.

But the other party has a connection with Cattleya the Hermit, and is likely to take this opportunity to test her. I have to find an opportunity to hit her... Klein thought and quickly relaxed his brows.

Cattleya ordered, then came to the bow of the ship, summoned the "Starlight Bridge" that took Angel on board, and set it directly on the beach not far away.

These pirates obey orders and operate near the beach. People who come from far away must not belong to the "Future"!
When Angel, Klein and the "Star Admiral" met, the figure became clearly visible. He was wearing a white shirt, a black vest and black trousers. He had blond hair and blue eyes and a young appearance. From a distance, he looked like a hotel waiter.

"Anderson?" Klein murmured.

He was asking about something that Angel had vaguely answered on the ship just now. The latter nodded and looked in the direction of the "Future" and found that Cattleya was looking far away to the sea on the other side, observing the ruins there. He didn't pay attention to the two of them, so he nodded and said:
"She is also the 'Queen of Mystery' and is currently on the 'Future'..."

"The God War where the Creator took back his authority... No wonder this sea area is extremely dangerous. 'Arrods' warned me that it is between illusion and reality. It is the relic of the God War. It turns out that there are various divine powers mixed together, which caused the All kinds of visions... But why are there still rumors about the 'True Creator'? He is not a god from the Second Age..."

Ancient Hermes activated the spell in his hand, and wind blades shot out from his fingertips, accurately flying towards the blond man Anderson.

"I saw him in a dream. He was chopping wood with an ax next to the weird mural. He also said that his expedition team was completely wiped out here and they all became monsters. He was the only one alive. It was very weird!"

"This shows that Runen's gentlemanly spirit has penetrated deeply into my bones..."

"Enemy attack!"

At this moment, Cattleya, who had been standing behind, taking off her thick glasses and staring at Anderson, said:

If classified according to "divine power", the storm just now was probably the power of "storm"... But these islands, seawater and beaches are all real. The remaining divine power of the divine war only changes the environment intermittently and in turns, but Isn't this sea area completely transformed into a place similar to the spiritual world?
She was thinking, and suddenly she felt someone approaching from behind. When she turned around, she saw that it was Klein.

But Emperor Russell's daughter Bernadette knew that "The Fool" could interpret the diary, which still made him frown.

The latter had soaked the only formal suit he carried in the storm just now, so he had to change into spare clothes. Now he was wearing a crew-neck shirt, wide-leg trousers, and a peaked cap, like an indigenous resident of the Rhoside Islands.

"That's what mutated people say." Klein didn't believe it at all. He picked up a few more "Storm" charms and said, "Tie him up and I'll use lightning."

After receiving permission to disembark, the pirates followed the starlight to the beach like a joy, stepping on the soft sand and enjoying the long-lost solidity of the earth.

She immediately reminded her, while taking out the "Good Luck" revolver, stepping on the sand and approaching the "Future" and other pirates.

Klein's brown eyes widened in surprise.

"Do you know him?" Angel asked in a low voice.

As the "Fool", it is no longer painful for him to be targeted by high-ranking people. Bernadette is probably ranked behind the "True Creator", "Amon" and other gods or the King of Angels, and even eats exhaust fumes. The kind that doesn’t catch on.

"I see the joke in your eyes. You can laugh without worry. They are all far away and can't hear...Pfft..."

Explaining quickly, Klein took out a whole handful of charms from the pocket of his jacket over his crew-neck shirt, picked up a few at random, and recited:
"storm!"

Taking advantage of the "Queen of Mystery" staying on board the Future and Cattleya not paying attention, Angel quickly told Klein what happened in the dream.

The top priority is to improve the sequence, gain more control over the gray mist, and truly transform yourself into a powerful "Fool" who does not need to fear the prying eyes of others.

But after sailing in the ruins of the God War for most of the day, he didn't even see a mermaid's scales... He became distressed again.

He got up from the ground, danced and shouted loudly.

"You can go to the island for a while, but don't go too far. We will start again in half an hour."

He must have thought of the other party's bounty. Alas, my first reaction was the same... Angel cursed and continued:
"Moreover, she asked me not to tell Cattleya about this. I suspect that the separation between 'Queen of Mystery' and 'Admiral of the Stars' is just a superficial cover-up, and there may still be a connection between them."

Klein tried his best to look serious, but the costume he wore significantly affected his performance of the "crazy adventurer", and he soon couldn't hold back his laughter.

After getting a chance to breathe, "The Strongest Hunter" Anderson Hood slowly approached, raising his hands to show that he was not a threat, and then told how he was trapped on the island.

It turned out that a week ago, he was persuaded by a group of treasure hunters who claimed to have found a safe channel in this sea area. He joined their team and sailed to the ruins of the God War to explore the safe islands and ruins.

At first, these treasure hunters were very lucky. The information they received was quite accurate. They avoided dangerous islands and hunted many real monsters that could extract extraordinary characteristics and even carry magical items. They gained a lot.

But everything changes as they step into a strange temple half submerged in the sea.

“We saw a strange mural depicting a procession of pilgrims moving forward in the separated waters. Their leader was an angel with long silver-white hair... I was a little curious and traced the lines of the mural in the air with my fingers. Then, the angel opened his eyes and glanced at me!" Could it be that the silver-haired angel on the mural was...

Angel thought of the King of Angels who was located in a ruins in a place abandoned by God that Mr. "The Sun" had described in the Tarot Club.

"'Tail-Eater' Ouroleus."

Klein whispered that he had learned about this knowledge as "the world", and in his dream, he saw the related murals, so he directly told the answer.

The other two people had different reactions. "The Hermit" silently repeated the name of the King of Angels, thoughtfully, while Anderson looked blank, not pretending.

Who makes you not a member of the "Tarot Club"... Angel thought with some pride, urging the other party to continue telling his unfortunate experience.

"The angel on the mural showed no abnormalities after that, which made everyone think it was an illusion. One-third of the people thought that they should continue to explore. After entering the temple, they disappeared. After waiting long enough, we pressed They abandoned their previous agreement and prepared to return."

Anderson told the story calmly, not feeling uneasy at all about abandoning some of his companions.

Of course, this is usually the case for temporary adventure groups. Except for the most familiar companions, they can all be abandoned by each other.

"After leaving the temple, the rest of us soon found ourselves becoming unlucky. We would trip over ropes on the deck, get stuck in nails, drink and find ourselves peed on... and when we entered the midnight dream, we would also be able to... Explore everything with greater clarity.

"This actually harmed them. The other third organized a dream exploration. They never appeared again, and the physical bodies in reality turned into bloodthirsty monsters after the night ended, killing everyone. Some sailors and team members.

"In the end, because we couldn't sail out of this sea area, our ship was destroyed by the storm. I luckily escaped to this island and tried to save myself... Well, if you come one day later, I'm afraid I will starve to death and die of thirst. It’s here.”

Should I say he was lucky or unlucky? His teeth were choked when he drank cold water along the way, but he was lucky enough to survive until the end, and when he arrived at the "Future"... Angel cursed.

Since he has no criminal record, has not been on the bounty list, and has a pretty good reputation, this "strongest hunter" soon reached an agreement with Cattleya. He will leave this sea area on the "Future" as a "ship ticket" ”, half of the proceeds he gained from previous explorations will be given to the other party.

The original employers of the "Future", Angel and Klein, can obtain the mermaid position provided by him and complete the main purpose of the trip.

After reaching an agreement, the "Future" recalled the pirates walking on the beach and set sail again. The place would enter darkness every three to four hours, and then it would have to find a safe haven. The faster you act, the less risks you can reduce.

"Hello, beautiful lady, I am Anderson Hood. How should I call you?"

Stepping onto the deck, with no more worries about his life, the "strongest hunter" quickly turned into a playful smile. After asking about Klein's pseudonym, he turned to Angel, lowered his head and bowed, and asked.

"Angelica Sage."

Angel replied casually, taking a step back to stay away from the unlucky hunter to avoid being affected by his bad luck.

"Angelica? That Angelica with a bounty on her head...the one with so much bounty on her head?"

Anderson exclaimed, then lowered his voice and gestured with his hands, making a gesture of twenty-three thousand pounds.

"Yes, you can try it."

Angel held the revolver at his waist and sneered.

"I just sighed and had absolutely no other meaning! I was wrong!"

Seeing the cold looks from Gehrman, Angelica, and even the pirates passing by, the strongest hunter quickly stopped and waved his hands to apologize.

But his eyes stayed on the revolver hanging on Angel's slender waist.

"Wait a minute, this revolver...isn't it the weapon I ordered in Backlund?"

His eyes widened and he pointed at Angel's "Good Luck" revolver.

"I bought this for £3300."

Holding his precious pistol tightly with his right hand, Angel denied the other party's words without hesitation.

At the same time, she recalled in her mind the words of the craftsman Kavi.

It turns out that the man who ordered weapons, but was swept away by the waves because of an accident on the passenger ship, was Anderson Hood... Is he really the "strongest hunter" instead of the "unluckiest hunter"?

I'm afraid his luck didn't get worse because he met "Tail-Eater" Ouroleus!

Angel almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Knowing that he was being unreasonable, Anderson quickly gave up the "good luck" revolver that he had not obtained. Moreover, with his current level of unlucky, once he picked up this weapon that would bring bad luck, he would probably choke to death if he took a sip of cold water. , even if Angel gave him the weapon, he would not dare to take it.

After the brief farce on the deck ended, the "Future" quickly left the safe haven. Under Anderson's guidance, it bypassed several whirlpools and the "unfortunate ruins" with the Ouroboros mural, and continued along the safe channel.

Soon, another "dark night" dispersed the sunlight and descended on the ruins of the God War. Angel returned to his room, lay on the bed, and fell asleep through meditation.

……

Tick, tick.

The sound of water drops reached Angel's ears. She opened her eyes suddenly and found that she was not back in the library of her last dream, but appeared in a dark and damp basement.

Standing up quickly, Angel used dark vision to observe the room without any light.

She immediately spotted the full-length mirror hanging on a windowless wall.

A full-length mirror for a place like this...

With an idea in his mind, Angel immediately moved sideways, avoiding the front range of the full-length mirror.

In this weird dream, a mirror that can connect to the spiritual world is probably not a good sign.

After waiting quietly for a moment, she breathed a sigh of relief when she found that the full-length mirror showed no reaction and no strange creatures crawled out.

Get out of this room quickly...

Thinking like this, Angel turned back.

In front of her, on the other wall, the same full-length mirror was facing this direction.

In the dark mirror, Angel, with his blond hair tied back, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a waist-cinching jacket, and black leather boots, had a cold smile on his face.

The next second, she stepped out of the mirror, and the sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed was heard. The sharp bone blade drew strong wind and struck Angel head-on.
