Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 535: Promotion in singing
From the angle of Angel falling into the water, you can see that the stern part of the "Black Tulip" that has not yet entered the bronze gate is rapidly collapsing, with rotten planks, masts, a white sail that has become riddled with holes, and then those who were originally chasing " The living corpses and skeletons of "Azik Bronze Whistle" fell into the water like beans, causing continuous waves.

boom--

The bronze door slowly closed, and half of the "Black Tulip" and its owner "Hell Admiral" Ludwell gradually disappeared into the darkness.

The two pale flames stared blankly at Angel outside the crack of the door. There was no anger because of the loss, no hatred or fighting spirit, but only indifference to death.

The sea, which reflected the golden light of the blazing sun, temporarily returned to calm.

Angel swallowed two mouthfuls of salty seawater before reluctantly transforming into a "sea monster" and gaining the ability to move freely in the water. Her spirituality was on the verge of drying up and her vision began to become blurred. She could only swim to the outside to escape. Those undead creatures lost control and began to spontaneously attack the nearest living beings.

The "Murloc Cuff Pins" were lost in the battle, and Klein, who could only use a spell to gain the ability to breathe underwater, and Anderson, who was the first to jump into the water but lacked the ability to move, also swam here.

Fortunately, the "Future" has crossed the hull, revealing rows of cannons on the side. The pirates took aim one by one, and fired one bomb after another into the sea boiling due to the commotion of undead creatures, turning each living corpse into a Dead bodies, blasting skeletons that can float on the water on their own into the bottom of the sea.

Dots of starlight fell, condensing into a transparent bridge, and landed in front of the three people.

The blond Anderson climbed onto the star bridge first, looked back at the messy sea, and shouted.

Bosun Nina added.

The cheers gradually became louder, and the pirates with long hair or shaggy hair shouted one after another, but they carefully left space and did not swarm them. They used the method they were accustomed to welcoming heroes to lift the target high and throw it towards them. in the air.

"My armpin fell on the ship. Maybe I can track 'Admiral Hell' through it later..."

Seeing Anderson in such miserable condition, Angel and Klein carefully walked up the transparent bridge.

Angel frowned and asked.

"Wow! We actually killed the 'Black Tulip', that was the 'Hell Admiral'!"

"Shipbreaker!" "Angelica Sage!"

Klein whispered as they walked side by side, taking care to avoid Anderson who was climbing back up the star bridge from behind.

"And the crazy adventurer, Gehrman Sparrow!"

“Can a half-ship still float on the water?”

I don't know who took the lead in shouting.

Looking back at the pirates who all had their heads sticking out of the side of the ship to look at them, he waved his left hand and took a step forward.

how……

"...Shipbreaker."

At this time, Cattleya's reminder came from the distance.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she held Anderson in front of her, approaching Klein who also had a confused look on his face.

As expected, the unlucky curse on him was reflected in every aspect... Angel quietly moved away from this "unfortunate hunter", only to find that the pirates on the deck, including Nina, Frank, and the others had swallowed a black bird in the battle just now. The monster, Heath Doyle, who had an even paler face, all gathered around him, their eyes flickering and their expressions strange.

With a "plop", he stepped off the star bridge and fell into the water again in front of Angel, who had just stepped onto the bridge.

"Be careful, the aura of the Mother Earth here will still affect the 'Future'..."

Before the unlucky Anderson caught up with them, the two returned to the deck of the Future along the star bridge, but strangely, except for the time when the former stepped into the air, no other accidents occurred.

The two looked at each other, neither of them having any hope.

"Sparrow!" "The man who killed the 'Black Tulip' alone!"

Klein's action of holding back "Admiral Hell" while everyone was busy dealing with the black monster was also recognized by everyone. The bold pirates were no longer polite to this male. They surrounded him one after another and quickly took him Klein, who was wearing a crew-neck shirt and wide-leg trousers, and his peaked cap had been sucked away by the bronze door, raised it high, threw it up and caught it again.

The latter rarely refused them with a cold expression, but squinted his eyes and enjoyed the cheers of the crowd.

"And 'The Strongest Hunter' Anderson Hood!"

Hearing such an inappropriate remark amidst the cheers, Klein couldn't help but open his eyes and look over there. He found that Anderson himself was shouting among the crowd, but found that no one responded, so he closed his eyes angrily. Mouth.

You should be lucky that most of them don't know that you are having bad luck and have attracted so many enemies, otherwise they would tie you to the stern of the boat with a rope and throw you into the sea as a bait to attract monsters... Cursing, he felt that he The last trace of the "Faceless Man" potion in his body was completely digested as he kept leaving the deck and being caught by everyone's hands.

After the brief "Heroes Return" event, the pirates, under Cattleya's instructions, quickly cleaned the deck of the "Future", picked up the black monsters that died under the poison, and released the Saint through the pirate general's golden brooch. After being burned by the light, it was thrown into the sea.

I don’t know if these dead monsters will be resurrected again under the breath of the Mother Goddess of the Earth and combine into corpse giants. However, the "Future" has raised its sails and quickly left this sea area. Naturally, it no longer considers this long-term future. question.

The only victim in this battle, the pirate who died after his blood was sucked out by an out-of-control vine, received a grand funeral at sea. Surrounded by all the crew, Nina, who acted as the priest of the "Storm Lord", read the funeral. Prayers were recited, and the ashes were burned and put into jars, waiting to be handed over to the family members designated by him during his lifetime.

Even though most pirates and sailors like to say "dedicate everything to the sea", after death, not many people are willing to use the traditional sea burial method and let their companions exile their bodies into the sea, especially In this weird ruins of the God War, the corpse fell into the water. Maybe next time we can see him in that kind of corpse giant.

Listening to the low-pitched prayers around him, and watching the pirates who more or less believed in the Storm Lord punch their right fists to their left chests, Angel also silently drew a crimson moon in his heart.

……

The "Future" continued to move forward in the direction pointed out by Anderson, carefully avoiding various dangerous ruins and islands, and continued to penetrate deeper into the ruins of the God War. Except for the "Black Tulip", they did not encounter any ships or living people, nor did they enter the sea where the aura of the gods was left again.

After alternating between night and noon twice, April 4 arrived according to outside world time. During this period, Klein used the "Fire" gloves he bought for 15 pounds and used the ability of the Thief Path to remove the "Total Black Eye" inside. The pollution of the true Creator was "stolen", turning the valuable magical items into pollution-bearing waste and being thrown into the gray fog space.

In contrast, the "Total Black Eye" has also gotten rid of the pollution and has returned to the pure "Puppet Master" extraordinary characteristics. As long as it is put into the container together with other auxiliary materials, it can be made into a real magic potion.

"...and finally the golden spring water of Sunia Island..."

Pour the pale golden liquid into the iron pot and watch it merge with other materials, provoking different reactions, and eventually turn into a dark golden liquid.

With a pop, the extraordinary properties like a black eyeball slid into the liquid along the edge of the pot. Countless bubbles appeared on the calm water surface, and drastic changes occurred inside.

Ten seconds later, the liquid dyed pure black returned to calm, with countless tiny bugs swimming rapidly inside, reminding Klein of the sewage that breeds larvae.

After doing a simple divination with a stern face and gold coins, he finally confirmed that this was a successful potion.

I'm going to drink this thing into my stomach later... Even after drinking the potion four times, Klein still can't accept this kind of thing sometimes. He carefully poured the medicine into the metal bottle he prepared in advance and stuffed it into his pocket. , cleaned up the room, and then returned to the deck.

Even though it was already early morning in terms of time, the sky in this unusual sea area was still occupied by the midday sun. The pirates on duty on the deck looked around with vigilance, but the melodious singing coming from their ears made their eyes wander from time to time. Bewilderment flashed through.

It's a mermaid, and she has finally waited for this moment... He felt a little excited, took a deep breath, and touched his pocket again to confirm that the potion was there.

Despite Angel's reminder, Klein already knew that "Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette was on this ship and made corresponding preparations. However, when he fell asleep last night, he was fished with "Roselle's Notes" and was still It left him with lingering fears.

Even though he took a reasonable response and didn't even look at the blank notebook inside, Klein was still recognized by Russell's eldest daughter——

His identity as "Gehrman Sparrow" actually came from the "Queen of Mystery"!
No matter how you hide it, you have been defeated from the beginning...

Of course, the same goes for Angel's "Angelica Sage". I'm afraid this pirate king started paying attention to us a few months ago. This time, he directly equated the two of us with the followers of The Fool. I'm afraid You must be extremely careful in your actions in the future... and "Admiral of the Stars", as Bernadette's former subordinate, she should have provided a lot of information during this process, which needs to be hammered out in the Tarot meeting...

Listening to the beautiful singing coming from everywhere, countless evil thoughts flashed through his mind, and Klein felt like he was in a trance.

The runes engraved on the deck suddenly lit up, forming a dazzling sea of ​​stars, which isolated the seductive singing voice of the mermaid not far away, allowing the pirates to return to normal.

Was I influenced by the mermaid just now?
Klein's head suddenly became clearer and he looked up suddenly.

Cattleya, who was wearing a black robe, poked her head out of the window of the captain's cabin. When she saw Klein looking up, she nodded slightly without saying a word.

"The boat is ready. Do you want me to go with you?"

The soft voice coming from beside him calmed the last trace of violence in Klein's heart. He turned his head to look at Angel and shook his head.

"It doesn't matter, I can do it myself."

Angel glanced at him with some worry before getting out of the way and watching Klein get on the boat alone and be lowered into the water along the side of the boat.

The moment he left the protection of the "Future", his figure swayed again, as if he was about to jump into the water, but he quickly returned to normal. He used the spell to attract strong winds and pushed the ship closer to the reef ahead.

"Toxin expert" Frank Lee came over at some point, put up a pergola with his hands and looked into the distance. After a moment, he suddenly said:

"Don't worry, these mermaids generally don't harm humans. Instead, they are very shy and hide away from people."

"But they were rumored to lure sailors with their songs, make them jump into the sea, and then eat them?"

To ease his anxiety, Angel asked rhetorically.

"So this is the rumor," Frank chuckled, seeming to have emerged from the shadow of the death of his teammates, "The songs of mermaids can indeed tempt humans, but most of them drowned, and a few were killed by other extraordinary creatures. On the contrary, All mermaids have been captured and kept in captivity, and only a few wild ones live here.”

It always felt like another maritime legend had been shattered... Angel pursed his lips and looked into the distance again, and found that as soon as Klein stepped onto the reef, the mermaids jumped into the sea one after another as if they were frightened, and disappeared after disappearing under the sea. It was indeed as Frank said explain.

"By the way, the way you killed those black monsters yesterday was wonderful. This bottle of poison was made by me. It has enhanced activity and can be stored in a sealed state for a long time. I think it might be able to help you."

The toxin expert remembered his purpose, took out a glass bottle as thick as his thumb from his pocket, and handed it to Angel. The latter took it, looked at the sun, and found that it was different from the miserable green liquid used yesterday. It has a deep yellow color.

In fact, I have already remembered the poison - she did not say these words, but smiled and thanked Frank for his kindness, and carefully put the glass bottle away.

The formula of the "Despair" potion requires a poison as an auxiliary material, and she can just use this bottle.

While the two were chatting, Klein had successfully taken the potion amidst the songs of several mermaids who had not had time to run away, and then stood blankly on the top of the reef without any movement, nor any violent or out-of-control behavior.

The entire ship's pirates looked over there with concern, looking at this temporary teammate who played a key role in yesterday's battle.

Feeling the distant gazes of everyone, Klein slowly opened his eyes, his eyes dark and filled with spirituality that had not yet been controlled and was still escaping.

In his sight, countless black lines stretched out from the mermaid in front of him, the seabed and the sky everywhere, and the "Future" not far away, spreading to infinity, as if pulling the wires of a puppet.

When using "Total Black Eyes", he also has similar vision, but it is not as natural as now.

From now on, I am the "Secret Puppet Master"...

Watching the lines passing through his eyes, and quickly finding the ones belonging to Angel among them, Klein smiled and closed his eyes again.
