Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 538 Return to the Ghost Ship

"What about Annie?"

Since Angel had told Klein about the "Mysterious Queen" information before, he quickly understood and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, but I'm not sure whether she will respond to my call. I'm going to try it later. If it fails, maybe I don't have to leave here early."

After a moment of silence, Klein nodded: "Be careful."

Does he mean Bernadette, the "Queen of Mysteries", or Anne?

Angel smiled slightly: "The same goes for you. If you have any questions, please contact me directly through the messenger."

She originally wanted to hug the other person, but considering that she was still on the "Future", she couldn't let go in the end.

……

Returning to his room, Angel sat by the window for a moment, looking at the normal night outside the window, and suddenly said:

"are u there?"

"You can start."

A cold voice came from behind, and Angel immediately turned around, seeing this mysterious queen, the eldest daughter of Emperor Russell, for the first time in "reality."

Wearing the light brown knee-length skirt and beige trousers that she first met in her dream, she leaned against the wall and looked at Angel.

I don’t even know when she came... Wait, didn’t she follow me into Klein’s room just now?

Angel cursed, stretched out his right hand, and looked at the palm of his hand, where the mysterious emblem made of Anne's blood was hidden.

First...what should be done?
Although he didn't want the pirate king to see his hesitation, he would definitely be discovered if he kept raising his hands and making no other moves...

Angel's mind was running wildly. He thought about everything from putting the "disaster" charm on his hand to raising his arms and shouting "Queen Anne's Revenge", but finally decided to try it with his own blood first.

She cut her left index finger with her nail, gently dropped a drop of blood on the palm of her right hand, and then waited quietly.

"...don't you read her honorable name?"

After an awkward silence, Bernadette asked.

It turns out that someone who is not a god can also have his own honorable name?

Not wanting to expose his ignorance, Angel shook his head and said:

"She didn't tell me."

"A saint in Sequence 3 can have his own honorary name and respond to calls in specific scopes and rituals. To respond worldwide, Sequence 2 is required. Of course, whether to respond depends on the status and will of the target. You have the same relationship with her. No matter where you are, as long as you recite her name, you will receive a response."

Bernadette obviously saw through her thoughts. She explained first, then switched to Gufusac and recited:

"The last afterglow of the empire, the master of the five seas, the balance of order in the spiritual world..."

She paused.

"Lovely Anne Gustave."

Angel took a breath, feeling that many of his guesses had been confirmed.

But under Bernadette's cold gaze, she did not dare to delay. She spread some of the nearly dry blood on her palms and repeated Anne's honorable name in ancient Fusac language.

After the last note came out of her mouth, she immediately felt some heat in her palms, and her blood was quickly absorbed by her skin, showing the overlapping marks of the sword, shield, and scales in her palms.

"Is this okay?"

She showed her palm to Bernadette and asked.

"With the help of blood and the contract, she should be able to sense it even in the spirit world," the mysterious queen replied, "but how long will it take for her to get here? I..."

Before she finished speaking, a green phosphorescent light flashed outside the window.

The two looked at the sea not far from the side of the "Future". The sea that was originally crimson in the moonlight was mixed with a lot of green.

In the phosphorescence, a huge three-masted sailboat quickly took shape. It was completely black, and its sails were motionless in the wind. If it weren't for the phosphorescence that outlined its edges, it would have been almost invisible.

It's the "Queen Anne's Revenge" that appears directly from the spirit world!
It seems that the "Ghost Empire" rumors in the past two months were indeed caused by her... Is another maritime legend about to be shattered?

Angel sighed secretly, and was about to ask how to get on the boat. Suddenly, he felt that the tables and chairs around him became distorted, and the lights on the wall turned into spots. Then, a thin film like soap bubbles wrapped around her, and she was surrounded by a thin film. He "squeezed" through the window in an unscientific way and quickly flew towards the ghost ship on the opposite side.

She turned her neck and found that Bernadette was also floating in a soap bubble, her face was calm, but there was a hint of excitement hidden in her eyes. Soap bubbles, pea vines...how do they seem to be the product of some fairy tales? Is this a characteristic of the path where the "Mysterious Queen" is located?

Angel was thinking, and found that many pirates behind him had noticed the ghost ship that suddenly appeared very close, and shouted to prepare for battle, but seemed to have no reaction to the two soap bubbles.

It seems that this mysterious queen usually relies on similar methods to move and hide herself on the "Future"?

Soon, the two of them floated above the dark deck. The bubble burst with a pop, and Angel landed smoothly with the help of "lightness".

The "Queen Anne's Revenge" flashed with green phosphorescence again, and its figure quickly disappeared on the sea. In less than half a minute, the pirates on duty on the "Future" did not even have time to load the first shell.

At the cabin door, Klein changed into formal clothes and put on his top hat again and walked to the deck. He stared at the shimmering phosphorescent sea, wondering what he was thinking.

……

In the spiritual world outlined by rich colors and color blocks of different sizes, this black ghost ship is slowly floating.

Anne, who was wearing a simple yellow dress and bare feet, was dressed exactly the same as the last time they met. She stood face to face with Bernadette, who was half a head taller than her with her mouth slightly open. She was already a little lonely, but now she was even more spiritual. The spiritual world, which cannot be seen by other creatures, is even quieter.

You... an old man who is nearly two hundred years old, and another who is even two thousand years old, what kind of feelings are you brewing here... Angel felt that he had a vague tendency to turn into a light bulb, and quietly took two steps back, farther away from the two ladies.

She thought she had figured out the relationship between the two and felt extremely embarrassed at this moment.

"Annie, I didn't expect you were still here... I thought you were already..."

It was Bernadette who spoke first. A trace of rosiness appeared on her usually plain face, and her words were somewhat choppy.

There was also an inexplicable look in Anne's golden eyes. She opened her arms, hugged this "old friend's daughter", and hugged him tightly.

Due to the difference in height and temperament, to Angel, this scene looked a bit like an embrace between mother and daughter.

Of course, Anne is the daughter.

Don't let her say this kind of thing, even thinking about it in her mind is very dangerous, so Angel immediately looked towards the spiritual world in the distance, studying the color composition of the seven-color ray of light in the sky, so as to clear her mind.

Fortunately, Anne didn't seem to want her to hear the private conversation between the two. She waved her hand lightly and built an invisible wall that separated the two parties. The conversation between the two could not reach this end, and even the light from the other side could not be heard. It's all a little blurry.

So, what is the meaning of my coming here... At this moment, Angel was somewhat doubting the meaning of his own existence.

She neither dared to walk to the edge of the deck for fear of accidentally falling into the depths of the spirit world, nor did she want to enter the inner cabin without permission. She could only walk in the middle of the deck, waiting for the end of the conversation, and kept looking around. I swept around, but couldn't find any spiritual creatures.

They won't all be scared away by the "Queen Anne's Revenge"... Also, a ghost ship equivalent to the Sequence 2 "Balancer" is docked here. Even if it does not exude hostility, most people... no, most All living things will slip away.

Glancing at the two blurry figures again, Angel yawned to show his dissatisfaction. He returned his gaze to the outside and suddenly found a black spot appearing among the distant color blocks.

It continued to grow, and soon became a ball of black pompom, quickly approaching the "Queen Anne's Revenge".

"Wait, Annie, that's my messenger!"

Seeing the appearance of the pom-pom, Angel immediately shouted to prevent the ghost ship from bombarding friendly forces.

"I can see the connection between you."

Annie's somewhat lazy voice came from the other side of the invisible wall.

pat.

The pom-pom fell on the deck, rolled and stopped in front of Angel, stretching its limbs and holding an envelope in its mouth. It was none other than the messenger of her contract, Ms. Windsor.

Could it be a letter from Klein? But I had only been away for less than ten minutes, and Wensa had obviously come from afar... Angel was a little confused. She took the envelope and did not open it immediately. Instead, she asked:

"Who sent the letter?"

Only a few acquaintances including Klein, Azik, Laura, and Elaine knew about the ritual to summon Wensa.

But the black cat just shook her head, pointed a paw at the envelope in her hand, indicating that the answer to the question was in the letter, and then immediately jumped up, leaving the black deck and floating in the air.

Its limbs were entangled, and it quickly turned into a velvet ball like before, shooting itself out like a bullet, away from the ship.

Compared to the first bird messenger who came to apply, he seems to be slower, and why should he wrap himself into a ball... With a few curses, Angel lowered his head to open the envelope, and looked back at Anne and Bernadette. Seeing that they seemed to have no intention of ending, he focused his attention on the letter.

The first sentence on the filled-in letter made her hands tremble and she almost threw the letter away:

"Angelica Sage, I'm Caterina Pellet."
