Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 549 Your captain is missing?
"You said there's something wrong with the black cat Wensa, so you shouldn't use it in the future?"

Glancing at Anderson, who was sitting in the corner, trying to take out cigarettes and matches several times before secretly stuffing them back into his pocket, Klein asked quietly.

In fact, what the two were talking about was not a secret topic, and with the hearing of the Sequence 5 "Reaper", as long as he made a sound in the mouth of this sea monster, it would not escape his ears, but speaking in a lower voice can always give people a sense of possession. The illusion of privacy.

"It helped Caterina deliver a letter to me."

Angel replied with a dark face.

Although Wensa said that she and the other party were old acquaintances, the matter was not settled yet for her... The black cat had to be left out for at least half a month, right?
"Okay, let's use another messenger lady first..."

Klein replied casually and handed the suitcase belonging to Angel to the other party. An activated charm was thoughtfully stuck on it to make it waterproof and prevent the clothes inside from getting soaked.

"So, you are staying with this 'strongest hunter' these days?"

After using the "deep sea water membrane" to remedy the situation, Angel, who sat aside with his suitcase in his arms, asked, the volume returned to normal, so that he was not afraid of being heard by the other party.

"Well, I took the initiative to ask for his help. I thought that my bad luck would disappear after leaving that sea area, but I didn't expect that I almost died there as soon as I landed on Tuscat Island..."

----

Swimming out of the sea monster's mouth, the three of them quickly landed on a remote desert island. There were not even plants here. The rugged rocks were beaten by the waves, as if they were about to sink to the bottom of the sea at any time.

As they climbed up the rope ladder to the deck, a group of sailors came up to them as if they had seen a savior.

Angel asked Klein casually and managed to see his face stiffen slightly.

"The one who caused you to lose thirty pounds?"

In the end, the unlucky hunter paid 1500 pounds, plus clues about a magical item, to get the chance to solve the problem from Klein, and finally used the help of an Extraordinary through the path of a "monster" living on Olavi Island. , erasing the bad luck imposed on him by the "Angel of Destiny" Ouroleus.

"He's different from you. He's a little, well, not very gregarious..."

After receiving Klein's letter detailing the disappearance of "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina, Angel rushed to the meeting point without stopping and joined him to investigate. He thought that Klein also told the story of the incident. Anderson, who was accompanying him, didn't expect this hunter to seem unclear about anything.

"We're almost there."

From his introduction, Angel learned that this "strongest hunter" was almost killed on the spot by an accidental explosion under the shroud of bad luck, that he randomly hunted a few pirates to make money and got into trouble with a certain demigod, and that he encountered " Sui Die Hao" and other adventures.

He pursed his lips and said.

Anderson put his hand on his forehead to block the slanting sunlight and squinted for a moment. He suddenly became alert and looked at Angel and Klein.

But they quickly recognized the recently famous "crazy adventurer" Gehrman Sparrow. Their welcoming expressions were a little stiff, as if they were thinking of the adventurer and the "female pirate generals" who were not very good. rumors.

Perhaps he was worried that if he smoked here, the sea monster would sneeze into the deep sea. Anderson stuffed the cigarette into his pocket for the third time, leaned over and answered proactively.

On the other side of the island, there was a sailboat painted in gold and equipped with a huge main gun.

"That's the Golden Dream?"

While the three were chatting, the "Golden Dream" had discovered them and quickly sent a small boat to come over to greet them.

"There has been some cooperation," Angel replied, looking at Klein, "Didn't you tell him the specific situation?"

"What is your relationship with that 'Vice Admiral Iceberg'?"

Anderson answered immediately, but changed his words under Klein's cold gaze and used a more neutral description.

he asked in a low voice.

Then, someone else recognized "Shipbreaker" Angelica Sage, and their surprise at her beauty was quickly overshadowed by concern for the safety of their own ship, with doubts in their eyes.

In the end, only a few senior officials of the "Golden Dream" stood out and faced the three people. The first one was Angel's old acquaintance, "Blaze" Daniz.

The hunter, who was also unlucky, his eyes lit up when he saw Klein, and when he saw Angel beside him, he smiled happily. But when he finally laid his eyes on Anderson's face, his eyes widened and he spoke. shouted:

"Anderson Hood! Why are you here?"

Do they know each other? Pirate hunter and pirate?

As soon as a strange thought came into Angel's mind, Daniz continued loudly:
"This guy is not a good person. He was always attacked by various passing pirates in the Sea of ​​Mist because of his unbridled speech, and then those guys became his bounty."

"Isn't that what a hunter should do? I heard that you were an 'arsonist' a few years ago. Are you still at Sequence 7 now?"

Anderson sneered and retorted, immediately angering Daniz. The latter's blond hair trembled like a raging flame. He looked around and saw that he had a significant numerical advantage. He felt more confident and continued:

"You may not know that he was born in the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. He studied at a church school in Lundberg and was classmates with the captain. He was kicked out because of his poor grades and failed exams many times. Only then was he reduced to the current position. Treasure Hunter."

Hearing this, the sailors around him showed expressions of disdain.

You know, they are the "top students" taught by "Lieutenant General Iceberg" every night!
As for their identity as treasure hunters, they deliberately ignored them.

Anderson's expression changed slightly as he was stared at by all kinds of eyes. He was silent for a moment, his eyes swept over the faces of each sailor, and he suddenly laughed. "But I pulled your captain's hair back in school."

He spoke in a calm tone.

The deck of the Golden Dream suddenly became quiet.

Seeing that a boatload of sailors seemed to be preparing to cut the strongest hunter into pieces, while Klein was holding the air of a "crazy adventurer" at the side, Angel could only cough lightly, interrupting everyone's glare, and asked:

"Where did your captain disappear?"

These words seemed to wake up the sailors of the "Golden Dream" and remind them of the most important thing at the moment. Daniz nodded quickly, and his distorted expression returned to normal, and he looked at a man Dai Niz next to him. A burly man wearing a monocle.

The latter took the initiative to step forward and introduce himself:

"Hello, I'm the first mate of this ship, 'Gourmet' Blue Walls."

The pirate, who had a bounty of up to 6200 pounds, introduced other main crew members and led everyone into the inner cabin and to the door of the captain's cabin.

"The captain entered her room three days ago to start research. The room was locked and the windows were closed. We usually don't disturb her, but until two days later, she never appeared again..."

Listening to the first mate's story, Angel entered this spacious room.

In addition to the common chart tables, desks, deck chairs and other furniture, the most common items inside are bookshelves and the books stacked on them.

"These were dinners and beers brought by sailors before she started her research, but she didn't touch them at all...so we suspect she disappeared that night."

There is a dinner on the messy desk, the toast has become dry, and the bacon fat has solidified. Next to it are pens, ink, various white papers for writing notes, and a thick parchment book.

"Grossell's Travels"...

Angel saw the title written in ancient Fusac script and immediately recalled Edwina's introduction when he first came to the ship.

Indestructible... Found in a deep-sea shipwreck... Multiple owners have mysteriously disappeared...

Could it be that "Lieutenant General Iceberg" Edwina has become one of them?

Angel picked up the book and flipped it back, quickly seeing the end of the previously recorded story.

Of course, this does not mean that the story has reached its ending, but that the parchment after that is as if it is stuck and cannot be unfolded, so we can only see "Grossell" gathering the team and preparing to challenge the "King of the North" That scene, and then it... broke out of context.

But this time, she was surprised to find that two more pages of the book that were originally firmly glued could be opened!
This unusual scene made Angel wary. She opened it carefully and quickly browsed the contents. She soon discovered that this was not some evil change, but a real "continuation".

The new content tells the story of a pirate lady who was lost on the ice field. She escaped the pursuit of the "King of the North", met and joined Grossel's team, and prepared to challenge the ice dragon together to avenge herself.

This couldn't be...it was written by Edwina, right? The purpose of her research is to write her own story into this travelogue that has thousands of years of history?

After trying to fiddle with the remaining pages, Angel found that they were still firmly attached, like a page of thickened parchment.

She handed "Grossell's Travels" to Klein, who was looking at the draft papers, then looked at Daniz and asked:
"Did Edwina say she was going to study this book this time?"

She already had some suspicion that the other party's disappearance was related to this travelogue.

Unexpectedly, Danitz did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at the first mate "Gourmet" Blue, "Flower Tie" Jordan and others beside him, and then shook their heads together.

"we do not know."

Their expressions seemed to say: We never ask questions about advanced research.

This is too reasonable. Do you still have the nerve to laugh at Anderson... Angel curled his lips and thought with some shame that he usually looked like this.

"I have some ideas," Klein suddenly said at this moment, "Prepare candles and ritual items for me. I want to pray to the hidden existence."

Pray to Mr. Fool?
Angel felt enlightened. She opened her suitcase and took out the usual candles, Holy Night powder and other materials, handed them to Klein, drove other sailors, including Anderson, out of the captain's cabin, and met Klein They exchanged a look of understanding, and then left the room, closing the door behind them.

Only then did she realize that in addition to senior members such as "Gourmet" Blue, the corridor was also crowded with other sailors.

They all looked here with worried and expectant eyes, waiting for the final result.

It seems that they all care about their captain. It can be seen that although their purpose is not that simple, they are much more normal than the sailors on "Vice Admiral Disease" Tracy's ship... Angel withdrew his gaze and asked a female sailor to lead the way. I found an unoccupied room, changed out of my sea-soaked dress, and put on the spare white women's shirt and beige slim-fitting trousers that I had in my suitcase.

This outfit is somewhat similar to the one she once wore when she pretended to be "Lieutenant General Sickness" Tracy, highlighting her feminine charm without losing practicality.

After putting on his short boots and transferring the weapons and charms to his body, Angel returned to the door of the captain's cabin and was surprised to find that the atmosphere here was a bit strange.

"...Isn't it that the one you should be most wary of is Gehrman Sparrow, the legendary adventurer who slept with all the pirate generals?"

Anderson Hood was lowering his voice and whispering like a demon. The sailors standing beside him, including "Fire" Daniz, nodded involuntarily.
