Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 730: Distributing the "Stolen Goods"

"The 'Sea Words' staff is made with the 'Ocean Singer' feature. It can release lightning, add wind blades, create corrosive rain, and allow the holder to adapt to the deep sea environment. It can be used as a magic wand to carry people flying... There are three negative effects. It will sing a song every six hours, likes to trip and whip its owner, and will attract lightning strikes during thunderstorms."

"The Star Ring Forehead Ornament has the power of the Astrologer's Beyonder characteristic. It was made into a portable ornament at the request of the client, so it needs to be added... Ahem, it can store three Starlight Prisons, which bind the target in place and restore once a day. In addition, it can gain vision to see through the hidden world around it, which allows the holder to discover secrets that even psychic vision cannot perceive. The negative effect is that when wearing it, you will hear whispers from unknown beings, which may contain valuable knowledge or fatal information."

"'Gargoyle glasses' are made from the eyes of a six-winged gargoyle. They can paralyze the target through eye contact, as if they were petrified. The effect will gradually fade, depending on the target's physical fitness. The negative effect will make the user's body heavy and their movements less agile. Moreover, looking at oneself in the mirror will also paralyze the user."

"'Personal Doctor' looks like a button, but it can only be effective if it is held in the mouth. It can help the user alleviate the effects of most diseases, but it cannot cure existing chronic diseases. The negative effect is that the user loses the sense of taste for a period of time..."

Seeing Angel return from the mirror world, Alger introduced the magical items on the table to Angel one by one.

There are nine in total!
This was the power of a "craftsman". Even if he was only Sequence 6, even if he didn't have the support of the Church of Steam or even the sponsorship of some civilian forces, he could still accumulate so many magical items on his own. If he decided to run away desperately, a Sequence 5 "Hanged Man" might not be able to stop him...

Angel thought about it and tried a few of the items, then his eyes stopped on three familiar pieces of equipment. They were the "Word of the Sea" walking stick that "World" Klein had ordered, the "Star Ring Forehead Ornament" that "Justice" Audrey was said to be still waiting for, and the "Hanged Man" Alger's gargoyle glasses.

It turns out that this guy has already completed the production, but has been dragging his feet on giving it to you. If Klein's "Crazy Adventurer" mode knew about it, you might become a new member of the Tarot Club, in the form of extraordinary characteristics... Angel looked at the descendant of Roselle Gustav, and saw that he honestly spread his hands on the table without any other small movements, so he retracted his gaze.

The other magical items also have their own characteristics. Although their sequences are not high, they are obviously carefully selected excellent equipment with small side effects or the ability to offset each other's negative effects. Angel thought for a moment and decided on the distribution method.

"Give the three items that already have owners to their respective owners. Of the remaining six, I will take three, leaving two for Charles. You take one, but you can choose first."

She did not deprive Sharf of all his property, which would undoubtedly arouse the most intense resistance from the "craftsmen". Even if they did not show it now, they might not cooperate honestly in the future.

This "generosity" made Sharf feel relieved. He thought that since he had no resistance at all, all his magical items would be taken away by the other party, but he didn't expect that there would be two left in the end. Even if the remaining ones were picked out, they would still give him a certain ability to protect himself.
The Hanged Man Alger nodded secretly, expressing his satisfaction with Miss Queen's allocation. What he was most worried about was that this powerful Tarot Club member would completely offend the Craftsman regardless of the possibility of future cooperation. However, such an allocation showed that she had thought it through and fully taken care of everyone's needs.

"Then I'll choose this one."

Alger first picked up his own pair of "Gargoyle Glasses", and then reached out to grasp a short knife named "Poison Blade". It can add different poisons to each attack, and the negative impact will make the user feel drunk and unstable. This can be countered by the "Sailor" way's adaptability to the shaking of the ship, which is almost equivalent to no effect.

He had believed that Miss "Queen" would leave at least one item for him, so he had already taken a fancy to it and chose it without hesitation.

Angel also picked out three magical items that belonged to her. They were all made with Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 8 or Sequence 7, and were worth between one thousand and two thousand pounds. She handed them directly to the Hanged Man Alger, asking him to sell them in the underground market of Bayam or trade them to other members of the Tarot Club.

She felt that as a demigod, selling these "low-grade" magical items would affect her image... There is a term for this, called "idol burden", I think it was Emperor Roselle who said it... Alger laughed secretly, but did not dare to show it. He just silently put away these magical items and watched Sharf take back the two remaining items.

"What about those extraordinary characteristics?"

Seeing that the table was empty, Alger continued to ask, looking towards the corner that might give him a nightmare tonight. The three "corpses" piled there had gradually begun to exude extraordinary power that was visible to the naked eye.

"I want the 'Wrathful Soul', and the rest is yours."

Angel answered without hesitation.

She had long noticed the power of the other two members of the "Rose School" who died of illness without using any abilities. One was in the shape of black and green fangs, obviously a relic of the "werewolf", and the other gradually formed a bright red, heart-like translucent crystal, which was the extraordinary characteristic of the "vampire".

They are all Sequence 7, and together they can probably be sold for a little over 2000 pounds. This is considered a reward for the information I provided... Alger understood and nodded, then walked forward and carefully picked up the three Beyonder characteristics from beside the horribly dead corpse. He gave the characteristic of "Wrathful Soul" to Miss "Queen", and simply sealed the remaining two and stuffed them into his pocket, patting his hands with satisfaction.

This trip was quite rewarding. Not only did I get my glasses back, but I also got a weapon that would cost around 2000 pounds, as well as an extraordinary characteristic of the same value. I only paid the price of staying in Bayam for a few days and doing some reconnaissance... He looked at the "Ghost" with some envy, and consoled himself in his heart. Although his teammates always gained much more than he did, he did make a lot, so it was hard for him to feel jealous.

Every allocation can achieve this precise effect. Could it be that Miss "Queen" is not as... simple as she seems?
He couldn't help thinking. After the "division of the spoils" was completed, the "craftsman" Sharf looked at Angel nervously. He knew from the previous conversation that he was going to be taken away by this beautiful woman who looked a bit like the legendary "Golden Queen". He was panicking but also had some yearning in his heart.

"By the way," Angel felt his gaze and chuckled, as if he had just thought of it, and said, "I changed my decision. I will not send you to your residence on the island of Delinius, but take you to a ghost ship."

"Leaving the land?"

This was obviously beyond Sharf's expectations. The smile on his face gradually faded, his expression slowly twisted, and his tone became a little grim:

"why?"

Angel's reaction was not unexpected. She had sensed his unreasonable frankness when he asked for blood as a tracking medium. And in the process of trying out those magical items earlier, Angel also discovered the last magical item that Charles had not handed over and kept close to him through the "eye of mystery" provided by Audrey's customized "star ring forehead ornament".

He concealed something, pretended to compromise, and even showed a "lustful" trait. Maybe he was thinking that he could get through tonight anyway so that he could get in touch with the "Original Moon" believers again... Angel thought about it and did not rush to answer the other party's questions. Instead, he summoned several invisible silk threads and stretched them directly into Sharf's clothes. While making him shiver in surprise, he took out a palm-sized brass human-shaped statue.

Its limbs were lifelike, but its face had no carved facial features. A trace of blood was oozing from the end of one of its upper limbs, corresponding exactly to the position where Charles had taken his own blood.

There is no doubt that by tracking or cursing the target through those drops of blood, it will only correspond to this statue, not to the person himself. This is similar to the effect of the substitute doll I made. It is not very clever, but it can easily deceive people who do not have this knowledge...

Angel sneered, threw the statue into the mirror space in front of Sharf, and then said:

"As a pirate, I don't think I need to explain anything to you, and you've already betrayed our last trust... Now, you can either try to resist and die, or follow me obediently."

Hearing such overbearing words, Sharf's face gradually turned gloomy, but after a moment he smiled helplessly, with his hands hanging down, making a gesture of no longer resisting.

He didn't dare to resist when he had double-digit magical items just now. Now he only had two pieces of equipment that the other party knew the use of. How could he dare to fight? Not to mention the witch in front of him who could kill him and the three members of the "Rose School" with just a thought, he couldn't even beat the "Ocean Singer" who was eyeing him covetously.

Since he couldn't beat her, he could only join her. A cooperative "craftsman" usually wouldn't be killed. At most, he would just devote himself to her... Thinking of this, Sharf's heart began to stir again.

After using black flames to clean the house and burn the three corpses that no longer had extraordinary characteristics, Angel asked Alger to leave first, and dragged Sharf into the mirror world. They soon arrived at the west side of Blue Mountain Island where Bayam was, and appeared next to a puddle on the beach.

Under the crimson moonlight, the sea surface was an eerie purple. Not far from the beach, a huge warship with a black exterior and towering masts slowly approached. It ignored the reefs near the coast and sailed onto the beach in a stranded posture. The balance-shaped bow carving almost stopped in front of Angel and Charles.

Compared to the calm Angel, the "craftsman" Sharf was stunned and almost forgot that he was still a prisoner. He stared at the huge ship in front of him with shining eyes.

"Is this you, your ghost ship?"

Although he was shocked, he finally did not forget to express a little respect to the "Golden Queen" beside him.

"Is this the 'craftsman' you were talking about?"

He was answered by another clear but majestic voice. A slender figure appeared in front of the two of them. She was wearing a light yellow dress and was walking barefoot on the loose gravel. It was Anne, who had fought side by side with Angel not long ago.

At this moment, she was frowning as she looked at the startled descendant of Emperor Roselle, Sharf, whose bloodline was so sparse that it was almost invisible.
