Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 731 Give You an Assistant

Sensing the undisguised scrutiny of Anne's golden eyes, the "craftsman" Sharf took two steps back in fear, and did not dare to continue observing the "Queen Anne's Revenge" in the darkness.

He instinctively felt that the girl in front of him, who looked like she could be knocked down with one hand, was stronger than the "Golden Queen"!

"I, I am Sharf."

He swallowed and replied.

The wandering life after leaving the church taught him that sometimes revealing one's identity can better protect oneself.

"..."

Anne did not speak. Her gaze swept across Charles's messy flaxen short hair, his brown eyes surrounded by puffy eye bags, and then his body that was so thin that it looked a little malnourished. After a moment, she nodded:

"Bring him up."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gangway was lowered from the side of the ship, swaying continuously in the waves, like a giant black hand waiting for the three of them to step into its palm.

Anne got on the boat without looking back, while Angel looked at Charles and signaled him to go first.

"Do you really want to go up?"

Looking at the dark and silent ghost ship, the fear in Charles' heart was finally magnified, and he asked hesitantly.

After getting the confirmation, he took a deep breath, reached into his pocket, held his last remaining magical item, and stepped out heavily with determination, stepping onto the shaking gangway.

Behind him, soft footsteps were heard, and the "Golden Queen" followed closely behind him, as if escorting a prisoner.

Strangely, as Sharf continued to move forward along the gangway, the fear and uneasiness in his heart gradually subsided, and were replaced by anticipation for the unknown. This reminded him of his thirst for knowledge after taking the potion in the Steam Church when he was young and becoming a "universalist", as well as his curiosity about the operating logic of various man-made objects.

The "ghost ship" is the most powerful creation of mankind.

Stepping onto the deck with the salty sea breeze blowing, Sharf's vision instantly became broadened. He looked around and found that the wide black wooden floor was empty as he expected, with only the black-haired girl who had just walked in front of him standing quietly by the side of the ship.

Countless large-caliber cannons were placed in a disorderly manner, and the cables hanging from the masts fluttered in the wind, sweeping across the deck from time to time, making rustling sounds.

Sure enough, the flagship of the "Golden Queen" is really a ghost ship as the legend says!

Sharf knew that to operate such a giant battleship, even without counting the combatants, it would require the cooperation of hundreds of sailors. However, there were no sailors on the deck of the black battleship that had just docked and run aground automatically. The only explanation was that it did not require any drivers or combatants.

Thinking of this, he walked to the center of the deck with some excitement, his eyes constantly moving on the main mast, the side of the ship, and the sail ropes, as if he wanted to see some unusual information from these ordinary things.

At this moment, the ropes that were not controlled by anyone were tightened one after another, and the sails were raised. The "Queen Anne's Revenge" backed away from the soft beach in a posture that was extremely difficult for an ordinary ship to do, turned around, and headed towards the open sea.

I moved by myself...

Charles' eyes lit up and he wanted to get into the cabin to see if there was someone controlling everything in secret.

Angel chuckled as he watched the excited "craftsman". He was sure that this guy, apart from being only interested in wine and women as the "Hanged Man" said, still had some qualities of a "generalist". If he was only interested in Anne after he came to the deck, instead of the "Queen Anne's Revenge", I'm afraid...

Thinking of this, Angel secretly glanced at Anne beside him. The latter just quietly watched Charles touching and looking around on the deck. She did not step forward to stop him, nor did she intend to talk to him.

"Is he really the descendant of Emperor Roselle?"

She asked in a low voice, and at the same time used the "mirror substitute" to create the scene of the two people still standing there in a daze, blocking the sound of the conversation.

Anne nodded and said:
"It's him, of course. The bloodline is already very thin. He only has three children. It's only right that it should be so after so many generations."

Could it be that apart from Bernadette, Charles and Bonois, the playboy-like Emperor Roselle actually has no illegitimate children?

Angel was a little surprised, but he felt it was very reasonable. After all, for extraordinary people, having offspring may mean the loss of extraordinary characteristics, and as a person at the pinnacle of power, Roselle would be very cautious about leaving behind bloodlines.

Moreover, I think Anne's attitude towards Charles is far worse than when she met the "mysterious queen" Bernadette again. It's because the latter is Roselle's daughter and was raised by Anne, while Charles is just the descendant of the deceased prince Charles for who knows how many generations, and they are only related by blood and... responsibility?
Thinking about this, Angel once again looked at Charles, who was not aware of the conversation between the two people not far away, and observed his hair and eye color, which were different from Bernadette and Bonois.

At this moment, she felt a dark gaze also observing the deck and the three people at the same time, but the focus seemed to be on Sharf.

Haha, it should be her. Anne was talking to her before, and then she asked me to bring Sharf here... Angel laughed secretly, thinking of the two days when he took the "Future" to the ruins of the God War. After he was promoted to a high sequence, he was finally able to sense the other party's spying.

"It's not that I don't think highly of him," Annie said suddenly, causing Angel's heart to tighten. He thought that this "Balancer" had mastered the audience's mind-reading ability. "But from the moment he stepped onto this beach, I sensed the stench of... evil spirits on him. Before we figure this out, he will be in danger."

The breath of the evil god? Was it caused by the belief in the "primitive moon"? Or was it the "Mother Tree of Desire"... Angel subconsciously opened his spiritual vision and looked at Sharf, but did not notice anything wrong.

"I have the ability to see hidden powers from the imbalance in the surrounding area. Otherwise, only the Eye of Prying Eyes can discover the abnormality in him."

Anne continued to explain.

"Is there any way to clean up this 'pollution'?"

Thinking that there was a real angel walking on the earth beside him, Angel asked curiously. "It will take some time and the corresponding preparations..."

Anne did not agree immediately, but looked to the other side of the deck.

Suddenly, a bunch of translucent soap bubbles appeared there, shining with dreamy colors in the moonlight, and a woman familiar to Angel walked out of them.

Bernadette, the "Queen of Mystery".

As expected, it was her who was spying... Angel nodded in understanding and looked at the woman who had fought alongside him a few days ago. The latter had a rare serious expression on her face. She came to Annie and whispered:

"The changes in his body are the same as those of believers who have believed in the evil god for many years. It is difficult to isolate the influence through ordinary methods..."

She also saw it, using the "Eye of Prying Eyes"... Angel thought for a moment, and took out the "Star Ring Forehead Ornament" of "Justice" Audrey from the "Mirror Space". Instead of wearing it on his head, he held it directly in his palm.

Immediately, the world in her eyes turned into countless colorful lights, and the purple in her eyes almost overflowed from her eye sockets.

Not far away, Charles was still stroking Anne's main mast, immersed in a sea of ​​countless unknown knowledge, but inside his body, a figure made of crimson light, who looked the same as him but seemed a little smaller, was maintaining synchronized movements with him.

Under the crimson moonlight shining overhead, this body was growing rapidly. It would probably not be long before it grew out of Sharf's body.

As for what would happen at that time, Angel had already seen it from countless "cases" within the church.

Loosening his forehead ornament, the low murmur in Angel's ear disappeared along with the colorful world.

“Use this item carefully so you don’t see anything you shouldn’t.” Bernadette’s calm voice came.

Angel nodded silently. Last time, the other party reminded her to pay attention to the "Master Key", and something really happened later. And after going to the "God-Forsaken Land" to kill the black-striped shadow giant scorpion, it was her advance help that allowed her to find the way back.

This "master of prophecy" has long proven the value of his words.

"What are you going to do with him?"

Angel asked curiously as he carefully put away the "Star Ring Headband".

----

At the edge of the stormy sea, the "Future" was moving forward against the wind and waves. A faint light appeared on its surface, blocking most of the heavy rain and strong winds, allowing the sailors to work normally in bad weather.

In the captain's room, "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya was looking down at a folding map that covered half of the navigation table. Suddenly, her spiritual sense was touched. She raised her head and took off her thick-framed glasses, but she saw nothing.

But a letter had appeared on the table, as if it had always been there.

It was the Queen's messenger... Cattleya was delighted, and quickly grabbed the letter, took a deep breath, opened it and began to read.

A moment later, all the sailors on the ship heard the captain's order:

“Turn the ship around and head for Bayam at full speed.

"Frank, come to my room, and don't bring any of your animals or plants with you!"

Soon, Frank, wearing overalls and with hairy arms, walked into the captain's room with a puzzled look on his face, and found his captain standing on the other side, looking at him warily.

"Captain, what's the matter?"

He forced a kind smile and asked, but accidentally revealed a stubborn mushroom stalk between his teeth.

This scene made Cattleya feel bad, but she still said solemnly:
"I will arrange an experimental assistant for you later. The only thing you have to ensure is that his life will not be in danger, and...

"Don't expose him to the moonlight."

Frank nodded in a daze. The window beside him was blown open by the strong wind. Outside the window, the crimson moonlight floated in like a veil and fell on his rough face.

----

Looking up at the gradually becoming rounder, almost full red moon, Klein held down his hat and followed the passengers off the passenger ship and stepped onto the dock of East Bailang Gulain City.

"We have finally arrived at the Southern Continent. This is the first time for both me and Klein to set foot on this unfamiliar land... He and my father in this life died in the colonial conflict here..."

This memory suddenly popped up in his mind, causing Klein to slow down his pace a little, but he quickly recovered and his steps became steady again.

Behind him, two gentlemen who also followed the passengers off the ship but kept their eyes on his back exchanged glances secretly, but were immediately discovered by Klein's "clown" intuition.

I must first get rid of these two military followers, then find a secret doll that has done a lot of evil and end my "widowed" life... He muttered, carrying his luggage and cane, and walked into the city.
