Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 752 After the Tarot Meeting
This matter spread very quickly. Mr. Azik took Klein and me to the new "Black Tulip" on Saturday, and on Monday, another pirate general got the news... Angel lamented the speed at which these rumors spread at sea, and asked cautiously:
"What do the rumors say?"

Cattleya pushed up her thick glasses and told the news she got from secret channels:
“Two days ago, when ‘Admiral of Hell’ Ludwell and his fleet were trying to approach the Raging Sea to search for the treasure of the God of Death, their flagship was invaded by two men and one woman. Among them were ‘Golden Queen’ Angelica Thatch, who had blown up half of the flagship, and ‘Crazy Adventurer’ Gehrman Sparrow, and a ‘Death Archon’. However, Ludwell did not put up any resistance, but surrendered and was taken away from the scene. His flagship was turned into palm-sized fragments that floated into the depths of the Raging Sea that he had been thinking about.

"As for the remaining fleet and men, they were taken over by Mirella, who called himself the 'Messenger of Death'. He announced that Ludwell had used his life to repent for angering the 'Golden Queen', and the remaining ships and crew would not become enemies of the king of the sea..."

The "Death Messenger" who took over was a smart man. He knew that even if he continued to be stubborn, he would not be able to do anything to me, and that I might find him one night and end up like Ludwell, so he simply used public channels to give in... Angel muttered, and when everyone else looked at him, he nodded and admitted:
"I was the one who destroyed the 'Black Tulip', but 'Admiral of Hell' Ludwell is still alive, but...he's not in a good condition."

She wanted to say that this unfortunate pirate general had become a puppet, but then she thought that Klein would need to continue playing the role of "Puppet Master" in this capacity, so she lied a little.

Not in good condition? How can you be in good condition after becoming a "secret puppet"? That is basically equivalent to death, and even the soul cannot be liberated... Cattleya, who knew a little more, had her eyes flickering under the thick glasses, and did not refute the words of the "Queen".

From the intelligence she had obtained and her own knowledge, she could guess that it was the "World" Gehrman Sparrow who turned the "Admiral of Hell" into a secret doll, and it was the "Death Archon" who suppressed the pirate general to voluntarily die, and it was naturally the "Queen" who easily destroyed the "Black Tulip" that was protected by many rituals and items and was indestructible in naval battles.

The Queen deliberately skipped over the third person, seemingly unwilling to mention this Sequence 2 companion. Could it be because of him, no, “He” is also Mr. Fool’s favorite?
As the Hermit pondered, the Hanged Man, who had left Bayam before the weekend and had not received any relevant information, also fell into a state that could not be described as shock or emotion.

Starting with Vice Admiral Disease, one after another, the evil pirate generals and their flagships fell into the hands of this Tarot Club member, of course with the help of her magical ghost ship and the "World" Gehrman Sparrow, but according to Alger's speculation, the act of dismantling the ship could only be done by Angelica Thatch alone.

No wonder my "Blue Avenger" showed some strange behaviors, becoming timid and sensitive while she was exploring the nameless island and looking for the "Gazer". As a ghost ship from the Tudor era, it saw that the "Ship Destroyer" could easily destroy itself, so its attitude changed?

Alger's thoughts diverged, and he gained a lot.

Maybe when I have time, I can ask Miss Queen to board my ship again, and use this threat to communicate with it, so that it will reveal all its secrets. That means many hidden treasures of the Tudor Empire, and power at my fingertips... Well, after hearing that the Blood Emperor actually had a child with the Original Witch, I feel like I don't respect Him that much...

The rest of the group underestimated the importance of the news due to their lack of knowledge about the "Pirate General", especially "Sun" Derrick, who had never even seen the sea, let alone a pirate.

Only the "magician" Fors fell into deep self-doubt. She suddenly realized that there were only a few pirate generals left that she could write about. Perhaps the "Great Adventurer Hermann Series" of her pen pal would soon reach a creative bottleneck.

Do I have to write about the stories of those pirate kings? They are all demigods. Will they find me through clues one day and kill me to silence me... No, that's not right. The "Queen" is already a demigod. She is the most dangerous factor!
Thinking of this, Fors shrank her neck and hid herself in the shadow of Justice, avoiding the sight of the Queen on her other side.

The latter was looking over in confusion, not understanding why the "Magician" reacted so strongly. At this time, "Justice" Audrey suddenly spoke:

"Dear Mr. Fool, I request to communicate with the Queen alone."

After the Fool signaled, she immediately turned around and bowed deeply to Angel, with regret that was difficult to conceal in her tone:
"I apologize again, Miss Queen. My overly eager curiosity almost exposed some of your secrets to the enemy."

It turned out to be an apology. I thought she had really found out something and was about to threaten him with something like "Ms. Queen, you don't want Mr. World to know your secret, do you?" Angel muttered, and replied in a relaxed tone:
"This was not your original intention. It was the work of the 'audience' demigod Hvin Rambis. I won't blame you too much for it."

"But I am still willing to pay a price for this matter. You can make any request within my ability, such as monetary compensation..."

Audrey insisted on her own opinion.

Money... Given the wealth of the Hall family, her promise would definitely mean tens of thousands of pounds, but I'm not short of money right now, so I might consider keeping it for now...

Angel thought for a moment and agreed to Justice's request. The latter secretly glanced at The Fool and saw that He had no objection. He breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"In addition, Stephen Hampres, who was the one who arranged for Hvin Rambis to hypnotize me, is going to visit my psychology salon this weekend. I believe this is an order from Rambis, who is behind him, to test me and see the progress of my investigation."

It seems that these people are a little impatient. This is a good opportunity to give them a warning. If Hvin Rambis comes in person, killing him directly is also an option. The problem is how to get Miss Justice out of this matter, otherwise the Psychological Alchemist Society will definitely suspect the noble lady who has been in contact with them during this period...

After a moment of silence, Angel said:

"You agree to it first, and then I will cooperate with your actions."

————After returning to Backlund's mansion from the gray fog, Angel did not leave the study immediately. Instead, he half-lay on the single sofa that could be used as a recliner with an adjustable backrest, and sighed a little tiredly.

In the past few days, she traveled back and forth to various places through the "Mirror World". She went to Bayam to solve the problem of the "craftsman" Sharf, went to the southern continent to accompany Klein to attack the "Admiral of Hell", witnessed the fall of the "Artificial Death God", and finally explored the "City of the Dead" Calderon. She was almost caught by the "Angel of Destiny" and did not even have time to digest this information.

Compared to me, Klein, who also has to play the role of "Master of Secret Puppetry" and complete the arms deal in the southern continent, is more tired, and he hasn't even been promoted to a demigod yet... Thinking of this, Angel sighed again.

Tomorrow is June 6th, exactly one year after I "traveled" to this world, and it is also the 28th birthday of "Angel Granger"... Does he, who is so busy, still remember this?

It doesn't matter if you forget it. Originally, this was just a fake identity...

With his mind a little confused, Angel slumped down on the sofa. He was about to take a nap in the warm but slanting sunlight outside the window when he suddenly felt a spiritual touch and looked towards the desk.

In the spiritual vision, a black cat more than half a meter long landed lightly on the table, threw down the envelope in its mouth, and looked at Angel with its blue pupils.

This cat still knows to come back... Well, I haven't used it for too long. Maybe it has found another owner and abandoned me?
Angel complained inwardly, stood up, took the letter and glanced at it. He found that it was from Triss, so he did not rush to open it. Instead, he looked at the black cat Wenza who was about to leave and asked:

"What exactly do you, the witch sect, plan to do with this escaped member? Katarina should be obliged to capture her, but I see she seems to be happy with the current situation?"

She told Triss the summoning spell of Wensa, with the intention of observing Wensa and the "White Saint" Katarina behind him. But Triss had sent letters several times using Wensa over such a long time. Katarina should have gotten the other party's address long ago, and even locked on this witch who is not even a demigod at present.

But as a high-ranking member of the "Witch Sect", she did not take any action.

"They are just observing and evaluating not only Triss Chick, but also you..."

The black cat answered the question irrelevantly, and her tone was sharp like a cat's voice, sounding like a woman who was still in the voice change period.

I knew it would only answer specious questions, but I could also get a glimpse of Katarina's thoughts from it. For example, she might be "investing" in me, but she was afraid of conflicts with the "Witch Cult" mission. After all, that side truly possessed the gods and was suppressed by the "Original Witch" Chick...

Thinking of the Original Witch, Angel's mind suddenly recalled what the Fool said at the Tarot Conference, and he suddenly asked:

"Did you know that 'Primordial' has a daughter?"

She didn't dare mention the "Blood Emperor" for fear of exposing the source of the information.

Wensa had turned around and was about to leave, but when he heard this, he turned back with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

----

West Balam, beach near Berens Harbor.

At this time, the southern continent had entered winter and it was night early. There was no sign of any human activity in the suburbs. A black shadow flashed in the sky not far away, and after a moment, it fell onto the beach at an extremely fast speed, but did not stir up any sand or make any sound.

The black shadow faded away, and a man wearing a long windbreaker, a half-high silk hat, and carrying a black suitcase appeared in the original place. He walked on the slightly damp gravel under his feet, and his gray eyes looked towards the southwest.

After a moment, the man with a straight nose and a high hairline adjusted his hat and disappeared into the darkness again, wrapped in it and moving forward quickly.

The crimson moon overhead struggled to penetrate the clouds, casting a ray of light onto the beach, as if blessing the man who appeared in an instant and disappeared just as quickly.
