Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 928 I've never felt happy traveling
Looking at the "magician" Fors Wall in the corner of the tavern, whose expression kept changing and whose eyes were gleaming, and feeling the regular changes in the spiritual world around him, Angel laughed secretly and controlled the "mirror world" to interfere with the other party's "travel".

She naturally knew why the other party wanted to escape. Whether it was because of the agency publishing of the "Angelica" novel series, or because she accidentally said something misleading like "Mr. World, please take me on a trip" at the Tarot Club two weeks ago, this Beyonder, who was only a Sequence 6 "Recorder", would have a certain degree of fear of meeting the "Queen" in reality.

But in the continuous development and use of the witch's core abilities, Angel discovered that this "mirror world" that overlaps with the reality and the spiritual world and seems to be completely different in nature, but is actually closely connected to both worlds, is essentially also a part of the spiritual world. Control over the spiritual world can interfere with the operation of the mirror world to a certain extent, and conversely, the mirror world can also have an impact on the spiritual world.

Although she is currently unable to restrict the demigod-level "God of Death" and "Apprentice" from traveling through the spirit world, it is not a problem for her to block the "travel" ability that a "recorder" has reproduced.

This could be seen from Fors's sudden confusion and then panic.

She almost cried, so cute... no, so pitiful. No wonder she had to cover her face with a hood. Otherwise, her somewhat mature but timid appearance would easily attract others' covetousness in Bayam. Of course, if anyone dared to approach her and forcefully chat her up, the result would be nothing more than being beaten up by various recording abilities and becoming the object of others' ridicule... Angel's mouth curled up slightly, and he no longer looked at the Tarot Club member who was not only a little afraid of him, but walked to the bar instead. He ignored the secret codes and gestures and directly said to the bartender:
"Is that 'Unfair' Derek here?"

Unlike most drunkards who were merely obsessed with Angel's beauty but failed to recognize that she was the "Golden Queen" worth 45 pounds, the bartender obviously remembered the distorted portraits on the wanted posters at the door of the bar. There was a hint of panic on his intoxicated expression, but he was reluctant to wake up from the fantasy of having an ambiguous relationship with her.

It was not until Angel had restrained his charm that he regained consciousness. Just as he was about to say something, a shrill voice came from behind him:

"The 'Golden Queen' who is both beautiful and powerful is visiting. Even if I'm not here, I will rush back immediately."

Angel had already noticed the short, brown-haired man who looked to be over 40 years old coming down from the second floor, and his eyes immediately moved to him.

"Okay, go about your business. I'll talk to her alone."

The appearance of this "unfair man" with a reward of 5500 pounds on his wanted poster did not attract the attention of those drinkers who were always thinking about hunting pirates. Instead, they naturally turned their eyes away, drank, played cards, and started to busy themselves with their own affairs.

This is some kind of "twist" of words, turning one's own words into orders for others to follow. Combined with his bounty and nickname, he should be the "Corrupted Baron" of Sequence 6 of the "Lawyer" Pathway... Angel guessed silently, and walked through the stairwell with "Injustice" Derek to a lounge on the second floor that was luxuriously decorated and did not look like a bar. As soon as he stood still, he asked straight to the point:

"Can you contact Nast, the 'King of the Five Seas'?"

Derek looked at Angel and was stunned for a moment by her beauty, but thanks to Angel's good control of her charm, he quickly reacted and replied:
"Yes, both here and on the Earl's ship are equipped with radio transceivers... May I ask what you want to contact His Excellency the Earl about?"

On the Black Emperor, Nast always called himself Earl White Maple, and his men also called him that, instead of using terms such as "Captain" or "Boss" which he considered vulgar.

Angel was not surprised that radio became popular at sea, especially among pirates who were not under official control.

While the cities in the northern continent were still clinging to communication cables due to the huge initial investment and were unwilling to invest in radio research and development, the pirate generals had already installed radio transceiver equipment, which had a relatively short communication distance at that time, on almost every ship of theirs, regardless of the impact of the violent and changeable weather on the radio waves. From this point of view, the pirates, who had no historical baggage, entered the new era earlier than the major powers.

"Just tell me that he contacted me before and I agreed."

Angel answered, gathering his scattered thoughts, not wanting to let this intelligence officer, who ostensibly belonged to the "King of the Five Seas", know too much, lest he sell the information to more people.

"Yes, I will contact the Black Emperor right away. Please wait here for a moment."

"The Unjust" Derek asked Angel to wait in the lounge, while he went into an office deep on the second floor. While Angel was monitoring him through the mirror, he found a radio receiver and used the matching code book to connect with another machine whose location was unknown.

Perhaps because he knew that nothing could be hidden from the "Golden Queen" who was a High-Sequence Beyonder, he did all of this without any reservations. The only thing he did was the method of using the code book, which he kept in his mind, so that Angel had no way of knowing it.

A moment later, he returned with a piece of paper with the deciphered information and handed it respectfully to Angel. The latter glanced at it and found that the returned telegram was very simple. It only had a location based on several islands in the Sonia Sea, using distance and angle to locate the location.

Then, Derek thoughtfully found a map, made a simple positioning according to the information in the telegram, pointed to the location on it and said:
"The Earl's fleet should be here. You can go directly to him."

Fleet? But I remember Bernadette said that only the flagship "Black Emperor" was missing. Is he lying to me, or is he not clear about Nast's specific actions... Angel's thoughts kept flowing, but his expression remained calm. He nodded and turned to leave the lounge.

Behind her, the letter and map in the hands of Drake the Injustice were burning in silent black flames and turned into drifting ashes. The expression of this "Corrupted Baron" was pale, and his hands remained in a clenched position, not daring to move.

He clearly felt that if this flame touched his body, he would be killed instantly, and the men next door might not even be able to hear his calls for help.

Laughing secretly at the intelligence officer's cowardice, Angel returned to the first floor and looked towards the corner of the bar. He was surprised to find that the hooded "magician" Fors was still there and did not take the opportunity to leave. Although she blocked the nearby spiritual world through the mirror world, she did not tie up the other party's hands and feet. Could it be that this "recorder" used "teleportation" to travel all day and could not even move his feet to escape?
She looked around and found that all the drinkers were still under the distorted orders of the "Unfair One" and did not look at her. She simply walked towards Fors and prepared to have a good talk with her about how to deal with the pirated novels on the market that had a lot of waste added.

At this moment, Angel suddenly felt a slight disturbance in the sealed spirit world. It seemed that someone was trying to enter the bar through "teleportation", but the other party's ability to travel through the spirit world was obviously not much stronger than Fors, and he was quickly "excluded" and fell outside the building.

A few seconds later, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a thin figure wearing a half-top hat and a black windbreaker stepped into the bar. He looked around and his eyes fell on Fors in the corner.

……

Klein breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the young magician whom he had left in Bayam two days ago sitting in the bar without any missing limbs, and the spiritual thread was floating naturally around her body.

But the changes in the spiritual world around him still made him somewhat suspicious. If he had not done a divination outside the door to confirm that there were no ambushes or hidden dangers inside, he would probably have found a place to walk four steps backwards to rise into the gray fog, and then entered the bar with the "Blasphemy Card" and "Poseidon's Scepter" to find out what was going on.

Coming up to the novelist, who was cowering under his hood, he asked in a low, cold voice:

“Can we go now?” He was actually quite curious about what the other party had seen and experienced in Bayam over the past two days, and how he planned to turn them into plots in the story. He knew that if he asked, the other party would definitely answer honestly, but this did not fit in with the character of the crazy adventurer, so he had to give up.

"Uh, ready..."

Fors then raised her head and looked around, and finally her gaze stopped on "German Sparrow" who was standing in front of her and almost blocking everyone's sight, and answered carefully.

"By the way, I just met Miss Queen here."

As if she remembered something, Fors added quickly.

"The Queen"... Angel? Why is she here?

Klein was stunned for a moment, then he thought that the other party would try to contact Duchess Georgina in the next few days to inquire about the "Ghost Empire". Perhaps he came to Bayam to investigate this matter. So he nodded slightly and did not answer. Instead, he pressed his left hand, whose glove had become transparent, on the other party's shoulder.

By the way, the spiritual world here is disturbed and restricted...

At this moment, he thought of the strange phenomenon he had just encountered, but found that the "teleportation" process was extremely smooth, as if this restriction had quietly disappeared at some point.

Could it be that Angel did this to prevent Fors from escaping? Well, why would she want to restrict Miss Magician, who is also a member of the Tarot Club?
A strange thought popped up in his mind. Klein looked back as he saw the scenery around him turn into blocks of color. The blocks of color gradually became darker, as if he sensed something.

A pair of purple eyes looked over here with a smile.

He suddenly understood why Fors had been shrinking a little.

----

In the middle of the night, Hugh Dilcher returned to the East End home she shared with Fors, carrying a thick envelope of cash.

After the incident with Viscount Stratford, the two of them moved out of their original residence and rented a house here to avoid being affected by the subsequent changes in that incident. Fortunately, both MI9 and the royal family gave up tracking the two of them after a brief investigation. Today, she finally got the merits she had accumulated before, and she can choose from some rewards.

Following Fors's advice, Xio decisively chose the gold pound instead of the "Judge" potion formula. On the surface, this would make MI9 think that she had given up on improving her strength as quickly as possible and giving up on investigating the cause of her father's death. But secretly, she had actually reserved the formula sold by Miss Queen at the Tarot Club this week, and was just waiting for the gold pound to complete the transaction.

This is much more convenient than those underground gatherings where one has to go through alleys and cover one's face. I can trade with all kinds of powerful Beyonders while sitting at home, and no one can see anything unusual... She muttered as she pushed open the door to the living room and found that Fors, who had bought the Beyonder trait of "Judge" for her in advance, was lying on the sofa with his legs on the armrests, one hand on his forehead and the other casually swung to his side, as if he was in some kind of negative emotion.

"Fors, I used my merits to exchange for 2500 pounds. Together with what I saved before, I can already exchange it for the 'Judge' formula. I will return you some money...Fors?"

While calling out her friend's name, Xio moved closer and curiously poked her belly with her finger, causing Fors to curl up and let out a whimper that was either pain or a suppressed laugh.

"Didn't you let Mr. World take you on a trip? You were so happy when you left two days ago. What happened now?"

"..."

Fors seemed to whisper something, but Xio couldn't hear it clearly, so he had to move closer, almost putting his ear to the other person's mouth.

"I... never feel happy traveling..."

This time, she finally heard Fors's complaint.

----

In the endless storm on the east side of the Sonia Sea, Angel's figure appeared on the deck of a huge black three-masted sailing ship.

In an instant, the heavy rain seemed to have entered another world different from reality, and not a single drop continued to fall on the ship.

The pirates who were working on the deck in the rain did not dare to make a sound. They bowed their heads and saluted respectfully to the young woman who was one of the "Five Kings" together with Earl Bai Feng. They listened to her rhythmic footsteps passing by them, and their hearts were aroused by all kinds of desires as if her footsteps were stepping on their hearts, but they did not dare to make any unnecessary movements.

It was not until this figure entered the captain's room and the heavy rain fell again, soaking their heads and faces, that the pirates came back to their senses from the feeling of fear and desire, and began to discuss in low voices why the "Golden Queen" came to the "Black Emperor" and why Earl Bai Feng did not put on his usual polite posture.

In the captain's cabin, which was much more spacious than it looked from the outside and decorated in the asymmetrical style of the Fourth Epoch Solomon Empire, Angel once again saw the "King of the Five Seas" wearing a spire crown and a black robe.

"You mean, you're willing to cooperate with me to search for and explore the 'Ghost Empire'?"

Abandoning all the red tape that highlighted the title bestowed by Emperor Roselle, Nast Solomon couldn't wait to ask.
