Vice Admiral of Ailment, Tracy?
Hearing this somewhat familiar, yet somewhat unfamiliar name, Angel stopped again.
She recalled a little and remembered that this was after "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Qilingus died in Backlund, took over the fleet, and changed its name from "Ailment Maiden" to "Vice Admiral of Ailment", becoming one of the seven famous pirates Pirate Admiral.
Since she had just become a general, her reward amount was even less than that of "Iceberg Admiral", which had a good reputation and rarely harmed innocent people during robberies. It was only 25,000 pounds. Of course, this was equivalent to five "Flame" Danitz, and that was after the price increase.
The most important thing is that she had heard this name during the battle to hunt "Steel" Maviti. At that time, one of Maviti's men mistook her as "Tracy", probably because of the "disease" ability she displayed at that time.
Therefore, there is a high probability that this Pirate Admiral is the "Affliction" Demoness of Sequence 5... This is also in line with the average strength of "Pirate Admiral".
She was somewhat interested and continued to listen to the conversation of several passengers, but it seemed that because the topic involved women's Pirate Admiral, the focus of the conversation quickly diverged and went in a direction that Angel had not expected.
"I heard that this Pirate Admiral is extremely beautiful. Not only the crew members on her flagship 'Black Death' but also on other ships are in love with her. Even many of her enemies actively beg to die just to see her before they die. However, these people often get seriously ill inexplicably in front of her, and Affliction die without even having a chance to kiss her."
The abilities of "Pleasure" and "Affliction"...Angel nodded secretly, further confirming the other party's Potion Pathway.
"Why would such a powerful pirate come near Bayam? Our ship won't be robbed by her, right?"
"It would be good if that's the case. I've long wanted to see if she looks like the rumors... But unfortunately, the naval garrison of Bayam should have expelled the 'Black Death' that came by a single ship. Moreover, Bayam is the capital of the colony. No pirates will risk the threat of coastal defense guns to get close. She may just be looking for something nearby."
After hearing that everyone's conversation began to turn to which legendary treasure "Vice Admiral of Ailment" was looking for, Angel left the deck without interest and soon found his own first-class suite in the upper cabin.
The cabins here are much simpler than those on White Agate. Even the first-class cabin is just a simple combination of living room, bedroom, and bathroom. However, "Blue Mountain Rose" is a short-distance ship that travels between Midway Island and Bayam. The voyage is only three days, so Angel doesn't care much about the living environment.
This is true even for first-class cabins, let alone the second- and third-class cabins below. When Angel bought the ticket, he learned that the simplest third-class cabin is an eight-person room with bunk beds and a shared bathroom. The restaurant cannot accommodate all passengers, so they can only eat in batches.
But the ship is still full of passengers traveling between the two places, especially the route from Bayam to Midway Island. Countless young people with dreams and hard work to collect travel expenses set out from the Rhoside Islands, passed Midway Island, and boarded the ship to the Southern Continent Balam, dreaming of getting rich overnight in the colonies there.
"Isn't that what I am doing... Looking for 'Gazer', isn't it just to save money on buying Potion Main Materials? This is also a mentality of fantasizing about getting rich..."
Analyzing his psychology of venturing to Midway Island, Angel smiled a little self-deprecatingly, but when he remembered that he had finally saved up, even if he added Audrey and "Eye of Wisdom" Isengard's unpaid money, he could not afford to buy a piece of Potion material, the faint smile on his face quickly disappeared.
Moreover, even if there really is "Gazer" near Midway Island, this kind of Anti-Divination, Beyonder Creature that can travel between Spirit World and reality may not be easy to deal with. Considering Sequence 5's Beyonder Characteristic The price of is only about 8,000 pounds, while Potion Main Materials of Sequence 4 must exceed 10,000 pounds. According to the price, the difficulty of obtaining it is that this creature may not be easier to deal with than Beyonder of Sequence 5...
While taking out the clothes and items from his suitcase and putting them away in categories, Angel sighed, as if all the cash in his pocket had been thrown into a bottomless pit called "Sequence 4".
Just as she was using the clothes hanger in the bedroom closet to hang up her change of clothes, a black shadow suddenly flashed out of the closet, and a black cat much larger than an ordinary domestic cat jumped out. First, it stepped on Angel's shoulder, and then landed on the soft bed, rolled and stopped.
I have to remind it not to appear from the shadows next time, otherwise I will not be able to help but regard it as an enemy and chop it with a knife...
Angel swore and looked at the Spirit World black cat, Ms. Wensa, who had made a contract with him and became a messenger. It stretched its limbs, made a "meow" sound with an indistinguishable gender, and slowly crawled over from the bed.
"Who asked you to send a message?"
She asked doubtfully. The only ones who knew how to summon her messenger were Klein and Mr. Azik who were at the contract signing site at the time, and there was no place to hide the message on the black cat.
"The young one, he said: Be careful on the road. The ship 'Vice Admiral of Ailment' recently appeared to the west of Bayam. If you are attacked by the other party, you can try to seek help from Mr. Azik. In addition, I asked Ms. Wensa. After I summoned it, it can remember my location. You can ask it to send me a message at any time."
After imitating the tone of Klein and saying the entire message, Black Cat Wensa turned around gracefully, swayed his tail, jumped up from the bed, got into the sudden water ripples in the air, and disappeared without a trace.
The messenger is really convenient, but the party sending the letter still needs to set up a summoning ritual, which is not conducive to communication in emergencies... Angel sighed, watching Wensa get into Spirit World's position, and began to think about how to solidify the ritual of summoning the messenger onto an item like Copper Whistle of Azik, to replace the troublesome summoning ritual.
Moreover, recalling the actions of Wensa appearing and disappearing just now, she always felt a little familiar. It was the feeling of déjà vu given to her by Potion in her body, as if...
"Could it be that Wensa was a cat that took the 'assassin' Potion before going to Spirit World?"
Angel frowned and muttered to himself.
After placing her belongings, Angel casually walked around the crowded and lively steamship and found that compared to the wonderful journey she spent on the White Onyx, whether it was the first-class exclusive restaurant that only offered a fixed menu or the small entertainment room on the Blue Mountain Rose, her solo sea trip would be boring.
So she quickly returned to her suite, sat down by the window facing the sea, took out a Ancient Feysac textbook, and began to study with concentration.
After being slightly shocked by Black Cat Wensa, who was proficient in multiple languages, she came up with the idea of learning another language. Ancient Feysac, who had a certain foundation and was very useful in communicating with Spirit World Creature, became her first choice.
Unfortunately, some things cannot be achieved with hard work. Angel, who was wandering in the ocean of knowledge, soon drowned and pushed the book away dizzily. Her mind was filled with all kinds of vocabulary that Beyonder had memorized by rote, which almost turned her thinking into a mess.
Fortunately, I also spent a boring afternoon and memorized a lot of words...
Looking at the gradually dimming sunlight outside the window, Angel put on Madness Ring, left the room with the appearance of "Irene Watson" that no one knew at sea, went to the restaurant, and chose roast beef short ribs from the not-so-excessive menu. After dinner, we had a row of dishes and fruit salad, and then spent the after-dinner time in the sea scenery changing from the setting sun to crimson Crimson Moon light outside the window, listening to the surrounding passengers' critical comments on the pirates "Four Kings" and "Seven Generals".
Slowly walking back to the first-class cabin, Angel was about to open the door of the suite. Suddenly, Spirituality in his heart and Magic Mirror placed next to him showed a not so strong danger warning.
The danger on the ship... Could it be that my "Good Luck" pistol has started to work again?
She thought a little worriedly.
During her days with Klein, this extremely unstable Mystical Item with negative effects was almost forgotten by her. At this time, she remembered the experience of frequently damaging the hired carriages when she was with Backlund, and she couldn't help but stop.
It wasn't until Spirituality's warning completely dissipated that she took a deep breath and slowly opened the door.
The porthole near the sea was tightly closed, and there were no candles lit in the room. It was pitch dark at this time, but Angel's Dark Vision still allowed her to easily spot a crouching figure in the corner of the living room.
This strange woman wearing a hood, a cloak clinging to her body, and a bit wet all over her body seemed to have just climbed aboard the Blue Mountain Rose from the sea. A pair of green gem-like eyes stared at Angel at the door, reminding the latter of Miss Justice from the Tarot Club.
But the sharp dagger she held in her hand destroyed this imagination. Audrey would not break into someone else's house so rudely and hide in the corner with a weapon...
Angel commented in his heart, pretending to be unconscious and walked into the living room, reaching out to light the candle on the candlestick.
Just as the candlelight was lit and the door behind her closed, the figure in the corner jumped out like lightning. The dagger stabbed Angel with the dazzling light reflecting the candlelight, and stopped steadily in front of her neck.
During this process, the hood on the woman's head flipped back due to the rapid sprint. Her gorgeous red hair seemed to be stained with blood. The skin on her face had a healthy color from the sun, but it was still delicate and beautiful. Her green eyes looked at Angel coldly with a hint of murderous intent.
"Don't act rashly. I saw your luggage. There are pistol bullets and tools to make Charm. You are also Beyonder. You should know that there are many ways to kill you before you call for help."
Her voice was hoarse, as if she was a little tired from not eating or drinking for a long time, but her words were still full of threats.
But Angel just felt like laughing when she heard it. The dagger in front of her neck was already entangled with invisible threads. Even if Red-Haired Lady tried to move forward even one centimeter, she would find that the dagger was no longer under her control.
If she hadn't wanted to see what this hidden stranger was planning to do, with just a flick of her finger, the threads that had spread all over the room when she stepped into the living room would have made him lose all ability to move.
"Okay, okay, what are you going to do?"
Her tone was panicked, like a newbie Beyonder, who became helpless under the threat of a sharp weapon.
"It's very simple. I'll stay in your room for a few days. You ask room service to bring three meals every day. Don't leave my sight. When the ship docks, I will let you go immediately."
Speaking of three meals, Red-Haired Lady licked his dry lips involuntarily.
She sounds like a stowaway who got mixed up with Blue Mountain Rose... But her body is wet, with the salty smell of sea water, more like a fish-man who climbed onto the boat from the sea...
When she thought of the fish-men, she thought of the delicious grilled Fish Fillet and cheek meat. Angel also wanted to lick her lips, but Actor's professional ethics stopped her from making such dramatic moves.
"I listen to you. Please put down the dagger first. I'm a little scared..."
He made a tearful expression and even used the Charm ability of "Pleasure". Even with the ordinary face provided by "Madness Ring", Angel successfully made Red-Haired Lady put down the dagger hesitantly.
"Well, as long as you quietly obey the orders, I'm not a murderous pirate." She put the dagger back into the sheath on her waist, and took off her cloak that was still dripping, revealing the soaked red dress underneath. "Now, it's time to fulfill your duties. Call room service to bring dinner for two people."
She sat on the sofa by the window regardless of the wetness on her body, with a winner's smile on her face.
"You don't have to pretend like this. Are you so afraid of a dagger if you dare to carry a gun with you? By the way, I haven't asked your name yet, 'poor' Miss." Feeling that she has control of the overall situation, the red-haired woman said with a touch of ridicule in her tone, "As for me, you can call me, Helene."
