"The lights and candles have been put out. You can come up now."
Angel leaned against the side of the ship and whispered downwards.
After a while, "Hanged Man" Alger carefully climbed up the rope ladder. His eyes quickly scanned the deck and found that except for the moonlight, there was no firelight that he was extremely afraid of. Then he turned over the side of the ship and returned to his "Blue Avenger".
The moment he stepped on the deck, he used the authority of the captain to command the Ghost Ship to extinguish all the lights on the way from the upper deck to his captain's cabin, and then his tense back and limbs relaxed.
It turns out that this is how I behaved under the negative effects of "Magician Pocket Watch" before... Angel forced the corners of his mouth, made a serious expression, and looked at Mr. Hanged Man who had been in the "Fear of Firelight" state for twelve hours.
Although Klein next to her had an expressionless face, his eyes also fell on Alger with interest. Angel guessed that if everyone were not all believers of Mr. "Fool" and had just cooperated, he might try to light a bouquet of fire and play the role of the arrogant and crazy Adventurer.
There were only a few Sailor around who stared at their captain curiously. Before leaving "Blue Avenger", this powerful "Seafarer" had a calm expression on his face, as if he was accompanying his two employers on an outing. But now his eyes were full of fear, and his shirt and face were stained with fishy blue liquid, curling up slightly like a hamster.
"Go back to your posts. We will set sail and leave here in five minutes."
Alger ordered with a sullen face, and quickly drove the Sailors off the deck. After all, the Sailors' real "jobs" were just cleaning the interior of the cabin, cooking and washing.
After serving on this Ghost Ship for several months, most of them have become poker masters, and half of them are proficient in how to polish their boots in three minutes.
"We... we'll talk about the distribution tomorrow. I'll go back to the captain's room to start the ship and leave here."
Seeing the Sailors leaving one after another, Alger handed the bag containing the black giant spider's head to Angel, spoke very fast, and without looking back, fled and quickly left the deck.
"Have I been like this before?"
Looking at the other party's back, Angel murmured and asked.
"No, you are different..." Klein finally couldn't help laughing, "At least I will never try to light a fire to scare you."
"So you are really trying to scare Mr. Alger... No, no, are you mentioning what happened that night?"
Angel suddenly realized that Klein was alluding to the night of killing "Desire Apostle", his expression changed, and he reached out and stabbed him in the waist.
Klein, who was holding back a smile on his face, wanted to hide but didn't dare. The muscles in his waist were tense, preparing for a fierce attack, but Angel only touched him gently and retracted his arm, and even took a few steps back to stay away from him.
She secretly used the power of "Pleasure".
The smile on his face disappeared instantly, and his cheeks gradually turned red. Klein leaned forward slightly to hide the changes in his body. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but held back at the last moment. He just turned sideways silently and tugged on the hem of his windbreaker.
Hum, let you laugh at me... Angel felt very happy and surprised at the other party's restraint. Just as he was about to continue "testing", there was a sudden strange noise above his head.
"Hoo, ho, ho."
As if someone was making a harsh laugh, Angel suddenly looked up and found that the sails that had been rolled up on the three masts of "Blue Avenger" were swaying and falling on their own. The thick cables were tied to the fixed frame like a long snake, tightening the canvas, and the horizontal sails were adjusted to the right angle and swelled in the night sea breeze.
The ship's hull suddenly jumped forward, and the mast, deck and even the ship's planks below made overwhelming creaking sounds. The entire Ghost Ship accelerated on its own without any Sailor's intervention, and left the Primitive Island in a graceful arc.
But I always feel that this Ghost Ship is watching our jokes. Isn't it still snooping... Angel glanced at Klein, and suddenly lost the interest in joking.
"The feathers are relatively dry and can be stuffed into a bullet box. After being sealed with Wall of Spirituality, they will not react with the container... All the Beyonder Characteristic of the giant spider are concentrated in this pair of compound eyes. They must be processed as soon as possible, otherwise it may mutate together with the head and become some kind of weird Sealed Artifact that can breathe fire on its own... The poison glands are usually useful, so keep them together."
Klein explained in a low voice, holding the meat cleaver borrowed from Sailor, carefully prying the head of the beheaded black giant spider and removing its pair of compound eyes.
Angel stuffed twelve Azure Shadow Falcon and Crystallized Feather into a small bullet box to construct Wall of Spirituality and temporarily sealed them.
In addition to the feathers, one-third of the compound eyes of Fruit of the Hypnotic Wind Chime Tree and the black giant spider will be given to Alger, and their value is still unknown. I am afraid I can only wait until Tarot Club asks other people next Monday.
Since this collaborator should now spend twelve agonizing hours in the dark captain's cabin, Angel decided to discuss with him tomorrow how to divide the two trophies.
Fortunately, the feathers left by the two extra Azure Shadow Falcon are equivalent to two copies of Main Materials from Sequence 6 "Wind-blessed". According to Angel's experience in Backlund, they should be able to sell for more than 3,000 pounds.
Even if "Gazer" was not found in the end of this journey, the income alone was worth the ticket price... She lamented the huge profits from "robbing families and homes", and the last trace of guilt for Azure Shadow Falcon's family was extinguished by Gold Pound.
Then, she picked up the pair of compound eyes that had just been dug out from the bristle spider's head and were still stained with some mucus, and found that they had adhered together under the influence of some magical power, forming a slightly larger eyeball. The small single eyes inside reflected the weak candlelight, as if there was still life.
Through contact, Angel discovered that this Beyonder Ingredients can be used for basic purposes, such as projecting fireballs or Flame Spear, which made her more certain that it belonged to the Sequence 7 material of "Hunter" Pathway or Potion material of Sequence 6.
"Maybe it can be sold to Helene or Danitz... Well, if Danitz knows the formula of Sequence 6, you can use this material to exchange with him, and then give the formula to Helene..."
She chuckled and said to Klein who was wiping her hands. She also used Wall of Spirituality to seal the spider's eyeballs. She had Cursed Black Flame, which was much more effective, and could cooperate with her invisible threads, curse attacks and other abilities. She was not interested in throwing fireballs in battle.
Finally, she held up the translucent, fist-sized Hypnotic Wind Chime Tree fruit and found that by holding the fruit and inputting Spirituality, she could use the "Hypnosis" ability of Wind Chime Tree to a limited extent, but the effect was not yet clear, and she did not intend to try to find targets on this friendly ship.
Maybe...
She glanced at the rosy Klein, who still had a strange expression next to her, and gave up the "evil" plan in her heart.
Otherwise, he might have to spend the night in my room tonight... Angel carefully put the fruits away, and put the pile of Beyonder Ingredients worth more than 5,000 pounds into the innermost cabinet of the room and locked it.
"Pfft——"
The moment the cabinet door closed, a black shadow flashed out from inside, passed over her head, and landed on the table behind her. Klein, who was looking at Angel's back, was startled and jumped up from the chair.
The candlelight in the room was automatic without wind, and the light was dim and unclear. It seemed that the Ghost Ship was trying to block the invading Spirit World Creature again, but failed miserably again.
"It's Ms. Wensa."
Angel leaned forward and tried to pet the soft-haired black cat, but the cat nimbly dodged it. He threw down a letter, flicked his tail, and got back Spirit World in front of the two of them.
When the water ripples connecting Spirit World disappeared, a faint "hum" was heard.
It seems that it really used divination to find Lola... Angel took the letter, opened it and read it quickly.
"Long time no see, Miss Irene, I believe you, like me, also use a pseudonym.
"Yes, I do have a relationship with Katerina Pelle. To be precise, she is my mother, and Tracy, who has become 'Vice Admiral of Ailment', was once my brother.
"I also want to apologize for lying to you before. I did not 'betray' Demoness Sect, but never joined them. Among the mother's offspring, men will be given 'assassins' Potion when they reach adulthood and join their team. Women like me will be raised by my mother and will not be allowed to take the path of assassins.
"But when they gave birth to me, they inherited a small amount of Beyonder Characteristic for some reason. Therefore, I was born as an 'assassin' and could only choose to continue on this path of Potion Pathway. She did not force me to join the sect, nor did she restrict me too much. It was not until Tress, that is, my brother showed characteristics that she thought was worth cultivating, that I was free and escaped from her.
"Of course, my opposition to the Demoness Sect has nothing to do with it. It is purely a personal grudge. If you are interested, I will tell you when I return to Backlund, but please rest assured that as long as your goal is also Demoness Sect, I will always stand with you.
"Finally, your Sherman is very talented. He has already digested the 'assassin' Potion. I am going to arrange a task for him to assassinate a certain Gnostic Society member alone in the near future. The Potion and 'Acting Method' of 'Instigator' will be used as rewards."
Sure enough, Lola and Tracy are both descendants of "Unaging" Demoness Katarina, but the "mother" and "mom" she mentioned are not the same person? Could it be that... their "father" was turned into a woman and "mother" by Potion after being combined with Katarina?
And Tracy is actually the same as Trissy, they were originally men... No wonder she still likes women and insists on arresting Helene... No, I was also a male originally, but now...
Angel handed Lola's reply to Klein. His mind was filled with the chaotic parent-child relationship of Pelley's family and his own "difference".
But now that she has this kind of relationship with Klein, she can't leave him alone... She secretly looked at Klein and found that the other person was focused on the letter in his hand and didn't show any strange expression, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
In his eyes, I should be the "female" Demoness. After all, I joined Nighthawks and I was still an "assassin" when I met him, and he didn't know that my identity was forged. Only Hanged Man and Justice knew about it, and They don't know Klein who has not joined Tarot Club... Angel secretly comforted himself, suppressing the guilt of concealing his identity, looking at the gradually fading ruddy face of Klein, and thinking about whether to "poke" him on the waist again.
