She has been craving this for a long time. Ever since she boarded "Blue Avenger" and saw the magic of Ghost Ship, which does not require human manipulation, she has completely forgotten about "Red Haired Woman", which she bought for 2,000 pounds.
What kind of boat can you compare with the Ghost Ship, which can be controlled freely by just one captain and has a maximum speed of more than 25 knots?
If Hanged Man was not a member of Tarot Club, if he was just a pirate who did all kinds of evil... Every night, Angel would even have thoughts in her heart that she was ashamed to face.
Now that the information about "Gazer" has been solved, Klein once again put on an expression of "I'll leave it all to you tonight". Angel naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity.
"Compared to the Death Ship that lost its crew for various reasons and was floating alone on the sea and was mistaken for Ghost Ship, I think what you are asking about is the real 'Ghost Ship' built in Fourth Epoch."
Arrodes The ticker clicked and used the firing pin to write on the illusory white paper.
"They are all warships made using a lost construction method, with specific Beyonder Characteristic sealed in the hull. They can respond to the orders of the captain or designated controller, raise sails, move forward and even fight on their own. Even if they are damaged, they will gradually repair themselves. Depending on the sealed Beyonder Characteristic, they can display different combat methods like Beyonder. Of course, a small number of them have their own thinking and will even do things contrary to the orders.
"There is a powerful Ghost Ship near you. It comes from the Fourth Epoch that the gods walk in the world. Its extraordinary power has been abused wantonly, waiting for your command.
"Of course, it's up to you whether to accept its services or not."
Angel felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.
Does Arrodes refer to "Hanged Man" Alger's "Blue Avenger"?
Angel couldn't help but tilt his head and look out the window. On the pier in the distance, the towering mast of "Blue Avenger" was faintly visible.
This Ghost Ship with its own thoughts must have a living person Sailor keeping watch, otherwise it will most likely raise its sails and escape from the dock as quickly as possible.
It was secretly spying on me and Klein before. It couldn't be because I threatened it with "Calamity" Charm that it completely succumbed and even wanted to defect from Church of Storms, just like this Arrodes... She thought about it, and there was a little hope in her heart.
"It's my turn to ask questions, okay?"
After Angel came to his senses, the ticker carefully spat out a few words.
"Okay."
Although she guessed that Arrodes would not ask any embarrassing questions that would go straight to Dark Side's heart, she still took a deep breath and prepared herself.
"Thank you for your answer."
This Sealed Artifact with its own thoughts once again made the two of them feel the limits of humility and flattery.
"The breath is about to dissipate, and the two loyal servants Arrodes are waiting to offer their knowledge and power again..."
The ticker finally spit out two lines of words, and then there was no movement.
"It's really... a unique Sealed Artifact."
I don't know how to describe it. After being silent for a long time, Angel finally spoke.
"From the first time we came into contact with it, it has had a different attitude towards us than 'Machinery Hivemind'. At least so far, it is harmless to us and has even provided a lot of help."
Klein looked at the ticker by the window and said softly.
He suddenly remembered that the first time the two met "Arrodes" was at Backlund's Isengard Stanton home, the day they had just driven away "Desire Apostle".
Then comes...
Thinking of what happened that day and the "accident" that confirmed Angel's feelings for him, Klein cautiously glanced at Angel beside him, and was surprised to find that the other party was also secretly looking at him.
She also remembered what happened that day...Klein immediately confirmed this.
Compared with the "Pleasure" Demoness period, now Angel's allure derived from Beyonder Ability, appearance, and movements has been restrained, but when alone, it will be deliberately displayed, achieving effects far beyond the past.
And when she was on "Blue Avenger", she kept teasing me...
Thinking with some indignation, Klein suddenly turned into "Gehrman" as if it was separated from itself. His face darkened, and he suddenly put his arms around Angel, leaned into her ear, and whispered softly:
"That day, I actually heard it outside the door..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw with satisfaction that Angel's amethyst-like eyes widened and her moist lips were slightly opened.
"W-what day?"
She denied awkwardly, but her crimson cheeks said it all.
Klein, who had been holding it in for many days on the boat, could no longer bear it, picked her up and walked to the bedroom.
Anyway, "Blue Avenger" won't leave until tomorrow...
Angel struggled with her hands and feet in his arms, trying to escape from the restraint, but her physical strength and close combat skills were far superior to hers. Her pushing and kicking at this moment seemed so weak.
It's like a caress for Klein.
"Bang——"
The door was closed, leaving only Radio Telegraph lying quietly under the moonlight.
Ta, da, da.
The firing pin struck gently, and the illusory white paper used to answer the question spit out part of it. On it was a small portrait of a tearful, waving hand, but with a smile on his face.
Whoosh, as if worried about being discovered, the piece of paper was sucked back into the machine.
Early the next morning, after loading up on water and fresh food, we boarded Sailor who returned home satisfied after eating, drinking and having fun. "Blue Avenger" raised its sail, left Bodo Port, and headed southwest at full speed.
Angel, who had not returned all night, provided a clear and accurate map to "Hanged Man" Alger. According to the latter's judgment, the Ghost Ship will arrive at Nameless Island in the afternoon, then Angel and Klein will leave the team to search for traces of "Gazer". According to the agreement, Alger and his Sailor do not need to, and do not dare to participate.
That's Beyonder Creature who can provide Sequence 4 Potion materials, so I won't join in the fun... Alger thought about it and looked at the "World" who looked indifferent but obviously a little tired.
The two of them went out and stayed away all night...
He thought he had understood the truth of the matter. When he saw "Empress" carrying his luggage and getting out of the cabin first, he slowly walked forward and said:
"I know a Apothecary who can help you. When Bayam comes back, go to Herbal Shop in the alley diagonally opposite Red Theater to find him.
"I also heard what Sailor said, but they all said it was very effective."
Worried that the other party would misunderstand that he knew this, Alger added.
After a short lag, Klein understood what Hanged Man meant.
I will definitely set a fire next time, no one can stop me... He took a deep breath, forced out a sneer, and barely maintained the "Gehrman" persona.
"No need."
The sails were fully opened, and "Blue Avenger" moved forward using the lateral sea wind at an extremely precise angle. The ships behind it that watched it sail into unknown waters and tried to follow up to see what happened were quickly thrown away by its unparalleled speed and turned around helplessly to leave.
With the precise position, the Ghost Ship arrived at the target location before dusk arrived. While Sun was still falling to the southwest, it was the island where "Gazer" was said to be wandering.
Angel held the monocular telescope borrowed from Alger close to his eyes and looked at the island in the distance whose coastline was still hidden under the water antenna.
"There is a mountain peak in the north and south, with a long and narrow valley in the middle. Although I can't see the coast, it should be the one I'm looking for, but I didn't see the stranded ship. Maybe it has been rescued."
She said to Klein and handed the telescope to him.
"The wind is pointing in that direction now, and we can get there in about an hour," Alger squinted his eyes and looked over there, observing the target with "Seafarer's" outstanding eyesight. "Are you going to spend the night on the boat first and explore again the next day, or start immediately after arriving?"
It is already around four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sunlight will become dim in two hours at most, which is not suitable for exploring unfamiliar places. Angel originally wanted to reply that we would leave tomorrow, but then he remembered Arrodes's reminder and was worried that "Gazer" would soon change his residence due to some kind of fright. After a moment of silence, he replied:
"I'll make a decision when I get there."
She winked at Klein, and the two got into the cabin and returned to their room.
"I'm going to try summoning the black cat messenger first and try the method Arrodes said. If Ms. Wensa gives a positive response, we will set off at dusk and find 'Gazer' as soon as possible. If it refuses to help, we will make all preparations and land on the island tomorrow morning."
After she told Klein her worries, she put out candles and built an altar, and said.
"I have also contracted a messenger who can communicate. If you refuse, you can try my one."
With a smile on his lips, Klein leaned against the wall and watched Angel arrange the altar.
"Ms. Wensa is very powerful. I suspect that when it was alive... well, maybe it can be called alive now... it is a Beyonder of Mid Sequence, not even worse than me now."
After constructing Wall of Spirituality including Klein, Angel said, picked up the fire of Spirituality, lit the candle, and began to recite the summoning spell.
"... The messenger who belongs exclusively to Angelica Zaki."
"..."
Wall of Spirituality was extremely quiet, and the candlelight burned steadily. The two of them stared at each other with confusion on each other's faces.
Ms. Wensa is not even willing to respond?
"Haha, it looks like I still have to do it!"
As soon as Gehrman chuckled and stepped forward, he was stabbed by Angel. The muscles in his abdomen twitched for a while before calming down.
He waited for Angel to extinguish the candles, and after finishing the ceremony, he directly used the existing altar to recite the incantation to summon the messenger.
Since they were all looking for messengers to sign contracts under the guidance of Mr. Azik, the messenger summoning spell of Klein was almost the same as that of Angel, except that the last name was changed to "Gehrman Sparrow".
After reciting the mantra, the room was also extremely quiet.
"Shall we land on the island tomorrow morning?"
After a long silence, Angel said hesitantly.
Above the deck, Alger Wilson watched with sweat on his forehead as the sails above his head continued to dance, as if dozens of crazy Sailor were randomly pulling on the sails driven by the cables.
For some unknown reason, the ship Ghost Ship has undergone unknown changes since a few minutes ago. Although it barely maintained its course and speed towards Nameless Island, it was quite reluctant. If the captain hadn't been giving orders in his heart that it couldn't refuse, I'm afraid it would have immediately turned around and moved as far away from the destination as possible.
"Is it afraid of that island? No, we have been following the route without changing, and I have also raised the defense level to the highest level... Could it be another messenger running towards my ship?"
Alger murmured, looking down in the direction of the room where the two Tarot Club members were, and an idea that even he thought was impossible came into his head.
"Woo, woo——"
The whistling sound of the sea wind blowing through the canvas came. "Blue Avenger" seemed to give up resistance, and the sail quickly stabilized.
In the room, Angel and Klein were about to clean up the altar and remove Wall of Spirituality, when suddenly there was a sound of wind, and the flames of the candles that were about to be extinguished exploded.
A humanoid figure slowly emerged from the flames. She was wearing a complicated black dress, with a neat cut on her neck, and she was holding two heads with long golden hair in each hand.
At this time, a head in her right hand was biting a ball of black fur, and below it was a big black cat that was biting on the back, but with its teeth and claws spread out, pinching the cheek of the other head. The two heads on her left hand also came forward, staring at the black cat with scarlet eyes, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
Under the stunned gazes of the two people, the two couriers who were fighting suddenly stopped moving.
Happy New Year everyone, I will update as usual tomorrow...
