Anne...Sister?

Angel was stunned for a moment and then reacted immediately.

The eldest daughter of Emperor Roselle in front of her, Bernadette Gustav, was born 200 years ago. In terms of age, she is older than most people currently living in the world.

But "Queen Anne's Revenge" is Ghost Ship of Fourth Epoch, and Anne lived a full two thousand years!

Not to mention calling her sister, calling her grandma is actually suitable... Of course, if Anne does have human thinking, I'm afraid this kind of call will cause a lot of trouble.

The only possibility is that when Bernadette was a child, he met Anne, who looked like a girl, so he always regarded her as his "sister".

After calming down a little, Angel nodded and replied:

"Yes, I saw Anne two months ago... and her 'Queen Anne's Revenge' in Spirit World, an ancient Ghost Warship."

The two parties were obviously old acquaintances, so she did not hide the matter of Ghost Ship.

Sure enough, Bernadette's almost expressionless face was filled with joy instead of surprise or confusion.

"After his death, Anne and her Ghost Ship lost track. She carried the 'Judgment' card and could not be divined or tracked in any way, but Above the Five Seas never reported witnessing her appearance. Considering the relationship between them, I once thought that Anne also left me forever."

Her indifferent gaze softened a lot, as if she was caught in some kind of memory.

"He" should refer to Emperor Roselle. As far as I know, the emperor had become Angel before his death, but his daughter obviously regarded him as her father, not the emperor and superior Beyonder, so she used "him" instead of " "He" to call... Moreover, Bernadette also regards Anne as a real person, rather than attached to the consciousness of Ghost Ship's "Queen Anne's Revenge". The relationship between them may be closer than I imagined?

Thinking quickly in his mind, Angel quickly decided how to answer and respond next.

"Anne was restricted by Emperor Roselle's last 'order', which required her to hide herself in the depths of the ocean and not take any action that might endanger her own existence. Therefore, she hid on a deserted island far away from the waterway for many years..."

She roughly told Bernadette how she discovered "Queen Anne's Revenge". Of course, she omitted the fact that she owned "Calamity" Charm. She only said that Anne signed a contract with herself to find a way to "end her life."

"He actually gave such an order. No wonder Anne suddenly left without saying goodbye... Moreover, why would she want to end her life?"

The surprise on High Sequence Beyonder's face gave Angel a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

"Fortunately, Anne finally changed his mind and decided to stay in this world for a while longer. The main motivation was that he wanted to see you after learning that you were still alive." She continued to tell, adding Anne's expectations were conveyed to the daughter of the emperor, "If we hadn't met in Backlund and I learned your name, I'm afraid she would have ended her life by bypassing Emperor Roselle's order."

"After that, she seemed to be a little more active. Many ships have found traces of Ghost Ship east of the Sonia Sea in the past two months. I think it is probably 'Queen Anne's Revenge'. And last night, the 'Death Announcer' that passed 'Future' suffered considerable damage. I am afraid it was also caused by her."

Bernadette raised his eyebrows and immediately asked:

"The Ghost Ship last night is the Anne?"

This question made Angel a little curious:

"You must have seen her before, or even boarded 'Queen Anne's Revenge' many times, right? Didn't you recognize her immediately?"

At the same time, she also confirmed that the High Sequence Beyonder in front of her came to this sea area on the same boat as "Future".

And the relationship between "Admiral of Stars" Cattleya, who concealed this and did not inform Angel, and Bernadette seems very suspicious...

"No, the appearance of 'Queen Anne's Revenge' in my memory is blue, just like the color of the sea. She said that it is easy to hide herself."

Bernadette shook his head and replied.

I think it's not the color of the sea, but the color of your eyes. No, it should be the color of Emperor Roselle's eyes!

And it wasn't until he left the Emperor and returned to the deep sea that Anne transformed himself back into "Black Death" of Fourth Epoch. No wonder Bernadette who was hiding on "Future" didn't recognize him when he appeared yesterday. She, maybe when the image of girl Anne appeared on the deck, Bernadette was on guard against this strange ship that suddenly appeared, and even worried that it was related to "King of Immortality"...Angel muttered inwardly.

Due to various combinations of circumstances, the two of them passed each other in their closest encounter in a century, failing to recognize each other.

Fortunately, there is still me...Angel sighed, stretched out his right hand, and looked at the location where the sword, shield and scale mark was hidden on his skin.

"The connection between me and her should allow her to sense my call. Do you need me to summon her?"

——In this way, we can have one more trump card for exploring this mysterious sea: a Ghost Ship of Sequence 2.

"No, not here."

Bernadette shook his head again, making his chestnut hair tremble like waves.

"This sea area is filled with crazy ravings from 'True Creator'. Beyonder from Mid Sequence can barely be heard, but it reaches After High Sequence, babbling will become very dangerous. I have the ability to resist it, but Anne may not have it... I will go find her after I leave this place God War Ruins."

"God's war... ruins?"

Angel felt like he heard a certain extraordinary word and subconsciously repeated it.

"The ancient god fell here, Creator regained his authority, and this sea area also became a place of death for many out-of-control divine powers after the God War. I think you have seen some of them."

Bernadette patiently explained that this was completely different from her attitude of leaving in a hurry just now. Perhaps it was because she gave Angel some "reward" after learning the information about Anne.

So, the terrifying power of "Golden Chariot" that I encountered in the morning and the seemingly never-ending high noon came from an ancient god who represented "Sun"? And those Beyonder Creature that Cattleya said are powerful but will not condense their characteristics after death, are they really the products of the authority of "Imagination"?

Combining this information, Angel quickly confirmed the ownership of several "divine powers". When she suddenly entered Evernight, the danger of disappearing without sleep also reminded her of Underground Catacombs of Trier, the abandoned place where "City of Silver" was located, and the authority of... Goddess!

Lady of Crimson, Mother of Concealment!

A part of Goddess Honorific Name suddenly flashed in her mind.

It turns out that each section of God, Honorific Name, represents supreme authority.

Therefore, "Sun" is "Eternal Blazing Sun, Indestructible Light", and "Imagination" probably belongs to the legendary "Imagination Dragon"...

Seeing Angel deep in thought, Bernadette gently reached out and lifted the book "Rosell's Notes 5" from the ground, stuffed it back into the bookshelf, glanced at the floor-to-ceiling window not far away, and said:

"The dream is about to end. Return to 'Future' and do not disclose my existence to Cattleya. In addition, do not try to explore this dream. You have the blessing of 'Evernight'. It will be more dangerous if you are too active in the dream."

After hearing so many secrets and knowing that this place was "God War Ruins", Angel had long since given up the idea of exploring, but another request from the other party made her a little confused.

I thought she took the "Future" under the arrangement of "Admiral of Stars" Cattleya, but it seems that she actually boarded the ship secretly? And she specifically said this because she didn't want to see the other person... Is she "Queen Mystic" who Cattleya once followed but parted ways with for some reason?

Queen Mystic with a reward of 650,000 pounds?

Just as he figured this out, Angel saw a dazzling white light in front of his eyes. It was completely different from the dim sunset here, the midday sun.

She squinted her eyes and looked at the position of the light, and found that she had returned to the cabin of "Future". Outside the porthole was Blazing Sun that had replaced Evernight, and in her ears was the sound of subtle waves lapping against the hull.

That strange dream was over.

After sitting on the edge of the bed and digesting the knowledge just gained from "Queen Mystic" Bernadette, Angel opened the door and came to the corridor.

She first took a sneak peek at the captain's cabin and found that the door was closed. Then she went to the other side of the corridor and knocked on Klein's door.

After waiting for a few minutes, the door opened and Klein poked his head out.

"Sorry, after waking up just now, I fell asleep again and got some important information."

He said softly and introduced Angel into the room.

This is the same single suite, and Klein doesn't have much luggage, so the room remains as if it had just been checked in. There is only a Copper Whistle on the table and a paper crane that is about to be broken.

Will Auceptin...Angel immediately understood the reason why the other party fell asleep again.

"The dream I entered before was very dangerous. If I enter it again..."

"Don't try to explore, I know it too." Klein just started, but Angel took over, "I also got a similar warning."

"Who is it?" Klein raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

He wasted precious contact opportunities before he got the tip from "Snake of Fate". That piece of paper would break after being used three or four times at most!

"The one Anne is looking for."

Worried about possible surveillance, Angel answered vaguely, but the two of them shared almost everything they knew, and the other party should be able to easily guess who it was.

Sure enough, after a moment of confusion, Klein showed a look of understanding and stopped talking.

After clearing the items on the table, the two came to the restaurant of "Future". The pirates who had just fallen asleep everywhere had returned to their posts. The chef reheated the cold lunch and put it on a plate, waiting to be taken. There were also many people sitting in the restaurant devouring their food.

Among them was the unusually enthusiastic Frank Lee. He invited Angel and Klein to sit at his table, and even handed him a glass of red wine from "Red Wine Fish". Klein rejected the other party with a serious look, while Angel took it with some interest and took a sip.

Well, it's a little sweeter than normal red wine...

"Tastes good!"

She praised heartily.

Frank seemed even more excited and began to chatter about his "new inventions", such as bacteria that can make bulls produce milk, mushrooms that can grow on fish... Hearing this, Angel put down his wine glass with some fear.

"When my bacterial research is successful, I hope to use your 'mass spread' method to infect the entire ship's bulls at once!"

Frank's eyes shone and looked at Angel.

This is the first pirate on the ship who sees her this way because of her Beyonder Ability rather than her appearance.

Just when this one-sided "happy conversation" reached its climax, the voice of "Admiral of Stars", which was amplified by some kind of magic, sounded in the restaurant:

"Those who had finished lunch returned to their positions immediately. There was an island 1 nautical mile ahead, where we waited for the storm to pass."

Storm?

Angel looked out the window in confusion. The invisible but omnipresent Sun above his head was emitting a scorching light, and not even a dark cloud could be seen.

The other pirates, however, carried out the captain's order without any compromise. They quickly stuffed toast and bacon into their mouths, finished their lunch, then returned to the deck and controlled the sailboat to sail forward quickly.

After all, after entering this God War Ruins, the instructions of "Admiral of Stars" have not gone wrong.

"Do not challenge the warning signs of the storm."

In the almost empty restaurant, Klein said softly.

Is this also the warning of "Snake of Fate"?

Angel looked out the window again, and suddenly found that there was a hint of darkness in the originally cloudless sky.
