"You said there is something wrong with Black Cat Wensa and you should not use it in the future?"
Glancing at Anderson who was sitting in the corner, trying several times to take out cigarettes and matches, and then secretly stuffing them back into his pocket, Klein asked quietly.
In fact, what the two of them were talking about was not a secret topic, and with Sequence 5 "Reaper"'s hearing, any sound he made in the sea monster's mouth could not escape his ears, but speaking in a lowered voice always gave people the illusion of privacy.
"It sent me a letter for Katarina."
Angel replied with a dark face.
Although Wensa said that she and the other party are old acquaintances, this matter has not yet been resolved for her... The black cat must be left alone for at least half a month, right?
"Okay, let's use another Messenger Miss first..."
Klein replied casually and handed the suitcase belonging to Angel to the other party. An activated Charm was thoughtfully stuck on it to make it waterproof and prevent the clothes inside from getting soaked.
"So, you are staying with this 'Strongest Hunter' these days?"
After using "Deep Sea Water Membrane" like a last resort, Angel, who sat aside with his suitcase in his arms, asked, the volume returned to normal, and he was not worried about being heard by the other party.
"Ahem, I took the initiative to ask for his help. I thought that my Misfortune would disappear after leaving that sea area, but I didn't expect that I almost died there just after I boarded Toscarter Island..."
Perhaps because he was worried that if he smoked here, the sea monster would sneeze into the deep sea, Anderson put the cigarette into his pocket for the third time, came over and answered proactively.
From his introduction, Angel learned that this "Strongest Hunter" was almost killed on the spot by an accidental explosion under the cover of Misfortune, that he randomly hunted a few pirates to make money and got into trouble with a certain Demigod, and that he encountered "Death Announcer" just after he went to sea.
In the end, the unlucky Hunter paid out 1,500 pounds, plus a piece of clues from Mystical Item, before he got the chance to solve the problem from Klein, and finally used the help of Oravi Island 0 Beyonder, a "monster" of, Pathway, erased the Misfortune imposed on him by "Angel of fate" Ouroboros.
"The one who caused you to lose thirty pounds?"
Angel asked Klein casually, and succeeded in seeing his face stiffen slightly.
"We're almost there."
He pursed his lips and said.
Swimming out of the sea monster's mouth, the three of them quickly landed on a remote desert island. There were not even plants here. The rugged rocks were beaten by the waves, as if they were about to sink to the bottom of the sea at any time.
On the other side of the island, there was a sailboat painted in gold and equipped with a huge main gun.
"That's, Golden Dream?"
Anderson put his hand on his forehead to block the slanting sunlight and squinted for a moment. He suddenly became alert and looked at Angel and Klein.
"What is your relationship with that 'Iceberg Admiral'?"
he asked in a low voice.
"There has been some cooperation," Angel replied, looking at Klein, "Didn't you tell him the specific situation?"
After receiving the letter from Klein detailing the disappearance of Edwina with "Iceberg Admiral", Angel rushed to the meeting place without stopping and met him Let's investigate together. We thought that Klein would also tell Anderson who was accompanying him about the incident. Unexpectedly, Hunter seemed to have no idea about anything.
"He's different from you. He's a little, well, not very gregarious..."
Anderson replied immediately, but changed his words under the cold gaze of Klein and used a more neutral descriptor.
While the three were chatting, "Golden Dream" had discovered them and quickly sent a small boat to come over to greet them.
When they climbed up the rope ladder to the deck, a group of Sailor came up to them as if they had seen a savior.
But they quickly recognized the recently famous "Mad Adventurer" Gehrman Sparrow, and their welcoming expressions were a little stiff, as if they were thinking of the not-so-good rumors about this Adventurer and the "female Pirate Admiral".
Then, someone else recognized "Ship Breaker" Angelica Zaki. Their surprise at its beauty was quickly overshadowed by concern for the safety of their own ship, and their eyes were full of doubts.
In the end, only a few senior executives of "Golden Dream" stood out to face the three people. The leader was Angel's old acquaintance, "Fire Flame" Danitz.
Hunter, who was also unlucky, his eyes lit up when he saw Klein, and he smiled happily when he saw Angel next to him. But when he finally laid his eyes on Anderson's face, his eyes widened and he shouted:
"Anderson Hood! Why are you here?"
Do they know each other? Pirate Hunter and Pirates?
As soon as Angel had a strange idea in his mind, Danitz continued loudly:
"This guy is not a good person. He was always attacked by various passing pirates in the Fog Sea because of his unreasonable speech, and then those guys became his bounty."
"Hunter shouldn't be like this? I heard that you were 'Pyromaniac' a few years ago. Are you still Sequence 7 now?"
Anderson sneered and retorted, immediately angering Danitz. The latter's blond hair trembled like a raging flame. He looked around and saw that he had a significant numerical advantage. He felt more confident and continued:
"You may not know that he was born in the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom' church. He studied in the church school of Lenburg. He was a classmate of the captain. Because of his poor grades, he failed the exams many times and was kicked out. Only then did he become Treasure Hunter."
Hearing this, the Sailors around them all showed expressions of contempt.
You know, they are the "top students" taught by "Iceberg Admiral" who have classes every night!
As for the identity of Treasure Hunter, they deliberately ignored it.
Anderson, whose face was focused on by all kinds of eyes, changed slightly. He was silent for a moment, his eyes swept across the faces of Sailor, and he suddenly laughed.
"But I pulled your captain's hair back in school."
He spoke in a calm tone.
The deck of "Golden Dream" suddenly became quiet.
Seeing a ship of Sailor, it seemed that he was ready to tear this Strongest Hunter into eight pieces, while Klein was holding a shelf with "Mad Adventurer" on the side. Angel had to cough lightly, interrupting everyone's glare, and asked:
"Where did your captain disappear?"
This sentence seemed to wake up the Sailors of "Golden Dream" and remind them of the most important thing at the moment. Danitz nodded quickly, his Distortion expression returned to normal, and he looked at a burly man wearing a monocle next to him.
The latter took the initiative to step forward and introduce himself:
"Hello, I am First Mate of this ship, 'Gourmet' Blue Walls."
The pirate, who had a bounty of up to 6,200 pounds, introduced other main crew members and led everyone into the inner cabin and to the door of the captain's cabin.
"The captain entered her room three days ago to start research. The room was locked and the windows were closed. We usually don't disturb her, but until two days later, she never appeared again..."
Listening to First Mate's narration, Angel entered this spacious room.
In addition to the common chart tables, desks, deck chairs and other furniture, the most common items inside are bookshelves and the books stacked on them.
"These are dinners and beers sent by Sailor before she started her research, but she didn't touch them at all... so we suspect that she disappeared that night."
There is a dinner on the messy desk, the toast has become dry, and the bacon grease has solidified. Next to it are pens, ink, various white papers for writing notes, and a thick parchment book.
"The Travels of Grosell"...
Angel saw the title written in Ancient Feysac and immediately recalled the introduction of Edwina when he first came to this ship.
Indestructible... Found in a deep-sea shipwreck... Multiple owners have mysteriously disappeared...
Could it be that "Iceberg Admiral" Edwina has become one of them?
Angel picked up the book and flipped it back, quickly seeing the end of the previously recorded story.
Of course, this does not mean that the story has reached its ending, but the parchment after that is as if it is stuck and cannot be unfolded, so you can only see the scene where "Grosell" gathered the team and prepared to challenge "King of the North", and then... the chapter was broken.
But this time, she was surprised to find that two more pages of the book that were originally firmly glued could be opened!
This unusual scene made Angel wary. She opened it carefully and quickly browsed the contents. She soon discovered that this was not some evil change, but a real "continuation".
The new content tells the story of a pirate lady who was lost on the ice field. She escaped the pursuit of "King of the North", met and joined the team of Grosell, and prepared to challenge Ice Dragon together to avenge herself.
This can't be... it says Edwina, right? The purpose of her research is to write her own story into this travelogue that has thousands of years of history?
After trying to fiddle with the remaining pages, Angel found that they were still firmly attached, like a page of thickened parchment.
She handed "The Travels of Grosell" to Klein who was looking at the draft papers, then looked at Danitz and asked:
"Edwina said she was going to study this book this time?"
She already had some suspicion that the other party's disappearance was related to this travelogue.
Unexpectedly, Danitz did not answer immediately, but looked at First Mate, "Gourmet" Blue, "Flower Bow Tie" Yodsen and others beside him, and then shook their heads together.
"We don't know."
Their expressions seemed to say: We never ask questions about advanced research.
This is too reasonable. Do you still have the nerve to laugh at Anderson... Angel curled his lips, and felt a little ashamed to think that he usually looks like this.
"I have some ideas," at this moment, Klein suddenly said, "Prepare candles and ritual items for me. I want to pray to the hidden existence."
Pray to Mr. Fool?
Angel felt relieved. She opened her suitcase and took out the candles, Saint Night Powder and other materials she always had, handed them to Klein, and drove everyone including Anderson The other Sailor, including, drove them out of the captain's room, exchanged a tacit look with Klein, and then left the room, closing the door behind him.
Only then did she realize that in addition to "Gourmet" Blue and other senior members, the corridor was also crowded with other Sailor.
They all looked here with worried and expectant eyes, waiting for the final result.
It seems that they all care about their captain. It can be seen that although their purpose is not that simple, they are much more normal than the Sailor on the "Vice Admiral of Ailment" Tracy ship... Angel withdrew his gaze and asked a female Sailor to lead the way to an unoccupied room. She changed out of her sea-soaked dress and put on the spare set of white ladies' shirt and beige slim-fitting trousers in her suitcase.
This outfit is somewhat similar to the one she once wore when she pretended to be "Vice Admiral of Ailment" Tracy, which highlights her feminine charm without losing practicality.
After putting on his short boots and transferring the weapon and Charm to his body, Angel returned to the door of the captain's cabin and was surprised to find that the atmosphere here was a bit strange.
"... Isn't it Gehrman Sparrow that you should be most wary of, the Adventurer who is said to have slept with all Pirate Admirals?"
Anderson Hood was lowering his voice, whispering like Devil. Sailor standing next to him, including "Fire Flame" Danitz, nodded involuntarily.
