After saying goodbye to the cute little Seer and Hunter Dominic who did not dare to provoke, Angel entered Mirror World again and came to the "Red Haired Woman" number next to the pier.
The Three-Masted Sailing Ship, which is bright red all over, is making final preparations before going to sea. The Sailor people are busy sorting out the supplies on the deck, checking the rigging and masts, and carrying the freshly loaded fresh water and wine into the warehouse.
Angel observed for a while, entered the captain's room, and appeared directly in front of Helene.
The captain seemed to have taken off the "Madness" ring due to the side effects of the ring. He regained his long red hair, a combination of Gentle Beauty and resolute beauty, and a somewhat rough, but healthy enough skin. He was currently writing and drawing on the spread out sea chart, and raised his head when he heard the movement.
"Miss Angelica." She stood up quickly and said hello, "Your 'Red Haired Woman' is ready and ready for you to use."
It always sounds weird, so let me use it casually... Angel glanced at Helene's red hair and the tight shirt that highlighted her figure, muttered, and then asked:
"Where's your Sailor Chief William? I didn't see him on the boat, and there are a lot less Sailor than usual."
"Because it was a secret operation, I asked many Sailor with official backgrounds to take leave, and only brought the ones I could trust." Helene also realized the ambiguity in his words, and his face turned unnaturally rosy. "William went to the business district. He said that the climate in the Fog Sea is different from here, and crew members are more likely to get sick. He is going to purchase some medicine before leaving."
Well, he is careful and responsible. I have been on the ship of "Iceberg Admiral" before. If I want to expand my fleet, I can consider letting him take a ship... Angel nodded with satisfaction.
She told Helene that she was going to the North Continent with fruits and meat after "Red Haired Woman", and then took out the Tarot Cards that Shermane had drawn the code name for in the afternoon, handed it to the other party, and said:
"You also draw one from it, which will be used as your subsequent code name. Another colleague of yours has already drawn 'Empress of Pentacles' from Backlund's 'Witch', so you can only choose from the other fifty-five."
"It turns out I have a colleague at Backlund."
Helene smiled half embarrassed, half disappointed, took the stack of playing cards, and shuffled them skillfully in his hands.
It seems that she usually plays cards with other Sailor... and what's with that hurt expression?
Angel watched intently as Helene shuffled and cut the cards, then held the stack of Minor Arcana Brand in his hand, picked up the top card, unfolded the cards and handed them over.
It was a picture of "Queen of Wands" holding a scepter and golden sunflowers, sitting on a throne.
The symbol of this card is a tolerant, cheerful and enthusiastic strong woman. It actually fits Helene's character very well. It seems that I am indeed a master of divination... Angel muttered and said with satisfaction:
"That's it."
After putting Tarot Cards away, Angel stayed in the captain's cabin, chatting wordlessly with Helene, learning about her work during this period, and after learning that his investment had made a lot of profits, he gradually immersed himself in the light of Gold Pound.
But until Sun, the same color as Gold Pound, sank into the sea and the dock was shrouded in moonlight, William still did not return to "Red Haired Woman".
"The business district is not far from the port. He should have been back long ago."
Helene's face became serious and he looked out the window. Over there were the streets where the lights gradually turned on, showing the night life of "City of Generosity".
Angel also made a simple Magic Mirror Divination and found that although William will return here, there will be many twists and turns on the road.
Of course, twists and turns mean possible accidents, so Angel immediately took Helene and flew along Mirror Tunnel towards the busy commercial district.
There are not many Bayam tourists in summer, but it still makes the whole city look crowded and lively. On the crowded streets, two figures, a man and a woman, are walking back and forth, squeezing aside pedestrians one after another, and moving forward with difficulty.
The man is a tall man, wearing a coat common at sea, and a three-cornered hat on his head. His face is hidden in the shadow of the hat. In comparison, the woman looks petite, walking briskly and moving nimblely.
When they came to a more crowded intersection, they looked around, immediately chose an alley with fewer pedestrians, and got in without hesitation.
"Where is your safe house? We'll go there right away, change your clothes and leave. You should be able to do 'Anti-Divination', right? Remember to do it!"
The man in the three-cornered hat had a hoarse voice, urgent but coherent.
The woman who was dragged into the alley by him was wearing a dress that was not convenient for movement, and a hooded cloak that could cover her hair and half of her face. When she heard this, she nodded first, and then shook her head:
"I can Anti-Divination, but I don't have a safe house."
As if he was surprised by the other party's answer, the man was stunned for a moment before continuing:
"Then escape this area first, go to the chaotic port or South District, and leave the city before dawn..."
Before he finished speaking, the roar of horses, the sound of wheels running over stone slabs, and the exclamation of Passerby could be heard from the alley.
"It's Mandated Punishers. I didn't expect them to deal with Gnostic Society so quickly..." The man complained in a low voice and made up his mind, "Follow me and go to the dock."
He held the woman's hand and ran forward in large strides. Fortunately, he encountered a right-angled corner and avoided the sight of the three "punishers" who rushed into the alley.
There was another alley ahead, as long as he entered there... The precise Bayam city map appeared in his mind. When he passed a small puddle, he stepped heavily into it, but did not hear the sound of splashing water. Instead, he missed the step, lost his balance, and fell forward.
There was also a short exclamation from a woman behind her.
It's over, it's a trap!
In the spinning world, he twisted his body so that his shoulders instead of his face landed on the ground, then jumped up suddenly and looked around.
In the small gray space, only two women looked at him coldly. The surroundings were shrouded in mist, as if there were countless small lines connecting different areas.
"Captain, and...Miss Angelica?"
William, who was wearing a black leather three-cornered hat and whose face was full of signs of vicissitudes of life, but was only in his twenties, glanced at the two of them and breathed a sigh of relief.
Bang, behind him, the careless woman fell to the ground and came to "Mirror World".
"Tell me what happened. Helene asked you to buy medicine, but he didn't ask you to mess with the official Beyonder. He even brought back a 'Witch'."
Sitting on the comfortable armchair belonging to Helene in the captain's cabin, Angel asked with an indifferent expression. The original owner of the chair was on the deck instructing Sailor to lift anchor and sail, preparing to leave the dock overnight to avoid subsequent arrests.
Opposite her stood Sailor Chief, "Lucky William" of "Red Haired Woman", and the young woman he took to escape the pursuit of "Mandated Punishers", the latter's face has a kind of exquisiteness that is rarely seen at sea, with plump lips and a high nose. It is not very beautiful, but the combination of various organs is very attractive. The bumpy figure is hidden in the cloak, and the slender white calves are exposed under the skirt.
Of course, Angel could easily guess the other party's identity based on the Magic Mirror hidden in his cloak: a Beyonder who had taken "Witch" Potion.
Seeing that her identity was easily revealed, the woman slowly took two steps forward, getting closer to Angel, then took off her hood, revealing her face and slightly curly long brown hair. She looked at Angel with her dark gray eyes. She was about to say something when she suddenly froze.
Okay, I know your gender before you drank Potion... Looking at Witch, who was almost unable to move under the influence of his appearance and a hint of "Charm" ability, and fell into a state of obsession, Angel chuckled, restrained his seductive aura, turned his head slightly, and avoided the other party's sight.
This made Witch struggle to get out of his awkward state, took a deep breath, and continued:
"Good evening, dear 'Golden Queen', as you said, I am a 'Witch'. In order to help me get rid of the pursuit of 'Gnostic Society', Mr. Carl took the initiative to attract the attention of 'Mandated Punishers', and narrowly escaped during the battle between them, and then... fell into your mirror trap."
It can be seen that it is a mirror trap. It seems that this "Witch" knows a lot about Pathway's deeper Beyonder Ability... Angel thought about it, turned to William, who had an unnatural expression, and said:
"Carl is your pseudonym?"
This question made the somewhat burly William shrink back, as if he was as tall as Angel.
"Actually, William is my pseudonym. When I was serving in 'Golden Dream', I was still called Carl..." He replied hesitantly, "After I left there, I changed my name because I was worried that my former colleagues would know my whereabouts..."
I thought there was some important reason, but it turned out that it was because I was afraid of the ridicule of "Blaze" Danitz and the others... Angel was not taboo about pseudonyms. After all, she just changed her name in different places. From Tingen to Backlund, she already had four identities.
Moreover, when she recalled for a moment, she did not remember that a pirate named "Carl" had been offered a bounty, or that the bounty amount was not too high, so it did not enter Angel's mind. So she just nodded, indicating that she had revealed the matter, looked at Witch, and said:
"Go on, what's your name? Why do you know me? What's the reason Gnostic Society is chasing you?"
She already had a guess about this, but decided to listen to the person involved first.
"Dear 'Golden Queen', you can call me Tia, and your name has been spread throughout Five Seas, and no one knows it..." Witch, who had brown hair and gray eyes, lowered his head and replied, as if he did not dare to look directly at her, but he glanced at her from time to time, "You should understand ' The relationship between Gnostic Society' and 'Demoness Sect' is, in fact, it was 'Demoness Sect' who issued the order to hunt me down. I moved from Lenburg to Feynapotter and then to the Rhoside Islands through Desi Bay, but I still did not escape their pursuit."
Sure enough, the person who wanted to hunt down Witch was actually "Demoness Sect". Gnostic Society was just their thug, which was consistent with the information within the church... Angel nodded slightly in confirmation and asked:
"What's the reason for the Demoness Sect to issue the order? You should be a 'male Demoness', so you won't be hostile to them, right?"
As she said that, she looked at William next to Tia - Angel decided to continue calling him that - and found that the latter looked as usual, not surprised that Tia was a male.
It seems that he already knows the previous identity of Tia, maybe his name is Dia?
Not noticing Angel's movements, Tia replied in a sad tone:
"I am indeed not the Female Witch who suffered hostility and suppression. Although I often disobeyed orders and committed many Error crimes within the church, it was not because of this that they hunted me down, but... I betrayed Demoness Sect and joined the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom' church.
"In addition, I also took away a lot of information, such as the scale of the Demoness Sect, some of their conspiracies, and... the true location of 'Fountain of Youth' that they tried to hide.
"I think this should be of certain value to you and Demoness, who also does not belong to a sect."
