Late at night, Berens Harbor from West Bayam.
A Three-Masted Sailing Ship with a bright red hull was parked quietly near the shoal outside the city. A small boat was lowered from the side and paddled to the beach. Two figures got off the boat in the night and came to the junction of the beach and the woods.
After searching separately, the two of them returned to the same place and reunited. One of them, a taller man wearing a hood and cloak, muttered in a low voice:
"Strange, no one is around, are they late?"
The dim moonlight shines through the clouds onto her face and the strands of red hair sticking out from under the hood.
She is none other than Helene, the captain of "Red Haired Woman".
Another follower, also wearing a hood and with a petite figure, was also looking around. After a moment, he frowned and said:
"Are you looking in the wrong place?"
"Perhaps, the rebels requested delivery on the beach outside the city. There may be some errors in the description of the location, but when they see the ship here, they should take the initiative to approach it. Let's wait..."
Helene said, looking back at his "Red Haired Woman", but was surprised to find that in the night, on the sea, a completely black Three-Masted Sailing Ship with white bones painted on the sails swept across the sea at an extremely fast speed, speeding towards "Red Haired Woman".
That's "Black Death"!
Helene's expression immediately became serious. What she was most worried about happened. Far away from Backlund and Bayam, Southern Continent had almost no one to turn to for help. "Vice Admiral of Ailment" Tracy came to her door!
"Return immediately."
She gave orders to the followers beside her, and then ran towards the stranded boat. Even if she was Sequence 6's "conspirator" and could transform into Flame Spear and fly hundreds of meters, she could not return to "Red Haired Woman" in one breath. She could only use the boat to get closer first.
But at this moment, she suddenly heard a chuckle from behind. The voice was extremely familiar and had appeared in her dreams on countless sleepless nights.
"Tracy..."
Helene murmured and turned around.
A black-haired woman wearing a white women's shirt, gray tights, a half-length windbreaker, and nothing else appeared in the woods next to the beach.
Her long hair was blowing in the sea breeze, her blue eyes were staring at Helene, and a few words popped out of her mouth almost through gritted teeth:
"Long time no see, Helene."
Backlund Among the woods in the western suburbs, Georgina Augustus leaned against a tree, not caring about the rough bark and moss staining her clothes. She looked at the full-length mirror tilted not far away and said in a loud voice:
"The reason for meeting you is very simple. In the deep sea far away from Loen Colonies, our warships cannot sail as freely as they can on the opened channels. However, there is a secret treasure that has not been discovered by others in the most inaccessible place. We want to cooperate with you and share it with you."
Loen Royal Family and the military took the initiative to contact "Pirate King" and said they wanted to share the profits from the secret treasures at sea. It sounded too strange... Angel muttered and chuckled and asked:
"Where are your ironclads and 'Arbiter' Demigod? 'King of the Five Seas' was defeated by you not long ago. If you want to find treasures, why should you cooperate with pirates?"
"If Nast Solomon doesn't take the initiative to harass Loen's merchant ship, we won't deal with him. Besides, the navies of other countries have also made frequent moves recently. Loen Navy needs it even more. Be wary of them and protect the trade with the colonies... This is also a rare opportunity for you. By getting those treasures, you can surpass Nast and become the real 'King of the Five Seas'."
"Oh? Why didn't I know there was such a precious treasure?" Hearing Georgina's answer, Angel's smile became even wider, "Key of Death, Solomon's Inheritance, or Lost Newins? You don't really believe this kind of thing..."
She shook her head regretfully, the mist surged around her, and her body was almost completely covered. It was obvious that she was no longer interested in the conversation and was ready to leave.
Compared to the frustration of having to pretend to be "Pleasure" Demoness at the dance, Angel had an overwhelming impulse at this time, and naturally there was a lot of sarcasm in his words.
Seeing this, Georgina added calmly:
"It's 'Ghost Empire'."
It's "Ghost Empire" again. Recently, I seem to have heard the name of one of this "Six Sea Legends" in several different channels. However, compared to those illusory legends, the Ghost Ship of Trunsoest has at least been affirmed by Nast, and may actually exist in the world...
Thinking of this, Angel asked curiously:
"What does that Ghost Ship have to do with me becoming 'King of the Five Seas'?"
Seemingly satisfied with Angel's reaction, Georgina left the tree trunk he was leaning on, stood up straight, walked closer and said:
"First of all, I want to confirm, are you now 'Unaging' Demoness?"
What does this have to do with... Angel took a breath and nodded.
"Then, is your ship the 'Queen Anne's Revenge' owned by the late Roselle Gustav? It was also called Fourth Epoch..."
"Imperial Glory, Black Death, yes, that's it, but does it have anything to do with the issue we want to discuss?"
Angel interrupted the other party rudely and took the initiative slightly.
"Of course it is related. Because these conditions are gathered together, we have the possibility of exploring 'Ghost Empire'... and the reason why it is closely related to your surpassing 'King of the Five Seas' Nast is the internally saved copy of 'Catastrophe' Demoness's Beyonder Characteristic."
Not paying attention to Angel's rudeness, Duchess Georgina said with a smile.
Sequence 2's "Catastrophe"... Ghost Empire isn't there only "Justiciar" and "Black Emperor" Pathway's Beyonder Characteristic? And obviously "Justiciar" is the main one, and what does it have to do with Demoness... Could it be that before Fourth Epoch's "Four Emperors War" led to the destruction of the Trensoest Empire, Demoness Sect also had a certain connection with "Night Emperor"?
The obscure Fourth Epoch history slowly emerged from Angel's mind. She subconsciously glanced at Christine Teresa who was standing by the mirror. She was about to ask for details when she heard Georgina continue to say:
"Given that the next topic is more important, I wonder, should 'Golden Queen' leave the mirror and continue communicating with me face to face?"
The royal family's "Arbiter" Demigod's tone was a little serious, and her eyes flashed with a faint golden light. In her eyes, "Pleasure" Demoness beside the full-length mirror There is a certain gap between the "location" of Christine and his own. It is indeed Beyonder of Mid Sequence, but in the mirror, the "Golden Queen" Angelica Zaki that matches the rumors and wanted posters is hidden in a mass of Gray Fog, making it impossible to see the specific identity.
This is the real reason why she needs the other party to "appear": to find out whether this Angelica is the real Demigod, or is it a fake in disguise?
"Yes," to her surprise, the queen in the mirror easily agreed to her request, "But you have to keep the man hiding behind the mirror a hundred meters away from here, at least one thousand meters away."
She discovered... that's right, although there are no kinds of glass or mirrors in the wild, any puddle, or even the eyes of animals, is said to be the Magic Mirror of "Unaging" Demoness. And if Celt is left one kilometer away, even if he can arrive immediately, he can't stop the other party from leaving, even if he uses "Teleportation"...
After thinking for a moment, Georgina looked at Black Hair Golden Eyes, whose figure was hidden by a small slope behind the full-length mirror. The man wearing a golden mask nodded.
The latter immediately turned around, ran away without looking back, and quickly disappeared into the dense forest.
"Is this okay?"
After the military figure Demigod, also named "Imperative Mage", disappeared, Georgina smiled again and looked at "Golden Queen" in the full-length mirror.
The latter chuckled lightly, the fog around him surged up, and his figure became hazy. Then the entire mirror surface glowed with a wave-like luster, and quickly returned to an ordinary mirror surface, reflecting the surrounding woods and Crimson Moon above his head.
Christine Teresa, who was standing next to it, had turned into long pale golden hair at some point, the purple of his eyes was deeper, and his facial features had changed slightly, becoming more mature and confident.
Even if she restrained her "Charm", the face that came to her eyes from Mirror World made Georgina's heart beat faster. She quickly suppressed her mood, took a long breath, stared at the other person closely, and re-judged the change in "position".
Sure enough, the person in front of her has become Demigod, and her status is higher than hers. Either she has Sequence 3, or she has some kind of powerful Mystical Item, or she has special characteristics that surpass this Sequence.
No matter what, this must be the real "Golden Queen".
"I waited for several months until 'Golden Queen' was unable to leave. When you left Berserk Sea and reached a place where no one could support you... Helene, come back with me, so that no one will be hurt, including... the crew on that ship and your little follower."
Tracy is no longer as unruly and strong as when Helene last escaped from "Black Death". Although her tone is suppressed with anger, it sounds a bit pleading to others.
But her threat was real. In the sea not far from the three people on the beach, the new "Black Death" had already caught up with the "Red Haired Woman" that had just lifted anchor and set sail, and had not yet picked up speed. The two ships were sailing almost side by side. The crews of both sides did not launch the cannons or load ammunition, but looked nervously at each other on the deck, as if waiting for something.
"Lucky William" has climbed up to the observation deck with his rifle, and his eyes are constantly moving on the Beyonder of "Black Death" and the captain on the beach; "Witch" Tia's figure has already "Lazy Fish" Ariel took off his clothes and jumped into the sea from the other side of the ship, ready to use Siren's ability to interfere with the crew of "Black Death" at any time.
The battlefields at sea and ashore are tense and about to break out.
Looking away from "Red Haired Woman", Helene looked at Tracy again, the corners of his mouth twitching, as if he wanted to put on a smile, but was unable to do so.
"Tracy, I, I have..."
Before she finished speaking, the "follower" beside her suddenly opened his hood, revealing long brown hair and thin eyebrows, and his blue eyes stared closely at "Affliction" Demoness not far away.
She is the "Pleasure" Demoness Shermane who should be planning how to escape from Viscount Stratford in Backlund at this time!
Bang——
A bright yellow flame was ignited by Helene beside Tracy. The next second, Shermane's cloaked figure disappeared in the same firelight, and appeared closer to the enemy with a spurt of flames. Her right hand stretched out from under the cloak, and the dagger in her hand pulled out a blade of light in the flames, stabbing forward at a speed that was difficult to see clearly.
"Flaming Jump", "Mighty Blow"!
