Chapter 483: What to do at sea
Louise is naturally no stranger to Byam, although she went to Beckland not long after she crossed over, but the original owner's twenty years of growth experience is firmly imprinted in her heart and difficult to erase.
So, as soon as she set foot on this land, she felt a sense of familiarity and closeness.
Miss Maid and Miss "Fortune Teller" were the same, and when they felt the familiar and moist sea breeze on their faces, they both smiled from the bottom of their hearts.
As for Rebecca, it was the first time she had come to Byam, and the excitement lingered for a short time, and she was in the stage where she felt very new to see everything.
"Where are we going now?" Katrin asked, carrying a suitcase that was not heavy, as she walked out of the harbor.
She wanted to say that she still had a secluded safe house in Byam, but it was a little more modest enough to settle in, but she knew better that Louise couldn't be unprepared, so she didn't bother to talk about it.
Sure enough, as the "soothsayer" lady expected, Louise behaved calmly, stretched out her hand and pointed to a four-wheeled carriage that was parked on the side of the road, and said with a smile:
"The man who picked us up is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage suddenly started and drove slowly in the direction of several people.
As a "magician", Catlin's eyesight is naturally far beyond that of ordinary people, and she can clearly see that the driver of the carriage is a middle-aged man, who looks a little unattractive, but shows a calm and sophisticated capable temperament...... The only thing that is more striking is that the driver's hairline is too high!
Soon, the carriage stopped on the side of the road a few paces away, and the middle-aged coachman jumped out of the carriage and said in a deep voice:
"Miss, welcome back."
Miss Maid, who was slightly half a step behind Louise, smiled and said hello first:
"Mr. Hunter, long time no see."
The person who came was Louise's former butler, Mr. Hunter, who is now often featured in the newspapers as "Pirate Buster", and "The Hunter" as the "Arsonist" in Sequence 7.
Hunter, whose hairline was still receding, nodded calmly at Sophia and reached out to take the luggage from the latter's hand.
Louise chuckled and asked:
"Why did you pick me up personally?"
Hunter's face remained unchanged, and he put his luggage into the carriage with his hand, and then replied seriously:
"The people under my hand are relatively unfamiliar with you, Miss, in order to avoid some unnecessary mistakes, it is better for me to run it myself."
Louise bowed slightly, and did not argue, her promotion to "witch" was not suitable for publicity, after all, not all noble retainers were as trustworthy as Mr. Hunter.
As a well-known pirate hunter, Hunter's crew is almost all orphans adopted by Louise's father, and loyalty is guaranteed, but the only person who can make them sacrifice their loyalty is the heir of the Best family, that is, Louise when she was a boy.
Louise, who has become a "witch", may not know what the consequences will be if she confesses everything, which will not benefit her.
Of course, the most important reason is that it is not worth it, after all, with Louise's current strength, a group of mid- and low-level extraordinaries under Hunter's hand is not a particularly big help.
What's more, Louise doesn't want to be a pirate hunter either, and she's not short of money...... Perhaps, some pirates may be used in the process of playing the "Witch of Pain", but this is not the most urgent thing.

The reason why she left Beckland in order to avoid disaster and returned to Byam is not only because she is familiar with this place, but also because Bernadette is the "Queen of Mystery"!
Louise still doesn't know the attitude of the "Witch Sect" towards herself, if they don't talk about martial arts and directly send demigods to arrest themselves, then Bernadette is not a ready-made big backer!
What's more, Bernadette once said that she asked Louise to join her after leaving the "Witch Sect".
Now, Louise has traveled thousands of miles to the sea, willing to be a pawn for Bernadette, what a demonstration of her sincerity!
Avoiding trouble, what avoiding disaster? Louise had no idea at all.
The carriage ran smoothly, and no one asked where it was going, and in the spacious carriage, Louise seemed to be contemplative, and the voices of the others couldn't help but be much lowered.
Most of the time, Rebecca and Katrin were asking questions, and Sophia was slow to give answers.
Although the few people are already very close friends, Rebecca's main source of information about Louise comes from her grandfather Russell, and Catlyn is even more unbearable, although she has known Louise for a longer time, she doesn't actually know much about Rebecca.
Sophia was picky and chosen, and her answers were detailed and slight, but it also cleared up a lot of doubts for the two.
For example, the middle-aged coachman outside is a former butler, a medium-ranked extraordinary, and there is a group of low-order extraordinaires under his hands......
"We're not going to be pirates, are we?" Rebecca asked curiously, but looking at her appearance, she seemed to be a little eager to try.
Although it is somewhat difficult to become the "fifth king of pirates", the pirate general is still not a problem...... Rebecca is confident in that.
Suddenly, her head was knocked on the head, and Rebecca turned her head to find that the person who did it was Louise, who was looking at her with a smile on her lips, and teased:
"Why, you want to be a pirate? Aren't you afraid that your grandfather will come out to sea and get you back? ”
Rebecca straightened her neck and retorted:
"If you want to be a pirate who never kills or loots, the kind of full-time explorer, I have long heard that there are a lot of treasures and mysterious legends on the sea!"
Louise smiled, did not comment immediately, but turned to the "soothsayer" lady next to her, and asked:
"What about you?"
Katrin thought for a moment, and then, under Rebecca's expectant gaze, she spoke:
"I don't have a problem, but if you become a pirate, do you have to go through a lot of dangers?"
"Of course." Louise pointed to the outside of the carriage and said, "Mr. Hunter has lived at sea for more than half a year, and you can ask him how many life-and-death battles he has encountered?" ”
Then she looked at Rebecca again and said:
"Do you know why the legend of the treasure of the sea has spread so widely?"
"It is precisely because countless people flock to the sea to look for the so-called treasure, but they all fail, and most of them even die at the bottom of the sea, that the legend of the treasure will spread more and more widely."
"Why, do you still think being a pirate is a fun thing to do?"
Rebecca was a little disappointed, and she said in a slightly lower voice:
"Well, then don't be a pirate."
"And where are we going next?" She then asked.
Louise smiled slightly, and replied:
"Go to sea and be a 'pirate'."
Yes? Rebecca and Catelyn were a little sluggish at this time, their eyes widened, obviously they had just ruled out the suggestion of becoming a pirate, why did they ...... now
Suddenly, there was a chuckle in the carriage, which came from Sophia.
Only then did Rebecca and Catelyn realize that Louise was playing on herself, and suddenly became a little angry, and her expressions were very synchronized.
Louise couldn't help but laugh twice, and said comfortingly:
"What I just said is a reminder to you that living at sea and being in Beckland are two worlds, and you must change your thinking in time, and in this regard, you should learn more from Mr. Hunter."
"Because I probably won't be with you for some time to come."
