After pulling Daniz and telling him to go to the door of the local Storm Church church and put up a small advertisement, Crane returns to the "Blue Wind" and meets Esther, who has a stern face.

Esther's eyes, which had been colored green, had been restored to their original appearance: "I thought about it, I still have to go to Simim." ”

"It's risky." Klein said plainly and clearly.

Esther knew what he meant, because of the relationship between those "archaeologists" on Simim Island, I was afraid that it would attract official extraordinaries to land on the island, and it would be difficult to guarantee the safety of these two days.

"But I think I'd better go, don't worry, nothing serious, my instincts are calm. I will stay in Simim for one more day and return the day after tomorrow. ”

Because there was a tarot meeting tomorrow afternoon, Esther was not worried about catching the passenger ferry that would return at nine o'clock, so she had to postpone the return voyage by one day.

"I see." Klein didn't say anything more.

The next morning, Esther got up early to get dressed.

The newly bought pale white dress had a lace neckline and a fluffy skirt, but it was quickly blocked by Esther under the cloak. She wore more feminine light makeup, put on her red hair, and used a straw hat to pull up the ends of her hair at the back, so that the brim of the hat covered most of her face, and only a few strands of red hair remained on her sideburns.

When she was about to leave the house, Esther put the potion in her eyes, and after a few seconds, she wrapped herself in a black robe and hurried to the docks.

There were dark clouds gathering in the sky, but they weren't so dark, they were just hidden.

It's best not to have accidents.

Esther glanced at the gloomy sky, hoping that the rainstorm would not fall until the ship left the port.

The sea is still calm, but the color seems to be darker than usual.

When a gust of wind blew, Esther deliberately raised her head, so that the straw hat was blown over, and her soft red hair was spread out, revealing a pair of alert and clear green eyes.

Coupled with the slight mental distraction that Esther superimposed on her face, her appearance resembled the young lady in the photo, which made the two men crouching near the dock vendors look awe-inspiring.

Esther leaned over to pick up her straw hat, looked around alarmingly, and then buckled it to her head, and hurried to the dock where she had boarded, following the few other passengers onto the ship bound for Simium.

Fortunately, the first ferry to Simim Island at nine o'clock had not been cancelled, and the 10 o'clock voyage had already been cancelled due to the weather.

This scene was so clear to the two men that they quickly left the docks to report the news.

Another person who was guarding the unloading area also noticed this scene and quickly left the dock area as well.

Esther's passenger ship had been out of port for only ten minutes, when a torrential downpour suddenly fell wildly on Byam.

The cascading clouds were so dim that they were almost falling, and the rain was woven into a curtain, and even the sea swayed and surged upwards, as if it wanted to rush ashore to drown the place.

But none of this has anything to do with Esther, who successfully completed the commission.

Because of the strength of the wind and the swelling of the waves, the ship moved fast and fled quickly away from the showers of Byam. Esther sat in the rocking cabin with her suitcase in her hand, and she always felt that this unforeseen change of day was strange.

But her purpose had been achieved, and she pressed her straw hat tightly above her head and looked leisurely at the sky outside with raindrops.

Judging from this weather, the ship should not have traveled, but the captain seemed to be in a hurry, did someone say hello?

Esther rubbed her ticket in her hand, wondering if the red-haired lady had asked her to come over, after all, she had a special network behind her.

The Sauron Family......

Esther was still curious about what the evil spirit named Medici knew about Zoya, but she was so far away from Beckland that she probably didn't have a chance to run into it again.

After a few hours of sailing, the passenger ship arrives at the port of Simim Island.

Esther quickly found a slightly tidy inn, and after seeing her very different appearance from the locals, the owner kindly helped her to check in without even asking for any identification.

It costs only one sol a night here, which is much cheaper than a hotel with the same conditions in Baiam, and the room has a faint dampness.

Hotels closer to the port often find this difficult to avoid.

There was also a fireplace in the house, and although Esther was not very afraid of the cold, and the lowest temperature in the Rorsted Islands in winter was about 10 degrees, she lit the fireplace because she liked to see the flames burning.

The light of the fire reflected on her face, leaving half a shadow.

——

Compared with the "substitute punisher" in Baiam and the official navy's search for the "archaeologist" Latisia and his party, Simim's side can be said to be calm, except for a day of rain, it was not too violently affected.

It wasn't until the next morning that the rain stopped and the sky cleared.

Esther put away her red hair cover, changed into men's clothes, and blackened her face a little to make herself look like a half-race rather than a conspicuous outsider.

She didn't mind walking around the island, at least that's what she thought at first.

It wasn't until she saw a few substitutes who clearly belonged to the Storm Church that Esther could sense the breezy aura from them when she passed by in a low-key manner, which made her subconsciously vigilant and turn into the alley away from these people as soon as possible.

With a silver mask on her face, Esther circled the back of the building, trying to hide in the thick bushes.

However, to Esther's surprise, there were already two people squatting here.

They were originally alert to each other, but when they heard footsteps approaching, they quickly collided with the third person who appeared here and showed their weapons.

Among them, the man with curly brown hair, a mask and a hood, with a soft curvy figure, and a frost spear in his right hand, Esther could recognize at a glance that this was the power of the witch's path, but this person gave Esther the feeling that he did not have the charm of a witch, and it was most likely that he had mastered some kind of seal.

Another lady with brass-colored hair tied into a thin ponytail wrapped in a black turban, was also in her twenties, and although her appearance was a little elegant and elegant, her upside-down sword eyebrows were quite handsome, and her cheeks had rough marks left by years of running at sea, and her skin was light bronzed.

The lady carried a small revolver in her left hand, while her white-gloved right hand was pressed against the neckline. She had a lot of beads pinned to her neckline that were strung on separate threads, which were very fancy, and there were two colored beads scattered on the ground, and she didn't know what had happened before.

The six eyes looked at each other, quite embarrassed.

Esther suddenly felt that going into this alley was a rather wrong choice.

"If you mind, I can actually go out ......"

"Squat!"

Both of them shouted at Esther at the same time.

It's the punisher outside, who dares to let her out? In case this person brings the substitute into more trouble.

Esther realized that the one carrying the frost spear was not a woman, and that it was obviously a more deep and magnetic male voice when she spoke. Then why does "he" look so much like a woman?

Esther crouched helplessly in the bushes between the two, with the frost spear on her left and the muzzle of the revolver on her right, feeling like the slice of cheese in a sandwich.

"Actually, I'm also here to hide from the extraordinary people of the church. As a wild extraordinary, I don't want to get in trouble either. Isn't it good for everyone to hide for a while? ”

"You're a pirate, too?" The lady with the beaded neckline asked.

Esther sighed inwardly, why did she add the word "also", wasn't this purely revealing the fact that she herself was closely related to pirates?

However, Esther replied very sincerely: "I have not been to sea much, and I can only be described as an adventurer." ”

The feminine man snorted coldly and did not speak.

Esther couldn't help but look at him twice, he noticed the strange meaning in Esther's eyes, the dark black eyes under the mask glared at her viciously, and lowered her voice to intimidate Esther:

"Look at what? Don't think I'm afraid to do it with you! ”

Esther immediately looked away: "Sir, you are in such a good shape." ”

The lady on the other side couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

The man's face under the mask must have been rather gloomy: "You-"

Esther suddenly put her index finger to her lips: "Shh, they're approaching the alley." ”

The three of them were immediately silenced, and the scolding and scolding complaints of the substitutes could be heard in the wind, but fortunately, they did not chase after them, and quickly went to the next street to continue the search.

However, the three of them remained silent and crouched behind the bushes for a while longer.

Then they fell into an even more awkward situation - none of the other two dared to go first, for fear of being followed.

Esther was waiting for them to leave before she could clear the trail with a point of light in case someone could find it by occult means.

In the end, Esther couldn't take it anymore, and she felt like it was a waste of time: "You two...... How long are you going to squat? ”

"If you want to leave, get out of here!" The man carrying the seal of the "witch" path whispered, his words full of majesty, but he also seemed quite disgusted with Esther.

The lady on the other side chuckled, her voice full of mockery.

Esther glanced at her as well: "I know you, Mary 'Brilliant Pearl', one thousand four hundred gold pounds. ”

The lady raised the hole of the revolver a little higher and pointed it at Esther's head: "I've changed my mind, or you might as well not go, Miss Adventurer." ”

"Shit, woe to you......" Esther muttered quietly.

The lady curled the corners of her mouth: "I don't see it, you are still a reader of Russell the Great?" ”

"Sort of." Esther's expression was complicated.

How did Russell say everything? Don't leave room for future generations!

The man on the other side finally endured to the limit: "It's a waste of life to confront you here!" If you don't go, I'll go, damn it! ”

"Goodbye, better never again." The lady replied indifferently.

Esther smiled and waved at the man, "Is it because your spiritual intuition warns of danger?" ”

The man's undulating form stiffened visibly, then he walked backwards and slowly out of the bushes, and soon he galloped out of the place.

He was rushing fast, and his footsteps even moved from side to side a few times, clearly guarding against the revolver of the brass-colored lady on the other side.

"Whole idiot."

The woman commented disdainfully.

She hadn't planned to shoot, and the sound of the gunfire would have attracted the attention of the Storm Church Extraordinaires, who weren't that far away from here, and she still had the brain.

"We're the only ones left." Esther turned her head and looked at the lady with a clear gaze.

"You...... You go first. ”

Looking at the muzzle of the black hole, Esther reluctantly raised her hands and stretched them into the air: "Okay, okay, then I'll first-"

She slammed her palms together.

When "Bright Pearl" Mary came back to her senses, the person who was pointed at the revolver turned out to be herself.

Esther winked innocently, "I'll ask you to get out of here first." ”
