Chapter 64: Tracy
Sick Lieutenant General, Tracy?
Hearing this somewhat familiar, somewhat unfamiliar name, Angel stopped again.
She reminisced for a moment and remembered that this was a well-known pirate who took over the fleet after "Lieutenant General Hurricane" Zillingers died in Beckland, and changed his name from "Sick Girl" to "Sick Vice Admiral", becoming one of the seven pirate generals.
Since she has only recently become a general, her bounty is even less than the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg", who hardly harms innocents in the looting, only 25,000 pounds, of course, this is equivalent to five "Flame" Daniz, or after the price increase.
On top of that, she had heard the name during the hunt for "Steel" Mavity, when one of Mavity's henchmen mistook her for "Tracy", most likely due to her "disease" abilities at the time.
Therefore, there is a high probability that this pirate general is the "painful" witch of Sequence 5...... This is also in line with the average strength of the "pirate generals".
She was a little interested and continued to listen to the conversation of several passengers, but it seemed that because the topic involved female pirate generals, the focus of the conversation quickly diverged and went in a direction that Angel did not expect.
"I heard that this pirate general is extremely beautiful, not only on her flagship 'Black Death' and the crews of other ships are in love with her, but even many of her enemies take the initiative to beg for death, just to see her before she dies, but these people often inexplicably become seriously ill in front of her, and even die in pain before they have time to kiss Fang Ze."
The ability to "pleasure" and "pain...... Angel nodded secretly, confirming the other party's potion path even more.
"Why did such a powerful pirate come to the vicinity of Byam, our ship won't be robbed by her, right?"
"If that's the case, that's not bad, I've wanted to see if she's what she's rumored to be...... But unfortunately, Byam's naval garrison must have driven out the Black Death, and Byam is the capital of the colony, no pirates will risk the threat of shore defense artillery, she may just be looking for something nearby. ”
After hearing that the conversation began to turn to the legendary treasure that the "Lieutenant General of the Disease" was looking for, Angel left the deck in high spirits, and soon found his own first-class suite in the upper cabin.
The cabins here are much simpler than those on the White Onyx, and even the first class is just a simple combination of living room, bedroom, and lavatory, but the Blue Mountain Rose is a short-haul ship between Mid-Haul Island and Byam, with a three-day voyage, so Angel doesn't care much about the living environment.
Even the first class cabin, not to mention the second and third class cabins below, Angel learned when he bought the ticket that the most humble third class cabin is an eight-person room, sleeping in a bunk bed, sharing a washroom, and the restaurant cannot accommodate all passengers, so he can only eat in batches.
But the ship was still full of passengers to and from the two places, especially the route from Byam to the island of Medium-Range, and countless young people with dreams and the cost of the journey to the island of Rorsted, passing through the island of Medium-Range, boarded a ship to Bailang on the southern mainland, dreaming of becoming rich overnight in the colony there.
"How could I not be...... Isn't it to find the 'Gazer' just to save money on the main materials for potions? This is also a mentality of fantasizing about getting rich......"
Angil smiled a little self-deprecatingly, but remembering that he had saved up with great difficulty, even with the unpaid money of Audrey and the "Eye of Wisdom" Issinger, he couldn't afford to buy a potion material, and the faint smile on his face quickly disappeared.
Moreover, even if there is really a "gazer" near the mid-range island, this kind of transcendent creature that can reverse divination and shuttle between the spirit world and reality may not be easy to deal with, considering the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 5 The price is around 8,000 pounds, and the main material of Sequence 4 potions must exceed 10,000 pounds, according to the difficulty of obtaining it, this creature may not be easier to deal with than the extraordinary person of Sequence 5......
While taking out the clothes and items in his suitcase and putting them in separate categories, Angel sighed as if all the cash in his pocket had been thrown into the bottomless pit called "Sequence 4".
Just as she was using the hanger in the bedroom closet to hang up her change of clothes, a black shadow suddenly flashed in the closet, and a black cat much larger than an ordinary domestic cat sprang out, first stepping on Angel's shoulder, and then falling onto the soft bed, rolling and stopping.
Next time, I'll remind it not to emerge from the shadows, or I'll be tempted to take it as an enemy and slash it down......
Angel sneered as she looked at the spirit black cat with whom she had made a contract to become a messenger, Ms. Winza, and slowly crawled out of bed after stretching its limbs and making a gendered "meow" sound.
"Did someone ask you to send a message?"
She asked, confused, that the only people who knew how to summon her messenger were Crane and Mr. Azik, who were at the time of the treaty, and that there was no place for the black cat to hide the letter.
"The younger one, he said: Be careful on the road, the ship of the 'Sick Lieutenant General' has recently appeared in the west of Byam, and if the other side is attacked, try to seek the help of Mr. Azik. Also, I asked Ms. Winsa that after I summoned it, it would remember my location, and you could always have it send me a letter. ”
After uttering all the contents of the message in Klein's tone, the black cat Winsa turned gracefully, wagged his tail, jumped out of bed, and disappeared into the sudden ripples of water in the air.
The messenger is really convenient, but the party sending the letter still needs to set up a summoning ceremony, which is not conducive to communication in an emergency...... Angel sighed with emotion, looked at the location where Wensa had burrowed into the spirit realm, and began to think about how to solidify the ritual of summoning the messenger to a certain object like the bronze whistle of Azk, as a substitute for the troublesome summoning ritual.
Moreover, recalling the action of Wensa appearing and disappearing just now, she always felt a little familiar, it was the sense of déjà vu brought to her by the potion in her body, as if it was ......
"Could it be that Winsa was a cat who had taken the 'Assassin' potion before he went to the spirit realm?"
Angel frowned and muttered to herself.
————
After arranging her belongings, Angel casually walked around the crowded steamship and found that the Blue Mountain Rose's first-class dining room with a fixed menu or the cramped entertainment room would make her solo sea trip boring compared to the beautiful journey on the White Onyx.
So she quickly returned to her suite, sat down by the window by the sea, took out a copy of the Gufsak textbook, and began to study it with great concentration.
After being slightly hit by Winsa, a black cat who knows many Chinese, she came up with the idea of learning more languages, and Gufusak language, which has a certain foundation and is very useful when communicating with spirit creatures, has become the first choice.
Unfortunately, some things cannot be done with hard work, and Angel, who was wandering in the sea of knowledge, soon drowned, and pushed the book away in a dizzy state, and her mind was full of various words memorized by rote with the memory of extraordinary people, and her mind almost crumbled her mind into a mess.
Fortunately, I also survived a boring afternoon and memorized a lot of words......
Looking out the window at the fading sunlight, Angel put on the ring of madness, left the room with the appearance of "Erin Watson", who was unknown at sea, and came to the restaurant, where she chose grilled beef short ribs and fruit salad from the not-so-sumptuous menu, and then spent the after-dinner time in the sea scenery outside the window that changed from sunset to crimson moonlight, listening to the sharp comments of the passengers around her about the pirates "Four Kings" and "Seven Generals".
Slowly pacing back to the first-class cabin, Angel was about to open the door of the suite, when suddenly the inner spirituality and the magic mirror placed close to him appeared A not-so-strong danger warning.
Danger on board...... Could it be that my "good luck" pistol is starting to work again?
She thought worriedly.
During her time with Crane, she had almost forgotten about this magical item with extremely volatile negative effects, and she couldn't help but stop when she remembered how often she had damaged the hired carriage while she was in Beckland.
It wasn't until the spiritual warning had completely dissipated that she took a deep breath and slowly opened the door.
The porthole by the sea was tightly closed, and there were no candles in the room, and it was pitch black, but Angel's dark vision still made it easy for her to spot a figure crouching in the corner of the living room.
The strange woman with her hood and cloak clinging to her body and a little wet all over her body seemed to have just climbed aboard the Blue Mountain Rose from the sea, and her pair of emerald eyes stared at Angel at the door, reminding her of the Tarot Society's Miss Justice.
But the sharp dagger she held in her hand ruined the imagination, and Audrey would not have been so rude as to break into someone's house and hide in a corner with a weapon......
Angel commented inwardly, pretending to be unconscious, and walked into the living room, reaching out to light the candles on the candlestick.
At the moment when the candlelight lit and the door closed behind her, a figure from the corner of the wall burst out like lightning, and the dagger stabbed Angel with a dazzling glint reflecting the candlelight, and stopped steadily in front of her neck.
In this process, the hood on the woman's head turned back due to the rapid sprint, her gorgeous red hair seemed to be dyed with blood, and the skin on her face was a healthy color of the sun, but it was still delicate and beautiful, and her green eyes looked at Angel coldly with a hint of murderous intent.
"Don't act rashly, I have seen your luggage, there are pistol bullets, there are tools to make charms, and you are also an extraordinary person, you should know that there are many means to kill you before you call for help."
Her voice was hoarse, as if she was a little tired from not eating or drinking for a long time, but her words were still full of threats.
But Angel only felt like laughing, the dagger around her neck had been entwined with invisible silk threads, and the red-haired lady would find that the dagger was no longer under her control.
If she hadn't wanted to see what the hidden stranger was going to do, the threads that had covered the room by the time she stepped into the living room would have rendered him incapacitated.
"Okay, okay, what are you going to do?"
She spoke in a panicked tone, like a fledgling rookie extraordinary, helpless under the threat of a sharp weapon.
"It's very simple, I'll stay in your room for a few days, you ask room service to bring in three meals a day, don't leave my sight, and when the ship docks, I'll let you go immediately."
Speaking of meals, the red-haired lady involuntarily licked her dry lips.
Sounds like a stowaway aboard the Blue Mountain Rose...... But she was wet and had the salty smell of the sea, more like a fish-man who climbed into a boat from the sea......
When I think of the fish man, I think of the delicious grilled fish steak and cheek meat, and Angel also wants to lick her lips a little, but the professional ethics of the actor stop her from acting like this.
"I'll listen to you, please put down the dagger first, I'm a little scared......"
made a crying expression, and even used the charm ability of "joy", even with the ordinary face provided by the "Ring of Madness", Angel successfully made the red-haired lady hesitate to put down the dagger.
"Well, as long as you do your bidding, I'm not a murderous pirate," she tucked the dagger back into the sheath at her waist and took off her dripping cloak, revealing the drenched red dress underneath, "Now, it's time to do your duty, and have the room service bring dinner for two." ”
She sat down on the couch by the window, despite the wetness, with a victorious smile on her face.
"You don't have to pretend to be like this, dare to carry a gun with you, would you be so afraid of a dagger? By the way, I haven't asked your name yet, 'poor' young lady," feeling that she was in control, the red-haired woman said with a hint of mockery in her tone, "as for me, you can call me, Elaine." ”
