Chapter 84: A Provocation with Excellent Effect
"There's interference, but not intensely? Is Elaine's own anti-divination measure? That's right, if she had no way to do divination, she would have been caught by Tracy by all means...... As long as it doesn't fall into the hands of a pirate of the level of a pirate general, with her Sequence 7 strength, at least there will be no problem in escaping......"
Seeing that the red-haired lady was not in danger of her life, Angel was relieved.
It's that the other party has returned to Midrange Island again for some reason, which makes her a little curious.
It can't be that you have been shipwrecked again and boarded the wrong ship...... This is not unlikely, after all, last week due to the attack of Poseidon on Byam, the whole of the Rorsted Islands had a tsunami of varying degrees...... Could it be that the negative effects of my "Good Luck" revolver are affecting her?
Angel was about to laugh at Elaine when she heard a knock on the door behind her.
"Who?"
She asked warily.
"It's me, Daniz."
Outside the door, there was the shrill voice of "Blaze".
Daniz? Did he come to Klein?
Angel heard the other man's voice, relieved herself, and got up to open the door.
Standing outside the door in disguise, with black hair and blue eyes, and a "flame" with a peaked cap, he is now worth 6,000 pounds, and he doesn't dare to show his true face when he goes out, otherwise his skyrocketing value will not be matched by the corresponding strength, and will become a meal on the plate of many adventurers, intelligence dealers, and pirate informants in the "City of Generosity".
"What's the matter?"
Curiously asked, Angel looked behind Danitz and found no trace of Klein.
"Gelman asked me to tell you that he followed SeΓ±or's first mate to the 'Red Theater' and may not be back tonight."
How dare he mention the Red Theater...... Angel almost couldn't hold back a smile on his face, and was about to open his mouth to ask a few questions, when he suddenly felt a hint of incongruity, his eyes narrowed, and he carefully looked at Daniz in front of him, until the latter took a step back with some confusion.
Daniz...... No, you should be called Gelman, is it fun to be 'Faceling'? β
She reached out and poked at Daniz's waist, but was deftly dodged by the other party.
"How do you see that?" The skin on his face squirmed and became angular, and his face became more youthful, and his hair color and pupil color returned to normal, "No, you guessed too, otherwise you wouldn't have called me 'Gelman'......"
"That's also a guess, after all, the 'Facelings' can only imitate the appearance, not the target's abilities."
Angel nodded triumphantly, satisfied with his judgment.
"Ability? Do you say arson? β
Crane was a little curious, and with a flick of his wrist, a bright yellow fireball floated out and smashed directly into the carpet in the center of the living room, disappearing with a pop and not causing any damage.
This is the illusion of the "magician".
"No, it should be a trait in him to be precise, the trait of a 'provocateur', if Daniz said what you just said, it would make me want to hit him even more...... In addition, my magic pocket watch has been sold, and the flames will not scare me in the future. β
"I'm not going to scare you......" Crane muttered into the living room, slamming the door behind him, his somewhat old-fashioned coat flickering and elongated into a black trench coat.
"Did you really go to the Red Theater in the form of Daniz?"
Looking at Klein, who skillfully used illusions to change clothes and change appearance with the "Faceling" ability, Angel asked suspiciously.
"How is that possible!" Klein flatly denied it, "It's not open during the day...... No, that's not the point, 'Blood Admiral' Segnor has probably bypassed Byam and headed south, and last week's ravages of Poseidon and the rebels' attacks have made the 'City of Generosity' look like a vigilant hedgehog, and no one wants to come over and touch the head. β
This topic managed to attract Angel's attention, she frowned and thought for a moment, and said:
"Then our plan to hunt the blood generals is considered bankrupt?"
"Maybe I can only find another opportunity, it seems that the death of a second mate has not made him lose his mind, and dare to brave the limelight to come near Baiam."
After that, the two stared at each other and sighed together.
Angel's sighing big bounty slipped away, and Klein felt that he had missed a great opportunity to make "Gelman Sparrow" famous and complete the role of "Faceling" by the way.
"However, after you sell the 'Magic Pocket Watch', you should already have a deposit of 6,000 pounds, plus my part, you can already buy the main material of a potion, and when you find the 'Eye Starter' and obtain another material, you can almost make up the ......"
There was another knock at the door, which made Klein slam shut his mouth, and he looked back at the door and whispered:
"It's really Daniz here."
"Then you turn into a fake 'Daniz' again, see which one is more like?"
Angel said softly, trying not to be heard by the real thing outside the door.
"Didn't you say that his provocative abilities could not be imitated?" Klein also replied in a low voice, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his face quickly distorted and deformed, turning into an undisguised "flame" appearance, "Let's take a look at his real 'provocation' ability, shall we?" β
β¦β¦
Outside the door, Daniz continued to knock impatiently, he could hear some squirming conversations behind the door, if it was on the door, he might be able to hear it, but he had already learned one thing after so many days of difficult survival: look less, listen less, ask less, if you don't know, then it doesn't exist.
This allowed him to regain the days of fishing on the "Golden Dream" for a long time, and there was not even a class here!
Bang bang β
He knocked on the door again.
"Come in."
The sound from inside froze Daniz in place.
That's the voice of his captain, "Lieutenant Admiral Iceberg" Edwina Edwards!
Hell, shit, I heard me wrong? Is it because I was recalling the lesson just now, so I had auditory hallucinations?
He muttered, his hand raised and lowered, and finally pressed the handle and pushed the door open to look inside the suite.
The scenes he dreamed of countless times were truly presented in front of him.
Dressed in a black coat and a brown vest, Daniz sat cross-legged on the sofa, her short blond hair arrogantly raised, holding a wine glass in one hand, the crystal of wine swaying, and the other hand resting on the back of the sofa.
In the crook of her arms, a woman with a high nose and thin lips was half-reclining, with long brown hair tied in a beautiful and delicate knot, wearing a thin women's shirt on the upper body, a waist-cinching jacket, and an over-the-knee skirt that exposed her ankles.
That's really, really his captain, Adevina!
Daniz's eyes widened, and he only felt that he was back in a dream, back to the peach-colored dream that he often woke up in disbelief that he had at his fingertips.
But if it was my dream, how could I be at the door, watching myself and the captain, and the captain, like a third person......
He suddenly realized that something was wrong, and his spiritual alertness poured down from his head like a basin of cold water, which made him shake his mind and wake up.
"Ge, Gelman Sparrow?" His voice was choppy and trembling, and then he turned his gaze to the woman with Edwina's face on top, and subconsciously shrunk his neck in the gaze of the other party's light blue eyes, "Angelica Thatch? β
Although Daniz remembers that the latter only has the ability to change appearance, not body, if the man is Gelman, then the woman must be Angelica.
He couldn't imagine Gelman holding a strange woman in his arms, just as he wouldn't have seen a woman other than the captain in his dreams.
Sure enough, the faces of the two people in front of him changed rapidly, and they returned to the two people he was familiar with.
"Experimenting with a, relatively new, well, provocative methods."
Gelman smiled a rare smile and said in a flat tone.
I'm provoking you bitch to raise you!
Daniz took a deep breath, arched his spine, and was about to blurt out all the insulting Intis, Fursack, Rune, and Elven words he remembered to teach the two in front of him what real provocation was.
But in the end, remembering the brand-new wanted warrant worth Β£12,000 he had just seen downstairs, and the "wriggling hunger" that unleashed strong malice, the thousand words in his belly finally turned into a short sentence:
"It works pretty well."
Well, you can see it from the green veins on your forehead and the clenched teeth...... Angel cleared her throat, regained her tone, and asked:
"What's the matter?"
"The captain asked me to inform you in my dream newsletter that the fleet of the 'Blood Admiral' SeΓ±or has passed through the island of Long Tail, southwest of Baiam, and is preparing to go deep into the Tempest Sea, according to its current course, she asked...... She asked you if you would like to go to the Golden Dream and discuss your next steps. β
Daniz's face turned purple, and he seemed to be reluctantly passing on his captain's message.
To meet the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" Adewina?
Angel, who had just turned into a fake Edvina with the "hypocrisy" ring, felt a little hot on her face.
ββββ
With 12,000 pounds and 6,000 pounds worth of wanted criminals in the ranks, the trio had to buy expensive tickets that did not require identification, and traveled all day from Byam to the nearby port of Gragus via Derinius, and rented a rudimentary fishing boat to leave the port, until the harbor behind them disappeared under the sea level, and a hybrid warship with steam and sails 80 meters long and painted golden yellow appeared in front of Angel's eyes.
This is one of the Seven Pirate Generals, the flagship of the "Iceberg Lieutenant General" and the only ship under his command, the "Golden Dream".
