Chapter 85: The Golden Dream
Daniz excitedly stood on the bow of the fishing boat, waving his arms at the giant ship in the distance, and after a while, the "Golden Dream" lowered a dinghy, and the four people rowed and quickly approached the fishing boat.
"Hey, boss!"
One of the sailors, with a triangular scarf wrapped around his head and a cardigan shirt and cropped pants, shouted.
It seems that this is the subordinate of the "fourth boatswain".
Daniz could no longer bear any longer, jumped straight from the fishing boat, landed firmly on the dinghy, cheered, and high-fived the sailors who rowed one by one, like a triumphant warrior.
"They are?"
The other sailor asked hesitantly, his gaze falling on the fishing boat.
Only then did he remember that there were two "guests" behind him, Daniz coughed lightly and introduced:
"This is the captain's guest, don't slack off, take them back with you."
Although his tone was gentle, he couldn't hide the happiness between the lines, and he had a sense of superiority to turn over and be the master.
Looking at Daniz, whose tail seemed to be upturned into the sky, Angel chuckled and jumped off the fishing boat.
In order to prevent people on the road from recognizing this as a wanted criminal worth 12,000 pounds, Angel used "hypocrisy" to disguise it slightly, black hair, brown eyes, round face, still beautiful, but only the original three-point appearance. Behind her, Klein was still dressed as Gelman, looking out at the steaming "Golden Dream" in the distance, as if studying the construction of the pirate ship.
When everyone looked at him, the cold-looking, expressionless adventurer took the box and stepped into the dinghy.
"Did you come up with anything?"
As the four sailors struggled to paddle, Angel leaned over and asked softly.
"The ship is not big, not even as good as the 'Red Skull' I saw last time, and there are not many cannons on both sides, but the main cannon arranged on the central axis is very special, and the pattern on it is a bit like an enlarged version of the charm."
Squinting at the strangely shaped pirate ship in the scorching sun, Crane commented in a low voice.
"It's called the Purification Cannon, and it's more powerful than the other forty cannons combined!" Daniz, whose ears had been pricked up, finally found an opportunity and leaned over and said loudly, "The prayer ceremony will be held by six 'Priests of Light', and after filling the spirit, ten shots can be fired in a row, and each time it can sink a target of the same level as the 'Golden Dream'." ”
This is the hole card that "Vice Admiral Iceberg" can rank as one of the seven pirate generals with a pirate ship?
Angel also squinted at the Golden Dream, and as the dinghy got closer, she could see the details of the imposing cannon with its barrel facing the sky, the intricate symbols and patterns on the barrel were layered on top of each other, and the pure light was circulating under the scorching sun.
Even if it takes three cannons to kill a ship, it can defeat four enemies with one...... But I don't know which one is stronger than my "Calamity" charm...... She pondered, deliberately not answering Daniz, who had a show-off expression, and soon noticed that his face had collapsed.
"Huh."
Crane on the side withdrew his gaze from afar and sneered.
————
With the help of cables, the trio made their way to the upper deck of the Golden Dream, where they met the busy sailors and Edwina Edwards, who stood silently by the main gun.
Unlike the beauty in the teacher's skirt that she had seen in Daniz's dream, Advina was still wearing long hair, but she was wearing a more sassy pair of trousers, knee-high boots, a beige coat buttoned up, and a command knife pinned to her waist.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Gelman, and ...... Miss Angelica? ”
She took the initiative to catch up.
"Hello, Madam Captain, I've disguised myself a little."
Angel responded, out of the corner of his eye as Daniz slipped aside and greeted the sailors who were all looking at him, stopping the crowd and leaving room for the three of them to talk.
From time to time, of course, he cast a wary gaze, a little worried that the mad adventurer, the good-faced lady with a black face, would clash with his own captain.
"Aren't you guys just around Byam, worried about the Storm Church and the military's warships?"
After slowly pacing to the other side of the main gun, avoiding the eyes of the sailors, Angel asked first.
"They protect the main shipping lanes, as well as near important ports, Glagus is a small port, there is not even a church, almost half of the pirate station, this week, there are already blood admirals, sick lieutenant generals, and even the 'king of the five seas' Nast's fleet passing by, very lively."
Looking at the endless sea in the distance, Adevina replied in a flat tone, in line with the rumored cold attitude.
"What are they looking for around here?"
Klein interjected.
"Something must have attracted them, and I came, which can be explained in the occult as ......"
Lieutenant General Iceberg paused in the middle of speaking, as if she didn't know how to describe it, she pulled over a fishing net that was drying next to the main gun mount, hung the two corners to make a fairly flat surface, and scattered the pens, potion bottles, ritual daggers and other objects in her pocket on the net at random, so that they showed an irregular distribution.
Then, she removed the command knife from her belt and threw it into the middle of the small objects. The command knife, which weighed several catties with a sheath, immediately pressed the fishing net into a funnel shape, driving the surrounding pens and daggers to roll towards it, and finally squeezed together.
It's like a massive object distorting the space-time around it...... Angel stopped his scientific notion halfway through the thought and turned to the occult.
If this "model" is presented, then all the pirate generals, and even the pirate kings, came to the vicinity of Byam because of a special new event......
The "Blood Admiral" came because the second mate was booby-trapped, the "Sick Lieutenant General" is most likely looking for Elaine, and the "Iceberg Lieutenant General" is because he wants to cooperate with us to deal with the Blood Admiral...... Aside from Nast, the "King of the Five Seas", the other three are really because of me and Klein?
"It's a lively teaching, but it's not about us."
Unlike the pensive Angel, Klein replied with a straight face.
"It's just a simple guess."
Advina replied softly, unimpressed, her tone always had a calming power, perhaps due to the fact that she often tutored the crew on the ship.
"What do you think of the 'Blood Admiral' going deep into the Furious Sea?"
After watching the other party retract his belongings and rehang the nets, Angel continued to ask.
"He's not following a regular shipping lane, maybe not trying to cross the Furious Sea to the Southern Continent, just looking for something on the periphery, and I have some kind of source of information that I can know where he is on a regular basis, and if he returns to the Rorsted Islands, you'll know."
"What about the Lieutenant General of the Disease?"
"I think you should already know that she is a Sequence 5 'Pain' witch, and the force behind it is the Witch Sect, she is not like ordinary pirates, rarely robs passing merchant ships, and even does not love to kill, she has her own ideas and pursuits, but she will also work for the organization and transport those who have been kidnapped. She doesn't seem to have any other tasks lately, and has been wandering around Byam, looking for something. ”
I'm afraid I'm looking for her "lover...... Angel almost couldn't hold back the corners of her mouth, nodded, and quickly ended the topic.
After that, she and Klein asked a few more questions, such as the location of the "Mermaid" and the news of the "Gazer", and the conclusion was consistent with what Arodes said in the receiver, which also made Angel firm in the idea of going to find the "Gazer" with the Hanging Man's ship at the end of the month, and if he missed this clue, he might really have to wait for the news of Silver City and Mr. "Sun".
"So, Madam Captain, you didn't invite us here simply to answer our questions?"
Seeing that he had almost asked what he wanted to know, Angel asked in a low voice.
"What I want to know is ......" Adevina looked not far away, although they were chatting, but from time to time paying attention to the crew on this side, and took a few steps to the other side, "Who are you?" ”
Without waiting for Angel to open her mouth, she immediately added:
"Angelica Thatch, Gelman Sparrow, from Beckland, came to sea via Plitz Harbor last month in search of a high-paying adventurer...... These identities are well fabricated, but they are not real enough.
"To be able to kill the Bishop of the Church of the Storm in Bansey Harbor, to make it so still a blockade, and to be able to easily deal with 'Steel' Maiviti and his men, such an adventurer could not have been unknown until recently, and only recently came to prominence."
Looks like we've been investigated in detail...... She's a pirate general and also has her own intelligence network in Beckland? No, maybe it's the effort of the forces behind her......
Angel thought about it, and was about to say a few perfunctory words, when Klein, who was beside her, had already replied:
"Everyone has some little secrets, you just need to know, we won't do you harm...... Not at the moment. ”
"Well, what about Kavituwa? Before He died, you made sacrifices to Him, and after He died, the 'Poseidon' was still responding to the devout believers. ”
Adevina asked.
Sacrifice?
Angel couldn't help but want to look at Klein beside him, but held back at the last minute.
Although she was a little puzzled, she couldn't expose any differences between herself and Klein in front of "Lieutenant General Iceberg".
And she could guess that this should be Mr. "Fool's task", combined with his response at the tarot meeting, I am afraid that "Fool" has really begun to exercise the power of "Poseidon".
"Is it possible for me to cooperate with you, and the forces behind you?"
Seeing that the two of them were cold and silent, Adevina was not discouraged, but continued with anticipation.
"Isn't the cooperation with us already underway?" Angel chimed in, alluding to the plan to hunt the 'Blood Admirals,' "Plus, his gloves are called 'Wriggling Hunger.'" ”
Presumably, "Lieutenant General Iceberg" already knew about this from Daniz, after all, Crane showed the power of this magical item when he rescued Donna and his family in Bansey Harbor and fought "Steel", and as one of the pirate generals, Edwina must know the details of the death of "Lieutenant General of the Hurricane", and knew that a high-level extraordinary person held "Wriggling Hunger", which means......
To cooperate with the forces behind us, the Tarot Society, which has the authority of a high-level powerhouse and the authority of "Poseidon", you alone are not qualified......
Mr. Azik, that's the price you pay for always going and coming back in forgetfulness...... Angel didn't feel the slightest guilt for lifting this extraordinary person who might even have the strength of an angel out to intimidate Edwina, not to mention that the other party was a relative of the "fool".
"I see, let's keep the status quo for now."
The intelligent Advina understood everything immediately, bowed her head slightly, replied, then looked at the sky and pointed to the cabin behind her:
"I've got lunch ready for you."
"Thank you."
Angel said, following Klein one after the other, following the pirate general who had regained his cold expression into the cabin, and the eager crew members behind him crowded forward, hesitating whether to follow, especially Daniz, who unabashedly poked his head into the hatch and looked at the three people walking towards the dining room.
"The atmosphere on your boat is pretty good."
Hearing the movement behind him, Angel couldn't help but comment.
She thought that the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" would be proud, but she didn't expect the corners of this cold lady's mouth to twitch rarely, and she looked a little ...... Angry?
"I am prepared to let Daniz remain in Byam, to stay with you, as a liaison between the two sides, and I hope you can provide some protection."
Flutter –
There seemed to be a dull voice behind him.
