Chapter 99: The Blue Avenger

Along the planks on the upper deck, the two men came to the three-masted galleon.

The blue-haired man, dressed in a clerical robe depicted with storms and lightning, stepped forward and struck his right fist to his left chest, with such amplitude that his chest thumped, revealing the linen shirt underneath the robe.

"The storm is above, and you're finally here."

Seeing the "Hanged Man" Alger Wilson solemnly practicing the etiquette of the Storm Believer, Angel nodded with a smile and said:

"Time is tight, but there are so many places to go, when can we go?"

She was dressed today in a bodysuit that was easy to move, with a long trench coat over it, similar to what she had dressed in Tingen, and her face was also disguised to a certain extent with a "hypocritical" ring, covering her shoulder-length pale blonde hair, and rare purple eyes.

But in order to use makeup and wigs to change her appearance without using the dangerous "hypocrisy" of side effects, she didn't make too many changes to her appearance, so as soon as she stepped onto the deck, the busy sailors looked this way, their eyes nakedly on her chest, waist and hips, until Alger looked coldly, and then pretended to continue working.

"When all these supplies are loaded onto the ship, we can set sail, have you brought the advance payment?"

"Bring it, a total of 300 pounds, and pay the other half at the end of the voyage."

Angel replied loudly, taking out the envelope that had been prepared from the inner pocket of his trench coat and handing it to the other party.

Alger counted the bills in front of the sailors and nodded:

"That's right, that's all there to do, are you going into the cabin to rest, or are you looking at the scenery on the deck?"

"Here it is."

When Alger returned to the back of the deck to direct the sailors to continue carrying the cargo, Angel and Crane came to the bow of the ship, pretending to look out over the busy scene of the private harbor, until they felt that the eyes behind them were no longer paying attention to them, and Crane chuckled and whispered:

"That's a terrible acting, well, I mean him."

I wanted to reach out and poke the other party, but considering that there were still many people on the deck, Angel still didn't stretch out his hand, but replied in the same low voice:

"Anyway, it's just for them to see, they should have a lot of dividends for private work, and no one will be stupid enough to snitch."

The previous performance was completely arranged by the hangman, in order to give himself an excuse to leave the port, and to avoid being denounced by his subordinates, the 300 pounds and the subsequent "final payment" were handed over to Angel in advance, and the reverse hand returned to himself, and finally it will be distributed to the sailors who followed the port as dividends for this "private work".

On the surface, Alger is the captain of the pirate ship "Blue Avenger", leading his men to attack merchant ships, rob property, and do a lot of "black and black" things against pirates, of course, he often accepts some commissions to earn payment.

But in fact, he belongs to the Storm Church's rangers, and the sailors are also believers in the Storm, infiltrating the pirate team, seeking information on the sea for the Church, and even solving some "troubles" for the Church if necessary.

Therefore, if he went to the nameless island by himself and hunted extraordinary creatures to obtain the main materials of the "Wind Favorer", he would definitely not be able to hide from his followers, and he would expose the secret of his self-promotion.

And with Angel's "hiring", the whole thing can be logical, she uses Alger's money to hire the "Blue Avengers" to go to the nameless island, hunt the extraordinary creatures there, and all the materials obtained are also accepted by her, and then secretly handed over to Alger.

The sailors can get the task dividend, and they will not take the initiative to report the matter, as long as the acting skills are qualified, everything is seamless.

And I can also use this to go to the islands where the "Gazer" may appear, killing two birds with one stone...... Angel pondered, looked at the rebels and pirates busy in the port, and suddenly became puzzled, and asked:

"This port is so close to Byam, why haven't Rune's garrison and the Storm Church come to occupy or even destroy it?"

"Maybe they've been eyeing this place for a long time, but in order to better monitor the rebels, they deliberately left such an opening in and out of Blue Mountain Island."

As a former keyboard political scientist, Klein thought for a moment and came up with such a reason.

"That's right, the Storm Church did know about this place for a long time, and the reason why it wasn't destroyed was to set aside such a convenient target to monitor, so that the rebels and pirates would not continue to penetrate deep into the southwest of Blue Mountain Island, and establish other ports in uninhabited dense forests and reef areas with complex sea conditions."

Behind the two men, the slightly muffled voice of the hanged man, Alger, kicked the ass of a few sailors who were busy admiring Angel's back, causing the progress of the carriage to lag, and then came to the bow of the ship to hear what the two were discussing.

The three of them are all believers in the Fool, Angel and Alger have known each other for a long time at the Tarot meeting, so they are not very wary of each other, seeing that it is him, Angel smiled and asked:

"What about the other half?"

"There are a lot of people with deep backgrounds in the colony, who have established smuggling channels, invested in pirate fleets, and even had a lot of close contacts with the rebels, who also need this port, even more than the rebels."

Alger replied, walking to the side of the ship and looking at the docks, which were becoming busier with the morning sun and the clouds looming over the clouds.

"Moreover, the rebels here belong to the 'moderates' according to the Church, and although they are also on the list of purged by the Church and the military, they are relatively low, and their activity is even conducive to the Church and the military maintaining their presence in the Rorsted Islands."

What he meant...... Self-respect?

Angel was a little stunned, she looked at Klein, and found that the other party's eyes also showed surprise, and then she felt a little better.

"We're ready to set sail, are you going to see the room in the cabin? This 'Blue Avenger' has a lot of rooms, so you can choose any of them. ”

Alger was pleased with the reaction of the two, and he asked, gesturing to the stairs leading into the cabin.

"It's going to rain soon, and now you're out to sea?"

Crane, who had been silent, asked suddenly.

Looking at the Fool Believer with whom he had collaborated once, Alger chuckled and looked back at his ghost ship.

"It's okay, the storm can't catch up with us."

Soon, Angel knew what this sentence meant.

The sails on the mast fell on their own, puffing up in the growing wind, and with a handful of sailors pulling the cables below, the Blue Avenger left the dock at a jaw-dropping speed, made a zigzag trajectory against the wind, drove out of the haven under the watchful eyes of the pirates and sailors on the dock, and disappeared into the pouring rain.

At least 25 knots, faster than a steamer, and no sailors are needed...... No wonder he dared to leave the harbor in a storm, and dared to use a ship of dozens of people as a pirate, I am afraid that except for the ambush in advance, surrounded by multiple ships, or a direct attack by an extraordinary person with flying ability, other pirates and navies will not be able to leave it......

Looking at the distant port, estimating the speed, Angel showed a look of envy in his eyes, compared with this old-looking, but actually extremely powerful "Blue Avenger", the "redhead" he bought for 2,000 pounds was simply a sampan.

I don't know how much Mr. "Hanged Man" will have to sell it......

Following Alger as he led the way, she and Crane soon arrived in the cabin below deck.

This ghost ship has a strong Quaternary design style, with a wide belly, a deep draft, and a staggering length of fifty meters, and dozens of cabins with different functions are divided inside, but all the sailors add up to less than thirty, and this time the "private work" only brought twenty people, so the interior is extremely empty and quiet.

If it weren't for the sake of concealment, he would probably prefer to go out of port alone, anyway, the ghost ship is under the command of the captain, and there is no need for sailors to control it......

Resisting the urge to ask, Angel followed him to the cabin area, where Alger pointed to the doors on either side of the corridor and said:

"It's all unoccupied rooms, you can pick one by one, or ......"

His expression suddenly became a little strange, and he didn't continue.

"Ahem, then I'll choose this one."

Angel hurriedly picked a room near the stern, pushed open the somewhat peeling wooden door and entered, behind her, Klein twitched the corners of his mouth a little helplessly, opened the door of the adjacent room, and walked in with his luggage.

"Am I saying something wrong?"

Stroking his hair, which was as messy as seaweed, Alger looked puzzled, but as the captain of the ghost ship, he could monitor most of the anomalies in the ship, and he was not worried about what chaos would happen between the two, so he didn't dig into it and turned to leave.
