At dusk, the Blue Avengers, whose voyage was delayed by Lieutenant Admiral Dusk, finally arrived at Hakata Port, where they would replenish fresh water and food, rest for the night, and then go deep into the unexplored sea the next day to find Angel's target, the island where the Gazer wanders.

Moreover, Angel also has to make some final preparations for the capture of this transcendent creature that can travel through the spirit world.

The sailors on duty pretended to pull the cables and hang the sails, and the "Blue Avenger" leaned lightly on the dock, and the spiral ladder smashed on the covered bridge as if it had fallen on its own, frightening the passers-by who passed by, and cursed a few words in a local language that they did not understand.

"Spend the night in the harbor tonight, meet early tomorrow morning, and set sail for the unnamed island in the southwest."

"The hanged man," commanded Alger from the deck, and the sailors cheered, and after a little tidying up, they descended the spiral staircase, left the docks, and entered the port town, where they were all about to have fun.

Although they were all Storm believers, and they were half of the armed men, whether it was to keep in line with other pirates or to relieve the pressure of working at sea for long hours, the Church acquiesced in doing things that did not violate the law, but were contrary to their teachings.

Seeing that "World" and "Queen" also left the ghost ship in the sailors, Alger chuckled and looked away.

The two have clearly shown intimacy these days, but they slept in separate rooms at night, most likely sensing the prying eyes of the ghost ship. And this belongs to the self-defense mechanism of the "Blue Avengers", and even Captain Alger can't stop it, so "taking a night off" after docking at the port today can be regarded as giving the two of them some personal time.

"I'm such a good ally......"

He crossed his waist and looked on the deck at the lights of the port town that were gradually brightening, and sighed with emotion, ready to go back to the captain's room to study tomorrow's route.

"Captain, do you want to go down together and release it? I know a good place. ”

A sailor who had not yet left asked with a smile when he saw Alger standing alone in the sea breeze, squeezing his eyes at the same time, hinting at the true meaning of "release".

The "mission" was apparently paid 600 pounds, of which 300 pounds Angel had been paid in advance, and a large part was distributed to all the sailors through Alger, and this rich remuneration made every sailor go to sea a little itching, and he respected the usually unsmiling captain even more.

This change in attitude can be seen in the fact that the sailors dared to come up and invite Alger, and they rarely invited their captain when they disembarked for entertainment, whether out of fear or subconscious alienation from their superiors.

Alger subconsciously wanted to refuse, but looking at the distant backs on the dock, his mouth opened, and finally said:

"Then go and have a couple of drinks.

"Remember to keep someone on duty."

He added, following the sailor aboard, his back erect, as if he had been relieved of some kind of burden.

————

"The bounty is actually ...... It's up ...... again."

Looking at the wanted notice on the table that read "Angelica Thatch", Angel pursed her lips and muttered in disbelief.

Originally, when she and Crane disembarked, in order to reduce the time for the "hypocritical" ring to change its appearance, she only brought a wig, and did not change her face shape and eye color, but as soon as she entered the port town, she saw her new wanted notice on the roadside billboard.

There was a bounty of £18,000.

Without hesitation, she turned on "hypocrisy", changed her appearance, and then took advantage of people's inattention to tear off the wanted warrant and take it away.

Of course, as a port that deviates from the main channel, Hakata Port does not belong to any country, and is itself a paradise for all kinds of pirates, and the wanted notice here is more of a comparison and negotiation between pirates, but when well-known pirates worth tens of thousands of pounds appear here, I am afraid that there will be many people who have the idea of "reforming the evil and returning to the right", and take the head in exchange for a bounty.

This is close to the value of the pirate general's head, and if it weren't for Mr. Fool's deterrence, I'm afraid that Alger, the "Hanged Man", would not be able to help but report it to the Church of the Storm......

"It's likely to be the Black Death, and if the official Extraordinaire or Navy had arrived in time at the time, it would have been easy to link its sinking to the 'City Breaker' incident, which you had already done in the eyes of the Storm Church."

Crane rubbed a flame and lit the wanted warrant, chuckling as he watched it turn to ashes on the table.

A sudden thought of competition crossed his mind.

As soon as they left Beckland and embarked on a trip to the five seas, the two had agreed to "compare the reward amount", although this bet was no longer mentioned because Angel was rising, so that he was a little worried about the amount of the reward, but when it came to 18,000 pounds, a number that could enter the first echelon of pirates, the "crazy adventurer" Gelman's restrained and crazy personality began to move again.

He dealt with flying heads and headless monsters in Bansi Harbor, killed "Steel" Maviti in Baiam, and helped the garrison clean up the fanatics of "Poseidon" and the rebels who attacked indiscriminately, but they either became the gratitude of Donna's family, or became the bounty and military remuneration received on their behalf, but they did not appear in the bounty list and became a "legend" that could be discussed above the five seas.

Next time, you can try to be more flamboyant and arrogant, and grasp the characteristics of the role......

Klein, who had already summed up the rules of playing and was not worried about being affected by "Gelman", thought about it, and suddenly his waist was poked, and the unbearable memories of the "Blue Avengers" for a few days instantly began to attack him, making him jump up from his chair with some stress.

"What are you thinking?" Angel smiled and withdrew her finger, "Tempted by my bounty?" ”

Actually, it's for you...... Klein hadn't changed his way of thinking from the "crazy adventurer" for a while, so he was really embarrassed to say this, so he coughed lightly and changed the subject:

"I'm wondering if I should use that radio receiver to ask the mechanical heart's seal, 'Arodes', before going to the Gazer, to see if it has a better way to deal with these spirit creatures. ”

"Well, I have some other ideas, but it's a good idea to ask it, but are you sure it will get you to you?"

"Gotta try first."

Crane took out the receiver from his suitcase, which he had put out of the gray fog in advance, connected the complicated wiring, and placed it in the living room window of the hotel suite, letting the dim moonlight shine on its surface.

Of course, based on the experience of the last time, the receiver would not immediately become "humble Arodes", and Crane had also performed divination on the gray fog and confirmed the safety of this contact, so he left the room with peace of mind and went to the restaurant downstairs for dinner.

About half an hour later, the two returned to the upper floor, and the moment they pushed the door in, as if they had been waiting for a long time, the letter firing pin of the radio receiver immediately struck, and an illusory translucent white paper spit out from below.

"Loyal servant Arodes has been waiting for a long time, are they two masters?"

There is also a simple picture of a smiling face drawn on it, and it must have taken a lot of thought for Arodes to spell out such a "facial mask" with monotonous letters.

It's also too ...... Humbled, is it really a seal controlled by an official Extraordinary?

Angel was dumbfounded, but Crane replied as if he had expected it:

"It's us.

"What I want to ask is, is the Gazer on the island southwest of the harbor?"

This is a question that the two have already discussed.

"If you ask a question like this, I just need to answer 'yes' to end the question, and I will help you change it to 'Where is the specific location of the gazer on the island to the southwest', do you think it's okay?"

The receiver was running at a speed that was almost smoking, despite the fact that it had not been able to replenish any power from the hand-cranked generator.

"Yes."

Even after seeing Arodes' behavior many times, the expression on Crane's face was almost untenable.

"Their location is shown in the picture below, they have been moving a lot lately, and they seem to have been frightened in some way, and the overflowing aura has reached the spirit realm, so I can catch it. Please go and arrest them as soon as possible, or these spirit creatures will soon change their residences. ”

Attached to the illusory page is a map drawn with simple lines and black dots, marking the relative orientation of Hakata Port to the island, as well as the approximate location of the "Gazer" on the island.

This is equivalent to answering two questions at once, which not only confirms that the gazer is on the island, but also provides a location, and reminds us to hurry up...... Angel was a little tempted to go up and disassemble the machine to see if there was a "Flame" Daniz lying inside.

"Now it's up to me to answer the questions."

Seeing Angel write down the information on the map, Klein said lightly.

"You've already answered it, and I'm happy with the answer."

The white paper spit out again, and the other party's flattery could be seen through the line of Ruenwen.

Answered?

Looking up, Klein felt a little unexpected when he saw the sentence "Can you see it" at the beginning of the question, but looking back at the character of this seal, he thought it was very reasonable.

"The second question, the rules and abilities of the 'Gazer'?"

As if he was going to devote all of tonight's Q&A to solving Angel's questions, Klein continued to ask questions without hesitation.

"They can freely shuttle between the spiritual world and reality, they are very mobile, once they burrow into the ground and mountains, they can hardly be attacked, and the targets that are included in their eyes will have negative effects such as slowness, weakness, and disease, and if they do not leave their sight in time, they will become more and more serious, and eventually die. In addition, they will also use some of the same path, the 'witch' path, such as a stand-in. Once they feel that the outcome of the battle will be unfavorable to them, the Gazer will immediately burrow into the spirit world and leave, and to deal with them, it is best to have the means to enter the spirit world at any time.

"The Gazers often live in small settlements, but rarely help each other, and if an enemy shows some strength and targets only one of them, the rest will choose to flee rather than help their companions. In the choice of tactics, this can be exploited.

"It's my turn to ask, did you know that some friendly, communicative spirit creatures can make temporary contracts to serve as helpers in battle?"

Combined with the previous question, and the fact that both of them were able to summon messengers, the point of this rhetorical question could not be clearer.

"I didn't know it before."

Klein replied, glancing at Angel, who also happened to look over, and both of them had the same emotion in their eyes:

This seal, this "Arodes", is too good, right?

"One last question."

After a long time, Angel exhaled, took two steps closer, almost stood by the receiver, and asked:

"How do I get my own 'ghost ship'?"
