She'd been hungry for it for a long time, and since she boarded the Blue Avenger and saw the magic of a ghost ship that didn't need to be operated by a living person, she had completely forgotten about the "Redhead" she had paid for £2,000.

What kind of ship can you compare to a ghost ship that can be maneuvered by a single captain and has a maximum speed of more than 25 knots?

If the Hanged Man is not a member of the Tarot Society, if he is just a pirate who does all kinds of evil...... Every night, Angel would even have such a thought in her heart that made her ashamed to face it.

Now that the information of the "Gazer" has been resolved, and Klein has put on an expression of "I'll leave it all to you tonight", Angel naturally doesn't want to miss the opportunity.

"Rather than the ship of death, which lost its crew for various reasons, floated alone on the sea, and was mistaken for a ghost ship, I think you should be asking about the real 'ghost ship' built in the Quaternary period."

The Alodes radio clattered with a firing pin on the illusory white paper.

"They are all ships built in a lost way, with specific extraordinary characteristics sealed into the hull, capable of raising the sails, advancing and even fighting on their own in response to the command of the captain or designated controller, and gradually repairing themselves even if damaged. Depending on the extraordinary characteristics of the seal, it can show different combat methods like the Extraordinary. Of course, a small number of them have their own minds, and even do things that are contrary to orders.

"Near you is a mighty ghost ship, from the Fourth Age, where the gods roam the world and whose extraordinary powers are abused unbridled, waiting for you.

"Of course, it is up to you to accept its services or not."

Angel felt a sense of absurdity in her heart.

Is Arodes referring to the "Blue Avenger" of the "Hanged Man" Alger?

Angel couldn't help but tilt her head to look out the window, and on the dock in the distance, the towering mast of the "Blue Avenger" was faintly visible.

This ghost ship with its own mind must have a living sailor keeping vigil, otherwise it will most likely raise its own sails and escape from the dock as fast as possible.

It had been spying on me and Crane before, and it wasn't going to give in completely just because I threatened it with the "Calamity" charm, and even wanted to defect from the Storm Church, just like this Arodes...... She thought about it, and there was a little hope in her heart.

"It's my turn to ask, is that okay?"

When Angel came to his senses, the receiver carefully spat out a few words.

"Yes."

Although she guessed that Arodus wouldn't ask embarrassing questions that went straight to the dark side of people's hearts, she took a deep breath and prepared.

"Thank you for your answer."

This seal, which had a mind of its own, once again made the two of them feel the limits of humility and flattery.

"The breath is about to dissipate, and the two loyal servants of Arodus are waiting to offer their knowledge and power once again......"

The receiver spat out two lines of words at the end, and then it was silent.

"It's really...... A peculiar seal. ”

I don't know how to describe it, but after a long silence, Angel spoke.

"From the first time we came into contact with it, it had a different attitude towards us than it did towards the 'mechanical heart', and at least so far, it has been harmless to us, and even very helpful."

Crane looked at the newspaper receiver by the window and whispered.

He suddenly remembered that the first encounter between the two and "Arodes" was at the house of Issinger Stanton in Beckland, the day he had just driven out the "Apostle of Desire".

And then there ......

Thinking of what happened that day, and the "surprise" that confirmed Angel's feelings for him, Klein cautiously glanced at Angel beside him, and was surprised to find that the other party was also secretly looking at him.

She remembered that day...... Klein immediately confirmed this.

Compared with the "Pleasure" witch period, Angel's allure from extraordinary abilities and appearances and movements has been restrained, but when she is alone, she will deliberately show it to achieve far more than before.

And when I was on "Blue Avengers", she kept teasing me......

Thinking with some indignation, Klein suddenly became "Gelman" as if he had withdrawn from himself, his face sank, and he suddenly reached out and put his arm around Angel, leaned into her ear, and whispered softly:

"I actually heard ...... outside the door that day"

Before he could finish speaking, he was satisfied to see Angel's amethyst-like eyes widen and her moist lips slightly open.

"W, what day?"

She awkwardly denied it, but the crimson cheeks said it all.

Crane, who had been on the boat for many days, couldn't hold back any longer, picked her up, and walked to the bedroom.

Anyway, the "Blue Avengers" will leave tomorrow......

Angel struggled with her hands and feet in his arms, trying to get rid of the pinch, but her push and kick seemed so weak at the moment with her physical strength and melee skills far superior to the opponent's.

It's like a caress for Klein.

"Bang-"

The door was shut, and only the radio receiver sat silently in the moonlight.

Da, da, da.

The firing pin was gently tapped to answer the question, but the illusory white paper, which had not disappeared, spat out a part of it, drawing a small figure with tears waving its hands but a smile on its face.

Whoosh, as if fearful of being discovered, the paper was sucked back inside the machine.

————

Early the next morning, loaded with water and fresh food, and re-boarding the sailors who had returned satisfied after eating, drinking, and merrymaking, the "Blue Avenger" hoisted its sails, left Hakata Port, and headed at full speed southwest.

Angel, who had not returned for the night, provided Alger with a clear and accurate map, and according to the latter's judgment, the ghost ship would arrive on the nameless island in the afternoon, after which Angel and Crane would leave the team to search for traces of the Gazer, and as agreed, Alger and his sailors would not have to, or dare to participate.

It's a transcendent creature that can provide Sequence 4 potion materials, so I'm not going to join in the fun...... Alger pondered, looking at the "world" with a blank but obviously tired face.

The two went out and didn't return all night......

He thought that he had understood the truth of the matter, and when he saw the "queen" get out of the cabin with her luggage first, she slowly stepped forward and said:

"I know a pharmacist who can help you, and when you get back to Byam, you go to the herb shop in the alley diagonally opposite the Red Theater to find him.

"I also heard from the sailors, but they all said it worked."

Worried that the other party would misunderstand that he knew this, Alger added.

After a brief pause, Klein understood what the hanged man meant.

I'm going to set it on fire next time, and no one can persuade me...... He took a deep breath, squeezed out a sneer, and barely maintained the character of "Gelman".

"No, I don't."

————

With its sails fully open, the Blue Avenger took advantage of the sideways breeze at an extremely precise angle, and the ships behind it that watched it sail into uncharted waters and tried to catch up to see what was going on were quickly thrown away by its unbeatable speed and reluctantly turned away.

With precise orientation, the ghost ship arrived at its target before dusk, when the sun was still setting in the southwest direction, the island where the "Gazers" were said to wander.

Angel took the monoculars he had borrowed from Alger's and leaned in front of him to look at the distant island where the coastline was still hidden beneath the water antenna.

"There is a mountain peak in the north and south, and a narrow valley in the middle, although I can't see the coast, but it should be the one I'm looking for, but I don't see the stranded ship, maybe it has been rescued."

She said to Klein, handing him the binoculars.

"Now that the wind is in that direction, we'll be there in an hour or so," Alger squinted his eyes and looked at the target with the Voyager's remarkable eyesight, "Do you spend the night on the ship and explore the next day, or do you start as soon as you arrive?" ”

It was already about four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun would dim for two hours at most, making it unsuitable for exploring unfamiliar places, Angel wanted to answer that he would set out again tomorrow, but remembering Arodes's reminder, fearing that the "Gazer" would soon change his place of residence because of some kind of fright, he replied after a moment of silence:

"I'll make a decision when I get there."

She and Crane exchanged glances, and the two of them made their way into the cabin and returned to their rooms.

"I'm going to try to summon that black cat messenger first, try what Arodes said, and if Lady Winsa responds positively, we'll set out at dusk and find the Gazer as soon as possible, and if it refuses to help, we'll be ready to land tomorrow morning."

After telling Klein about her concerns, she said as she set up the candles and set up the altar.

"I've also contracted a messenger to communicate, and if you refuse, you can try mine."

With a smile on his lips, Crane leaned against the wall and watched Angel set up the altar.

"Ms. Winsa is very powerful, I suspect it was alive...... Well, maybe it's alive now...... It's a mid-sequence extraordinary, not even worse than I am now. ”

Construct a spiritual wall that includes Klein, Angel said, rubbing the spiritual fire and lighting the candle, and began to recite the summoning incantation.

“…… A messenger exclusively for Angelica Thatch. ”

“……”

The spiritual wall was silent, the candlelight burned smoothly, and the two of them stared at each other, both of them seeing puzzlement on each other's faces.

Ms. Winsa didn't even want to respond?

"Oh, it looks like I'm still going to have to do it!"

As soon as Gelman chuckled and stepped forward, Angel poked him violently, and the muscles in his abdomen twitched for a while before calming down.

He waited for Angel to extinguish the candle and finish the ceremony, and then directly used the existing altar to recite the incantation to summon the messenger.

Due to the fact that they were all under the guidance of Mr. Azik to find the messenger to make a contract, Crane's messenger summoning spell was almost identical to Angel's, except that the final name was changed to "Gelman Sparrow".

After the mantra was recited, the room was equally silent.

"Let's go back to the island tomorrow morning, right?"

After a long silence, Angel said hesitantly.

……

Above deck, Alger Wilson watched with a sweat on his forehead as the sails danced overhead, seemingly pulled by dozens of frenzied sailors pulling on cables.

Somehow this ghost ship has been in an unknown change since a few minutes ago, although it barely keeps course and speed towards the nameless island, it is quite reluctant, if it is not for the fact that the captain of the ship has been giving it an order in his heart that it cannot refuse, I am afraid that it will immediately turn its bow and get as far away from its destination as possible.

"Is it afraid of that island? No, we've been following the course without changing, and I've also raised the defense level to the maximum...... Wouldn't it be some courier running towards my ship? ”

Alger muttered, looking down in the direction of the room of the two Tarot members, and a thought came to his head that he felt was impossible.

"Woo, woo-"

The whistling of the sea breeze through the canvas was heard, and the "Blue Avenger" seemed to give up resistance, and the sail quickly stabilized.

……

In the room, Angel and Crane were about to clean up the altar and remove the spiritual wall, when suddenly the wind stirred, and the flames of the extinguished candle exploded.

A humanoid figure slowly emerged from the flames, dressed in an intricate black dress with a neat cut around her neck, and two heads with long blond hair in each hand.

At this time, one of the heads in her right hand was biting a ball of black fur, and below was the big black cat that was gnawing on her back, but she was pinching the cheeks of the other head with her teeth and claws, and the two heads in her left hand also stepped forward, and her scarlet eyes were staring at the black cat, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

As the two stared at in amazement, the two couriers, who had been beaten together, abruptly stopped moving.
