Chapter 124: Meet on Olavi Island
"The next time I'm so impulsive, remember to persuade me."
With a third of the mainmast broken and sails swaying in the wind, the Redhead finally arrived at the port of Olawe Island before nightfall on Wednesday, docked at a dock with a repair dock.
Looking at the deck, which was sprinkled with sawdust and half of the ship's side was already bare, Angel whispered to Elaine beside her.
"I try."
The brown-haired lady muttered in reply.
She also looked tired, partly due to various accidents and battles along the way, and partly due to the negative effects of her "Ring of Madness".
As soon as she left Byam's private port, the "Redhead" encountered a storm that was not large and came and went quickly, which blew the sailboat away from its intended course and reminded Angel that she was also wearing a magical item that could make people unlucky.
Fortunately, with the grazing of the "Wind Favorer", Angel has a certain ability to control the wind, and through the unscientific but very occult method, standing on the deck and blowing against the sails, she let the ship that almost deviated and crashed into the reef barely return to the deep water, avoiding the tragic end of sinking when sailing.
Far from frightening the hired sailors, this display of extraordinary abilities quickly brought their already low morale back to its best, after all, the enemy Extraordinary is terrifying, and the Extraordinary you have are the most reliable teammates.
Under the command of Elaine, who has a lot of sailing experience, the yaw "Redhead" quickly returns to the normal course and rushes to Olavi Island, but the original plan to arrive before Klein quickly goes bankrupt due to the encounter with the pirate ship, and Angel, who has been depressed for a long time, finally finds a chance to vent.
Fearing that the Rune Army's ironclad ships would enter the five seas and that pirates would be swept out of the seas in droves, the pirates around the Rorsted Islands have been very active in recent months, eager to steal everything they see and make the last deal before they "wash their hands of gold", as well as eyeing Angel's pirate ships.
As soon as a few demonstrative shots were fired, breaking the mast of the new ship painted red, the pirates on the pirate ship found themselves beginning to experience symptoms such as dizziness, vomiting, and fever, and soon lay on the deck staggeringly, and before the captain who could barely hold on to the "disease" could give the order to retreat, he separated under the bone blade sticking out from his back.
The pirate ship was uncontrolled until Angel, carrying the captain's head, swam back to the Redhead and ordered the sailors to continue towards Olavi Island under the fearful eyes of the sailors.
Although no deadly germs were spreading, minor illnesses were enough to make the raiders uncomfortable for a while, and perhaps by the time the patrolling navy spotted them, none of the ships would be able to stand up.
After several twists and turns, the "Redhead" finally brought a boatload of sailors to Port Olavi, Angel could see that the two-day thrilling voyage had exhausted all the sailors, and she whispered a few words to Elaine, and let the sailors take three days off, anyway, the ship had to be overhauled, and I am afraid that there would not be a week before they wanted to leave the port again.
The two of them left the docks with the pirate captain's head wrapped in black cloth and headed to the Port Authority, where Elaine, who was familiar with the various processes, would go through the normal process of reporting the encounter, receiving a possible bounty, and arranging repairs for the "redhead".
"Hopefully this pirate's bounty will cover the cost of repairs."
Angel muttered, stepping into the busy port authority, his eyes quickly swept around, and there was no special discovery, which allowed Elaine to come in.
When the latter went to go through the formalities, Angel stood in front of the notice board, habitually looking for her wanted notice, in full view, she didn't dare to tear the wanted notice, but it was still necessary to know in advance.
Olavi Island is the transit point between the Blue Mountains Island where Byam is located and the many colonial islands in the Sunia Sea, which was originally a desert island, but gradually became a busy port city in the continuous development, and has long been connected to the cable telegraph, so the update speed of various wanted notices is much faster than that of small places with closed information.
Angel soon found his wanted notice in a less conspicuous corner of the notice board, and with the same simple description of his appearance, it was almost impossible to lock himself down, but the huge £18,000 bounty was still so glaring that one wanted to take the paper away.
"Oh, I'm almost confused about the Church of the Storm's intentions, I'm the only one who doesn't have a portrait of the more than £2,000 bounty wanted post, and the text description is very vague, it's almost perfunctory.
"'Lieutenant General of Disease' Tracy lost her flagship, and the bounty rose to 30,000 pounds, surpassing Lieutenant General Dusk, because the sinking scene of the 'Black Death' was too weird, and she also increased her value because of it? Then she has to thank me......
"'Blaze' is still the same, and he won't continue to work hard without us......"
Looking at the wanted warrants of familiar people, Angel had a long-lost sense of comparison, rejoicing that she was still worth three times as much as Daniz, and feeling that her defeated Tracy was so much more expensive than herself, until her eyes stayed on a newspaper clipping.
The telegraph could not transmit newspapers, so it must have been an old newspaper brought by a recent ship, with the madness of an adventurer who fired indiscriminately in a crowded bar, fought a pirate on a wanted warrant, killed and threatened to come to collect a bounty, and then walked away, dozens of people, including the pirate's friend, watched the whole process, but none of them dared to join the fight.
In the corner of the newspaper clipping, there is a portrait of an emaciated, angular face, with his name written in floral script underneath:
Gelman Sparrow!
Klein......
…… Why don't you call me such an interesting thing?
Remembering the thrill of breaking the moral prison of breaking the moral prison of her inner body when she had just arrived at sea, fleeing the scene after beating up the bartender in Damir Harbor and Klein, Angel felt that the blood flow rate of her whole body had accelerated.
However, it seems that the colonial authorities encouraged this kind of violent act of killing pirates in the streets...... She pondered, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Elaine in disguise walking out of the inner room, with a faint smile on her face.
"Bounty received?" She asked in a low voice as she approached, there were many people around, and although they were not worried about revenge, they still understood that their wealth was not exposed.
"Not yet, they want to verify the information, they can come down tomorrow at the earliest, a total of 800 pounds, you killed a famous pirate."
Elaine also replied in a low voice, her face glowing red with excitement, happy at the windfall.
"Sounds like a ...... of the 'Red Skull Pirates'"
Angel didn't care, a pirate with a maximum sequence of 9, killed and killed, the only regret was to hurry, and he didn't have time to wait for the other party's extraordinary characteristics to be precipitated, and he lost a small amount.
After leaving the Port Authority, Elaine prepares to stay at a nearby hotel to prepare for tomorrow's bounty and ship repairs, while Angel says goodbye to her and travels to the port city next to the docks, ready to find Klein's traces.
At the speed of the passenger ship, he should have arrived on Olavi Island a few hours before he had been deviated and pirated.
Hiding in the alley, Angel uses the magic mirror to perform a divination, but she is surprised to find that the divination has failed, and after a difficult confrontation between black and gray, she recovers the mirror.
"How do you feel that the time is not working, because I have been separated from him for too long, so the 'clues' of divination are insufficient, and I am disturbed by his anti-divination?"
Muttering, Angel quickly thought of another way, and she targeted Darkwell, who was traveling with Crane, and this time the divination soon revealed the picture of the fat pharmacist throwing chips in a casino, not at all like the miser she had known.
And in less than a minute as the picture shows, Darkwell has already won more than ten pounds, and Crane, who was carrying his luggage on the side, was dumbfounded.
Oh, it's so cruel to let Klein, who is bound to lose every gamble, see this kind of scene...... Angel laughed secretly in the alley for a while before divining the location of the two and finding the casino that was doing well.
————
"£595...... 600 pounds up. ”
Looking at Darkwell, who had gathered the chips in front of him and was about to cash in and leave, Crane once again doubted his luck.
"That 'Councillor of Fate' didn't use me to add luck to me, and it caused me to lose 30 pounds in ten minutes in the casino, how could I use it for Darkwell, and the effect was so significant? In less than two hours, he had already won £600 in three casinos...... If it weren't for the fear of being seen as a problem and having to change locations frequently, I would have been able to take the money and walk away by now. ”
After he escorted Darkwell, who had the uniqueness of the "monster" path and the "dice of probability", to Olawe Island, he wanted to rush back to Byam after asking for the payment, so as not to let Angel continue to sulk because of his own non-complaint, but he didn't expect that this miserly pharmacist only had 300 pounds on him, and the remaining 700 pounds of compensation had to be paid to others.
"Obviously, his luck did have a significant effect, but it didn't work on me, could it be that after I was promoted, the gray mist around me could isolate the influence of my 'fate'? This includes not only malicious but also well-intentioned...... Angel said that after being with me, her 'lucky' revolver became worse, was it also influenced by me? ”
As Darkwell finished exchanging cash with a smile on his face and prepared to leave, Klein analyzed it in his head.
"If I were you, hide the money immediately, lest you die in the middle of the night in an alley where no one is around."
He still remembers playing the role of the fat pharmacist.
"When I give you all the money, you'll be the one to worry about."
Darkwell, who was judged by his owl to be more suitable for the "hunter" potion, replied, but still listened and carefully hid the money in the inner pocket of his robe.
Will I be worried? I'm just worried that the thieves and robbers who come here won't have a bounty and won't be able to make an extra ......
Crane, whose mind had completely switched to Gelman mode, chuckled and turned around to take Darkwell out of the casino and win the rest of the money in a different place.
Behind him, Angel, with a sneering face, was standing with his chest crossed.
Bang –
The fat pharmacist, who was hiding the money, bumped headlong into Klein's not wide but now stiff back, and the owl on his shoulder, who was pretending to understand nothing, "quacked" and flew away from the three of them.
