After nightfall, the "City of Generosity" Byam looks more lively than during the day, the largest city in the Rorsted Islands, and even the five seas, has become a gathering place for tourists, adventurers and pirates from all over the world.

Angel waited quietly at the window until the middle of the night, when the noisy "Red Theater" gradually quieted down, and a thin figure left the side door and walked in the direction of the dock under the protection of two local guards.

Without the need for a reminder from William beside him, Angel could see the man's left hand clearly with his dark vision and excellent eyesight, only two fingers of his thumb and index finger, and the remaining three were only small bumps at the end of his palm.

It was the connector of "Captain Mad Ship" in Byam, nicknamed "Fingers".

"Quietly follow, I'm behind you."

Angel instructed William, who nodded, and quietly jumped directly from the second-floor window, following the three of them from a distance.

Walking through the alleys, evading the anti-tracking of "Finger" Madoni and his guards, William was tall but good at hiding and soon found himself in a low-rise house near the docks, which was close to the coast, easily accessible and far from the surrounding pristine deep forest, and was very popular with the residents who settled here.

In front of a two-story house on Beldin Street, Maduni stopped, and two of his guards opened the door to enter, turning on the light in the living room before the diminutive connector returned to his home.

Seeing that he was so cautious, William did not approach, but hid in a nearby alley, and just as he looked around for Angel, who was "behind him", the latter lifted his invisibility and his figure emerged from the sky.

After taking out the magic mirror and doing a detailed pre-divination, Angel looked at William and said:

"2 servants, 2 guards, if they are handed over to you, can they be solved?"

A large part of the reason she brought "Lucky" William into the operation this time was to test his abilities. The other party was introduced by Dominic, joined Elaine's "Redhead", and will receive a lot of salary in the future, and as an extraordinary person, there will be a proportional commission after participating in the battle, if it is just a useless rookie, it will become a "salary thief".

"Give me two minutes."

William replied in a hoarse voice.

"I mean quietly, leaving no trace afterwards." Angel reminded that she was only here to inquire about intelligence today, not to directly destroy the "Fingers" family and startle the snake.

"That's what I meant."

The bronzed-skinned strong man chuckled and replied.

Then, hunched over, he walked silently out of the alley, approached the house of "Finger" Maduni, straightened his hands, easily climbed up to the balcony on the second floor with the help of his tall figure, pried open the window with a dagger, and slipped in.

Seeing that he was so skillful, Angel nodded in satisfaction, reused "stealth", and disappeared into the street.

Moments later, she appeared in Maduni's bedroom.

With short brown hair and a thin body, it was as if the malnourished "fingers" had been washed and lay on their bed. According to Dominic's intelligence, his wife and daughter are not in Byam, and there is no relevant information, and he is the only one in the bedroom at this time, which is just convenient for Angel's operation.

She first activated a "Sleep" charm that sent the newly fallen maduni into a deeper sleep, and then took out the extraordinary property of the "Nightmare" borrowed from Klein, and pinched the dark and deep gem-like property in her hand, spreading her own spirituality and surrounding it.

This simple method of exploitation Klein had tried before, successfully invading the dream of the "Sick Admiral", and today Angel is going to make a similar attempt.

The illusory darkness gradually spread out from her eyes, enveloping Madouni lying on the bed in front of him, turning him into a hazy humanoid ball of light, and at the same time, in the next room and downstairs lounge, the figures of two servants and two guards also appeared in the darkness, and they had all fallen asleep with William's "help".

The efficiency is quite high...... Angel chuckled and spread his spirituality to Finger Maduni's body and into his deep dreams.

The surrounding bedroom scene was enveloped in darkness for a moment, and then the darkness faded and Angel returned to the bedroom.

Well?

At this moment, she almost thought that the ability of "Nightmare" had failed, but after looking around, Angel realized that this bedroom was the scene of Maduni's dream.

Maduni, who was still lying on the bed and falling into a deep sleep just now, looked fierce at this moment, stood by the window, holding a thick leather whip in his right hand, and slammed it on a thin body on the bed.

"Smack-"

With the crisp sound of the whip touching the flesh, the emaciated girl on the bed began to cry.

What kind of bad taste is this, his "sweet dream" is to bully people who are weaker than himself? ”

Angel sneered, hiding in the hazy, fuzzy corner of the wall on the edge of the dream, and looked at Finger Madouni again, and found that the three fingers of his left hand had been restored in the dream.

"He didn't want to face his injuries in his heart, so the fingers in the dream returned to normal, and he felt inferior to his figure, so he bullied the thinner women?"

Analyzing the dream of this connector, Angel continued to spread spirituality, touched the ability of "Nightmare", reversed Maduuni's dream, and turned the bedroom scene into a basement full of blood and torture instruments.

During this time, Angel, who helped Dominic solve his local troubles many times and interrogated many pirates and evil adventurers, was already familiar with the relevant processes, and she used her control of the dream to transform herself into the "Sick Lieutenant General" Tracy, whom the other party was likely to have seen and even quite feared, and appeared in the center of the basement.

Sure enough, as soon as he saw "Tracy" appear, Maduni's face turned a little paler and he struggled violently.

"Maduni, I'm disappointed in you," Pretending to be Tracy's seductive, but heroic tone, Angel walked a few steps and stood in front of the wooden frame that bound Maduni, and took a pair of blood-stained scissors in his hand, "Because of your mistake, the shipment of the 'Mad Captain' arrived in Byam, but no one received it, and the loss was huge. ”

"No, what? It's impossible to ......" The fear amplified by the dream made Maduuni's voice sharpen, "Victor is very cautious, he can't come to Baiam until he contacts me!" ”

Angel sneered, but the scissors rested on Maduuni's right hand and rested on his fingers.

"Wait, wait!"

The fear in his heart was awakened, and Madouni's whole body began to twitch.

"Yes, yes! I remember! On the afternoon of March 2nd, I, I may have indeed forgotten to pick it up...... My fingers, don't! ”

Satisfied, Angel cut off Maduuni's little finger and spared the others.

In the other party's half-panicked, half-happy roar, her figure disappeared into the nightmare created and returned to reality.

On the bed, Maduni's emaciated figure curled up, his left arm covering his intact right hand, and holding his precious fingers tightly in his arms.

Angel, who got the information she needed, didn't stay long, she packed up the "sleep" charm on the ground, lit the black curse flame, erased the surrounding traces, and then returned to the first floor, found William who was guarding the door, and left here.

Tomorrow is March 2nd, the day when "Finger" and "Crazy Captain" connect.

————

In the evening, a hidden pier not far from the "City of Generosity" Byam.

As the waves of high tide came, a pirate ship with the sign of "One-Eyed Skull" quietly approached, and if this was a pier in the city of Byam, any ship flying the pirate flag daring to approach within five nautical miles would be spotted by a lookout set up on a high place and "warmly welcomed" by the shore defense guns.

But this is a private port, a semi-public "pirate trading place" that Byam will debunk.

The city needed their smuggled goods, the pirates needed to go ashore to spend their money, and some of the bigwigs were looking forward to the "necessities" they sent, so every time they attacked the local rebels, they always tacitly bypassed these small docks, leaving the pirates with access to the island.

On the deck of the pirate ship, a middle-aged man wearing a tricorne hat and a black blindfold covering one eye, his one eye was huddled on a monocular, looking at the dock.

After discovering that someone was waving a pennant and playing the agreed flag, "Crazy Captain" Connors Victor did not let his men approach immediately, but cautiously instructed them to play the corresponding flag, confirm it, and check it repeatedly before putting away the mainsail and slowly approaching the pier by taking advantage of the waves and tide.

On the shore, I had a nightmare last night, and the "finger" Madouni, who was still apprehensive, was secretly relieved until the "One-Eyed Skull" was attached to the dock and the gangway was lowered, and the sailors escorted down the girl in a simple linen shirt and pants with their hands tied behind their backs.

He was really afraid that last night's nightmare would come true, and he would have three fingers cut off from his intact right hand by the "Sick Lieutenant General" Tracy!

As the girls who were escorted off the ship came from the dock, his mind also returned from the nightmare, and gradually became active, and his eyes were helped by the lanterns held by the sailors, observing the faces and figures of the slave girls one by one.

"Most of them have to be sent to the Red Theater, the blonde lady has fine skin and tender meat, and is well maintained, and at first glance she is not a commoner, and she has to be left to the Governor's Palace. The military also has to keep a few, especially on the navy side. Hey, there's a short one, no one should want ......"

Before the pile of slave girls who were tied together by hemp rope approached, Maduuni had already distributed them in his heart, selling them to the Red Theater, to the big men above, and to his own ......

It wasn't until his gaze left the string of prey and rested on the "crazy captain" at the end of the group that his face became serious.

"Mr. Victor," he nodded slightly, counting as a greeting, the two had already known each other in many transactions, and did not have too many politeness, "the last 'payment', a total of 1,400 pounds, is here." ”

He handed over a thick envelope, waited for the other party to count it randomly, and handed it to a tall guard with slightly long arms and a hooded cloak behind him.

This kind of "business" is every two months, and it is also the main reason for the 3,300 pound bounty of "Crazy Captain" Connors, of course, compared to the vicious pirates who roamed the world, Connors's population trade is nothing at all, so it has never been taken seriously by the military and the Storm Church, and even acquiesced in this "gray deal" because the upper echelons of Byam have enjoyed a lot of benefits.

Only the "finger" himself knows that the actual scale of Connors's human trafficking is dozens of times that of the surface!

With the help of these hand-picked maidens, Connors was able to travel around the country under the guise of a "slave trader", but secretly, more slaves were quietly transported to secret locations and then disappeared without a trace.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with me, as long as I take care of my own business, I can sit back and relax...... Madouni is well aware of the truth that "the more you know, the more unfortunate you are", even if she accidentally learns some truths during the years of cooperation, she pretends not to know, and only thinks that she is a broker who trades beautiful girls.

Just as he was thinking about a "good night" with the girl he had chosen, the hooded man behind Connors, the mad captain, seemed alert, took a step forward, and unceremoniously reached out to hold Connors by the shoulder, pulling him backwards.

"Someone snooping!"

His voice was hoarse and deep, as if disguised.
