Chapter 149: Future

Like "Rumors", this is the flagship of the third pirate general that Klein has boarded, and of course, the same is true of Angel, who is hidden behind the rumors, as if someone has deliberately hidden his identity.

Compared to the unremarkable "Black Death" and the "Golden Dream" with small cannons, this "Future" is more like a classical sailing ship of the old era, but the hull is surprisingly long, but it is not equipped with the corresponding number of masts and steering sails, and the deck is engraved with mysterious symbols, as if the whole ship is a huge charm.

This reminded Angel of the golden cannon of the "Iceberg Lieutenant General", and it was clear that the "Future" also operated using some mysterious ritual magic, not an ordinary ship.

Of course, compared to the "Queen Anne's Revenge", which can enter the spirit world, this ship is at least at a level that ordinary people can understand...... She withdrew her scrutinizing gaze, looked at Gardelia standing at the bow of the boat, and nodded slightly:

"Thank you for coming to pick us up, Ms. Admiral."

She didn't call the other party a "hermit", because there were not many people present.

In addition to the three members of the Tarot Society, there were also many sailors standing on the deck, and one after another their eyes focused on Angel, and the protruding parts of her body outlined by her slim clothes and pants stayed for a long time on her undisguised face, and the charm of the "painful" witch could make these sailors who had been adrift at sea all day stunned even if they were not deliberately released.

Taking a step forward, Crane, who blocked most of his vision, took off his top hat and saluted politely:

"Good evening, ma'am."

He could feel a lot of eyes shift from Angel's to himself, and soon the sailors recognized the "famous" Gelman, and whispered exclamations and discussions reached his ears.

Words such as "the ...... of the sick lieutenant general", "the night ...... of the 'Golden Dream'", and "keep an eye on his ......" made Klein almost unable to hold back his disguised "adventurer" image.

I'm afraid that until I get a real wanted warrant and a high bounty, this kind of peachy rumor will always be with me...... He muttered helplessly.

In front of the two of them, the black-haired shawl with deep purple eyes of the "Star General" Gadelia was also looking at the two members of the Tarot Society, the new passengers of the "Future".

The "Queen", Angelica Thatch, has a 23,000 pound bounty, which is said to have killed the bishop of the Storm Church, and is therefore on the wanted warrant, and then the bounty is gradually increased for the destruction of the "Sick Admiral" of the City Breaker and the Black Death, and it is likely that it is the Extraordinary of Sequence 5...... As she recalled the information she had gathered, her eyes deepened, and the tall and beautiful woman in front of her gradually turned into a white etheric body, and a dark darkness with no end in sight.

Above the etheric body, a deep red buried in her chest, the dark yellow of her left wrist, the darkness of her right wrist, the bright yellow of her waist and the fiery red between her fingers lit up one by one, and then there were bright points of light all over her body, like stars in the sky.

Five magical items, countless charms, ammo...... The dazzling light made Gadelia look away and look at the "world" Gelman Sparrow, who was soon dazzled by the various brilliance on the other party's body, and squinted her eyes before she eased up.

Two "Pirate General" class extraordinaires...... Without the Future and the other sailors, I wouldn't have had enough odds against any of them.

Gardelia quickly assessed the strength of the two, the depth in her eyes faded, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Good evening, Miss Thatch, Mr. Sparrow."

She also did not mention the code name of the Tarot Society, but referred to them as the two of them.

And even if these identities are, most of them are fake...... She thought, raised her right hand, and gently circled it above her head.

Receiving orders, the Future quickly set sail, making an arc in the shallow waters near the port of Naas and heading east.

The lighthouse light tracked the ship until it disappeared into the sea fog, and the sailors and pirates on the docks breathed a sigh of relief, discussing the destination of the Future and the identities of the two men who had gracefully landed on deck.

The white feathers on the top of the woman's head were reminiscent of Angelica Thatch, who was called "The Shipbreaker" by pirates on a wanted notice, but no one could be sure because she couldn't see her face clearly.

But another man, the crowd quickly agreed:

Adventurer Gelman Sparrow is about to start scourging the last female pirate general!

————

As the Future picked up speed and a damp, cold wind blew on the deck, Angel and Klein followed Gadelia out of the bow and toward the inner cabin.

In the darkness of the night, ships large and small gradually approached the flagship, faintly guarding it in the middle, but maintaining a certain distance.

Stepping onto the middle deck, Angel found that there weren't many sailors here, at least less than the Golden Dream she had been to, and of course, it was possible that the sailors on the Future were well-trained and mostly stayed at their posts, but they denied it by looking at the visitors with impunity.

As if seeing her doubts, the "Star General" explained:

"This is the only ship of the Future that is heading to the east of the Sunia Sea, and most of the sailors here will stay on other ships, leaving only the necessary personnel."

In order to spread the risk and avoid being wiped out by accident, of course, we were going to find the mermaids, not to fight a naval battle with the rest of the fleet...... Angel nodded, understanding why the other ships weren't close together, and followed them to the entrance to the cabin.

Well, out of the cabin came a sturdy man, dressed in a rare overalls on board, with shirt cuffs pulled up to the elbows, and his exposed skin covered in hair.

Behind the three of them, a shadow twisted and bulged from the deck, and a figure appeared inside, his nose was high, but his face was full of exhaustion, as if he had contracted some serious illness.

Angel was wary of this battle, and she raised her eyebrows and looked at Gardelia beside her, who smiled and said:

"First mate of Future, Frank Lee," she said, pointing to her bib and then looking at the man who appeared in the shadows behind her, "Second mate, Heath Doyle." ”

"Toxin Expert" Frank Lee, £7,000; Heath Doyle, £7,600...... Angel quickly found the wanted warrants corresponding to the two of them in his mind, and based on their bounties, he deduced that both of them were most likely Sequence 6 extraordinary, and then took the initiative to smile and say hello:

"Good evening, gentlemen."

After a brief introduction by Gardelia, she learned that Frank Lee was originally a believer in Mother Earth God, but because of his focus on advanced "hybrid technology", he caused a lot of dangerous accidents, and was almost sent to the court by the church, and finally broke away from the church and joined the "Star Pirates".

And the "Bloodless" is an unlucky and lucky "Bishop of the Rose".

The unfortunate reason is that he was originally an ordinary person, but he was accidentally sprinkled on his body by the configured "Bishop of the Rose" potion, and was infected and infiltrated by the potion, and fortunately because he successfully survived the effect of the potion and was directly promoted to Sequence 6, becoming the only normal person who did not go through the "listener" stage and did not go crazy because of the whispers of the "true creator".

"This situation is less likely than when I successfully crossed bulls, cows and wheat in the first experiment, so that they can grow directly from the ground!"

Frank chimed in.

What, you said hybridization, it turned out to be this kind of fantasy?

Angel was a little dumbfounded, she looked at Gadelia, and found that the other party was also helpless, obviously the various "experiments" of her first mate had passed the psychological denial, anger and other attitudes, and entered the final stage of "acceptance".

As Heath the Bloodless re-infiltrated into the shadows, Gardelia continued to lead the two into the cabin, to the deck's superstructure, which housed the captain's quarters, a small dining room for captains and senior staff, and several empty guest rooms.

"Mr. Sparrow, your room is on the left side, Frank will take you there, the small dining room is open all day, there is always hot food, you can go and eat at any time, or have Frank deliver it to your room."

She pointed to the side of the hallway, then looked at Angel:

"Miss Thatch, your room is across from my captain's quarters, and my boatswain Nina lives next door to you, so you can come to her if you need anything."

Wait a minute...... Angel subconsciously wanted to refuse, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Klein nodding silently, and did not speak.

A moment later, a woman who was more than half a head tall, with blonde hair tied into a ponytail, and fair skin, who seemed to have the blood of Fursack, leaned in at Gardelia's call.

"Captain."

She greeted the "Star General" before looking at Angel.

"Hello, Miss Angelica Thatch," she said with a perfunctory smile on her face, nodding slightly, "I'll take you to your room." ”

Only then did Angel remember the boatswain's nickname, "The Killer of the Sea".

Being a boatswain on the flagship of a pirate general, she may not be as harmless as she seems...... Angel thought as she caught up with Nina and walked to the other side of the hallway.

"By the way, your room, well, won't have any snooping arrangements."

Behind the two of them, Gadelia added, as if remembering something.

It always felt like she had something crooked...... Well, it's not like you're trying to be crooked...... Angel was awakened by this command, and various thoughts flashed through her mind, and she followed the tall boatswain to the single room, which was not very spacious, but neatly kept.

She suddenly felt a trace of warmth in the palm of her right hand, as if it was attached to delicate and warm skin, and when she saw that Nina took out the key and was silently opening the door, she pretended to hold her wide-brimmed hat steadily, stretched out her right hand, palm inward, and focused her eyes on it.

The mark left when using "Anne's Blood" on Olavi Island emerged from her skin, the sword and shield overlapping, and the regular symbol in the center of the scales flickered slightly, as if someone was looking at her and looking around.

After a few moments, the warmth faded, and the mark reappeared beneath the skin.

Annie?

Angel was a little stunned, she stroked her fingers over the location of the marker, but there was no other movement, as if the flickering was just an illusion.

But she knew that Anne, who had signed a contract with her and reached a "mutual aid relationship", had indeed connected with her through the mark at that moment.

Could it be that the "Ghost Empire", which frequently appears in the Sunia Sea and attracts the Storm Church, the military, and pirates, is actually the "Queen Anne's Revenge"?

She couldn't help but look at the porthole outside the suite, as if there was a huge ghost ship in the dark sea outside the window.
