Chapter 156: The Mysterious Queen
Annie...... Sister?
Angel was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted.
The eldest daughter of Russell the Great in front of her, Bernadette Gustav, was born 200 years ago, and in terms of age, she is older than most people who are currently alive.
But the Queen Anne's Revenge is a ghost ship of the Fourth Age, and Anne lived to be two thousand years old!
Not to mention calling her sister, it's actually very appropriate to call her grandma...... Of course, if Anne did have a human mind, I am afraid that such a title would cause great trouble.
The only possibility is that when Bernadette was a child, she met Anne, who was a girl, so she has always regarded her as her "sister".
Stabilizing his mood a little, Angel nodded and replied:
"Yes, I met Anne two months ago...... and her Queen Anne's Revenge in the spirit realm, an ancient ghost warship. ”
The two parties were clearly old acquaintances, so she didn't hide the ghost ship.
Sure enough, Bernadette's barely expressive face was filled with joy rather than surprise or confusion.
"After his fall, Anne and her ghost ship disappeared, she carried the 'Judgment' card, which could not be divined and tracked in any way, but there were no reports of her appearance from the five seas, and for reasons of their relationship, I thought that Anne had left me forever."
Her indifferent gaze softened considerably, as if she had fallen into some kind of memory.
"He" is supposed to refer to Russell the Great, who, as far as I know, had become an angel before his fall, but whose daughter apparently regarded him as a father rather than an emperor and a transcendent being on high and was therefore referred to as "he" rather than "he...... Moreover, Bernadette also sees Anne as a real person, rather than attached to the ghost ship "Queen Anne's Revenge", and their relationship may be even closer than I thought?
With a quick thought in her head, Angel quickly decided how to answer and respond next.
"Anne was constrained by the last 'order' of Russell the Great to hide herself in the depths of the ocean and not to do anything that might endanger her existence, so she hid for many years on a deserted island far from the shipping lanes......"
She roughly tells Bernadette how she discovered the Queen Anne's Vengeance, omitting the fact that she has the "Calamity" charm, saying only that Anne has made a pact with her to find a way to "end her life".
He had given such an order, and it was no wonder that Anne had suddenly left without saying goodbye...... And, how could she want to end her own life? ”
The surprise on the face of this high-ranking extraordinaire gave Angel a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
"Thankfully, Anne eventually changed her mind and decided to stay in this world for a while longer, and her main motivation was to see you after learning that you were still alive." She continued, conveying Anne's hopes to the daughter of the Emperor, "If we hadn't met in Bakeland, and I learned your name, I'm afraid she would have ended her life by circumventing Russell the Great's orders. ”
"After that, she seems to be a little more active, and many ships have found traces of ghost ships in the east of the Sunia Sea in the past two months, I think it is likely to be the 'Queen Anne's Revenge', and last night, the 'Death' that passed by the 'Future' suffered a lot of damage, I am afraid she also caused it."
Bernadette raised her eyebrows and immediately asked rhetorically:
"That ghost ship last night, is that Annie?"
This question made Angel a little curious:
"You must have seen it, and even boarded the 'Queen Anne's Revenge' many times, and didn't recognize her immediately?"
At the same time, she also confirmed that the high-level extraordinary person in front of her had come to this sea area on the "Future".
And the "star general" Gadelia, who concealed this and did not inform Angel, has a very suspicious relationship with Bernadette......
"No, the appearance of the Queen Anne's Revenge as I remember it was azure, like the color of the sea, and she said it would be easy to hide herself."
Bernadette shook her head and replied.
I don't think it's like the color of the sea, it's like your eyes, no, it's the color of Russell the Great's eyes!
And it wasn't until she left the Emperor and returned to the deep sea that Anne turned herself back into the "Black Death" of the Quaternary Age, no wonder Bernadette who was hiding on the "Future" did not recognize her when she appeared yesterday, maybe when the image of the girl Anne appeared on the deck, Bernadette was alerting the strange ship that suddenly appeared, and even worried that it was related to the "Immortal King............ Angel muttered inwardly.
All kinds of mistakes made the two meet the closest in a hundred years, just passing by, and failed to recognize each other.
Fortunately, there is still me...... Angel sighed lightly and stretched out her right hand, looking at the location where the sword and shield balance mark was hidden from her skin.
"Should my connection with her make her sense my call, do you need me to summon her?"
- In this way, we have one more hole card to explore this uncharted sea: a Sequence 2 ghost ship.
"No, not here."
Bernadette shook her head again, causing her chestnut hair to shake like a wave.
"This sea is filled with crazy whispers from the 'True Creator', which are almost inaudible to the Extraordinary of the Middle Sequence, but when you reach the High Sequence, the Whispers will become very dangerous, I have the ability to defend against it, but Anne may not have...... I'll go back to her when I'm out of this remnant. ”
"God War...... Relic? ”
Angel felt that she heard something terrible, and subconsciously repeated.
"The Old Gods have fallen here, the Creator has reclaimed His authority, and this sea has become a place of death for many out-of-control divine powers after the Divine War, and I think you've seen some of them."
Bernadette patiently explained that this was completely different from the attitude she had just left in a hurry, perhaps because of the "reward" given to Angel after learning Anne's information.
So, the terrifying power of the "Golden Chariot" encountered in the morning, and the noon that seems to never end, come from an ancient god who represents the "sun"? And those transcendent beings in Gardelia's mouth, which are powerful but do not condense their characteristics after death, are really the products of "utopian" authority?
Combined with this information, Angel quickly confirmed the ownership of several "divine powers", and the danger of suddenly entering the night and disappearing without sleeping also made her think of Trier's catacombs, the abandoned place where the "Silver City" is located, and the ...... The authority of the goddess!
The Scarlet Lord, the Mother of Secrets!
A part of the goddess's name flashed through her mind.
It turns out that every part of the name of the gods represents supreme authority.
Therefore, the "sun" is the "eternal sun, the inextinguishable light", and the "fantasy" is likely to belong to the legendary "utopian dragon......
Seeing Angel deep in thought, Bernadette gently stretched out her hand, lifted the "Russell Notes 5" on the ground, stuffed it back into the bookshelf, glanced at the floor-to-ceiling window not far away, and said:
"The dream is almost over, return to the Future, and don't reveal my existence to Gadelia. Also, don't try to explore this dream, you have the blessing of 'night' and being too active in the dream is more dangerous. ”
Hearing so many secrets and knowing that this is the "God War Ruins", Angel has long lost the idea of exploring, but the other party's request made her a little puzzled.
I thought she was on the "Future" under the arrangement of the "Star General" Gardelia, but it seems that she actually secretly got on the ship? And she deliberately said this because she didn't want to see each other...... She is the "mysterious queen" with whom Gardelia once followed and parted ways for some reason?
The mysterious queen who was offered a £650,000 bounty?
As soon as he figured this out, Angel saw a blinding white light appear in front of his eyes, which was completely different from the twilight sunset here, the midday sun.
She squinted her eyes and looked at the light, and found herself back in the cabin of the Future, the sun replacing the night outside the porthole, and the faint sound of waves crashing against the hull.
That strange dream is over.
……
After sitting on the edge of the bed and digesting the knowledge she had just learned from the "mysterious queen" Bernadette, Angel pushed open the door and entered the hallway.
She sneaked a peek at the captain's quarters and saw that the door was closed, then she came to the other side of the hallway and knocked on Crane's door.
It took a few minutes of waiting for the door to open and Klein poking his head out.
"I'm sorry, I woke up and fell asleep again and got some important information."
He whispered, guiding Angel into the room.
It was the same single suite, and Crane didn't have much luggage, so the room remained as if it had just been occupied, except for a brass whistle on the table and a paper crane that was about to break.
Will Ensette...... Angel immediately understood why the other party fell asleep again.
"The dream I entered before is very dangerous, if I enter it again......"
"Don't try to explore, I know that." As soon as Klein spoke, Angel picked up, "I got a similar warning. ”
"Who is it?" Crane raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.
He wasted a precious opportunity to contact before he got a hint from the "Serpent of Fate", and the paper would be broken if it was used three or four times at most!
"The one Anne was looking for."
Worried about possible surveillance, Angel replied ominously, but the two shared almost everything they knew, and the other should be able to easily guess who it was.
Sure enough, after a moment of confusion, Klein showed a clear look and stopped talking.
After packing up the items on the table, the two of them went to the restaurant of the "Future", the pirates who had fallen asleep everywhere just now had returned to their posts, and the chef reheated the already cold lunch and plated it, waiting to be served, and there were many gobbling people sitting in the restaurant.
Among them was the unusually enthusiastic Frank Lee, who beckoned Angel and Klein to sit at his table, and even handed him a glass of red wine from "Red Wine Fish", which Klein refused with a serious face, while Angel took it with some interest and took a sip.
Well, a little sweeter than normal red wine......
"It tastes good!"
She praised from the bottom of her heart.
Frank became even more excited and began to babble about his "new inventions", such as bacteria that make bulls produce milk, and mushrooms that grow on fish...... Angel put down her glass with some trepidation.
"When my germ research is successful, I hope to infect the bulls of the entire ship at once through your 'mass dispersal' method!"
Frank's eyes lit up as he looked at Angel.
She was the first pirate on the ship to see her that way, not because of her extraordinary abilities.
Just as this one-sided "happy conversation" reached its climax, the voice of the "Star General" amplified by some kind of spell sounded in the restaurant:
"People who have finished lunch are immediately in their places, and there is an island one nautical mile ahead, where we wait for the storm to pass."
Storm?
Angel looked out the window suspiciously, the invisible but omnipresent sun above her head was radiating a scorching glow, and not even a dark cloud could be seen.
The other pirates complied with the captain's orders without the slightest discount, and they quickly stuffed toast and bacon into their mouths, finished their lunch, and then returned to the deck and controlled the sailboat to move forward quickly.
After all, after entering this divine war relic, the orders of the "Star General" have not been wrong.
"Don't challenge a storm with signs."
In the nearly emptied dining room, Klein whispered.
This is also the admonition of the "snake of fate"?
Angel looked out the window again, and suddenly found that there was a trace of darkness in the originally cloudless sky.
