Chapter 58: Elaine's Promotion

On Friday evening, the stormy "Blue Avengers" finally docked in the private harbor secretly controlled by the rebels next to Byam, the "City of Generosity".

Compared to ordinary ships, the sailors of this ghost ship are literally out to sea, except for cleaning their own rooms and decks every day, and leaving the night watchmen at night, they do not need to do anything other than fighting, either gather to play cards, or lie down by the porthole and look out at the endless sea, looking forward to the shore every day.

So as soon as they returned to the port, and with the approval of Captain Alger Wilson, the sailors fled away from the ghost ship that did not need to be controlled, rested for a while, and rushed to the "Red Theater" and other places of recreation, ready for a good weekend vacation.

Of course, this is also in line with the plan of Alger the "Hanged Man", in general, his sailors will spend the night in the "Red Theater", and then spend the whole day in the surrounding taverns, casinos, at least tomorrow night, before anyone notices that his captain is missing.

And even if he was discovered, Alger could say that he went to other smaller, but better-served brothels, especially when the "Red Theater" has run out of "new products" lately, which is more convincing.

With this in mind, he returned to the city of Baiam with everyone, broke away from the team, and came to the "Wave Church" of the Storm Church in Baiam to briefly report the debriefing, and then returned to his property, sorted out the equipment on his body, added some charms, and took a break to restore his spirituality.

It wasn't until the midnight bell sounded outside the window that he quietly came out into the street and left the city with the help of the shadow of the street.

On the outskirts of the city, on a hillside that had collapsed in many places and trees and vegetation were almost completely destroyed, Alger met Gelman Sparrow, who had been missing from the Rorsted Islands for a whole month.

The latter was still wearing the black double-breasted gown that had been noted on the wanted notice, with a trench coat-like shape that extended to the calves, a half-height silk top hat on his head, and gold-rimmed glasses that reflected a faint glow in the moonlight.

But that answer meant something else to Alger.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

This book, which is popular in Beckland, has been sold to Byam!

"I'll come over to see how your commission is doing, and besides, there's a task for you."

But my cooperation with them is sincere, and Mr. Fool testifies, this kind of thing does not scare me...... He was still on guard in his heart, squeezed out a smile, and took a few steps forward:

"The traces of this battlefield may not be erased for many years."

Hearing his words, Klein, who was in a daze, subconsciously glanced at the cliff behind him that was destroyed by the "Queen Anne's Revenge" with a round of shelling, as well as the death area caused by the breath leaked by "Siea", smiled faintly, and replied:

"My part of the contribution is insignificant."

He was not modest, but the destruction of that battle was basically caused by a few demigods and angels, and his only contribution was to bring down the "Blood General" Seigor, a humble spectator who only had Sequence 5 like him.

"It's you."

"She made a trip to a nearby port, and she was there quickly."

He specially met here on the battlefield after the Great War with the "Rose School" to remind me that he is enough to fight against the demigods, and can he summon angel-level helpers...... Alger pondered, and quickly came to the conclusion that this was a dismount.

I thought you'd been together all alongβ€”he omitted.

Angel's heart jumped, and she quickly looked away, looked at Elaine, who was also a little flustered, and said:

She said with a sigh of relief, her hand quietly closing the one she was looking at behind her, but the cover was still caught by the sharp-eyed Angel.

He did participate in that battle, and even contributed, while His Excellency "Aquaman" did not even leave much trace of this cliff, and I suspect that he was only trying to get involved in the fight between the two forces......

Behind him, the cliff was a hundred meters less than Alger had seen at the beginning of the year, and the vegetation closer to it seemed to have been swept by the hand of death, the weeds were dry and rotten, the shrubs were only roots, and the leaves of the few trees that stood out from the crowd had all fallen off, and the surface was as dry as a dying patient.

Of course, there was another Sequence 5 present, but her combat power was much stronger than mine, and she was even promoted to demigod because of this...... Crane pressed his top hat and didn't continue to speak.

Alger did not dare to ask any more about what had happened that day, and instead said:

"I'm ready to go to that island at any time, what about Miss Queen? Didn't she come? ”

Crane replied calmly, staring at the dense forest not far below the cliff and saying no more.

"The Great Adventurer Gelman Series: Lieutenant General of Disease".

When Angel emerged from the decorative mirror of the "Redhead's" captain's room, Elaine was half-leaning on the table, boredly flipping through a book.

Seeing the lazy appearance of the "arsonist" who had taken off the "ring of madness" and restored his red hair and beautiful and heroic face, Angel almost laughed, she coughed lightly, making the other party jump up like a rabbit, looking over here, recognizing her "boss", and her tight shoulders relaxed.

Seeing that she was down to business, Elaine quickly put away her embarrassed expression, sat back on the chair next to the desk, took out a document from the drawer, and handed it to Angel.

The latter opened and found that it was a report on the recent movements of the "Witch Sect" at sea, which was quite formal, with summaries, details, inferences and even map markings.

"It's not like you wrote it."

She said casually as she flipped through it.

"My boatswain, William the 'Machine' summed it up for me, and he likes to write things in his spare time, and he deserves to share the captain's worries."

Elaine said, pointing to the location of the ship's living quarters.

Of course, most of the people there are gone, and the ships dock, and the sailors rarely stay on board, preferring to spend some money in comfortable hotels or go to the city to squander their earnings.

This is also the reason why Elaine is too lazy to use the Ring of Madness to hide her appearance.

After reading the report, Angel asked Elaine a few more questions, confirming that the "Witch Cult" had not been active in the vicinity of the Rorsted Islands recently, and even middlemen like "Finger" Maduni had disappeared, let alone transporting slaves by ship.

"After a round of investigation by the Storm Church and the local garrison, it is believed that the Redhead was only hired to pick up Angelica and Gelman outside of Byam, and was not directly involved in the fighting, so she was not implicated...... The testimony of the various factions lurking among the sailors was one of the reasons why I got out of trouble so quickly......

"Lieutenant Admiral Tracy and her fleet have made their way through the Furious Sea back to the depths of the Misty Sea, where colonies that do not belong to any major powers, have no navy, only pirates, and are therefore difficult to find.

"Human trafficking seems to have stopped completely, and even the 'Red Theater' has not bought new girls for a while, and business has deteriorated a lot."

Elaine paused at the mention of Tracy's name, but quickly returned to normal, reporting to Angel about the recent events at sea.

It seems that Tracy has no protection from her mother Katarina, and she can't find Elaine's whereabouts, so she doesn't dare to stay in the Rorsted Islands anymore, she has lost her flagship and a large number of sailors, and several extraordinary people's subordinates, and her strength should fall to the bottom of the Seven Great Pirate Generals, and if she continues to wander here, she may be targeted by other pirates one day and become a bounty......

Angel speculated, only then did he remember that there were only six "Seven Pirate Generals" left, and the new leader who inherited the "Blood Generals" fleet was difficult to convince the public, and soon split into several waves of forces, and it should not be possible to unify in the short term.

On the contrary, the "Four Kings" have a faint tendency to become the "Five Kings", and the extra one is naturally the "Angelica Thatch" with a bounty of 100,000 pounds on his head, a mysterious ghost ship, and a demigod in strength.

This title has not been officially recognized, and even if it is wanted, it only has her name, not a nickname.

But many pirates have already called her the "Golden Queen", of course, because of the recognizable long pale blonde hair, and the battle outside Byam, the two salvos of the "Queen Anne's Revenge", the golden light can be seen from far away from the other end of the city.

"So, you continue to keep an eye on Tracy's movements, and once she leaves the Sea of Mists and returns here, inform me by messenger......" Angel instructed, seeing Elaine nod, she continued, "What about your potion materials?" Did the 'human lion brain' that the 'conspirators' need? ”

"Only the part of the materials for hunting black spiders is left, and I have everything else."

Elaine replied quickly.

When it comes to promotion, she doesn't have a hint of excitement in her eyes.

"Considering that your investigation into the 'Witch Sect' is not very detailed, I would have liked to sell the compound eyes and venom glands of hunting black spiders to you at a reduced price, instead of providing them for free, but ......"

Seeing Elaine's expression change rapidly, Angel chuckled and continued:

"You'll be able to get promoted quickly, and it will help you with future tasks, so I'll treat them as rewards."

With that, she took out a wooden box that had been kept in the mirror space and handed it to Elaine, who quickly opened it to find that it was sealed with the spider compound eyes and poison sacs she needed.

That's worth Β£1,500 or more...... Elaine carefully put away the materials, looked at Angel with gratitude and puzzled eyes, and asked softly:

"What's next?"

She didn't think that the high-ranking witch was as in love with her as Tracy was, so she could offer anything for free......

"First of all, you hurry up and be promoted to 'Conspirator', although Sequence 7 can avoid the attacks of most ordinary pirates at sea, and the pirate generals and their subordinates generally don't look down on your business, but at least until Sequence 6, you will have the strength to compete with the major forces......"

Angel laid out a few words, and then mentioned the most important things:

"Secondly, there may be a smuggling business next month, similar to what you did with the colonial government of Baiam, a batch of arms, sold to a designated target."

Angel told Elaine about the task given to her by the retired officer Xander, and her face changed several times when she heard it.

"It's okay to disguise yourself as Indis, they often fan the flames at sea anyway, and I don't lack them...... However, the situation in the Gargas Islands is currently more tense than that of Baiam, and most of the pirates have reached the Sunia Sea, near Gargas, in order to avoid Rune's ironclad ships, and the local colonial government has been overwhelmed by the continuous demonstrations of the locals. ”

It seems that although Fersak has mastered the island of Sunia, Gargas is still too far away from the mainland and has too poor control, causing Rune to set his sights there and want to attack the weakness of Fersak's empire......

Hearing Elaine's description of the Gargarz Islands, Angel became more and more convinced of the deep meaning behind Sundel's letting her smuggle armaments.

"You don't have to worry about the situation, just sell the arms over there, the Fusak Empire won't buy it, then whoever buys it is enough to give them a headache."

Seeing Elaine nodding in agreement, Angel asked her about her recent overseas income and got a very surprising answer.

I didn't expect her to earn back my investment in just a few months, so wouldn't it be pure income for the next half a year...... Sure enough, they still wander in the gray area of the law to make money, and those cargo ships may not be able to earn the income of "redheads" for three months a year......

Angel sighed and was about to leave, Elaine hesitated and asked:

"Miss Angelica, there are some rumors among the pirates that the pirate convention that was originally held in October every year may be held earlier, and I expect Tracy to attend as well, are you planning to go?"
