Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 97
October 9th, Sunday.

After a week-long voyage, the Golden Dream finally arrived at Tuscat Island this morning.

Ember stood on the side, looking out the window at the horizon.

There are rippling blue waves, which spread inch by inch along the outline of Tuscat Island, undulating in the wind.

Soon.

The ship docked at the private port of Tuscatel and dropped the embers.

And Edwina stood quietly on the side, watching the embers go away.

"captain."

The first mate, Bruce, leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Shall we leave now?"

"set sail."

Edwina nodded slightly.

The first officer was also unambiguous when he heard the words, and immediately ordered the sailors to set sail and leave the private port.

They are going to continue north.

"What about the Pirate Conference? Don't you want to participate?"

The second officer Orpheus hesitated.

"Next time."

Edwina shook her head, obviously not wanting to get involved.

"captain."

Jodsen, with a flowery bow tie, leaned forward and whispered, "After all, we didn't kill the person, and the traces have been cleaned up, so there's no need for us to be so afraid, right?"

He could understand why Edwina did this.

After all, he just killed the demigod of the Loen Kingdom, so what are you waiting for if you don't run away?
But Orvers just didn't think it was necessary.

For one thing, since that Qonas chose to act alone, it meant that no one knew his destination, let alone how long his action would take.

And here is the sea, it would take two months just to run back and forth.

Even if the Kingdom of Loen wanted to find out that something was wrong, it would have to wait for them to find out that Qonas was missing first.

That's at least a month away.

And if they really had to wait a month, they would still be able to find out the ass.

What's more, they also took precautions against divination.

Even the demigods of the Loen Kingdom couldn't find the head of the Golden Dream.

Because they have no spirit, no medium, and no way to do divination!
"madness."

Orpheus sneered, "Don't forget, besides us, there is Vice Admiral Deep Sea. If he informs the Loen Kingdom, do you think we can escape the pursuit of the Loen Kingdom's navy?"

"He will inform?"

Jodsen asked back, "Using what Emperor Roselle said, we are grasshoppers on a rope!"

"Emperor Roselle also said that husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest, and they will fly separately when disaster strikes."

Orpheus retorted, which immediately drew Jodson's glare.

"It's not that simple."

Edwina said softly, "We can't guarantee that there will be no secrets in the deep sea, nor can we ensure that all the crew will remain loyal. Regardless of whether this matter will be leaked in advance, we can only go to Sonia Island for safety. Well, wish him luck."

Edwina sighed softly in her heart.

She also persuaded Ember to go to Sonia Island with herself to avoid the limelight.

But it was obvious that Ember didn't care about these at all, so he rejected Edwina's proposal.

That being the case.

Then Edwina can only wish him good luck.

Orpheus and Jodson have different expressions.

They are well aware that there are spies from other forces among the crew.

But this can be regarded as the consensus at sea.

After all, as long as they are at sea, which pirate's ship doesn't have one or two spies?
It would be bad luck for a spy to be caught.

If you can't catch it, you can only admit that you are unlucky.

Taking a step back, there is a deep sea vice general outside.

As long as any news is leaked, they will all suffer disaster!

"It's a good thing he's coming to Tuscat Island."

The first mate, Bruce, also came back at this time, and joked, "If he wants to go to Bayam, that's the real danger."

Tuscat Island is the easternmost point of the Rorsted Islands, as well as the easternmost point of the Sonia Sea and the easternmost point of the Loen Kingdom's sea colonies.

In other words, going further east is completely out of the control of the Loen Kingdom.

And just north of Tuscatel Island is the Gargas Islands, which is a colony of the Feysac Empire, and it is only about a three-day flight from Tuscatel Island.

In other words.

As long as they can reach the Gargas Islands smoothly and enter the territory of the Feysac Empire.

Then nothing happens.

"captain!"

The sailor on the observation deck was looking into the distance with a telescope, and suddenly exclaimed, "Ahead, look at the ship in front of us!"

Edwina almost subconsciously took out the binoculars to look, and instantly recognized the owner of the ship——

That is the flagship of Vice Admiral Deep Sea!

"It's Vice Admiral of the Deep Sea."

Edwina put down the binoculars, her expression was a little subtle, "He seems to be planning to go to the Gargas Islands."

……

"pat~"

Ember stood in the private port of Tuscatel Island, watching the Golden Dream go away.

But even until the Golden Dream disappeared at the end of his field of vision, he never took a step away.

Until, a young man who also stayed at the port for a long time stepped forward.

As soon as he approached, Ember had a panoramic view of his appearance.

The facial features are profound, the outline is rough, and the bronze skin, just standing there can give people a strong sense of oppression.

The first impression he gives is that he is a irascible old man who often messes around with the society.

And the most eye-catching thing is his slightly curly blue long hair.

"Sir, I would like to spare you a few minutes, but I would like to introduce you to our Heavenly Father and Savior."

Alger stepped forward, speaking like a fanatical believer.

But in fact, his tone seemed a little blunt.

Because he is not so fanatical about his beliefs.

It's just routinely calling out the secret signal that the two of them had agreed upon so that they can get on the street.

"If your savior is a goddess, I think I'd be happy to hear your introduction."

Ember smiled and reached out to Alger, "Ash Black."

"Alger Wilson."

Alger also reached out his hand and held it with Ember.

At the same time, he was also looking at the man in front of him.

He looked very young, less than 20 years old.

Wearing a black double-breasted coat and a half-height silk top hat, he is dressed like a typical Loen gentleman.

But his angular, young and handsome face made him look more like a rich second generation who came to travel.

"Is that your ship?"

Ember pointed to a three-masted sailing ship that was obviously behind the times docked on the pier, and asked a little strangely.

"Yes."

Alger nodded slightly, and said slowly, "Although it looks a little backward, it is actually a ghost ship, and its performance is more than [-]% of the ships at sea!"

Ember nodded thoughtfully.

But I didn't find out until I got on the boat, although the appearance looked a little old.

But the interior is very clean and tidy, and the most rare thing is that there is almost no peculiar smell in the cabin.

It was only after walking around the whole ship that Ember discovered a problem.

There was no one on board except the two of them!
"I gave them a week off."

Alger saw Ember's doubts, and took the initiative to explain, "The ghost ship itself does not need too many people to control, so my crew is only a dozen or so. This time, after all, it will be docked at Tuscat Island for nearly a week. Avoid suspicion that I'm giving them a break."

"That's it."

Ember nodded to show her understanding, but quickly asked, "When are we going to leave?"

"..."

Alger was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"It will take at least half a month to depart from Tuscat Island to Pritz Harbor."

Alger paused for a moment, and then said, "However, I may take a detour to a place halfway, which may increase the time required for the voyage by about three days."

"no problem."

Ember nodded slightly.

The boat belonged to Alger, and he could go any way he wanted.

For Ember, as long as he can return to Backlund, he doesn't care where he goes.

This is his ship, and he can go wherever he wants, as long as he can ensure that he is sent to Backlund in the end.

Seeing that Ember didn't resist, Alger breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Besides, I hope you can do me a favor. As for the report..."

"Okay, what do I need to do?"

Ember nodded without hesitation and asked.

"..."

Alger's mouth was open, he swallowed what he was going to say, and said with a wry smile, "Don't you listen to what the reward is first?"

"Think of it as paying your boat fare."

Ember shook her head and said calmly, "But you have to tell me what to do first, as long as it's not too troublesome."

Anyway, at sea, two days more or less doesn't really make much difference to him.

"of course."

Alger nodded and explained, "This matter shouldn't be any trouble to you, and the danger we will encounter should not exceed the level of Sequence 5."

"Sequence 5, that really isn't too much trouble."

Ember nodded slightly, and asked, "Then let's set off as soon as possible, where are your sailors? When will they come back?"

"unnecessary."

Alger smiled and said, "This is a ghost ship, no sailors are needed. I gave them half a month's leave, as long as they come back before then. As for departure, you can do it anytime!"

Since Ember wants to leave as soon as possible, Alger will naturally not object.

soon.

The sails of the Youlan Avenger moved without wind, and unfolded automatically without human control.

Under Ember's slightly surprised eyes, the Youlan Avenger quietly left the port and headed for the distant ocean.

"Is such that."

When the ship was on the way, Argel sorted out his language and explained, "Ash, you should also know that many extraordinary creatures are on the verge of extinction, and the extraordinary creatures in the northern continent are almost extinct. Only those that are located on the sea and rarely arrived There are still traces of these extraordinary creatures on the pristine islands."

"And I happen to have the coordinates of a primitive island in my hand, and there is a supernatural creature I need on it. But because there are certain dangers on the island, I hope to hire you to explore together."

After a pause, Alger said solemnly, "And the coordinates of this primitive island are my reward."

Alger didn't really want to exchange the coordinates of the original island for Ember's shot.

But unfortunately, he has no other rewards that can be taken.

Although Ember offered to use 'boat ticket' to pay for the reward, which made Alger very tempted, but he gave up this tempting idea after thinking about it for a while.

Because although this can gain temporary benefits, it is a bad thing in the long run.

Ember doesn't need to be paid, but he can't refuse to pay.

"Primitive island?"

Ember raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked in surprise, "There are many extraordinary creatures on it?"

"Yes."

Alger nodded, and said without hesitation, "There are a lot of extraordinary creatures on that primitive island, and many of them are extinct creatures that only exist in mythology. If you lack certain main materials in the future, you may also Can be found on this primordial island."

"of course."

Alger added, "I have another requirement, that is, not to disclose the coordinates of this island to others at will."

"Of course, if you need to explore this island in the future and can't find a suitable person to take you out to sea, you can also find me. As long as I have time, I will be happy to drive you to this island for exploration."

"A very reasonable request."

Ember nodded slightly, Alger's request was not too much, he had no reason to refuse.

Seeing that Ember did not raise any objections, Alger breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time reminded, "That primitive island is on the edge of Rorsted Sea, and it only takes about a day and a half of sailing from here. So I suggest you take a rest in advance and do Well prepared."

"I see."

Ember pondered for a moment, then asked, "One more thing, last week's party was canceled, do you know the reason?"

Alger was startled, and hesitated for a while before saying, "Last Wednesday, that is, September 9th, Qilingus tried to assassinate Duke Negan and was killed by Mr. Mister asked for leave and was absent from the party, but I didn't expect Mister Fool to cancel the party directly because of this."

The two looked at each other, and they both saw the strangeness in each other's eyes.

"If I'm the only one absent, Mister Fool shouldn't cancel the party."

Alger thought for a while and analyzed, "The reason why Qilingus failed in the assassination is because Miss Justice discovered his identity. So Miss Justice may have been affected by this incident, so she is also the same as me. I asked for leave and missed the party, which caused Mister Fool to cancel the party."

"The words of Miss Justice."

Ember thought for a while, and pondered, "She should have been closely guarded by her father because of this matter, but this is a kind of restraint for her, so she can't spare time to attend the party."

"But Qilingus died in Backlund, why would you be affected?"

As Ember said, she suddenly came to her senses and said apologetically, "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked, so you don't need to answer."

"No, it's nothing to keep secret."

Alger shook his head, and said frankly, "In fact, Qilingos and I have known each other for a long time. We also discovered the primitive island we are going to now."

"So after his death, I needed to deal with some things that could have a big impact on me."

Ember was a little surprised, a little surprised by Alger's confession.

But Alger just smiled, his expression normal.

Even the coordinates of the original island have been revealed, of course there is no need to hide this little matter.

Concealing may cause estrangement, but speaking out can increase Ember's trust in him.

Alger could still tell which of the two was more important.

of course.

He is willing to disclose the coordinates of the original island to Ember because Ember has enough strength, and he just needs Ember's help.

Otherwise, if it were the sailors on his own ship, Alger was probably already thinking about how to destroy the corpses on a large scale, and how to explain the disappearance of the sailors on his own ship without arousing suspicion.

of course.

There is no need to tell Ember these words.
