Chapter 530 Lian’s Worries
The vast sea surface has returned to its former azure color. The Pretty Woman rides the wind and waves, advancing against the sparkling waves. The hull rises and falls with the waves, making a rhythmic creaking sound.
"Full the sail! Boys, move!" One-Eyed Jack yelled, "We will reach the shoal today!"
The sailors on the mast shouted trumpets, pulled the three-finger-thick hemp rope, and unfolded the sail little by little. On a sea with ever-changing weather conditions, this operation of sailing and reefing occurs several times a day. Lian looked at the people crawling around above her head, looking like monkeys.
"It's really troublesome." The old captain walked up to the witches. "It would be easier if I could have a ship like Crescent Moon Bay that sails without sails. What is that thing called?"
"The paddle steamer," Lian raised her eyebrows, "was made by His Highness Roland."
"Can't you just ask His Highness to build one for you?" Mi Tang said while teasing the seabird on his shoulder, "Others can't speak in front of him, but you are different."
"Kid, why do you make it sound like I know him very well?"
"You are familiar with Lady Tilly," she stuck out her tongue, "His Royal Highness Roland is very kind to Lady Tilly."
Jack took a deep drag on his pipe, with a look of heartache on his face, "...Forget it, I heard from those businessmen that a paddle steamer costs more than a thousand gold dragons, and I can't even get it even if I sell you."
"That's not necessarily true," Zefeng joked, "In Maleficent, Lian's bounty fee is calculated in hundreds of gold dragons. Last time, the businessman named Dulat Goldbeard planned to spend more than a thousand gold dragons. A golden dragon has kept her for a long time. That's enough for just one lotus, let alone the four of us."
"Zefeng!" Lian punched her angrily, "You clearly know what he was doing, and I don't want to hear his name again!"
"You're kidding," Ze Feng hugged her into his arms and chuckled, "How could I be willing to sell you. After Master Tilly heard about this, she even specially negotiated with the Crescent Moon Bay Chamber of Commerce. No one will do it in the future. That’s what I mentioned.”
"You guys have a really good relationship," Jack blew out a smoke ring, "but... those two people seem to rarely talk to you?"
At the mention of the other two witches, there was a brief silence among the three. After a moment, Zefeng said, "They were originally witches from the Wolf Heart Kingdom."
The old captain asked in confusion, "Aren't they all witches?"
"They support Hetty Morgan more than Lady Tilly."
"Morgan..." He touched his chin and thought for a while, "She is the royal family of Wolf Heart?"
"It's just a branch," Hefeng waved his hand, "Actually, it's nothing. We just haven't been together for a short time, and we haven't been able to open our hearts yet."
The old man probably realized something and did not continue to ask.
Lian doesn't know much about the kingdom's nobles. She only knows that the witches of Sleeping Island are not sisters like those in Border Town. Most of them are from Graycastle, and some are from Dawn and Wolfheart, because Tilly is an organization of the relocation operation. Because she is the most noble person, everyone regards her as the leader, and the same goes for witches in foreign countries. However, when the churches on the fjord islands were eradicated, the situation gradually became different.
This was particularly obvious to Lian, who had just returned to Sleeping Island in Xie Yue. After not seeing each other for only a few months, the Wolf Heart Witch had gradually lived together and rarely talked to others during meals. According to Moriel, they were all members of the Bloodfang Society in the past, similar to the Graycastle Mutual Aid Society, and the leader of the Bloodfang Society was Hetty Morgan.
When they first joined Sleeping Island, there were only about twenty witches in the Bloodfang Society. They were considered a minority on the island. That was all. But among the more than twenty people, there were eighteen combat witches. In other words, when they accept members, they have selected them in advance, and only powerful witches can join them. This is completely different from the practices of the Mutual Aid Association and Sleeping Island. Because of this, their fighting ability is extremely powerful. When Tilly implemented the cleaning plan, the Wolf Heart Witch took over the Double Dragon Island Cathedral with the largest number of believers.
Because of this, Hetty Morgan believed that the Bloodfang Society was the core of Sleeping Island. Even if the other party did not openly declare this, Lian could feel it. She doesn't like the idea that combat witches have a higher status than non-combat witches, and she also agrees with Lady Tilly's proposition that witches are equal. Unfortunately, not everyone sees it that way. During Lady Tilly's absence, Hetty had several conflicts with Camilla Darry, the "Steward of Sleeping Island". Fortunately, the latter was also a noble of the royal capital and was no weaker than her opponent in terms of momentum. In the end, she calmly Blocked.
Thinking of this, Lian sighed helplessly. She was not worried about what would happen to Lady Tilly. After all, Ashes, the strongest witch on Sleeping Island, was a strong supporter of Lady Tilly. As the only transcendent who can wear the Stone of God's Punishment in battle, as long as she is around, the entire Blood Fang Guild will not be a match for Ashes alone. She was worried about her trip this time. To be honest, she didn't want to be with the wolf-hearted witch at all.
Moreover, the selection of people this time was also very strange. Apart from her and Mi Tang, there were actually two fighting witches among the remaining three people on board the Pretty Beauty... It stands to reason that Lady Tilly should know that His Highness Roland prefers auxiliary witches. , His strange weapons are enough to allow ordinary people to have the ability to fight against the Church's Judgment Army. If this is the case, why bring along people from the Blood Fang Society?
After thinking for a long time and unable to get an answer, Lian had no choice but to put all these distracting thoughts aside.
Probably, Lady Tilly has considerations that she cannot understand.
…
When the sun sets in the west, the shallow golden shoal reflected by the setting sun appears in front of everyone.
Also appearing at the same time were a hot air balloon floating in mid-air and a huge strange bird.
"Oh my god... what is that!?" The sailors on the deck exclaimed in shock. They saw the strange bird folding its wings and swooping towards the Pretty Woman. As the distance quickly got closer, its sharp claws and the bloody mouth are clearly visible.
"Are there any enemies?" The witch from the Bloodfang Society rushed out of the cabin after hearing the noise. She was also startled by the attacking giant beast. "What kind of monster is this?"
"No matter what it is, just catch it!" The other person quickly calmed down, "My cage doesn't care whether the target is big or small."
"Wait... that's not an enemy," Lian quickly stopped, "it flew over from the hot air balloon."
The other party glanced at her and said, "Hot air balloon?"
"The tool His Highness Roland uses to pick up witches," Hefeng stopped in front of the two of them, "Don't worry, I trust Lian's judgment."
The terrifying giant beast was getting closer and closer, and it let out a high-pitched roar, but... Lian felt that it was not a threat.
"O-o-gu!"
Just when the monster was about to hit the sail, the huge figure suddenly disappeared, and then a white dove landed steadily on Lian's head.
"You are finally here," Maisie rubbed her cheek, "Welcome back!" (To be continued.)
