Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 171 Disease Lieutenant General
"It's actually a pirate general..."

Adele and Vinata's expressions changed slightly.

Although Vice Admiral Tracy of Disease has relatively little experience among the pirate generals and is a peripheral member who was raised by the Witch Cult to divide up Vice Admiral Hurricane's power, this does not mean that her strength is much weaker than others. In other words, no matter how weak she is, she is still much stronger than Adele and Vinata combined.

According to Gagran, she seemed to have stayed at Sequence 5 for a very long time. She should have digested the "Witch of Pain" potion long ago and was seeking to be promoted. Smith, a pseudo-Sequence 5 who was not good at fighting, could cause great trouble to Adele and the others even though he was seriously injured. Not to mention the combat effectiveness of a pirate general like Tracy whose hands were stained with blood.

If a conflict broke out, Tracy alone could easily kill everyone on the Little Warhorse, not to mention the five or six fully armed pirate ships following the Black Death and the extraordinary people on them.

Didn't they say that there haven't been any pirates here for a long time? Adele smiled bitterly.

"Let's go back to the ship... Let them raise the white flag first. I'll find a chance to talk to Tracy alone."

……

Some time later, on the "Black Death".

The blonde maid knocked on the door of the captain's room and reported to Tracy, "Captain, there is a black-haired woman on the top of the ironclad ship's watchtower, holding a white flag and making some gestures towards us."

Wearing a white linen shirt and with slightly melancholy blue eyes, Sickness sat Tracy on the back of the soft sofa and said in a slightly lazy voice:

"A woman holding a flag? That's new. What kind of woman is she?"

"It was quite far away, so I couldn't see her face clearly. I only saw that she had long black hair and a classical robe."

The blonde maid secretly glanced up at her captain and added, "I guess she might be a member of the sect... because her temperament is very similar to yours, Captain."

"Very similar to me..."

Tracy repeated the sentence, as if she was chewing on its meaning. After a moment, she told the blonde maid, "Annie, take some people on a small boat and take control of the boat first, then bring the woman over. Keep those guys under control until I give the order. Don't let them move."

She thought for a moment, then ordered, "If she has a companion, bring them along as well."

"Yes, Captain." The blonde maid Anne bowed and then quickly walked out of the room. Her somewhat vulgar orders to the pirates were heard in the corridor.

……

"They sent a few small boats over here. It seems they want to temporarily take over the Little War Horse..."

Wendy's heart went cold when she saw the pirate ship. She knew what would happen to most female crew members like her if the pirates boarded the ship. There was no other way to escape in the vast ocean, and she couldn't do anything with her own abilities. It was hard not to be frustrated in this situation.

As a time traveler, this is a hellish start, isn't it? If I could choose, I would rather choose a world with a lower difficulty...

Wendy thought helplessly in her heart, and her hands holding Sophie trembled slightly.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Wendy was so scared that her whole body trembled. She almost couldn't control herself and shot the person in front of her.

Adele and Vinata walked in. Although their clothes were a little torn from the previous fight, it was obvious that both of them were fine.

"Ms. Wendy, please pack your things."

Adele smiled at her gently.

"Why are you packing?" Wendy asked confusedly.

"To be honest, it's a bit troublesome to explain..." Adele shook her head in distress. "Anyway, I'm a witch, and now the General of Disease has specifically asked me to take my companions on her ship. The ship will be sailed to the nearest nameless island for maintenance under her supervision."

"In short, this place will be occupied by Admiral Disease's men in a moment. Do you want to go aboard the Black Death with me, or stay on the same ship with those pirates?"

……

Soon, Adele and her four companions boarded a small boat that could accommodate more than ten people and headed for the Black Death. When boarding the ship, Anne, a blonde and blue-eyed female pirate in a maid outfit, gave Wendy a meaningful look that made her shudder.

The interior decoration of the Black Death was much more luxurious than that of the Little War Horse, which was a whaler. This was especially true in the reception room. The tall rosewood bookshelves were inlaid with copper ornaments, and the layers of wide partitions were filled with hardcover books. The bookshelves were placed close to the walls, facing a row of three-seater sofas, and in the middle was a large table with outdated newspapers.

Maid Anne took them to the living room to wait, and signaled Adele to go to the captain's room alone.

"Ms. Statham, you..."

No matter how slow Wendy was, she should have realized something was wrong by now. She had a complicated expression and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it.

"You should just call me Adele..." Adele sighed. "I'll let Miss Sevens explain it to you later. But I can assure you now that I'm not a pirate, not now, and not before."

Then she nodded slightly to the maid Anne, indicating that she should lead the way.

"You appear to be injured."

Anne said respectfully, not knowing whether it was because of Tracy's order or because she saw Tracy's shadow in Adele. "If you think it will affect the meeting with the captain later, I will do a simple thing for you first."

Seeing Adele's gaze, she explained, "My Path Sequence 8 is called 'Physician', and I am very experienced in treating various injuries."

"It's okay." Adele shook her head. "Simple conversations won't be affected, but I may have to trouble you later."

"It's my honor." Anne didn't continue. After saying this, she took Adele to the captain's room.

"Come in, the captain is inside."

Adele took a deep breath and opened the door, and Anne then closed it from the outside.

Lieutenant General Tracy, who was wearing a pure white shirt, beige trousers and black leather boots, was sitting opposite her, with a lazy and charming temperament. Behind her hung a pair of old-fashioned double-barreled shotguns, and in the open closet next to her hung a golden and red dress that looked like it had not been worn for a long time.

"It looks like a 'witch' indeed..." Tracy's voice was very pleasant, like a clear silver bell. "But to be on the safe side, I still need to confirm which witch your 'mother' is?"

According to the rules of the witch sect, the more formal term "mother" is used to refer to the sect elders who guided them on the path of becoming a witch, and the biological mother is called "mom". However, if the biological father has also become a witch, then the term "mom" can also be used to refer to the biological father, which makes it easier to distinguish.

"My mother...my mother is the head of the Backlund Parish, Gagran."

It was the first time that Adele introduced herself to another witch in this way, and she couldn't help feeling a little awkward.

Hearing this name, Tracy's expression became a little strange. After a while, she said awkwardly:

"So you are her child... She and my mother, 'White Saint' Katarina, were... uh, brothers before the transformation."

Then, she hesitated for a while before continuing, "Although this kind of relationship is a bit strange within the Witch Cult, if we use the analogy of ordinary people's relationship, you should be considered my cousin."
