The expanse of the sea returned to its former blue, and the Pretty Lady rode the wind and waves, sparkling with the waves, making a rhythmic creaking sound. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Pull the sails full, boys, get moving!" yelled One-Eyed Jack, "we'll be here today!"

The sailors on the mast shouted trumpets, pulled the three-finger-thick twine, and unfurled the sail little by little. On the sea, where the climate is changing, this kind of sail releasing and releasing happens several times a day. Lian looked at the people crawling overhead, like monkeys.

"What a hassle," said the old captain, as he walked up to the witches, "if I could have a ship like the one that doesn't need to sail in Moonmoon Bay, what would that thing be called?"

"The paddle steamer," Lian said, raising an eyebrow, "it was made by His Highness Roland. ”

"Won't it be better for you to ask Your Highness to build you one too?" said Honey, teasing the seabird on her shoulder, "Others can't speak in front of him, but you're different." ”

"Little ghost, how do you say that I seem to know him very well. ”

"You're familiar with Mistress Tilly," she stuck out her tongue, "His Highness Roland has been nice to Mistress Tilly." ”

Jack took a hard puff on his pipe and looked heartbroken, "...... Forget it, I heard from that group of merchants that a paddle steamer costs more than a thousand golden dragons, and I won't be able to make up for it even if I sell you. ”

"Not necessarily," Kazuka quipped, "In the Maleficent Charm, Lotus's bounty is calculated in the form of 100 golden dragons, and last time the merchant named Durat Goldbeard planned to use more than 1,000 golden dragons to keep her for a long time." Just one lotus is like that, not to mention the four of us. ”

"Zephyr!" Lian punched her angrily, "You know what he's paying attention to, I don't want to hear his name again!"

"Just kidding," Kazukaze took her into his arms and chuckled softly, "how could I be willing to sell you." When Tilly heard about this, she made a special negotiation with the Moonmoon Bay Chamber of Commerce, and no one would mention it in the future. ”

"You're on good terms," Jack spat out a smoke ring, "but ...... Those two don't seem to talk to you very much?"

At the mention of the other two witches, there was a brief silence in all three. After a while, Kazukaze spoke, "They were originally witches from the Wolf's Heart Kingdom. ”

The old captain wondered, "Aren't they all witches?"

"They support Herty Morgan more than Master Tilly. ”

"Morgan......" he touched his chin and thought for a while, "She's the royal family of the wolf's heart?"

"It's just a branch," Zephyr waved his hand, "it's actually nothing, everyone just hasn't been together for a short time, and they can't open their hearts yet." ”

The old man probably realized something, and did not ask any further.

Lian didn't know much about the nobles of the kingdom, she only knew that the witches of the Sleeping Isle were not like sisters like the border towns - most of them were from Grey Keep, and some of them were from Dawn and Wolfheart, and since Tilly was the organizer of the evacuation and the most noble, everyone regarded her as the leader, and the same was true for the witches of the foreign land. But when the churches in the fjord islands were eradicated, things changed.

This is especially evident in the fact that Lian, who only returned to the Isle of Sleep during the Evil Moon, has only been seen for a few months, and the Wolfheart Witch has gradually lived together, and rarely accosting others during meals. According to Moriel, they were all members of the Bloodtooth Society, similar to the Greykeep Mutual Aid Society, and the leader of the Bloodtooth Society was Hety Morgan.

When they first joined Sleeping Island, there were only about twenty witches in the Blood Fang Society, which was considered a minority on the island, and if it was just that, there were eighteen battle witches out of more than twenty people. In other words, when they admit members, they are pre-selected, and only powerful witches can join them, which is very different from the practices of Mutual Aid and Sleeping Island. Because of this, they are extremely capable of fighting, and when Tilly carried out the cleanup plan, the Wolfheart Witch took charge of the Cathedral of Ssangyong Island, which has the largest number of believers.

Because of this, Herty Morgan believes that the Blood Fang Society is the heart of the Sleeping Isle - something that Lotus can feel even if the other party doesn't openly claim it. She doesn't like the idea that Battle Witches are higher than non-Battle Witches, and agrees with Master Tilly's idea that "witches are equal", but unfortunately not everyone sees it that way. In the absence of Master Tilly, Hetty also had several conflicts with Camilla Dary, the "Great Butler of the Sleeping Island", but fortunately, the latter was also a nobleman of the royal capital, and he was not weaker than the other party in terms of momentum, and finally stopped quietly.

Thinking of this, Lian sighed helplessly, she wasn't worried about what would happen to Mistress Tilly, after all, Ash, the strongest witch on the Sleeping Island, was a strong supporter of Mistress Tilly. As the only transcendent who can wear the Divine Punishment Stone to fight, as long as she is there, the entire Blood Fang Society is no match for Ash alone. She was worried about her trip, and to be honest, she didn't want to be with the wolf-hearted witch at all.

And this time the selection of people is also very strange, in addition to her and Honey, there are actually two battle witches among the remaining three people who take the Pretty Beauty...... It stands to reason that Lord Tilly should know that Her Highness Roland prefers auxiliary witches, and his strange weapons are enough for ordinary people to have the ability to fight against the Church Inquisition, so why bring someone from the Blood Fang Society?

After thinking about it for a long time and not getting an answer, Lian had to put these distracting thoughts aside.

Presumably, Tilly-sama has her own considerations that she can't understand.

......

When the sun sets in the west, the pale golden shallows of the setting sun appear in front of everyone.

At the same time, there is also a hot air balloon floating in mid-air, and a huge strange bird.

"Oh my God...... What is that!?" the sailors on deck let out a burst of exclamation, only to see the strange bird fold its wings and swoop down on the Pretty Beauty, its sharp claws and bloody jaws clearly visible as the distance quickly closed.

"Are there any enemies?" the Bloodfang Witch rushed out of the cabin and was startled by the attacking beast, "What kind of monster is this?"

"Whatever it is, just catch it!" the other quickly calmed down, "My cage doesn't matter how big or small. ”

"Wait...... That's not the enemy," Lian hurriedly stopped, "it flew by the hot air balloon." ”

The other party glanced at her, "Hot air balloons?"

"The tool that His Highness Roland used to pick up witches," Kazukaze stopped in front of the two of them, "Don't worry, I believe Lian's judgment is good." ”

The terrifying behemoth drew closer and roared, but ...... Lian felt that it was not a threat.

"Whoa――――― ――――― goo-!"

Just as the monster was about to hit the sails, the huge figure suddenly disappeared, and then a white dove landed firmly on top of Lian's head.

"You're finally here," Maisie rubbed her cheek, "welcome back!." (To be continued.) )
