Secrets: Priestess

Chapter 217 Boarding Transaction
"It turned out to be the rumored 'Blue Avenger'."

Ships of all sizes belonging to the Star Pirates were scattered at a certain distance from the Blue Avenger.

A black-haired woman dressed like a mysterious witch, walking on an illusory long bridge created by witchcraft.

She stood beside the "Blue Avenger", a deep purple hue flashing in her black eyes as she looked at everyone on board the "Blue Avenger".

The dark blue-haired man wearing a captain's hat was the captain of the Blue Avengers. Cattleya, who was also a pirate captain, could easily identify him.

The cloaked woman wearing a white mask is as difficult to detect as darkness. She is an extraordinary person with unique concealment methods.

A little behind her, a pretty woman with similar hair color exudes an extremely dangerous feeling.

The rest could tell the identities of the crew members at a glance, but they were not sure whether there were any dangerous people hiding among them.

Cattleya, the "Admiral of the Stars," made a quick judgment. While remaining composed, she was also vigilantly prepared for the other party's attack, especially the seemingly active ghost ship in front of her, which made her quite wary.

"I never thought that my ship's name would have the honor of reaching the ears of 'Admiral of the Stars'." Alger said loudly. With the confidence brought by the two foreign aids of the Church of Evernight and the confidence in the ghost ship under his command, even when facing the female pirate who was rumored to be close to demigod, he calmly maintained the demeanor of a pirate captain.

Cattleya smiled and replied, "The ghost ship of the Five Seas—it's a maritime legend that attracts countless people... Even I can't help but be curious. I hope my intrusion hasn't caused you any trouble or misunderstanding."

Upon hearing this, Alger skillfully mimicked the pirates' rough, arrogant, yet hearty laugh and said loudly, "We are also curious about the demeanor of the 'Admiral of the Stars'. My ship is stopping here, and I hope it doesn't obstruct your passage."

At this moment, Claire spoke up to stop the two from testing each other, and frankly explained to Cattleya the reason for their lingering wait: "'Admiral of the Stars,' I heard you're a Beyonder of the 'Secret Peeper' path. I'd like to make a deal with you."

Cattleya looked at Claire, who was hiding her identity, and said softly, "Deal? What kind of deal?"

"Two ingredients..." Claire secretly passed the names of the two main ingredients recorded in the "Scroll Professor" to Cattleya using witchcraft.

After "seeing" the names of the two materials and witnessing the methods of witchcraft, Cattleya looked amused.

Judging from the information revealed by the other party, she believed that the woman in front of her wearing a pure white mask was most likely a Sequence 7 "Wizard".

Of course, it is also possible that the material is prepared for others, and its own level is higher than Sequence 7.

There was even the possibility that this was a trap set for her.

Cattleya, confident in her own abilities, wasn't afraid of this, but she remained cautious. She replied, "I happen to have these materials on board. Madam, would you like to trade on my 'Future'?"

The flagship of the Star Pirates, the huge Future, was slowly sailing towards this side, and the rippling water gave people an extremely magnificent feeling.

Alger secretly wanted Claire to reject the other party's proposal. The flagship of a legendary pirate was one of the most dangerous places in the Five Seas.

No one knows what treacherous tricks these crazy guys who make a living on the sea will arrange on the ship.

"Okay." Claire said in a light tone, accepting it happily.

Is it self-confidence or arrogance... Alger sighed inwardly. Ms. Flora did not seem to be the latter, but he was unwilling to put his safety in the hands of others.

He neither tried to stop them nor showed any intention to go with them, but he was thinking in his heart, if something bad really happened, would it be possible to use the "Blue Avenger" to rescue people and escape.

Tessa, who was a little further behind her, now walked up to Claire's side, clearly showing her willingness to travel to the "Future" together. The transparent, illusory bridge beneath Cattleya's feet began to extend towards her, making an inviting gesture.

Claire had many ways to get to the "Future", but at this moment she calmly accepted the invitation from her host. Accompanied by Tessa, she stepped onto the illusory bridge and walked towards the huge "Future" in the distance.

Stepping onto the "Future" is like walking into a huge ritual magic made up of various overlapping mysterious symbols, with mysterious spells covering the decks, bulkheads, masts and other places.

It is not a legacy passed down from ancient times like the "Blue Avenger", but it is mysterious enough to demonstrate the background and strength of this female pirate general.

Unlike the Blue Avenger, which had a small crew, the Future had a sufficient number of pirate crew members. Most of them performed their duties very rigorously, but there were also some pirates who curiously and boldly stared at Claire and the others.

The strong man in overalls and a white shirt, holding a fish in his arms and a mushroom in his hand, gave people a sense of incongruity.

The man is tall and thin, with an unproportionately high nose bridge, but he gives people a sickly feeling.

The woman is over 1.8 meters tall, wearing hot clothes, and her gaze is equally hot.

……

Only the old man in his fifties wearing a pointed hat looked quite reliable.

On the "Future", there is a sense of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". However, no one without a story would go to sea to become a pirate.

Perhaps due to Claire and the other two's female identities, Cattleya called in the 6'8" female pirate to guide them. She introduced, "I need to confirm the status of the transaction materials. This is the boatswain on the ship. She will take you to the captain's cabin first."

It seems that Cattleya has a good habit of strictly preserving extraordinary items, and has corresponding storage and sealed places on the ship.

"Hello. My name is Nina."

The female pirate with Feysac's features had a bust so large that even Claire couldn't ignore it. Tessa took the initiative to hold Claire's arm.

Cattleya, who was about to leave, saw this intimate action, and her dark eyes with a purple hue revealed a hint of understanding.

Claire didn't resist and followed Nina to the captain's room. On the way, Nina asked curiously, "You came from the ghost ship... Are there really ghosts on the ghost ship?"

Claire smiled and shook her head: "Maybe, but I haven't seen it."

There are many secrets hidden in the Hanged Man's "Blue Avenger", but Claire restrained herself from exploring them, so as not to worsen her relationship with the "Hanged Man" and the Church of Storms. Her goal was clear: to capture "Vice-Admiral of Disease" Tracy as soon as possible, and she did not want to cause any trouble.

Nina sighed in frustration. "It's rare to come across a legendary ghost ship, and I'm very curious. But the captain won't let us get close... Hmm, you don't look like people used to being at sea. Are you guests on the ghost ship?"

It seemed that Cattleya not only arranged a guide for them on the ship, but also intended to use this fiery boatswain to gather intelligence.

"We want to search the sea for some materials that are hard to find on land." Claire responded. Searching for potion materials was indeed a side purpose, and it was not a lie, nor did she reveal any information about the "Blue Avengers."

After chatting for a few minutes, we arrived at the captain's room.

The style of Cattleya's captain's room was simple. After a while, Cattleya, wearing a pair of thick glasses, walked in holding a box of materials.
