Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

Anna finally got the chance to evacuate herself from Angelica, and she waited until Angelica had put her clothes in order before opening the door.

There was a sailor outside the door. Usually Angelica and Anna were often locked in the room. Due to the soundproofing magic, no one knew what they were doing in the room. From the sailors' point of view, the relationship between Angelica and Anna as master and servant was simply a little too good.

“It’s about to happen!”

"What?"

"The wonders of the R'lyeh Sea. The captain said that you are lucky to encounter this, so he invites you to the deck: We have encountered a ghost fleet!"

Ghost Ships.

The sailor uttered a term that Anna didn't know. Angelica, who was dressed neatly, came to Anna. She also had no idea about the so-called ghost fleet.

"I have heard of ghost ships, but what is a ghost fleet?"

The so-called ghost ship refers to a mysterious phenomenon on the sea. The sea is full of adventures and dangers. Many ships fail to return with full loads and encounter shipwrecks. However, sometimes the ship does not sink and continues to drift on the sea after the crew dies.

Another type of ghost ship is a ship that should have sunk or disappeared, but reappeared with no one on board, full of creepy atmosphere. In the world before Angelica traveled through time, ghost ships were an inexplicable phenomenon, isolated and helpless at sea, and no one knew what was going on.

However, in the world of swords and magic, the formation of ghost ships is closely related to magic, and the principle can be explained by magic. The magic power may be attached to the ship for various reasons, driving it to drift around aimlessly without being destroyed by the waves.

Having said that, most ships sailing on the sea do not want to encounter a ghost ship. When approaching a ship, the magic power attached to the ghost ship may not be able to be controlled, causing it to lose control and crash into the ship, leading to a shipwreck.

The sailor did not explain, but judging from his excited attitude when he left, he was not a dangerous person.

Anna looked at Angelica for advice, waiting for her decision.

Angelica thought for a while. She would rather stay in the room and strengthen her relationship with Anna, but Anna would never refuse at any time, and the ghost fleet was a wonder that could only be seen in the R'lyeh Sea.

"Anna, shall we go check it out?"

"Understood, Master."

Anna followed Angelica, and they both came to the deck together.

The ship's speed was greatly reduced, and many sailors gathered on the deck, even the chief chef.

The captain raised his hand and greeted the witch and the maid.

"Hey! Girls, it's not easy to get you out of your comfort zone."

"If you allow me, I don't mind staying in the room with Anna."

"You two can stay at home and enjoy your love without anyone disturbing you. Now you are at sea, it would be a pity if you don't see the scenery of the sea. The R'lyeh Sea is not a suitable route for a honeymoon, but there are still some scenery worth seeing—"

"Are you referring to the Ghost Ship Group?"

The captain nodded, but he did not immediately explain the origins of the ghost fleet.

coming soon.

"Master, look over there."

Anna pointed in the direction of the ship's side. Right in front of the Black Rose, a ship covered in a faint blue light was approaching.

That is the legendary ghost ship. The magic power attached to the ship will appear in ghostly colors and will turn the ghost ship into a gunpowder barrel formed by magic power. A collision with a ship will trigger an explosion.

What really surprised Angelica was that the ghost ship was not alone, but behind it was an entire fleet of ghost ships.

159 Mary Celeste

If you stand on the Crow's Nest of the Black Rose, you will see an extremely shocking scene.

The huge ghost fleet consisting of dozens of ships was marching majestically as if it was ruled by someone. The fleet included ordinary merchant ships, caravels and caravels, as well as frigates, pirate ships, and even fishing boats.

In terms of combat power alone, they are not particularly outstanding, but when they are organized into a complete fleet, all of them are illuminated by ghostly blue light, and they become a whole.

"Is this... a ghost ship?"

Angelica and Anna came to the side of the ship and observed the ghost fleet closely. The sails of the fishing boats and caravels were broken and fluttering, there were huge impact holes in the cabins of the merchant ships, and the pirate ships were full of traces of cannonballs and magic bombardment. The ghost ships of various shapes were silently telling their own stories.

Some of them were martyrs of the shipping route, and some were poor souls blown into the R'lyeh Sea by the storm. Facing the power of nature, the fishing boats appeared pale and powerless.

The captain finally explained.

"The ghost fleet is a unique sight in the R'lyeh Sea. Countless ghost ships wandering in the R'lyeh Sea form a fleet and wander in the fog. The most amazing thing is that the ghost ships that were originally dangerous no longer pose a threat to merchant ships after being integrated into a ghost fleet."

"Captain, you mean that the ghost fleet has never attacked before? That's incredible."

Angelica found it very abnormal. The ghost ship was formed by magic attached to the hull. It had no self-awareness. It would collide with ordinary ships and cause explosions. It was not the will of anyone, but purely caused by the attraction similar to positive and negative poles.

Ordinary people would think that the transformation of a ghost ship into a harmless ghost fleet is a wonder, but Angelica, as a magician, is a bit picky because it is difficult to explain from a magician's perspective. She does not think that ghost fleets are natural phenomena.

According to the captain, the ghost fleet has been around for some time, at least fifty years. In this dangerous sea, only the harmless ghost fleet can bring some warmth to the sailors on this route.

Over time, the ghost fleet became a unique landscape in the waters of R'lyeh.

Angelica watched ghost ship after ghost ship pass by, her heart filled with curiosity, but Angelica herself was not an avid researcher, so she did not feel uncomfortable with this curiosity suppressed in her heart.

"How's it going, Anna?"

"Master, are you asking Anna how she feels? This is a magnificent view that Anna has never seen before. I once again realized how blessed it is to be able to be alive and witness it with my own eyes."

"I've never seen it before. Even though I've lived for a long time, there are still many things in the world that I haven't seen..."

Before Angelica finished speaking, Anna's expression suddenly changed and she stood in front of Angelica.

"Master, please be careful. There is a figure on the boat."

The largest ghost ship slowly accompanied the ghost fleet, the Black Rose. If the ghost fleet had to have a flagship, it would undoubtedly be this giant sailing ship that required one to look up to see the side of the ship.

"—The Mary Celeste, a holiday boat lost at sea long ago."

The captain recognized the massive brig, the largest and most famous of all the ships in the Ghost Fleet.

"The Mary Celeste was a great attempt. After people became proficient in using magic to live a good life at sea, some merchants began to try to get tourists on board to experience the scenery at sea. The Mary Celeste was born in such an environment. This attempt was very popular. Those who were able to board a vacation ship had strong economic backgrounds, and it made a lot of money. But its ending was not very good.

"Yes, and then there occurred a great tragedy which every maritime republic mourned."

The magic guard officer also came over and looked up at the huge brig.

"The Mary Celeste's reputation was so great that it attracted the attention of the notorious Blackbeard pirates. They gathered a large number of pirate ships and captured the Mary Celeste after a fierce naval battle. The wealthy people on the ship became prisoners. They probably wanted to use this to seek ransom."

"What a bunch of idiots."

The captain scoffed.

"All the maritime republics that participated in the design of the Mary Celeste were completely enraged. They spent a lot of money to capture the Blackbeard pirates. Under the pursuit, they and the captured Mary Celeste entered the R'lyeh Sea... and were completely wiped out in the end."

However, after this tragic failure, the once promising sea resort never recovered and has not recovered to this day. People believe that the souls killed by the cruel Blackbeard pirates that day are still lingering on it and have not been taken back by the underworld.

"I saw a figure up there."

Anna reiterated her discovery. In order to protect Angelica, she kept an eye on the Mary Celeste, but she never saw anyone on the ship again.

The magic guard officer disagreed.

"You must have seen it wrong, beautiful lady. We were all afraid of the Mary Celeste at first because of the legend. Later we found that it was no different from an ordinary ghost ship, except that it was a little bigger and there would be no one on it..."

The Mary Celeste has been a ghost ship for decades. If there is anything on it, it can only be the undead. However, the undead are all ferocious monsters that should not exist, just like liches. They will all go crazy, so how could they possibly stay on the ghost ship obediently?

"I believe Anna."

"Um... May I ask, was it your magic that detected...?"

"No, I just think Anna wouldn't be wrong."

Facing Angelica's unfounded trust, the magic guard officer showed a hint of embarrassment.

"——Captain. Something's happening."

The first mate with a serious face hurried over.

"what happened?"

"The ghost fleet is not moving!"

“Oh…?”

The captain raised his eyebrows, this was not good news, he immediately opened the magic prop virtual sea chart. Since the ghost ship was attached with magic power, it would be displayed on the virtual sea chart.

The magic guard officer and the first mate changed their expressions when they saw the virtual sea chart. The ghost fleet surrounded the Black Rose tightly in the center, making it almost impossible for anyone to get in or out.

It was not until then that Angelica realized that the Mary Celeste was motionless and had been anchored near the Black Rose.

The captain closed the magic tool and sighed dully.

"We're in trouble."

160 The Witch Lady Desires to Cultivate a Waste Person

It is an unprecedented situation that the ghost fleet has its ships stuck in the center. The key problem is that the characteristics of the ghost ships make it not a feasible option to blow up the ghost ships and disengage them, which may cause a chain explosion.

The captain first clapped his hands to attract the attention of the sailors on the deck. The sailors would easily notice that the ship was stagnant, so instead of deceiving them, it would be better to stabilize their emotions first.

"Guys, something's wrong, let's go fix it."

"Oh--"

The sailors had full trust in the captain, and when the captain spoke, panic did not spread on the Black Rose.

The captain discussed with the first mate and the magic guard officer.

"Let's go up there and take a look."

"Up there...? Captain, what do you mean?"

"Go to the Mary Celeste. The fact that there are people on the Mary Celeste and the sudden stop of the ghost fleet is definitely not unrelated. Look, the Mary Celeste stopped right next to the Black Rose, and even prepared a rope ladder for us, obviously inviting us to go up."

The Mary Celeste did lower a rope ladder, but the aging rope looked unsafe and more like a trap to trick people.

The first mate and the magic guard disagreed with the captain's opinion, but they could not think of any other solution.

The next question is how to get up. The rope ladder is obviously unsafe, and the captain is the only one on the ship who can use levitation magic. After all, when sailing on the sea, magic sequences related to water are more important.

Angelica seemed to notice the troubles of the captain and others, and took the initiative to speak.

"Let us take you up there. But don't get me wrong, I want to prove Anna's innocence. Only if you see it with your own eyes will you admit that Anna was not wrong."

The magic guard officer laughed awkwardly twice, but the result was good after all.

Angelica and Anna were the first to use levitation to fly to the side of the Mary Celeste. The deck was covered with dust and there didn't seem to be any signs of life.

"Master, I..."

"Calm down, Anna."

Angelica held Anna's shaking hand. Anna certainly wasn't afraid of heights or anything. Her hand was shaking simply because...

Occupational disease occurred.

Anna is a maid. When she sees a dusty environment, she will naturally have the urge to clean it up. Strictly speaking, Anna is not a mysophobe. She does not have the habit of cleaning repeatedly. She just has a very low tolerance for dirty and messy environments.

Angelica didn't want to do this. She also didn't like an overly dirty environment, but she couldn't accept her maid doing such meaningless cleaning. They didn't need the Mary Celeste, so how could they let Anna's hands get dirty for such a boring reason?

Anna nodded slightly, her master's orders always coming first, even if they contradicted her maid instincts.

"Please let me help you solve this problem, Master."

Anna faced the Black Rose and used magic to create two chains at her wrists.

The chains shot out and entangled the bodies of the first mate and the magic guard, dragging them onto the Mary Celeste amid their earth-shattering screams. Seeing this, the captain hurriedly chanted levitation and flew to the deck of the Mary Celeste, otherwise he knew that he would be the next person to suffer. This maid was not 100% gentle to anyone other than Angelica.

"Chains? Very interesting magic. Is it the inherent magic implanted in Anna by the Golden Dawn?"

"Yes, the chain is my weapon and part of my body."

"Anna...chains and beautiful girls go well together, right?"

"Please be gentle, Master."

Anna roughly understood what Angelica meant, but still did not refuse.

The captain had no interest in interfering with other people's private lives, but after hearing their conversation, he made an exception and teased Anna.

"Miss Maid, you might spoil her."

"Then let the master rely on Anna as much as he wants."

Anna smiled. She would not back down on this point. Some loyal servants would have the courage to correct their masters who were wasting their time on pleasure, even if they would be angered by their masters. Some servants tended to completely approve of their masters. Anna belonged to the latter. She tended to make her master a useless person who could not do without her.
