Chapter 456: A Provocation with Excellent Effect
"There's interference, but it's not strong? Is it Elaine's own anti-divination measures? That's right. If she had no way to deal with divination, Tracy would have captured her through various means long ago... As long as she doesn't fall into the hands of a pirate of the Pirate General's level, with her Sequence 7 strength, at least her escape will be no problem..."
Angel felt relieved to see that the red-haired lady was not in danger of life.
She was a little curious about why the other party had returned to Zhongcheng Island again.
Could it be that she's encountered a shipwreck again and boarded the wrong ship again? This possibility isn't small. After all, last week, due to the "Sea God" attack on Bayam, the entire Rorsted Archipelago was hit by tsunamis of varying degrees... Could it be that the negative effects of my "Good Luck" revolver have affected her?
Angel was about to laugh at Elaine who was far away when he heard a knock on the door behind him.
"who?"
She asked warily.
"It's me, Danitz."
The sharp voice of "Flame" came from outside the door.
Danitz? Is he here to see Klein?
Angel recognized the other person's voice, felt relieved, and stood up to open the door.
Standing outside the door in disguise, with black hair, blue eyes and a baseball cap, is "Flame". He is now worth 6,000 pounds. He dares not reveal his true face when he goes out, otherwise his skyrocketing value will not be matched by his corresponding strength, and he will become a meal for many adventurers, intelligence dealers and pirate informants in the "City of Generosity".
"What's up?"
Angel asked curiously, then looked behind Danitz but found no trace of Klein.
"Hermann asked me to tell you that he tracked down Senior's first mate and went to the Red Theater. He might not be back tonight."
How dare he mention the Red Theater... Angel could barely contain his smile. He was about to ask further questions when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He narrowed his eyes and carefully examined Danitz in front of him until the latter took a step back in confusion.
"Danitz... No, I should call you German. 'Faceless Man' is fun, right?"
She reached out and poked Danitz's waist, but he dodged it deftly.
"How did you tell that?" The skin on his face squirmed, becoming more angular and youthful. His hair and eye color also returned to normal. "No, you guessed it too. Otherwise, you wouldn't call me 'German'..."
"That's a guess, after all. The Faceless Man can only mimic the target's appearance, not their abilities."
Angel nodded proudly, quite satisfied with his own judgment.
"Ability? Did you say arson?"
Klein was curious. He flicked his wrist and a bright yellow fireball flew out, hitting the carpet in the middle of the living room. It vanished with a puff, causing no damage.
This is the magician's trick.
"No, to be more precise, it's a trait of his, the trait of a 'provocateur'. If it was Danitz who said what you just said, it would make me want to hit him even more... Besides, I've already sold my magic pocket watch, so flames won't scare me anymore."
"I didn't mean to scare you..." Klein muttered as he walked into the living room and closed the door behind him. His somewhat worn-looking coat shimmered and deformed, stretching into a black windbreaker.
"Did you really just transform into Danitz and go to the Red Theater?"
Angel asked suspiciously as he watched Klein skillfully change his clothes with illusion and his appearance with the "Faceless Man" ability.
"How is that possible!" Klein flatly denied. "It's closed during the day... No, that's not the point. 'Blood Admiral' Senior has likely bypassed Bayam and headed south. Last week's rampage by 'Sea God' and the rebels' attacks made the City of Generosity like a wary hedgehog. No one wants to come here and risk bad luck."
This topic successfully attracted Angel's attention. She frowned and thought for a moment, then said:
"So our plan to hunt down Admiral Blood has failed?"
"Perhaps we'll have to find another opportunity. It seems the death of a second mate hasn't yet robbed him of his sanity, daring him to brave the storm and come near Bayam."
After saying that, the two of them stared at each other and sighed together.
Angel sighed that the large bounty he had been eyeing had slipped away, while Klein felt that he had lost a great opportunity to make "German Sparrow" famous and complete the role of "Faceless Man" at the same time.
"But after selling the 'Magic Pocket Watch', you should have 6,000 pounds in savings. Together with my share, it's enough to buy the main ingredient for a potion. Once you find the 'Gazing Eye' and get the other ingredient, we'll almost have it all..."
There was another knock on the door, causing Klein to stop talking. He turned back to look at the door and whispered:
"Danis is really here."
"Then you can transform into the fake 'Danitz' and see which one looks more like you?"
Angel said softly, trying not to be heard by the real one outside the door.
"Didn't you say his provocative abilities can't be imitated?" Klein replied in a low voice. His eyes suddenly lit up, and his face quickly contorted into the undisguised form of "Flame." "Let's see his true provocative abilities, shall we?"
…
Outside, Danitz continued to knock impatiently. He could hear some murmurs of conversation behind the door. If he pressed his head against the door, he might be able to hear it clearly, but after so many days of struggling to survive, he had already learned one thing: look less, listen less, and ask less. If you don't know, then it doesn't exist.
This brought him back to the long-lost days of slacking off on the "Golden Dream", where he didn't even have to attend classes!
Bang bang——
He knocked on the door again.
"Come in."
The sound coming from inside made Danitz stand there in a daze.
That was the voice of his captain, Vice Admiral "Iceberg" Edwina Edwards!
Holy shit, did I hear that wrong? Was I hallucinating because I was just remembering what happened in class?
He muttered, raising and lowering his hand, before finally pressing the handle, pushing open the door, and looking inside the suite.
The scene he had dreamed of countless times appeared before his eyes.
Wearing a black coat with a brown vest underneath, "Flame" Danitz sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, his short golden hair flying arrogantly. One hand held a wine glass with the crystal-clear wine swaying inside, and the other hand rested on the back of the sofa.
In his arms, half-lying was a woman with a high nose bridge and thin lips. Her long brown hair was tied up in a beautiful and delicate knot. She wore a thin women's shirt on the upper body, a waist-hugging jacket on the outside, and a knee-length skirt that exposed her ankles. Her calves, which made countless sailors on the "Golden Dream" stare at her, were casually draped over her shoulders and swayed from time to time.
That was really, really his captain, Edwina!
Danitz's eyes widened, and he felt like he was back in his dream again, back in the erotic dreams where things were always within his reach, yet he couldn't believe it, and so often woke up in shock.
But if it was my dream, why was I at the door, watching myself and the captain like a third party, and the captain's...
He suddenly realized that something was wrong, and his spiritual awareness was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, which made him shudder and wake up.
"German Sparrow?" His voice was intermittent and trembling. He then turned his gaze to the woman with Edwina's face and subconsciously shrank his neck under the gaze of her light blue eyes. "Angelica Sage?"
Although Danitz remembered that the latter only had the ability to change his appearance and not his body shape, if the man was German, then the woman would definitely be Angelica.
He could not imagine Hermann embracing a strange woman, just as no woman other than the captain would appear in his dreams.
Sure enough, the faces of the two people in front of him changed rapidly and returned to the two people he was familiar with.
"Trying out a relatively new, um, method of provocation."
Hermann smiled, a rare occurrence, and spoke in a calm tone.
I'm challenging you, you son of a bitch!
Danitz took a deep breath, his back arched, and was about to blurt out all the insults he remembered about Intis, Feysac, Loen, and Elvish, to teach the two people in front of him what true provocation was.
But in the end, remembering the brand new wanted poster worth 12,000 pounds he had just seen downstairs, and the "wriggling hunger" that released intense malice, the thousands of words in his heart finally turned into a short sentence:
“It’s working pretty well.”
Well, I can tell from the veins on your forehead and your clenched teeth... Angel cleared his throat, regained his tone, and asked:
"What's up?"
"The captain informed me in a dream communication that 'Blood Admiral' Senior's fleet has passed Changwei Island, southwest of Bayam. Based on their current course, they should be preparing to enter the Raging Sea. She asked...she asked if you would like to visit the 'Golden Dream' to discuss follow-up plans."
Danitz's face turned purple, and he seemed to be very reluctant to deliver his captain's message.
Go meet "Iceberg Vice Admiral" Edwina?
Angel, who had just used the "hypocrisy" ring to transform into the fake Edwina, felt his face getting hot.

As there were wanted criminals worth 12,000 pounds and 6,000 pounds in the team, the three had to buy expensive boat tickets that did not require identification. They traveled for a whole day from Bayam to Dirinius and arrived at the nearby Port of Graggs. They then rented a simple fishing boat to leave the port. When the port behind them disappeared below the sea level, an 80-meter-long steam and sail hybrid warship painted golden yellow appeared in front of Angel.
This is the flagship of Vice Admiral Iceberg, one of the seven pirate generals, and the only ship under his command, the Golden Dream.
