Seeing that Gehrman Sparrow didn't say a word, Tracy's heart slowly sank, as if she had fallen into an icy cave.

Looking at the despair-filled expression of Vice Admiral Disease, Klein pulled out a piece of notepaper from his pocket and flicked his wrist, letting it fly forward like a playing card.

With a whoosh, the sticky note was like metal, cutting off a small amount of invisible spider silk, splitting the clear ice crystals, and passing through Tracy's left upper arm, leaving a streak of blood.

The surface of the paper quickly turned bright red, and it flew over the witch who was imprisoned in place and spun back into Klein's palm.

"..." Tracy originally thought that the note would go for her throat, but she didn't expect it to go for her arm. She was stunned for a moment until Gehrman Sparrow folded the paper and put it into an iron cigarette box. Then she suddenly came to her senses and asked, "Your real purpose is to find Katarina?"

Klein casually put the iron cigarette box back into his pocket and asked calmly without answering:

"Are you her descendant?"

Hearing this, Tracy, who was still trapped by the ice crystals and spider silk and unable to move, suddenly laughed softly:

"More than a descendant, I am her child."

Child...daughter...Klein was glad that he didn't rashly kill her, causing the "White Witch" Katarina to sense it. At the same time, he subconsciously analyzed whether Katarina was the mother or father of the "Sick Girl" Tracy:

If Katarina was once a man, she could indeed be Tracy's father. But the problem is that she was already a Sequence 4 demigod during the "Pale Disaster" at the end of the Fourth Epoch, and the "Assassin" path would change from male to female at the "Witch" stage of Sequence 7...

In other words, for Katarina to be Tracy's father, Tracy must be at least 1,300 years old, and it is impossible for a Sequence 5 Beyonder to live that long, and even most of the Sequence 4 and Sequence 3 Saints cannot do it!

There is only one answer, that is, Tracy was born by Katarina herself, and it happened in the last few decades... a mother who was over a thousand years old... Klein nodded slightly and asked in a confirming tone without any change in expression:

"She's your mother?"

Tracy's expression suddenly became a little strange:

"No, mother."

Klein was about to ask what the difference was between this and mom's. In essence, isn't one more formal and the other more colloquial? Tracy had already sneered and said,

"My mom is someone else. She was once my father."

...Your witch family is so chaotic... But this is no reason for you to spread the disaster to the outside world... Klein used the ability of the "Joker" to control the muscles on his face and continued to look at the "Sick Girl" expressionlessly.

Tracy, who was already in a desperate situation, was now a little self-destructive. Without waiting for Gehrman Sparrow's response, she sighed and said with a self-deprecating smile:

“Maybe I was a mistake from birth.

"Abnormal parents, abnormal family relationships, and abnormal sect members have shaped me and hurt me. When I was 8 years old, I found that my father, whom I had always secretly admired as a role model, suddenly turned into a woman. He became more and more delicate and adept at using his own charm. Later, he even found a male friend and gave birth to a younger brother for me. Can you imagine how I felt?

"When I ran away from home and came to the sea, after years of hard work, I finally found my normal self and social cognition and understood what I really wanted. A bottle of magic potion turned me into a woman, haha, a woman..."

Klein listened quietly and said at a constant pace:

"You have a good ability to instigate."

"..." Tracy opened her mouth, but finally sighed and smiled with a complicated expression, "I admit that I just wanted to arouse your sympathy. Everyone wants to live, isn't that right? However, I didn't tell a lie, those are all my life experiences."

She stopped exaggerating her pain and sorrow and said after a pause:

"Before you kill me, I want to ask you a question that won't embarrass you."

"What?" Klein said, looking at the witch opposite him.

Tracy hesitated for a while, and finally asked:

"Did Elaine know about this before you came to assassinate me last time?"

Klein was silent for a moment and said:

"She had no idea what was going to happen."

Tracy's face suddenly lit up:

"real?"

Without waiting for Gehrman Sparrow to respond, she revealed an extremely complicated expression and said:

"Before I die, can I ask you for one more thing? If you can see Elaine again, tell her that I feel guilty about what happened in the past, but I don't regret it."

Having said this, Tracy tried to shake her head, but was restrained by the clear ice crystals and invisible spider silk and failed.

She could only laugh at herself and said:

“Forget it, there’s no need to tell her, so leave it at that.

"You can start now."

After saying that, Tracy closed her eyes.

After waiting for a few seconds, she did not feel the pain she expected. Instead, she heard Gehrman Sparrow say in a low voice:

"Say, everyone, don't bother me."

...Tracy was surprised, her heart was filled with confusion, and her expression became quite bewildered.

However, since she was already facing death, such a small matter was not worth worrying about. She didn't think much about it and opened her mouth and said:

"Don't bother me, everyone."

As soon as she finished speaking, the same voice echoed back on the Black Death, louder than before.

The pirates did not have any doubts about this. As if following some strange rule, they instinctively avoided the captain's room and continued to busy themselves with their own affairs.

The captain said not to disturb her, so they naturally won’t go looking for her during this time!

At the same time, Tracy saw Gehrman Sparrow take off his hat, press it to his chest, and bow slightly to her, as if to say goodbye.

Then, she felt isolated from the whole world. Everything around her was quiet, and even the crazy adventurer disappeared.

She got the "undisturbed" environment she wanted.

“Magnification” and “distortion” of the “lawyer” approach!

The ice on Tracy's body began to melt, but the invisible spider silk still bound her tightly, making her unable to make any movement, even changing her center of gravity.

So she could only stand there, like a lifelike wax figure.

"He didn't kill me..." Tracy looked ahead blankly, and for a moment she was a little bit unbelieving.

She didn't think that Gehrman Sparrow didn't do it because he felt sorry for her. This crazy adventurer had killed many pirates and had never shown mercy. Although Tracy thought she was not a normal witch and had not done many things that could be called a witch, as a pirate, how could she not do bad things? Whether it was selling slaves or robbing ships, she was experienced.

Likewise, Tracy didn't think that Gehrman Sparrow was moved by her beauty and experience and coveted her, because his gaze was so cold that it was as if he was looking at a dead person.

"There must be other factors..." Tracy's thoughts raced, and she made associations based on things that might have happened to her. She soon came to a conclusion. "It's probably because my mother and I are too closely related by blood, and witches are good at cursing. Once I die, my mother will immediately notice that something is wrong and take precautions in advance, making it difficult for Gehrman Sparrow to find a target for his subsequent actions. That's why he kept me alive but unable to contact others... From this point of view, no matter whether his actions against my mother succeed or fail, he may come back to kill me... And if I want to survive, I must successfully save myself before that."

In Tracy's heart, she didn't actually have any deep feelings for her mother Katarina. This "ageless witch" had lived long enough, and most of the time she maintained a youthful mentality by interacting with young people. She would be enthusiastic about the children she occasionally gave birth to, for a period of time, but indifferent most of the time.

However, as she got older, Tracy was commented by Katharina as being more and more like her old self, so she received more love and help.

However, Tracy did not want this kind of attention, which caused her to lose her original gender and fall into inescapable pain.

"Huh... Even though I hate her and blame her, I still rely on her unconsciously and hope that she can respect my opinions more... I hope, I hope that she can escape Gehrman Sparrow's pursuit..." Tracy began to struggle again, trying to break free from the state of being restrained.

On the one hand, she was trying to save herself, and on the other hand, she wanted to inform her mother as soon as possible and tell her to be careful of Gehrman Sparrow!

Of course, Tracy was a little skeptical whether Gehrman Sparrow, who had just been promoted to Sequence 4 not long ago, could endanger her mother, a witch who survived the Fourth Epoch, and was known as "immortal". But she did not hold out for luck, because Gehrman Sparrow had a helper, the "Archon of Death" who even her mother feared!

thump!

Tracy finally fell to the floor and tried to roll toward the desk, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't turn her body.

What she is fighting against is not others, but herself who has been "distorted" and magnified!

…………

Above the gray fog, Klein had already sat on the high-backed chair of The Fool and placed the paper stained with the blood of Vice Admiral Disease Tracy on the surface of the mottled long table.

Then, he produced a pen and paper and wrote down the divination statement:

"The current location of 'Lieutenant General of Disease' Tracy's mother, Katarina."

Putting down the pen, Klein took the two pieces of paper, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and repeated the words he had just written in a low voice.

After repeating it seven times, he entered a dream and saw a tall Gothic clock tower emerging from the gray world.

Around the bell tower, Catalina, wearing a holy white robe, stood in the shadows of several houses, examining the surrounding situation with a slightly solemn expression, as if looking for something. The red moon was hanging high in the sky, and its position was exactly the same as what Klein saw before he entered the gray fog.

This means that the "White Witch" Katarina is still in Backlund, in the west area, chasing and searching for a certain target.
