As she spoke, Elaine's eyes turned slightly upwards, as if she was lost in memories:

"I first sold the steel and coal shipped from the west coast of the Interstellar Sea to Feynaport, and then brought the tobacco, coffee, cocoa and other specialties there back to Intis. This is a coastal route, which is relatively safe and the competition is very fierce. In order to get out of the predicament as soon as possible, I saved up capital while working hard to improve my sequence, hoping to do colonial trade.

"Unfortunately, I had just gotten familiar with the route and made a fortune, but on my second trip to West Balam, I was robbed by Tracy, who was then known as the 'Disease Girl' instead of the 'Vice Admiral of Disease'. She only had one ship at the time, but she was very powerful. My partners and I fought back desperately, but we were unable to save her.

"She didn't have the habit of killing people indiscriminately. She just robbed the goods, and, me..."

As expected of an outlier among witches... Klein listened quietly, used his clown ability to suppress his embarrassment, and asked expressionlessly:

"What stage have you reached?"

"No!" Elaine denied instinctively, "She forced me to do it! I, I don't want to die, I can only, I can only choose to bear it, and, and, she is a woman!"

Madam, don't react so violently. If I ask you whether you have had a relationship beyond friendship, won't you jump from here? I am a kind person. Considering your sense of shame, I am not so direct... Hey, under the mask of crazy Gehrman Sparrow is the gentleman me... This is the real me... Klein's expression did not change, and he asked:

"What cuisine do you prefer? Do you have any particular favorite dishes? Sweet, savory, or somewhere in between?

“What foods do you hate? What are you allergic to?

“Do you have a mouth quirk? If so, what is it?

“…”

These questions made Elaine feel like she was dreaming, they didn't seem real enough.

She never thought that the other party would ask similar questions, just like a suitor asking the object of his affection what his preferences are.

No, no suitor would ask this! This is all indirectly brought out in one chat after another, or inquired from other channels! No woman would like to be interrogated like this! This, this is more like the questionnaire invented by Emperor Roselle... What does he want to do? He asked these questions without any expression, I was scared... Elaine was silent for a few seconds, and answered one by one in Klein's cold eyes.

Klein remained leaning forward and continued to ask:

"How do you usually sit? Do you have any habitual movements..."

The more Elaine answered, the more panicked she became, and she inexplicably felt like she was going to disappear.

After finishing this confusing and frightening "questionnaire", she felt heavy in her heart and kept suspecting that she would end up badly.

Should she try her best and jump off the carriage when he wasn't paying attention? Elaine seriously considered this possibility.

However, the other party showed no signs of taking action, which made her unable to make up her mind and think that there was hope of a peaceful resolution of the matter.

After understanding Elaine's personality, habits, and hobbies, Klein turned the topic back to Lieutenant General Disease:

"What do you know about Tracy?"

Elaine fell silent and moved her mouth several times but was unable to speak.

The carriage drove for a long time, and she finally smiled bitterly:

“She has excellent fighting skills, is good at stealth and curses, and can turn invisible and become lightweight.

“She has mastered the mirror and wand substitution techniques, as well as black flame and frost. She can make enemies within a certain range suddenly sick, including colds, pneumonia, gastroenteritis, etc. The longer you fight her, the more serious the disease you get. Some Beyonders even die suddenly from heart attacks.

"She can also create invisible threads to control her enemies. She has a deep understanding of the human body and can easily make people happy through contact.

“She has the ability to actively charm, and many pirates even give up resistance in order to get close to her.

"She is usually quite friendly, but she is very cruel to her enemies. She likes to destroy the beauty that the other party wants to protect, making them suffer in extreme mental pain..."

Elaine did not specifically say how Tracy destroyed other people's happiness. There are many cruel stories and funny accidents. This "sick girl" once caused the enemy's father and son to kill each other, and also instigated an enemy's wife to betray him, allowing him to directly witness the scene.

As expected, she is a witch, a Sequence 5 Witch of Pain, one level higher than Pleasure... Klein roughly grasped Tracy's fighting style and asked again calmly:

"Does she have any magical items?"

"...Yes, it's a diamond bracelet. As long as Tracy wears it, it will be difficult for her to get hurt." Elaine hesitated but still told the secret of "Admiral Disease".

Klein asked a few more detailed questions and straightened his body a little:

"Tracy is assisting the Witch Cult in human trafficking?"

This was a question that had been on his mind ever since he heard about it from Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina.

The Witch Cult cooperated with Ince Zangwill, had connections with the royal family, and was involved in an underground ruin whose location was unknown;

Tracy is helping them with human trafficking;

Barron, who was pointed out by the "Hanged Man" as the director of many disappearances of slaves and the disappearance of primitive tribes in the southern continent, appeared in the upper level of the underground ruins;

The Beyonder guards around Capin, Backlund's largest human trafficker, belong to the "Arbitrator" path, which is controlled by the Loen Royal Family, the Feynapotter Royal Family, and the military of the two countries...

The things Klein knew formed a thread, but he had no idea what would be revealed. Lieutenant General of Disease Tracy was a breakthrough.

"What witch sect?" Elaine asked in confusion.

“You don’t need to know.” Klein responded calmly.

If you understand what a witch is, and suspect that the extremely charming "Lieutenant General of Disease" who brought you pleasure was once a dirty and barbaric man, I'm afraid you will lose control on the spot... You're welcome, I'm a good person... Klein complained in his heart.

Elaine suppressed her doubts and said, recalling:

"She did help transport several ships of slaves in the past year. The other party in the transaction was 'Mad Captain' Connors Victor. It is said that he has in-depth cooperation with many human traffickers and slave traders in Loen."

"Mad Captain" Connors Victor... Klein remembered this nickname and name.

He nodded, and asked in a softer voice instead of a deep one:

"Have you ever been involved in anything like that? Ever moonlighted as a pirate?"

This polite and friendly tone made Danitz, who was driving, shudder for no reason. He felt that Gehrman Sparrow in a similar state was more terrifying than being cold and expressionless.

"No." Elaine shook her head. "I have the blood of the Soran family. I will not bring shame to the family. And, Tracy always said that she would not let me be stained with blood or see the darkness. She will face all of this."

She must have read too many romance novels... Klein took out a gold coin and rolled it between his fingers, as if it was dancing.

He did not avoid Elaine, but performed a divination in front of her to confirm whether she was lying.

The answer is that the other party is quite honest.

This is also because I didn’t ask her specifically about her relationship with Tracy, otherwise she wouldn’t have been so frank... Klein sighed to himself and put away the gold coin.

At this time, the carriage also circled to the port, but it was no longer the location of the ship that Elaine had booked.

Klein looked at the scenery outside the window, took out a small metal bottle, handed it to Elaine and said:

"Use the ** in there to remove the makeup on your face."

"Why?" Elaine asked subconsciously.

“That’s not the question you should be asking.” Klein leaned forward again and said expressionlessly.

Elaine felt a little aggrieved and angry, but she didn't want to intensify the conflict with the other party at this critical moment, so she could only unscrew the bottle cap, smell it, and test whether it was toxic.

"Use it directly?" she asked.

Klein simply said "hmm".

Elaine took out a white handkerchief, poured the liquid in the metal bottle onto it, then wiped her face, quickly removing her previous disguise.

The neutral beauty disappeared, the facial lines became soft, and Elaine's original appearance appeared in Klein's eyes.

After looking carefully for a while, Klein said calmly:

"Take off your hat and let your hair down."

Elaine frowned suddenly, feeling that there would be orders that she couldn't accept, such as taking off her clothes.

She took a deep breath, took off her hat, and let down her red hair, suddenly looking very soft and beautiful.

Klein straightened his body, leaned back against the wall, and commanded in a normal tone:

"You can go back to your previous disguise."

Is this a lunatic? After all this trouble, we are back to square one? Elaine was angry but did not dare to speak out. She was afraid that the other party would make bad requests, so she quickly opened the suitcase, took out a mirror, and looked at herself.

It was removed so cleanly... She was stunned for a moment, then quickly put on makeup and styled her hair.

When the carriage stopped, she had transformed back into a handsome young man.

Klein nodded imperceptibly, turned his head to look out the window, and slowly said:

"One last question."

"What?" Elaine asked nervously.

Klein raised his eyes a little and his facial muscles twitched:

"How big are your breasts really?"

“…” Elaine was stunned at first, then her face flushed.

This was not the kind of blush you get when you're embarrassed, this was the kind of blush you get when you want to punch someone in the jaw.

Klein didn't evade his gaze and added calmly:

“This is an academic question.”

“…” Seeing that there was no lust in the other person’s eyes, Elaine took a breath, closed her eyes and answered the question.

Klein breathed a sigh of relief and took out a boat ticket and a stack of papers:

“New identification, boat ticket to the port of Tiana.

"When we get there, we can buy the one in Port Pritz."

Elaine looked at him warily, took the ticket and information, picked up the suitcase, carefully got off the carriage, and saw the ship she was going to take.

Klein followed behind her and watched her leave. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Danitz was having a hard time holding back his laughter.
