The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

In the small cabin, Joyce was lying alone on the bed, staring at the ceiling "so close", feeling a little uncomfortable for a moment.

However, I always slept on a hard bed in my previous life... The aristocratic life after time travel must have corrupted me...

He was passing the time with his funny self-justifications.

Today is the 22nd, and it takes three days to reach the secret island mentioned by Roy, so I will definitely not be able to return to Bayam on the 28th... Fortunately, I brought these "small hopes" with me, and he took the photo

Take a picture of the suitcase next to you and praise yourself for your wit.

After a while, Mr. Hunter opened the door and entered the cabin.

Joyce immediately sat up and asked: "Is there anything gained?"

In order not to arouse suspicion, the two people chose to go out separately to inquire about the information, so that they would not appear so abrupt.

Mr. Hunter nodded: "Yes, that 'eye' is very useful."

"Time was limited, so I didn't dare to make too many moves. I only asked two sailors, but I also got a lot of information."

Then, he began to talk: "Captain Roy likes to manipulate flames most when fighting. He is good at setting traps and angering enemies. He is basically an 'arsonist' in Sequence 7 of the Hunter Path."

"The first mate has no special magical abilities. He is just very strong and good at using a variety of weapons. It is common for one to fight against many. It is doubtful whether he is an extraordinary person."

"The second mate's combat effectiveness is not strong, at least far from that of the first mate, but he has an intuition that can simply avoid risks, and he can also hide mysteriously and perform some strange rituals. There is a high probability that he is an extraordinary person."

"The first mate and the second mate looked down upon each other, and Captain Roy stood by and did nothing, so that the lowest level of sailors also divided into two camps..."

Sure enough, the "Hunter" is the master of intelligence... Listening to Mr. Hunter's methodical story, Joyce couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"A small pirate ship cannot be made so complicated, but it also has checks and balances!"

"The captain and the second mate obviously have a deeper friendship, but Roy doesn't want to help either and deliberately remains neutral. There is probably only one reason: he doesn't dare to kill, or he has scruples and doesn't want to openly target the first mate, so he can only

Secretly ordering the second officer to turn against him..."

"Although pirates do whatever they want, a captain will never allow his first mate to harbor evil intentions..."

He made many guesses, but quickly overturned them one by one... Before Joyce could figure out the reason, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

The two looked at each other, and Mr. Hunter asked in a deep voice:

"who?"

The person outside the door replied: "The first mate of the ship."

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here...Joyce stepped forward to open the door and invited this burly man who came to visit hastily into the cabin.

"Are you getting used to living there? If you get seasick, I have special medicine here, which is very effective."

Faced with the first mate's enthusiastic greetings, Mr. Hunter coldly refused to respond and asked straight to the point:

"You have something to do with us?"

The smile on the first mate's face froze for a second, and then he slowly took it back, thinking: Why are these two groups so difficult to get along with each other?

He asked frankly: "I want to know where Captain Roy invited you to board the ship and what are you going to do?"

"You're not the first mate! Why didn't Captain Roy tell you?"

Joyce asked in a surprised tone, and then he was glanced at by Mr. Hunter's stern eyes, and he consciously closed his mouth.

The first mate took note of the performance of the two men and said with a smile: "This little brother asked a very good question."

"It's just that our captain is quite suspicious and always likes to tell us the details at the last moment of the operation. But this time I have an uncomfortable feeling, so I came to find out in advance..."

This first mate is a "warrior" in sequence nine of the God of War pathway. The reason why he can become the first mate on this ship is because he is a loyal subordinate brought by "Vice Admiral Dusk" from Fusac.

"Vice Admiral Dusk" has always distrusted members who joined the pirate group after becoming famous, so he sent the Extraordinaries on his main ship to various subsidiary ships, which not only strengthened the combat effectiveness, but also ensured that they would not betray easily.

However, the first mate clearly felt the strange atmosphere on the ship recently.

Captain Roy applied to Bayam to purchase new ships and recruit sailors. This behavior seemed normal, but he stayed here for too long... During this time, the second officer's attitude towards him softened, but

There was no warning... More importantly, the ship did not sail towards the planned location, but chose an unfamiliar channel...

These factors combined together led him to a shocking conclusion: Roy wanted to break away, or even betray "Vice Admiral Twilight".

The reason why I am not sure is very simple, because he is still alive...

Mr. Hunter was silent for a long time and did not answer directly, but he did not refuse either. Instead, he asked:

"You didn't get an answer from the Siren?"

The first mate answered honestly: "He's sleeping."

Sleep... He's so generous. He's not defensive at all on a strange pirate ship... Joyce couldn't help but admire his mentality.

Mr. Hunter was also stunned for a second, then noticed Joyce's hint and replied seriously:

"Roy invited us to explore a secret island. According to him, there is a lot of treasure on the island."

Secret island, treasure... the first mate's mind raced quickly, and he smiled: "Thank you for letting me know, then I won't disturb your rest."

He stood up straight, almost touching the wooden planks of the cabin, turned around and prepared to leave.

But I heard Joyce suddenly ask: "Is there any 'entertainment' on the ship? You know, I haven't played for a few days, and my hands are a little itchy..."

The first mate paused, restrained his inner surprise, and said with a hearty smile:

"Of course, little brother, let's play a few games together?"

"Okay." Joyce stood up happily.

The two hit it off right away, but they had their own thoughts. They chatted happily and walked into the sailors' gathering area.

The ship has started to sail normally, and most of the sailors have taken some time off and gathered together to chat. One of them talked about how much money he won at the Gold Coin Casino, and the other started to brag about finding good stuff at the Red Theater...

The first mate led Joyce and introduced to everyone:

"This is Bruce. He wants to find some brothers to bet on. Do you want to compare notes?"

"Come on! Who is afraid of whom?"

"Let me come and see if I can win over his underwear!"

…………

The sailors were eager to give it a try, and the first mate turned around and explained: "That's what pirates are like. They stay at sea for a long time without any means of entertainment, and they will always develop this kind of character."

Joyce said curiously: "I think you are very polite."

"That's because I just left the land and I can still control myself..." The first mate smiled and then asked: "Playing dice or cards?"

"Just roll the dice, it's simple and convenient."

Joyce was "excited" to join the "battlefield."
