Chapter 3945 Let's Go! (Sing together!)
"...Well then, it will still be a pleasure to cooperate this time, Ms. Black Cat."
The man before me is a well-known slave trader in the city of Rogue, named Tynan—who is also the target of Miss Witch's sale this time.
This wasn't the first time Miss Witch had done similar business with them—in general, she, as the "Black Cat" lady (the great pirate), had only been in contact with "Tainan" about sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, or nineteen times!
Of course, Tainan wasn't the only slave trader in Rogge City capable of consuming an entire flagship of the Tiannan family's merchant caravan... There was another reason for seeking out Tainan this time.
Besides being a successful slave trader, this guy also dabbles in the materials business, and the quality is quite reliable.
Having just acquired (or stolen) a piece of Shadow Mithril, the witch plans to use it to create a brand new puppet.
She was really looking forward to seeing this magical puppet, [Star Creation], possess such a special ability.
"Ms. Black Cat, I'm so sorry, but I'm out of stock of the [ZP] alloy you requested... How about you take a look at this similar alloy? Although it's a bit weaker, its ductility is better than [ZP]..."
"No stock?" The witch frowned. "Boss, this isn't the first time we've done business together. If you don't have the goods, you can go to the market to buy them. I'm too lazy to bother finding them myself. I'll just charge you the handling fee."
【Tainan】shaked her head and said, "【Black Cat】madam, I'm afraid there isn't even a single gram of 【ZP】alloy left in the entire 【Rog】city. It's all been snapped up."
The female demon's gaze faltered slightly, and she subconsciously said, "Who is it that swept up all the [ZP] alloy here in one go... Are people hoarding this stuff to drive up the price?"
"Well, I can't really say," [Thai Nan] said with a chuckle, his hands tucked into his sleeves.
The witch smiled and said, "This, and this, including this, give me five of each... Boss, can you tell me why? You know, in our line of work, intelligence is very important~"
"That's you!" [Thai Nan] chuckled, then leaned closer. "I only heard about it, the news isn't guaranteed... Someone saw someone who came out to buy [ZP] enter and leave the [Armed Hall]!"
"【Armed Hall】..."
……
"You're out. What's wrong? You don't seem very happy. Didn't you buy the materials you needed?"
Xiao Meng blinked her beautiful red eyes.
"Don't even mention it, there's one important material that's out of stock." The witch shook her head, then seemed to have put the matter out of her mind. "Let's find a place to stay first. I know a nice inn nearby."
“Okay.” Xiao Meng smiled and followed the witch with her hands behind her back, curiously looking at everything in [Rogue] City.
……
“Master, that lady [Black Cat] should have left.”
In the office upstairs in the shop, Tainan, one of the largest slave traders in the area, was leisurely cutting a cigar—a very rare variety.
It requires the hair of a girl of a certain race, collected before she reaches adulthood, to be rolled and made. When burned, it produces a special fragrance.
"What 'black cat' and 'white cat'... that's the 'Star Witch'," Tainan said calmly.
The servant... The servant was a handsome man with two short black horns, dressed in standard butler's attire... a demon of considerable blood.
"She's that legendary pirate?" The demon deacon's expression hardened slightly. "But how could she..."
[Thailand] shrugged and said, "Don't ask why. Just know that I know who she is, and she knows that I know who she is... As long as we maintain this tacit understanding, that's fine."
The demon deacon nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Master, what should we do with the slaves and spaceships we retrieved from Lady Black Cat this time?"
“Let’s ship the spaceship as usual.” [Tainan] thought for a moment and said, “As for the slaves… go and take a count, see if anyone has seen Lady [Black Cat], and give them a dose of [Amnesia] potion. The quality of this batch is not bad, there is also a [Morning Star] five-star immortal among them. After training them, send them directly to the auction house. A flagship captain should fetch a good price.”
“Okay.” The demon deacon turned and left.
In the office, [Tainan] leisurely puffed on a cigar, the smoke filling the air. His eyes were slightly narrowed as he muttered to himself, "[ZP] alloy is currently only available in [Armed Hall]. So, will you go... Witch?"
……
……
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high. Some people were eating apples, while others quietly slipped out of the hotel.
The witch glanced at a room upstairs in the hotel and muttered, "I didn't realize that someone as beautiful as her could bring down a nation could sleep like such a mess."
Currently, the witch won't interfere too much with Xiaomeng... everything will have to wait until the next cooldown of [Winning Every Bet] before anything else happens.
Of course, the witch wouldn't be completely unprepared for this princess who lays golden eggs... She had secretly deployed at least a dozen [Star Creation] creations around her to protect (monitor) her.
Xiaomeng's clothes had one of the buttons replaced.
She hurried toward the headquarters of the pirate alliance.
……
The Armed Hall, a place where the pirate captains of Zhang Bolu usually check in, almost controls all the armed forces in the entire Freedom and Wildness Gorge, as well as all facilities related to armed forces.
She was still very concerned about the large-scale purchase of ZP alloy by the Armed Hall—not only was it expensive, but it also had very few applications.
Since the Armory Hall controls all the alloys on the market, it must have a place to store them. Going directly to the Armory Hall's council chamber is not very meaningful. Therefore, the witch's main purpose for this trip is to a warehouse somewhere in the Alliance headquarters.
Of course, Miss Witch didn't expect to just stumble upon it in any random warehouse... she planned to search slowly over the next few days.
She doesn't need much ZP alloy. Since the Armed Hall has swept up the entire market share... it's not unreasonable for her to take a few tons, is it?
The warehouse she was approaching was heavily guarded... Far from being annoyed, the witch was secretly delighted, which meant there must be a lot of valuable things inside.
but……
This is, after all, Zhang Bolu's territory.
Miss Witch took a deep breath, resolutely slipped inside, and immediately hid in a shadow, casually scattering a handful of dust on the ground.
Each speck of dust is a tiny, temporary life form, drifting with the wind and perfectly blending into the dust in the air.
Through the power of [Star Creation], the dust particles quickly formed a three-dimensional map of the warehouse in the witch's mind, much like magnetic powder, and could even mark the moving units within the warehouse.
No one would care about getting covered in dust.
Miss Witch's luck seems to have really returned... The entire process of sneaking into the supply storage room went as smoothly as entering a slippery tunnel.
Unfortunately, the [ZP] alloy was not found.
This warehouse simply stores some strange and unusual things that pirate groups usually plunder... but there are also some good items among them.
"Holy crap, such a huge pile of [Heavenly Treasure Coral], just left here like that?"
A coral reef, at least two meters tall, lay quietly in the corner of the storage room... The witch's eyes were immediately fixed on it.
"Damn it, Zhang Bolu! You're way too rich!"
The witch instinctively reached out her hand towards the coral reef—but her other hand covered her eyes.
"No, I can't! I only want [ZP] alloy! You wretched [Heavenly Treasure Coral], don't try to tempt me!"
Reach out... withdraw... reach out... withdraw... reach out...
"Taking just a tiny bit shouldn't be a big deal, right?"
"Since I've already taken the [Heavenly Treasure Coral], how about... I get this [Battle Core] too? There's a whole box of them anyway, so if I'm missing three, four, five, six, seven, or eight, no one will care!"
"Oh! Were you waiting for me here? I recognized you at first glance, [Thunder Unicorn]! What a coincidence!"
The witch picked up a perfectly round, purple object and pressed it against her face, admiring it dearly. "It feels so tingly and numb, such a wonderful little thing! Mommy loves you to death~"
——At this moment.
"Did you hear anything?"
Suddenly, a sound came from the three-dimensional map of the dust particles... The witch narrowed her eyes instantly, trying her best to conceal all her fluctuations.
On the map, a bright red dot can be seen, which has now moved to the outside of the storage room—at the same time, there are more than a dozen pale yellow dots around it.
……
Outside the door, guarding the storage room, the warrior "Brother Ni" in his armor stood tall.
The person before me is a member of a squad under Lord Falgaro of the Armed Hall... and also a formal member of the Pirate King's ship. He is a powerful figure who can trample on the heads of the highest-ranking royalty of the Nigo aliens in the Gorge of Freedom and Wildness!
"Lord Far, we didn't hear anything!" Warrior [Ni Ge] shouted back immediately.
"Open the door!" the newcomer commanded directly from Far.
"As ordered!"
The door to the storage room slowly opened, and a wisp of cold air naturally wafted out... Then, Far, expressionless, led two attendants into the storage room.
The remaining followers stood guard outside the gate with the [Brother Ni] warriors.
Inside the storage room, only the sound of a few footsteps could be heard... Far's gaze swept around the room, but there was nothing unusual.
Finally, Far stopped in front of an ancient stone statue and looked up at it.
Seeing this, a follower beside him chuckled and said, "This statue of a deity must be what Lord Fal transformed into when he killed a deity from the [Magic Side], right? As expected of Lord Fal! But I don't understand, why did you leave this trophy in the warehouse? It should be displayed in your home to showcase your achievements!"
Far said calmly, "A mere weak god's power, displayed at home? Are you trying to make me a laughingstock?"
...Keep bragging. Back then, you almost capsized against that mere weak god, okay? In the end, wasn't it Lord Falgar Law who covered for you?
"I want this guy to be covered in dust and cobwebs in this dark corner... The so-called glory of the gods? Heh, you only deserve this kind of treatment."
“That’s right! What a piece of trash, it should stay in a place like this!” the attendant quickly replied.
Fargaro finally turned his gaze away from the stone statue. "There shouldn't be any problems here. Let's go. Today we're transporting the last batch of [ZP] alloy. Lord Fargaro takes this matter very seriously, so we can't afford any mistakes."
"My lord, we've already bought up all the alloys on the market... but I heard that the quantity is still not enough?" the attendant whispered. "I heard that the lord of the Tenth Division even argued with our Lord Falgaro about this... is that true?"
"Hmph!" Fargaro sneered, "That Frank guy, he just relies on his inventive skills and ability to please the King to dare to boss around our Third Division? It's only because Lord Fargaro has a good temper that I wasn't in the Armed Forces Hall that day that I would have beaten Frank to a pulp!"
"That's right!" the attendant slapped his thigh. "When it comes to combat strength, our third team is definitely the strongest!"
The three walked and talked, and soon left the storage room... and closed the door to the storage room again.
In the dark storage room, the witch mysteriously emerged from the floor, casually opened the [Star Creation] Realm, threw in the last statue of the weak god, and then stroked her chin thoughtfully.
"So it was the alloy that madman from the 10th Division wanted... Could this be related to Zhang Bolu gathering pirates?"
……
……
Fal was heading to the place where the alloy was being transported, which turned out to be the mansion where the third team captain, Falgaro, lived—however, he entered through the back door.
In fact, Fal didn't see Falgaro at all, but only the butler of Falgaro's mansion—a butler in name, but actually a vice-captain of the Third Division. For some reason, however, this vice-captain had always been acting as Falgaro's butler.
“Lord Tomkins!” Far bowed slightly. “I’m here to deliver goods to the 10th Division’s base.”
"Oh, it's you today, Farrell." Butler Tomkins smiled slightly... He looked like a kind-faced, slightly overweight middle-aged man.
“Yes, it’s my turn to be on duty today.” Fal nodded. “By the way, where is Lord Falgaro?”
"Blackbeard's ship has arrived," Tomkins said with a smile. "The lord has gone to greet him. Do you need to speak with the lord?"
"No!" Falgar Law quickly replied, "I just didn't expect the legendary Blackbeard to arrive so soon... Lord Falgar Law has really been working hard these past few days!"
"The goods are over there." Butler Tomkins seemed reluctant to elaborate, pointing to a room nearby. "This is the last batch we've procured. Take it to Lord Frank. Remember, once you get there, no matter what they say, just tell them that everything must be reported to Lord Falgarro before we can give a reply."
“…Okay.” Far nodded.
Tomkins, the butler, smiled slightly, then stepped forward and gently patted Farr on the shoulder.
"What...what's wrong, Lord Tomkins?"
"It's nothing, just a little dirty." Butler Tomkins immediately withdrew his hand, rubbed his fingers together, glanced down, and then said with a smile, "Get to work, don't keep Lord Frank waiting."
"Okay...ok."
……
"Damn... this old man's perception is as sharp as ever, he almost got caught?"
The Falgarro mansion... is located in an alleyway a few streets away.
The witch leaned against the wall and chuckled softly, "Old man, you got some of my dust on you... be careful not to get yourself into trouble! But... it seems like Falgaro really isn't home right now?"
Emmmm…
"How about... we go... take a look?"
The witch winked cleverly.
—Let's go as soon as we say we'll go, and plunder the whole land in a whirlwind!
