“No, I will tell them to follow the crystal ball to find the map of destiny. Once they find the map, they can come back to me and I will tell them the next steps,” He Ya said, feeling the tightening grip around her neck.

“Then, will you get double the money?” Du Ge asked.

“There are a total of seven maps,” He Ya looked at Du Ge and forced a smile. “Each map costs 50 gold coins, so seven maps would be 350 gold coins. Once I have all seven maps, I can ask the Golden Compass. And then, I can pretend to look at the crystal ball and fleece the same person eight times…”

Give her the keywords of trade, and she can grow. She is too cunning.

Compared to her, the pirates are innocent lambs.

The most important thing is that as long as she knows the location of one map, she can easily deceive others without even needing divination.

Because when the person who has the map comes to her for divination, they will expose the map in their possession. She just needs to tell the second person who has the map…

Damn it!

She can also be a witch!

“Wait! Who do you work for?” Du Ge paused. “Who is your employer?”

To find the Golden Compass, they need the map of destiny.

He Ya’s actions were clearly a way to mobilize all the pirates to help her find the map of destiny.

In the end,

No matter who collects all the maps of destiny, they will come back to her…

“Mahamadu,” He Ya hesitated for a moment and said a name, a tear fell from the corner of her eye. “Mahamadu killed my mother. My mother was the real witch He Ya. He forced me to find the map of destiny for him. If I don’t obey his orders, he will kill me. And all the gold coins I earn through divination will be taken by him.

Sir, I am just a poor witch burdened with hatred. If you kill me or reveal my identity, Mahamadu will hunt you down. Let me go, and we can cooperate…”

“How can we cooperate?” Du Ge asked with interest.

“You have an unpredictable fate, powerful abilities, and keen observation skills. I believe only you can defeat Mahamadu and avenge my mother,” He Ya saw a glimmer of hope and lowered her voice. “If you are willing to avenge me, I can give you a share after collecting all the maps of destiny.”

“Didn’t Mahamadu assign someone to monitor you while searching for the Golden Compass?” Du Ge asked with a smile.

Affected by the person who extends a hand in friendship, He Ya forced a smile. “The maid outside who collects the money is Mahamadu’s person. She has strong combat skills and hands over the money to Mahamadu’s people every evening…”

“You care more about money than your mother, don’t you!” Du Ge let go of his grip on her neck and sneered.

The face of the young witch turned red. “So, do you agree to cooperate with me?”

“What is your name?” Du Ge asked.

“Marsha He Ya,” the witch said.

“I am Paul Walls from the Sea Fish Pirate Group,” Du Ge looked at her and introduced himself. “If you want to cooperate with me, you must join my pirate group.”

“So, you are the clown Paul,” the witch widened her eyes and looked at Paul in disbelief.

“Yes, that’s me,” Du Ge nodded. “Marsha He Ya, do you still want to join my pirate group now that you know my name?”

“Of course. If you were just an unknown person, I would inform Mahamadu as soon as you leave,” the young witch smiled and took out a vial of potion from the cupboard behind her. She drank it in one gulp.

Then,

She wiped off the bloodstains from her mouth, and her pale face visibly regained its color. “But if you are Paul, we can indeed cooperate. However, I cannot leave the witch’s hut. If I leave here, Mahamadu’s people will hunt me down.”

“Every person who joins my pirate group must have a fish name as a suffix to their name. It is our symbol and our belief,” Du Ge looked at the witch and said with a smile.

The witch didn’t find any problem with this condition and looked at Du Ge. She readily agreed, “I can add a butterfly fish suffix to my name.”

“Marsha He Ya Butterfly Fish,” Du Ge looked at the witch and confirmed.

“Yes, Marsha He Ya Butterfly Fish. I think the butterfly fish is beautiful and suits my temperament,” the witch smiled. “Paul, I have to say, you are a very special person. Everyone else is concerned about the Sea God’s Scepter, but only after you arrived here, you care about some trivial matters.”

“Are there many special people like me these days? People who come to ask you some special questions?” Du Ge asked.

“Only you, everyone else comes to ask about information on the Sea God’s Scepter,” the witch sat back behind the table, covered her head with a black robe, and changed her voice to a hoarse tone. “Paul, I need to remind you that you have three minutes left. If you have any plans, it’s best to say them quickly. After three minutes, if you haven’t left, the maid outside will come in to check.”

As she spoke,

She placed the shattered crystal ball under the table and replaced it with a new one.

Du Ge looked at the witch, remained silent for a moment, then suddenly grabbed her arm, exerted force, and pulled her out from behind the table. “Marsha, come with me!”

Ah!

Caught off guard, He Ya exclaimed, “What are you trying to do?”

“Butterfly Fish, why should I wait for you to collect all the maps of destiny before coming back to find you? That’s too passive,” Du Ge smiled and lightly touched her face, whispering, “I don’t know if Mahamadu or Saffra Kaniel is behind you. It takes too much time to figure out the truth. But as long as I take you away, those who are searching for the maps of destiny will naturally come to us. Butterfly Fish, I like to hold my own destiny…”

“Are you crazy? If you take me away, not only will Mahamadu chase after you, but other pirates who want to find the Sea God’s Scepter will also hunt you down,” He Ya exclaimed. “If I had known you were such a madman, I wouldn’t have agreed to cooperate with you.””It’s already late, from now on, you’d better not speak.”

Du Ge laughed heartily, swiftly untied He Ya’s belt, bound her arms behind her back, and from a nearby rack, he pulled down a brand-new black robe, wrapping up the crystal ball on the table and all the bottles and jars in the cupboard.

Then.

Ignoring the witch’s struggle, Du Ge hoisted her onto his shoulder, slipped out the small door, and strode away.

One event led to another.

You never know who’s telling the truth and who’s lying…

Everyone is like a riddle.

Du Ge was really getting a bit fed up.

After all.

When pirates go to war, it’s a blaze of gunfire.

It’s not easy for him to find joy on the battlefield, if he continues, his ranking will only fall further behind, but kidnapping the key character of the storyline – the witch He Ya, is a different story.

Those examinees and pirates who haven’t gotten any clues yet, if they want to know the clues, they must come to him, then, he will have more room to maneuver…

Moreover.

With the witch He Ya in hand, others would hesitate to attack him.

When the time comes, he ties the witch on the deck, who dares to fire at his ship?

Regardless of his ranking, he will go to the Alien Star Battlefield, so let the low-profile go to hell!

Between the map of destiny and the golden compass, the main storyline is too complicated, he would be sent running around the world.

There’s not a soul on the sea, how is he supposed to grow his attributes, by constantly fishing in the sea?

If he continues to be led by the nose by fate.

He would suffocate…

Worst comes to worst, he’ll end this Simulation Field, let Nan Youlong open another one for him, what he really needs is the skill reward of the second Keyword, not some damn role-playing experience of the Keyword…
