Captain – Chapter 664 – Secret Letter and Future

After confirming that she hadn’t slept for another year but had only been unconscious for several days, Roy changed her clothes and walked onto the deck with her first mate, coming to the very front of the giant ship.

As for her awakening, she figured it would spread quickly without needing to notify anyone.

“So you’re saying Captain Enzo is still alive?”

It was currently dusk. Caine looked at the girl’s profile, reddened by the warm setting sun, recalling what she had said along the way, and asked with somewhat complex emotions.

But among those emotions mixed with surprise and slight confusion, there was no longer any trace of hostility.

After traveling together through the Death Silence Triangle and learning how that most brilliant legend of the present world had perished, his impression of the man had changed considerably.

He began to truly understand the true face hidden behind the intelligence of this great pirate who had taken on the task of being Gerard Roy’s destined enemy and had opposed his father for decades.

So like Roy, Richi, and many others, he regretted the fall of such a figure, and was equally surprised to learn of his possible survival.

“I don’t know, Caine.”

Looking at the giant serpent’s remains that appeared dark and silent like actual terrain under the blood-red sunset, hearing her first mate’s question, Roy’s gaze seemed somewhat distant.

Although she had confirmed that the dream wasn’t false and that Enzo had indeed left clues, she still couldn’t determine his actual situation.

After all, in the dream, even he himself had no answer.

“He only told me that as long as I follow this wisp of night, I can find him and reach the end point, but the problem is, I’m not clear what he means by ‘end point.'”

Holding that moonstone pendant before her eyes, looking at the night color in its eye sockets that had replaced the ethereal light and seemed to hint at something, the girl spoke softly, her eyes showing even deeper confusion.

For Roy herself, the end point would naturally be Devil’s Island.

But since it was he who said this, she had to consider the possibility that the end point was that dead ghost.

But regardless of which, the captain found it hard to imagine Enzo’s current predicament, and was even more unwilling to think that he might have already become part of that ship of the dead.

“Since Captain Enzo said so, we’ll definitely see him. When we actually encounter the situation, we’ll just figure out how to bring him back.”

Guessing the girl’s worries, Caine comforted her, his words clearly showing a style very much like her consistent approach of dealing with things as they come, or rather, adapting to circumstances.

“Yeah, it’s just that there’s one more person to fish out.”

Hearing this, Roy put away the crystal skull, turned her gaze back, and smiled at her first mate.

Since truly awakening and then “emerging from the cocoon,” there were very few things in the world that could trouble her—dealing with the giant serpent was like this, and finding Enzo would be the same.

“But there’s one thing I can absolutely confirm.”

Saying this, Roy pushed against the ship’s rail, taking her first mate away from the bow to the side rail, looking toward the horizon in the direction of the present world, especially that low setting sun.

“What?”

Hearing this, Caine asked at the right moment.

He followed her gaze, but his attention was more drawn to the approaching ship shadow.

After several days of waiting, the Nightmare King, which had received Alfie’s message, had finally arrived.

“Well, it seems I—no, I should say I’ve definitely been played by someone again.”

The “someone” the girl referred to was naturally that former Great Captain who had completely reversed the situation in the Death Silence Triangle with just the single move of dispatching the Night Curtain captain.

In the past, she thought his choice of Enzo to bring her back to the islands was calculated on the basis that he would be persuaded by her, thus becoming a barrier to protect her from being devoured by the giant serpent, becoming the brilliant kindling to guide her awakening.

He had used everything about that night curtain to gamble on her fate and the future of the present world.

But now it seemed there were still hidden circumstances.

But why didn’t you say so? Were you too lazy to say, or were you also unable to confirm?

After speaking, Roy thought silently, and the resentment hidden in the deepest part of her heart seemed to fade somewhat.

But just as that night curtain had said, as long as she kept walking forward without looking back, she would eventually see all the scenery he had witnessed, and eventually know the whole truth.

If so, why bother with painful thoughts and worries?

Just keep walking.

Turning to pat her first mate’s shoulder, the girl said calmly: “Have everyone prepare. Once Richi and the others arrive, we’ll set off for the Cursed Sea.”

“The islands should already be taking action. We need to quicken our pace too.”

Recalling the meeting before leaving Providence, thinking that her father should have already received the secret letter and begun making arrangements, Caine nodded slightly and responded.

“Understood, Captain.”

Just as the girl had thought, several days ago, Victor, who had been continuously monitoring the movements of the two warships, had already witnessed through that square stone ring the scene of the thunder sea’s clouds dispersing and rain stopping, knowing that that unknown sea region had opened its doors.

So that very night, after meeting and conversing with “Black Rose” who had returned to the island as usual, two secret letters were sent through absolutely secret channels to the Empire and Federation respectively.

They finally landed in the hands of the Anderson family head and Governor Naren, who was patrolling the coast.

One night, at the Anderson family estate.

The mansion located in the deepest part remained much the same as every night over the past several hundred years—quiet and mysterious, with only a faint light seeping through the door crack of the third-floor office, carrying that family head’s casual yet still dignified questioning voice.

“What do you think about this matter, Theodore?”

By the steady candlelight, Mr. Rowell finished reading the thick letter, confirming he hadn’t missed any details, before handing it to the old butler before him.

After Theodore’s eyes quickly scanned the text and roughly confirmed what the family head meant by “this matter,” despite his excellent composure and having participated in countless major events alongside two generations of family heads, he still couldn’t help but be shocked and then tremble slightly.

Because this matter was too big—it could even be said to be the most important choice and opportunity the Anderson family had encountered in hundreds of years, and could possibly change the entire world situation.

“This, this… Master, forgive me for being unable to offer advice.”

The old butler was silent for a long time before finally calming down, returning the letter with trembling hands and speaking in a heavy voice, as if such a major matter was beyond even his qualification to comment on.

The family head seemed to have expected this, saying to himself: “I’m also very surprised, but what surprises me even more is that this decision came entirely from those young people’s hands, not from my old friend. Should I say it’s good that youth has such vigor?”

After speaking, Mr. Rowell slowly leaned back in his chair, contemplating for a long time the hidden meaning behind his old friend’s abdication a year ago and this letter before him.

Finally, this powerful old man rarely sighed, his words carrying heavy emotion: “The old era… or rather, the covenant is coming to an end.”

The last guardian of the law had abdicated. The newly appointed Great Captain, though personally selected by that person, had never undergone baptism, never received recognition from the old covenant’s leaders, and according to what the letter said, Roy’s expedition to the Cursed Sea.

All of this pointed to this conclusion.

Speaking of a brand new future.

From now on, all old matters would be swept away, power would be reshuffled, the present world would become very different, and civilization would inevitably become mainstream. The Anderson family naturally had to keep up.

Become the leader of this unstoppable great wave.

“Theodore, write a reply letter for me. Say that this matter… the family accepts it.”

After the old butler withdrew, Rowell lowered his eyes. After a long while, he snorted coldly and muttered to himself: “Looking at it now, your wild antics aren’t entirely without merit.”

“Just… don’t get yourself killed, or I’ll have to give you a brother.”

“Don.”
