The pirates queued before Duge, one by one, entered the witch's hut and came out one by one.
Not a single sound was heard.
Duge's hearing range of fifty meters also failed him; he couldn't catch any sound from inside the witch's hut.
It must be said,
the witch's magic truly had some substance to it.
About an hour later, it was finally Duge's turn. He gave Vito a signal with his eyes and stepped into the witch's hut.
The hut was gloomy, illuminated only by a few candles, and the air was filled with a faint scent of medicinal herbs.
"Sir, you need to pay 10 Gold Coins to enter," a veiled maidservant barred Duge's way, her hands holding a tray, "Fortune-telling will cost 40 Gold Coins," she said, her voice devoid of any emotion.
Damn it!
50 Gold Coins!
Ten pirates in one hour, that's five hundred Gold Coins, and ten working hours a day adds up to five thousand Gold Coins. In sixteen days, it would match the amount of his bounty.
This was practically daylight robbery.
