The Turning Gears Chapter 35: The Ghost Ship (1)

"Huh?" Lin Moyang frowned after hearing this. Although Liliel loves to drive in front of him, this blood woman has one thing that is very worthy of Lin Moyang's affirmation, that is, once things get a little bad, she will definitely not joke, and when she is joking, this woman also feels that she will not lie about the military situation. So if this woman says that there is any bad sign, it is definitely not a lie.

And in the past few days, Lin Moyang also knows what the principle of Fenglong's seal is, this seal suppresses the blood curse in Liliel's body and the physical mutation ability brought by the curse, but this is only suppression, not to turn Liliel into a real human, although she has recently been infinitely close to humans in terms of physique and ability, and even personality, but she is not a human after all, her body should be said to be between humans and blood clans, and some characteristics of dream demons.

According to Liliel, she has never been a human, and even before she was transformed, she was just a dream demon, which means that no matter how the blood curse is lifted, there should not be such a humanization change, and the only possibility is that the seal of the bladed dragon is suppressed along with the essence of her dream demon, and then the appearance is like this.

Of course, Liliel claims to miss the tail she had before she was transformed, and it's very useful. Lin Moyang didn't want to delve into where the tail was useful, but one thing was certain, her body was still a non-human body, so this body had a particularly strong sixth sense of malice or danger.

"In that water, there is something particularly cold, very dark, and it is still rising rapidly. Liliel pointed to the undercurrent, where the Breakers had grabbed the wreck.

Green and Taylor glanced at each other, they were also used to this blood girl being coquettish to His Excellency Lin Moyang every day in the past few days, and they generally ignored it as if it had not happened, but who knew that they could hear such a powerful news today.

Taylor immediately spoke: "Captain Wei, stop your salvage process immediately, there is something wrong with this wreck. ”

Captain Wei asked with some curiosity, "What?"

Taylor immediately told Captain Wei about Liliel's perception, and Captain Wei knew that something was wrong, and he replied, "Is the perception accurate? Why do you feel this way? Does that Lady of the Bloods still have this ability?"

Captain Wei was a seabreaker who grew up in Atlantis, and there were no Bloods running around in the sea, he had only learned from books, and the Bloodlines were powerful, proficient in all kinds of magic, afraid of the sun, and fed on human blood. In other words, for the Blood Clan, he is a sea breaker who lives on a ship all the year round, and the Blood Clan who can't cross the flowing water is an existence that can't be beaten by eight poles, and he doesn't know what kind of abilities the Blood Clan has. At least in the past few days, the blood clan is not only not afraid of the sun, but even likes to sunbathe, and does not tan, in terms of food, they prefer grilled fish and steamed fish, and the braised fish is also good.

"Absolutely. Taylor replied affirmatively, even if this blood clan is joking, they will never lie to His Excellency Lin Moyang, although I don't know what the relationship between her and Lin Moyang is, but this blood clan seems to care about Lin Moyang very much, and has never lied to Lin Moyang.

"But it was too late, the wreck was already very close to the water, less than two hundred meters. Captain Wei smiled bitterly, even if they stopped casting spells now, the ocean currents caused would not stop immediately, and the wreck would still be sent to the surface.

Hearing this, Taylor first glanced at the crowd, and the girl ran to the side of the boat first, looking at the surging ocean. As the tide surged, a huge shadow appeared beneath the surface of the sea, where the sunlight could see a little. Before the object was out of the water, its sheer size had already cast a shadow over the surrounding sea.

"Get ready to get out of the water! Drake! Fix the current! Fix this ship to the surface!" Captain Wei also immediately decided, now that they already knew that the wreck was strange, and in the middle of the sea, they had not dealt with the cursed ship.

Three members of the Sword of Damocles, plus a Blood swimsuit prisoner who didn't want to run away at all, all four walked to the side of the boat and looked out over the ocean.

The surging current suddenly rose into the sky, and a cold, cold smell first tore through the water and emitted it, and then the sky-rushing current fell back to the surface, stirring up violent waves that shook the Wave Breaker where the four men were located.

Lin Moyang secretly screamed badly, the feeling of dizziness returned, and he almost wanted to scold. But his nausea didn't last long, and he was drawn to the scene in front of him.

It was a soaring metal wall, slicing through the raging sea with a splash of water, and emerged from the water with a mighty underwater.

The sea water continued to leak out of the cracks in the metal wall, carrying with it some small fish that had accidentally swam into the hull. At this time, the silent shipwreck revealed its true face of Lushan, Lin Moyang was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the metal wall he saw now was the bottom of the ship.

"Bring the boat over, let's catch a big fish!" Captain Wei's trident waved in the air, and the conductor of the seabreakers was like the conductor of an orchestra, and with the movement of the leader's trident, the seabreakers tacitly changed the content of the chant.

An ocean current rose out of thin air from the water on the side of the steel ship, and this heavy human creation, under Lin Moyang's horrified gaze, was gradually flipped by the ocean current, first the 6-story pure white superstructure, and then the huge gap in the hull.

The Wavebreaker is a wooden sailboat capable of accommodating about 100 people, but now it does not even carry half of the passengers on the Wavebreaker, and even then, the Wavebreaker is still a galleon with a length of 30 meters. But in front of this steel behemoth, the Wave Breaker is like a speedboat that can't hold back the wind. The huge hull slowly flipped in the sea, and the sailors let out an exclamation. It was rare for them to see such a thing sunk at the bottom of the sea, and the passenger ship was more than twice the length of the Wave Breaker, and the wind and waves it brought up when it flipped in the sea could make the Wave Breaker who was protected by the currents sway in the waves.

Finally, the passenger ship was forcibly flipped by the current, and countless columns of water shot out of the ship, the ship was already filled with water at the bottom of the sea, and the sea breakers were using the spell of the ocean to drain the sea water from the huge ship little by little. As the water jets continued to erupt, the ship gradually rose above the water, revealing a mottled hull and a broken upper cabin.

"My good man, what a big fish, this passenger ship has a capacity of almost a thousand people, right?" Captain Wei looked at the huge artifact in amazement, and he pulled it out of his bosom twice before realizing that his pipe was still in the pocket of his coat.

The passenger ship floated on the sea again, but its hull was covered with devastation, and a hole in the side with a diameter of nearly 10 meters tore through the thick hull, and Lin Moyang and others could even see the hull compartment inside the hull from this hole.

Captain Wei looked at this hole and sighed uncomfortably, the sea breakers live on the ship, it can be said that the ship is their second home, and now seeing such a scene touches their hearts as much as seeing their own family destroyed.

A blue halo enveloped the broken passenger ship, allowing it to float on the surface like a normal ship, otherwise the large hole in the hull would have been enough to sink the ship into the pitch black ocean again.

"Captain, it's fixed. The sailors reported that it appeared that the blue halo that held the passenger ship like foam had come from the seabreakers.

Standing on the deck of the Sea Breaker, the group looked at the hull of the passenger ship from afar, and a sense of coldness and crisis somehow, at the same time, floated to the hearts of the new generation of the three round table councils, and the three of them looked at each other tacitly. E-book house

The wrecked passenger ship now floats alone on the sea like a ghost ship, and the once lively passenger ship is now floating on the endless sea, as silent as death.

Lin can imagine tourists walking through the corridors on deck, walking towards the ship's restaurant to enjoy a meal, or greeting each other with their brief neighbors. But now, the passenger ship is nothing more than a ghost of its former glory, forcibly lifted up again from the lonely depths of the sea by the seabreakers.

"It's not normal. Captain Wei took a puff of his pipe, exhaling a solemn white mist, his radiant brow now full of solemnity.

"The sea will accept all the creatures that return to her bosom, and no resentment or longing can fill the bosom of the sea, so the seabreakers know that there are very few ghosts and ghosts in wrecked ships in the sea. But this ship, just looking at it can make people stand up a chill. Captain Wei's eyes twinkled, and the captain was now like a seagull perched on a mast, but his swarthy face was clearly full of worry.

"Isn't there a legend like a ghost ship?" Lin Moyang was shocked by this strange and eerie ghost ship, even in the bright sun, this ship was full of mystery and gloom.

"Yes, there are legends of ghost ships, such as ships floating in the sea but there is no one on them, or in the fog of the sky, observing ships that should have disintegrated or sunk in the ocean. These are the legends of the ghost ship, but in fact, the so-called ghost ship is actually ......" Captain Wei took a puff of his pipe, and then he suddenly turned to Taylor and said, "Do you know this lady?"

Taylor nodded, she took Captain Wei's words and said: "Undead creatures are a fantasy species that is extremely difficult to produce naturally, in recent years, there are almost no naturally occurring undead creatures, the so-called ghost ships, a small number of unmanned ships that have lost their crews but have not been silent, and thus drifted with the wind, and most of them are the handiwork of sea breakers. ”

"Yes, the Seabreakers don't have a shipbuilding base, so the Seabreakers always search the seas for sunken ships or wandering unmanned ghost ships, and when we find them, we raise them to the surface and let them float in the currents to the nearest Seabreaker base to use and repair them. This is how most of the ships of the Seabreakers came. Captain Wei nodded in acknowledgement, but his eyes didn't take off the ghost ship in front of him for a moment.

Lin Moyang only then understood why this group of sailors was so happy when they heard that there was a shipwreck. Because these guys are really picking up scraps in the sea, not only using old fish as food, but even salvaging sunken ships to repair and reuse.

"Is it any wonder that someone saw a long-sunken ship reappear on the sea, meaning they accidentally encountered the ships of the Sea Breakers?" said Lin Moyang in surprise.

"Yes, the voyage of the Seabreaker is not limited by ocean currents, so most of our routes do not intersect with the usual routes of ordinary ships, but occasionally ordinary ships deviate from their course in extreme weather and are unlucky to encounter Seabreakers' ships. Captain Wei nodded in acknowledgement.

"There are also ghost ships that have been left unmanned after storms, pirates, or even murders, and when discovered by the Sea Breakers, if they can find the ship's original country, the Sea Breakers will send them home by the currents. "We only repair ships that are confirmed to be sunk, or ships that the seabreakers can't discern the country." The Wave Breaker is a remodeled from a very old shipwreck. ”

"The Wavebreaker's ship spans a lot, there are wooden sailboats, and we don't have enough resources to repair every steel ship we find until the Round Table provides enough resources, we used a cargo ship called the Baychimo to trade with the Inuit, and then the ship was seen so many times that we had no choice but to trade with another ship, which is why the outside world has not seen the ship since 1969, because we moved the ship to the Antarctic route。 ”

Lin Moyang thought with black lines on his head, big brother, can't you sea-breakers do some normal things? You guys are running around with the wreck you have scooped up, and you are all scared crazy by your ghost ship outside, okay?

"So, is there really a Flying Dutchman?" asked Lin Moyang with a little confusion, if you want to talk about the ghost ship, this ghost ship is more famous than anything else, and has even been made into a story and an opera.

"Of course, this ship has been in service for hundreds of years, but as the story seems to be a little strange, it is indeed one of the oldest famous ships in the fleet of the Sea Breakers, and it has been seen many times, and it is rumored to be the Flying Dutchman, and its name among the Sea Breakers is the Cape of Good Hope, because we salvaged it at the Cape of Good Hope, and it has been sailing the waters near the Cape of Good Hope for nearly 200 years. "Captain Wei doesn't mind giving Lin Moyang the story of the seabreaker.

"That's it, the Seabreaker has encountered no more than five real ghost ships, the most famous being the First Sea Lord, the Great First Voyager, and his flagship Dark Surge Overlord. Captain Wei took a puff of his pipe, pointed to the passenger ship in front of him, and said, "Now this is the sixth time." ”

The four of them were silent when they heard him say this, this ghost ship can make people's hairs stand on end just by looking at it, not to mention listening to what the sea breaker said, this is still a naturally formed ghost ship.

"Well, but we still have to board the ship, and if there are restless spirits on it, it is our duty as seabreakers to rest them. We must not allow the soul to wander on the surface of the sea. Captain Wei sighed, and there were already sailors ready to lower the Wavebreaker's dinghy.

"Let's go. Taylor said to everyone's surprise, leaving Captain Wei stunned.

Captain Wei shook his head with his pipe in his mouth, "This is not good, this is the duty of our seabreakers, and we can't let the guests do it." ”

Green and Lin Moyang were also a little curious, they were not familiar with sea battles, why Taylor was unusually dominant.

"No, it's our responsibility. Taylor shook her head, she pointed to the ghost ship in the distance, and said to Green, "The outer wall of this ship is very clean, and it is not covered with sea life like the old ghost ship. And I checked it just now, and the only ship that has disappeared recently is ......" Taylor took out his phone and handed it to Green. It was a piece of news about a passenger ship named "Gough Island" that had disappeared a few days ago, and now the British government is conducting a search and rescue along the route. The white passenger boat in the picture is almost the same as the passenger ship in front of you.

"This is the Gough Island, one of the tourist routes of Tristan da Cunha, who departed from Tristan Island eight days ago and then lost contact. But this is not a regular tourist route on Tristan Island at all. Taylor pointed to the ghost ship, or the wrecked hull of the Gough Island.

"That's not a storm that can cause it, if I'm right, the ship was sunk and then moved here to sink. "Someone was trying to stop people from leaving Tristan Island, and the ship is now a ghost ship." As I said earlier, it is difficult for undead creatures to spawn naturally, but there are always accidents, such as if the deceased is a wizard, then it will greatly increase the chance of undead creatures spawning. ”

Taylor said faintly, "And if you want to produce a ghost ship, maybe this Gough Island was full of wizards before! Someone is preventing these wizards from escaping! Something must have happened on the island." ”

Green and Lin Moyang looked at each other, not knowing what to do. They don't have any experience with this kind of thing.

"So the matter of getting on the ship, it must be up to us, we have to find out what caused these wizards to flee en masse and die en masse on this ship. If someone wants the lives of these wizards, then there must be a secret in these wizards that the murderer wants to keep. Taylor said, and the girl chuckled mischievously, and she took the hands of Green and Lin Moyang one by one, causing Liliel to pout in dissatisfaction.

"So, now is the time for the Sword of Damocles to strike at the two most capable of making a move. ”
