Chapter 106: The Ghost Ship
Among the sailors of Idoris, there are always various legends.
Ancient shipwrecks laden with gold coins, royal fleets that have disappeared at sea, ghost ships that only appear at night, or miraculous objects that can make people immortal in the depths of the stormy seas, etc.
There are too many of these seductive and mysterious legends to count, most of them are the talk of taverns, and only a few of them are decent-sounding and lure hordes of adventurers and captains into setting sail into the vast and unfathomable seas.
At some point, a group of sailors came ashore to bring a new legend, which at first just said that they saw the famous villain of the sea, on the edge of the stormy sea, dragging two sea ships into the sea.
Later, another group of sailors said that they had encountered a ghost ship, which was silently sailing on the sea at night, glowing green, and the other party also spotted them, but did not pay attention to them, but just drove away quietly.
The ghost ship was painted by a drunken sailor, and he even said that he even reached out and touched it, staining his hand with a green fluorescent, which caused everyone to laugh.
But later, this unreliable legend was discovered by more and more people, some at night, some by day, a huge ship jumping up from under the sea, endless water flowing down the deck, or a ghost ship like a mountain, slowly sinking to the bottom under the cover of the moonlight.
New legends soon spread throughout Idoris, not only Idoris, but also other sea cities.
Naturally, this aroused the interest of many people who wanted to see it for themselves, and a large number of ships and adventurers began to go to sea in search of the spooky ghost ship.
Some returned in vain, others never returned, and the sailors swore to the image of the ghost ship, but were still scoffed at by those who did not believe it.
Eventually, an Imperial fleet of Kaiadir sailed to exterminate pirates and encountered the slow-moving ghost ship offshore.
For them, no special identification is piratery, merit and gold, so even if the ghost ship has no intention of attacking, the Imperial Navy still moves in advance.
This battle is not small, but the movement is not large, there are many sailors who have witnessed this battle with their own eyes, when the menacing Imperial fleet approached the ghost ship, countless tentacles rose from the sea, slippery skin, huge suckers, all mean an identity, the evil son of the sea!
Then, in the eyes of many sailors, on the second deck of the ghost ship, a dark shadow appeared, pulled out the scimitar at his waist, and swung it forward fiercely.
The two ships in front of the Imperial fleet were instantly dragged under the sea by tentacles, and countless crew members jumped ship to escape, and the ships behind slowed down one after another, and began to turn their bows under the horrified eyes of the crew.
Because no matter how powerful the fleet is, there is only one result when it encounters the evil sons of the sea.
This is how the battle ended, and the ghost ship slowly sank to the surface of the sea with the tentacles of the evil son of the sea.
This incident exploded at sea, and people confirmed that it was a true legend, that in the middle of the north and south of the continent, there was a ghost ship that could sail on and off the surface of the sea, and could drive away the evil sons of the sea.
Some say they are ancient sea ghosts, others say they are messengers of the sea god, but fortunately, unless they die, they have not heard of the ghost ship actively attacking the encounter ship.
......
......
Starting from the port, a small fishing boat with a barbecue stopped next to a shadow, and the strong man touched the hull of the boat, turned back to the old woman and said, "Captain, here it is, captain?"
"Well, go up. ”
The old woman who came back to her senses lowered her head, took two handfuls of seawater to wash off her dress, revealing her originally delicate face, then straightened up and took off her fat blue coat, and the magnificent wings that had been stuffy for a day spread, the wings vibrate, and the whole person flew directly to the deck.
The two strong men shook their heads helplessly, took the hook that hung down from it, fixed the small fishing boat, and was pulled up little by little.
The butterfly who flew onto the deck folded her wings, looked at the first mate who came and asked, "Are they all back?"
"It's all back, Captain. ”
"Any news?"
"Uh...... There was a message from the three groups that had come back from Honoris. ”
Die'er's eyes were bright, and her face became whiter and fairer in the reflection of the moonlight, "Come to the captain's room, speak carefully." ”
In the captain's room, Die'er sat on a chair holding a cup of hot tea, quietly listening to the first mate report the news that the three groups had heard.
"The three groups inquired about an old captain who had just come ashore in a harbor in Honoris, who had met the Tiger Shark once a few years earlier, but only said hello to each other, and then heard that the Tiger Shark had met a pirate, and then never heard anything about the Tiger Shark again. ”
The first mate is a tiger man, but he is not as fierce as an ordinary tiger man, and after finishing speaking, he scratched his head and waited for Die'er's orders.
Die'er took a sip of tea and frowned, "Do you know which pirate it is?"
"Duke of the Sea, Barlov. ”
"Duke of the Sea......
"Yes, Captain, it's the pirate fleet that passed us the day before yesterday. ”
Die'er nodded: "I know, you go out first, I brought the barbecue back, and it's gone when it's late." ”
The first mate of the Tiger Man answered, turned around and left the captain's room, he didn't understand why the Jackdaw came out of the stormy sea and reached the human side, the captain looked for the Tiger Shark like crazy.
According to the human brothers on the ship, the Tiger Shark was also a very famous sea overlord back then, but it disappeared later and no one has seen it again.
In the captain's room, Butterfly sat motionless in her chair, thinking quietly, and waited until the tea in the cup stopped steaming before she got up and walked out.
In the cafeteria on the second floor, there are many orcs and humans mixed together, there is no racial distinction at all, even if there is an occasional quarrel, it is just that you grab the last Larpo sea salmon, and he gambles money, that's all.
Looking at the bustling cabin, Die'er knocked on the door frame with a scimitar, and everyone suddenly fell silent.
"Anchor early tomorrow morning, the goal, take the island. ”
"Yes, Captain!"
"Yes, Captain!"
The crew responded, and when Butterfly left, they began to talk in a whisper again.
"Did I hear me right, the captain said he was going to Naroku?
"Scared, the Pirate Kingdom is a piece of, and letting all his pirates come out is not enough for us to stuff the Jackdaw. ”
", hiccup...... Even if all the ships on the sea are counted together, who can beat the son of the sea god?"
Everyone thought that the Jackdaw was invincible at sea, and they also made up a nickname: the Jackdaw.
On the deck, Butterfly was alone blowing the sea breeze, trying to catch the moonlight in the sky with one hand and holding the pendant on her chest with the other.
She was the only one who knew that the reason why the Jackdaw was so magical, able to sail below the surface of the sea, and even drive the wicked sons of the sea, was because of the stone she had picked up on the beach, a stone carved with clover grass like the tip of a spear.
She didn't know why, so she could only take it as a gift from the god of the sea, just like the clover depicted above...... She's lucky enough.
"Captain. ”
A voice came from behind itself, an emaciated human youth who was the second mate of the Jackdaw.
"Captain, Naluo Island is the base camp of the pirate kingdom, I don't think we should rush ashore, the Duke of the Sea Baroff is suspicious and cunning by nature, if he insists on hiding on the shore, we can't do anything about him. ”
"So this time we are not going to go as ghost ships, from tomorrow onwards, the flags on the ships will be changed, and we will be pirates for a while. ”
“...... Understood, Captain. ”
