Chapter 21: History

Looking in the direction from which the voice came, Ryuji noticed that the man he had seen earlier in the conference room was walking down with his hands behind his back.

For some reason, when I saw him alone this time, Ryuji actually had the idea of rushing up and killing him.

Ryuji restrained his impulse and took a step back, while he stared at the man's background, and what Ryuji thought in his mind was not what the ghost was referring to, but that the guy was a fish-man.

Ryuji knew that now was not the time to make a move, so he took a step back again, stared at the guy tightly, and then turned around and left the place.

Liu Zhi was afraid that he would not be able to suppress it for a while, so he directly killed that guy.

To know Liu Zhi's current strength, if he wants to kill a professional, it is a fairly simple matter.

Even if the opponent's strength reaches level 5, it is useless, and Liu Zhi has a fight.

But now Ryuji is reluctant to make a move in advance, because he finds that there are too many unsolved mysteries in the sea area of this game, whether it is the style of these ships or those ancient sailing ships called ghost ships, there are quite a lot of secrets behind them.

Back in his cabin, Ryuji saw the shipbuilder checking the energy pipes of the main power compartment there.

Seeing Ryuji coming in, the shipbuilder immediately said, "Master Sandru, how is the battle outside?" ”

"It's not even a defensive shield opened, what kind of battle is it, by the way, what is the situation of those ghost ships, do you know?"

"Yes, this is something you must learn to learn shipbuilding." The brainwashed shipbuilder didn't even ask Ryuji why he didn't know such a simple thing, and he quickly explained it to Ryuji.

"About three hundred years ago, this sea was the home of ghost ships, ancient ships that advanced on the propulsion of the natural wind and waves, with a strange kind of gunpowder cannonball.

At that time, the distance between the continents was calculated by years, and there was only one chance to go back and forth from the Eagle Country to Southeast Asia once a year.

Later a mysterious visitor arrives, bringing with him the latest technology, when his ship falls from the sky and falls into the center of the Pacific Ocean.

In order to repair his ship, he spread his shipbuilding skills to various countries, and it took him one hundred and seventy-five days before he finally repaired his ship and left here, and in these one hundred and seventy-five days, the whole world knew what true seafaring technology was.

And this is also known as the beginning of the voyage 175.

Since then, the distance between continents has been shortened, and the time to travel back and forth to a continent has changed from one year to fifteen days to a month.

In the next hundred years, this time has become shorter and shorter, and it now takes less than twenty days to circle the entire planet.

It was also from that time onwards that fleets on the surface of the sea would occasionally encounter attacks from mysterious and ancient ships, which would suddenly appear from underwater, attack and then suddenly disappear.

Whether these ships are blown up or escaped, they will not leave a trace.

Some people jumped on these old ships to see where they came from, but in the end the bodies of those people were washed ashore by the sea.

They could be seen drowned, and most strangely, their bodies looked as if they had been soaked in the sea for hundreds of years.

Finally, it was said that those ships were the resentment of the sea hundreds of years ago, and that the sea had drawn some of the ships that had sailed on the surface of the sea over the years, and perhaps those were nothing more than ghosts in time, so they always appeared and disappeared immediately.

Over time, they became known as ghost ships, and the sailors on board were also called ghosts. ”

Hearing the origin of the ghost ship, Ryuji thought seriously for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.

Although the shipbuilder said it was relatively simple, Ryuji still believed the shipbuilder's words after comparing everything he had seen before.

In the previous battle, Liu Zhi could see that all the ships were real ships, not the kind of ghost ships that sank into the sea for an unknown amount of time.

And the people above are also living people, and they are not the ghosts that Ryuji thinks.

Thinking of this, Ryuji quickly opened his attribute bar and looked at his task there.

[Hint: Career Upgrade Quest - Captain Ghost, please pull out a ghost ship of your own from scratch within 72 days, as a proof that you are better on the road to a necromancer than you are to be a sailor or a shipbuilder.] 】

After watching it for a long time, Liu Zhi let out a long sigh, "It turns out that Captain Ghost meant this, so I said that this ship is not suitable for my style, why did you give me such a task." ”

Ryuji's voice may have been a little louder, and the shipbuilder couldn't help asking, "What?" ”

"Nothing, by the way, what is that priest-like man, why do I see everyone so excited when they encounter the ghost ship?"

"Oh, yes, at the beginning, the ghost ships appeared, only against the ships on the various routes, and they often just destroyed the ships, and it didn't matter.

But then the gods said that these ghost ships were the root of all destruction, and that the sailors could be blessed by the gods as long as they proved their attack on the ghost ships in front of the priest. ”

Ryuji understood what was going on when he heard this, and he asked again, "Is that all ships will encounter ghost ships?" ”

"Not necessarily, sometimes you won't meet it once in a year or two when you go to sea, and sometimes you will encounter it several times at once, this is not necessarily."

"I see, do you know what is the situation of the fish-people, and which way they are leaning?"

Hearing this question, the shipbuilder's heart tightened, and he glanced around, "It's better to be careful with this question, Master Sandru, don't you know, what race the empress is, she is the royal family of the deep sea, the princess of the mermaid, under her hands, there is a fish-man army, I heard that it is the escort team specially sent to her by the fish-man empire."

The status of this army under the command of the Empress is only a little lower than that of the Naga Praetorian Guard, and in the entire navy, one-third of the generals are fish-man people, so don't mention bad things about fish-people. ”

"But I don't think I saw a fish-man on the boat."

"After they go ashore, they will wrap themselves in a kind of humanized skin, and ordinary people can't see the difference between them and normal people, only when they really fight, or jump into the water, will they know that they are fish people."

Ryuji thought for a moment and asked one last question, "If I kill a fish-man, will it cause any trouble?" ”
