This is the experience accumulated in the modern era of the earth, the Age of Discovery, especially as the Spanish Empire, which once dominated the Americas, shuttled between the Americas and Europe on the new routes, and was even more cautious about similar things.

On the American continent, plundering gold and silver, and then using Galen galleons to transport them, known as the Spanish treasure fleet, and this is the most desired goal of that group of pirates, even if it is the fleet of other countries, if they encounter these fleets in the rough Atlantic, if their own strength is enough, they will brazenly go up to act as a pirate.

As long as you take off the flag of your own country and raise the pirate flag with white skeletons on a black background, who cares which country's people or fleet, as long as you don't admit it, there will be no consequences.

Therefore, the Spanish fleet, when encountering a strange ship in the open ocean, or seeing a stranger on a small island, usually does not rescue it, even if there is a kind captain, he will cautiously lean over and make sure that there is no danger before launching a rescue, after all, in the vast sea, no one knows what will happen.

As the gun window was opened, a door gun was pushed out of the cabin, and the sailors on the deck were ready for battle, and the captain of the dhow also gestured to the helmsman behind him, "Lean in!" ”

"Understood!"

The helmsman is also an experienced old sailor, squinting slightly and scanning the surrounding sea, with the increased view from the stern building, the whole person is also extremely vigilant, the rudder in his hand turns slightly, and the dhow under him also slowly drifts past.

The sinking merchant ship seemed to have tilted to a dangerous angle, as if the bottom of the ship had been heavily damaged, and there were many barrels and broken planks floating around the ship, and it was obvious that the cargo in the hold had been poured out by the currents in the breach, and it was expected that the breach that poured into the sea water should not be too small.

Li Wei stood at the bow of the ship, his brows were already slightly furrowed, the scimitar in his hand that was still stained with the blood of the fish man had not yet been withdrawn, and he clenched it and said softly to the captain next to him: "This is a little, something is wrong." 【】”

"Yes, it could really be a conspiracy."

The captain nodded in agreement, and the solemnity on his face had deepened a little, and he understood what Levi meant by something wrong, because even when his gaze swept over the sinking merchant ship, he had not found a single person, not even a corpse, or anything related to humans.

It was as if it was a ghost ship, or a ghost ship that was about to sink, which made Levi feel a little jealous in his heart, and turned his head to the sailors who had also gathered behind him and were preparing, and said in a deep voice: "If you find an abnormal situation, report it immediately!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The shouts were also passed down quickly, and whether it was the sailors waiting on the deck, or the gunners who were already holding hot iron tongs in the gun compartment, staring at the artillerymen outside with a straight face, they all swept the sea outside with great seriousness and vigilance.

Especially the pair of eyes, very cautiously swept over the empty merchant ship, none of them were newcomers who had just gone to sea, it was precisely because they had been serving on the sea for two or three years, so they expressed their uneasiness in the bottom of their hearts about the empty merchant ship and the appearance of being tilted and subverted.

It is possible that this is really a pirate conspiracy, because many pirates in the North American coast of the Age of Discovery, or in the coastal waters of Morocco, will use similar methods to attract curious people.

They were all waiting quietly, while guarding the surroundings, but after waiting for five or six minutes, there was still no trace of the pirate ambush on the empty sea around them, after all, it was the sea, as long as they stood high, they could see it as far as they could, even if the two sides found the traces, if a nimble ship really wanted to escape, it would not be solved at all without half a day.

This is not land, but the sea, which can only rely on the wind and the sea, and the most famous word on earth to describe a naval battle, that is, a naval battle, which can ruin an entire day, represents the complexity of naval warfare.

"No anomalies were found."

However, when the dhow slowly approached the sinking merchant ship, it did not find anything suspicious, and even the captain who was still vigilant couldn't help frowning slightly, and said to Levi: "It seems that there is really no situation." ”

"So, what happened to the shipwreck that caused it to be abandoned?"

Levi also touched his chin, looking at the appearance that had obviously made a huge tilt, but was still forcibly floating on the sea with a wooden structure, he also made a slight idea in his heart, and said to the captain standing next to him: "I'll take someone over to take a look, the ship is about to sink, and there are not many people who can't go up." ”

The captain couldn't help swallowing and spitting, his eyes were a little surprised, but he still gritted his teeth and said categorically to Levi: "Wait, Your Majesty, you go up in person?" ”

But before Levi could speak, he directly took half a step forward, stopped Levi's side, and said solemnly to him: "Your Majesty, this ship is about to sink, if something happens to you when you go up, even all of us will not be able to explain this matter in front of the people of Spain!" ”

"Don't worry, I know in my heart."

Patting the captain on the shoulder, Levi showed a hint of a smile, and without waiting for the loyal captain to react, he stepped directly onto the side of the ship, almost like an ape, and jumped on the side of the merchant ship that had turned on its side half a meter away.

The waves and the inverted waters seem to have reached some kind of critical point, and the overturned merchant ship seems to have returned to the light and insists on sinking incompletely below the surface, and according to the experience of the old sailors and the current situation, it is estimated that there is still nearly thirty minutes of safe time before the ship sinks.

After all, a large ocean-going merchant ship is not a paddle ship in the classical era, and the length, width and height of its own volume, as well as the huge space in the cabin, can definitely ensure that there is a lot of struggle time before it completely enters the water and sinks.

In fact, the sinking time of this kind of wooden ocean-going sailing ship is calculated in hours, and even if it is a large amount of water for more than ten hours, sometimes it will not sink, after all, wood belongs to something that can float on the sea, and with the increasing pressure and density of water every meter under the sea surface, it can also hold up these wooden sailing ships.

"Bang."

Levi's feet jumped neatly on the sloping deck, his whole body was slightly lowered like a cheetah, and the scimitar in his hand was also clenched, his gaze swept over the surrounding deck environment.

It was indeed empty, and he didn't even see the slightest trace of a fight, as if a group of people had abandoned the merchant ship and chose to escape in a life-saving boat, drifting aimlessly in this deep ocean where he didn't know what his fate would be, hoping to be saved.

"Your Majesty, is there no situation?"

On the left and right sides of Levi, two smaller Spanish sailors also jumped over, vigilantly swept the surrounding traces, and had a bayonet in their hands, and the butt of the rifle was still stained with blood, and they also took a breath very cautiously, slowly guarding Levi's sides, as if waiting for the battle, and also waiting for the enemy to come suddenly at any time.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Levi stretched out his hand to signal the two sailors next to him not to be nervous, but instead walked towards the upper deck, at the top of the slope, where it was supposed to be the staircase to enter the cabin, and next to it was the door to the aft building.

However, during the voyage, the door that should have been tightly closed had been opened at this time, Levi's brows furrowed slightly, the scimitar in his hand was clenched, and at the same time he warned the two sailors behind him in a deep voice: "Be careful, I seem to smell something, something unusual." ”

Sniffing slightly, Li Wei could feel that this was not actually an unpleasant smell, but with a certain earthy smell on the earth, perhaps the most common in the early morning after the rain, but on a merchant ship on the vast sea that was about to sink, smelling this earthy scent, something was wrong.

The two sailors also swallowed slowly and foamed, they also sensed this taste, there was really something wrong, they looked at each other, and chose not to speak, but moved forward and followed Levi's left and right sides.

Even on the dhow, almost all of them were already squinting their eyes and holding flintlock pistols in their hands, as long as there was the slightest abnormal situation, or the presence of an enemy, they could react in just a second, which was their confidence as a regular navy!

"It's from under the cabin, come with me to see."

Levi came to the open staircase of the cabin, tilted at an angle that allowed them to barely stand, but at the top of the staircase, the smell of earth from the cabin grew stronger.

It's like being on land, in the middle of a hill after a rain, feeling the fragrance of flowers and plants, and this feeling is the breath of nature.

"No, the breath of nature?"

Levi swallowed and spit, something suddenly came to his mind, and the whole person was slammed, and the figure that was still thinking about continuing to move forward forcibly retreated backwards, because in front of him, a cold light with a scream instantly stuck to the tip of his nose and went straight to the sky, and even narrowly shredded the hair on Levi's forehead.

But the scimitar in his hand did not pause at all, and the whole person was not so frightened that he stood directly on the spot, but the scimitar slashed fiercely in front of him, and dangerously knocked out a cold light that shot immediately after!
