Chapter 151: The Ghost Ship in the Harbor (Subscription Requested)
In the past, there was a bustling port near the Spider Mountains, where many merchant ships were willing to dock as a supply point. △ Top Novel,www.
Some adventurers are also very happy with this place, as long as they go to the nearby place to hunt a few magical beasts, they can easily sell them to passing merchants, and then use the silver coins to spend a wonderful night in the taverns in the harbor.
But that disappeared overnight, and all the people in the harbor disappeared as if they were air.
Later, some people came here to explore, but because they never found anything, they gradually ...... This port is forgotten by everyone. Except for a few old adventurers, no one remembers that there is a harbor on this remote coastline.
Today, however, the abandoned port has welcomed a special guest.
"The preservation of the building is relatively intact, and it has not yet reached the point of complete collapse."
Roland walked slowly through the abandoned harbor to his destination: the docks.
Compared to the games of the previous life, the port has not changed much and is still dead. When I looked closely, I saw buildings covered in cobwebs all around, and from time to time a few rats scurried through the ruins, making strange noises.
He had come to this place mainly to take this abandoned port, mainly to take a ghost ship.
If nothing else, the bow ghost ship will show up at the dock around noon and late at night, and take the guests to where they want to go.
In the previous game, the ship was mainly used to travel to the lost island. But now, as long as Roland changes his destination, he can go directly to Aston City, the capital of Brumandy, which is extremely convenient.
"But it's not yet noon......
When Roland came to the dock in the port, he couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the desolate scene and the calm sea in front of him.
It's not yet noon. So he had to wait here for the bow ghost ship to appear.
"By the way, I'll have to release those guys in the Ouroboros Ring first, or I'll be suffocated."
Suddenly, Roland rang out the Erin people inside the Ouroboros Ring, and hurriedly opened the door of the Ouroboros Ring and released all of them.
Although card summons don't have to eat. But Erin and Betis are normal human beings, and there is no food reserve inside the ring, so they will die without food and water for a long time.
With a buzz, the quaint gate reappeared. Erin and Betis, as well as Sass the Thieves and Prince Wicks, as well as the Centaur Girl, all appear in front of him.
"Hmph, I thought Roland was busy and forgot about us."
When the female knight Betis saw Roland, a trace of tenderness immediately flashed in her eyes, but it was only fleeting. Soon she snorted coldly and turned her head away.
"Mr. Roland, it's a pleasure to see you again."
"Hi. What is this place, Mr. Roland? ”
Erin and the centaur girl Christie looked at him with worry in their eyes, while Sass knew the whole story, so he was just curious about the scenery around him.
"It's an abandoned port, and we're going to take a boat here to Aston City."
Roland looked at the noisy people in front of him, and patiently explained to them, lest they become hostile to the appearance of the ghost ship and then attack it.
"Prince Wicks. Are you okay? ”
After a complete explanation, Roland came to the accused puppet. Said lightly.
"It's okay...... Roland, thank you very much for your help. ”
A grateful smile appeared on Prince Wicks' face and nodded.
"Prince Wicks, wait a minute, the ship will be here soon."
Roland looked at the look on Wicks' face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but outline a strange smile.
In the absence of a special order. This puppet Wicks is like an ordinary person, and he can't see any flaws at all.
This is what Roland wants, so that others can't see that the prince is his puppet, and he speaks in a tone like an ordinary friend, so that people will not feel suspicious.
It is estimated that he passed guò this time to "save the prince of Wix". I guess I can get a viscount.
Suddenly, a grunting sound caught Roland's attention.
Turning his head to look, he saw Erin crushing her stomach and hanging her head, not daring to meet the eyes of others. It turned out that he was hungry, and it seemed that he had to find some food to get back.
"You guys wait a while, Christie and I go outside and look for some food."
Roland smiled, and immediately called the centaur girl to prepare to hunt wild beasts in the grove outside the harbor.
But before he could take two steps, he was stopped by the voice of the female knight Betis.
"Roland, I've got some food stored here, which should be enough for all of us."
As soon as she finished speaking, Betis touched the storage ring with her hand.
With a snort, a sudden silver light flashed, and when the light gradually faded away, a huge box appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Phew, I'm glad I had some ingredients in stock."
The knightess sighed and pry open the chest with her blade.
Because the chest has a special storage magic, when the chest is opened, it is greeted by a pile of meat and vegetables that are still very fresh, as well as a complete set of cutlery and seasonings.
"Well, in that case...... So let me be a chef again. ”
Now that you have these ingredients, let's get started. Roland immediately rolled up his sleeves and prepared to try his hand at cooking for the first time in this world.
However, due to the lack of kitchen utensils, most of the ingredients can only be made by roasting. Maybe it's a good choice to make it into grilled meats and soups, well, so let's decide.
But the rest of the people instantly fell into a state of stupor after watching Roland's skillful movements, they really couldn't imagine that Roland, as a priest, could use all kinds of magic and be able to cook food so skillfully.
Oh my God, is there anything this guy wouldn't?
Even the female knight Betis looked at Roland with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Mr. Roland, I'm here to help, too."
"Miss Irene, don't. Be careful! ”
“…… I'm sorry. ”
This small banquet-like gathering was very lively, and it was a stark contrast to the dead silence of the ruins of the harbor around it, as if it were two worlds.
But just when Roland and their place was bustling, no one noticed that in the ruins of the building not far from them, a black shadow was watching this qiē.
It stared silently like a silent ghost.
As time passed. It was almost noon.
Roland's handmade zuò lunch was appreciated by everyone, and the delicious barbecue and soup made Erin even say that she wanted to invite Roland to her house as a chef
After a hearty lunch, the group sat in an open space on the dock and waited for the boat to arrive.
"Roland, the food you just made is delicious, where did you learn it?"
Suddenly, Roland heard a voice beside him, looked back, and saw that the female knight Betis had come to his side, looking at him with a puzzled face.
"I just went to school by looking at some recipes. Nothing was too much trouble......"
Roland smiled awkwardly and brushed the matter off the ground, he couldn't say that he had learned it from watching TV shows in his previous life.
"Still don't want to believe me......"
Seeing that Roland didn't want to continue, Betis's eyes couldn't help but dim a little, and his hands were clenched tightly.
"The bow ship is coming, and everyone is ready to get on board."
But Roland didn't notice this, because his eyes were always on the sea.
Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared on the sea. It's slowly approaching.
As the distance closes, you can clearly see that it is a bow boat. But whether it's the mottled marks on the hull. Or the rust on the iron sheet, as if telling the story of this bow ship is an old antique many years ago, and it is a miracle to be able to sail on the sea.
And what is even more terrifying is that there is no one on this ship, not even a sail, only a lone pole and pestle in the hull, which looks very strange.
"The ship? How does it look like a ghost ship......"
Erin after seeing the bow. A hint of fear could not help but appear on his face. Because the bow boat reminded her of some ghost ship stories that the servants of the family often told.
"Well, that guy is a ghost ship, but it's not in any danger and can safely carry us to Aston City."
"But ......"
Roland came to Erin and reached out and touched her head: "Don't worry." Miss Irene, I'll protect you. ”
After a lot of effort to appease the blonde Lori, the bow ghost ship has docked on the dock, waiting for the passengers.
"Let's go, everyone come with me."
Roland groaned, and immediately pulled out the gold coins he had received from Pesso and scattered them all onto the sea near the ghost ship.
Puff puff puff! The dazzling gold coin fell to the surface of the sea, slowly sank downward, and disappeared in an instant.
This is the way to pay for the ghost ship, spilling the gold coins into the sea, and only then can the gold coins be delivered to the ghost's hands smoothly.
With a bang, almost at the same time as Roland spilled the gold coins, a ladder was immediately dropped from the ship.
"Let's all go up, don't worry, there will be no danger on board, because now we are their guests."
After Roland's persuasion, everyone was much less afraid of the strange ghost ship, and slowly climbed the ladder up the boat.
"Hey, Captain, we're heading to Aston City."
When everyone was on board, Roland whispered into the empty deck.
His action immediately sent chills through the rest, as anyone who knew they had a group of unseen ghosts around them would feel uncomfortable.
As soon as the words fell, the unmanned ghost ship began to move slowly, leaving the harbor and heading in the direction of the sea.
But just as the ghost ship was leaving, a dark shadow sprang out of the ruins of the harbor and leaped high to the stern of the ship.
However, the outsider did not attract anyone's attention, and disappeared as soon as he boarded the ship, as if it had never been there.
