Chapter 112: The Truth About the Curse

"Selector No. 95270 Wang Mancang, please note that you have triggered the World Exploration Mission 'The Curse of the Lady Luo Weipeng', may I ask if you accept the mission?"

The space prompt sounded at this time, and it seemed that Captain Simon should be convinced by someone and agreed to communicate well in order to meet the trigger conditions of the world exploration mission.

"What else can I do? Lao Wang laughed to himself, and then sighed helplessly and said, Originally, he didn't have time to solve Simon's bad things, but since Captain Simon became his servant, there are also a lot of hints in the space, which show that what this cheap servant said is really the truth.

That is to say, if Lao Wang does not solve the problem of this so-called servant, let alone return to the White Tulip, even the communication is blocked, and he can't contact his teammates if he wants to, which is equivalent to saying that Lao Wang really has no way to get out of this ghost ship except for accepting the task and ending the matter, so he can only accept.

"You have accepted the World Exploration Mission 'The Curse of the Lady Lovipon', please help Captain Simon's ghost complete his revenge within 5 hours, and lift his eternal curse, so that his soul can leave the world that does not belong to him in peace. ”

"Reward: Random points * 3000, specified mental power attribute points * 2, shell coins * 2. ”

Lao Wang's eyes rolled, and found that this task is a world exploration mission, and there are a lot of rewards, in this case, Simon's bad thing is still a little difficult, the task time is 5 hours, this time is okay, if it can be completed on time, it will not have too much impact on the treasure exploration mission.

Wang walked over to the seat facing Simon and sat down, raising his hand to signal him to continue.

The green flame in the skull's eye socket flickered a few times, and the hollow voice was flat with a hint of sadness: "Dear Captain Van der Kamp, you just knew that my name was Simon, you must have seen the dagger and my captain's hat stuck in my chest, right?"

Lao Wang nodded, and the skeleton continued:

"That's right, that's a gift from my dear wife, I had been a captain for less than a year, and I was lucky enough to catch up with my newlywed Yan'er, which was a great thing for both sides. ”

"I love my wife very much, and she loves me very much, and if life goes on like that, I should be a happy guy with children and grandchildren, although I must be a dead old man by now, hahaha. The skeleton said a very cold black humor, and when he saw that Lao Wang had no reaction, he continued:

"I was a young and bold captain, and my ship, the Madame Rowsbon, was no ordinary merchant ship, and my lord, you saw the signs of the gunsoft windows and the ramming, for we were licensed privateers appointed by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth I, and we had troubled the Spaniards for the sake of England's strength. ”

"In spite of the excitement and passion of my days at sea, I have been taken away by a girl with an innocent smile, who is the love of my life, Cecilia, and I am sure you have seen her name on the hilt of that dagger. ”

"To put it simply, we fell in love, very passionately, Cecilia was not only an innocent and happy girl, in her bones, she was as adventurous as I was, always interested in the mysterious sea, many of our dates were carried out in the form of two people driving a dinghy for short voyages, after that, our love became more and more passionate, we became more and more inseparable from each other, and finally she agreed to my proposal, and we were happily married. ”

"But as I said, I thought our union would be a happy and boring story, but I didn't expect it to be the beginning of my nightmare. ”

"I love my dear Cecilia, and I love my Lady Rovibert, in fact, in my heart, I have always had the idea of letting my beloved girls meet each other, and Cecilia always begged me to say that I wanted to go to a real ship, so I agreed to take her on a simple voyage, you know, it is the most taboo behavior of seafarers to let women on board, and I must also take into account the considerations of my crew. ”

"For these purposes, I asked Cecilia to disguise herself as a man on the ship, I kept it strictly secret, and only told the person I trusted the most, my good brother and my good first mate Bill, and I asked him to help me cover up this matter, when I married Cecilia, Bill was my best man, and he was the only one on the ship who was the best fit to help me cover up Cecilia's existence. ”

"You brother, I'm afraid you didn't do a good job in the end, right?" Lao Wang heard the taste of gossip and couldn't help but interject.

"Captain Van der Kamp is as wise as the ocean, and yes, this brother, whom I believe with all my heart, was madly infatuated with and coveted my beautiful bride when I was married, and when I came to his door this time, he almost thought that his prayer had been manifested, and was overjoyed, and blessed me with a mouthful of promise. ”

"We were going to sail off the coast of England to the vicinity of Greenland, and then round the island back to London, and when Cecilia had disembarked, I would go out to sea with my crew and continue to trouble the Spaniards. ”

"We set sail, and the couple had a happy and nourishing day of sailing, and Cecilia often told me that we had had the most meaningful honeymoon in the world, but we didn't realize it at the time, and Bill was full of anger and jealousy when he looked at Cecilia's daily happiness, and I didn't have the heart to pay attention to what he was thinking at that time, not knowing that this man, who was burned with jealousy, had arranged a great conspiracy. ”

"Bill first pretended to tell me that on the nameless island near the shipping line, there were precious white roses that bloomed all year round, and they were one of the most beautiful flowers in the world, and that as a newlywed, I naturally had the idea of plucking them and giving them to my beloved wife. ”

"It was a surprise, of course I couldn't take Cecilia with me, so I made a casual excuse and told her that I needed to go to the nearby island to map the terrain and use it as a temporary port of activity for ships in the future, and how did Cecilia know what I was thinking? ”

Simon's skeleton paused here, the green flames in his eyes dim and barely visible, and then said in a voice that was close to choking:

"There were no white roses on that island, only ordinary flowers, which I had not been able to find for most of the day, so I was a little worried about Cecilia, so I hastily picked some wild flowers and returned to the boat to explain them to my wife. ”

"But in this short period of time, it was enough for the madness of the Bills, and he contacted the sailors who were usually a bit crooked, killed my brother who was loyal to me, launched a rebellion, and took control of the Lady Lovipon while I was away. ”

"Then he yelled and tried to possess my Cecilia, and my wife, who was very loyal and clever, immediately understood the real reason for my 'work out of the house,' and she committed suicide with the custom-made dagger that was meant to be a gift for me. ”

"He was afraid that I would come back and see the clues, and if I abandoned me and ran away, he was afraid that I would not be trapped on the island and seek revenge on him, so he did not care for anything, and was ready to kill me when I returned to the ship, and in the end, he succeeded. ”

"When I got back to the ship, I didn't see Cecilia coming to meet me, and I felt that something was wrong, and Bill came up to me and told me that Cecilia was feeling unwell and was resting in my cabin, so I should hurry up and have a look. ”

"What do I have to care about when I hear this? I rushed directly into the captain's room, and saw Cecilia covered in blood, lying on the floor, I was blindfolded, I went crazy on the spot, I rushed over desperately, picked up my Cecilia, and called her name loudly, but her body was cold, this beautiful life was gone, and no matter how much I cried, she did not respond. ”

"Bill appeared behind me at this time, and the shock and grief were so strong that I couldn't even think, and he easily killed me, and finally stuck the dagger that Cecilia used to commit suicide into my chest, and said, 'This is a gift from your prostitute, and I will pass it on my behalf.'" ’”

Perhaps Bill was distracted by so many things, and he had forgotten one thing, that the sea is fickle, and even if the sky was clear one second ago, it could suddenly roll up a shocking wave. ”

"The weather in the Golden Beach Sea, where the Lady Rovipon is located, has changed suddenly, and Bill has just separated me from Cecilia's corpses when the weather..."

"Excuse me, I'm interrupting, why are you separating the bodies?"

"Honorable master, that's because he's so vicious, even if we die, he doesn't want to see us die together again!"

"Don't get excited, go on. ”

"In short, the waves swallowed up the Lady Row, and Bill and the sailors involved in the rebellion died, and there was no trace of this tragedy that happened on the sea, but all of our souls could not rest in peace, and under the powerful obsession they turned into evil spirits, and because of this, the Lady Rowspen returned to the sea from the bottom of the sea again, and became a ghost ship. ”

"Wait a minute, so you're not the only one on this ship?"

"Yes, first of all, the loyal crew and me who were killed, we control the first deck area, and then there are Bill and the renegade sailors, who hold Cecilia's soul hostage on the second and lower decks, and our two groups have been at war with each other for a long time. ”

"Why did you want to kill me when I came up?" asked Wang.

"Because we all want to gain greater strength, defeat each other, control the entire Lady Rovibert, lift the curse, and if we kill the seafarers who inadvertently get on board, they will also become resentful spirits, which is an increase in power. ”

"Lack of morality, aren't you afraid that people will become resentful spirits and won't buy your account?"

"The souls on this ship who have a pre-life consciousness are our old team, and the new spirits don't know that they will all be wiped out of consciousness, but only know that they will fight with the people who killed them, like war machines. ”

"Then what about your subordinates, why didn't they come out to help you just now?"

"At first, I thought I could make it easy... Forehead... After completing the work, it was me who didn't want them to come out, their spiritual energy was not as good as mine, and when they came out and met your soul-sucking props, they would die without a place to be buried. ”

"Can't you see that you're quite righteous?"

"No, no, it's still the kindness of the respected master. ”

"I'm not poking you in the lungs, you're such a big captain, and you're young and ambitious, this situation is generally arrogant, and you can't wait for your eyes to grow on the ceiling, why do you pull down your face when you see that the situation is not good, and you can still call me a master aggrievedly?"

"I'm going to let Cecilia be redeemed, she should go to heaven, and for that, I can't die no matter what, being someone else's dog, licking someone else's boot, no problem!"

"Well, what I said is reasonable, and it is more in line with my heart. Lao Wang stood up and touched his clothes and said, "Call the brothers out first, and then tell me how I can free you from the curse and kill that bastard named Bill." ”

Captain Simon's skeleton saw that the old king behaved heroically, and also had a little affection, stood up and waved his hand, and the black curtain-like fog at the door of the captain's room disappeared, and the deck outside the cabin was faintly visible by the moonlight.

The skeleton walked to the door, bent down and motioned for Lao Wang to go first, the servant etiquette was quite in place, Lao Wang was not polite, he walked on the deck with his head held high, and the white spirits around him came out of the hull, they rolled up their ashes, turned into skeletons like Simon, and stood neatly on the deck, Lao Wang counted, Simon's sailors were about forty people.

"Master Van der Kamp, these brothers listen to me, and you can command them as you please. Simon introduced to Wang.

"What about the other side?" asked Wang.

"There were about 50 people, a little bit more than us. Simon replied.

"They're quite uncompetitive, you've been fighting for more than a hundred years, how can you still not be able to take advantage of the numbers?"

"So this is where we suffer the most, we are all spirits, what tricks and means are very clear to each other, we have never been able to distinguish the winner or loser, we curse each other and fight, and we will never be able to leave this ship. ”

"What about your wife, since she is a spirit, why is she being held hostage by the enemy, that Bill should have no way to take her, how did he trap her?"

"Because Bill has always been interested in dark magic and necromancy, and he has also joined secret societies that worship evil undead, death has not alleviated his fascination with Cecilia, on the contrary, he is even more insane, he has locked Cecilia's spirit in his body with the dark magic spell he knows, so, can you imagine how long it has been since I have seen my Cecilia? So, please..."

"Are you telling me not to use any black clay pot, for fear that your wife and that Bill jade will burn?"

"It's an unreasonable request, but please appreciate my painstaking efforts. ”

"There's something I can't understand, I can do without it, or I can help you kill Bill. Lao Wang smiled and said, "Who told you that I will only use this black clay pot to fight against spirits?"
