The boat came in a little more, and Lao Wang observed it more clearly, this ship is not just as simple as not having a selector, but the whole ship is in a trance, and there is a weirdness everywhere.

The White Tulip was ready to attack, orderly and tense, and at night, the noise of the hustle and bustle was especially conspicuous in the quiet of the sea.

However, this busyness belonged only to the White Tulip, and the incoming ship came closer and closer, but it was quiet and almost integrated with the night, whether it wanted to fight or not, so quiet was impossible, and there was not a sound from the coming ship except for the slight rolling sound of the hull breaking the waves.

Lao Wang picked up the telescope again to see, the sea was dark, because of the lack of light, he couldn't see it very really, but now that the distance was close, he could already slightly identify the general sail shadow.

The size of this ship is not large, it is about a three-masted ship, but it is different from a normal three-masted ship, whether it is a Galen ship, a round-bellied merchant ship or a spinnaker clipper, it is different from the outline in front of her, and the other party's ship lights are indeed too scarce, which increases the difficulty of observation.

"The boat on the opposite side wasn't bright enough to see what it was. Ferdinand finished the preliminary deck arrangement, and at this time came to Lao Wang's side, and also observed with a telescope, his mouth seemed to be talking to himself, and it was like reporting to Lao Wang.

"Then we will also do the lighting control, and in case of shelling, we will be very passive when we have more light. Lao Wang turned around and ordered: "I don't know friend or foe for the time being, be cautious." ”

Ferdinand pressed his hat with his hand to show his obedience, and went down to inform the sailors to prepare, and the old king turned back, ready to set up another telescope to continue observing, and then just turned his face to the sea, his lips unconsciously pursed into a nervous straight line.

Just as he turned his head to give Ferdinan the order, the ship that was getting closer and closer disappeared before his eyes.

No matter how small the three-masted sailboat is, after all, it is a guy dozens of meters long, even if it is completely facing the White Tulip, it has a horizontal surface more than ten meters wide and a sail dozens of meters high, which is not a size that can be said to be nothing.

Lao Wang clicked and closed the telescope, ready to talk about this discovery with the other three people, just about to open his mouth, only to feel an inexplicable coldness enveloping his body, just now his attention was on the disappearance of the coming ship, did not pay attention to the situation around him, and now when he came back to his senses and looked around, there was already a fog in all directions, this feeling was like, the unknown origin of the ship turned into a thick fog, diffused on the white tulip.

The mist was as thick as milk, not to mention that you couldn't see within a few meters, and even if you took your hand in front of you and shook it, it was difficult to see.

Lao Wang's heart tightened, worried that something would happen to everyone, and shouted: "Roderick! Ferdinand!"

However, his call dissipated into silence, and neither Boss Tan nor Ferdinand responded, which made Lao Wang suddenly have an illusion that the dense fog around him seemed to have a soundproof effect, and all the shouts could not be transmitted at all.

"Bamboo!

Lao Wang tried the team channel again, but there was still no result, the team channel strictly said that it does not rely on sound communication means, so there is only one explanation for being blocked.

Wang Mancang shivered, subconsciously changed the hunter's axe into his hand first, twisted his hands, "clicked" to pull the sleeve, and changed the axe to a double-wielding long-handled state, showing a state of alert.

Then he stomped his foot, and after feeling the physical object under his feet, he slowly moved forward, and the long-handled hunter axe expanded the scope of exploration, this unidentified fog was too weird, in case there was a problem, there was still time to react with the long-handled weapon to explore the way.

The old king moved his feet carefully, turning his body as he walked, the hunter's axe slowly drawing circles around his body, and the cold fog weapon made the knuckles of the knuckles of the axe turn pale.

He took several deep breaths to calm down the tense emotions, since he entered the space, he has experienced a lot of things, and there are strange things, but this completely powerless scene still makes him feel somewhat unable to start.

The squeaky sound of the deck with the footsteps of Lao Wang sounded a sense of decay and dilapidation, Lao Wang's heart moved, felt that something was wrong, hurriedly changed to his left hand to hold the axe, knelt down on one knee, opened the palm of his right hand, pressed on the deck of the ship, only felt that the place at the beginning was a mess, as if he had neglected to take care of the old wood for many years.

And so it was.

The white tulip was used by the captive Seal to change the name of the ship, and Ferdinand helped Lao Wang judge the age of the ship when he received the ship, and it was only two years, which was still a new ship, plus it was well maintained, and the hull was in good condition, and the deck in this condition would definitely not have such a creak.

Lao Wang's brows furrowed, and he secretly analyzed the situation in his heart.

Could it be that the White Tulip is aging rapidly due to the dense fog? However, judging from the physical condition and information column he just checked, he was not affected by the dense fog, and there was no sign of rapid aging.

Or is it that he is no longer on the White Tulip?

Wang Mancang rubbed his eyes, patted his head and continued to walk slowly, as long as he reached the border, he could find something, but the strange thing was that he could only feel the existence of the deck under his feet, and the hunter's axe as a probe did not touch anything, even if he walked slowly, it shouldn't be like this, according to common sense, he should have already walked out of the deck range of the White Tulip.

Lao Wang continued to walk for about 3 minutes, and gradually felt that the dense fog around him began to recede, and after a while, the thick milk turned into a faint tulle, and the surrounding situation became clear.

The second conjecture came true! This ship is not the White Tulip!

The old king looked around and quickly came to this conclusion, not only because the ship under his feet looked old, and the surrounding structure was dilapidated and decayed, but also because the ship was structurally different from the White Tulip.

The White Tulip is a four-masted gallen, and this ship has three masts, and the design is also very old, the whole deck appears short and wide, the rudder is forward, and the bow and stern are relatively wide, compared with the narrow and sharp 17th-century Galen ship, the above structures look retro and old, not modern enough, but very much like the unknown ship that came to it before.

Lao Wang stopped, raised his eyebrows, and suddenly remembered that in the ship type information he had consulted after entering the Age of Sail, the characteristics of a ship type were vaguely consistent with the scene he saw in front of him.

It was a type of ship called the Clark sailboat, which was no less popular in the 15th century than the three- or four-masted galleon ship of the 17th century.

The Clark sailboat was characterised by its large curved stern and the huge mast in the bow, with several sails on the foremast and midmast, and a spinnaker on the backmast, which also had a profound influence on the concept of sailing for the Galen.

In addition, the Clark was the first ship in European history to be used for ocean voyages, and its sheer size was able to maintain stability in the vast oceans, and the interior was large enough to store enough supplies for ocean voyages.

That's right, the age of Clark's sailing was active from the 15th century to the 16th century, and the setting age of the trial world of the Age of Sail is similar to the end of the 17th century to the beginning of the 19th century, so calculated, Lao Wang's feet are an out-and-out old girl, conservatively estimated, her age is at least 150 years old, this is a wooden hull can not be crossed in any case, the gap in time, common sense, she will not appear here, then obviously, this ship has a problem, from the beginning of the close to the White Tulip, she has some purpose。

Lao Wang was analyzing his findings, and suddenly heard a squeak, and he suddenly turned his head and looked at the source of the sound.

The door to the captain's room in the stern doesn't know when it opens, and the dark room is like a deep hole, which makes people unconsciously want to enter, but they don't move forward, even the most daring people will be inexplicably afraid.

"Grandma's!" the old king muttered and cursed, and then shouted boldly: "Sweep away all the ghosts, snakes, and gods!" After the fear in his heart was slightly vented by the sentence in the quotation, he turned on a cold firework that he had purchased and threw it into the dark captain's room.

The cold fireworks with a large lighting range entered the captain's room in an arc, as if they were thrown into the bait of a fish's mouth, and they disappeared without a trace, and the light was extinguished instantly.

Lao Wang is even more vigilant in his heart, but now he is not on his white tulips, the top priority is to find a way to go back quickly, no matter what is on this ship, the other party opened the door of the captain's room, and the clear meaning is to invite you into the urn, but if you don't enter, is it difficult to die on this strange ship?

Wang Mancang settled down, tightened the hand strap on the weapon twice, turned the axe into a short handle for the convenience of movement, and walked into the captain's room with a firm step.

As soon as he walked into the captain's room, Lao Wang found that this place was not the same as it seemed, looking inside along the door, it looked like it was pitch black, in fact, it was like a paint curtain was hung at the door, and after passing through, there were actually a few kerosene lamps lit in the room, and the cold fireworks that Lao Wang had just thrown in were still sizzling in the corner, and they were burning.

Similar to Lao Wang's speculation outside the cabin just now, the furnishings in the captain's room also exude an old and quaint atmosphere, most of the objects are rotten, some metal appliances are still stained with rust, and even the kerosene lamp that is still burning is stained, and it looks like it has gone through some years.

The nautical chart on the captain's main table has been blurred, a skeleton is sitting on a chair next to the table, its body is lying on its back, a dagger is inserted in its chest, and the two black holes in the eye part look at the ceiling in a daze, the clothes should also be the captain of a ship, and in the corner of his captain's hat, there are two English letters embroidered with gold thread, which should be the abbreviation of the skeleton's full name before his death.

"Pretending to be a ghost. Lao Wang saw that there was nothing abnormal, and muttered a word of courage in his mouth, saying that this skeleton was sitting in the middle, and it looked like he had died of murder, and he was afraid that he would not be able to find a clue if he didn't get close to it, so he had to walk over and approach the skeleton from the side, and his movements were gentle and careful, as if he was a living thing.

Suddenly, Lao Wang felt that something was dazzling, and the experience of random space experience told him that this was a polished metal surface that was reflective, but on this ship, all the things that could reflect the light were already old, how could there be such a situation.

Wang Mancang looked at the source of the light, and found that the knife that was shining was the handle of the dagger stuck in the captain's chest, and he waited for a while, and did not rush to hold the knife, but leaned closer, squinting his eyes and observing carefully.

I saw this row engraved on the handle of the sword: "Dear Simon, congratulations on becoming the youngest captain and the happiest bridegroom in all England." - Love your Cecilia. ”

Wait a minute, there is embroidery on the corner of the hat, indicating that the deceased's name starts with S, S-Simon!

"Or kill people with a dagger given by someone else's wife, it's really enough for a beast. Lao Wang muttered to himself, frowning and continuing to think.

Among all the old furnishings, only this knife is still brand new, and when I first entered the cabin, I didn't find this knife glowing, as if it was a unique situation after getting closer, that is, everything about this bizarre old ship has something to do with this dagger, and if you want to leave or solve the mystery of this ship, the root section is on this dagger.

Lao Wang thought of this and took a deep breath, his hand slowly grasped the hilt of the knife, he did not pause, held the dagger, gently pumped out, and pulled the knife out without much effort.

Just as he was about to take a closer look at the whole picture of the dagger, he saw that the head of the skeleton captain suddenly turned, staring straight at Lao Wang in the dark hole, and the upper and lower jaws that had long been skinless opened and closed, and I don't know where a resentful and angry male voice came from.

"Who is it? who drew this cursed knife that reminds me of that endless pain?"

Lao Wang's courage is medium to large, but he is very familiar with the urine nature of space, and he has long known that this skeleton should have something to move, so he has some preparations in his heart, although he was still startled, but he quickly calmed down, and saw that the other party did not come up and started directly, that is, there is still room for negotiation, and it is not good to say that there is a world exploration mission or something, so he straightened his chest and bent down to salute.

"Dear Sir, like you, I am also a captain, from the United Republic of the Netherlands, and my name is Onis van der Kamp. ”

"The Republic of the Netherlands?" the skeleton wondered, "How long have I been dead, isn't the Netherlands a Spanish Low Country? When did it become a federation?"

"I don't know, but it should have been some time. "How can the time old king in the trial world say accurately, he casually perfunctory a few words to the skeleton.

"Yes, none of this matters, I'm still a cursed soul myself, and I care about the alternation of power in these countries. There was no expression on the skeleton's face, but there was a thick sourness in his tone.

Lao Wang saw that the flesh of the skeleton was rotten, and he was still stabbed to death by the token sent by his wife, and the grievance story of the stomach was estimated to be the old nose, and he still had a treasure exploration mission, and he didn't understand the details of the skeleton, so he said politely to the skeleton.

"I sympathize with your plight, but my ship met your ship at sea, I don't know why, I appeared on your ship inexplicably, I guess you also know how much a ship needs her captain, just like a wife needs her husband, so can you please let me go?"

"Ah~, it's an acute child, but young peers, you should know that it's not so easy to leave when you encounter a ghost ship at sea, hehehe. ”

There seemed to be a faint green glow in the skeleton's eye sockets, and the clattering of the upper and lower jaws gave out a night owl laugh.
