"Hello, Captain Ethan. ”

Ethan's young appearance made several people look surprised, and what made them even more strange was that after such a period of time, there was no second person other than Ethan on this ship.

The men looked at each other, and they all showed a look of vigilance and fear, as if they had thought of something terrible, and finally Philip stood up and asked his question very carefully.

"Your crew...... Are you all resting?"

"No, I'm the only one on board. ”

Ethan didn't deliberately hide the truth, the condition of these people was not very good, he could feel that their strength was very different from his own, even if he was in his heyday, he could easily get rid of it, and he was not afraid that they would have any crooked thoughts.

After hearing that there was no one else on their ship, these people did not show the tendency to 'do a big job', but showed even more fear, and even unconsciously took a step back. Ethan noticed that the battle captain, Sean, actually glanced behind him, as if he was about to jump directly into the sea.

"I'm sorry, but I'm curious what you're afraid of?"

Ethan is not the dizzy type of person who likes to play guessing or talk in circles, and in this case he prefers to ask straight questions and directly understand why the other person is acting so strangely.

Hearing his question, the people were a little surprised at first, and then they realized something as if they were happy, and even let out a long breath.

"I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, because we just encountered a ghost ship before, which caused us to lose the ship and all our companions, and now we have a ship with no crew, so ......"

"Ghost ship?" Ethan was interested in what Philip called the ghost ship, but he explained in passing, "I have magic stone control equipment on my ship. ”

"Yes, we've thought of it. "Magic stone technology is not uncommon in this sea area, I didn't come out of the shadow before, I thought of the ghost ship by inertia, and almost forgot that there was such a thing as magic stone control.

It was precisely because of this reassurance that several people collapsed directly on the deck, unable to stand up even if they wanted to.

"Rest here first, and I'll go and get some food and water for you. ”

"Thank you very much for your generosity, Captain Ethan. ”

First mate Philip took off his hat and thanked Ethan, as did the other two, who seemed to be in worse shape and unable to speak.

Ethan quickly brought food and water, and some fruit for the people to replenish their missing physical strength and nutrients, and only when they had eaten some and the expression on their faces became much better, it didn't look like they could fall down at any time and never get up again, and then he asked the question he was very interested in.

"You said you encountered a ghost ship?"

It was still the first mate Philip who replied, and it seemed that the other two people trusted and respected the first mate, and they would not interject when Philip spoke, but would only nod their heads in agreement.

"It was a huge ghost ship, and he disguised himself as a shipwrecked ship to send a distress signal, and that's how our Advance was tricked into getting to that ship and then going down. ”

"All of them were wiped out, and only the three of you escaped?"

He didn't understand that if the ghost ship had tricked them into boarding the ship to kill the crew, then they just needed to leave in time to avoid the ship's destruction, right?

"Yes, we immediately wanted to stay away from the strange ghost ship as soon as we realized that something was wrong, but suddenly there was a thick fog that prevented us from seeing our surroundings clearly, and no matter how we sailed, it seemed to be circling in a circle, and every time night came, strange things began to happen on our ship. ”

As if remembering the horrors of those days, the faces of several people who had just recovered turned pale again.

"Later we realized that the evil spirits had set their sights on us, and if we continued like this, our ship would become a ghost ship, so the captain ordered us to abandon the ship and disperse in the escape boats. ”

Speaking of this, the first mate Philip lowered his head: "We were scattered to all the escape boats, and there were at least a dozen people on each dinghy, but even on the dinghy, strange things often happened...... In the end, only our dinghy accidentally drove out of the strange sea full of fog, and the others ...... Not even the bodies remained. ”

Philip buried his face in his hands, dissatisfied that he couldn't get everyone out, but he felt powerless at the thought of the situation, and didn't know what to do.

"You've done a great job, you've managed to save your partner. ”

Ethan didn't know how to comfort him, after all, he hadn't experienced it, he didn't understand the situation at all, and he could only say something that didn't hurt.

Fortunately, there was the right person around him who could comfort Philip, so that the old man, who was old enough to be Ethan's father, would no longer cry like a child.

After the mood calmed down, Philip wiped the tears from his face: "It makes you smile." ”

Ethan shook his head and said he didn't mind, he wanted to ask the ghost ship and all the weird things going on on their ship, but he suddenly realized that it wasn't the right time, and he didn't seem to need to waste his words.

"Is that the ghost ship you talked about like that?"

Philip was stunned for a moment, then followed Ethan's finger and looked sideways to see a ship he was very familiar with.

It was a large galleon of the size of a Galen, with all the sails worn out, and the sound of hunting in the sea breeze. There were also many dilapidated parts on the hull, and Ethan was surprised that the ship could still float steadily on the sea, and even the waves did not affect him one after another, and it was very stable and did not look like a broken ship at all.

"No!" Philip's expression was very complicated, and he didn't know how to describe it for a while, and his trembling voice contained shock, despair, and disbelief: "That's our ship, it's the Advance!"

Ethan's eyelids jumped, and things seemed to get even more interesting, and he took out his binoculars to take a closer look at the ship, and finally saw the ship's name on the side of the bow: the Advance.

It seems that this man did not have a state of confusion because he had just experienced a catastrophe, and he did not mistake his ship.

"How long did it take for you to encounter the ghost ship, then escape and be rescued by me?"

"Seven days have passed since I met the ghost ship and when I was rescued by Your Excellency. ”

"Seven-day ......"

Ethan picked up the binoculars again and looked at the ship that had never changed at a distance, carefully observing the details on it.

"Captain Ethan......"

"Huh?"

Philip's voice trembled visibly, and it seemed that the ghost ship had left a very large psychological shadow on him.

"Hurry up and turn around. ”

When sailing, if the wind direction and speed are right, the sail layout can be choked and the steering wheel can be locked and let it run forward on its own - provided that it is in a vast sea area where there is absolutely no reef as far as the eye can see.

Only when the wind direction is complicated or sailing against the wind, it is necessary to adjust the sails and direction frequently, and Ethan often chooses a lazier way to sail downwind in order to facilitate his own exercise at sea.

At this time, the Dawning Goddess is sailing straight forward with the wind, and if it follows this speed and direction, it may soon be able to meet the Advance of the suspected ghost ship.

"There's no need, haven't you noticed that the distance between us has never changed?"

Ethan had already noticed this, the ghost ship seemed to be parked at sea, but in fact it had been moving at about the same speed as the Dawning Goddess, and the distance between the two had not changed at all, and Ethan didn't even need to try to know that his ship had been targeted by the other party.

"Oh my God!" Philip hugged his head, and suddenly understood something: "We didn't run away at all, and the horrible undead just deliberately let us out to attract more prey." ”

He didn't think that he could escape this time, although Captain Ethan next to him had a good big ship and was equipped with magic stone equipment, but in the face of strange things like ghost ships, these things didn't seem to play a big role.

Philip is an experienced first mate, of course he knows what the posture of the ship under his feet is when it is moving at full speed, he has just noticed that this ship has been in a state of full speed with the wind, and this kind of appearance cannot get rid of the ghost ship, proving that the other party has no less speed than this ship.

At sea, speed decides a lot. The side with the advantage of speed can take a lot of initiative, and the side that suffers will even be bullied to death by the other party.

With the endless sea level, you can see each other's environment from a good distance, which can really make people experience what it means to be unable to fight if you want to fight, and you can't run if you want to.

Now, they are the underdogs.

Ethan patted Philip on the shoulder: "Since you can't hide, let's think about how to deal with it." ”

Philip straightened his chest again, and put on the hat that had been pinched in his hand and was about to be crushed: "I'm sorry, Captain Ethan, but we caused you a trouble. ”

"Even without you, this guy would have found me in the direction I was heading, so you don't have to feel guilty. ”

Philip shook his head, he still felt that it was the appearance of himself and others that implicated Ethan, how guilty he would be The main reason for this is that Ethan is too young, look at him at such a young age to have a good ship, he should have a bright future, not to be buried in the hands of the undead.

Ethan didn't continue to ask Philip about the ghost ship, the ghost ship was already eyeing him, so they would definitely come over, and then he would know what the ghost ship was all about.

At the same time, it can also let this group of undead know about his Ethan's methods.
