It's the Fish of Death! It's the pirate Robert's Fish of Death!" Among the passengers on the Ice Queen, many of whom had studied the legendary pirates, easily recognized the ghostly ship from its features such as the flag and the bow portrait.

In those days of maritime adventures, there were all sorts of legendary pirates, but there were very few controversial pirates like the Deathfish.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is controversial because he is indistinguishable from evil, because he often rescued slaves at sea, distributed the money he stole to the poor in need, and founded the first charitable organization in Mozambique, the Brotherhood of the Poor, and it is no exaggeration to say that his reputation among the common people even surpassed that of kings.

And he is said to be evil because he robs ships and never leaves a living mouth, once he finds the target, he will kill all the people on the ship and rob all the treasures on the ship, so in terms of the number of people killed in his hands, the number of people who died in his hands even far exceeded that of several pirate kings.

Such a highly controversial person is naturally the object of much attention by the navies of various countries, and even in order to solve this great pirate, the two rivals of the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Sigma have secretly cooperated several times.

However, because of the popularity of the great pirate Robert among the civilians of the colony, he was often able to get help from the civilians, and he was able to save the day several times of encirclement and suppression.

However, luck does not often come to a person, and soon after a planned robbery is completed, he finds himself surrounded by the fleets of the navies of the two sea kingdoms, and the merchant ship he had robbed before, both the cargo and the people on board were bait set by the two countries.

After confirming that all retreats were blocked, the legendary pirate Robert had to find another way out, and that way out was to enter the Falling Star Sea and bypass the encirclement from the Falling Star Sea.

As a result, Robert's pilot, the Deathfish, and his crew entered the sea of falling stars, never to come out again.

Although it has also been rumored that Robert has actually escaped from the encirclement of the two countries, sailed to the Moisan continent in a ship, and then gave up his profession as a pirate, using the proceeds of his years of robbery to live a prosperous life.

Some people even claimed that Robert Jr., the current speaker of the House of Representatives of the Kingdom of America, was a descendant of the legendary pirate Robert, but this incident was later proven to be a deliberate rumor spread by Robert's political enemies.

Now after everyone saw the ghost ship that appeared in the fog in the distance, they all clearly realized in their hearts that the rumors in the outside world were probably false, and the Fish of Death entered the sea of falling stars back then, and it was really not able to escape again.

While the passengers on board are excited about the sudden appearance of the pirate ghost ship, Leo's attention is on the ship itself.

Because when the ship entered his spiritual net, he used the spiritual net to probe inside and outside the ship.

As the legend goes, there was no one on the ghost ship, and the decorations of the various parts of the ship were still the same as before, and Leo could even see that there was an unfinished diary in the captain's room, and the pen used to write the diary was still resting on the pen stand next to it, and it felt like the captain had written the logbook halfway through and was called out, and never returned.

If it was just an empty ship with no people, Leo would not have any interest in an empty ship floating on the sea, but for some reason, Leo felt as if there was an unknown life hidden on the ship, but this life seemed to be able to avoid his spiritual network, so that the spiritual network could not perceive its correct position, and could only vaguely sense the existence of life on the ship.

"That's not a good thing!" said Old Belen, who walked over to Leo's side and looked at the ghost ship with some concern.

"It's just a ghost ship. Although Leo was a little puzzled by the hidden lifeforms on the ghost ship, he didn't feel any danger from the ghost ship, so he looked at Old Belen with some puzzlement.

"Death Fish......" Old Belen was about to say something, but was stopped by the old captain who came over.

I saw the old captain point to the ordinary passengers who were discussing the ghost ship, and then to the aft lookout where the rudder was located, and gestured to speak there.

Old Belen did not object, nodded, and walked over to that side, and Leo followed without asking.

After the three of them reached the stern, old Belen looked at the old captain and said, "Did you say it, or did I say it?"

"Let me tell you! You don't know much after all, it's mostly hearsay. The old captain took the initiative to take over the topic, and then said to Leo with a little seriousness: "There are many legends about ghost ships, and there are many people who have seen ghost ships, but most of the ghost ships appear far away and will not cause any harm to the discoverer, but the Death Fish is ......different."

As he spoke, the old captain couldn't help but pause, looked at the Death Fish in the thick fog, and said: "The Death Fish is the most vicious ghost ship, its appearance generally brings death, there have been more than thirty ships that have encountered the Death Fish at sea, and the people on more than twenty of them have all disappeared, and the remaining dozen or so ships are still alive, but people are crazy, even if they ask, they will only answer some words that have no meaning." ”

"And what are you going to do now?" asked Leo in a deep voice.

The old captain said in a deep voice, "I will increase the speed of the Queen to the maximum and see if I can get rid of this ghost ship." ”

"What if not?" questioned Leo, "and from all the rumors I've heard, it doesn't seem like the speed of the ship has any effect on the ghost ship. ”

The old captain hesitated for a moment, and said: "If not, I hope that you can hire your Excellency to go up and check the situation before the ghost ship approaches, and it is best if it can be solved in advance, if not, I also hope that Your Excellency can find out something useful." ”

Hearing the old captain's request, Leo frowned, but did not immediately refuse, in fact, he was indeed very interested in ghost ships, after all, this kind of mysterious thing often has some unexpected surprises, of course, it can also be accidental fright.

So after thinking about it for a moment, Leo looked at the old captain with great interest, and said, "At what cost are you going to pay to hire me to do this? ”

At this time, Old Belen saw that Leo was going to agree to the old captain's hire to explore the ghost ship, so he wanted to stop Leo from making a decision, but was stopped by the old captain's angry look full of warning.

In order to prevent old Belen from getting involved, the old captain changed Leo's mind, so he immediately made a condition: "Aren't you deciphering the secret language of the tower? I have here a secret language interpretation note from the apprentice of the wizard of the tower, which may be useful to you." ”

"You know I'm deciphering the Tower's Whispers?" Leo frowned, then turned to look at Old Belen, who seemed to be the only one present who knew that he had a wizard's spellbook note in his hand and knew what he was doing.

"That's what I said. Old Belen showed an embarrassed look on his face, then turned his head to glare at the old captain, and said: "It's just that I didn't expect him to have such a mind, I just thought that he was ready to thank you for what you did in Shackle Harbor and was ready to prepare a gift for you, but I didn't expect him to be like this." ”

Leo did not blame Old Belen, and after asking why, he said to the old captain, "Yes, as long as the secret words in that apprentice's notebook are true, I will agree to accept your employment." ”

"Rest assured, the notebook comes from William of Mirith, who was a court wizard in Dalyat for seventeen years and helped Dalyat establish some contacts with the Tower," said the old captain with a smile on his face, "If Your Excellency is interested in the affairs of the Tower, I am sure that Her Majesty will be pleased to visit Dalyat if you have time." ”

Leo looked at the old captain and said in a deep voice, "Did you make this invitation, or did your queen tell you to say so?"

The old captain paused for a moment, said nothing more, and after saluting Leo, he turned and walked down the lookout, and went down to his captain's quarters, ready to turn on the hidden power of the ship and speed up the ship.

The passengers on deck, at his request, were all driven back to the cabin by the sailors.

"You shouldn't have promised that. Old Belen sighed and said.

"Why?" asked Leo.

Belen the Elder explained: "Five years ago, a research ship of the English royal family encountered the Death Fish, and at that time there were four senior agents of the Special Bureau on that research ship, who were also priests of the Poseidon Church, and they were the priests who really possessed divine magic, and as a result, like other ships, they were all missing, leaving only an unfinished diary on the ship, indicating that they could not get rid of the Deathfish, so they had to board the ghost ship to solve the matter." ”

"I'm neither a Special Bureau agent nor a clergyman of the Church. Leo replied in a bottleneck, implying that old Belen should not apply the example of failure to him.

Old Belen didn't know what to say about this, although Leo was a little arrogant, but in a way he was right, at least from these days of getting along, Old Belen could feel that the young wizard in front of him had a little unimaginable power, and in the eyes of others, it was a catastrophe, but in his eyes it was just a trivial matter.

At this time, Leo suddenly asked suspiciously: "There is one thing I don't understand, since the Death Fish is so dangerous, why haven't you heard any relevant legends outside? Judging from the behavior of those passengers just now, it is obvious that they regarded this ghost ship as an ordinary and harmless ghost ship, otherwise they would not have behaved so stable and had no fear at all." ”

Old Belen also looked a little puzzled, shrugged his shoulders, and casually said a reason: "I don't know this very well, maybe to avoid unnecessary panic!"

Hearing this reason, Leo shook his head, and was about to say something, when suddenly the hull of the ship under his feet shook, and then Leo found that the speed of the Ice Queen had increased rapidly without any change in the outside wind speed, and soon the bottom of the ship was gliding like a speedboat.

Although the ship was protected by a special energy shield, the sudden acceleration still made it difficult for the people on deck to stand still, and the sailors had to tie ropes to their bodies to avoid the strong thrust to throw themselves out, while Leo could easily use psionic energy to cling to the ground. As for Old Belen, though he was an ordinary man, he behaved better than the sailors by virtue of his superior balance, his body swayed with the ship, and he did not use ropes and was not in danger of being thrown off the deck.

At this time, Leo opened the spiritual network and explored the interior of the Ice Queen, as he thought, he saw the different combinations of the Turing root of the Ice Queen, and once again admired the maker of the Ice Queen, after all, most of the power of the three-dimensional root was imitated with the Turing root, and there would be no backlash, which was only possible if the mastery of the Turing root reached an extremely profound level, at least Leo could be sure that he would not be able to reach this level for a long time.

On the other side, the elder Belen had already adjusted to the speeding up of the Ice Queen, but the surrounding environment still made him feel a little nervous, so he said hello to Leo and prepared to enter the cabin.

"Wait, I have a question. As Belen the Elder was about to step down from the observation deck, Leo suddenly stopped him.

Old Belen grabbed the railing of the staircase and looked back at Leo.

Leo said, "You know that some of the people who encountered the Deathfish survived, and they were all crazy and could only speak languages they didn't understand. ”

Old Belen showed a trace of sadness on his face, nodded and said, "I know, in fact, there is another one who is friends with me, very good friends. ”

"Do you know how to pronounce that language?" asked Leo again.

Old Belen was stunned for a moment, looked at Leo in puzzlement, and suddenly showed a sudden expression, and said: "I know, Rembrandt always said that you have a unique talent in language, you want to see what clues there are in the languages spoken by those people, right? Unfortunately, you will be disappointed, in fact, many linguists have studied those languages, including Rembrandt, and finally concluded that those languages have no meaning." ”

Leo said in a flat tone: "Let's hear it, whether it has a meaning, I will judge it myself." ”

Hearing Leo say this, Old Belen didn't talk nonsense anymore, and directly said a string of sounds that sounded like bird calls and some kind of whistle.

Old Belen changed several voices, repeated them twice before stopping, and looked at Leo, but he didn't find anything from Leo's face, which was as he expected, so he didn't ask more, turned around and walked down the lookout, and entered the cabin.

However, Old Belen didn't notice that after she left, Leo's face became a little strange, and then he turned his head to look at the ghost ship looming in the thick fog, following the Ice Queen, with a thoughtful expression, as if the inexplicable cry of Old Belen just now had provided him with some information.
