Chapter 77: Voyager of the Underworld
I saw that the black sea in front of me was now arched by something below, and the waves rose sharply, and the ghost ship also rose sharply under the support of the waves.
And as the sea slid down from the sky in all directions, Sigur could see clearly what was holding the ghost ship on top at the moment.
It was a huge skull full of braids, the skull was dark black, and the two eye sockets were huge enough to pass through a dozen Blue Gems, and there were no eyeballs, and they were white. The mouth has no lips, revealing tightly arranged Senran teeth.
From a distance, it was clearly a huge black skeleton!
The previous ghost ship was nothing more than a raised trinket on the top of the black skull's head!
"This ...... Is this what the ghost ship really is? Sieg could barely stand at the moment, but the rest of the ship screamed in fright and fled into the cabin one by one.
Because the passage was so narrow, the panicked sailors screamed and shoved into the cabin, as if trying to escape the scene in front of them.
"It's useless. Sieg shook his head helplessly, the skeleton was only showing a head at the moment, and if it slapped it, the waves would be enough to capsize the Blue Jewel.
The only thing that made Sieg somewhat reassuring was that the skeleton emerged from the sea, but instead attacked, calmly examining the ship.
Even Sieg vaguely felt that the skeleton's white eyes seemed to be watching him!
The old captain on the side collapsed to the ground, looking at the skeleton in front of him with a very terrifying expression.
His fear was different from that of other sailors, and in addition to fear, he seemed to have a different kind of emotion mixed in with it.
The skeleton raised its head, was silent for a moment, and finally spoke.
"Dear Divine Blood, I am an Underworld Ranger wandering the Outer Plane, and I have been waiting here for a long time. The skeleton's words were muffled, and they turned into Dao sound waves.
"Bloody?" Sigurt noticed that the other seemed to be talking to him, and immediately thought of something.
"Hello Great Voyager of the Underworld. Sieg opened his mouth decisively.
Since the other party has spoken to him, and his tone is not hostile, then Sieg will naturally not let go of any chance to survive.
"When he says the Divine Blood, he should be referring to me. "Sigurt knows that there is a trace of the blood of the Lord of Gluttony in his body, although it is very weak, but after all, it is the blood of the Lord of Gluttony!
"We met last time. The giant skeleton continued, referring to the first encounter with the ghost ship.
"My duty is to travel the worlds and capture the dead who have fled from the underworld. As he said this, his attention suddenly shifted from Sigurd's side to the old captain, who was already twitching with fright.
The old captain was now slumped to the ground, struggling to run backwards.
Under the heavy pressure, it was good that he was a mortal who did not pass out, of course, this was because the skull controlled his momentum.
Everything, self-explanatory.
"I ...... I remember!" The old captain's eyes were full of fear, and at this moment he seemed to awaken some memory: "I don't want to go back...... No, never go back!"
"Rao...... Spare your life. The old captain seemed to be overwhelmed by the oppression, and said nervously and hard.
The parrot on his shoulder had already passed out from the coercion.
"But—" The giant skeleton turned, looked at Sieg, and said, "Since you're on this ship, I'm naturally not going to touch him." ”
It can be seen that this Underworld Ranger has some respect for Sigurd.
"Thank you. Sieg said lightly. It was the only expression he could show at the moment.
The Underworld Ranger on the other side is far beyond Sige's knowledge, even if it is the second-level magicians he saw before, he is probably not worth mentioning in front of him. Only the gluttonous eater seen in the Seeger illusion is much higher than it.
In the face of such a strong force, Sig is as weak as an ant, and if the other party wants to make a move, he only needs to blow lightly.
But fortunately, he seems to have identified himself as the [Divine Blood], and he has great respect for the title of Divine Blood.
Siger's mind moved, and it suddenly occurred to him that the reason why the ghost ship turned ninety degrees before was probably because he was aware of Sig's existence and didn't want to clash with him head-on.
Although he didn't know what the Underworld Ranger was, he didn't know what the Divine Blood was, and he didn't know what the relationship between them was, but that didn't stop him from talking to the giant skeleton.
Load, load!
"Later, I harvested the soul of a merchant ship as a snack, and then thought about it, and decided that it was necessary to come and meet you in person. After all, it was a great honor to meet a god-blood person in this low-level plane. The giant skull grinned with its tightly closed mouth.
It's just that this smile is a bit hideous and scary no matter how you look at it.
The skeleton continued, "My master, the great Lord of the Underworld and the Marauder of Souls, His Majesty Kalyus would like to pay tribute to you and the family behind you, and the most revered friendship, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future. ”
"It's my pleasure. Sieg agreed, pretending to be light-hearted.
Where does he have any family, but since the other party has released kindness, he also pretends to accept it and returns the kindness.
Although the other party's level is far beyond his own at the moment, it seems that because of the bloodline of the Lord of Gluttony in his body, the other party has some respect. It can even be said that it is ...... Please!
"May the path of your blood be unimpeded. The giant skeleton slowly sank into the sea after expressing the kindness of his master, Kaleus.
The whirlpool on the surface of the sea could not be calmed for a long time, and the ghost ship had already disappeared with the skeleton.
After a long time, Sig Fang breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his head.
......
The sea is vast and endless, and under the blue sea and blue sky, a few white seagulls fly freely.
Sieg sat in the captain's room, looked at the old captain in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Say, what's going on?"
The old captain has changed his face at this moment, and there is no fear before, more of a sense of prostration for the rest of his life.
"Lord Sig...... Thank you!" said the old captain from the bottom of his heart.
"Do you remember what I told you about the past......" The captain took a deep breath, looked at the calm sea outside the window, and said, "Actually...... My memory is incomplete. ”
"What do you mean?" said Sigurd, frowning.
"That day, my memory is actually frozen in the moment when the steamer accelerated wildly and tried to rush out of this mysterious sea, and then I crashed into the cabin and fainted. The old captain was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know what happened later, but when I woke up, I found that the ship was full of the mutilated corpses of my companions......"
"Because I ended up alive out of that sea and came to the port of the New World. So I subconsciously thought that I was the only one who escaped, but I just happened to pass out on the way. However, at the moment when the skeleton came to the surface, I suddenly had a lot of memories in my mind, and it was a memory of that night. ”
"What happened that night?" Sieg had a vague guess in his mind.
The old captain raised his eyes, looked at Sig slowly, and said, "That night...... We didn't escape, we all died. ”
Sieg slammed, "You're kidding me?"
"I don't really remember it before. The old captain explained with some trepidation: "It wasn't until we first encountered the ghost ship that I had a little memory in my mind. ”
"Now that you're dead, who is standing in front of me now?" said Sigurt lightly, but there was already a guess in his mind.
The old captain was silent for a moment, and finally spoke, "I...... Escaped from the underworld. ”
Really...
Sieg stared at him for a moment.
