Chapter 37: Auspicious Fall from the Sky

"Why?" said Daniel Morgan, who was caught off guard by Luca's refusal. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Because this ship—" Lukka said, reaching out and effortlessly ripping a piece of wood from the wall, "it's so old!"

"How dare you destroy my ship!How dare you slander my flagship!How dare you despise my capital!" Anger took control of the ghost again, but presumably under the influence of the previous oath, he did not make any substantive attacks, just glared at Luka.

Lukka quickly shook off a hand of wood slag: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I really didn't mean that." ”

Seeing that the other party was still staring at him, he frowned a little embarrassed: "Look, this ship is really great, incomparably great! But, it's been four hundred years, even if the wood is not broken, but technology is advancing, you can see what the current ship looks like, it has changed a lot." ”

Lukka said as he walked back to the table and sat down on a chair: "Secondly, we have only four people and one bird here, and there are not enough people to drive away from such a large ship!"

He rubbed the sore muscles on his thighs and continued: "And most importantly, the original name of this ship was 'Xiangrui'......?"

"Don't you believe that?" Ollie muttered quietly.

Listening to this unreliable justification, Daniel Morgan seems to have come to his senses from his anger. He looked down at the mossy deck, glanced at the crumbling walls, and sighed, as if he had made up his mind.

Then, he closed his eyes and grasped the scepter in both hands, his translucent body trembling slightly.

From the top of the scepter, a soft golden light suddenly appeared, not as bright as a mist, slowly soaking into the wooden table, deck, walls, and even the entire giant ship.

Each part affected by this light shimmered with golden light, rapidly changing its form with a speed visible to the naked eye. The decaying planks were brought back to life, and the shape of the ship was changing rapidly like building blocks.

Five minutes later, the 400-year-old "Xiangrui" appeared in front of Luca and the others in a completely different form.

The size has not changed, and the giant ship is still the same behemoth as before.

But her shape, from the ancient form of 400 years ago, has changed to the most advanced and fluid shape of the present. The decks and walls, which had been stained with slippery algae, have been replaced by new solid panels, as if freshly painted, giving them the sparkle and confidence of a new ship. The ship's guns have also been replaced with the latest models that the Sunset Islands have improved in recent years. Even the decoration on the outside of the boat has become the latest trendy ornament.

The ghost Daniel Morgan floated up to Luka with a scepter in his hand:

"For hundreds of years, whenever I captured a boat, their improvements to the boat, those technological advances, I would not let go. It's just that I haven't wanted to change the appearance of the Xiangrui, maybe I want to remind myself of the things that happened here.

"After all, I am a ghost who has remained in the world because of 'revenge', and if I forget my original intention, if I lose my anger, what am I here for?

"But if I'm just immersed in memories all the time, what do I use to get revenge?

"In fact, a long time ago, the 'Xiangrui' had a new name, which is what you call the "Silent Death". Maybe now, it's time to give her a new look. ”

Speaking of this, Daniel Morgan sighed: "I don't care about kings, knights, or captains of this ship, I have only one purpose. ”

He raised his head, his eyes shining with a ghostly glow:

"You, mage, will you help me get revenge?"

Lukka didn't answer right away.

To say that he has no idea about the ship is to lie. No pirate, no captain, would be indifferent to such a sea overlord.

But to accept the ship meant to be embroiled in Daniel Morgan's centuries-old vengeance, in the forgotten battle, in the strife and intrigue between the gods, in the violent conflict between magic and blood magic.

And this kind of situation, which seems crazy enough, is just some superficial clues, after which will you get involved in an even more terrifying unknown?

Does he have the power to involve Ollie, Crete, and Nora in this situation?

He looked back at his companion.

Ollie spoke first, "What are you waiting for?"

Nora nodded repeatedly, and Crete did not express any objection.

"But do you know what it means to accept this ship?" Lukka was a little helpless.

"Hmm...... More fights?" Ollie said with a laugh.

"The cabin is bigger, so it can hold more food?" Nora's mouth watered.

"Yes. Crete didn't want to waste a word, but seeing Luka's expression, he added, "Don't worry, they know it." ”

Lukka finally smiled lightly, and he turned to face Daniel Morgan:

"I must explain in advance that your revenge target, even if I want to help, in this situation, I don't know where to start. If you give me the ship, the most likely thing is to let the ship follow me around. ”

The ghost thought for a moment and said, "I understand. It's better than being stuck here all the time, at least, leaving here might give me a little clue to my revenge. ”

Luca said solemnly, "Then, King Morgan, I accept this ship. ”

Daniel Morgan nodded in satisfaction: "Then, from now on, I will be your lieutenant, captain." ”

"Wait, adjutant, you mean you're going to get on the boat too?" Lukka didn't expect.

"I am inseparable from this ship, she is part of my soul. Glancing at Luca, he added, "It's not a metaphor. ”

"You didn't say that at first...... Lukka frowned, "besides, you're a ghost, although there are only a few of us on this ship now, if there are sailors on board in the future, it will scare them, right?"

He thought of old Bill, who didn't know what that face would distort if he saw a ghost.

"Sailor, why sailor?" asked the ghost, puzzled.

"How can such a large ship be moved without sailors, and Ollie can't manage five masts alone!" said Luca, gesturing at the huge mast.

"Well...... "Don't worry, this ship doesn't need sailors." Didn't you just say that? I'm the ship. ”

To illustrate his claim, he also pointed to the masts.

As he moved, the ropes on the mast that controlled the sails tightened, automatically controlling the direction and opening of the sails.

"Okay, but I'll take the helm!" Luca defended his control of the wheel, "Also, is it okay to change the name of this ship?"

"It's been changed a long time ago. The ghost replied.

Lukka looked closely, and the stern, bow, and middle of the steering wheel of the giant ship, as well as all the places that were originally marked with "Xiangrui", had been replaced with other words:

Silent Death.
