Chapter 291: Ghost Ship
As he got closer, through the thick fog that could barely be dissolved, Modo finally saw what the majestic object in front of him was, this thing as big as a mountain was actually a huge sea ship. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Whether it was in Golden Scale, an important port of the Roland Empire, or when Modo passed through those busy routes when he first went to sea, it can be said that he didn't know how many ships he saw.
There were all kinds of ships, such as warships, merchant ships, and fishing boats, but even the largest warship in it was as different from the huge sea ship in front of him, like a Modo standing next to the two-headed ogre overseer flint that was now in size.
Strangely, there was not even a single figure on the wide deck of the huge ship here, and the five huge masts arranged in the front and back of the ship were empty, so that the ship could only move with the slow flow of black water.
From the inside out, this huge sea ship has an inexplicable strange meaning, is it a 'ghost ship'?
Then, before Modo could make a decision, the fat dragon, who estimated that this huge sea ship might be able to withstand his own weight, felt that his wings were cramping after flying for too long, so he didn't care about anything, and landed directly on the middle deck of the sea ship.
Suddenly, Modo clearly felt that the huge ship had sunk down a lot, and began to shake violently from side to side, and at the same time, Modo's ears also heard the creaking sound of the deck suddenly being pressed against the weight.
After a while, the sea ship ended shaking and returned to stability, which also made the ghost ship, which was worried about how many years it had been, and was directly crushed by the weight of the fat dragon.
Finally able to rest, the solid touch under the body has brought the fat dragon an incomparable peace of mind, no matter what ghost ship it is or not a ghost ship, the current fat dragon is moved to cry, after landing at most more than 100 breaths, the fat dragon will enter a deep sleep.
Looking at the fat dragon Xiao Hei who was sleeping in the fragrance, Mo Duo couldn't help but feel a big sleepiness, but in the face of this weird huge sea ship, he didn't have a huge heart like the fat dragon, so he always had to investigate.
Summing up his spirits, Mo Duo began to carefully look at the big sea ship, but he just stood on the deck and roughly turned around, Mo Duo definitely came to a conclusion, this ship was built by the elves, and he was more than ninety percent sure that this big sea ship was one of the sea ships that those who went to sea in the remnants of the elf empire.
First of all, Modo could not find any race other than those elves who pursued art and elegance, who had reached the point of being almost sick, and who would have eaten enough to have nothing to do with such a huge sea ship, which was full of elaborate ornaments.
Truth be told, this labor-intensive project has no real effect at all, except to make this big ship look more beautiful.
Secondly, Modo examined the materials used on the lower deck and in the hull, which were made of iron teak, which was the most suitable for shipbuilding on the continent of Fira, which was not only strong and strong, but also much lighter than ordinary cedar trees of the same volume.
In addition, its resistance to corrosion and high temperatures of seawater is also several times stronger, and it has always been recognized as the best shipbuilding material, but unfortunately, this iron teak grows slowly, and it takes hundreds of years to grow from a sapling to a suitable ship.
A suitable iron teak log on the continent of Fira can often be sold for an astonishingly high price, and even then it is often priceless, and there is nowhere to buy it with money, and even in the most powerful maritime power, the Jose Empire, it is a strictly controlled strategic material, and it is not allowed to be exported at all.
Of course, the above knowledge was also learned by Modo by collecting relevant detailed information after he found the gem island and planned to build his own ship.
Modo estimates that thousands of years ago, the current mainstream race on the continent had not yet developed, so that the elves could all build such a large ship out of iron teak.
What surprised Modo even more was that these iron teak trees were also painted with some kind of secret paint by the elves, so that after so many years, the situation of this sea ship was still in good condition.
It's just that this mysterious paint, which can be called a revolutionary breakthrough in shipbuilding technology, completely disappeared from the vision of the races in the Fila continent after the elves withdrew to the so-called overseas continent, and finally could only become a sacred object in the word of mouth of shipbuilders.
Perhaps out of the urgent need for the improvement of shipbuilding technology, or simply for the huge economic value contained in this technology, both the Jose Empire and the alchemists affiliated to the Wizards' Guild have invested great manpower and material resources in the study of this secret paint.
But after so many years, there is still no force that dares to claim to have restored this secret paint, and even the Jose Empire, which has the strongest shipbuilding industry, has only researched an imitation with about one-tenth of the effect, and with this imitation that does not flow out of the Jose Empire at all, their nostrils can reach to the sky.
After confirming that it was the ship that the elven empire Yu Mai was on when he went to sea, Mo Duo began to be irrepressibly excited, and even the fatigue and sleepiness on his body suddenly disappeared.
Even if there is no route map on this ship to the big overseas islands of the elves, how can there be some relevant clues on this large ship that can accommodate thousands of people, not much better than flying south stupidly.
With this excitement and a little apprehension, Modo walked towards the staircase at the back of the deck, and then followed the staircase into the cabin.
After entering the cabin, Modo directly lit a whale oil lamp at the staircase, and then held the whale oil lamp in his hand, and looked at the interior of this sea ship, which may not have been set foot in for thousands of years, through the not very bright light.
To Modo's surprise, the cabin was unusually clean, without the cobwebs as expected, and there was not even much dust, and Modo estimated that this hellish place should not even survive spiders, so it would be so clean.
The cabin was neatly and orderly covered with large and small cabins, the doors of the cabins were mostly open, and the interior of the cabins was as elegant and delicate as ever.
Unfortunately, the fine ornaments and miscellaneous items were thrown all over the floor, and Modo searched with his eyes wide open, but found no trace of battle or blood.
Modo deduced that it was the ship's sailors and passengers who suddenly encountered some kind of irresistible danger and then urgently evacuated the place, which caused the mess.
"I don't know what kind of danger can make a fleet with a super strong person in charge be so flustered?" With this question in mind, Mordo walked straight to the captain's room at the end.
