"What shall we do now?" asked the first mate, who had walked up to the old seagull after everyone had recovered from the out-of-control emotion.

"Turn around, let's go over there and take a look, maybe we'll find something!" said the old seagull, who was silent for a moment, and ordered the crowd.

Hearing the order, although the crew was a little reluctant, they still followed the old seagull's order, turned the bow of the ship, raised the sails, and sailed in the direction where the huge island had fallen.

The old seagull's boat sailed very fast, and it didn't take much time to come to the vicinity of the sea where the island had fallen, but the sea was very calm, and there was nothing unusual in the slightest, and it found anything useful.

"Could those just now be phantoms of the sea?" the first mate stepped forward and asked suspiciously.

The old seagull shook his head and said, "Have you ever seen such a vision of the sea?"

Visions of the sea are not uncommon to those who have been on the sea for many years, and almost every sailor can encounter them once or twice a year, but all the visions they see are very illusory, and by no means as real as they have just seen.

However, the old seagull's reason for judging that the scene just now was not a sea illusion was not his past experience, but that after he carefully recalled it, he was almost certain that the island he had just seen and fell from the sky was the mysterious island for his trip.

Judging from what he had just seen, there must be something wrong with that mysterious island, so he wanted to know what was going on there.

The curious old seagull walked up to the rudder, motioned for the helmsman to get out of the way, and then turned the rudder in his hand, and steered the ship towards the depths of the sea.

He didn't know what he was looking for when he sailed into the waters, but he always had a feeling that he was going to find something here.

The boat had been traveling for about half an hour, when suddenly the people on the lookout shouted a few words and pointed in a direction.

The old seagull immediately twisted the rudder and steered the boat in the direction pointed by the lookout.

It wasn't long before the sailors who stood at the bow of the ship and looked out loudly shouted, "There are people, there are people there." ”

Hearing the shout, the old seagull handed the rudder to the helmsman beside him, and ran quickly to the bow of the boat, and looked ahead.

I saw a person floating there on the sea in front of me, floating with the waves, looking like a crew member in distress. It's just that the sharp-eyed old seagull can easily recognize that this person should not have been in the water for a long time, not the kind of dead person who has been in the water for a long time and his body has been soaked to swell many times.

"Whether it's dead or alive, scoop him up first. The old seagull immediately shouted a command to his men, and then looked at the man floating on the sea with a puzzled look in his eyes. Although there was no basis for it, the old seagull still had a feeling that the thing he insisted on looking for back and forth in this sea area was this person.

"I felt that something was wrong. The first mate stepped forward at this time, also looked at the person who was approaching on the sea, and said cautiously.

"Why do you think so?" asked the old seagull rhetorically.

"He doesn't look like a man who has been in the water for a long time, but like he has just fallen into the water. The first mate's sea experience is no less than that of the old seagull, and he naturally easily saw the situation of the man who fell into the water on the sea, "This sea area and on any route, the ocean current does not pass through here, even if it falls into the water on a nearby route, it is impossible to float here, and ...... just now" As he spoke, he paused, did not finish his words, and said: "In short, this person appeared strangely, we should not easily fish him up." ”

The old seagull did not use other words to prevaricate the first mate, but calmly asked, "Have you forgotten the rules of our seafarers?"

The first mate opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and he stepped back and went about his own thing.

For everyone who is begging for a living at sea, it is only a matter of time before they are shipwrecked, and after encountering a disaster, they naturally hope that they can meet a ship and get rescue, and no one wants to see a ship passing by without extending a rescue hand to themselves. And those who have not been shipwrecked are worried about whether they will be rescued by passing ships when they are shipwrecked.

So, under the influence of this common worry, all those who beg for a living at sea will abide by the unwritten rule that whenever they encounter a shipwreck, they will spare no effort to rescue them.

Although this rule does not appear in the laws of any country, and no country recognizes the legitimacy of this rule, its effect far exceeds that of any other law in the world, and it can be said that all people at sea will abide by it, including the navies of all countries.

The most famous story about this rule of unconditional rescue at sea is a naval battle between the Kingdom of Sigma and the Kingdom of Inge, in that naval battle, a ship of the Kingdom of Inge sank an enemy ship, and then they followed the rules of sea rescue to rescue the soldiers of the Imperial Navy who fell into the water, and the other warships around did not attack the ship, and those navy of the Kingdom of Sigma were rescued, and they did not do anything like taking the opportunity to seize the ship, but honestly took prisoners.

Ten minutes later, the ship of the Kingdom of Inge was also sunk, and this time it was the turn of the ships of the Kingdom of Sigma to rescue, and the other warships stopped attacking the rescue warship.

In such a naval battle in which five fleets participated, although the losses of the ships were huge, the casualties were few, and none of them were far less than drowned.

So when the old seagull said this rule, no matter how good the first mate was to worry, he couldn't say anything more.

The sailors on the ship skillfully rescued the shipwrecked from the sea, although they were not able to judge the victim's condition from a long distance like the old seagull and the first mate, but after rescuing the victim at close range, they could still tell that the victim should have just fallen into the water, and it seemed that he should still be alive.

"Let's go, let's go, don't stand here stupidly, don't you all do things? Now go and move all the ballast cargo back. The first mate walked over, shouted a few words at the crowd, and then walked to the victim's side, squatted down, reached out and touched the pulse on the victim's neck, and after feeling the strong pulse transmitted by his fingers, he turned his head and nodded to the old seagull, and then stood up and asked, "What now?"

The old seagull did not answer immediately, but squatted down and searched the victim's body, and found some bits and pieces, but those items were just some common items, and there was nothing peculiar, only a stump of a ticket caught his attention.

He picked up the stump of the ticket and looked at it, with a look of surprise on his face, and he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"What's wrong? The first mate asked.

"Look. The old seagull handed the stump of the ticket in his hand to the first mate.

The first mate took the ticket and looked at it, and immediately showed a look of surprise, and couldn't help but ask: "Is he a passenger on the Queen Mary who disappeared half a year ago?"

"It should be. The old seagull nodded, and then he stood up and commanded his men beside him, "Move him to the guest room, and when he wakes up, we will know what happened on board the Queen Mary." Then, walking briskly to the rudder, he shouted to the sailors on deck: "Pull up the sails, and we will sail back." ”

"Oh!" all the sailors immediately became refreshed, swept away the dullness of the previous moment, cheered one after another, and ran to their posts to busy themselves with their own business.

The sailing ship with its sails swept across the water as fast as it was propelled by the wind, and the rocking hull seemed to the sailors on board as if they were standing on the ground, balancing their bodies while singing the sailors' songs.

The old seagull, who stood beside the rudder, looked at these enthusiastic sailors with a rare smile on his face, but at the same time a little sadness, because he knew that soon such sailboats would disappear from the sea, and that the final destination of these sailors might be the boiler rooms of those steamships.

In fact, a long time ago, when he saw a steamship, he knew that the era of sails had come to an end, but he still retained a passion for sailboats, and wanted to enjoy the fun of sailing on the sea before sailboats completely retired from the stage of history.

It's just that he couldn't have imagined that the steamships were so fierce and so rapid, and in just a few years, steamships have become the mainstream of ships at sea, and in the past six months, with the appearance of steamships with increasing carrying capacity, sailboats have rarely been seen on the sea.

For the first time, the old seagull was tired of sailing, and he did not tell his men that he was going to wait until he had completed the order for the medical school, and that he would not go to sea again, and that he would sell the ship, and give the money from the sale to his men who had followed him for many years on the ship to settle down, and that he would use the connections he had established in the past to introduce them to some reliable jobs.

And he himself might go back to his home in Sigma and stay in his study to write a book about his years at sea, after all, he still holds the title of a best-selling author, even if he has only written a book for so many years.

Soon it was night, and the old seagull handed over the matter to the first mate, turned and prepared to go back to his captain's room, and wrote down what he had seen and heard on the captain's diary. It was only when he touched the door of the captain's cabin that he stopped again, turned and walked outside the cabin of the lower cabin.

The old seagull pushed open the cabin door, walked in, picked up the familiar lamp stuck next to the cabin door, lit it, and shone it into the cabin.

I saw that the victim who was rescued during the day was lying quietly on the bed, breathing very heavy and long, and there seemed to be no problem.

The old seagull looked at each other, frowning, and a little uneasy in his heart.

In fact, the first mate also had the same concerns, and even now he felt that the victim was strange, and even had the urge to throw the victim back into the sea.

"Who are you?" said the old seagull to himself.

I don't know why the old seagull thinks that this person should be a person from the mysterious island, because the mysterious island destroyed him before falling into the water.

In fact, the old seagull had a secret about the mysterious island that he never told anyone, because he knew that the mysterious island was inhabited.

According to common sense, it is not a big deal that an island is inhabited, and it should not be necessary for him to hide it for so many years, but the question is what if the people who live there may be dead people?

The old seagull remembers what happened when he stumbled upon the mysterious island and led his men into the depths of the island in search of useful resources, when he and his men were attacked by inexplicable creatures, and they had to flee in all directions, and eventually he and his men got separated, and after passing through a huge dense forest, he came to a beach.

The sight of that beach is still deeply engraved in his memory, because there are countless ships that are famous in the world of Velon, and these ships have all been proven to be shipwrecked and sunk to the bottom of the sea, and now the wreckage of these ships has been piled up on this beach, which makes people feel extremely strange after looking at it.

Even more bizarre was what happened later in the evening, when he saw a ghost that made him know that the world was not as simple as he had thought it would be, and that he also saw traces of human habitation near that beach.

After leaving there, the old seagull had vowed never to approach this mysterious island again, but what he didn't expect was that an extinct ancient badger would climb onto his ship without his knowledge, and finally a series of events happened, which caused a lot of worldly pressure to fall on him, but he had to land on the mysterious island again.

In fact, seeing the mysterious island fall from the sky during the day, and when it was about to fall to the surface of the sea, the old seagull's heart was very happy, because so many people saw that the mysterious island disappeared, and it would definitely spread out, so he would no longer have to be pressured from all sides to run to the mysterious island to catch any ancient badgers.

But now the sudden appearance of the victim of the Queen Mary made him feel that this might be another trouble, because the disappearance of the Queen Mary half a year ago was a very special thing in the Kingdom of England, the French Empire and the surrounding countries, and various countries sent a lot of fleets to search around the route of the Queen Mary, but in the end they found nothing.

It is rumored that the reason why countries attach so much importance to the Queen Mary is because the Queen Mary has something very important to both the Kingdom of England and the French Empire, and all countries attach so much importance to an ordinary passenger and cargo ship like the Queen Mary.

Although half a year has passed, the search fleets of various countries have long been disbanded, and the outside world seems to have lost interest in the Queen Mary, but all this is based on the fact that there is no news from the Queen Mary, if the news of the appearance of a surviving passenger of the Queen Mary spreads, then it will inevitably trigger the boom of half a year ago again, and the old seagull, who is very familiar with that sea area, will definitely not be able to escape the result of being recruited by various countries.

Thinking of this, the old seagull couldn't help but feel a little worried, and regretted the act of handing over the stump of the ticket to the first mate just now.
