Chapter 7: The Ghost Ship

I was wronged, you can't do that!

The captain was tied, curled into a shrimp, and squatted on the deck.

Beechcraft has a rope sleeve on the mast, even if it is a simple gallows.

"You're not wronged at all, you damn spy!"

Beech and Satsuma laughed at his side.

"You can't do this, you can't do this, you can't go to Alcatraz without me. ”

Beach looked up to the sky and laughed: "Stupid donkey, without you, and your first mate, your helmsman, give you one last chance, where is the seed you gave Sophia hidden!"

"I don't have that seed on my ship, no...."

Svek walked up to him with an unhurried pace.

"My lord...."

"Untie, Beechcraft, you're fooling!"

Svecker believed that the captain's room was innocent, and that they had not found the seeds of the same type in the hands of the wizard Sophia throughout the ship.

The problem, again, is in Sophia itself.

Satsuma: "Boss, are you sure?"

"Of course, not only do you have to release them, but you also have to apologize to the captain, and at the same time, I also warn you not to abuse lynching at every turn, this is not the palace, you are the captain's passengers, be polite to the captain. ”

After Toniel was released, he scolded: "Beechcraft, I remember you, I remember!"

Beach clenched his fist, and Sveek squinted at him, the irascible bear didn't dare to mess around.

"If you don't fight, you don't know each other, Captain, this is the end of this matter, what do you think of the wizard's methods? ”

Beach: "Sophia is a water wizard! sure, his spells only work when they touch water, head, don't you think so?"

The captain rolled his eyes: "Pig, the mage is divided into water, fire, and wind, she is a wizard, not a mage, and her spells do not belong to the same category as the mage's spells." ”

With Svecker's backing, the captain became less polite to Biech.

Satsuma despised him: "Tonier, don't think I don't know the details of this guy, you have done piracy, you have done illegal things in the slave trade, please pay attention to the way you speak! If you talk like that in Gorey Snow City, you will die a hundred times..."

Not to be outdone, the captain said: "I am now a legitimate taxpayer, and it is us taxpayers who feed you moths!"

"You dare to call the chief guard a moth?"

Satsuma pulls Sveck in.

"Enough is enough, gentlemen, stop arguing, let's get down to business, follow our ship, haven't seen it so far, captain, did you misjudge?"

Despite being manipulated by Sophia like this, Svek did not let up when it came to observing the stalker.

"My judgment will not be wrong, it is about to appear, my lord, I guess, in the next two days, they will appear. ”

At night, Svecker fiddled with the musket given to him by the bishop in his cabin, the musket under the oil lamp, I don't know if it was the effect of the light or the angle of view, it looked very gloomy.

He interrogated Sophia and forced her to tell her where the seeds came from, but she couldn't get in.

What Beach means is that if it is usual, according to the normal process, hang her up and beat her, no more, take off her clothes and beat her, I am not afraid that she will not say it, the palace guards have never seen any tricky people, what kind of people have not been tried, but for Sophia, the plague-like Beechcraft is respectful, and his psychological shadow on Sophia is boundless, especially after he was almost killed by the spell that Sophia made, he has a strong witchphobia.

Sophia didn't say anything, and Svek couldn't do anything about her for a while.

The first mate provided a clue, he said, Sophia is a wizard, bring a seed on the boat, that is not a difficult thing, the worst thing is what kind of seed is that seed, when it encounters water, it grows wildly, and the first mate also said that he once heard that in the west of the continent, there is a seed called the man-eating tree, which looks very similar to the seed in Sophia's hand.

When Svek heard this, he also felt furious, and he was worried that Sophia still had similar seeds in her hand, and if this girl was not happy, and if she did another trick of forest growth, then the whole ship would have to go down to the sea to feed the sharks.

He wanted to search for Fia's voice, but the other party was a woman, so it was inconvenient.

But Sveker's six men, one named Rodin, said, sir, don't worry, without sunlight, wizard seeds can't grow vines.

After hearing this, Svek was relieved, if Sophia thought about walking on the deck next time, I am afraid it would be difficult.

Sveker's mind has been full of Sophia casting spells for the past few days, which is incredible, he only understands the bishop's words now, to be fully aware of the danger of this mission, this is not yet Alcatraz....

Sveker wiped the musket and wiped it, and the shot of Sophia popping up.

He was behind, Sophia was in front, right under the idol, which seemed too cruel.

Ever since he covered Sophia's mouth that day, he noticed a problem, Sophia's lips were extremely soft, but also quite cold, and in retrospect, he seemed to be holding a soft ice cube, which was a strange feeling.

The musket was wiped down, and I looked at the pocket watch, eleven o'clock in the evening.

I heard Anna say that after getting on the boat, Sophia basically didn't have to sleep, just meditated and meditated.

He left the cabin and headed for Sophia.

At the door of Sophia's cabin, standing guard were Rodin and Gordon.

"How's it going?"

Rodin stood straight and saluted: "Sir, everything is normal!"

Sveck admired Rodin's professionalism, where there was an example of a standard soldier, he did not smile, and he carried out orders to the letter.

Gordon Tu and Rodin belong to the same kind of people, real cold-blooded animals, and the coldness makes Svek want to fire him.

Svek said to Gordon, "Good work. ”

Tu Gordon saluted, without saying a word, his eyes straight.

Svek was about to enter Sophia's cabin when suddenly the first mate hurriedly came and said, 'My lord, we found the guy who is following you!'

"Oh?"

Sveker got excited, and after a few days, the person who was following finally appeared.

At the stern of the Saint-Gois, the captain handed him a monocular.

Tonight, it is a full moon, the moon is bright, and in the binoculars, there is indeed a ship following unhurriedly.

"When did it appear?"

"Twenty minutes ago, the sailors on the lookout found it. ”

Svecker observed for a moment.

"Captain, lower the sails and slow down the boat. ”

The sails on both masts of the Saint-Gois were removed by the sailors, and the ship's speed slowed down.

The ship didn't seem to slow down.

Beechcraft: "It's moving fast towards us, head, it doesn't seem like it's tracking the ship, we're slowing down, he should slow down." ”

"Look again. ”

On the surface of the sea, what seems to be a close distance is actually much farther than the eye estimates.

At twelve o'clock in the morning, the ship was quite close to the St. Louis, three hundred meters above and below.

"There was no one in sight, there were no lights on the boat, it was pitch black. ”

Sveck put down his binoculars.

The captain took the binoculars, and he looked at them for a while: "It's strange, how can there be no light at all, and it's so tattered, I've never seen such a dilapidated ship." ”

At one o'clock in the morning, the ship was close at hand.

It was also a three-masted ship, a little shorter than the St. Gois, and its deck was right under Svecker's nose.

"What kind of ship is this, how did it rot like this? It looks like it's going to sink at any moment. ”

Beach tore open his throat: "Listen, the people on the ship, we are the Pavaro Imperial Navy, we are the Pavaro Imperial Navy, if you can still breathe, come out and speak immediately!"

Svek scolded: "You don't hate the navy the most, why did you raise the banner of the navy?"

"Head, the name is bigger, scare them to death!"

No matter how much Beach shouted, there was no response from the following ship.

Sveker: "Beechcraft, you take someone down to have a look!"

Half an hour later, Beechcraft shouted from the deck of the tracking ship: "Head, there is no one on this ship, there is no one. ”

Captain Toniel said in horror, "My lord, we can't have encountered a ghost ship. ”
