Chapter 489: The Ghost Ship (Part I)

[The fourth watch, the guaranteed monthly ticket votes for the badge, continue to struggle in March, the old D has been persisting for more than 100 days, and has not found any excuse to be less or even broken, everyone must believe in the character of the old D]

There are not many cabins on the Dragonwreck Battleship, but there is a special cabin for soldiers, and when necessary, the Dragonwreck Battleship can also transport more than 600 soldiers.

The cabin was now unused, and it was stacked with some of the building materials, all of the finest wood from Metatling. Since Salin plans to go to Ceylon City, he must at least build a palace, and there is no need for things like wood to occupy the position of space equipment.

Two hundred and eighty-nine people were housed in this cabin. The captain of the merchant ship was taken to the upper cabin, and Truman came for questioning.

In Metatrin City, Truman is not an outstanding figure, this is because there are too many strong people there, and a fifth-level great magician is not among the others.

Under Salin's influence, Truman was also very cautious. He came to visit the captain of the merchant ship, with twelve ancient warriors with him, plus twenty of his own soldiers who belonged to Saleen. These soldiers were holding elven alchemy crossbows in their hands, hidden in the walls of the cabin.

If an anomaly is found, these twenty crossbow arrows are enough to kill a level 7 mage.

The captain had changed into clean clothes and sat across the table from Truman, a little uneasy. Truman was wearing a magic robe, gray, and even if he didn't know much about magicians, he knew that this was someone he couldn't afford to mess with. No matter how many magicians there are in this world, for ordinary people, a great magician is a god-like existence.

"Master Mage. "The captain was respectful, and his lingua franca was very standard, and every byte was clear. "I'm Belein of the Scochenian Empire's Ironwall United Business Association, and this time, thank you for your rescue. ”

For the first time, Captain Belein saw a ship that could survive a storm, and he knew very well that the other party was definitely not a Skochenian, and he was afraid that he had come from the clouds.

But how did the Yunliu people come here? Within the scope of the Black Prison Island, it is difficult for the Yunliu warships to pass, and if they want to go west, from the deep sea, and cross the silent sea, the danger there will be desperate for any fleet.

Of course, Bellein would not have imagined that someone would cross the North Sea, which is full of floating icebergs, to come here. And the person in front of him has already destroyed his hometown, the Iron Wall City.

But even if he knew that Iron Wall City was finished, he wouldn't be fine. A merchant who just thinks of it as a stronghold, not his hometown.

"Iron Wall City United Business Association?" Truman frowned, he knew that it was a person from Iron Wall City, and Saleen might not have saved it.

"Yes, adults know there, too?"

"Of course you do, Ironwall...... It doesn't exist anymore. "Truman is too lazy to fool the businessman in front of him, tell the truth.

Bellein was stunned, not understanding Truman's words. Truman asked, "How did you get here, this boat? ”

Bellein smiled bitterly, "Master Mage, you're not a Skochenian, are you?"

"It's not. ”

"No wonder you don't know, the merchants of Skochenia basically go by land, the circulation of goods is convenient, and we are everywhere on the mainland. But at sea...... If the merchants of the sea want to survive, they can only rely on smuggling. Ninety percent of Skochenia's smuggling merchant ships were royal warships. We, the small businessmen, have to bypass the safety of the offshore waters and take the route of the deep sea. ”

"Isn't that too dangerous?"

"No way, offshore waters, there are anti-smuggling ships of the Royal Fleet everywhere. loaded, the cargo was confiscated, and the captain was put to death. Seeing that Chumen's face did not change, Belein said: "If this anti-smuggling ship is left alone, our armed merchant ships may sink it, so this smuggling at sea is simply doing it with its head in its head." ”

"The profit must be high, right?"

"Master Mage, you have also seen that once my ship sank, it would be in vain for more than half a year. This boat is almost a dozen people's shares, and if it is divided equally, it will not earn 10,000 gold coins. ”

Truman nodded, he was born on Srig Island and did not know the value of gold coins since he was a child. After coming to Metatrin City, all the consumption was due to Salin, and he didn't have to work. What the concept of 10,000 gold coins was, he didn't know at all.

Looking at Truman's cold expression, Belein was a little relieved. He still has some private goods on him. Although ordinary people can't use space equipment, it doesn't mean that they can't use space equipment. His spatial equipment was hung around his neck, and when he returned to Iron Wall City, he would find a mage to take out the goods inside.

If it's really that shipwright, the profit is indeed a little small.

"Where did you start from and where did you go?" Truman didn't see this captain. These words were also asked by Saleen to ask.

"We set out from an island east of Port Royal for the Tangulas Empire. The Tangulas Empire suppressed commerce, but smuggling was still rampant. My shipload ......"

"Transporting it to the Tangulas Empire to sell it, and then buying back the specialties of the Tangulas Empire, you can earn several times more than you can on land, right? "Although Truman does not understand business, his computing power is far more than that of an ordinary person.

"Let's get to the point, is the route you mastered safe?"

"Of course it's not safe, although the navy of the Tanggulas Empire is not as good as the Yunliu people, it is not something that we merchants can fight against, so we have to go to the deep sea, and we have to bribe some nobles and soldiers to get ashore. If there's a storm, there's nothing. ”

"Do you have charts?" Truman was not interested in what Bellen said, which was similar to what Saleen said, and even Saleen said something that Truman could not understand.

"Yes. ”

"Give it to me, and it will be my reward for saving you. ”

"Huh?" Belein didn't understand, he thought he had misheard.

"If it weren't for the rescue of you, I wouldn't have had to let the battleship venture into the storm area, do you know that an hour of anchoring here is equivalent to our consumption of six hours outside?" said Truman impatiently. He is not a robber, otherwise he would have started to rob it a long time ago.

"Okay. Belle's face was sad, this chart was the secret of their United Business Association, and without this chart, the United Business Association would not have been able to develop and become the largest business organization in Iron Wall City. This time, he personally went to the Tangulas Empire for an important cargo, but he didn't expect to encounter this strange storm, it stands to reason that there should be good weather within thousands of miles nearby, and there will definitely be no storm.

And he himself is an important shareholder of the Iron Wall City United Business Association, and one of the three nautical charts is in his hands.

Truman is obsessed with magic and is not good at communicating, he just waits coldly for Belein to take out the chart. Belein couldn't bear the gaze of a fifth-level great magician, so he had to obediently untie a string of bracelets from his hand, carefully took out a piece of crystal, and said, "Master Mage, this contains nautical charts, can you ...... it?"

"I'll make a copy, and I'll give it back to you. Truman said, took the crystal, and turned to leave the cabin.

Truman completed the task, and when he got to the chart, he had to go to see Salin, and only then did he walk out of the cabin, and there was a stumbling under his feet, and the two ancient warriors behind him were quick to hold him up. The entire battleship trembled violently, and the chain attached to the metal sealed box below made a cracking sound, and the dragon wreck battleship was tossed up by the waves, flew into the air, and then fell down heavily.

Salin was not spared in the cabin, but he was a ninth-level magician, and immediately fixed himself to the ground and opened the magic array. In the magical image, Saleen saw the giant eye, approaching the Dragonwreck Battleship.

Damn it!

When Saleen saw this huge thing, his heart was extremely depressed. What kind of monster is this? I've never heard of it! At the same time, he saw the sailboat breaking through the waves under the huge eyes, something Salin knew—a ghost ship.

When low-level ghosts possess other creatures, they will not maintain the survival of the body's organs, and will slowly die. When humans used ghosts, they also created a lot of ghost armies to deal with the gods. This thing is one of the few pieces of equipment that has been handed down with images, and modern magicians have tried to make it, but they can't catch ghosts, and everything is in vain.

The core of this storm is a hurricane mass covering a range of tens of miles, without the fixation of the metal sealed box, the dragon skeleton battleship can only rely on the magic array to maintain balance, and this consumption suddenly increases dozens of times.

"Northeast, full speed ahead!" Salin commanded with a sound magic array, his voice echoing throughout the battleship. There are no mediocre people on the dragon wreck battleship, even the soldiers are the elite of the Metatrin Kingdom, and the sailors are brought from Shreg Island, not cronies, and they will not let him operate this battleship at all.

The distance between the Dragonwreck Battleship and the Ghost Ship was only five miles, and the metal chain below was broken, which saved the trouble of anchoring. The magic furnace was in full swing, and the dragonship's bone wings opened, and it quickly turned around, desperately fleeing.

It's not that Saleen is worried about not being able to hit this weird eye, with the family crest in his hand, he doesn't even need any locking ability to shoot at such a large target. However, this storm obviously did not reach the extreme, and the entire storm within a range of thousands of miles is probably related to this huge eye.

If the power of the storm increases, the Dragonwreck Battleship may sink. There was no need to bear such a loss, and Saleen was ready to flee the danger zone and turn back to deal with the giant eye.

"Help me, save me......"

In the distant sky, at the heart of the hurricane, that huge eye suddenly made a strange sound, and it teleported directly to Sarin's dragonship ship. The sound seemed to be made by thousands of people at the same time, but there was no sense of chaos.

When Salin heard this, he became even more anxious, and asked Neris to go out with the twelfth-level magic core and distribute it to the great magicians in charge of the magic furnace.

"Don't go, save me......"

The huge eyes kept calling, and Saleen urged the mage to take the ship into flight with a louder voice. He now regretted that he didn't take the Winged Skull with him, and if the Winged Skull was there, he would be able to maneuver the battleship much faster than these great mages.

"My lord, I've heard of this!" said Nicholas to Salin.
