Chapter 108: The Legend of the Ghost Ship
"Again! The situation is urgent! The situation is urgent! All passengers are invited to return to their rooms! All passengers are invited to return to their rooms! ”
Magic loudspeakers buzzed up and down the ship.
At this moment, the upper deck of the Snowflake was already in chaos, and countless well-dressed passengers were walking around in panic, there was no order at all, and the seafarers were shouting in a hurry, and there was nothing to do.
No one thought that this sea trip on a luxury cruise ship, which should have been very comfortable, would encounter such strange things as pirates and even ghost ships.
Everyone understands that pirates at sea are not extinct, but the Snowflake is a magical ironclad ship, and according to common sense, no pirate ship can open its teeth against it.
But the accident happened, and the ghost ship wrapped in mist and death in the distance, its huge size exuded huge magical power, which made everyone fall into fear.
There was chaos on the deck, and the door of the pirate ship in the distance had approached, and the huge ghost ship had condensed a green light, throwing a huge green skull phantom at the Snowflake.
Necromancy shook in fear, and the Snowflake immediately opened the magic barrier, and the seven-colored magic barrier blocked the huge skeleton, but it also shook the distance between the hull of the Snowflake, making the situation on the deck even more chaotic.
As a last resort, the Snowflake's originally extremely fast speed slowed down, allowing the pirate ships to get closer.
At this moment, there are no more seafarers to maintain order, everyone is in a state of battle, above the magic barrier, there are three mages in mage robes waiting for them, and the Snowflake is crowded, and they don't even know that there are countless trotters sticking out from there, and a huge main gun.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Without a hint, the two sides on the surface of the sea exchanged artillery fire.
"Talia, how much do you know about that ghost ship?"
In a dark and hidden corner, two teenagers and girls leaned close together, silently observing the situation around them.
"When is it, why are you still asking this!"
Talia glared at An Ling, looked around, and said:
"There are fewer people around, let's find a chance to go back."
"Do you really want to go back?"
An Ling asked in a low voice, with temptation in his voice.
"It's rare to have such a fun opportunity, don't want to have a good time?"
"You ......"
Talia scolded and stopped, her eyes flashing with a heartbeat.
"Are you crazy? Having fun at this time? Do you know what kind of pirate we ran across? ”
An Ling said in a low voice:
"I don't know, so let you tell me."
Talia looked around for a while, and spoke patiently and quietly to An Ling:
"I don't know, I just read that legend in a book at home."
"Legend has it that the seas off the west coast of the continent, where we are, are not a very terrifying, terrifying ghost pirate who is not interested in gold, silver, jewelry, and goods, but is keen on collecting life. The fishermen on the coast call him the Soul Tax Collector, who mercilessly kills all life that comes across a boat, taking their souls. Hence the Ghost Ship is also known as the Dead Tax. ”
"Is it really that scary?"
An Ling was a little unimpressed, feeling that the magic power of the ghost ship was just like that.
That's what the book says! I don't know what the actual situation is! ”
Talia gave An Ling a blank look.
"Anyway, this is at least a legend a hundred years ago, once this sea area became a forbidden area for life because of the existence of the ghost ship, but after the first steel magic battleship was born seventy years ago, the kingdom of Pena found two sage mages, a paladin, a total of three sages to cooperate with the steel magic warship to go to sea to encircle and suppress the ghost ship Death Tax."
"Although it was not able to completely destroy the Dead Tax in the end, it also dealt a heavy blow to it, and since then the ghost ship has not been seen on the sea, and the maritime trade between the countries has flourished."
"So Anling, if we encounter this ghost ship today is a dead tax, we will really encounter a particularly terrible thing!"
"Haha~"
An Ling laughed dryly.
"I don't think there's so much to worry about, didn't you notice that the Snowflake and the ghost ship are still open?"
"If that ghost ship really needs the Sage to come forward to solve it, as you said, we must be dead by now."
"This ......"
Talia looked at the ghost ships that were getting closer and closer outside the magic solution, and there was confusion in her eyes.
"What the hell do you want to do, Anling?"
"Have fun!"
An Ling pointed to the wooden pirate ships guarding the ghost ship and said:
"You see, those pirate ships will definitely get close to the cruise ship and board the ship, how about we kill the pirates together? Don't you have itchy hands after so many days of idleness? ”
"Hmm......"
Talia looked thoughtful, then gritted her teeth, and a crimson sword appeared in her hand.
A wicked smile appeared on the girl's face.
"Then let's have a fun! Anling! I haven't done pirate fighting yet! ”
"Hey, I'll say it."
An Ling quietly also took out his new toy, the revolver magic gun "Vision".
Two restless young men walked to the edge of the deck.
Just as An Ling thought, the Snowflake and the ghost ship were engaged in a cannon exchange and magic confrontation, and the two big ships kept moving relative to each other after moving the distance, and no longer approached each other.
And the small pirate ships that originally guarded the ghost ship have already surrounded the Snowflake by virtue of the advantage of their small and convenient ships. One by one, the hooks clinged to the guardrail of the Snowflake.
The magical enchantment around the Snowflake seemed to be only resistant to magic, unable to resist the approach of these ships.
At this moment, there were already countless hideous-looking pirates with blades in their hands, climbing onto the deck along the hooks that gripped the hull of the ship, tangling with the battlemen who had put on them.
At this moment, Talia heroically swung her sword and slaughtered into the group of pirates.
"Give me death!"
The girl yelled excitedly, the magic of the long sword in her hand was swallowed, and she took the lives of the three pirates with a single look.
Bang~
At the same time, a crisp gunshot rang out, and there was no trace of a bullet in the air, but a large hole in the chest of a powerful magician pirate.
"It feels good~"
An Ling grinned in the shadows and strode forward, shooting at the pirates who were afraid of the deck.
The magician pirate who can threaten Taria's safety is the first target of Anling's attack, followed by killing people according to his mood, and seeing which one is pleasing to the eye.
There are a lot of pirates boarding around the Snowflake, maybe hundreds, and the Snowflake is only a civilian cruise ship, not a warship, so there are not many combat seafarers who can spare their hands to resist the invasion of these pirates.
At first, the cruise ship was almost encroached upon, but after a short while, different changes took place.
