Chapter 13: The Ghost Ship
Fleur, who had been listening with her ears pricked up and eavesdropping on Gabrielle's nonsense, looked sluggish at first, and then almost instinctively reached out to cover her sister's mouth.
"Rove, don't listen to her nonsense, she's ...... Haven't woken up yet! ”
Rove looked strange and said, "What is Gabrielle talking about?" I didn't understand, otherwise you would translate for her? ”
Fleur was a little embarrassed and annoyed, and glared at the teenager who took advantage of her, what Gabrielle just said, can she repeat it?
But Rove really didn't understand, Gabrielle spoke French, and he didn't understand it half-well, so it would be even more incomprehensible...... Gan, get off the boat and definitely buy a big English-French dictionary!
Fleur glanced deeply at the young man, and seeing that he didn't look like a lie, she breathed a sigh of relief and said in English:
Gabrielle said...... She had nightmares about you at night. ”
“……”
Rove was speechless, dreaming that he was a nightmare, right?
It's not so shabby!
After finally getting Lake Rove over, Fleur gently pulled Gabrielle's ear, and said with her eyebrows upside down: "What nonsense were you talking about just now?" ”
Seeing that her sister, who had always been very fond of herself, reacted so much, Gabrielle spoke timidly for the first time:
"Sister, I mean...... I dream...... Dream that you are dreaming of calling Rove's name. ”
“……”
Fleur was almost stunned by the series of fixed words, and after sorting out the order, she glared and said:
"Then why don't you finish your sentence and only say half of it? It's easy to get misunderstood. ”
"Rove doesn't speak French well, I'm afraid he won't understand." Gabrielle 'empathized': "I omit the irrelevant part." ”
That's not the irrelevant content, it's the most important content!
Fleur was so angry that her chest hurt, she took a deep breath, and finally managed to hold back and not beat her sister.
"Actually......" Gabrielle said weakly, "Sister, how do you know that you don't talk in your sleep when you sleep?" ”
"I just know!" Fleur said angrily: "If you talk nonsense in the future, I won't help you translate." ”
Gabrielle pouted, if you don't help, you won't help...... She's been secretly learning English lately, and she'll be able to get rid of her sister in the future...... Hey.
Rove's eyes became more and more confused, because the sisters were muttering there, and seemed to be speaking the language of Meiwa, and he could not understand it even more.
It seems that the matter of raising and domesticating a baby is also going to be put on the agenda.
Rodf ignored the two of them and quietly watched the sunrise over the sea.
I saw the sun rising slowly, the sky seemed to have been deliberately rendered by a paintbrush, and the morning glow on the horizon depicted every wave of the ocean as roses inlaid with gold edges......
Rove asked curiously, "Where are we now?" ”
"Location close to the Bay of Biscay." While arguing with Gabrielle, Fleur did not forget to explain, "The Mayflower needs to dock at a nearby harbor. ”
"That's right." Rove bowed his head slightly.
The Bay of Biscay is located in the northeastern part of the North Atlantic Ocean, bordered by France to the east and Spain to the south...... It seems that Carlos is here to repair the Mayflower.
But it does need to be repaired, it's still far from the United States, and this little wrecked ship can't stand the toss anymore.
Rov was distracted for a while, and Fleur stopped arguing with Gabrielle, but looked at the box in the boy's hand.
That night, she witnessed the boy open the box, and the horse-shaped monster emerged from it.
According to Captain Carlos, the horse-shaped monster was raised by the Mayflower and turned into a rat and hid in a chest, but ...... Fleur was skeptical.
She had seen Rove many times, and the boy would carry the box with him almost every time, and he would hardly leave it.
Obviously, it's important!
Rove came back to his senses and saw that Fleur had been staring at his box, a little dumbfounded, he handed it over and said with a smile: "Since you are curious, open it and take a look?" ”
Fleur hesitated slightly, the girl knew that this behavior was a bit rude, and her tutor from childhood to adulthood did not allow her to do such a thing, but curiosity still drove the girl, and she reached out and took the box.
Fleur opened it quickly, and quickly frowned, and the box contained only a few books and a change of laundry...... Other than that, there are no more items.
"You don't think those two magical creatures are hiding in my chest, do you?" Rove smiled.
Fleur was full of suspicion, and after careful inspection, she didn't find any problems, she glanced at the teenager and said, "It's that I'm thinking too much, but are they really dead?" ”
"Not really." Rove calmly admitted, "That Cabrosauron has been hit by a magic ...... The whole body was petrified, and I kept it in a safe place. ”
What magic can instantly petrify a Cablo dragon?
Fleur's delicate face flashed with mixed emotions, shocked and confused.
At first, when she saw Rove, she was only puzzled, wondering where he could make Madame Maxim so much praise.
On the night Cabloron attacked, she felt she had found the answer, and that was ...... Guts.
But today, it seems that the girl feels that she can't see through Rove again, and he is becoming more and more mysterious...... Of course, it also aroused Fleur's endless curiosity.
"By the way, I've checked the book these days, and it says that the Cablo Dragon is a very docile magical creature." Fleur said softly.
"That's right." Rove nodded and said, "Since it attacked the wizard, it means that there may be something wrong with this Mayflower." ”
"Isn't it possible that he was ordered by a wizard?" Fleur guessed.
"That Cablosaurus is a wild magical creature, not bred by a wizard." Rove denied.
"How do you know?"
"You have to trust the judgment of a maginologist." Rove grinned.
"Didn't you say you were a therapist before?" Fleur frowned and said, "How did you become a magizoologist again?" ”
"Magizoologists and healers are not in conflict, they even complement each other." Rove said with a smile.
is like a teacher who is both virtuous and artistic, which not only represents technical excellence, but also excellent acting skills...... At this point, a certain bean is far behind, and his acting skills are too embarrassing.
"Who do you think has a problem?" Fleur said curiously.
"Most likely a first-class wizard." Rove thought for a moment and said softly, "The wizard in the first class entered the Mayflower without checking his luggage. ”
"They may take advantage of this stop to get off the ship." Fleur reminded.
"It's okay." "I've already greeted Captain Carlos, and all wizards who are going to disembark will strictly check their luggage, including the first class. ”
Fleur was silent, she felt that Rove did not look like a teenager who had just turned thirteen, but was mature and thoughtful.
Gabrielle, who was lying on Rove's back, suddenly pointed into the distance and said, "What's that?" ”
Rolf and Fleur both looked up.
A huge thing, approaching the Mayflower through the morning mist. As it got closer, the shape became clearer.
It was a ship...... But the hull had been thoroughly corroded and rusted, and the frame was exposed, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.
Rove frowned and said:
"Ghost ship."
