Ghost ships are those that are thought to be missing or sunk, but are still being found adrift in the sea years later.

This has been documented by both wizards and Muggles:

As early as the Sumerian cuneiform tablets, it is mentioned that Utnabisidin encountered a ferry ship without any human beings in the Persian Gulf.

He escaped the flood by hiding inside.

Ancient Egypt also carved murals with ghost ships, and the ancient Greek wizard Odysseus was adrift at sea for a decade after the end of the Trojan War...... There are many references to this.

With the advent of the Age of Discovery, Muggles wrote even more, the most famous of which was the Flying Dutchman.

And the most bizarre thing about the ghost ship is that the crew members are either all missing, or they have become ghosts, and they are forever tied to the ship.

But those ghost crew members are not conscious and can't tell anyone else...... What happened to them was just a permanent mechanical repetition of the work of their lives.

The Ministries of Magic of various countries have also suspected that the dark wizards were responsible, but all the ghost ships, except for the corrosion of the seawater, basically did not show too serious damage to the hull......

If it was a human attack, how could there be no trace of the attack at all, and even the ship still remained the same as before the disappearance of those crew members.

For this reason, the ghost ship is also known as the ship of death, and it is the most avoided existence in navigation.

At this point, the ghost ship got closer and closer, and standing on the deck, Rove could see more and more clearly.

The whole ship seems to have undergone the baptism of time, has been seriously corroded, and the ship is also covered with various adsorbents such as cyanobacteria, green algae and barnacles.

Rove's gaze slowly moved up to see the empty deck, which was just a mess of rusty chains and iron plates.

The Mayflower's sailors spotted the ship as well, and they immediately issued a warning, urging the cockpit to turn immediately and avoid contact with it.

Having been at sea for a long time, the crew knows the horror of the ghost ship.

But the ghost ship suddenly accelerated and crashed into it in a frenzy.

Such an unmanned ship, which is about to fall apart, does not know what kind of power it uses, and it can be so fast.

The Mayflower avoided it, and the guardrails on the decks of the two ships were pressed together like the upper and lower lips.

The Mayflower's steel-forged bow shattered the moment it was squeezed, making a piercing grinding sound.

Carlos appeared on deck, staring at the ghost ship with a demented expression, feeling only mixed feelings and words of suffering.

It had only been a few days since he set off, and he encountered a complex danger that he had not encountered in the past few decades...... He must have been cursed by death to pull the wizard who shouldn't have been pulled!

With a shake, the passengers rushed to the deck to try to see what was going on.

As if attracted by life, the originally empty deck of the ghost ship suddenly burrowed many ghosts, their dead white faces congealed with rotten flesh, and red hair on their faces, as if they had encountered an ominous encounter.

The ghosts are still in the same way as they were when they died, and it seems that they suffered a great deal before they died.

There were also two little witches, only about six or seven years old, with skirts clinging to their bodies and hair clinging to their dead white cheeks.

The two of them were like choir girls, standing on the deck and chanting verses:

Listen and remember, the cruelty of death,

Old or young, warrior or coward,

No one can escape the scythe of death,

His harvest disregards any pleas for mercy......

Captain Carlos took a breath, he drew his wand, pointed it to his throat and said, "Loud voice!" ”

Then, like thunder, his words resounded throughout the Mayflower.

"No one is allowed on board!"

Needless to say, few wizards would dare to board that ghost ship laden with dead men and dead things and corrupt sails.

At Carlos' orders, a group of sailors raised their wands and cast their magic spells in an attempt to slice open the place where the Mayflower and the ghost ship came into contact.

In a moment of friction, a deafening sound erupted from the surface of the ghost ship's hull, and a large amount of seawater flowed down the edge of the ghost ship like a waterfall, washing away the name that was covered and etched on the side of the ship:

The Palmelope!

"The Palmelope?" Fleur read it softly and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?" ”

"Palmeloper is the eldest of the three mermaid sirens, and she fell in love with the ancient Greek wizard Odysseus." Rove explains:

"When Odysseus' ship left, Palmelope also jumped into the sea from her island and chose to commit suicide."

Carlos, who was standing not far away, suddenly spoke: "I know this ship. ”

Both Rove and Fleur turned their heads to look at Carlos.

Gabrielle jumped from behind the boy and struggled to stand on the railing, trying to get a closer look at the ghost ship.

Carlos stared at the name of the ship and said in a low voice:

"I was fifteen years old at the time, and I was an intern with a boy named Kurga on a ship called the Golden Jackson."

"On one voyage, Kurga ...... from a ship," Carlos continued, after a pause, "to get an old chart. ”

Rove sensed the change in his mood and keenly asked, "What ship?" ”

"Ghost ship!" Carlos sighed:

"When we were sailing, we also came across a ghost ship, and several crew members made bets on who would dare to enter the ship."

"Kulga was young and bold enough to climb in and finally came back safely." Carlos whispered:

"When he returned, Kurga secretly told me that he found the ship empty, but the ship was intact and full of cargo.

On the table in the captain's cabin, he found an old nautical chart marked with a mysterious island that was not on our map. ”

Rove suddenly remembered something, and his heart moved: "Good luck spring? ”

Carlos looked at Rove in surprise, nodded, and said, "That's right, it's the island that records the Fountain of Good Luck in the story of the poet Pedou." ”

Rove raised his eyebrows, he remembered the two-tailed mermaid Missara, whom he had met in the Black Lagoon, and who was looking for the island.

Kurga later bought a ship for himself and named it ...... The Palmelope is this ship. Carlos continued:

"He also invited me to be his first mate and go together in search of the fountain of good luck, but I didn't believe in those legends, so I didn't agree."

"Since then, the Palmelope has disappeared without a trace." Carlos said with a sad expression:

"I thought he was encountering pirates, or a storm, but I didn't expect it to turn into a ghost ship."

Rove and Fleur glanced at each other, especially the girl, with suspicion in their eyes.

Carlos shook his head and said, "I'll have to write to Mira and she'll be sad." ”

"Who is Mira?" Rove curious.

"Kurga's Wife......"

"Is Mira still waiting for her husband?" Fleur was surprised.

"Oh, not really." Carlos shook his head and said, "The year after Kurga disappeared, Mira and I got married.

She was six months pregnant, and she had to take care of both of them, and I was Kurga's best brother, of course. ”

“……”

It's only been missing for more than half a year, and you're taking care of your good brother's surviving person to get pregnant?

Yours is it!

"So, is there really a fountain of good luck?" Fleur Fox asked.

"Nonsense!" Carlos shook his head and said:

"It's the little ones who believe this kind of naïve rumors. What a fountain of good luck, it's all,, stupid rumors! ”

"Don't try to find these things, the end of believing is death...... The reason why those ships disappeared and became ghost ships was because they were cursed...... Curse of the Grim Reaper! ”

Gabrielle, who was standing on the railing, suddenly shouted loudly, "Look, what is that?" ”

Rove looked up and saw that behind the ghost ship was the keel of a fire dragon with a ...... Coffin.

Kowloon...... Pull the coffin?!
