Chapter 6: Kurga and the Ghost Ship

Rove and Shirley were idle, and walked around the room.

As Jane said, a small study was added, and the garden area was enlarged a lot, with all kinds of beautiful plants.

In addition, there is a sunroom, whether it is sunbathing during the day or observing the stars at night, you don't have to run to the deck to complete your astronomical homework.

Of course, the most satisfying thing for Rove is the bedroom, not so much how luxuriously decorated it is, but how many ...... Just one.

It felt like taking a girl to a hotel for the first time, and the receptionist regretfully told you that there was only one room left.

Rove's "regretful" mouth grinned to the back of his head.

When the two of them had walked around the room, Janine returned, bringing an invitation from Captain Carlos.

Rov left the room and went to the captain's cabin, while Shirley stayed behind to set up all sorts of defensive magic.

This kind of caution when walking outside is still Newt's habit, he taught the somewhat rough Tina back then, and later taught Rove with Tina, and Shirley was touched by Rove's ears......

This is probably the inheritance of the Scamander family.

Led by Jeanne, Rove soon arrives in the captain's quarters, which are less lavishly decorated and more full of nautical instruments:

A spiral compass for dead reckoning, a marine clock to counteract turbulence, a barometer and hygrometer to measure the weather, and a sextant to determine latitude and longitude by measuring the height of the sun......

Speaking of the sextant, its principle was also proposed by the alchemy master Newton.

What is a generalist?

Now, here it is!

Isaac Everywhere has the name of Newton and can appear in any field that surprises you, whether it's mathematics, physics, theology, or alchemy, or even finance, or even stock trading...... Although it was a loss.

So, Newton's bones were crushed under the ruins of Westminster Abbey, and Rove was still very guilty, and he had gone to look for it some time ago...... But alas, nothing was found.

Next to a tall fireplace, covered in coats of arms from top to bottom, is an armchair on which sits Captain Carlos.

He was about eighty years old, but he had a sturdy physique, a square face, a wide mouth, bulging eyes, and white hair pressed down from both sides like a big cover.

Captain Carlos stood up, greeted him warmly, and then hugged the boy vigorously, and said in a loud voice, "Rove, are you still satisfied with your room?" ”

Rove smiled: "I like it very much, let you bother." ”

"What's this?" Captain Carlos stared at the boy and said seriously:

"If it weren't for the fact that you rescued the Mayflower from Cabroron the year before, this ship would have sunk to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean long ago.

No matter how much I do, I can't express my gratitude to you. ”

"Don't say that, or I won't dare to come in the future."

Captain Carlos laughed, patted Rove on the shoulder, motioned for him to sit down, and walked towards a cabinet that shimmered with enamel shine.

"Can you not come...... Your fame has grown in the past two years, and just your stay in the Mayflower is a good advertisement. ”

This is not a joke, with Rove's current fame and status, whoever takes the ship can help him attract a large number of passengers.

That's the powerful fan effect!

Rove two years ago didn't have such an influence.

At that time, he had just captured Peter Pettigrew the Death Eater and helped Blake clear the wrongful convictions, thus making a name for himself.

But the boy's fame is basically limited to the British mainland, not to mention the distant America, just the European continent across the sea, in fact, not many wizards know him.

But in just the past two years, Scamander has rescued the dragon ship and its delegates from the hands of the Saints, and then saved spectators from all over the world in the Quidditch World Cup final......

Overnight, the world was shocked, and the boy's fame skyrocketed, to the point that wizards all over the world knew about it.

Captain Carlos knew that Rov would soar sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so fast!

He didn't dare to imagine how brilliant the boy's future would be!

Rove didn't know Carlos's emotion, he sat down in a large carved oak chair upholstered with red velvet, and said softly:

"I'm afraid it's more of a journalist."

"Rove, you can rest assured of this."

Carlos took out a yellow-green bottle of Charte from the cupboard, he returned to the table, uncorked the bottle, poured two glasses of wine, handed one to the young man, and said with a smile:

"I'm sure I'll let the house-elves stop those reporters and won't disturb you...... By the way, Jenny said that you have something very important to ask me, what is it? ”

Rove took the glass, took a sip of the sweet and spicy Chatter, and asked:

"Do you remember two years ago, in the depths of the Atlantic, we encountered a ghost ship?"

Captain Carlos's expression gradually became serious, and he clenched his wine glass and said:

"Of course I remember...... Why, you ran into it again later? ”

"Not really, but I remember you telling me that the owner of that ghost ship was a good friend of yours?"

"That's right." Carlos sighed softly: "His name is Kurga, he bought a ship that year, named the Palcellop, and went out to sea in search of the Fountain of Good Luck, and then disappeared since.

The ghost ship we met was the Palcellope in Kurga, and I won't be mistaken. ”

"Then you must remember what Kurga looked like, right?"

Carlos didn't know why Rove was asking, but he replied anyway:

"Of course, the two of us grew up together, and I remember exactly where he had a mole on his body."

"That's good." Rove nodded, "I'd like to ask you to take a look at this." ”

The boy said, opening his black suitcase, and he waved his wand and cast a flying charm.

A moment later, a long strip wrapped in a white cloth flew out of the box and landed on the table.

Carlos looked at the long strip with some amazement, he looked at Rove hesitantly and said, "This is ......"

"You'll know when you lift the white cloth."

Captain Carlos seemed to have a premonition of something wrapped under the cloth, and with trembling hands, he slowly lifted the white cloth, and sure enough, he saw a corpse.

Looking at that familiar face, Carlos's body trembled, he held on to the table, slowly examined the body, and after repeated confirmation, said excitedly:

"Rove, where did you find him?"

Last summer, Rove traveled to Azkaban to explore the lake where the Dementors were born, and found the body near the lake.

However, Rove didn't say it directly, but just gave a general position and said:

"The one I found in the North Sea, is it Kurga?"

"It's him, I will never admit my mistake!" Captain Carlos said with great certainty, looking at the corpse, and said in a trembling voice:

"Just why is he...... So young? ”

Captain Carlos is already old, and even his granddaughter is nineteen years old.

And Kulga, who is the same age as him, still maintains the appearance of his youth, and looks like he is in his early thirties.

The years don't seem to have left any traces on him!

"Did he really find the fountain of good luck?" The thought came to Carlos' mind.

Rove also didn't know why, he said softly: "I also found this next to the corpse." ”

The boy waved his wand again, summoned a box, which he placed on the table, and asked:

"Do you know it?"

Looking at the box, Carlos's eyes narrowed, and after pondering for a long time, he said:

"Acquaintance!"
