The captain's office, which used to be quiet, is now unusually noisy, with quarrels and shouts one after another.

The voices came from portraits on the walls, all of the Mayflower's former captains, who were arguing fiercely about what to do with the situation.

Captain Carlos ignored the chatter of the old captains, he poured himself a cappuccino, did not drink it, and left it on the table.

He sat quietly in an armchair, staring through the window at the islands and mermaid statues in the sky.

The old man suddenly remembered what the old captain Roger told him when he and Kurga were still interns on the "Golden Jackson":

"In the Great Voyage, the storm, the dangerous magical creatures, the pirates, these are not terrible, the real great horror is...... Unknown. ”

What is unknown?

Something beyond the dual knowledge of science and magic!

Carlos looked at the mirage like a maggot attached to the bones, and said secretly in his heart:

"It's probably unknown, right?"

It's scary indeed!

At this moment, the door slammed, and Carlos said in a rough voice, "Come in." ”

Rove pushed the door in, and the portrait of the captain on the wall immediately stopped arguing and turned to look at him.

Captain Carlos also looked at the boy, and as if he saw the last straw, he stood up and asked impatiently:

"Rove, did you bring a mirage aboard?"

Rove raised his eyebrows lightly and said in surprise:

"Mr. Carlos, the mirage is an endangered species in the Far East, and it is illegal to travel across borders with it, why do you think I would do such a thing?"

Rove was indeed surprised that he adhered to the ancestral motto of the Scamander family and the Hufflepuff Academy, and had always been law-abiding, honest, and never illegal...... It makes no sense to suspect him.

Carlos looked at Rove with a strange look.

Two years ago, when Cablo attacked the Mayflower, Rove pulled out a horse-shaped monster from nowhere to fight it;

Last year, the Saint attacked the floating dragon ship, and he didn't know where to summon a fire dragon to stop the ship from crashing......

You have been swept away every time you sweep pornography, and you still ask why you are suspicious?!

Plus Rove's grandfather – Newt Scamander – that's even more of a heavyweight.

Decades ago, it was revealed that he was illegally carrying a thunderbird and a winged demon and ruined half of New York.

Later, he almost ruined Paris, and after two years of peace, he took the unicorn and made a big fuss about the International Federation of Wizards Congress in Bhutan...... It can be called a lot of crimes, and it is difficult to write about them!

With such a buff blessing, it's hard not to suspect that Rove carried a mirage, and then caused a mirage!

Of course, the words certainly can't be so straightforward, Carlos euphemistically:

"I mean...... Have you found anyone suspected of carrying a mirage? ”

"Not yet." Rove shook his head and said solemnly: "Mr. Carlos, I didn't carry a mirage either, this mirage really has nothing to do with me. ”

Carlos still trusts Rove, and since he says it's irrelevant, it's really irrelevant.

The old man motioned for Rove to sit down, and then said weakly: "Then you came to me, is there something urgent?" ”

"I just used magic to probe the mirage from a distance." Rove sat down in a large carved oak chair upholstered in red velvet and said softly:

"I spotted a ghost ship heading towards the Mayflower."

"Ghost ship?" Carlos' face changed dramatically: "The Palcellope we met two years ago?!" ”

"It's not it." Rove denied. "This time it's a new ghost ship, and I saw a painting on that ship."

Rove quickly said what was in the painting.

Hearing the description that "the Mayflower will be sunk by a huge wave", Carlos's face turned pale and his whole body became shocked.

There is no need to guess now, the mirage must have something to do with this ghost ship.

He had always believed that ghost ships were hoodoos, and that wizards who boarded the ships would be cursed by death.

Two years ago, after encountering the ghost ship, Carlos was safe and sound for two years, he thought he was safe, and now it seems that the curse may be late, but it will certainly not be absent.

The old captains on the wall also exchanged their heads with each other, and an even more heated quarrel broke out.

Carlos stared at Rove and asked slowly, "Rove, what do you think...... Would that be a prophecy? ”

Rove didn't answer, but said with a serious expression:

"Regardless of whether it is a prophecy or not, we must be ready to save ourselves now."

"Self-help?" Captain Carlos sat down in his chair in a daze.

"Rov, we can't get out of this area, no matter how the Mayflower sails, it can only circle around."

The old man picked up the mirror on the table again and said:

"I just used a two-way mirror and wanted to connect with the outside world, but the mirror didn't work, and the old captains on the wall couldn't go to their other frames."

"We are trapped in the North Sea!"

Rove was silent, and it seemed that the doorkey and the vanishing cabinet must have also failed.

The situation was trickier than he had imagined.

"Then we can't just sit still, Mr. Carlos." Rove's eyes were sharp, and he said, "Something has to be done." ”

"Is there anything that can be done?" Captain Carlos sighed deeply, picked up the cappuccino in his cup, took a big sip and said:

"Although the Mayflower is waterproof, it really encountered a huge wave of more than seven levels, and it can't hold on for too long."

"I have a plan." "It's a bit bold though, and it needs your support." ”

"What's the plan?" Carlos asked.

Rove stretched out his hand and pointed upwards, and said slowly:

"Hide in the sky, no matter how strong the wind and waves are, they won't affect us."

"Heavenly? Do you mean using a broomstick? Carlos muttered:

"But there are not so many broomsticks on board, and it is impossible to transfer all passengers to the sky."

"Nope." Rove pressed the table and said seriously, "I mean let the whole Mayflower fly into the sky." ”

Carlos wanted to say that the Mayflower was not capable of flying, but he suddenly remembered something and froze in place.

Rove smiled slightly and said:

"Rune horses, fire dragons, and thunderbirds, is it enough for the Mayflower to take off?

If that's not enough, I've got rock thief dragons, bird snakes, and air-winged birds here......"

Carlos: "......"

He looked at Rove blankly, and couldn't help but sneer:

"And say that you didn't illegally carry magical creatures, and these random ones are enough to sentence an Azkaban to prison!"

Rove quickly left the captain's office, and Shirley was waiting for him in the hallway with a suitcase.

Nelishi was also there, and when she saw Rove, she unconsciously clasped her hands to her chest.

It seems that the Forbidden Spell Caught x Dragon Claw Hand that Rove accidentally cast on Nellis before has caused her a lot of damage.

Shirley and Rove walked side by side and asked, "How's it going, Rove?" ”

"Captain Carlos has agreed to my suggestion." Rove said.

"That's good." Shirley nodded: "I just calculated, four rune horses plus a fire dragon are enough to pull the Mayflower up." ”

Nelishi followed behind Rove and Shirley, listening to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but interject:

"But where are you going to look for rune horses and fire dragons now?"

Shirley turned her head and smiled at her:

"Nellis, haven't you heard a word? Any Scamander is in dire need, and Fantastic Beasts will fly. ”

Nellis shook her head in confusion.

Rove also laughed along with the ponytail girl: "Anyway, don't worry about the Fantastic Beasts, for Scamander, that's the most trivial problem." ”

Nelishi's eyes narrowed, and she looked suspiciously at the mysterious Rove and Shirley.

The three of them quickly reached the deck, when the sea suddenly began to fog up.

In the distance, the figure of the ghost ship finally appeared, speeding towards the Mayflower.
