"It's the Death Fish! It's the Death Fish of Robert the Great Pirate!" Among the passengers on the Snow Queen, there are many people who have studied the legendary pirates deeply. The origin of this ghost ship was identified.

In that era of maritime adventure, various legendary pirates emerged in endlessly, but there were very few controversial pirates like the Death Fish.

He is controversial because he is hard to distinguish between good and evil, and he is good because he often rescues slaves at sea, distributes the money he robbed to the poor in need, and established the first charity in Mozambique. Organizing the Poor Brotherhood, it is no exaggeration to say that his reputation among the common people even exceeds that of kings of various countries.

And he is said to be evil because he never leaves anyone alive when he robs a ship. Once he finds the target, he will kill everyone on the ship and steal all the treasures on the ship. Therefore, in terms of the number of people killed, the number of people who died in his hands is even far behind. Far more than several pirate kings.

Such a highly controversial person is naturally the subject of much attention by the navies of various countries. Even in order to deal with this big pirate, the enemies of the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Sigma have secretly cooperated several times.

However, because of the reputation of the great pirate Robert among the civilians in the colony, he often received help from the civilians and was able to avert danger in several encirclement and suppression campaigns.

However, luck does not always appear to a person. Soon after a planned robbery was completed, he found that he was surrounded by fleets of the navies of the two maritime kingdoms. The merchant ship he robbed before was both on board. Both the cargo and the people on the ship are baits set by the two countries.

After confirming that all escape routes were blocked, the legendary pirate Robert could only find another way out, and this way out was to enter the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars and bypass the encirclement from the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars.

As a result, Robert piloted the Death Fish and his crew entered the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars and never came out again.

Although it has been rumored by the outside world that Robert actually escaped from the siege of the two countries, sailed a ship to the Moissanite continent, and then gave up his career as a pirate, using the proceeds from his robberies over the years to live a prosperous life.

Some people even claimed that the current Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Kingdom of America, Little Robert, was a descendant of the legendary pirate Robert. However, this was later proven to be a deliberate rumor made by Little Robert's political opponents.

Now that everyone saw the ghost ship appearing in the fog in the distance, they all realized clearly that the rumors from the outside world were probably all false. When the Death Fish entered the Sea of ​​Falling Stars, it was really impossible to do so again. Escape.

In contrast, while the passengers on the ship were excited about the sudden appearance of the pirate ghost ship, Leo's attention was focused on the ship itself.

Because when the ship entered his spiritual net, he used his spiritual net to explore the inside and outside of the ship.

Just like the legend, there was no one on the ghost ship, and the furnishings in every part of the ship were still the same as before. Leo could even see an unfinished diary in the captain's cabin, and the pen used to write the diary was still put aside. On the pen holder, it felt like the captain was called out halfway through writing the logbook and never came back.

If it were just an empty ship without people, Leo wouldn't have any interest in an empty ship floating on the sea. But for some reason, Leo felt that there was an unknown life hidden on the ship.

It's the same, but this kind of life seems to be able to avoid his mental network, so that the mental network cannot sense its correct position, and can only vaguely feel the existence of living entities on the ship.

"This is not a good thing!" Old Beren walked to Leo's side, looked at the ghost ship with some worry, and said.

"It's just a ghost ship." Although Leo was a little confused about the life forms hidden on the ghost ship, he didn't feel any danger from the ghost ship, so he looked at Old Belen with some confusion.

.

"The Fish of Death..." When Old Beren was about to say something, he was stopped by the old captain who came over.

I saw the old captain pointing to the ordinary passengers who were discussing the ghost ship, and then pointed to the stern observation deck where the rudder was, indicating that he could talk there.

Old Beren didn't object, nodded, and walked over there. Leo followed without asking any questions.

After the three of them walked to the stern of the ship, Old Beren looked at the old captain and said, "Did you say it or did I say it?"

"Let me tell you! After all, you don't know the details. Most of them are hearsay." The old captain took the initiative to take over the topic, and then said to Leo with a slight seriousness: "There are many legends about ghost ships. See you.

There are also many people who visit ghost ships, but most ghost ships appear from a distance and will not cause any harm to the discoverers, but the Death Fish is different..."

As he spoke, the old captain couldn't help but pause for a moment, looked at the Death Fish in the thick fog, and said: "The Death Fish is the most vicious ghost ship. Its appearance usually brings death. There used to be three ghost ships.

More than a dozen ships have encountered the Death Fish at sea, and all the people on more than 20 of them have disappeared. Although there are still people alive on the remaining dozen ships, the people are all crazy, and even if they are asked, they can only

Answer with words that don’t mean anything.”

"Then what are you going to do now?" Leo asked in a deep voice.

The old captain said solemnly: "I will increase the speed of the Queen to the highest speed to see if I can get rid of this ghost ship."

"What if it can't?" Leo questioned: "According to various rumors I have heard, the speed of the ship does not seem to have any impact on the ghost ship."

The old captain hesitated for a moment and said: "If not, I hope I can hire you to go up and check the situation before the ghost ship approaches. If it can be solved in advance, it would be best. If not, I hope you can find out something."

Useful stuff.”

Hearing the old captain's request, Leo frowned and did not refuse immediately. In fact, he was indeed very interested in ghost ships. After all, such mysterious things often have some unexpected surprises, and of course they may also be unexpected scares.

So after thinking for a moment, Leo looked at the old captain with interest and said, "What price are you prepared to pay to hire me to do this? You know I'm not very interested in money."

At this time, when old Beren saw that Leo was planning to agree to the old captain's employment and go explore the ghost ship, he wanted to stop Leo from making a decision, but was stopped by the old captain's angry look full of warning.

In order to prevent Old Beren from getting involved and changing Leo's mind, the old captain immediately made a condition: "Aren't you trying to decipher the secret language of the tower? I have a secret code interpretation note from the tower wizard apprentice. Maybe

It will be useful to you."

"Do you know that I am interpreting the secret language of the tower?" Leo frowned and turned to look at old Beren. He seemed to be the only one present who knew that he had a magic book note from the tower wizard in his hand, and also knew that he

doing what.

"That's what I said." Old Beren showed an embarrassed look on his face, then turned to glare at the old captain and said: "It's just that I didn't expect that he had such thoughts. I just thought he was going to thank you for your support in Shackles Port.

What I did was prepare a gift for you, but I didn’t expect him to be like this."

Leo did not blame Old Beren. After he asked the reason, he said to the old captain: "Yes, as long as the code interpretation in the apprentice's notebook is true, I will agree to accept your employment."

"Don't worry, that notebook comes from the hands of William of Miris. He has been the court wizard in Daliat for seventeen years and helped Daliat establish some connections with the tower," the old captain said with a smile on his face.

Smiling, he said: "If you are interested in the tower, you can go to Daliat for a walk when you have time. I believe Her Majesty the Queen will be very happy."

Leo looked at the old captain and said solemnly: "Did you propose this invitation, or did your queen order you to say so?"

The old captain was stunned for a moment and said nothing more. After saluting Leo, he turned and walked off the observation deck and went down to his captain's cabin, preparing to activate the hidden power on the ship and speed up the ship.

The passengers on the deck were all driven back to the cabin by the sailors at his request.

"You shouldn't agree to this." Old Beren sighed and said.

"Why?" Leo asked.

Old Belen explained: "Five years ago, a research ship of the British royal family encountered the Death Fish. At that time, there were four senior agents of the Special Bureau on the research ship, who were also priests of the Poseidon Church.

The priests who truly possessed divine magic turned out to be the same as the other ships. They all disappeared, leaving only an unfinished diary on the ship, indicating that they could not escape from the Death Fish, so they had to board the ghost ship.

Solve this matter."

"I am neither an agent of the Special Bureau nor a priest of the church." Leo replied in a bottle, the implication of which was to ask Old Belen not to use the example of failure to apply to him.

In this regard, Old Beren didn't know what to say. Although Leo acted a little arrogant, in a certain respect, he was indeed right. At least after getting along with each other these days, Old Beren could feel that

The young wizard in front of him possesses unimaginable powerful abilities. What may seem like a catastrophe to others is nothing more than a trivial matter in his eyes.

At this time, Leo suddenly asked doubtfully: "There is one thing I don't understand. Since the Death Fish is so dangerous, why haven't I heard any related legends outside? Judging from the behavior of the passengers just now, they

It is obvious that he regarded this ghost ship as an ordinary and harmless ghost ship, otherwise he would not have behaved so calmly and not at all afraid."

Old Beren also seemed a little puzzled. He shrugged and casually gave a reason: "I'm not sure about this. Maybe it's to avoid unnecessary panic!"

Hearing this reason, Leo shook his head. Just as he was about to say something, the hull of the ship suddenly vibrated under his feet. Then Leo discovered that the speed of the Snow Queen had increased rapidly without any change in the outside wind speed.

Lifting up, the bottom of the boat quickly slid along like a speedboat.

Although the ship was protected by a special energy shield, the sudden increase in speed still made it difficult for the people on the deck to stand still. The sailors had to tie ropes to their bodies to avoid being thrown out by the powerful thrust, and Leo

He can easily use psychic energy to cling to the ground. As for Old Beren, although he is an ordinary person, but with his extraordinary balance, his body swayed with the ship, without the use of ropes, and there was no danger of being thrown off the deck. His performance was better than

Those sailors are better.

At this time, Leo opened the mental network and explored the inside of the Snow Queen. Just as he thought, he saw different combinations of the Turing roots of the Snow Queen, and once again felt sorry for the maker of the Snow Queen.

Admiration, after all, the Turing root is used to imitate most of the power of the three-dimensional radical, and there will be no backlash. This can only be achieved by mastering the Turing radical to an extremely profound level. At least Leo can be sure that he

This level will not be achieved for a long time.

On the other side, Old Beren had adapted to the increased speed of the Snow Queen, but the surrounding environment still made him feel a little nervous, so he said hello to Leo and prepared to enter the cabin.

"Wait a minute, I have a question." Just as Old Beren was about to walk off the observation deck, Leo suddenly called out to him.

Old Beren grabbed the stair railing and looked back at Leo.

Leo said: "I just mentioned that some people who encountered the Death Fish survived in the end. They were all crazy and could only speak some incomprehensible languages. Do you know this?"

Old Beren showed a trace of sadness on his face, nodded and said: "I know, in fact, one of them is my friend, a very good friend."

"Do you know how to pronounce that language?" Leo asked again.

Old Beren was stunned for a moment, looked at Leo in confusion, and suddenly showed a look of surprise, and said: "I know, Rembrandt always said that you have a unique talent in language, do you want to

Are there any clues about the languages ​​spoken by those people? Unfortunately, you will be disappointed. In fact, many linguists have studied those languages, including Rembrandt, and the final conclusion is that those languages ​​​​have nothing to do with it.

meaning."

Leo said in a calm tone: "Let's talk about it and see if it has any meaning. I will judge it myself."

Hearing what Leo said, Old Beren stopped talking nonsense and directly said a series of sounds that sounded like bird calls or some kind of whistle.

After changing several sounds, Old Beren repeated it twice before stopping and looking at Leo, but he didn't find anything gained from Leo's face, which was just as he expected.

, so without asking any more questions, he turned around, walked off the observation deck, and entered the cabin.

However, Old Beren did not notice that after she left, the look on Leo's face became a little strange, and he turned to look at the ghost ship looming in the thick fog, following closely behind the Snow Queen.
