After signing a long and complicated contract again, Sierra finally got to the point——
"The Black Pearl's sea experience has always been very good, and Salazar's reputation in this industry is also above average. At least so far, his ship has not had any major shipwrecks. Even if there are occasional accidents, but
That’s just inevitable.”
"Tell me the important point." Snow said a little impatiently as he watched Sarah showing off the information he had collected. Sarah was not angry either, and nodded:
"In short, everything on the Black Pearl is normal, but it is precisely because it was so normal in the past that this trip seems so abnormal."
"Oh, what's not normal?" Snow imitated Miss Justice's tone and started to compliment. As expected, Sera puffed up her chest in relief, and then said harder and harder:
"The shipping schedule is abnormal."
After throwing out this answer, Sera took a sip of her drink. Seeing that Snow did not show any expression of thoughtfulness or enlightenment, she said slightly disappointedly:
"General passenger ships need to rest for about three months after one trip. The Black Pearl only makes one trip each year in spring, summer and autumn. But this trip is the first time since it went to sea.
Don’t you think there’s anything wrong with sailing a boat in winter?”
"It's interesting." Snow began to think along with Sera's words, but found that his knowledge in this area was somewhat lacking.
Although the original book has a complete description of the crazy adventurer's sea hunting, after all, it is just an experience on a route, because the goal has always been clear, but it does not involve too much sea knowledge.
"The more interesting things are yet to come!" Sierra became more and more excited as she spoke, and even started waving her arms. Seeing that she might attract too much attention, Snow immediately tossed a coin to decide whether to help her cover up.
But it’s a pity——
back.
Ignoring Sera's flamboyant movements, Snow listened intently to her next words——
"Generally speaking, when a ship encounters a storm, it will find a way to avoid it, or simply find a nearby island to take shelter. But when the storm hit last night, the ship plunged into the storm, and its speed was actually faster than
Under normal circumstances, it’s more than 30% faster!”
"Storm Sailing...are you saying that this ship is a 'ghost ship'?"
Snow touched his chin thoughtfully. The so-called ghost ship does not mean that the ship is really a ghost, but refers to a magical item ship with "living characteristics".
Because it has the ability to cast spells and has certain characteristics of being alive, it is called a ghost ship.
Of course, the vast majority of ghost ships are indeed ghosts. This is because their negative effects mean that no living person can sail the ship at all, and those ghost ships that can be controlled by people are quite sought after secret treasures on the sea.
If the Black Pearl is a ghost ship, what is its path?
If you sail through the storm, will you be a navigator?
"The possibility is not small. In fact, I checked the Black Pearl's sailing records over the years and found that no accidents were caused by bad weather. This seems to be a ship designed to sail in bad weather." Serra
Ruo Ruo said pointedly, and Snow gradually thought of something. He recalled the descriptions of various sea treasures and areas with rough sea conditions in the original book and frowned:
"The weather god? Or the sea god?"
"You know?" Sera was startled by the two "gods" that Snow spit out, and then made a quieter gesture, "Although it shouldn't have anything to do with them, it's almost the same! I suspect that the Black Pearl
The target is a special sea area created by the legacy of a certain high-sequence strongman, just like the legendary violent sea left by the God of Death..."
"Is this why you chose this ship?" Snow seemed to understand Sera's thoughts, but Sera shook her head, "Actually, it was only yesterday that I finally confirmed that this ship is a ghost ship.
So when we get on the boat, the main thing is to follow this guy..."
Saying that, Sera took out a portrait from her handbag. The portrait was of a young man, at least twenty-three or fourteen years old. His appearance could barely meet the standards for joining the Aurora Society, and his smile was very sunny.
Seeing this portrait, Snow looked at Sera with some surprise and said speechlessly:
"Your crush?"
"No!" Sierra denied decisively, and then explained, "His name is Jack, a street painter who occasionally does some petty theft. He has been living in Pulitzer Harbor before..."
"Wait, please let me slow down..." Snow suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Sera's words, pinched his eyebrows and said:
"Don't tell me that there is a wealthy daughter named Rousi on this ship, traveling with his fiancé and a priceless gemstone..."
"Have you also seen Russell the Great's opera "Titanic"? Oh, you are also a writer, so it is normal for you to read Russell the Great's works." Serra said, suddenly realizing that she had been beaten by Snow.
His thoughts were confused, he shook his head vigorously and said:
"Unlike that Jack, this thief Jack is very strange. I originally just investigated the ships that were about to sail recently. In addition to the Black Pearl, there are two other ships that are also a bit strange.
For example, the White Onyx, captained by 'Just Ireland', was very rarely postponed this time, and the reason was the ridiculous purchase of low-quality drinks. There was also the Emerald, which was inexplicably collected before sailing.
A large amount of animal offal that cannot be preserved...
During the investigation, I discovered that this thief frequently wandered around the ticket office. Although this was normal for a thief, I noticed that his targets were all passengers who had purchased tickets for the Black Pearl, and in
Two hours before the ship sailed, he suddenly disappeared in Pulitzer Harbor. Immediately afterwards, the punishers of the Church of Storms began to patrol around the port and searched all the ships. What do you think this means?"
"The Punisher, or the Church of Storms, has been staring at Jack..." Snow's brows gradually frowned, and a somewhat similar character emerged in his mind.
He looked at Sera calmly, until her eyes shifted slightly, and then he said:
"So, there may be some kind of secret in this Jack, and this secret is related to the Black Pearl. The reason why the Black Pearl abnormally chooses to go to sea in winter is because of this secret?"
"Well, that's what I think. I even suspect that Jack is the orphan of an ancient family, and the Church of Storms is keeping an eye on him because of the secrets he may have. I just don't know who he and Salazar are.
What does it have to do with..." Sera said, and suddenly she saw Snow flicking the coin in his hand, and her eyes suddenly showed a light of hope. But what she didn't know was that Snow was not doing divination, but judging——
Do you want to inform Sera about the information about the thief you heard yesterday?
