Parallel Army - The Sound of the Turning Tide Chapter 87 Ghost Ship
"There is some black air on the sea in that direction, and when it rises to the height of clouds, it will fall back to the nearby sea. It looks very dangerous." Heath immediately reminded.
"It has nothing to do with us, right?" Fageni said nonchalantly. In fact, he didn't see anything.
"If it has something to do with the evil god, then it has something to do with us." Alexander stepped onto the ship's deck and handed the tin fish bucket containing fish eggs to Shuge, then took the bow off his back and took it into his hand.
There may still be some marcasite ore on the island, and the open-pit mined part alone can be sold for hundreds of linseys. If the collection continues, there will be more, but it is difficult to say whether the black gas will cause some accidents.
Alexander quickly went to ask the head maid and the captain of the guard if they knew what it was, but the two sea tribesmen didn't see anything. But the two sea tribesmen didn't see anything. Later, she asked Shuge and other crew members and they got the same answer.
.
Alexander quickly asked Heath and Fageni to carry the marcasite that was open to the ship, and then he grabbed the rope ladder of the mast and climbed up to the watchtower to observe the direction of the black gas.
Alexander felt that the location of the black gas seemed to be a little closer to the ship than before. She ordered the ship to return while trying to identify what it was.
Alexander thought this might be some kind of aura, even though she didn't know magic. As a result, the speed of the black air was getting faster and faster. When the group's ship sailed fifty miles towards the route, the black air column still caught up with it.
Except for Alexander and Heath, what they saw was a black air column. What everyone else saw was a dilapidated ship covered with green algae. Yes, this thing is a ghost ship. The speed of the ghost ship is a little faster than the group's ship.
.
"What?" Fageni looked at the ghost ship. "What is this ghost thing? A ship? How can it drive so fast?" Fageni expressed great confusion.
"I can't see anything but black energy. But it seems I can't run away. Get ready to fight!" The view from the watchtower was better. Alexander stretched his bow and shot an arrow, but the wind was too strong and it was deflected.
"Ah? Isn't that thing a pillar spreading black energy? How can it be a ship? Anyway, we can't let that thing get close to us!" Hitz shouted.
Shuge pushed the bow cannon over, adjusted the angle and fired a shot at the ghost ship. Although it was aimed at the hull, the cannonball flew towards their mast, and finally the cannonball penetrated the ghost ship and flew past.
Fageni pulled out the bone knife, and a sword aura "splashed" over it. Several people didn't understand what was going on, but in short, neither the head maid's wave nor Fageni's aura took effect. But the aura seemed to
Instead of passing through, it collapsed directly.
"It prevented my attack, or the sword power disappeared on its own." Fageni shouted.
Alexander came down from the observation deck and stared at the black air. "Is it useless? It may be some kind of thing that isolates long-range attacks? Prepare for a boarding battle."
As soon as Alexander finished speaking, his feet suddenly turned into a broken deck. The ship they were on looked like a wrecked ship that had been beaten by waves and roared by the sea wind for fifteen years.
The sea area was immediately filled with black mist. There were already several hooks on the ghost ship holding ropes to the mast and railings of the ship. Six skeletons wearing pirate hats jumped over like swings...
"Huh?" At this moment, Fageni thought of the rumors about the Cursed Island that he had heard before.
"Hey, eh, eh." Alexander also remembered the pirate captain's knife, but unfortunately it was taken away by Kanas.
Susie, who had turned into a spirit body, struck out without permission and bit a skeleton pirate on the neck with a swoop, which shocked Alexander. "Susie! Be careful!" She felt a little anxious when she saw Susie pounce on him alone.
Seeing this, the deputy captain at the front turned around and slashed with his sword. Silver light flashed, and the chopped skull turned into black smoke and merged into the black mist.
Fageni held the knife in both hands and slashed down. A gradually solidifying wave of air rushed towards the unclean creatures boarding the ship, and then put up a defensive posture. This move was not weak but it was not effective. The group of skeletons temporarily turned into
Heiyan dodged this range attack.
Alexander calmly fired one shot, but the arrow penetrated the black smoke, and then the skeleton's body solidified again.
"What's going on? The attacks don't work?" Fageni shouted.
This pirate is close to the strength of a C-level mercenary. Although the speed of the knife is very fast and weird, it is not too powerful. Alexander predicted it in advance and avoided it. Then another skeleton slashed at Fageni, and he just twisted the knife to let it go.
It was struck on the leather armor at a side angle but failed to penetrate.
However, as a pure spellcaster, Hitz did not have the hard power of the two of them. He was bullied by two skeletons and suffered a lot of damage. Of course, if he was a first-time adventurer, he would die after being hacked.
The head maid released a personal shield like a water film on several people.
Shuge had already run away, but he picked up a stick and came back, aiming it at a skeleton that was attacking Heath. The stick knocked the skeleton apart, but the bones scattered on the ground soon turned black.
Smoked.
"Can an ordinary stick hit? Is it just immune to long-range attacks?" Alexander reacted immediately.
Hitz began to chant magic, first with a fireball spell. As a result, an explosion of magic and elemental energy swept through the dilapidated ship. The skeletons did not receive any damage, but she caused huge damage to the deck.
"Is it really broken??" Fageni was very surprised. This was a ship that the mercenary group bought with money, and it was a fixed asset.
The black mist was stirred by elements and magic, and a vortex formed above your heads. Alexander immediately shouted: "That's enough, stop the long-range attacks!" Later, the ship repair fee cost forty-five linseys, which was recorded in Shiz's account.
.
"Ahem, sorry, my elemental spell seems to be completely ineffective, so I have to rely on you next." Hitz was embarrassed.
"How did you attack them? What did you use?" Fageni dodged another blow and asked the captain of the guard during the battle.
"It's nothing, just kill it." Naga shouted in blunt common language, and killed another one.
"Large-range attacks are ineffective, long-range attacks are ineffective, and magic is ineffective, but ordinary melee combat can break it. What the hell is this?" Fageni was very confused, but as expected, he could easily smash one.
"No matter what it is, it's not difficult to deal with anyway." Shouge waved his short stick to parry the oncoming rusty scimitar - he was a bit too short.
Fageni raised his knife and slashed at one of them again, and then continued to assume a swaying defensive posture.
Alexander held the bow in her left hand, and used the emblem's sword-turning ability for the first time in battle. A lavender cross sword was instantly grasped by her in her right hand, and then she also killed a pirate skeleton.
At this time, the one in Susie's mouth also turned into black smoke. The she-wolf howled at the ghost ship and jumped on it.
"Susie?!" Alexander was surprised.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, another skeleton pirate boarded the ship in the same way and landed suddenly.
"There is something strange about this ship," the deputy captain of the guard said in a deep voice. After saying that, he rushed forward with a knife. Xiuge picked up the lid of a wooden barrel and used it as a shield and followed closely.
"Damn it!" Alexander changed his field of view and cut to the scene that Susie saw. "I know that being dragged here will definitely cause problems." "Fageni, you stay here, Shiz, come with me!" She said
Quickly jump on the ghost ship and follow Susie.
"Okay." The Fagoniti knife rushed towards the newly arrived skeletons on the deck and dragged them to prevent the slower Heath from being disturbed in his movement.
Alexander landed perfectly where she wanted to jump. Hitz was still frightened, but she still mustered up the courage to take a few steps back and jumped over. Although she found the landing point, she still almost hit her five feet away.
's mast.
The two of them made a brief observation and found that the deck of this ghost ship was better preserved than the deck built by Hitz.
Alexander switched Susie's vision again and quickly followed. "Go this way."
Susie quickly ran to a captain's cabin, which was full of blood and contained a wooden treasure chest. Then Susie dissipated and returned to Alexander's body.
"Did you follow the smell of blood? It's weird, isn't she a spirit now?" Alexander ran towards the captain's room. "If nothing else, the ghost of the captain of this ship should be in that position."
Alexander ran to the captain's cabin, but nothing happened along the way. The treasure chest lay quietly in front of her.
Alexander moved to the back of the treasure chest and tried to open it. There was a box of gold nuggets, several gems of various colors, and a blood-stained silver ring. At the same time, Hitz heard the sound of fighting behind him disappear, and it seemed that skeletons no longer appeared.
The pirates are here, but Fagni and the others are not injured yet.
For Fageni and the captain of the guard, these pirates are really not enough to watch, but if they deal with ordinary sailors, they will be exhausted if they don't scare them out of courage.
"Alexander, those skeleton pirates seem to have disappeared." Hitz ran outside the captain's room and shouted nonchalantly on the deck to inform Alexander.
Alexander panicked and saw a very bloody scene where the captain died and the pirates died fighting for gold. There were indeed six pirates in the scene, and the weapon that fell into the sea with the captain before his death was exactly
The handful you saw Kanas took away, I guess they were the same person.
Alexander looked around the room warily. "Is there nothing?"
As soon as the battle on Fageni's side ended, he heard Hitz's cry. "Did Alexander do something?" He muttered to himself as he approached the edge of Class A.
[It’s really weird. According to the plot of the stories told by the sailors, shouldn’t the captain of this ship run out and fight with us at this time? That’s right, if it is that guy, he is not in the material plane.] Alexander cautiously
Touching the ring, she felt that it was a cursed piece of equipment.
"Ah, I saw a vision. The captain of this ship seems to be the one we saw at Black Eyes before." Alexander put away the ring, then moved the box away and continued to say to Hitz: "Let's go back and find it again."
Let someone identify this and see if the ship can be sailed away."
Hitz walked up to Alexander and offered his hand. "Okay." At this time, the black energy began to fade, and the ghost ship was disappearing.
"Damn it, it's better not to move. This ship must be much more expensive than these things." Alexander cursed and jumped back into the ship with the box in his arms.
"Well, Alexander, don't be angry. It's pretty good to earn all this." Hitz saw that except for the places she had damaged, everything had improved.
Alexander put the box down. "There shouldn't be any other threats nearby, right? Do you mind if we go back and dig up the remaining marcasite? It shouldn't take long."
The last few people turned around and dug up the remaining marcasite before returning, and this incident was over.
"Hmm... I think, first of all, we take almost 200 linseys of marcasite, and then give 100 linseys of marcasite to the head maid and captain of the guard, and the rest should be divided among the crew. What do you think? ?" Alexander felt that he was a guest after all, and he needed to express his gratitude.
"What do you want for the mine? Give them money. They want the mine for no use." What Fageni said was actually wrong.
"We don't have any money on hand, and they left on the way back." Alexander decided to give the gold nugget a try, but found out that they didn't care about it, and just found a box on a sunken ship. However, they were interested in marcasite ore. , said goodbye and jumped into the water holding the box.
After returning to the shore, after counting the marcasite, ICBC's balance, gold nuggets and gems, and a business license, I had exactly 666 Lindsays on hand.
Alexander went to the trading house again and found out that after Gabru sold the holy healing potion, he left two hundred linseys to a few people, and took the remaining money to Sima City.
At the same time, the Church of the Holy God of Glory made new discoveries. The seals of many evil gods in Endigon were beginning to loosen, but there were only a few small churches there. They also had to guard against the evil gods in the sea, and they had no manpower.
Honorary believer Alexander is very willing to help. But now there is another thing. A country in the far east called the Principality of Cyrus wants to have friendly discussions with the Alliance and the Empire. A big thing has surfaced. This country Alexander I heard it in the town of Tours, it is also a coastal country.
The church also inadvertently revealed the word "Snowstorm of the End" to Alexander, and Sophia once heard the message brought by the wind in the prairie of Haven Province.
The situation in the entire world began to be turbulent and seemed to be deteriorating. Alexander could vaguely realize this from the soul level.
First of all, you have to go to Sima City, take good care of the two little guys, arrange some things in your hands, and digest the recent improvement in strength.
It is estimated that the ship will be used when going to the Principality in the future. Duke Lelan said that he can leave it here and strengthen it by the way.
After that, the three of them set off to Guzhuo Town again to join Sophia and others.
