Deep Sea Embers

In this way, a ship "rises" up from the sea in a shocking way, and appears in front of Fanna and Nina.

The waves on the sea haven't stopped yet, layers of turbulent currents spread around the center of the rusty ship, and the sea water keeps falling from its rusted chimneys and deck buildings, making a loud and noisy sound. Slightly swaying between them, the slanted sunlight sprinkled on its deck, as if diffused with an unreal color.

Nina was dumbfounded, and it took several seconds for her to realize, she immediately yelled, "Ah! Ship! A ship! A ship popped out of nowhere!"

Immediately afterwards, she suddenly turned to Fan Na, speaking quickly: "I'm going to tell Uncle Duncan!"

Before the words fell, the girl turned around and ran across the deck like a gust of wind, and ran towards the stern.

Fan Na was still staring at the strange ship that suddenly emerged from the sea, observing the decayed traces and every detail on the ship.

She noticed a row of huge letters on the side of the bow—the letters were covered with severe rust marks and dirt, making it difficult to decipher, but she managed to read them:

"The Obsidian."

The sudden appearance of the mysterious ship on the sea made a lot of noise. Of course, Nina and Fanna were not the only ones who noticed it. After a while, other people who were resting in the cabin gathered on the deck, including Morris. , Shirley, Agou and Alice, they came to the bow of the ship in amazement, looked at the strange ship not far away, guessed its origin, and soon, Duncan followed Nina to the ship head deck.

"Mr. Duncan," Fan Na immediately said after seeing Duncan, "There is no sign of living people on that ship, it may be...a ghost ship."

When the word "ghost ship" was said, the expression on the young judge's face was somewhat strange.

"Come with me," Duncan replied casually, and looked up at the "ghost ship" that seemed to be only half the size of the Lost Homeland. He first noticed the chimney structure on the upper level of the ship, "It looks like a steam ship. Can you guess the approximate year and origin of the ship?"

"No need to speculate," Morris' voice suddenly sounded from the side, and the old scholar looked at the distant sea with a trace of complexity in his eyes, "I saw its name—the Obsidian, the steam clipper, six years ago sunk in the frosty sea."

"Ah?" Shirley, who was stretching her neck beside her, looked at the old man in surprise, "Master, do you know that ship?"

"Brown Scott got into an accident on that ship," Morris said in a slightly low voice, "but...how did it suddenly appear here? And it's still in this way..."

Alice on the side listened to other people's conversations, looked up at the "Obsidian" in the distance, and then looked back at Morris and Duncan. After thinking for a long time, she finally said: "Captain, is this normal? Will the boat come up again from the sea?"

"Of course this is not a normal situation," Duncan glanced at Han Han, "this is called a ghost ship...and I suspect it's not just a ghost ship."

While he was talking, he heard the voice of the goat's head suddenly sounded in his mind: "Captain, do you want to fire two cannons to see? The cannons indicated that they were a little hungry and thirsty looking at this suitable angle and distance, and couldn't help but I want to throw a few shells in the past..."

"Let them bear it!" Duncan interrupted Goat's Head without hesitation, then pondered for a while, then turned to look at the people around him, "We have to go and see the situation."

"We want...to go to that ghost ship?" Shirley shrank her neck when she heard that, "Is it a little rash, I am not afraid of anything else, what should I do if the ship suddenly sinks back, after all It came out of nowhere..."

"Ai will bring us back." Duncan glanced at the girl indifferently, "Of course, you can stay here if you don't want to go, you don't have to force it."

Shirley opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Agou on the side broke the silence first: "Let's go, let's go! It is our duty to serve the captain! We are so happy!"

Shirley was stunned, and then said to her partner in her heart: "Agou, can you be a little bit more principled..."

"Seeing the situation clearly, being active and actively participating in group activities is not a principle?" A Gou spoke plausibly in his spiritual connection, "The boss leads the team without worrying about safety, of course you have to show yourself well..."

"I mean, can you give me the chance to hug your thigh next time? I get snatched by you every time..."

Agou thought for a while: "... Shirley, can you have some principles?"

Duncan didn't care about what Shirley and Agou were communicating in a daze at the same time (he knew that the two 'people' must be muttering in the spiritual connection again in silence), but looked up at the others: " Want to be together?"

"I'm going!" Nina was the first to raise her hand, and she even seemed a little excited, "Hey, I've only heard about the ghost ship from legends and stories before, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes."

"The Lost Home is also a ghost ship," Duncan had to remind the girl, and then looked at the others, "What about you?"

"The clues left by Brown before his accident may be found on that ship," Morris nodded, "I'm with you."

"I'll go too," Fan Na followed up, "The phenomenon of the ghost ship is probably related to heresy or evil erosion. I have some experience in this regard."

"I don't know," Alice thought for a while, looking at Duncan, "but I want to be with the captain."

"Then let's all go, just see the world," Duncan said casually, and waved to the mast not far away, calling down the pigeon that was basking in the sun and resting its eyes, "Ai Yi , take us to that ghost ship to have a look."

A group of dark green flames rose suddenly on the Lost Home, and a moment later, a huge skeleton bird soared into the sky, and rushed towards the "Obsidian" which was shaking slightly with the waves not far away.

Then the deck of the Lost Country fell silent.

This silence lasted for a short while, and a small boat hanging near the side of the Lost Homeland suddenly made a creaking sound and shook in frustration.

It was a shuttle boat, which is normally used to quickly transfer personnel between two ships that are approaching at close range on the sea.

The two cables coiled around the edge of the deck made a rustling sound, squirmed like a snake and came to the side of the shuttle boat, raised the end of the rope and patted on the hull of the boat.

The goat's head staying in the captain's room certainly sensed the situation near the deck, it sighed slightly, and chatted with the old guys on the ship who had been together for a century: "How about...you guys should practice on the small boats in the sea. Use your paddling skills..."

The creaking of the boat was getting louder...

On the other side, Ai, who flew over the Obsidian, did not land immediately, but first circled over the ghost ship several times under Duncan's command, and after roughly confirming that there were no active targets on the entire ship, he landed It landed on a seemingly clean and stable deck.

The dark green flames blazed into the sky, and the figures of Duncan stepped out of the flames.

An obvious filthy smell penetrated into everyone's nostrils almost immediately - it was the stench brought about by soaking in sea water, mixed with some indescribable smells of corruption.

Nina was the first to frown when she came to the deck: "Ugh...the smell is so bad..."

"Not all ghost ships are as clean and tidy as the Lost Homeland, with unlimited supply of French fries," Duncan said to Nina with a smile, "If this ship is really the Obsidian, then it is already in Soaked in the deep sea for six years."

As he spoke, he looked around at the steamship that was full of weirdness.

Rusted, dilapidated, and stained—it may have been a beautiful and advanced mechanical clipper, but now there is only a pile of lifeless steel and wood left here, and the weirder thing is that, as a just The boat had just floated up from the sea, but the sea water on it was gone.

The deck is dry.

Even the many sunken places in the deck, where water should have collected easily, were now dry.

Fan Na obviously noticed this too, she squatted down, rubbed the ground with her fingers, and frowned slightly.

She still remembered the scene when the ship floated up from the sea. At that time, a large amount of sea water poured down from the Obsidian, which looked like an endless waterfall. The sea water washed all corners of the entire ship—from common sense Judging, there can be no dry places on this ship.

"Fanna," Morris turned his head after roughly observing the surrounding situation, "do you feel the breath of heresy or evil corruption?"

"...No." Fan Na frowned and slowly shook her head. She had been paying attention to this point from the moment she first stepped on the deck, and she was always aware of the fluctuations of extraordinary power around her. "There is no extraordinary aura, But this is even more wrong-the deck is dry, which is obviously abnormal, and there must be extraordinary forces involved behind the abnormal phenomenon."

"Then it may be an extraordinary power beyond your perception," Duncan said casually, and then walked forward, "Anyway, if there is really something hidden on this ship, then we just need to look for it, and it will definitely appear here."

Nina quickly ran two steps to catch up with her Uncle Duncan: "What if something really jumped out?"

Duncan stopped and turned his head with a smile on his face: "In short, try to reason first..."
