Chapter 717 The Disappearing Ship

This is a wooden boat, or to be more precise, a very dilapidated wooden boat. Even the white sails have rotted to the point that only gray rags remain.

As for the type of boat, Angell himself cannot tell. But he thinks that this boat is extremely simple and indeed has obvious differences from modern boats.

Especially the figurehead. Modern boats often depict statues that can deter sea beasts, but the figurehead of this wooden boat is a semicircular feather that looks like a peacock spreading its tail. These feathers still have residual colors. If it is really a ship from three thousand years ago as Helen said, it must have been a very bright figurehead when it was intact.

The overall impression that this boat gave Angell was that it was a dilapidated and stale old boat.

"Logically, a dilapidated ship like this should sink to the bottom of the sea, why is it drifting on the sea?"

When Angell was puzzled, he heard the sailors' terrified discussion below.

"Ghost ship?" Angel caught the point of their discussion, and then looked at the ship carefully. It really looked like a ghost ship.

Seeing that the discussion was getting more and more heated, the fear began to spread. Angel frowned and jumped directly onto the deck.

Angel glanced at everyone, and in an instant, everyone was silent.

Angel came directly to Helen: "Do you know this ship?"

"I haven't seen it, but the ship's shape is not modern, it looks very much like the ship's shape in the Golden Age three thousand years ago." Helen said immediately.

"To be precise, it's an exploration ship in the Golden Age." At this time, Alvin walked out of the cabin and said respectfully to Angel.

According to Alvin's explanation, the ship's shape came from the Feilan Continent. The Feilan Continent three thousand years ago was a period of reconstruction, known as the Golden Age. People were not satisfied with the resources on the mainland and became interested in the outside world, so they began to explore the sea and entered an era of navigation. The ship type was the symbol of the exploration ship of that era of navigation.

After Alvin finished explaining, he looked at the ship that was getting closer and closer with a puzzled look: "This is a typical three-sailed ship, but the exposed keel has cracks. Why hasn't it sunk yet? Could it really be... a ghost ship?"

"We'll know if we go over and take a look."

Angel's words made Helen and Alvin dissuade him in unison: "Sir, there are countless strange things in the Devil's Sea. Even places that look very ordinary are lurking with great danger."

"Don't worry, I don't feel any energy fluctuations inside, and I don't have any premonition of danger."

"If you really want to go, you can use the exploration puppet." Helen suddenly remembered something: "There is an exploration puppet in the bottom cabin, but we can't control it. Only the wizard can use it."

Angel had actually used his mental tentacles to secretly explore the "ghost ship" and didn't find anything abnormal, so he decided to go on board to take a look. However, since Helen said there was an exploration puppet on the ship, Angel didn't insist.

The Detection Puppet is a very low-level alchemical tool, and Angel can also refine it himself.

Its appearance is a small round ball, like an eyeball, which can be a continuation of the wizard's eyes... In fact, the effect is similar to that of the wizard's eye.

For those apprentices who have not learned the wizard's eye trick, this is a relatively useful alchemical tool. The only flaw is that its detection distance is only one kilometer, which is much closer than the wizard's eye.

After Angel activated the detection puppet, a pair of eyeballs with transparent wings slowly flew up. Passing over the foggy sea, it landed directly on the ghost ship.

In Angel's vision, the ghost ship was similar to what he had just detected with his mental tentacles. There were not many abnormalities, it was tattered, and even a hole was broken on the deck.

Along the hole, the detection puppet flew into the inner cabin.

It was pitch black inside, but there was a lighting device on the detection puppet, so it was not so clear that nothing could be seen.

But just after the light rose, Angel's brows suddenly frowned.

Helen and Alvin, who were standing beside him, felt a little nervous and thought to themselves: Is there really any danger on the ship?

Helen swallowed her saliva dryly and signaled all the sailors with her eyes to take their positions. If there was any abnormality, she was ready to speed up at any time.

"Strange, the inside of the cabin is wet."

Hearing Angel's low voice, Helen sighed: "My lord, this ship stays in the fog all year round, it should be normal to be a little damp, right?"

"No, it doesn't necessarily stay in the fog all year round." Angel frowned: "I can tell the difference between dampness and being soaked in water. Its cabin is soaked in water, and the exploration puppet has not reached the bottom yet, it is only on the first floor below the deck."

Seeing that Helen and Alvin did not understand what he meant, Angel simply snapped his fingers, and an illusion appeared in front of them.

He entered the cabin with the exploration puppet and showed them the situation inside through illusion.

Helen and Alvin were surprised by this magical illusion, but the surprise soon disappeared because they were attracted by the scene in the illusion.

"It is indeed a trace of being soaked in water!" Helen said, and suddenly said: "Moreover, there are no water marks on the wooden boards on the wall. It seems that they were in the water not long ago, but were pulled out of the water in an instant, otherwise there must be water marks."

After listening to Helen's words, Angel also noticed this.

"It's true as Vice Captain Helen said, but it doesn't make sense logically. Could it be that this ship sank in the sea before and now it suddenly floats to the surface?"

After Angel finished speaking, he suddenly paused: "In this weird devil's sea, any possibility may appear. Maybe it is really possible, but if it had been in the sea before, it would have been full of sediment, right?" There’s no sediment here.”

Unable to explain this strange situation, Angel simply continued walking forward. Anyway, when he comes out later, he can let the exploration puppet bring some residual water. Then he will know if it is sea water.

Angel continued to control the exploration puppet to go down. Most of the cabins were the same. Moreover, they were all soaked by water.

But other than that, there is nothing unusual about it. The only abnormality is probably that it is too clean. You can obviously see some daily utensils in each cabin, but there are no traces of human beings, not even the bones of the dead.

Until the exploration puppet came to the bottom.

Here he saw a huge hole, with dark water below.

"Why didn't the seawater overflow into the hole?" Helen looked suspicious: "Such a big hole is enough to sink this ship, how can it still be floating on the sea?"

"Take a closer look." Angel suddenly said.

The picture in the illusion was focused on the hole.

Helen was confused at first, but suddenly she seemed to remember something, and she looked at Alvin and ran together. They came to the edge of the boat rail and looked down.

"This ship has not touched the sea surface at all, it is suspended above the sea surface!" The ship is extremely close to the sea surface, and it is difficult to detect anything even if you look closely. However, there are no ripples on the sea surface, which confirms that the ship is The ship did not make contact with the sea.

Suspended on the surface of the sea, so sea water cannot overflow.

But why it is suspended in the sea is another question. However, this alone gave everyone a creepy feeling.

"Sir, do you want to continue exploring?"

At this time, Angel was a little glad that he had not boarded the ship. He clearly did not feel any energy fluctuations in this ship, but it was suspended directly on the sea. It was indeed too weird.

However, Angel was not willing to give up halfway through the investigation.

"Go to the captain's cabin and have a look." Although Angel said categorically that he would continue to explore, he had already taken off his right glove to make up for the declining nightmare aura on the Yunluo. Obviously, he didn't feel like it in his heart. So calm.

The exploration puppet started to go up. The captain's cabin is usually on the top floor, and this ship is the same.

As soon as he opened the captain's cabin, a burst of dust flew out from inside.

"There is dust, which means there is very little moisture inside." Helen wondered, why are the captain's cabin and the outside in two different states?

In the illusion, the dust disappeared, revealing the captain's cabin. Rotten, old furniture and rags were strewn all over the place. In addition, there are more gold jewelry here, and they are all intact.

"This is indeed the style of the Shining Gold Age, and judging from the decoration, it is very likely that it was a noble ship." Alwin pointed at the carvings of several ornaments.

At this time, the exploration puppet was aimed at the desk near the window.

After entering the ship, the first and only skeleton was displayed here.

Helen: "This skeleton should be the captain of this ship, right? Judging from the rotten clothes, it must have been very delicate before. But why does this skeleton have no head?"

This is a headless corpse.

Why is there only one skeleton in the entire ship, and this skeleton is missing its head?

The ship is full of anomalies and irregularities, but strangely enough, there has been no danger so far.

While Angel was thinking about the key here, an exclamation from a sailor suddenly came from the deck. Helen looked over in confusion, and her pupils shrank suddenly: "Sir, the bottom of this ship has disappeared!"

Angel suddenly looked up and saw that the bottom of the ship was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The entire ship seemed to be embedded in another dimension, but in just two seconds, the disappearance range had reached the deck.

Seeing that the disappearance area was about to reach the deck, Angel frowned, controlled the exploration puppet to pick up a parchment on the desk in front of him, and then ran out of the window quickly.

When the scouting puppets returned to the Yunluo, the ship in front of them had completely disappeared, leaving only a white mist around them.

It was as if all previous experiences were like a phantom bubble.

But the exploration of the leather scroll held by the puppet clearly told others that the ship definitely existed before.

"Sir, what on earth is going on?"

"I don't know, maybe it's some kind of strange phenomenon, or maybe there's an alien space here." Angel shook his head and looked at the leather scroll in his hand.
