"I can't help you with this matter." After listening to Wei En's account, Zhu Qing gave an unceremonious rejection.

Wei En was startled and said: "What? Even if there is a ghost in the Salamento Castle, it won't be a problem for you."

Zhu Qing said lightly: "It's not that I can't, it's that I don't want to."

"Why don't you want to?"

"According to what you said, the ghost did not harm the people. Why did you recruit him?" Zhu Qing replied.

Wei En was a little angry after hearing this: "Didn't I tell you? The Queen Mother asked me to go."

"So what if the Queen Mother asks you to kill someone? In my eyes, your Queen Mother is no different from ordinary people." Zhu Qing glanced at Wei En, with disdain in his eyes: "Greed is really part of you humans.

Nature, if that so-called ghost didn't protect the legendary wealth, would you still be so interested? Sorry, both ghosts and humans are equal beings in my eyes, and there is no distinction between high and low."

Wei En said: "Don't put such a big hat on me. I didn't go to Rhode Island for some treasure this time." After a pause, he sighed and said: "Zhu Qing, I admit that what you said is true.

The truth is worth pondering. But everyone has different reasons for doing things, so you have your freedom and I won’t force you."

Zhu Qing thought for a while and said: "I'd better go with you, but I've made it clear first that unless your life is in danger, I won't take action, let alone help you with any ridiculous exorcisms.

.”

"Whatever you want." Wei En replied

Next, Wei En held a meeting with everyone and arranged Zi Qiangwei's work. Except for Ruola's accident, everyone had no objections. "I object!" After learning Wei En's whereabouts and arrangements, Ruola

He yelled: "Last time you and Vincent went to the Oak Church, you didn't call me. As a result, I missed a wonderful adventure. This time, I will go with you no matter what."

"The objection is invalid." Wei En said seriously: "You think this is a trip to the mountains and rivers, there is danger."

"I won't go if it's not dangerous." Ruola curled her lips and said, "Now that you know a little bit of magic, you start to look down on others? If you don't accept it, it won't take three minutes for us to go out."

Wei En just pretended not to hear and turned to look at the others: "If you don't have any objections, then let's do this." After saying that, he stood up and left the room.

Ruola's little face was white with anger. She sat there and ignored Julie and Carmen's consolation. She gritted her teeth and said, "Well, you are so kind, just wait and see!"

Two days later, in the early morning, Wei En and Vincent packed up, said goodbye to everyone, and got on the carriage heading to the dock. Wei En waved to everyone through the car window while facing Vincent who was sitting next to him.

Said: “Why didn’t you see Ruola?”

"I didn't see her all day yesterday. I guess she went back to school angry." Vincent stared at Fanny standing in front of Carmen and said casually.

The carriage started to move, and everyone was quickly left behind by the carriage. Wei En said: "Be angry when you are angry. I will buy her more souvenirs in Rhode Island. A young girl will definitely not hold a grudge."

Vincent looked back and said with a smile: "You said it quite easily."

The carriage arrived at the Watergate Pier. Wei En got out of the car with his suitcase and found Xiao Te waiting at the pier. Wei En walked over with a smile and said, "You can just ask someone to take us on board, why bother?"

Would you have run over here in person?"

Xiaote smiled slightly: "When a strong man leaves, why should I give you something? Have you put away the things I gave you yesterday?"

Wei En said: "Is it the authorization letter? It has been collected."

"Is there only a power of attorney?" Xiaote's eyes narrowed.

"Oh, the clothes are in the box. I have already tried them on, and they are just right. Xiaote, I didn't expect that when I was measuring my body at Fontainebleau Champs, you actually remembered my size. Did you write it down with a pen?" Wei En?

asked with a smile.

"Although these clothes are thicker, the sea breeze in the morning and evening is very cold. Wear them to avoid getting cold. These clothes are specially made and can be waterproof for a short time." Xiao Te avoided answering. Vincent walked beside them.

Hearing this, he shook his head and smiled slightly, with a somewhat mysterious expression.

"By the way, the garrison governor of Rhode Island is Colonel Jane Fontaine. If you need military assistance, you can go to him directly and he will provide you with support." Xiao Te continued without waiting for Wei En to speak.

Wei En nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."

The three of them talked as they walked, and came to a ketch. Wei En looked around and saw that the ship was not big and looked very flexible. The green-gray bow was painted with a silver-blue name: Mayflower.

"Mayflower, the name is very nice." Wei En said with a smile.

"Isn't this the general's ship?" Vincent asked in surprise.

"Well, it belongs to my father. My father said it would be faster on his boat."

Vincent said: "I remember when I was lucky enough to ride on the Mayflower, the captain told me that the entire ship's keel was made of precious mahogany. The cabins used watertight compartments and double-bottom technology. The outside of the hull was made of

Good tung oil caulking has good sinking resistance. If the Mayflower suddenly encounters a storm, even if there is water in one or two cabins or the outer bottom, the whole ship will not sink."

"You have a good memory." Xiao Te smiled and said, "Father said that this ship is the masterpiece of the master shipbuilder Charman. The entire ship was designed and supervised by him personally. Every detail is meticulously crafted and it took a year.

Just finished.”

Vincent nodded and said: "The Mayflower is indeed fast and stable. It can be called an elf in the sea."

The three people walked quickly through the gangway and stepped onto the deck. A crew member came up to them. Judging by their clothes, they were either the captain or the first mate. Half an hour later, a clear bell rang on the mast, the anchor rose, and the Mayflower gradually left.

After sailing ashore, Wei En and Vincent stood by the steering wheel of the bridge and waved goodbye to Xiao Te on the shore. Xiao Te stood in the light of the rising sun and slowly watched the Mayflower disappear from sight.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Vincent came to the deck, looked at Wei En who was leaning on the side of the ship and leaning out of the ship, and asked, "How do you feel?"

Wei En looked at Vincent, his face as pale as the moonlight above the two of them, and said: "It's not good, I almost vomited out my intestines."

"Have you never been to the sea?" Vincent asked with a smile.

Wei En shook his head: "I just asked the captain and he said that it will take a week to get to Rhode Island. I estimate that I can lose ten pounds in the past few days."

Vincent laughed and said: "It's not that exaggerated. You will get used to it in two days. Taking the Mayflower is almost the fastest speed. If you take an ordinary passenger ship and stop and go, it will take half a month."

Can’t get there.”

Wei En stared at the waves cracked by the hull of the ship in ecstasy, without answering.

"Weien, what are you going to do when you get to Rhode Island?" Vincent asked.

Wei En pondered for a while and said: "I want to contact the local officials first to see what kind of support I can get."

"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."

"Why?" Wei En was stunned after hearing this.

"Although Rhode Island is large, its geographical location is not very good. Its climate is very dry and hot. Except for the southeastern coast, the interior of the island is almost entirely barren and arid sandy land and mountains. Rhode Island's economy is backward and people's lives are poor.

Poverty, with almost nothing to produce except some seafood, the city of Massa where Salamento Castle is located is the county seat of the county. Compared with the mainland, it is far inferior to even medium-sized cities like Plimpton.

The emergence of a miser Richelieu in Saramento is actually not necessarily a bad thing for Massa, because the ghost attracts many uninvited guests, and even some tourists who come here to visit. No matter what their purpose is,

But after all, they need food and shelter..."

Wei En said "Oh" and said: "This is equivalent to bringing a lot of wealth to the city of Massa down the mountain."

"Yes. Although the reputation of being haunted is not good, for the city of Massa, it is a real income. Richelieu does not harass ordinary people, so the government officials of Rhode Island have always paid no attention to the castle.

No matter what, they even obeyed the people sent by the church and secretly undermined them. Otherwise, after so many years, as soon as the army came out, all the ghosts would be wiped out."

Wei Enruo had some realization and said, "Then what do you think?"

"I don't have any good ideas right now, but we can change our clothes and head to Massa City without alerting the local government. Maybe we can learn some real and useful information."

Wei En said: "What a good idea. Then we can't disembark at the Rhode Island Pier as originally planned. We have to change the place."

"This is easy to handle. The coastline of Rhode Island is uneven and there are many natural havens. When we are almost there, just ask the captain to find a place to drop us quietly."

Wei En clapped his hands and said, "Okay, that's it."

Vincent was about to speak when his eyes suddenly froze and he looked at the back of a sailor and thought: "Why does this back look so familiar?"

Wei En followed Vincent's gaze and said with a smile: "Didn't you ride on the Mayflower before? Maybe you are an old friend..." After taking a closer look, he said in surprise: "No! This back view"

I’ve seen it somewhere too!”
