: Running in circles

The ship looked like it had been soaked in sea water and was rotten to the point of disgrace. It felt like it might sink at any time.

Therefore, after a few people boarded the ship, they did not consider going to the lower cabin and went straight to the bridge and captain's cabin on the top floor.

Pei Renli used a detection magic to confirm that there were no undead creatures in the ship. As a T, Michelle kicked the door panel, causing the entire rotten door panel to shatter.

Behind the door is the captain's cabin. Like other places, there are signs of water soaking everywhere, and large areas of mold-like algae and barnacles appear in many places.

But unlike the empty deck outside, there was a skeleton in the captain's cabin.

It seems to be fixed here, with both hands pressed to his chest. At first glance, it looks like he is performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on himself.

But when everyone entered the captain's cabin and looked at it from a different angle, they discovered that the skeleton was holding a rusty and shapeless knife in both hands, and the blade had almost completely penetrated the heart.

"It was like suicide, very precise stabbing through the heart."

Michelle checked it and found that it was indeed just a corpse, and whispered a prayer of eulogy, roughly equal to Amitabha and Amen.

Eve looked forward and said doubtfully:

"Why is the skeleton still biting a piece of bone in its mouth?"

"That's the tibia"

Pei Renli also looked forward and added:

"It should be a human tibia."

“…..”

"No, are you sure it's not from a cow?"

"The femoral bones of cows are not that thin, and if you think about it, although there were many sea ghouls that attacked the Pink Dumbo just now, they were not enough to sail the same ship."

Not-so-good associations immediately came to everyone's mind.

"Trek, not enough food, a closed environment with a lot of people, plus ghouls."

"Stop talking, I don't want to hear it!"

Kaya leaned against the door, not wanting to step in.

Oh yes, this girl is afraid of ghosts.

"That's a chart. It's on the wall. Tear it off and take it with you."

Charts are generally made of whale skin or shark skin, which is soft, strong and durable. However, it may be because it has been soaked in water for too long and the things on it are not clearly visible. I hope there will be a professional navigator on the pink Dumbo.

What clues can you see?

After listening to Pei Renli's words, everyone moved away from the skeleton, but Pei Renli was completely right. Instead, he approached the skeleton, stretched out his hand and snapped the rotten lock on the desk drawer.

A black-covered book can be seen in the drawer, which may be a logbook or something.

They wanted to read it, but at this moment, everyone clearly felt the floor beneath their feet shake, accompanied by a crisp crunching sound.

This ship is probably sinking.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The Sea of ​​Mist is indeed very strange. Normally, undead creatures cannot appear during the day, even if it is already sunset. The divine power from the sun will burn the undead creatures to ashes in an instant.

It may be that the concentration of negative energy in the Sea of ​​Fog is too high, and it accumulates to form something like a curtain. This is somewhat similar to the earth's ozone layer, which can block a large amount of ultraviolet rays and cosmic rays.

The Sea Ghoul's ship broke into two pieces shortly after Pei Renli and the others climbed back along the rope. It shouldn't be possible to resurface at this time.

As for what happened to the crew...

Then we can only rely on charts and logbooks to restore it.

The chart was handed over to the pilot on the ship, who said that he had never seen such a badly damaged chart and that it would take a lot of time to restore it.

As for the logbook, it was actually written in Elvish, so Pei Renli could only see what was written on it.

But like the nautical chart, the logbook was also badly damaged, so I could only guess at the words I could decipher.

The night is gradually getting darker. Due to the recent sea ghoul attack, the captain has strengthened the number of sailors standing guard at night. The foggy sea in the middle of the night is even more unpredictable, as if something may rush out of the thick fog at any time.

Pei Renli was still in the cabin. He recorded the results of the one-time Sun Flame Sword experiment in his notebook as a reference for future improvements, and then concentrated on reading the logbook.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Ah? What's the matter?"

Ravna whispered:

"The Metamorphosis Spider Caravan reported that someone in the territory of Lanzhi Pavle seems to be planning a revolution."

"Blue Pavler?"

Pei Renli immediately thought of the prince who was a noble dragon.

"What kind of revolution are they making? Could it be that after seeing the situation in the Republic of Tula, they want to recreate a classic?"

The country of Lanzhi Pavle has a strict class system, and Elysee is from this country. Because they believe that dragon veins are only suitable for nobles, they often exclude and suppress those with dragon veins among the common people.

In Elysee's own words, this country is already rotten, it just depends on when they will rot to the end.

But the situation in Pavle and the Republic of Tula is different.

Although the classes are strict, the social conflicts are definitely not as serious as those in the Republic of Tula. The rulers are not a group of blood-sucking insects. At most, the power struggle in the management is relatively serious. Other than that, there is nothing to make a revolution in this country.

of.

Although Pei Renli also wanted to say that if the proletarians of the world unite, all the people can lose are their shackles. But revolution requires soil.

If it were so easy to resist the royal power, humans on earth would not have been monarchs for thousands of years, even if monarchs still exist today.

People in this dimension have not even awakened their national consciousness, let alone talked about proletarian revolution.

So when Pei Renli heard the news, his first reaction was that someone was up to something.

"How far has it developed now?"

"The Metamorphosis Spider said it was just a rumor among some businessmen."

"It's just a matter of catching wind, right? Tell them to continue to pay close attention to this matter, and not to wander around when they have been doing business in Lanzhi Pavle in recent months."

Speaking of this, Pei Renli suddenly remembered:

"No, didn't you say yesterday that it was beyond the communication range?"

"Yes, but today, just when the sea ghoul appeared, the communication was connected again, but it should be disconnected again now."

Is it possible that the pink Dumbo has been circling the sea?

It's like they have been drawing a circle in the foggy sea, so they occasionally enter the communication range.

"Notify me immediately of any further news."

Perrenli threw down the logbook and stood up to find the captain. Ravna also responded and got back into the shadow.

As soon as he opened the door, there was a figure standing in front of the door, and Pei Renli almost bumped into him.

After taking a closer look, he found that it was Kaya who was about to knock on the door, but Pei Renli suddenly opened the door, causing Kaya to tremble all over.

"What's going on? Are you here to take care of me?"

“…..”

So, Pei Renli’s bad mouth...

"Anyway, if you're not in a hurry, we'll talk about it later. I have to talk to the captain first. We seem to have been wandering around in the foggy sea."

Seeing that Pei Renli was about to leave, Kaya immediately grabbed his sleeve.

"Wait, don't leave yet."

Through the skin, you can clearly feel that Kaya's hands are covered in cold sweat and her body is shaking slightly.

This made Pei Renli even more puzzled.

Kaya opened her mouth and managed to squeeze out a sentence:

"Yes, there is a ghost..."

"Ah? Has it already appeared?"

The captain mentioned that some supernatural phenomena will appear in the cabin when sailing in the Mist Sea, but don't pay too much attention to it, just sprinkle a circle of holy water around yourself.

Pei Renli didn't care even more. If he had the seed, the moment his health bar lit up, he would regret being born.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound behind Pei Renli. He turned around and saw that the quill he placed on the table seemed to be picked up by an invisible person, and he repeated "My doll is missing" over and over again with ink on the paper.

"Well, it has the flavor of a ghost movie, but it's not close yet. Another surprise attack would be the way to go."

He was even in the mood to comment...

Kaya felt scared and peed, her waist was a little weak, and she almost dragged Pei Renli's arm:
To be continued...
