717 The Disappearing Ship

 This is a wooden boat, to be precise, it is an extremely dilapidated wooden boat. Even the white sails have rotted to the point where only gray strips of rags are left.

As for the ship type, Angel personally couldn't tell the difference. But he felt that this ship was extremely primitive and was indeed obviously different from modern ships.

Especially the bow statue. Modern ships often have statues that can deter sea beasts, but the bow of this wooden ship is a semicircular feather that looks like a peacock with its tail spread out. There is still a faint residual color in these feathers. If it is really like this.

Helen said it was a ship from three thousand years ago. If you think it was in perfect condition, it must have been an extremely bright portrait of the ship's bow.

The overall impression this ship gave Angel was that of a dilapidated and outdated old ship.

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

When Angel was confused, he heard the frightened discussion of the sailors below.

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

Seeing the discussion among the people below getting more and more heated, fear began to spread. Angel frowned and jumped directly to the deck.

Angel glanced at everyone with his eyes, and in an instant, everyone fell silent.

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

"I've never seen it before, but the shape of this ship is not a modern one. It looks very much like a ship from the Shining Gold Age three thousand years ago." Helen said immediately.

"To be precise, it's an exploration ship from the Shuojin era." At this time, Alvin walked out of the hatch and said respectfully to Angel.

According to Alwin's explanation, the model of this ship comes from the continent of Ferland. Three thousand years ago, the continent of Ferland was in a period of great waste and was called the Shining Golden Age. People were not satisfied with the resources of the continent and were not interested in the outside world.

I became interested, so I began to explore the sea, entering an era of navigation, and the model of this ship was the iconic exploration ship of that era of navigation.

After Alvin finished explaining, he looked at the approaching ship with doubtful eyes: "This is a typical three-gallon ship, but the exposed keel has cracks. Why hasn't it sunk yet? Is it possible?

Is it really...a ghost ship?"

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

Angel's words caused Helen and Alvin to dissuade them in unison: "Sir, there are countless strange things in the Devil's Sea. Even in seemingly ordinary places, great dangers lurk."

"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 detection puppet." Helen suddenly remembered something: "There is a detection puppet in the bottom cabin, but we can't control it. Only the wizard can use it."

Angel had actually used his spiritual tentacles to secretly explore the "ghost ship" and found nothing unusual, so he decided to board the ship to have a look. However, since Helen said there was a spying puppet on the ship, Angel

I didn't insist anymore.

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

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

For those apprentices who have not learned the Wizard's Eye trick, this is a relatively useful alchemy 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. Skipping the foggy sea, they landed directly on the ghost ship.

In Angel's field of vision, the ghost ship was similar to what he had just inspected with his mental tentacles. There were not many abnormalities, it was in tatters, and there was even a hole in the deck.

Following the hole, the exploration puppet flew into the inner cabin.

It was pitch dark inside, but if you looked at the lighting equipment on the puppet, you wouldn't be able to see anything clearly.

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

Helen and Alvin, who were standing next to him, felt a twitch in their hearts, wondering: Could there really be any danger on the ship?

While Helen swallowed dryly, she motioned with her eyes that all the sailors should take their positions. If anything unusual happened, she was ready to speed up Yang Fan at any time.

"It's strange, the inside of the cabin is wet."

Hearing Angel's low voice, Helen let out a long breath: "Sir, this ship has been in the fog all year round, so it should be normal for it to be damp, right?"

"No, it doesn't necessarily stay in the fog all year round." Angel frowned: "I can tell the difference between being wet and being soaked by water. Its cabin is soaked by water. Moreover, the inspection puppet is now

It’s not the bottom yet, it’s just on the first level below the deck.”

Seeing that Helen and Alvin didn't understand what he meant, Angel simply snapped his fingers, and a vision appeared in front of them.

While using the exploration puppet to enter the cabin, he displayed the situation inside in front of them through illusions.

Regarding this magical illusion, both Helen and Alvin had surprise in their eyes, but the surprise quickly disappeared because they were both attracted by the scene in the illusion.

"There are indeed traces of being soaked in water!" Helen said, and suddenly added: "Moreover, the wooden boards on the wall have no water marks. It seems that they were still in the water not long ago, but were pulled out of the water in an instant. Otherwise, it would definitely be

There are water marks.”

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

"It's true as Deputy 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 floated 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 you were in the sea before, it should be full of sediment, right? But

There is 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, and 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 are no other abnormalities. The only exception 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 detective puppet came to the bottom.

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

"Why didn't the sea water overflow into the hole?" Helen looked suspicious: "Such a big hole is enough to sink the ship, how could 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 and Alvin looked at each other, ran together, 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 come into contact with the sea.

It is suspended on the sea surface, so sea water cannot overflow.

But why it is suspended on the sea surface is another question. However, this alone gives everyone a creepy feeling.

"Sir, do you want to continue the investigation?"

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 starts 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 showing two different states?

In the illusion, the dust disappeared, revealing the clues of the captain's cabin. Rotten and old furniture and rags were placed on the floor. In addition, there were more gold ornaments here, and they were all intact.

"This is indeed the style of the Shining Gold Age, and judging from the decoration, it is very likely that it was the leader of a noble." Alwin pointed to 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 rotting 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.

When Angel was thinking about the key here, a sailor suddenly shouted in surprise 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 area of ​​disappearance 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 inspection 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.
