Chapter 1986 The Counterattack of the Giant Sisters
Chapter 96 The Ghost Ship Reappears
During the voyage, Joan learned the "golden armament" and spent 5 ounces of magic crystals to integrate this 5-ring spell into his belt buckle, which is suitable for strengthening the "transformation tactics".
Another two weeks passed in a blink of an eye. On the afternoon of December 13, the expedition ship "Coral" followed the "Narwhal" and was close to the waters of the Siwa Islands on the south side of the Tropic of Cancer. , with less than three days' voyage.
When the sun was about to set, Joan suddenly received a telepathy from Fania from the "Narwhal", saying that there was commotion on the ship, and it seemed that the "ghost ship" had been discovered. Unfortunately, she was captured by Am Flo Diguan was in the bilge, unable to find out more detailed information.
Qiao An was immediately refreshed, and quickly took out the "remote viewing mirror", locked the investigation angle on the "Narwhal", and called Hailaer and Zion to come and watch.
Half a month ago, the scene that everyone saw with their own eyes in the waters near Sierra Island was reproduced on the sea thousands of miles away: a large cloud of thick fog appeared out of nowhere on the sea shrouded in twilight. A brig can be seen.
What happened next was not as expected. Just as Francis Messinger ordered the crew to change course and drive the "Narwhal" into the fog-shrouded sea to pursue the ghost ship, the shadow of the sail in the dense fog appeared. It disappeared strangely, as if it never existed at all.
The difference is that this time, the old partners Messinger and Frodi had already prepared for it. The moment the ghost ship disappeared, the halfling warlock began to cast spells.
Through the mirror, it was not difficult for Joan to recognize that Am Frodi had blessed him with "Mist Sight" and "See Through Invisibility" one after another.
"Fog Sight" can make Frodi's eyes see through the fog, which is helpful for searching for the "Herringhorn" lost in the depths of the fog, but what is the purpose of Frodi's blessing of "seeing through invisibility"?
As soon as this question came to Joan's mind, he thought of a possibility!
Since the "Herlinghorn", which reappeared at sea after 18 years, is called a "ghost ship", and in fact it does move surreptitiously like a ghost, appearing and disappearing from time to time, is it possible that this ship is really a ghost ship? What turned into an incorporeal undead creature like a "ghost", which can sail on the sea like a real sailboat, or escape into the spirit world to hide its whereabouts?
If you only regard the "Herlinghorn" simply as a sailing ship, this idea is too big and unrealistic.
A sailboat is not even considered a living thing. Without a soul, how can it become an undead?
In the natural state, this possibility is indeed very small, so Joan didn't think about it at all at first.
But looking at it from another angle, if the ghost ship is not formed naturally, but an artificially created construct that makes it look like a ship-shaped ghost, is this craft possible?
The answer is of course yes!
Although Qiao An is still unable to handle such a big project, he is very clear about the spells that need to be used to create such a construct, such as "Advanced Item Revitalization", "Advanced Magical Axe", "Transformed Spirit Body" or "Spiritual Avatar" Boundary" and so on.
If his spellcasting level is higher and he has mastered related spells, he can even create such a "ghost ship" with his own hands!
All in all, no matter whether the ghost ship that appeared twice on the sea is a naturally formed undead or a man-made construct, when it disappears out of thin air, people's first reaction is always to doubt the authenticity of the ship, or to blame it Mirage, or it can be attributed to being hypnotized by some supernatural force, and hallucinations appear in the mind.
It wasn't until Joan found out that Am Flodi performed "seeing through invisibility" that he was inspired, and suddenly remembered that there was another possibility-the ghost ship is real, and when it disappeared from people's eyes, it actually entered the world. Beyond the "spirit world", for people in the material world, this ship is equivalent to being invisible.
In order to verify his conjecture, Qiao An also activated the "Fog Sight" and "See Through Invisibility" attached to the prosthetic eye. Sure enough, he saw a translucent boat shadow in the thick fog. Horn"!
Joan projected what she saw onto the mirror, which attracted the exclamations of Hailar and Zion.
"The 'Herringhorn' has appeared again!"
"This ship has never disappeared. It just stays in the material world for a short period of time, then it will escape into the spiritual world and continue sailing in the etheric plane."
After a brief explanation, Joan added another sentence.
"Messinger and Flodie have also seen through the true state of the 'Hellinghorn', and it may be very difficult for this ship to escape their pursuit."
Both Hailar and Zion had worried expressions on their faces, and their eyes were fixed on the fully powered iron-clad warship in the mirror, which was chasing the ghost ship.
When the "Herlinghorn" is in the spirit world, unless Frodi can cast spells such as "transfer from another world", "transform spirit body" or "traveling with the spirit world" to directly break into the hull, otherwise No matter how powerful the "Narwhal" ship is, there is nothing wrong with this ghost ship.
However, if the "Herlinghorn" drifts to the material world after a while, and the "Narwhal" is close enough to chase, it can launch a bombardment with naval guns, or even accelerate directly to rush over, and the bow Hit it and sink it!
Including Joan, everyone has a common thought, hoping that the "Herlinghorn" will speed up and get rid of the "Narwhal" that is chasing after it.
The spirit world where the "Herlinghorn" is located is not hindered by wind and waves. It stands to reason that the sailing speed should be faster than on the sea surface. With the advantage of speed, the relative distance from the "Narwhal" is gradually shortening.
This is not a good sign!
The "Coral" expedition ship that Joan and the others were on was about 50 nautical miles away from the "Narwhal". Sailing at full speed, even if you see the ghost ship in crisis, you have no time to rescue it.
Under the tense gaze of everyone, Am Flodie and Francis Messinger walked up to the balcony on the second floor of the bridge side by side, looked at the direction where the ghost ship was escaping, and talked in a low voice, and then the halfling warlock nodded. , took out a pocket.
Frodi whistled towards the pocket, and a magical aura emerged from the automatically opened mouth of the pocket. A crow flew out of the pocket and landed on Frody's shoulder. He tilted his head and looked around with fiery red eyes.
"What kind of spell is this?" Audrey looked curiously at the red-eyed crow in the mirror.
"Summon a magic pet." Although Joan doesn't raise a magic pet, he has learned this spell before. "That pocket is a special container for storing magic pets."
