Chapter 072 Deep Sea

"I don't think so."

Gawain shook his head and said with deep meaning: "On the contrary, I think James is a very smart guy."

Lilith was stunned for a moment and said strangely:

"Why do you say that?"

"Do you remember what he did before he got on the ship?"

"Ask us to get on board?"

"Yes, it's more of a test than an inquiry. He can tell whether the people on the ship are good or bad in just one sentence. If he encounters a vicious person, he can turn around and run away. As for converting to the God of Death, maybe, more It’s because of the injuries.”

Gawain explained a few words in a low voice.

Thinking back to the time when he traveled back in time, he also deceived a priest and cured his serious injury. However, James followed the trend and had the same effect.

Lilith was stunned and muttered:

"I didn't expect James to be so cunning. Now Lilith doesn't sympathize with him at all."

While the two were talking quietly.

Another unknown knight was looking at Lilith. The more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt. He suddenly thought of something and hurriedly took out a piece of papyrus from his arms. He glanced at it quickly, then pulled out the cross sword from his waist and roared. road:

"'Defector' Lilith, you are under arrest!"

After saying that, he strode towards Lilith.

Gawain frowned, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. Heavy footsteps immediately sounded in the cabin. The knight turned his head and saw a giant skeleton more than four meters tall walking step by step.

Stand between the two sides.

The knight was startled by the size of the giant skeleton, stopped in a hurry, turned around and ran back:

"There are undead, there are undead on the ghost ship!"

Father Damion's face finally became serious. He stood up to stop the panicking knight, glanced at the skeleton giant and Gawain, waved his hand and used the magic [Dispel Fear] to form a dark light that fell on the knight, and asked:

"Knight Miller, what's going on?"

The panicked Knight Miller quickly calmed down, handed over the papyrus, and explained. Knight Chap took the opportunity to draw his cross sword, holding the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, guarding the front.

The atmosphere on the ship instantly became solemn.

Gawain whistled, and five red-eyed crows flew from all over the ghost ship and landed on the shoulders of the skeleton giant, staring at the opposite side with their red eyes.

It was like looking at three dead people.

Father Damian weighed it up and spoke first:

"Unknown wizard apprentice, Damian has no intention of becoming your enemy."

After saying that, he pointed to Lilith and said seriously: "But the dark elf lady next to you needs to go back to the church with me. Her portrait appears on the wanted poster of the Death Church, and she is an enemy of the church."

Lilith suddenly became nervous.

Without saying a word, Gawain directly cast a [Water Barrier] on himself, stretched out his hand, and drew a stream of clear water from the sea of ​​​​earth, and began to perform the [Five-Continuous Ice Arrow Technique].

"stop!"

"stop!"

"stop!"

Father Damian's eyelids jumped and he shouted hurriedly.

Gawain paid no attention to it. Seeing that the five ice arrows were about to condense and form, and the giant skeleton was about to pounce, he finally panicked and said helplessly:

"Okay, I take back what I said before!"

Gawain then stopped, waved his hand to scatter the ice arrows, and said coldly:

"Don't let me find out what you're doing."

"Won't."

Father Damian smiled bitterly and said frankly: "I am here to investigate the disappearance case on the ghost ship. I have no intention of becoming your enemy."

"Disappearance case?"

Gawain was thoughtful, but did not ask.

The church and wizards were natural enemies, and he really couldn't trust each other. He shook his head, recalled the skeleton giant and the crow, and continued to observe the sea.

It is found that there are more and more sea fish around the ghost ship.

Densely packed.

They jump up and down on the sea surface, as if performing a mysterious ritual.

At this time, the three-masted ghost ship moved without any wind and slowly sailed away from the coast. With the six people on the deck, it sailed towards the depths of the endless sea of ​​​​earth.

Gawain took out the [Ghost Conch] and played with it repeatedly.

Unfortunately, he found that although he could summon the ghost ship, he could not change its course and could only let the ghost ship sail on its own.

He frowned and became worried:

"Can I reach the other side?"

Lilith was not sure and said: "It should be possible. I heard that ghost ships have existed for tens or hundreds of years and have been sailing in the Earth Sea since very early times."

"What happens after the gray fog comes?"

"this......"

Lilith was stunned by the question and thought about it seriously: "Including the previous trip, this should be our third trip."

"Third trip!"

"Disappearance case!"

Gawain thought to himself, feeling a little more vigilant in his heart.

The next two days were uneventful.

Starting from the third day, the ghost ship entered the deep sea area, and there was thick gray fog everywhere. When taking a breath on the deck, you could occasionally see some huge sea beasts writhing in the sea.

Some are even larger than the hull of a ship.

Fortunately, they seemed to have really signed a contract with the ghost ship and never approached it on their own initiative.

Never attacked.

Gawain had a food tree and he had no worries about eating and drinking. Even five crows could barely fill their stomachs, but the other four were in trouble. James didn't bring any food at all and was already dizzy with hunger.

The three members of the church came in a hurry and did not bring much food. They had already eaten all the dry food. Father Damian began to drink potions and holy water.

The two knights were in trouble, and finally slaughtered a big-antlered deer, finally solving the urgent problem. Even James got some scraps, and his mouth was full of blood.

But after the three of them had eaten, they encountered another problem.

They had no fresh water.

Knight Chap looked at Father Damian who was concentrating with his eyes closed, not daring to disturb him. He turned around and kicked James down: "Reek, go find those two people and ask for some water."

"Can......"

Just as James was about to speak, he was frightened away by Knight Chap's ferocious eyes. He did not dare to shirk. After getting up, he hurriedly ran towards the cabin and returned quickly.

He said cautiously:

"They said...that a golden dragon could be exchanged for a peach like this."

"What!"

"Damn, they're robbing."

"Followers of the God of Death will never succumb to heresy, never!"

"Damn it, Mr. Chap is dying of thirst!"

Knight Chap vented his anger and threw a handful of golden dragons on the deck: "Damn it, Reek, what are you still doing? Why don't you pick up the golden dragon and exchange it for ten peaches for Master Chap."

"Yes!"

James did not dare to refute, picked up the golden dragon and walked quickly towards the cabin. Knight Chap roared from behind: "Damn Reek, you are walking too slow. Do you want Master Chap to die of thirst?"

James ran in a hurry, panting, and came to a cabin door. He took a few breaths before gently knocking on the door.

"Squeak~~"

The hatch opened, and Lilith, dressed in black, came out.

James presented the golden dragon with both hands and said respectfully:

"I want ten peaches in exchange."

Lilith glanced at the other party's hands covered with abscesses and ulcers, took it, and then opened the hatch: "Go in, Mr. Gawain wants to talk to you."

"ah?"

James was startled and said humbly:

"It's my pleasure."

He carefully stepped into the cabin door, saw Gawain sitting cross-legged on the floor, and quickly lowered his head:

"Good day, Lord Wizard."

Gawain nodded and ordered:

"Keep your head up."

James did not dare to disobey and quickly raised his head, revealing a face covered with abscesses and black spots.

Gawain looked at it twice and then said:

"Take off your cloak."

James bit his mouth tightly, hesitated, and then took off his cloak, revealing a miserable head. His hair was almost gone, and his scalp was covered with abscesses and ulcers, and even the pus from the ulcers had flowed to the neck.

The whole body exudes a rotten and disgusting smell.
