Port of Fokrulu.
The Red Lotus and the Slavery slowly sailed into the port, clearly feeling a very different atmosphere from usual.
The noisy pirates disappeared completely, and instead, the entire port was deserted.
Before docking, the two ships suffered a brutal baptism of gunfire.
It wasn't until their identities were completely confirmed that Fang Yuan and the others were allowed to leave, and they also learned the reason why the entire port was so threatened by the enemy.
"Ghost ship... The legendary ghost ship has appeared!"
"It is sailing on the Golden Sea and has killed seven ships, three of which were pirate ships!"
"The undead creatures up there are so overwhelming that they won't let any of their prey go!"
…
"Now, almost even pirates dare not leave the port easily... It is rumored that the son of the Golden Sea, Edward Pirate Governor, has sailed nearby to track the traces of the ghost ship with the Wanderer!"
All kinds of gossip were flying around, and Fang Yuan finally understood one thing.
Why did Edward appear so coincidentally and block Blackbeard? It turned out that he had been swimming nearby, monitoring the movements of the sea.
At this time, Fang Yuan arrived at the pier and saw that the pier was filled with densely packed ships.
Not only merchant ships, but also pirate ships.
After all, except for a few major pirate governors, even the most powerful remaining pirates did not dare to pat their chests and say that they could escape before the ghost ship.
For pirates, the ghost ship will leave on its own after a while, and of course they will not risk their lives to do something without any profit.
"But... in this case, the pirate prince's power will be weakened invisibly!"
Fang Yuan frowned as he thought about it.
Judging from the information previously disclosed by Edward, in another month, perhaps Insman's Royal Navy will invade the Nightmare Sea in a large scale and fight Blackbeard decisively.
Even if the two governors form an alliance, if a fire breaks out in the pirate prince's backyard and he is too busy to take care of himself, how many people will be able to support Blackbeard
"It's really... neither early nor late, but at this time, is it a coincidence? Too many coincidences piled together make it seem deliberate... So the truth is that the ghost ship has actually been controlled by Insman? Or maybe they have it? Have you found some methods to guide it?"
After walking through the pier, we came to the crowded street market.
Due to the mooring of various types of boats, the flow of people seemed very crowded.
Some vendors even began to sell goods directly on the spot, forming a small market that was very lively.
Silk, porcelain, spices from the East, voodoo from the native tribes, blow darts, and Insman's rum... all kinds of products are so dazzling that it feels like you have arrived at Insman's shopping mall.
"You all go down and buy daily necessities for the ship!"
Fang Yuan waved his hand and brought Bill and Luo Lisa with him. The three of them blended in with the crowd in a low-key manner.
"Bill... I'll leave it to you to find the shipbuilder. There are also some extraordinary materials suitable for the ship. We need to start preparing in advance..."
Fang Yuan was finally ready to start building his own extraordinary ship.
After all, with the rise of Insman's hegemony, the entire maritime force has to be reshuffled, and ordinary battleships, even first-class battleships, are somewhat outdated in front of the steam-iron armored ships.
"Yes, boss, but these things are very expensive..."
"Don't worry, I'll give you 50,000 gold galleons first. If you like the rest, if you feel like you can't get it, come back to me..."
Looking at Bill's back, Fang Yuan thought thoughtfully: "Collecting these materials and building extraordinary ships yourself is only the last resort... The fastest way is to directly obtain those legendary extraordinary ships."
"The ghost ship that recently appeared on the Golden Sea seems to be able to make plans. In addition... there is this..."
A map appeared in Fang Yuan's hand, with the last piece missing.
"Boss!"
At this time, Luo Lisa leaned over and breathed into Fang Yuan's ear: "The secrets about this treasure map were all revealed to the fat black man before he died... Not only did he possess two copies, And I know the location of the last one!”
"Oh? Where?"
When Fang Yuan heard this, he suddenly became excited.
"Blackbeard's hands..."
Rosa giggled.
"Are you sure you are not deliberately trying to stir up a relationship between me and a pirate governor?"
Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked this woman up and down.
"In the name of the moon, no!" Being stared at by Fang Yuan, Luo Lisa's whole body suddenly felt cold, as if she had encountered a giant dragon in her childhood.
"Besides... Based on your current relationship with Blackbeard, boss, is it still considered friendly?"
Luo Lisha added another sentence.
"Well... your information came at the right time!"
Fang Yuan took a few steps forward, his eyes lit up, he saw a gypsy tent, and got into it.
The tent was very narrow, but the shelves on both sides were filled with all kinds of strange things.
Fang Yuan even saw a huge glass bottle containing strange big eye beads.
"Hello, distinguished guest from afar, is there anything I can help you with?"
On the blanket in the center of the tent, a woman sat cross-legged. Her hair was tied into braids. She smiled at Fang Yuan, revealing a mouth full of blackened teeth.
There is no doubt that this is a witch!
She has mastered the mysterious power that only women can master, and even has the ability to predict the future.
Of course, the reason why Fang Yuan came here was that he could see that this witch was different from those liars and had some real skills.
"Actually... the dream master's way encompasses many things, including the method of dream divination, but I'm not good at it... Besides, if the world is changed, many parameters will have to change, and the divination method may not have the same effectiveness as before. .The method of this world is the most suitable..."
What fortune tellers pay attention to is the harmony between nature and man.
In this regard, even though the worlds are different, the basic rules are very similar.
For example, local witches always like to say, "Revere fate!"
"I want to divine two things!"
Fang Yuan sat down cross-legged in front of the witch: "If your divination is accurate, Jin Gallon will not miss you!"
He said casually, and Luo Lisha immediately threw out a bag filled with gold galleons and threw it on the desk.
“I love generous guests!”
The tether of the money bag fell apart, and a few gold coins fell out. The shining gold was enough to arouse the greed of most people.
But the witch just glanced at it, and she was more interested in Fang Yuan: "What two things?"
"The first thing is that I got a piece of information and want to know whether it is true or false!"
Fang Yuan glanced at Luo Lisa.
"Then we should use destiny cards for divination!"
The witch made a sound on her lips and took out a stack of cards: "Remember in your mind what you want to judge, then randomly pick out one of these cards and give it to me!"
"sun?"
Fang Yuan took one at random, turned it over and looked at it, only to see that there was a pattern of the sun on it.
"It means a clear 'yes', the authenticity of the information you have obtained cannot be questioned!"
The witch didn't even frown: "What else?"
"Also, I want to get a spot on a ship!"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Jie Jie..." The witch showed a crazy smile and looked at Fang Yuan with gleaming eyes: "So... this young and handsome man, you want to know the traces of that ship? It's one of those Eastern merchant ships filled with gold. , or your enemy ship?"
"No! None!"
Fang Yuan shook his head: "What I want to know is the ghost ship!"
"That ominous thing that leads to the underworld?!"
The witch was agitated: "Before you, three groups of people have asked the same question, and I asked them to leave... because you must respect fate and cannot pry into the realm of the dead at will!"
"Really? What if I force you?"
Fang Yuan's pupils flashed with red light, and in his palm, a religious emblem that looked like a knife but not a sword, or a sword but not a sword, appeared at some point.
"ah!"
Seeing this scene, the witch immediately put her face in her hands and let out a scream, as if she had seen something extremely frightening.
Plop! Plop!
Just as she screamed, two burly men jumped out from behind the tent, and were knocked down neatly by Luo Lisa.
"My own dream divination method is only superficial, and because of the mismatch of the world, it cannot be used at all... But this witch is a local diviner... "
Fang Yuan thought silently and hung the emblem around the witch's neck.
This type of inspired people are the easiest to receive the murmurs and murmurs from various existences. Of course, they are also the group of people closest to the edge of madness.
At this time, the witch's eyes suddenly became blank, as if she had been greatly shocked.
"I want you to divine for me again!"
Fang Yuan said.
"OK!"
The witch was silent for a moment, her expression and movements were dull, and she took out a crystal ball on a cashmere pad.
"The fog of fate, please disperse before my eyes... Round crystal, please guide me... In the sea, there are traces of ghosts moving forward!"
The witch grabbed the crystal ball and muttered prayers, getting faster and faster.
Within the crystal ball, a cloud of mist emerged, and the figure of a sailboat vaguely appeared above it.
The sailboat was completely black, as if most of it had rotted away, but on it, many undead creatures gathered, carrying terrifying spiritual pressure.
Even, this pressure came directly through the crystal ball and into the tent.
Luo Lisa knelt down instantly.
Fang Yuan was the only one who could remain calm in the face of such pure power of death.
"Who is it? Dare to covet ships sailing between the underworld and the human world?"
"Who is it? Disturbing the corpse's rest?"
"Who is it again? Being watched by the undead?"
…
Strange and mysterious voices came from the crystal ball.
It was as if there really was a ghost or something, trying to crawl out of the crystal ball.
The power of the ghost ship is beyond imagination, and it directly curses everyone who divines it!
