After a short rest.
Kahn pushed open the door of the cabin, and the wooden door immediately made a long and harsh sound.
“Crunch!”
It was dark inside.
Can't see specific things clearly.
Squeak!
The sound of flames burning was heard.
"Follow me closely."
Kahn lit a kerosene lamp he had brought with him and walked into the dark cabin first.
Coles followed closely. He had now dispersed all his perception of the undead power to prevent those special undead knights from appearing again.
After entering the cabin.
What you see is a huge corridor with standard rooms on both sides.
There were only some rotten furniture in the room, and it had been empty for a long time. The corners were covered with cobwebs, and it was obvious that it had been a long time since we had stayed there.
As for valuable items.
Without careful searching, it is difficult to find out where the former owner hid it.
Kahn and Coles did not search for anything in these rooms. They were there to solve the ghost ship problem, not to look for treasure.
The two continued to move forward.
Because the sea breeze can come in and out freely through the broken windows, there are always various slight humming sounds in the cabin.
Combined with the dark environment, the ship was filled with some unknown and terrifying atmosphere.
After passing the corridor, they walked to the restaurant.
And here.
They also met the enemy again.
Four Death Knights wearing tattered black armor were standing quietly at the door of the restaurant like guard soldiers.
After Kahn and Coles appeared, the four Death Knights launched an attack directly.
"I'll take care of it."
Kahn had no intention of delaying. After handing the kerosene lamp to Coles, he quickly rushed towards the four Death Knights.
Coles stared without blinking.
Although Major Kahn had shown some sword skills before, he didn't know what Major Kahn's true strength was.
The four Death Knights held their swords tightly in their hands and launched precise and deadly attacks at the same time.
Kahn's charging figure approached.
The metallic sound of the long sword being unsheathed was particularly obvious in the silent cabin.
Then, Coles saw Major Kahn's figure suddenly accelerate, passing by the four Death Knights like lightning.
And in the darkness.
A flaming knife light suddenly appeared!
Under this powerful flaming blow, the armor of the four Death Knights was directly shattered.
After easily ending the battle, Kahn slowly put the famous sword Yu Jin into the black scabbard.
"You can come and summon me now."
Coles looked surprised.
It was a one-shot kill!
You know, each Death Knight is quite powerful. Even if he summoned shadow soldiers, he could only fight these Death Knights in a stalemate with his fruit ability...
But Major Kahn killed these four Death Knights with just one strike
This should be far beyond the naval level of major, right
Coles came to a place not far from the wreckage of the knight, directly dismissed four ordinary shadow soldiers, and then summoned the stronger shadow knight in front of him.
After completing the summons, Kahn took Coles and continued to explore.
Coles followed and asked, "Major, how did you perform that fire slash? Can you teach me?"
He thought the flame slash was very cool, so he really wanted to learn it.
In response to Coles' inquiry.
Kahn patiently explained:
"The main factor behind the flaming slash I just performed was this famous sword Yu Jin. This sword was made of a rare and special material..."
"Of course, there are ways for swordsmen to slash out flames, but your current swordsmanship is still at the basic swordsmanship level. If you want to learn how to slash with flames, you must first reach the level of cutting iron."
Hearing this, Coles was a little disappointed.
In this world, except for some abilities, fire cannot be used out of thin air.
As for cutting iron!
This is a huge dividing line for swordsmen. Those who have reached this level can already use their swordsmanship to cut through solid steel.
Coles is still very far from being able to cut through iron, and he cannot learn the fire slash for the time being.
However, he suddenly noticed the key point in Kahn's words: "Major, does this mean that you have already entered the realm of cutting iron?"
Kahn had no intention of hiding it: "Well, I entered Zantetsu a few years ago."
…
Soon, Kahn and Coles arrived at the end of the deck.
During this time, they passed through the meeting area and activity area of the ship and encountered six new Death Knights, but they were all easily dealt with by Kahn, and Coles also successfully summoned six new Shadow Knights.
There was no useful information left on this deck, let alone unlocking the secret of the ghost ship. Now they have two choices.
First, explore upwards.
Second, explore downwards.
"Generally speaking, the lower deck of the ship is used to store food and place idle items. Let's go upstairs." Kahn talked about his experience as a naval lieutenant commander.
However, Coles expressed a different opinion: "Major, I feel that there is a very powerful undead force up there. Let's explore the lower deck first."
He was not lying, because after entering the cabin, he could clearly sense the powerful undead force above his head.
Compared with it, the Death Knight is not on the same level at all. It is obvious that the upper deck is extremely dangerous.
After listening to Coles' words.
Kahn nodded after thinking about it.
"Okay, let's go to the lower deck first and see if we can find the cause of the ghost ship from below."
Holding a kerosene lamp, Kahn led Coles down the stairs leading to the lower deck step by step.
After arriving at the lower deck, an extremely long passage appeared in front of the two.
The passage is quiet and deep.
It seems to be hiding a huge secret.
Kahn held a kerosene lamp and walked forward step by step, the faint light illuminating the road ahead.
"Major, there are paintings on the wall!"
With his extraordinary eyesight, Coles discovered the differences in the surrounding passages.
Hearing this, Kahn also came to the wall of the passage with a kerosene lamp. Under the light of the flame, he could indeed see the murals carved on the wall.
It was hand-carved on the wooden wall. Even though it has been a long time, the picture on it can still be seen clearly.
Squeak!
Kahn used a tinder to light some oil lamps on the wall.
In the originally dark passage.
It becomes bright instantly!
As the light illuminated the entire corridor, they could also see all the murals carved on both sides.
However, Coles was not very good at interpreting this type of murals, he could only understand some of the patterns.
For example, the first engraving shows a starry sky and moon, the fourth engraving shows a man in armor holding a sword, and the ninth engraving shows an altar...
Fortunately, Major Kahn had some knowledge of this kind, and after observing carefully for a while, he understood the general meaning of these murals.
Coles asked curiously: "Major, what are these murals about?"
Kahn digested the information he had just learned, and finally chose his words carefully: "The history of the ship, or the history of a country."
Coles was a little confused.
Why should the history of a country be engraved on a ghost ship
Kahn combined the information he had read from the murals with some of the information he knew:
"More than a hundred years ago, there was an island in the Grand Line called Moon Island. That island was famous for its rare silver mines, and the country on the island, Silver Moon, became rich because of it.
But this also led to the country being targeted by a group of pirates...
Due to its weak defense, this small country with only tens of thousands of people was destroyed by pirates in that confrontation and completely disappeared into history.
Among them, the most well-known is the story about a famous sword. "
Coles was surprised and asked, "Famous sword?"
Kahn looked at the ninth mural and sighed.
"To be more precise, it's a demon sword!"
