This is a wooden boat, to be precise, a very broken wooden boat. Even the white sails had rotted to the point where only gray rotten strips of cloth remained.
For the ship type, Angel personally can't tell the difference. But I feel that this ship is extremely simple, and it is indeed different from modern ships.
Especially the statue of the ship's head, modern ships often depict statues that can deter sea beasts, but the bow of this wooden ship is a semi-circular feather that looks like a peacock after opening its screen. These feathers still have remnants of color. If it is true as Helen said, it is a ship three thousand years ago.
The overall impression this ship gave to Angel was that of a broken and outdated old ship.
"It stands to reason that such a broken ship should sink to the bottom of the sea. Why is it drifting on the sea?"
When Angel was puzzled, he heard the terrified discussion of the sailors below.
"Ghost ship?" Angel captured the focus of their discussion, and then looked at the ship carefully. It really sounded like a ghost ship.
Seeing that the discussion below became more and more heated, and 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 went directly to Helen's side: "Do you know this ship?"
"I haven't seen it before, but the shape of this ship is not a modern one. It looks very much like a ship in the Golden Age 3,000 years ago." Helen said immediately.
"Accurately speaking, it's an expedition ship from the Golden Age." At this time, Arwen walked out of the hatch and said respectfully to Angel.
According to Arwin's explanation, the ship's shape came from the mainland of Phelan. Three thousand years ago, the Phelan Continent was a period of waste waiting to be rebuilt, known as the Golden Age. People were not satisfied with the resources of the mainland and became interested in the outside world, so they began to explore the sea and entered an era of sailing.
After Arwin explained, he also looked at the ship that was getting closer and closer with doubts: "This is a typical three sailboat, but the exposed keel is already cracked, why hasn't it sunk, shouldn't it be? Really... a ghost ship?"
"You'll know if you look at it in the past."
With Angel's words, Helen and Arwin dissuaded them in unison: "Sir, there are countless strange things happening in the Devil's Sea, even if it's just a seemingly ordinary place, there is a great danger lurking."
"Don't worry, I didn't feel any energy fluctuations inside, and I didn't have any premonition of danger."
"If your lord really wants to go, you can use the probe puppet." Helen suddenly remembered something: "There is a probe puppet in the bottom cabin, but we can't control it, only the wizard can use it."
In fact, Angel had already used his mental power tentacles to sneak on the "ghost ship", and found nothing unusual, so he decided to get on the ship to take a look. However, since Helen said that there was an exploration puppet on the boat, Angel didn't insist any longer.
The scout puppet is a low-level alchemy tool, and Angel can also make it himself.
Its appearance is a small 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 magician'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. Skip the foggy sea and land directly on the ghost ship.
In Angel's vision, the ghost ship was similar to what he had just explored with his mental tentacles. There were not too many abnormalities. It was tattered, and even a hole was broken on the deck.
Along the hole, the scout puppet flew into the inner cabin.
It was pitch-dark inside, but the lighting equipment on the puppet could not be seen clearly.
But just after the light rose, Angel's brows suddenly wrinkled.
Helen and Arwen, who were standing beside him, groaned in their hearts, thinking to themselves: Is there really any danger on the ship
While swallowing dryly, Helen gestured with her eyes to all the sailors to take their places. If something went wrong, she was ready for Yang Fan to speed up at any time.
"Strange, the interior of the cabin is wet."
Hearing Angel's low voice, Helen took a long sigh: "Sir, this ship stays in the fog all the year round, it should be normal for it to be wet?"
"No, it doesn't have to stay in the fog all the year round." Angel's eyebrows clenched tightly: "I can tell the difference between wet and water-soaked, its cabin is soaked in water, and the exploration puppet is now It's not over yet, just the first level below deck."
Seeing that Helen and Arwen didn't understand what he meant, Angel simply snapped his fingers, and an illusion appeared in front of them.
As he entered the cabin with the scout puppet, he showed them what was going on inside through an illusion.
For this magical vision, Helen and Arwen both had surprise in their eyes, but the surprise disappeared quickly because they were both attracted by the scene in the vision.
"It is indeed the traces of being soaked in water!" Helen said, and suddenly said: "Also, there are no water marks on the wooden boards on the wall, it seems that they were in the water not long ago, but they were pulled out of the water in an instant, otherwise it must be There are water marks."
After listening to Helen's words, Angel also noticed this.
"It's exactly as Deputy Captain Helen said, but it doesn't make sense logically. Could it be that this ship sank in the sea before, but now it suddenly surfaced?"
After Angel finished speaking, he suddenly paused: "In this strange devil sea, any possibility may appear. Maybe it is really possible, but if it was in the sea before, it should be full of sediments, right? But There isn't any sediment here."
Unable to understand this strange situation, Angel simply continued to move forward. Anyway, when he came out, he could let the probe puppet bring some residual water, and then he would find out if it was seawater.
Angel continued to control the exploration puppet to go down. Most of the cabins were the same. Also, they were all soaked in water.
But other than that, there's nothing unusual about it. The only abnormality is probably that it is too clean. Obviously, some living utensils can be seen in every cabin, but there are no traces of people, not even the bones of the dead.
Until the probe puppet came to the bottom.
He saw a huge hole here, with dark sea water below.
"Why didn't the sea water overflow into the hole?" Helen asked suspiciously: "The hole is so big that it is enough to sink this ship. How could it still be floating on the sea?"
"Take a closer look." Angel suddenly said.
The picture in the illusion is aimed at the hole.
Helen was puzzled at first, but suddenly she seemed to remember something, looked at Arwin, ran together, came to the rail of the boat, and looked down.
"This ship doesn't touch the sea at all, it's suspended above the sea!" The ship is so close to the sea that it's hard to find anything even if you look closely, but there are no ripples on the sea, which confirms that The boat was not in contact with the sea.
Suspended on the sea surface, so seawater cannot overflow.
But why it is suspended in the sea is another question. However, this alone made everyone feel horrified.
"Sir, do you want to continue to investigate?"
Angel was a little fortunate that he didn't get on the boat at this time. He obviously didn't feel any energy fluctuations in this boat, but it was directly suspended on the sea, which was really too weird.
However, if he gave up halfway through the investigation, Angel was unwilling.
"Let's go to the captain's room." Although Angel said so decisively that he would continue to explore, he had taken off his right glove to make up for the somewhat declining nightmare aura on the Yunluo. Obviously, his heart was not like that. So calm.
The scout puppet began to go up, and the captain's room was usually on the top floor, and the same was true for this ship.
As soon as the captain's room was opened, a puff of dust flew out from it.
"There is dust, which means there is very little moisture inside." Helen wondered, why are there two different states in the captain's room and outside
In the illusion, the dust disappeared, revealing the clues of the captain's room. Ruined and outdated furniture and rags lay all over the place. Other than that, there are more gold ornaments here, and they are all intact.
"This is indeed the style of the Shining Golden Age, and from the perspective of decoration, it is very likely that it is the leader of the nobles." Arwin pointed to the carvings on several accessories.
At this time, the scout puppet 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 exquisite before. However, why does this skeleton have no head?"
This is a headless corpse.
Why does the whole ship have a skeleton, and this skeleton is missing a head
The ship is full of anomalies and inconsistencies, but oddly enough, there has been no danger so far.
When Angel was thinking about the key here, there was a sudden exclamation from the sailor on the deck. Helen looked at it suspiciously, and her pupils shrank suddenly: "Sir, the bottom of this ship has disappeared!"
Angel looked up suddenly and saw that the bottom of the ship was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The whole ship seemed to be embedded in another dimension, but in just two seconds, the disappearing range had reached the deck.
Seeing that the disappearance range was about to reach the deck, Angel frowned, and manipulated the scout puppet to pick up a parchment scroll on the desk in front of him, and then quickly ran out of the window.
When the scout puppets returned to the Yunluo, the ship in front of them had completely disappeared, leaving only a white fog around.
As if all previous experiences were like a phantom bubble.
But the scroll held by the puppet could be detected, but it clearly told others that the ship definitely existed before.
"Sir, what is going on here?"
"I don't know, maybe it's some kind of vision, or maybe there is a different dimension here." Angel shook his head and looked at the leather scroll in his hand.
