There were no accidents at the auction. Shade gained some experience and Miss Princess also enjoyed it. After the auction, people immediately dispersed and rejoined the crowd on the deck. The wooden boxes in front of the deck were removed and the long chairs were quickly moved away. The entire auction lasted less than forty minutes, and some guests didn't even notice what was happening here.
The atmosphere on the ship is now very hot. Men and women or other groups who have fallen in love with each other have begun to walk into the cabin one after another.
"Miss... ... "
"Go away."
Naturally, there were also people who approached the elegant girl next to Shad, and were then scolded away by Shad in a very thick Tobesk accent.
"I didn't expect you to say something like that."
Miss Princess was in a good mood.
"Yeah?"
Xia De straightened his tie:
"I really despise this kind of chaotic place, this kind of banquet..."
He snorted, not commenting on the chaotic relationships between the nobles and the rich:
"I don't actually have a very bad temper, it's just that it's hard to find opportunities where I can lose my temper."
In the morning, the old landlord who was designed to "commit suicide" by Xia De because he had seen Xia De's face could testify.
At this time, the cruise ship continued to move towards the deep sea, and according to the plan, it would set off to return to Coldwater Port in half an hour. This type of auction is very safe, but unfortunately Tobesk City does not have such conditions. If you want to hold a safe auction, you can only go to a place far away from the city.
With nothing to do, Shad and Miss Princess returned to the dim railing to chat.
The lights of the civilization in Lengshui Port were completely invisible in the distance, and the lights on the cruise ships seemed to be absorbed by the sea. In the distance where the sky and the sea met, in a place they had not noticed for the time being, a pale green light accompanied by a storm had appeared.
"What's wrong?"
As she was talking to Shade and enjoying the little time they had left together, the blonde girl suddenly saw Shade holding his chest and looking at the dark sea in the distance. She immediately asked nervously.
Shade shook his head and clutched the pocket on his chest with his right hand. In his pocket was the pirate's blood money, but just now, the blood money actually vibrated.
This was a phenomenon of resonance of the special relic, the Pirate's Blood Money, which meant that another Blood Money had finally appeared in the vicinity. The original purpose of Xia Delai's Coldwater Port had finally been achieved.
However, now they were in the ocean far away from the shore, and the blood money was most likely on the bottom of the sea, so Shade couldn't jump into the sea to look for it immediately.
If Shade dared to activate the blood money and make the resonance more obvious, it would be possible to slightly reduce the difficulty of finding it. But now he was on the sea, and if he dared to activate it, the undead fleet might appear in a few seconds, and then he would have no choice but to use up the last drop of divinity.
Xia De wanted to explain the matter about the blood money, and then find the captain as soon as possible to find out the current location. However, he suddenly frowned again, because the vibration of the blood money was getting more and more intense, which meant that another blood money was getting closer.
"What do you mean, the other one is in the fish's belly? And the fish is going to ram the boat and commit suicide?"
Don't let your imagination run wild. Listen carefully. There's something wrong.
She raised her hand to signal Miss Princess not to speak, and Miss Princess actually reached out and pressed her chest. But her skirt had no pockets on the chest, and the young girl's frown seemed to indicate that she was in severe pain in her chest.
During the moment of quiet listening, the sound of deck music and waves reached my ears, but after a few seconds, a rough singing voice came from the dark sea. The sound became louder and louder until even ordinary people on the entire deck noticed this unusual sound.
The rough and strange voice sang songs in an ancient language. At the same time, dark clouds quickly came from the northwest of the ship in the originally clear night sky.
The biting cold wind blew across the deck, and the calm sea suddenly surged. The wave hit, causing Shad and Miss Princess to grab each other at the same time, and screams were heard on the deck behind them.
The ring magicians on the deck looked towards the northwest of the cruise ship at the same time. At the junction of darkness and the deep sea, in the sweeping storm, a dilapidated ship emitting black smoke and ghostly green light was approaching at an incredible speed.
The moment they saw the ship, most people felt as if their heads were hit by a heavy hammer. The heavy whispering elements were corroding people's hearts, and the influence of the relics was clearly revealed through the feedback of their sight across the sea.
"No, the blood money in my hand is clearly not activated... This has nothing to do with blood money. There is another blood money on that ship. It is another relic!"
The calm sea suddenly became turbulent, the cruise ship stopped, and the oppressive and terrifying low song became louder and louder. At some point, the starry sky above was completely covered by dark clouds, and on the shaking deck, dirty green moss spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"The sea return ceremony, the mermaid statue is the mermaid's song, and then the second sentence of the pirate..."
Miss Princess covered her chest, her eyes widened and she murmured:
"Mr. Edmund's guess is correct. This is really a ritual. How did we encounter it... He said in the afternoon that the ocean currents today are abnormal!"
The fifth-ring warlock barely managed to resist the mental shock, while Shade translated the general meaning from the songs chanted in the ancient language.
In the deepest depths of the sea, we ride the storm, hunting for our Lord, Scarlet Spiral, you are of the Murloc...
"I know what this is!"
Miss Princess's voice suddenly became louder, drowning out the singing, allowing Shade to clearly hear what she said:
"A Sage-level relic! The Fishbone Pirates! Damn it, this thing is actually connected to the Mermaid Song, which is also a Sage-level relic!"
"What? Are you sure? Another Sage-level? How is this place more dangerous than Tobesk?"
Xia De was stunned, then he pulled her and tried to jump off the boat:
"I'll swim you back!"
"There's no escape. The relic is not just the ship. The bound undead have appeared in the ocean after seeing the ship. Someone is conducting a large-scale ritual in Coldwater Harbor! The first step is to spread the curse of the Mermaid's Song, and the second step is the appearance of the pirate ship. It's a cultist!"
"It's the cultists of the Lord of the Scarlet Spiral! It's a merman, we need to tell the church about this!"
Shade added loudly as the fast-moving pirate ship came closer and closer. With his head buzzing, he could see thousands of evil spirits roaring on the dilapidated deck.
The ship didn't slow down and crashed into them directly, not even giving them any time to react:
"remember!"
The voice of Miss Princess, who was covering her chest the moment before, was still in my ears, but now it seemed to be very far away.
Whispering elements are influencing the space, be careful.
"Shad, don't leave the ship, don't agree to be a crew member, the exit is at the deepest point..."
She wanted to hug Shade, but the dark green pirate ship had already hit her. In the terrible shaking, the terrible black fog on the pirate ship completely engulfed the unprotected steam cruise ship. Everything around her disappeared, and thousands of curses and twisted prayer whispers rushed into her mind, making Shade's consciousness blurred.
