Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 716 The Disappearing Ship
This is a wooden boat, to be precise, an extremely dilapidated wooden boat.Even the white sails were rotten to the point where only gray rotten strips remained.

As for the ship type, Angor personally couldn't tell the difference.But I feel that this ship is extremely simple, and it is indeed significantly different from modern ships.

Especially the figure of the ship's head. Modern ships often depict statues that can deter sea beasts, but the bow of this wooden ship is a semicircular feather like a peacock's tail.These feathers and feathers still faintly have remnants of color. If it is really what Helen said, it is a ship from 3000 years ago.

The overall impression given to Angel by this ship was that of a dilapidated and old ship.

"It stands to reason that such a broken ship should sink into the bottom of the sea. Why is it floating on the sea?"

When Angor was puzzled, he heard the frightened discussions of the sailors below.

"Ghost ship?" Angor caught the point of their discussion, and then looked at the ship carefully. It really sounded like a ghost ship.

Seeing that the discussion among the people below became more and more heated, and fear began to spread, Angel frowned and jumped directly onto the deck.

Angel glanced at the crowd, and in an instant, everyone fell silent.

Angel came directly to Helen: "Do you know this ship?"

"I haven't seen it before, but the shape of this ship is not modern, it looks very similar to the shape of a ship from the golden age 3000 years ago." Helen said immediately.

"To be precise, it's an expedition ship from the golden era." At this time, Arwen walked out from the hatch and said respectfully to Angel.

According to Alwin's explanation, the ship's shape comes from the continent of Ferran. 3000 years ago, Ferran Continent was in a time of ruins, known as the Shining 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 a nautical age, and the ship type was the symbolic expedition ship of that nautical age.

After Arwen finished explaining, he also looked at the approaching ship with puzzled eyes: "This is a typical three-sail ship, but the exposed keel has cracks, why hasn't it sunk yet? Is it really... a ghost ship?"

"You'll know if you look at it in the past."

Angel's words made Helen and Arwen dissuade them in unison: "My lord, there are countless strange things in the Devil's Sea, even if it's just a place that looks ordinary, there are great dangers lurking."

"Don't worry, I didn't feel any energy fluctuations inside, nor did I have a premonition of danger."

"My lord, if you really want to go, you can use the detection puppet." Helen suddenly remembered something: "There is a detection puppet in the bottom cabin, but we can't control it, only the wizard can use it."

In fact, Angel had already used the tentacles of mental power to sneak a look on the "ghost ship", and found nothing unusual, so he decided to board the ship and take a look.However, since Helen said that there were scout puppets on board, Angel did not insist.

The detection puppet is a very low-level alchemy tool, and Angor can also make it himself.

Its appearance is a small ball, like an eyeball, which can be 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 wizard's eye trick, this is a more 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 Angor's field of vision, the ghost ship was similar to what he had just detected with his mental tentacles. There were not many abnormalities, it was tattered, and even a hole was broken in the deck.

Along the hole, the scout puppet flew into the inner cabin.

It's pitch black inside, but it's not impossible to see everything clearly when looking at the lighting equipment on the puppet.

But just after the bright light rose, Angel's brows suddenly frowned.

Helen and Arwen, who were standing beside him, thumped in their hearts, thinking to themselves: Could there really be any danger on board?

While swallowing dryly, Helen signaled all the sailors to take their positions with her eyes. If anything goes wrong, she was ready to speed up at any time.

"Strange, the interior of the cabin is wet."

Hearing Angel's murmur, Helen let out a long breath: "My lord, this ship has been in the fog all year round, so it should be normal for it to be damp?"

"No, it doesn't necessarily stay in the fog all year round." Angel frowned: "I can tell the difference between being wet and being soaked in water, its cabin is soaked in water, and the scout puppet is now It's not the end yet, it's just the first floor 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.

While using the detection puppet to enter the cabin, he showed them the situation inside through the phantom.

Both Helen and Arwen were surprised by this miraculous vision, but the surprise quickly disappeared because they were both attracted by the scene in the vision.

"It is indeed a mark of being soaked in water!" Helen said, and suddenly said: "Moreover, there is no water mark on the wooden boards on the wall. It seems that they were still in the water not long ago, but they were pulled out of the water in an instant. There are water marks."

After listening to Helen's words, Angel also noticed this.

"It's true what Deputy Captain Helen said, but it doesn't make sense logically. Could it be that this ship sank in the sea before, and now it suddenly surfaced?"

After Angel finished speaking, there was a sudden pause: "In this weird sea of ​​devils, any possibility is possible. Maybe it is really possible, but if you were in the sea before, it should be covered with sediment, right? But There isn't any sediment here."

Unable to understand this weird situation, Angel simply continued to move forward. Anyway, when he came out, he could let the scout puppet bring some residual moisture. Then he would find out if it was sea water or not.

Angel continued to control the detection puppet to go down. Most of the cabins were the same.Moreover, they were all soaked in water.

But other than that, there are no other abnormalities.The only abnormality is probably that it is too clean. Obviously, some living utensils can be seen in every cabin, but there is no sign of people, not even the bones of the dead.

Until the scout puppet came to the bottom.

He saw a huge hole here, and the dark sea below.

"Why didn't the sea water overflow into the hole?" Helen looked puzzled, "Such a big hole is enough to sink this ship, how could it still be floating on the sea?"

"Look carefully." Angel said suddenly.

The picture in the illusion was aimed at the hole.

Helen was still puzzled at first, but suddenly she seemed to remember something, looked at each other with Alwen, ran together, came to the edge of the boat rail, and looked down.

"This ship didn't touch the sea surface at all, it was floating above the sea surface!" The ship was so close to the sea surface that it was hard to find anything even if you looked closely, but there were no ripples on the sea surface, which confirmed the fact that the ship The boat was not in contact with the sea.

Suspended on the surface of the sea, so the water cannot overflow into it.

But why it is suspended in the sea is another question.However, this alone made everyone feel horrified.

"My lord, do you want to continue to investigate?"

Angor was also a little thankful that he didn't board the boat at this time. He obviously didn't feel any energy fluctuations in this boat, but it was directly suspended on the sea surface, which was indeed too weird.

However, Angor was unwilling to give up halfway through the detection.

"Go to the captain's cabin." Although Angel said firmly that he would continue to explore, he had already taken off his right hand glove to make up for the somewhat fading nightmare aura on the Conch. Obviously, he didn't like it in his heart. As calm as it appears.

The scouting puppet began to go up. The captain's room is usually on the top floor, and this ship is the same.

As soon as the captain's cabin was opened, a burst of dust flew out of it.

"There is dust, which means there is very little moisture inside." Helen wondered, why are there two different states between the captain's cabin and the outside?
In the phantom, the dust disappeared, revealing the clues of the captain's room.Decayed old furniture and rags were scattered all over the floor.Other than that, there is more gold jewelry here, and it's all in perfect condition.

"This is indeed the style of the golden age, and judging from the decoration, it is very likely that it is the leading ship of the nobles." Alvin pointed to the carvings on several ornaments.

At this time, the detection 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 the ship, right? Judging from the rotting clothes, it must have been exquisite before. But, 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 so far, strangely enough, there has been no danger.

When Angel was thinking about the key point, there was a sudden exclamation from the sailors on the deck. Helen looked over suspiciously, and her pupils shrank suddenly: "My lord, the bottom of this ship has disappeared!"

Angor 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 area of ​​disappearance had reached the deck.

Seeing that the disappearing 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 white mist around them.

It seems that all the previous experiences are like phantom bubbles.

But the scroll held by the puppet inspected clearly told others that the ship definitely existed before.

"My lord, what is going on?"

"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.
