Chapter 118: The Hidden Ship
A bird is flying in the darkness.
It was flying at an extremely fast speed, like a ray of light, and with the slightly bright lines, even if you noticed it in this pure black sea, you would only see it flash by.
It was originally flying parallel to the sky, but suddenly dived downwards.
At this moment, on the dark sea below.
An extremely slender ship was sailing on the waves, and the calm sea water beside it splashed to both sides as if it was cut by a knife.
The entire ship is moving at an extremely fast speed, obviously faster than ordinary sailboats on the sea.
It may have something to do with the appearance of the ship.
This slender pirate ship is only more than 20 meters long and only a few meters wide.
The length-to-width ratio is obviously not within the normal range.
The slender hull has three tall masts and full cross sails.
The canvas was black, indicating their identity, and there was a small flag flying on the top with a picture of a sickle piercing a skull.
This ship belongs to the one who prays for the dead.
The bird made of blue lines flew straight down and landed on the shoulder of one of them.
This is a man of relatively strong build, with a scar running from the upper left forehead to the lower right chin.
Dividing the entire face into two makes him look extremely hideous and terrifying, but it is also in line with his identity.
Looking at the bird on his shoulder, he seemed to be listening to something.
As the bird disappeared, he unfolded the map he had been holding.
Using the lighting stone beside him, he calculated the distance and his current location.
After some calculations, he came to the man at the helm and said, "Go in this direction. There may be someone here that the captain needs."
Hearing this, the younger-looking pirate at the helm nodded and turned the rudder to the left.
With both hands on the rudder, he couldn't help but say, "Why did we change direction again? We have been sailing in this dark place for several days."
"Don't complain. If you don't want to die, just catch your target well."
Hearing the scarred man's words, the pirate shook his head in disdain, and then said sarcastically: "Who knows what will happen even if we catch the target? Maybe the captain will still hang him on the mast."
Hearing the pirate's disdainful tone, the scarred man did not refute but sighed.
Of course he knew it, but what could he do?
They are just weak pirates. The strong prey on the weak and the strong are respected.
"I wish I could be a toucher like you, big brother. Being an ordinary pirate means you could be executed by the captain at any time. He's like a madman."
Hearing his brother's words, the scarred man recalled his life and shook his head helplessly: "No, even if you become a toucher, there won't be much change."
"It was clearly him who gave the order to fire the cannon last time, but later he hanged all those who fired the cannon. He is getting more and more crazy now."
Hearing his brother still talking and seeing the pirates manipulating the canvas in the distance, he couldn't help but slap his brother on the back of the head.
"Okay, shut up. It's fine if you say it in front of me, but if you say it somewhere else, I can't protect you."
After seriously reprimanding his brother, he sighed helplessly, which made him look a little less scary despite his already ferocious appearance.
Their captain was good in every way except for one flaw, which was fatal to them.
At some point he would suddenly go mad, like a different person, full of anger, during which he would find all sorts of reasons to execute the pirates who offended him.
He could kill at will, but he had to find a reason.
And the last time, all the pirates who had made contributions were executed. Even a pirate like him who didn't have much wisdom knew that doing so would cause morale to fall.
But the Captain paid no attention, whether he was mad or sane.
There will always be countless people like him who yearn for this pirate group that terrifies the outside world.
And he really doesn't need to care, because he holds the treasure and the most powerful force of the entire team.
Not to mention that the power of these people was given by their captain, a supernatural ability beyond that of ordinary people.
It always makes people feel superior, and the feeling of power is addictive.
"Okay, start the boat quickly and cheer up the brothers."
"Who is this man? Why do we have to catch him? And since it's so important, why doesn't the captain bring people here in person?"
The pirate at the helm couldn't help but ask, and Alka's appearance came back to his mind.
As they separated into separate ships and left the fleet, the captain asked all of them to remember Alka's appearance.
He seriously suspected that it was for this person that they went in this direction to carry out the large-scale looting.
After all, they have better options.
You have to know that the Church of Our Lady exists in this direction. If you accidentally offend her, it will not be a problem that can be easily solved.
They had waited at the border for a long time before they ambush their target.
All the main cadres were involved, but they ended up running away.
I don’t know why the captain decided not to come in person for such an important target.
Hearing his brother's words, the scarred pirate couldn't help but recall the captain's madness in his mind.
"Don't ask. It's a good thing that you can come out at this time."
Then he ordered all the pirates on the ship to move faster and speed up the ship.
The direction they were heading to was the island where Alka and the others were at the moment.
…
"Okay, it's done." Xia Daiti handed the freshly drawn map to Alka.
The ink and paint on it have not had time to dry completely.
Alka took it carefully from underneath. It was actually already usable before Xiadaiti had even finished drawing the map.
Alka also had a general understanding of what a standard, usable map looked like.
First, the shape of the island must be accurate enough, and then the locations of the various landmarks and places within it must be accurate.
In fact, when Xiadaiti completed the general outline and rough drawings of some locations on the island, it was already usable for Alka.
Alka blinked.
Two spots of light appeared on the map.
Both light spots are blue, and there are no other light spots besides them.
It seems that when leaving, the residents of this island did take away all the valuables they could.
Over the years, even if there was anything left, it was looted by those who came later to look for treasure.
And it is very likely that one of these two light spots is where the spell ship is located.
Alka reached out and looked at the map carefully.

[Treasure information: The Ratmagan family has been engaged in the shipbuilding business for generations, and the business can be traced back to six hundred years ago and has never been interrupted.
400 years ago, they began to work on the creation of ghost ships. 】
Isn't it a ship?
Looking at the name and description of this treasure information, it is obvious that it has nothing to do with ships.
And this Ratmacan family is the family mentioned in Xia Daiti’s Zhonghai Zhonghai blog.
They have been specializing in shipbuilding for more than 600 years. They are indeed a shipbuilding family.
Moreover, 400 years ago they actually started to manufacture ghost ships. It seems that they are now more powerful than what Xia Daiti said.
But Alka remembered that Lucelia said that in order to build a ghost ship, treasures must be available.
Look at the other blue dot, it must be a ship.

[Treasure information: The Ratmagan family obtained the manufacturing information of the ghost ship 400 years ago, but due to limited conditions, they could only use the manufacturing information to build the spell ship. ]
It's settled.
When seeing the information about the treasure, Alka couldn't help but smile.
It seems that this blue dot should be the ship that was hidden at that time.
But looking at the place where the blue dot was, Alka couldn't help but reveal an awkward smile on his face.
The place where the ship was hidden was almost parallel to another blue dot in the center of the island, and even half of them overlapped.
This means that they are both in the same place.
Take your eyes off the map.
Looking at Xia Daiti beside him.
"Where's Porro?" Alka leaned out the door, but did not see the huge figure.
"He said he was hungry and wanted to go fishing. He wondered if there were any fish around that hadn't been affected by the darkness."
After that, Xia Dai looked at Alka and asked, "How is it, did you find anything using the map?"
Alka nodded and said, "I have roughly found the place where the family you mentioned may have hidden the spell ship."
Hearing Alka's words, Xia Daiti tilted his head and stared at him, his face full of confusion.
What are you talking about?
She couldn't help but walk forward and look at the map she had just drawn.
Well, the painting is not bad, but the tools are not fully prepared, the environment is not good, and the exploration is not detailed, so it is not perfect.
So here comes the question.
Is there something different about the map you drew? Or did you draw something that you didn't even know about?
How did Alka know this just by relying on this map?
He raised his head and looked at Alka, opened his mouth and thought for a moment, then swallowed back the question he was about to ask.
He asked again: "Where is it?"
Alka didn't try to hide it too much, but he didn't want to explain it either. He just pointed at the center of the map and said, "Here."
Xiadaiti looked at the place where Alka pointed, and couldn't help frowning and thinking.
After a while she nodded: "It's possible."
"Why do you say that?" Alka was a little confused. He had never been there and just knew it was there.
Why is Xia Daiti so arbitrary?
“I used the waves I used to detect the terrain, and when I passed by there before, I detected a large cave underneath.
It's normal for an island to have caves under it, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But if you said there might be ships here, then that ship might be hidden in that place."
I see.
At this time, Porro's voice was heard outside, but he did not come in because he could not get in due to his size.
A smell of blood came, and he was holding a big fish that was about two meters long in his hand. It looked a bit ugly.
"There are blackwater fish here too, would you like to try some?"
Blackwater fish is the same kind of fish that Alka and his friends had eaten before.
I've been eating that stuff these days.
