In the vast sea, sea monsters were an unavoidable topic for seafarers, but in addition to sea monsters, various storms and disasters were also an eternal topic.
In addition to these, ghost ships, singing demons, and so on were often repeatedly mentioned by sailors.
The devil cloud was a mixed story of storms and ghost ships. Liszt was not unfamiliar with the origin of this story.
The captain pointed to the rolling black clouds in the distant sky and the lightning in the black clouds, and said without fear, "The devil cloud … is the manifestation of the vengeful spirit of Marquis Cohen!"
"Marquis Cohen?"
Liszt quickly remembered that there was a keel bone in his gem space. According to Captain Kosto on the Flower, the keel bone technique originated from the magicians of Marquis Cohen's family. However, with Marquis Cohen's participation in the palace coup and the destruction of his family, the keel bone technique was lost.
"The ghost ship's captain, Marquis Cohen, was once the king of navigation in the Aquamarine Sea. Legend has it that he went to the Devil's Sea and obtained the power of the devil!"
Looking at the approaching dark clouds and lightning, the captain said with a trembling voice.
There were no legends of gods in this world, but there were legends of devils. The sea beyond the Aquamarine Sea was called the Devil's Sea because in legend, the Devil's Sea was a place where devils roamed. Even the Dragon Knight did not dare to cross the Devil's Sea.
Levis, however, impatiently scolded, "What nonsense! Marquis Cohen was just a marquis a hundred years ago. He committed a great crime of rebellion and was strangled to death in a prison on Blue Dragon Island! "
The captain chuckled, feeling a little gloomy, "But … there were sailors who really saw a ghost ship in the devil's cloud, flying the flag of Marquis Cohen's sheep head. The sheep head burned with green fire, turned into a skeleton, and sucked all the blood out of people!"
"Morodo!"
Ranieri, the deputy steward on the ship, had just arrived. When he heard what he said, he immediately shouted, "Put away your nonsense. The nobles are countless times more knowledgeable than you. Keep your nonsense to scare yourself! Hurry up and find a way to survive this storm! "
After saying that, Ranieri said to the three siblings, "I'm sorry, Young Master, Young Miss, Morodo likes to talk nonsense. He definitely has a way to survive this storm … Let him stay in the captain's cabin and command the sailors to fight against the storm. You guys go rest in the cabin first."
Liszt did not want to rest. He still wanted to figure out the devil cloud that Captain Morodo had mentioned.
However, Levis, who was sure that Morodo was babbling nonsense, had already left. He thought about it and could only follow him out of the captain's cabin — this was indeed not a good time to disturb Morodo's command.
They arrived at the cabin.
Ranieri asked the accompanying manservant to serve coffee and explained, "Little Young Master, Little Miss, please forgive Captain Morodo's nonsense. He was once the most outstanding captain of Red Crab Island. He commanded the sailboat and rushed out of a deadly whirlpool. His son died in a storm accident. "
A melodramatic story came out of Ranieri's mouth.
Five years ago, Ranieri's family was harmonious and happy. He had a handsome only son and his dream was to command a ship to sail the Azure Waves Sea like his father. For this dream, the young man started as a sailor and worked until he became the first mate. Finally, he had the opportunity to command a ship independently.
But three months later, the ship did not return. Only two sailors on the ship escaped.
They claimed that the ship had encountered the devil, the devil hiding in the storm clouds. The ghost ship flying the flag of the Marquis Cohen family engulfed their ship.
Ranieri's son was swallowed by the devil while they were unconscious on the plank and were rescued by a passing merchant ship.
"Since then, Morodo firmly believed that the devil cloud would find him sooner or later. When he saw the storm clouds, he thought that the devil cloud had come … He had a high prestige on the ship. The sailors were personally trained by him. When he said it was the devil cloud, the sailors called it the devil cloud."
After listening, Levis frowned and said, "Mr. Ranieri, since Morodo has become a madman, why does Longtaro Castle still let him continue to be the captain?"
Ranieri said awkwardly, "His experience is an irreplaceable and valuable asset. On the sea, he can always overcome storms. No one is more suitable to be a captain than him. When the master was still able to fight, he would always take Morodo's ship and go overseas. "
Levis raised his eyebrows and did not continue to say anything. After all, he was the meritorious captain of Longtaro Castle.
Occasionally being foolish was not enough to be abandoned.
Liszt looked at his brother and sister, who had calmed down, and still felt uneasy. He pushed the door open and went out. "I'm a little stuffy, I'm going up to see what's going on."
"Sir Baron, do you feel uneasy?" Paris followed.
Touching Dosen's fur, Liszt did not speak. He just released Magic Eyes and observed the dark clouds and lightning that were about to roll over. Like a black towering wall, it roared to cut off the connection between the sea and the world, isolating the fast sailing ship from the world.
The picture of the sky being half black and half white was shuddering.
In the vision of Magic Eyes, the black clouds and the rising and falling lightning had vague signs of magic, but it seemed to be just a magic reaction caused by the lightning. When the lightning lit up, there was a trace of magic; when the lightning went out, the trace of magic disappeared.
"It shouldn't be the magic of the ghost ship, it's just that the lightning stimulated the wandering magic." Liszt had seen the scene of lightning and thunder, and at that time, he also found that lightning could stimulate magic.
If there was a ghost ship, just like he could find the 36D Specter hidden in the Keel, Magic Eyes would definitely be able to see the magic of the ghost ship.
No, it meant that it was not a devil cloud, just a simple storm.
It could relax the mood.
However, he was still nervous and vexed. I should have brought the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl with me! When I go back this time, I must ask Granny Truth to make me a Calm Pearl again! No, I'll make the largest black pearl into a Sea-Calming Divine Pearl! I hate storms! "
His anxiety was quickly suppressed by him.
He touched Dosen's fur and thought, "Dosen has learned to swim. I can ride him and drift on the sea … It can also release rock thorns in the sea, so it shouldn't be difficult to stab ordinary sea monsters to death."
However, he quickly thought of a problem.
He immediately ordered his retainer Knight, Philip, "Go and inform Sir Leiden to remember to send someone to guard the life raft. If there is no problem, then so be it, but if there is, make sure that the life raft is in our hands."
"Yes, my lord!"
Suddenly, he remembered that Paris was right beside him. If his selfish words were heard by her, he would definitely be despised and his loyalty would be lowered.
However, his brain turned very fast. He turned his head and said directly to Paris, who had not yet reacted, "If the storm capsizes the sailboat, remember to follow me closely and don't rush around. There are only a few life rafts on the ship, and they can't save too many people. I don't want anything to happen to you. "
Paris, who did not know what was going on, was immediately moved. "I … know … thank you, I should be the one to protect you."
"Only by living will you have a chance to protect me."
