The ghost ship was like a phantom, coming and going in a hurry. Apart from Liszt and Dosen, no one knew what had happened on the ghost ship.
Only the corpses on the deck silently told of the terrible encounter just now.
The surviving sailors cooperated with the retainer Knight and began to clean up the corpses of the dead. The sudden appearance of the ghost ship killed a total of 23 people. Sailors, retainers, servants were all dead, and many people were injured. Fortunately, none of the four aristocrats on the ship was injured.
It didn't matter if Captain Lähden died or not, but the Liszt siblings must not have an accident. Once something happened, not only would Marquis Merlin be furious, but so would Leewilliam.
At that time, it wouldn't just be a few people who died.
"Liszt, what do you think?"
Levis's voice pulled Liszt back from his trance.
He was still thinking about the dog-eat-dog love between Curtis Veritas and Annette Sapphire.
The woman, crazy for love, actually restored the means of the wizards of ancient times, turned herself into a half-human, half-ghost lich, and made a legendary thing like the ghost ship. Now the ghost ship had collapsed, but the sheep-head flag, the sapphire dragon bow, the soul sinking wood, and the sapphire ring were still in his gem space.
It was a constant reminder that the ghost ship was not an illusion.
No one thought of encountering the ghost ship. Compared to sea monsters and storms, it was really unexpected. Therefore, the deputy butler Ranieri asked the three siblings with a heavy heart whether they should continue to Red Crab Island or immediately return to Coral Island.
Liszt, who recovered, asked faintly: "Brother, Sister, what do you think?"
Levis frowned: "I'm inclined to go back. The atmosphere of the New Year's Day is gone, and many people died. But this year's New Year's Day may be Grandfather's last New Year's Day. If we can't accompany Grandfather, it will leave him with great regret. Since we are all right, let's move on … Lvera, what do you think? "
"You decide." Lvera's face was still a little swollen.
Two faint handprints could be seen, which Liszt slapped to wake her up.
Of course, she didn't know all this.
Liszt did not reveal the secret of the Specter Ship to the public. It was related to a palace coup a hundred years ago, so there was no need to say it out loud. It might even expose his secret. He might as well be like the others and treat this as a strange and muddled encounter.
Anyway, no one knew what kind of existence the Specter Ship was.
When the mist covered their faces, they were already in an illusion. They couldn't see or hear anything. They didn't even notice the collapse of the Specter Ship and Curtis's miserable scream before his death.
After Levis made up his mind.
The speedboat continued to advance towards Red Crab Island.
Captain Morodo was not dead, and the remaining sailors were barely enough to steer the ship, so the voyage was not too affected.
However, the atmosphere on the ship was not as cheerful as it was when they first arrived. Lvera, who liked to make her presence known, had probably seen her weak side. She used the excuse of feeling unwell to hide in the cabin and lick her wounds. Levis and Captain Lähden had to deal with the dead people on the ship.
Ranieri looked worried. Although the appearance of the Specter Ship had nothing to do with him, this incident definitely did not add any points to his reputation.
Liszt was still enjoying the breeze on the deck with Dosen.
He looked a little absent-minded. Others regarded it as a dream, but he deeply experienced the secrets of the Specter Ship. There were still many questions in his mind. He originally thought that this world was a world of Dragons, Elves, Knights, and Mages. He didn't expect the Specter Ship and the Liches to appear one after another.
Then he thought of the rare professions recorded in the magic book "To His Highness Annette – Curtis Truth": Druid, Necromancer, Vampire, Enchanter, Prophet, and so on. There was also the Land of Exile and the Dragon Domain Lord plan. It didn't sound so simple.
"I hate these messy existences. Why don't I just cultivate my combat energy in peace? Why do I have to do all this messy magic!"
His absent-minded gaze fell on the deck. Several Squire Knight were tying up the corpses.
Paris was guarding beside Liszt. She saw Liszt's absent-minded expression and followed his gaze to the corpses.
She asked aloud, "Lord Baron, are you sad for Shawn, York, and Theodore?"
"Huh?" Liszt came back to his senses.
Shawn, York, and Theodore?
Only then did he remember that these three people were his retainer knights. Their deaths were indeed sad, even though he was just thinking about the ghost ship.
Nodding slightly, Liszt's tone was full of melancholy, "They were still very young and underage. I thought it was just an easy trip, but it took their lives."
"No one wants to see an accident like this, but you've done enough. Shawn, York, and Theodore are lucky to be able to follow a merciful lord," Paris said.
Did I do enough?
What did I do to these three people?
Liszt was a little confused about what was going on in Paris's mind, but he clearly felt that Paris's attitude towards him was getting closer and gentler.
In the past, he might have secretly rejoiced. It was so simple to win people's hearts.
But seeing Curtis's crazy look, he shuddered and felt that women, or female subordinates, should be kept at a suitable distance and not play with fire. Although a woman like Curtis was rare, who could guarantee that he wouldn't meet another Curtis?
"I'm ashamed to have done a little work."
… …
The green flames of the sheep-head flag solidified, and the green flames of the sapphire dragon bow also solidified.
In the gem space, everything was still. Liszt wanted to take them out and see what changes would happen, but he did not take the risk.
For the rest of the voyage, he acted as if he was not in high spirits like everyone else.
In fact, he had been reading the magic books in the gem space. The book written by Curtis Truth, he had only roughly read it before.
Now it was time to savor it.
If one was not a mage, reading the experimental content written by a great mage was tantamount to reading a heavenly book. Many things were unclear, even if there were some illustrations to explain. More importantly, most of the content of this book was about how to transform a mage into a Lich.
Liszt did not think he wanted to become a Lich, a creature that was neither human nor ghost.
"The transformation of the ghost ship is also very interesting. Maybe in the future, I can find a mage to study it. I can also make a ghost ship and see what the land of exile looks like … Unfortunately, there is no record of the keel fixing technique in this book. Maybe Curtis has mastered the keel fixing technique."
The keel fixing technique was owned by Marquis Cohen. His family's mages could embed the bones of dragons, sub-dragons, and dragon beasts into the keel of ships to expel sea monsters.
This technology was very coveted by Liszt, but it had been lost, and the only one who might have mastered it, Curtis, was killed by him.
