Ethan’s Fantasy Drift

"Hello, Captain Ethan."

Ethan's youthful appearance made several people look surprised, and what made them even more surprised was that after such a period of time, no second person other than Ethan was seen on the ship.

These people looked at each other, and they all showed vigilance and fear, as if thinking of something terrible. In the end, Philip bravely stood up and asked his own question very carefully.

"Are your crew... all resting?"

"No, I'm the only one on the boat."

Ethan did not deliberately hide the truth. The situation of these people was not very good. He could feel that their strengths were very different from his own.

After hearing that there was no one else on their boat, these few people did not show the tendency to "do a big job". Instead, they showed more fear, and even took a step back unconsciously. Ethan noticed that the battle captain Sean actually glanced behind him, as if he was about to jump directly into the sea.

"I'm sorry, but I'm curious what exactly are you afraid of?"

Ethan is not the type of person who likes to play guessing games or like to talk in circles. In this case, he prefers to ask straight-to-the-point questions and directly understand why the other party is acting so strange.

Hearing this question from him, these people were a little surprised at first, and then realized that they were happy, and even let out a long sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, because we just encountered a ghost ship before, which caused us to lose the ship and all our partners, and now we have another ship without a crew, so..."

"Ghost ship?" Ethan was very interested in the ghost ship Philip said, but he explained it smoothly: "I have magic stone control equipment on my ship."

"Yes, we have already thought about it." Magic stone technology is not uncommon in this sea area. It has never come out of the shadows before, and I think of the ghost ship habitually, almost forgetting that there is still magic stone control. thing.

It is precisely because of this reassurance that several people collapsed directly on the deck, unable to stand up even if they wanted to.

"You rest here first, and I'll fetch some food and water for you."

"Thank you very much for your generosity, Captain Ethan."

First mate Philip took off his hat and thanked Ethan; the other two did the same, but they seemed to be in a worse state and could not even speak.

Ethan quickly brought food and water, and some fruits to make up for the lack of stamina and nutrition for these people. When they ate some, the expressions on their faces improved a lot, and they didn't seem to be able to fall down at any time. It seemed that he couldn't get up, so he asked a question that he was very interested in.

"You said you encountered a ghost ship?"

It was still the first mate Philip who replied. It seemed that the other two people trusted and respected the first mate. When Philip was speaking, they would not interrupt, but would only nod their approval.

"It was a huge ghost warship. He disguised as a ship in distress and sent a distress signal. Our Advance was tricked into that ship and drowned."

"All over? Only the three of you escaped?"

He didn't understand a little. If the ghost ship can kill the crew after tricking them into the ship, then they only need to leave in time, it seems that the whole ship will not be destroyed, right? Can't escape?

"Yes, as soon as we found out something was wrong, we immediately wanted to stay away from that weird ghost ship, but suddenly there was a thick fog that made us unable to see the surrounding environment clearly, no matter how we sailed, it seemed to be spinning in a range, and Every time the night comes, weird things start to happen on our ship."

It seems that they remembered the horror of those days, and the faces of several people who had just recovered became pale again.

"Later we realized that the evil spirits had been eyeing us, and if this continued, our ship would also become a ghost ship, so the captain ordered to abandon the ship and scatter in escape boats to leave."

Having said this, the first mate Philip lowered his head: "We are scattered on all the escape boats, and each boat has at least ten people on board, but even on the boats, strange things often happen... In the end, only our small boat accidentally crashed out of the strange sea filled with mist, and the others...even the bodies were not left behind."

Philip buried his face in his hands, dissatisfied with his inability to save everyone, but when he thought of the situation at the time, he felt deeply powerless and didn't know what to do.

"You have done a good job, you have successfully rescued your partner."

Ethan didn't know how to comfort him. After all, he had never experienced it and had no idea about the situation at the time, so he could only say something that didn't hurt.

Fortunately, there is a suitable person by his side who can comfort Philip, so that the old man, who is old enough to be Ethan's father, will no longer cry like a child.

After the mood eased, Philip wiped the tears from his face: "I made you laugh."

Ethan shook his head to show that he didn't mind. He originally wanted to ask about the ghost ship and all the weird things that happened on their ship, but he suddenly found that it was not the right time, and he didn't seem to need to waste his words.

"Is that the ghost ship you mentioned before?"

Philip was stunned for a moment, then followed Ethan's fingers to the side, and saw a ship he was very familiar with.

It was a large galleon-type sailing ship, and the sails on it were all broken, making a hunting sound under the sea breeze. There were many ruins on the hull. Ethan was surprised that the ship could still float steadily on the sea, and even the waves did not affect him. It was very stable and did not look like a broken ship at all.

"No!" Philip's expression was very complicated, and he didn't know how to describe it for a while. His trembling voice contained shock, despair, and disbelief: "That's our ship, the Advance!"

Ethan's eyelids jumped, and things seemed to become more interesting. He took out the binoculars and looked at the ship carefully, and finally saw the name of the ship on the side of the bow: Advance.

It seems that this person did not appear to be in a state of confusion because of the disaster he had just experienced, and he did not admit his ship was wrong.

"How long did it take you to meet the ghost ship, escape, and finally be rescued by me?"

"It's been seven days from encountering the ghost ship to being rescued by Your Excellency."

"Seven days..."

Ethan picked up the telescope again, looked at the ship whose distance never changed, and carefully observed the details above.

"Captain Ethan..."

"Um?"

Philip's voice was clearly trembling, and it seemed that the ghost ship had left a very large psychological shadow on him.

"Turn around quickly."

When the sailing warship is sailing, if the wind direction and wind speed are suitable, after selecting the canvas, you can lock the steering wheel and let it run forward by itself - the premise is of course in the vast sea area that will never hit the reefs as far as the eye can see.

Only when the wind direction is complicated or sailing against the wind, it is necessary to adjust the sail and direction frequently. In order to facilitate his exercise at sea, Ethan often chooses a more lazy way to sail downwind.

At this time, the Goddess of Dawn is sailing straight ahead along the wind. If it follows this speed and direction, it may soon be able to meet the suspected ghost ship Advance.

"No need, don't you notice that the distance between us has never changed?"

Ethan has noticed this for a long time. The ghost ship seems to be parked at sea. In fact, it has been moving at a speed similar to that of the Dawn Goddess. The distance between the two has not changed at all. Ethan does not need to try. I knew that my ship had been targeted by the other party.

"God!" Philip hugged his head, and he suddenly understood something: "We didn't escape at all, those terrifying undead just let us out on purpose to attract more prey to the bait."

He doesn't think he can escape this time. Although Captain Ethan next to him has a very good ship and is equipped with magic stone equipment, it seems that these things can't work in the face of such a strange thing as a ghost ship. too much effect.

Philip is an experienced chief mate. Of course he knows what the attitude of the ship under his feet is when he is moving at full speed. He noticed just now that the ship has been in a state of full speed downwind, and he can't get rid of the ghost. The ship proves that the other party has a speed no less than this ship.

At sea, speed determines a lot. The party with the superior speed can take a lot of initiative, and the party who suffers will even be bullied to death by the other party.

With the endless sea level, you can see the other side's environment from a long distance, which really makes people experience what it means to be unable to fight and run away.

Right now, they're the underdog.

Ethan patted Philip on the shoulder: "Since you can't escape, think about how to deal with it."

Philip straightened his chest again, and put on the hat that he had been holding in his hand, which was about to rot: "I'm sorry, Captain Ethan, we have troubled you."

"Even without you, according to the direction I'm going, this guy will find me, so you don't have to feel guilty."

Philip shook his head. He still felt that it was the appearance of himself and others that implicated Ethan. How could he feel guilty mainly because Ethan was too young. Seeing that he has a good boat at such a young age, he should have a bright future. the future, instead of being buried in the hands of the dead.

Ethan didn't continue to ask Philip about the ghost ship. The ghost ship had already been staring at him, so they would definitely come over. At that time, he would know exactly what the ghost ship had.

At the same time, this group of undead can also be told about his Ethan's methods.
