"Ghost Ship!"

After the rain, the sky was clear. Behind Victor and Wu Ming, the sailors and Vidy and others who followed each other screamed sharply when they saw the sailboat.

"Put down the lifeboat, I'm going to go up and take a look!"

As an old seaman, Victor clearly felt the difference of this ghost ship. In the sun, he looked like a dilapidated wooden ship, and there was no longer the strange fluorescence and terrifying aura in the storm.

"Hurry up! Don't be too slow!" He shouted: "As a sailor, it's really a lucky thing to be able to explore on the ghost ship in person!"

Obviously, the captain was very courageous and even made a decision regardless of the opposition of the crew.

"If that's the case, how about I'll accompany you?"

Wu Ming smiled and made a suggestion: "I am also very interested in this kind of ship!"

"This...well!"

After facing Wu Ming's mysterious gaze, Victor hesitated for a while and immediately agreed.

"Steven, are you crazy?"

Alice stood on the deck, her face full of tangle: "If something happens to you..."

"This is an adventure! Do you understand the adventure?"

What surprised Wu Ming was a little bit surprised was that the guy Vidy put a life jacket on himself and also got on the lifeboat: "The ghost ship on the sea, this matter will definitely become my lifelong boastful capital!"

“It’s really…”

Wu Ming shook his head with a wry smile. He knew that the reason why Vidy dared to come down was probably because of himself, and he couldn't help but secretly look in his head.

Although this guy has little character and perseverance, he is still a little loyal, so he might as well support him in the future.

"Okay, we two, plus a few seafarers, is enough. Alice, can you help me take care of Angelina?"

Wu Ming stared into Alice's eyes, making it impossible for her to say no.

"Okay OK! With my years of experience in sailing, the danger of being able to float in the sun is not too high..."

Victor clapped his palms, holding a oar with Wu Ming, slowly approaching the ghost ship.

The huge three-masted sailboat was quietly parked on the sea surface, and the wooden boards around it were rotting and had a foul smell.

"careful!"

The third pair on the yacht was about to grab a wooden board and roll onto the boat. Suddenly, he heard a "click" sound, and the wooden board was pulled down directly by him. He fell into the sea in shock.

The sea water in the morning was still very cold, and the guy was immediately trembling and rescued back to the lifeboat. Obviously, he could not participate in the subsequent exploration.

"Be careful, the wood of this sailboat is already very rotten..."

Victor held his pipe in his mouth and looked at the sailboat with a look of nostalgia: "I suspect that just one wave will make it fall apart. Such a old ship is very rare..."

Wu Ming carefully used his flying claws to cover a seemingly solid mast, and Victor was the first to climb up.

"This floor... made me feel a little worried!"

Wu Ming immediately followed, Vidy was the last one, he stepped on the deck of the three-masted sailboat, and sweat appeared on his face.

After being disrepaired and being soaked by sea water, the wooden board became very soft. Although it felt comfortable to step on, Wu Ming doubted whether he would stomp a hole in the deck directly with force.

"Don't worry too much, the keel of this ship is quite solid..."

Victor looked at the ship carefully, and a hint of doubt appeared on his face: "She is stronger than I thought. Is it a bonus for the ghosts?"

Click!

Speaking of this, he no longer hesitated and directly opened the cabin door and entered the interior of the cabin.

The gas searchlight emitted a bright light, a foul smell came, the floor was wet, and some seaweed and shellfish were even crawled, full of a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

"Guru! Guru!"

Victor opened a room door at will, and the entire door shattered. Then, several white skeletons fell down, and the empty skulls were dripping around the ground, causing Vidy to scream.

"This should be the crew's lounge. I don't know what happened to them at the beginning. I let them die here together, and it seems that there is no struggle at all..."

Victor looked at this scene, but his face became solemn.

He and Wu Ming looked at each other and walked to the best position in the cabin, which was the private space that belonged to the captain alone.

Pang!

The wooden door was split directly, revealing a somewhat old cabin.

In the era of great navigation, due to the limited space of ships, we had to make full use of them to load more goods and have an independent cabin, which is definitely a proof of identity on the ship!

Victor's vicious eyes immediately stared at the desk. Wu Ming stood there and had already taken out a black and thick navigation log.

This book is obviously well treated with moisture and moth protection. Even though it takes a lot of time to wash it, it can still be read.

"Diary of Navigation? The Captain's Diary?"

Victor curled his lips and showed a sarcastic smile: "Mr. Steven, do you think that now is the age of pirates, and those captains will bury their private treasures in a deserted island and leave a map?"

After entering the industrial era, this inefficient method has long been abandoned.

The captains' private wealth is either deposited directly into the bank and designated heirs, or they have been squandered for a long time, or they have purchased stocks and funds and other value-preserving products. Where can there be anything left?

As for the more important private routes, after a great geographical discovery, even the world map was drawn. Perhaps the route recorded by the late captain was priceless at the time, but now it must have been full of merchant ships!

He was somewhat interested in the captain's treasures.

Although some luxury goods have been corrupted, gold and silver will not corrupt.

"According to international practice, all discoveries in the high seas belong to the explorer...Steven, Mr. Widdy, you have participated in this expedition and can also allocate your share!"

Captain Victor said with a smile regardless of the second mate next to him.

After estimating the value of these "legacy", he gave up the idea of ​​taking it alone. After all, there are not many valuable things on this ghost ship, and it is not worth his adventure.

When Wu Ming and others hired him, his appearance, name and ship had long been registered. For such a little wealth, he went to be a pirate? Especially when he got involved in such a group of second-generations who looked very backgrounded?

Years of life experience have made Captain Victor immediately give up this idea.

“We have a share too?!”

Vidy's eyes lit up and she cheered.

He didn't care how much he could earn, but just thought of getting a "proof" of an adventure from here, as a capital for boasting and collecting in the future, it was very respectable.

"I'm very happy to be able to participate in this expedition, and I don't ask for any reward..."

Wu Ming smiled slightly, but the words he said changed Captain Victor's face: "It's just... why should you auction these things? How about sending them away?"

"What do you mean?"

Before Victor could speak, he jumped out and shouted, "I'm not talking yet."

"Did the captain recognize the origin of the ship?"

Wu Ming did not answer and looked directly at Victor.

"If I read it correctly, this should be a very active slave ship at that time. Of course, as long as it sinks in the high seas, it will become something without a master!"

Victor showed the extraordinary vision and literacy of a captain.

"Indeed, this is a slave ship, and it was also the famous Hawk Sea Mountain at that time!"

Wu Ming patted the navigation log in his hand.

"Hauck Sea Mountain?! Hawk...Hauck family!"

Victor exclaimed: "That big merchant group in the navigation and shipbuilding industry in the Kingdom?!"

"Hmph, even if this is the case, will they dare to cross the law and cause trouble?"

Vidy and the second deputy both expressed this meaning, but Victor was silent.

"The most valuable thing here is some of the treasures in the captain's room, which are worth less than 10,000 yuan!"

The appraiser's experience made Wu Ming very qualified to say this, "But if we return it to the Hawk family, we will get their friendship. I wonder if Captain Victor is interested in other businesses?"

"Other business?"

"Not bad! I'm very interested in the ruins and treasures in the high seas and am preparing to form a salvage company! I was hesitating about the problem of manpower and channels, but now everything has been solved!"

Wu Ming looked at Victor, "If you agree, I am willing to make you my partner and inject one million yuan in advance!"

"One million?"

The second mate exclaimed that the purchasing power of gold and yuan in this era is very high, which is obviously an extremely amazing wealth. Compared with this, the ghost ship is nothing.

"Ocean salvage company?"

Victor touched his chin: "Do you have any inside information?"

He strongly suspected that Wu Ming had obtained a certain shipwreck map, so he paid attention to it. Otherwise, this kind of salvage company would be basically the same as a big fortune, with most of them losing money.

Wu Ming also smiled unfathomable. Of course, he would not say that he just wanted to discover possible remains in the deep sea, and he had already prepared to pay for money.

Of course, I definitely can't say that at this time.

“我只是相信一旦拥有了霍克家族的友谊与人脉,如果维克多船长再愿意加盟的话,我们的事业一定会大获成功的!”

Wu Ming strengthened his tone.

"You can wait until you go back..."
