Overgod Ascension

“Ghost... Ghost ship! ”

After the rain had cleared up, after Victor and Wu Ming, the following sailors and Vidi and others saw the sailboat, all of them shouting sharply.

“Drop the lifeboat. I'm going up there! ”

As an old seaman, Victor obviously felt the difference between this ghost ship, in the sun, completely like a wrecked wooden boat, and no longer had that weird fluorescence and frightening atmosphere in the storm.

“Come on! Don't slow down!” He drinks: “Being a sailor, it's a very lucky thing to be able to explore in person on a ghost ship! ”

Obviously, His Excellency the Captain was very courageous and even made his own decision, despite the objections of the crew.

“In that case, how about I accompany you? ”

Wu Ming smiled and made a suggestion: "I am also very interested in this type of boat! ”

“This… OK! ”

Viktor hesitated after looking at Shang Wu Ming and said yes.

“Steven, are you crazy? ”

Alice stood on the deck, her face full of tangled colors: "If anything happens to you...”

“It's an adventure! Adventure, you understand? ”

To the slightest surprise of Wu Ming, this guy put a life jacket on himself and also got on the lifeboat: “The ghost ship on the ocean, this is bound to be my lifetime bragging capital! ”

“Really...”

Wu Ming grinned and shook his head, knowing that Vidi dared to come down, I'm afraid because of himself, he couldn't help but shake his jaw.

This guy is not very good in character and perseverance, but at least he has a sense of morality, so you can carry him later.

“Well, the two of us, plus a few sailors, is enough, Alice. Can you take care of Angelina for me? ”

Wu Ming stared into Alice's eyes, making it impossible for her to utter a refusal.

“All right, all right! With my years of experience sailing, ghost ships floating in the sun are not too dangerous...”

Victor clapped his hands and slowly approached the Ghost Boat with a boat paddle with Wu Ming alone.

The giant sailboat rested quietly on the surface of the sea, with decaying planks and a stench.

“Careful! ”

The three pairs on the yacht were ready to grab a plank and tumble onto the boat. Suddenly, all they heard was a 'click’. He actually pulled the plank down, and the whole person fell stunned into the sea.

The water was still very cold in the early morning, and the guy was immediately shaken back on the lifeboat, obviously unable to participate in the later exploration.

“Be careful, the sailboat's wood has decayed...”

Victor held the pipe and looked at the sailboat with a look of remembrance in his eyes: “I suspect that just one wave will break it apart. Such an old boat is very rare...”

Wu Ming carefully covered a mast with flying claws, and Victor was the first to climb up.

“This floor… it makes me feel a little faint! ”

Wu Ming immediately followed, and Vidi was the last, and he stepped on the deck of the sailboat with a sweat on his face.

After years of disrepair and seawater soaking, the wooden board became very soft. Though it felt comfortable to step on it, Wu Ming doubted whether he would directly stamp the deck out of a hole under the force.

“Don't worry too much, the dragonbones on this boat are quite strong...”

Viktor weighed the boat carefully and his face revealed a hint of doubt: "Is she stronger than I thought, a boost for the ghosts? ”

Knock!

Speaking of which, he stopped hesitating and opened the hatch door and entered the cabin.

Gas searchlights shine brightly, smell bad, moist floors and even climb some seaweed and shellfish, filled with a gloomy and horrible atmosphere.

“Gollum! Grunting!”

Victor randomly pulled open a room door, and the whole door cracked down, spinning, several white skeletons fell, and the hollow skeletons slipped around the ground, causing Vidie to scream.

“This should be the crew's lounge, I don't know what happened, let them die here together, as if they didn't struggle at all...”

Victor looked at the scene and his face grew stiff.

He glanced at Wu Ming and walked to one of the best positions in the cabin, a private space reserved for the captain.

Pong!

The wooden door was directly split open, revealing a somewhat obsolete compartment.

In the age of great voyages, due to the limited space available to ships, it was necessary to make the most of it, to load more commodities, to have a separate cabin and to be absolutely proof of identity on board!

Victor's poisonous eyes immediately stared at the desk, where Wu Ming stood and had pulled out a black and thick nautical log.

The book is obviously well moisture-proof and cavity-proof and can be read even though it has not been washed for a long time.

“Voyage log? Captain's diary? ”

Victor leaves his mouth open and reveals a somewhat ridiculous laugh: "Mr. Steven, do you think the captains would bury their own personal treasure on a deserted island and leave a map in this pirate era? ”

This inefficient approach has long been abandoned since the era of industrialization.

The captains' private wealth was either deposited directly in the bank, designated heirs, wasted a long time ago, or purchased value preserving products such as stocks and funds, where could there be anything left?

As for more important private routes, even the map of the world was drawn after the discovery of geography. Perhaps one of the routes described by the late captain was worth a fortune at the time, but it must have been full of merchant ships by now!

He has some interest in the captain's treasure.

While some luxury goods have rotted, gold and silverware do not rot.

“In accordance with international practice, discoveries on the high seas are always owned by the Explorers… Mr. Steven, Mr. Vidi, you have taken part in this adventure, and you can also allocate a share in it! ”

Captain Victor smiled, ignoring the two faces beside him.

After estimating the value of these ‘legacies', he gave up the idea of being alone. After all, there was not much value on this ghost ship, and it was not worth his adventure.

When Wu Ming and others hired him, his face name and boat had long been registered, so to be a pirate for a little bit of wealth? Especially with a bunch of second-generation people who look like they have a good background?

Years of experience have prompted Captain Victor to abandon the idea immediately.

“We also have a share?! ”

Vidie's eyes lit up and cheered.

He doesn't care how much he earns, but it's a very honorable thing to think about getting some kind of 'proof’ of an adventure from here, as a bragging and collecting capital in the future.

“I'm already happy to participate in this adventure, but I don't ask for anything in return...”

Wu Ming smiled and the words made Captain Victor look different: “It's just... why auction off these things? Why don't we send it away? ”

“What do you mean? ”

Victor hasn't spoken yet, and the two pairs next to him, the five big three chunks and the big waist, jumped out and shouted.

“Did the captain recognize the ship's origins? ”

Wu Ming didn't answer and looked directly at Victor.

“If I'm not mistaken, it should have been a very active slave ship at the time, and of course, as long as it sinks on the high seas, it becomes something without a master! ”

Victor revealed the extraordinary vision and qualities of a captain.

“Indeed, it was a slave ship and the famous Hawk Mountain at the time! ”

Wu Ming clapped the nautical log on his clap.

“Mount Hawk?! Hawk... the Hawk family! ”

Victor made a shout: "The big corporation in the Kingdom's shipping and navigation industry?! ”

“Well, even so, how dare they cross the law to get into trouble? ”

Viktor was silent when both Viktor and Second Lieutenant revealed that.

“The most valuable thing here is some of the treasures in the captain's chamber, worth less than $10,000! ”

The experience of the appraiser makes Wu Ming very qualified to say this, "But if we return it to the Hawks, we will get their friendship, wondering if Captain Victor is interested in any other business? ”

“Other business? ”

“Nice! I am interested in relics and treasures on the high seas and am ready to form a salvage company! I was still hesitating about people and channels, but now it's all settled! ”

Wu Ming looked at Victor and said, "If you agree, I'd like you to be my partner and invest a million dollars in advance! ”

“A million? ”

The second pair shouted that the purchasing power of the Golden Dollar in this era was so high that it was clearly a tremendous asset that ghost ships were nothing compared to this.

“Ocean salvage company? ”

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

He strongly suspected that Wu Ming had obtained a chart of the wreck before taking note of it. Otherwise, this kind of salvage company was basically as expensive as colliding with Dayun.

Wu Ming also smiled with a highly unpredictable smile. Of course, he would not say that he was just trying to discover possible relics in the deep sea, and was already ready to stick money.

Certainly not at this point.

“I just believe that once we have the friendship and connections of the Hawks, if Captain Victor is willing to join us again, our career will be a success! ”

Wu Ming intensified his tone.

“We can wait until we get back...”

Victor's face showed a hint of hesitation and turned to a bitter smile: “At this age, you think so much, I finally know why I've been a poor ghost all my life...”
