I was expelled from Hogwarts?

Chapter 259 Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin?

The so-called ghost ships are those ships that are believed to be missing or sunk, but are found to be still floating in the sea many years later.

Both wizards and Muggles have written about this:

As early as in Sumerian cuneiform clay tablets, it was mentioned that Utnabisiddin encountered a ferry boat without any human beings in the Persian Gulf.

He escaped the flood by hiding in it.

There are also murals with ghost ships in ancient Egypt, and the wizard Odysseus in ancient Greece drifted on the sea for ten years after the end of the Trojan War... There are many records of this.

With the advent of the age of great voyages, Muggles have recorded more, the most famous of which is the Flying Dutchman.

The most bizarre thing about the ghost ship is that the crew members either disappear or become ghosts and are bound to the ship forever.

But those ghost crew members don't have any consciousness and can't tell others... what happened to them, they just mechanically repeat the work they did during their lifetime on the ship forever.

The Ministry of Magic of various countries has also suspected that it was done by dark wizards, but all the ghost ships, except for the corrosion of sea water, basically have no serious damage to the hull...

If it was really a man-made attack, how could there be no trace of the attack at all, and even the inside of the ship remained as it was before the crew disappeared.

Therefore, the ghost ship is also called the ship of death, and it is the most unavoidable existence in navigation.

At this time, the ghost ship was getting closer and closer. Standing on the deck, Rove could see it more clearly.

The whole ship seems to have experienced the baptism of years, and has been severely corroded. The ship is also covered with various blue-green algae, green algae, barnacles and other adsorbents.

Rove's gaze moved up slowly, and he saw the empty deck, with some rusty iron chains and iron plates piled up messily on it.

The sailors of the Mayflower also spotted the ship, and they immediately issued a warning, urging the cockpit to turn immediately to avoid contact with it.

After staying at sea for a long time, the crew members are well aware of the horror of ghost ships.

But the ghost ship suddenly accelerated and rammed into it frantically.

Such a ship that is about to fall apart and unmanned does not know what kind of power it uses, but it can be so fast.

The Mayflower avoided it, and the railings on the decks of the two ships were tightly pressed together like upper and lower lips.

The iron figure of the Mayflower was instantly shattered when it was squeezed, making an ear-piercing friction sound.

Carlos appeared on the deck, staring at the ghost ship with a dazed expression, only feeling complicated and suffering.

After only a few days of departure, he encountered a complicated and dangerous situation that he had not encountered in the past few decades... He must have been cursed by the god of death, and he must have pulled the wrong wizard!

With a burst of shaking, passengers also came to the deck one after another, trying to see what happened.

As if attracted by life, many ghosts suddenly emerged from the empty deck of the ghost ship. Their dead white faces were covered with carrion and red hair, as if they had encountered something ominous.

The ghosts all maintained the appearance when they died, and it seemed that they had endured great torture before they died.

There were also two little witches, only about six or seven years old, their skirts clung tightly to their bodies, and their hair clung tightly to their dead white cheeks.

They were like girls in a choir, singing the rhyme from the deck:

Please listen and remember, the cruelty of death,

Old or young, brave or cowardly,

No one can escape the scythe of death,

His harvest defies any plea for mercy...

Captain Carlos took a breath, drew his wand, pointed to his throat and said, "Loud!"

Then, his words resounded like thunder throughout the Mayflower.

"Everyone is not allowed to board the ship!"

Needless to say, few wizards dared to board the ghost ship full of dead people and dead things with rotting sails.

At Carlos' command, a group of sailors raised their wands and cast their spells, attempting to cut open the point where the Mayflower and the ghost ship came into contact.

During a burst of friction, a deafening sound burst out from the surface of the ghost ship's hull, and a large amount of sea water flowed down the edge of the ghost ship like a waterfall, washing out the name etched on the side of the ship:

Parse Lope!

"Parcelope?" Furong read it softly, and asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"

"Parcelope is the eldest of the three mermaid siren sisters, and she fell in love with the ancient Greek wizard Odysseus." Rove explained:

"When Odysseus' ship left, Parselope also jumped into the sea from her island and chose to commit suicide."

Carlos, who was standing not far away, suddenly said, "I know this ship."

Both Rove and Fleur turned their heads to look at Carlos.

Gabriel jumped down from behind the boy and tried to stand on the railing, trying to observe the ghost ship up close.

Carlos stared at the name of the ship, and said in a low voice:

"I was only fifteen years old at the time, and I was working as an intern on a ship called the Golden Jackson with a boy named Kurga."

"One time during a voyage, Kurga was on a ship..." Carlos paused for a moment, then continued: "I got an ancient sea chart."

Rove noticed the change in his mood and asked keenly, "What ship?"

"Ghost ship!" Carlos sighed:

"When we were sailing, we also encountered a ghost ship. Several crew members made a bet who would dare to enter that ship."

"Kulga was young, energetic and bold, so he took the initiative to climb in, and finally came back safely." Carlos whispered:

"After returning, Kulga secretly told me that he found the ship empty, but the ship was intact and fully loaded.

On the table in the captain's cabin, he found an ancient sea chart laid out, which marked a mysterious island that was not on our map. "

Luo Fu suddenly remembered something, and he said in his heart, "Fountain of Good Luck?"

Carlos looked at Rove in surprise, nodded and said, "That's right, it's the island where the Fountain of Good Fortune was recorded in the story of the poet Beedle."

Rove raised his eyebrows, he thought of the twin-tailed mermaid Myssara that he met in the Black Lake, she was looking for this island.

"Kulga later bought a ship himself, and named it...Parcelope, that's the ship." Carlos continued:

"He also invited me to be his first mate and go to find the Fountain of Good Luck together, but I didn't believe in those legends, so I didn't agree."

"Since then, the Parcelope has disappeared without a trace." Carlos said sadly:

"I thought he had encountered pirates or a storm, but he turned into a ghost ship."

Luo Fu and Fu Rong looked at each other, especially the girl, with suspicion in their eyes.

Carlos shook his head and said, "I have to write to Mira, she will probably be very sad."

"Who is Mira?" Rove asked curiously.

"Kulga's wife..."

"Is Mira still waiting for her husband?" Fleur asked in surprise.

"Oh, that's not true." Carlos shook his head and said, "Mila married me in the second year after Kurga disappeared.

She was six months pregnant at the time, and someone had to take care of them, and I was Kurga's best brother, of course. "

"..."

After missing for more than half a year, did you take care of your good brother's widow to become pregnant?

Good for you!

"So, is there really a fountain of good luck?" Fu Rong asked suspiciously.

"Nonsense!" Carlos shook his head and said:

"Children believe such childish rumours. What a fountain of luck, it's all bullshit, nonsense, stupid rumors!"

"Don't try to find these things, the end of believing is death... The reason why those ships disappeared and turned into ghost ships is because they were cursed...the curse of death!"

Gabriel, who was standing on the railing, suddenly shouted, "Look, what is that?"

Rove looked up and found that behind the ghost ship was the keel of a fire dragon, and the keel was pulling a... coffin.

Kowloon... pulling the coffin? !
