Chapter 258 Ghost Ship
Hearing Gabriel's nonsense, Fleur, who had been pricking up her ears to eavesdrop, had a blank expression at first, and then almost instinctively stretched out her hand to cover her sister's mouth.
"Rove, don't listen to her nonsense, she...hasn't woken up yet!"
Rove asked with a strange expression: "What is Gabriel talking about? I don't understand, or you can translate for her?"
Fu Rong was a little shy and annoyed, and glared at the boy who took advantage of her. Can she repeat what Gabriel said just now?
But Rove really didn't understand. Gabriel spoke French, which he half-understood, and this will make him even more incomprehensible... Oh, I must buy an English-French dictionary when I get off the boat!
Fu Rong took a deep look at the boy, seeing that he didn't look like a liar, so she took a breath and said in English:
"Gabrielle said... she had nightmares about you at night."
"..."
Rove was speechless, dreaming about him was a nightmare, right?
Not so shabby!
At least she managed to fool Rove, Fu Rong gently grabbed Gabrielle's ears, and raised her brows, "What nonsense were you just talking about?"
Seeing that her sister who always doted on her reacted so strongly, Gabriel spoke timidly for the first time:
"Sister, I mean... I dreamed... I dreamed that you were calling Rove's name in a dream."
"..."
Furong was almost dizzy by a series of attributives. After sorting out the order, she stared and said:
"Then why don't you finish what you've said, only half of it? It's easy to cause misunderstandings that way."
"Rove's French is not good, I'm afraid he won't understand." Gabriel said in an "understanding" way: "I just omitted some irrelevant parts."
That is not an irrelevant content, it is obviously the most important content!
Fu Rong was so angry that her chest hurt, she took a deep breath, and managed to hold back, not to beat her sister.
"Actually..." Gabriel said weakly, "Sister, how do you know that you don't talk in your sleep?"
"I just know!" Fu Rong said angrily, "If you talk nonsense in the future, I won't translate for you."
Gabriel curled her lips, if she doesn't help, she won't help... She is secretly learning English recently, so she will be able to get rid of her sister in the future... Hehe.
Rove's eyes became more and more confused, because the two sisters were chattering there, and it seemed that they were speaking Veela's language, and he couldn't understand it even more.
It seems that raising and domesticating a Veela is also on the agenda.
Rove ignored the two of them, quietly enjoying the sunrise over the sea.
I saw the sun rising slowly, and the sky looked as if it had been intentionally rendered by a paintbrush. The morning glow in the sky depicted every wave in the ocean as roses inlaid with golden rims...
Rove asked curiously, "Where are we now?"
"It's close to the Bay of Biscay." While arguing with Gabriel, Furong explained, "The Mayflower needs to dock at a nearby harbor."
"That's right." Rove nodded lightly.
The Bay of Biscay is located in the northeast of the North Atlantic Ocean, with France to the east and Spain to the south... It seems that Carlos is planning to repair the Mayflower here.
But it does need to be repaired. This place is still far from the United States. This small broken ship can no longer stand the toss.
Luo Fu was distracted for a moment, and Fu Rong stopped arguing with Gabriel, but looked at the box in the boy's hand.
That night, she witnessed the boy opening the box, and the horse-shaped water monster came out of it.
Captain Carlos said that the horse-shaped water monster was kept by the Mayflower and turned into a water mouse and hid in the box, but... Fu Rong doubted this statement.
She had met Rove many times, and the boy would carry this box with him almost every time, and he never left it.
Obviously, it matters!
Luo Fu came back to his senses and saw that Fu Rong was staring at his box all the time. He couldn't help but smile a little. He handed it over and said with a smile, "If you're curious, why don't you open it?"
Furong hesitated for a while. The girl knew that this kind of behavior was a little disrespectful, and her tutor since she was a child did not allow her to do such a thing, but curiosity still drove the girl, and she reached out and took the box.
Fu Rong opened it quickly, and frowned quickly. There were only some books and a change of laundry in the box... Other than that, there were no more items.
"You don't think those two magical creatures are hidden in my box, do you?" Rove smiled.
Full of suspicion, Fu Rong checked carefully, but found no problem. She sized up the boy and said, "I'm overthinking, but are they really dead?"
"That's not true." Rove admitted frankly: "The Kabulo dragon was hit by a spell... its whole body was petrified, and I put it in a safe place."
What kind of magic can instantly petrify a Cabro dragon?
Complex emotions flashed across Furong's delicate face, including shock and doubt.
At first, when she saw Rove, she was just puzzled, wondering how he could make Mrs. Maxim full of praise.
The night the cabro dragon attacked, she thought she had found the answer, and it was...courage.
But looking at it today, the girl felt that she couldn't see through Rove again, and he became more and more mysterious... Of course, it also aroused Fu Rong's boundless curiosity.
"By the way, I checked the book these days, and it said that the Kabulo dragon is a very docile magical creature." Furong said softly.
"That's right." Rove nodded and said, "Since it attacked the wizard, it means that there may be something wrong with the Mayflower."
"Isn't it possible that it was ordered by the wizard?" Fu Rong guessed.
"That Kabulo dragon is a wild magical creature, not raised by a wizard." Rove denied.
"how do you know?"
"You have to trust the judgment of a magizoologist." Rove grinned.
"Didn't you say you were a healer before?" Fu Rong frowned and said, "Why did you become a magizoologist again?"
"Magizoologists and healers don't conflict, they even complement each other." Rove said with a smile.
It's like a teacher who is both virtuous and artistic, not only means that he has excellent skills, but also has excellent acting skills... In this regard, Mou Dou is far behind, and his acting skills are too embarrassing.
"Which people do you think have problems?" Fu Rong asked curiously.
"It's most likely a first-class wizard." Rove thought for a while, then said softly, "First-class wizards are not allowed to check their luggage when they enter the Mayflower."
"They may take advantage of this opportunity to disembark." Furong reminded.
"It doesn't matter." Rove said calmly: "I have already greeted Captain Carlos. All wizards who are going to disembark will strictly check their luggage, including the first-class cabin."
Fu Rong fell silent. She felt that Luo Fu was not at all like a thirteen-year-old boy. Instead, he was mature and thoughtful.
Gabriel, who was lying on Rove's back, suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "What is that?"
Both Rove and Fleur looked up.
Something huge was approaching the Mayflower through the morning mist. As it got closer, the shape gradually became clearer.
It was a ship... but the hull was completely corroded, rusty, and the frame was exposed, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.
Rove frowned and said:
"Ghost ship."
