Chapter 788 Ghost Ship
Last summer, Rolf went to Tomes Nunnery to look for Shirley. He was surprised to find that Ravenclaw's tomb was also nearby, so he took the opportunity to explore Helena's... tomb.
In that thousand-year-old tomb, Rolf and Shirley not only saw the bodies of Ravenclaw and Helena, but also found a wooden coffin, a golden apple tree with Ravenclaw's face carved on it, and a mermaid statue. statue!
The mermaid statue and the giant statue in front of him are exactly the same except for the difference in size.
This feeling is like discovering the terracotta warriors and horses in the tomb of Qin Shihuang, thinking that they are unique things.
But I didn't expect to turn around and see the same terracotta warriors and horses somewhere else, even upgraded from figures to Gundams... It's hard not to be shocked!
Rolf originally thought that the mermaid statue that could enter the trancelike realm was a magical item made by Ravenclaw himself.
But looking at it now, it is more likely to be related to the island in front of me.
While the boy was thinking, Shirley narrowed her radiant eyes and said curiously:
"Rolf, is this the mirage you mentioned before?"
Luo Fu came back to his senses, looked at the looming island in mid-air, nodded slightly and said, "That's right."
There is no such thing as a floating island in the magical world, so the island and statue floating in mid-air in front of you are obviously a mirage.
But then again, as an optical phenomenon, mirage is the result of refraction of light in air layers with different densities along the straight line.
In other words, a mirage can be formed only after the physical object is refracted by light.
Therefore, the island and the statue must be real, they are just not in front of us.
So here’s the question… Which island has a continuous castle and a mermaid statue hundreds of meters high?
Luo Fu didn't know, but a mysterious intuition told him that the island in front of him was exactly what he had been thinking about:
Avalon.
…
…
A mirage appears in the sea. For many passengers, this is the first time they have seen it.
After receiving the news, many wizards came out of the cabin one after another, stood on the deck, and pointed at the sky excitedly.
But Captain Carlos, who had seen mirages many times, shrank uncharacteristically, a sense of awe and fear welling up in his heart.
He had seen the chart of Kurga and knew that the island with the good luck spring was in the North Sea!
Carlos didn't know if the island in front of him was it, but regardless of whether it was, just stay away from this place.
Carlos rushed towards the rudder and began to turn the ship, shouting at the same time to the sailors:
"Set sail...set sail!"
The sailors immediately obeyed the order, quickly released the cables, and lowered the three huge burgundy sails. The Mayflower immediately turned around, set off a wave of waves, and sailed in the opposite direction.
But I never thought that after traveling more than a hundred nautical miles, the mirage could still be seen, and even the distance from the Mayflower seemed to have not changed in any way.
This weird situation also convinced Rove that this was Avalon.
The young man was going to investigate, but he didn't plan to go in person. That would be too dangerous and inconsistent with his usual cautious style.
Luo Fei looked at Shirley, without saying anything, she had already understood it through years of tacit understanding.
The girl with the ponytail took out some food from her pocket, put it in the palm of her hand, and then raised it high into the sky.
A circling seagull flew over smoothly, pointing straight at the food.
When it fell into her hand, Shirley quickly caught the seagull and soothed it by stroking its feathers with her fingers.
Luofu pricked his finger with the dragon crystal dagger, and blood beads rolled down and soaked in the seagull's eyes. He waved his wand and began to recite a spell.
This magic is called "Shapeshifter" and comes from Voldemort. He used it back then to invade Quirrell's consciousness and control his actions.
It can control wizards, and naturally Rolf can also use it to control the actions of animals.
As long as he wishes, he can take on the form of any bird or beast, no matter what flies in the sky, swims in the water, or crawls on land, and then through their eyes, he can see things in the distance.
And his body will stay on the Mayflower. Even if something happens, Rove will be safe.
Luofu looked directly at the seagull with his blue, star-like eyes, letting his consciousness slowly invade.
He could clearly feel the fierce struggle, but that kind of resistance had no effect in the face of the powerful force, and the seagull was quickly overpowered.
When he opened his eyes again, Rove's field of vision had come to the seagull, while the main body closed his eyes as if falling asleep.
Shirley hugged the boy to prevent him from falling. Then she looked at the seagull and said softly:
"Rolph, I will help you protect your health. You should leave early and come back early."
Rolf jumped onto Shirley's shoulder, pecked at her clothes, and then skillfully controlled the seagull's body and flew towards the sky.
His wings, fed by the wind, carried him to high places. The sky suddenly opened up, and the world below became smaller and smaller.
Luo Fei flapped his wings and flew straight to the island in the sky.
As he slowly approached, he found a huge ship floating beneath the mirage.
The ship looked like a medium-sized cruise ship. The hull was already rusty and the surface was riddled with holes. A large iron anchor hung in front of the bow of the ship. The wind blew the anchor and rubbed against the hull, making a harsh sound. .
Luofu landed on the mast and found that the deck was already dilapidated, with a large number of dark blue mildew stains attached to the surface, and various tools were rotten and randomly discarded everywhere. It was as desolate as a garbage dump.
The ship was naturally empty, no sailors, no passengers, no life of any kind.
——Ghost ship!
This thought came to mind. He turned to look at the stern of the ship, but did not see the wooden coffin engraved with the symbol of the Deathly Hallows.
Apparently, this ship was not the ghost ship he encountered two years ago.
Rolf flapped his wings and flew into the captain's cabin, looking for something valuable.
But there is also a dilapidated scene here: cracked parchment maps, faded and old carpets, tattered yellow wooden tables and chairs, almost to the point of collapse...
A painting on the wall caught Rove's attention.
Throughout the room, everything was decayed, but it was the only thing left intact.
Rolf flew to the painting and saw a large sailing ship painted inside.
It has a black gold hull, and the bow looks like a lion raising its front paws. There are three masts on the ship, with huge square red sails pulled up from them.
Not far away, there was a huge wave coming, and the ship seemed to want to stay away from the huge wave.
Everything in the painting is moving, but it is not exactly the same as those portraits in Hogwarts. The colors in the painting are so real, so pure, and so lifelike.
It was as if Luo Fei was looking at a real world through glass.
The next second, the feathers on Luo Fu's head were blown by the wind, and this gust of wind blew from the painting.
Suddenly, there were sounds along with the wind - the sound of surging waves, the sound of waves hitting the side of the ship, and the sound of the ship creaking.
And there was the smell, the salty smell of the furious sea.
Finally, the three-masted ship was hit by a huge wave, bumping in the sea, and the hull turned over. Rove could clearly see the writing on the stern:
Mayflower.
