Overgod Ascension - 670. Chapter 670

“Ghost… ghost ship!”

After the rain passed and the sky cleared, behind Victor and Wu Ming, the seamen and Vidi and others who followed saw the sailing boat, and they all screamed sharply.

“Put down the lifeboat, I want to go up and have a look!”

As an old seaman, Victor clearly felt the difference in this ghost ship. Under the sun, it looked like a dilapidated wooden ship. There was no longer the weird fluorescence and frightening in the storm. The trembling aura.

“Hurry up! Don’t be too slow!” He yelled, “As a sailor, it is very lucky to be able to explore the ghost ship in person!”

Obviously, the captain was very courageous, and even made the decision on his own despite the opposition of the crew.

“In that case, how about letting me accompany you?”

Wu Ming was next to him and smiled and put forward a suggestion: “I am also very interested in this kind of ship!”

“This… okay!”

After meeting Wu Ming’s unpredictable eyes, Victor hesitated, and immediately agreed.

“Steven, are you crazy?”

Alice stood on the deck, her face full of entanglement: “If something happens to you…”

“This is expedition! Do you understand expedition?”

To Wu Ming’s slight surprise, this guy Vidi put on a life jacket for himself and also got on a lifeboat: “The ghost ship on the sea, this incident will definitely become my life’s bragging capital!”

“Really…”

Wu Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head, knowing that the reason why Vidi dared to come down was probably because of himself, so he couldn’t help himself.

Although this guy is not very good in character and perseverance, he still has a bit of loyalty, so I might as well support him in the future.

“Well, the two of us, plus a few seamen are enough, Alice, can you take care of Angelina for me?”

Wu Ming stared at Alice’s eyes, making her unable to say rejection at all.

“Okay, okay! With my years of sailing experience, a ghost ship that can float in the sun is not too dangerous…”

Victor patted his palms, holding an oar with Wu Ming, and slowly approached the ghost ship.

The huge three-masted sailing ship stopped quietly on the surface of the sea, and the wooden planks all over it rotted with a stench.

“careful!”

The third mate on the yacht was about to grab a wooden board and flip it aboard. Suddenly, he only heard a’click’, the wooden board was pulled off by him, and the whole person fell into the sea in a daze.

The sea in the early morning was still very cold, and this guy was immediately rescued from the lifeboat with a trembling, apparently unable to participate in the subsequent exploration.

“Be careful, the wood of this sailing boat is very rotten…”

Victor held his pipe in his mouth and looked at the sailing boat with nostalgia: “I suspect that as long as a wave will cause it to fall apart, it is very rare to see such an old ship…”

Wu Ming carefully wrapped the flying claws around a mast that seemed solid, and Victor climbed up first.

“This floor… makes me feel guilty!”

Wu Ming immediately followed, and Vidi was the last one. He stepped on the deck of the three-masted sailboat with sweat on his face.

It has been in disrepair for a long time, and after being soaked in seawater, the plank has become very soft. Although it feels very comfortable to step on it, Wu Ming doubts whether he will stamp a hole in the deck directly under his force.

“Don’t worry too much, the keel of this ship is fairly strong…”

Victor looked at the ship carefully, with a hint of doubt on his face: “She is stronger than I thought, is it a bonus from the ghosts?”

Click!

Speaking of this, he didn’t hesitate anymore, opened the door directly and entered the cabin.

The gas searchlight glowed brightly, a foul smell came, and the floor was wet, and some seaweed and shellfish were even crawling, which was full of a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

“Guru! Guru!”

Victor opened the door of a room at random, and the entire door was shattered. Then, several white skeletons fell down, and the hollow skulls slid around on the ground, causing Vidy to scream.

“This should be the crew’s lounge. I don’t know what happened back then. Let them die here together, as if they didn’t even struggle at all…”

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

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

Peng!

The wooden door was directly split open, 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, load more goods, and have a separate cabin, which is definitely a proof of identity on the ship!

Victor’s venomous eyes immediately stared at the desk, and Wu Ming stood there, already pulling out a thick black logbook.

Obviously, this book has been well protected against moisture and moth. Even after an unknown period of time, it can barely be read.

“Log? The captain’s diary?”

Victor curled his lips and revealed a somewhat mocking smile: “Mr. Steven, do you think it is still the era of pirates, those captains will bury their private treasures on a deserted island and leave a map? ?”

After entering the age of industrialization, this inefficient method has long been abandoned.

The captains’ private wealth is either directly deposited in the bank and designated heirs, or they have been squandered long ago, or they have purchased value-preserving products such as stocks and funds. Where can there be anything left?

As for the more important private routes, after the great geographical discovery, even the map of the world was drawn. Perhaps a certain route described by the late captain was invaluable at the time, but it must be full now. Merchant ship!

He was somewhat interested in the captain’s treasure.

Although some luxury goods have decayed, gold and silverware will not rot.

“According to international practice, all discoveries on the high seas belong to the explorer… Steven and Mr. Vidi, you have participated in this expedition, and you can also allocate your share in it!”

Captain Victor ignored the face of the second officer next to him, smiling.

After estimating the value of these’heritage’, he gave up the idea of monopolizing, after all, there was not much valuable on this ghost ship, and it was not worth his risk.

When Wu Ming and others hired him, his appearance, name and ship were registered long ago. For such a small amount of wealth, he went to be a pirate? Especially to get into such a group of second generations who look very background?

After many years of life experience, Captain Victor immediately gave up this idea.

“We also have a share?!”

Vidi’s eyes lit up and he cheered.

He doesn’t care how much he can earn, just the thought of getting a’proof’ of a certain expedition from here, as a capital for bragging and collecting in the future, it is a matter of face.

“I am already very happy to be able to participate in this expedition, but I don’t ask for anything in return…”

Wu Ming smiled slightly, but the words he said changed Captain Victor’s face: “It’s just… why are these things being auctioned off? How about giving them away?”

“What do you mean?”

Victor hadn’t spoken yet, and the second mate with five big, thick, round waists jumped out and shouted.

“Did the captain recognize the origin of this ship?”

Wu Ming didn’t answer, but looked directly at Victor.

“If I’m not mistaken, this should be a slave ship that was very active at the time. Of course, as long as it sinks in the high seas, it becomes something without a master!”

Victor showed the extraordinary vision and quality of a captain.

“Indeed, this is a slave ship, and it is also the famous Hawker Seamount at the time!”

Wu Ming patted the logbook in his hand.

“The Hawke Seamount?! Hawke… The Hawke family!”

Victor let out an exclamation: “That big merchant group in the kingdom’s navigation and shipbuilding industry?!”

“Huh, even so, they dare to go beyond the law to make trouble?”

Vidi and the second officer both expressed this meaning, but Victor was silent.

“The most valuable thing here is some of the treasures in the captain’s room. The value is less than ten thousand gold dollars!”

The experience of the appraiser makes 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?”

“Yes! I am very interested in the ruins and treasures in the high seas, and I am preparing to form a salvage company! I was still hesitating about manpower and channels, but now, everything is solved!”

Wu Ming looked at Victor, “If you agree, I am willing to let you become my partner and inject 1 million gold in advance!”

“one million?”

The second officer exclaimed that the purchasing power of gold dollars in this era is very high. This is obviously an extremely astonishing wealth. Compared with this, the ghost ship is nothing at all.

“Ocean Salvage Company?”

Victor stroked his chin: “Do you have any insider information?”

He strongly suspected that Wu Ming had obtained a certain shipwreck map before paying attention. Otherwise, this kind of salvage company would basically be the same as hitting the Universiade, and most of it would lose money.

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

Of course, this must not be said at this time.

“I just believe that once we have the friendship and connections of the Hawk family, if Captain Victor is willing to join, our business will be a great success!”

Wu Ming increased his tone.

“This matter can be said after I go back…”

A hint of hesitation appeared on Victor’s face, and then he turned to a wry smile: “At this age, you can think of so much, I finally know why I have been a poor ghost all my life…”
