Chapter 178

The mysterious young crew member is still old Joey. Only in this way can all the mysteries be revealed. The colonel pondered for a moment and then accepted the proposal. He took a deep look at Remington and said, "In that case, please ask the captain to search those possible hiding places with me. I believe you must be well aware of all the hidden corners on the ship." As for Pastor Moriah, please stay here to help calm the passengers and watch for any suspicious signs. "Everyone followed the order and left, while Li Wen strolled alone on the ship. Sure enough, both Remington and Grant, the naval officer, behaved particularly strangely. Needless to say, Remington seemed to have determined that there was no Joseph among the crew. Furthermore, he did not even suspect that the pirate was on his ship now. As for Grant, it was even stranger. He mentioned that one of the pirate's abilities was an extremely powerful disguise ability. If the intelligence was true, Joseph could kill any crew member or The passengers then used their disguise ability to steal each other's identities. In this case, the colonel just sent someone to compare the lists one by one, trying to find out who was missing or missing on the ship. It is really hard to understand. The colonel looks young, but he can't be a mediocre commander in the kingdom's navy. How could he not be aware of this problem? Or is it possible that the so-called "Joseph Wilblood" is just a gimmick, and his real goal is something else? Chapter 188 Voyage Diary Li Wen first asked the sailor about Old Joey's room on the ship, and then walked towards the cabin. There were too many things happening on the ship, and it was necessary to sort out all the problems step by step. Old Joey's room was searched immediately. After the colonel and the captain finished searching, Li Wen quietly sneaked in. The small room was empty except for a few broken things. There was nothing else except the old clothes. Even if there were any clues left, they must have been taken away first. Among the many things that happened on the ship, Li Wen thought that the most strange thing was the "Sea Calling Curse". The first thing that can be determined is that the "Sea Calling Curse" was most likely arranged by the crew of the Adventurer. There is no other reason. Only the crew can freely enter and exit every place. A curse has been placed in the room, and judging from the rusty state of the nails, the curse has been there for a while. If you are a passenger, you probably can't arrange the curse in advance. Considering only the crew on this ship, the most suitable candidate is undoubtedly Old Joey. He is the oldest sailor on the ship, with the most rich sailing experience and the most knowledge. The "Sea Calling Curse" has long disappeared from history. Only old sailors like Old Joey who have experienced enough can have access to such things. But for what reason? This is what Li Wen doesn't understand the most. Thirty years ago, what happened on this ship caused all of Old Joey's former crew members to disappear. Now, for unknown reasons, Old Joey returned to this ship at all costs. As long as we can understand Old Joey's purpose, many problems can be solved. This is what Li Wen thinks. Li Wen's eyes slowly swept across the room again, not missing every corner. Although Old Joey's room was small, the atmosphere of oldness and coldness was extremely strong, as if even the air was solidified with the dust of the past. She thought to herself, if it is true. It was Old Joey who arranged the "Sea Calling Spell", and there must still be materials and tools needed for the curse in the room, as long as he was not stupid enough to put things out in the open. She sighed softly and decided to repeat her trick. Then Li Wen sang the incantation of the Poetry of Paradise in a low voice, and the invisible melody reverberated in the small room, and a warm and soft light gradually filled the air. . The gift of restraint was triggered, and all the magic power in the room was forcibly dispelled. However, except for the stale atmosphere, no other phenomena appeared. Li Wen frowned and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. No, her intuition told her that Old Joey would not give up like this. She looked at the room carefully again. At this moment, a drop of water suddenly fell on the tip of her nose, and she was startled by the cold feeling. She looked up and saw a trickle of water slowly seeping out from the corner of the ceiling, flowing down the cracks of the mottled boards. Old Joey's room was at the bottom of the cabin, with the cargo hold above her head. Logically speaking, there should be no water leaks here. She didn't see the ceiling leaking. Li Wen's heart moved, and she activated her witch state without hesitation. She floated up lightly like a feather until she was close to the leaking ceiling. With the faint light, she carefully observed every gap, and finally found a seemingly ordinary but unusual joint between the wooden boards. , the wooden board slid open silently, revealing a small compartment, and a box that was leaking fell straight down, and landed on Old Joey's bed without making any movement. The box was half a meter long and wide, made of extremely ordinary oak, and was light in weight. Li Wen opened it and saw that it was filled with strange-shaped shells and iron nails, and several rocks like rocks were leaking out. When she came out of the water, an old and yellowing navigation diary was pressed under the stone, and it was almost wet by the water. She quickly picked up the diary to prevent the clues from being further destroyed, and then checked the contents of the box. The shells and nails were naturally needed for the "Sea Calling Curse", which was not surprising. As for the rocks like rocks... This is a mineral called "deep sea rock", which is commonly found at the bottom of sea canyons. It is actually the undigested remains of some monster corpses after being eaten by some kind of sea worm. It is of great use in alchemy. If a certain amount of deep sea rock can be collected and piled together, it can form an effect similar to a magic blockade, blocking other people's magic. Reconnaissance. From this point of view, Old Joey probably has a good understanding of extraordinary power, but he probably did not expect that someone could directly break this magical blockade without noticing anything strange. Of course, Li Wen did not expect that this would happen. After being affected by the gift of restraint, Shen Shen Haiyan produced some unknown magical reaction, causing it to keep overflowing with salty sea water. Only in this way could she detect the anomaly. Li Wen finally looked at the voyage diary, which was undoubtedly the most important thing. Old Joey's voyage diary was half wet with water, but fortunately he was an old sailor and used waterproof ink when writing the voyage diary, so it didn't affect his reading now. July 15th. Sunny, southeasterly wind. On the 25th day, we sailed from Promi Port to the endless sea. In the morning, the sea surface was as calm as a mirror, and the ship's speed was measured to be 8 knots. The helmsman found the compass deviation after calibration. In the afternoon, the lookout shouted that we were very close to the destination. July 19th. Cloudy, with intermittent showers. At noon, the lookout saw the wreckage. In the evening, the captain poured a glass of wine for everyone. He would not be so generous before. On July 24, there was a storm. In the morning, the boatswain and the mate searched the seabed for a whole day, but found nothing. But how could it be possible?
