A Way to Find the Ghost Ship (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Everyone!)

The lobby of an unnamed Inn.

After talking until his throat was dry, Lorry picked up his light Beer and took a few sips. He looked around and said, "That's roughly the situation. What are your thoughts?"

Everyone turned to look at "Vice Admiral Iceberg".

The rare female Pirate Admiral rubbed her forehead with a slightly speechless look, her clear, light blue eyes gazing at the "Singer" Orpheus.

The second mate, like a student being called on, visibly showed nervousness.

He cleared his throat twice to buy time, and said slowly:

"Jodson's analysis makes a lot of sense. Based on the clues we have so far, the Ghost Ship must have some unknown purpose in using the Yamaha to collect blood."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Danitz, standing beside him, couldn't help but let out a sneer.

Turning his head, he glared at the other person with annoyance. In a flash, Orpheus, whose Brain had been racing ever since he was being stared at, suddenly had a brilliant idea:

"But since we have no way of knowing, why not skip this step?"

"Yes! We can skip this step!"

Without the following words, it wasn't so obvious, but now everyone can see that you weren't thinking... But it makes sense, facing countless studies and Exam every day, with "Vice Admiral Iceberg" overseeing everything, it's normal to want to slack off occasionally... Lorry chuckled inwardly, thinking to himself. Edwina exchanged a glance with him, her expression unchanged:

"Go on."

With his mind clearing up, Orpheus's speech became more coherent, and his pace gradually increased.

"Since the Ghost Ship releases Yamaha to collect blood, and we can't guess its purpose for the time being, let's just move on to the next step."

"Let's find a way to use these insects to locate the Ghost Ship."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Lorry: "For example, let Jodson try to use divination as a medium to locate the Ghost Ship."

Lorry shook his head and said:

"No, I've already tried divination, but it couldn't pinpoint the location."

There could be two reasons:

"First, the time since the Yamaha left the Ghost Ship has been too long, and the Mysticism connection has become quite weak, insufficient to serve as a medium for divination."

"Second, Ghost Ship possess the characteristics of ' Anti-Divination ' and 'anti-prophecy'."

"I personally lean towards the latter." Edwina nodded slightly, indicating that she shared the same view.

Orpheus shrugged and gave a dry laugh:

"Then I have nothing more to say; all I can think of right now is divination."

After saying that, he looked expectantly at "Vice Admiral Iceberg" until he saw the other nod, then secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to glance at Danitz beside him.

He knew the other person was next.

Sure enough, the "Vice Admiral Iceberg" spoke up quickly:

"Danitz."

"It really is the teacher taking attendance..." Lorry thought to himself quietly.

Danitz scoffed at Orpheus, who was expecting him to make a fool of himself, and straightened his back. "I have a way that we might try."

"Whatever the purpose of the Ghost Ship collecting blood, one thing is certain: it has the means to recycle these containers."

"We can use Yamaha as Bait, like fishing, to lure out the Ghost Ship."

After speaking, he slightly raised his chin, as if waiting for a teacher's praise. Edwina calmly countered:

Two questions.

"First, you need enough Bait to catch fish."

"This type of insect is almost extinct now, and we only have one alive left, which shouldn't be enough to lure out the Ghost Ship."

"Unless the problem of their numbers can be solved."

"Secondly, even with enough Bait, the Ghost Ship may not appear."

"Judging from its two appearances in recent years, I suspect that someone is manipulating it, or that it has the characteristic of being 'alive'."

"Otherwise, after the first disappearance of the Yamaha, it wouldn't have taken more than ten years to reappear, and the second time the interval was even longer."

"Later, it never appeared again."

This suggests that it likely possesses a certain degree of intelligence, effectively preventing ineffective actions.

Danitz grunted, looking somewhat bewildered, probably not expecting the questions to multiply as he answered.

He stammered, unable to speak, which made Orpheus chuckle inwardly. Seeing this, Edwina didn't press Danitz, but instead looked at Lorry with a shifty gaze. "Which possibility do you lean towards?"

"No, we're the same generation, why are you asking me this question..." He silently muttered to himself, then smiled and said, "The latter, I guess."

"If it's the former, we can simply sail the Ghost Ship away from this area and go somewhere no one knows about it."

"I believe this situation is likely due to the previous owner's orders or arrangements, which have forced this Ghost Ship to linger in the vicinity."

After speaking, Lorry paused briefly and then said:

"Or there's another possibility."

"There is a manipulator, and the Ghost Ship has the characteristic of being 'alive,' but the former is subject to certain limitations and cannot completely control the Ghost Ship."

Therefore, contradictory behavior occurs.

"They are extremely cautious in using the Yamaha to collect blood, yet they seem obsessed with leaving this sea area."

Based on the above speculation, I think it's difficult to elicit the Ghost Ship.

As he spoke, he saw Griffin, the "Folk of Rage," light up, as if he was about to speak. Just as he was surprised, he saw Griffin being stopped by a look from Mia, the "Beast Tamer," and looking sullen.

He looked away, his gaze meeting that of the "Vice Admiral Iceberg," who gave him a questioning look. He shook his head slightly, indicating he didn't know either. At that moment, Danitz asked, a hint of resentment in his voice:

"Do you have a better idea?"

Lorry glanced at him, smiled, and nodded, saying, "Indeed."

Danitz was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. "What method?"

at the same time.

Tarakha Island, within a small Manor where members of the Shadow of Order are hiding.

As the middle-aged man at the head of the long table finished speaking, Gatchi Lorry couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What, we don't need to pay attention to those people?"

"Yamaha can't locate that Ghost Ship?"

The middle-aged man in the black robe Mumulik, nodded and said:

That's right.

"Some adults have deciphered more notes and confirmed this: unless the Ghost Ship actively recall them, they simply cannot sense them." He smiled as he spoke.

"Furthermore, the so-called ' Yamaha ' is just the name given to the local indigenous people; their real names are Record in the journal."

"Blood-Devouring Worm."

"Blood-Devouring Worm..." Gatchi Lorry murmured, repeating himself in distress. "But if that's the case, all our efforts from the past few days will have been wasted."

How are we supposed to find that Ghost Ship?

Mumulik chuckled softly:

"This is indeed a difficult task for Sequence 5 like you and me, but it is quite an easy task for the elders."

"I remember you've already mastered the Law of Convergence?"

Gatchi Lorry paused, then hesitated, "You mean...?"

Mumulik answered without concealing anything:

"That's right, the elder in charge of analyzing the manuscript has confirmed that this Ghost Ship belongs to the Paths of the Divine controlled by the organization."

"Three days ago, my uncle successfully applied for the next Sealed Artifact formed by the ' Fallen Earl ' trait, and it will arrive in this sea area tomorrow night."
