Chapter 125 [Certificate of the Salary King] The restlessness!


    【Human...】


    ??This is a low and mature female voice, as if it has experienced the baptism of a long time, bringing with it an unspeakable vicissitude and exhaustion.


    Hearing this sound, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a jump in his heart, and looked up at the ghost ship not far away.


    It’s the [Diamond Star]! ?


    ?This ship also has its own ship soul?


    Thinking about it, such an unmanned ship with obvious extraordinary qualities may have developed its own consciousness someday in the past.


    At this moment, Xia En suddenly remembered something.


    ?His talent [Communication with Ship Soul], but he never said that he could only communicate with [Black Swan]!


    Theoretically, as long as it is a ship with a soul, I can communicate with it!


    ??Xia En''s heart was pounding and he responded cautiously.


    “Senior?”


    【Why...close to...】


    There was not much hostility in the voice of [Diamond Star], it just seemed a bit slow and cold.


    Hearing this, Xia En relaxed a lot and continued.


    “We are being hunted by the enemy, so we want to use the power of our predecessors to temporarily avoid disaster.”


    “Can you please let us stay with our seniors for a while? We will leave later.”


    ?Shaan did not hide anything about this ghost ship that was far more powerful than himself, but chose to be honest with him.


    【Randomly...】


    After leaving these words, the [Diamond Star] regained consciousness and continued to move steadily and slowly in the fog.


    Xia En breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously: "Thank you, senior!"


    ?He felt a little emotional in his heart. Although this ghost ship had a cold personality, it did not harvest the souls of the living indiscriminately like some legends said.


    【Master, this sister looks so amazing! 】


    At this time, Xiao Hei''s voice sounded in my heart.


    Xia En’s mouth twitched. How could you tell she was a sister?


    ?But then again, the ship soul is actually genderless, but many captains and sailors like to think of the ship as their wife or mother.


    Cognition itself has mystery and power.


    Hence, the ship spirit usually appears in the form of a woman.


    [Black Swan] calls [Diamond Star] sister, there is actually no problem.


    【Master, can I say a few words to her? 】


    “…huh?”


    Xia En was a little surprised by Xiao Hei''s idea and asked, "Why?"


    【I don''t know either…】


    ?Xiao Hei’s voice was a little confused: [I just feel... I seem to have seen this sister somewhere? 】


    Xia En''s heart moved, and he quickly thought of some remaining memories of the original owner.


    Before the original owner got on the ship, the original owner''s father seemed to have experienced a terrible shipwreck.


    That trip to sea cost him the loss of five crew members, and the Black Swan was also seriously damaged.


    But when asked about the cause of the shipwreck, the original owner''s father remained silent and only mentioned the heavy fog.


    Could it be said that before the soul of the ship "Black Swan" was born, it had a relationship with the "Diamond Star"?


    ?However, there is not much point in dwelling on these past events.


    After thinking for a moment, Xia En agreed to Xiao Hei''s request.


    ??They are both ship spirits, maybe they have something in common?


    On the other hand, it never hurts to have a good relationship with this ghost ship.


    “Woo…”


    Soon, the [Black Swan] blew its whistle, and the sails of the [Diamond Star] roared, and the sea wind and fog conveyed their secret words.


    ??Taking this time, Shane began to examine the status of the [Black Swan] and the crew.


    【Durability: 34/100】


    The durability dropped below 40, which is enough to show that [Black Swan] is actually on the verge of falling apart.


    ??The craters on the deck are slowly healing themselves, and the sails with several holes in them no longer look like they used to.


    Steam turbines that have used the [Overload] feature have also fallen into temporary hibernation.


    ?The crew members were also a little disheartened.


    ??Feiya is treating Joey and An''s injuries.


    ?Since Xia En traveled through time, this was the first time he encountered such a dangerous crisis.


    But no matter what, they survived!


    ?What doesn’t kill them is destined to make them stronger.


    “Duke Nova…”


    ?Xia En took a deep breath, and suppressed, lava-like anger surged in his heart.


    “Today’s revenge will be repaid twice as much next time we meet!”


    ??Although we are trapped in a thick white fog and the road ahead is bleak, the morale of the crew is not low.


    Bronze Dragon String Song hummed twice: "I thought that ship was so powerful!"


    “In the end, there’s still nothing we can do!”


    “Then who was so frightened that he hid in the cabin and didn’t dare to come out?”


    ??Joy glanced at it angrily: "If it hadn''t been for Mr. Captain this time, we might all have died at sea."


    Xian Ge opened his eyes wide and said harshly: "Don''t, don''t talk nonsense, what I call tactical concealment!" Everyone laughed immediately, and the deck was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.


    At this time, An raised the cardboard and wrote.


    Speaking of which, Captain, where should we go next? 】


    After reading this line of text clearly, Xia En touched his chin.


    He can feel that the [Black Swan] is still under the influence of the [Blood Sacrifice Curse], and even if the power of the curse fades, there will still be some mark-like substances remaining.


    Obviously, the [Blood Duke]’s pursuit of this ship is not over yet.


    ?This strange fog can hinder perception and secret power to a certain extent, and it can be called a natural barrier.


    On the other hand, once you leave the fog, you will be noticed by Duke Nova, triggering a new round of pursuit.


    ?So, what Shane has to do is very simple—


    Before leaving the fog, improve the strength of yourself and the Black Swan to a point where they can compete with the [Blood Duke]!


    Sounds a little difficult.


    But with the existence of [Submarine Anchor], even in the foggy sea, Xia En can still continue to spawn monsters and upgrade.


    ??And don’t forget, there are hidden treasures hidden in this fog!


    The legendary [Siren Islands] are also hidden here.


    Since you are here, how can you not go and find out?


    ?But before that, the [Black Swan] needs to rest and replenish the supplies on board.


    —After leaving Silver Moon Island, Xia En and his party had no chance to supply supplies.


    Although the existence of the space ring has greatly increased the reserves of fresh water and food, the increase in crew members has also accelerated their consumption.


    While Xia En was thinking.


    ?Xiao Hei''s voice suddenly sounded again.


    Master, my sister and I have finished talking. She said she is willing to take us to the nearest island. 】


    Hearing this, Xia En’s eyes lit up.


    ??Is there such an unexpected surprise?


    It was difficult to discern the direction in the fog, so Xia En could only rely on [Siren Scale] to determine the course.


    But now that the Diamond Star is willing to lead the way, it will undoubtedly save a lot of time.


    “Xiao Hei, well done!”


    【hey-hey…】


    【Actually, this sister doesn''t seem to be that difficult to communicate with, she''s just a little...scared of life? 】


    …?”


    Xia En raised his head and looked at the majestic ghost ship beside him. The blue flames exuded a terrifying and dangerous atmosphere, as if it could burn everything.


    He couldn''t associate the word "fear of strangers" with the other person.


    …


    …


    Not long.


    ?Under the leadership of the [Diamond Star], the [Black Swan] dragged its dilapidated body forward slowly.


    Gradually, the outline of an isolated island appeared in the hazy fog.


    When they were brought not far from the isolated island, a long horn sounded from the [Diamond Star], as if bidding farewell to the [Black Swan].


    Subsequently, its course deflected and headed in the other direction of the fog.


    ?Shaan stood on the bow of the boat and waved goodbye to it.


    “Thank you! Senior!”


    I don’t know if it was Xia En’s misunderstanding. After he shouted loudly, the [Diamond Star] left a little faster. It felt like... running away?


    ?Shane is in a weird mood.


    This is... shy?


    Is it true that what Xiao Hei said about "being afraid of life"?


    ?However, looking at the ghost ship gradually being swallowed up by the fog, Xia En actually had a bold idea in his mind.


    In previous sailing games, players could bind a second or even a third ship after their level reached a certain level.


    ??If one day, he can get the recognition of this ghost ship and be bound to it.


    ?At that time, how high will your attributes soar?


    In human terms, this is the body of Xia Enchan [Diamond Star]!


    ?However, this goal is obviously still far away.


    It will never be achieved in the short term.


    “[Diamond Star], I look forward to meeting you next time.”


    After muttering to himself, Xia En dismissed the distracting thoughts in his mind and looked back at the isolated island in the sea not far away.


    Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and looked down.


    I saw the dark red mark on the back of my right hand emerging, and it continued to emit a burning sensation.


    ?Xia En was shaken, and a flash of disbelief flashed in his eyes.


    This is…


    The agitation of [Salary King’s Certificate]!
