And the continuing shock, confusion and despair! On the deck three men with deathly white faces could be seen. What they boarded was a ghost ship, and one with ghost sailors walking around at that. They vaguely thought it might not be a trip with all women but they could never imagine a disaster of this proportion.
“Excuse me, this isn’t the boat Maria’s that we got issued to is it? We just got issued to Bellotte’s ship.”
The ghost sailors laughed raucously and willingly answered Hye’s stuttered question.
“KYeekyekyekeye This is the ship Maria.”
“The curse, the disaster of the ocean, The ghost ship Maria! Hehehehehe”
“What are you talking abo … we’ve been cheated?”
As they were in a rush in making the contract there was a lot they didn’t ask.
“Umm, Where is the ship headed?”
“Khihihihi it’s going to the Las Phalanx region.”
“Las Phalanx? I think I’ve heard that name somewhere before…Oh, you cant be referring to that Las Phalanx?!”
Known to be a place where you have to sacrifice yourself just to get there, one of the 10 classified forbidden areas; Las Phalanx! As navigators, they had heard about it so they knew the name.
“Yes, we’re going to Las Phalanx. Are you scared? You’ll probably die and become like us? Hihhi.”
“Blessing! Blessing! Become a sailor and stay on this ship forever.”
Looking at the ghost crew Hye frowned. Nonetheless, as the voyage contract stated they could not cancel it until they fulfilled it. If they left without permission they couldn’t get any jobs at the harbor so the disadvantages were just too enormous, Fractal gave a small whisper.
“There’s no problem. We only need to kill the Captain.”
All they needed to do was kill the captain and grab the contract documents.
Then they would have no problems with the Navigation Guild of Becky’s oceans.
“Let’s just kill the captain like always and take the ship already.”
“ Though it’s an old antique... but we’ll still be able to get a so-so price for it.
Hye asked with hope.
“Where is the Captain of this ship?”
“huek huekhue, our Captain , scary Captain, is fishing.”
“Where?”
“Go towards the front.”
The three navigators pulled out their knives and moved with bold fronts. They were planning on slicing the captain and selling the boat straightaway. However, the moment the three men saw the captain their faces turned a ghastly white. With the body of a Lich consisting of a skeleton and skull, Weed was fishing.
