"What should we do now?" After a while, after everyone had recovered from the uncontrollable mood, the first mate walked to the old seagull and asked.

"Turn around, let's go over there and take a look, maybe we can find something!" Old Seagull was silent for a moment and ordered to everyone.

After hearing the order, although the crew members were a little reluctant, they still followed the old seagull's order, turned the ship's bow, raised the sail, and sailed towards the direction where the huge island fell.

Old Seagull's boat sailed very fast, and it didn't take much time to arrive near the sea area where the island fell. However, the sea surface was very calm, there was no abnormality at all, and nothing useful was found.

"Could those just be phantoms on the sea?" the first mate came up and asked doubtfully.

The old seagull shook his head and said, "Have you ever seen such a sea illusion?"

For people who travel at sea all year round, sea phantoms are not a rare thing. Almost every sailor can encounter them once or twice a year, but all the sea phantoms they see are very illusory, and they are never like what they just saw.

It's so real.

However, the reason why Old Seagull judged that the scene just now was not an illusion on the sea was not his past experience, but after he carefully recalled it, he was almost certain that the island he just saw falling from the sky was his trip.

The mysterious island of destination.

Judging from the scene just now, there must be something wrong with that mysterious island, so he wanted to know what happened there.

The old seagull, full of curiosity, walked to the rudder, signaled the helmsman to get out of the way, then turned the rudder in his hand and steered the ship toward the depths of the sea.

He didn't know what he was looking for when he sailed into this sea area, but he always had a feeling that he would find something here.

The ship sailed for about half an hour when suddenly the people on the observation deck shouted a few words and then pointed in one direction.

The old seagull immediately turned the rudder and steered the ship in the direction pointed by the lookout hand.

Not long after, I heard the sailor standing on the bow of the ship shouting loudly: "There is someone there, there is someone there."

Hearing the shout, Old Seagull handed the rudder to the helmsman beside him, quickly ran to the bow and looked forward.

I saw a person floating there on the sea in front, drifting with the waves, looking like a shipwrecked sailor. However, the sharp-eyed old seagull could easily identify that this person had not fallen into the water for a long time, and it was not that

A dead man who had fallen into the water for a long time and whose body had been swelled many times.

"Whether he is dead or alive, pick him up first." Old Seagull immediately gave a loud order to his men, and then looked at the man floating on the sea with doubt in his eyes. Although there was no basis for it, Old Seagull still had a feeling.

, I felt that the thing I was determined to search for in this sea area was this person.

"I feel something is wrong." The first mate stepped forward at this time, looked at the man approaching on the sea, and said cautiously.

"Why do you think so?" Old Seagull asked.

"He doesn't look like someone who fell into the water a long time ago, but rather like he fell into the water not long ago." The first mate's sea experience is no less than that of the old seagull, so he can easily see the situation of the person who fell into the water on the sea. "This area

The sea area is not on any route, and the ocean currents do not pass here. Even if you fall into the water on a nearby route, you cannot float here, and just now..." He paused for a moment, and then said again without finishing his words.

: "Anyway, this person appears strangely, we shouldn't catch him easily."

The old seagull did not use any other words to excuse the first mate, but asked calmly: "Have you forgotten the rules of us seamen?"

The first mate opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything and stepped back to do his own thing.

For everyone who makes a living at sea, encountering a shipwreck is bound to happen sooner or later. After encountering a disaster, they naturally hope that they can encounter a ship and receive rescue. No one wants to see a ship passing by.

They do not extend a helping hand to themselves. And those who have not been in a shipwreck are also worried about whether they will be rescued by passing ships if they are in a shipwreck.

Therefore, under the influence of this common worry, all people who make a living at sea will abide by an unwritten rule, that is, whenever they encounter people in shipwreck, they must spare no effort to rescue them.

Although this rule does not appear in the laws of any country, and no country recognizes the legality of this rule, the effect of this rule far exceeds any law in the world. It can be said that all people at sea will know it.

Comply, which also includes the navies of various countries.

The most famous story about this rule of unconditional rescue at sea is a naval battle between the Kingdom of Sigmar and the Kingdom of Inge. In that naval battle, a ship of the Kingdom of Inge sank an enemy ship, and then they followed the rules of sea rescue.

According to the rules, the Imperial Navy soldiers who fell into the water were rescued. No other warships around them attacked the warship. After being rescued, the navy of the Kingdom of Sigmar did not do anything to take the opportunity to seize the ship, but honestly

Really being a prisoner.

Ten minutes later, the ship of the Kingdom of England was also sunk. This time it was the ship of the Kingdom of Sigmar’s turn to rescue, and other warships stopped attacking the rescue warship.

In such a large sea battle involving five fleets, although the warships suffered huge losses, the casualties were very few, and none of them was drowned.

So when the old seagull said this rule, the first mate couldn't say anything more no matter how good the reason for worry was.

The sailors on the ship skillfully rescued the victim from the sea. Although they were not able to judge the victim's condition from a distance like the old seagull and the first mate, after rescuing the victim at close range, they

It can still be judged that the victim must have just fallen into the water, and it seems that he is still alive.

"Give way, give way, everyone, don't stand here stupidly, don't you want to do anything? Now go and move all the cargo back to the ballast bilge." The first mate came over, yelled a few words at everyone, and then

He walked to the victim's side, squatted down, reached out and touched the pulse on the victim's neck. After feeling the strong pulse transmitted by his fingers, he turned his head and nodded to the old seagull, and then stood up.

Asked: "What to do now?"

The old seagull did not answer immediately. He squatted down and searched the victims and found some scattered items. However, those items were just common items. There was nothing strange about them. Only a piece of ship ticket stumps aroused his interest.

Notice.

He picked up the scrap of the ticket and looked at it, with a look of surprise on his face, and he even couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"What's wrong? Boss." the first mate asked.

"Look." Old Seagull handed the stub of the ticket in his hand to the first mate.

The first mate took the ticket and looked at it, and immediately showed a surprised look, and couldn't help but ask: "Is he a passenger on the Queen Mary that disappeared half a year ago?"

"It should be." Old Seagull nodded, then he stood up and ordered to the men next to him: "Move him to the guest room. When he wakes up, we will know what happened on the Queen Mary.

"Then, he quickly walked to the rudder and shouted to the sailors on the deck: "Pull up the sails, let's return."

"Oh!" After hearing the order, all the sailors immediately became very energetic. They cheered and rushed to their posts to busy themselves with their own things.

The large sailboat with full sails was driven by the wind and drew quickly on the water. To the sailors on the ship, the swaying hull was like standing on flat ground. They balanced their bodies and sang loudly.

Sailor's song.

The old seagull standing next to the rudder looked at these enthusiastic sailors with a rare smile on his face, but at the same time he also showed a trace of sadness, because he knew that this kind of sailboat would soon disappear from the sea, and

The final destination of these sailors may be the boiler rooms on those steam ships.

In fact, a long time ago, when he saw the steamship, he knew that the era of sailboats was coming to an end, but he still retained a passion for sailboats and wanted to take advantage of the sailboats before they completely withdrew from the stage of history.

Then enjoy the fun of driving a sailboat on the sea.

However, he never expected that steamships would come so fiercely and quickly. In just a few years, steamships had become the mainstream of maritime vessels. In the past six months, with the emergence of steamships with increasing carrying capacity,

Sailboats are rarely seen on the sea anymore.

Seeing this scene, Old Seagull felt tired of sailing for the first time. In fact, there was one thing he did not tell his men. He planned to stop going to sea after completing the order for this medical school, and

He would sell the ship, and the money from the sale would be given to his men who had been with him for many years on the ship to settle down, and he would also use the relationships he had established in the past to introduce them to some reliable jobs.

And he himself may return to his home in Sigma, stay in his study, and write a book about his maritime experiences over the years. After all, he still holds the title of a best-selling author, even if he has only written a book for so many years.

Just a book.

Time soon entered night. The old seagull handed the things to the first mate and turned around to return to his captain's cabin and write down what he saw and heard today in the captain's log. Only when he touched the door of the captain's cabin.

, stopped again, turned around and walked outside the cabin of the lower cabin.

The old seagull pushed open the cabin door, walked in, familiarly picked up the lamp stuck next to the cabin door, lit it, lifted it up, and illuminated the cabin.

I saw the victim who was rescued during the day lying quietly on the bed, breathing heavily and continuously, and seemed to have no problem.

The old seagull stared at the other person, frowning, and feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

In fact, he also had the concerns raised by the first mate. Even now, he still felt that the victim was strange, and even had the urge to throw the victim back into the sea.

"Who are you?" the old seagull said to himself.

I don’t know why Old Seagull thinks this person should be from that mysterious island. He fell into the water because the mysterious island was destroyed.

In fact, Old Seagull has a secret about the mysterious island that he has never told anyone because he knows that there are people living on that mysterious island.

According to common sense, it is not a big deal that there are people living on an island. He should not need to hide it for so many years, but the problem is what if the people living there may be dead people?

Old Seagull still remembers what happened when he accidentally discovered the mysterious island and led his men into the depths of the island in search of useful resources. At that time, he and his men were attacked by inexplicable creatures and they had to flee in all directions.

, he finally got separated from his men, and after passing through a huge dense forest, he came to a beach.

The scene of that beach is still deeply engraved in his memory, because there are countless famous ships in the world of Velen piled up on that beach, and these ships, without exception, have been proven to have suffered shipwrecks and sunk to the bottom of the sea.

But now the wreckage of these ships is piled up on this beach, which makes people feel extremely weird after seeing it.

What was even weirder was what happened later that night. He saw ghosts that night, which made him know that the world was not as simple as he thought in the past, and he also saw traces of human habitation near that beach.

After leaving there, the old seagull swore that he would never approach this mysterious island again, but what he didn't expect was that an extinct ancient badger would climb onto his boat without his knowledge, and what finally happened

A series of things happened later, which caused a lot of pressure from the world to fall on him, but he had to land on the mysterious island again.

In fact, when I saw the mysterious island falling from the sky during the day and disintegrating and disappearing when it was about to hit the sea, Old Seagull was very happy in his heart, because so many people would definitely spread the word when they saw the mysterious island disappearing.

He no longer has to face pressure from all sides and go to the mysterious island to capture ancient badgers.

But now the sudden appearance of the victims of the Queen Mary made him feel that this might be another trouble, because the disappearance of the Queen Mary half a year ago was a very special event in the Kingdom of England, the French Empire and surrounding countries.

As a result, various countries sent many fleets to search around the route of the Queen Mary, but in the end they found nothing.

There are rumors that the reason why various countries attach so much importance to the Queen Mary is because there is something very important to both the Kingdom of England and the Empire of France on the Queen Mary. All countries attach great importance to an ordinary passenger and cargo ship like the Queen Mary.

Only dual-purpose ships attach so much importance.

Although half a year has passed, the search fleets from various countries have long been disbanded, and the outside world seems to have lost interest in the Queen Mary, but this is all based on the fact that there is no news about the Queen Mary. If a Mary

If the news of the appearance of the surviving passengers of the Queen spreads, it will inevitably trigger the craze of half a year ago again, and the old seagull who is very familiar with that sea area will definitely not be able to escape the result of being recruited by various countries.
