Chapter 13 Ghost Ship
Hearing Gabrielle's nonsense, Fleur, who had been eavesdropping with her ears pricked up, looked blank at first, and then almost instinctively reached out to cover her sister's mouth.
"Rolf, don't listen to her nonsense, she... hasn't woken up yet!"
Luofu looked strange and said, "What is Gabrielle talking about? I don't understand. Otherwise, why don't you translate it for her?"
Fleur was a little embarrassed and annoyed, and glared at the boy who took advantage of her. Can she repeat what Gabrielle just said?
But Rolf really didn't understand. Gabrielle was speaking French. He only half understood it, but now he doesn't understand it even more... Hey, I will definitely buy a large English-French dictionary when I get off the ship!
Furong took a deep look at the young man and saw that he didn't look like he was lying. She breathed a sigh of relief and said in English:
"Gabri said...she had nightmares about you at night."
"..."
Luo Fe was speechless. Dreaming about him was a nightmare, right?
Not so shabby!
After finally fooling Luo Fu, Fleur gently pulled Gabriel's ear and raised her eyebrows and said, "What nonsense were you talking about just now?"
Seeing that her sister, who had always doted on her, had such a big reaction, Gabrielle became timid and spoke for the first time:
"Sister, I mean... I dreamed... I dreamed that you were calling Rolf's name."
"..."
Furong was almost stunned by the series of attributive words. After sorting out the order, she glared and said:
"Then why didn't you finish what you said and only said half of it? That would easily lead to misunderstandings."
"Rolf's French is not good, I'm afraid he won't understand." Gabrielle said in a considerate way, "I've omitted some irrelevant content."
That’s not an insignificant content, it’s obviously the most important content!
Fleur was so angry that her chest hurt. She took a deep breath and finally managed to hold back from beating her sister.
"Actually..." Gabrielle said weakly: "Sister, how do you know you don't talk in your sleep when you sleep?"
"I just know it!" Furong said angrily: "If you talk nonsense in the future, I won't help you translate."
Gabrielle curled her lips, if she doesn't want to help, she won't help... She has been secretly learning English recently so that she can get rid of her sister in the future... Hehe.
Luofu's eyes became more and more confused, because the two sisters seemed to be chatting in the Veela language, and he couldn't understand them even more.
It seems that the matter of raising and taming a Veela will also be put on the agenda.
Luofu ignored the two of them and quietly admired the sunrise over the sea.
I saw the sun rising slowly, and the sky seemed to have been deliberately rendered with a paintbrush. The morning glow on the horizon painted every wave of the ocean into roses with golden edges...
Rolf asked curiously: "Where are we now?"
"It's located near the Bay of Biscay." While arguing with Gabrielle, Fleur didn't forget to explain: "The Mayflower needs to dock at a nearby harbor."
"That's right." Luofu nodded lightly.
The Bay of Biscay is located in the northeastern part of the North Atlantic Ocean, bordering France to the east and Spain to the south... It seems that Carlos is preparing to repair the Mayflower here.
But it does need to be repaired. This place is still far away from the United States, and this little broken ship can no longer withstand the abuse.
Luo Fei was distracted for a moment, and Fleur stopped arguing with Gabrielle, and instead looked at the box in the young man's hand.
That night, she witnessed the boy open the box and the horse-shaped water monster came out of it.
Captain Carlos' theory was that the horse-shaped water monster was raised on the Mayflower and turned into a water mouse and hid in the box, but... Fleur was very skeptical of this statement.
She had seen Luo Fu many times, and the young man would carry this box with him almost every time, and he would never leave it.
Obviously, it's important!
Luo Fu came back to his senses and saw Furong staring at his box, laughing a little dumbly. He handed it over and said with a smile: "Since you are curious, why don't you open it and take a look?"
Fleur hesitated for a moment. The girl knew that this behavior was a bit rude, and her tutors had not allowed her to do such a thing since she was a child. However, curiosity still drove the girl, and she reached out and took the box.
Fleur opened it quickly and frowned. There were only some books and a change of laundry in the box...other than that, there were no other items.
"You don't think those two magical creatures are hidden in my box, do you?" Luofu smiled.
Full of suspicion, Fleur checked carefully and found no problem. She looked at the boy and said, "I'm overthinking, but are they really dead?"
"That's not true." Luofu admitted frankly: "The Kabulosaurus was under a spell... and its whole body was petrified. I put it in a safe place."
What magic can instantly petrify a Kabulosaurus?
Complex emotions flashed across Fleur's delicate face, including shock and confusion.
At first, when she met Rolf, she was just confused, wondering how he could make Madame Maxime praise her.
The night the Cabrosaurus attacked, she felt she had found the answer, and it was... courage.
But today, it seems that the girl can no longer see through Luo Fu. He is becoming more and more mysterious... Of course, it also aroused Fleur's endless curiosity.
"By the way, I checked the book in the past few days, and it said that Cabronosaurus is a very docile magical creature." Fleur said softly.
"That's right." Rolf nodded and said, "Since it attacked the wizard, it means there may be something wrong with the Mayflower."
"Isn't it possible that it was ordered by a wizard?" Fleur guessed.
"That Kabulosaurus is a wild magical creature and has not been raised by wizards." Luofu denied.
"how do you know?"
"You have to trust the judgment of a magizoologist." Rolf grinned.
"Didn't you say you were a healer before?" Furong frowned and said, "Why did you become a magizoologist again?"
"Magizoologists and healers don't conflict with each other, they even complement each other." Rolf said with a smile.
Just like a teacher with both virtue and art, not only does he have great skills, but also excellent acting skills... In this regard, Moudou is far behind, his acting is too awkward.
"Who do you think has problems?" Furong asked curiously.
"It's most likely the wizards in the first class cabin." Rolf thought for a while and said softly: "The first class wizards will not have their luggage checked when they enter the Mayflower."
"They may take advantage of this stop to get off the ship." Furong reminded.
"It's okay." Rolf said calmly: "I have already said hello to Captain Carlos. All wizards who want to disembark will have their luggage strictly checked, including the first-class cabin."
Furong was silent. She felt that Rolf was not like a thirteen-year-old boy at all. Instead, he was mature and thoughtful.
Gabrielle, who was lying on Rolf's back, suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "What is that?"
Rolf and Furong both looked up.
A huge thing was approaching the Mayflower through the morning mist. As it got closer and closer, its shape gradually became clearer.
It was a ship...but the hull had been completely corroded and rusted, and the frame was exposed, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.
Rolf frowned and said:
"Ghost ship."
