Chapter 18: Ghost Ship Mural

"Creaky!"

Three minutes later, the door of the cabin was pushed open, making a long and harsh sound. Google Search Reading

It was dark inside.

I couldn't see the specific things clearly.

Sizzle!

The sound of burning flames rang out.

Kahn lit a kerosene lamp he had brought before, and the weak flame illuminated some areas in front.

"Follow me closely." Kahn took the kerosene lamp and walked into the dark cabin first.

Kors followed closely. He had now dispersed all his perception of the power of the dead to prevent those dead knights from appearing again.

After entering the cabin, what came into view was a huge corridor.

On both sides were standard rooms.

There were only some rotten furniture in the room, and it was already empty. The corners were full of spider webs, and it was obvious that it had been a long time since it was opened.

As for valuable items.

If you don't search carefully, it's hard to find where they were hidden by their former owners.

Kahn and Coles didn't go to these rooms to find anything. They came to solve the problem of the ghost ship, not to hunt for treasure.

The two continued to move forward.

Because the sea breeze could freely enter and exit from the broken windows, there were always various slight whirring sounds in the cabin. Combined with the dark environment, the ship was filled with an unknown and strange atmosphere.

After passing through the corridor, they immediately walked to the restaurant.

And here.

They also met the enemy again.

Four dead knights wearing black worn-out armor were standing quietly at the door of the restaurant, like guards.

After Kahn and Coles appeared, the four dead knights attacked directly.

"I'll take care of it."

Kahn had no intention of delaying. After handing the kerosene lamp to Coles, he quickly met the four dead knights.

Coles stared without blinking.

Although Major Kahn had shown some sword skills before, he didn't know what Major Kahn's true strength was.

The four dead knights held their swords tightly in their hands and launched precise and fatal attacks together.

The figure of Kahn charging was approaching.

The metallic sound of the long sword being unsheathed was particularly obvious in the silent cabin.

"Flame Sparrow!"

Then, Coles saw Major Kahn's figure suddenly accelerate, passing the four Death Knights like lightning.

And in the darkness.

A flame knife light suddenly appeared!

Under this powerful flame slash, the armor of the four Death Knights was directly shattered.

After easily ending the battle, Kahn slowly put the famous sword Embers into the black scabbard.

Coles was shocked.

It was an instant kill!

You know, the strength of each Death Knight is not weak. Even if he summoned shadow soldiers, he could only stalemate with these Death Knights with the fruit ability...

But Major Kahn only used one knife to kill these four Death Knights?

This should be far beyond the level of the major-level navy, right?

Kahn slowly turned his head, and his slightly handsome face showed a smile.

"How about my knife?"

Coles praised sincerely.

"So cool!"

Then, Coles came to Kahn and asked, "Major, how did you make that fire slash? Can you teach me?"

As for this fire slash.

Coles really wanted to learn it.

There was no other reason, just because the swordsman who knew the fire slash move was very handsome.

In response to Coles's question, Kahn explained in an orderly manner:

"The main factor of the fire slash I just performed was the embers of this famous sword. This long sword was made of rare and special materials..."

"Of course, there are ways for swordsmen to cut out fire, but your current swordsmanship is still at the level of basic swordsmanship. If you want to learn fire slash, you must at least reach the level of cutting iron first."

Hearing this, Coles was a little disappointed.

In this world, except for some abilities, fire cannot appear out of thin air, just like the devil wind leg of Sanji, the chef of the Straw Hat Pirates, which is said to ignite the heat by generating high temperature through high-speed rotation...

As for cutting iron!

This is a huge dividing line for swordsmen. For those who have entered this realm, swordsmanship can already cut through hard steel.

Coles is still far from being able to cut iron, and he cannot learn the flame slash for the time being.

However, he suddenly noticed the key point in Kahn's words: "Major, so you have already entered the realm of cutting iron?"

Kahn did not mean to hide it: "Well, I entered the realm of cutting iron a few years ago."

...

Not long after, Kahn and Coles came to the end of this deck.

During this period, they passed the meeting area and activity area of ​​the ship and encountered six new death knights, but they were all easily dealt with by Kahn.

There was no useful information left on this deck, let alone solving the secret of the ghost ship. Now they have two choices.

First, explore upwards.

Second, explore downwards.

"Generally speaking, the lower deck of the hull is used to store food and place idle items. Let's go up." Kahn talked about his experience as a naval lieutenant.

However, Coles expressed a different opinion: "Major, I feel that there is a very powerful undead force up there. Let's explore the lower deck first."

He wasn't lying, because after entering the cabin, he had clearly sensed the powerful undead power above his head.

Compared with it, the Death Knight is not on the same level at all. It is obvious that the upper deck contains very powerful dangers.

After listening to Coles' words.

Kahn nodded after thinking.

"Okay, let's go to the lower deck first and see if we can find the reason for the ghost ship from below."

Kahn held a kerosene lamp and led Coles down the stairs to the lower deck step by step.

After arriving at the lower deck, an extremely long passage appeared in front of them.

The passage is silent and deep.

It seems like there is a huge secret hidden.

Kahn held a kerosene lamp and moved forward step by step, with a faint light illuminating the road ahead.

"Major, there are paintings on this wall!"

With his extraordinary eyesight, Coles discovered the differences in the surrounding passages.

After hearing this, Kahn also carried a kerosene lamp to the wall of the passage. Under the light of the flames, the murals carved on the wall could indeed be seen.

It was carved purely by hand on the wooden wall. Even though it had been a long time, the picture above could still be seen clearly.

Bah, bah, bah!

Kahn used a fire stick to light some oil lamps on the wall.

In the originally dark passage.

It becomes brighter instantly!

As the light illuminated the entire passage, they could also see clearly all the murals carved on both sides.

However, Coles was not very good at interpreting such murals, and he could only read some of the patterns.

For example, the first carving is of a starry sky and moon, the fourth carving is of an armored man holding a sword, and the ninth carving is an altar pattern...

Fortunately, Major Kahn was involved in this kind of knowledge. After observing carefully for a while, he understood the general meaning of these murals.

Coles asked curiously: "Major, what are these murals about?"

Kahn digested the information he just learned, and finally thought about the words: "The history of the ship, or the history of a country."

Coles was a little confused.

Why should a country’s history be carved on a ghost ship?

Kahn combined the information he interpreted from the murals with some information he knew:

"More than a hundred years ago, there was an island called Moon Island in the Great Channel. That island was famous for producing rare silver mines, and the country on the island, Silver Moon Country, became rich because of it.

But this also led to this country being targeted by a group of pirates and robbers...

Because of its weak defense, this small country with only tens of thousands of people was destroyed by pirates in that confrontation and completely disappeared from history.

Among them, the most well-known is a story about a famous sword. "

Coles said in surprise: "Famous sword?"

Kahn looked at the ninth deputy's mural with a sigh on his face.

"To be more precise, it's a demon sword!"
