Chapter 350: Rove's Plan

The captain's office, which used to be quiet in the past, was extremely noisy today, with quarrels and shouts happening one after another.

Those voices came from the portraits on the wall. They were all the captains of the Mayflower, and they were arguing fiercely about how to deal with the current situation.

Captain Carlos ignored the chattering of the old captains. He poured himself a cup of cappuccino without drinking it, and just put it on the table.

And he was sitting quietly in an armchair, looking through the window, staring blankly at the island and the mermaid statue in the sky.

The old man suddenly remembered what the old captain Roger told him when he and Kurga were interns on the ship "Golden Jackson":

"In the Grand Line, storms, dangerous magical creatures, and pirates are not scary. The real big terror is...the unknown."

What is unknown?

Things beyond the dual understanding of science and magic!

Carlos looked at the mirage, which was like a maggot attached to a bone, and said to himself:

"This is probably the unknown, right?"

It's really scary!

At this time, the door banged and Carlos said roughly: "Come in."

Luo Fe pushed the door open and entered. The portrait of the captain on the wall immediately stopped arguing and turned to look at him.

Captain Carlos also looked at the boy. As if he saw the last straw, he stood up and asked impatiently:

"Rolf, did you bring the mirage on board?"

Luofu raised his eyebrows slightly and said in surprise:

"Mr. Carlos, the mirage is an endangered species in the Far East. It is illegal to travel with it across borders. Why do you think I would do such a thing?"

Rolf was indeed surprised. He upheld the ancestral motto of the Scamander family and the motto of Hufflepuff House. He had always been law-abiding, honest, and never engaged in illegal activities... There was no reason to doubt him.

Carlos looked at Rove with strange eyes.

Two years ago, when Cabrosaurus attacked the Mayflower, Roof pulled out a horse-shaped water monster from nowhere and fought it;

Last year, the Saint attacked the floating dragon ship, and he summoned a fire dragon from nowhere to prevent the ship from crashing...

You have been involved in every pornography crackdown, why do you still question you? !

Add in Rolf's grandfather - Newt Scamander - and that's even more heavyweight.

Decades ago, it was revealed that they were illegally carrying Thunderbirds and Winged Demons, destroying half of New York.

Later, he nearly destroyed Paris. He was restless for two years, and he brought his unicorn with him to cause a big fuss at the International Federation of Wizards Conference in Bhutan... His crimes were too numerous to list!

With such a buff, it's hard not to suspect that it was Luo Fu who brought a mirage with him, and then caused the mirage!

Of course, the words must not be so straightforward, Carlos said tactfully:

"I mean... have you found anyone suspected of carrying mirages?"

"Nothing has been found yet." Luof shook his head and said seriously: "Mr. Carlos, I didn't bring any mirage with me. This mirage really has nothing to do with me."

Carlos still trusted Rove. Since he said it had nothing to do with it, it really didn't matter.

The old man motioned for Luo Fu to sit down, and then said feebly: "Then you come to me, is there something urgent?"

"I just used magic to detect mirages from a distance." Luo Fu sat on a large carved oak armchair covered with red velvet and said softly:

"I found a ghost ship, heading towards the Mayflower."

"Ghost ship?" Carlos' expression suddenly changed: "The Palselope we encountered two years ago?!"

"It's not it." Rove denied. "What appeared this time was a new ghost ship, and I also saw a painting on that ship."

Luofu quickly explained the content of the painting.

Hearing the description that "the Mayflower will be sunk by huge waves", Carlos turned pale and was shocked.

No need to guess now, the mirage must be related to this ghost ship.

He has always believed that the ghost ship is an ominous thing, and any wizard who boards the ship will be cursed by the God of Death.

Two years ago, after encountering the ghost ship, Carlos was safe and sound for two years. He thought he was safe. Now it seems that the curse may be late, but it will certainly not be absent.

The old captains on the wall were also whispering to each other, and an even more intense quarrel broke out.

Carlos stared at Rolf and asked slowly: "Roff, do you think... that could be a prophecy?"

Luofu did not answer, but said seriously:

"Don't care if it's a prophecy or not, we have to be prepared to save ourselves now."

"Self-rescue?" Captain Carlos sat slumped in his chair.

"Rolf, we can't leave this sea area. No matter how the Mayflower sails, it can only circle around."

The old man picked up the mirror on the table again and said:

"I just used a double-sided mirror to connect with the outside world, but the mirror didn't work, and the old captains on the wall couldn't go to their other frames."

"We are trapped to death in the North Sea!"

Luofu fell silent. It seemed that the door key and the disappearing cabinet must have expired.

The situation was trickier than he imagined.

"Then we can't just sit back and wait for death, Mr. Carlos." Luofu said with sharp eyes: "Something must be done."

"Is there anything I can do?" Captain Carlos sighed deeply, picked up the cappuccino in the cup, took a big sip and said:

"Although the Mayflower is waterproof, if it encounters huge waves above level 7, it will not survive for long."

"I do have a plan," said Luo Fe, "but it's a bit bold and I need your support."

"What's the plan?" Carlos asked.

Rolf pointed upwards and said slowly:

"Hide in the sky, so that no matter how strong the wind and waves are, it can't affect us."

"In the sky? Do you mean using flying brooms?" Carlos murmured:

"But there are not so many flying brooms on the ship, and it is impossible to transfer all the passengers to the sky."

"No." Rolf held the table and said seriously: "I mean to let the entire Mayflower fly to the sky."

Carlos wanted to say that the Mayflower had no ability to fly, but he suddenly remembered something and froze in place.

Rove smiled and said:

"Are the magic horse, fire dragon and thunderbird enough for the Mayflower to take off?

If not, I still have rock thief dragons, bird snakes, air-winged birds..."

Carlos: "..."

He stared at Rove blankly and couldn't help but complain:

"You said you didn't illegally carry magical creatures, but any one of these is enough to sentence someone to Azkaban!"

Rove quickly left the captain's office. Shirley was waiting for him in the corridor with a box.

Nellie was there too. When she saw Rove, she unconsciously crossed her arms.

It seems that the forbidden spell that Rove accidentally cast on Nellie before - Grab x Dragon Claw Hand - caused her a lot of damage.

Shirley and Rove walked side by side and asked, "What's going on, Rove?"

"Captain Carlos has agreed to my suggestion." Rove said.

"That's good." Shirley nodded: "I just calculated that four magic horses plus a fire dragon are enough to pull up the Mayflower."

Nailishi followed Rolf and Shirley, listening to their conversation, and couldn't help but interrupt:

"But where can we find magic horses and fire dragons now?"

Shirley turned her head and smiled at her:

"Nailishi, haven't you heard a saying? Any Scamander is in urgent need, and magical animals will fly over."

Nailishi shook her head in confusion.

Rolf also laughed with the ponytail girl: "In short, don't worry about the problem of magical animals. For Scamander, that is the most insignificant problem."

Nailishi narrowed her eyes and looked at the mysterious Rolf and Shirley suspiciously.

The three of them quickly walked to the deck, and at this time, the sea suddenly began to fog up.

In the distance, the figure of the ghost ship finally appeared, and it was heading towards the Mayflower quickly.
