"Besides that, the ship could dive to the bottom of the Sea, move freely in the Sea, sometimes it would stir up tsunamis, affect the weather, create lightning, and even tornadoes."
The Boatswain took over Ken's words and continued to add, "Sometimes, it would also emit beautiful singing, like the song of a Mermaid, which would affect people's minds, making them dazed, or fearful, or irritable, and even lose their sanity."
"Furthermore, it seemed impossible to destroy, to truly kill. Rumor has it that a hundred years ago, it was pursued by high-sequence powerhouses on the Sea and suffered some damage, thus falling silent for a period. But when it reappeared, it was restored to its original state."
"It becomes particularly terrifying at dusk. During that time, it can cause living and even non-living things to rapidly decay, rot, wither, and head towards death. And all the undead killed by it will be forever imprisoned on that ship, unable to be released even after a hundred or a thousand years."
"When needed, it can release that undead army. Once, it used this undead army to destroy a Sea base heavily guarded by troops in less than half a day. Then, those dead Soldiers and Admirals also became part of that army."
"This is Celeste, a cursed ship, a devil of the Sea. Just discussing it requires enough courage!"
Lex exclaimed, "This is truly incredible. There's actually such a dangerous ship on the Sea."
Ken Angus blew out a puff of smoke: "That ship should be a type of sealed artifact like the 'Black Emperor', but its status might be above the 'Black Emperor'."
"After all, the 'Black Emperor' has a Captain, while the last Captain of 'Celeste' dates back two or three hundred years ago."
After glancing at Lex, the Boatswain chuckled twice: "There are many more legends on the Sea, such as giant octopuses that can corrode many people by spitting out juice, and Sea monsters that can overturn a ship with a gentle bump."
"There are also Mermaids whose singing enthralls people, making them unwilling to leave; blue Dragons that can create lightning; and large birds whose flapping wings can stir up hurricanes. Some of these legends are true, some are false, and some are just boasts from drunken pirates."
"However, Celeste is definitely real. For hundreds of years, rumors about it have constantly circulated. I just don't know where the ultimate destination of this ship, which is always searching for a 'Captain', truly lies."
"Perhaps, it will continue to sail like this forever, until the end of time, or until the Apocalypse descends."
Because of the legend of 'Celeste', Lex still had no sleep after returning to his room.
A sealed artifact-level ship, capable of freely sailing underwater, capable of stirring up tsunamis, creating lightning and tornadoes, it even sings!
Besides that, Celeste is difficult to destroy, capable of self-repair, and can bring death at dusk, and it imprisons an undead army!
If he could become its Captain, that would certainly be a very prestigious thing, but unfortunately, the last Captain was two or three hundred years ago, so it is clearly not a simple matter to be recognized by 'Celeste'.
But thinking about it isn't illegal, people always need some ideals, for example, setting a small goal for themselves, like becoming the Captain of 'Celeste', making the Four Kings of the Sea into Five Kings, I think that's pretty good.
I wonder if the 'Mystical Book' can strengthen 'Celeste'. However, for such a powerful sealed artifact, wouldn't strengthening it require a five-figure number of dimensional crystals?
Can't do it, can't do it. I can't even gather a thousand right now.
Based on my experience reading books in my previous life, if a book hasn't reached 100,000 total subscriptions more than a month after being put on shelves, the author of this book is definitely a flop.
How unlucky.
If I were a character in some great god's book, I would already be fully equipped with divine gear and crushing everything. Why would I be so miserable, even having to be stingy when strengthening items?
His thoughts soared freely, and before he knew it, Lex finally fell into a dream.
The next day.
Immediately after breakfast, Lex and Quincy were summoned to the Captain's Cabin.
The two met outside the Captain's Cabin. Quincy snorted through his nostrils, then raised his hand to knock on the door.
"Come in."
After receiving Ken's response, they entered the room and saw the Captain looking at a letter.
"Captain, you called for us?" Lex looked towards the letter, but unfortunately saw nothing, not knowing what was written on it.
Ken put down the letter and nodded, "We received news that one of the pirate ships serving the 'Blood Admiral' will recently appear on Windmill Island. They seem to be on orders to search for something, and the higher-ups hope we can figure this out."
"Around one in the afternoon, we will arrive at Windmill Island. At that time, I hope you two go ashore as merchants to inquire about the pirates' news."
"We will search the waters near Windmill Island to see if we can encounter that pirate ship."
Ken opened a drawer and took out a document: "These are the personnel details of that pirate ship. Take a look."
Quincy didn't take it, but stood ramrod straight and said, "Captain, I request to complete this mission alone."
"I refuse."
As if he had expected Quincy to say this, Ken said directly without even thinking.
Lex, however, paid no attention, took the document, and began to read it, memorizing the important figures on the pirate ship, including their names and appearances. At the same time, he thought that among the Sea Islands Osweld wanted him to investigate, Windmill Island was one of them. This was a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.
One o'clock in the afternoon.
Lex stood at the bow of the ship and saw their destination for this trip; a Sea Island appeared in Lex's field of vision. On that Sea Island, the most eye-catching features were the white windmills, which was also the origin of Windmill Island's name.
The Wavebreaker did not enter Windmill Island, even though it had a dock, it could not accommodate a ship the size of a three-masted sailboat. So the Sailors lowered a small boat, put a few barrels of wine used to conceal their identities onto the boat, and then Lex and Quincy rowed away.
After seeing the two off, the Wavebreaker turned around and left. Ken Angus and Lex agreed to meet again three days later.
On the Sea, as the dock approached, the many fishing boats moored there, and the people on board, all looked towards Lex and Quincy.
Quincy rowed the boat and said, "Let's be clear, I don't plan to act with you. So once we're ashore, we'll go our separate ways and just meet at the dock in three days."
"I have no objections." Lex strongly agreed with his decision and felt that going ashore with Quincy was truly excellent. If he were with others, he would have to consider how to avoid attracting his companions' attention while quietly investigating the local beliefs.
In a flash, the dock arrived. The two rowed the boat to the shore, Quincy jumped ashore, pulled the mooring rope, and tied it to the bollard. Suddenly, a foot stepped down, landing on the rope.
