Vol 2 Chapter 503: Set sail (modified, sincere thanks to the lord Xiangsi is insignificant)

Although there were only ten students going to Durmstrang, the shore was full of little wizards who came to see off and watch the excitement.
The big black-brown wooden ship that is docked on the shore is full of air. Its huge arc-shaped is like a whale's raised tail, and the bow has a huge sloping mast. And it is equipped with several horizontal sails on the fore mast and the middle mast, and the rear mast is equipped with a jib, which looks full of momentum.
Seen from the side, the hull resembles a round U shape. When Allen and the others enter, they find that the deep hull can hold much more space than the visual can see. The hull's space and luxury are completely inferior. In the auditorium of Hogwarts Castle.
This big ship has multi-storey cabins. Except for the auditorium hall under the deck and the storage room on the bottom floor, the students’ rooms are arranged in the retro luxury stern building overlooking the surrounding scenery. The top floor of the is the captain's cabin and cockpit, rudder and other control equipment. Behind the cockpit is an observation deck, where you can observe the sea behind the ship.
The beard dressed in furs entangled enthusiastically led the little wizards to visit the big ship. His name is Bailey Cosby. When introducing the little wizards to the various rooms, his tone was full of ethics. The pride of Mstrong.
"You will definitely be worthy of this trip, because we are not going directly back to Durmstrang, but we are going to take you to visit the North Sea and watch the North Sea scenery." The smile on Cosby's dark face infected Hogwarts' little Wizards, they couldn't help but look forward to the next trip even more.
Allen turned the wand in his sleeve. He felt that Durmstrand's arrangement was not to return to school directly, but to sail in the North Sea in a detour.
But from the mind of Cosby, he learned that this route was not set by Cosby, and he only obeyed the arrangement of the superior and arranged the itinerary in accordance with the instructions of the superior.
Alan, who was inconvenient to search for everyone, could only turn his head and say a few words to Ramona, the wolf mother, and then entered the with everyone, and asked Draco to inform the students not to act alone.
Cosby held down the steering wheel, and Durmstrang's big ship slowly sank as he pressed it, and gradually sank to the bottom. The scenery at the bottom of the black lake was in front of the passengers. The curious mermaid hid behind the turquoise seaweed with a fork in his hand and peered at the behemoth, as if there was an invisible cover covering the big ship so that water could not enter the room. All of them were not wet, nor did they feel breathless.
The Black Lake did not merge into any rivers or oceans. After sliding for a while at the bottom of the lake, a huge circular ripple appeared not far from the bow. The ship drove into this ripple and was transported to a sea where there was no land around it. Durmstrang's big ship broke through the waves and galloped on the sparkling sea.
Suddenly flying over the table on the top deck, various delicacies prepared for the little wizards appeared. Cosby greeted everyone as he pleased, and he took the lead to sit down and eat at the sea while saying that he didn't need to be too formal.
And Ellen leaned against the side of the ship with Luna, probably because of the magic. They didn't feel the bumps at all, and a sudden burst of water splashed over the guardrail.
Luna looked at the endless sea, turned her head and asked Ellen: "Ellen, can you let Lacey out for a while and let it look at the sea."
Thinking of the purpose of going to Durmstrand this time, Allen felt that it was also suitable for high-profile, and his current position was not under the jurisdiction of any Ministry of Magic, it was regarded as the high seas of the wizarding world, so he nodded to Luna.
Luna picked up her waist bag, opened the eagle-shaped flap and pointed her mouth at the sea to release Lacey. It flapped its wings and flew high, sending out a dragon roar that had become deep and heavy. In the horrified eyes of other wizards, Circled around the big ship, flew in front of Luna, whose hair was constantly dancing because of the sea breeze, and passed between two high cables.
Cosby took a deep breath three times and stood up. He wrapped his arms, as if this would add courage to him, and took a step in Luna's direction.
Holding a glass of white wine, Vladimir touched his bald head, stopped Cosby, and grinned at him: "Don't worry, this dragon has a full set of legal breeding permits in the British dragon farm. , It’s not illegal to raise private dragons. Now this land belongs to the three-regardless zone. Let it fly freely. I promise I’ll ask Miss Lovegood to put it away before entering Durmstrang. Come on , Let us have a drink together."
Cosby looked at the crimson young dragon with smooth and gray lines. He shuddered and lost the courage to continue to ask questions. He sat down with Vladimir and gave a few words to the others. Let them not be nervous.
Alan, who perceives Cosby’s thoughts with her mind, smiled. Purebred dragons like Lacey are different from the fire dragons in the competition. If the ordinary fire dragons are frightening because of their aura and body shape, And the purebred dragon of Lacey itself has a unique ability called Longwei. Below a certain range, if there is no strong will, it will be frightened and trembled or even unable to act. Lacey is still too young. This ability has not yet been fully utilized.
At this time, Lacey, who flew high into the sky, plunged into the water. The next second, its tail swung slightly, with a big fish in its mouth, and went straight out of the water.
Lacey flapped her wings and flew to a position parallel to Luna's line of sight. With a light flick of her head, the fish flew above her head. Lacey raised her head, and a red flame sprayed out of her mouth and was grilled. The cooked fish just fell into its mouth when it fell.
He shook his head and held the grilled fish in his head, and flew towards Luna.
Luna shook her head and patted Lacey. She swallowed the fish by herself, then turned her head and flew high.
The figure in Lacey slowly disappeared from the eyes of the little wizards, turning into a small red dot on the blue sea following the big boat.
Those little wizards mixed with horror and envy finally returned to their normal emotional state, talking about the red dragon they just saw with lingering fear, and began to enjoy the food in front of them with peace of mind.
After Cosby finished eating the last piece of dill-cured salmon, he rubbed his mouth with a napkin, and then began to brag about the sea story he knew to a group of little wizards: "I will tell you the most bizarre thing I have ever heard. But you may not believe it."
He chuckled: "I don't even know, believe it or not. In the North Sea, there are many pirate ships, but one sunken pirate ship is exceptionally legendary. Although its captain is a dumb gun, He and his ship are both well-known in the Muggle and wizarding world."
Seeing that these little wizards were just listening attentively, and did not appear to be surprised, he said again: "The name of the sunken ship is called the'Black Pearl'. It was originally a subsidiary of the East India Trading Company in your British Muggle world. A trading ship in, the captain named Jack was ordered to transport a shipment from Africa. But Jack discovered that the so-called
goods
were actually African slaves. Out of a sense of justice, Jack released them all and worked in the Caribbean. Began to work as a pirate."
Cosby looked at the emotions of the little wizards finally being mobilized, and smiled satisfied: "It is said that this ship sank in the early eighteenth century," he said, "At the time, they were being chased by the undead. I drove from America to the North Sea, and finally died here with the undead."
He noticed that Allen and the blond girl with the dragon were also looking at him at this time. Cosby continued to speak: "For hundreds of years, Muggles and wizards have been searching for this pirate ship, because It is said that their captain Jack has found the legendary fountain of youth hidden in the Bimini Islands." He sipped a long sip of white wine: "Listen to the people in the school, the dark lord Geitler Grindelwald and this Captain Jack still has some kind of kinship."
"This is so cool!" Draco couldn't help himself with excitement.
At this moment, the hull shook suddenly and stopped, splashing Cosby's face with the remaining white wine in his hand.
"Captain, the bottom of the ship seems to have touched the rock, and we are stuck." A crew member on the observation deck shouted.
