No, their target was not Planck, but something in him.

that book.

Planck realized this, gritted his teeth, and immediately threw the book out of his arms.

Sure enough, that book was like something with a fatal attraction to the ghosts. They no longer missed Planck, but rushed towards the book like crazy. In an instant, Planck The shadow of the book will never be seen again.

The ghosts dissipated like a low tide, and Planck fell on the first place. He quickly raised his gun and looked ahead, but there was no trace of Luo Shark in the room in front of him.

"Fuck!" Plank kicked the bed and rushed to the deck immediately.

He was holding the necklace on his neck. This was the holy silver pendant he bought with a lot of money. Planck dared to come near Shadow Island without preparations. This holy silver pendant has mysterious magic to exorcise evil spirits. Planck's soul was not devoured.

However, this thing is very expensive, and Planck only equips a small number of elite crew members, and the rest will have no luck.

The ghosts have left cleanly, and it seems that there is nothing on Planck's fleet that can attract them. The black fog is smoldering quietly ahead, and it seems that nothing has happened.

However, there are still many dead crew members left on the deck. They were affected by misfortune. The ghosts of Shadow Island will harvest the souls of all living beings, but they will not take away their bodies. Although these fallen crew members are still ruddy, some They were even breathing, but Planck knew they were dead.

"Fuck you." Planck roughly estimated that this time he lost at least hundreds of crew members, which is quite a lot of money, but the Planck family has a big business, so it's not very distressed.

What he really cares about is the book.

"That book is 100% the secret treasure of [Iron Armor Wraith]! Luo Shark is the thief!" Plank looked at the black mist in front of him, "This is great, I will never get it back..."

But fortunately, Planck did not bring the secret treasure of [The Ruined King] this time. His main purpose of going out to sea this time was to kill Luo Shark. ] is just an accident.

"Is Shark Luo devoured by the ghost? No, the ghost is only interested in the soul, but the body of the shark is not on the ship." Planck saw the crew members who were still alive climb up, and immediately ordered them all to come on the Horror. , the other boats were lost, and they were left with only enough people to sail one boat back to Bilgewater.

Planck carefully searched the Dread again, but still found no trace of Luo Shark.

"He probably ran away... Now he's back to the mountains..." Planck was in a bad mood, "How could those **** ghosts suddenly attack us! Is it because of that book?"

Planck was doomed to have no answers, and now he just wanted to return to Bilgewater.

"Doom..." Planck sneered, "You really found a good fiancé..."

...

Lothar opened his eyes in a frenzy.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he was in front of a gray-black gloomy sky, and a thick black mist enveloped the whole world.

Lothar got up from the ground and found that he was no longer on the boat, but on a coast, surrounded by pitch blackness.

A cluster of dragon flames ignited in Lothar's hands, and the flames instantly illuminated the surroundings, and at the same time, there were many screams.

The light of the dragon flame illuminated countless mourning grimace, who had been entrenched beside Lothar, the expressions on their faces extremely painful.

"I was brought to the island by them." Lothar wanted to recall what happened, but the last scene in his memory was only that countless ghosts devoured him.

Lothar checked his body and found nothing, and the hole Planck had shot in his head had fully recovered.

"I'm fine, but how do I get out of here?" Lothar looked at the ghosts around him. They all locked their eyes on Lothar, as if they were extremely afraid of the flames in his hands. Can scare away many ghosts.

But they still surrounded Lothar, keeping a distance of more than ten yards, refusing to leave him.

"Is this the Shadow Island?" Lothar got a headache. He walked a little, but he didn't see other people who were brought ashore, and there was no boat on the shore. Lothar was equivalent to being completely trapped here.

"Get rid of these annoying things first." The dragon flame in Lothar's hand soared, turning into a thick and long giant sword and waving it around.

The ghosts screamed and scattered, not daring to touch a little spark of Long Yan.

Just when Lothar thought he had driven the ghosts away, they returned when the dragon flames pushed back, and they were about to follow Lothar to the death.

"Is this a ghost? It's so lingering..." Lothar tried again and again, but in the end it didn't work. He had never faced such a thing before, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Since he couldn't get rid of these ghosts, and the ghosts didn't attack him, Lothar didn't bother to care. He carefully surveyed the coast where he woke up, and said gloomily: "Where is my bag... I won't take it again. The pure white hunting bow has been lost..."

Lothar had just finished talking to himself, and the ghosts surrounding him suddenly became restless, and Lothar immediately prepared magic.

But the ghosts still didn't attack Lothar, they just rested for a while, and a path was opened between the ghosts.

"Is this... let me go that way?" Lothar raised an eyebrow.

Seeing that Lothar was slow to move, the ghosts roared anxiously one by one.

"Okay, okay! Stop being noisy!" I don't know how many thousands of ghosts screamed together, and the noise made Lothar's head almost explode.

As soon as Lothar's words came out, the ghosts really quieted down.

"What's the matter?" Lothar looked at the ghosts, their faces were too distorted to see their emotions.

But the dream dust in Lothar's heart moved. Although the emotions revealed by each ghost were very weak, the gathering of so many ghosts still made Lothar feel some emotions.

They are courting Lothar.

Like puppies wagging their tails hoping to beg for food in their master's hands, these hideous-looking ghosts seem to want to beg for something in Lothar's hands.

"But I have nothing to give you..." Lothar hasn't fully believed in these extremely scary-looking ghosts, but he doesn't seem to have anything else to do now.

Lothar hesitated for a while, but walked into the path that the ghost guided him.

After walking for about ten minutes, the road was gone, and the front of Lothar was blocked by the ghost again.

But Lothar saw that in the sand on the ground, there was a white stick that was half exposed.

"Pure white hunting bow!" Lothar picked up the hunting bow in surprise, it was indeed his hunting bow.

Lothar's expression became complicated, and these ghosts were actually helping him.

"But why did they bring me to this island?" Lothar stared at the ghosts, but they couldn't speak, only groaned meaninglessly.

"Hello!" A voice suddenly came from behind Lothar.

Looking at Lothar Brick, it was a little girl who had just reached Lothar's waist. She was quite cute, with long hair and a black dress. She looked harmless to humans and animals.

If her skin wasn't a ghostly green, Lothar might really think she was an ordinary little girl.

"Hello, little brother." The little girl greeted Lothar with a sweet smile on her face and spoke a very strange language.

Bilgewater is a port city that has only emerged for decades. The languages ​​in circulation are basically from Noxus or Shurima, but the Blue Flame Islands where Bilgewater is located does have aborigines, and in They are a lot more than Hong Kong. They have their own native language, which is somewhat similar to the language spoken by the little girl.

Lothar learned a little while gathering intelligence in Bilgewater, and barely understood what the little girl was saying.

"Little brother" Lothar looked at the little girl vigilantly, no matter how she looked at this girl, she was younger than him, "Who are you?"

"Who am I?" The little girl bit her finger and thought for a while, "I don't know, I forgot my name a long time ago, Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie!"

The little girl's laughter was as unpleasant as a fingernail scratching a board. Lothar looked at the ghosts around. Those ghosts were obviously afraid of the little girl, and few even dared to look at her.

"Where is this place?" Seeing that the little girl didn't attack him, Lothar simply communicated with her first, at least she could speak.

The little girl said a word, but Lothar did not understand.

Lothar communicated with the little girl with difficulty, and the little girl seemed to see that Lothar didn't quite understand what she was saying, and she stretched out her little hand.

Lothar took a step back, he didn't want the mysterious little girl to touch him.

But the little girl's ghostly body suddenly disappeared.

Lothar felt a cold little hand grab onto his right hand, and he was pulled hard.

Lothar stumbled and nearly fell, but he stood firm.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie! Little brother so you can understand me, right?" It was the little girl who was holding Lothar's hand, she gave an unpleasant smile and said to Lothar.

Lothar was just about to say something, but suddenly saw that his arm had also turned a dark green at some point.

"This..." Lothar looked at his whole body in surprise, and every part of his body became as lifeless as the little girl and the ghosts.

Lothar looked back at the place where he was standing. His body was holding a pure white hunting bow and fell to the ground as if it had lost its support. "I... my soul is out of body"

The little girl's words suddenly became very easy to understand, and Losar could understand every sentence: "Big brother, welcome back to Fuguang Island."

"Isn't Fuguang Island a Shadow Island? And why is it back..." Losar said in surprise, but his question hadn't been answered yet, and another thing caught his attention.

those ghosts.

The ghosts kept groaning in pain. Lothar originally thought it was a meaningless wailing, but after the soul came out of the body, Lothar could hear what they were saying.

"Lothar...Lothar..."

They were calling Lothar's name.

Lothar...Lothar...he's back...

chapter 423. unfinished business

Syndra pulled the Leviathan away from Bilgewater and parked in the waters planned with Miss Fortune.

"Miss Syndra, I really think something happened to Mr. Lothar!" Nami grabbed Syndra's wrist.

Da Ya stared at Nami in a stunned manner. Just now, the flying of the Leviathan had caused a huge psychological impact on her. Now she saw a mermaid that only existed in the stories she heard when she was a child. What's that little blue guy, he's even sitting on the back of a dragon shark playing on his head.

Da Ya has pinched her thighs dozens of times, making sure that she is not dreaming.

"Are all the companions of Luo Shark this kind of monster?" Da Ya is very glad that she didn't really provoke Luo Sha before.

Unlike Daya, who was terrified, Olaf's eyes were shining. After Syndra showed the terrifying magical ability, Olaf seemed to see a delicious prey.

He felt that Syndra might have the ability to kill him, but Olaf was very distressed. Syndra was Lothar's woman. As Lothar's brother, it seemed that he should not challenge Syndra.

No one paid attention to the berserker who was in trouble. Everyone, including Fizz, was looking at Syndra, waiting for her to make a decision.

"Are you sure?" Syndra looked into Nami's eyes, "Is something wrong with him?"

Nami nodded: "I trust my instincts, and I was attacked by a being at the villa, I don't think it's a coincidence."

Syndra did not hesitate a bit: "Okay, I believe you, let's go, which direction is he in?"

Nami raised the Tidecaller's staff, the tip of which pointed to the southeast.

"Then let's go!" Syndra ran the magic again, and the huge Leviathan got out of the water again.

"Wait!" Taya hurriedly said, "Where are you going? Shouldn't we leave the boat here and go back to Bilgewater first?"

Nami looked at Daya apologetically: "I'm sorry, this lady, but we are in a hurry and can't go back now."

Da Ya was about to vomit blood: "Then don't take me with you! I want to go back!"

"We won't turn around." Syndra said coldly, "I want to go back and jump down by myself."

How could Da Ya jump off the boat? This place is dozens of nautical miles from Bilgewater. Da Ya believes that her water is good, but it is impossible to swim back.

Da Ya wanted to cry but had no tears, but now she is really on the pirate ship, and Miss Fortune is not here, no one can save her.

"Why are you crying?" Fitz asked curiously, jumping up beside Daya, "Are your eyes too tired?"

"Why am I so unlucky..." Da Ya found that once she had a relationship with the man Luo Sha, it would be bad. At first, she was taken advantage of by that guy, and now she can't even go home, "Captain... I hope I can come back alive..."

Nami stood beside Syndra and looked towards the southeast with her: "Miss Syndra, the existence that attacked me at the villa used a very strange magic, so be careful to save Mr. Lothar this time."

"Who is that!" Syndra looked back at Daya, "Come here!"

"I have a name... My name is Da Ya..." Da Ya didn't dare to speak loudly to Syndra. This female mage has such a bad personality, but she is still so strong. Da Ya didn't want to die because she contradicted her. , "Then... what are you looking for?"

"What's in that direction?" Syndra pointed forward.

"Don't you know what's there? Go there..." Da Ya muttered.

She took out the compass from her pocket, and her expression changed after determining the direction: "That direction... is Shadow Island!"

"Shadow Island" Syndra and Nami looked at each other, neither of them had heard of that place.

"Shadow Island!" Olaf suddenly became energetic when he heard the name, "Okay, okay! Shadow Island! Let's go there!"

Da Ya's mouth was bitter: "Mom, I may never go back..."

...

Planck stared at the man in front of him.

In front of him was a bearded man who was the steward of the Hook Gang's pier, to whom Planck entrusted most of the pier's affairs.

Planck picked up an orange and slowly peeled it with a machete: "You mean, Lao Tzu's Leviathan flew out of the dock by itself"

The bearded man was trembling all over, and he knelt down all of a sudden: "Captain! I really can't blame me for this! The Leviathan really flew out by itself! The brothers all over the dock saw it with their own eyes! We want to stop it. Can't stop it!"

Planck stood up and walked over to the bearded man.

"Please...please...don't kill me..." the bearded man pleaded.

"Calm down." Plank patted the bearded man's face. "There is no way for this kind of thing to happen. I will investigate further. If you did not make a mistake, there is no need for me to kill you."
