Could this fog have been created by a myth-level artifact?\" Cassiopeia asked in surprise as she looked around with her bright eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Phantom Eyes was her special ability. They could see things ordinary people couldn’t—piercing illusions, seeing the flow of magic within a person’s body, and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Activating them consumed a considerable amount of power, which was why she rarely used them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Draco chuckled softly and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re overthinking it. If this fog was really created by a mythical artifact, many powerful mages would be targeting this ship. But there are no such rumors, so your assumption is completely unfounded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Loid’s previous account, the ghost ship ended up here because of a Celestial Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By planting a magic flag at its usual location, the mage caused the ship to move from the open ocean to the waters surrounding the Great Velmora Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, that mage would have taken the artifact that created this fog if it were truly mythical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, the person did not do so. Therefore, Cassiopeia’s assumption was definitely wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What you said makes sense.\" Cassiopeia nodded. \"By the way, don’t you find it strange?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes narrowed suspiciously. \"This ghost ship is incredibly calm and also... quiet. I don’t sense any monsters, magic traps, or anything like that within thirty meters. Could this ship really be a dead ship?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She believed the monsters that should have attacked the ship they were on would be hiding on this ghost ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as it turned out, the monsters were nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was extremely odd and didn’t make sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Draco also noticed the ship’s silence and gradually grew alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe the monsters are inside the ship?\" Draco guessed hesitantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassiopeia fell silent, pondering his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bell rang again. Since they were both on the ghost ship, the sound was unnervingly clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A bell? Draco, let’s check where the sound is coming from!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since the first chime, she had been curious about its origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it could be a clue to uncover the truth behind the ghost ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But strangely, Draco didn’t respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassiopeia turned her head and froze. Draco, who should have been walking beside her, had suddenly vanished!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Draco!? Where are you? This isn’t funny!\" Cassiopeia shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She scanned her surroundings with her Phantom Eyes, but he was nowhere to be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\" Her eyes widened in horror. \"What exactly is going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it! Why did I suddenly appear here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a room measuring seven by seven meters, Draco looked around in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a moment ago, he had been walking with Cassiopeia. But suddenly, he was transported here the instant the bell rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t even had time to react, which made him even more wary of this ghost ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could that sound have transported me? But how? I’m a Celestial Mage—it’s impossible for something like this to happen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, no matter how much he denied it, it had indeed happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no choice but to accept it and figure out a way to escape this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the ship’s crew changing room?\" he wondered silently as he scanned the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wooden lockers lined the right wall—about ten in total—but they were all rotten, and three were even broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange mushrooms grew along the walls, and Draco felt his nose twitch, as if something in the air had entered his nostrils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shoving aside his unease, he shifted his gaze to the door ahead and stepped toward it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nolan, look! I found a top-quality magic sword! If we sell it, we’ll be rich!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh! This spear is great too! It’ll definitely fetch a high price!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this one too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the room full of weapons, Sharon eagerly picked up swords, spears, bows, and all sorts of other arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time she had seen such high-quality weapons just lying around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although some were damaged and unusable, most were still in excellent condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan merely chuckled and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re too money-minded, Sister. But you’re right—all these weapons are very valuable. If we sell them all, I’m sure you could get five hundred thousand Sharn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that amount, Sharon’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t obsessed with money, but life still required it, didn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she would take it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, she placed all the usable weapons into her magic storage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan didn’t stop her. To him, five hundred thousand Sharn was meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing that excited him was the thrill of searching for valuable items—nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s keep looking, Sister. I’m sure we can find another treasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um!\" Sharon nodded repeatedly as she slowly stood up. \"In that case—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could finish, a bell suddenly rang out in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharon froze. She was about to turn around but immediately realized that Nolan was no longer there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nolan?\" she called anxiously. \"Where are you? Don’t joke around—that’s not funny.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze swept the area frantically, but Nolan was nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t tell me he disappeared...\" Her heart pounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was the Great Mage. It should have been impossible for Nolan to vanish under her watch—unless a far more powerful force was at work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swallowing nervously, Sharon muttered,What should I do? Where can I look for him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan opened his eyes and found himself in a mysterious room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a narrow space, measuring three by three meters. A bookshelf stood in the right corner, accompanied by a one-meter lamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, I was teleported, huh?\" Nolan muttered with a slight smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admittedly, he was quite surprised. The bell seemed to have triggered a secret mechanism on the ship that forcibly transported him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, Nolan felt no fear. Nothing in this world could scare him, let alone a ghost ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked toward the desk in front of him. The wood looked rotten and porous, clearly ravaged by time and the ship’s harsh conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous documents were scattered across the desk, but most were worn or torn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan picked up one and examined its contents. Suddenly, his usually calm expression turned to horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This writing... this language...\" His heart pounded wildly. \"It’s from my previous world!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1050,"2026-05-30T06:57:16.338Z","2026-06-01T04:30:35.482Z",1,"novelbin.me","a7b146f4726536bd2336671ba33cb93d213624244a43a79f9d3a9af8eaa4cd8b","the-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-chapter-373","the-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-chapter-371",748,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-cover.jpg"]
