"Land!" After three days of drifting at sea, Leo's tense spirit gradually relaxed, and he quickly rowed the lifeboat towards the land.
Because there was sufficient food supply and the sensitive awareness of the spiritual network allowed him to avoid the storms in advance, Leo did not encounter any difficulties in survival during the three days of drifting.
However, what really made Leo feel nervous was that after he escaped from the ship, he always felt that he seemed to be watched by something. However, no matter what method he used to explore, he could not find such useful clues. The only way he could be sure
It is this concern that originates from the depths of the ocean.
It is precisely because of this weird feeling that Leo has to wake up all the time and keep himself in a state of vigilance. If this state of vigilance lasts for a long time, even if Leo's body can hold on, his spirit will not be able to withstand it.
It will be a bit overwhelming.
To him, the land that suddenly appeared under the perception of the spiritual network was nothing more than a haven where he could rest temporarily. As for whether there was any danger on the land, he was not considering it for the time being.
As the lifeboat gets closer and closer to the land, the whole picture of the land is gradually included in Leo's mental network.
This piece of land is an island formed by a volcano. Its area is about the same as that of Vinaya Port. The island is covered with plants. It seems that the volcano has not erupted for a long time. However, Leo's spiritual network can feel the presence of the volcano's crater.
There are streams of hot energy that are constantly gathering. It seems that this volcano is still in the active stage, and it is uncertain when it will erupt again.
However, what concerned Leo was not the still active volcano, but the shipwrecks on the shore of the island.
If there were only one or two of these shipwrecks, he wouldn't pay too much attention to it. But the problem is that there are hundreds of shipwrecks around the beach alone.
If the number of sunken ships with sponge masts exposed is included, the number is probably over three to four hundred.
Leo didn't know much about ships, but he could also tell from the marks on the ships that bore obvious characteristics of the times that these ships were not from the same era.
Among these ships from different eras, Leo saw many duck-hulled ships called sailing enlighteners. This kind of ship appeared at the beginning of the Age of Discovery four hundred years ago and was the standard equipment of navigators at that time.
Ships, but this type of ship was soon replaced by the larger and faster dhow, which existed for less than fifty years.
In addition, among these ships is the most famous invincible ship of the Kingdom of Sigmar, which was the largest ship in the world at that time. Even now, it is definitely among the top five in terms of volume alone.
At that time, the Kingdom of Sigmar relied on this kind of super ship to sail across the sea, becoming the world's first maritime overlord, transporting all kinds of wealth and slaves on the Moissan continent to all parts of the world.
However, the Kingdom of Sigmar was too obsessed with this kind of giant ship. Hundreds of years of maritime supremacy made them have no idea of ​​​​improving this kind of ship. In the end, the Kingdom of Sigma found a flaw and created a faster,
The easier-to-turn three-masted shuttle sailboat finally brought this giant ship that had dominated the sea for a hundred years out of the stage of history.
The shuttle sailboats that defeated the invincible ship naturally appeared among the remains on the beach, and there were a lot of them. A rough calculation showed that there were at least forty shuttle sailboats of different improved types, and it even surprised Leo.
It was he who saw the flag of the pirate Earl Drake on the flagpole of one of the three-masted shuttle ships. Moreover, this flag was not an ordinary fleet flag, but a flag that only belonged to the flagship. In other words, the flag of the stranded ship
The shipwreck was once the flagship of the pirate Earl Drake.
"Jackdaw!" After discovering this, Leo concentrated on checking every detail of the wreckage of the ship. Soon he judged from the special bow image with psionic energy on the head of the ship that the ship should be
It was Drake's first ship, the Jackdaw.
As the most famous legendary figure in the world, there are countless legends and books about the pirate Earl Drake. New books and plays are constantly being published to this day. Among all legends, the story about the Jackdaw is the most common.
, many people believe that the Jackdaw made Earl Drake successful, and the Jackdaw was also a gift from Poseidon to Earl Drake.
According to those stories, the Jackdaw is a ship with magical power. It not only has a speed comparable to the sea wind, but can also easily travel through storms. There is absolutely no danger of capsizing. The most important thing is that the Jackdaw
Possessing almost god-like power, it can create huge waves that overturn invincible ships, can send out ice spikes like battering rams, and can even freeze sea water and use ice to crush all ships.
All in all, the Jackdaw is a truly invincible ship at sea. Its highest record is that it sank a Sigma raiding fleet composed of five invincible ships and fifteen combat sailing ships on its own.
It is precisely because the Jackdaw is so famous that all kinds of research on the Jackdaw are extremely detailed, from the materials of the ship, to the fabric of the sails, to the source of the Jackdaw's magical power, and so on.
It has been thoroughly studied by various fans of the Jackdaw over the years, and some people even made a special analysis album for it. That's why Leo was able to identify the ship from the bow portrait of this shabby ship so quickly.
origin.
The final ownership of the Jackdaw has always been a matter of heated discussion among Jackdaw fans, because no one except Drake himself knows the final whereabouts of the Jackdaw.
The last time the Jackdaw appeared was when it participated in a naval battle between the Kingdom of Inge and the Kingdom of Sigmar, involving as many as a hundred ships, and then disappeared while returning to a port controlled by the Kingdom of Inge. A month later, Captain Drake was at sea.
After being rescued, the Jackdaw and the other crew members on the ship disappeared, and Captain Drake did not mention anything related to the Jackdaw, as if the Jackdaw never existed.
At that time and even now, some people suspected that Captain Drake encountered the legendary Poseidon and was trapped in the Poseidon's palace the month he disappeared, and that Captain Drake returned the Jackdaw he received from Poseidon.
He killed the Poseidon and sacrificed all the crew members before he got the chance to return to the mortal world.
"I didn't expect the Jackdaw to be here?" After Leo confirmed that the ship was the Jackdaw, he showed a strange look on his face and said with a smile to himself: "Could this be the so-called Poseidon Palace?
?”
After finishing speaking, Leo also felt that his guess was a bit unclear. He smiled, put the idea behind him, rowed the boat vigorously, and sailed towards the beach where the Jackdaw was located.
Soon Leo's lifeboat arrived at the sea near Nachu Beach. The water in this sea area was filled with the remains of various sunken ships. The clear water made it easy for people to see what was going on in the sea.
However, at this moment, Leo suddenly stopped rowing, stretched his head out of the lifeboat, activated his spiritual vision skills, and looked at the seabed below.
The reason why Leo suddenly made these moves was because just now he discovered that there seemed to be abnormal movement on the bottom of the sea with his always-open mental network. This abnormal movement was caused by the unnatural vibrations of the water waves, creating circles of man-made waves.
The water pattern created by him, but his mental network could not feel any living things swimming in the water, so he directly used the spiritual vision skill to bless his eyes and see with his eyes.
When he looked at the bottom of the sea, the sight projected in his eyes made him suspicious. He saw that the originally empty sea world now had several sea fish emitting psychic fluctuations. Each of these sea fish was transparent.
, and blend into the sea water.
Leo's spiritual vision can clearly see that the sea water directly penetrates and passes through the bodies of the fish. These fish are like transformed from the sea water without any rejection reaction. It is precisely because of this that Leo's spiritual network can
He was unable to discover the existence of these psychic fish, because under the scanning of his mental net, these fish were no different from the surrounding sea water, so they were naturally ignored.
The fluctuations caused by the lifeboat paddling across the water naturally alarmed these strange psychic creatures in the water. They were originally peaceful and peaceful, and they instantly turned into violent beasts, rushing towards the lifeboat where Leo was, and
The fish's mouth opened wide like a snake's mouth, revealing a circle of sharp teeth inside, revealing their true ferocious appearance.
Faced with the attack of these psychic creatures, Leo did not show panic. Instead, he directly placed the hand making the sign gesture in the water and cast an Alder Sign, forming a shock wave that spread in the water.
Although these strange fish are all psychic creatures, they still cannot get rid of some of the weaknesses of fish. When the impact occurs, the fish that were so fierce just now all twisted their bodies randomly as if they were drunk, and then followed
Bellys floated upwards.
Leo originally wanted to salvage a floating monster to see what its body structure was like, but the shock wave released by Alder's seal did not weaken and disappear as he wished. Instead, it expanded uncontrollably in the sea.
The surrounding ships that had been completely decayed were crushed by the shock wave and instantly shattered like pieces of paper. Moreover, the force of the shock wave hitting the seabed and recoiling up also formed a small tsunami, setting off a tower more than ten meters high.
The huge wave directly pushed Leo's lifeboat away in the direction of the beach.
Although the accident happened suddenly, Leo did not show any panic. When the lifeboat was about to land on the beach, he pushed hard and jumped out of the lifeboat. When the lifeboat slammed into the wreckage of the ship on the beach,
, he had landed firmly on the soft beach without any harm.
Leo, who stabilized his body, continued to maintain his mental network and spiritual vision skills, and carefully scanned everything on the island.
Since some psychic creatures have appeared in the offshore waters, it means that this island should be suitable for the survival of psychic creatures. In other words, there must be other psychic creatures on this island that may have become extinct in the outside world, like the Black Forest.
Same.
Different from the rough scanning with the mental network before, he searched more carefully now, and soon he found some useful things.
There are indeed many psychic creatures in the primeval forest on the island, and these psychic creatures are very special, because each psychic creature seems to have the same mimicry ability as those strange fish that can deceive the mental network. If
Without carefully comparing the surrounding environment, Leo might not be able to find these mimicked psychic creatures.
Although these psychic creatures on the island behaved very peacefully and did not see any aggressive behavior, but thinking about the sudden transformation of the strange fish just now, he felt that it was best not to be indecent before understanding these psychic creatures.
Provoke them.
In addition to psychic creatures, Leo also discovered something interesting, that is, there are traces of human habitation on this island, and five or six of these traces seem to be left in the recent period, rather than ancient times.
Some survivors left behind.
Leo didn't know whether the humans who left behind those simple houses were still living on the island, but he was very sure of one thing, that is, those humans should have been attacked by psychic creatures on the island, because those simple houses were
Traces of damage can be seen everywhere in the HOS housing.
Before understanding the specific situation on the island, Leo felt that it was not a good decision to rush into the forest on the island. At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and it seemed that it would get dark soon, so he decided to find a shelter from the wind for the time being.
Stay one night and explore the island again at dawn tomorrow.
Leo chose the Jackdaw as his temporary residence. This was not only because he was interested in the bow of the Jackdaw when he was on the sea, but also mainly because the wreckage of the Jackdaw was still intact.
, and some secrets related to Earl Drake may also be found inside the ship.
He stepped in front of the Jackdaw. Although Leo had already understood the size of the Jackdaw when he used the mental net to check it at sea, it was only when he stood in front of the Jackdaw that he felt that this ship was really big.
Big, at least in the world of Velen at that time.
The deck of this ship is about twenty meters high and the hull is more than two hundred meters long. Therefore, the whole ship looks a little slender from a distance, but its shape is very suitable for traveling on the water. At that time, the Jackdaw could be called the most beautiful ship in the world.
The fast sailing ship is probably also related to its shape.
Leo didn't pay too much attention to the shape of the ship. What he focused on was that the bow of the Jackdaw looked like the statue of the Lord of Jackdaws holding a bottle.
The Lord of Jackdaws is the traditional belief of the northern kingdom of Dalyat on the Minsk continent. Jackdaws are also a unique species there. Before winter comes, a large number of jackdaws will appear in the city and make strange cackling calls.
It tells everyone that winter is coming, so the jackdaw is also known as the winter messenger.
A long time ago, the Lord of Jackdaws was the main belief in the Northern Kingdom. However, with the disappearance of the unique bird Jackdaw, the belief in the Lord of Jackdaws also gradually declined. Now, the Northern Kingdom's Dalyat knows about the Lord of Jackdaws.
