There are obvious differences between the ships of Ji Luo and his party and the big ships of Han Xia.
Most of the ships that can enter the sea in Hanxia are building ships with three or four layers of structure. They are equipped with many magic weapons to maintain the vitality and order inside the ship. Most of the ships are engraved with cloud patterns to provide levitation. Together with the water-proof charms on the bottom of the ship, they ensure that most of the time
It does not come into direct contact with the sea water, but is semi-suspended in the air. Most of the sails have the ability to control the wind, and are more or less equipped with wind-driven oars on both sides to facilitate the steering of the hull.
The ships in the Southern Islands are typical large three-masted sailing ships with two or three decks. The bow of the ship is usually placed with symbols of the gods that the captain believes in, or some sculptures with strange abilities. Most of these statues are made by practitioners who are trying to explore Shinto.
The hand can provide guidance, shelter, dispel fog, etc.
To put it simply, the sea ship in the Southern Islands can basically be regarded as a simple temple that does not meet the specifications very well.
Therefore, Milo, who left the port of Hanxia on a sea ship, immediately felt a force watching him, and it became more obvious as the ship gradually moved away from the waters of Hanxia.
At the same time, the other merchants on the same ship also looked at Milo with some evil intentions, and the more arrogant ones stared at him directly as they looked at the goods.
Milo looked at Jiluo, the man who was almost a brother to Milo in Hanxia, and just smiled without any expression.
Eyes slightly lowered, Milo chuckled and said, "I thought we had some friendship besides the contract."
"Oh! Dear Sen Luo, we naturally have some friendship, but this emotion obviously cannot make me pay a high price for you. After all, according to our contract, I must give priority to ensuring your identity certificate in the kingdom. As for
Operations at sea..."
Before Ji Luo finished speaking, he saw Milo taking out a string of beads that exuded a faint starlight. His eyes lit up slightly and he said with a smile: "Is this the gift you are going to give me? If so, I
But I can help you vouch for them."
"hehe……"
Milo chuckled twice and gently moved the beads. Ji Luo's face instantly became a little ugly: "What now?"
The fluctuation of Liuzhu made Jiluo feel that the contract he signed with the other party was tightening, and a dark and evil force gathered, which seemed to be the opposite of everything in the world. More importantly, Milo had originally hidden it.
His cultivation level was also gradually revealed. What was originally just a mana fluctuation up and down the Xuanguang realm continued to increase, reaching a level no less than that of the general Tianyi realm. The powerful pressure made Ji Luo breathless.
'Why do you think I have the guts to go to your country place alone?'
Ji Luo, who saw such words in Milo's eyes, turned pale slightly and said with a bitter smile: "My dear friend, please don't pay attention to the previous joke. Our friendship is so sincere, and your request is my responsibility."
, I will help you solve any small problems at sea."
"We won't need it this time, maybe next time."
Milo said, looking towards the bow of the ship, where there was a statue that looked like a shark, which was being bound by starlight. The captain hurriedly stepped forward to beg for mercy, but was interrupted by Milo: "I didn't come out just now, now
Just stop talking."
As he spoke, Milo clenched the beads in his hand, and a sound of rising and falling tides instantly appeared on the shark statue, constantly washing away the starlight.
"Can you still resist? It's a bit unexpected!" Milo smiled, but his eyes were full of coldness. Dots of light appeared around him. Along with the crisp sound of cracking stones, the starlight began to shrink, and a stream of light appeared on the statue.
An obvious crack.
Then, Milo touched the void with his fingertips, and the stars fell, repairing the statue. While maintaining its power, it also made the captain lose control of the bow statue.
"Is it possible that a legend who fulfills his destiny may even be a high-ranking legend?"
The captain's mouth was slightly bitter, but he did not dare to say another word to Milo and watched him leave.
Ji Luo, who left right after Milo, became extremely attentive and easily helped Milo get everything done.
That night, the captain, regardless of the loss of supplies, held a banquet and invited Milo to attend.
This change in attitude lies in the power shown by Milo.
In the Southern Islands, professionals who correspond to the realm of immortality, refining energy and transforming into gods are called legends.
According to the division of Xuanguang, Dharma and Tianyi, legends can also be divided into three classes. Pseudo-legends or sub-legends who simply break through the legendary level but have not completed the destiny and condense their own domain, noble phantom and legendary destiny;
A true legend who completes his own legendary destiny, gathers enough faith, and possesses noble phantoms and realms; and a high-ranking legend who develops his treasure phantoms and realms to a very advanced level and begins to explore the realm of demigods.
Similar to what Ji Luo said before, most of the legendary captains who can travel between the Southern Islands and Hanxia are at the level of true legends. Some of them do not even have complete legendary destiny themselves, but rely on being bound to the ghost ship to enter the true legend level.
Once they reach the shore, they will become nothing more than pseudo-legends.
Therefore, high-level legends are already the limit that ordinary people can access. Even among the kingdom alliances in the Southern Islands, some of the strongest people who occupy the small islands to build countries are just high-level legends.
To put it bluntly, in the Southern Islands, any legend can obtain the status of a noble as long as he is willing to join the country. And high-ranking legends have a very high social status. Even if they have not joined any force, as long as they do not let go of any taboos,
No one will target them. Outsiders like Milo will at most be ostracized secretly, but they will never be blatantly suppressed or humiliated.
Of course, if Milo is unwilling to join any force, then he will not be able to obtain some relevant resources and information, and after the initial temptation, he will not get what he wants.
'After the Southern Islands broke up, three large fragments were used as the main body, dotted with hundreds of sporadic islands. Each of the three large fragments was almost the same size as one or two states in Hanxia, and the sporadic islands on the side were mostly the same size.
A standard county is first-class, and less than one-tenth of the islands can match the standard prefecture-level. According to the available information, most of these islands are also the external defense system of the Southern Islands, and many small countries are essentially traps used to deal with the waves of monsters in the sea.
, or sacrifice...'
While catering to the people who came to him, Milo gently moved the beads in his hand: "According to the existing records, the monks who came from Hanxia and the nobles of the Southern Islands always arranged some dangerous places in an interesting way.
, through the restraint of local people, or in exchange for passes to enter the three major fragments. To put it bluntly, no civilization will like chaos. Although the Southern Islands are chaotic, the underlying order still exists.'
'So, I need someone to help guide me and take me around the first level.'
And this is also the role of Ji Luo.
A little light appeared in Milo's eyes, and his finger stopped on a flowing bead. The faint starlight turned, and a faint line containing the meaning of the wedding dream emerged.
Marriage Dream, one of the seventy-two techniques of Earth Evil, is a strange technique that can haunt people with nightmares, destroy their spirit, or weave dreams into and out of them freely.
If you study in depth, you will find that the art of dream marriage is not a simple spell. The so-called marriage refers to transfer. Although the external manifestation is the ability to weave dreams and freely enter and exit dreams, those who are proficient can also derive the ability to enter and exit dreams.
Dreaming, fantasy and other spells are used, but their essence is to transfer dreams.
According to Milo's guess and further speculation, it may be possible to develop a method based on the art of marrying dreams to use dreams to play with truth and falsehood, reverse the future, and then transcend the constraints of life, the universe, etc.
At this time, Milo used the characteristics of Marrying Dreams to slightly deviate the memories of everyone present, and at the same time made everyone forget the previous events. The reason for holding the banquet also became because the captain found a
The Starlight Orb is the reason why the bow statue is upgraded.
Everyone ignored Milo, who was hiding on the side, except Ji Luo.
The second son from a big family suddenly woke up from his previous excitement. He guessed what Milo wanted to do.
"My dear friend, you said earlier that you must first ensure my identity in the kingdom, right?"
"Yes."
Ji Luo looked at the people around him who seemed to have completely forgotten what happened before, and couldn't help but tremble slightly. He suppressed his fear, responded to Milo's question, and said cautiously: "Please rest assured, there will be no problems until you get your identity certificate.
"
"That's good."
Milo nodded and returned to his cabin. After waiting for seven days, the ship docked. Milo felt that the island was surrounded by a turbid and lifeless force.
He frowned slightly and walked out of the cabin. Jiluo quickly came to his side. Without outsiders noticing, he explained the reason to Milo in a more intimate manner and in a very respectful tone.
"Docked next to it is the ghost ship Diver that took us back this time. It is one of the few legendary ghost ships that can dive. Its captain is also a legendary professional. The combination of the two has the ability to be close to a high-level legend.
, one of the strongest among today’s legendary captains.”
"Oh?" Milo narrowed his eyes slightly and looked to one side of the sea. He only heard a roaring sound, and then the water rolled, and a huge mast broke through the waves, followed closely by a very dilapidated ship, but the overall structure was intact.
A huge sailing ship appeared on the sea.
The surface of the sailboat was covered with sticky seaweed, and there were holes in the rotten wood, and something like eyeballs were slowly rotating.
As the ghost ship emerged from the water, ghosts of the dead appeared on the deck one after another. At the same time, the cabin door opened, and pale sailors walked out one by one. Cooperating with the ghosts, they pulled up the sails. The cold wind blew, and the breath of death slowly descended.
The wooden door representing the captain's residence opened, and a sturdy middle-aged man walked out. He was wearing a tight-fitting, wide-sleeved noble dress with red stripes on a black background. The white engraved square scarf and shirt inside were particularly conspicuous against the black vest.
, the peculiar heraldic brand pendant hung on his neck, and the dark knight boots made his already tight white pants look even more bulging.
Coupled with the single-breasted coat with gold buttons draped over his shoulders, the pure black gilt belt buckled around his waist, and the knight's sword hanging from his waist, his outfit looked quite noble.
But his strong figure and greasy black curly long hair made him look a bit nondescript.
Especially his long hair that looks like seaweed or the tentacles of an octopus, swaying up and down as he walks, making people feel scared when they see him. What makes him sober is his pale face and scarlet eyes.
It adds a touch of evil charm to the original rough appearance, preventing the overall style from being too fragmented and conflicting.
When the captain saw everyone, he pulled on his white hollow gloves, made an exaggerated move like an opera, and said loudly, almost like singing: "Oh! Dear businessmen, I have been waiting for you here for a long time, and I thought
You want to let me go. But now it seems that your harvest seems to be good. So as reward, give me what you promised me."
Hearing this sound, Milo felt goosebumps rising all over his body. The sticky sound was like some kind of mollusk wriggling in your ears, which was unbearable.
However, Ji Luo and other merchants were not surprised and quickly sent the items prepared in advance carrying the power of order to the other party's ship.
Once furniture, daily necessities, calligraphy, paintings, books, musical instruments, etc. enter the ghost ship, they are covered by black air, and then quickly decay, turning into rotten wood and ashes.
On the contrary, the ghost ship's original chaotic atmosphere was slightly relieved, and many of its broken parts were naturally repaired.
'I see!'
Taking this opportunity, Milo also saw clearly some facts about the ghost ship.
Just like the previous description of the ships in the Southern Islands, most of them are like unruly temples.
The essence of the ghost ship is closer to an altar, while the so-called commodity trading is somewhat similar to worship and shelter, a relationship close to Shinto sacrifice.
The ghost ship obtains a weak order and a blessing similar to the will of faith with the help of merchants' offerings, while the owner of the ghost ship provides shelter.
Over time, the ghost ship will gradually have its own mythology and even a corresponding legendary destiny.
This is why many captains who are only pseudo-legends can exert the power of true legends on ghost ships, because the fields and powers of the two are complementary.
'Unfortunately, this kind of sacrifice is too crude and lacks a core. If all the ghost ship beliefs are gathered on one ship, or a certain captain can command all the ghost ships in the Southern Islands, they may be able to cross the threshold of demigods.
, become ghost ships, gods who protect shipping and other aspects. However, given the situation of the sea water, once it is really not as good as this level, and there is a higher level of communication with the ocean, they may not be able to maintain their own sanity intact.'
Looking at the ghost ship captain who looked much more normal than before, Milo secretly determined that the previous exaggerated performance was also one of the results of being corroded by the sea water.
After Milo simply determined the opponent's strength, he had no idea of continuing to dig deeper. After all, he could not use the power of the treasure mirror now, and among the one hundred and eight Tiangang Disha spells, the Tiangang spell was not perfect enough.
It will attract the other person's attention.
Milo, who just stood up and returned to the cabin, did not notice that the owner of the Abyss Diver Ghost Ship showed a strange expression at the moment he turned his head. There seemed to be some kind of mixed emotions deep in his pupils.
The breath is slowly moving.
His throat squirmed slightly, and a voice that ordinary people couldn't hear whispered in his throat: 'Another monk from Hanxia? It's quite rare.'
After saying that, the legendary captain returned to his cabin, took out a diary from the bookshelf, and began to write down what he had seen today.
At the same time, far away in the southern archipelago, in a dense forest, in a huge bookstore, a book automatically fell from the bookshelf. The pages turned and quickly reached a blank page, on which the Abyss Diver gradually emerged.
What the Lord of the Ghost Ship is writing.
After waiting for half a quarter of an hour, each young man with green leaves on his body, antlers on his head, and strange lines on his face walked into it. Every time he took a step, one of his decorations disappeared and hung automatically.
On the side, his aura will also become a little easy-going.
The original appearance of the Nanfang Islands also changed with its decoration and atmosphere, making it closer to the residents of Hanxia.
He sat down, took out the book that was automatically adding content, and started reading.
'Oh? Someone came to Hanxia again, this time as a casual cultivator. Moreover, they were not plotted by the merchants of the Southern Islands. It seemed that they had obtained a certain degree of protection. They were the first people to enter the Southern Islands successfully.
Guan. By the way, the person who protects him is called Ji Luo. Let me see...'
As he spoke, the man stretched out his hand again, and a thick book that was one meter long, half a meter wide, ornately decorated, and did not match the surrounding environment at all appeared in front of him. He opened the book and opened it inlaid with jewels.
The cover of the book, looking at the densely packed family crests and corresponding names, and even the relationships between them, started looking through page after page.
'It's not this, it's not this... Oh! It's this family... Then according to their family's practice, they should find ways to arrange for my fellow countryman to be placed on Airmail Rhodes Island, hoping to use the turmoil and chaotic ecology there to make him surrender.
.But that’s okay. In recent years, the ecological changes in Airrod Island have become more and more serious. I can just use the investigation as a reason to visit this fellow.'
Thinking about it, the young man put the book back to its original place, got up and walked out again, but this time he did not change into the semi-savage appearance before, and the robe similar to Hanxia on his body turned into a double-breasted sapphire blue.
Slim-fitting dress, a large lace collar with intricate embroidery appears on the neck, and white gloves pass through the fingers.
"This decoration should satisfy that gentleman. After all, this can be regarded as a display of my recent achievements."
After muttering to himself in a low voice, the young man walked out of the room and walked towards a towering tree nearby.
