Raymond used the secret technique of [Swallowing Ghosts] to easily kill the first "question mark level" ghost monster, and his style suddenly changed.
The dark cabin full of horror has turned into a joyful monster-killing scene.
This mysterious map that is beyond the scope of the current level has become a real "map of opportunity".
More than a dozen monsters came menacingly through the wall, and then they were completely devoured by Raymond as soon as they met.
The soul strength experience gauge is obviously much higher with the naked eye.
Calm returned to the cabin again.
...
When the crisis was over, Ilya blinked his big eyes and sighed with curiosity: "Uncle, is this also the soul spell inherited by Haines? It's really powerful, it can actually swallow such a high-level spirit body..."
"yes."
Raymond nodded, his eyes filled with burning heat.
He looked at the dark cabin, and suddenly a greedy thought came to his mind. There were more than ten "Question Mark-level" ghost monsters in such a small area, so how many were there in the entire ship?
As far as he knew, the space of this wooden ship was ten thousand times wider than what he saw now, with density x area, and the number of monsters was absolutely considerable.
"A monster has a soul strength of more than 20,000, which is not so much for killing a strong demigod in the outside world... If there are really 180,000 ghosts, wouldn't my mental power be able to advance to the 'God Realm'
Already?"
Raymond roughly estimated the profit from killing monsters in his mind, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
At this moment, in his eyes, this "Ship of Theseus" was like a high-level treasure house that no one had ever set foot in, full of unknowns and surprises.
My dear...
This is the "divine ship" that has sailed from ancient mythical civilizations to the present.
Other things can decay, but special items such as "artifacts" are not so easily annihilated. Perhaps there is an artifact lying in the corner of a certain cabin that has been covered in dust for endless years?
However, the only thing that needs to be worried about is some mysterious beings that are still "alive" on the ship.
Theoretically speaking, from ancient times, the living creatures on this ship should have died long ago and turned into ghost monsters like just now.
But Enzo acquired vampire blood on the ship, which means there must be a "living" vampire ancestor on the ship.
Raymond couldn't guarantee that the ancestor of the blood clan had no ill intentions towards their arrival, so he had to be careful in everything.
...
At this moment, Eileen, who was in a coma, suddenly woke up.
Ilya noticed this first. With a hint of a theatrical expression, he pointed at Irene and called out softly: "Uncle, your little lover is awake..."
"ah?!"
As Erin listened to the voices, a flash of alertness flashed across her face, especially the dark cabin which gave her an inexplicable sense of terror.
She sat up quickly, and the blanket covering her body fell to the ground, and the wind blew slightly. At this time, the girl turned pale with fright, and quickly covered her body.
"Eileen, are you awake?"
Raymond walked over with a gentle smile on his lips.
Judging from her panicked look now, the evil god's will has really left.
Irene saw Raymond's familiar face clearly, and the luster in her eyes suddenly lit up. After being stunned for a moment, she called out a long-lost title: "Lei...Classmate Raymond?"
She didn't know why, but after seeing Raymond again, the panic in her heart suddenly disappeared. Instead, she felt like a deer bumping into each other.
"Well, it's me!"
This is a title buried deep in my memory.
When Raymond heard Irene calling him "Classmate Raymond", he felt as if he had returned to the time when he was at Black Sea Philip Academy.
At that time, this kind and quiet girl always looked so timid and shy. Looking back now, that time carries too many beautiful memories for the two of them.
Raymond was filled with joy and asked: "Irene, have you recovered your memory?"
"Restore memory?"
Irene was stunned when she heard this, looking a little at a loss.
With this stimulation, some broken memories flooded into her mind. She felt her brain was a little confused, her crystal eyes trembled violently, and asked: "Classmate Raymond, where is this? Where are my... clothes?"
She clearly remembered that when Philip led the battle, Raymond tried to escape with her, but was finally stopped by the enemy. His kendo teacher "Blind Swordsman" Eriksson also died trying to save them.
.
She couldn't remember much about what happened next, only some sporadic scenes.
She felt as if she had had a long dream, in which she became a naval admiral, killing many pirates on the boundless sea...
But that was not what she wanted to do. It was as if there was another soul in her body who kept saying something, and then she fell into a drowsy sleep.
Then, the dream woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Raymond and a very beautiful woman.
Raymond quickly explained: "Well... we were temporarily trapped on a big ship. Then, it was me who tore your clothes... Don't misunderstand that, I was here to save you..."
He told the story in detail, starting from when Philip took over and talking about the previous rescue battle. Then the evil god came to her body, and in order to drive away the evil god's will, she did some indescribable things.
.
"It turns out that so many years have passed..."
Eileen's expression was complicated as she listened.
This narration connected the missing fragments in her memory.
She thought it was a long dream, and when she woke up, she even thought they were still on the island led by Philip.
Unexpectedly, what happened in the dream actually happened.
Oh, my clothes turned out to be torn to pieces by classmate Raymond...
He did something like that just to save me, so it's not considered rude...
Thinking of this, Erin suddenly calmed down.
With Raymond by her side, she always felt an inexplicable sense of security. She felt that she wouldn't refuse him anyway, so whatever happened happened.
...
At this time, Raymond took out a set of his spare clothes from the space package, handed it to Irene, and said: "Irene, please put your clothes on first. There are many things, I will give them to you slowly.
speak..."
"oh."
Erin took the clothes obediently and glanced at Raymond from the corner of her eye.
Many years have passed, and although her body has revealed her mature charm, her mind is still the innocent girl in her teens. Looking at Raymond, a layer of blood spread on her slender neck.
Hongxia, she couldn't hide the shyness in her eyes.
Ilya on the side looked at Irene's cute appearance and sighed slightly: "No wonder uncle is obsessed with you..."
On this day,
Raymond regained the treasure.
...
Time flies.
Unknowingly, Raymond and the others have been trapped on the "Ship of Theseus" for three months.
Yes, trapped!
Before boarding the ship, he never thought that the ship could only be entered but not exited. When he regained his extraordinary ability and tried to jump off the ship and return to the sea of blood, he discovered that there was an ancient layer on the ship that was "only accessible but not accessible".
Magical ban.
Then, the three of them began their journey of exploration of the "Ship of Theseus".
Three months was not a short time, but because they were afraid of the "ancient existence" that might be alive on the ship, their exploration progress was very limited.
Moreover, even after seeing the design drawings, Raymond discovered that the structure of this mythical ancient ship was far more complex than he had imagined.
I originally thought they were some simple cabins, but I didn't expect that there were many "space overlapping" settings, and there were cabins within the cabins. A rough estimate is that the number of cabins here may exceed 100,000...
Although almost everything in the cabin has been completely decayed by time, judging from the structure of the room, this "Ship of Theseus" is not just a large and exaggerated ship, but more like a survival base.
.
Judging from the structure of the cabin, there may have been a "farm", "residence", "library", "parliament hall"...
Various signs indicate that a large number of humans from the mythical period once lived here. They used this ship as a base to engage in production, creation, and reproduction...
This "Ship of Theseus" is a small continent with all the internal organs!
pity....
The "artifact" that Raymond was looking for was nowhere to be seen. In three months, the biggest gain was the increase in soul strength.
Of course, they were also fortunate that the monsters they encountered were all ancient spirits. Otherwise, any other "question mark-level" monster might have killed them on the ship.
...
Although trapped, life is not difficult.
Erin regained her memory, she was still the innocent little princess.
Her relationship with Ilya is also becoming more and more harmonious.
The three of them have been getting along day and night, and have become very familiar with each other. They are like glue.
On this isolated "Ship of Theseus", in a world shrouded in darkness, they each relied on their own spiritual comfort.
Later, when we got to know each other well, we would occasionally sleep with each other and do some shameless things.
Lei is also happy and happy.
that's all,
A few more months passed.
It only took the three of them to search the first floor of the bilge. And if Raymond remembered correctly, on the drawing, the ship had at least five more floors...
After all, it is impossible to be trapped for a lifetime,
Raymond never gave up looking for a way to get off the ship.
He thought that if Enzo could get out alive back then, there must be a way to leave the ship.
Now the only way Raymond can think of to get off the ship is to find the mysterious being who passed down the "second generation bloodline" to Boss Enzo.
There is no other way but to search layer by layer.
...
Finally, Huangtian paid off.
Raymond found the cabin with the table that Enzo said.
Of course, that was nearly two years later.
It seems that this is a "civilized exhibition hall".
Raymond also finally understood what Enzo said, that he saw what the "ultimate end of the world" was on the ship.
The reliefs on the walls of the cabin record the last crazy days of the mythical civilization, a story called the "War of the Gods."
Thousands of races participated in the war, and the battle was so dark that countless gods and demons fell...
That battle was the main culprit that led to the end of mythical civilization.
After that, it was the twilight of the gods.
The world was devastated, and the gods who fell in the war were buried in these broken plane fragments.
Just as Raymond and the others had guessed before, the "Great Navigation World" is just a broken plane, and these broken planes are just cemeteries where the corpses of the gods are buried.
The surviving high-ranking gods left and went to the upper level of the World Tree.
The broken planes are like fallen leaves floating away from the main body, and the high-level laws are also missing. The lives of the remaining creatures in the world are becoming more and more short, and they will never become gods...
The arrival of Raymond and the others also woke up a sleeping old man.
He told stories like fables.
"The big tree was beaten to pieces, and the leaves fell to the ground, covering a thick layer. There was a small boat made of branches floating aimlessly, carrying the hope of thousands of people, trying to find a way home.
..."
"The endless years will eventually drive all the creatures on the ship to extinction. The ghosts of this ship are the traces left by the dead..."
"There is only one vampire hiding in the dark, using the method of dormancy to survive. He took a boat and crossed countless broken planes, witnessing the passage of time and the changes of civilization..."
"About every few thousand years, someone will accidentally enter this 'Ship of Theseus'. The old vampire will give these juniors from various planes some 'opportunities'... allowing the mythical civilization to use another form of
way to continue.”
"He is an old man who has been forgotten by time. He has lived so long that he has almost forgotten his own existence..."
"He is the last witness of the mythical civilization, a traveler in the endless broken planes..."
"..."
The old vampire who has lived from the "mythological period" to the present has no hostility at all, and even chatters a bit like a chatterbox.
In the old man's words, he felt that Raymond was not the best qualified person on the ship in the past tens of thousands of years, but he was the most special one.
Most of the people with extraordinary extraordinary status died under the siege of the ghosts on the ship.
As for the weak and lucky ones (such as Enzo, who didn't encounter any monsters throughout the journey), he didn't even think about meeting, so he gave the opportunity and sent him off the ship.
But Raymond was the only one who killed monsters all the way from the sixth floor of the cabin to the first floor of the cabin.
But the energy of the first ancestor of the vampire race seemed to be very limited. After telling these stories, he exhausted the energy he had accumulated for many years.
He sent the three people off the boat, and Raymond also received a parting gift from the ancestor.
He successfully advanced into the bloodline of the second generation ancestor.
...
This day, the wind was calm and sunny.
There is a small lifeboat floating on the vast sea.
Two women and one man crowded into the boat, enjoying the long-lost sunbathing.
Like vampires who have been unable to see the light all year round, the skin of the three of them is abnormally white.
There were no outsiders anyway, both women were wearing cool clothes, and a large area of their skin was exposed to the sun, which made all the pores soothed.
"Oh, the smell of blood is finally gone in the air..."
Ilya Yao sniffed and greedily breathed in the air with a hint of sea smell.
She crawled lazily, enjoying the warm sunshine and gentle sea breeze, and sighed: "I didn't expect that we actually stayed on the 'Ship of Theseus' for more than two years..."
Irene turned over, motioned to Raymond to help her apply sunscreen evenly on her back, and asked: "Raymond, where are we now? We have been sailing for most of the day, and we haven't seen a single human being."
..”
While helping the two girls apply it, Raymond said: "I don't know. But the senior said he sent us back to the original plane. I think we should be in a remote corner of the Endless Sea now."
The communication range of the phone bug he carried with him was limited. He tried to contact his friends in the "Ghost Group", but the phone bug indicated that the distance was beyond the contact range.
Thinking about it, now they probably have to find a human territory first and use advanced communication equipment with signal enhancement to achieve long-distance communication.
However, from this perspective, their location may really be in a very remote place.
Otherwise, the super long-distance phone bug created by Colin would not be unable to contact us.
...
It was also a coincidence that not long after they wandered on the sea, they encountered a sailing caravan.
The three Raymonds were treated as survivors of a shipwreck and were rescued on the ship.
After boarding the ship, they inquired about its location.
Then, I was shocked.
"Excuse me, steward, which sea area is this?"
"This is the sea area near the 'Orn Territory'."
"Orn Land?"
"Yes, the territory of Grand Duke Aoun. We are the merchant ship of the 'Blackwater Merchant Guild', planning to go to the 'Tianlan Capital'. Where are you three going?"
