Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 771 The Shipwreck at the Bottom of the Lake

The water is stagnant and full of stench.When the fluorite falls, you can clearly see the black flocs floating in the water.

Soon, Fluorite hit bottom.

The huge shadow at the bottom of the lake also revealed its true colors.

"This is... a boat?" The tattered canvas was stuck to the wooden post, and it was listless in the water.The bare mast frame, the black sediment hanging, and the faintly visible cabin all indicate that this is a sunken ship.

Shipwrecks are not uncommon, but sinking at the bottom of this lake is very strange.

The size of this lake is not small, but Angor has already circled around it before, and did not find any outlet to the sea.How did the ship sink without a tributary to connect it to the sea outside?Or, how did the ship get to the lake?

There will never be a boatman repairing a boat by this lake for no reason. After repairing the boat, he finds that he can't get out, and finally sinks.

Angel just thought about this possibility, and he felt stupid.

No shipbuilder would go to a dead lake to repair a ship, and from the glimpse just now, the ship should be a cargo ship.The journey of the cargo ship is boundless ocean, it is impossible to dwell in this small lake.

So how did this ship come about?

Angel decided to go down to the lake to explore.

The purification force field was turned on, shielding the surrounding filth. Angel wandered around the bottom of the lake, making sure that there was no so-called dark passage in the lake, and then returned to the shipwreck.

The location of the sunken ship happened to be in the center of the lake. When looking down from the lake, I felt that the ship was very big.But really close contact with the bottom of the water, the size of this boat is not as big as imagined, it is even smaller than the Yunluo, and it is about the same as the Lingshan.

The model of the ship is indeed a freighter, but Angor cannot judge which era the ship is from.If Helen or Alvin were here, they might be able to give the answer.

Angel went into the cabin to search, and there were foul-smelling black fluffs everywhere, and within the range of light from the fluorite, nothing that could prove the identity of the ship was found.

When Angel came to the bottom cabin, he found that the centerline longitudinal beam of the keel here was broken, and broken wood was floating in the water.

Judging from the cracks, it seems that the strong impact caused the longitudinal beam to break.

But this scar is on the bottom of the ship, and there is almost nothing that can cause such a big impact except giant sea beasts.But there are no sea beasts in this lake, not even living things.

So where did the crack at the bottom of the boat come from?
Except for the remains, Angel could not find anything of value on the ship.Even the cargo on the ship was empty, and there was nothing in the captain's cabin.

Angel could only give up and returned to the lake.

Regardless of the origin of this ship, there are currently two doubts about this ship.Why did it sink to the bottom of a dead lake with no way out?And, who caused the break of the bottom keel?
There are no sea beasts in the lake, so where does the bottom-up impact come from?

"Couldn't it have fallen from the sky?" Angel muttered, and suddenly he was stunned.

A flash of light flashed in his mind, as if he had caught some clue.

He hung silently in mid-air, seemingly motionless on the surface, but in his brain, the memory box was quickly flipping through past memories, and then combined with what he saw after entering this area.

"Why can't it just fall from the sky? The fact that the Ling Fan can go from here to the misty area, and then disappear from the misty area and come back here, doesn't that explain something." Angel opened his mind and guessed what was going on. possible fact.

Angel raised his head and looked at the dark sky.

Perhaps in this strange area, the space is extremely unstable, and ships fall into it from time to time.And one day, a crack in space appeared above the lake, and the boat fell directly from the sky.

Then the violent impact broke the bottom stringer and caused the ship to sink.

"Falling from the sky can explain why cargo ships appear in lakes with no tributaries. It can also explain why the bottom of the ship breaks."

Angel's eyes wandered to the iron pot on the support on the shore, and he made up a picture in his mind.Perhaps when the ship fell, not all the people inside died. Some people survived by chance, swam to the shore, and built a stove.

"However, even if someone survives, there is no food to be found in this dead place. In the end, there must be death." Angel thought to himself, perhaps the bones of those who survived are nearby.

There is no light, no food, and even the water is dirty.They must have been injured when they fell, and they couldn't run far.

Sure enough, after a while Toby brought back two bones from a few hundred meters away.

It is worth mentioning that Angel found an iron box necklace on the neck of a skeleton.This kind of iron box necklace, he once saw some sailors wearing the same necklace on the Yunluo.

The sailors themselves know very well that they will suffer a precarious end when they seek life at sea.Therefore, it is necessary to leave a suicide note when setting sail.

And this iron box necklace is actually similar to a suicide note. The iron box usually contains the sailor's personal information and precious items.The sailors hope that if their bones are lucky enough to be found, the discoverer can identify his identity through the contents of the iron box, and then send their bones back to their hometown.

The precious items in the iron box are the trading materials they prepared for the discoverers.

If the discoverer takes the precious item, it means that he has accepted the promise, but if he only takes the item and does nothing, he will suffer the curse of the dead for revenge.Of course, this is just a legend and has no basis.

Angel couldn't find any clues about the boat at the bottom of the lake.He thought about it, maybe he could find some clues in the iron box necklace.

The tin box is not big, probably about one-third the size of an adult's palm.The iron sheet outside has decayed, revealing rust-red mottled traces.

The tin box was opened, releasing a cloud of dust.After the dust settled, the contents of the box appeared in front of Angel.

A crumbled ruby ​​ring, and a piece of parchment folded to a small size.

The ring is an ordinary thing, it is probably the money to buy the bones to return home.

Angel opened the parchment, wanting to see who this person was and whether he had anything to do with the sunken ship.

On the top of the parchment, the identity of the owner of the skeleton is recorded. His name is Goblin Frando, and his hometown is in the Red Maple Country of the Magic Cornice Corridor...

The handwriting of the personal information is very neat, it is estimated that it was written before sailing.But at the bottom of the personal information, it was written extremely sloppy, and it should have been confessed hastily before his death. It can be seen that this Goblin was not in a calm state of mind when it was recorded.

When Angel read all the content, his expression flashed.

He guessed right.

The name of the sunken ship was Yefu. It was originally a cargo ship bound for Ferran Continent from the Eaves Corridor. When it passed through the Gear Abyss, it suddenly fell into a fog. Before they could react, it fell from the sky and crashed into this dead lake. among.Ships perish, people perish.Goblin survived by luck, but lacked water, so he survived here for a period of time. After writing this passage, he also fell asleep here forever with the Yefu.

In addition to this information, Angel also got two additional pieces of information from the parchment.

One is time. The time when the Ye Fu crashed into this lake was 300 years ago, which is actually not too long.The second is that Goblin wrote a sentence in a puzzled tone in the last row:

"Am I dazzled? Why, I saw a shadow whose appearance is so similar to the legendary King of Violence?"

The legendary king of violence?

If this is not Goblin's hallucination before his death, does it mean that there is another person here?

Angel suddenly remembered the black shadow he saw flashing past not long ago. Could it be that black shadow is the so-called King of Violence?

If it is true, then the other party has lived for hundreds of years.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Angel also worked hard, and he couldn't relax at all in this weird place.

He stuffed the parchment and the ring back into the iron box, and put them back on the skeleton's neck. He had no intention of taking Goblin's skeleton back to his hometown.If the Devil's Eaves Corridor is a place he can drop by, it's okay for him to do good deeds, but it's a pity that the Devil's Eaves Promenade is far from the Enlightenment Continent where he is going.

Angel was about to leave the lake, but the pressure of the true wizard made him feel like a mountain. He had to find Lucas' treasure as soon as possible, and then leave here.

With Toby, Angel continued to fly down.

It didn't take long for them to leave the mountain area, and at the same time Angel also vaguely felt the coast on the other side of the island.Because the stench from the wind became stronger, which meant that they were not far from the sea.

In this area, Angel also wandered around, and there was no sign of anyone except the dead wood.

But when Angel emerged from a withered palm grove, his expression suddenly froze.

In front of him is the coast, but compared to the coast behind the cliff where the Lingshan ship ran aground, this place is much more lively.Because just within Angor's line of sight, he saw countless...ships!

All kinds of ships, expedition ships, icebreakers, cargo ships, cruise ships, sailing ships, pirate ships... almost everything, but these ships are all full of stale atmosphere, almost exactly the same as the Feather Fan, and they all died here.

There are also fluorite lights on some boats, which makes this coast not look bleak.

But the light of these fluorites, combined with the lifeless ships, makes people feel creepy.It's like being in a dark mountain forest, it's fine if you can't see anything, but when a pile of phosphorous fire suddenly rises at this time, the sense of horror will be amplified even more.

"This is completely the grave of the ship." Angel whispered to himself.

If it was the Ye Fu, it fell into this strange place of death because of unstable space.What about the boat here?Is it also because the space is unstable?But even if it was unstable, it should have landed in various areas like the Yefu and Lingfan, instead of all piled up on this coast?
Moreover, Angor flew from the other side of the island where the Feather Fan was located to this side, following a straight line; during this process, he did not find any place to hide treasure.It can't be said that this ship's tomb is Lucas' treasure, right?
Angor was completely at a loss.

There are more and more mysteries surrounding this weird island.
