Arkham in the pirate world

In the dark underground, in the empty and huge space, ancient weapons that had been sealed in dust for eight hundred years were revealed again.

The entire space was like a dock, with a huge ship moored. As the lights turned on, the darkness was dispelled, and the light shone on the shadow of the ship, revealing the true face of Pluto.

It was a huge sailing ship that seemed to be smeared with black paint. It was nearly three hundred meters long and nearly thirty meters high. The widest part of the deck was about seventy meters. The towering main mast looked like a plant growing on the ship. The giant tree stands upright.

The streamlined hull makes it seem to have a good speed, but on both sides of the ship, huge iron chains extend like a tracker's cable.

The huge hull prevents Pluto from completely relying on wind as power. Although it has a special power system inside, more often than not, this is a giant ship that needs to be towed by the Sea King class.

Liszt jumped lightly, soared into the air, and landed on Pluto's deck. His hands touched the polished ship's railings. There was no trace of dust, nor the kind of wood that begins to decay after a wooden ship has been parked for many years. It feels like the railings are still hard, as if they just came out of the shipyard.

It is obviously an ancient ship that has gone through thousands of years and has been buried underground for eight hundred years, but it is still spotless. It seems that someone is cleaning it every day, dusting it, maintaining it, waiting, and getting ready to set sail again. .

Liszt heard the sound of the inner door of the ship being pushed open, but he glanced around but didn't see anyone.

Liszt didn't take it seriously either. This was an ancient weapon that had carried the history and was named the "Pluto" in mythology. It was normal for some supernatural phenomena to appear on the ship. In other words, it was only when there were no supernatural phenomena on the ship. unusual.

Pluto is completely black. If you look carefully, this black color is not paint, but the metallic luster of the wood after special treatment. When you tap it gently, you can hear the crisp metallic sound, even the mast and the hangings on the mast. The rolled-up sail also seems to be black. This black color makes the whole ship feel solemn and depressing, as if it is a ghost ship sailing out from hell to attract souls. Same.

Liszt jumped onto the mast and lowered the rolled-up black sail. The mainmast's black sail unfolded with a roar, revealing a huge white skull on the sail.

The skull occupies a huge proportion on the sail surface. In the sunken eye sockets, there seems to be swirling black mist. The most exaggerated thing is that its mouth is grinning upward, as if it is smiling, and is curved into a crescent moon. shape.

As the sail surface fell to the bottom, a black mist suddenly spread from the sail surface and gradually spread, wrapping the entire sailboat. Then, the lamps hanging on the ship spontaneously ignited as a strange wind blew by. , the lights emitted a pale white light in the black fog.

Liszt landed on the deck and walked into the cabin entrance with two lights hanging. At some point, the closed cabin door had opened. It was dark inside, as if leading to the underworld, and as Liszt stepped on Entering, the lights lit up one after another, extending towards the depths of the cabin, illuminating the corridor.

On both sides of the corridor, there are portraits hanging from time to time. One of them depicts a giant tree in the sky. It is the real sky. The crown of the tree reaches into the sky, the roots penetrate into the seabed, and there are some strange-looking creatures surrounding it. This giant tree survives.

Under the roots of the tree, there are life forms swimming around. If you look closely, you can see that they are fish-men.

The roots of the trees drilled out of the sea, and countless aerial roots formed the land. There are giants, snake-headed tribes, demons, etc. who drink dew when they are thirsty and eat the fruits on the trees when they are hungry. What is more peculiar is that human beings like Bubbles grow from trees and serve as symbols and totems.

In the middle layer of the giant tree, there are various animals living, the more conspicuous ones are the fur tribe and the evil dragon with wings.

And in the upper layer of the tree canopy, there are still two groups living, one with white wings and the other with black bat wings.

And right on the top of the giant tree, through the clouds, there was a bright moon.

Such a painting seems to depict something from ancient times, a history that has never been recorded.

Of course, the content in the painting may not necessarily be real. It may just be some kind of work that has been artistically processed and is based on the artist's imagination.

Liszt walked down, and the next painting followed the previous one.

On a sea, some human beings and other ethnic groups used the trunks of giant trees to make canoes and headed into the distance. Some human beings began to climb up along the giant trees. Another group of humans and other ethnic groups, Choose to stay.

What is the reason that leads to the division of human beings and various ethnic groups?

Lister continued walking, and the third painting depicts humans and groups on boats, disembarking on different islands on the sea.

The fourth painting depicts humans climbing up to the top of the tree and having friendly exchanges with the two winged races. Then these humans became interested in the moon in the sky.

In the fifth painting, the remaining humans and other ethnic groups began to build ships together. The fish-men tribe dragged out a huge and complete black tree root that had been soaked in sea water and time from the seabed.

The sixth painting is a bonfire. Around the bonfire, different figures are sitting, including fishmen, giants, humans, etc., and these figures are looking at a blurry black figure at the same time, and the black figure stretches out its hands. Leaning towards the flames, and in the flames, a doomsday scene of surging waves, giant trees toppling, and the destruction of all things was distorted.

Liszt paused for a moment and connected the contents of the painting. In the place where various races lived around the huge trees, there was a man who knew prophecy, perhaps a wizard who was born with the power of seeing, hearing and color, and saw the giant tree toppling in the waves. , the scene of the destruction of various ethnic groups, and in order to avoid such a disaster, all ethnic groups involved in this prophecy chose three ways out.

One is to leave and go to the sea to find other islands that can survive, one is to go to the sky and above the moon, and the other is to stay, and the remaining ethnic groups are buried under the sea with a giant tree. The sunken wood was hit by a ship.

The eighth painting shows a dark sky under a raging storm. A large black ship is sinking in the storm. Behind the ship, you can vaguely see the giant trees sinking into the sea, as well as countless trees undulating in the sea. The figure and the sea surface seemed to be dyed red with blood, and the ship also gave people a dark feeling, as if its first voyage symbolized misfortune.

In the ninth painting, a large black ship capsized on the seabed was towed out of the sea by huge sea kings. At a place similar to a dock, many humans gathered and cheered.

Liszt continued to move forward, but the next painting had no connection with the previous painting.

Is all this real?

Liszt had some doubts about who the person who drew these contents was.
