The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 306: Stranded jackdaw

   "Land!" After three days of drifting on the sea, Leo's always tense spirit gradually relaxed, and he quickly rowed the lifeboat and leaned towards the land.

  Because of the sufficient food supply, and the spiritual sensitivity of the spiritual network, he has always been able to avoid the storms in advance. Leo’s three-day drifting did not encounter any difficulties in survival.

However, what really caused Leo to feel nervous was that after he escaped from the ship, he always felt that he seemed to be concerned by something. However, no matter what method he used to investigate, he could not find this useful clue. The only certainty What's more, this concern originates from the depths of the ocean.

It is precisely because of this strange feeling that Leo has to wake up and keep himself in a state of vigilance, and this state of vigilance lasts for a long time, even if Leo’s body can hold it, the spirit is also It will be overwhelming.

   The sudden appearance of the land under the perception of the spiritual network for him is no different than a safe haven for him to rest temporarily, and whether there is danger on the land is temporarily out of his consideration.

  As the lifeboat gets closer to the land, the whole picture of the land is gradually included in Leo's spiritual network.

   This land is an island formed by a volcano. The area is about the same as the port of Venaya. 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 a hot stream of energy gathering continuously in the crater. It seems that the volcano is still in the active period, and it may erupt again when it is uncertain.

  However, Leo’s concern is not the active volcano, but the wreckage of the ships on the island’s shore.

If there are only one or two wreckages of these ships, he won’t be paid too much attention, but the problem is that there are hundreds of wreckages around the beach just exposed to the sea, which is not sinking to the bottom of the sea, only a little The number of wrecks with sponges exposed from the mast is probably over three or four hundred if the wrecks are included.

   Leo does not know much about ships, but he can also judge from the marks on the ships with obvious characteristics of the times that these ships are not in the same era.

Among these ships from different eras, Leo saw many duck boats called sailing enlighteners. This kind of ship appeared in the early days of the great sailing era four hundred years ago, and was the standard for the navigator at that time. Ships, but soon these ships were replaced by larger and faster dinghys, and they existed for less than fifty years before and after.

   In addition, among these ships, there is the most famous invincible ship in the Sigma Kingdom, which was the largest ship in the world at that time. Even if it is put into the present, it is definitely among the top five in terms of volume alone.

   At that time, the Sigma Kingdom relied on this super ship to cross the sea and become the world’s first maritime overlord, transporting all kinds of wealth and slaves on the Mosang continent to all parts of the world.

However, the Sigma Kingdom is too obsessed with such giant ships. For hundreds of years of sea dominance, they did not have any idea of ​​improving such ships. Eventually, the Kingdom of Sigma found flaws and created a more rapid, The easier-to-steer three-masted shuttle sailboat finally sent this giant ship that has dominated the sea for a century to the historical stage.

Shuttle sailboats that defeated the invincible ship naturally appeared in the remains on the beach, and there are a lot of them. Roughly calculated, there are at least more than 40 different improved shuttle sailboats, and Leo is more surprised. It was he who saw the flag of Pirate Count Drake on the flagpole of one of the three-masted shuttles, and this flag was not an ordinary fleet flag, but only a flag belonging to the flagship, which means that the ship was stranded The wreck of the ship was once the flagship of Pirate Earl Drake.

"The Jackdaw!" Leo, after discovering this, focused on the spirit net and looked at the details of the ship's wreckage. Soon he judged that the ship should be from the special psionic head of the ship's head. It was Drake’s first car, the Jackdaw.

As the most famous legend in the world, there are countless legends and books about Pirate Earl Drake, and new books and dramas continue to appear, and among all the legends, the Jackdaw is the most Many people think that the Jackdaw has made Earl Drake, and the Jackdaw is also a gift from the Poseidon to Earl Drake.

According to the stories, the Jackdaw is a ship with magical power. It not only has a speed comparable to the sea breeze, but also can easily travel through the storm. There is absolutely no danger of overturning. The most important point is the Jackdaw. With almost god-like power, it can create giant waves that overturn invincible ships, can emit ice thorns like siege hammers, and even freeze sea water. It will use ice to crush all ships.

  All in all, the Jackdaw is a true sea invincible ship. Its highest record is that it has sunk a squadron of five invincible ships and fifteen combat sailing ships by itself.

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 cloth of the sails to the source of the magical power of the Jackdaw. It has been thoroughly studied by fans of the Jackdaw for so many years, and even someone has specially published an analytical atlas for it, so Leo recognized the ship’s head from the image of the bow of this broken ship so quickly. origin.

  The final attribution of the Jackdaw has always been something that the Jackdaw fans enthusiastically discussed, because apart from Drake himself, no one knew the final destination of the Jackdaw.

The last appearance of the Jackdaw was to participate in a maritime war between the Kingdom of Engel and the Kingdom of Sigma. As many as 100 ships participated, and then disappeared when returning to the port controlled by the Kingdom of Engel. One month later Captain Drake was at sea After being rescued, the Jackdaw and the other crew members on board were nowhere to be seen, and Captain Drake had never mentioned anything related to the Jackdaw, as if the Jackdaw never existed.

At that time, even now, some people suspect that Captain Drake's disappearance was encountered in the legendary Poseidon and was trapped in the Poseidon palace. Captain Drake returned the Jackdaw that he got from Poseidon. After the Poseidon and all the crew were sacrificed, the opportunity to return to the mortal world was obtained.

"I didn't expect the Jackdaw to be here?" Leo, after confirming that the ship was the Jackdaw, showed a strange expression on his face, and said to himself with a smile, "This is the so-called Poseidon Palace." ?"

  After he finished speaking, Leo also felt that his guess was a bit unclear. He smiled, put the idea behind him, and then dragged the boat hard, and drove towards the beach where the Jackdaw was.

   Soon Leo’s lifeboat came to the sea near the beach. The water in this sea area was filled with the remains of various shipwrecks. The clear water allows people to easily see the situation in the sea.

  However, at this time, Leo suddenly stopped rowing and extended his head out of the lifeboat, turning on the sight-seeking skills and watching the sea below.

   The reason why Leo suddenly made these moves is because just before the mental network he always opened outwards, he found that the seabed seems to have abnormal movements. This abnormal movement is the unnatural vibration of the water waves.

, Produced a circle of artificially created water lines, but his spiritual net did not feel any living creatures swimming in the water, so he used binocular skills to bless his eyes and see with his eyes.

When he looked at the bottom of the sea, the scene projected in his eyes surprised him. I saw that there was nothing else in the sea world. There were a few more sea fish that exuded psionic waves. Each of these sea fish is transparent. , And integrated with seawater.

Leo’s spiritual sight can clearly see that the seawater directly penetrates and passes through the body of the fish, and these fish are like the changes of seawater, there is no rejection reaction, and because of this, Leo’s spiritual network is only There is no way to discover the existence of these psionic fish, because under the scan of his spiritual net, these fish are no different from the surrounding seawater, and naturally they are ignored.

The waves generated by the lifeboat across the water naturally disturbed these eccentric psionic creatures in the water. They were originally peaceful and peaceful. They instantly turned into violent beasts and rushed towards the rescue boat where Leo was located, and The fish mouth widened like a snake mouth, revealing a circle of sharp teeth inside, revealing their fierce appearance.

   Faced with the attack of these psionic creatures, Leo did not panic, but put the hand that made the Fayin gesture directly in the water, cast an Aldefayin, formed a shock wave, and spread in the water.

Although these strange fish are psionic creatures, they still can't get rid of some of the fish's weaknesses. When the shock appeared, the fish that had just been fierce and abnormal all twisted around like a drunk, and then followed the body. One by one the belly floated up to the sky.

   Leo originally wanted to salvage a floating monster to see what its body structure was like, but the shock wave released by Aldfayin did not weaken and disappear as he wished, but expanded uncontrollably in the sea.

The ships that had been completely decaying around were crushed by the shock wave, which was like a paper piercing, and the force of the shock wave hitting the bottom of the sea formed a small tsunami, which set off more than ten meters high. The huge wave directly photographed Leo's lifeboat in the direction of the beach.

Although the accident happened suddenly, Leo did not panic. When the lifeboat was about to fall on the beach, he pedaled hard and leaped out of the lifeboat. When the lifeboat smashed **** the wreckage of the ship on the beach , He has landed on the soft sand without any harm.

   Stable Leo continued to maintain the spirit net and soul sight skills, carefully scanned everything on the island.

Since some psionic creatures have appeared in the offshore waters, it means that the island should be suitable for psionic creatures, that is to say, there must be some other psionic creatures on the island that may have been extinct outside, just like the Black Forest same.

   is different from the previous rough scan with the spirit net. Now he searches more carefully, and soon he finds something useful.

There are indeed many psionic creatures in the virgin forest on the island, and these psionic creatures are very special, because each psionic creature seems to have the mimic ability to deceive the spiritual net like the few strange fish. Instead of carefully comparing the surrounding environment, I'm afraid Leo can't find these mimic creatures.

Although these psionic creatures on the island behaved very peacefully and did not see any offensive behavior, but he thought of the sudden change of the strange fish just now, he felt that it was better to be indecent before he did not understand these psionic creatures. Provoke them.

In addition to psionic creatures, Leo also discovered an interesting thing, that is, there are traces of human habitation on this island, and there are five or six of these traces that seem to have been left in recent times, not ancient Some survivors stayed.

Leo is not sure whether the humans who left those humble houses are still alive on this island, but he is very certain that those humans should have been attacked by psionic creatures on the island because of the humble HOS can be seen everywhere.

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 dim, and it seemed that it would be dark soon, so he decided to find a temporary shelter from the wind. Stay for one night, and explore the island tomorrow morning~lightnovelpub.net~ Leo chose the Jackdaw as his temporary residence, not just because he was right when he was on the sea The bow of the Jackdaw is interested, but more importantly because the wreckage of the Jackdaw is still intact, and some secrets related to Earl Drake may be found in the ship.

Stepping forward to the Jackdaw, although Leo knew the size of the Jackdaw when he checked it on the sea with Spirit Net, but standing in front of the Jackdaw, he felt that the ship was really Big, at least in the world of vinylon at the time.

The deck of this ship is more than 20 meters high and the hull is more than 200 meters long, so the whole ship looks a little slender from a distance, but this figure is very suitable for shuttle on the water, then the Jackdaw can be called the most The fast sailing ship is probably also related to his shape.

   Leo did not pay much attention to the shape of the ship, he was concerned about the bow of the Jackdaw like the bottle holder of the Jackdaw.

The Jackdaw is the traditional belief of Deliyat, the northern kingdom on the Minsk continent. Jackdaw is also a unique species there. Whenever winter comes, a large number of jackdaws will appear in the city and emit a rattle. Tell everyone that winter is coming, so the jackdaw also has another nickname for the winter messenger.

The Lord of the Jackdaws was the main belief of the Northern Kingdom long ago. However, with the disappearance of the unique bird, the belief of the Lord of the Jackdaws gradually declined. There are not many masters, and most of these people are religious scholars and folklorists.
