The fleet sailed all the way west and came to the sea area called Rossol Bay in the Claw Sea Manual.
Darkos could only feel that the world was so amazing. The book he picked up at the Krakarond Market at that time could be of such great help to him. This manual that brought him from the old world to Naggaroth by accident of yin and yang. Like a code of destiny, it guides his direction and guides him to navigate the sea of claws. He also added some of what he saw in the manual in Eltharin during his voyage here, as well as sketches of Triton that Wren had witnessed, and added side views of Norse dwarf warships. The Skellings also drew a drawing of Druchi and the followers of Khorne fighting on a plank. In the drawing, Druchi was wearing black armor instead of the silver armor he currently wears.
While Darkus may never have the opportunity to adventure and sail as much as he does now, he borrowed a lot from the Cult of Mannan, and he was able to use this book as a blueprint to place in Marselan at Chapeiuto It was for sale in the Great Temple, no... He found that he didn't seem to be short of money. It was better to exchange the money for unique points within Storm Weaver, and then give the points to the believers in the form of redemption. As for the rules for redeeming points, he hasn't thought about it yet, but he has already thought about the items and creatures that points can be redeemed for, such as heirloom sea beasts like Haitu and Deep Sea Ji that can be passed down for three generations.
In the afternoon, the fleet sailing in Rossol Bay soon discovered a place where the sea remained unnaturally still. Darkus, who climbed to the top of the mast, frowned and looked at that strange place. What he felt everywhere was not the sea, but lakes, lakes surrounded by oceans. He observed them with a monocular telescope for five minutes. During these five minutes, there was no sign of movement in the ocean... He couldn't help but sigh again at how true the world is. wonderful.
According to the manual, ships rarely go there unless forced by harsh conditions. Sailors who did so would return with stories of finding themselves no longer sailing the seas, but instead surrounded by inviting lush meadows or seeing their loved ones calling to them from beneath the waves. Despite the most dire warnings, there are always curious sailors willing to step over the edge of the deck to their death.
The reason why Darkos was interested in this place called the sunken site of La Giron was because there was a fragment of record in a small piece of tofu in the manual. The La Giron is an armed merchant ship of the Estalian treasure fleet. It is responsible for sailing from the plundering port of Lustria across the vast ocean and back to the major ports in the old world. It is used to transport plundered treasures from Lustria. Take back the loot and sell it.
However, that's all. The manual doesn't tell how La Giron sank, or what made it so far away from Estalia. Maybe it was because the items on board were needed by Erengrad's designated buyer? After all, the author of the manual is not the captain of the La Giron, and there is no logbook, let alone the sunken site. If it weren't for the blueprints obtained from the monster shop here, Darkus wouldn't even know that the La Giron sank here. The word Lustria activated him as if he had passed a Turing test. Based on the principle of come and go, he had to take a look.
Under the guidance of Belloda, the fleet docked at the edge of the unnatural stationary area out of caution.
Darkus rejected Drusala's suggestion to use flying skills to conduct reconnaissance. He snapped his fingers, and the Trident of the Sea standing on the deck automatically flew into his hand. After these days of practice, he It can already direct the trident to carry out floating attacks through willpower, just like blowing a whistle arrow. Now, he wanted to try the other functions of the trident.
After aiming the Trident of the Sea at the unnatural still area, thoughts kept surging in Darkus's mind. As time passed, the originally calm sea surface changed. In Belloda Under the exclamations of the Drukis, the seawater began to surge and gradually split, just like Malekith's spell in the Nether Lake.
Facts have proved that the blueprint record is accurate. A damaged sunken ship was quietly half-buried in the not-deep sea, and there was something next to the sunken ship. Darkus looked over it without using a telescope. It seemed to be a diver. bell? Maybe it was because the distance was too far, he wasn't sure, and the appearance was a bit strange, and it was different from his stereotype of the diving bell. He always thought that the diving bell needed to be operated with a handle, and the fixed display was removed. Bolts to the hull.
But what kind of diving bell it is is no longer important. What is important is that someone tried to salvage the La Giron after it sank. Otherwise, it cannot explain why there is a diving bell. It has also been confirmed from the side that there are indeed important things in the sunken ship. s things.
In the absence of Marcelan's three-piece suit, Darkus could not keep the sea apart for too long. After all, this operation was indeed a bit evil. At this moment, he even thought of some ways to use it. For example, when an enemy ship rushed towards him, the enemy ship would be like falling off the edge of a cliff into an abyss. There was only one result, and the ship and the people were thrown directly into the abyss. On the sea bed, he fell to pieces! Perhaps this is also the reason why the onlookers exclaimed.
Under the command of the flag, three graceful falcon ships docked above the sunken ship and began to anchor. After the people who wanted to go to sea were selected, they gathered on Darkus's boat. Maranur, who was shirtless and only wearing shorts, had already begun to gear up and couldn't wait. It seemed that this period of time had overwhelmed him. After the sorceresses cast black magic, Maranur transformed into a diver and jumped into the sea first with an extremely fancy move.
Darkus, who was standing on the deck, shook his head to express his speechlessness, and then jumped down. As he gradually adapted to the sea water, he opened his eyes. He could clearly see the things surrounding the sunken ship. It felt like the sunken ship had transformed into a giant beast, and the surrounding things leaked from the damaged belly of the giant beast. It was like the entrails of a giant beast were flowing out. As he gradually descended, he could clearly see the surrounding things emitting a golden light. He knew without even thinking that this must be gold from Lustria.
Some bubbles came out of Darkus's mouth because he laughed, and he remembered a passage recorded in the manual.
When a fisherman in Schoenfield was fishing, he found that the mackerel he caught had a bulging belly. The fisherman who took out the guts of the fish found that there was a gold nugget in the mackerel's belly, and the same was true for the next one, and the next one. Even more so! As he was about to throw away the last mackerel, he suddenly heard a whisper. Although he did not understand the content, he believed that it was Mannann's blessing. He began to gather as many people as possible to come back and continue to cast the fishing net. However, the fishing net Not to mention the mackerel with nuggets, there wasn't even a single other fish.
The story ends here, just like a fable or a fairy tale. Just like the Emperor's New Clothes does not include what happened to the boy who told the truth, the story does not include what happened to the fisherman in the end. But the story is not groundless. The gold nugget should be here. If it is correct, it is not Mannann's blessing, but other things attached to the gold nugget, such as the fishermen's magic that the human body cannot bear. wind.
Things were just as Darkus thought. Drusala beside him made a gesture to him, indicating that there was a magical wind below. He nodded to Drusala, gestured to the Druchs to pick up the gold nuggets, and he swam towards the strange-looking diving bell. The diving bell is a metal cabin with three glass portholes. However, the glass windows could not withstand the pressure under the water and were broken. Inside the cabin were two skeletons who must have suffered great pain and fear before death, showing a struggling appearance. . There is a movable door on the side of the metal cabin to allow the crew to enter and exit, and on the back is a weighted bucket that is used to store air and configuration. There is also something like a faucet behind the skeleton, which should be used to control the air flowing in the cabin. Managing stress and stuff like that.
Darkus shook his head and couldn't help but sigh that the world is so wonderful. He had no intention of moving the skeleton out. Perhaps this metal cabin was the best place for the two forerunners and practitioners.
There are advantages to having professionals. Darkus and other divers did not enter the sunken ship through the hatch leading to the cabin from the deck of the sunken ship. Under the guidance of Drusala and the Eye of Taibok around his neck, he used The Trident of the Sea controlled the water flow and tore a hole in a ship plank located in the ballast compartment of the sunken ship.
Genevieve took out the recurve dagger from her belt, made a gesture and rushed in. After a moment, she loosened her hand on the ship's board, made a safety gesture and went deep into the ballast cabin.
After Darkus entered, he was blinded by something emitting golden light. When he gradually adapted, he saw a polished gold disk similar to the size of a donkey stone millstone. There was a surprised expression on his face, because he couldn't think of such a thing in the Claw Sea far away in the continent of Lustria. He couldn't help but sigh that the world was so wonderful. He knew very well what it was. It was a huge polished gold plate at the top of the pyramid. The ancientness of this thing could even be traced back to the time when the temple city was built.
And unlike other decorative discs, this polished gold disc is obviously not a mortal object, because Darkus, who was getting closer, discovered the emblem of the ancient holy water god Sect. The patterns on it were both abstract and gorgeous, composed of five It is composed of layers of concentric disks. From the outermost circle to the innermost circle, the earth, sky, ocean, sun, moon and constellations are depicted respectively. Five layers of concentric disks revolve around the unknown constellation in the middle, and the middle position There seems to be some direction.
After observing for a moment, Darkus made a gesture to continue searching. And he continued to observe the polished gold plate. If it is correct, this is the most essential thing in the entire sunken ship, because Drusala's perception and the guidance of the Eye of Taebok are not wrong.
With the rhythmic tug of the Drukhi on the ship and Darkus using the Trident of the Sea to create a dragging stream of water, the polished gold plate was fished out onto the ship. Originally, he wanted to do the entire chore of salvaging the polished gold plate alone. He went up, but he quickly gave up. He was thinking about playing safe. If he failed to control the polished gold plate and fell down again, the fun would be great. Sometimes it was like this, especially after setting up the character, and he didn't want this polished gold plate, which was similar to the creation of the ancient saint, to break from his hands.
Having gained something, Darkus lost interest in continuing to salvage. He climbed up the rope ladder to the deck, put on Kaitan and noble robes, and began to study. He looked at the five-layered concentric discs that occasionally rotated and quickly thought that this should be a guide used to find things, just like a wishing machine. After thinking about the target he wanted to seek, he put his hand on the polished gold disc, and then The middle pointer will point somewhere.
However, the polished gold plate did not respond and only occasionally rotated disorderly. Darkos instantly lost his desire to study, because he knew that an idealistic thing like the ancient saint's creation required an instruction manual when operating it for the first time, and this instruction manual was obviously not in the sunken ship, otherwise he would have sensed it. There is only one possibility, either it was transported to the Old World by another ship of the Treasure Fleet, or it is still in Lustria.
The things in the sunken ship were being salvaged one after another. In Darkus' opinion, they were all worthless things. They were all worthless things such as gold and gems, or they were stone carvings that should have been carved on pillars and walls. After Ren and Cradin worked together to salvage a Triceratops skull that could be worn on the head of a monitor lizard, the salvage activity came to a successful conclusion.
The fleet did not stop and continued to sail west. After passing by the jagged rocks that can cut the waves at Dread Reef, the fleet arrived at Schoenfield, a fishing village with few anchorages surrounded by Dread Reef. A place more desolate than Salka.
As a fishing village, it is natural to make a living by fishing, plus whatever the fear reef catches with its teeth as a supplement to life. It is normal for ships coming and going to hit the Dread Reef, and the fishermen don't even need to light torches to attract the ships. Whenever a ship is lost here, a messenger is often sent here, because there is a high probability that the prows of ships can be seen piled up among the debris washed ashore by the tide in the central square of the village.
The fleet was just passing by and had no intention of docking, and strangely the few anchorages were full of large ships. Darkus didn't even need to guess that these ships were for smuggling. After all, there were no unloading fees for Sarkar, and there were no provincial troops stationed here. They were potential substitutes for Sarkar.
This fishing village does not have the necessary factors to deserve the vigorous protection of the rulers of the Oster Territory. This fishing village seems to be abandoned there like a weed and left to fend for itself. Even with the protection of Fear Reef, there is no guarantee that the fishing village will not be raided at all, so the continuation of this fishing village can be regarded as the best proof of human tenacity to a certain extent.
Now all we need to do is get some sleep, and the fleet will arrive in Nordland in the middle of the night, which will also be the end of this sea voyage.
