"Does that mean they won't be able to resist now?" Luo Ling directly used the Tower of Source to release a sleeping spell. As the ripples swept over, the people below immediately stopped moving and fell asleep one by one.
Without anyone to operate it, the ship slowed down quickly. Xiao Chen and his companions landed on the ship and waited for the Houyi to approach them. When it was close enough, Huang Zheng used magic to build a bridge between the two ships, and Ma Anmin brought a group of sailors and marines from the Houyi to take over the ship.
They moved most of the drowsy people into several cabins and began to check the ship.
Xiao Chen walked into the interior of the ship and found that this ship was quite similar to the ship in that world, with narrow stairs and chamfered doorways. He didn't know whether it was because humans' ideas for making tools were always similar, or if this ship really had some connection with that world.
He saw a light on the wall of the corridor, and after using his mental power to investigate, he found that it was not a lighting crystal, but a light bulb. The light bulb emitted a slightly dim light, which gave Xiao Chen a very familiar feeling.
"There's actually an electric light!" Luo Ling, who was following behind him, was also surprised.
"There is obviously plenty of magic in the air, but this ship doesn't seem to have any traces of magic. It feels like seeing a cactus in a tropical rain forest." Xiao Chen made a very strange analogy.
"Could it be related to race? The magic resistance of these people makes it impossible for them to use magic properly?" Mei Tiantian said. But as soon as she finished speaking, she rejected her idea: "No, no, whether or not you can cast magic is only related to your external mental power."
"But this matter is indeed very strange, just like there is a car driving but you insist on walking." Luo Ling said.
"If someone knows, the car will definitely break down?" Xiao Chen walked along the widest route and found the captain's room of the ship. There was a solid wood desk, a leather sofa, an iron bookshelf, and a desk lamp. There were some documents scattered on the desk. However, Xiao Chen's eyes were attracted by a picture frame on the wall.
It was a black and white photo. Captain Balivian was sitting in the middle of the photo, with a woman about his age next to him and three children around them.
Luo Ling put down a document and said, "The language here is indeed still the common language of the mainland, but perhaps because of the long time, many words have already had some different variations.
This ship is called the Shield of El, and it is a cruise ship that regularly travels between the two major cities in the north and south of the Western Continent. This is a regular voyage. According to the log, they will reach their destination: the city of El after two more days of sailing. "
Mei Tiantian put a book in his hand back into the bookshelf and said, "It seems that Captain Barivian only likes to read some popular novels. There are no books about the history of the continent here."
"No, this book looks very interesting." Xiao Chen picked up a novel called "Burning Queen" from the bookshelf. With his current mental strength, he didn't need to read the book page by page. For this kind of popular article that he didn't need to understand in depth, he only needed to immerse his mental strength in the entire book, and then print the contents of each page into his mind in order from front to back. By the way, he could also make a copy in the meditation world and put it in the library.
"What does this book say?" asked Umeda.
"It tells the story of a girl in a small town hundreds of years ago who discovered that she could touch the power of the devil when she was young. However, touching the power of the devil was not allowed on the entire continent. Such people would be judged as witches or wizards and then burned at the stake. However, her father died early and her mother was ill all year round. She had to raise two younger brothers by herself, and her life was very difficult.
Once she had the help of the devil's power, she could steal food and clothes from the rich people in the town, so that her family would no longer suffer from hunger and cold. So she secretly accepted the devil's gift despite the danger of being burned to death.
Then she began to steal these things from the homes of rich people, and her family soon became better off. But one time when she was committing a crime, she accidentally let a boy in the village discover her secret.
The boy used this secret to blackmail her and wanted to get her body. In order to avoid being discovered by others, she agreed to the boy's request. But after they had sex, she found that the boy had fallen in love with him wholeheartedly.
Then, she found out that this was a gift from the devil. As long as she could make someone like her enough, that person would fall in love with her madly and completely obey her. So she used this ability to conquer useful men around her one by one.
Her power became stronger and stronger, she became more and more beautiful, and she conquered more and more men. In the end, the whole town was under her control, and she became a queen with many men under her skirt.
Later, this matter was leaked by a woman who escaped from the town. This attracted the encirclement of the kingdom's army. She was defeated and captured, but she successfully seduced the general who captured her during the interrogation. When the general was fascinated by her, she asked the general to invite senior officers to a banquet, and conquered everyone at the banquet with a dance. In the end, the general led his troops to rebel and fought a battle with the army that was sent to capture her again. She danced in front of the battle, making the enemy soldiers lose their will to fight, and helped the general win. If she had not been captured by the female assassin of the Witch Tribunal at the last moment, she might have become the real queen with the help of the general's power.
In the end, he was tied to the stake and burned to death in the capital, but when she was burned, a dancing woman appeared in the smoke and dust in the sky, which made those who watched the burning deeply fascinated by her. They rushed to the execution ground, hugged the stake and were burned to death with her.
The captain seemed to like the story very much and wrote comments on many of the wonderful and erotic passages.
After Xiao Chen finished telling the outline of the story, he saw Mei Tiantian looking at him with a red face.
Luo Ling said: "You are really something. Tiantian is still a child, and you are telling such stories here."
Xiao Chen said: "Oh, I forgot about this and thought Tiantian was an adult like us.
But didn't you notice? This story mentioned a custom on this continent that people who use magic will be considered to be working with the devil, and will be arrested or even burned to death. Not only this book, I just scanned several other books, and there are similar plots in them. I guess this is not a fictional thing, but a custom that really existed in history. "
