He Xiaoxi pointed to the Southern Islands and drew a circle and said, "The last news I found about the Spirit Tower was on the territory of the Sea Clan. According to the records of the Temple of Nature, they had an army following the last Saint of the Spirit Tower, Adriana, to the Pearl Islands, but the pursuit team, including the two saints, disappeared without a trace. Of course, there was no news about Saint Adriana after that, and no one knew the result of the battle. Many people speculated that it was a decisive battle at sea where both sides died.
But I also noticed that soon after that, the legend of ghost ships began to spread in the Pearl Islands. Occasionally, ships would disappear on the route, and then be seen sailing in that sea many years later. It is said that when those long-lost ships were seen, there were no crew members, but they would control the sails and sail in the sea. Such ghost ships often turned a blind eye to ordinary merchant ships, but would actively attack pirate ships. When they approached the pirate ships, many ghosts would appear from above, entangle the pirates, and make them jump into the sea in fear in the hallucinations. When all the crew members on the pirate ship died, the pirate ship would join the ghost fleet and become one of the ghost ships hunting other pirates. Doesn't this look like the style of the Spirit Tower?"
Master Gordon was a little puzzled and said, "I have heard of the story of the ghost ship, but as far as I know, pirates are still emerging in the Pearl Islands, and the story of the ghost ship seems to be a rumor without any basis."
Xiao Chen said: "If you were the remnant of the Spirit Tower, would you act in a high-profile manner? Or should you act secretly, slowly accumulate strength, and let others treat you as a nonsense? Pirates are elusive and avoid being seen. Sailing on the sea is also very dangerous. Once a storm occurs, the ship will be destroyed and people will die. Therefore, making a few pirate ships disappear from time to time will not attract anyone's attention. But if you make too much fanfare, won't you expose yourself to the eyes of the Temple of Nature?"
Gordon nodded.
Luo Ling said: “Speaking of this, I remembered an anecdote I saw in the Kingdom Library.
It is said that more than 300 years ago, there was a great pirate leader who wanted to attack a city in the southern city-state. He ordered his four fleets to gather together in a certain sea area, and then landed together to attack the city. However, one fleet had not arrived for a whole day after the assembly date. The pirate leader thought they had encountered bad weather and could only continue to wait for them.
However, that night, the fleet suddenly appeared, but there was no crew on the seven or eight ships, but there were many glowing shapes swaying on the ships. These things were also able to control the sailboats. They seemed to have no weight, so the ships were very fast. Once they approached the pirates' ships, they began to attack with magic.
The pirate's fleet was in a tough fight, because once his soldiers fell, ghostly figures would stand up from their bodies and join the ghosts on the other side. In this way, his men and ships became fewer and fewer, while the enemy's men and ships became more and more. In the end, the pirate fled in a panic under the cover of two ships, but finally ran into the joint fleet of the southern city-states.
Naturally, they were easily wiped out by the combined fleet of the southern city-states. Before being hanged by the mayor of that city, the pirate told this story, but no one believed him. Everyone thought that there was a fight among them and he was just defeated by his own people. But a clerk recorded his story. What do you think? "
"It really looks like the battle in the Spirit Gathering List." Glade said, "I just rely on the Holy Scripture to achieve this effect. But as far as I know, the saints of the Spirit Tower have more than one kind of magic to achieve similar effects. And Adriana is known as the Lycoris Radiata that grows on the boundary between life and death. If it's her, she should be able to do this easily."
"You also have the concept of Lycoris radiata?" Luo Ling asked curiously.
Glade said, "This is the name of a flower written in the Spirit Tower's tome. It's also called the other shore flower. Because the Spirit Tower is originally a magic tower that connects life and death, so they like to use this kind of name to give nicknames."
Luo Ling and Xiao Chen exchanged glances. It seemed that the Spirit Tower was also related to the time travelers.
Xiao Chen said: "It seems that if we want to find the Spirit Tower, we must go to the Pearl Islands. It is convenient to find the Pearl Islands, go to the Dwarf Kingdom, and finally reach the Sea of Ice and Snow."
He Xiaoxi continued: "There is another place that we can go all the way to, that is the Western Continent where the Tower of Origin is located."
"Western Continent?" Several people present couldn't help but shout out.
The Western Continent is naturally another continent relative to the continent where everyone is. Further west of the Pearl Islands, across the entire Raging Sea, there is a much smaller continent than the Eastern Continent. That is the Western Continent. This continent is completely unknown to most people in the Eastern Continent. For the few people who know about the existence of the Western Continent, it is just a concept. Because in the area further west of the Pearl Islands, the sea conditions and weather are extremely bad, as if the gods deliberately placed a barrier there.
Existing ships can hardly cross that sea, and only a few explorers have crossed that sea in history, all of whom suffered heavy losses, but the travel notes and observation notes they brought back made people lose interest in that place. Desolate wilderness, vast forests, and ragged people.
The feats of those explorers may cause a wave of enthusiasm for the new world in a short period of time, but this wave is rootless and will soon fade away. No one will remember these things if there is no follow-up progress after one or two years. If there is smooth transportation between the two continents, something like the colonization of America on Earth may happen. However, the journey of life and death, coupled with the fact that there is nothing worth pursuing on that continent, made the kings, nobles and priests have no interest in it.
It is more backward, more barbaric, easier to conquer, and has various resources, but even after development and occupation, it is not worth trading. Therefore, the East and West continents have almost never interacted with each other. The people of the East Continent don't know how the people of the West Continent view them, but in their eyes, the people of the West Continent are completely barbaric, and their level of civilization may not even be as good as the orcs in the north.
