In this great maritime world, the human race has never been the true master.
In other words, the goblins have not completely conquered the world, but they have done so before.
Although most of the various traces of their existence have been lost in the long river of history, there are always some left behind, such as the buildings outside.
But such a building has at most some ornamental and artistic value, which cannot be compared with real research ruins.
The so-called research relics should leave at least some data, allowing future generations to deduce the glory of the ancient goblin empire.
It is said that the reason why Insman was able to develop a steam armored navy so quickly was also due to the discovery of the remains of a goblin empire's steam research institute in China.
What Fang Yuan discovered was, firstly, very large, and secondly, it was protected by remaining metal guards. Although he didn't know if it was later used by the Solo Pirates, it was shocking enough.
"It's a pity... Even if there is a complete set of steam ironclad technology here, it is of little use... The gap between an industrial system cannot be caught up in a short time... "
Fang Yuan shook his head, not too surprised.
What he values most is the power that can be used immediately by himself, such as the Sun.
"Ho ho ho!"
The eyes of these metal beasts flashed red, and they roared and rushed forward.
"Block them!"
The butcher roared and rushed to the front.
He had been tranquilized by a native's blow dart before, which was considered a great shame and humiliation. After being rescued, he was filled with anger and needed to vent his anger.
At this time, streams of water appeared on the body, the body shape surged again, and blue scales even appeared on the surface of the skin.
clang!
The giant sword slashed vertically and immediately stopped a metal guard.
"Ocean Salute!"
Several other marine warlocks joined forces, and the azure halo on their bodies turned on.
All around, the original river was boiling, and a large amount of water overflowed, forming a giant blue whale. It opened its mouth and swallowed several metal guards.
"KDPNGIL!"
The last three goblin guards were much faster than ordinary guards. They spoke goblin language and rushed in front of Fang Yuan and others.
"Bind!"
Fang Yuan opened his hands and sent out thin blue threads like spider silk from his ten fingers, which landed on one of the goblin puppets.
Bang bang!
It turned its head stiffly and instantly fought with another goblin puppet.
"Your Excellency Blackbeard, this last one will be left to you!"
Fang Yuan retreated far away, leaving the place to be guarded by Blackbeard and the last goblin.
"Cunning villain!"
Blackbeard was so angry that he gritted his teeth and was very surprised.
This trickster's methods are indeed endless, which makes people extremely fearful.
But he has also served as the pirate governor of the Nightmare Sea, and his personal strength is also one of the top pirates. Of course, he is fearless.
At this time, he drew out a thin stabbing sword and lunged forward. A hole smaller than the little finger appeared on the chest of the puppet opposite.
Woohoo!
A cloud of black smoke suddenly appeared from the puppet on the opposite side, and it was instantly paralyzed.
Obviously, Blackbeard's sword actually pierced the power core of the metal guard.
Bang bang!
At this moment, on the other side, Fang Yuan also controlled the goblin puppet and died together with the other one.
"The Ice Age!"
The marine warlocks started working with all their strength, and a biting cold wind blew by, and several blue-light ice sculptures immediately appeared on the spot.
"It looks like these are just defective metal guards from the Goblin Empire!"
Blackbeard stepped forward and kicked the goblin statue that could no longer move: "Perhaps it was later that the Solo Pirate Group was launched. It's okay to deal with ordinary pirates. If you meet us, hehe..."
Halfway through his words, his words suddenly stopped.
Because Fang Yuan came to the side and groped for a moment on a metal wall. There was a snap, and he didn't know what mechanism was activated.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
Incandescent lights lit up one after another, one after another, illuminating the surroundings like daylight.
The originally dark environment was clearly visible, like a huge cave, but its surface was extremely regular and paved with metal.
Strings of lights are surrounding the surroundings. The light is very abundant, making a certain object extremely conspicuous.
It is a huge steel ship!
In the middle of this huge mountain, a black steel ship unceremoniously occupies most of the volume, like a towering mountain, with an air of oppression of all living beings.
"Hiss..."
Almost all the pirates gasped involuntarily.
At this time, an ordinary sailing ship could reach the sky with a length of 100 meters, while steam ironclads were all large, ranging from 100 to 200 meters.
But this ship, just by visual inspection, is probably three hundred meters long, and it is a well-deserved giant on the sea at this time.
The most important thing is that the shape of this ship is simple, and I don't know what kind of metal it is made of. Although it is dull and dull, there are not many traces of rust after being stored for so long.
"It seems that it is the ancient magic battleship - the Sun!"
Fang Yuan let out a long sigh: "I don't know how it was transported in!"
The small river outside is only one or two meters wide, and the hole is not very big. Only an idiot would believe that it is the access channel for this ship.
"The Sun is here, the treasure of the Solo Pirates must be on it!"
Blackbeard's eyes were wild as he came to the side of the Sun and quickly climbed up.
This ship is entirely made of some unknown metal, and the deck is densely packed with gun barrels that can crawl into people, making people's scalp numb just by looking at it.
"The treasure map is here. Are there any instructions?"
Blackbeard was waiting on the deck and couldn't help but ask when he saw Fang Yuan coming up.
"let me see… "
Fang Yuan took out the treasure map.
On the drawing at this time, all the original routes had disappeared, replaced by a brand new route map.
At the end of the road map, there is the mark of a key.
"Key to the Sun! The core hub of the entire Sun..."
He muttered these words.
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, Blackbeard turned into a bolt of lightning and grabbed the treasure map with one hand.
"black beard!"
Fang Yuan seemed to have been prepared for this. He retracted his right hand and the treasure map disappeared in an instant.
But Blackbeard did not slow down and rushed directly into the cabin.
"From now on, this Blackbeard is the enemy..."
Fang Yuan let out a long breath, having already expected Blackbeard's betrayal.
A well-known pirate governor, even with the previous agreement, his behavior these days is indeed a bit abnormal.
For pirates, abiding by agreements and rules is a joke.
Therefore, the real purpose of Blackbeard's stay during this period is the treasure of the Solo Pirates, which he has shown no interest in before, especially the Sun!
How could a legendary pirate not have his own legendary flagship
If he can get these, Blackbeard will undoubtedly have the capital to rise again.
Therefore, during this period of time, he has been arguing with Fang Yuanxu!
The real purpose is here!
"Speaking of which... Blackbeard once had possession of a fragment of a treasure map. It makes sense that he had investigated it beforehand... "
Fang Yuan waved his hand: "Let's follow!"
For Blackbeard, this is a desperate adventure, but for Fang Yuan, it is just an ordinary exploration, and his mood is naturally different.
Moreover, after seeing the treasure map, Blackbeard rushed into the cabin like crazy, undoubtedly saving Fang Yuan a lot of trouble.
After all, it is really hard to find a master who is so capable and willing to lead the way without fear of death.
"However, Blackbeard thought he had seen everything just now, but he really made a mistake... Follow me!"
At this time, Fang Yuan chuckled and walked into the cabin.
On the treasure map held in his hand, a trace of brilliance appeared, and there was actually a follow-up text message.
…
Because he had a map and Blackbeard leading the way, Fang Yuan walked very easily.
Along the way, you can occasionally see a few broken guards. They are obviously the original guards who were violently dismantled by Blackbeard.
Otherwise, Blackbeard's only hope at this time is to seize the Key to the Sun and become the master of the Sun. This must be done quickly.
Otherwise, even if he can escape the pursuit of these pirates on land, he will definitely not be a match for the ghost ship when he is alone on the sea.
Therefore, Blackbeard at this time can be said to have exerted all his strength.
"Tsk tsk... I didn't expect that Blackbeard is not only proficient in black magic, he is also very good at stabbing and fencing..."
Fang Yuan was confident at this time and even deliberately slowed down a bit.
The guards inside the Sun were mostly metal machines. They were not strictly guarded. At most, they were just a small test left by the predecessors.
"Tsk... This seems to be a digestive mechanism that was destroyed by Blackbeard. Be careful..."
"Such a thick metal door was directly broken? It seems that either some forbidden technique was used, or some disposable items were used!"
"Looking at the cutting marks, it should be a trap like a laser. Blackbeard's personal strength is pretty good!"
…
The more traces are left along the way, and all the information about Blackbeard becomes extremely rich under Fang Yuan's puzzle pieces.
At the end, after passing through a door full of science fiction and avant-garde style, Fang Yuan and others arrived at the core power room of the Sun.
There, Blackbeard's eyes were greedy, staring at the silver-white key suspended in a beam of light.
"The Key of the Sun, control the core of the Sun!"
He murmured obsessively and directly stretched out his palm: "As long as you master the Sun and the most terrifying cannon, any steam ironclad will be vulnerable!"
"Blackbeard, you betrayed our agreement."
Fang Yuan came in and shouted loudly.
"Only an idiot would believe a pirate's promise!!!"
Although Blackbeard looked very miserable, there was a hint of pride on his face, and he thrust his palms into the beam of light without stopping at all!
