Richard looked at the drift bottle and the sealing wax, and a thought flashed across his mind: Since the sealing wax contains hallucinogenic substances, it obviously cannot be baked. In this case, why not... just do it.
With his eyes focused, Richard picked up the knife, then held the knife and pierced the extremely hard, stone-like sealing wax with the tip of the knife.
"Tick, click, click…"
Richard began to scrape off the sealing wax with great effort. After spending a lot of effort, he finally scraped off all the sealing wax.
Carefully collecting the scraped sealing wax, Richard uncorked the bottle, turned the bottle mouth downwards, poured out the contents in the bottle, and saw that it was a piece of parchment.
Well, a piece of parchment.
parchment.
Paper.
The parchment was not very big, and obviously there couldn't be many words recorded on it. After reading it, Li Cha couldn't help but have a bad feeling.
By the way, is this drift bottle really just a drift bottle
Although this statement is weird, if the bottle with special sealing wax taken from the body of a giant squid is really a drift bottle, then the behavior of the person who made the drift bottle is too weird.
Admittedly, Richard didn't think that the contents on the parchment would have any of the more distinctive words on modern earth: "Brother, do you want to hang up?", "I'm lonely, I hope someone will accompany me", "Whoever picked up the bottle immediately sent ten similar messages" The contents of the bottle, otherwise you will die tragically on the street and both your parents will die" and "Ms. Bao, please contact XXX".
But it's hard to say whether the parchment will say "Ask for a blue sea stone. If you are interested, come to Coast College to find the wizard Molly", "Fanny, when I become the most powerful wizard, I will go to see you", "This is the squid I raised. If it gets lost, please contact Wizard Green of Moon Bay."
No... Is that really what it is? That would be funny.
Richard took a deep breath, unfolded the parchment rolled into a thin roll on the table, and looked at it.
At the first sight, Richard breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not the worst expected.
But then, Richard frowned again, because... he didn't recognize the words on the parchment at all.
Yes, I don’t know.
It is true that he has learned many languages in the past many years, but due to the geographical location of the Blue Lion Kingdom, he cannot say that he has learned all the languages in the current world, and the parchment is written in an unknown language.
If you don’t understand the language, you won’t be able to understand the content of the text, so it will have little value.
Unless, the unknown text can be studied and understood. And this text may be a made-up code text that is only used by a few people, so there is almost no possibility of studying it and understanding it.
In this case…
"So, is it really equivalent to a drift bottle, and an empty and meaningless drift bottle?" Richard murmured. Although the drift bottle was originally an unexpected gain, he was still a little disappointed at this moment.
However, Richard sorted out his mood in time, his eyes flashed, and he said: "No matter what, there is still something to gain."
Yes, there are gains.
The first harvest is the organization of giant squid, which has great research significance for the future.
The second gain was a strong white thread of dozens of centimeters long and of unknown material. It was a good weapon for strangling someone.
The third gain is a sturdy glass bottle that can hold things.
The fourth harvest, the sealing wax of the glass bottle can induce hallucinations.
The fifth harvest, text on parchment, awaits study.
If you count it carefully, you can see that there are not many gains, but... it is not of much use at present.
Richard thought so and prepared to put things away. When he picked up the glass bottle, he glanced subconsciously into the glass bottle. Suddenly, he saw complex patterns on the inner wall of the glass bottle.
"Magic pattern?" Richard guessed, slowly turning the glass bottle, trying to see more parts, and then nodded and confirmed, "Well, it's magic pattern."
The inner wall of the glass bottle is clearly carved with magic patterns.
It seems that it is still an extremely complex magic pattern, similar to the complexity of the magic pattern in the crystal skull. Although it is not clear what the function of this magic pattern is, it can be guessed that it must not be simple. It is very possible that the giant squid values this magic pattern. Maybe it's this magic pattern that stimulates the giant squid to extend its life, grow in size, and become stronger.
After all, the rest of the things—white thread, glass bottles, sealing wax, and incomprehensible parchment—didn't look like they would be useful to the giant squid. Only this magic pattern was the only explanation.
This can be regarded as the sixth harvest, and its specific function can be studied carefully.
…
The night continues.
Accompanied by the familiar vibration, he succeeded in leaving the body. Richard controlled his consciousness to float upwards, penetrated the layers of wood, and reached the deck.
Here, Richard saw that three of the four wizards had left the body. The conscious body was hanging dozens of meters in the air outside the cabin with its eyes closed, gently swaying, and was absorbing free energy elements from the outside world to replenish the previous and giant... The consumption of squid fighting.
As for the other wizard, what Richard didn't realize was that there was no consumption or meditation. He should be guarding the meditation of the three wizards to prevent sudden attacks. Although this kind of worry is often unnecessary, sometimes it can save lives.
Richard was not interested in the four wizards and did not want to get close. After all, whether they were conscious or physical, their perception was not weak. If they got close, they would have a high chance of being discovered. So Richard quickly floated towards the sea outside the giant ship, and quickly moved away.
Not long after, Richard had reached a position far away from the giant wheel. In the night, the giant wheel had turned into a blurry shadow, making it difficult to identify. However, with the connection of the transparent belt on the back of the neck, the conscious body can return to the physical body on the giant wheel at any time, so there is no need to worry.
The reason why Richard came to this location was, on the one hand, to stay away from the wizard and absorb free energy elements, and on the other hand, he wanted to check out the scene where the wizard had fought. Although the wizard had won the battle, whether the giant squid escaped or died was still a question. Out of curiosity, Richard wanted to find out.
However, Richard glanced around and found only some pieces of flesh and blood that had fallen from the giant squid and a faint trace of blood at the corresponding location, but did not find the giant squid's body.
"Did it sink into the water?" Richard guessed.
Although according to buoyancy, when a squid dies, its body should float on the water, but it is impossible to say that the giant squid has a special structure and sinks directly to the bottom of the sea after death.
With this thought, Richard controlled his consciousness and dived towards the sea.
The moment he dived in, Richard felt a slight chill, followed by a weak viscous feeling, which was the resistance brought by the sea water.
Richard ignored it and controlled his consciousness to dive deeper and deeper.
Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters...
One hundred meters, two hundred meters, three hundred meters...
…
After a while, Richard controlled his conscious body to surface, feeling slightly disappointed - he did not find the giant squid's body.
"So you escaped?" Richard thought in his mind. He shook his head and decided not to waste time. He controlled his consciousness to rise into the air and began to absorb free energy elements to replenish consumption.
…
And not long after Richard took off, at a place far away from the giant ship, there was a "crash", the water surface broke, and the giant squid, covered with scars, extremely weak, and greatly reduced in strength, slowly floated up.
But before the giant squid had time to do anything, its body suddenly froze, because it suddenly discovered that a black shadow fell silently on its head, and the terrifying aura that overflowed made it completely unable to move. In its perception, the other party seemed to be more powerful than those who had seriously injured him before.
this…
The black shadow stood upright, wearing a thick black robe. Under the hood of the black robe was a pair of oily green burning eyes. Looking in a certain direction in the darkness, he murmured: "Although it took some time, fortunately I still caught up. People in the White Stone Tower, are you ready?"
After speaking, the shadow looked down at the giant squid he had settled on, looked at it with strange eyes, and asked: "Lovely pets, do you think they are ready?"
The giant octopus remained motionless: "..."
"So he is also an idiot." The black shadow shook his head as if he had lost interest. The next moment, his body twisted and disappeared from the body of the giant octopus like mist.
The extremely weak giant squid breathed a sigh of relief and was about to escape. But then it felt an indescribable force erupting in its body, and it didn't even have time to scream. The next moment, its body was torn apart by the explosive power, and exploded into a large piece of plasma with a "bang".
…
After a while, there was a slight sound of footsteps from a corner of the giant ship, as if something was boarding the ship.
A voice said to himself: "Well, let's have some fun down there. White Stone Tower, what you put me through back then, I will give back to you bit by bit..."
