The water is stagnant water, full of stench. When the fluorite fell, you could clearly see the black flocs floating in the water.
Soon, Fluorite hit the bottom.
The huge shadow at the bottom of the lake also revealed its true colors.
"This is... a boat?" The tattered canvas was stuck to the wooden post, languishing in the water. The bare mast frame, the black sediment hanging from it, and the faintly visible cabin all suggest that this is a sunken ship.
Shipwrecks are not uncommon, but it is very strange to sink at the bottom of this lake.
The area of this lake is not small, but Angel had circled it before and did not find any exit to the sea. With no tributaries connected to the sea outside, how did the ship sink? Or, how did the ship get to the lake
There will never be a boatman repairing a boat by the lake for no reason. After repairing the boat, he found that he could not go out, and finally sank.
Just thinking about this possibility made Angel feel stupid.
No boatman would go to a dead lake to repair a ship, and from the glimpse just now, the ship should be a cargo ship. The journey of the cargo ship is endless ocean, and it is impossible to live in this small lake.
So how did this ship come about
Angel decided to go down to the lake to explore.
The purification field was turned on, shielding the surrounding filth. Angel wandered around the bottom of the lake to confirm that there was no so-called secret passage in the lake, and then returned to the sunken ship.
The location of the wreck is right in the center of the lake, and when I look down on the lake, I feel that the ship is very large. But the real close contact with the bottom of the water, the size of this ship is not as big as imagined, even smaller than the Yunluo, probably similar to the Lingfan.
The standard of the ship is indeed a freighter, but which era is the ship, Angel can't judge. If Helen or Arwen were here, they would probably be able to give the answer.
Angel got into the cabin to explore, and there were foul-smelling black floes everywhere. In the light of the fluorite, there was nothing to prove the identity of the ship.
When Angel came to the bottom cabin, he found that the centerline stringer of the keel was broken, and broken wood was floating in the water.
Judging from the cracks, it seems that the strong impact force caused the longitudinal beam to break.
But this scar is on the bottom of the boat, and there is almost nothing that can cause such a large impact except for the giant sea beast. But there are no sea beasts in this lake, not even living creatures.
So how did the crack in the bottom of the ship come about
Except for one after another, Angel couldn't find anything of value on the ship. Even the cargo on the ship was empty, and there was nothing in the captain's room.
Angel could only give up and returned to the lake.
Aside from the origin of this ship, there are currently two doubts about this ship. Why did it sink to the bottom of a dead lake with no way out? And, who caused the bottom keel to break
There are no sea beasts in the lake, so where does the bottom-up impact come from
"It never fell from the sky, right?" Angel muttered, and suddenly the whole person was stunned.
A flash of light flashed in his mind, as if he had caught a clue.
He hung silently in the air, seemingly motionless on the surface, but in his brain, the memory box was quickly flipping through the past memories, and then combined with what he saw after entering this area.
"Why can't it fall from the sky? Ling Fan can go to the foggy area from here, and then disappear from the foggy area back here, doesn't it explain some problems." Angel opened his brain hole and guessed the inside possible fact.
Angel raised his head and looked at the dark sky.
Perhaps in this strange area, the space is extremely unstable, and boats fall into it from time to time. And one day, a crack in space appeared above the lake, and the ship fell directly from the sky.
Then the violent impact broke the bottom stringer, causing the ship to sink.
"Falling from the sky can explain why cargo ships appear in lakes without tributaries. It can also explain why the bottom of the ship breaks."
Angel's eyes wandered to the iron pot on the stand on the shore, and a picture was made up in his brain. Perhaps when the ship fell, all the people inside had not died. Some people survived by chance, swam to the shore, and built a stove.
"But even if someone survives, there is no food to be found in this dead place. In the end, there must be only death." Angel thought to himself that perhaps the bones of those who survived were nearby.
There is no light, no food, and even the water source is filthy. Falling down, they are sure that they are still injured and can't run very far.
Sure enough, soon Toby brought back two bones from a few hundred meters away.
It is worth mentioning that Angel found an iron box necklace on the neck of a skeleton. This kind of iron box necklace, he once saw some sailors wearing the same necklace on the Yunluo.
The sailors themselves knew very well that when they sought a living at sea, they would have to suffer a precarious end. Therefore, it is necessary to leave a suicide note when setting sail.
And this iron box necklace is actually similar to a suicide note. The iron box usually contains the sailor's personal information and precious items. Sailors hoped that if their bones were found, the discoverer would be able to identify him by the contents of the iron box, and then send their bones back to their hometowns.
The precious items in the iron box are the trading materials they prepared for the discoverers.
If the discoverer takes away the precious item, it means that he has accepted the promise, but if he only takes the item and does nothing, he will suffer the curse of the deceased for revenge. Of course, this is just a legend and has no basis.
The boat at the bottom of the lake, Angel couldn't find any clues. He thought about it, maybe he could find some clues in this iron box necklace.
The iron box is not big, it is estimated to be one-third the size of the palm of an adult. The outside iron sheet has been decayed, revealing rust-red mottled traces.
The tin box was opened, and a cloud of dust was expelled. After the dust settled, what was in the box appeared in front of Angel.
A chipped ruby ring, and a piece of parchment folded down to size.
The ring is a common thing, it is estimated that it is the money to buy bones and return home.
Angel opened the parchment, wanting to see what identity this person was and whether it had anything to do with the sinking ship.
On the top of the parchment, the identity of the owner of the skeleton is recorded, named Geblin Frando, whose hometown is in the Red Maple Country of the Magic Eaves Promenade...
The handwriting of the personal information is very neat, it is estimated that it was written before the sailing. But at the bottom of the personal information, it was written extremely scribbly, and it should have been hurriedly explained before his death.
When Angel read all the content, his expression flashed.
His guess was right.
The sunken ship was called Yefu. It was originally a cargo ship bound for the mainland of Phelan from the magic eaves promenade. When it passed through the Cogwheel Abyss, it suddenly fell into the fog. Before they could reflect it, it fell from the sky and hit this dead lake. among. Ships perish, people perish. Geblin survived by luck, but lacking water, he stayed here for a while, and after writing this sentence, he also slept here forever with the Yefu.
In addition to these pieces of information, Angel also got two additional pieces of information from the vellum.
One is time. The time when Yefu fell into this lake was three hundred years ago, which was actually not that long. The second is that Geblin was in the last row and wrote a sentence in a doubtful tone:
"Am I dazzled? Why, I saw a shadow, his dress is so similar to the legendary King of Violence?"
The legendary tyrannical king
If this wasn't Goblin's hallucination before he died, does it mean that there is another person here
Angel suddenly remembered the dark shadow he saw not long ago. Could that shadow be the so-called King of Violence
If it is true, then the other party has lived for hundreds of years.
Whether it is or not, Angel also has a 12-point spirit, and in this weird place, he can't relax at all.
He stuffed the parchment and ring back into the tin box and put it back on the neck of the skeleton. He had no plans to bring Goblin's skeleton back to his hometown. If the Magic Eaves Promenade is a place where he can go along the way, it is fine for him to do good deeds, but unfortunately the Magic Eaves Promenade is completely different from the Revelation Continent where he is going.
Angel was about to leave this lake. The pressure of the true knowledge wizard made him feel like a mountain. He must find Lucas' treasure as soon as possible, and then leave here.
With Toby, Angel continued to speed down.
It didn't take long for them to leave the mountainous area, and Angel also vaguely felt the coast on the other side of the island. Because the stench from the wind became stronger, which meant that they were not far from the sea.
In this area, Angel also walked around, and there was no trace of anyone except dead wood.
But when Angel emerged from a withered palm forest, his expression suddenly froze.
In front of him was the coast, but it was much more lively than the coast behind the cliff where the Ling Fan was stranded. Because in Angel's line of sight, he saw countless... ships!
All kinds of ships, expedition ships, icebreakers, cargo ships, cruise ships, sailing ships, pirate ships... There are almost everything, but these ships are all full of old-fashioned atmosphere, almost exactly the same as the Ling Fan, and they all died here.
Some of the boats also had the light of fluorite, which made the coast not look too bleak.
But the light of these fluorites, combined with the lifeless ships, made people feel uncomfortable. Just like in the dark mountain forest, you can't see anything, but at this moment, a pile of phosphorous fire suddenly rises, and the sense of horror will be amplified.
"This place is completely the tomb of the ship." Angel whispered secretly.
If the Yefu is due to the instability of the space, it falls into this strange dead place. What about the boat here? Is it also because the space is unstable? But even if it is unstable, it should land in various areas like Yefu and Lingfan, not all piled up on this coast
Moreover, Angel flew in a straight line from the other end of the island where Ling Fan was located; in the process, he did not find any place to hide treasure. It can't be said that this tomb of the ship is Lucas' treasure, right
Angel was completely at a loss.
There are more and more suspicions surrounding this strange island.
