Chapter 3226 The Haze of Faraines (Twenty-three)

In the Age of Discovery, a certain unlucky sailor or simply a cultist took the book "Water God Ketayat" on board the ship and tested one of the spells in it during the voyage.

This spell brought disaster to the fleet, causing them to encounter a terrible storm and be wiped out in the disaster.

Later, a shipwreck salvage company focused on this destroyed team. After conducting detection, they salvaged part of the hull. Among the salvaged items were a diary written by a crew member on the ship and this terrible book of disaster.

They regarded these items as valuable collections and sold them, which fell into the hands of some private collectors. Later, they were plundered by the British, and the collections were loaded onto ships by the British.

Probably during World War II, someone in a fleet transporting cultural relics to Britain started gambling to pass the boring time. However, the gambler Jeff failed to withstand the temptation and lost almost all his belongings. He may even be in debt.

In order to deal with his creditors, he had to choose to steal the cargo on the ship. Because other collections were not easy to carry and theft was too difficult, he focused on books and successfully stole "Sailor Peake's Diary".

But the theft was not seamless, and was quickly noticed by the first mate. In order to investigate what was missing, the first mate ordered a sailor to check all the books.

The sailor found "Ktaiyat, the God of Water" while flipping through the books, and learned a spell from it.

Jeff was worried that the matter would be exposed, so he tried to frame the theft on the sailor, which successfully aroused the sailor's resentment, causing him to use a spell to cause disaster, and Jeff's fleet was wiped out except for him.

Jeff was regarded as an ominous person, and no one was willing to hire him anymore, until old Siltke, who had woven a series of conspiracies, followed various clues and found the survivors.

Old Siltke got "Sailor Peake's Diary" from Jeff, and learned from this seemingly complete and authentic sailor's diary the so-called correct way to deal with that kind of disaster, that is, don't listen or see.

Feel.

But I'm afraid, this method is wrong.

Jeff obviously had a few tricks up his sleeve.

First of all, Pique's team was wiped out. This diary may have been salvaged rather than passed down from his own hands, which means that the way he concluded to survive the disaster is most likely wrong.

There is a lot of evidence, the most obvious of which is that the ending in the diary may be forged. Someone imitated Peake's handwriting and wrote a happy ending to mislead others into being deceived.

Secondly, Old Siltek only knew that Jeff had the sailor's diary in his hands, but he had no idea that the heavyweight player "Water God Ketayat" was also in his hands and had been hidden by him.

Combining the above two points, it is not difficult to see that old Siltek should have been tricked by Jeff.

Old Siltek got the sailor's diary and summed up the so-called method of safely surviving disasters. This became his confidence. He felt that as long as he mastered this method, he could summon disasters without restraint to cause trouble for others.

This also indulged his ambition and made him feel that he could use the summoned disaster as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms with the church. If the church wanted to know the correct way to overcome the disaster, it would ask him.

If the wrong method makes him feel that he can be alone and profitable, he will naturally find ways to cause disasters to gain more benefits for himself.

But in fact, this method is completely wrong. The so-called people who survived by this method are either dead or did not use this method.

Assuming that the no-feeling approach is wrong, how did Jeff survive?

Schiller took out "The Water God Kthayat", he and Batman looked at each other, and finally said: "This book is alive."

"What's the meaning?"

"Literally, this book may have the soul of a cultist on it." Schiller paused and said: "The cover is also made of his skin. This book can be regarded as a complete person. Can you

Did you see anything?"

Schiller looked at Batman's expression, and he could tell from Batman's expression that Batman thought this was all ridiculous.

But soon, he must have seen something even more ridiculous, and he was completely stunned.

Schiller did not urge him, but waited for him to come to his senses. Batman sighed and said: "Pride tells me that this thing is very evil."

"What type of evil?"

"It can bewitch people."

Schiller figured everything out almost instantly.

He had felt something was wrong before, because what happened to Jeff's family didn't look like it was done by the monsters in the Cthulhu mythology. Many of them had obvious signs of being seduced. Compared with the ignorant old people,

Sun and outer gods, all this is more like man-made.

But in the whole story, it seems that no one is tempting them, but if this book is regarded as a person, then everything can be explained.

I said before that there are two types of cultists. One kind wants no one to covet his knowledge, and the other kind wants to spread filthy knowledge to the whole world. The cultist who lives in the book "Water God Ketayat"

It's possible it's the latter.

Judging from this motive, Jeff may have been bewitched by the cultists. After he came into contact with this book on the fleet where he worked, he was bewitched by the cultists and caused disaster step by step.

Let the entire fleet be wiped out.

But since he wanted to spread knowledge, he couldn't let the book sink to the bottom of the sea with the fleet. With the help of the cultists, Jeff successfully survived and took the book home.

During this period, he may have realized something was wrong, so he buried the book in the corner of the cellar and placed a lot of empty boxes on top.

But this kind of evil spirit is very cunning. He most likely seduced one of Jeff's family members and asked this person to put the feed for the goats in the boxes above his head, and he took the opportunity to contaminate the feed.

The goat went crazy after eating the feed and got lost. The whole family went out to look for it. At this time, the evil spirit took the opportunity to seduce Jeff's little daughter.

The younger daughter was bewitched and spread rumors to the villagers that Jeff's family was crazy, causing them to be driven out of the village to the lighthouse. They eventually killed each other under the clown's persecution and abuse, until the whole family died.

But the cultist probably didn't expect that Jeff didn't take him with him when he left, but left the book in the cellar, and was eventually discovered by Schiller.

The ending of the diary may also have been changed by the cultists who beguiled Jeff or his family, in order to make old Siltek emboldened, thinking that he had a gold medal to avoid death, and thus use spells to summon disasters unscrupulously.

Schiller took out the Bible again.

If nothing unexpected happens, the missing letters in this Bible should be the spell to summon the Deep Ones. Old Siltek used this spell to summon the Deep Ones and wanted to use the situation in the village to

Negotiate with the church.

Schiller and Batman communicated, and their speculations were roughly the same, but they also found things that were temporarily unexplainable through elimination.

For example, how could old Siltke not find out that Peake's team was completely wiped out?

Although there was no modern Internet in the Age of Discovery, the news of the destruction of such a large fleet would definitely go down in history. Didn't he think of checking it when he got the diary?

Also, the inexplicable arrival of the fleet and the figures in the cabin may not be the work of old Silturk.

Bruce and the Pale Knight found an empty house in a wealthy area. It had complete water and electricity facilities and a computer. The owner seemed to be on vacation, and they used this place as their base for temporary rest.

This house is located in the center of the entire affluent area. No matter where there is movement, they can hear it immediately, and it is also convenient for them to make noise and attract the police later.

"When shall we do it?" asked the Pale Knight.

Bruce shook his head and said, "Don't worry, you can prepare the materials. I need to check something."

Bruce started up the computer of the owner of the house, briefly got used to the operation, and then started searching.

"What are you looking for?" the Pale Knight asked as he saw Bruce entering the words "Royal Fleet of Spain" in the search box.

The Pale Knight immediately understood that Bruce might want to find out where the three ships parked on the dock came from.

After the Pale Knight went to prepare things, Bruce had been investigating the news about the sailing battleship.

Through inquiries, he learned that the three ships should be frigates, similar to the security guards in a fleet, specially used to escort cargo ships carrying precious goods on their ocean voyages.

However, even frigates will load some goods for ballast. However, because combat ships may sink, they usually do not load particularly valuable items. Most of them are coarse cloth or ore, and occasionally some low-quality items.

spices.

However, no matter how much I searched, I couldn't find the exact same ship, but it wasn't that long ago, so there shouldn't be any news at all. This made Bruce realize that someone might have blocked the news on purpose.

It's time to take some special measures.

Bruce stared at the screen closely, and after a long while, he finally found a clue. It was a theft case from the Spanish National Museum of History that occurred in the last century, and a large number of unique files were missing.

According to the investigation by U.S. agents, the perpetrators seemed to be the church. However, because there was no conclusive evidence and weird incidents occurred frequently at the time, no one could offend them, so the matter was left unresolved.

It is recorded in the archives that many files were lost, including the design drawings of the ships during the Great Navigation Period, as well as relatively valuable sea trial data, as well as some information from that year.

Since they are all unique copies, there is insufficient photo-retained information, and the Internet is not developed, this theft left a gap in the history of Spain's Age of Discovery for a period of time.

Bruce immediately realized that this was intentional by the church. They probably stole the historical data on the existence of these three frigates in order to cover up what happened at that time.

Even if these three ships appeared on the dock now, Bruce would not think that they had been parked on a small island in the sea for so many years and suddenly appeared recently.

These three ships must have sunk long ago. What is returning now may be ghost ships, or it may be that these three ships were fished out of the bottom of the sea by some mysterious force.

Bruce felt that the church concealed this history in order to bring the three ships back at some point. There must be something they wanted on board, maybe a secret or a treasure.

What could it be?
