Super Dimensional Wizard
Chapter 708: Substituting one thing for another
When he first boarded the Yunluo, Angel noticed the portrait on the bow. However, he didn't look carefully at that time, and stayed in the house for most of the month. Speaking of which, this was the first time he had been so close to the bow of a ship.
Compared with the peace and tranquility of the praying girl on the Bauhinia, the bow image of the Yunluo is a little more evil and flamboyant.
The beautiful siren with snake hair looks like the prow image that pirate ships like to use.
While Angel was paying attention to the portrait on the ship's bow, Helen was still asking about Nausicaa: "May I ask, sir, is Mr. Asberu in Fan Continent now?"
Helen's tone was full of reverence and yearning.
Angel was still paying attention to the portrait on the bow of the ship, and said smoothly: "She has some things to deal with. Maybe she is still in Fan Continent, or she just found a country and got angry."
Hearing Angel's words, Helen secretly wondered whether she should continue to ask about Nausicaa. She turned her head hesitantly, only to find Angel looking at the bow of the ship curiously.
"Your Excellency, are you interested in Medosa?"
"Medosa?"
"That's the name of this snake-haired sea monster. According to legend, she lives in the devil's sea and likes to feed on human brains. Anyone who looks directly into her eyes will turn into stone." Helen said: "Because of her She is fierce and evil, so many ships like to set her image as a bow statue to deter sea beasts.”
"However, I don't think it is of any use. The sea monster will come anyway." Helen shook her head: "Also, the story of Medosa, the snake-haired sea monster, is just an unfounded legend. Anyway, our colleagues at Baibei Shipping Company, including me, I have never seen her before."
"According to what you said, if Medosa is really so cruel, everyone who sees her will turn to stone, so the news will naturally not spread." Angel added casually, "However, I am quite fond of this sea monster. I have no interest, what I am interested in is..."
"Huh?" Helen looked over curiously.
Angel did not continue speaking, but quietly looked at the palm position of the statue of Medosa. She was holding a conch with a light purple gem on the top of the conch.
At the first glance when he boarded the ship, Angel vaguely felt that there was a faint aura of nightmare surrounding the conch. He thought that the gem was the same as the gem between the eyebrows of the praying girl on the Bauhinia. It was a nightmare stone.
Roman later confirmed this.
But now when Angel looked again, he found that the nightmare energy surrounding the conch had actually faded, so thin that it was almost nonexistent.
Is the nightmare energy restrained? Although Angel himself does not have a Nightmare Stone, he is not unfamiliar with its properties. Once a Nightmare Stone is used, it is impossible to contain its aura.
Maybe the nightmare power of the nightmare stone is not enough?
No matter what kind of speculation it is, it is an obvious fact that the Nightmare Stone has changed.
Angel closed his eyes quietly. After about a minute, he opened his eyes, and a faint light flowed out from his pupils.
At the same time, in the field of vision invisible to others, countless information symbols floated from the statue of Medosa, the snake-haired siren not far away. These information symbols gathered quickly and finally fell into the "server" structured in Angel's thinking space.
After a while, Angel's brows gradually frowned.
"Sir, what are you looking at? Is it the nightmare stone on the conch?" Helen's voice suddenly reached Angel's ears.
"You also know about Nightmare Stone?"
"Yes, when you encounter a powerful and invincible sea beast, you will open the nightmare stone. However, the sea is very vast. We have been at sea for so many years, and the chance of opening this nightmare stone is very low. As far as I know, Yunluo seems to be only ten It was opened once years ago to avoid a giant emperor squid."
"It was activated once ten years ago and then never again?"
"That's right."
Angel suddenly laughed: "Perhaps, it won't be able to start in the future."
Helen didn't know what Angel meant, and looked confused.
"Has anyone moved this nightmare stone in recent times?" Angel asked.
Helen hesitated for a moment: "No one should have touched it."
"Then within a month, have any extraordinary people besides me and Roman boarded the Yunluo?"
Helen still shook her head, "No."
"Oh." Angel nodded clearly, squinting at the nightmare air blown away by the wind: "Go back, the sea breeze is too cold, it's not good to get sick."
After saying that, Angel turned around and walked towards the cabin.
Helen glanced at the bow of the ship in confusion. She didn't know what Angel meant, but she also knew that she was not qualified to ask Angel questions, so she simply shook her head and walked into the room.
After separating from Helen, Angel returned to his room expressionlessly.
As soon as he returned to his room, he heard a strong wind outside the window and the sound of cloth fluttering as his robes blew.
Angel came to the balcony and saw a figure landing on the bow of the ship. At the same time, the man turned his head and looked at Angel. It was Roman.
Roman's eyes were obscure, but the middle-aged man transformed by Angel had a signature expression of decadence and laziness, waving to Roman lazily.
Roman's mental tentacles touched the nightmare stone of the ship's bow to make sure that no one had touched it, and the big stone in his heart dropped slightly.
At the same time, the two looked at each other for more than ten seconds.
Roman used lip language to whisper a few words, then flew to the fourth floor again and disappeared.
Angel remembered the lip language and imitated it in a funny way: "Mind your own business?"
It seemed that Roman himself was not only suspicious and ill, but also quite cautious... He and Helen stood on the side of the ship chatting for a while. They were at least ten meters away from the bow of the ship, and the other party was about to come down immediately to confirm.
It's said to be cautious, but in fact it's more of a guilty conscience.
Because Angel has not forgotten that the result he just identified using the Eye of Narda, what Medosa held in her hand was not a nightmare stone at all, but a "psychedelic gem".
Psychedelic gems are non-advanced materials with some illusory functions.
Compared to something as precious as the Nightmare Stone, it is simply incomparable.
Since Helen once said that the Yunluo activated the Nightmare Stone ten years ago, it means that at least Medosa had a Nightmare Stone in her hand. Moreover, according to Angel's own judgment, the faint remnant of nightmare aura is enough to show that the nightmare stone was replaced with a psychedelic gemstone within a month.
Angel didn't dare to confirm who changed it at first. Even if Helen said that only he and Roman had boarded the ship, there was always a slight margin for error. Maybe when the Yunluo was parked in the port, a transcendent person secretly visited at night. Therefore, he just doubted whether Roman did it.
But now I see Roman nervously running to check, coupled with an inexplicable warning.
There is no doubt that Roman committed theft.
As a guest, Angel didn't want to expose Roman. In the middle of nowhere, Roman, as the top commander of the Yunluo, would be of no use even if he exposed him.
Angel was suddenly curious. Since Roman dared to do this, had he thought about how to deal with the aftermath?
It doesn't matter to mortals, if someone from Machinery City investigates it, how should he respond?
Suddenly, Angel became a little worried about the prospects of the Yunluo.
…
In the next few days, the Yunluo sailed forward steadily. Although there were occasional bumps, under the calm command of the two captains, the ship sailed smoothly and calmly.
However, what is more puzzling is that Angel has noticed in the past few days that the Yunluo has never encountered a sea monster.
Only the climate is relatively harsh, and the sea beasts seem to have disappeared.
But Angel's confusion didn't last long when suddenly there were shouts outside: "There are sea beasts!"
Angel was immersing his mental power in the bracelet and discussing the tailoring and style of clothes with Ayato Nami. ——Although Nano’s color and aesthetics are problematic, his basic hard skills as a tailor craftsman are still very solid.
As soon as he heard the shouting outside, Angel immediately withdrew his mental power, stood up and looked outside.
At the end of the ocean, there was a huge sea beast that looked like a python, its body looming on the surface of the sea, and it was speeding towards the Yunluo.
Angel wasn't too sure about the name of this sea snake, but the energy fluctuations it emitted indicated its level: peak apprentice.
Angel stood on the balcony and watched the python swim over from a distance.
But he didn't take action. Since Roman wanted the resources of these sea beasts so much, he might as well let him deal with them.
But when the python was less than a kilometer away from the Yunluo, Roman still didn't make any move.
The mortals on the deck were already looking back frequently, with doubts and fear in their eyes.
Vice Captain Helen was also on the deck directing personnel dispatch, looking for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com. At the same time, she glanced upward from the corner of her eye. She saw Roman on the balcony on the fourth floor and Pat on the third floor.
However, she knew something fishy, so she mainly looked at Roman and wondered why Roman hadn't made any move yet.
But Roman's face was expressionless, looking into the distance indifferently, while a slight sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.
Helen looked at that smile and suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
Her eyes immediately turned to Angel, with pleading and prayer in her eyes.
Angel naturally noticed Helen's eyes, but he still didn't take action until he was sure of Roman's attitude. I just have some doubts in my heart. Could it be that Helen just let it go because she had a grudge against the sea beast last time?
Seeing the sea snake getting closer and closer, its vicious fangs and bloody mouth have opened... The sailors on the ship have screamed in fear.
"Mr. Roman, why didn't you take action?" Angel asked.
After a while, Roman's voice reached the ears of everyone present: "The last time I dealt with that sea beast, I suffered a slight illness. I have not recovered yet. This sea snake may be difficult to deal with. It is better for the captain to change the route and deviate from its path." track."
After listening to Helen's words, Angel thought to himself: It is indeed so.
His injury has not healed? The surging energy fluctuations can deceive ordinary people, but how can they hide it from extraordinary beings.
How could it be possible to deviate from the route now? His attitude was completely disregarding the lives of mortals on the ship, and the ship might even be destroyed. Is this guy crazy? Or is he already planning to give up on these mortals after secretly exchanging nightmare stones?
"Oh, it seems it's too late to change the route. It's okay. It doesn't matter that I was injured. Isn't there an adult on board?"
Roman's eyes squinted at Angel on the terrace below.
