The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After leaving the ship hired by Jason, Leo and Sylvia did not go to the other three ships to interrogate the other three Jason's colleagues, because it is not difficult to see from Jason's situation that these four people were in their The status in Light of Organization Civilization is not very high, and they know about the same things. Asking one is equivalent to asking everyone.

"They are not the main force." After returning to the cabin of the Beloved, Sylvia suddenly said a word without beginning or end.

However, Leo understood the meaning of Sylvia's words, nodded slightly in agreement, and then said: "The best place to collect energy information is the center of the battlefield, so Kajilan's gold ship and the Pirate Alliance's There should be quite a few non-humans masquerading as humans on board."

"It's a bit messy." Sylvia rubbed her forehead and said.

"Although it's messy, it won't affect us. The things we prepared can still be useful." Leo smiled confidently, and said excitedly: "I'm looking forward to it more and more."

"Me too." Sylvia showed the same excited look on her face, as if she couldn't wait to see what she and Leo prepared were used on the gods of this world. It is a great cause to be proud of in any world.

Time passed by little by little, although it should have been daytime, but the sky was still gloomy and dark, there was no wind on the sea, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that people felt an inexplicable sense of suffocation.

Anyone who lives at sea knows that such a weather is definitely not a good thing, because it indicates that a sea storm is brewing, and from the thick layer of dark clouds that can't be seen in the sky at this moment and the calmness to Judging from the near-dead sea, the scale and destructive power of this storm are definitely not small, which is a very bad thing for everyone who is still at sea.

"Anchor, fix the rope, lower the sail..." As similar orders sounded from different ships, the five ships docked on Horseshoe Bay were all doing the same thing, looking for a suitable parking position, Put down the extra fixed anchor on the ship, hook the reef at the bottom of the water, use the power of the reef to stabilize the hull, avoid excessive drifting of the ship when the storm occurs, and reduce the chance of hitting the reef.

"Damn the weather! One-eyed, no, blind man, didn't you say that the weather will be cloudless these days?" Hailesa, the captain of the Beloved, cursed the weather and asked Tagashta: "Does your The eyes are completely blind, and the ability has disappeared?"

"It has nothing to do with my ability." Tagash didn't care about his captain's bad temper. He raised his head and opened his eyes, revealing empty eye sockets, looking at the sky like a normal person, and said: "This weather is affected by The gods are in control, and I have an ominous premonition."

Hairesa couldn't help trembling slightly when he heard the words, and when he was about to ask more specific things, his first officer hurried up from the lower cabin, and then said to Hairesa: "The gold transport fleet has entered We’ve arrived at the Black Lagoon waters, and we’ve almost arrived at Harpoon Island, so we’ll meet those old guys near the Eye of Bitter Water tomorrow afternoon.”

"What? They followed the route of Kushui Haiyan?" Hailesa's face became a little ugly when he heard the news, and he couldn't help but confirm again: "Is the news accurate?"

"Very accurate." The first officer nodded seriously, and added: "Information from the black-necked gull."

The black-necked gull is the most common seagull on the sea, because it likes to fly in the storm, so it is also called the storm bird. From a long time ago, fishermen on the seaside will train the black-necked gull as a letter bird, and give their family a gift for themselves. To convey information, the black-necked gull, as the most important maritime messenger, became the standard configuration of almost all ocean-going ships, even though now almost every ship will domesticate a few black-necked gulls.

However, the black-necked gull that the chief mate is talking about is not a black-necked gull messenger in the conventional sense. In fact, he is talking about a secret intelligence organization along the coast of the New World. The route information of the fleet allowed the smuggling ship to successfully evade inspection at sea, because it used black-necked gulls to deliver messages, so it was named black-necked gull messenger.

This time the black-necked gull messenger seems to have violated the principle of only providing information to smuggling ships, and it seems that Kajilan's gold transport ship or the pirate ship of the pirate alliance has become interested. When they provided the real-time location of the gold ship and the Pirate Alliance ship, the black-necked gull messenger did not refuse the business, but readily agreed, but charged twice the usual fee.

Although this fee is a bit expensive, there are naturally many benefits. Just like now, even if he is in the middle of the Black Reef Sea, the black-necked gull messenger can find him and provide him with the information he wants.

It's just that the news provided by the black-necked gull messenger this time is not the good news that the buyer wants.

The reason why Hairessa has such an ugly expression is because the route chosen by the Cakilan gold transport fleet happened to be the worst choice for him among the various options he estimated, because the route of the gold transport ship It happened to coincide with his smuggling route, that is to say, if he continued to follow the original plan, he would definitely plunge into the battlefield.

There are only two public safe routes in the Black Reef sea area. Those two routes have less hidden reefs and undercurrents, and the waterways are spacious and open. They are very suitable for large fleets to pass through, and are also suitable for becoming a battlefield for two large fleets. The golden ship will choose to take the open route, and he can pass through the black reef waters from the unopened smuggling route when all the ships that block the route on the pirate side go to the battlefield after the war between the two sides.

There are a total of three undisclosed routes in the waters of the Black Reef, and these three are smuggling routes. The reason why they are not made public is not only because the smugglers hide, but also because these three smuggling routes are very dangerous.

These three routes are covered with a large number of reefs that can penetrate the bottom of the ship, as well as undercurrents that can affect the speed and direction of the ship. In addition to these common submarine killers, those special sea areas full of strange forces are also the most dangerous places among the three routes. Because there are still ways to avoid hidden reefs and undercurrents using conventional methods, but the weird forces in those special sea areas can only pray to God for peace.

When Hailesa first chose the smuggling route, he chose the most dangerous route among the three smuggling routes, and believed that Kajilan's gold transport ship would never choose this route, because this route has black reefs. Kushui Sea Eye, the most dangerous special sea area in the sea.

As the name suggests, the seawater of Kushui Haiyan is bitter. This kind of bitterness is not bitter in taste, but a kind of bitterness that permeates the spirit and even the soul. After drinking a little bit of seawater in this sea area, even the happiest person in the world All will have extremely strong depression, and even world-weary thoughts. If this emotion is not relieved in time, suicide will be the final result.

Although you won’t feel this kind of depression if you don’t drink the sea water here directly, the problem is that the water vapor formed after the sea water evaporates will cover the entire sea area. As long as the ship walks in this sea area, it will inevitably absorb the special sea water here. There is no way Avoid the sea water here completely.

Some people have explored the reason for the appearance of the Kushui Sea Eye, and the result they gave was that a Poseidon once fell here, and the wreckage of the Poseidon sank into the bottom of the sea, and the Poseidon's remnants contained in it affected the surrounding environment, and let them do it. The reason for this judgment is that if you look down at the Kushui Sea Eye from the sky, you will find that the entire sea area is a huge eye. Except for God, they don't think there is anything in the world with such a huge body, so they gave this sea area the first The person who named it did not choose a random name, it must have been influenced by some mysterious force.

The way early smugglers passed through Kushuihaiyan was to use a strong hallucinogen, which could produce a strong sense of pleasure, which just offset the special power shrouded in Kushuihaiyan. After the hallucinogen is used, the user is basically unable to act normally, so it is necessary to leave a determined sailor to reduce the use of hallucinogens and control the ship through the bitter water sea eye with will.

Entrusting the survival of the entire ship to the will of one person is not very reliable in itself, so at least eight out of ten smuggling ships using this method sank due to the collapse of the operator's will. seabed.

In addition, the use of hallucinogens is also harmful to people, especially its addiction will slowly destroy a person's will and body, so the early smugglers would not choose to take the bitter water unless they had to. Haiyan, the smuggling route.

Later, the emergence of diving suits greatly reduced the danger of Kushui Haiyan to some extent. Although the water vapor of Kushui Haiyan can still penetrate into the diving suit, the special power contained in the penetration process has also weakened. At this time, when used with a small dose of hallucinogens, it can effectively relieve the mood, stabilize the emotions of the operator, and control the ship to safely pass through the bitter sea.

However, although this method is much safer than the simple use of hallucinogens before, it is only relatively safe. There are still many ship operators who have used this method. into the sea.

Compared with the luck-and-forget method commonly used by these other smuggling ships, Hairesa has a better way to pass through the bitter sea eye, and there is no need to use drugs such as hallucinogens, and the people on board will not He suffered any harm, so in the past, as long as he went to the black reef waters, he would choose the most dangerous route of the bitter sea eye.

It is also because he is very aware of the dangers of Kushuihaiyan, so he firmly believes that the gold ship will not take this smuggling route, but in the end, his judgment is completely wrong. This smuggling route may even choose Kushui Haiyan as the main battlefield for the decisive battle with the pirate fleet.

This gave Hailesa the illusion that the purpose of the gold transport ship was not to transport gold at all, but to entangle all the pirates in this sea area, and then drag them to the end of the bitter sea.

Although Hailesa already knew the choice of Kajilan's gold ship in advance and had one day to prepare, it was useless to him, because he had no other choice but to follow the original plan Kushuihaiyan, passing through the battlefield.

There is not enough time to re-choose another safe route. Even if he goes back at full speed and takes a new safe route, I am afraid that by the time he walks halfway, the naval battle of the bitter water sea eye will be over, and the two sides of the black reef sea area will definitely It will be completely blocked. Even if he has a church pass, he may not be able to pass smoothly.

Just when Hai Leisa was struggling with how to pass through the bitter sea safely and smoothly, the passengers on his ship were completely attracted by another thing, and saw the Barbarisa couple, Joan and Penny all gathered together The cabin of Leo and Sylvia, their purpose of coming here is not because of the upcoming storm outside, nor because of other things, but for the box that is now placed on the table.

After learning that there was a box hidden in the wall of the cabin, and it was an extremely important smuggled item on the Beloved, the Barbarisa couple finally couldn't hold back their curiosity and took the box out of the wall.

It has to be said that the Barbarisas and his wife did have some very strong hands-on skills. Without alarming anyone, they were able to dismantle the iron plate on the cabin wall, find all the protective organs around the box, and put The mechanism was cracked, and the fully enclosed box was safely taken out.

Although there were Joan and Penny's help, the couple was the dominant one, and what surprised Leo and Sylvia the most was that they were able to persuade Joan and Penny to help them.

"You did a good job." Although Joan and Penny helped the Barbarysa couple without telling themselves, Leo did not blame them. Instead, after listening to how they helped the Barbarysa couple out of the box, he praised them. He nodded and said: "Your training has been very successful during this time, and you have already learned how to use your abilities in actual combat, which is very good!"

Hearing that Leo didn't blame herself, Penny couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and her body, which had been tense since entering the door, also relaxed.

Joan was still smiling, not thinking about whether he had done something wrong. What he wanted to know most now was what was inside this sealed box.

In fact, it wasn't just Joan, Sylvia was also completely attracted to the box after seeing it. After holding it in her hand and looking at it several times, she tried to use her own strength to test the uniqueness of the box. , the result surprised her and did not exceed her expectations.

Sylvia seemed to be talking to herself, and as if she was asking Leo, she said, "What is this thing made of? Why is my strength immediately dispelled when I put it together? It feels like this material is The same thing that exists to dispel extraordinary power?"

However, Leo looked at the box and said, "Do you still remember the anti-magic metal found in Toussaint?"
