The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Looking at the sea fog area gradually moving away from the stern, Leo recalled the secrets of the sea area he had discovered in his mind. Although the eyeballs of the abyss snake in his hand did not move, and the chaotic stomach pouch did not feel hungry, he always felt that A black unknown creature may be related to the abyss.

While Leo was thinking about things, the old captain with a pipe in his mouth came over and said to Leo: "The Society for the Study of Mysteries has issued a huge reward for exploring the mysteries of the Eternal Battlefield. In the black market, and it keeps accumulating, the numbers are already staggering."

"Society for the Study of Mysterious Events?" Leo was stunned when he heard this strange name.

"It's a subsidiary institution of the Hearing Society." The old captain said while biting his pipe.

"Do you know who I am?" Leo could feel the change in the attitude of the old captain. In addition, he easily revealed the secret organization that ordinary people should not know about the Hearing Society. Identity is understood.

"Yes." The old captain nodded and admitted, "Your Majesty, you are a very important guest,"

The words of the old captain gave Leo two interesting pieces of information. One was that the Ice Queen, who had never met before, knew about him. Presumably, it was related to the Witch Squad. The second surprised him, that was, the old captain was able to The Ice Queen was contacted on the ship, which meant that there was at least one remote communication device on board.

Although Leo was very curious about what this communication device beyond this era looked like and how it worked, he didn't ask, because he was sure that even if he asked, the other party wouldn't tell, so there was no need to waste time.

Leo didn't intend to talk, but the old captain didn't intend to leave just like that.

The old captain saw that Leo's eyes were always looking at the fog on the sea, and Leo was looking through the information about the Pirate King's treasure on the ship these two days, so he thought that Leo was also interested in the Pirate King's treasure, so he speculated: "Are you also thinking that the treasure of the Pirate King may be in the sea under the mist? In fact, not only you think so, but many people have thought this way before. But if you think about it a little, you know that this kind of thing is impossible."

"Why do you say that?" Leo turned to look at the old captain and asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" The old captain pointed to the fog-covered sea area and said, "That sea area is located at the outermost layer of Skull Bay. Although it is still under the control of the Pirate Kingdom, there are too many people coming and going here. Burying treasure here is like putting treasure on a busy market."

Although Leo didn't quite agree with this statement, he didn't refute it either, because if the pirate king's treasure was really in that sea area, he would also have no way to break in and take it out.

"Is there anything else?" Leo turned around and looked at the old captain, feeling that the other party still had something to say.

The old captain said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, let me tell you that she wishes to meet you?"

Leo pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is it?"

The old captain explained: "When we arrive at the Minsk mainland, someone will contact you."

Leo didn't ask much, nodded, turned around and prepared to go back to the cabin, preparing for the two-day treasure hunt in Skull Bay.

After driving for another hour or so, the number of ships on the sea gradually increased, from four or five ocean-going ships that entered Skull Bay with the Snow Queen, to hundreds of ships of various sizes. Most of them are small fishing boats, and there are also a few patrol ships with obvious military characteristics. As for other ferries to and from the various islands, there are very few.

In this situation, it is not difficult to see that those ferries may have been rented by the treasure hunters who gathered here and sailed to other sea areas.

"Golden Island!" At this moment, someone on the bow suddenly said loudly

A huge island on the distant sea gradually changed from blurred to clear, and its skeleton shape became more and more obvious to everyone.

The reason why Skull Bay has this name is not only because the bay is shaped like a skeleton, but also because the capital of the former pirate kingdom is located on Skull Island.

At the beginning, the island was not what it is now. Its landform looked like a skull from a distance. Later, because of the geographical advantages here, a large number of pirates gathered here, and soon these pirates joined together. It became a pirate alliance. On the day the alliance was established, someone proposed to simply turn the island into a skeleton to deter other ships.

For this proposal, the people in the alliance naturally accepted it with resentment, so they began to transform Skull Island according to their ideas. However, before the transformation of Skull Island was completed, this pirate alliance was annexed by other big pirates, just a few times It was annexed, but the transformation of Skull Island is still not over, and the later occupants still follow the predecessors to transform Skull Island.

In this way, until the five pirate kings gathered here to establish the pirate kingdom, the skeleton shape of the island was fully established, and the name of the island was changed to Skull Island.

The core of the entire Skull Island is naturally the platform above the skull. On that huge platform, the five pirate kings of the year spent huge sums of money to build a palace and stand at the top of the palace. As long as the eyesight is good enough and the weather is beautiful , you can overlook the entire Skeleton Bay.

And looking at Skull Island from the sea area of ​​Skull Bay, you can also see a huge skeleton with a crown.

Now this castle that once ruled the entire Skull Bay, or the Pearl Island Chain, has been rented by a rich man in America and converted into a hotel. This is also where Leo lived on the island for the past two days.

As the ship got closer and closer to Skull Island, everyone's attention moved from the crown on top of the skull to the second famous scenic pirate cemetery in Skull Bay.

I don’t know when, the outer waters of Skull Island have become a place for pirates to remember their fellow shipmates. They will take the mast and skull flag of the dead fellow ship to the outer sea and shoal of Skull Island, and then insert them into the sea. The flag was nailed to the mast.

Because when the pirates made the pirate flag, in order to prevent the sea air from corroding, the pirate flag was made of special vine fibers and special paint. Even after hundreds of years, the pirate flag nailed to those masts still remains As dark as new, they stand like tombstones on the shallow sea, quietly watching the ships passing here, telling the past.

It is said that when someone comes to this pirate cemetery at night, they will hear the pirates singing the song of the storm loudly, which used to be called the song of pirates, but is now called the song of freedom by the Mozambique continent.

"Let's come here at night, maybe we can hear the pirates singing." Under the old captain's deliberate control, the ship slid past the edge of the cemetery, and some of them began to discuss the evening activities.

"It's best not to do that." Leo who was standing next to him said.

It's just that this sentence was not only said by Leo, there was an old man on the other side who also said the same sentence, which made Leo look at the old man in surprise.

The reason why Leo said this was mainly because he could see a lot of negative energy permeating this pirate cemetery through the Eye of Reality and the Mark of the Web Weaver, and these negative energies are probably related to the soul, just because Leo I don't know much about the soul yet, so I can't make a final judgment.

But he is very clear, that is, if the body of an ordinary person is exposed to this negative energy for a long time, at least the body will suffer some imperceptible damage, and at the worst it will be directly eroded by the negative energy, and the consequences are unpredictable.

However, the old man was able to say such a thing, and he must have seen something, but Leo didn't feel any extraordinary energy fluctuations from him, obviously the other party was just an ordinary person.

Leo remembered this old man. The other party boarded the ship at the port before the Port of Scitech. The old man did not have any outstanding behavior on the ship. He just liked to take a book and go to the deck restaurant near the sunny window when the weather was good. Sitting in the seat next to him, drinking tea and reading a book, he looked very leisurely and inconspicuous.

If the old man hadn't suddenly said such a thing, Leo might not have looked at him more.

When Leo was looking at the other party, the old man also looked at Leo, then looked away, and said to those who suggested going to the pirate cemetery at night: "In the past, there were many people who felt as much about the pirate cemetery as you do. Curious people have stayed in there for a long time at night, and you know what happened?"

Perhaps it was due to the old man's tone. After his words fell, everyone couldn't help but feel a cold meaning. One of the women couldn't help asking: "What happened in the end?"

"As a result..." the old man opened his mouth in a mysterious manner, then stopped, looked at the people who had been attracted, and said very seriously: "As a result, they all fell ill after returning home because of the sea breeze blowing all night!"

Everyone was stunned for a while, and then gave the old man an angry look. After all, they were going to hear some mysterious things from the old man's mouth, but they ended up with such an answer.

However, they didn't care too much about this matter, they dispersed one after another, and no one paid any attention to the old man playing with them.

"Hey! Tell the truth, but no one listens. Something will happen sooner or later." The old man sighed, shook his head, then turned to look at Leo, and said very abruptly: "You should be able to see it, right?"

"Yes, I can see it." Leo nodded, and then asked, "You can't see it, can you?"

"Yes, I can't see anything." The old man seemed to understand Leo's words, sighed, looked at Leo enviously, and said: "I really envy you people with extraordinary power , can get in touch with the truth of the world more easily than ordinary people like us." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Leo and said, "Beren Kane."

"Leo Dodd" Leo shook the other party's hand, suddenly seemed to remember something, froze, and said: "Beren Kane, king of treasure hunting, Beren Kane."

The old man smiled and said: "If there is no second person in the world who can find so many treasures in his lifetime, also called Beren Kane, I think the person you are talking about is me."

If you want to select the ten most legendary figures in the ancient and modern Velen world, Beren Kane is definitely qualified to be among them, because in his past life, he personally found seventeen treasures that were thought to not exist , In addition, more than 50 ruins that were long thought to have disappeared were found with his assistance, so he also has the title of King of Treasure Hunting.

However, Leo's initial acquaintance with Beren Kane was not the king of treasure hunting, but the old man Rembrandt. When studying, Beren Kane sent someone to deliver a set of restored ancient books to Rembrandt for translation, and it turned out that Leo became the translator of that book.

"I finally met you, Leo Dodd!" Old Belen smiled, and then said: "You must know that the book you translated back then helped me a lot. If it wasn't for your accurate translation, I'm afraid it's impossible to find the ruins of Kashiron, let alone such a tribe with such a high level of civilization in the ancient times of Velen."

"Did you find the ruins of the Kashiren tribe in the northern ice field?" Leo asked with great interest, "What did you find there?"

Speaking of it, the Kahiron civilization should be the first time Leo realized that this world is related to the advanced civilization of the universe, because the book Leo translated was a Kahiron civilization written in a variant of the Papa language History, there are also a lot of very abstract graphics in that book, but no matter how abstract some graphics are, when combined with the accompanying text of the graphics, Leo still feels that there is a shadow of cosmic civilization in them.

For example, in that book, it was mentioned that a big bird descended from the sky, and a giant with a slender body came out from the belly of the bird. Survive in the harsh environment of the northern ice sheet.

There are similar myths and legends in the myths of all countries in the world, but none of the myths and legends describe the unknown existence that enlightened wisdom so clearly. The image of a Weiya who has lost his armor can emerge.

It's a pity that at that time, his mind was more focused on wizards, psychics and other things, and he didn't care about these things.

Now that he heard that Old Belen had found the ruins of the Kashilun civilization, he couldn't help but become interested in exploring it.

"What do you think we found there?" Old Beren can be said to be a person with a good mind, and Leo didn't make any cover-ups, so he could easily see what Leo was thinking, so he asked back: " What do you think you'll find in there?"

"I think we will find something beyond the civilization of this era." Leo didn't shy away, and directly expressed his thoughts, and, showing the recorder on his wrist, said, "For example, this thing."
