Chapter 307 The Change of the Jackdaw

Leo didn't know whether the Jackdaw's prow was a sacred object of the Jackdaw Church, but he was certain that when it was intact, it should have been a powerful psychic item, because even if it was like this in the past

For a long time, it has been exposed to the sun and rain on the beach of this island, but the spiritual energy it possesses is still very strong.

When he touched the prow statue with his hand, the spiritual energy of the prow statue attacked him uncontrollably, like a frightened beast. His palm that came into contact with the spiritual energy was instantly covered with a layer of ice.

And a chill continued to intensify, penetrating into the inside of the hand.

Leo did not use any witchcraft, but simply used spiritual energy to dispel the chill. He took his hand away from the ship's bow statue, and the ice on his hand immediately disintegrated, and he quickly returned to normal.

A small confrontation has allowed Leo to understand some details of the remaining power in the ship's bow. Although this spiritual energy is not strong, it is extremely penetrating and extremely chaotic. There is no possibility of control, so he also took advantage of the ship's bow.

Like the idea of ​​cutting it up and making it into wizard objects.

Leo, who no longer paid attention to the portrait on the bow, boarded the famous Jackdaw. Although many parts of the ship had decayed, the keel and other structures were still intact. It was obvious that the materials used for the keel when building this sailboat should be the same as the deck.

The materials in other places are different.

Leo was not too interested in the ship itself. He was interested in whether there were anything valuable on the ship, so he carefully searched every detail on the ship.

Soon, Leo found a secret safe in the captain's cabin, which was located under the captain's desk and covered by a layer of rotting carpet.

Leo walked to the captain's cabin and looked carefully to see if there were any books such as sailing diaries. Unfortunately, he found nothing. Instead, he found several long scimitars and hand-wound short crossbows that were the most popular among pirates at the time. These few

This item does have some collection value. If it is put at some auctions, many people will be willing to buy it at a high price. If it can be proven that it comes from the famous Jackdaw, then the price will be astonishingly high.

It's a pity that these items have no value to Leo now, and there are already a lot of things in the storage space. Even if you can still put down these scimitars and crossbows, you may find more in the future.

Things of value, these few things that can only be regarded as historical items seem to have no value at all.

After throwing aside the scimitar and crossbow, Leo walked to the captain's desk, moved the desk away, then swept away the rotten carpet, pulled the safe out from under the rotten floor, and threw it to the ground.

After discovering the safe on the Spiritual Network, Leo already knew that the safe was not simple. Now after seeing the safe, he realized that the safe was far more peculiar than he expected.

The shape of this safe is like a Rubik's Cube. Each face of the Rubik's Cube corresponds to a different basic root of the Gamore language. Depending on the situation, the safe must be opened by moving the panels on the Rubik's Cube to the correct position.

According to the difficulty of opening this safe, Leo might not be able to open this safe even if he kept calculating for a hundred years.

However, the premise of all this is that the safe is good.

When Leo grabbed the safe out from under the floor, he found that a hole had been opened in the safe. This hole was not opened by external force, but by an extremely corrosive liquid, and from this hole

Judging from the location, this corrosive liquid came from the bottom of the ship, so Leo could also see a hole the size of an arm that led directly to the lower cabin from the bottom of the groove that held the safe.

Judging from the current situation, Leo felt that someone should have known that there was a safe hidden underneath, and then used this method of gradual corrosion from the outside to open it, and the person who did this was probably a crew member on the ship, otherwise

Otherwise, it would be impossible to determine the location of the safe so accurately.

Leo is not too interested in who opened the safe now. He is interested in what is inside the safe.

Although the safe was opened, the contents inside were not completely taken away by the person who opened it. Some items were left behind. These items were not valuables such as gold, silver, or jewelry, but some rubble.

Leo poured out all the rubble from the safe, then carefully looked at the size and shape of the rubble, and felt that the rubble should be a whole.

Thinking of this, Leo quickly pieced together the rubbles one by one like a jigsaw puzzle, and soon formed a complete form. After seeing the complete object made of rubbles, Leo felt a little familiar.

And he quickly remembered that this object was the stone ball that sealed the Eye of Truth, only it had been shrunk many times.

Leo put the pieced-together fragments in front of him and took a closer look. He found that there were indeed a large number of magic circles composed of Turing roots on the surface of the fragments. However, most of the contents were worn out due to unknown reasons, and more importantly, he

It was found that the reason why the stone ball was broken was not because of external force, but because it was broken from the inside outward. This means that the forbidden things inside the stone ball escaped.

A picture emerged in Leo's mind. When the Jackdaw was returning from a naval battle, a traitor appeared among Drake's crew. This traitor may have been planning for a long time. He took advantage of everyone's fatigue after the war.

In this state, he sneaked into the cabin below the captain's cabin, then passed through the wooden board below the captain's cabin through an unknown method, and opened a hole in the safe.

However, when he opened the hole, the stone ball placed in the safe shattered, and the unknown object sealed by the stone ball and the safe escaped, ultimately causing the downfall of the Jackdaw.

The question that comes to Leo's mind now is whether the traitor in Drake's crew accidentally destroyed the Turing root on the stone ball and released the banned unknown object, or did he do this just to release the unknown object?

.

Although no other clues have been found yet, Leo is more inclined to the second option, because judging from the traces on the stone balls and the safe, the methods prepared by the traitor crew were specifically to push the root of Turing. It seems that this

It is a substance that completely restrains the Turing root.

This magical substance would have been priceless even in the past, let alone now. It would have been a disaster for wizards. The church would definitely attach great importance to those who mastered this substance, including money, status, and honor.

It's easy to get, so the purpose of the traitorous crew member coming to the safe is definitely not money, something he can easily obtain.

After making a rough guess in his mind, Leo stood up and searched the room carefully. The room was very clean. This cleanliness did not mean that there was no dust, but that the owner of the room had cleared everything in the room when he left.

Cleaned up.

Most of the things left in the house were decorations or trophies with special meanings. There were also some precious wines and some old navigation records. Other than that, there was nothing with writing on them.

Already.

There is nothing on the bookshelves on the walls of the room. From the traces on the surface of the bookshelf, it is easy to see that a large number of books have been placed here before. Moreover, each book is very thick and heavy, and the wooden boards of the bookshelf are dented.

There are no traces, obviously these books have been taken away.

After finding no other useful clues, Leo turned around and walked out of the room, jumped down a hole in the deck next to him, and came to the cabin on the bottom floor. Then he stepped on some rotten wooden boards and walked toward the cabin below the captain's cabin.

I saw that this cabin was originally a supply cabin, which contained a large amount of food and drinking water. Now these things have completely decayed, and there are only some broken cloth bags and wooden barrels.

Leo quickly found a piece of gravel on the floor of this cabin. Judging from the shape and size, it should have come from the stone ball in the safe.

Next to the rubble, Leo also saw something like a sacrificial bottle, and next to the sacrificial bottle there was a severed skeleton hand. Judging from the wounds on the severed hand of the skeleton, it was obvious that it was not chopped off, but

It was broken by corrosion. It seems that the person who broke the safe did not end well.

"Hey! This is..." Leo then saw a ring on one of the phalanges of his severed hand, and on the ring was a delicate rose.

In the world of Velen, there are many people who use roses as their family emblems, but the most famous ones are the Red Rose Royal Family of England and the White Rose Protectorate Family of the Kingdom of England, and only these two families use a rose.

The rose pattern is fully bloomed, but the red rose of the royal family is larger, while the white rose of the Lord Protector is smaller, and one petal is missing.

It is obvious from the surface of this ring that it is the rose emblem of the British royal family, and it is not surprising that there is a member of the British royal family on Drake's ship.

Because Drake received the secret support of the British royal family, his power expanded rapidly, and he owned many warships and had formed a fleet. Even though the British royal family had absolute trust in Drake, the British kingdom

The noble council would not allow a commoner to have such a large fleet, so some people would definitely be placed on Drake's ship. In order to balance the situation, the Royal Family of England would naturally also arrange some people to become Drake's deputies.

However, what puzzles Leo now is that the relationship between Drake and the British royal family should be very good. It is precisely because of Drake's actions at sea that the British royal family can get rid of the noble council.

Containment and acquisition of a large amount of power once occupied by the aristocratic parliament allowed the power of the British royal family to reach its peak at that time.

However, the royal children arranged by the British royal family to be on Drake's ship betrayed Drake at that time, destroyed Drake's personal safe, and released banned unknown objects. This is really contrary to common sense.

The only explanation that makes sense is that the value of the unknown object sealed in the stone ball is far greater than that of Drake himself. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the royal child to do such a thing.

While Leo made his inference, he took the ring off the broken arm and looked at the inside of the ring carefully.

According to the custom of ancient nobles, they would engrave the name, title or unique mark of the owner of the ring on the inside of the ring.

Now there is a unique mark on the inside of this ring. This mark is a strange-looking pattern. The pattern is engraved with an octopus whose body is extremely twisted and elongated.

Leo didn't know what kind of identity this pattern represented, but he could be sure that the owner of this ring was definitely a senior member of the Poseidon Church supported by the Ying royal family, because in the Poseidon Church in the Kingdom of Ying, the Poseidon's

The close servant is a huge octopus. It is said that the octopus guards the entrance and exit of the abyss on the seabed for Poseidon, preventing any monsters from coming out of the abyss, and also preventing anyone from entering the abyss from there, so the statues of Poseidon are everywhere.

There will always be a huge octopus accompanying you.

Leo made some guesses based on the ring, and also carefully checked the cabin. After finding no other clues, he returned to the deck, and then carefully checked the situation of each cabin above the deck through the mental network.

, after finding his target, he walked directly over.

What he found was the room of the British royal family on the ship. In fact, this room was easy to identify because the items in it should be some daily luxuries, and his room was not much smaller than the captain's cabin. It can be seen that Drake

The identity of this royal family member is very important.

Compared to the neatly tidied captain's cabin, the room of the British royal family member was obviously much messier, and it also provided Leo with more useful clues.

Because the members of the British royal family died suddenly, and the things that came out of the stone balls were attacking the crew of the Jackdaw afterwards, the situation was very chaotic, so no one cleaned up the room of the British royal family, and maybe even what happened when he left.

In this way, this is what Leo sees now.

After Leo entered the room, he walked directly to the desk by the window and carefully opened the rotten drawer. Inside the drawer was a book with an unknown animal skin as the cover.

When he scanned the room with his spiritual net just now, Leo discovered this book immediately because he felt a very weak spiritual energy on the cover of the book. Apparently the animal skin was derived from some kind of spiritual energy.

He also discovered that perhaps because of the effect of the spiritual energy contained in the animal skin, the pages in the book were not rotten and remained relatively intact.

After finding the book, Leo did not rush to read it. Instead, he took the book and returned to the deck of the ship to look at the sky.

At this time, the sky was almost dark, so Leo found some dry wood, went down to the cabin below the deck, and found some iron pots and other items used to block the flames, and piled them into a simple fire pit.

, put the wood into the pile, then lit the fire, and used it as a simple temporary shelter.

After that, Leo took out some food from the Queen Mary from the storage space, heated it up, sat next to the fire, ate, took out the book just now, and carefully
Chapter completed!
