"Marine ecological regulating device." Leo put down the metal plate in his hand and muttered to himself.

This metal plate-shaped encoder belongs to an instrument called a marine ecological regulating device. The name of this instrument was given to it by the Earth Federation. The real name of the instrument is a series of special sound waves that cannot be pronounced by earth creatures.

.

The alien race that makes this instrument comes from an ocean planet, which is entirely made of water. After the civilization of this planet enters the cosmic civilization sequence, it will inevitably have alien colonization just like the Earth Federation.

It’s just that there are too few ocean planets suitable for their survival in the universe, so they can only use some special methods to transform non-ocean planets.

For example, using technology to capture multiple comets composed entirely of water, put them on a planet that is not suitable for survival, let the planet have water, and then use technology such as marine ecological adjustment devices to transform the planet to be suitable for their survival.

.

Because the planets this alien race chose to transform were all uninhabited planets, their transformation did not violate the rules specified by the Supreme Council, and the marine ecological regulating devices they produced were therefore able to be sold externally.

Although the Earth Federation is not a marine biological civilization, their demand for water is not low at all. The development of many colonial planets has been put on hold due to water problems. Therefore, when this marine ecological regulating device is sold, they are the first to

I ordered it in large quantities without even thinking about whether it was suitable for the Earth Federation's colonial star.

One of the planets Leo once stationed on was such a colonial planet that was short of water. This colonial planet was not literally short of water, but because the water resources here were not suitable for normal people to use. That's why he thought of using marine ecology.

Adjustment device.

As for whether this device finally worked, Leo didn't know, because before the device was purchased and installed, his team had already set off for other troubled planets.

After determining the device corresponding to the metal plate, Leo naturally thought of the ocean in the Velon world. If there was no mistake in the painting, the ocean in the Velon world should have used the marine ecological adjustment device corresponding to this metal plate.

Thinking of this, Leo picked up the metal plate on the table and prepared to put it into the storage space and store it temporarily.

However, before he could make a move, the ship's hull was rocked by a wave.

Logically speaking, the rocking of the ship's hull like this would not have any adverse effects on Leo at all. But what's strange is that Leo couldn't stand firm under such a rocking of the ship's hull. He fell forward with his head toward the corner of the table.

Smashed it over.

In this situation, Leo instinctively stretched out his hand to hold the corner of the table to stabilize his body. But at the same time, when he reached out, he threw out the metal plate in his hand. When he came to his senses, the metal plate

It had flown out of the cabin window and fallen into the sea.

And when he opened the mental net and was about to find the metal plate and use his spiritual energy to retrieve it, a big fish suddenly appeared out of nowhere, swallowed the metal plate in one mouthful, and then

While Leo was still dazed, he dived quickly, swam out of the coverage of Leo's mental network, and disappeared into the depths of the ocean.

All this happened too suddenly, too unexpectedly, and the whole process was completely unexpected. What's more important is that Leo found that his thinking and reactions had become strange inexplicably, as if he had become an ordinary person.

.

After calming down, Leo carefully checked the situation on his body and found nothing abnormal. However, he felt even more horrified because it could silently affect his body and mind.

It also prevented him from detecting any abnormalities, and this kind of power made people even more frightened.

Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but want to take out the unknown biological fossil from the storage space and carefully study what kind of power it contained. But in the end, he resisted the impulse in his heart and did not move.

That fossil of an unknown creature.

Because he knew very well that no matter how hard he researched, he would not be able to find anything useful. Obviously, the power contained in this unknown biological fossil was beyond the scope of his research capabilities. Instead of taking it out, he would inadvertently touch the power within it.

, to cause some trouble for yourself, it is better to let it stay in the storage space and take it out for research when you are able.

Although he lost the metal plate, Leo did not relax his vigilance. He had already felt how powerful the unknown force that changed luck was, and he didn't know whether a metal plate was equivalent to changing luck.

He paid, so in the next two days, he always stayed vigilant to prevent any accidents.

As a result, no accidents occurred until the ship docked at Emerald Island, the northernmost island on the westernmost side of the Pearl Island Chain, and the discomfort in his body disappeared. Only then did he confirm that he had returned to normal.

After the ship docked at the pier, the passengers on the ship did not get off the ship and were gathered by the captain into the hall. At this time, the island's sheriff was also in the hall and asked some questions in a routine manner. Although it was already clear that Kunstein died in an accident,

But after all, a person died, and there were some financial disputes with other people before his death, so it is still necessary to ask some questions.

However, the Sheriff here also knows very well that people who can afford to spend money to build a special sailboat like the Snow Queen must be rich or noble, which is far beyond the reach of a local Sheriff like him, so he asked

We are also very careful with our questions and try to avoid touching the privacy of passengers.

The inquiry ended soon, and the Sheriff also lifted the ban on the ship. However, when he ordered Kunstein's body to be carried off, his eyes couldn't help but linger on the financial assets Kunstein left behind for a while. Obviously,

It gave rise to some small thoughts.

Leo was not at all interested in knowing how the island's sheriff was going to dispose of Kunstein's body. He was more interested in how Kunstein obtained the bone fossil of this unknown creature. He could not tell from the bone fossil itself.

Or if there are any useful clues found in the stone box that contains the bones, we can only see if Kunstein has any relevant clues.

"Do you want the deceased's diary and account book?" Leo followed the island's sheriff to the island's police station, and then made a request directly to the sheriff, who was extremely surprised.

Leo had just discovered that there were basic diaries and account books among Kunstein's relics. Although he was not sure whether these things contained content useful to him, it was still a source of clues that he could not give up.

"How much do I need to pay?" Leo asked directly.

"Twenty gold shields." The Sheriff was not polite and directly offered the highest price in his mind.

Leo didn't say anything, and directly took out twenty gold shields in cash and put it on the table.

The Sheriff knew that his offer was a bit low, but even though he was upset, he did not regret it. He put the twenty gold shields in his pocket and walked to the office. After a while, he saw him coming back with a bag and put it in his pocket.

It was handed to Leo.

Leo's mental network was always spreading around, and the Sheriff's every move was under his surveillance. He knew very well that the other party was not playing tricks, so he turned around and left without checking the number of account books and diaries in the bag.

After returning to the ship, Leo took out the diary and account book from the bag, looked through them quickly, and quickly found the information he wanted from the account book.

Kunstein is a very careful person. He never records any important information in his diary. Even if he does, he will record it in some special secret words that only he understands. Therefore, Leo did not find anything useful from his diary. On the contrary,

In his portable ledger, Leo discovered transaction records about the bones of unknown creatures.

In this transaction record, only the stone box is mentioned, and no bones are mentioned. Obviously before Kunstein got the box, the box was sealed, and the seller did not know that the box contained a bone fossil of an unknown creature, so in

The account book only records the price of the stone box, while the table header recorded for this batch of goods records the place where the goods were purchased, the Bogali Bazaar.

"Bogalli Market?" Although he got a piece of information, it was the same as not getting it. Leo didn't know where the Bogalli Market was. He could only judge from the items he purchased that it should be in the northern powerhouse of the Minsk continent.

Saville, because the currency paid here is called jinza.

After nightfall, the captain sent someone to tell Leo that the ship would sail at night and if he needed to buy anything, he should buy it now.

Leo felt a little confused about the captain's decision, because few ships sailed at night, and this behavior was obviously too abnormal.

However, before Leo could ask questions, other passengers had already taken the captain's decision first. However, the captain's explanation was that leaving as soon as possible would not delay the trip. If he stayed here according to the original plan, it might delay the trip for more than ten days.

journey.

Of course, everyone was not satisfied with the captain's explanation, but it was difficult to say anything, because after all, the captain had countless times more experience in sailing at sea than they did. All they could do was follow the captain's instructions. Fortunately, the Snow Queen

His reputation is very good, otherwise, they will all think that the captain is up to no good.

When everyone dispersed and the old captain started to sail the ship, Leo carefully thought about the explanation given by the old captain, then walked to the deck and directly activated the Poseidon mark on his body.

After standing there for a while, Leo removed the power of the Poseidon Mark and turned his head to look at the old captain over there thoughtfully.

He already knew why the old captain said that continuing to repair here for one day as originally planned would delay his trip for more than ten days, because when he activated the power in the Poseidon Mark, he had already felt a huge storm slowly forming in the nearby sea. Once

When a storm forms, the island will inevitably be involved, and it will be trapped on the island, delaying the trip.

Obviously the old captain knew about the forming storm through some means, so he decided to leave early and sail the ship out of the sea to avoid the storm.

Leo would naturally not object to this. He originally hoped to reach the Minsk mainland as soon as possible, and the old captain's decision was exactly in line with his wishes.

In this way, amid the complaints of many passengers, the Snow Queen slowly left the port and sailed into the depths of the ocean under the moonlight.

As predicted in advance, about six or seven hours after the Snow Queen left port, the originally calm sea began to undulate violently, and strong winds began to rise around it, rocking the ship.

The old captain had to take down several mainsails and reduce the speed to stabilize the ship.

When the sea surface was turbulent, Leo had already activated the Poseidon mark and sensed the formation process of the storm. Although the old captain made a very correct sailing decision and the speed was very fast, they still failed to react before the storm formed.

When the time comes, get out of the storm's coverage area.

Fortunately, the ship is now on the edge of this huge storm. Even if there are some wind and waves, it will not be too big.

However, the crew and the old captain on the ship did not know that they were on the edge of the storm, so they quickly fixed all the movable items on the ship according to normal procedures, and then lowered all the sails to half.

Looking ready.

The old captain also changed into a waterproof captain's suit at this time, came to the rudder at the stern, and took the rudder from the first mate. At this time, he saw Leo standing on the deck not far from the stern and immediately shouted loudly

: "Mr. Leo, please go back to the cabin. It's very dangerous here."

"Thank you for your curiosity, it's okay!" Leo shook his head and said with a smile: "I want to see the storm in the sea here. Please do it in your own way and ignore me."

Seeing Leo say this, the old captain didn't say much. From the previous gambling table, he could tell that Leo was not an ordinary person, so he was not worried that Leo would be in any danger.

At this time, the old captain took out a ball-shaped pendant from under his neck, then quickly turned the pendant, and the pendant turned into a key. Then he inserted the key into the key in the center of the rudder.

In the hole, it twisted half a circle.

Leo's mental network immediately sensed the Snow Queen under his feet. The moment the key was opened, many Turing roots that were in a closed state were activated. Although the appearance of the entire ship remained unchanged, the interior had changed.

It became another ship.

What concerned Leo the most was that at the moment of activation, these Turing radicals began to reorganize and deform, and then reconnected to form a three-dimensional radical whose meaning Leo could not understand at all.

To be honest, when Leo saw the three-dimensional character root beginning to take shape, he was stunned, because this change was completely beyond his expectation, and it also made him realize that his previous understanding of the ship was still insufficient.
