Chapter 576: Falling Star Sea, Ghost Ship
In fact, even if Old Beren doesn't come up with this letter of recommendation, Leo is still planning to find an opportunity to contact the Lost Society to see if he can join it, and he is also confident that joining the Lost Society will not be a big problem. After all, he has no knowledge.
Both quantity and ability far exceed that of ordinary people.
Now that he had received a letter of recommendation from Old Beren, and also knew a meeting place of the Lost Society, this saved him a lot of trouble, and more importantly, the meeting place did not conflict with his schedule.
Just follow the itinerary and go to the Kingdom of Maris.
However, often when we think that everything has been planned in advance and there will be no mistakes, accidents will follow and add some twists to those so-called perfect plans.
After replenishing a large amount of supplies at Shackles Port, the Snow Queen immediately set sail and continued its voyage.
When the Ice Queen left the port, Shao Port also sent several small warships from the military's maritime defense force to follow from a distance, monitoring the Snow Queen as it sailed out of the controlled waters of Shao Island before turning back.
Before the departure of the Snow Queen, Port Shackles also sent the fastest ships to other ports to report the outbreak of plague in the ports. The fact that the Snow Queen was the source of the plague allowed all ports to be vigilant.
Notifying various ports of this matter, the mayor of Shackles Port had no intention of covering it up and clearly issued the order in front of the people on the Snow Queen.
Because of the other party's approach, the Snow Queen will have to bear the adverse effects of the plague in the next new city.
In other words, I am afraid that the ports that were previously expected to need to be docked in the next voyage will no longer be able to dock, because no port dares to allow a ship carrying the source of the plague to dock, even if it has been said that this is not a plague, and there are already
Received therapeutic drugs.
Therefore, due to the current bad situation, the old captain had to modify the next route, replenish enough supplies, no longer take the Pearl Island Chain, but sail directly northwest, across the Falling Star Sea, and sail directly to the final port of this route.
Minsk is the southernmost port of Simpshavn on the mainland.
I don’t know what method the old captain used. In short, after calming down the anger of the passengers on the ship, he also got the passengers to agree to his proposal. Even those who needed to disembark midway did not object. After all, were they able to disembark midway?
Two theories.
Because for the passengers on the ship, if they disembark from the Snow Queen at this time, they may be regarded as potential plague carriers for a long time in the future and be monitored by the local government. Their former relatives and friends may also be
You will be alienated, and your career will inevitably be affected, especially your life.
Therefore, it is the best and only choice for them to disembark at Port Simps, the final port of the voyage. After all, the Principality of Pus where Port Simps is located is a vassal state of Dalyat, and the Snow Queen is there.
There is a private dock. They only need to disembark at the dock and then forge a record of sailing on other ships. Then they can erase their connection with this voyage and will no longer be affected by the plague.
Crossing the Sea of Falling Stars is not a reassuring choice. Even in this era when huge ships like the Miracle Star can be built, crossing the Sea of Falling Stars is still a big adventure, a big adventure where life and death are unpredictable.
I don’t know why, but the climate in the Sea of Falling Stars is irregular. One moment it may be calm, but the next moment there may be huge waves.
Moreover, there are some unpredictable dangers lurking in this sea area. For example, the water on some sea surfaces suddenly loses its buoyancy. If a ship sails on it, it will sink directly to the bottom of the sea.
In addition to the dangers of the ocean itself, the marine life in the Falling Star Sea is also one of the dangers. The marine life here seems to be species from another world. Not only are their shapes extremely strange, but many of them are extremely large, so big that people can only see them.
Their shadows in the sea will unconsciously produce strong fear.
Among the many legends about the terrifying marine creatures in the Falling Star Sea, the most frightening one is the legend of the deep-sea octopus. It is said that there is an extremely huge octopus in the Falling Star Sea. This octopus has grown more than a dozen branches and is so strong that it can easily
It crushed the tentacles of a medium-sized warship, and the beaks of the tentacle suckers could even tear apart any kind of steel plate, so no ship that encountered this monster survived.
But since no ship has survived, how did the legend about this giant octopus spread? Many people who doubt such legends often use these words to question such legends, but regardless of the doubts,
However, this kind of legend still spreads unhindered throughout the countries and becomes the folklore of each country.
In addition, the ghost ship is also one of the various mysterious legends in the Sea of Falling Stars. However, compared to the legend of sea monsters for which no relevant evidence has been found so far, the legend of the ghost ship does have some evidence. Many ships that sailed on the edge of the Sea of Falling Stars have
Ghost ships have been seen in the distant waters of the Falling Star Sea, and some daring ships have even approached ghost ships.
There are different opinions on the shape of the ghost ship, but one feature will never change, that is, the ghost ship is a pirate ship, because on the top of the ship's main mast hangs a black flag of skulls belonging to pirates.
In any case, for ordinary ships, the Sea of Falling Stars is too dangerous. Even if they only need a day to cross the Sea of Falling Stars to reach their destination, they would still be willing to take the long way around for half a month and go to the outskirts of the Sea of Falling Stars.
route.
The Snow Queen is obviously not an ordinary ship. When the old captain decided to fall into the sea of stars, some people felt uneasy about it, but the old passengers of the Snow Queen all behaved very calmly, and it was their stability that made other people feel uneasy.
The panic in people's hearts has weakened a lot.
The reason for this is that the Snow Queen has sailed in the Sea of Falling Stars more than once. Although it did not sail directly in the depths of the Sea of Falling Stars but only sailed along the edge of the Sea of Falling Stars, this is already very remarkable, because even if it is
The level of danger in the marginal waters is not much different from that of the central waters of the Falling Star Sea.
In the past many voyages, many people came for the Falling Star Sea route launched by the Snow Queen, because everyone who has taken this route praised it and thought it was a worthwhile trip because they saw a lot
Some people will never be able to see the amazing scenery in their lifetime, which is one of the main reasons why the old captain was able to persuade the passengers to change the route.
After deciding to change the route, the old captain informed Leo. Leo did not object to this. He was also curious about the Sea of Falling Stars.
After leaving the waters of Shackles Island, the Snow Queen sailed north for about a day. It almost didn't need the old captain to send someone to inform him. Leo in the cabin had already known through the subtle changes in the energy around him that he was probably already dead.
We have arrived at the sea area of Falling Star Sea.
When he knew about the Falling Star Sea, Leo had guessed that the energy environment of the Falling Star Sea must be unusual, otherwise so many strange things would not have happened. Now he is even more sure of his guess, and he even knows the reason.
This abnormal energy environment caused by this, we also know what the so-called stars that fell here were.
Eternal Zero Point is the energy source of all Death Star fortresses or Death Star-like fortresses. Zero Point Matter is a very special energy substance in the universe. It is like a stable and controllable white hole that can continuously eject the most primitive material outward.
The cosmic energy beam can almost be said to be the real eternal energy.
Millions of years have passed since the discovery of the eternal zero point and the complete control of this infinite energy. During this long time, the advanced civilizations in the universe have continued to deepen their research on this infinite energy, and have completely controlled it.
A kind of energy, and the success rate of producing this energy is nearly 100%. Only some human factors can lead to manufacturing failure, not the method.
Although a method has been found to control this energy, it does not mean that this energy can be used at will, because the power generated by the eruption of this energy is so powerful that the power systems of most warships cannot
Withstand such energy infusion.
Knowing that the Supreme Council discovered a very special substance on a remote planet, this substance can infinitely weaken all kinds of energy, and its own energy impact resistance is also very strong, even the energy beam at the eternal zero point can still be blocked.
.
It is a pity that this material is only found on this planet, and there is no trace of the existence of this material on other planets in the universe. Although the mineral deposits on this planet are very rich, these mineral deposits are too rare in the entire universe.
Therefore, the Supreme Council stipulated that unless it is a huge ship equivalent to the size of a small planet like the Death Star base, this kind of metal material cannot be used to create the eternal zero point.
It was precisely because of this decision of the Supreme Council that Leo was sure that what crashed into the ocean must be a small Death Star base wreckage. Moreover, due to the impact of the fall, the Death Star base fell apart, and the power system must also be scattered in the ocean.
In the sea, it naturally includes the power device of eternal zero point.
It is conceivable that the eternal zero point was not completely destroyed in the explosion. It can still produce effects, ejecting the most primitive energy of the universe outwards, and this energy spreads in the sea area of the Falling Star Sea, resulting in the uniqueness of this sea area.
energy environment.
In such an energy environment, some biological mutations will definitely occur. In addition, those exploration ships that went deep into the Sea of Fallen Stars and never left again probably did not encounter any sea monsters or disasters. They should have entered high-energy areas from low-energy areas.
Later, due to the inadaptation of the energy environment, fatal problems occurred in the body.
Similarly, Leo also knows why the Snow Queen can safely travel along the edge of the Sea of Falling Stars so accurately without any reference. Even if the energy environment of the Sea of Falling Stars changes, it will still not take the wrong route.
Previously, Leo thought it was the ability of the Snow Queen itself, but now he knows that it is because all members of the ship, from the captain to the crew, are Familia, and this Familia seems to be very sensitive to changes in energy, and can almost match Leo's spirit.
The net was comparable, and just when Leo sensed the change in energy, the ship began to change direction, from the northeast to the east, and began to sail along the last line of safety on the edge of the Falling Star Sea.
It has to be said that this environment is a very good place for Leo, because as his psychic level increases, the cells in his body also begin to evolve, and his thirst for external energy also increases.
For him, the current environment is like the nutritional tank he soaked in after being injured. Under the influence of the surrounding high energy field, his body quickly absorbs external energy to make up for the lack of its own energy.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone on the ship except him couldn't withstand the damage of the high-energy environment, maybe he would have asked the old captain to drive the ship to a more central area of the Falling Star Sea.
With the replenishment of evolutionary cell energy, Leo's most intuitive feeling is that his nearly degenerated brain has gradually begun to recover. Although the recovery process is not very fast, it is very obvious. If nothing unexpected happens, it only takes three days at most.
In just a few days, he will be able to fully recover, and even his brain's thinking ability will be improved due to the evolution of life.
However, the accident happened inadvertently, and for many people on the ship, this accident was even more welcome. After all, when those people learned that the Snow Queen changed its route and was about to fall into the sea of stars, they must have thought about it.
Maybe I'll be lucky enough to encounter such an accident.
On the second day after entering the Sea of Falling Stars, thick fog arose on the sea. Unlike others on the boat who only felt a little short of breath when the fog appeared, Leo felt that the concentration in the surrounding air had increased.
several times.
This change also made him stop the ongoing work of sorting out the knowledge of the corpse collector's mark and the handwriting of the tower wizard, walked out of the cabin, and came to the deck.
Obviously, the old captain also felt the change in energy. While he changed the route to get the ship out of the dense fog containing extremely high energy, he also drove the wizard's circle on the ship to form a shield around the ship.
High-energy fog is outside.
Different from the wizard array that was inspired by the storm before, the wizard array that the old captain now inspired was not covered up in any way. Layers of mysterious Turing roots appeared on the deck of the ship, and the itinerary
The protective cover also had a gorgeous appearance similar to a colorful glass cover before everyone's eyes, making the ordinary passengers on the ship exclaim in exclamation.
And this was not the most amazing thing for them. Just when they were still talking about the changes in the Snow Queen, a broken sailboat appeared from the thick fog, attracting everyone's attention.
