At this time, Sylvia took out a prepared piece of cloth with everyone's names written on it, wrapped it around the stick, and then found a few stones to strengthen the foundation stone under the stick.

Seeing Sylvia's behavior, Leo couldn't help but asked curiously: "Why are you interested in this?"

"Don't forget, I have another identity." Sylvia patted the dust on her hands and said.

At this time, Leo remembered that Sylvia's other identity was a world-famous adventurer and writer.

"When we climb over Rum Peak later, are you going to put up another stick and tie it with a strip of cloth?" Tessa Moka said with a hint of teasing.

"Why not?" Sylvia shrugged and pointed to a spare hiking stick on Leo's luggage.

"Look." At this time, Randall suddenly let out a small exclamation, then pointed to the top of the mountain in the distance and said.

Everyone saw a huge black shadow moving slowly in the clouds on the top of the mountain. Judging from the shape of the black shadow, it looked like an old sailing ship, but the black shadow soon disappeared.

Compared to Mist and Randall, Sylvia did not show any surprise at this scene. She had seen countless such scenes during her adventures, so she explained to the two of them calmly:

"It's nothing to make a fuss about. It's just an illusion caused by the refraction of light. That black shadow may be just a ship sailing in the eastern sea at the moment."

"Not necessarily." Leo denied her statement and said, "The situation you mentioned only occurs when the weather is fine. Like now, the weather is gloomy, with wind and snow hanging around, and the clouds are thick and heavy.

It is impossible to have such an illusion on the mountain. Moreover, the black shadow appeared in the clouds and mist, which is definitely different from the illusion you saw."

"If it's not that kind of illusion, what is it?" Sylvia was stunned and asked.

"I don't know," Leo said as he walked towards the mountain peak and said, "Let's go up and take a look and you'll know what's going on."

Seeing Leo's decision, everyone stopped talking and continued to follow Leo towards the mountain peak.

Although when I saw the mountain peak where the black shadow was, I thought it was very close, but it was actually very far away. Sometimes in order to avoid the large fissures in the lower glacier, Leo had to take a long way around.

On the way, they encountered several more lists of martyrs, and Sylvia tied strips of cloth with their names on them. However, the strips on these lists were much less than what they saw at first.

, the nearest one only has one, and the owner of this cloth strip is lying next to the directory he built. It seems that he must have known that he was dying when he got here, so he left a mark of his existence.

Going up from this list, I no longer see the list of martyrs. It seems that the list just now should be the highest height that ordinary climbers can reach.

After learning this, Leo and the others were not surprised, but Mister and Randall were surprised.

They knew very well that although they had strong cold resistance and their bodies had become much stronger due to the mutation, they were still lagging behind the physical fitness of those mountaineers, and now they were here.

Those places that mountaineers cannot reach in their lifetimes, they feel extremely relaxed during the whole process, just like an outing. They only need to keep pace and keep up with the person leading the way. This makes them feel that they are not climbing Mount Rum.

illusion.

Because a lot of time was consumed in pathfinding, detours, etc., it took the group of people to walk for nearly three hours before reaching the peak where the black shadow appeared before. This peak has no name, but judging from its height,

It should be second only to Rum Peak, and it is very close to Rum Peak. As long as you walk up a relatively steep hillside, you can climb to Rum Peak.

When they came to the edge of the mountain, the black shadow of the ship in front appeared again, much more awake than before, and at this time everyone saw clearly that the black shadow was indeed a sailboat.

"Be careful." Leo suddenly felt that the mental network was being disturbed in front of him, so he reminded Sylvia, and then continued to walk forward.

After hearing the reminder, Sylvia and Tessa Mocha also made preparations to prevent sudden attacks.

As for Mister and Randall, they had no ability to protect themselves and could only follow Sylvia and the others.

The top of this mountain is not steep, but looks like a platform. The sailboat is lying on the edge of the platform. Judging from the surrounding traces, the sailboat should have been covered with a lot of ice and snow. However, due to avalanches and other reasons, the sailboat covered on it was

The ice and snow all slipped away, revealing the sailboat.

"Betkas!" When Leo was about to use the mental net to check the situation inside the sailboat, Sylvia seemed to recognize the sailboat and said in great surprise.

Hearing the name Sylvia called out, Leo was stunned for a moment, and then quickly found the information related to fish bones, and confirmed with some surprise: "It's the Beitkas that explored the end of the Sea of ​​Silence.

?”

"Yes, that's the one!" Sylvia nodded, pointing to the statue on the bow of the ship and the broken flag frozen on the flagpole and said: "That is the unique statue of the goddess of the sea on the Beitkas, and so is the flag on the flagpole.

The goddess star flag of the Betkas family."

At this time, the people around were also extremely shocked as they looked at the sailboat in front of them, and their eyes followed Sylvia's fingers towards the two objects with obvious characteristics.

"But didn't it disappear in the Sea of ​​Silence? How could it appear here?" Mist couldn't help but asked out of curiosity.

For anyone who cares about the navigation history of the Velen world, the Beitkas is definitely one of the most famous ships in the history of navigation.

This ship was a sailing ship carefully built by Count Betkas VI of the Kingdom of Sigmar. It could be said to be the largest and best sailing ship at the time. It had an eight-masted main sail plus five sets of auxiliary sails, totaling thirteen masts.

, coupled with the use of extinct tung oil wood, allows the ship to sail at extremely fast speeds on the water.

Someone once calculated that if there is a tailwind, the speed of the Beitkas will be far inferior to that of even the best steam-powered ships today.

And the most talked-about thing about this ship is that it has never encountered any bad weather at sea, and every time it sails, it is smooth sailing, as if this ship is really affected by someone from the builder's claim.

It seems like the blessing of the ocean goddess who is not recognized by the Orthodox Church.

In addition to the excellence of the ship itself, the Beitkas' experience is even more outstanding. At least in the history of navigation, the ink left on it far exceeds the sum of other ships.

It was the first ship to complete a circumnavigation of the world and the first ship to discover the Pearl Island Chain. Although the Kingdom of England did not admit this, it also helped Sigma's surveyors at the time complete the first world navigation chart and

The island map is the first topographic map of the coastline of three continents. It discovered or formulated nearly half of the world's routes.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Betkas represents the pinnacle of the maritime power of the Kingdom of Sigmar. At the launch ceremony of the last voyage of the Betkas, the king of the Kingdom of Sigmar loudly declared to all the guests from all over the world,

You have mastered the land, but the ocean will always belong to Sigmar's rhetoric, even if it sounds like a joke now.

After the Beitkas completed its third voyage around the continent, it decided to do something that no one had ever done before, which was to explore the end of the Endless Sea or the Sea of ​​Silence.

In the world of Velen, the ocean on the west side of the Velen continent is called the Endless Sea, while the ocean on the east side of the Minsk continent is called the Sea of ​​Silence. According to the church and some folklore, these two oceans are endless and have no end.

, and people in the past never thought of exploring the ends of these two oceans, until the Beitkas appeared.

In the end, the Beitkas disappeared into the Sea of ​​Silence and never appeared again. And its last mark in the history of navigation was that it disappeared instead of sinking.

For people like Sylvia, Tessa Morka and others who like adventure, the Beitkas is definitely an immortal legend, and they all have a strong respect for the Beitkas.

For Mist and Randall, who were born in the Kingdom of Sigmar, the significance of this ship is even more extraordinary. It can be said to be the incarnation of Sigmar. They have read the story of the Beitkas since they were young.

I grew up with the play Betkas.

Someone once joked that if a Betkas church was established in the Kingdom of Sigmar, nearly two-thirds of the people in the Kingdom of Sigmar would join this church without hesitation.

Now, this legendary ship suddenly appeared in front of them, and the shock it brought to their hearts was completely beyond words.

While others were completely immersed in the shock of the Betkas appearing in front of their eyes, Leo had no such special feelings at all. In his eyes, this was just a sailing ship, and what interested him was

It's the unknown object in this ship that affects the spiritual network, and why this ship appears on Rum Peak.

"I'll go in and take a look. Maybe I can find something like the captain's log." Leo suggested.

"Are you alone?" Sylvia said dissatisfied: "I want to see it too."

"It's best not. This ship looks unstable. I don't know what will happen if there is an accident." Leo said, looked at Mister and Randall, and said: "The two of them

He will die here."

Seeing what Leo said, even though Sylvia wanted to get on the boat and have a look, she still endured it and said nothing more.

Afterwards, Leo jumped under the boat and landed on the deck of the boat above. There were no bones on the deck. Cables, buckets and other items were all placed on the deck intact and tied to a mast.

A corpse, it looked like he was a punished sailor, but the strange thing was that there were no other corpses on the deck, and there were no corpses inside the ship.

Leo didn't get too entangled in this issue and walked directly towards the captain's room, where the captain's logbook should be stored and where the source of interference to Leo's mental network was located.

The moment he entered the captain's room, Leo immediately felt that all the extraordinary power in his body had disappeared and could no longer be felt in his body. Only his spiritual energy and the power of his body's blood remained intact, while his spiritual network

It was completely affected and could no longer detect any useful information.

Leo, who felt the changes in his body, did not panic. He looked around calmly, and his eyes soon fell on an opened metal box on the captain's desk.

Leo walked over and looked at the box, and found that the box contained a very ordinary-looking bone, and it was this bone that caused all the extraordinary powers in Tao's body to disappear.

However, in addition to this bone, this metal box also attracted Leo's attention, because judging from the unique reddish-purple luster that appears on the metal surface and some metal patterns hidden in the luster, this piece of metal is likely to be

It is made of Aidano metal.

In the universe, Aidano metal is a unique metal produced on the Aidano planet. This metal is also called a balance metal. Its function is to balance any abnormal energy fluctuations in the universe, so this metal is also used by all spacecraft and energy sources.

It is a key component of the laboratory emergency rescue system, because when the spacecraft and energy laboratory encounter any abnormal conditions, such as the spacecraft engine being overloaded, the energy laboratory losing control, etc., the emergency rescue system made of this metal can be operated.

Balances all abnormal energy fluctuations.

It is precisely because this metal is very important and has extremely special effects that the mining, production, smelting, manufacturing and other processes of this metal are all directly controlled by the Supreme Council, and every component used is subject to very strict supervision.

, any loss will directly trigger an investigation team formed by the Supreme Council.

Leo had only heard about this metal and had never seen it, but he had personally experienced the effect of this metal. At that time, on the battlefield, the enemy used an unconventional energy weapon, and the energy weapon eventually went out of control.

It is possible to destroy the entire planet or even surrounding planets, and this metal-made emergency rescue system is activated, and the energy that is enough to destroy half the galaxy is calmed down instantly.

The scene was so shocking at the time that Leo still remembers it vividly to this day.

The box made of Aidano metal in front of Leo is obviously to limit the power of the bone. Although he doesn't know who made this box and whose bone it is, he knows this thing.

It's his now.

So, he directly covered the box and picked it up. The moment the box was covered, the surrounding effect field that affected the extraordinary power in his body also disappeared, and his mental network re-scanned the surrounding situation.

"Oops!" After receiving the feedback from the spirit network, Leo couldn't help but frowned, picked up a pile of documents that looked like logbooks on the table, jumped out of the window behind him, then opened his psychic wings, and

It glided in the air and landed steadily on the ground.
