The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo didn't know if the figurehead of the Jackdaw was a sacred object of the Church of the Jackdaw, but he could be sure that when the figurehead was intact, it should be a powerful spiritual item, because even in the past After being exposed to the sun and rain on the beach of this island for a long time, the spiritual power it possesses is still very strong.

When he touched the figurehead with his hand, the psionic power of the figurehead attacked him uncontrollably, like a frightened wild animal, the palm that touched the psionic power was instantly covered with a layer of ice, And a chill continued to intensify, penetrating into the hands.

Leo didn't use any witchcraft, but simply used spiritual energy to dispel the chill, and took his hand away from the figurehead, the ice seal on his hand immediately disintegrated, and soon returned to normal.

A small confrontation has already allowed Leo to understand some details of the remaining power in the figurehead. Although this psionic energy is not strong, it is extremely penetrating and chaotic, with no possibility of control, so he also scaled up the figurehead. Like the idea of ​​cutting it down and crafting it into a wizard's wonder.

Leo, who no longer pays attention to the figure of the ship, boarded the famous Jackdaw. Although many parts of the ship have decayed, the keel and other structures are still intact. Obviously, the materials used for the keel when building this sailboat should be the same as the deck. Materials vary from place to place.

Leo wasn't too interested in the ship itself, what he was interested in was whether there were any valuable things on board, so he searched every detail on the ship carefully.

Soon, Leo found a secret safe in the captain's room, which was under the captain's table and covered by a rotten blanket.

Leo went to the captain's room and looked carefully to see if there were books such as sailing diaries, but unfortunately found nothing. Instead, he found a few long scimitars and hand-wound short crossbows that were most popular among pirates at that time. These few items have some collection value, and many people will be willing to buy them at a high price if they are placed in some auctions. If it can be proved that it comes from the famous Jackdaw, then the price will be astonishingly high.

It's a pity that these items are of 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 value, these few things that can only be regarded as historical objects seem to have no value at all.

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

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

The shape of this safe is a Rubik's cube, and each face of the Rubik's cube corresponds to a different Gamore language root. 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, even if Leo calculated without sleep for a hundred years, he might not be able to open this safe.

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

When Leo grabbed the safe from under the floor, he found that a hole had been broken in the safe. Judging from the location, this corrosive liquid comes from the bottom of the ship, so Leo can also see an arm-sized hole that leads directly to the lower cabin from the bottom of the groove that holds 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 gradually corroding it from the outside to open it, and the person who did this was probably the crew of the ship, otherwise If not, it is impossible to determine the location of the safe so accurately.

As for who opened the safe, Leo is not too interested now, what he is interested in is what is in the safe.

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

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

Thinking of this, Leo quickly put together these broken stones one by one like a jigsaw puzzle, and quickly put together a complete shape. After seeing the complete object put together by the broken stones, Leo felt a little familiar, And he quickly remembered that this object was the stone ball that banned the Eye of Reality, but it had shrunk many times.

Leo put the assembled fragments in front of his eyes and looked carefully, and found that there was indeed a magic circle composed of a large number of Turing roots on the surface of the fragments, but most of the contents were worn out due to unknown reasons, and more importantly, he It was found that the reason for the shattering of the stone ball was not from external force, but from the inside out, which means that the forbidden things in the stone ball escaped.

A picture could not help appearing in Leo's mind. When the Jackdaw was returning from the naval battle, a traitor appeared in Drake's crew. This traitor may have been planned for a long time. In the state, sneaked into the cabin below the captain's cabin, and then passed through the wooden board under the captain's cabin through an unknown method, opening a hole in the safe.

However, when he opened the hole, the stone ball in the safe shattered, and the unknown thing sealed by the stone ball and the safe escaped, eventually causing the fall of the Jackdaw.

Now the question that Leo thinks of is whether the traitor in the Drake crew accidentally destroyed the Turing root on the stone ball and released the banned unknown, or his purpose of doing this is to release the unknown .

Although no other clues have been found yet, Leo is more inclined to the second one, because judging from the traces on the stone ball and the safe, the method prepared by the traitor crew is to push the Turing root. It is a substance that completely restrains the root of Turing.

This kind of miraculous substance, not to mention the present, is probably invaluable even in the past, and it is even more catastrophic for wizards. The church will definitely attach great importance to those who master this substance, money, status, honor It was easy to get, so the purpose of the traitor crew member coming to the safe was definitely not for money, something he could easily get.

After making a rough guess in his mind, Leo stood up and searched the room carefully. The room was very clean. This kind of cleanliness does not mean that there is no dust, but that the owner of the room left everything in the room. Cleaned up.

Most of the things left in the house are decorations, or trophies with special meanings. There are also some precious wines and some old navigation records. Apart from that, there is nothing with words up.

The bookshelves on the wall of the room are empty. From the traces on the surface of the bookshelves, it is not difficult to see that a large number of books have been placed here before, and each book is very thick and heavy, and the wooden boards of the bookshelves are pressed out. It is obvious that 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 on the side deck, and came to the cabin on the ground floor. Then stepped on some rotten planks and walked towards the cabin below the captain's cabin.

I saw that this cabin was originally supposed to be a material cabin, and it contained a lot of food and drinking water. Now these things have completely decayed, and there are only some broken cloth bags and wooden barrels.

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

And beside the gravel, Leo also saw something like a sacrificial bottle, and beside the sacrificial bottle, there was a severed skeleton hand. Judging from the wound of the skeleton's severed hand, it was obvious that it was not severed, but It was broken by corrosion, and it seems that the person who destroyed the safe did not have a good end.

"Huh! This is..." At this moment, Leo saw a ring on a phalanx of the severed hand, and a beautiful rose on the ring.

In the world of Vinylon, there are many people who use roses as family badges, but the most famous ones are the red roses of the British royal family and the white rose family of the Lord Protector of the Kingdom of England, and only these two families use a rose. A top view rose in full bloom, although the royal red rose is larger and the Lord Protector's white rose is smaller and has one less petal.

Obviously, from the face of this ring, it is not difficult to see that this is the rose badge 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 English royal family, his power expanded rapidly, and he owned many warships, forming a fleet. Even if the royal family of England has absolute trust in Drake, the aristocratic council of the Kingdom of England will not allow a commoner to have such a large fleet, so they will definitely put some people on Drake's ship. Naturally, the balance will also arrange for some people to become Drake's deputy.

However, what makes Leo a little puzzled now is that the relationship between Drake and the royal family of England should be very good. Containment, obtaining 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 on Drake's ship arranged by the British royal family betrayed Drake at that time, destroyed Drake's personal safe, and released the banned unknown substance, which is really against common sense. The only thing that can be explained is that the value of the sealed unknown in the stone ball is far greater than that of Drake himself, otherwise the royal child would not be able to do such a thing.

While making inferences, Leo took the missing ring off the severed arm, and carefully looked inside the ring.

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

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

Leo doesn't know what kind of identity this pattern represents, but he can be sure that the owner of this ring is definitely a senior member of the Sea God Church supported by the royal family of England, because in the Sea God Church of the Kingdom of England, the Sea God The close servant is a giant octopus. It is said that the octopus guarded the entrance and exit of the abyss under the sea for Poseidon, preventing any monsters from coming out of the abyss, and at the same time preventing anyone from entering the abyss from there, so there will be a huge octopus accompanying every Poseidon statue.

Leo made some conjectures based on the ring, and at the same time 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 spirit net. , After finding his target, he walked over directly.

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

Compared with the clean captain's room, 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 royal family of England died suddenly, and the things that ran out of the stone ball were attacking the crew on the Jackdaw, the situation was very chaotic, so the rooms of the members of the royal family of England were not cleaned up, and it was even possible that what happened when he left? So, what is the scene that Leo sees now.

After Leo entered the room, he walked directly to the desk next to the window, carefully opened the drawer that was about to decay, and saw a book with an unknown animal skin as the cover in the drawer.

When he scanned the room with the spirit net just now, Leo discovered this book for the first time, because he felt a very weak spiritual energy on the cover of this book. Obviously, the animal skin originated from some kind of spiritual energy Moreover, he also discovered that perhaps because of the effect of the psionic energy contained in the animal skin, none of the pages inside the book were corrupted, and remained relatively intact.

After finding the book, Leo didn't read it in a hurry, but took the book, returned to the deck of the ship, and looked 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, piled them up into a crude fire pit , put the wood into the pile, and then light the fire, using this place as a simple temporary shelter.

Afterwards, Leo took out some food from the storage space that he got from the Queen Mary, heated it up, leaned against the fire, took out the book just now while eating, carefully Looked up.
