"Don't mess with my antiques!" Dr. Booker shouted when he saw Tyding fussing around, "Didn't your mother teach you etiquette? You can touch other people's things at will when you go to other people's homes?"
"Oh, I'm sorry." Taiding didn't expect that Dr. Booker, who was still humorous just now, would suddenly become so arrogant and restless. He apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Booker, but where did you get these things from?
of?"
He was referring to the skeleton of a rare animal displayed in Booker's spacious hall. This skeleton had a weird shape that even Du Fei had never seen before.
"Oh?! That's what you're talking about," Dr. Booker suddenly became interested and introduced to everyone: "Have you seen this big guy? What's surprising is that this is called the Overlord Crocodile. I have never seen such a big guy."
A big crocodile? This is a monster I found in a remote area of the Atlantic Ocean. Unfortunately, he was already dead when I found him."
"What! You mean, this thing is a crocodile?" Taiding's eyes almost popped out of his sockets: "Is it really a crocodile? God! I can't believe it!"
"This crocodile is really big." Compared to Taiding, Du Fei had obviously seen much more of the world, but he was also surprised by such a big guy: "This kind of crocodile can probably even be used on ships."
Swallow it in one gulp? How did you get it back?"
"Good question," Dr. Booker sighed and said, "Hey, it took me a lot of effort to transport him back. It took at least three whalers to transport him back!"
"It seems that you are very interested in these ancient creatures," Du Fei took the wine from Dr. Booker and kept looking at the huge crocodile skeleton.
The crocodile is a little different. There is a bunch of spikes in the middle of its head, just like the fins on the back of a shark, and it looks very domineering.
"Dr. Booker, please forgive me for asking directly, as a scholar, why are you interested in these things that are supposed to be done by adventurers?" Du Fei asked puzzledly.
"Haha," Dr. Booker did not answer Du Fei, but asked him back: "You look like a businessman, but why are you not interested in the queen's reward, but are you looking for some illusory spring in the sea?"
Du Fei didn't answer what he said for a long time. After a long silence, he smiled slightly: "My reason is not as simple as you think."
"No matter what, our goals are the same, aren't we?" Dr. Booker and Du Fei said words to each other that outsiders could not understand, but they both had understanding smiles on their faces.
They immediately began to use the information about the springs in the sea that Booker had collected over the past year. Although they did not directly obtain the exact location, there was a record in an ancient classic, which mentioned that "three holy springs point the way to the world in the center of the sea."
Verses like "Direction".
"According to this ancient poem, these three springs are close to each other, namely the fountain of light, the fountain of darkness and the fountain of confusion." Dr. Booker pointed to the illustration of the book and said: "Look, this book
The decoration of people in the book is still from the ancient Roman era, and these pages are still sheepskin inserts 2, which shows that these three springs existed a long time ago. In addition, the meaning of this poem is very obscure, and it seems to contain some secret...
Guiding the world's direction, this is probably a pun, and its meaning is the different effects represented by these three springs."
"You mean, drinking the water from these springs also has special effects?" Du Fei was already confused by the inexplicable effects of these springs and was miserable. Not to mention that these three springs have any other effects, just because he has found them
The Resurrection Spring already put him in a dilemma. These springs with messy effects were mixed together and he didn't know what the consequences would be if he drank it.
"Look, this poem explains the general location of the spring. Let's see, it's in the sea called Bermuda..." Dr. Booker suddenly changed his expression: "That's a scary place! To be honest, I
I really don’t want to have anything to do with it! It’s called God’s forbidden area!”
"What's wrong?" Du Fei saw that the doctor who was so high-spirited just now suddenly shrank as if he had become shorter, and he was very confused: "Is there any problem?"
"Bermuda, I've heard about it too." Taiding turned pale and said slowly: "I've heard rumors about it in the Royal Navy. It's said that all ships approaching that sea area have mysteriously disappeared, and
The fishermen saw huge creatures flying in the sky of Bermuda and were frightened! There is a prohibition in our naval regulations, which strictly prohibits anyone from approaching the Bermuda area for any reason! But to be honest, this is not necessary at all
Ban, no one takes the risk...Anyone who suspected that Bermuda wanted to challenge it has disappeared."
"Is it really so evil?" Du Fei didn't look timid at all, but became more and more excited: "I want to see what the so-called restricted area is like!"
Booker's stern face suddenly showed a slightly ferocious smile: "I like what you said! Young man! You have the same energy as I did back then! I didn't say it! Since you are not afraid, of course I am not afraid of old bones.
necessary!"
At this time, Taiding was watching them blankly, with an expression as if he was about to cry.
He really didn't want to take any more risks, but the Queen casually appointed him as a representative of the royal family to take nearly a hundred Royal Navy to assist Du Fei and Dr. Booker in their operations. He just wanted to resign and take the initiative - should he be a
In front of the Queen, he said: I'm not going! My wife is waiting for me at home? I guess as soon as he said this, he would become the target of ridicule from people across the country.
In order to deceive those Dutch warships, they still chose the Spanish galleon. However, the crew was already very abundant at this time. Most of the personnel were elite sailors selected from the British Royal Navy. In order to cope with the various situations they were about to face, they
Various equipment has been specially prepared, including a large number of lifeboats and emergency equipment.
"Sir, do you have any orders?" The newly sent captain smiled and walked towards Taiding, who in his opinion had the highest military rank and status, but Taiding repeated his words again, and of course reported them to
Du Fei.
Dr. Booker had noticed this subtle phenomenon a long time ago. He thought it was incredible at first. A lieutenant commander of the Royal Navy actually looked at the face of an adventurous businessman? But he was not willing to interfere with such noisy matters, and Du Fei's character
It suits his temper, and he is willing to let such a young man with a strong desire to control lead everyone forward.
At this time, Du Fei looked at his new subordinates and felt a little more confident, but of course they were not comparable to his own Kuihuang. It was just that the Kuihuang and his cronies
His men were all blocked on the other side of the canal, unable to come over at all.
He had secretly made up his mind to drive this ship to find the three sacred springs in the Atlantic Ocean in the shortest possible time, and then rendezvous with everyone as soon as possible. He was worried that everyone would be impatient and choose to fight against the nearly enemy Dutch fleet.
Head-to-head.
After they advanced for several days according to the directions described in ancient books, they realized that something was getting more and more wrong.
"Sir, do you think that the current position of the sun is a bit strange?" Taiding said worriedly: "We don't know where it is now. All compasses and compasses have failed!"
"I noticed it too." Du Fei held in his hand the spoon-shaped compass he brought from China. It is the clumsiest but most reliable instrument. At this time, it could barely get rid of interference and pointed southward.
.
Du Fei looked at the spoon and compass in his hand and found that it was also trembling slightly and shaking slightly, as if it was affected by something.
At this time, he did not know that under his feet, below the deck of the ship, there were some people experiencing the same troubles as them.
Those people were the sharks led by Fierce Crow, who had formed a quarrel with Du Fei. They were not here to bring trouble to Du Fei, but they brought their own jellyfish army and a few subordinates to expand this place for themselves.
's territory.
"Your Highness, I think this place seems a bit strange!" One of Ji Ya's men hesitated and looked at the ambitious Ji Ya, feeling very uneasy.
In fact, he doesn't need to say it. Fierce Crow himself has clearly noticed the strangeness of the surrounding environment. The water flow and water temperature here are very different from other places. However, he really can't let go of this territory because there is only one place for him to expand.
Since he annexed the Jellyfish Clan, he has been waiting for opportunities to expand outwards. However, he soon found to his disappointment that his father was not idle either, and was also desperately trying to occupy the neutral zone, and he
Although he has the jellyfish army as backup now, it is nothing compared to his father, the Great Prophet Kobu.
That's why he took the risk and prepared to attack a 'forbidden zone' that no creature in the sea dared to set foot in. That restricted zone was the same place that Du Fei and others aimed at.
Fierce Crow felt a little regretful at this time. He also felt the thick murderous aura in the cold sea water! But he always held an illusion. He was unwilling to be defeated by his father like this. He understood that if he fell into the hands of his father Kebu this time,
In his hands, it must be a dead end!
"Keep moving forward!" The fierce crow shouted bravely. Under his order, the swarms of large jellyfish moved forward slowly. What does a sea area mean? It means a new habitat, which means that you can
Get more resources and troops to supplement.
The jellyfish are also happy to play this role, because they are the main force for the development of the fierce crows. If they occupy this territory, this place will eventually become their nest.
