772 The Shipwreck at the Bottom of the Lake

 The water is stagnant and full of stench. When the fluorite falls, you can clearly see the black floc floating in the water.

Soon, fluorite hit bottom.

The huge shadow at the bottom of the lake also revealed its true face.

"This is... a ship?" The tattered canvas was stuck to the wooden pillars and was wilting in the water. The bare mast frame, black sediment hanging on it, and the vaguely visible cabin all showed that this was a sunken ship.

.

It is not unusual for a ship to sink, but it is very strange to sink at the bottom of this lake.

The area of ​​this lake is not small, but Angel has circled around before and did not find any outlet. There is no tributary connected to the sea outside. How did this ship sink? In other words, this ship sank.

How did you get to this lake?

There will never be a boatbuilder repairing a boat by this lake for no apparent reason. After repairing the boat, he found that he could not get out and finally sank.

Angel felt stupid just thinking about this possibility.

No shipwright would go to a dead lake to repair a ship, and from the glimpse just now, this ship should be a cargo ship. The journey of a cargo ship is an endless ocean, and it is impossible to live in this small lake.

So where did this ship come from?

Angel decided to go down to the lake to explore.

The purification force field was turned on, shielding the surrounding filth. Angel wandered around the bottom of the lake to confirm that there was no so-called secret passage in the lake, and then returned to the sunken ship.

The location of the sunken ship is exactly in the center of the lake. When you look down on the lake, you feel that the ship is very big. But when you really get close to the bottom of the water, you can see that the size of the ship is not as big as expected. It is even smaller than the Yunluo, and is about the same size as the Yunluo.

The feather fan number is almost the same.

The model of the ship is indeed a cargo ship, but Angel cannot tell which era the ship is from. If Helen or Alvin were here, they would probably be able to give the answer.

Angel got into the cabin to explore. There was foul-smelling black catkins everywhere. Within the scope of the fluorite light, he found nothing that could prove the identity of the ship.

When Angel came to the bottom cabin, he found that the centerline longitudinal beam of the keel was broken, and broken wood was floating in the water.

Judging from the cracks, it seems that a strong impact caused the longitudinal beam to break.

But this scar is on the bottom of the boat. With such a huge impact, almost nothing can cause it except giant sea monsters. But there are no sea monsters in this lake, not even living things.

So where did the rupture in the bottom of the ship come from?

Apart from the remains, Angel could not find anything valuable on the ship. Even the cargo on the ship was empty, and there was nothing in the captain's cabin.

Angel could only give up and return to the lake.

Regardless of the origin of this ship, there are currently two doubts about this ship. Why did it sink to the bottom of a dead lake with no way out? And, who caused the keel break at the bottom of the ship?

There are no sea monsters in the lake, so where does the bottom-up impact come from?

"It couldn't have fallen from the sky, right?" Angel muttered, and suddenly he was stunned.

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, as if he had captured some clue.

He hung in mid-air in silence, seemingly motionless, but in his brain, the memory box was rapidly flipping through past memories, and then combined them with what he saw after entering this area.

"Why can't it fall from the sky? The fact that the Ling Fan can go from here to the foggy area, and then disappear from the foggy area back here, doesn't that explain some problems." Angel opened his mind and guessed what was going on here.

possible fact.

Angel raised his head and looked at the dark sky.

Perhaps the space in this weird area is extremely unstable, and ships fall into it from time to time. But one day, a crack in the space appears above the lake, and the ship falls directly from high altitude.

Then a violent impact caused the bottom longitudinal beam of the ship to break, causing the ship to sink.

"Falling from the sky can explain why the cargo ship appears in a lake with no tributaries. It can also explain why there are cracks in the bottom of the ship."

Angel's eyes wandered to the iron pot on the stand on the shore, and he made up a picture in his mind. Maybe when the boat fell, not all the people inside died, and some people survived by luck and swam to the shore.

Next to it, a stove was built.

"But even if someone survives, they can't find food in this dead place. In the end, they will definitely have to die." Angel thought to himself, maybe the bones of those who survived are nearby.

There was no light, no food, and even the water source was dirty. They would have been injured if they fell, and they wouldn't be able to run far.

Sure enough, after a while Toby brought back two bones from a few hundred meters away.

It is worth mentioning that Angel found an iron box necklace on the neck of a skeleton. He had seen some sailors wearing the same necklace on the Yunluo.

The sailors themselves also know very well that if they make a living at sea, they will suffer a precarious end. Therefore, it is necessary to leave a suicide note when setting sail.

The iron box necklace is actually similar to a suicide note. The iron box usually contains the sailor's personal information and precious items. Sailors hope that if their bones are lucky enough to be discovered, the discoverer can pass the information contained in the iron box.

thing, identify him, and then send their bones back home.

The precious items in the iron box are the trading materials they prepared for the discoverers.

If the discoverer takes away the precious items, it means he has accepted the promise, but if he only takes the items and does nothing, he will suffer the curse and revenge of the deceased. Of course, this is just a legend and has no basis.

Angel couldn't find any clues about the boat at the bottom of the lake. He thought, maybe he could find some clues in the iron box necklace.

The iron box is not big, probably about one-third of the size of an adult's palm. The iron sheet on the outside has decayed, revealing rusty red mottled marks.

The iron box was opened, releasing a trail of dust. After the dust settled, the contents of the box appeared in front of Angel's eyes.

A chipped ruby ​​ring, and a piece of parchment folded to a small size.

The ring is a mortal thing, probably the money used to buy the bones and return them to his hometown.

Angel opened the parchment and wanted to see who this person was and whether he had anything to do with the sunken ship.

At the top of the parchment, the identity of the owner of the skeleton is recorded. His name is Goblin Flando, and his hometown is the Red Maple Kingdom in the Magic Eaves Corridor...

The handwriting of the personal information is very neat, and it was probably written before setting sail. However, below the personal information, it is written in an extremely sloppy way. It should have been hurriedly confessed before death. It can be seen that Gebrin's mood was not good when recording.

calm.

When Angel read all the content, his expression suddenly flashed.

His guess was indeed correct.

The sunken ship was named Yefu. It was originally a cargo ship bound for the mainland of Ferland from the Magic Canopy Corridor. When passing through the Gear Abyss, it suddenly fell into fog. Before they could react, it fell from the sky and hit this dead lake.

The ship crashed and everyone died. Gebring survived by luck, but lacked water and water. He stayed here for a while and wrote this sentence, and then he slept here forever with the Yefu.

In addition to this information, Angel also got two additional pieces of information from the leather paper.

The first is time. The time when the Ye Fu crashed into this lake was three hundred years ago, which is actually not that long. The second is that Gebrin wrote a sentence in a doubtful tone in the last row:

"Am I dazzled? Why, I saw a shadow whose dress was so similar to the legendary King of Violence?"

The legendary violent king?

If this is not a hallucination that Goblin had before his death, does it mean that there is another person here?

Angel suddenly remembered the flash of black shadow he saw not long ago. Could that shadow be the so-called King of Violence?

If it is true, then the other party has lived for hundreds of years.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Angel was very energetic and could not relax at all in this strange place.

He stuffed the parchment and ring back into the iron box and put them back on the skeleton's neck. He had no intention of taking Goblin's skeleton back to his hometown. If the Magic Eaves Corridor was a place he could go to, he would do good deeds.

It doesn't matter, but it's a pity that the Magic Eaves Corridor is completely opposite to the Revelation Continent he wants to go to.

Angel was preparing to leave the lake, but the pressure from the true wizard made him feel like he was carrying a mountain. He must find Lucas' treasure as soon as possible and then leave here.

Taking Toby with him, Angel continued to fly downward.

It didn't take long for them to leave the mountainous area. At the same time, Angel also vaguely felt the other coast of the island. Because the fishy smell carried by the wind became stronger, which meant that they were not far from the sea.

Angel also wandered around this area, but there was no trace of human beings except dead trees.

But when Angel emerged from a withered palm forest, his expression suddenly froze.

In front of him was the coast, but it was much more lively than the coast behind the cliff where the Ling Fan ran aground. Because just within Angel's line of sight, he saw countless... ships!

There are all kinds of ships, expedition ships, icebreakers, cargo ships, cruise ships, sailing ships, pirate ships... almost everything you want, but these ships are all filled with an old-fashioned atmosphere, almost exactly the same as the Ling Fan, and they all died here.

There is also the light of fluorite on some ships, which makes this coast look not too bleak.

But the light of these fluorites, combined with the lifeless ships, makes people's hearts tingle. It's like being in a dark mountain forest, it's okay to not see anything, but at this moment, a pile of phosphorus fire suddenly rises,

The feeling of horror will be even more amplified.

"This is completely a graveyard for ships." Angel whispered to himself.

If the Yefu fell into this strange place of death because of unstable space, what about the ships here? Is it also because of unstable space? But even if it is unstable, it should have fallen into this strange place just like the Yefu and Lingfan.

Various regions, instead of all piled up on this coast?

Moreover, Angel flew in a straight line from the other end of the island where the Ling Fan is located to this end; in the process, he did not find any place where treasure could be hidden. It cannot be said that this part of the ship is

The tomb is Lucas's treasure, right?

Angel was completely confused.

There are more and more doubts surrounding this strange island.
