When Turas told the answer, Angel was completely confused.
Who inserted that sword? It was Turas himself.
Let’s start with the time when Turas’s Savage Beast entered the closed island. At that time, the Savage Beast had not yet reached the Gear Abyss and was still sailing in the Devil’s Sea. One night, a group of people on the ship headed by the deputy captain,
There was a mutiny...
To put it bluntly, brothers are fighting each other, and the reason can be guessed without much thought: money and silk are attractive to people.
Turas was going to Fan Continent to find the way to the wizard, so naturally he had to bring all the treasures collected over the years on the ship. Such a large amount of treasures shook the core led by the deputy captain. They didn't want to go to Fan Continent, they just wanted to get the treasure.
Returning to the original continent to enjoy the blessings, the Savage Beast appeared in the drama of the internal struggle of this group of pirates.
In the end, Tulas naturally won.
Turas happened to kill the vice-captain near the stern of the ship. He drew his sword on the spot and thrust it into the center of the rudder. He shouted and threatened the other people around him: "The vice-captain has been decapitated. Those of you who follow him are fooling around."
Could it be that you still don’t see the situation clearly and just surrender, I will spare your death!”
As soon as the threat came out, the deputy captain and his group surrendered after a stalemate for a period of time.
This is the whole story of why the sword was inserted into the rudder. After Turas regained control of the Savage Beast, he did not pull the sword out of the rudder in order to demonstrate.
Not long after, they arrived at the Gear Abyss, and finally everyone fell asleep on that dead island.
"In other words, you inserted the sword? The treasure in the hidden room underground is also yours? You never gave it to others?" Angel asked.
Tulas nodded: "That's right."
Angel's brows furrowed, and it turned out to be the case again. The record in Lucas's voyage diary contained another deviation and fallacy.
Lucas's original words were: He met pirates, and all the pirates died under his sword. He even cut off the head of the pirate leader and seized a ship full of treasure. In order to demonstrate, he wore
The sword was thrust into the rudder of the pirate ship. Finally, he confiscated the treasures and put them in his own treasure trove.
Almost every plot in this passage has happened in history.
However, the subject is not Lucas, but all replaced by Turas. Whether it is killing pirates, inserting swords, or hiding treasures in treasure places, it is all realized by Turas in disguise.
Even the beheading was done by Turas.
However, it was not Lucas who beheaded the pirates. It was Turas who beheaded Lucas' skeleton on the Winged Fan, and even took his head back as a souvenir.
Everything is an amazing coincidence, but it is completely inconsistent with the "prophecy". It is exactly the same as the sea of flowers and the wishing tree before!
"Is this really a prophecy?" Angel rubbed his temples, feeling that Turas had said so much. He could faintly realize that he seemed to have touched the core of the incident, but he could never find a complete explanation.
The context ties the whole thing together.
Lucas's logbook, the dead island, and Turas. What is the relationship between the three?
Angel decided to continue listening. He felt that the clue that could connect everything together must not have appeared yet. The story line could not be just an outline. He needed a logic to tell the story.
Perhaps this "story logic" is the so-called third-party power.
"Go on and talk about your life on that island. Let's talk about the time when you were still alive first. If there is anything strange and strange, you must not hide it," Angel said.
Turas began to tell his story
After the cave was repaired, the group of them temporarily lived there. They did not find any danger or wild beasts on the island. At first, they were relatively lucky, at least they did not have to worry about being attacked by wild beasts. But as time went by, they found that there were no
Living things may be the biggest punishment. If there are living things, it at least means there is no shortage of food and water.
The first difficulty they encountered was lack of water.
After the fresh water resources stored on the ship were consumed, they had no water to drink. Although there were lakes on the island, the water in those lakes was extremely dirty. Just standing by the lake and smelling the smell made me want to vomit.
Not to mention drinking.
But due to the pressure of survival, they still drank the dirty lake water, which was boiled of course. Although there was still sediment, it was good to drink it.
The water problem seems to be solved, but the consequence is that several people are sick and have diarrhea. There are not many medical drugs. In the end, all the sick people have to rely on hard work. When they are boiling, they also have to drink.
water, and as a result, their physical condition worsened. It was like an endless cycle of reincarnation, and in the end they became the first people to die.
The second difficulty is loneliness and loneliness.
Surrounded by eternal darkness and endless loneliness, with no way out in sight, everyone is in despair. The reason why Tulas's obsession is so deep is that it is the obsession that slowly builds up in this boundless loneliness.
high wall.
The third difficulty is the shortage of food.
Many people died from illness, and they continued to die. Loneliness also made many people choose to commit suicide. Therefore, the food stored on the ship was actually quite sufficient at the beginning. After all, they had to cross the sea to Fan Continent, and the food storage was at least based on years.
But the food will eventually run out.
After everyone else died, Turas was the last person alive. Not only was he lonely, but after staying in the dark for an unknown amount of time, he also suffered from food shortages. He saved food every day, and in order to reduce his activities,
He didn't even go out for activities, he just lay on the bed in a hole in the ground, just to live longer.
Tulas didn't want to die at all. As long as he had a chance to live, he was willing to live on even if it lasted for decades.
Unfortunately, resources are limited, and no matter how much he saves, they will eventually be used up.
Turas starved to death in the end. In the last period of time, he lived in a state of collapse. He prayed every day, praying that someone could take him out, praying that a ship with sufficient food could come in, and praying not to die...
…
But in the end, death came.
When Turas told this, his expression was sad. Almost everyone who lives on the sea knows the skills to survive on a deserted island, but they are living on a lifeless island. Even if they have the skills to survive, they don't have any.
Any use.
"Perhaps, this is my destiny. Destiny is like the hands hiding behind the clouds and mist. We are like puppets, manipulated by it at will, and the final outcome is destined to be like this." Tulas' voice was low,
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, feeling a little sad.
After Angel heard what he said, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. He wanted to catch it, but it seemed that he was a step too late.
What is it? What is the truth?
Angel kept thinking about the last words Turas said about fate. This kind of rhetoric is not unfamiliar. Many pessimists will have such thoughts. But why did he hear these words just now?
What about a flash of inspiration?
After thinking about it for a long time, Angel thought for a while and continued to ask: "Are you sure nothing strange happened during this process?"
Turas thought for a long time and shook his head: "Except for the sudden appearance of the ship and the inexplicable appearance of the skeleton later, there seems to be nothing else... No! Yes!"
Turas seemed to have remembered something: "I remembered, that head!"
"What head?" Angel asked, and then he remembered what Turas said before: "Lucas's head?"
"Who is Lucas?" Tulas was stunned.
"He is the owner of the skeleton whose head you chopped off," Angel said bluntly.
Turas said "Oh" and then nodded: "Yes, that's the skull, Lucas's skull!"
"In my last days as a living person, I was in a dying state, so I often had hallucinations. I couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion in many things, but one thing I could distinguish was Lucas's skull.
Always shine."
Angel: Shining skull again?
Angel suddenly remembered something. In order to avoid the sight of Livia Hall, he stayed in that cave for a while. At that time, Toby once said that there seemed to be a golden light inside. But after he entered, he did not see it.
to the so-called luminous objects.
Is it possible that this luminous object is actually the skull that has been placed beside Tulas' bed?
"You said you saw the skull flashing. What color was the flashing light?" Angel couldn't help but ask.
"Golden light!"
Angel: "..." It seems that it is indeed that skull. It seems like this skull hides something strange? Unfortunately... he didn't know it at the time, and thought it was some kind of luminous object in the treasure inside.
Angel was a little regretful that he did not take away the skull. But it was normal. Who would take away a skull inexplicably?
At this time, Toby, who was sleeping in Angel's breast pocket, turned over beautifully.
Angel: "How did you determine that the glowing head was not a hallucination before your death?"
Tulas: "Because after I died, I became an undead. I still remember that the head glowed from time to time..."
"After turning into an undead, does it also glow? Is there any pattern to its glow?"
Turas shook his head: "There's no pattern. It often lights up for no apparent reason... Oh, by the way, it seems to have two light-emitting modes, one is flashing and the other is always on."
"What is the difference between these two luminous frequencies?"
"There doesn't seem to be any pattern to the flickering. Anyway, when I'm around, it always flickers for no apparent reason. As for staying on..."
Just when Tulas was about to say something, he suddenly paused. The memory box was opened, and a memory fragment hidden in the deepest depths suddenly popped out.
