The Mysterious World Under Steampunk - Chapter 1812

Although the two kingdoms of Root and Belent are like fire and water, whether on land or in the sea, wars are often fought, but both countries follow an unwritten rule, that is, they will not involve scholars from the two countries. In the midst of the war between the two countries, Professor Ferrance, who wanted to lead those scholars and students to conduct research in the New World, believed that even if there was a battle between Berent’s navy and Root’s navy, they would not be affected.

But what Professor Ferrance never expected was that they were not only involved in the naval battle, but were also regarded as the first victims, attacked and sunk first, without even a chance to reveal their identities.

Apparently, the Navy of the Kingdom of Root who launched the naval battle also knew that he had sunk a ship full of scholars and students, and realized that he had caused trouble, so he handed over the work of escorting the prisoners to the current Captain Buffy. Obviously, he was used as a scapegoat. Once the matter was exposed, the Root Navy would be able to directly push everything on Captain Buffy.

At this moment, the first thought in Captain Buffy’s mind was to throw all the captives in the cabin into the sea, completely destroying their corpses so that they would not be found on him, but he soon realized that this idea was absolutely the most stupid Because he really did this, it is equivalent to fulfilling the crime imposed on him.

So not only can he not kill the captives in the cabin, but let them live well or, especially Leo in front of him, only if they are alive, when things affect him, there are enough people with enough weight Help him to testify that the naval battle was not done by him.

While Captain Buffy was thinking about how to deal with the current crisis, Leo had already entered a separate small cabin on the ship under the guidance of the sailors for detention.

This small cabin was originally supposed to be prepared for sick sailors. There was only one bed in the room, and a window was opened on the wall. The window was so large that an adult could easily get in and out.

Getting sick at sea has always been the most dangerous thing, especially infectious diseases. Once someone gets sick, everyone on board may suffer, so once someone gets sick, the people on board will send him to this small cabin for isolation. If the sickness recovers, it will be released; if it is not cured, if it dies, it will be thrown directly into the sea through the window.

“My lord, do you need to prepare anything else?” Because of the captain’s order, the sailor who sent Leo over asked casually when the door was closed.

Leo asked, “Can you get me some books? It’s too boring to just stay in this room doing nothing.”

“Book?” The sailor was not only surprised that Leo would make the request, but also the content of the request. Obviously, the first time he heard the prisoner’s request was not better treatment, but a book.

For this request, he has no way to agree, because neither he nor his colleagues have read the book, so he said that he will give Leo an answer after asking the captain.

After locking the door and leaving, not long after, the sailor came back again, but at this time he already had a few more books in his hand. After handing the books to Leo, he locked the cabin door again, and then After leaving, he didn’t worry about Leo escaping from the window at all. Obviously, in his opinion, there was an endless ocean outside, and escaping was just a dead end, so there was no need to guard it so closely.

Leo opened the window, moved the bed to the window, sat on the bed, leaning against the window edge, holding the book, and flipped through it leisurely. While reading, he analyzed the language structure and grammar used to write the book.

Previously, what the captain and first mate of this prisoner transport ship had in their minds was actually what Leo intentionally did. The techniques they used were very common psychological speech skills, coupled with a little low-level psionic skills, to strengthen their own temperament And the voice finally guides the captain and the first mate to think in the direction they want.

During this period of time, Leo has been trying to use this kind of ability and method that was completely unusable before, especially all the non-release low-level psionic skills and techniques he knows, and the results are surprisingly good. Low-level psionic skills and techniques gain new insight.

In the past, Leo always believed that these low-level psionic skills and skills were just basic training created for proficiency in the use of psionic powers, and the effect on actual combat would not be particularly good, so he subconsciously ignored these low-level psionic skills. Psionic skills and wielding techniques.

But now, as high-level psionic skills, especially those that release form, are restricted by the laws of this world, he has to refocus on those low-level psionic skills and application skills, As a result, he quickly discovered that these previously neglected psionic skills and techniques seemed to contain effects beyond his expectations.

For example, those basic psychic skills that are specially used to transform the body and make it more suitable for psychic channeling. After practicing repeatedly these days, Leo found that his physical fitness seems to have improved. Although these improvements are very weak, if you do not observe carefully Barely noticeable, but to Leo it was enough to make him wonder.

You must know that this is the body of a ninth-level psyker. It is reasonable to say that it has evolved to the closest to the perfect state that ordinary life forms can achieve. If you go further, it will be beyond the level of life forms. However, such a perfect life form is in After basic psychic training, there is still room for evolution that can be perceived. Either this basic psychic skill is very powerful, comparable to a strategic-level psychic skill, or it is his own ninth-level psychic life form. There are evolutionary flaws.

In this regard, Leo felt that the second possibility was greater, but he did not completely deny the first possibility, because the basic psionic skills he practiced for body transformation and exercise except four came from the earth. Outside the Federation, other basic psionic skills of the same kind all come from the most complete set of psionic knowledge in the universe of the Sailing family, which means that those so-called basic psionic skills may only be one-sided views. In other psionic systems, his basic psionic skills might be strategic-level psionic skills.

In addition, through this short-term trial, Leo found that even if he could not use those powerful high-level spiritual skills, his combat power would not be weakened much. If he wanted to, he could easily kill all the creatures in this world For example, he can release highly toxic sweat through his sweat glands, let it evaporate and spread, easily kill all people who come into contact with it, and even turn the sweat into some kind of pheromone that stimulates the body or brain, and the left and right contacts Emotions and thoughts, let it go crazy and turn into a lunatic or turn it into the most loyal slave.

It’s just that Leo didn’t intend to really control many people, because doing so would distract him. The most important thing for him now is to figure out the real situation in this world. As for other things, they are secondary. Just a little trick to make yourself better off, you don’t need to do things that are too eye-catching or cause a lot of noise.

Leo spent the next few days reading in that small cabin, and was allowed to walk around on the deck when the weather was good. The treatment was much better than that of the captives in the cage. The people on board also knew what Leo was pretending to be. As oceanographers, they have an inexplicable respect for Leo. They often talk to Leo when Leo is spreading on the deck, and ask some weird questions. The most frequently asked questions are about the legend of the ghost ship. , and this question also aroused Leo’s interest.

The ghost ship appeared very early, before the Knight King of this world completed the short-lived unification of the mainland, when the sea was still shrouded in gray fog.

It is said that every time there is a storm, there will be lightning from the sky hitting the sea, and people on the shore can see one or many huge ships without sails looming in the gray fog through the light caused by the thunder, and feel like they are at any time. It is possible to rush out of the gray fog.

As a result, various legends about ghost ships appeared in this world, and the most widely circulated legend is the rumor about ghost ships from hell.

This makes Leo very interesting. Although there is no concept or rumors of gods in this world, there are legends of **** in this world, and they are very widespread. Almost all countries have their own legends of hell.

However, no matter which country or nation the legends of **** have something in common, for example, there is a city in all the legends of hell, and the souls of all people will enter this city to be judged after death. It is not good or evil, but merit. Whether a person’s merit is sufficient becomes the screening condition for that person’s treatment after death. A person with sufficient merit will enter a land of bliss after death, and after living in the land of bliss for a period of time, You can return to the place of origin, but those who do not have enough merit will be thrown into the sea of ​​blood in hell, assimilated by the sea of ​​blood, or become ghosts who can never be freed from the sea of ​​blood.

The sea of ​​blood is the second thing that must exist in all **** legends. The descriptions of the sea of ​​blood in all legends are boundless and endless oceans made of blood. No one knows what is in the sea of ​​blood, but everyone knows To think that all the horrible, scary things in the world converge in a sea of ​​​​blood, and the ghost ship is one of them.

Ghost ships appear in the legends of **** in the coastal kingdom, and in the legends of **** in the inland, ghost ships become ghost carriages, but the deep meaning they represent is death, and the death here includes both war and famine , more of a plague.

It is said that every time a ghost ship appears on the sea, there will be a large-scale death phenomenon in the kingdom corresponding to the sea area. It is rumored that the ghost ship will spread the death in the blood sea to the world. In return, the souls of the dead during this period will be killed The ghost ship is taken away, and some of the crew members who become ghost ships will live forever, while the other part will become sacrifices dedicated to the blood sea.

It is precisely because the ghost ship represents death, so in the coastal kingdoms of the mainland, people have an instinctive fear of the ghost ship, and among them, the fishermen are the most fearful.

However, with the disappearance of the gray fog, the fear of ghost ships has gradually diminished in the hearts of ordinary people in the coastal kingdoms. On the contrary, the legends about ghost carriages in the inland areas have become their new source of fear.

The reason for this is that after the gray fog disappeared, the ghost ship never appeared in the offshore area again. In just a few decades, ordinary people have gradually forgotten this ancient legend that has been widely circulated.

However, compared to ordinary people in these coastal kingdoms, those fishermen, sailors, and sailors who live on the ocean all year round are still in awe of ghost ships, because for them, ghost ships are still common things. And very dangerous.

Just like ghost ships would appear when storms hit in the past, when a ship sails at sea and encounters a storm, nine out of ten will also encounter ghost ships. The frequency is so high that almost everyone who lives at sea Everyone has encountered a ghost ship more than twice.

It’s just that the ghost ship in these populations is very different from the ghost ship in ancient legends. You also need to look up to see the top of the hull, which is so huge that it feels like it will be crushed at any time. In addition, this ghost ship has no sails, only the hull.

But now the ghost ships seen by the sailors at sea have become ordinary sailing ships, and they are no longer so huge that they make people feel suffocated, only slightly larger than ordinary ships.

But this does not mean that this kind of ghost ship is not dangerous. UU reading www.uukanshu.com In fact, the first group of sailors who saw this kind of ghost ship did not think it was a ghost ship, and thought that there might be treasures on board, so They all climbed onto the ghost ship. As a result, those who got on the ghost ship did not get off the ship until the ghost ship disappeared with the storm. After that, the horror legends about the new ghost ship spread among the seafarers of various countries. Gradually formed what is now the New Ghost Ship legend.

Some people have previously suspected that those ghost ships are actually the remains of ships that were lost at sea in various countries, but all those who have seen ghost ships have denied this statement, because they did not see any characteristic marks of coastal kingdom ships on the ghost ships, They only saw some special symbols on the ship that looked like words, which seemed to be the names of these ships, but no one has been able to answer the meaning of those symbols so far.

In addition to the characteristics of the ship, the more important thing is that the ocean-going ships used by the coastal countries are all built in imitation of the ghost ships they encountered. The early fishing boats in the coastal countries not only did not have sails, but also all only Flat-bottomed paddle boats sailing in the coastal waters cannot sail in the ocean at all. It was not until seeing the ghost ship in the shape of a sail that the coastal countries began to imitate the ocean-going sailing ships used by various countries based on the ghost ship, so the ghost ship is definitely not Possibly the remains of ships from various countries that have perished at sea..
