Chapter 166: Noon and Night
Whew!
A loud wheezing sound slowly but regularly reached Crane's ears, sending chills down his spine and a sense of fear in his heart for no apparent reason, but no premonition of danger.
Not only him, but Gardelia "Star General", Frank "Toxin Expert" Lee, and all the other pirates heard the gasp, and they either turned their heads sideways, or looked outside, or took up arms, or were on high alert, showing their experience.
After a moment's discernment, Crane realized that the violent wheezing sound came from the ruins in front of him, between the peaks of rocks and pillars above the sea.
At this moment, Heath Doyle, the "Bloodless", emerged from the shadows, covered his head with his hands, and snorted in pain:
"There's a corpse......
"There's a corpse there!"
Corpse?Corpse with a huge gasp?Klein's thoughts flickered, and he subconsciously took off his heavy glasses and looked at the ruins, and his face suddenly became solemn, and he turned to the pirates in the restaurant and said:
"Quick!
"Speed around there, don't get close!"
Her voice was a little magnetic, and the sailors rushed out of the dining room to the place where they needed help. Under the command of Navigator Ottorov and Boatswain Nina, they adjusted their sails, changed their course, and crossed the ruins from a distance.
It wasn't until the peaks of the stacked pillars of stone disappeared from the horizon that Heath Doyle, the Bloodless, lowered his hands, his expression no longer so painful.
Seeing this scene, Klein narrowed his eyes, feeling that this "Bishop of the Rose", the second mate of the "Future", may be a big hidden danger for this voyage.
This is not his discrimination against the extraordinary people of the "Secret Prayer Man", but the judgment made by combining the description of the "Star General" and the performance of Heath Doyle just now:
Just now, everyone heard a loud wheezing, but only Heath Doyle became distressed, intuitively believing that there was a corpse buried in the ruins, and Gardelia's performance after examination indirectly proved his words.
In other words, even if Heath Doyle does not actively listen to the voice of the "true creator", he with the extraordinary ability of "listener" will hear more in normal circumstances than ordinary people and most of the middle and low order extraordinary people. When he encounters the wheezing sound just now, when the source of the sound is close enough, he will be affected even more, and get more information about the danger
This is not to say that avoiding similar ruins and ruins will solve the corresponding problems, because according to the "Star General" Gardelia, this sea is full of unheard sounds that can make demigods lose control, and if Heath Doyle is not in good shape or too good one day, he may hear the "deadly whispers".
Similarly, the "Bishop of the Rose" in Sequence 6 is not too far apart from the demigods who are not good at listening, and the "dice of probability" is explained by the fact that only 2 points are rolled, and instead of 1 point, Heath Doyle will go crazy or lose control in the sound that should not be heard...... The "Hermit" lady must be reminded, although she should have thought of it a long time ago and was prepared accordingly...... Crane withdrew his gaze and heard a less noticeable gurgling in his stomach.
He hadn't had time to eat breakfast yet.
By this time, the pale beer was spilled on the floor, the cream was trampled everywhere, and the pan-fried fish, grilled toast, white bread and other foods were either lying or hanging, and they had become quite dirty.
If you remove the outer layer, you should be able to eat it...... Crane looked at a loaf of bread leaning against the leg of the table, hesitating to act.
This contradicts the character of Gelman Sparrow!
When he decided to wait for lunch, Gardelia, the "star general", instructed the cook:
"Re-prepare breakfast for the rest.
"These give Frank, maybe, maybe he's useful. ”
Cultivating "monsters"? Klein complained in his heart.
After a while, he finally had a breakfast that wasn't as rich as it had been before: a smoked pork sausage with two slices of crispy toast, and a light beer with no added sedatives for water.
Because he was driving in very dangerous seas, which could change at any time, Klein played the style of eating in the cafeteria when he was in college, and it only took a minute or two to sweep away his breakfast.
Out of the pirate dining room, he went to the deck, half for a walk after dinner, half to observe the environment.
At this time, the sea is still illuminated by the midday sun, faintly dyed with layers of gold.
Crane paused to look at the spot and saw a point of light growing in front of him.
Under the illumination of the sun, the light refracted the sparkling dream hidden multi-colored glow, like a huge, transparent gem.
As the Future continued to sail forward, the point of light gradually revealed its own appearance.
It splits and then clears, turning out to be four huge pillars carved from pure diamond.
They are like giant towers supporting the sea in myths and legends, extending downward, standing steadily, holding up a small floating island.
Above the floating islands, the soil is charred and black, without a trace of green. In its depths, the light was unusually bright, better than the midday sky.
Suddenly, a long hiss came from there.
The sound was loud and wanton, but it didn't have that hair-raising sense of danger.
It wasn't long before Klein heard the clatter of horses galloping and saw two horses made of gold rushing out of the floating island, behind them pulling an equally golden chariot.
At this moment, the voice of the "Star General" Gardelia was somewhat amplified, and it quickly echoed in every corner of the "Future":
"Keep your head down!
"Don't look!"
Klein has never been a reckless person, and subconsciously followed such words and buried his head and looked at his leather boots.
He noticed that the sunlight shining on the deck was getting brighter and brighter, and then it was quickly returning to its previous appearance.
"No problem. Gardelia's voice echoed through the boat again, with no noticeable mood swings.
Crane looked up and saw that the two horses made of gold and the ornate chariot they were pulling were gone, and the giant diamond pillars silently supported the floating island, flowing with brilliant light.
What a big diamond...... What a strange floating island, what would have happened if you hadn't lowered your head just now and watched that golden chariot rush out? Crane looked left and right, his brows furrowed.
A pirate who was only seven or eight meters away from him had disappeared at this time, leaving two black footprints where he had been standing.
Looking at the ashes scattered in the air, Klein vaguely knew the ending of not bowing his head just now.
Fortunately, the "Star General" had been here a few times before, and knew what to avoid and what to bow down, and if I had hired Mr. "The Hangman", even if he was driving a ghost ship, he would have been wiped out by now...... No, if it weren't for the "Future" arriving at its destination early and leaving no buffer time, I would have asked Will Unsetin, the "Serpent of Destiny", about the magician's unprepared performance...... Moreover, if I had hired Mr. "The Hanged Man", I would definitely have asked Ms. "Hermit" for information at the Tarot meeting...... Klein sighed at first, and then regained his composure.
He didn't propose to go to the floating islands to take a look and explore, and let the "Future" pass by from the side and sail forward.
For the next period of time, the ocean was like the outside world, leaving only the undulating surface of the water, empty, silent, and boundless.
Klein could occasionally see fires floating on the surface of the sea, but found no sign of any sea life, including the mermaid colony.
Minutes ticked by, and lunch was quickly ready.
Klein was about to leave the deck and head to the dining room when Huo Ran noticed that the surroundings were darkening!
The sky, which had been in the middle of the day, had lost its rays of light and was completely enveloped in a thick darkness.
The change was so fast, so abrupt, that Klein's first instinct was to turn off the lights!
Silently, the "Future" was covered with a layer of brilliant stars, illuminating the road to various places.
The slightly magnetic voice of "Hermit" Gardelia was once again amplified, echoing in everyone's ears:
"Go back to your room, or just find a random corner and put yourself to sleep.
"Then wait for nature to wake up. ”
"Toxin expert" Frank Lee asked in a loud voice, somewhat confused:
"What happens if you don't sleep?"
At this moment, his voice was humbling, as if a giant bear was speaking.
Gardelia stood behind the window of the captain's room and said:
"When we wake up, we'll find you're missing, never to be found again. ”
The night here is so horrible that Klein is curious, but he doesn't have the slightest idea of trying not to sleep.
He returned to the room, took advantage of the starlight of the "Future" that had not been extinguished for the time being, spread out the paper crane, took out a pencil, and wrote quickly:
"What do I need to be aware of when traveling to the easternmost dangerous waters of the Sunia Sea?
"Where can I find mermaids there?"
Putting down the pencil and folding the paper crane, Crane did not take off his coat, lay directly on the bed, and with the help of meditation, quickly fell into a deep sleep.
In the gray world, he suddenly woke up and clearly recognized that he was dreaming.
Haven't been invaded by anyone...... Crane looked around and found himself at the top of the hill, with a monastic-like black patch of buildings behind and to the right and a withered yellow tree and a raised boulder in front of him.
At the top of the boulder, Gardelia, the "general of the stars", sat alone, clasped her hands on her knees, leaning forward, staring at the opposite peak.
She was still wearing the classical black robe with a very mysterious taste, and there was indescribable confusion in her expression.
At this point, she didn't make any movement, as if she had turned into a stone statue.
Why is she in my dream? Crane took a few steps forward and jumped onto the boulder.
Before he could ask, he was suddenly shocked by the open scene in front of him, and he felt like his body and mind were shaken.
In front of the boulder is a cliff with no bottom in sight, and on the opposite side of the cliff is a mountain covered in countless palaces, countless towers, and majestic walls.
The buildings are magnificent, layered and surrounded, and the individual buildings are unusually huge, unlike the places where humans live, and the combination has an indescribable sense of epicness, wonder and mythology.
The sun hung far away, casting the colors of dusk over the city, and the light seemed to freeze.
"It's a dream we all share...... "Gardelia still sat on her knees, her tone like a dream.
