Chapter 642: The Sea
"If you are ready for an adventure, then, you can take the gem that is wrapped in this letter, and then you carefully grope for the stone platform in the room, and you will find a socket, after inserting the gem, you will start a new adventure, the Doyle family will continue because of your bravery, and the contents of the room will be your reward. ”
Mei Lin read it in one go, and she couldn't help but feel a little more shocked in her heart!
Without the slightest hesitation, Merlin immediately leaned down and groped under the stone platform, and soon found the socket prompted in the letter.
The socket is exactly the same size as the shape of that gem. But when it was time to insert the gem in, Merlin groaned...... She wasn't afraid, she was gauging whether the adventure was worth it.
She didn't hesitate for long, and the next moment, she inserted the gem into the socket.
As the gem was inserted into the socket, the clearly audible sound of the waves suddenly turned into a raging sound, and Merlin subconsciously took two steps back...... On the stone platform, the stars on the rune patterns lit up one after another, and the starlight flowed to fill those rune patterns.
At the moment when the last rune lit up, the entire stone platform was generously bright, however, a monstrous wave poured out from the stone platform, and in an instant, it had filled the entire secret room.
In about a quarter of an hour, the water in the secret room began to flow back to the stone platform rapidly, and with the same speed, there was not a drop of water in the secret room in an instant, and the light on the stone platform did not gradually disappear...... Everything was restored to its original state except for the gem in the socket, except for Merlin's figure who disappeared completely.
......
A hideous bone dragon has been flying for two weeks above the endless sea.
Merlin rode on the bone dragon, looking loveless.
A week ago, Merlin was swept into this inexplicable world by the waves and wanted to go back...... Well, she didn't want to go back at all. She even crossed the expectations of the event prize for this inexplicable adventure, but as time went on, she gradually lost the enthusiasm she had at the beginning.
I don't know why I started this journey, and I don't know what the end point of this journey is...... The most important thing is that she doesn't even know what this journey is going through, and if it weren't for the Rubic Cube, she would have gone crazy.
Alassas is an undead creature, it does not need to rest at all, it can fly all the time at sea, all the time, for more than a week, it must have flown more than forty thousand kilometers. The sea is occasionally seen, it is called magnificent, but after a long time, it is a pool of stagnant water.
If it was in the wizarding world, flying so far, even if it was a desert island, there should be one. But now, she hasn't seen a single piece of sand.
Merlin first began to doubt her luck, perhaps it was the result of her bad luck that she had chosen a route that happened to be all ocean, but she also suspected that she might be spinning in circles without realizing it. However, she did not notice any suspected energy fluctuations. And all her knowledge told her that it was very difficult to form a labyrinth on the surface of the sea.
When she got bored of flying, she went into the laboratory to do all kinds of research, and when she was tired, she went to Rubik Manor to rest. She couldn't worry about either enjoyment or experimentation, and the only regret was that neither of these were her goals.
As usual, Merlin kept Alassas flying forward while she fished on the back of the bone dragon.
Fishing for fish is actually a very risky thing, and who knows if the fish in this world are poisonous or not?
But a wizard's hobby is to explore the unknown and challenge the unknown.
As usual, Merlin caught a lot of strange-looking sea creatures, and after leaving behind the necessary materials for experimentation, she threw most of them back into the sea.
But in the afternoon, she caught a fish more than two meters long, which looked a little like tuna, with thick flesh and a delicious appearance.
It was very easy to prove that this thing was poisonous or not, she took out a sharp dagger, stunted the big fish with the hilt, and then began to peel the scales on the outside, and then cut open the belly of the fish and threw away all the internal organs, she was very skilled in doing these things.
Gently slicing off a piece of meat from the back of the fish, and throwing the meat into her mouth, the fish had a faint salty taste, and after a few minutes, Merlin did not feel the numbness of her tongue or the stiffness of her lips, it seemed that the fish was not poisonous, and she casually put away the antidote used just in case.
Using a knife to cut the fish in half, Merlin began to condition the fish, deboning and demeating the fish, a skill that even a chef would have to do for years to reach her level.
The cut fish flesh filled a large basin.
Of course, there are pots in the manor, and there are puppets who specialize in taking care of food, but this time Merlin wants to fend for herself...... It's also a big meal, and sashimi is a very rare dish.
Merlene had just come out of enjoying her sashimi at Rubik Manor when she heard a dull thunderclap in the distance.
She looked into the distance.
Thick clouds are not visible in the distance, and it is certain that it is not a storm.
Suddenly, there was another thunderclap...... Because she had been paying attention to the direction in which the voice was coming from, this time he finally saw what he was looking for. Behind the horizon, a faint light flashed.
"Alassas, turn around at six o'clock!" Merlin shouted into the cabin.
"What did you find?" asked Augustus curiously.
"I don't know. Merlin frowned: "I don't even know if it's going to be dangerous, wait until you get closer, let Alassas fly higher and take a look." ”
Far away, you could see a lot of scattered wreckage floating on the surface of the sea, these wrecks were definitely things that Merlin had never seen before, some were transparent and looked like glass, but glass could never float on the water, some looked like pottery shards, but they were much tougher than pottery shards.
A few more days along, the strange wreckage grew more and more, and the volume grew.
Suddenly, Merlin's eyes lit up, and she saw the corpse.
There were at least thirty or forty corpses floating on the surface of the sea, and the corpses were roughly divided into three categories, one was a hideous-looking strange fish, which looked a bit like a crocodile, but it was much larger than a crocodile, and some of the strange fish also had saddles and seats on their backs, and they were supposed to be creatures used as mounts.
According to Merlin's guess, these are either domestic animals or pets, and what she is really interested in is the third category, which must be intelligent creatures of this world, and the most obvious evidence is that they have functional hands, a face very similar to a person, and clothes and other things.
Take a day off tomorrow********
