327 Origin of the Island of the Dead
Catherine's mood is very stable. Throughout the crashing waves, she had been vigilantly observing her surroundings. That's why he was able to save the old dog's life at a critical moment.
The Mashou ferry has now sailed into the calm asphalt lake. The wall of waves was still behind them, surging farther away.
Ahead lies a huge ship, the Island of the Dead. Catherine had just asked the Armored Knight at the helm, and the answer was a bit unexpected. She didn't expect a giant ship to be named after an "island".
The Island of the Dead is huge. Catherine judged that a life-size island was no more than that. It's just that this "island" does not have the vitality of an ordinary island, but is very silent and weird. It sits across the surface of the lake and exudes a creepy atmosphere.
Catherine still hadn't seen what was on board. The Island of the Dead was too tall to see the deck, and even the side of the ship was in a blurred state.
When I was at the top of the waves, I could see some scenes on the ship, but unfortunately it was too far away. Catherine only discovered that the Island of the Dead had no masts, and that it had no sails on its deck, and that it did not know how to sail.
For ships, female mages are not familiar. She had no experience with mercenary missions at sea, although the mercenary group had traveled to the port of North Seca, the closest to the sea. Catherine, a small boat in the rivers and lakes, has also been on it, but it is not comparable to the supership in front of her, which at first glance can carry out ocean voyages.
Catherine, a sea ship in the port of North Seca, could only be seen from afar. Several of them are quite famous, the most famous of which was the Conch, which sailed to the Western Continent. The mage met Captain Kapil of the Conch. The captain had business dealings with the Academy of the Union of North Secca, and it is said that the famous voyage to the western continent was commissioned by the head of the Academy of the Union of North Secca. Although the specific content of the commission is not known to Catherine. However, after Kapil's return, he also brought a large number of various academic books on the Western Continent to the Northern Seca Union Academy, making the Northern School in the field of "Western Continental Studies". All of a sudden, it was at the top of the major colleges in the entire Eastern Continent.
Catherine was introduced to Captain Kapil by the Grand Magician Nordemas, a good friend of her teacher Quisling, the vice-president of the Northern Seca Union Academy, and the Grand Magician. Ordered a batch of alchemical raw materials unique to the northern kingdom for the Royal Academy. That contact also made Catherine discover that the rough-looking Captain Kapil was actually a weak law scholar, a full-fledged graduate of the Northern Seca Union Academy.
As a scholar of weak law, he has always been known for his erudition. If Captain Picard were here, he might have been able to make a wonderful assessment of the Isle of the Dead. However, even with Picard's knowledge of sailing between the eastern and western continents, he must have never seen such a huge ship. This is not a great feat that human beings can build.
Isn't it human being able to build?
Catherine suddenly realized. Since it is a giant ship, it must be very likely that it came from the hand of a giant. The giant civilization among the four ancient civilizations is not a country founded by a giant. In the end, those giants built three giant ships to go to sea with the strength of their country, and built three towers in the depths of the sea, seeking the possibility of returning to the heavenly realm. The female mage and the others had been on one of the towers for a few years before.
These are all dictated by the old professor himself. He probably didn't expect that the giant ship that the giants were riding on at that time, who was just casually mentioned, might be standing in front of him. If you really should have taken the goblin scholar with you, that old guy would probably be able to recognize the origin of this giant ship directly.
However, Catherine believes that even if the Island of the Dead was a ship for giants, it had already changed owners. There should be no giants in sight, only the same undead as the horses on the ferry. I don't know how the undead got this giant ship, could it really be that the kings of the Dead Kingdom are in control behind the scenes?
The female mage shook her head slightly, there was no point in thinking too much about herself, and the answer would naturally be revealed when she got on the boat.
The Mashou ferry is getting closer and closer to the Island of the Dead. The already dimly lit space seemed even more gloomy. In the vicinity of the Island of the Dead, even the bubbles in the asphalt pool became quiet and careful, and they didn't dare to come out at all.
Looking at this huge ship closely, I don't know what material the tall hull is made of. The whole body is dark, and there is not a single gap in sight. Sailing along the side of the Island of the Dead towards the stern of the boat feels like a sports car under the walls of a city that is high and has no end in sight.
"It's finally here. The old dog, who hadn't made a sound for a long time, sighed on the side. After he rolled over the waves. Perhaps it was frightened, obediently lying motionless in the cabin.
Catherine glanced at her companion. Didn't pay any attention to him.
"Can the Overseer tell me about the undead?" asked the old dog, "I haven't encountered any of these things. But the Overseers seem familiar. ”
The old dog's words made Catherine's heart light up. This old dog has lived long enough and traveled through the soul world of the Silver Dragon King. Since he hadn't seen the undead, it was likely that there was no undead in the Silver Dragon King's soul world. If that's the case, doesn't it mean that this place is not in the Silver Dragon King's soul world now?
Sure enough, the bone cloud was the key to leaving the Silver Dragon King's soul world, so the evil star also chose this path at the beginning. Catherine figured out these questions, and suddenly her mood became good. She replied, "The undead are special beings created because the souls of dead creatures are full of resentment and do not want to go to the destination of their faith, and continue to stay in the original world. These things are generally irrational and are dominated by resentment, especially the hatred in resentment, so they are very aggressive. It's just that it is difficult for ordinary soul bodies to survive independently for a long time, and they usually need a body to protect them. For example, these humanoid armors, their armor is to replace their original bodies when they were alive. ”
"Oh. The old dog thought for a moment, and seemed to be digesting Catherine's words. A few minutes later he asked, "Where does the so-called body come from, and can anything be used as a new body?"
"It's usually the original body of these creatures when they die, so it looks like they've come back from the dead. Some people call them 'undead' for this reason. Catherine paused, making the old dog think, "But it is said that an undead can also occupy a body that does not belong to her, or even a modified body. I think humanoid armor belongs to the latter. ”
In fact, Catherine's understanding of the undead is also limited, after all, there is not much research on this in the Eastern Continent. She didn't deliberately lower her voice when she spoke, but the humanoid armor didn't react when they heard it.
"Then how can we kill the Necrons?" the old dog continued to ask, seemingly cooperatively.
The Mashou ferry suddenly stopped. (To be continued.) )
