The Turning Gears Chapter 47 Mutation
It had been a day since Taylor and Captain Wei had a secret conversation, and no one knew what the two had talked about, and the next day Captain Wei sent the four of them to the destination sea area as agreed. Captain Wei asked the sailors to lift an assault boat from the bottom cabin of the Wave Breaker, and after putting the four people on the assault boat, he also put a large iron box on the assault boat, and then ordered the Wave Breaker to turn the bow of the boat, and the wooden sailing ship quickly disappeared from the view of the four of them under the escort of the current.
I don't know what Taylor said to Lilil when she woke up this morning, Liliel didn't rush to seize the position next to Lin Moyang today, and when she saw Lin Moyang, she just smiled restrainedly, and her appearance was much more regular.
"They have prepared alchemical potions and some spellcasting vectors for us. Even though there were no official wizards among us, these sailors were too enthusiastic. Taylor lifted the lid of the iron box and counted the contents like a housekeeper.
Green and Lin Moyang glanced at each other helplessly, if you let the boys do this kind of thing, it must be a sentence: "No matter what it is, the courtesy is light and affectionate." But Taylor's first thought was the practicality of things.
"I can still use my spells, and although I don't have the same physical ability as before, I still have the ability to cast spells. Liliel added, "I want to help Suo too." ”
"Well, your level of medical spells is really good, by the way, I haven't had time to thank you about Miss Natasha, thank you that time. Lin Moyang scratched his head, thinking about it carefully, Natasha's second life was saved by Lilil, at that time this guy was still a complete blood-bellied old driver, but she perfectly fulfilled her promise and saved Natasha's life.
Listening to Lin Moyang's thanks, Lilil's face was red to the base of her neck, and she said with some embarrassment: "This is also the first time that Moyang has taken the initiative to sincerely thank me. ”
As soon as these words came out, Lin Moyang saw Taylor quickly throw a roll of his eyes at him, which made him want to jump into the sea in shame.
"Moyang, did you use other beautiful girls as tools before?" Taylor pointed to Lin Moyang's nose angrily, and said imposingly: "Give me a good apology after I go ashore!"
"Yes, yes...... I have deeply realized my mistake, please raise your noble hand, I already want to jump off the boat, or I will swim to the island to pay for my sins?" Lin Moyang quickly waved his hand and said.
"No, this kind of thing has nothing to do with the sea, it's your business with Miss Liliel, and you have to ask her to forgive you!" Taylor rejected the proposal, which was full of seabreaker style.
And Green looked anxiously in the direction of Tristan da Cunha, according to their agreement, they were still delaying on the side of the Gough Island for so long yesterday, his knights should have been waiting in the sea for a long time, why are they not seen now?
"I can't get through, what the hell. Taylor took out her mobile phone and looked at it, she said dissatisfiedly: "There is no signal, what the hell, didn't you say that there is a signal near the Tristan da Cunha Islands?"
"How long have we waited?" asked Green, his bad premonition growing stronger.
"It's been almost 3 hours. Is there anything you have planned, Lord Green?" Liliel said, glancing at her watch, and thankfully she wasn't wearing her bikini again.
"No wait, we went to the island, counting the time we delayed, they were already 5 hours late. The knights are never so late, and there must be something wrong with them. Let's go to the island. Green looked at the distant island of Tristan da Cunha, and he immediately decided.
"Well, just wait for your words, Commander. Let's go, then. Taylor seemed to have a premonition that Green would say such a thing, and she closed the lid of the iron box and pulled the motor of the assault boat hard.
"You have already had such a plan!" The assault boat immediately accelerated, the bow of the ship was raised high, and Lin Moyang was so frightened that he crouched on the side of the assault boat, and couldn't stop complaining.
"Don't say that~ A good wise man must have insight into opportunities, and I am ready for everything. Taylor was next to the motor, sticking out his tongue.
"Ah...... Don't tell me that your sailing skills have been prepared for a long time, I believe in your ghost!" Taylor's excited and excited expression, coupled with her DJ-like motor control skills, made Lin Moyang suspect that this wise girl was also crazy in her bones.
As the assault boat approached the main island, Taylor stopped her frantic acceleration, and Lin Moyang rolled to the floor and lay on his stomach, his face pale.
"The strongest defense of the ancient Chinese boxing method, the golden snake is entangled in the hands! It turns out that you can also train the speedboat sprint Dafa?" Taylor looked at the pale Lin Moyang and said a little proudly.
"It's all said, watch less Chinese movies, ...... vomit" Lin Moyang raised a middle finger, he took a few deep breaths, wanting to rely on the qi in his body to relieve the urge to vomit. Then Lin Moyang was agitated and got up from the assault boat.
Lin Moyang suspected that something was wrong with his feelings, but he felt it carefully, and it was completely correct.
"What's wrong? all of a sudden it became so serious?" Liliel had been paying attention to Lin Moyang, and the change in Lin Moyang's expression attracted her question.
"There's something wrong with this island!" Lin Moyang said firmly, although this island was sunny in his eyes, but now he didn't want to go to the island. On the periphery of the island, he can still feel the subtle qi, qi is the trace of civilization, and qi can be perceived in places where there is civilization, so Lin Moyang didn't care about this normal situation, but now that he is getting closer to this island, it stands to reason that the closer he is to the human settlement, the concentration of qi should be higher and higher, but not only no, he can't catch any qi around him now. If there are no traces of Chinese civilization on this island, or if there are not many Chinese tourists, this situation is also normal, but now there is no shadow of any qi at all, and he does not perceive the qi of British civilization, this island can see the buildings on the island, these are one of the traces of civilization, but it is like an uninhabited desert island that no one has ever set foot on, it is simply cleaner than when it was in the middle of the sea before.
"What's wrong with this island?" Green and Taylor saw Lin Moyang's expression, and also realized the seriousness of the problem, and their expressions became serious.
In the face of the questioning of the two, Lin Moyang was stunned, how to explain it? To be honest, didn't he expose the true face of Qi? If the true face of Qi spread, it would always attract a bad influence, what if Fenglong was nervous.
Lin Moyang thought about it like this, and immediately snorted, "Premonition! Premonition, it's similar to a bad omen or something." ”
"What, I wasn't too nervous, but I was made nervous by you. Green breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lin Moyang say this, some wizards' investigations were very accurate, so when Lin Moyang said the problem, he thought that Lin Moyang had noticed something blind spot that they hadn't noticed.
"Oh, hunch?" Instead, Taylor saw Lin Moyang's performance and thought thoughtfully. Her expression made Lin Moyang secretly feel bad, this girl's intelligence was simply against the sky, Lin Moyang was afraid that this girl would perceive something he didn't want to tell these two people based on such a sentence.
Fortunately, Taylor just glanced at Lin Moyang thoughtfully, she didn't say anything else, just arranged: "We will soon approach the main island, there are many ordinary people on the island, we are bound to attract attention, and when the time comes, we will disguise ourselves as college students from the University Marine Research Association, and now we are challenging to cross the Atlantic, and we need to repair and replenish supplies on the island, understand?"
"Can a college student drive a boat here alone?" Lin Moyang expressed doubts about this statement, which is a bit credibility.
"Don't worry, when all possibilities are ruled out, no matter how unbelievable the reason is, as long as there is a possibility of validity, they will believe it. Just like the Antarctic Gyre, we know it's something made by seabreakers, but don't scientists still have a reasonable explanation?" Taylor sneered disapprovingly, "There are no other ships in the vicinity, and they don't believe our claims, do they suspect that we swam here?"
"You seem to have a point. Lin Moyang stopped talking, after such an explanation, it seems that this reason is not so difficult to accept, at least it is much better than swimming across the Atlantic.
The assault boats gradually approached the beach of the main island, and they used assault boats, which saved them from the pressure of entering the port, but Taylor simply wanted to enter the port, at least let people see them entering the port, so that they would have a reasonable explanation for their identity.
"Are there so many wooden houses on the island?" the assault boat slowly sailed into the dock, and Lin Moyang looked at the small harbor curiously. Tristan da Cunha relies on this port, which hosts pleasure boats on weekdays, and when the tourist routes are not open, most of the people here are local fishermen.
But it was now midday, and there was not a single sailor or fisherman in the harbor, only a few shabby-looking fishing boats floating in the harbor.
"Well, it saves us the effort of explaining. Lin Moyang glanced at the empty port, and said that this group of immigrants is too big, although it is now a peaceful era, but at least a few security guards must be left on the port to prevent the bear child from falling into the water.
The assault boat stopped ashore, Green carried the tin box to the dock, and bolted the assault boat next to the dock, he also wondered why there was no one in such a large port.
"Could it be that there is a special festival on Tristan da Cunha that makes them all go to the event, so there is no one at the dock?" Lin Moyang suggested a possibility.
"I haven't heard of it, at least I haven't heard of it, but it's a possibility, what kind of festival would leave them without even a garrison at the port?" Taylor thought, but she soon realized that it was not an option, so Taylor said, "Let's go to town first, and trouble the two men to move the boxes and things." Lord Green, do you remember in what capacity your knights hid on the island?"
"Well, there are three knights on the island, all of whom have come to the island in the past few days, and they have come here in different capacities, some are farmers who have come to apply for jobs, some are marine students who have come for internships, and there are doctors. They listened to my arrangement and came here on the same boat half a month ago, and even the wizards on the island did not know their true identities. Green replied, holding the tin box.
"Wasn't that the first few days I arrived at the academy, so you said that something was the case?" Lin Moyang remembered Green's inexplicable disappearance before.
"Well, originally this task was only given to me alone, the sword of Damocles has its own jurisdiction, and this is still a British scope, so of course it is handled by me, but after the Holy See declared war a few days ago, the council took into account the shortage of manpower and some changes that may occur, so it handed over two of them to support. Green explained that he was grateful for the help of Lin and Taylor.
"I can also be stationed in China at any time, so that I don't have to run around. Lin Moyang said enviously that Green, a British, only needs to be responsible for British affairs, and he should only be responsible for China's affairs.
However, Taylor followed him and poured cold water on this guy: "Your Excellency Fenglong said that China is a land where the gods have been killed, and there will never be a resurrection of the gods, so you are a free man, or the stone bricks of the building, where do you need to move." ”
"Damn, he just sells apprentices like this? And why haven't I heard of this?" Lin Moyang is angry at this kind of remarks about not treating himself as a person, and he just treats himself as a tool man, this is still the rhythm of Didi tools, turning himself into a shared tool man?
"If he had said it, you wouldn't have run out honestly, would you?And the same free members and Miss Natasha, but no one would dare to ask Lord Galahad, right?" Your master, His Excellency Fenglong, said very happily, as long as it is not broken, then use it as you like, it doesn't matter. Taylor said with a malicious expression, "He looked for us before leaving, and that's what he said, otherwise Lord Green wouldn't dare come to you." ”
Lin Moyang hated him so much at this time, he thought that Fenglong had finally set an example and become a reliable master, but he knew that he had cheated him before leaving.
"Anyway, how do you know that the center of the town is going in this direction, is it in the right direction? Why do I think it's getting weirder and weirder?" Lin Moyang looked at the surrounding scenery and asked with some surprise, he knew that this was basically an isolated island, but even if it was isolated, this architectural style was too strange, right? This architectural style is estimated to be less than World War II, and people believe in medieval aesthetics, which makes Lin Moyang suspect that they are not marching towards the town, but walking into the large set of a certain crew.
"I've got a map here, a tourist map, absolutely, but, it seems a ......little weird," Green waved the map in his hand, but the buildings around him muttered.
"There's a sense of dislocation of time and space? I said, we're not going to cross over, right?" Lin Moyang looked at the buildings around him, and he even saw very small pumpkin fields and low-rise wooden houses, which had nothing to do with modern architecture.
Taylor said, "No, there aren't any spells that can travel through planes, at most they can travel through space, such as portals, but it's impossible to teleport people to a certain point in time. Tristan da Cunha also has no such medieval architecture, and the island was only officially settled in 1810, so it is unlikely that there would be medieval architecture of this scale. ”
"Oh, then I'm relieved...... Isn't this situation even weirder?" Lin Moyang complained.
"Maybe it's a new tourist attraction, a medieval theme park or something. Taylor pursed her lips, this situation was not enough to make her feel flustered, but she didn't know what Lin Moyang was really thinking about now.
Architecture is one of the symbols of civilization, right? Isn't there a very famous Youchao among the Chinese ancestors? He is in the midst of these buildings now, but he still does not feel the slightest breath, as if he is walking in the primeval jungle now, but it is clear that the gravel paved path under his feet is so real that it will click when he steps on it.
The weirdness in his mouth didn't mean the buildings around here, but that this island was as uncivilized as an uninhabited island, and this situation was so weird to Lin Moyang. Before going to the island, he was also full of confidence in the Chinese's ability to step on the map, after all, in Britain he could get the replenishment of qi, he did not believe that no Chinese had traveled to Tristan da Cunha, even if no one had traveled, the people on this island had always heard of China, as long as this way, he could get the replenishment of qi, that is, more or less difference.
But now it was empty and empty, and if it weren't for Liliel following him innocently, he would have suspected that this was a dream world created by Liliel.
"Sueyang, you've been restless since just now, you're okay, isn't there anything uncomfortable?" Liliel asked with concern, and now it seems that Lin Moyang seems to be a little nervous.
"No, I'm fine, thank you. Lin Moyang was embarrassed by Lilil's question, but he felt more and more that this island was not as simple as a medieval theme park.
At this moment, Taylor suddenly pointed to the place where the path stretched, and she asked a little strangely, "It seems that there is really a medieval theme park here, you see, there is a team of staff in front of it." ”
Everyone looked at her and suddenly their expressions became a little strange, and they saw that on the other side of the road, a knight on a horse and wearing bright armor was swaying towards them. The armor on his body reflected in the sunlight, and it looked dazzling.
