The Turning Gears Chapter 38: The Soul of the Ship (2)

The blade of the sword pierced directly into the center of the corpse's eyebrows, and the thick layer of ice could not stop the persuader's blade, and the solid ice cracked layer by layer under the blade, and the sword actually penetrated directly through the ice of nearly half a meter and inserted into the corpse's skull.

The eerie ghost of the ice danced like an electric shock, the thick ice was like air to him, and his head was stuck with a persuader, but his twisted hands and feet were shaking in the ice.

This strange scene made Green gasp, the feel of the blade shattering the ice was so real, but the ghost dancing in the ice felt so unreal.

The persuader had indeed inserted himself into the flesh of the corpse, and the soft touch was like cutting through a piece of frozen flesh with a knife. But Green couldn't turn the blade of his sword to widen the wound, and if he weren't in a strengthened state, it would have been a fool's dream to pierce such a large block of ice with a single sword.

The corpse stopped writhing, and its distorted, pale face opened its mouth to reveal a white, black-purple tongue, and then the face quickly retreated in the ice, and in an instant the corpse was already out of the persuader's blade. Green had a sudden force in his hand, he naturally couldn't let this thing run away like this, and the persuader drilled into the ice under his great force, but the feeling was very strange. Because the place where it was the head of the corpse just now, after the corpse swam away, there was a feeling of ice, and the crack in the ice also faithfully extended to the place where the tip of the persuader's sword reached.

Green pulled out the Persuader, bringing out the shattered ice foam and seawater, and he looked into the hole in the Persuader's sword, which was full of solid ice.

"This ......" Lin Moyang also witnessed this strange scene, a frozen corpse actually came to life, and could still come and go freely in a large block of ice?

"What the hell is the principle of this?" Green was also a little confused, this situation was too strange, if this corpse relied on a huge force to melt the ice around it, then it was understandable that he was swimming in the ice, but why was the space it occupied just now filled with ice immediately after he swam away?

"Don't ask me, it's the first time I've seen it. Lin Moyang shrugged his shoulders, it was the first time he had seen such a strange phenomenon, even if it was a matter on the magic side, it couldn't violate the laws of science like this, right? What kind of magic is this, this is pulling the collar of science, and the big mouth greets the face of science without stopping.

"Contact Taylor, we're not going to be able to move forward with the ice like this, we're going to have to find a way to melt the ice. Green touched the solid ice in front of him with his hand, and if it was necessary to rely on persuasion to break open this ice wall, I don't know how much time it would take, and this strange ghost in the ice really made the three people present very uncomfortable.

Green said, he took out a small walkie-talkie from his arms, this is in the Atlantic, but there is no electronic signal base station, even the call has to rely on the ship's satellite phone, so this distance communication they still choose the walkie-talkie This convenient scientific equipment.

"Taylor, can you hear me?" Green said as he pressed the intercom button and spoke into the intercom.

The walkie-talkie squeaked a few times, and Taylor's voice was immediately heard inside, and it seemed that the girl had been keeping an eye on the progress of the three of them. "Can you hear you, are you in the cabin? I can't see you here, only Mr. Drake, what's the catch?"

Green smiled embarrassedly, he walked to the edge of the hull breach, and beckoned to the Wavebreaker in the distance, and Taylor was standing on the deck of the Wavebreaker, easily seeing Green's figure.

"Why haven't you been inside the cabin yet?" Taylor frowned, but the girl was so clever that she didn't wait for Green to answer, "Did anything happen?"

"I think you'll have to come and see for yourself, I really don't know how to describe this scene to you, anyway, you better see it for yourself. Green said, and the only way to turn to Taylor's wisdom was to turn to it.

"Ah...... I...... Then I'll come later......" Unexpectedly, Taylor's voice suddenly became shrill and his tone became hesitant.

Lin Moyang stood behind Green, listening to the voice on the walkie-talkie, he seemed to remember that this Indian girl said that she was afraid of ghosts, and now it sounds true, this guy should not be nervous or afraid that his voice will become sharp.

"Well, we'll wait for you, we'll have to wait until you get there before we can move on to the next action, by the way, remember to bring the box, I think we'll be able to use it." Green said, the walkie-talkie clicked for a while, and Taylor turned it off.

There was a shrill whistle from the Wavebreaker, and Drake, who was sitting in the dinghy, heard this whistle, which was the signal that the Wavebreaker used to recall the dinghy, he glanced at Green, who said, "Go ahead, we need to get Ms. Taylor here, or this work will not begin." ”

Drake then rowed his dinghy slowly towards the Wavebreaker.

The three of them didn't wait long, and after a while Drake was already carrying Taylor from the Wavebreaker, Taylor was sitting in the dinghy, and the clever wise man was actually a little nervous, carrying a suitcase in his hand.

The dinghy stopped next to the breach, Taylor carefully jumped into the cabin from the dinghy with her suitcase, she looked around cautiously, and asked in a shrill voice, "There are no ghosts here......

Lin Moyang almost didn't hold back his laughter, this young lady's fear of ghosts seems to be real, she doesn't have the confidence to strategize on the ship at all now, but has a somewhat shrunken posture, and her voice has become sharp and thin.

However, although Taylor was afraid, she still stubbornly looked around, she glanced at the large piece of ice that appeared behind the hatch, and the girl asked in a sharp voice, "Ice wall? No, it looks like the entire inside of the hull is frozen, do you just think this thing is tricky?"

But at least there were no ghosts here, Taylor was half relieved, and she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah, yes, that's not all, there was an old diver in the ice just now, who was able to move freely in the ice. Lin Moyang himself was also afraid, but when he saw Taylor's performance, he suddenly felt that he was not so afraid, but wanted to tease Taylor a little.

Sure enough, like a cat with its tail stepped on, Taylor suddenly took a few steps back, and then looked carefully into the ice. The part of the ice wall near the hatch had been punched by Green and a hole stabbed by the persuader, and now the ice was full of white branch-like cracks, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

"Either way, melting this ice is the top priority right now, and if the hull is full of this kind of ice, then we can't get inside at all. Green said that although it was only noon, if it dragged on, time would pass quickly, and if they did not finish exploring the ship before nightfall, the ghost ship would become more dangerous after nightfall.

"I know. Taylor put her hand on the ice in a shrill voice, and she prayed with words in her mouth, "It's not a normal ice cube, so it doesn't melt naturally." I'm guessing there's a magic item somewhere in the ice cube that is where the ice comes from, and we're going to have to find it and disarm the wide range of freezing magic. But before that, we can make a certain part of the ice cube back to normal ice cubes by disturbing the mana, and then use heat to make it melt normally. ”

Taylor took out a bottle of golden powder from his suitcase, this powder was very familiar, Lin Moyang seemed to have seen it somewhere.

"Our priority now is to melt this part of the ice first, if you see the one you saw before...... Ghost...... Ghosts, then you can find a way to deal with it. Taylor said in an undetermined tone, and now even Green could see that the girl was afraid of ghosts. It's really strange, I've even seen the battlefield of corpses and corpses and a sea of blood, this girl is still afraid of ghosts?12345

"Miss Liliel, would you like to avoid it?" said Taylor, holding up the bottle in his hand.

Liliel looked at the bottle in Taylor's hand, and she asked curiously, "Brimstone?" As she spoke, Liliel's brow furrowed slightly, and it was clear that the Bloodclan had some aversion to this kind of thing.

"Well, although you are now immune to sunlight, young lady, I wonder if you are also immune to the light of alchemical sulfur, so do you want to avoid it?" Taylor asked thoughtfully.

Liliel also knew Taylor's kindness, and she shook her head and said, "I feel fine, I believe in Lord Blade's methods. ”

After Lilil's answer, Taylor carefully poured some powder out of the bottle, about two rubs, and Tonio added more salt to the cauldron when he stewed the soup. He watched Taylor's movements curiously, and then he remembered that on the bus before, it seemed that Ma had taken out something similar.

"What is this? Why do you want Liliel to avoid such a thing as sulfur?" Lin Moyang watched Taylor carefully draw a very small magic circle on the floor with sulfur, and she was reluctant to use more sulfur, the magic array drawn was small and delicate, it seemed that it would take a long time, Lin Moyang could only talk to Green for a while.

"Sulfur in alchemy represents the power of masculinity. "Now Taylor is not drawing a magic circle, but an alchemical symbol called 'The Perfect Red King-Magician's Brimstone.'" In alchemy, the power of the Red King represents the male and the masculine, and his power comes from the sun god, so after this symbol was proposed in the 17th century, it has been used in large numbers for blood hunting, for creating flashes of sunlight in dark places. And the sulfur in Taylor's hand is the special sulfur made by the alchemists of Hermes's face, the sulfur powder is very pure, it is mixed with a variety of positive alchemy materials, the light is better than the strongest sunlight at noon, and there are some special materials in it, which can restrain ghosts and undead creatures. ”

Lin Moyang nodded, he watched Taylor's movements carefully, and as Taylor drew finely, a beautiful symbol appeared in her hand, this symbol was composed of a triangle of flames and three arrows shot from the center. At first glance, it's quite familiar.

Damn, Lin Moyang suddenly remembered that his male god Keanu Reeves played a hellish detective, at the end of the movie, Konstantin once showed the tattoo on his hand, and relied on the power of the tattoo to order the hiding archangel Gabriel to appear, but he was trampled under Gabriel's feet. This symbol is really similar to the handsome tattoo in Lin Moyang's memory.

Taylor drew the alchemy symbol, this symbol is simply small and pitiful, not as big as a person's palm, but looking at Taylor's expression, she is very satisfied with this symbol, she smiled: "Which man is willing to contribute a drop of blood?"

Before Lin Moyang could react, why did he suddenly ask for blood, Green had already put his left index finger on the blade of the persuader and slashed lightly, and before Taylor could speak, he had already squeezed a drop of blood into the alchemy pattern, the flame in the triangle.

This small alchemy symbol was stained with this drop of blood, and the blood immediately spread along the sulfur used as a pigment, and this golden alchemy symbol was like a red flame, taking on a red color.

Taylor nodded in satisfaction, the Indian girl put her hands together, her slender fingers pointing at the alchemy symbol, and she closed her eyes and spat out a character that Lin Moyang didn't understand. Like the language used to call for storms in the academy, Lin guessed that it was one of the native languages of the Indians, an ancient shamanic ritual language.

The alchemy symbol on the ground burst into a bright flame, and a small golden flame slowly rose from the alchemy symbol, and the golden alchemy symbol had become charred black, and the sulfur was also incinerated.

"Is this the Eternal Fire technique of the Indians?" Green looked at the flame with appreciation, the little golden fireball like a small sun floating in the air.

Taylor calmed her chaotic breathing, took out the two-handed sword with the fire dragon dragon crystal from the suitcase, she held the flame in her hand, and slapped the flame with the dragon crystal at the hilt of the two-handed sword, and a small flame appeared in the red dragon crystal gem. After doing all this, Taylor handed the two-handed sword to Lin Moyang and said, "It can last for about two hours, and now the flame of this sword can dispel all the negative magic." ”

Green gave a thumbs up: "Using the Eternal Flame to turn the Flame Shaper's magical flame into a flame with the nature of sunlight, and at the same time using the Flame Shaper's ability to absorb free magic power to maintain the burning of the Eternal Flame, is many times more efficient and sustainable than simply using the Eternal Flame, which is really powerful." ”

Taylor responded with a smile: "The conditions here are too poor, you can only use this tricky method, otherwise this eternal fire can only burn for about 5 minutes, and there are no corresponding conditions and props here." I also borrowed the idea of the Flame Star gem from Niflheimli. Inside that gem is the true Eternal Flame, fueled by the magic absorbed by the gem. The Flame Shaper doesn't absorb as much mana as the Flame Star, but it can last for two hours, so remember not to fight with the Flame Shaker, otherwise the Eternal Flame's energy will drop significantly. ”

Lin Moyang held the two-handed sword called the Fire Shaper, and couldn't help but want to laugh, this sword was a gift from the alchemists of Hermes's face, but he didn't use the Western two-handed sword, Taylor was a shaman, and Green had a persuader, this sword was once unused, and it was finally remembered, but Taylor used it as a torch or something.

"Alright, I'm going back to the Wavebreaker, if you find anything you find, tell me on the walkie-talkie, I don't want to stay here anymore, ...... It's dirty. Taylor said stubbornly, this lame reason can simply make Lin Moyang laugh to death, and Liliel next to her is barefoot in a bikini.

"Let's go. Green saw that the most important issues had been solved, and he did not delay any longer.

Lin Moyang nodded, touched the dragon crystal on the hilt of the fire shaper with his hand, and the sword body of the fire shaper immediately ignited a faint flame, Lin Moyang had tested this sword when he set off before, this sword will absorb the magic power by itself and store it in the dragon crystal, only when the magic power is exhausted, the wizard will need to inject magic power. For a person like Lin Moyang who has no magic power, this sword can also be used, as long as he doesn't die and injects qi into it.

Lin Moyang put the flame sculptor burning with golden flames in front of the ice wall, and the ice wall in front of him was like being put in a hot pot, quickly turning into seawater and flowing down the ice wall, this speed was not like melting ice, but more like cutting foam with red-hot wire, and the light of the flame quickly disappeared everywhere and turned into seawater and flowed to the floor.

Soon the ice in the hatch was wiped away, revealing a large hollow.

Lin Moyang hurriedly stood in this burned space, the inside of the ship was really frozen by ice, and he felt that he was standing inside an iceberg, relying on the heat to force a way.

"Why don't you come with me, and go back to the boat with Miss Taylor and wait for me. Lin Moyang looked at Liliel who was cool, although the heat of the eternal fire can dispel the cold power in the ice, but the ice water and the floor melted under her feet are close to 0 degrees Celsius, Lilil, this crazy girl doesn't even wear a pair of shoes, there is no saying in Chinese medicine called cold from the ground, I don't know if she will catch a cold when she steps on the cold water and the floor like this.

"I'm fine, go on, I'm a blood clan, this temperature can still ...... Ahh

"Alas...... Your constitution is now similar to that of human beings, but human beings have a very sinful disease called a cold, hurry back to the boat, take a hot bath, soak your feet in hot water, you see, they are all frozen. Lin Moyang leaned closer to Liliel with the fire shaper, and he pointed to Lilil's white toes, where there was indeed some broken ice between the white feet. The temperature of the ice-water mixture is 0 degrees, and as soon as it leaves the range of the Eternal Flame and is surrounded by the cold aura of the ship, the water on these floors shows signs of freezing again.

Liliel looked down at her little feet and stomped them regretfully: "The human body is not good at this, it is too fragile. Then I'll go back to the boat first to wash the fragrant smell, and wait for Moyang to triumph~" Lilielle smiled mischievously at Lin Moyang, she didn't say much superfluous words, stretched her waist on the edge of the hole, and jumped into the water like a fish. Fortunately, now that the waves in this water area are frozen by the seabreaker, she is now swimming in a relatively large pool. The Bloodline girl didn't even chase the dinghy, but swam straight to the Wave Breaker.

"Your relationship is really indescribably intimate, I thought you liked Xiao Mo. Green said with a look of surprise.

"It's okay, I still like Xiao Mo. Lin Moyang didn't have time to listen to this knight do reading comprehension, he walked back to the ice cave with a weak heart, and began to carve out a passage in the hull of the ship by relying on the heat of the eternal fire.
