Chapter 182: The Original Body of the Ghost Ship
In order to alleviate the awkward atmosphere, Mo An coughed lightly, trying to bring the topic back to the right path: "This matter is over here, let's talk about business." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"That's the right thing!" The mermaids who fell to the ground after being attacked by Xuanyu did not understand Mo An's intentions, they dusted off the sand on their bodies, and stood up one after another: "The beauty sister of the human race is so high in force, we like it more!"
Mo An rolled his eyes and twisted his face to the other side. In his opinion, no one can save such a deathly act. At this time, a cold sweat was already breaking out on Diama's forehead, and he had never felt the stupidity of his brothers as deeply as he did today. Seeing that Xuanyu's face was getting more and more gloomy, he stepped out with an arrow step and blocked the middle between Xuanyu and his brothers. This was not done to protect Xuanyu, but for the sake of his brother's life.
"Open your fish eyes and see that he is not a girl!" Di Amma, who opened his arms, blocked Xuanyu tightly, "Besides, he is an important guest of the patriarch, the savior of our clan, if you are so unreasonable, the patriarch and sisters will not let you go!"
Lucia was a little surprised, this was the most serious thing Di Ama said, and at this time she began to believe that Di Amma's words about being smarter than his brothers were not boasting!
Di Ama, who turned around, looked at Xuanyu cautiously, his face was still gloomy, but he was no longer murderous, which made the stone in Di Ama's heart let go of some of it.
Mo An coughed lightly again: "So, it is you and your brothers who are driving this ship...... Oh...... Boat...... Coming here?"
"That's right," Diama said with that pride again, "but we don't know how to steer a ship, this ship was pushed by our brothers at the risk of their lives. ā
"Patriarch Sennao really paid for it this time, risking the extinction of the species to let you living treasures out of Blue Water City...... Lucia teased.
Mo An looked at the vast sea: "Where did you push it from?"
Diama pointed to the place where the sea and sky line: "Of course, it is near the blue water city,"
"In other words......" At some point, Xuanyu had already walked up to the "ghost ship", looking at the corroded bottom wood and the unique decoration of the bow, "This ship is from the bottom of the Strait of Lorraine?"
"Yes," said Diama, "this is a shipwreck, and it has been under the sea for more than ten years. But we merfolk didn't need this thing and didn't think about removing it, and now it's coming in handy!"
"Is it useful to send a handy list," Mo An came to Xuanyu's side, "Did you think of something?"
The corners of Xuanyu's mouth rose when he turned around: "Look!"
With a wave of his arm, the shellfish algae and corals that were originally attached to the rotten bulwark peeled off, and a red word appeared in a flash of light - Blood Brier!
When the words "Blood Rose" reappeared, it was not only Moan but Lucia who were shocked by this. She remembered the records of the Blood Rose in the archives of the Reino Palace, when the ship laden with treasures had set off from the heavenly realm in the east and sunk in the Strait of Lorraine. According to Diama's account, more than ten years ago was indeed the time of the accident of the "Blood Rose"! Lucia also walked behind Xuanyu, she looked up at the ship that she had just considered junk, and tried to imagine its former glory.
"You ghost-merfolk caused the sinking of this ship?!" Lucia snapped at Diama's wrist.
"How is it possible," Di Ama said innocently, "Our clan has been trapped in Blue Water City for thirty years, and we still had no time to take care of ourselves when this ship sank!"
Diama's words are indeed very reasonable, so it must have been the unknown monster in Sennaou's mouth that caused the "Blood Rose" to sink? No, no...... Lucia suddenly remembered that Xuanyu had said that the Infinite Immortal Dew, which was supposed to be buried at the bottom of the sea with the "Blood Rose", had appeared in the underground palace, so the reason for the sinking of the Blood Rose was definitely not as simple as being attacked by demon beasts!
Thinking of this, Lucia looked up at Xuanyu, and the smile in the corner of the other party's eyes confirmed that her judgment was consistent with what Xuanyu thought. Xuanyu leapt and jumped onto the deck, Lucia following closely behind. Even though it's broad daylight, standing on the Blood Rose still feels eerie. In addition to the mottled rust and some rancid smell, there was also the stale smell of blood that Lucia cared about, she couldn't witness what had happened on the Bloodbrier, but her instincts told her it was a massacre!
So far, the whereabouts of the crew of the "Blood Rose" are unknown, and their fate may be more than lucky. Even if the waves washed the hull of the ship, it would not be possible to take away all the traces and clues, thinking like this, Xuanyu walked straight down the cabin, and sure enough, he saw more than a dozen white bones there.
"If the demon beast mentioned by Patriarch Sennao attacked the 'Blood Rose', then I'm afraid there won't be anyone's body left on this ship. Lucia crouched down and examined the bones carefully, "Although I can't tell the appearance, it should be the sailor on the ship." ā
Xuanyu didn't speak, his eyes searched around the cabin, and finally stopped on one of the white bones. He walked over and picked up a small plaque five centimeters wide and seven centimeters long from the white bone. Lucia curiously leaned over to take a look, and saw that when Xuanyu touched it with her hand, the mud and dirt on the brand were easily removed, revealing its true face. It was a gleaming silver plaque with unique patterns and words painted on it.
The pattern looks like it has something to do with the sea, and the scimitar and dagger on the surface of the sea are carved in the middle, but it is certain that it is a sharp object. The text underneath was not in the language of Agrim, and neither Xuanyu nor Lucia could understand the meaning.
"Look at the letters and arrangements are very similar to Tarty," Lucia guessed after the silence, "I was exposed to Tart's script when I was pretending to be a princess, but I really don't recognize this word......"
"What do you mean, this Blood Rose is a royal merchant ship of Egrim, how can there be something from Tarte?" Xuanyu said, her eyes searching again.
"You have a point!" Lucia speculated, "if the sign was found from that skeleton, perhaps this man is actually a Talt, too?"
"It's not time to jump to conclusions, but ......," Xuanyu said as she took a dozen steps forward, bent down, and felt another thing in the corner. Although the object has been badly corroded, it is not difficult to tell from the shape that it is a scimitar.
Seeing that Xuanyu was very concerned about this, Lucia also came over and looked at it carefully: "This kind of scimitar is commonly used by sailors, and I don't think there is anything strange about it." As she spoke, she casually looked around, and the daggers that had fallen to the ground and the same sailor's scimitar were everywhere, and there were other weapons besides these, but they were all almost corroded.
"The knife isn't strange, but it's interesting here......" Xuanyu said as she turned the handle of the knife around, and after rubbing her fingers on it, the filth disappeared, revealing the same pattern and the mysterious text as on the brand, "On a sunken royal merchant ship of Egrim, there are two things engraved with the words of another country, one of which is still a weapon!"
Staring closely into Xuanyu's eyes, Lucia felt her face begin to stiffen, and a thought gradually took shape in her mind: "If that is Tartwen, maybe ...... the sinking of the 'Blood Rose' has something to do with Tart?"
Xuanyu laughed lightly: "It must be related, but it may not be what you think." As he spoke, he handed Lucia the knife and the small sign, "Do you know what this is?"
"What's that?" Lucia didn't understand Xuanyu's intentions, "it's a scimitar and a silver medal!"
"Silver?" Xuanyu deliberately put the word "silver" very seriously, and then he shook his head with a smile, "If it is a silver medal, how can it be preserved so well after sinking to the bottom of the sea for so many years?"
"Didn't you use magic?" said Lucia.
"My spiritual power is so unstable, how can I use it casually. Xuanyu replied half-teasingly.
After hearing this, Lucia lowered her head and carefully observed the mysterious brand in her hand, it was indeed not silver, but she couldn't tell what texture it was. The scimitar in her other hand should have been iron, rusted to the point that it was not shapely, but the handle was clearly of the same texture as the brand, and she rubbed it with her hand, and the stain was gone, just like before.
