Chapter 435: Reading
Vivien's father was a very serious and old-fashioned man.
Probably people who study history have such a character.
He said that he did not want Vivien to come into contact with his research again, so he completed the renovation of the study with a very resolute will, and added a large lock.
However, for Joan, the naughty egg, lockpicking is not a difficult skill to master.
He and Vivien had been waiting for days, during which time their father seemed to have been studying in his study.
It wasn't until someone from the university informed me that I had to pack up and go to an important meeting that I couldn't miss.
"Come!"
Seeing the car disappear at the end of the street, Joan immediately closed the curtains and beckoned to Vivian: "Mom went to a cosmetics conference, we have a morning!" β
The brother and sister came to the study.
Vivien stared at the door of the study, not knowing if it was an illusion, but she seemed to hear the sound of the waves.
The wooden door seemed to be moist and salty, and behind it seemed not a study, but a blue sea.
'Supernatural powers! β
Vivien took a deep breath and made up her mind to check the journal properly.
Through this period of study, she knew that this kind of book containing supernatural powers was an extremely dangerous thing!
"Look at me."
Joan pulled out two small wires, stuck them into the keyhole, and flicked them gently.
Click!
With a tend, the lock opened.
"Ma'am, please!"
Jo Ann opened the door and made a gesture of please.
"My brother, if you can spend your mind on studying and unlocking, Mom and Dad will be proud of you......" Vivien rolled her eyes, "and...... That's it all here, I'll restore everything, I guess you don't want to read with me, right? β
The hallucination just now made her know that there was a high probability of danger in the study.
And Joan is just an ordinary person and shouldn't be involved in this kind of turmoil.
'I'm going to protect my family!' Vivien swore silently in her heart.
"Of course......" Joan yawned, "than reading...... I'd rather go back and get some more sleep. My gift has been delivered, so let's go first. β
After he finished speaking, he left without looking back, and it seemed that it was a great torture to look at the copywriting in the study.
β¦β¦
Vivien closed the door and looked at the study's furnishings, exhaling soothingly.
She went to her father's desk and looked at the messy scratch paper on it.
This should have been the time when I studied the journal, and some of the ideas and ideas that were recorded casually were mostly broken.
Vivien glanced over and saw a line of words - 'Savins Town'!
This is presumably where the log's owner lives, but she doesn't know it at all.
It wasn't until I looked down that I realized that it was a remote town by the sea, even if it was not developed now, let alone produced.
If you are not a person who specializes in geography, I am afraid that you will have to search the map for half a day to find this small broken place.
Vivien sat in her father's chair and looked at the drawers of her desk, opening them one by one.
When she pulled out one of the drawers in the middle on the right, a black journal book came into view.
"Found you!"
Vivien smiled playfully, her expression quickly becoming serious, and she took out the diary and spread it out on the desk.
When she opened the black cover, she noticed that the paper inside was yellowed, and there were some mildew spots on the edges, and it seemed to be a little wet, and when she touched her fingers, she had the illusion of touching some kind of slime.
This reminded her of slugs, and she couldn't help but feel a little nauseous.
But at this time, I still endured it and looked at the first page.
[April 1, 1306]
[The sea has played a huge joke on me, and in the past few months, we have gained very little...... This cod is not enough for me and my crew, we all have a family to feed, and although life is difficult, nothing can stop me, because we are the people of the sea! γ
"In 1306? About 300 years ago? Vivien muttered to herself.
At that time, the steam engine and the telephone had not yet been invented, and the whole world was shrouded in backwardness and ignorance, and fishermen were naturally very hard trades.
Lacking scientific guidance and steam-powered ships, fishing depends entirely on the experience of the old seafolk and a part of their luck.
[May 2 or 3, 1306]
[Drifting at sea for a long time, I forgot the time a little, and I forgot to keep a diary for a period of time, I don't know if it's this day...... We had a storm today and lost a sail, which was a terrible day...... No, as a captain, I have to pick myself up. γ
β¦β¦
[June 1306]
γGreat Harvest!γ The god of the sea has finally favored us, we can return to the voyage again, the flounder made by the cook today seems to be particularly delicious, I miss Shataya, calculate the time, she should be about to give birth, but unfortunately I can't be with her, this is the fate of the people of the sea. γ
β¦β¦
[July 5, 1306]
[The ship docked, I also know the exact time, good news, Shataya gave birth to a pair of twins for me, I am going to name my brother Owen and my sister Faith...... Come on, Spot, you're going to have more people's lives on your shoulders. γ
β¦β¦
Vivien frowned slightly, this looked like a very ordinary fisherman's captain's log called Spot.
'Maybe I'm thinking too much, it's nothing special, that's great......
She breathed a sigh of relief and continued to scroll back.
The captain didn't keep a diary every day, he only wrote it when he thought about it, or when something special happened.
[March 12, 1307]
[Unbelievable, I caught a monster today!] It's hard to imagine that there is such a creature in the world, which looks like a combination of a man and a fish, with gills...... Old Hawke knelt down and said that they were the 'children of the sea', the true darlings of the sea, but I thought they were ugly monsters, and I was going to bring them back to town, and maybe the scholars would pay a lot of money for them, even if it was just a corpse! γ
[March 15, 1307]
[That monster, it seems to be able to speak? I must be crazy...... But it's weak, it's going to die, and it's useless to feed it seawater...... Old Hawke says we're going to be cursed, hehe......]
[March 23]
[The monster is really dead, before it dies, it seems to be chanting something, it is a very strange pronunciation, which makes people feel hairy when they listen to it...... I'm going to make it into dried fish so that it can be stored easily. γ
[April]
[The curse has been fulfilled, we haven't found anything since that day, and Old Hawke disappeared last night...... Hell, how could a fishing boat be missing? Could it be that he accidentally fell into the sea while peeing at night, but what about the scales and footprints I found? γ
