Chapter 1236: Strange Positioning
"Was it just a blizzard?" Jeremy didn't expect that the chalk Perrault was talking about would be a blizzard. You must know that a natural disaster like a blizzard may be very terrifying for ordinary people, but it is not invincible for the strong people of the Strange Legend.
However, Jereme thought about what Perrau had just said, and quickly thought about the problem. The one who Pei Luo said landed on the island was a fleet of the Jindu Kingdom, and with the strength of the Jindu Kingdom, how could there be fewer chalk powerhouses in such a kingdom fleet. If even the strong people who are strong will be frozen into ice sculptures in an instant, then that blizzard can indeed be called a terrifying chalk.
Sure enough, hearing Jereme's question, although Perrault was not angry, there was a look of "what do you know" in his eyes, and then he said: "In the chalky dark age, the Jindu Kingdom can always maintain its independence in the Endless Sea, in addition to the balance between the High Elves and the Sea Clan, its own strength is also very important, otherwise it would have been destroyed by the Sea Clan or the High Elves a long time ago." The fleet that landed on the island could already be regarded as the ace fleet of the kingdom at that time, and there were nearly a hundred chalk strongmen alone, and a soldier at the most basic level had to have the strength of more than fifteen. And the high-level commanders of the fleet, there is no shortage of strong people who are at the peak of the chalk, and they are far from being comparable to the strength of those fleets today. ”
"There are so many strong people, is there no one who escapes?" Jeremy didn't fully believe Perot's statement, after all, Perot's information has evolved over thousands of years, and it is almost like some myth and legend, but it is certain that there are chalky powerhouses in that fleet.
"Yes, no," Perrault shook his head, as if he felt a little incredible, and said with a slight frown: "There are so many chalk powerhouses, and none of them have escaped the calamity. The chalk plague had caused the fleet to lose its connection with the kingdom, and it was only when the kingdom sent people to inspect it again that they saw the hellish scene from afar. All the battleships were turned into ice sculptures, and on the decks of the battleships you could see soldiers covered in ice with various expressions on their faces. After learning of the situation, the kingdom immediately began to study rescue measures, but when the rescue fleet re-entered the sea, they found that everything had disappeared without a trace, even the ice-covered island. ”
"Uh, so there's nothing left?" Jereme felt a little funny at this time, and said it so lively, but in the end, there was nothing left, and all the evidence was gone, so would the so-called cursed island still exist in chalk?
Perrault saw Jereme's suspicions, in fact, for thousands of years, even the people of the Kingdom of Jindu had many doubts about the authenticity of this legend. When he also became his father's deputy and began to deal with the kingdom's maritime affairs, he learned more things that ordinary people did not know, so he said to Jereme: "In fact, later, the kingdom also got a lot of information, and some maritime merchants or fishermen reported that they had seen the cursed island in that sea. It's just that, according to what they said, when the kingdom sent people to investigate again, they always came up in vain again. Therefore, in the end, the kingdom had no choice but to make the sea area a forbidden area, and the existence of the island was hidden from the nautical charts. ”
Listening to the mythical and legendary story, Jeremy Mae couldn't tell the truth from the fake, but fortunately, whether it was true or false had little to do with himself, he just had to write it down and relay it to Lin Li to get the precious chart.
After chatting with Perrault for a while, Jereme couldn't sit still, for fear that he would forget the things he had just remembered if he sat down again, so he asked Perrault to say goodbye again. However, at this time, the party was indeed coming to an end, so Perrault did not keep him any longer. It's just that when sending Jereme away, Perrault reminded him a few more times, telling him not to have the slightest curiosity about that ominous place.
After leaving the party, although it was already midnight, Jeremy immediately rushed to the embassy in the Tower of Twilight, and was almost caught sneakily as a thief.
After receiving a report from his subordinates, Lin Li interrupted his meditation and asked his subordinates to take Jereme to a room. In fact, he didn't expect that Jereme's efficiency in doing this thing was quite high, and what he said in the afternoon had already been inquired about in the middle of the night, and it seemed that this gentleman was not useless.
After seeing Lin Li, Jeremy immediately relayed the news he had heard, and almost recounted what Perrault had said, almost word for word. Of course, during this period, he also had to show credit to himself, how to get out what news on his own whims, and so on.
After listening to Jereme's relay, Lin Li couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and it was not difficult to see from this information that the so-called cursed island was by no means simple. A snowstorm froze a fleet of the Jindu Kingdom in an instant, and none of the hundreds of Chalk Strange powerhouses escaped, which is probably something that ordinary Sacred Domain powerhouses can't do.
And what Lin Li especially noticed was not the things that followed, but the news that someone had discovered a powerful magic item at the beginning. I'm afraid that when those people got the magic items, they also broke something on the island, which caused the shock later. So, could everything that happened on that island have something to do with the Immortal King? Lin Li remembered what he had seen in another world, and felt as if he should explore it himself.
Lin Li came back from his contemplation and saw Jereme looking at him with blank eyes, and immediately remembered the benefits he had promised to the other party. It was just a chart, and he didn't want to settle for it, so he took out a scroll from the Ring of Immersion and handed it over, saying, "Okay, Prince Jereme, thank you for this time, this is a chart for you." ”
"Master Ferrey is polite, it's my honor to be able to help you, thank you or not, then I will accept this chart." Seeing the chart in Lin Li's hand, Jereme's eyes immediately lit up, although he said kind words in his mouth, the movements in his hand were not slow at all, and he took the chart over.
Of course, for Jereme, the harvest is not only such a chart, but more importantly, it also gains the friendship of Lin Li, a young Sanctuary powerhouse. When he returned from Sky City, he was scolded by King Leding a lot because he offended Lin Li in Sky City. And this time, not only did he get the precious chart, but he also got in touch with Lin Li, and after he went back, it was definitely big
After getting the chart, Jeremy asked enthusiastically if there was anything else he needed to serve, and after receiving a negative answer, he reluctantly left the embassy in the Tower of Twilight.
When Jereme left, Lin Li thought for a moment, waved his hand to open a spatial crack and stepped into it. Through the rift in space, he had already returned to the Star, which was still anchored in Helena's harbor, and then asked his men to call Julio Blackbeard and his brother Jack to meet him.
What Jereme heard should be the official version of the Kingdom of Jindu, so Lin Li planned to ask Julio and Jack to see what they knew about the so-called Ominous Land.
"Captain, I don't know if you have any instructions to come over to our brother?" Julio asked Lin Li after greeting and saluting. At this time, it was already midnight, and although it was above the level of Chuanqi, sleeping was no longer a necessary means of rest, but being found at this time, it was obvious to him that there was something urgent.
Lin Li motioned for the two of them to step forward, and then pointed to a sea chart that had been unfolded on the table, the sea area known as the ominous land, and said, "Do you know anything about this sea area? ”
Julio and Jack took two steps forward and came to the table, but when they saw the position of Lin Lizhi, their faces immediately changed suddenly. Julio recovered quickly, looked at the chart carefully, and said with a little apprehension in his tone: "Yes, this sea area is known as an ominous land in the Jindu Kingdom, and there is an island in the sea that is said to be cursed, and a powerful fleet of the Jindu Kingdom was once buried in it. ”
Hearing Julio's answer, Lin Li was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it, there was nothing strange. Julio is also a great pirate who has been in the Endless Sea for many years, and even a pirate family that has been inherited for thousands of years, so he will naturally have a lot of information that ordinary people in the Jindu Kingdom do not know.
"So, what else do you know about this ominous place?" Lin Li then asked.
"Actually, we were able to escape from the chalk of the Jindu Kingdom's navy precisely because of this sea area." When Julio said this, the expression on his face was a little unnatural, perhaps because he was a little afraid of his original choice. Of course, under that circumstance at that time, it was certain to die if it fell into the hands of the navy of the Jindu Kingdom, and there was at least a glimmer of life in that cursed sea.
"You've been to this sea?" Julio's answer immediately aroused Lin Li's interest, after all, what Jereme heard about was thousands of years ago in the Kingdom of Jindu, but Julio came from that sea area, so he must know some different information.
"Yes," Julio nodded, glancing at his brother Jack, both of whom had a faint fear on their faces, and said in their voices slightly trembling, "And, and we seem to have seen the cursed island." ”
Julio then describes the cursed island he saw. What Julio said was basically not much different from what Jereme had heard, especially the hundreds of warships of the Kingdom of Jindu that were frozen around the island, which was enough to show that the two sides were talking about the same island.
"So, if you were asked to find that island now, would you still be able to find it?" Lin Li said and motioned to the two of them to look at the chart again. After all, although that sea area may only occupy a small part of the Endless Sea, its actual area is probably larger than that of the Kingdom of Fran, and it is not easy to find an island there.
In particular, Lin Li still remembered what Jereme said when he came, that the Kingdom of Jindu once wanted to beg for the frozen fleet, but then he couldn't find the island. Although this may seem a bit strange in terms of the navigation technology of the Jindu Kingdom, the environment of the Endless Sea has always been unpredictable, and it is not surprising that the sea area may have been affected in some way, and it is not surprising that there are some changes that can make people get lost.
Julio hesitated, but stepped forward to take a closer look at the chalk chart, while recalling the islands he had passed along the way and calculating the distance according to the speed and time of the ship. After all, there is no serious shipping lane near that area, and Julio can't tell the exact location of the island at once, as long as it is reversed according to various conditions.
After nearly two hours of calculations, Julio finally pointed his hand at a location in the sea and said, "If my calculation is correct, the island should be near here, and there may be some error, but it will not exceed this range." As he spoke, he circled a range on the chart.
However, seeing the location pointed out by Julio, Lin Li's face showed a somewhat puzzled expression, because the location pointed out by Julio was thousands of nautical miles away from the location identified by the Jindu Kingdom that Jereme had heard. It stands to reason that it is impossible for the Kingdom of Jindu not to even know where its fleet is buried, but it is said that the Kingdom of Jindu really couldn't find the island later.
What's going on, is someone telling a lie, or is there some hidden mystery inside? Lin Li couldn't judge for a while, after all, Julio didn't seem to have a reason to deceive himself, and Jereme shouldn't have someone to deliberately mislead him when he went to inquire about the information.
It seems that you still have to explore it yourself! Lin Li knew that there was only so much he could ask about that island, and no matter how much effort he put into it, it was unlikely that he would learn more. Therefore, he decided not to delay the time, but to explore the so-called cursed island for himself to see if it had anything to do with the Immortal King.
With this thought, Lin Li immediately ordered the sailors to prepare for the voyage of the Star. Then, he opened the spatial rift again, bringing the two undead minions, Ouyfarusi and Nophil, as well as Conneris and Angelano, from the embassy to the Star.
During the time the Star was in Port Helena, all the previous damage had already been repaired, and the problems found during the battle had been improved. Therefore, when it comes to preparation, there is actually not much to prepare, especially since Lin Li doesn't want the news of the Xingchen to leave to spread too early, so he doesn't need to go down to replenish food and fresh water.
