Chapter 403: Dead City

The identities of the other three members of the team are all mysterious, and the information about them is very limited.

I put the file aside with a frown, and picked up the old notebook that was tucked away from the reference file.

It's a very thin cowhide book.,It looks like it's not a short time.,But fortunately, it's well maintained.,To this day.,The cover of the book is still very complete.,There is no sign of damage or wrinkles.ใ€‚

As soon as I picked up the notebook, Fiser said, "This is from fifty years ago. โ€

Hearing him say this, I was shocked in my heart.

A book from fifty years ago? How is this possible!

I opened the cover and looked inside, each piece of paper was clean white, but with a slight dampness, if it was a book from fifty years ago, the pages would have been yellow and brittle.

The contents of the book are not written in English.,It's like Spanish.,I'm only slightly involved in this language.,But it's impossible to understand what's on paper.ใ€‚

I sighed helplessly and handed the notebook to Fis'er: "I can't read the text on it. โ€

Fiser raised an eyebrow and showed a look of surprise: "You can't read Spanish?" But when I talk to you, sometimes I use Spanish. โ€

"I can understand, I can't understand," I pointed to the notebook in his hand, "Please help me repeat it." โ€

Fiser should have read the contents of the book repeatedly, he didn't need to read it, he could repeat those contents, at this time he threw the book aside, and said: "This is the logbook that Haiting found from the Iron-beaked Eagle ten years ago, the captain of that ship is called Daji Ding, nicknamed Fire Mouse, fifty years ago, he was also a big man in the sea market. โ€

I casually asked, "This person is the same era as Wu Lin?" โ€

Fess'e was stunned: "Have you also heard of the one surnamed Wu?" โ€

"I often hear people around me mention him, and listening to your tone, you don't seem to be very good with him."

"Hmph, since he came to Haishi, no one has believed in me at all."

"Why?"

"Because he has far more control over the city than I do, at this point, you and he actually want to, but the two of you who dominate the city are completely different."

The more this guy talked, the more angry he became, and I didn't have time to listen to his nonsense, so I quickly brought the topic back to the right track: "Let's continue to talk about the logbook." โ€

Fiseu's mind shifted quite quickly, and he immediately put away his emotions and continued to state to me the contents of the logbook.

In fact, what he said was not exactly the content of the logbook, but the beginning and end of the disappearance of the Ironbill Eagle fifty years ago.

One of these passages is recorded in the nautical diary, and some of it is added by Fisรจre himself.

In the Inland Sea, there is a long rainy season every 50 years, and it rains from spring to the end of winter, during which it only rains constantly, but the wind and waves are not large, but the direction of the East China Sea has been covered with mist, and the visibility of sea navigation is quite high, which can easily cause ships to get lost.

That's when I learned that the entire Inland Sea is divided into two seas to the east and west, with Bermuda at the western end of the East China Sea, the Cape of Good Hope at the eastern end, and the western end of the West Sea with the ends of the world.

The long rainy season always occurs only in the East China Sea.

When the Ironbeak Hawk set off from Haishi, it was just in time for the end of the long rainy season, when the Northern Hemisphere was in the midst of harsh winter, and the Ironbeak Hawk was destined for an ice sea in the heart of the Arctic.

The logbook does not mention why the ship left port so suddenly and headed for the North Pole, but the log only says that at first after they left the port, the further north they sailed, the cooler the temperature became, and by the time the ship sailed into the prisoner's sea, the rain had turned into goose feathers and snow, and ice and snow had already accumulated on the sea, making it more and more difficult to sail.

But Captain Otera seemed to have a premonition that the road ahead would suddenly become better, and he wrote in his diary: "It may take another three or four days for the ship to pass through the ice." โ€

Supposedly, the further north you go, the thicker the ice will get at the end of the month, but he thinks that the ship will be able to pass through the ice in three or four days, which is a bit of an overstatement.

As it turned out, the Great Temple was right, and three days later, they really passed through the ice and came to an extremely warm sea.

The snow turned into a curtain of rain again, and as soon as he heard the sound of the rain crashing against the window, he walked to the deck with a few crew members and looked hard in the northwest direction.

According to the journal, the Great Temple saw a huge water mirror a mile away, and the sunlight reflected on it, and the reflected light was even more dazzling than the sunlight itself, and in the water mirror, the legendary city of the dead city was also reflected.

Fiser first said "Dead City" in Spanish, probably because he was afraid that I would not understand, and said it again in English.

After carefully recognizing the voice coming from his mouth, I realized that the original words he uttered should be "the land where the people of the sea live forever".

I listen to someone and hear what he wants to say, not literally, and sometimes I have to listen to the other person's pronunciation deliberately to know the literal meaning.

For example, if you are going to travel to Xi'an, I ask you where you are going, and you tell me that you are going to Xi'an, but when you say the word "Xi'an", you think that this city was the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, and it was called "Chang'an" in ancient times, then what I heard was "Chang'an", even if you said "Xi'an".

The city that was originally reflected in the water mirror was originally called "the place where the sea people live forever", but Fiser called it "the city of death" in his heart.

The word "ๆฎ" has only one meaning, and that is "death".

A city full of death.

But why is it called the place where the sea people live forever, and what is the sea people?

I don't understand what the word "water mirror" means here.

When I asked the questions in my mind one by one, Fiser just shook his head: "I don't know how to answer these questions, I just repeat the contents of the log." โ€

"Have you ever been to the Dead City?"

"No, but I've read some relevant information, the old scriptures say that it used to be a place where the sea people were imprisoned, but anyone who entered the sea people would eventually sacrifice their flesh and blood to a certain god, but I can't tell what the sea people are."

After this, Fiseu continued to repeat the previous words, and after seeing the dead city, the great temple had the sails lowered, and the sailors shook their oars and let the ship slowly come to the water mirror, and they waited silently by the water mirror until the sun set below the sea level, and then drove the ship into the water mirror.
