Chapter 11: Heading for the Abyss
"Johnny turned out to be Mordred's first mate, the old guy is quite skilled, the twelve Templars sent by the Sect of Light were all cooked by him alone, and he brought me back twelve left ears, which is ruthless enough. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: Π¨Π©Π©.(7)(9)XS.ΡΠΠ. I still have this ability when I am old, and I can imagine it when I am young. More than 20 years ago, he had a quarrel with Concord because of trivial matters, and he didn't wash his hands, but he didn't expect that now he would come together again because of usury, and he also involved the Illuminati Cult. The old guy is tough enough, he is poor like that, he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, with the 'friendship' of the year, say hello to Mordred, can you still have a bite to eat?"
In front of the communication tower, Duck is 'talking' with George.
Mordred moved quickly, and by noon the next day, he and Dack arrived at the Strait of Kgomo, where Dack and Isabella were finally able to sail to Jacque. By this time, George had arrived at the satellite city of Bagpipes, on the outskirts of Jacque, where the Dark God branch was located.
Mordred made it clear that he wanted to join the Cult of the Dark God, and actively mobilized his subordinates to join the Cult. George was also happy to find a foothold in the icefield, and the two sides hit it off.
Listening to Duck's words, George said, "I'm fine, what kind of trivial matter can make the first mate of a powerful pirate group leave it alone." β
"Isn't it okay to ask people about their 'privacy'?"
"Well, that's right. Besides, the last few decades are probably not worth much - when are you going to Jagenke?"
"Tomorrow. Mordred suggested that I take a boat to Bagpipe Castle and then change to an airboat to JagenkeβI heard that the closer you get to Jagenke, the more crowded it becomes?"
"Yes, the waterways are full, and the cruise ship is not as fast as the small sampan. β
"Then why don't we row over? β
"Jagenke, a thriving tourist city, a city of the rich. When I was at the bagpipe castle, I could smell the strong smell of copper wafting from there. Rich people definitely don't want to sit on a small sampan, and, just imagine, just when you are young and rich and you are holding the girl you just met and talking about life, a tattered little sampan slowly stretches through the bright water street behind you - the picture is too beautiful for me to see. β
Duck smiled: "I understand, you have to die to save face and suffer the sin." Can you stop so many airships over there?"
"Most of the high-rise buildings have airship platforms, no problem with take-off and landing, and the airship that covers the sky is also a scene, and at night, the lights are on, which is one of the night scenes of Jagenke. I've got some things to do here at Bagpipes, so I'm not going to Jagenk, and I'm in touch with the Bagpipe Castle branch of the Dark Gods. β
"What about the Cult of Light reaching out in this direction?"
"There's no problem with Bagpipe Castle, if it's in Jagenke, as long as we don't take the initiative to provoke, the Cult of the Illuminati won't dare to blatantly do anything to us. I'll arrange. Oh, by the way, I've got a magical image here, don't make a noise, just watch it quietly. β
The projection flashed twice, and the image began, and it was the underwater scene. Countless schools of fish swam around happily, and after just a dozen seconds, the schools of fish were frightened and fled in all directions.
Before the foam they flicked out of their tails could disappear, three slender giant fish swam straight ahead, however, the inconspicuous metallic glimmer frightened Duck to his feet: "Underwater boats?"
Underwater ships are not to blame, as early as the port of Snell, Royce piloted the diving assault ship Socrates, invented by George. But its depth and endurance under water are a problem. Now these three ships seem to have been improved by George?
The body of the submarine was thinner and longer, about eighty meters, like a giant spiky shuttle, and it had almost no deck, and it seemed that George had made up his mind to keep it underwater. The three ships wandered around, arranged a zigzag array, and slowly sank.
Then, a behemoth rumbled over the heads of three submarines, the bottom of a large ship, three hundred meters long.
Three submarines sneakily floated, quietly following the big ship. Then, two spherical hatches were opened in each of the three ships, and several black balls quickly floated with bubbles and stuck to the bottom of the big ship.
Duck couldn't hold back any longer: "George, what the hell are you doing?"
There was a cruel laugh: "I call it floating thunder, or you can call it a bottom mine." And what other ship, the Titan, would be a better target?"
"You're crazy, do you know how many people will die?"
"Don't be nervous, all floating mines are not loaded with 'medicine', drills, drills. β
"I guess you must want to see the rich man of the ship being scared to pee, can't the ship's surveillance circle find out?"
"Of course I found out, I snooped on their communications, and their judgment was 'Three Sword Dolphins. 'Honestly, Duck, I don't like the name of the ship, I don't like the rich people who are arrogant, and I don't like the captain and crew who have two thousand two hundred lives in their hands and don't take safety seriously. β
"Oh, oh, O dark god, listen to this madness. George, why do I feel that you are bent on 'sinking' this greatest, most beautiful, and most noble ship in the history of human navigation? β
George shrugged: "I just heard a similar story, also a ship of the same name, hit an iceberg in the vast sea of ice and sank. Two thousand two hundred and twenty-four passengers were killed at the bottom of the sea. That's a tragic story. β
Duck also shrugged his shoulders in his way: "It's a pity that you actually hit the iceberg? That lookout must be a blind man, and the first mate is a nerd who can't take the helm, captain...... Needless to say, it must be an idiot. β
"Perhaps the whole ship has a pair of binoculars, and it has been locked into a cabinet by the lookout of the 'handed' shift in front, the first mate who has evaded the order has misjudged the situation in the water, and the captain is a daredevil, who is bent on arriving in port early and ordering the maximum speed to be rushed to death. β
Duck laughed.
George also smiled and said, "But it's okay, the image you saw was already yesterday afternoon, and the Titans are safe and sound." Three submarines have also successfully returned to their secret underwater base at Bagpipe Fort. β
"Okay, wait, you said Bagpipe Castle has an underwater base?"
"Of course. I wasn't idle when you and Lara were fighting to the bottom of the Arak - if we hadn't been able to solve the air reserve problem, with the abilities of the Steel Rock Slime and the Thunder Slime, our submarine would have been able to run all the way from Snell to Jagenk!"
"Be careful, if the Titans have three long and two short, you won't be able to tell what you are talking about. β
"Who found out? Who knows what those three sword dolphins are? Who can prove that there is a connection between the wreck and them?"
"Okay, Mistress George has a last resort - have you seen the Breathing Stone? What is that? Can it be used?"
"It's just that the magic image doesn't mean much, so take it to the bagpipe castle. β
"I feel like you have a lot of trust in the Bagpipeburg branch, who's in charge?"
"Master West, the only one of the three sages of alchemy remaining. β
West is a famous professor at the Royal Alchemy Academy in Doland, and is known as the Three Sages of Alchemy, along with the mad alchemist Rodriguez and George's father Nicholas.
"Wasn't Master West under house arrest by the Cult of Light and trapped in Snell Harbor, and how did he get out of the surveillance?"
"Thanks to the flesh and blood golem-making skills you got back from the Arra, we made him a perfect double, quietly swapped him out, and moved here. β
Duck let out a long sigh of relief: "With this great god sitting in the formation, I can finally relax, right?"
"Of course, this simple task is to get you out to eat, drink and have fun. β
"Don't be funny, my dear black-hearted boss. β
The two laughed and left. George went about his alchemical research, and Duck happily dragged Isabella to a barbecue feast of reindeer 'meat'.
At this time, the Titans luxury cruise ship is speeding across the sea at its highest speed.
The wind is calm and the waves are quiet, the sky is clear, and the deck passengers are fluttering, all like immortals.
A pair of young men and women were in deep love, and they actually risked their lives to stand by the guardrail at the bow of the ship and hugged and kissed them unwillingly.
It's such a relaxing sight.
Unbeknownst to anyone, this was the first and last voyage of the Titan.
A terrifying huge 'shadow' is quietly 'approaching' it.
