Chapter 17: The Ghost Ship

He Xiaoxi pointed to the Southern Islands and drew a circle and said: "The last news I found about the Spirit Tower is on the territory of the Sea Clan, according to the records of the Nature Temple, they have an army that follows Adriana, the last Sage of the Spirit Tower, to the Pearl Islands, but this pursuit team, including the two Sages, has disappeared without a trace. Of course, there was no news of the Adriana Sage after this, and no one knew the outcome of the battle. Many people speculate that it was a decisive battle at sea that would end together.

But I also noticed that in the days that followed, the Pearl Islands began to have the legend of ghost ships, occasionally ships disappeared on the course, and then many years later they were seen sailing in that area, it is said that those long-lost ships were seen, without a crew, but would control their own sails, sail in the sea, this kind of ghost ship often ignores the ordinary merchant ships, but will take the initiative to attack the pirate ship, when they get close to the pirate ship, there will be a lot of ghosts from above, haunting those pirates, making them jump into the sea in horror in hallucinations, when all the crew of the pirate ship is dead, the pirate ship will join the ghost fleetto become one of the ghost ships that hunt other pirates. Isn't that very much like the Spirit Tower's style of doing things?"

Master Gordon was a little puzzled: "I have heard the story of the ghost ship, but as far as I know, there are still pirates in the Pearl Islands, but the stories of the ghost ship are like unfounded rumors. ”

Xiao Chen said: "If you are the remnant of the Spirit Tower, will you act very high-profile? Or should you act secretly, slowly accumulate strength, and let others treat you as a nonsense? Pirates themselves are some elusive and unscrupulous guys, and it is also very dangerous to sail on the sea, once they encounter a storm, the ship will be destroyed and killed, so let a few pirate ships disappear from time to time, often it will not attract anyone's attention, but if you make too much fanfare, won't you expose yourself to the eyes of the Temple of Nature?"

Gordon nodded yes.

Luo Ling said: "Speaking of which, I am reminded of an anecdote I saw in the Kingdom Library.

It is said that more than 300 years ago, a great pirate leader wanted to attack a city in the southern city-state, and he ordered his four fleets to meet together in a certain sea area, and then land together to attack the city. But there was a fleet that had not yet arrived a full day after the assembly date, and the pirate leader thought they were in bad weather and had to wait for them.

However, that same night, the fleet suddenly appeared, but there was not a single crew member on the seven or eight ships, but there were many glowing figures shaking on the ships, and these things were also able to steer the sailboats, they seemed to have no weight, so the speed of the ships was very fast, and as soon as they got close to the pirates' ships, they began to attack with magic.

The great pirate's fleet was in a bitter battle, for as soon as his warriors fell, ghostly figures would rise from their corpses and join the ghosts on the other side, and in this way his men and ships would fight less and less, and the other man and ship would fight more and more. In the end, under the cover of the two ships of the great pirates, they escaped in a panic, but finally ran into the combined fleet of the southern city-states.

Naturally, they were easily wiped out by the combined fleet of the southern city-states, and before being hanged by the lord of that city, the great pirate told the story, but no one believed him, everyone thought that they were on fire and that he was simply defeated by his own people. But there was a clerk who recorded his story. What do you think?"

"It's really like the way the Gathering Roster is fighting. "I just rely on the Holy Scriptures to achieve this effect." But as far as I know, the Sages of the Spirit Tower have more than one kind of magic to achieve a similar effect. And Adriana is known as a manju sava who grows on the line between life and death, and if it were her, she should be able to do this easily. ”

"You actually have a saying about Manzhu Shahua?" Luo Lingqi said.

Glade said: "This is a flower name written in the Book of the Spirit Tower, also known as the Flower of the Other Side, because the Spirit Tower is originally a magic tower that communicates life and death, so they like to use this tone of name to nickname." ”

Luo Ling and Xiao Chen changed their eyes, it seems that the Spirit Tower and the traverser are also inseparable.

Xiao Chen said: "Then it seems that if you want to find the Spirit Tower, you have to make a trip to the Pearl Islands." This way to find the Pearl Islands, then to the Dwarven Kingdom, and finally to the Sea of Ice and Snow, but by the way. ”

He Xiaoxi continued: "There is another place that you can also go all the way to, and that is the Western Continent where the Tower of Origin is located. ”

"Western Continent?" several people in the audience couldn't help but shout.

The Western Continent is naturally another continent relative to the continent where everyone is located, further west in the Pearl Islands, through the entire Raging Sea, there is a continent much smaller than the Eastern Continent, that is the Western Continent. This continent is something that most people in the Eastern Continent don't know at all. For the few people who know about the existence of the Western Continent, it is just a concept. Further west in the Pearl Islands, the sea conditions and weather were extremely harsh, as if the gods had deliberately placed a barrier there.

The existing ships could barely cross that area, and only a few explorers in history had crossed that area, all of whom suffered very heavy losses, but the travelogues and observations they brought back made people lose interest in it. Desolate fields, vast forests, and ragged people.

The feats of those explorers may cause a new world craze in a short time, but this craze is rootless and will soon subside, and after a year or two there will be no follow-up progress, and no one will remember these things anymore. If there is smooth traffic between the two continents, maybe something like the colonization of the Americas on Earth will happen. However, the journey of death, coupled with the fact that there was nothing to pursue on that continent, made kings, nobles, and priests uninterested in it.

It's more backward, it's more barbaric, it's easier to conquer, and there's a variety of resources, but even if it's developed and occupied, there's no value in trading. Therefore, the eastern and western continents are almost incompatible. The people of the Eastern Continent don't know what the people of the Western Continent think of them, but in their eyes, the people of the Western Continent are outright barbarians, and the level of civilization may not even be as good as the orcs in the North.
