Chapter 555: Two Ships

The first region in the world to openly accept dependents was not Vinaya, but the northern ice and snow kingdom of Minsk, Dalyat.

As early as more than 200 years ago, when the power of the Orthodox Church had not weakened, when the adjudicators of the Orthodox Church hunted down members of the underground church and all kinds of evil gods, and even the royal families and nobles of other countries did not have special privileges in front of these adjudicators, Dyliat resisted the pressure of the Orthodox Church to openly accept the immigrants of his family.

The reason why Delliyat made such an astonishing decision was mainly because the two great powers in the south, the Kingdom of Mares and the Kingdom of Savile, put too much pressure on it, and if it did not make changes, then it was likely to be annexed by the two great powers of the South.

More than 200 years ago, there were not as many as the three kingdoms of Dyad, Mares and Saville, and at that time the three countries were only the three largest powers in Minsk, and there were dozens of countries of different sizes in the middle of the three powers.

The largest of these kingdoms occupies more than a dozen cities and can compete head-on with the three great powers, while the smallest has only one city, feeling more like a lord's domain than a kingdom.

This situation has been going on for a long time, after all, the original countries on the Minsk continent were independent of the French Empire's pioneering ridges and hundreds of desert tribes, and the number of countries on this continent even reached more than 5,000 at its peak.

However, this situation changed more than 200 years ago, when the lightning attack of the Kingdom of Maris and the Kingdom of Savile against the Minsk Mountains and the surrounding area of the Guga Desert took less than a year to eliminate all the small countries in the surrounding area, reducing the number of countries on the Minsk continent from more than 100 to three.

Dyad, who was originally about the same strength as the other two countries, suddenly felt that his strength had been stretched out a lot, and the top level of Dyyat knew better that when the two southern countries digested the land and population they occupied, they would inevitably target it, and now it has no way to increase its national strength in a short period of time.

Therefore, the courtiers of the kingdom gave the king an idea to grant the right of abode to the dependents, so that these dependents with special power could serve the country, join the army, and resist the foreign land.

Eventually, this policy was carried out, and in the ensuing Great Patriotic War, it was very effective, and it could not help but repel the two southern kingdoms, and also pushed the territory of Dyadat hundreds of kilometers to the south.

It's just that some of the drawbacks of this family immigration policy began to be highlighted, such as discrimination, such as the problem of family control, etc., which caused various turmoil within the Kingdom of Dailyat, and the political situation of the kingdom was divided.

However, even so, the kingdom of Dalyat still has a large number of clans settled, and it is still the kingdom with the largest known clan group.

Like the current commercial ocean-going sailing ship belonging to the Ice Queen, the people who control the ship are all dependents, which is absolutely invisible in other places, but for ordinary people, these crew members are also ordinary people, so they are not like Leo, after learning about the actual situation of the sailboat, the surprise in his heart.

The entire ocean-going schooner looks like it was converted from a sea monster ship. The sea monster giant ship is the largest sail power ship in the world of Velon, and it is also the last masterpiece of the sailboat, the giant ship is nearly 700 meters long, with a total of eight cabins, seven main masts, four main sails, three triangular sails, and fifty shooting holes on both sides of the hull for giant mechanical crossbows.

Such a masterpiece of giant sailing ships was supposed to shine at sea, but on its first voyage, it encountered a sea battle, and the person in command of the war happened to be a general who was very proficient in naval warfare, and easily discovered that the flaw of this sea monster was that it was difficult to steer, and it took more time than other ships.

In this way, the final result is self-evident, the monster giant ship was sunk on the first day of sailing, and it became a ship of this type and was also shelved.

It was only later that the Ice Queen took a fancy to this kind of ship, and rebuilt it, converted it, and incorporated it into her private commercial fleet, becoming a unique logo of the Ice Queen Chamber of Commerce.

When Leo boarded the sailboat, he had already used the spirit net to get a thorough understanding of the situation of the entire ship. Learn all the secrets of the ship.

The reason why Leo was able to grasp the secrets of this ship so easily was probably because when the Ice Queen built this ship, she never thought that there would be a psionic skill like the Spirit Net, which could easily scan the entire ship, nor did she expect that a wizard like Leo who was proficient in the Gamorite language would be able to identify all the Turing roots and layout techniques on this ship.

However, it is more likely that the Ice Queen felt that even if someone could crack all the secrets of the ship's operation, there would be no way to imitate it, because Leo estimated the price of building such a ship after analyzing all the secrets of the ship's manufacture and operation. If he puts all his current wealth into it, he may be able to build one, but the problem is that even if he has money, he will not be able to build it because he does not have enough psionic materials.

The biggest difficulty in building this strange ship is not the various Turing roots and divine runes that are scattered all over the surface of this ship, and with Leo's current knowledge, these Turing roots can be easily drawn, and the divine runes can also find a replacement. The real difficulty is actually where to find so many psionic materials with the same psionic wavelength.

When Leo uploaded it, he found that all the psionic materials of the entire ship were all the same wavelength, whether it was the keel and deck used to build the ship, or the specially made bow statue and sail, all emitted the same psionic wavelength, and this completely unified psionic wavelength made the psionic energy fluctuations of the entire ship very powerful.

If this ship is alive, then this ship is definitely a psionic creature with a psionic level of five or above, and if it is put on the battlefield, such a psionic creature can already influence the situation of a naval battle.

However, it is obvious that there are not many people who can truly understand the true power of this ship, compared to such a sailing ship, the Ocean Cruise Miracle Star of the Nova Shipping Company docked at the first pier not far away is the miracle of the sea in the eyes of ordinary people, a huge sea monster that will never sink.

In terms of a single volume, the first pier with a total length of four thousand meters had to be completely emptied of all ships to allow the giant ship to dock, and the body of the giant ship could not fully enter the dock, and a third of it was exposed in the sheltered bay outside the dock.

In addition to its length, the hull height of nearly 80 meters makes it look like a high mountain, towering over the wharf, and if you count the chimneys, the height reaches more than 100 meters, and even in the urban area far from the wharf, you can still see the ship's seven huge chimneys standing tall.

Half a month ago, the publicity of the maiden voyage of the giant ship of the Nova Shipping Company has been launched in the port of Set, not only the port of Set, but also other port cities in the Kingdom of England, inland cities, and even foreign countries.

Therefore, in the first two days, when this giant ship docked at the port for repairs and waited to set sail, the whole port of Scith was like a festival, and countless people from all over the country came here to look up to this great miracle that can be called the world's highest technology.

The tickets for the higher cabins were not sold publicly at all, and they had already been booked by the magnates of various countries, who came to the Kingdom of England early and waited for the departure date, while the second-class tickets were sold out in less than half a day after the public sale, and the tickets for the lower cabins were also sold one after another, and the ticket price was once as high as three times the pre-sale price, and it was difficult to find a ticket.

For all those who bought a ticket, this world maiden voyage of the Miracle Star was definitely something to show off for a lifetime, but in Leo's eyes, taking this Miracle Star was definitely not a good choice.

When Leo asked the butler to book a ticket to the mainland of Minsk, the butler mentioned the maiden voyage of the Miracle Star, and also said that he could buy a room in the upper class, and Leo felt that something was wrong, because when he heard about this huge ship, he couldn't help but think of the stone city where the sea god lived.

And now after seeing this giant ship with his own eyes, Leo is more sure of his previous feelings, because he feels an inexplicable power on this giant ship, this power is not emitted by the giant ship itself, but like an external force to wrap it, what is even more strange is that he can only vaguely feel this power, but no matter with the spiritual net, or with the spiritual vision, he can't clearly see the details of this power.

"What a wonder of the world, isn't it?" Leo stood on the bow of the Ice Queen and looked at the giant ship in the distance, when a rough and heroic voice came from beside him, followed by a bearded old man with a captain's hat and a pipe in his mouth, walked up to Leo's side, looked at the Miracle Star in the distance with envy in his eyes, and said, "If I can have the opportunity to become the captain of that ship, and command that ship once, I would be willing to die." ”

"In that case, you're going to really die. Leo turned his head to look at the old captain of the Ice Queen, but did not say what was in his mind.

In Leo's spiritual network perception, this old captain who doesn't look much different from an ordinary old man is actually a family member who has been deeply mutated, and looks like some kind of insect, but because the skin on his appearance perfectly camouflages his mutated state, making him not look abnormal.

Although Leo did not speak, the old captain couldn't help but have a feeling of weakness in his heart, and felt that the other party might have seen through his true situation, and this feeling was even stronger than when Leo boarded the ship this morning.

In the morning, while Leo boarded the ship to scan the entire ship through the spirit network, he also scanned the family crew members on the ship by the way, and roughly grasped some of the situation of these family members.

Among the crew members of these families, the vast majority of them are some hidden dependents, and there is no state of mutation on their bodies, but there are three people whose mutations have reached the completion of the body, and they have to use other means to cover up their monster appearance.

It's just that they are all still in a rational state and have not been affected by the mutation, if it is just one person like this, it may be a coincidence, but several people are like this, then it means that the Ice Queen must have mastered a method that can make the family unaffected by the bloodline.

However, because of some special reasons, they are very sensitive to the fluctuations of external forces, and when Leo scans them with the spirit net, they also feel something, but they don't know what's going on, they just know that it comes from Leo, so these days, their attitude towards Leo is mostly respectful, as long as Leo doesn't trouble them, they won't restrain Leo.

It is very rare for an old captain to take the initiative to talk to Leo like this. Now that he has taken the initiative to talk, the old captain naturally will not give up, and under the strong pressure of the discomfort in his heart, he said in a deep voice: "In an hour, we will sail, do you need to buy anything here?"

"Nothing to prepare. Leo replied casually.

"Uh......" The old captain wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

Seeing the old captain like this, Leo simply expressed his concerns for him, and said, "You're worried that I'm making trouble on the ship, right?"

"Huh?" the old captain didn't expect Leo to say so directly, and he was stunned for a while before he blushed and said, "I am indeed a little worried, because since you got on the ship, the alarm in my room has not stopped, and the power you have can already pose a threat to this ship." ”

Leo looked down at the deck of the ship under his feet and asked suspiciously, "Can this ship think like a living person and distinguish danger?"

"Of course not. The old captain shook his head repeatedly, then stomped his feet, and said, "It can only briefly sense the danger of the guests when they get on the boat." ”

Leo shook his head, unlike the old captain, Leo really found out all the secrets of this ship through the spirit network, and he also knew the function of sensing the state of the boarder, and even he knew how to block this function, but he heard from the old captain's mouth that the ship seemed to be able to automatically scan the boarder, and it could also actively analyze the danger level and warn the captain.

Obviously, this ability is similar to that of low-level artificial intelligence, and Leo did not find a similar effect in the Turing roots and other runes on the ship.

"Is there a secret I haven't discovered?" Leo had a trace of doubt in his heart, but he did not show an abnormal look on his face, but calmly said to the old captain: "I am just an ordinary boat passenger, I will get off the ship when I reach the destination, and I will not cause trouble, you can rest assured." ”

"So best, so best!" the old captain smiled and turned away after receiving Leo's response, although he ostensibly believed Leo's words, but in fact it was unknown whether he believed or not.
