Francis felt the undercurrent in the water, much faster than he had imagined. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is very rare, there are often undercurrents under the surface, but usually not in such a small range, and not at such speeds.

But Francis was not so surprised to think that the area was the remnants of volcanic activity, and although the odds were small, sometimes volcanic activity would leave a channel, and if it was underwater, it would be possible to create such turbulence - that was what Magellan had told him a long time ago.

Francis carefully dodged the undercurrent, which was often dangerous, and the turbulence might hold on to the sailor until he drowned, or slap the sailor the reef at the bottom of the sea.

But Francis couldn't find a way around the undercurrent, and as he carefully escaped the current and tried to approach the building from the other direction, another undercurrent captured him.

It was like an invisible python that silently wrapped around Francis, leading him towards the rocky walls at an alarming speed.

He quickly gave up the struggle, because no matter what he did, there was no escape, and Francis struggled to turn his body in the water and looked towards the top of the cliff.

The first mate noticed the anomaly almost immediately, and the speed at which Francis was moving was astonishing.

At that moment, the black giant remembered a friend of his, who had jumped off a mast on a desert island and hit his head on a reef underwater.

Brains mixed with blood spread slowly in the clear waters, and the foam on the top of the waves was dyed pink, leaving a trail on the sand.

"Save him!"

The pious raised his right hand towards Francis and began to prepare for the miracle.

Francis, who was in the water, was getting faster and faster, almost hitting the rock wall, when a white light shifted him a little to the side.

Then he stopped in embarrassment like a man who had fallen from the sky into the sea. Francis struggled to the surface and swam towards the cliff.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any other way. ”

The pious man nodded to Francis in the water below from the edge of the cliff, causing the latter to burst into laughter.

"Thanks, but we're in trouble!"

The sailors came to the mountain with ropes and began to make rope ladders.

It didn't take long for Francis to climb up the rope, but he brought bad news.

"The turbulence surrounded the building, and we couldn't get close, we couldn't get the charts out. ”

"Isn't there a way to get around?"

The devout man frowned and shook his head: "I can take a look at it with a miracle, but I'm afraid there won't be any chance......"

Then a white dot of light emerges in the air and falls downwards into the water.

It looked like a spot of light in the dark night near the surface of the shrimp in the cold northern sea, floating in the endless darkness.

The points of light soon made the turbulence under the water visible, and they were dragged into a bright trajectory at the almost furious speed of the current, completely separated from the floating points of light beyond the turbulence, intertwined into a large web without any loopholes, covering the black building.

"Magellan never gives his opponent a chance......"

Francis sat on the edge of the cliff and sighed as he looked at the barrier.

"The question is, how did Magellan himself get in?"

"We'll know the answer. ”

All were convinced that they could find the answers, but no one knew what they should do.

"It reminds me of the cumulonimbus clouds I encountered on the airship before......"

"It's rare to have such turbulence in the sea, no, it should be said that there shouldn't be anything like this here at all. ”

Even the most knowledgeable sailors rarely see the underwater turbulence, which often requires very harsh conditions, and the turbulence itself means great danger and is rarely approached by seagoing vessels.

"If everything here is due to a volcanic eruption, then this turbulence may not be entirely unreasonable. "Actually, the original intention of the countess on that voyage was to find the ruins of Atlantis, and in many legends and records, Atlantis may have been an island destroyed by a volcanic eruption, which is why the countess of New Taipei County came here......"

"We just need to know how to get in. The first mate shook his head and pointed to the point of light running wildly in the water.

"Maybe that's the clue......" Francis hiccuped and spat out a mouthful of seawater, "the eruption created turbulence, why?"

"If the countess is right, then there was originally an island here, which had collapsed after a volcanic eruption, creating a complex reef in the sea, and the rocky mountain on which we were," the professor said, gesturing to his feet, "the black color is characteristic of volcanic rock. In the eruption, the hot magma hits the seawater, creating a large amount of steam, and in the process of solidification, it creates a channel that extends in all directions, so as long as the sea water flows, it creates turbulence in this channel. ”

"What kind of sea flow can create turbulence at such a speed, and why is there so much turbulence, so complex, and yet not interfering with each other?"

"Nature's creations are always born with accidents that humans can't imagine, but the question of what kind of sea flow creates turbulence is a very important question. ”

Francis nodded, knowing that the answer to that question was the key to the building through the turbulence.

"The force that keeps the sea moving is the tides most of the time...... But the tides rarely affect underwater. Besides...... But I don't remember ......."

The first mate's doubts were Francis's, and the ability to create currents beneath the surface was most of the time one of the two great forces of the sea that sailors loved most of the time, ocean currents, but Francis could not recall that there were currents nearby when they came here.

"Let's think about the darkness we saw when we came here, and what is the law of its movement?"

Francis smiled: "We've been sure it's a tide, but the tide generally doesn't affect the flow of water below the surface. ”

"No, isn't darkness the flow of water beneath the surface of the sea?"

The question of the pious silenced everyone.

"Sounds ......" the first mate looked left and right, "it makes sense......

"But this time there are no symbols, how are we going to find the answer?"

The devout man sighed, "I still have the sketches of all the symbols, and the tablets, and there won't be any other sources of information, right?"

The professor smiled wryly and nodded, "Let's look at these symbols again." ”

"Science is watching us, and we will succeed. ”
