Looking at the fog area of the sea that gradually moved away from the stern of the ship, Leo recalled in his mind the secret of the sea area he had discovered, although the abyssal serpent's eyeball in his hand did not move, and the chaotic stomach pouch did not produce a sense of hunger, but he always felt that the black unknown creature might be related to the abyss.

Just as Leo was thinking about things, the old captain with a pipe in his mouth came over and said to Leo: "The Society for the Study of Mysteries has issued a huge bounty for exploring the mysteries of the eternal battlefield, and this bounty is still hanging on the black market, and it is accumulating, and the number is very amazing. ”

"Mysterious Events Research Society?" Leo was stunned when he heard the unfamiliar name.

"It's an affiliate of the Persona Society. The old captain said, biting his pipe.

"Do you know who I am?" Leo could feel the change in the old captain's attitude, and with the ease with which he told the Persona Society, a secret organization that ordinary people shouldn't know, it was clear that the old captain already knew something about his identity.

"Yes. The old captain nodded in acknowledgment and said, "Your Majesty, you are a very important guest,"

The old captain's words made Leo get two interesting information, one is that the Ice Queen, who has never met him, actually knows about him, and it should be related to the Witch Band, and the second is that he was a little surprised, that is, the old captain was able to contact the Ice Queen on the ship, so it means that there is at least one such thing as a telecommunication device on the ship.

Although Leo was curious about what this communication device was like and how it worked, he didn't ask, because he was sure that even if he did, the other party wouldn't say it, so there was no need to waste time.

Leo had no intention of talking, but the old captain had no intention of leaving.

The old captain saw that Leo's eyes were always looking at the sea mist, and Leo had been looking through the information about the Pirate King's treasure on the ship for the past two days, so he thought that Leo was also interested in the Pirate King's treasure, so he speculated: "Your Excellency, are you also thinking that the Pirate King's treasure may be in the sea under that mist? In fact, not only you think so, but many people have thought this way before. But if you think about it, you know that this kind of thing is impossible. ”

"Why do you say that?" asked Leo, turning his head to the old captain.

"Isn't that obvious?" said the old captain, pointing to the mist-covered sea, "that sea is located in the outermost layer of Skull Bay, and although it is still under the control of the Pirate Kingdom, there are so many people coming and going here that burying the treasure here is like placing the treasure in a crowded market." ”

Leo didn't agree with this statement, but he didn't refute it, because if the Pirate King's treasure was really in that area, he would not be able to break in and get it out.

"Anything else?" Leo turned to look at the old captain, and could feel that there was still something to be said about the other party.

The old captain said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, let me tell you that she wants to meet your Excellency?"

Leo pondered for a moment and asked, "Where?"

The old captain explained: "When you get to the mainland of Minsk, someone will contact you. ”

Leo didn't ask too much, nodded, and turned to head back to the cabin to prepare for the two-day treasure hunt in Skull Bay.

After another hour or so, the number of ships on the sea gradually increased, from four or five ocean-going vessels that entered Skull Bay with the Snow Queen, to hundreds of large and small ships of all kinds, most of which were mainly small fishing boats, among which there were also a few patrol ships with obvious military characteristics, and there were very few other ferries to and from the various islands.

It is not difficult to see that those ferries may have been rented by the treasure hunters who gathered here and sailed to other seas.

"Golden Island!" suddenly someone said loudly on the bow of the ship

In the distance, a huge island gradually faded from blur to clarity, and its skeletal appearance became more and more obvious to everyone.

Skull Bay is named not only because the bay is shaped like a skeleton, but also because of the fact that Skull Island, the former capital of the pirate kingdom, is located.

The island didn't start out as it is now, it looked like a skull from afar, but because of its location, a large number of pirates gathered here, and soon these pirates came together to form a pirate alliance, and on the day the alliance was founded, it was proposed to make the island look like a skeleton to deter other ships.

For this proposal, the people in the alliance naturally accepted it abruptly, so they began to transform Skull Island according to their ideas, but before the transformation of Skull Island was completed, this pirate alliance was annexed by other pirates, only to be annexed several times, but the transformation of Skull Island is still not over, and the later occupation still follows the transformation of Skull Island by its predecessors.

In this way, when it became known that the five pirate kings had gathered here to establish a pirate kingdom, the skeletal shape of the island was fully established, and the name of the island was changed to Skull Island.

The core of the entire Skull Island is naturally the platform above the skull's head, on that huge platform, the five pirate kings of the year did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to build a palace, standing at the top of the palace, as long as the eyesight is good enough and the weather is beautiful, you can overlook the entire Skull Bay.

Looking from the sea area of Skull Bay towards Skull Island, you can also see a huge skeleton with a crown.

Now the castle that once ruled the entire Skull Bay, or the chain of pearl islands, has been rented by a wealthy man in the United States and converted into a hotel, which is also where Leo lived on the island for two days.

As the ship got closer and closer to Skull Island, everyone's attention shifted from the crown at the top of Skull to the second famous scenic pirate graveyard in Skull Bay.

I don't know when the waters around Skull Island became a place for pirates to remember their comrades, and they would take the masts and skull flags from the dead ships to the open sea and shoals of Skull Island, and then insert them into the sea and nail the skull flag to the mast.

Because when the pirates made the pirate flag, in order to prevent the air corrosion at sea, the pirate flag was made of special vine fibers and special paint, even after hundreds of years, the pirate flag nailed to those masts was still as black as new, they were like tombstones towering on this shallow sea, quietly watching the ships coming and going, telling the past.

It is said that when someone comes to this pirate cemetery at night, they will hear the pirates singing the song of the storm, which used to be called the song of pirates, and now the song of freedom by Moissan.

"We'll come here at night, and maybe we'll be able to hear the pirates' songs. "Under the deliberate maneuvering of the old captain, the boat glided past the edge of the cemetery, and some of them began to discuss the evening's activities.

"It's better not to do that. Leo, who was standing next to him, spoke.

It's just that this sentence is not only Leo who says it, there is an old man on the other side who is also saying the same sentence, which makes Leo look at the old man with some surprise.

The main reason why Leo said this is that he can see through the True Eye and the Mark of the Webweaver that there is a lot of negative energy permeating this pirate graveyard, and these negative energies are likely to be related to the soul, but because Leo does not know much about the soul, he can't make a final judgment.

But he knows one thing very well, that is, if an ordinary person's body is exposed to this negative energy for a long time, the body will be damaged by some subtle damage, and the negative energy will be directly corroded, and the consequences will be unpredictable.

However, the old man was able to say such a thing, and he must have seen something, but Leo didn't feel any extraordinary energy fluctuations from him, and obviously the other party was just an ordinary person.

Leo remembered this old man, the other party boarded the ship in the port before Port Set, and the old man did not have any outstanding behavior on the ship, but he liked to take a book when the weather was good, and go to the seat next to the window near the sun in the deck dining room, and sit down while drinking tea and reading the book, which seemed very leisurely and inconspicuous.

If the old man hadn't said something like this suddenly, Leo probably wouldn't have given him a second look.

While Leo was looking at the other party, the old man also looked at Leo, then withdrew his gaze and said to the few people who proposed to go to the Pirate Graveyard at night, "In the past, many people like you who were curious about the Pirate Graveyard used to stay there for a long time at night, but do you know what happened?"

Perhaps it was the old man's tone, after his words fell, everyone couldn't help but feel a cold meaning, and one of the women couldn't help but ask, "What happened as a result?"

"As a result......" the old man opened his mouth in a tricky manner, then stopped, looked at the people who had been attracted to him, and said very seriously: "As a result, they all fell ill after returning because of the sea breeze that blew all night!"

Everyone was stunned, and then glared at the old man angrily, after all, they were originally going to hear some mysterious things from the old man's mouth, but it turned out to be such an answer.

However, they didn't pay much attention to it, and dispersed, and no one paid any attention to the old man who was playing with them.

"Alas, tell the truth, but no one listens, sooner or later something will happen. The old man sighed, shook his head, then turned to look at Leo, and said very abruptly, "You should be able to see it, right?"

"Yes, I can see that. Leo nodded, then asked, "You can't see it, can you?"

"Yes, I can't see anything. The old man seemed to understand Leo's words, sighed, looked at Leo with envy, and said, "I really envy you people with extraordinary powers, who can have easier access to the truth of the world than us ordinary people. With that, he held out his hand to Leo and said, "Belén Kane." ”

"Leo Dodd" Leo shook the other party's hand, suddenly seemed to remember something, was stunned, and said: "Belén Kane, the king of treasure hunting, Belén Kane. ”

The old man smiled and said, "If there is no second person in the world who can find so many treasures in his lifetime, also known as Belen Kane, I think the person you are talking about is me." ”

If you want to rank the ten most legendary people in the ancient and modern world of Veron, Belen Kane is definitely qualified to be among them, because he has personally found a total of seventeen treasures that are thought to be non-existent in his past life, and more than fifty ruins that have long been thought to have disappeared have been found with his assistance, so he also has the title of the king of treasure hunting.

However, Leo's first acquaintance with Belenchant was not the King of Treasure Hunting, but the old man Rembrandt, who was also a member of the Persona Society, and when Leo was studying with Rembrandt, Belén Kane sent someone to give a restored set of ancient books to Rembrandt for translation, and the result was that Leo became the translator of the book.

"I've finally seen you, Leo Dodd!" Old Belen smiled, and then said, "You must know that the book you translated back then has helped me a lot, if it weren't for your accurate translation, I am afraid I would not have been able to find the ruins of Kahilon, let alone that there would be such a highly civilized tribe in the ancient times of Vilon." ”

"Have you found the ruins of the Cahilon tribe in the northern ice fields?" Leo asked with interest, "What did you find in there?"

Speaking of which, the Kahilon civilization should be the first time Leo realizes that this world is related to the higher civilization of the universe, because the book that Leo translated is a history of the Casillon civilization written in a variant of the Papa language lock, and there are a lot of very abstract graphics in that book, but some of the graphics are even more abstract, and when they are linked to the text that matches the graphics, Leo still feels that there is a shadow of a cosmic civilization in it.

For example, in that book, there is a big bird that fell from the sky, and out of the belly of the bird came a slender giant called Gundam, and it was this giant that floated on the wisdom of the ancestors of the Cahilon tribe, so that they could survive in the harsh environment of the northern ice field.

In the myths of all countries in the world, there have been similar myths and legends, but none of them describe the unknown existence that opened the wisdom so clearly, even if Leo did not see it with his own eyes, just reading these words can bring up the image of the Wycombe Abbey man who has lost his armor.

It's a pity that at that time, his mind was more focused on wizards, psionic abilities and other things, and he didn't care about these things.

Now that he heard that the old Belém had found the ruins of the Cahilon civilization, he couldn't help but be interested in exploring.

"What do you think we found there?" Old Belen can be said to be a thoughtful person, and Leo did not make any disguise, so he easily saw Leo's thoughts, so he asked rhetorically, "What do you think will be found in there?"

"I think you'll find something beyond the civilization of this era. Leo didn't shy away from it, and directly said what he thought, and, showing the recorder on his wrist, said, "For example, this thing." ”
