Chapter 229: Shipwreck

"What the hell are you looking for. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Dilley, walking in the grass on the shore of the lake, wagged his tail and said dissatisfiedly: "I've been pulling the boat for an afternoon, and I'm hungry now, so I'm going to have dinner, and I don't want to eat grass at all." ”

"It's easy to eat, Lina, help throw him a bone, let him go to the side and gnaw it, hey, don't bite, I'll do business, just wait a while." Pannis struggled to pull his calf out of the manticore's mouth, and even his trousers were bitten through a few small holes by Digley's sharp teeth, but he didn't bother complaining now, and kept moving along the shore of the lake, his eyes still looking around, obviously looking for something, but he never said it.

"He's probably looking for a boat. Catherine's tacit understanding was enough to guess Pannis's purpose: "If you want to find the place where your grandfather's team landed, only by finding this location can you continue to follow their path, whether it is to find clues to the temple or to find out what happened back then, it is more convenient." ”

"It's not easy to find a boat. Dilly saw that there was no distortion of his soul for the time being, and suddenly spread his wings and rushed to the surface of the lake, circled in a small area nearby and then landed again, and said very seriously: "I didn't find it." ”

"Idiot. Pannis didn't bother to look at him, rolled his eyes and said, "There are twelve of them, and there are so many luggage, you think for yourself how big the boat will be, if it is still on the lake, unless we are all blind, how can we not see it." ”

"Where else can you stop on the shore of the lake? Dilly retorted, "You know that with such a big boat, they have a problem with their brains to push them to the shore." And if they push the boat ashore, will they not be able to go back?"

"If it were them, would you still walk on the lake when you returned?" Pannis asked, pouting, "Anyway, if it were me, I would never enter the Lake of the End again without being fully prepared." The goblins of the Second Age can make anything, and who knows what strange equipment exists in this lake. ”

"Well, that seems to be true. Dilly was speechless for a moment, and could only mutter, "Then there is no need to push the boat ashore, isn't it in vain?"

"At the bottom of the lake, of course. Pannis suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed into the lake: "Found it, there it is." ”

If you look at it from a distance, the clear water of the lake is black, and you can't see what it is, but when you go in and observe, you can see that it is a wreck, and the structure of the ship is the simplest, but it is much larger than an ordinary wooden boat, enough to accommodate twelve people. The wooden planks that make up the hull have rotted due to age, and it is because of this that the wooden boat has sunk into the water in its entirety, and the other pieces of wood that have fallen off due to decay have long been unknown where they have drifted with the lake.

"It looks like they came ashore from here. Pannis searched for a while in the grass on the shore of the wreck, but for forty years all traces had been obscured, and the only thing he had to gain was a rotten oar he held in his hand, and a cable wrapped around a raised rock beside the oar.

"They had tied the boat to the shore, but it was clear that they had no intention of coming back. Pannis did not dive into the water, but only observed the wreck from the shore: "This kind of boat, if you want to continue to use it on the return trip, will definitely be covered with a waterproof tarpaulin and nailed, but you see, there is no such thing on the surface of the ship, so they don't think about crossing the lake at all on the way back, as I guessed." ”

"In that case, then this ship has little search value. Catherine said regretfully: "If you are ready to give it up, you will definitely take all the items away, and nothing of value will be left." ”

"Actually, there will be a little bit left. Pannis jumped into the water before he could finish his sentence, his clothes were already soaking wet anyway, and he didn't care about getting wet again. When he swam up again, he held a mud-stained metal bucket in his hand and said, "Well, it does leave things behind, like garbage." ”

"If it's garbage, why do you bother to pick it up again. Catherine bent down and took the salvaged metal can, and looked at it several times, but she didn't find anything special, but the knight girl didn't really think that Pannis was idle and bored to do this, since he had fished up this jar, there must be something special, so after the girl teased, she still asked, "What kind of jar is this?

"Some of them were hurt. Vivien glanced at the metal cans and said, "The jar should be filled with a kind of ointment, which is also a kind of healing potion, specially used to treat broken bones, but we never use this ointment, no wonder you don't recognize it." ”

"Their part-time pastor, Vina, still needs to rely on this medicine to treat broken bones, so it should be adjuvant treatment between three days. Rina curiously took the metal can and asked, "But why are you sure what medicine is inside?"

"Because this is a standard medicine produced by the Alchemy Guild, this is the only bone breaking potion that can be held in a metal pot with a similar shape. Vivien explains: "It's not particularly stable, and it needs to be kept absolutely protected from light and airtight, so it's stored in metal cans. However, these were decades ago, and later someone improved the potion and strengthened the stability of the drug, so it was enough to use an ordinary crystal bottle. ”

"It seems that grandfather, the journey through the middle of the lake was also difficult. Catherine sighed and said, "They must have used it when they were finishing the ship, and then left the empty cans on the ship." ”

"It shouldn't rain today, the lake won't rise. Pannis sniffed in the air and said, "Let's stay here at night, I have a look, the nearby twisted souls are far away, even if Fira's potion expires, those guys will not find out." ”

"You're going into the water?" Catherine asked, "There's no need, even if my grandfather left any clues, which had been soaked in water for decades, they wouldn't be able to find out." Now that the light has begun to dim, those twisted souls often can't see clearly in the water, and if you don't notice anyone who is close, isn't it a waste of risk?"

"It's okay, Dilly's eyesight is actually better than mine, he helps me keep an eye on the water, and there will be no problem. Pannis shook his head and said, "You guys set up camp first, it won't take too much time for me to go into the water to explore, I guess I should have come up after you set up camp."
