Chapter 561: A Ship Like No Other

"Marine Ecological Regulation Device. Leo put down the metal plate in his hand and muttered to himself.

The metal plate-shaped encoder belongs to a device known as the Marine Ecological Regulation Device, which was given to it by the Earth Federation, and its real name is a series of special sound waves that cannot be pronounced by Earth creatures.

The alien race that made this instrument is from an ocean planet, this planet is completely made of water, and the civilization of this planet will inevitably have alien colonization behaviors after entering the sequence of cosmic civilization, just like the Earth Federation, but there are too few ocean planets suitable for their survival in the universe, so they can only transform non-ocean planets through some special methods.

For example, using technology to capture multiple comets made entirely of water, drop them on non-habitable planets, let the planets have water, and then use technologies such as marine ecological adjustment devices to modify the planets to fit their lives.

Because the planets that the alien race chose to modify were all uninhabited planets, their modification did not violate the rules set by the Supreme Council, and the marine ecological adjustment devices they produced were therefore able to be sold.

Although the Earth Federation is not a marine biological civilization, their demand for water is not low at all, and the development of many colonial planets has been shelved because of water problems, so when this kind of marine ecological adjustment device was sold, they ordered it in large quantities for the first time, and they did not consider whether this thing was suitable for the colonization star of the Earth Federation.

The planet where Leo once lived was such a water-scarce colony planet, not because of the literal lack of water, but because the water resources here were not suitable for normal people. That's why I thought of using a marine ecological adjustment device.

As for whether the device will eventually work, Leo doesn't know, because before he bought the device and installed it, his team had already set off for other troubled planets.

After determining the corresponding device of the metal plate, Leo naturally thought of the ocean of the world of Vinylon, if there is no mistake in the painting, the ocean of the world of Vinon should be the corresponding marine ecological adjustment device of this metal plate.

Thinking of this, Leo picked up the metal plate on the table and prepared to put it in the storage space for the time being.

However, before he could make a move, the hull of the ship was shaken by a wave.

It stands to reason that the hull swaying like this will not have any adverse effect on Leo at all, but the strange thing is that Leo did not stand firm under such a shaking of the hull, and the whole person fell forward, smashing his head towards the corner of the table.

In this case, Leo instinctively stretched out his hand and pressed the corner of the table to stabilize his body, but at the same time, when he reached out, he threw out the metal plate in his hand, and when he came back to his senses, the metal plate had flown out of the small window of the cabin and fell into the sea.

And when he opened the spiritual net, about to find the metal plate, and used spiritual energy to retrieve it, a big fish suddenly appeared out of nowhere, swallowed the metal plate in one bite, and then when Leo was still stunned, he dived quickly, swam out of the coverage of Leo's spiritual net, and disappeared into the depths of the ocean.

It all happened so suddenly, so abruptly, and the whole process was completely unexpected, and more importantly, Leo found that his thinking and reaction had somehow become wrong, almost as if he had become a normal person.

After calming down, Leo carefully checked the situation on his body, and did not find anything abnormal on his body, but even more shocked in his heart, because it could silently affect his body and mind, and he could not detect any abnormalities, this power was even more terrifying.

Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but want to take the unknown creature fossil out of the storage space and carefully study what kind of power it contains. But in the end, he resisted the urge in his heart and did not touch the fossil of the unknown creature.

Because he knows very well that no matter how much he researches, he may not be able to research something useful, obviously the power contained in this fossil of an unknown creature is beyond the scope of his research ability, rather than taking it out, inadvertently touching the power in it, and finding some trouble for himself, it is better to let it stay in the storage space, and wait for the ability to take it out and study.

Although he lost the metal plate, Leo did not let his guard down, he had already felt how powerful the unknown force that changed his luck was, and he didn't know if a metal plate was already the equivalent of changing his luck, so he always kept his guard in the next two days in case something unexpected happened.

As a result, it wasn't until the ship docked at Emerald Island, the westernmost and northernmost island of the Pearl Island Chain, that no accident happened again, and the discomfort in his body disappeared, and then he was sure that he had returned to normal.

After the ship docked at the dock, none of the passengers on the ship got off the ship, and were gathered in the hall by the captain, and at this time the sheriff of the island was also in the hall, and asked some questions routinely, although it has been clear that Kunstan died in an accident, but after all, it was a dead person, and there were some financial disputes with other people before he died, and it was still necessary to ask some questions.

It's just that the sheriff here also knows very well that the person who can afford to spend money on a special sailboat like the Ice Queen must be either rich or expensive, far from being offended by a local sheriff like him, so the questions asked are also careful to avoid touching the privacy of passengers.

Soon the questioning was over, and the sheriff lifted the ban on the ship, but as he ordered Kunstan's body to be carried down, his eyes couldn't help but linger for a moment on the financial assets left behind by Kunstan, apparently with some caution.

Leo wasn't at all interested in what the sheriff of the island was going to do with Kunstan's body, he was more interested in how Kunstan got the fossilized bones of this unknown creature, and he couldn't find any useful clues from the bone fossil itself, or the stone box that stored the bones, so he could only see if there were any relevant clues on Kunstan's body.

"You want the diary and ledger of the deceased?" Leo followed the island's sheriff to the island's police station, and then made a direct request to the sheriff, who was extremely surprised.

Leo had just discovered that Kunstan's relics contained a basic diary and ledger, and while he wasn't sure if they contained anything useful to him, it was still a source of clues that he couldn't give up.

"How much do I have to pay?" asked Leo directly.

"Twenty gold guilders. The sheriff was not polite, and directly offered the highest price in his mind.

Leo didn't say anything, and directly took out twenty gold guilders in cash and put it on the table.

The sheriff knew that his offer was a little low, but even though he was upset, he did not regret it, and took the twenty gold guilders in his pocket, and walked into his office, and after a while he saw him return with a bag, and handed it to Leo.

Leo's spiritual net was always spreading around, and the sheriff's every move was under his surveillance, and he knew very well that the other party was not playing tricks, so he didn't check the number of ledgers and diaries in the bag, and turned around and left.

After returning to the ship, Leo took out the diary and ledger in the bag, quickly flipped through it, and soon found the information he wanted from the ledger.

Kunstan was a very careful man, he never recorded any important information in his diary, and even if he did, he would record it in some special secret language that only he understood, so Leo did not find anything useful in his diary, but in his portable ledger, Leo found a transaction record about the bones of unknown creatures.

In this transaction record, only the stone box is mentioned, and there is no mention of the bones, apparently the box was sealed before Kunstein got the box, and the seller did not know that the box contained a fossilized bone of an unknown creature, so only the price of the stone box is recorded in the ledger, and the table from which the goods were purchased is recorded in the Boggari Bazaar.

"Bhagari's Bazaar?" Although he got a message, but getting it was the same as not getting it, Leo didn't know where the Bhagari's Bazaar was, he could only judge from the items he bought, it should be in the northern power of the Minsk continent, Saville, because the coin paid here is called Kinsa.

At nightfall, the captain sent someone to tell Leo that the ship would sail for the night, that he needed to buy something, and that he was going to buy it now.

Leo was a little puzzled by the captain's decision, as few ships sailed at night, and this was obviously too unusual.

However, before Leo could ask questions, the other passengers had already preempted the captain's decision, but the captain's explanation was that leaving as soon as possible would not delay the trip, and if he stayed here as originally planned, the trip might be delayed for more than ten days.

Of course, everyone was not satisfied with the captain's explanation, but it was difficult to say anything, because after all, the captain of the sea was countless times more experienced than them, and all they could do was to obey the captain's orders, fortunately, the reputation of the Ice Queen was very good, otherwise, they would all think that the captain was planning to do something wrong.

When everyone dispersed and the old captain began to sail the ship, Leo thought carefully about the explanation given by the old captain, and then walked to the deck and directly activated the Seagod Mark on his body.

Standing in place for a while, Leo withdrew the power of the Seagod Mark, and turned his head to look at the old captain over there with deep meaning.

He already knew why the old captain would say that continuing to repair here according to the original plan for one day would delay the trip for more than ten days, because when he activated the power in the Seagod's Seal, he had already felt that a huge storm was slowly forming in the nearby sea, and once the storm formed, then the island would inevitably be involved, and then it would inevitably be trapped on the island, delaying the trip.

It was clear that the old captain had some way of knowing about the storm that was forming, so he decided to leave early and sail out of the sea to avoid the storm.

In this regard, Leo naturally would not object, he had hoped to reach the Minsk mainland as soon as possible, and the old captain's decision was exactly what he wanted.

In this way, amid the complaints of many passengers, the Ice Queen slowly sailed out of the harbor and sailed into the depths of the ocean under the light of the moon.

As had been predicted, about six or seven hours after the Snow Queen had left port, the otherwise calm sea began to rise and fall violently, and strong winds began to rise around it, which caused the old captain to take away a few mainsails and reduce the speed to stabilize the hull.

Leo had already activated the Poseidon Mark and sensed the formation of the storm when the sea was turbulent, and although the old captain had made the right sailing decision and was fast, they still could not get out of the storm's area when it formed.

Fortunately, however, the ship is now on the edge of this huge storm, and even if there is some wind and waves, it is not too big.

However, the crew and the old captain of the ship did not know that they were on the edge of the storm, so they quickly fixed the various movable items on the ship according to the normal procedure, and then lowered all the sails to half, as if they were in full swing.

The old captain also changed into a waterproof captain's suit at this time, came to the rudder of the stern, and took the rudder from the first mate, and at this time he saw Leo standing on the deck not far from the stern, and immediately shouted: "Mr. Leo, please go back to the cabin, it is very dangerous here." ”

"Thank you for your curiosity, it's okay!" Leo shook his head and said with a smile, "I want to see the storm in the sea here, please do it your own way and ignore me." ”

Seeing Leo say this, the old captain didn't say much, he could see from the previous gambling table that Leo was not an ordinary person, so he was not worried about Leo's danger.

The old captain then took out a ball-shaped charm from under his neck, and then turned the charm quickly, and the charm became a key, and then he was seen inserting the key into the keyhole in the center of the rudder, and twisting it half a circle.

Leo's spiritual network immediately sensed the Ice Queen at his feet, and the moment the key was opened, many Turing roots in a closed state were activated, although the appearance of the entire ship had not changed, but the inside had become another ship.

What caught Leo's attention the most was that these Turing roots began to reassemble and deform at the moment they were activated, and then reconnected to form a three-dimensional root that Leo couldn't understand at all.

To be honest, Leo was stunned when he saw that this three-dimensional root began to take shape, because this change was completely beyond his expectations, and it also made him realize that his previous knowledge of this ship was only scratching the surface, and the power of this Ice Queen was probably far beyond his expectations.
