Chapter 308: Forgotten Island
The book in Leo's hand was a diary, in Old English, and written in the same style as the high-class aristocracy, which also led him to confirm that the owner of the diary was the member of the English royal family.
Although Leo knew the Chinese language of the King of England, he did not know much about Old English.
Because the English royal family came from the French Empire, the Kingdom of England initially used ancient French as the official language, and then the Kingdom of England began to accept immigrants from other countries, so that the Chinese language of the Kingdom of England was involuntarily mixed with the languages of these countries, and finally gradually formed a unique set of languages of the Kingdom of England.
Although the language of the Kingdom of England appeared very early, almost within a hundred years of the founding of the Kingdom of England, and formed a system, this language was only used in the conversations of the lower people, and never became words and was written on paper, and all the books of the Kingdom of England were still in Old Franclamic at that time.
It wasn't until the Kingdom of England began to rise on the sea that the Kingdom of England felt that it should get rid of the shadow of the French Empire and become a powerful independent state, so the first thing they did was to improve the Old English language.
The Old English language was improved three times in total, and eventually became the current common English language, and the Old English language used in the diary in Leo's hand should only be the English language that has been modified once.
From some unique words on the note, it is not difficult to see that there are a large number of unmodified Old French words, and the sentence structure is the sentence structure of the Sigmar Kingdom, and some of the conjunctions have not been modified, and directly use the vocabulary of the Kingdom of Mares.
Although Leo does not know this version of Old English, he already has an excellent linguistic foundation, and has a certain understanding of the languages of Francic, Mares, and other countries, and will soon be able to grasp the rules of this Old English language and read it little by little.
There are not many contents in this diary, most of them are some sea logs and the like, but there are more than a dozen pages in these diaries, and the members of the English royal family have written some things in Bimothy that they don't want others to know.
Bimos Secret Language is a kind of secret language invented by a person called Bimoth who can freely create according to his own needs, which was first used for important military letters, and then was used by nobles, becoming a private message language used by nobles, and almost every noble family has its own Bimoth Secret Language.
This encrypted language has been used for a long time, almost longer than the use of the lingua franca of some countries, but more than a hundred years ago, another linguist of the kingdom of Mares accidentally discovered a specific law in the vocabulary combination of this encrypted language, and found a set of cracking languages according to this specific law, so that this encrypted language that has been used for hundreds of years has completely withdrawn from the stage of history.
When he learned Gamoret from Rembrandt, Rembrandt taught this encryption language, because the combination law of this encryption language is derived from the root combination law of Gamore, so learning this encryption language can help Leo master Gamoret faster. In the same Bimothine, there is also a shadow of Gamorey in the cracking language, so he also learned the cracking language by the way, but he didn't expect that these two languages can be used here now.
Soon, Leo completely cracked the dozen or so diaries written in encrypted language in the diary, allowing him to see the true purpose of the Inga royal family member on the Jackdaw.
Through the contents of this diary, Leo knew that the reason why the Inge royal family was sent to the Jackdaw as Drake's lieutenant was, as he speculated, mainly because he was worried that Drake's power was too inflated, in order to spy on Drake.
On the Jackdaw, the Inge royal family not only sent members of the royal family, but also specially installed a team of elite sailors, who only obeyed the orders of the Inge royal family, and would not follow Drake's orders.
In this regard, Drake did not have any objections, and calmly accepted this distrustful arrangement, and it was precisely because of his frank acceptance that he gained more trust from the English royal family, at least in the content recorded in the diary, the content of Drake, the royal family members will write in a praising tone, the only criticism is Drake's lustful personality.
However, in the dozen or so diaries written by Bimoth, there is another story, which is another purpose of the English royal family to plant people on the Jackdaw, to find the son of the sea god.
In these encrypted diaries, it is not specifically written what the son of the sea god is, but thinking of the previous discovery, I am afraid that the son of the sea god should be the object banned in the stone ball.
In addition, the Crypto Diary mentions a place known as the Forgotten Isle, where the Inger royal family believes that the Poseidon Son is on the Forgotten Isle, and he is sure that Drake is the only one to arrive on the Forgotten Island and leave with his full memories.
In fact, after seeing the name Forgotten Island, Leo felt a little familiar, as if he had seen the name somewhere, and after recalling it carefully, he found that the name Forgotten Island appeared in a fairy tale book, and even more interesting was that the book was seen in the town of Lake in the dream world.
In order to better understand the situation in Lake Town, Leo had purchased a variety of books, and some of them were also the focus of his collection, because almost all of them were derived from the most popular folk legends, and a large part of these legends were adapted from facts, so analyzing these fairy tale books can find some hidden mysteries in the depths of this world.
The reason why Leo remembers the fairy tale book of the Forgotten Island is that it is the only book that mentions the ocean, and the people of the dream world have never seen the sea and cannot know what it is.
Because of this, the compilers of that book made some notes to explain that the ocean is actually another name for Silver Moon Lake.
In that book, some things about the Forgotten Island are detailed in detail, such as the origin of the name of the Forgotten Island, that is because everyone who arrives on the Forgotten Island will involuntarily forget it the moment they leave the island, and will not retain any memories, only those who have obtained the mark can remember everything that happened on the Forgotten Island, but will forget the location of the island.
In addition, the book mentions that the Forgotten Island is inhabited by a god who rules the sea, and built a palace on the island made of all huge stones, and sent two of his servants to guard it, one servant is the calamity, and the other is the servant opportunity, the calamity pushes the people who come close to them to death, and the opportunity gives the dying people a ray of life.
Thinking back to the contents of that book now, it is clear that this deity should be referring to the god of the sea, and there are two servant gods beside him, one is the guardian of the abyss in the form of an octopus, and the other is the disembodied storm plague.
Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but recall the storm that sent the Queen Mary to the bottom of the sea, and thought of the strange and deadly plague on the Queen Mary.
In the Goddess of the Sea belief in the Kingdom of Inge, the plague of the storm was not only in charge of the storm at sea, but also over the plague at sea, and in the early voyages, the plague epidemic on the ship was very likely, and those who died of the plague would be thrown into the sea as sacrifices to give to the plague of the storm, praying to appease his wrath so that the storm would not appear on future voyages.
"Could it be that the plague has something to do with the god of the sea?" Leo couldn't help but have some conjectures in his mind, and couldn't help but mutter, "But why did you do this? Is it because of me?" or because of someone else?"
Leo carefully recalled the whole process of boarding and shipwreck, analyzing every suspicious point, and finally judged that the problem was not with himself, nor with the other passengers on the same ship, but most likely with the cargo transported by the Queen Mary.
He remembered that the owner had vacated the entire bottom compartment of the Queen Mary, including a large number of lower cabins, in order to load the cargo.
According to the greedy practice of the shipowner who did not hesitate to modify the first class cabin and let the first class passengers share it with other passengers, the vacated bottom compartment should be full of cargo, and only then would it be worth the loss of his reputation.
But Leo now looks back and finds that most of the Queen Mary's warehouse is empty, and some of the guest rooms are also occupied, and those people are not ordinary people, but soldiers.
This anomaly should have caught his attention at the time, but his mind was all on the items of the Wyzik people at that time, even if he found something unusual through the spirit network, he didn't think about it so much at all, and now he thought back with suspicion, only to find out that there was something strange in it.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is the Forgotten Island. After making some judgments, Leo returned his attention to the situation in front of him and made a bold guess.
Leo didn't have any basis for making this guess, he didn't find a temple made of stone on the island, and he didn't find any traces of gods, but his intuition told him that this was the Forgotten Island, and that this place, like the Black Forest, was also a subspace that overlapped with the real world, and the best evidence was the psionic creatures that inhabited it.
Leo decides to wait until dawn tomorrow to explore the entire island to see if he can find some useful clues.
Just as Leo put down the diary in his hand and was about to rest, a wave of psionic energy fluctuations from outside made him alert, and he turned on his spiritual vision, let go of the spiritual net, and walked onto the deck.
By this time, the sky had completely darkened, and because there were no clouds, the stars in the sky were very clear.
For Leo, the stars in the sky were tired of seeing when he was in the Earth Federation, and he couldn't attract his attention at all, and his eyes that blessed his spiritual vision were all at the junction of the beach and the jungle outside the ship.
I saw that some very small points of light appeared in that place, these small points of light looked like fireflies, but each of them contained extremely strong spiritual energy, and Leo's spiritual vision could see these points of light more clearly, and after seeing the true face of these points of light, his face also became serious.
Although Leo guessed that the island he was living on was the Forgotten Island, and knew that the Forgotten Island was the back garden of the sea god, he didn't want his guess to be right. Because in his opinion, even if he was already a fifth-level psionic being, he was still an ant-like existence in front of this ancient god who was likely to reach the omega-level advanced creature, and this feeling that he could not control his fate and life really made him feel uncomfortable.
But it was a pity that he might have to experience this uncomfortable feeling again, because at this moment he had determined that this island was definitely the abode of some ancient god, if not the Forgotten Island, and the reason why he was so sure was those small points of light, and those small points of light were some little goblins.
When he was in the Black Forest, Leo had seen this kind of goblin, but the little goblins in the Black Forest were much larger than the little goblins he saw now, and I am afraid that the strength should be much stronger, but when he was in the Black Forest, his strength was still very low, not enough to sense the strength of those goblins.
At first, he just regarded those goblins as ordinary psionic creatures, until he gained the knowledge of the webweaver, he learned that those goblins were divine creatures, and they would only appear next to the real old gods and serve the old gods, and when the old gods died, the little goblins would also die with the old gods.
Therefore, the appearance of these little goblins means that this is probably the abode of an ancient god, and more importantly, this ancient god is still alive, but a little weak, otherwise, the shape of the little goblin would not be so small.
These goblins gathered at the junction of the jungle and the beach did not make any noteworthy movements, but just flew irregularly in the air, and constantly emanated waves of psionic energy from their bodies.
It didn't take long for Leo's spirit net to sense that something was unusual in the sea, and he immediately shifted his gaze to look at the pitch-black sea. I saw that in addition to the waves formed by the reflected moonlight on the sea surface, there were some biological light clusters under the sea surface that seemed to be produced by plankton, and these light clusters were more and more, and they became brighter and brighter, and even overwhelmed the waves on the sea surface, forming a sea area of light.
The clusters of light slowly followed the waves towards the shore, and when they were about to run aground, they saw the clusters of light standing up from beneath the water's surface.
I saw that these light clusters were all transparent jellyfish that emitted real light on their bodies, and they supported their bodies through their small tentacles, moving forward slowly, and soon walked onto the beach, and walked to the junction of the beach and the jungle.
After the jellyfish entered their area, the goblins that were flying all over the sky immediately gathered around the jellyfish like bees attacked by a hive, and opened their small mouths full of sharp teeth to attack the jellyfish.
Then the jellyfish quickly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then disappeared, turning into countless points of light that were captured and devoured by these little goblins.
Constantly these light jellyfish emerge from the sea, move towards the jungle, and are devoured by the goblins. Although the goblins devoured the jellyfish very quickly, the number of jellyfish was so huge that it exceeded the limit of the goblins, so some jellyfish crossed the death line and entered the jungle.
However, the moment the jellyfish enters the jungle, some changes occur that surprise Leo.
