Chapter 556: Tinstus

If it weren't for the Miracle Star, the Snow Queen's departure might have caused some commotion in the docks of Port Set, since it was hard to find such a sailboat on the surface of the sea.

However, because the miracle star is so eye-catching, anyone who comes to the docks will be attracted by this monster ship, and all the other ships on the docks are hidden in the shadow of this giant ship.

The old captain of the Ice Queen was well aware of this, so he did not give a sailing salute as usual when he sailed, and after all the guests had boarded the ship, he set sail directly at anchor, and soon left the harbor and headed for the port of Tinstus in the southeast direction.

I don't know if it was unintentional or deliberate, but when the Ice Queen sailed out of port, the Miracle Star suddenly sounded its whistle, and according to the rhythm of the whistle, it was inferred that it should be the rhythm of the farewell whistle.

In past naval battles, after a battle was over, both sides began to ask for losses, and then the soldiers on both sides would hold some farewell gifts for the ships and soldiers sunk in the war.

Farewell gifts vary from country to country, and no one has ever thought of unifying them before.

However, with the invention of the steam engine, the ship was also equipped with a steam engine, and some people began to tinker with the use of the unique whistle sound of the steam engine to write some special whistle languages that can be used at sea, after all, the whistle can be heard far away, and it is more boundary than the flag language, and finally seven years ago, the first set of whistle language became the only whistle language recognized by various countries under the promotion of the Continental Congress, and the whistle language of the farewell gift is also among them.

For those who don't know the language of the whistle, the whistle of the Miracle Star is just a piece of music, after all, such a loud whistle is not something that can be heard casually, but for the sailors on the Ice Queen, this whistle is a series of provocative sounds, as if someone is telling them that your ship is outdated, and the bottom of the sea is the most correct destination for this ship.

They were very similar to retort, because they knew very well how amazing the sailboat beneath their feet was, but they couldn't, because the ship didn't even have a steam engine, so there was no way to fight back with a whistle.

It was also because of this episode when leaving the port that during the subsequent voyage to the port of Tinstus, the southernmost mainland island of the Kingdom of England, the ship's sailors, first mates, and captains all had a stinky face, as if everyone around them owed them money.

The passengers on the ship also sensed that something was wrong, so instead of staying on the deck to enjoy the sea scenery as usual, they stayed in the cabin to avoid the dreary atmosphere on the ship.

Leo didn't leave the cabin either, but his mental web spread around the ship as it sailed, sensing all the movements that arose in the ship's motion.

However, by the time the ship arrived at the port of Tinstus, he had not been able to find out any other secrets from the ship.

The port of Tinstus is located on the southeast side of the main island of the Kingdom of England, sailing from the port of Sette, with a tailwind and downstream, it only takes about half a day to arrive, which is the southernmost part of the kingdom and the latest land discovered in the Kingdom of England.

More than 100 years ago, Tinstus was still in the sea, which was just an endless ocean, and with the eruption of an undersea volcano, the land in the sea was offered, and until the volcanic eruption ended, this sea area also added a small island out of thin air.

After the discovery of this small island, scholars speculated on the cause of the island, and the royal family directly put the name of Tinstus on the island, which is not in English, but in the language of the sea god that only the clergy of the Poseidon Church will learn by heart, and its meaning is the gift of the sea god.

From the day of its discovery, this island has been the link between the Kingdom of England and the mainland of Mozambique, and it has been transformed into a military port in the early days, where the Second Military Department of the Navy is located, and the number of warships heard here has reached more than a hundred, so the port dock here is also the largest dock in the Kingdom of England.

However, with the loss of the colony, the Kingdom of England completed the absolute domination of the Pearl Island Chain, and the role of the military port of Tinstus was weakened a lot, and the Second Military Department of the Navy was transferred to the Pearl Island Chain, and all the facilities of Tinstus Port were converted to civilian use, and with the development of these years, it became the most important material transit station of the kingdom.

The island's former military camps have all been converted into warehouses, and only a few barracks have been converted into residential quarters, but there is a lavish temple of Tanah Lot on such a compact island.

This temple not only has a temple full of classicist features, but also a square with the same size as the temple, and there are more than a dozen fountains in the square, which is also the most amazing thing about this temple, because these dozen fountains have not stopped since they were built, and the water that comes out is fresh water, not seawater.

The island rises from the bottom of the sea, and at first there was little fresh water on the island, and the people on the island had to rely on the construction of several cisterns to store rainwater to survive.

Later, the Poseidon Church felt that since the island was given by the god of the sea, a temple should be built to worship the god of the sea, so the Poseidon Church bought a large piece of land at that time, and then spent a huge amount of money to transport stones from the mainland of the Kingdom of England, and it took five years to build this temple.

On the second day after the statue was placed in the temple, the chief priest who had been assigned to the temple said that he had received an oracle from the god of the sea at night to build fifteen fountains on the square in front of the temple.

At that time, almost everyone thought that the priest was crazy, because everyone knew that there was a shortage of water here, and even if a fountain was built, it would not be possible for water to spew out.

In addition, there are some people who think that the chief priest is deliberately doing something shocking to attract the attention of the Poseidon Church headquarters, so that the people at the headquarters think that he is very religious and can be transferred back, because being assigned to this isolated island with few believers to serve as the chief priest of the temple is undoubtedly equivalent to being assigned.

However, when the fifteen fountains were built, and everyone waited to see the joke of the chief priest, there was no aqueduct at all, and the fountain that was not built at the spring was constantly leaving out Juanjuan spring water, and it was sweet fresh water.

At that time, everyone was stunned by this scene, and soon someone thought of what the chief priest said about building a fountain, and for a while everyone thought it was a miracle and became the most faithful believer, and this temple also became one of the holy places of the Poseidon Church for this reason, as for the priest who got the oracle at that time, after returning to the Holy See of the Poseidon Church, he was reused, and his status continued to rise, and finally became the Pope of the Poseidon Church.

The Ice Queen will dock overnight in Tinstus and wait until early tomorrow morning before continuing its voyage, sailing at sea for at least five days to reach the waters of the Pearl Island Chain.

During this period of docking, the passengers on the ship naturally inevitably have to go to the Poseidon Temple in the center of the island to make sacrifices, whether they are believers in the sea or not, they will more or less have a reverence for the Poseidon and pray for the protection of the Poseid.

Leo has always been respectful of places like temples, he doesn't know the condition of his body, but he also knows that his body seems to be able to arouse the curiosity of the gods of the world of Veron, so he has never been to any religious places when he was in Port Set.

However, this time he became interested in this Poseidon Temple, not only because the island was so bizarre, but also because of the miraculous fountain, which made him can't help but want to understand the mysteries.

Curious, Leo and the other passengers on board arrived at the square of the temple of Tanah Lot, where almost all the people of the island had gathered at this time, some for their regular evening prayers, and some for the fountain to cool off, making the square look like a place for leisure and play, with a little religious atmosphere.

But this is only a superficial illusion, after Leo came here, he stopped on the periphery of the temple square, and did not set foot in it again, because the whole square was shrouded in a strange force field, this force field Leo had felt on the hull of the miracle star before, and although he did not feel any danger from the force field, he had an instinctive disgust and repulsion.

"Divine imprints?" Leo examined his situation carefully, and found that the reason for his disgust was all because of the divine imprints on his body.

It's just that because it was several god marks that made Leo feel disgusted at the same time, Leo couldn't tell which god marks were disgusted by the force field of the Poseidon Temple through reverse deduction for a while.

Although the strong antipathy in his heart made Leo not want to get close to the force field around the temple, this disgust did not come from Leo himself, and he did not sense any danger, so he still forcibly suppressed this disgust and stepped into the square.

Just as Leo entered this strange temple force field, the entire force field fluctuated very slightly. And this fluctuation is not abnormal on the ground, but in the ocean it is a different look, an invisible energy fluctuation spreads along the sea water into the distance, and it is pointed out that those strange sea gods are all alarmed, as if they have encountered something terrifying, and they are scurrying around.

The wave eventually reached the bottom of an abyss, a bottom that no living creature could reach, where no life existed, and where a large amount of poisonous undersea volcanic dust covered the place, where only the most tenacious protocratic creatures could survive.

However, in a volcano under the sea that is constantly tumbling lava, there is a huge figure lying quietly in it, the lava under him can not bring him any harm at all, but this figure will take the initiative to pierce a tentacle into the volcanic crack when a volcanic crack appears, and then as if sucking something, a blood-red light hovers up in the tentacle and submerges into the huge body.

The huge body seemed to be sleeping, and all movements, including sucking the lava energy from the volcanic fissure, were just an instinctive reaction, but when the energy fluctuation from Tinstus fell on him, all the tentacles inserted into the lava to absorb the energy stopped, and even the entire volcanic group and ocean currents under the sea were fixed by an invisible force.

But the situation soon passed, and everything returned to its original state, and the huge figure fell into that deep sleep again, showing no sign of awakening

Leo, who was in the Temple of Tanah Lot in Tinstus, didn't know that when he broke into the temple's force field, he had alarmed an unknown being in the deep sea, and his mind was now focused on the dozen or so fountains around him.

Although the unknown force field around him affected Leo's spiritual network, the effect was not large, and he was still able to easily penetrate the spiritual network into the foundation of these fountains.

It didn't take long for Leo to discover the reason why these fountains were able to gush out of the springs, not at all the miracles claimed by the Poseidon Church, but just a set of wizarding artifacts made up of Turing roots.

The main body of this wizard's curiosity is in the middle of the fifteen fountains, and under each fountain is a secondary body, which is connected to each other to form a Turing magic circle, whose function is to collect moisture in the air and transform it into fresh water. Judging from the current situation, there must be fifteen or more such wizarding artifacts in the waters around Tinstus, thus forming a water storage magic array covering the entire island and its surrounding seas.

Although it was different from the miracle he thought, Leo was still amazed by the size of this water storage magic array, and the arrangement of this water storage magic array was very simple, and the materials required were not very rare, with the materials and abilities that Leo now had at hand, he could also arrange a small water storage magic array.

This simple water storage magic circle is very useful for Leo's future trips, he will definitely need fresh water to sail on the sea, although he may not necessarily encounter shipwrecks or something, but it is always good to be prepared, and after arriving on the Minsk mainland, he will definitely need to go to the Guga Desert, where water becomes more precious, and having a Turing magic circle that constantly provides him with enough water can make the future trip more convenient and less dangerous.

After harvesting the water storage magic array, Leo was about to continue to look inside the temple, but the sudden sense of crisis instantly formed an impact in his mind, and this time the sense of crisis was not because of the imprint of the gods, but because of his instinct.

And the hairs on his body also stood up in this lesson. It was as if the temple contained a fierce beast that could devour people at any moment, and when he got close to the temple, it would rush out and bite him to death.

Fortunately, Leo's will as a ninth-level psionic was not affected too much, and he quickly got rid of that suffocating sense of crisis, and then turned around and left the square without hesitation, away from the temple, and returned to the ship.
