As Jesse said before, the Flying Fish sailed very fast, and it didn't take long for him to stand on the deck and no longer be able to see the form of Pattishen Island lying in the night behind him, Jesse wiped the sweat from his face and walked out of the captain's room, saw Fisher still leaning on the deck, and said to him,

"Although the captain's room has been turned over by them, fortunately the nautical charts are still there, and it will not be a problem to take you to the north. And I just checked the coal in the cabin, and it's a good thing the gangsters didn't take it away, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten far and would have dropped anchor in the middle of the sea. ”

"That's good."

Fisher nodded at him in response, I don't know why, in Jesse's eyes, the concubine of the Iceberg Queen was a little more mysterious at this time, the picture of him using the spinner to steal the key back was still very shocking, it seems that this handsome young man from Nari is a magician, and he doesn't know how to get involved with the Iceberg Queen from the Satinia country.

Jesse's eyes rolled and he glanced cautiously at Emhart on Fisher's shoulder, and then suddenly remembered something,

"By the way, Mr. Fisher, don't you want to show your book friend the collection of books on the ship, which are in my captain's room, and want to come and see them?"

Before Fisher could respond, Emhart on his shoulder couldn't wait to start hitting his gentleman's hat with his body, and Fisher smiled helplessly and motioned for Jesse to lead the way.

No one else had been on the Exocet for too long, and the gangsters who had detained it wouldn't be kind enough to clean it, so the visible area was covered in a very thick layer of dust, and even Jesse couldn't remember how long it had been at sea.

"It's right here, it's been a long time before here, and there's nothing I can do but read all kinds of books to pass the time."

The space in the captain's room is not large, but it is already a relatively large room on a ship like the Exocet, which has been reduced by one model, and the furnishings in it are no different from the ordinary captain's room, with charts, clothes, various reports and engine control switches.

The only thing that was different from the other captains was the two large bookshelves in front of the wall on one side of the room, which were filled with all kinds of books, mostly from Nari, and of course many from the Southern Continent.

While introducing Fisher, Jesse's eyes revealed a complex color, as if he had met an old friend who had been reunited for a long time, and his heart was mixed.

"I smell it, Fisher, right there!"

As soon as Emhart came in, he seemed to smell something delicious, only to see him smack his lips and his eyes fixed on somewhere on the shelf.

"Haha, the books here can be taken at will, I'm going to go to the cabin below to see if there is anything wrong after so long, after all, the Flying Fish is still a wooden ship, if a hole is broken or a screw falls off, it may cause a big problem"

"I understand, I'll come back to you when I'm done reading it later."

"It's okay, I don't know if the lights below are bad or not, it's still quite dark, Mr. Fisher can stay on the deck and come back to you after I check the situation below. It won't be long. ”

Fisher glanced at him, nodded his head in agreement without much thought,

"Alright, then trouble Captain Jesse, we'll wait for you here."

"No problem."

Jesse touched the back of his head, and then immediately ran in the direction of the deck, while Fisher, who was in the captain's room, watched his back farther and farther away, silently closing the door of the room to cut off the inside and outside.

Emhart flew towards the corner of the bookshelf the moment Jesse left, and Fisher only glanced at the books on the shelf, and after finding no useful clues, he walked behind the captain's desk and took a closer look at the contents behind it.

I saw that the office desktop was covered with dust, but there was nothing special to pay attention to, only ordinary items such as ashtrays and lamps.

"Fisher, look, there's a dark compartment here at the back of the bookshelf, and the thing I want to see is inside."

Just as Fisher looked around and the harvest was fruitless, Emhart, who was dangling in front of the bookshelf, suddenly noticed something, and hurriedly turned around and shouted at him.

Fisher walked in front of the bookshelf, but saw a square recess in the corner near the innermost part of the bookshelf, which was covered by many books.

I saw a heavy notebook in the small space inside, and on it there were two or three items with a metallic luster, namely a pocket watch, an old-fashioned flintlock musket, and a few gold bars side by side.

Fisher raised an eyebrow and took out all the contents, first looking at the book that Emhardt cared about the most, but his expression became strange at the first glance of the title of the book, because the title of the book was "Flying Fish Logbook".

The logbook is something that every captain is familiar with, and unlike the current standard logbook used to deal with company inspections and audits, the logbook in the early days of development was mostly very private, recording the people and events they met along the way.

Fisher remembers that when the Godlin Royal Museum was established, Blake gave his logbook to the Godlin royal family, and the Godlin royal family kept it as an epoch-making treasure.

But in any case, Emhart was very interested in a captain's logbook, how did it feel a little out of character, could it be that there was some very esoteric secret recorded in it?

"No, it's not this journal, it's what's inside! There's a piece of paper in the book, and that's what I'm going to read. ”

Hearing Emhardt's request, Fisher reluctantly opened the captain's journal, and sure enough, on the first title page, he saw a parchment that had been folded many times, and the parchment was very simple, giving the illusion that it had become extremely fragile because of the heavy history.

"This is it! Fisher! That's it, I've already smelled this thing, hurry up, open it, let's read it together. ”

Fisher stretched out his hand and opened the parchment, revealing the ghost-like characters inside, and between the words were all sorts of strange symbols drawn with the blood of unknown animals.

Fisher's scalp tingled when he saw the strange symbol, but when he saw the jewel-like crown in the center of the parchment, he suddenly felt very familiar.

Yes, Fisher felt as if he had seen the symbol somewhere.

"It's . The text of the Southern Continent? ”

"Yes, it's not right. The most widely circulated script in the Southern Continent is the Faymabaha Longting script, which is inextricably linked to the previous reign of the Dragon Court, but the text on it is not the Faymabaha Longting script, but the [Ancient Human Script], that is, the text on it is the human script, and the human script you use now is a cousin in ancient times. In ancient times, the humans of the southern continent used this script. ”

"Wait, you're saying that the humans of the Southern Continent use a language that is related to the humans of the Western Continent?"

"Yes, maybe a group of people from the Western Continent have moved to the Southern Continent?"

But the question is, it was only a few decades ago that humans first possessed such navigation technology, so how did humans pass thousands of years ago, or even nearly 10,000 years ago? By some kind of subhuman?

Speaking of which, now Fisher also suddenly remembered that Caleb Uzi, the author of the Soul Completion Manual, had also mentioned that the magic of the Dragon Court was also brought by humans, so does this really mean that there were really humans from the Western Continent who immigrated to the Southern Continent through some method at that time?

Fisher thought for a moment, then shifted his gaze to the scroll in his hand, and at this moment, he suddenly remembered where he had seen the symbol in the center of the scroll.

He had seen the symbol on the demon door behind the pair of demon sisters in the depths of the streets of St. Nari's Smuggler, and if Fisher remembered correctly, it was one of the symbols that hung right above the top.

"Oh my God, Fisher."

Just when Fisher was still thinking about the specific symbols engraved on the Demon Gate in his memory, Emhart, who was floating in mid-air, suddenly lost control of his body and fell downward after reading the content on the parchment.

"What's wrong, what's on it?"

In Fisher's palm, Emhardt seemed to be awakened with some great fear, and even the pupils of his eyes began to roll.

He opened his mouth and waited for a while before floating back in Fisher's palm, and then spoke to Fisher rather weakly,

"It records how humans in ancient times prayed to the abyss and arranged rituals to summon specific demon god pillars. Oh my God, I never thought that I would be able to see this thing after so many years when the demons' Demon God Pillars were locked in the abyss, it was really, really, so terrifying! ”

Good fellow, do you recall the painful experience of being caught and beaten by a demon in the abyss?

Fisher couldn't laugh or cry, and said to Emhart,

"Didn't you say it all, the Demon God Pillars are now locked in the abyss and can't get out, what are you afraid of?"

"No, no, no, Fisher, you take that piece of torn paper a little farther away, and I'll tell you! I've read in the demonic books before that there was a very terrible war in this world, in which almost all races were involved, but mainly the mythical ones, which I couldn't tell, fought the most fiercely. ”

Emhardt's words seemed rather hurried, and as he spoke, the pages on his body also flipped rapidly, and the golden light bursting from it showed that he was constantly absorbing all kinds of knowledge that had been recorded in his body in the past.

"The exact outcome of that war is still unknown, because the time is so early, I didn't have any stellar intelligence at that time, and I haven't seen any record of it anywhere else except in the abyss, so I only know the fate of the demon species in that war - they lost in the end."

"The demon's main body [Demon God Pillar] was liquidated by the enemy, and they were locked in the depths of the abyss and could not be moved, as was the case with the Elliog you saw before. Her overly powerful soul came to the Western Continent, where the unity of soul and body was constructed into a shell by the world, just as the Chaos Seed descended from the spirit realm to the world. That body is just a clumsy imitation of the appearance of her body, and the rank has not reached the mythical level at all, that is, around the thirteenth to fourteenth order, and her body is full of eighteenth order! ”

The more Fisher listened, the more strange his face became, so wasn't his previous relationship with Elliog some kind of soul-level communication?

"Fisher, there are a total of 72 Demon God Pillars, symbolizing the 72 Great Demons of the Mythical Rank, after that war, all the Demon God Pillars should have been locked up and locked under the abyss, but there is only one exception."

"There is a demon god who is good at using trickery to evade the reckoning of the war by using dastardly methods, hiding his true body somewhere in the world that is impossible to discover."

"And now we see this summoning parchment, the ritual on it summons the demon god whose body is not locked in the abyss! The rest of the demon gods can't respond to you now, no matter what you call him, but I can't guarantee that this demon god will not respond to you, and as far as I know, that bad guy liked to take the initiative to give human knowledge in ancient times! ”

Emhart was a little frightened, and there seemed to be a terrifying demon with a mischievous smile and a jeweled crown on his head, and his square body shook just when he remembered the figure, and he didn't even dare to pronounce the name, as if the hellish situation was still yesterday.

Fisher glanced at Emhart, who was terrified, and suddenly guessed something in his heart, he gently folded the parchment in his hand and put it back in the book, and then looked at Emhart in front of him and said,

"Let me guess, this demon who has escaped the sanctions of war must have seen her essence in the abyss, and you know her horror. She's still active in the world, that's why you're so worried about her hearing our call, right? ”

Fisher's fingers tapped on the writing, and his mind remembered what Elliog had said to himself about the demon,

"The demon god who escaped the punishment of the war is the [Lord Angel King], the demon god [Paimon]."
