Chapter 234: The New World at Hand
At the time of this logbook, Kraskin was clearly a normal person.
The writing is very coherent and clear.
"Silver Age, December 25, 1471.
Today happens to be the Day of the Son's Descent, but the sailors have no gifts, no sweets, and no home.
There also seems to be no mercy of the Creator either.
The Circus has been roaming this dangerous place for three months since it entered the 'Serpent of the World: Celestial Circulation'.
Whether it is supplies, or the morale and health of the crew, they have reached the limit.
Thankfully, the reserve of rum with orange juice was sufficient, so that they would not be subjected to massive non-combat attrition due to the 'Curse of Bad Blood'.
I think that this disease, which even the high-order transcendents cannot resist, must be a curse of the sea on seafarers!
As long as you don't land for two months in a row, there is a high probability of being cursed, it's really terrible, the sea is really not the home of humans.
If I hadn't spent a fortune to build a Bow Statue Funny Clown for the Circus that could sail through the waves, I wouldn't have imagined what a treacherous situation would have been in the windless zone.
I often wonder if it would be possible to circumnavigate the whole world if I let go of the sailboat and let it go all the way along the celestial circulation in a windless zone.
If he can be the first to achieve this feat, he will definitely become a decisive figure in the entire history of human navigation.
The legend obtained from this does not know how much power bonus can be obtained by the successful person.
It's a pity that now I think these things are still a little too early, without the strength of the fourth-order hero, and a large number of heroic troops who act as escorts for the guards, it is impossible to come back alive.
The navigator seems to have made some new discoveries, and I'm going to have to check it out. ”
"Silver Age, December 26, 1471.
Yesterday we found a wrecked expedition ship under the command of the Barbary pirates.
I suspect that the sea monster that powered the ship had an accident and killed an entire shipload at sea, and I held a pirate funeral for them, according to tradition.
By the way, we seemed to be singing "The Call of Valhalla" by the Wanmin at the time, and anyway, these Barbary pirates are not qualified to pick and choose.
None of this matter matters, the most important thing is that we found a broken nautical chart from the captain's room!
I am pretty sure that this is not an unexplored chart, but a part of a complete chart that has been deliberately divided.
One of the places marked in it called 'Bridgehead' has penetrated deep into the absolute windless zone, and I feel compelled to go there. ”
This text made Byron and Violet excited.
When the two people who were together with their heads turned the next page with anticipation, their brains suddenly felt dizzy.
A salty tidal smell like the sea came to my face.
The colorful text, blurred by the dried water stains, seems to be a child's graffiti, mixed with the babbling of a madman.
A casual glance at it can make people feel intense physical discomfort.
Relying on the insight of the [Logbook] in Byron's right eye, he barely recognized the main content above:
"The Oblivion of the Snail (crossed out) of the Silver Age, January 8, 1472.
Quack, we searched for half a month according to the nautical chart, and just as we were about to give up, an inexplicable ocean current took us to our destination.
That must be the guidance of the great being in my ears.
It is a human relic located on an isolated island.
Yes, although it was damp and cold, half of the buildings were soaked in water, and there were huge calcified scales everywhere (crossed out), but that must have belonged to humans.
I know it's all normal, it's very normal, and that's how human beings should live.
My gut tells me that this is probably not far from the new world that everyone is looking for.
However, in such an indigenous ruin, which has long been abandoned, how can there be ancient artifacts that are clearly from the Old World? And what about an immeasurable [Golden Ghost Card]?
Could it be that the first colonists to arrive in the New World were not us, but a group of ancients hundreds of years ago?
I'm going to have to unlock this secret.
Also, congratulations, the clown has got a new body, and although it doesn't belong to me now, it will eventually belong to me, and I can finally get out of this wet ghost place, hee hee (cross out, cross out, cross it all out)"
The tone of the last paragraph suddenly changed, as if it had suddenly changed to another person.
Byron suspected that from that time on, Kraskin had been tainted by that terrifying Cursed Spirit.
As for the quest for a place called the Bridgehead, there is a series of oddities
Turning his head to look at the loot on the ground.
The basket is the trophy of the clown pirates after they last escaped death from the "celestial circulation".
A large number of pottery vessels, apparently from the indigenous style, were mixed with a heavily corroded iron pot of the Old World style.
Among the obsidian weapons, there is even a very old Broken Bayman battle axe.
It's as bizarre as finding a bunch of martyrs from other continents in a thousand-year-old tomb that has never been opened.
These things are by no means from the recent exploration of the celestial circulation.
Rather, it is clear that there is a group of people from the Old Continent who have lived in that place for a long time.
The name "Serpent of the World: Celestial Circulation" comes from the ancient legend of the Bay People (Chapter 215).
It is reasonable to speculate that hundreds of years before the beginning of the Age of Discovery, a group of pirate adventurers among the bayfolk visited here.
The journal came to an abrupt end on 8 January, and was not updated again, but after turning another page, a simple folded chart fell out.
Violet quickly grabbed it in her hand, and when she saw the mark on it, her pupils suddenly shrank into pintips:
"This is my father's Leviathan insignia!"
Nautical charts are drawn in the same way, with constant lines drawn from wind-directed roses or compass roses, important waypoints along the coast, and so on.
But on the north side of the wind rose or compass rose, there is usually a unique decorative design, such as irises, gorse, etc., which is used to represent the identity of the chartmaker.
As a pirate king, the [Whale Hunter] has drawn many charts in his life, and his emblem is the [Rift Whale] Leviathan.
That's what the Whale Hunter wants to hunt.
The girl's body trembled slightly:
"This is supposed to be a replica that fell into the hands of the Bone-Eating Clown after being pirated by Barbary Pirates.
Although I don't know why it's mutilated.
But no one was able to forcibly take the charts from his father, perhaps it had something to do with the last thing his father had seen with another pirate king, the Throne of the Ocean. ”
Byron stroked the girl's back, soothing her emotions.
But he agreed with what she said.
This somewhat overly sketchy nautical chart, although some parts are difficult to discern.
But the Circus made up part of it with the help of a very "coincidental" current.
You know, the clown's sense of balance is unmatched, and his body is like a human spinner.
By tucking them blindfolded into an airtight carriage, for example, they can easily orient themselves through their delicate balance changes.
Even if they don't go to the Oceanic Throne, they will be able to use this nautical chart to reach the ruin, which is most likely located on the edge of the New World.
Since the nautical charts are from Jack Harold.
Then this pirate king [Whale Hunter] has a high probability of taking the same route!
"However, the third-order clown went crazy after going once.
It shows that there are some great secrets and dangers hidden there.
This time, it's best to get a clue from [Bluehair]'s mouth about the meeting between the two kings, and then continue to explore when we are ready. ”
For Kraskin, it may be a matter of continuing to delve into the celestial circulation, discovering the secrets of the Vanfolk pioneers for themselves.
But for the descendants of the Bay people like Byron and Violet, who are pursuing the prophecy of revival, it is equivalent to completing another piece of the puzzle.
Prophecy from Prophecy, Kingship, and God of the Wild Hunt:
"During the Imperial Age, the Wanfolk were still chasing wild deer in the forests of the Eternal Night Peninsula, and in a few hundred years, they would chase the entire Silver Continent.
Conquered the continent by force, but conquered by pagan beliefs, the glory of the people of Northland sank into the deepest part of the ocean.
But one day it will be reawakened by blood and flames!
My right eye will witness everything. ”
The first two-thirds have already been realized.
Many believe that the last third will never be an exception.
It was from "Valhalla Valhalla" that [Whale Hunter] Jack Harold got a clue from "Valhalla", so he went to sea to explore the secret, and finally disappeared in the ocean.
So far, his whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are uncertain.
The Lancaster family was plagued by pond fish and exterminated by the White Rose, who was supported by the church.
The people of Northland Bay, who adhered to the tradition of Iron Anchor Bay, were also suppressed by the church, and the country was almost destroyed
Byron and Violet, the two founders of the North Sea Empire and the descendants of the [Blue Dragon King] Reinhardt, also changed their fate.
The secret behind the prophecy meant a lot to both of them.
Immediately, the [Hidden: Prophecy, Kingship, and Hunting God's Prophecy of Racial Revival, Historical Influence 69] also jumped from 22% to 28%.
At this moment, the sound of wings flapping was heard in the distance.
But it was the fat macaw Thomas's first mate, who flew slowly for a long time before catching up with them.
Before it fell, he began to shout:
"Oh, the elegant artists I miss in my heart, I have finally caught up with you, the elegant artistic atmosphere of the two of them is really amazing"
The words of compliments suddenly stuck.
It looked down and saw the tragic scene of a massive murder and cremation.
A fire of dozens of clowns burned brightly, and ashes were scattered all over the nearby chocolate, cake, and cookie huts.
There were still blood stains on their faces, and they didn't have time to wipe them off, and slowly turned their heads towards it.
The same azure eyes shimmered with a ghostly light, as if reflecting blood, flames, mountains of corpses, and a sea of blood.
