Chapter 708: Substituting One Thing for Another

When he first boarded the Yunluo, Angel noticed the figurehead. However, he did not look at it carefully at that time. Later, he stayed in the house for more than half a month. This was the first time he was so close to the figurehead.

Compared with the peaceful and quiet prayer girl on the Bauhinia, the figurehead of the Yunluo was more evil and ostentatious.

The beautiful siren with snake hair looked like the figurehead that pirate ships like to use.

While Angel was paying attention to the figurehead, Helen was still asking about Nausicaa: "Excuse me, sir, is Lord Asberu in Fan Continent now?"

Helen's tone was full of respect and yearning.

Angel's eyes were still on the figurehead, and he said casually: "She has some things to deal with. Maybe she is still in Fan Continent, or she just found a country and hid."

Hearing Angel's words, Helen wondered whether she should continue to ask about Nausicaa. She turned her head hesitantly, but found that Angel was looking at the figurehead curiously.

"Your Excellency is interested in Medosa?"

"Medosa?"

"That's the name of this snake-haired sea monster. Legend has it that she lives in the Devil's Sea and likes to feed on human brains. Anyone who looks directly into her eyes will turn into stone." Helen said, "Because of her ferocity, many ships like to use her image as a bow statue to deter sea monsters."

"But I don't think it's useful. Sea monsters will come anyway." Helen shook her head, "Besides, the story of the snake-haired sea monster Medosa is just an unfounded legend. Anyway, my colleagues at Baibei Shipping Company, including myself, have never seen her."

"According to what you said, if Medosa is so ferocious, everyone who sees her will turn into stone, so the news will naturally not spread." Angel casually added, "But I'm not interested in this sea monster. What I'm interested in is..."

"Huh?" Helen looked over curiously.

Angel didn't continue talking, but quietly looked at the palm of the Medosa statue. She was holding a conch with a light purple gem on the top of the conch.

When Angel first boarded the ship, he felt that there was a faint nightmare aura around the conch. He thought that the gem was the same as the gem on the forehead of the praying girl on the Bauhinia, which was the nightmare stone.

Later, Roman did confirm this.

But now when Angel looked at it again, he found that the nightmare aura around the conch had become lighter, so thin that it was almost non-existent.

Is the nightmare aura restrained? Although Angel himself did not have the nightmare stone, he was familiar with the characteristics of the nightmare stone. Once the nightmare stone was used, the aura could no longer be restrained.

Perhaps the nightmare power of the nightmare stone was not enough?

Regardless of which speculation it was, it was an obvious fact that the nightmare stone had changed.

Angel closed his eyes quietly. About a minute later, he opened his eyes, and a faint light flowed out of his pupils.

At the same time, in the field of vision that others could not see, countless information symbols floated from the statue of the snake-haired sea monster Medusa not far away. These information symbols gathered quickly and finally fell into the "server" built in Angel's thinking space.

After a while, Angel's brows gradually frowned.

"My lord, what are you looking at? Is it the nightmare stone on the conch?" Helen's voice suddenly came into Angel's ears.

"You also know the nightmare stone?"

"Yes, when you encounter a powerful and invincible sea beast, the nightmare stone will be opened. But the sea is very vast, and we have been on the sea for so many years, the probability of opening this nightmare stone is very low. As far as I know, the Yunluo seems to have been opened once ten years ago to avoid a giant emperor squid."

"It was activated once ten years ago, and it has never been activated again?"

"That's right."

Angel suddenly laughed: "Maybe it won't be activated in the future."

Helen didn't know what Angel meant, and looked confused.

"Has anyone touched this nightmare stone recently?" Angel asked.

Helen hesitated for a moment: "No one should have moved."

"In the past month, has anyone other than Roman and I boarded the Yunluo?"

Helen still shook her head, "No."

"Oh." Angel nodded in understanding, squinting at the nightmare aura blown away by the wind: "Go back, the sea breeze is too cold, it's not good to get sick."

After that, Angel turned around and walked towards the cabin.

Helen looked at the bow in confusion. She didn't know what Angel meant, but she also knew that she was not qualified to ask Angel, so she simply shook her head and walked into the room.

After separating from Helen, Angel returned to his room expressionlessly.

As soon as he returned to his room, he heard the sound of cloth shaking when a strong wind blew up his robe from the window.

Angel came to the balcony, but saw a figure falling on the bow. At the same time, the man turned his head to look at Angel, it was Roman.

Roman's eyes were dim, but the middle-aged man that Angell transformed into waved lazily at Roman with his signature depressed and lazy expression.

Roman's mental tentacles touched the nightmare stone of the figurehead, and confirmed that no one had moved it, and the big stone in his heart was slightly relieved.

At the same time, the two looked at each other for more than ten seconds.

Roman used lip language to whisper a few words, then flew back to the fourth floor and disappeared.

Angell remembered the lip language and imitated it funny: "Mind your own business?"

It seemed that Roman himself was not only suspicious and ill, but also quite cautious... He and Helen stood on the side of the ship chatting for a while. They were at least ten meters away from the bow of the ship, and the other party was about to come down immediately to confirm.

It's said to be cautious, but in fact it's more of a guilty conscience.

Because Angel has not forgotten that the result he just identified using the Eye of Narda, what Medosa held in her hand was not a nightmare stone at all, but a "psychedelic gem".

Psychedelic gems are non-advanced materials with some illusory functions.

Compared to something as precious as the Nightmare Stone, it is simply incomparable.

Since Helen once said that the Yunluo activated the Nightmare Stone ten years ago, it means that at least Medosa had a Nightmare Stone in her hand. Moreover, according to Angel's own judgment, the faint remnant of nightmare aura is enough to show that the nightmare stone was replaced with a psychedelic gemstone within a month.

Angel didn't dare to confirm who changed it at first, even though Helen had said that only he and Roman had boarded the ship, but there was always a slight margin for error. Maybe when the Yunluo was parked in the port, a transcendent person secretly visited at night. Therefore, he just doubted whether Roman did it.

But now I see Roman nervously running to check, coupled with an inexplicable warning.

There is no doubt that Roman committed theft.

As a guest, Angel didn't want to expose Roman. In the middle of nowhere, Roman, as the top commander of the Yunluo, would be of no use even if he exposed him.

Angel was suddenly curious. Since Roman dared to do this, had he thought about how to deal with the aftermath?

It doesn't matter to mortals, if someone from Machinery City investigates it, how should he respond?

Suddenly, Angel became a little worried about the prospects of the Yunluo.

In the next few days, the Yunluo sailed forward steadily. Although there were occasional bumps, under the calm command of the two captains, the ship sailed smoothly and calmly.

However, what is more puzzling is that Angel has noticed in the past few days that the Yunluo has never encountered a sea monster.

Only the climate is relatively bad, and the sea beasts seem to have disappeared.

But Angel's confusion didn't last long when suddenly there were shouts outside: "There are sea beasts!"

Angel was immersing his mental power in the bracelet and discussing the tailoring and style of clothes with Ayato Nami. Although there are problems with Nano’s color and aesthetics, his basic hard skills as a tailor craftsman are still very solid.

As soon as he heard the shouting outside, Angel immediately withdrew his mental power, stood up and looked outside.

At the end of the ocean, there was a huge sea beast that looked like a python, its body looming on the surface of the sea, and it was speeding towards the Yunluo.

Angel wasn't too sure about the name of this sea snake, but the energy fluctuations it emitted indicated its level: peak apprentice.

Angel stood on the balcony and watched the python swim over from a distance.

But he didn't take action. Since Roman wanted the resources of these sea beasts so much, he might as well let him deal with them.

But when the python was less than a kilometer away from the Yunluo, Roman still didn't make any move.

The mortals on the deck have looked back frequently, with doubts and fear in their eyes.

Vice Captain Helen was also on the deck directing personnel dispatch. At the same time, she glanced upward from the corner of her eye. She saw Roman on the balcony on the fourth floor and Pat on the third floor.

However, she knew something fishy, ​​so she mainly looked at Roman and wondered why Roman hadn't made any move yet.

But Roman's face was expressionless, looking into the distance indifferently, with a slight sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Helen looked at that smile and suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

Her eyes immediately turned to Angel, with pleading and prayer in her eyes.

Angel naturally noticed Helen's eyes, but he still didn't take action until he was sure of Roman's attitude. I just have some doubts in my heart. Could it be that Helen just let it go because she had a grudge against the sea beast last time?

Seeing the sea snake getting closer and closer, its vicious fangs and bloody mouth have opened... The sailors on the ship have screamed in fear.

"Mr. Roman, why didn't you take action?" Angel asked.

After a while, Roman's voice reached the ears of everyone present: "The last time I dealt with the sea beast, I suffered a slight illness. I have not recovered yet. This sea snake may be difficult to deal with. It is better for the captain to change the route and deviate from its path." track."

After listening to Helen's words, Angel thought to himself: It is indeed so.

His injury has not healed? The surging energy fluctuations can deceive ordinary people, but how can they hide it from extraordinary beings.

And how could it be too late to deviate from the course now? His attitude was completely disregarding the lives of mortals on the ship, and the ship might even be destroyed. Is this guy crazy? Or is he already planning to give up on these mortals after secretly exchanging the Nightmare Stone?

"Oh, it seems it's too late to change the route. It's okay. It doesn't matter that I was injured. Isn't there an adult on board?"

Roman's eyes squinted at Angel on the terrace below.
