Chapter 772: The Sunken Ship at the Bottom of the Lake

The water was stagnant and full of stench. When the fluorite fell, the black flocs floating in the water could be clearly seen.

Soon, the fluorite touched the bottom.

The huge shadow at the bottom of the lake also revealed its true face.

"Is this... a ship?" The tattered canvas stuck to the wooden pillars and sank in the water. The bare mast, hanging with black sediment, and the vaguely visible cabin all showed that this was a sunken ship.

Shipwrecks are not uncommon, but it is strange to sink at the bottom of this lake.

The area of ​​this lake is not small, but Angel had already circled it and did not find any outlet to the sea. There is no tributary connecting to the sea outside. How did this ship sink? Or, how did this ship reach this lake?

There will never be a shipbuilder who inexplicably repairs a ship by the lake, and then finds that he can't get out after repairing the ship, and finally sinks it.

This possibility, Angel just thinks that he is stupid.

No shipbuilder would go to a dead lake to repair a ship, and from the glimpse just now, this ship should be a cargo ship. The journey of a cargo ship is the boundless ocean, and it is impossible to live in this small lake.

So how did this ship come from?

Angel decided to go down to the lake to explore.

The purification force field was turned on, shielding the surrounding filth. Angel wandered around the bottom of the lake and confirmed that there was no so-called secret passage in the lake, and then returned to the shipwreck.

The location of the shipwreck happened to be in the center of the lake. When looking down from the lake, the ship seemed very large. But when it was really close to the bottom of the water, the size of the ship was not as big as imagined, and it was even smaller than the Yunluo, probably about the same as the Lingshan.

The ship was indeed a cargo ship, but Angel could not judge which era it was. If Helen or Alvin were here, they would probably be able to give an answer.

Angel went into the cabin to explore, and there were smelly black floating fluff everywhere. Within the range of the fluorite light, nothing that could prove the identity of the ship was found.

When Angell came to the bottom cabin, he found that the centerline longitudinal beam of the keel was broken, and broken wood was floating in the water.

Judging from the cracks, it seems that the longitudinal beam was broken due to a strong impact.

But the scar was on the bottom of the ship. Such a strong impact could be caused by almost nothing except a giant sea beast. But there are no sea beasts in this lake, not even living creatures.

So how did the crack in the bottom of the ship come from?

Except for the remains, Angell could not find anything valuable on the ship. Even the cargo on the ship was empty, and there was nothing in the captain's room.

Angell had to give up and returned to the lake.

Putting aside the origin of this ship, there are currently two doubts about this ship. Why did it sink to the bottom of the dead lake with no way out? And who caused the keel of the bottom of the ship to break?

There are no sea beasts in the lake, so where does the impact from bottom to top come from?

"It can't be falling from the sky, right?" Angell muttered, and suddenly he was stunned.

A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, as if he had caught some clues.

He hung in the air silently, seemingly motionless on the surface, but in his brain, the box of memory was quickly flipping through past memories, and then combining them with what he saw after entering this area.

"Why can't it fall from the sky? The Lingshan can go from here to the fog area, and then disappear from the fog area and return here, doesn't it explain some problems?" Angel opened his mind and guessed the possible facts here.

Angel raised his head and looked at the dark sky.

Perhaps the space in this strange area is extremely unstable, and ships fall into it from time to time. And one day, a crack in the space appeared above the lake, and the ship fell directly from a high altitude.

Then the violent impact broke the longitudinal beam at the bottom of the ship, causing the ship to sink.

"Falling from the sky can explain why the cargo ship appeared in a lake without tributaries. It can also explain why there is a break at the bottom of the ship."

Angel's eyes wandered to the iron pot on the bracket on the shore, and he imagined a picture. Perhaps when the ship fell, not all the people inside died. Some people survived by chance, swam to the shore, and built a stove.

"But even if some people survived, they couldn't find food in this dead place. In the end, they must have died." Angel thought to himself, maybe the bodies of those who survived were nearby.

There was no light, no food, and even the water source was dirty. They must have been injured when they fell, and they couldn't run far.

Sure enough, Toby brought back two skeletons from a few hundred meters away.

It is worth mentioning that Angel found an iron box necklace on the neck of a skeleton. He had seen some sailors wearing the same iron box necklace on the Yunluo.

The sailors themselves knew that they had to endure the fate of being in danger when they made a living on the sea. Therefore, they left a suicide note when they set sail, which was necessary.

And this iron box necklace is actually similar to a suicide note. The iron box usually contains the sailor's personal information and precious items. The sailors hoped that if their bodies were fortunate enough to be found, the finder would be able to identify their identities through the things in the iron box, and then send their bodies back home.

The precious items in the iron box were the trading materials they prepared for the finder.

If the finder takes away the precious items, it means he has accepted the promise, but if he only takes the items and does nothing, he will suffer the curse and revenge of the deceased. Of course, this is just a legend and has no basis.

Angel couldn't find any clues about the boat at the bottom of the lake. He thought about it, maybe he could find some clues in the iron box necklace.

The iron box is not big, probably about one-third of the size of an adult's palm. The iron sheet outside has begun to decay, revealing rust-red mottled marks.

The iron box was opened, releasing a trail of dust. After the dust settled, the contents of the box appeared in front of Angel.

A chipped ruby ​​ring, and a piece of parchment folded to a small size.

The ring is a mortal thing, probably just the money to buy the bones and return them to their hometown.

Angel opened the parchment and wanted to see who this person was and whether he had anything to do with the sunken ship.

At the top of the parchment, the identity of the owner of the skeleton was recorded. His name was Goblin Flando, and his hometown was the Red Maple Kingdom in the Magic Eaves Corridor...

The handwriting of the personal information is very neat, probably written before setting sail. But below the personal information, it was written in an extremely sloppy manner. It should have been hurriedly confessed before his death. It can be seen that Gebrin's mood was not calm at the time of recording.

When Angel read all the content, his expression flashed with confusion.

His guess was indeed correct.

The sunken ship was named Yefu. It was originally a cargo ship bound for the mainland of Ferland from the Magic Canopy Corridor. When passing through the Gear Abyss, it suddenly fell into fog. Before they could react, it fell from the sky and hit this dead lake. among. Ships crash and people die. Gebrin survived by luck, but lacked water and water, so he managed to survive here for a while. After writing these words, he slept here forever along with the Night Fu.

In addition to this information, Angel also got two additional pieces of information from the leather paper.

The first is time. The time when the Ye Fu crashed into this lake was three hundred years ago, which is actually not that long. Secondly, Gebring was in the last row and wrote a sentence in a doubtful tone:

"Am I dazzled? Why did I see a shadow? His dress is so similar to the legendary King of Violence?"

The legendary violent king?

If this is not a hallucination that Goblin had before his death, does it mean that there is another person here?

Angel suddenly remembered the flash of black shadow he saw not long ago. Could that shadow be the so-called King of Violence?

If it is true, then the other party has lived for hundreds of years.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Angel was very energetic and could not relax at all in this strange place.

He stuffed the parchment and ring back into the iron box and put them back on the skeleton's neck. He had no intention of taking Goblin's skeleton back to his hometown. If the Magic Eaves Corridor is a place he can go to, it's okay for him to do good deeds. Unfortunately, the Magic Eaves Corridor is completely opposite to the Apocalypse Continent where he wants to go.

Angel was preparing to leave the lake. The pressure from the True Knowledge Wizard made him feel like he was carrying a mountain. He must find Lucas' treasure as soon as possible and then leave here.

Taking Toby with him, Angel continued to fly downward.

It didn't take long for them to leave the mountainous area, and Angel also vaguely felt the other coast of the island. Because the fishy smell carried by the wind became stronger, which meant that they were not far from the sea.

Angel also wandered around this area, but there was no trace of human beings except dead trees.

But when Angel emerged from a withered palm forest, his expression suddenly froze.

In front of him was the coast, but it was much more lively than the coast behind the cliff where the Ling Fan ran aground. Because just within Angel's sight, he saw countless... ships!

There are all kinds of ships, including expedition ships, icebreakers, cargo ships, cruise ships, sailing ships, pirate ships... almost everything you want, but these ships are all filled with an outdated atmosphere, almost exactly the same as the Ling Fan, and they all died here.

There is also the light of fluorite on some ships, which makes this coast look not too bleak.

But the light of these fluorite, combined with the lifeless ships, makes people feel uneasy. Just like in a dark mountain forest, it's fine if you can't see anything, but now a pile of phosphorus fire suddenly rises, and the feeling of horror will be even more amplified.

"This is completely the grave of the ship." Angel whispered to himself.

If the Yefu fell into this strange place of death because of the instability of space. What about the boats here? Is it also because space is unstable? But even if it is unstable, it should be like the Night Fu and the Ling Fan, falling in various areas, instead of all piled up on this coast?

Moreover, Angel flew in a straight line from the other end of the island where the Ling Fan was located to this end; in the process, he did not find any place where he could hide the treasure. You can’t say that this ship grave is Lucas’s treasure, right?

Angel was completely confused.

There are more and more doubts surrounding this strange island.
