Chapter 3226 The Shadow of Faraines (Twenty-three)

During the Age of Exploration, an unlucky sailor or a cultist brought the book "Water God Ketayat" on board and tested a spell in it during the voyage.

This spell brought disaster to the fleet, causing them to encounter a terrible storm and be wiped out in the disaster.

Later, a shipwreck salvage company targeted this destroyed team. After conducting a survey, they salvaged part of the hull, and among the salvage were a diary written by a crew member on the ship and this terrible book of disaster.

They regarded these things as valuable collections and sold them. They fell into the hands of some private collectors, and were later looted by the British, and the collections were loaded on the ship by the British.

Probably during World War II, someone in a fleet transporting cultural relics to the UK opened a gambling market to kill time, and the gambler Jeff could not resist the temptation and lost almost all his belongings, and may even have owed debts.

In order to deal with the creditors, he had to choose to steal the goods on the ship. Because other collections were not easy to carry and theft was too difficult, he set his sights on books and successfully stole the "Diary of Sailor Pick".

But the theft was not perfect and was soon discovered by the first mate. In order to investigate what was lost, the first mate ordered a sailor to check all the books.

The sailor found "Water God Ketayat" while flipping through the books and learned a spell from it.

Jeff was worried that the matter would be exposed, so he wanted to frame the sailor for the theft, which successfully aroused the sailor's resentment, causing him to use the spell to bring disaster. Except for him, Jeff's fleet was wiped out.

Jeff was regarded as an ominous person, and no one was willing to hire him again, until the old Siltek, who had woven a series of conspiracies, followed various clues to find the survivors of that year.

Old Siltek got the "Diary of Sailor Pick" from Jeff, and learned from this seemingly complete and true sailor's diary the so-called correct way to deal with that kind of disaster, that is, not to listen, not to see, and not to feel.

But I'm afraid this method is wrong.

Jeff obviously has a trick up his sleeve.

First of all, the team that Pike was in was wiped out, and this diary might have been salvaged, not circulated from the person himself, which means that the way he summed up to survive the disaster is very likely wrong.

There are also a lot of evidences, the most obvious of which is that the ending of the diary might be forged, someone imitated Pike's handwriting, wrote a happy ending, and misled others to be deceived.

Secondly, old Siltek only knew that Jeff had the sailor's diary, but he had no idea that the heavyweight player "Water God Ketayat" was also in his hands and was hidden by him.

Combining the above two points, it is not difficult to see that old Siltek should have been tricked by Jeff.

Old Siltek got the sailor's diary and summed up the so-called method of safely surviving the disaster from it, which became his confidence. He felt that as long as he mastered this method, he could unscrupulously summon disasters to cause trouble to others.

This also indulged his ambition, making him feel that he could use the disasters he summoned as bargaining chips to negotiate with the church. If the church wanted to know the correct way to survive the disaster, it would come to him.

The wrong method made him feel that he could be self-sufficient and profitable, so he would naturally find a way to bring disasters to gain more benefits for himself.

But in fact, this method is completely wrong. The so-called people who survived with this method are either dead or did not use this method.

Assuming that the so-called method of not feeling is wrong, how did Jeff survive?

Schiller took out "Water God Ketayat", he and Batman looked at each other, and finally said: "This book is alive."

"What do you mean?"

"Literally, there may be a cultist's soul in this book." Schiller paused and said: "The cover is also made of his skin. This book can be regarded as a complete person. Can you see anything?"

Schiller looked at Batman's expression. He could see from Batman's expression that Batman thought all this was ridiculous.

But soon, he must have seen something more absurd, and he was completely stunned.

Schiller did not urge him, but waited for him to come back to his senses. Batman sighed and said, "Arrogance tells me that this thing is very evil."

"What type of evil?"

"It can bewitch people's hearts."

Schiller figured everything out almost instantly.

He felt something was wrong before, because what happened to Jeff's family did not seem to be done by the monsters in Cthulhu Mythos. Many of them had obvious signs of being seduced. Compared with the ignorant Old Ones and the Outer Gods, all this was more like man-made.

But in the whole story, it seems that no one seduced them, but if we regard this book as a person, everything can be explained.

It was said before that there are two kinds of cultists, one kind wishes that no one would covet his knowledge, and the other kind wants to spread the filthy knowledge to the whole world. The cultists living in the book "Water God Ctayat" may be the latter.

Judging from this motive, Jeff might have been bewitched by the cultists. After he came into contact with the book on the fleet where he worked, he was bewitched by the cultists and brought disaster upon himself step by step, leading to the annihilation of the fleet.

But since he wanted to spread knowledge, he couldn't let the book sink to the bottom of the sea with the fleet. With the help of the cultists, Jeff successfully survived and brought the book back home.

During this period, he may have realized that something was wrong, so he buried the book in the corner of the cellar and put a lot of empty boxes on it.

But this kind of evil spirit is very cunning. He is very likely to have lured one of Jeff's family members to let this person put the goat feed in the boxes above his head, and he took the opportunity to contaminate the feed.

The goat went crazy after eating the feed and got lost. The whole family went out to look for it, and at this time the evil spirit took the opportunity to seduce Jeff's little daughter.

Under the instigation, the little daughter spread rumors that Jeff's family was crazy to the villagers, causing them to be driven out of the village and come to the lighthouse. In the end, they killed each other under the coercion and abuse of the clown until the whole family died.

But this cultist probably didn't expect that Jeff didn't take him with him when he left, but left the book in the cellar, and it was eventually discovered by Schiller.

The ending of the diary may also be changed by the cultists who bewitched Jeff or his family, in order to make old Siltek feel fearless and think that he has a golden ticket to avoid death, so that he can use spells to summon disasters unscrupulously.

Schiller took out the Bible again.

If nothing unexpected happens, the missing letters in this Bible should be the spell to summon the Deep Diver. Old Siltek used this spell to summon the Deep Diver and wanted to negotiate with the church by taking advantage of the situation in the village.

Please collect it_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)

Schiller and Batman exchanged ideas, and their speculations were roughly the same, but they also found something that could not be explained for the time being through the process of elimination.

For example, how could old Siltek not find out that the team that Pik was in was wiped out?

Although there was no modern Internet in the Age of Discovery, the news of the destruction of such a large fleet would definitely be recorded in history. Didn't he think of checking it when he got the diary?

In addition, the fleet that arrived inexplicably and the figures in the cabin may not be the work of old Sirtek.

Bruce and the Pale Knight found an empty house in the rich area. It has complete water and electricity facilities and a computer. The owner seems to be on vacation. They use this house as their temporary base for rest.

This house is located in the center of the entire rich area. No matter where there is movement, it can be heard at the first time, which is also convenient for them to make noise and attract the police later.

"When do we start?" asked the Pale Knight.

Bruce shook his head and said, "Don't worry, you can go to prepare the materials. I need to check something."

Bruce started the computer of the owner of this house, simply adapted to the operation, and then started searching.

"What do you want to check?" The Pale Knight asked while seeing Bruce typed the words "Spanish Royal Fleet" in the search box.

The Pale Knight immediately understood that Bruce might want to check where the three ships parked at the dock came from.

After the Pale Knight went to prepare things, Bruce has been investigating news about sailing warships.

Through inquiries, he learned that the three ships should be frigates, which are similar to security guards in a fleet, specially used to escort cargo ships carrying precious goods on ocean voyages.

However, even frigates will load some goods for ballast, but because combat ships may sink, they usually do not load particularly valuable items. Most of them are coarse cloth or ore, and occasionally some inferior spices.

However, no matter how he checked, he could not find the same ship, but that era was not particularly long ago, and there should not be no news at all. This made Bruce realize that someone might have deliberately blocked the news.

It's time to take some special measures.

Bruce stared at the screen closely, and after a while he finally found a clue. It was a theft case that occurred in the Spanish National History Museum in the last century, and a large number of orphan files disappeared.

According to the investigation of American agents, the person who took action seemed to be the church, but because there was no conclusive evidence and strange events occurred frequently at that time, no one could afford to provoke them, and the matter was left unresolved.

The archives record that many files were lost, which were the design drawings of ships during the Age of Discovery, as well as relatively valuable sea trial data and some information from that year.

Because they were all unique copies, there was insufficient information left by taking photos, and the Internet was not well developed, this theft caused a period of blankness in the history of the Spanish Age of Discovery.

Bruce immediately realized that this was intentional by the church. They probably stole the historical data about the existence of these three frigates, with the purpose of covering up what happened at that time.

Even if these three ships now appeared at the dock, Bruce would not think that they had been parked on a small island in the sea for so many years and suddenly appeared recently.

These three ships must have sunk a long time ago. What returned now may be a ghost ship, or these three ships may have been fished out from the bottom of the sea by some mysterious force.

Bruce felt that the church concealed this history in order to pull these three ships back at some point. There must be something they want on the ship, which may be a secret or a treasure.

What could it be?
