The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After the relevant news came out, Skull Bay immediately became a tourist hotspot in the whole world. Every year, a large number of people from all over the world hunt for treasure in the waters of Skull Bay, and many people even settled in Skull Bay because of this.

Up to now, Skull Bay has become the most prosperous sea area in the Pearl Island Chain. There are more than a dozen large and small islands in the entire sea area, and the total number adds up to hundreds of thousands.

These people are not only British, but also people from other countries. Because of the special immigration policy of Skull Bay, people living here can still retain their original nationality, but they don’t care about their original nationality after a long time. They prefer Call yourself a Skull Bay native.

Although a large number of treasure hunters have gathered in Skull Bay, there is still no news about the treasures of the five pirate kings. Over time, except for a very small number of people who are still interested in this legendary treasure, the rest began to look for other livelihoods. Bay treasure hunting has become an entertainment project that attracts tourists.

Now some of the passengers on the Ice Queen's ship's final destination is Skull Bay. Needless to say, they came here for the treasure, because a month ago, newspapers from various countries in the Velen continent reported a thing, you just have a set Priest trinkets belonging to the extinct tribes of Mozan appear in Skull Bay.

At the beginning, the people of all countries did not pay much attention to this news, because the news of the clues to the Pirate King’s treasure found in Skull Bay often appeared in newspapers of various countries, and its value dropped from the initial headlines of major newspapers all the way to The last few editions of a third-rate newspaper.

People from all over the world obviously regarded this news as the unreliable rumors they had heard before, but they soon discovered that this rumor was a bit unusual, because just after the rumor appeared in the last few pages of third-rate newspapers, the next day each The headlines of the big newspapers all reported this incident, as if the treasure of the Pirate King had returned to its original enthusiasm in an instant.

Subsequently, relevant reports appeared in various newspapers in more and more detail. At this time, the people of various countries realized that this was no longer an unreliable rumor, but a real thing.

It turned out that this set of priest accessories was discovered by a fisherman. At that time, he was fishing in the inland waters of Skull Bay. He accidentally found a box floating on the sea in the distance, because from time to time he would see some shipwrecked ships left behind on the sea. The wreckage and other items that came down, so the fisherman also took this box as those things and salvaged it.

But when he salvaged the box and pried it open, he found that there was a set of oddly shaped but extremely finely crafted ornaments in the box, just because the ornaments were made of copper and a layer of green had grown on the surface. Rust, giving off a bad smell.

After returning to the shore, the fisherman directly took the accessories to the local pawnshop and pawned the set of accessories. In order to get a high price, he was also induced by the pawnshop to tell the process of finding the set of accessories, and Discover the sea of ​​trinkets.

At that time, the fisherman felt that something was a little strange, but he didn't think too much about it. It wasn't until he heard the rumors about the treasure that he realized that what he had found was a pirate king's treasure jewelry.

The fisherman was annoyed and did not dare to ask the pawnshop for extra money, because the pawnshop was run by a powerful force in Skull Bay, and going to ask for money would only lead to death, but soon a local reporter inquired After arriving at the source of the jewelry and finding him, he was willing to pay for the news, so he was naturally willing, so he explained the whole process in detail, and only then did the follow-up report come out.

Later, due to external pressure, the local forces that got the set of accessories had to take out the set of ornaments and sell them at auction, and finally bought them for a big nobleman in America, and then this big nobleman organized a professional treasure hunting team , resident in Skull Bay.

At the same time, some experts who study pirate treasures believe that the reason why this set of accessories appeared at sea is related to an earthquake that occurred in Skull Bay not long ago. During that earthquake, there was a large whirlpool on the sea surface, so in this area There must be a huge cave on the bottom of the sea, and the treasure of the Pirate King may be hidden in the cave.

As soon as the news came out, Skull Bay became a sacred place for treasure hunters from all over the world. People like the Ice Queen are considered late people, but people who go late also have the advantage of going late, at least the places they need to explore Much less, without having to waste too much energy.

Leo was not interested in the treasures of the Pirate King at first, but when he saw the list of some treasures of the Pirate King taken out by those treasure hunters, he was immediately attracted by the contents of the list, because he was on the list A spellbook of the wizard of the Tower was found among the drawn drawings.

Leo was able to recognize this magic book because he had seen this book in the collection of the wizard tower in Death Valley. This book belonged to the walker who was closest to the gods among the tower wizards.

There are not many records about the walker in the book that Leo read. The only thing that is certain is that the walker has the ability to travel through different worlds. He is a person who can see through the truth of the world.

Leo did not suspect that the drawings on the list were fake, because this list was jointly compiled by more than 30 experts in the study of the Pirate King's treasure, and it can be said to be the most authoritative information on the Pirate King's treasure in the entire Velen world.

In addition, let Leo confirm that this is the reason for the walker's magic book, or because the book that records the walker's experience mentions that the walker finally appeared in the Wakanda tribe, and the treasure of the Wakanda tribe is also on the list It is not just a coincidence that it is listed together with the magic book that Leo saw.

Although Leo was interested in this magic book, he didn't intend to stay in Skull Bay to search for treasures. He just planned to try his luck while repairing the hull of the Snow Queen and replenishing supplies. If he didn't find it, forget it. It's still possible to find.

As for being found by other people, this is a good thing for him, because in that case, he would not have to spend his energy looking for a needle in a haystack in Skull Bay, but would directly find the owner of the book, or buy it with money, or It is a direct robbery, which is a very simple matter.

In the next two days, Leo stopped his research on the three-dimensional radical array, but found various books related to the pirate king's treasure and read it carefully to get a general understanding of the situation.

Two days later, with the crisp whistle of the watchman on the top of the mast, the first mate told the passengers that the ship had entered the waters of Skull Bay, and that they would be able to see the most famous pirate cemetery soon.

All the passengers on the ship came to the deck and looked towards the front of the ship. After the ship traveled a certain distance, suddenly a passenger standing at the bow pointed to the distance and yelled loudly twice. The direction looked over.

I saw a mist on the distant sea at some point. This mist is very strange. They are entrenched on the sea. The strong sea wind can't blow them away, as if they have nailed a stake. The cloud and mist settled down.

However, what should have been a piece of mist looked like sliced ​​cheese, with a huge gap in the middle that split the cloud into two halves, and the gap was so wide that it was equivalent to a dozen large ships like the Snow Queen. The width of the side by side looks from a distance as if someone has specially opened up a sea channel so that passing ships can enter the Skull Bay.

The pirate cemetery originated from the battle when the Kingdom of England wiped out the pirates in Skull Bay. After the five pirate kings were captured, the pirates began to go their own ways and planned to flee in all directions. The kingdom's navy has no time to take care of it. In the end, there will always be some people who can escape the capture of the Kingdom of England's navy.

However, under the instigation of the kingdom's arrangement among the pirates, these pirates who lost their leaders and were extremely disturbed thought that it would be safer if everyone gathered together to act, and even if they encountered the kingdom's navy, they could still rely on such a large fleet. Let the navy of those kingdoms have no way to deal with them.

Ever since, they quickly agreed on a time, and when the time arrived, they chose a route they thought was the safest, like sailing outside Skull Bay.

It's just that they didn't know that their whereabouts had already been detected by the Royal Navy, and they had set up an ambush on the route they thought was safe.

One careless, one intentional, the final result is self-evident, the entire pirate army was wiped out, and all the pirate ships sank into this sea area.

Just when the last pirate ship sank to the bottom of the sea, a large amount of fog suddenly appeared on the sea, covering the entire sea area with pirate shipwrecks, and anyone who approached the sea area would be dragged into the sea area and trapped to death inside. Their ships also became part of the wrecks at the bottom of the sea.

For a long time, if you want to enter Skull Bay, you need to bypass this sea area and pass through a hidden reef sea area to enter. But later, for unknown reasons, a crack suddenly appeared in the fog, and ships were able to pass through this channel again, entering and exiting Skull Bay faster and safer.

When the ship passed through this cloud channel, the passengers did not leave the deck, but stood on the deck again, signaling the old captain to drive the Snow Queen closer to the fog wall at the edge.

The old captain knew exactly what these people were thinking and did not refuse. He skillfully drove the boat to a distance of only about ten meters from the fog wall, and then drove parallel to the fog wall.

The passengers were so excited that they came to the side of the ship near the fog wall, and then looked towards the fog wall. Immediately afterwards, someone let out a cry of surprise, and then pointed to the fog wall to beckon others to look over.

I saw that in the depths of the thick fog that the man pointed at, several huge old-fashioned sailing ships loomed in the fog, and a lot of fighting sounds and painful wailing could be heard among them, as if there was a tragic battlefield behind the fog.

In fact, it is not wrong to say that it is a battlefield, because in the thick fog on the sea surface, what was staged was the battle where the pirates of Skull Bay perished that year. As if the fog had the power to freeze time, it also frozen the dead at that station. Soul, let them repeat the scene of the battle that year. This is the most famous spectacle of Skull Bay, the eternal battlefield.

There are different opinions about the formation of the Eternal Battlefield, and there are all kinds of magical theories, but in the eyes of ordinary people, the explanation of the Royal Academy of Sciences in England is the most accepted. They explained that there is a certain kind of ore in this sea area. This kind of ore will automatically record the surrounding images in a specific environment and climate. It was recorded, and what everyone sees now is only the image that was recorded back then.

As for the thick fog covering this sea area, the explanation they gave was that there are a large number of submarine volcanoes here. Because Skull Bay is an area with frequent earthquakes, this explanation makes sense.

It's just that, for some supernatural beings and family members who possess powerful power in the dark world, these explanations are not true at all, because they can all feel the power in the dense fog, just like Leo can now easily feel through the spiritual network. It is the same as the energy fluctuation in the dense fog.

After learning about some things about Skull Bay, Leo was also curious about the various mysterious sights of Skull Bay, among which there is naturally the famous spectacle of the real battlefield.

When the ship approached, Leo first extended the spiritual net into the dense fog to check the situation in the dense fog, and at the same time, he also saw through the disguise of the dense fog through the power of the real eye in the spiritual vision.

Under the dual effects of the spirit net and spiritual vision, no matter how powerful the power contained in the dense fog is, it cannot resist Leo's prying.

The so-called ore-recorded image hypothesis of the Royal Academy of Sciences in England has been equated with absurdity in Leo's heart at this moment, because it found that the ships in the dense fog, the sounds of hacking and shouting were all real, but they Because some kind of unknown power is shadowing, wandering in the sea area covered by dense fog, and constantly making contributions to each other, and those fighting and shouting sounds do not come from living people, but a black unknown creature similar to human beings .

This unknown black creature screamed like a fight, and attacked each other. Those who failed would be killed by other unknown black creatures, and then new unknown black creatures would crawl out of the sea and continue what they had just done.

In fact, not only are there a large number of black unknown creatures on the shipwrecks on the sea surface, but even the bottom of the sea is covered with such black unknown creatures. , or in this sea area, there is always a powerful energy that seals all supernormal things in this sea area, and cannot leak a single bit.

It seems that the old captain also had some scruples about the scenery of the real battlefield. After driving for a certain distance near the fog wall, he immediately turned the rudder, drove the ship to the center of the route, accelerated the speed, and drove towards the opposite side. Through this sea of ​​​​thick fog.
