Chapter 347 comes from before the blank era
At the end of the cave that was colorfully reflected by the magic moss, Lei Xiao looked at the giant three-masted battleship in front of him, which was the size of a luxury cruise ship. The surprise on his face was beyond words.
"I originally thought that this vast underground cave was magical enough, but I didn't expect that there is such a huge thing hidden here."
In awe, Lei Xiao, standing on a flat rock slope, narrowed his eyes and observed carefully.
From the position he was currently standing at, he had a commanding view of the entire giant ship.
On the giant wooden ship, the first thing that caught the eye were the three towering masts located in the front, middle and rear parts of the huge hull.
Each of these three masts is twenty to thirty meters high, especially the one in the middle, which is extremely thick and has an observation tower at the top.
Moreover, on each mast, there is a huge black sail stretched out, like a huge black curtain, hanging quietly in mid-air.
It is worth noting that these black sails are not only covered with a thick layer of dust.
Moreover, many places have been corroded by time, cracking holes of various sizes.
"It seems that this ship has been anchored here for a long time."
Lei Xiao moved his gaze downwards and continued to observe.
What caught his eyes next was the mottled open-air deck of the giant ship.
I saw that most of the surface on the open-air deck was covered with various colors of magic moss, exuding a faint light, which gave this ancient giant ship a sense of time and vicissitudes.
On the side of the ship on both sides, you can clearly see neatly arranged mottled cannons fixed on them. On the surface of the hull below, there are also dense cannon firing ports, which obviously shows that this warship has extremely low firepower. vulgar.
However, the most eye-catching thing is the bow position at the sharp end of the deck.
There stood a giant copper-colored metal statue with a lion's body and sharp claws, but an eagle's head and wings.
Looking at it carefully, in the eagle's beak of this very magical creature, there is also a huge broken talon, standing tall and proud.
Although the body of the statue has long been rusty and covered with copper-green, its majestic and majestic appearance can still be vaguely seen.
Just when Lei Xiao saw this.
Chaoyan blinked his big eyes, came over and said, "Lord, this griffon figure with a dragon's claw in its mouth looks really special."
"So that's it, a gryphon with a dragon's claw in its mouth?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Through this period of understanding, Lei Xiao clearly understood.
In this world, although griffins are also extremely ferocious monsters.
However, compared with the Dragon Clan, which stands at one of the top of the power pyramid, it is undoubtedly still far from being an opponent and is not at the same energy level at all.
"Using the power of a griffon to fight against the dragon? It seems that the owner of this ship has some ideas."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Behind Lei Xiao, the petite Feng Chime stood on tiptoes and looked around, with an expression of surprise on his face. He murmured to himself blankly: "It's amazing. I didn't expect that a super ship would appear here." Big battleship..."
"The point is, why is this giant ship anchored here?"
Qin Qian was stunned for a long time, her fair face full of doubts, and then she spoke.
"Yes, you must know that the area we are in is a rolling mountain range."
Jiang Hao looked at the huge mottled thing in front of him, swallowed unconsciously, and exclaimed.
"Lord, they are right."
A Ling moved her shocked gaze away from the giant ship that exuded an ancient atmosphere, and quickly came to Lei Xiao's side. Her eyebrows frowned slightly and she said: "Lengyan Kingdom is originally an inland country that is not bordered by the sea. There are only a few inland canals, and they are very far away from here. Therefore, it is really unreasonable for a large warship to appear here. ”
"Yes, yes, Lord Lord, by the way, how did this giant ship get in?"
Chaoyan blinked his big eyes in confusion, and said with a puzzled face: "Judging from what we just saw along the way, it is absolutely impossible for such a huge ship to enter here."
"Is it possible that this underground cave has other entrances and exits?"
Qin Qian held her chin with one hand and blinked her long eyelashes, thinking thoughtfully.
"Yecang, let's go around and take a look."
Waving his hands to signal that everyone should not be anxious, Lei Xiao nodded to the muscular priest beside him.
"Yes! Lord."
Hearing this, Ye Cang's figure flashed, his magic wings vibrated, and then turned into a meteor with a dark golden tail, disappearing in front of everyone.
A moment later, with a gust of wind passing by, Ye Cang reappeared in front of Lei Xiao.
Then he bowed and said: "Lord, except for the passage we came from, the three sides of this place are solid mountain walls, and there are no other entrances and exits."
"How could this happen?"
After hearing this unexplainable thing, Qin Qian's delicate face was full of confusion, and she said in surprise: "Then how did this giant ship get here?"
Nodding towards Ye Cang, the curious look on Lei Xiao's face became more and more obvious.
Just as Qin Qian wondered, it is indeed puzzling that a huge ship of this size would appear deep in this underground cave.
"I know! Maybe someone used teleportation to teleport the entire giant ship directly in from outside this mountain!"
Chaoyan, who was still transformed into the image of a freckled girl, suddenly showed a look of enlightenment after pondering for a moment.
"This possibility cannot indeed be ruled out."
Ye Cang pushed the golden eyes that did not exist in the eyes of Qin Qian and others, and said thoughtfully: "However, the distance of the teleportation technique is very limited, and there are no large rivers around here, so it is necessary to To achieve this, it is only possible to achieve this unless there is a powerful space magic expert who uses teleportation on the giant ship.”
"However, it is said that teleportation consumes a lot of magic power, let alone teleporting such a huge thing. What is the point of doing this?"
Bai Wei's furry ears covered in the hood twitched, and her face was full of confusion.
"That's all, let's get on the boat and take a look first. Maybe we'll find some new clues."
After thinking for a while, Lei Xiao shrugged and nodded to the knotweed.
"Lord, leave it to your subordinates."
Huzhang understood, and saw that his figure flashed, and with lightning speed, he landed among the strange rocks dozens of meters away, and then jumped quickly until he landed firmly on the hull of the ship. .
Immediately afterwards, the energy in the whole body of the knotweed was strong, and it was obvious that it was conducting all-round perception.
A moment later, a rough voice reached Lei Xiao's ears: "Lord Qi, my subordinates have already explored the entire hull and the surrounding waters, and there is no other aura present."
< br>
"Okay, let's go down and have a look."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao and the remaining subordinates also showed their magical powers and quickly jumped onto the hull of the ship, stirring up waves of dust.
Looking at the elegant movements of Lei Xiao and others, Qin Qian and the other four lords opened their eyes wide. While marveling, they also began to move towards the giant ship.
The first thing Lei Xiao did when he arrived on the ship was to rush to a row of cannons that were tightly fixed on the side of the ship and began to look at them carefully.
On the mottled surface of these breech-loading cannons, which were covered with dust and moss, one could vaguely see strange patterns engraved on them, and there was a conspicuous groove on the lower side.
Lei Xiao was naturally familiar with a cannon of this structure. It was a powerful magic cannon!
Overjoyed, Lei Xiao immediately opened the attribute bar of one of the magic cannons.
[Name: Ancient magic cannon "Fire"]
[Grade: Second level fine (green)]
[Attack Magic: Pyroblast MAX]
[Additional effect: Loss of magic power "lethality reduced by 50%"]
[Remarks: The ancient magic cannon from thousands of years ago has gone through a long period of time. Due to the lack of maintenance, the magic circle engraved on it has lost most of its effect, causing its power to be greatly reduced. 】
"Good guys, although there are many in number, has the power been greatly reduced?"
After closing the interface in front of him, Lei Xiao curled his lips and casually opened the attribute bar of the other cannon next to him.
[Name: Ancient magic cannon "Fire"]
[Grade: Second level fine (green)]
[Attack Magic: Rapid Fireball MAX]
[Additional effect: Loss of magic power "lethality reduced by 55%"]
[Note: This is an ancient magic cannon. The magic circle engraved on it has been partially weakened and cannot exert its original power. 】
"Is this really the case?"
After looking around, Lei Xiao frowned.
These magic cannons are all in a state of lacking magic power, and their power has been reduced by about half.
According to past experience, if you directly upgrade, you can only restore it to its peak state, or mass-produce the same batch of items with missing magic power.
In this way, the help of these ancient naval guns will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
"Lord, it turns out they are all fire-based magic cannons!"
A crisp voice sounded, and Chaoyan walked up to him with small steps, and said with a confident expression: "Lord Qi, after being promoted to the fourth level, my subordinates also have a magic array that can be embedded in the magic cannon. Ability.
Although it takes a lot of time to make a brand new one, repairing this kind of fire magic cannon that is obviously not in the best condition can greatly reduce the process. Therefore, these magic cannons are all handed over to Come down and fix it! ”
"Very good. I will reward you with ten pieces of honey cake when you go back. You can cash it out with Rudy at any time."
Looking at Chao Yan's iconic big eyes, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, revealing a hint of contemplation again.
"If that's the case, let's wait until Chaoyan repairs one door, and then I'll upgrade another one."
"By the way, in addition to the space bracelet, I also have [Blessed Golden Eyes] and [Dawning Eyes] on my hand. These two storage rings have not been used yet."
"The [Blessed Golden Eyes] has a total space of 50 cubic meters, while the [Dawning Eyes] has 100 cubic meters of space, so let's start with the larger [Dawning Eyes]."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao first nodded to Qin Qian and others who had just jumped onto the ship from a huge boulder that was almost parallel to the open deck not far away, telling them that they would allocate them later, and then with a wave of his hand, It was to collect all these magical cannons that had just been unfixed by the knotweed and others.
The panting Qin Qian and others naturally had no objections to this, and they all nodded along.
These ancient naval guns, which looked very heavy, were of almost no use to them, let alone the trouble of moving them back.
Therefore, it would be better to ask Mr. Sha Chen to exchange for some useful weapons and equipment.
In this way, after harvesting a total of 20 second-level fire magic cannons to be repaired on the left and right sides of the ship's side, Lei Xiao, who was satisfied, continued to pace on the open-air wooden deck that creaked when he stepped on it. , while falling into thought again.
"According to the hints on the properties of the magic cannon, this giant ship seems to have been here for thousands of years, but the deck and sails are still mostly intact. This is quite magical."
< br>
"Lord, because my subordinate has lived in an important seaport town since he was a child, he is quite familiar with this kind of three-masted warship."
Ye Cang pushed his golden eyes again, bowed gracefully and said: "As far as my subordinates know, this three-masted battleship is extremely ancient. It uses a hybrid power of wind and magic power, and its speed and maneuverability are low. It is very different from the current full magic power.”
"As for the material used, it is also the century-old magic oak that has been eliminated long ago. Although the hull made of this magic wood has good durability and is not easily corroded by sea water, its resistance to spells is relatively limited. Therefore, the current hull , almost all are superior elf woods.”
Having said this, Ye Cang paused and added: "And the time point for this replacement of old and new battleships was the blank era three thousand years ago!"
"So, this ship is indeed a product of the blank era three thousand years ago?"
Although he had more or less expected it, upon hearing this, the surprise on Lei Xiao's face was still beyond words.
The mysterious blank era has always been an unsolved mystery that lingers in my mind.
Whether it’s the ancient ruins of the Light Elf clan, the empty ancient battlefield, the recently acquired Magic Box of Eternal Night, or what Wang Xi mentioned, the disappearance of the Chosen Son of God and the lack of favor from the gods...
Everything is so incredible.
"As I learn more about it, I feel more and more that something extraordinary, even unbelievable, might have happened in the blank era."
"And this ship from before the blank era may be able to help me find some clues."
Smelling the ancient smell faintly emanating from the ship, Lei Xiao took a deep breath, took another step, and began to walk towards the bow statue at the bow of the ship.
When he got closer, Lei Xiao noticed.
Upon closer inspection, this metal gryphon bow statue, which is more than five meters tall and holds a dragon's claw in its mouth, becomes taller and bulkier, exuding an inexplicable aura.
"This thing... won't suddenly come to life, right?"
Feeling some strange aura, Lei Xiao, surrounded by Huzhang and others, raised his head slightly and continued to observe.
From this position, Lei Xiao could just see the metal griffon's mottled face covered in patina.
At this moment, an inexplicable red light suddenly lit up from the metal gryphon's Wushen right eye.
For a moment, the brightness of the light increased rapidly, just like a high-power red light bulb, making it difficult to open one's eyes.
Because all this happened between lightning and flint, under the surprised and alert eyes of Lei Xiao and others.
Although this metal griffon did not really come to life.
However, something even more incredible happened.
As the red eyes of the metal griffon became brighter and brighter, without any warning, a strange wave of energy suddenly rippled out from its eyes.
At this moment, Lei Xiao, who was surrounded by Huzhang and others, noticed.
The area around the giant metal griffon's body began to become blurry and illusory.
A thick mist, with the metal griffon as the center, began to spread rapidly to the surroundings, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire battleship.
Just when Lei Xiao was picked up by the tiger stick after a long absence, he was about to leave here first.
The hazy scene around them has begun to become clear again.
At this time, what appeared in front of everyone was an endless ocean.
Under the bright sunshine, the blue sky stretched as far as the eye could see.
In the sky, white seagulls flew by in groups from time to time, making a "coo" sound.
The sound of waves lapping against the ship's hull, mixed with the chirping of birds in the sky, and the clear sky above, give people an inexplicable feeling of relaxation and joy.
What surprised Lei Xiao and others even more was that the originally mottled warship actually became brand new again.
Especially the giant griffin statue in front of him was just as Lei Xiao expected, shining in the bright sunshine, just like a watcher, with its smooth bronze metal body exuding dazzling light.
At some point, the translucent figures began to turn from illusion to reality, and appeared on the open deck one after another. Those coming and going looked busy.
"Lord, it seems that we have fallen into a sudden illusion."
Chaoyan's crisp voice first rang in Lei Xiao's ears: "If my subordinates' predictions are correct, there should be an extremely rare illusion crystal inlaid on the head of this ship's bow statue. It was exactly this thing just now. The red glow ”
"The function of this illusion crystal is to record everything that happened on the ship and re-present it before the energy is exhausted."
"Therefore, the illusion we are currently in is just a documentary illusion and does not have any danger."
When Chaoyan said this, Ye Cang nodded, obviously agreeing with her.
"So, is it because of our arrival that this illusion crystal has been reactivated?"
Lei Xiao fell easily from Huzhang's arms and couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.
"Back to Lord, that's exactly what it is."
Ye Cang bowed slightly and responded: "According to my subordinates' guess, although the energy of this illusion crystal should have been exhausted three thousand years ago, in such long years, perhaps under the influence of the surrounding magic moss, It slowly regained some energy and was finally reactivated by us.”
"That's it."
After listening to Ye Cang's words, Lei Xiao opened the attribute bar of the crystal.
It was discovered that its name and function were indeed exactly the same as those described by Chao Yan and Ye Cang.
After closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao couldn't help but show an increasingly curious look on his face, and murmured to himself.
"Then, let me take a closer look at what happened in the final stage of this battleship." (End of Chapter)
