Chapter 286 Goodbye Edward! [Diamond Star] Obsession
“What is the sound?”
“It seems like something exploded again?”
Many people present heard the sound deep in the cabin The roar everywhere.
Unlike the mist that diffused around the ship, this seemingly man-made movement actually attracted the attention of many people.
Just as Luther said -
[Diamond Star] is the best!
This large ship, which embodies the wisdom of this era, is like a huge fortress moving on the sea, powerful and solid.
Ordinary maritime disasters cannot even scratch it.
But the strongest fortress is often breached from within!
Feeling the faint vibration deep in the cabin, Luther's expression was a little ugly, and he cursed in a low voice: "It must be those untouchable little bastards who have caused trouble again!"
"Your Highness Xia En, I'm going right away. Teach them a lesson!"
"Please continue to enjoy breakfast, I promise, this will never happen again."
After that, Luther hurriedly led the crew around him. Rush to the depths of the cabin.
"...untouchable?"
Shane keenly noticed this title from Luther's words.
He realized that his previous judgment might be wrong.
Although on the surface, the passengers of the [Diamond Star] are all nobles and businessmen from the upper class.
However, this does not mean that there are no civilians in the lower cabins.
For example, those waiters and sailors were obviously from relatively humble backgrounds.
However, Luther's assurance to Xia En, instead of reassuring him, actually made the ominous premonition in his heart stronger.
The heavy fog that appeared for nothing;
The vibration deep in the cabin;
And the fleeting glimpses I saw before...
All seemed to be metaphors Now, some extremely dangerous disaster is about to befall the [Diamond Star].
Honestly.
Under this strong ominous warning sign, Xia En’s first thought was to run!
He is not in the state of [Projection Body] now and can commit suicide as he pleases.
What’s more important is that Joey is also with him!
In the face of this unknown disaster, Shane can't guarantee that he can protect Joey well.
However, the surrounding sea is a false artifact, and it is unknown what existence is hidden in the mist.
This [Diamond Star] is like an isolated island in the sea, completely isolated from the world, and there is nowhere to escape if you want to.
Since you can't escape, you can only find a way to deal with it.
“This [Diamond Star] seems to be stronger than my ship.”
Having been a captain for so long, Xia En’s vision is naturally extraordinary, and he can see Out, the big ship under your feet is impeccable from every angle.
Even some of the hull designs are beyond the standards of this era.
He touched his chin and thought to himself: "Even if there are any monsters in the fog, it will be difficult to cause real damage to the ship."
"It seems that the real danger is, Maybe it was the previous explosion in the cabin? "
Thinking of this, Shane was ready to take a look inside the cabin of the [Diamond Star].
But at this moment, a gentle and handsome aristocratic young man walked towards the door of the restaurant.
Beside him, there were several handsome young men and women. Such a scene of stars holding the moon could only show that the identity of this young man was not simple.
Xia En was startled when he saw this young man.
Because...he actually recognized the other party!
Even though the young man’s face has matured a lot and his height has increased, Xia En can still recognize——
This person is the one he had a relationship with in the [City of Giant Woods] Edward Phoenix whom we met once!
That is, the fifth prince of the Kingdom of Turin!
However, Edward's appearance did not change much after he became an adult, but his temperament was completely different.
Now, he has lost his former tenderness and innocence, his demeanor is as gentle as jade, and his face and eyes are always smiling, making people look forward to him like a spring breeze.
But under this smile, there is a compelling nobility, which is very different from before.
The surrounding guests are whispering about this fifth prince who has risen like a comet.
Originally, among the several princes and princesses in the Kingdom of Turin, Edward was one of those with little presence.
Because of his identity as an illegitimate child, he has been ridiculed and ridiculed.
However, after a trip to the [City of Giant Trees], Edward accidentally got involved with the powerful elves.
His status in the Kingdom of Turin continued to rise, and with the support of the king, he gradually became a strong contender for the throne.
Some people say that it was Edward who was lucky enough to turn over in one fell swoop.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that ordinary people may not be able to seize such an opportunity.
Whether it is establishing trade with the elves or sparing no effort to promote steam and magic pattern technology in the country, one can see the courage and vision of this prince.
His performance in the kingdom over the years has also been appreciated by many people and nobles.
On the contrary, his brothers and sisters made frequent mistakes and were not highly regarded both inside and outside the kingdom.
So gradually, there were fewer and fewer objections in the Kingdom of Turin.
On the other hand, the strength of the Kingdom of Turin is also growing, becoming the most powerful country on the continent.
This is the scene where all the stars are holding the moon.
After Edward walked into the restaurant, people nearby immediately gathered around him to greet him.
Especially some businessmen doing transnational business, their eyes lit up.
Isn’t it that they spent so much effort and money to come to the [Diamond Star] just to catch up with real princes and nobles so that they can do business more easily?
As for the so-called "prophecy of doom?"
Businessmen only regard it as the crazy words of a madman.
In fact, there are not a few people on the [Diamond Star] who have this idea.
For thousands of years, there have been prophets and religions advocating "the end of the world" and "catastrophes".
But no disaster has finally come true.
Otherwise, passengers would not view the voyage of the Diamond Star with this travel attitude.
Faced with the admiration of everyone, Edward responded as he walked, concisely and politely, not letting anyone fail.
But if you observe carefully, you will find that there is a subtle difference between closeness and distance.
Children of nobles receive obviously more attention than businessmen. Those with distinguished noble status and those who are close to the Kingdom of Turin will receive more time and attention.
These details test the social skills of a noble child the most.
And Edward's performance can only be described as "incomparably excellent".
But for some reason, Xia En felt a little sad.
The simple and kind-hearted Edward in the past has finally grown up and turned into a person he is quite unfamiliar with.
Edward saw Xia En from a distance and immediately walked up with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness Xia En, long time no see."
Shane was stunned for a moment before he realized that Edward was greeting the identity he was playing, rather than recognizing himself.
He sighed in his heart and said: "His Royal Highness Edward."
"Huh?"
At this time, Edward's eyes fell aside. The smile on Joey's face suddenly froze, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
The more he looked at it, the weirder his expression became. He couldn't help but frown, as if he was thinking about something.
Joey, on the other hand, felt that the strange man's eyes were so strange that he couldn't help but hide behind Xia En.
“Ahem.”
Xia En coughed twice and looked a little cold. After all, Joey is now playing the role of his wife. Isn't it a bit rude for Edward to stare at her intently?
Edward also realized his inappropriate behavior and apologized quickly.
"Sorry, I just think this little girl looks familiar, as if I've seen her before somewhere."
Hearing this, Xia En was a little strange.
Others often call Joey "Mrs.", but in Edward's mouth, why does it become "little girl?"
And in his impression, Edward doesn't seem to be that way. For such a lecherous person, it was a strange thing to stare at Joey so disrespectfully.
However, Xia En didn’t wait until he could figure out the reason for this abnormal situation.
A burst of exclamations erupted outside the restaurant.
"Monster! There is a monster!"
"Help!!!"
Xia En's expression changed slightly and he turned to look in the direction where the exclamation came from.
On the corridor, a strange white entity suddenly appeared.
This is a monster made of mist, barely maintaining a human form, and constantly making sticky and disgusting squirming sounds.
A hoarse growl and a whisper came from the depths of the mist.
The moment the "fog monster" appeared, it immediately attacked the nearest passengers.
In the blink of an eye, several passengers were pulled into the fog by the fog monster.
Immediately afterwards, a creepy chewing sound came from the depths of the mist.
However, the nobles more or less brought their own bodyguards.
These powerful secret travelers are not vegetarians. They have used their own methods to deal with this fog monster of unknown origin.
However, the body of the fog monster is composed of mist, and after being destroyed by ordinary means, it can be reorganized in the blink of an eye.
As a result, the guards could only block the attacks of the fog monsters, but could not actually kill them.
The current situation is not yet time for Xia En to take action.
The guard strength on the [Diamond Star] alone is enough to resist the monsters that appear in the fog.
You can see that the situation has just stabilized...
Boom————
A loud and dull sound suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
Xia En's pupils shrank, and he judged with his rich experience that this was the sound of the [Diamond Star] hitting something.
Without thinking, he took Joey's hand and ran outside the restaurant.
This strange behavior received puzzled looks from many nobles behind him.
"Your Highness Xia En!?"
After leaving the restaurant, Xia En looked into the fog while blasting away the fog monsters around him.
Soon, he saw the shadowy outline of a huge iceberg directly in front of the [Diamond Star].
The ice loomed in the surging mist, showing strong and cold edges.
At the same time, the iceberg is still approaching.
Collision at sea is often not an instant, but a relatively long process.
This is especially true for the behemoth [Diamond Star].
Xia En felt that the deck under his feet began to tilt, which meant that the ship's hull gradually lost its balance.
As the water pours in, the entire ship will inevitably sink.
Huge waves surged on the sea.
People's screams of panic came from the cabin and restaurant, and some people stood on the edge of the deck, staring blankly at the scene in front of them.
But suddenly, a turbulent white light lit up from the field of vision, engulfing the bodies of Xia En and others...
...
...
When I opened my eyes again.
What appeared in front of Xia En was a familiar yet unfamiliar cabin.
"...Where is this?"
Shane looked around and quickly judged that this was the bedroom where he had woken up before.
The furnishings in the room, including the cabinet in front of me, the stockings on the floor, the soft big bed... are all the same as before.
"What's going on?"
Xia En was surprised and uncertain: "Didn't the [Diamond Star] sink because it hit an iceberg?"
"I Why are you back here?"
"Mr. Captain!"
At this time, Joey's little head also emerged from under the quilt. She looked at the scene around her and was shocked.
"What happened?"
Joy opened his eyes wide and murmured: "Is everything we experienced before a dream?"
Shane thought After a moment, he shook his head and said: "No, it's not a dream."
"I think the reason why we are here is because... this [Diamond Star] has undergone a reset."< br>
Joey was a little hard to understand: "Reset?"
Xia En explained: "You can understand that the time in this space goes back to when we just woke up."
" What we have experienced before may happen again."
It seemed to prove Xia En's conjecture.
Boom!
Two polite knocks came from outside the door.
"Mr. Shane, breakfast is ready."
The waiter's respectful voice sounded: "Should it be brought in for you, or should you go to the restaurant to enjoy it yourself?"
"We can go to the restaurant by ourselves."
After Xia En replied casually, his thoughts were ups and downs.
At this moment, after this "reset" and "retrospection", he finally vaguely guessed the truth of this strange space.
This space is probably formed by the obsession of the [Diamond Star]!
It was not willing to be destroyed in a heavy fog, and the people on the ship were not willing to die inexplicably like this.
Coupled with some special factors, such a strange space was formed.
Obviously, the only way to leave this space is to prevent the sinking of the [Diamond Star] and break this cycle.
Only when the obsession of the [Diamond Star] is eliminated, will this space truly disappear.
And now that I think about it, the reason why the [Diamond Star] in [Misty Sea] turned into a ghost ship like a lonely ghost is precisely because of this unwilling obsession.
At this moment, Xia En suddenly remembered the rumors about the [Diamond Star] at sea.
Most of the people who board the ghost ship will disappear quietly and never appear again.
Only one person returned by chance after boarding the ship, but he also became a complete madman.
Could it be that they also broke into this space by mistake at that time?
