Chapter 332 The undead from the old era! Goodbye half-dragon Nana!
Maybe...
[The Far North] The eternal glaciers are the product of the first great flood!
This guess sounds absurd at first, but if it is connected with the history that Jane knows, the situation is completely different.
Faced with the great flood sweeping the world, one of the solutions Xia En could think of was to move it to another space.
The other is to contain floods to prevent them from affecting the entire world.
Thinking about it now, King Xin probably chose the latter!
Xia En has not forgotten the towns under the sea near [Han Iceland] that were suspected of being suddenly frozen!
There must be a very close connection between the two.
It can be said that the salary king of that year was successful, but not completely successful.
He did weaken the power of the great flood and gave mankind some room to survive.
But it failed to really prevent this disaster and left a historical problem——
In other words, this glacier will melt at some point!
Thinking of this, Xia En suddenly realized.
Maybe the prediction of the second great flood in the ancient document came from this.
Due to his past experiences, Xia En knew that the source of the great flood was actually the alien god [Husi Ming] from the [Secret Sea]!
It is conceivable that this flood is obviously not only a natural disaster of physical nature, but also mixed with the mysterious power of external gods.
It can even be called a curse against the [Seven Seas World].
Therefore, an ordinary cold wave cannot freeze it.
Xia En had reason to believe that when Chu Xin Wang prevented the flood from coming, he used some kind of "sealing" method to freeze the seawater with filthy secret power into a glacier.
However, the effectiveness of the "seal" will dissipate over time.
After the people of the Seven Seas have lived peacefully for hundreds of years, the seal deep in the [Far North] is gradually weakening every day.
It was not until today that such hidden dangers finally emerged.
Glaciers began to melt and sea levels gradually rose.
The owner of that ancient document may have estimated the time when the "seal" would loosen, and left the prophecy of the "second world-destroying flood".
And Yan Yan's awakening and the appearance of [Black Flame Walker] are probably not pure coincidences.
——As someone who personally sealed the Great Flood, Yan Yan and [Black Flame Walker] are bound to know more information.
Xia En even suspected that the people who left the prophecy were the people of the Great Yan Kingdom.
In order to cope with this second major flood, Xinwang most likely left behind some back-ups and designated a certain plan in the past.
Otherwise, how could [Black Flame Walker] find him so accurately on the vast ocean?
Rather, the encounter between Xia En and Yan Yan was an unexpected surprise for them.
It is estimated that neither Yan Yan nor the [Black Flame Walkers] expected that after waking up, he would be accidentally picked up by Xia En, and he would become a crew member of the [Black Swan] for a period of time.
One has to lament that fate plays tricks on people.
Even though there are still some doubts and uncertainties, Xia En is basically certain that this is the truth of the matter!
Xia En's thoughts that were undulating like waves gradually calmed down, and he couldn't help but feel some respect for King Xin in his heart.
At the same time, there is still a little pride - such a salary king has actually become a crew member on his own ship!
Although in terms of results, King Xin did not prevent the great flood from coming.
But that doesn't mean his efforts are meaningless.
Without his efforts, human civilization would have been destroyed by now!
You know, Augustine, the pirate king back then, also led a fleet to challenge [Hulky Siming].
But the final result was so disappointing that even Augustine himself lost his will to fight and felt desperate.
King Xin's move was equivalent to taking the game back from [Huisi Ming].
Based on this alone, his achievements are undeniable!
No wonder Jane has such a special attitude towards him.
However, from those frozen towns, the only scaly claws left in history, and Yan Yan’s resistance to his own memory...
It was not difficult for Xia En to guess that in order to do this, Yan Yan and [Great Yan Kingdom] probably paid a very heavy price.
At the moment, there happened to be a "Walking Great Library" by his side, so Xia En simply asked Jane.
"Is there any record in history of the reason for the demise of [Dayan Kingdom]?"
Jane replied: "Yes, but very few."
"The only record is that [the Far North], as the source of the great flood, was the first to submerge the then powerful [Great Yan Kingdom]."
"There are no other more detailed records."
"This is because...people on the mainland at that time generally had serious prejudices against [the Far North] and [the Great Yan Kingdom]."
Shane asked, remembering a statement he once heard.
"Is it because [the Far North] was once a place of exile for sinners on the mainland?"
"Yes."
Jane nodded: "It is for this reason that people on the mainland thought..."
"[The Far North] is a land full of sin, and the blood of the people of [Great Yan Kingdom] is naturally flowing with the blood of sin."
"So, after learning about the demise of [Great Yan Kingdom], some people even celebrated it. There are very few people who want to find out the truth about [Great Yan Kingdom]'s demise."
"What's more, after that, the flood came quickly, and there was no time to explore the truth."
Jane's tone was slightly mocking and sad.
Instead of receiving respect and gratitude, the country that saved the world was regarded as an enemy and a sin.
No one even cared about its demise, leaving only a very faint trace in history.
This kind of thing is indeed sad.
Speaking of this, Jane glanced at Alessio beside her.
Seeing the look in her eyes, Alessio turned red, and finally said bluntly.
"I was wrong, and I apologize for my previous unfounded suspicions."
"But..."
After hesitating for a moment, Alessio said: "People's hearts are fickle."
"Even if King Xin's mind has not changed, perhaps his [Black Flame Walker] has had some other ideas during this long period of time?"
Hearing this, Jane raised her eyebrows, but did not refute Alessio's speculation.
"It is indeed possible, but as long as King Xin is still there, [Black Flame Walker] will not become a hindrance to our operation."
From the conversation between the two, Xia En also heard a deeper meaning.
After all, Alessio is still a member of the Federation Navy, and his views are likely to represent the official attitude of the Federation towards King Xin and [Black Flame Walker].
Now it seems that federal officials are still somewhat vigilant and wary.
It's normal for them to have such thoughts.
No matter what, King Xin is a king from the old era and is incompatible with the modern Seven Seas Federation.
Even though there are only a few followers of King Xin, if a [Great Yan Kingdom] is re-established in the [Far North], there seems to be nothing the Federation can do.
In addition, King Xin is suspected of having the secret of the "Second Flood", which makes the Federation even more afraid.
Jane's stance is more in favor of King Xin.
This may have something to do with the history she was reading in the big library, or her past experiences.
As for Shane himself...
Of course he is on Yan Yan's side.
The premise is that Yan Yan still regards himself as his captain.
……
……
After exchanging information with each other.
Daisy and her brother quickly said goodbye and left. In addition to the above information, Daisy also told Shane that the federation gave the personnel involved in this operation a name, called——
【Far North Expeditionary Force】
It is said that the main force carrying the legendary powerhouse has arrived at the core area of [Far North].
In comparison, the progress of Xia En and others is slow.
After Daisy and the two left, Jane stopped Xia En and said seriously.
"Captain Shane, there is one thing Alessio is right about."
"In [Black Flame Walker], there are indeed some discordant voices. They have deteriorated over a long period of time and intense hatred."
"Please be careful when distinguishing."
Xia En murmured: "Hate...deteriorated..."
He completely understands this.
In today's Seven Seas, there is almost no trace of the [Great Yan Kingdom].
And kingdoms on the mainland such as the "Kingdom of Shuton" and the "Kingdom of Turin" have more or less left some sparks of civilization.
For the people of [Great Yan Kingdom], this is equivalent to them sacrificing their own motherland and protecting other kingdoms.
What makes them even more chilling is that not many people in the Seven Seas even remember the existence of [Great Yan Kingdom].
Not to mention the achievements of [Great Yan Kingdom] in saving the world.
As a result, all the contributions they made, including their dead relatives and friends, seemed to be meaningless.
In this case, [Black Flame Walker] may indeed do some irrational things out of hatred.
So, Xia En nodded and said: "I know, I will pay attention to it carefully."
……
……
The next day.
Under the speed of the [Black Swan].
In the evening of this day, an ice field composed of broken ice appeared in front of the Black Swan.
This ice sheet had obviously just formed not long ago. The outer ice layer was not too thick and there were many cracks on the surface.
"Captain Shane, what now?"
On the deck of the Breeze, Daisy asked: "If we want to get around this ice, we will probably waste at least more than a day."
Xia En decisively ordered: "Go straight forward!"
The ice-breaking equipment previously collected from the vampire ships came into play at this time.
Xia En has already made small modifications to the [Black Swan] in the past few days.
At this time, following Xia En's driving, the [Black Swan] suddenly headed towards the ice ahead.
The bow of the ship rose slightly, reaching above the ice, and then used the weight of the hull to crush the ice.
The propellers installed on both sides of the ship roll in and chop the ice.
Compared with driving on the sea, the progress on the ice sheet has obviously slowed down a lot.
But in the face of the powerful and lasting power of the [Black Swan], it is only a matter of time before a path is opened in this ice field.
Behind them, Daisy and her brother looked a little numb.
However, with the [Black Swan] leading the way, they can follow safely.
"Huh? Mr. Captain, that's..."
At this time, Joey suddenly noticed something and looked in a direction on the ice.
I saw three ships moving slowly forward on that ice field.
But unlike the clean and tidy [Qingfeng] and [Hanyu], those ships looked a bit shabby, with a kind of wild growth.
Shane is no stranger to this temperament.
Obviously, those are three pirate ships!
Only a pirate ship can have such a rude and powerful temperament.
Xia En originally wanted to keep a respectful distance from these three strange pirate ships.
After all, pirates are generally cruel in character, and who knows if they will attack.
——Even if they all bear the name of [Far North Expeditionary Force] and become nominal friendly forces, they can't let their guard down towards the pirates.
God knows if their real purpose in coming to [Lenglie Sea] is to take advantage of the opportunity to plunder?
Just like the [Dark Red Baron] before, didn't they also take action against the [Black Swan]?
It is better to do less than to do more.
But at this time, Xian Ge, who was wrapped in a thick blanket, was surprised.
"Captain Shane, those captains seem to have the breath of dragons!"
"Dragon?"
Shane raised his eyebrows.
He noticed that Xian Ge used the word "dragon" instead of "ancient dragon."
Of course there are creatures with dragon blood in the Seven Seas now.
It's just that compared with the real ancient dragons, they seem to be missing some crucial factors, so some kind of degradation has occurred.
Of course, it can't be considered weak, but it is still a few levels behind Gu Long.
Just like humans don't regard orangutans as their own kind.
Ancient dragons would not regard living dragons as their own kin.
Inexplicably, Xia En remembered the half-dragon Nana he saw during the promotion ritual, and became a little curious about these pirate ships with the aura of dragons.
"Then go and have a look."
Those three pirate ships were already in front of the [Black Swan] route.
Just over ten minutes.
[Black Swan] gradually approached the opponent.
At this time, Xia En discovered that the three ships seemed to be temporarily docked on the ice sheet.
There are also crew members walking off the deck, seemingly fighting something.
Shane picked up the telescope and looked at the ice field next to the ship.
I saw a strange building standing among the broken ice.
It's a bit like a palace, and a bit like a tower.
But one thing is certain, its existence must be very ancient and can be traced back to those extremely distant times.
And around this building, there is a strange existence that looks like an ice sculpture.
Their bodies are pieced together from pieces of broken ice, barely forming a grotesque human shape.
The smooth, mirror-like ice crystal face had no facial features and no expression.
But it makes people instinctively feel uneasy and weird.
They moved their stiff joints, spread their legs made of solid ice, and attacked the pirates one after another.
"What is that?"
Xia En's pupils shrank slightly.
What is certain is that it is no ordinary monster.
Because in them, Xia En sensed a familiar, dirty secret power!
Just then.
A vigorous half-dragon figure broke into Xia En's field of vision.
