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, who was 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 or thirty meters high, especially the one in the middle, which is extremely thick and has an observation deck at the top.
Moreover, on each mast, there are huge black sails stretched out, like huge black curtains, 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 parked here for a long time."
Noticing this, Lei Xiao lowered his gaze and continued to observe.
What caught his eye next was the mottled open-air deck of the giant ship.
On the side of the ship on both sides, you can clearly see cannons arranged neatly and fixed on them.
On the hull below, there are also dense cannon firing ports, which obviously shows that this warship has extremely good firepower.
However, the most eye-catching thing is the bow at the sharp end of the deck.
The one standing there is a 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.
Just when Lei Xiao saw this, Chao Yan came over with his big eyes blinking and said: "Lord, this griffin bow statue 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 his understanding over this period of time, he clearly understood.
In this world, although griffons 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.
"It seems that the owner of this ship has some ideas." Thinking of this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
On the other side, the petite wind chime stood in the back row, looking around on tiptoes.
His little face was full of surprise, and he murmured to himself blankly: "It's so amazing, I didn't expect that a super big battleship would appear here..."
"The point is, why is this giant ship anchored here?" After being stunned for a long time, Qin Qian, whose fair face was full of doubts, said immediately.
"That's right, you must know that the area we are in is a rolling mountain range." Looking at the huge beast in front of him, Jiang Hao swallowed unconsciously and exclaimed.
"Lord, they are right." At this time, A Ling could be seen calming down and first looking away from the giant ship.
Then he quickly came to Lei Xiao's side, Dai Mei frowned slightly and 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 indeed unconventional for a large warship to appear here. "
"Yes, yes, Lord Lord, by the way, how did this giant ship get in?"
Blinking his big eyes in confusion, Chaoyan said with confusion on his face: "Judging from what we just saw along the way.
There is no way this huge ship with such a huge body can enter here. "
"Is it possible that this underground cave has other entrances and exits?" After pondering for a moment, Qin Qian blinked her long eyelashes and said thoughtfully.
"Ye Cang, let's go around and take a look." On the other side, 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 pale golden meteor and disappeared in front of everyone.
A moment later, with a gust of wind passing by, Ye Cang reappeared in front of Lei Xiao, bowed and said: "Lord Qi, except for the passage we came from.
There are solid mountain walls on three sides, and there are no other entrances or exits. "
"How could this happen?" After hearing this, Qin Qian's delicate face was full of confusion, and she said in surprise: "Then how did this giant ship get here?"
At this time, the curious expression on Lei Xiao's face became more and more obvious, just like Qin Qian's doubts.
It is really 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!"
After pondering for a moment, Chao Yan transformed into a girl with freckles, and suddenly showed a look of enlightenment.
"That possibility really cannot be ruled out."
Nodding thoughtfully, Ye Cang pushed the golden eyes that did not exist in the eyes of Qin Qian and others, and said: "However, the distance of teleportation is very limited.
There are no large rivers around here.
Therefore, in order to achieve this, it is only possible to achieve this unless there is a powerful space magic expert who uses teleportation along the way. "
"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?"
On the other side, Bai Wei's furry ears covered in the hood twitched, with a puzzled expression on her face.
"Well, let's get on the boat and take a look first." After thinking for a moment, Lei Xiao shrugged slightly and nodded to the knotweed.
"Lord, leave it to your subordinates." Directly opposite, Huzhang understood, and with a movement of his body, he quickly jumped among the jagged rocks with lightning speed, and then landed steadily 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."
"Okay, let's go take a look too."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao and the remaining subordinates showed off their magical powers and soon arrived on the hull of the ship, stirring up a burst of dust.
Looking at the elegant movements of Lei Xiao and others, Qin Qian and the other four lords, while marveling, 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 dusty surface of these naval guns, which were similar to breech-loading guns, 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 magic cannon!
Overjoyed, Lei Xiao immediately opened the attribute bar of one of the magic cannons.
[Name: Ancient magic cannon "Fire"]
[Grade: Second level·Exquisite (green)]
[Attack Magic: Pyroblast MAX]
[Additional effect: Loss of magic power "lethality reduced by 50%"]
[Note: The ancient magic cannon from thousands of years ago has gone through a long period of time due to lack of maintenance.
The magic circle engraved on it has lost most of its effect, greatly reducing its power. 】
"Good guy, although there are many, has the power been greatly reduced?" After closing the interface in front of him, Lei Xiao couldn't help but curled his lips slightly, and casually opened the attribute bar of another cannon.
[Name: Ancient magic cannon "Fire"]
[Grade: Second level·Exquisite (green)]
[Attack Magic: Rapid Fireball MAX]
[Additional effect: Loss of magic power "lethality reduced by 45%"]
[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 couldn't help but frowned slightly.
These magic cannons are all in a state of lacking magic power, and their power has been reduced by about half.
If you upgrade directly, according to past experience, 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 to our own side will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
"Lord, it turns out they are all fire-based magic cannons!"
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, a clear voice sounded from the other side, and Chao Yan walked up to him with small steps, and said with a confident expression: "Lord Qi.
After being promoted to the fourth level, subordinates also have the ability to inlay magic arrays into magic cannons.
Although it takes a lot of time to re-make a magic cannon, repairing this fire-type magic cannon that is obviously not in the best condition can greatly reduce the process.
Therefore, let these magic cannons be repaired by your subordinates! "
"Very good. I will reward you with ten pieces of honey cake when you go back. You can cash it in with Rudy at any time."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and showed a hint of contemplation: "If that's the case, then I'll upgrade another one after Chaoyan repairs one.
By the way, except for the space bracelet.
On my hand, I still have [Blessed Golden Eyes] and [Dawning Eyes], two storage rings that have not been used yet.
Among them, [Blessed Golden Eyes] has a total of 50 cubic meters of space.
As for [The Eye of Dawn], there is a total of 100 cubic meters of space.
Then let’s start with the larger [Eye of Dawn]. "
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao first nodded to Qin Qian and others who had just jumped onto the ship from a boulder almost parallel to the open deck of the ship, indicating that they would make arrangements later.
Then with a wave of his hand, he took all the magic cannons that had just been unfixed by the knotweed and others into his bag.
On the other side, 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 undoubtedly of no use to them now.
Not to mention the trouble of moving back, so it would be better to ask Mr. Sha Chen to exchange for some useful weapons and equipment.
In this way, a total of 20 second-level fire-type magic cannons to be repaired were harvested from 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 continuing, he couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful look: "According to the prompts on the properties of the magic cannon, this giant ship seems to have been staying for thousands of years, but the deck and sails are still mostly intact.
This is quite magical. "
"Lord, since my subordinates have lived in an important seaport town since they were young, they are quite familiar with this kind of three-masted warship."
On the other side, Ye Cang pushed his golden eyes again, bowed gracefully and said, "If this subordinate's expectation is good.
This style of three-masted warship is extremely ancient. It uses a hybrid power of wind power and magic power. Its speed and maneuverability are low, which is very different from the current full magic power.
The material used is also the century-old magic oak that has been eliminated long ago.
Although the hull made of this magical wood has good durability and is not easily corroded, its resistance to spells is relatively limited.
Therefore, the current hulls are almost all made of superior elf wood. "
Having said this, Ye Cang paused for a moment and then said: "And the time point when new and old battleships alternated was the blank era three thousand years ago!"
"So, this ship is a product of the blank era three thousand years ago?" Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but show surprise.
There is no doubt that for Lei Xiao.
The mysterious blank era has always been an unsolved mystery that lingers in his mind.
Whether it is the ancient ruins of the light elves, the empty ruins of the ancient battlefield, or the recently obtained Eternal Night Magic Box.
Or maybe it was what Wang Xi mentioned, the disappearance of the chosen son of God, and the lack of favor from the gods.
Everything is so incredible.
“The more I know, the more I feel that something extraordinary, even unbelievable, might have happened during the blank era.
And this ship from before the blank era may be able to help me find some clues. "
Thinking of this, and smelling the faint quaint smell 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, becomes taller and burlier, and exudes an inexplicable aura.
"This thing won't suddenly come to life, will it?"
Feeling a strange aura, Lei Xiao, surrounded by Huzhang and others, curled his lips slightly and continued to look up.
At this time, from this position, Lei Xiao could just see the dull eyes of the metal gryphon.
However, in the next second, a sudden red light suddenly lit up from the metal gryphon's Wushen right eye.
For a moment, the light was like a high-brightness red light bulb, making it difficult to open one's eyes.
Next, under the surprised and alert eyes of Lei Xiao and others.
Although this metal griffon didn't really come to life.
However, something even more incredible happened.
As the red eyes of the metal griffon became brighter and brighter.
Without warning, a strange wave of energy suddenly rippled out from his 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.
At the same time, a thick mist began to rapidly expand around the metal griffon, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire battleship.
Because all this happened in the blink of an eye, 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.
What surprised Lei Xiao and others even more was that the originally mottled battleship actually became brand new again.
At the same time, translucent figures began to change from illusion to reality, and appeared on the open deck one after another. There were busy figures coming and going.
"Lord, it seems that we have entered a sudden illusion."
Just when Lei Xiao saw this.
Chaoyan's crisp voice immediately rang in his ears: "If this subordinate's expectation is good.
On the head of this ship's bow statue, there should be an extremely rare illusion stone inlaid with it, the red light emitted by this object just now.
The function of this illusion stone is to record everything that happened on the ship and re-present it before the energy is exhausted.
Therefore, this illusion is just a recording 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 stone has been reactivated?"
Hearing this, 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."
On the other side, Ye Cang bowed slightly and responded: "Although the energy of this illusion stone was exhausted three thousand years ago.
However, over such a long period of time, perhaps under the influence of the surrounding magic moss, it slowly recovered some energy.
This was finally reactivated by us. "
"I see." Just when Ye Cang said this, Lei Xiao had already opened the attribute bar of the stone.
It was discovered that its function and name were indeed exactly the same as those explained by Chao Yan and Ye Cang.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but show an increasingly curious look on his face, and murmured to himself: "Then let me take a good look at the final stage of this battleship.
What on earth happened? "
