"trade?"
Gao Yi raised his head and looked at the direction where the sound came from: "Interesting! No wonder the Sky Eye is willing to take risks to come. It seems that these strange things at sea should have a conclusion."
With the help of the previous rope, the two of them climbed onto the deck effortlessly. As soon as they appeared, countless eyes fell on them.
There is no lack of curiosity among them, but even more is hostility.
After all, this is not a park or a soda shop on the street. Who hasn’t gone through many twists and turns to get to this point? No one would believe him if he said he didn't have commensurate abilities and ambitions.
In the current situation, the greater the ability of others, the greater the threat. As competitors, they are also potentially powerful enemies. The two sides are as incompatible as water and fire. Now they only respect the wishes of the host. Who doesn’t want to test that? It's just an invisible bottom line.
"Now that everyone is here, is it time to introduce the sun to us?" Ma Tian retracted his gaze and looked at the captain again.
"Then please follow me."
The latter nodded cheerfully, turned sideways, and made an invitation gesture.
"Mr. Gao?"
Seeing that everyone else had left, but Gao Yi remained motionless with a thoughtful expression on his face as if nothing was wrong, Ah Shen couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"sun?"
Gao Yi read it again softly, as if reminiscing.
Suddenly, his expression changed drastically: "Introducing...Taiyang? I'm afraid I'm not going to meet Zhenzhang!"
"let's go."
After catching up with the captain, the group passed through the narrow ropeway and passed dozens of warships. Finally, the main ship located in the center of the entire fleet was already in front of them.
Anyone who sees this battleship at first sight will marvel at its original craftsmanship, which has even exceeded the limits of wooden ships recorded in history. However, despite its grandeur, the details are still ingenious. delicate.
The most eye-catching thing is the sun-like wooden sphere in the center of the deck, which is engraved with patterns like a sea chart. At this time, it is constantly rotating as the hull rises and falls, seeming to be self-calibrating.
"This is the Apocalypse."
Seeing that many people were looking at it intently, the captain then introduced: "Although it looks like a decoration on the outside, in fact, its role is no less than that of any complete nautical chart, and in many cases, it is often more powerful than the sea chart." Pictures are more useful.”
"A complicated compass?"
The little fish man poked Gao Yi beside him. The latter observed for a while and said uncertainly: "The function should be more similar to a compass, but it seems to be more than that. Look at the pointers and the ones on the surface of the sphere. The relief, I suspect it might be able to locate.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the captain really talked about this function and explained: "On the surface, it doesn't take up much space, but in fact, there are still many precision parts working in invisible places. "
"They form an extremely complex transmission method, and the entire frame almost extends from the deck to the bottom of the ship. This ensures the accuracy of each of our voyages."
"That is to say."
Professor Lu was also a little surprised: "As long as we use it, we can now determine our location information?"
"no."
The captain shook his head decisively: "Didn't you notice? It's like a headless fly now, spinning around. In fact, from the moment we were trapped, this thing has malfunctioned. Not only can it not be located, but it has also been lost. The coordinates of my hometown.”
Gao Yi looked at the ball spinning like crazy and was speechless.
"Welcome to No Country, all guests from the outside world."
Not long after, after actually boarding the behemoth No Country, the captain turned around and solemnly welcomed Gao Yi, Tianyan and others.
"For a long time, the Sun has paid great attention to information from the outside world, and from time to time sends trusted subordinates to patrol the surrounding waters to see if there are any ships that have strayed into the foggy sea."
The captain sighed: "Day after day, year after year, I finally wait for you."
"My mission ends here. Everyone, keep moving forward along the carpet. The sun will be waiting for you at the end of the throne."
The captain came aside and motioned for them to move on.
Looking at the carpet in the hall ahead, which was almost submerged in darkness, and the sporadic firelight, everyone couldn't help but swallow.
Someone took out a flashlight and looked at Ma Tian, who also had a hesitant look on his face. He wondered whether using these non-standard tools would offend the king of the previous era.
At this time, there was a faint sound coming from the wind.
Professor Lu couldn't hear it clearly, but Gao Yi saw the translator and his expression changed slightly: "He asked us to come in."
"who?"
Professor Lu looked over.
Although he was not very willing to deal with this guy of unknown origin, the content of this passage could not allow him to ignore it.
Gao Yi glanced at the captain and the nearby crew members, and saw that these people seemed to be petrified, their eyes were looking at their noses, and their noses were looking at their hearts. Several of their faces were downcast, and they were flickered by the firelight in the brazier.
Whoops!
Suddenly there was air coming from behind.
In an instant, the flames in countless braziers jumped up, as if they were connected into a fuse, burning towards the depths of the palace, and finally "detonated", turning into a large trembling fire and light, completely lighting up the internal space. !
"Dignified guests from afar..."
Gao Yi looked at the source of the sound, hoping to catch a glimpse of this living legend. However, his gaze was blocked by a thick curtain, causing his thoughts to stop at the grassroots and ended in vain.
"Why are you so hesitant?"
The sound echoed on the dome of the palace, and everyone walked forward. The deeper they went, the more deafening they became.
"this……"
When Professor Lu came closer, he knew it was time for him to stop, but if he wanted to communicate, he could only bring the paper to him.
He couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"No need to bother."
Seemingly seeing his difficulty, the Sun King comforted him behind the scenes: "Just put the paper in front of you."
A crew member came to Professor Lu and conveyed this information to everyone on paper.
"Then...the great Sun King."
Professor Lu calmed down and asked: "As you promised, we now have several questions that need to be answered. This is related to the transaction between us. I hope you will not refuse."
A low reply came from behind the scenes.
"First of all, it's about the purpose of the voyage. What is the purpose of your voyage? What is its purpose?"
As before, the first question still points directly to the key point - this is the biggest motivation that runs through the beginning and the end.
The hall was quiet for a long time.
Finally, the voice came and was captured by two parties with their own methods.
"To... completely seal something."
"what?"
Professor Lu had beads of sweat falling from his forehead, and he followed up with questions.
There was another period of tortured silence, and then the voice behind the scenes slowly replied: "...the thing that brought you here."
Something that makes you come?
Everyone looked stunned.
Why are you here?
Everything, starting from the sea of fog and working backwards, everyone's memories were invariably fixed on the port of return and the abnormal events that happened there.
"Is it death?"
"It can be said that it is indeed the embodiment and symbol of death——"
The Sun King's voice suddenly became much louder, rumbled and echoed in the palace: "Original skill, [God of Death]." (End of this chapter)
