Pirate Kingship

Among all the exploration ships, the first ones to face the tsunami were naturally the Golden Deer and Lancer, which were closest to Treasure Island.

Wow.

A snow-white water line wrapped around a huge amount of sea water, like thousands of white horses crushing the waves, charging towards them in an instant.

"Full port rudder, switch sides with the wind, and ride that wave."

Byron held the steering wheel tightly and issued the order calmly.

Veteran captains all know that when facing a tsunami, ships at sea must not return to port or dock in a hurry.

Instead, you should head to deep water immediately.

Because tsunamis are long waves, the wavelength traveling in the open sea is very long, but the wave height is very low. The wavelength may be hundreds of kilometers long, but the wave height may be only one or two meters.

At this time, even an adventure ship with a smaller tonnage can forcibly carry it over as long as it turns around and uses its bow to meet the crest of the wave.

Once a tsunami enters the continental shelf, due to the sharp shallowing of the sea water depth and the sudden increase in wave height, it may rapidly increase to 20 to 30 meters of stormy waves, destroying everything in an instant.

Fortunately, this place is originally a deep sea within the Sapphire Sea, with only scattered islands dotting it.

The height of the waves caused by the tsunami was only one meter and two meters.

Although the Golden Deer and Lancer are closest to Treasure Island, they are almost right on the edge of the island, and theoretically face the highest wave heights.

However, the wave crest of only two and a half meters was far from enough to destroy these two excellent warships.

Byron was at the helm himself, and the knight's riding skills were brought to the fullest by him.

As a [Storm Knight] who is only one step away from the third-level [Storm Admiral], he instantly became one with the Golden Deer man and ship.

Even the sea beneath me seems to be breathing with it.

The Golden Deer rode the wind and waves, soared into the sky at the peak of the wave, and landed safely at the trough.

It looks dangerous on the surface, but in fact it has withstood the biggest wave crest like a rock.

"Although as a knight, I instinctively cannot refuse to capture a dream dragon like [Mithril Dragon] to serve as a mount.

But reason tells me that perhaps finding a ghost ship that also has a soul and is equivalent to a different kind of undead creature is the best choice for me as a storm knight. "

The adventurers behind him who dared to come here to try their skills also made the same move.

All of them have at least passed through the dangerous "First Circulation Zone" and gone through all kinds of troubles to obtain the treasure map. None of them is an inexperienced novice.

When the annular tsunami centered on "Treasure Island" struck in all directions, all the sailboats on the sea turned collectively without hesitation, facing the tsunami and conquering it.

The unlucky ones who were killed by this wave of danger were few and far between.

Seeing the dazzling giant island in front of him getting closer and closer, Byron couldn't help but sigh:

“No wonder this island’s appearance lasts more than half a month.

For such a big island, let alone 100% complete exploration.

Even in the vast and dangerous rainforest, walking from the outermost edge to the treasure cave in the center of the island is not something that can be accomplished in three or five days. "

Then he turned to the two pirate ships and ordered:

"Deploy the manpower on the ship and gather together the most elite fifty-man marines.

The [Golden Deer] landed with me, and the [Lancer] joined the [Flaming Rose] who arrived behind and stayed outside to respond.

We learn from each other.

The last time we returned from our adventure in Azik City, we were almost robbed by Barbary pirates on the way.

This time it's our turn to be fishermen.

Of course, if anyone can really come back from this treasure island with a lot of money. "

When he said these last words, Byron's face looked meaningful.

"As you command, Captain."

Without wasting any time, the Golden Deer, which was smaller in size and had a shallower draft, quickly stopped on a white beach that looked relatively flat and glowed with fluorescence.

Lower the sails, lower the anchor, and take some camouflage.

This is also where the Lancaster family adventure team landed 11 years ago.

Byron jumped off the ship with his core pirate officers and elite marines, and took out a treasure map.

Interpret the code words attached to it, and once again emphasize the precautions for this adventure to all crew members:

"Rule 1: Everyone must use two gold coins to bribe the gold-eating ants guarding the beach before they can land on the island. The weight of a gold coin must not be less than 40 grams.

(Most dangers on the island can be cleared with money. As long as you have enough money, you may be able to reach the treasure cave without experiencing any danger.) "

This was not the first time Byron had seen this rule, but he couldn't help but shake his head every time he read it.

“Please close your eyes when it’s dark, and give money if you’re in danger?

Sure enough, even secret realms are snobbish, and having money is no problem, but my only problem now is that I have no money.

After all, if I wasn't short of money, why would I be treasure hunting? "

“Rule 2: You must restrain your greed, know what you want from this island, and know what to choose.

Otherwise, greed will turn your blood to gold.

This rule sounds full of metaphors, like a trick. After all, how can blood be turned into gold? "

"Rule 3: The rainbow light above the island will decrease layer by layer. When the last layer of rainbow light disappears, the island will sink into the sea again.

Waiting for the next prime number of years to reappear. "

"There are obviously more than three rules on the island, but the current progress of exploring the island is too limited, and no one has mastered the method to pass through without injury."

Geologists and astronomers have proved that the world they live in is a huge ball.

But the Church's "Gospel of Creation" compares the material world in which humans live and the overall subconsciousness of humans to a huge ship sailing on the sea of ​​​​source.

There should be many similar worlds.

The source tides and secret knowledge that penetrated into this world from the "gap between the planks" have created a variety of extraordinary powers.

Unlike the world without magic, no one dares to say that the church's mystical theory is wrong.

On the contrary, after the adventurers left the scope of the old continent and set sail, more and more discoveries proved the correctness of this theory.

And the reason why many secret realms, restricted areas and special areas were formed is because the gap between the material world and the sea of ​​​​source is accidentally opened.

As a result, in a relatively closed area, not only various bizarre existences in human history and fantasy have appeared.

Just like those weird evil spirits, because of the confrontation between divinity and animality, order and chaos, various strange taboos have been produced.

Only by strictly abiding by the corresponding rules can you be relatively less likely to die.

The [Adventurers] of the Wilderness Sequence, the [Naturalists] and [Prophet] of the Tower Sequence are the best at deciphering the secret realm.

Usually, they can directly interpret some shallow rules from the air after entering the secret realm.

Of course, the deciphering effect of the core ability of the logbook [Echoes of History] will never be inferior to any deciphering expert.

Not only that, the treasure map in Byron's hand has one more sentence than others:

"Warning, when you hear the sound of cicadas in your ears, no matter how tempting the treasure in front of you is, you must evacuate at the first time."

This is also the information sent back by the Lancaster family's expedition team at the last moment of the annihilation.

This means that there is probably an enemy on this island that even the third-level extraordinary people can hardly resist, which led to their death.

Byron silently chewed on a few rules:

"Cicada chirping? What does it mean?"

At this time, Bruch, who was standing beside him, suddenly pulled his sleeve and winked at the lush mangroves with a solemn face.

Byron looked up and saw a crooked mast standing in the shade of the forest, covered with moss, and a tattered flag with only half of it left on the top was still fluttering in the wind.

Even though it was no different from a rag, Byron recognized it at a glance. It was the red rose emblem of the Lancaster family!

At this time, the decoding density of [Secret: The Mystery of the Wealth Growth of Treasure Island, Historical Influence 29] also quietly increased from 18% to 25%.
