Chapter 801: Records of Far Sea Exploration

Do you feel like you are cornered?

Gawain didn't speak for a while.

But he can probably understand what Selina means, and he can understand those who survived the great impact seven hundred years ago, struggled in the shadow of madness and mutation, had their spiritual pillars completely collapsed, and could not even return to civilization. The mentality of the world’s priests.

Just like the last moment before he traveled, when the plane gradually disintegrated; just like when he came to this world and was trapped in the sky from the perspective of a satellite for countless years. In that situation, if anyone gives him any slim hope, even without any promise or evidence, he will be tempted involuntarily, just like a drowning person will subconsciously grab the straw floating around him.

What's more, those priests and believers back then were still suffering from both mental and soul pollution and torture, and their judgment and willpower themselves had been reduced to the lowest point.

Gawain Cecil, who returned from the Peak of the Ancestors and claimed to have found a way out and was willing to help, was the last straw for them.

The emotions in his heart rose and fell, and finally turned into an unspoken sigh. Gawain nodded: "I can understand your choice at that time."

At the same time, he I also guessed the truth that Selina mentioned that Gawain Cecil suddenly showed some kind of "insight" ability seven hundred years ago -

That is obviously related to the monitoring satellites in the sky!

In this way, even if he didn't know what Gawain Cecil discovered on the Peak of the Ancestors, he could roughly guess that the discovery must be related to the satellite array in the sky.

While thinking, Gawain looked into Selina Gerfen's eyes: "Did you go to sea with Gawain Cecil?"

"A certain angle It seems... that's it," Selena nodded. "As a soul, I couldn't really follow them on the voyage, but I left a spiritual imprint on the Storm Priests who were in the team at that time, which can be used in The protection of their minds from the pollution of the gods also allows me to 'see' them. In this way, although I cannot act independently as a 'human being', I can still be considered a member of the exploration team."

Sai. As expected, Lina also participated in the subsequent exploration operations!

Gawain felt that his heartbeat suddenly accelerated by half a beat. He maintained his apparent calmness and asked in a deep voice: "What exactly did you find in the Endless Sea?"

"At first, it was just a normal voyage. After leaving the land, we entered a world dominated by storms and chaotic magic. However, the storm priests used their remaining power and deep understanding of the ocean to continuously plan a safe route. We bypassed the storm gathering area and magic turbulence, and headed deeper into the eastern sea.

" In the process, we also passed through several colonial islands of the Typhon people - at that time, the Church of Storms had collapsed, and there were only a few powerful priests serving the military who could barely maintain their rationality.Wisdom, the normal sea access is about to be cut off, and the Typhons are seizing the time to evacuate...

"When they were about to cross the most fringe colonial island of the Typhons, Earl Dyson, who controlled that island, sent A clipper ship tried to dissuade us. He said that there was a growing storm in the open sea, and the sky was becoming extremely abnormal. Challenging the open sea at this moment was tantamount to suicide, but we ignored it...

"We have entered the distant sea that humans have never visited, and entered a completely unfamiliar sea area without any chart markings. The Storm Priests can no longer provide navigation on the route, and can only use their perception of storms and magic to help the team avoid danger. . Gawain Cecil instructed us to continue heading east, and then turn south after passing through a sea area full of cyclones and magical whirlpools - it was his first time going to sea, but he seemed to already know where the destination was. His goal was so clear that it greatly alleviated the team's uneasiness.

“But on the thirty-second day of the voyage, an accident still happened.

“First, the storm priests on the ship suddenly fell into a nightmare. In the confusion and trance, terrible things happened to some people. He even jumped into the sea and was swallowed by the waves. Half of the priests died. The remaining priests who barely remained sane also became hysterical. Several more determined storm priests said that we were 'sailing above God's nightmare' , and "the terrible power of the deep sea has noticed the arrival of the blasphemer and will devour everyone." They recommended that the ship leave the current sea area immediately, but when the sailors were about to do so, they found that the ocean had "imprisoned the entire ship" 'In place, waves with mysterious power came one after another, preventing the ship from leaving. "

Sailing above God's nightmare...

Gawain repeated the words Selina mentioned in his mind, vaguely guessing where the exploration team had arrived -< /p>

Above the corpse of the Lord of Storms!

"That's probably the closest the storm believers have come to their god..." Gawain shook his head with a subtle expression, " What happened next? "

Selena vaguely sensed from Gawain's attitude that the other party might know some secrets at the divine level, but she did not ask further questions, but continued: "We were attacked by ocean forces, and the ship It was seriously damaged in the storm, but when the situation was most critical, unexpected help appeared. "

Gawain raised his eyelids: "Is it a sea monster? "

"It's the sea monsters," Selina took a deep look at Gawain and nodded gently, "They suddenly appeared from the waves and calmed the whole world with some power that we can't understand. A sea area..."

Gawain instantly realized why the other party looked at him meaningfully when he mentioned the Kraken - because there was a Kraken living in Cecil City. !

The existence of Tyr is not a secret, and it has been made public long before the forces of the Eversleepers were expelled from the empire on a large scale. Selina obviously knew about the existence between Cecil and the Siren. "alliance" relationship,The foundation of this alliance can completely fall on the head of the "outside wanderers". Seven hundred years ago, Gawain Cecil and others encountered danger when they went to sea. The one who came to help was also a sea monster, and Gawain Cecil It seems that your purpose of going to sea at that time was to reach a certain deal with the "outside wanderers"...

It seems that many clues can be matched by this back and forth.

But only Gawain knew that there was really no connection between them - those sea monsters acted haphazardly. God knows what they were thinking at the time. The sea monster in the territory simply swam when they went home. On the contrary, those who got lost have nothing to do with any ancient covenant...

But it was troublesome to explain these things, so he did not interrupt Selina's story and listened to the other party continue:

p>

“The Siren helped the exploration team resolve the crisis and rescued some of the crew members. They also said some very strange words, saying that we disturbed their eating and disturbed their food...

“He described a tower that was very huge, as if it connected the sky and the earth, and had been standing in the world since ancient times.

“The crew members all felt incredible. I dare to imagine that such a thing exists in the world, but the Sirens seemed a little excited after hearing Gawain Cecil's description - they knew the existence of that tower, and seemed to have dealt with it, so they were a little afraid of it. .

"After some negotiations, several bold sirens finally agreed to Gawain Cecil's request and became the guides of the exploration team. They said they could not take the team to the tower, but they could Take us nearby and in the right direction.

“Our boat made some temporary repairs and then continued to set sail, led by the Siren Guide, and began to sail toward the southeast.

"Thanks to the help of the sea monster, the waves began to assist us. We sailed very fast, and soon arrived at the edge of a...continent."

Gawain Originally just listening quietly, his eyes suddenly widened: "Continent? Did you just say 'mainland'?!"

"Yes, a continent, not an island. I'm pretty sure, we I saw a very long coastline and strange birds flying from the land. ”

A new continent! A land Gawain had never heard of! It is located in the southeast of Loren continent, deep in the endless sea!

Gawain couldn't help but outline in his mind the distribution of the land and oceans of the planet that could be inferred so far. The information he had so far gradually gathered into a picture with a rough outline. Taking into account the information he just got from Selina, he outlined four continents in his mind - Lorenta, which is inhabited by many intelligent races such as humans and is located in the northern part of the equator.Continent;

Talond, which may be located just north of the Loren continent and ruled by dragons;

According to Tire, Tallond, which is located just east of the Loren continent and is ruled by dragons. The continent of Io ruled by the Kraken;

In addition, as Selena just mentioned, you need to sail from the east and then sail south to reach it. It is located deep in the Endless Sea and southeast of the Loren continent. of the New World.

He once again realized how narrow and closed the land that humans live on was, and once again aroused a strong desire to explore the ocean.

As of now, there are already three known lands on the planet that humans have never visited. He is really curious whether there are more areas in this world that humans don't know about...

With curiosity about the New World, Gawain controlled his excitement and continued to ask: "Which New World have you explored? What is on that continent?"

Selena The answer poured cold water on him: "I don't know, only Gawain Cecil went deep into the land - all the other sailors and priests stayed on the coast."

Gao Wen frowned: "Why?"

"There are guards on land. They have existed since ancient times and are still functioning today," Selina said slowly. "In fact, there are also guards in the oceans around the land. There are guards, but those guards are relatively easy to deal with. As long as you don't actively provoke them, you won't be attacked, but those on land...are particularly hostile.

"The crew members and priests in the exploration team are already. They are the elites in the mortal world, and there are even high-level extraordinary beings. But in front of those guards, the power of mortals still seems too weak. What's more, the number of those guards seems to far exceed our team - the entire New World is with them. Under their control, their origin is unknown and they seem endless. The exploration team cannot penetrate deep into the land at all.

"But the strange thing is that those guards will not attack Gawain Cecil."

Gawain frowned: "They will not attack Gawain Cecil." ?"

After calling himself "Gawain Cecil" for a long time, he always felt a little awkward when talking to Selena today...

Selena Then he reaffirmed his statement: "Yes, this was confirmed after the first contact with the guards on that continent."

"Those guards will actively attack anyone who enters their warning range. Everyone except Gawain Cecil.

“At that time, a member of the exploration team asked about this matter, but he said that he did not know the specific reason.”

“So, in the end, only Gawain Cecil One person went deep into the New World, and judging from the results, he should have found what he was looking for..." Gawain frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "Interesting... It turns out that these crucial memories have been erased. Now..."

As he said that, he looked at Selina Gerfen.

“If I’m not mistaken, you probably don’t know him either.The specific experiences after leaving the team and going to the depths of the continent alone, because these contents are also 'dangerous'. "

"Someone in the team asked, but he didn't say anything," Selina replied, confirming Gawain's statement, "I can only tell you the part I know:< /p>

“Before he set off, he told others to wait in a safe area on the coast for half a month. If he had not returned after half a month, everyone should stop waiting and leave the continent immediately;

“He returned on the 21st day, tired and excited when he returned, obviously having achieved his goal.

"He told everyone that he had conducted a soul transaction, and that this transaction could be exchanged for an 'opportunity', but he did not disclose more details of the transaction to anyone at the time."

Gawain looked at Selina: "But you know more inside information, you know the existence of me, the 'outside wanderer'."

"Yes, because he put part of the content Told me alone."
