Chapter 199

"We went down to the warehouse, but we didn't see you until we met on the deck. What were you doing in the middle of the time?" Asked Annie.

"I went to the stern and the woman named Betty told me she had something to show me."

"What's that?" Zhang Hengdao.

"A gift."

"Gifts?"

"She said that she was an ancient Celtic God who controlled the storm on the sea. If I choose to worship her, I can get some divine power from her." Seth hesitated for a moment, some reluctantly took out a shell from his pocket.

Zhang Heng took what was as like as two peas in the size of a thumb, and could not see anything special about it. It was just like other white shells found everywhere on the beach.

However, the system prompt in his ear made him confirm that this is indeed a game prop with supernatural power for the first time.

- Betty's shell (unidentified)

its use can not be judged from its name for the time being. In addition, Zhang Heng also noticed the Celtic ancient god mentioned by Seth.

Celtic mythology is one of the three European mythology systems juxtaposed with Greek mythology and Nordic mythology.

Celtic is not a race strictly speaking. They are a group of ethnic groups mixed together by common culture and language in ancient times. They are the first people to use iron in Europe, and they also have a considerable level of architecture.

Celts originated from the Seine River in eastern France, the upper reaches of the Royal River, the Rhine River in southwest Germany and the upper reaches of the Danube River. They infiltrated and expanded to the whole European continent as tribes and crossed the Alps. They were once everywhere. They were soldiers, merchants, blacksmiths, minstrels and artists. Today, they are France, Spain and Portugal And other places are their activity areas.

Until the rise of the Roman Empire, Caesar occupied the Celtic cultural center of Gaul, killed more than one million Celts, and gradually lost Celtic civilization on the European continent. Many Celtic legends were lost. This is why Celtic myths of later generations are not as famous as Greek mythology and Nordic mythology.

Up to now, the only Celtic mythology that is still well known is probably the story of King Arthur and the sword in the stone.

Zhang Heng is not familiar with Celtic mythology. His father majored in Greek and Nordic mythology in University, while his mother was Christian mythology. When he was a child, he heard more of these three kinds of mythology.

That's why he didn't think much about Betty when he saw her name in the love poems.

"You say she wants you to worship her. What do you do?" Zhang Heng continued.

Seth heard the question with a twinkle in his eyes. "I I don't know. I need to finish the test and find the three notes before she can tell me what to do next. "

"Oh, do you still want to lie at such a time?" Annie's face was not good. The saber was closer to Seth's throat. "Didn't that storm have something to do with you before?"

Zhang Heng said at this time, "I can promise in the name of the captain not to pursue what you have done before, but you must tell me what you have done. You have seen the scene on the Clark ship, and you don't want to cause everyone to lose for your own sake."

Feeling the chill between her neck, Seth did not dare to play any tricks. "I engraved her name in Celtic on the top of the mast of the Jackdaw according to her request, which means that this ship will be sheltered by her from now on, and I asked her, and she said that what happened on the Clark ship was an accident."

"Accident?"

"The people on that ship are too greedy. They have been using her power to summon the storm for so many years. They can sail in that sea area twice as fast as other merchant ships and earn huge profits. But there is a price to do so. Controlling the storm requires the anger from the bottom of their hearts. They lose themselves in the anger and can never escape from the storm. The crew keep the door open The windows are nailed, but you can still hear the thunder and the wind outside. Finally, you can only jump into the sea in despair. "

Zhang Heng is noncommittal, "the last question, how did you contact her? Did you see her appearance?"

"I can't contact her, I can only pray to her, but it's up to her to decide whether to respond or not. After getting off the Clark ship, she only responded to me once, just like before. It's only voice. I've never seen her before."

Seth finish, Sean and Tracy also rushed over, two people don't know what happened, Seth before suddenly left from the second floor, Zhang Heng and Annie in pursuit, two people are confused, but see forced in the corner of Seth, his face showed the color of worry.

Zhang Heng takes a look at Annie. The latter takes back his saber. Zhang Heng says to Seth, "don't gamble on the ship in the future. For the sake of your first offense, you won't be investigated this time. The next time you go to sea, the spoils will be halved."

…………

In order to avoid causing unnecessary panic among the crew, Zhang Heng does not intend to tell others about it.He didn't worry that Seth would talk nonsense. The latter hid Betty's shell and engraved Celtic on the mast, which brought danger to the crew of jackdaw. If he was smart enough, he should keep silent.

Sure enough, Seth didn't say anything, so he acquiesced to gambling.

When the three left, the red haired girl said again, "you don't seem to believe him completely. Do you think he's lying?"

Zhang Heng shook his head, "in this case, the possibility of his lying is very small, but another person may not."

"That Betty?"

"She obviously cheated Seth about the Clark ship. Those who disappeared didn't commit suicide in the sea, at least not all of them, because it can't explain the locked captain's room and the scratch on the bottom cargo hold."

"Can God cheat?"

"It depends on which God is in the mythological system." Zhang Hengdao is not familiar with Celtic mythology system, but he is not unfamiliar with Nordic and Greek gods. The people in them are more powerful mortals than gods, and represented by Zeus, who thinks with his lower body. One lives more than the other wants.

However, this Celtic ancient god named Betty should not be among them. Her style seems to be very cautious. At that time, seven people boarded the Clark ship, but she only chose the lonely Seth whisper. Zhang Heng doesn't know that it's because of her original character and what she is avoiding.
