Open the book and look at it. This book records a disappeared nation. The book draws a lot of buildings left by this nation. These buildings feel like the Mayan civilization of previous generations to sulun.
The same worship of blood sacrifice, buildings of the same style and gods. In front of the book, there is a strange totem column painted with an unnamed God. The whole totem column is covered with blood. In many places, blood seems to have penetrated into it. Under the totem column are countless slain slaves.
These slaves were beheaded and their blood flowed on the pyramid. The gaps of the pyramid seemed to have been filled with blood. Under the pyramid, a large number of people dressed like primitive people were kneeling down.
The symbol of wind and rain is also on the totem pole, which means that they believe in a rain god. Rain God has no written records on other continents, but he is revered in this civilization. He symbolizes this harvest. From ancient times until now, people have always been in awe of the gods in charge of harvest.
Sulun didn't catch a cold for these gods, and the consequences of these gods who received blood sacrifice were not very good. According to the division of the arcane Empire, these gods belong to natural gods, originally there was no good or evil, and they are very vulnerable to the influence of believers. These gods have a great chance to eventually become evil gods.
Now the gods recorded in these libraries may have become evil gods. In addition to these materials, there are also records of many disasters and various monsters in ancient times. After reading some more, Su Lun found that these monsters seemed to be those ancient evil things sealed.
It seems that although these mortals do not know the origin of those monsters, it does not prevent them from recording these disasters. However, these records have now been regarded as fairy tales by ordinary people. Su Lun still gets a lot of useful information from these stories, such as where these monsters were killed or defeated. Combined with the map, it is easy to find the approximate location of these monsters sealed.
Besides these, we can also find many relics of ancient cities, but we don't know what remains of these relics after thousands of years.
Because the main purpose of coming to the east continent this time is to open up new channels and trade, Su Lun did not go to these places to look for. Sometimes it depends on luck to search for relics. If you are lucky, just dig a pit. If you are unlucky, it will take a year and a half.
After staying in the library for two days, the fleet also completed the transaction during this period, and was loaded with all kinds of goods from Yancheng port to return.
Most of the goods purchased from the eastern mainland this time are tea, cotton, silk, porcelain, spices, pearls and some demonized materials. According to the calculation of the caravan manager, the revenue of the fleet is about 200000 to 250000 ginals.
Originally, Hathaway wanted to buy a large number of mackerel beads, but there was no mackerel life here in Yancheng port, and mackerel beads were not produced. Only a small amount of mackerel beads were produced further south of the mainland. After all, there are too few people in this race.
Due to the hydrological environment and other factors in the eastern continent, pearls are abundant here, and the quality is better than that in the western continent. Although mackerel pearls were not bought, a large number of pearls were purchased this time, and some of them were demonized pearls. Medium and low quality enchanted pearls can purify some potions, prevent side effects in potions, or neutralize toxins. High quality enchanted pearls can be used to make enchanted items, extraordinary equipment and store spells. They are very popular with wizards.
There are also many silk fabrics in the eastern continent, which is also the best place of origin of silk fabrics besides elves. After all, the forest of elves has been closed for more than 1000 years, the number of semi elves is too small, and the output of silk is also limited. Many silk were sold from the eastern continent, and of course some were sold by the drow elves in the underground world.
However, drow elves often sell silk stockings. Almost all nobles are crazy about it. Even those witches can't resist the temptation of silk stockings. It's expensive. On the surface, the surface world is very hostile to the drow elves and claims to cut off all trade with them, but most of them are just talking. It's easy to know whether they trade with the underground world. Just look at whether those women wear silk stockings.
In addition to these, five of the people who came this time stayed in Yancheng port to build a warehouse. The warehouse will purchase the materials of Yancheng steel and sell all kinds of materials in Zhenbei city. The paper, Amethyst honey and sugar in Zhenbei city are very popular here. The sales of vodka can only be said to be average, but the sales of rum are good.
Amethyst honey is the most popular. The wizard organization here in Yancheng lake directly said that it wanted to buy all the Amethyst honey. Although Su Lun was excited, he still refused them. After all, the warehouse built in Salt Lake City still needs money and honey to make a name for itself.
There are still many advantages to build a warehouse in the salt lake port. When the fleet arrives again, it will be directly transported back to the mainland, which can save a lot of time and collect intelligence from the eastern continent.
It took several days for the fleet to set sail again after completing supplies. This time, in addition to the three ships in the deep water city, Yancheng port also sent two armed merchant ships to follow. These people went to the deep water city for trading, and also planned to build a warehouse in the deep water port.
The return journey is slower than before. After all, it was downwind. Now it has become upwind. Fortunately, the sailing technology in this era is very good. It can sail against the wind, but the return time is much slower than downwind.
The five ships were lucky this time. They didn't encounter those shahuayu people. It may also be that they suffered heavy losses in the last battle and couldn't continue to live here. Shahuayu people also have many enemies in the sea. Once they decline, their enemies will not miss this good opportunity.
There are also a large number of intelligent races living in the ocean, such as koutao fish people, mermaids, Naga sea people, shahua fish people, sea demons, etc. these races are not very friendly and harmonious. Moreover, in the depths of the ocean, there are some terrible sea monsters, and even Dagon's descendants.
Dagon is also a very dangerous creature. Even the gods are afraid of him.
He represents evil, chaos, madness and blasphemy. It is said that his existence can be traced back to the ancient god period. He is a very powerful evil creature and one of the most powerful demon Lords. He is known as the king of the deep sea, the God of sea monsters and the shadow of the ocean. He is the mortal enemy of the sea god.
Dagon's name is not invariable. According to the research of wizards, Dagon originated from an ancient god. This name is more like a title. Only the most powerful of them can be called Dagon.
It looks like a creature mixed with fish, molluscs and sea eels. Although Dagon is evil, chaotic and very dangerous, there are still his cults in the coastal area. Many pirates believe in this creature. It is said that a pirate leader has won his favor, become his family member, gained strong power and the ability to command sea monsters, However, this ability costs a lot. Dagon's power will change human appearance and become close to sea monsters.
For example, they grow tentacles like octopus, or shells of mollusks, sharp claws and so on. And because he accepted Dagon's power, he would be rejected by other gods. He could no longer land and could only drift in the ocean forever.
However, even so, some people are still willing to accept it, and on many overseas islands, many indigenous savages still worship Dagon as a God, which has even lasted for thousands of years.
The current Dagon lives in the dark sea of the bottomless abyss. The records left by the wizard record this powerful demon lord. Some aborigines will mate with other creatures (mainly mud giants and semi fish creatures) in order to obtain rich catches and treasures. They believe that this ritual can give their offspring great power.
Of course, not all sea monsters believe in Dagon. Ancient arcane masters studied and classified sea monsters, which can be roughly divided into several types.
The third is the multi headed system, of which the most representative is Hydra, which is usually the servant of the sea goddess. The fourth kind of sea monster is the dinosaur family. This kind of marine monster comes from the father of dinosaurs. This powerful God specially created a kind of monster in order to expand his power into the ocean. This monster is also called divine sin.
The fleet repaired and replenished some water on the islands previously marked by sulun, and then continued to sail towards the deep-water port. Sulun has decided to send someone to set up transfer stations on the islands here to provide water and food for the fleet and shelter the ships from the storm. After all, apart from pirates and sea monsters, the biggest risk of sea navigation is sea disasters such as Trek and storm.
With these islands, at least in the event of a storm, they can provide a safe haven for the fleet and reduce the occurrence of maritime disasters. This is very important for maritime trade. In this era, there is almost one-fifth chance of losing the world. Every time we go to sea, we basically prepare for the worst. Sailors in this era are brave.
All the way back to the deep-water port smoothly. At this time, it has been more than two months since the fleet left, and earth shaking changes have taken place in the deep-water city.
