At the end of the underground cave illuminated by the magical colorful moss.
Leo Ray looked at the giant tri-masted warship in front of him, which was the size of a luxury cruise ship, with undisguised astonishment on his face.
“I thought the vast underground cave was magical enough, but I never expected to find such a colossal thing hidden here.”
With a mixture of awe and curiosity, Leo Ray stood on a flat rocky slope and carefully observed the warship from above.
From his vantage point, he could take in the entire giant ship.
The first thing he noticed on the wooden ship was the three tall masts distributed on the front, middle, and back of the ship.
Each of the masts was about twenty or thirty meters high, especially the one in the middle, which was extremely thick and had a lookout platform on top.
Moreover, each mast had a giant black sail attached to it, like huge black curtains hanging silently in mid-air.
What’s worth mentioning is that these black sails were covered in a thick layer of dust and had holes of varying sizes corroded by time.
“It seems that this ship has been docked here for a long time.”
Noticing this, Leo Ray shifted his gaze downward to continue observing.
The next thing he saw was the ship’s patchy open deck.
The majority of the deck’s surface was covered in various magical mosses, emitting a faint glow, adding to the ship’s sense of ancient vicissitudes.
Additionally, on either side of the hull, Leo Ray spotted rows of neatly arranged cannons, which indicated the ship’s formidable firepower.
However, the most eye-catching part was the sharp front of the deck.
There stood a gigantic bronze statue of a creature with the body and claws of a lion but with the head and wings of an eagle.
Upon closer examination, a huge broken claw was held in the beak of the mythical creature, which seemed to be standing proudly and defiantly.
Although the statue was covered in rust and patina, its majestic and imposing figure from years gone by was still evident.
Just as Leo Ray caught sight of this, Scarlett approached with curiosity.
“Lord, the griffin figurehead grasping the dragon’s claw is quite unique, isn’t it?” she asked.
“So it is. A griffin holding a dragon’s claw?” Leo Ray mused and nodded thoughtfully.
After getting to know this world for a while, he understood deeply that although griffins belonged to formidable demon beasts, they were far from being on the same level as the dragon clan, who stood at the top of the power hierarchy.
“Fighting giant dragons with the power of a griffin? It seems the owner of this ship has quite an idea.” Leo Ray raised his eyebrows in speculation.
On the other hand, Myla, standing in the back row with her petite figure, leaned forward on tiptoes with a surprised expression, whispering to herself, “Amazing… I never thought I’d see a gigantic warship here…”
“The key question is, why was this warship parked here?” After staring blankly for a while, Quinn Serena, her face full of confusion, asked.
“Yes, you know, we’re in a region full of mountain ranges.” Gabriel Jordan, looking at the huge patchy object in front of him, couldn’t help but swallow his saliva and marvel.
“Lord, they are right,” Abigail said, as she steadied her gaze and took her eyes off the ancient warship for a moment.
Abigail walked up to Leo Ray and said worriedly, “Coldflame Kingdom is an inland nation with no coastline. Our few inland waterways are far away from here. Therefore, it’s indeed unusual for a large warship to appear here.”
“That’s right, Lord, how did this huge warship get here?” Scarlett, still puzzled, blinked her big eyes and added, “From what we’ve seen so far, it’s impossible for such a large warship to enter this place.”
“Could it be possible that there are other entrances and exits to this underground cave?” Quinn Serena suggested thoughtfully after pondering for a moment.
“Gideon, take a look around.” Leo Ray, signaling for everyone to calm down, nodded at the muscular priest next to him.
“Yes, Lord!” With a flash of his body and the fluttering of his magical wings, Gideon Black transformed into a meteor with a dark golden tail and disappeared in front of everyone.
A short while later, Gideon reappeared in front of Leo Ray, with the wind blowing gently, and reported, “Lord, apart from the passage we came from, there are solid walls on all three sides, with no other entrances.”
“What? How could this be?” Quinn Serena’s delicate face was full of confusion and amazement. “Then how did this warship get here?”
