With that in mind, Leo Ray nodded towards Quinn Serena and the others, who had just jumped onto the ship from a huge rock parallel to the open deck, indicating that they would distribute the items later.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he easily collected all the Magic Cannons that had just been removed from their fixed positions by Taylor and his subordinates.
On the other side, Quinn Serena and the others, who were panting, naturally had no objections and quickly nodded in agreement.
To them, these ancient cannons, which looked very heavy, were undoubtedly useless.
Let alone dragging them all the way back, it would be better to ask Boss Shawn Sands to exchange them for some useful weapons and equipment later on.
So, after collecting a total of 20 Tier Second fire-attribute magic cannons waiting to be repaired on both sides of the ship’s hull.
Satisfied, Leo Ray continued to stroll on the creaking wooden open deck while he couldn’t help but show a pondering expression: “According to the attributes of the Magic Cannons, this colossal ship seems to have been here for thousands of years, but the deck and sails are mostly intact.
This is quite amazing.”
“My Lord, having grown up in a seaport town, I am quite familiar with tri-mast warships like this,” said Gideon Black as he pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and bowed gracefully. “As far as I know, the design of this tri-mast warship is very old.
It uses a mix of wind and magic power, with low speed and maneuverability, which is far from the all-magic power currently used. The material used here is the already obsolete Hundred-Year Magic Oak.
Although the durability of a ship made of this magic wood is excellent and not easily corroded by seawater, its resistance to magic spells is somewhat limited.
Therefore, the ship’s body is currently made of a much superior material called Elf Wood.”
At this point, Gideon Black paused and continued, “And the time when old warships were replaced with new ones was right at the Blank Era three thousand years ago!”
“So this ship is a product of the time before the Blank Era 3000 years ago?” Leo Ray couldn’t help but show a surprised expression upon hearing this.
There was no doubt that for Leo Ray,
The mysterious Era of Blankness had always been an unresolved mystery lingering in his mind.
Be it the ancient relics of the Light Elf Race, the empty ancient battlefield, the recently acquired Eternal Night Magic Box,
Or the disappearance of the Chosen Son of God mentioned by King West and the gods’ withdrawal of their favor,
Each event was incredibly unbelievable.
“The more I know about it, the more I believe that during the Era of Blankness, some incredible and even unbelievable things may have happened.
And this ship, coming from before the Era of Blankness, might help me find some clues.”
With that thought, Leo Ray took a deep breath, inhaling the faint ancient scent of the ship, and took another step forward, walking towards the Griffin figurehead at the bow of the ship.
As he got closer, Leo Ray noted that the metal Gryphon figurehead, holding a dragon claw and standing more than five meters high, looked even more enormous and imposing up close, emanating an indescribable aura.
“This thing won’t suddenly come to life, will it?”
Feeling the somewhat unusual aura and surrounded by Taylor and his companions, Leo Ray pursed his lips and continued to look up.
At that position, Leo Ray could get a perfect view of the weathered and verdigris-covered face of the metal Gryphon.
However, in the next second, a mysterious red light suddenly lit up in the right eye of the metal Gryphon.
For a moment, the bright light was like a high-intensity red light bulb, making it difficult for anyone to keep their eyes open.
Next, under the astonished and vigilant gaze of Leo Ray and the others.Although this metal griffin did not truly come to life,
something even more unbelievable happened.
As the metal griffin’s red eyes grew brighter,
an unusual energy fluctuation suddenly emerged from its eye area without warning.
At this moment, Leo Ray, who was surrounded by Taylor and others, noticed that
the enormous body of the metal griffin began to blur and become illusory.
At the same time, a thick fog followed with the metal griffin as its center, quickly spreading around. In the blink of an eye, the entire warship was enveloped.
Since all this happened in a flash, it was just when Leo Ray was embraced by Taylor after a long absence, preparing to leave this place first.
The foggy scenes around became clear again.
What appeared in front of everyone was an endless ocean.
Under the bright sunlight, the azure sky was boundless.
From time to time, flocks of white seagulls flew across the sky, making “cooing” sounds.
What astonished Leo Ray and others was that the original mottled warship had become completely renewed.
Especially the giant griffin figurehead in front of them, shining brilliantly under the splendid sunlight just as Leo Ray had anticipated.
Like a guardian, its shiny ancient bronze metal body was radiating dazzling light.
Meanwhile, one by one, semi-transparent figures began to transform from illusory to real, successively appearing on the open deck, all looking busy.
“My Lord, it seems that we have fallen into a sudden illusion.”
Just as Leo Ray saw this,
Scarlett’s crisp voice rang in his ear, “If my subordinate is correct,
the head of this figurehead should be inlaid with a very rare Illusion Crystal, and it was the red light emitted by this object just now.
The effect of this Illusion Crystal is to record everything that happened on this ship before its energy is exhausted and present it again.
Therefore, this illusion is just a record-type illusion and has no danger.”
As Scarlett said this, Gideon Black on the side also nodded in agreement with her opinion.
“So, it’s because of our arrival that the Illusion Crystal has been reactivated?”
Hearing this, Leo Ray landed lightly from Taylor’s embrace, showing a thoughtful expression.
“My Lord, that’s exactly the case.”
On the other side, Gideon Black slightly bowed and responded, “According to my guesses, although the energy of the Illusion Crystal should have been exhausted three thousand years ago,
however, over the long years, perhaps due to the influence of the surrounding Magic Moss, it has slowly recovered some energy.
And that’s why it was finally reactivated by us.”
“I see.” As Gideon Black said this, Leo Ray had already opened the attribute column of that crystal.
He found that its name and function were indeed exactly the same as described by Scarlett and Gideon Black.
Seeing this, Leo Ray’s face revealed an increasingly curious expression, murmuring to himself, “Well then, let me take a good look at what exactly happened
during the final stages of this warship.”
