Chapter 592
About seventy nautical miles west of Blackwater Island, a fishing boat slowly headed for uncharted waters.
On the side of the ship, in addition to the busy sailors and fishermen, there were two figures standing on the bow of the boat, a man and a woman.
"Where are we going?" The petite girl asked the tall man.
The man looked down at the chart in his hand and nodded at the destination marked by the red circle at the end of the dotted line, "This is where we are going." ”
The girl frowned slightly, "So that's what you're ultimately aiming for?" From the beginning, you weren't there to investigate the shadows behind the so-called Blackwater Island. ”
The man smiled noncommittally, "I have nothing to do with them, so why bother with their affairs?" Helping Margaret get Fuller and the Hawkins out is already my greatest sincerity. ”
That's right, these two people are Edwin and the bee-eater manipulation, after the extinct volcano, Margaret set out to catch the traitor, and the two also left in time, without the previous half of the greeting, a little goodbye.
"But it's far from over..."
Edwin interrupted what the bee-eater was about to say, "What's the matter?" That's a matter of Blackwater Island, it has nothing to do with me, and I have already given Margaret the greatest help, she can settle the matter after that if she has a little ability. I'm not obligated to help her protect Blackwater. ”
The bee-eating gym opened her mouth, but after all, she still didn't continue to persuade her, the reason why she said this was also because she got along well with Margaret, in line with the idea of wanting to help her friend, but Edwin didn't think so, even if he said it ruthlessly, but it was not unreasonable.
After all, she and Edwin are just passers-by on Blackwater Island, and Margaret has met each other, and the two have helped her a lot, and it can be said that they owe each other a lot.
Edwin's appetite for bee-eating analysis made Edwin save his tongue, and his heart was much better for her senses, and intelligent women were always likeable.
"I've always wondered what your purpose in coming to England is, really to make a deal with the Puritan archbishop, as you said before?"
It is only now when the two of them can have a calm conversation, Bee Eater Cao Xi asked the doubts in her heart, she followed Edwin all the way from the school city to London and came here, to say that she was not curious about what he was going to do It was false, but she had never had a chance to ask before, and now Edwin's attitude towards her seems to be much better, not at this time, and when to ask?
Before, Edwin might not have told Bee Eater what he was going to do, but now that he was about to achieve his goal, he was in a much better mood, so he was naturally happy to share his pleasure a little, "The academy city believes in the power of technology, but I believe that your academy's library should also have books about mystery books, right?" ”
Bee-eating analysis nodded, "Although there is a natural conflict between the scientific side and the mysterious side, it does not prevent us from learning about the mysterious side, and there are a lot of things about the mysterious side in several libraries. But why do you ask this? That doesn't seem to have anything to do with the question I asked you, right? ”
"Naturally, if you've read books about the mystical side, have you ever heard of a book called the Necronomicon?"
Hearing the Book of Necronomicony, the bee-eater began to recall the mysterious side books she had come into contact with, and it didn't take a moment to see her eyes wide open, and she looked at Edwin with a shocked face, "Could it be..."
Edwin nodded slightly, "That's what I'm here for." ”
Hearing Edwin's admission, the beeeater smiled bitterly and couldn't help but wonder, "Does the Necronomicon really exist?" Isn't that just a legend? ”
Even if it is unheard of, for the few books on the mysterious side that are regarded as classics and great power, basically anyone who claims to be knowledgeable can know a thing or two, among the many ancient books, the most mysterious and the most sought after are the three classics: the Book of Necronomicon, the Book of Mysteries and the Dead Sea Papers, which can almost be said to be all-encompassing, including all origins, systems, and even more mysterious powers and spells sought after by countless magicians.
However, as time passed, these ancient books gradually disappeared, and although some of them appeared like manuscripts, they had no power or even mutilation. It is also with the passage of time that the existence of those who know the power of these books on the mysterious side gradually disappears, and these books have naturally become legends, and even now some people think that these are just the fabrication of the predecessors, without the slightest logic at all.
Logic? That's what the scientific side is pursuing, and it's ridiculous that even the mysterious side of the people have begun to pursue logic, knowing that the existence of supernatural forces itself is illogical, and if you insist on putting a layer of logic on it, unless you go back to the deepest depths of the universe and understand the beginning and the end.
"If it doesn't exist, why should I bother to find it? Everything we encountered on Blackwater Island came from that book. Edwin said, a flash of fire in his eyes, as long as he obtained the Necronomicon and mastered its power, it would be easy to subdue the Supreme Bishop.
Hearing what Edwin said with such certainty, the bee-eating analysis was also quite eager to see what the Necronomicon was like. Even though she believes in science, what she has seen and heard along the way has also opened her eyes, and she thought that those mysterious books and records were just myths and legends made up by her predecessors.
After she goes back, she will share these observations with her friends, so that they can also increase their knowledge, don't always blindly work behind closed doors, the world is so big, you should go out and see more.
The time came to three o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was clear, the blue sea was slightly waved, and it could be described as calm and calm.
However, as the route of the voyage has completely overlapped with the chart, a gray dark cloud can be faintly seen in the distance in the sea area entered, and the waves gradually became calmer.
As the rocking of the fishing boat gradually increased, the sailors began to handle the sails and release the cables, and in the event of a storm at sea, it was important not to open the sails, which would only cause the mast to break and become trapped here and drift with the current.
As the endless darkness swallowed the sky and the sea, violent winds and waves nearly overturned the fishing boat several times.
At this moment, the bee-eating analysis couldn't help but tremble a little, even she, a lv5 superpower, seemed very small in the face of the great power of nature.
However, Edwin was not surprised by this situation, and from Charlie Hawkins, he learned that the two couples had also arrived at their destination under a similar storm, which showed that he was getting closer to his destination.
The sudden appearance of the storm in front of them is most likely a guardianship mechanism to prevent people from entering the island, and the Hawkins were able to reach the island unharmed, on the one hand, it must be said that on the one hand, it is due to luck, and on the other hand, it may be that they were chosen by the Book of Necrons.
"Now, the storm is getting bigger and bigger, and my fishing boat can't stand it at all, and I'm afraid that it won't be long before we will be killed in the belly of the fish, so my advice is to return to the ship now."
"I'll pay you tenfold and keep your fishing boat safe."
Hearing the tenfold reward, a trace of fierce struggle flashed in the captain's eyes, and finally gritted his teeth, and the interests finally prevailed over reason, although I don't know why Edwin would say that he could guarantee that his fishing boat would be safe and sound, but now he can't care so much.
When the captain left, the bee-eater who heard the conversation between the two couldn't help but be stunned, "You still want to go?" ”
"It's already close, why not go? I was just one step away from getting what I wanted, and now it's absolutely impossible for me to give up! ”
"But..."The bee-eater didn't want to say a discouraged word, although Edwin was strong, but how could he defeat the forces of nature? Unless he is God.
"Okay, I've made up my mind, don't persuade me anymore!"
Under the power of heaven and earth, human beings are insignificant, and how can a fishing boat that is not very strong withstand the swallowing of the monstrous waves?
When the huge waves hit in the distance, everyone on the ship felt desperate for a while, everyone thought that they had no chance of surviving, but the truth was beyond their expectations.
When the waves came, the sea in front of them suddenly split in two, leaving a way for the fishing boats to survive, and the hope brought by the desperate survival could not help but make them thank the gods of the sea.
And only the bee-eating analysis knows that everything in front of her is done by this guy next to her, in addition to shock or shock in her eyes, can humans really do this? I'm afraid this is beyond the reach of manpower, even superpowers can't do this, right?
Edwin's presence made the bee-eater analytic refresh his understanding of the mysterious side, and when they docked on the island where the Necronomicon was said to be kept, she also understood that Edwin's previous statement that it was not a matter of words to ensure that the fishing boat was safe, but that he could actually do it.
Not to mention how shocked the bee-eating analysis was, Edwin couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart from the moment he set foot on this island, what could be more exciting than the power at his fingertips? He was just one step away from becoming the most powerful person in the world, and maybe he could find a way to cure Frida and get him out of this world.
Coming to the ancient altar that Charlie Hawkins had mentioned, he followed the stone pillar mechanism they had found, pushing one by one, but seeing an entrance to the dungeon open in the center of the altar, Edwin stepped into it without the slightest hesitation.
Seeing this, the bee-eater Cao Cao followed in, even if she was reluctant, and to be honest, although she was quite adventurous, the unknown existence still made her a little afraid.
Walking into the dungeon, along the way, you can see the bones left behind by the adventurers who broke into it, almost all of them died under the trap of the dungeon, from their clothes that have rotted but can still see some traces, it is not difficult to guess that they come from different eras, spanning nearly ten centuries.
It can also be seen from the point that the Hawkins couple are lucky to be able to avoid these mechanisms and find the Necronomicon, you must know that they are ordinary people, and there may be many powerful magicians or other strong people who die here, isn't this lucky?
Actually, if you really want to talk about it, isn't Edwin lucky at this moment? Before he came here, most of the traps in the dungeon had been cracked, and he came to the altar where the Book of the Necrons was stored unimpeded, and when he saw the ancient book on the altar, the original fast pace suddenly slowed down, and his excitement calmed down at this moment.
Wrong!
Yes, something is wrong, the road can almost be said to be unimpeded, and it is only slightly thrilling when encountering a storm at sea, but after coming to this island, there is almost no danger, how can the person who keeps the Book of Dead here not think about precautions?
That person put the book here just to prevent people from finding it, and even if they did, they wouldn't let people get it, and the trap in the dungeon was probably only a part of the protective measures, and the real backhand might be unexpected.
Edwin's stop did not affect the Beeeater's curiosity about the Book of Necronomicon, and the legendary Book of Necronomicon was placed on the altar surrounded by the Inland Sea, how could it not be desirable?
Even though she believes in science, and her power comes from science, it does not hinder her curiosity about the reality of myths.
So, she walked slowly, toward the only way to the altar.
As the bee-eater stepped on the path to the altar, Edwin's heart suddenly alarmed, but when he saw him rush forward, he pulled him back.
The next moment, a huge figure suddenly jumped out from under the inland sea, and after passing the path that the bee-eater had been walking, it fell into the inner sea and sank to the bottom of the sea again.
The bee-eater was afraid after seeing this, if it wasn't for Edwin holding her, maybe he would have been eaten by the monster that suddenly appeared, plus this time, he saved himself a total of three times, looking at his eyes, the gratitude seemed to have some other meaning.
Edwin didn't notice the bee-eating eyes, his mind was preoccupied with the monster at the moment.
If he read it right, there was no doubt that the monster was the Leviathan he had seen in the Lakeside Hospital!
Then the origin of the Leviathan seems to have an explanation at this moment, and they are the last insurance that guards the Book of Necromancy.
If that's the case, then the question arises, Charlie Hawkins didn't tell the truth, or rather, he really didn't see what happened next, so how exactly did Leviathan die.
Remember what he said? He said that as he flipped through the Necronomicon book, the light engulfed the couple, and then they lost consciousness, and when they woke up, a dead Leviathan had appeared in front of them.
In that situation, how did they get close to the Necronomicon?
