Sail Shadows in the Sea of ​​Fog

Chapter 102 The Wrong Skill Tree and Qin Jinyan's Relics

"Dear Captain and Ms. Silver Queen, I do have some suspicions about Mist Shadow."

On the shore of Misty Island, on the open deck of the Valkyrie, the Magic Mirror answered flatteringly and respectfully.

"Just say it"

Cheng Lang urged. When he came back with Wuying in his arms, he noticed the Silver Queen floating between the masts, and of course, the magic mirror in the mirrors.

But now is not the time to ask where they went, Wuying's condition is the most important.

"We all know that Wuying is a combination of Swallow Island, Wuling, and the artificial god."

The Magic Mirror explained, "In this age when there are no sea gods in the ocean and no Valkyries on land, she does, in a sense, possess the body of at least a demigod."

"So?" the Silver Queen demanded. "I don't care what she is, I just want to know her..."

"Don't worry, she's not in any danger."

The Magic Mirror soothed her, "The half-blood sea monster, Setus Calamity, that we encountered provided Princess Misty Shadow with a great deal of nourishment. Unfortunately, none of us have experience as gods, so she can only subconsciously learn from what she is most familiar with."

"so."

"The Dance of Wrath Box, the former Dance of Wrath Box, and the Valkyrie, which now serves as the Dance of Wrath Box."

The Magic Mirror sighed with increasing regret, "Wist Shadow is a hybrid, and her consciousness was born within the Wrath Dance Magic Box, so she is subconsciously learning the Wrath Dance Magic Box."

"Learn a box?"

"That's right, but the current Dance of Wrath Magic Box is the Valkyrie. Or rather, the Valkyrie is her Dance of Wrath Magic Box, so she also has some of the Valkyrie's aura."

"I don't understand," the Silver Queen said blankly.

“It’s a very special way to grow up.”

The magic mirror sighed, "She's lucky, but she probably won't become a powerful god like Valkyrie or Poseidon."

"What will she become?" Cheng Lang asked the same question that Silver Queen was concerned about - like a parent of a child.

"An eternal coffin in a sense." The magic mirror gave an unexpected answer.

"What is an eternal coffin in a certain sense?" Queen Silver asked the question Cheng Lang wanted to ask.

"This greedy little guy has a good appetite"

The magic mirror explained, "She's probably almost digested Poseidon's heart, and she's transformed into a special eternal coffin, one that possesses some of the properties of the Wrathful Dancer's Box."

"You'd better speak more clearly."

Cheng Lang had to urge him, because he had only sent Wuying back this time and had not yet taken the things on the top of the mountain.

"To put it simply, she was born from an artificial divine body, and at the same time absorbed one of Poseidon's hearts. Like an eternal coffin, she was nourished by the blood of two generations of sea gods, so she became a special eternal coffin.

Because of the many accidents mentioned above, she can use powerful energy to transform any life into an undead state like the Silver Queen. This is her special way of maintaining eternity."

The magic mirror finally said something that Cheng Lang and the Silver Queen could understand, "With the help of the energy of that half-blood sea monster, this little guy turned Hissing into the ghost he is now.

With the help of Poseidon's heart, she turned Mr. Qin into a ghost, and these ghosts may maintain a symbiotic relationship with her. "

"so."

“It’s like a deal.”

The magic mirror added, “A transaction between flesh and blood energy and transformation into the undead. She has the body of a god, so even if she cannot achieve immortality, she can still have a long life.

Dear Captain, why don't you also transform into an undead, then you can... uh... ignore what I said."

The magic mirror immediately took back its stupid words when Cheng Lang threw the mirror in his hand into the sea.

"So to put it simply, Wuying is not in danger, and the people she turned into undead are not in danger either?" Cheng Lang asked with a sigh of relief.

"That's right." The magic mirror's firm answer made Cheng Lang and the Silver Queen both breathe a sigh of relief.

"In that case, you guys stay with her." Cheng Lang said as he swung his whip around the mast and jumped off the Valkyrie.

As for Wuying, he had his own understanding. Simply put, the little guy was very talented but had not met a good master. So although he failed to become a fighting god or Buddha, he became the messenger of the altar because of his good appetite.

Although the little guy's skill tree was wrong, Cheng Lang didn't care at all and was even a little happy.

The reason, of course, was because of the heart of Poseidon just now.

Qin Jinyan tried to kill it on this island for many years but failed. However, it was swallowed by Wuying's pet, who also turned Qin Jinyan into an immortal ghost.

Although he didn't know if he had lost money on the deal, at least he was extremely satisfied. And don't forget, there were still six more hearts to go.

With this little messenger of the altar around, killing Poseidon or obtaining the reverse scale would undoubtedly be much easier.

With such expectations, Cheng Lang climbed back to the top of the stone mountain along the path lined with fruit trees. Finally, he stood next to the coffin inlaid with inverse scales and took out the things inside one by one.

Qin Jinyan didn't leave behind much, just a not-so-big indigo bag and an equally not-so-big Chinese wine jar. Apart from these, there was nothing else.

After taking these things out, the coffin itself began to become rusty, but the scale that was only the size of a fingernail fell off by itself, and finally floated into Cheng Lang's palm and became motionless.

Does this contain the secret of the world?
Cheng Lang turned the small reverse scale over and found that it looked like a small piece of red crystal. Not to mention any secrets, there was not even a scratch on it.

Even if we don’t say it is a reverse scale, I’m afraid no one would associate this thing with “scale”.

Turning around and bending down to pick up the big gun that had become as long as a chopstick, Cheng Lang took a last look at the unfinished wine and food on the table, picked up the boat bottle of fruit wine and put it in his pocket, then turned and left the mountain top.

Back on the Valkyrie, Wuying was still unconscious, hissing in her arms with her pet snake. The Sea-Watching Vine in the lower cabin had produced a large number of fruits because the ship had docked, and even the vine goblins that had died previously had hatched again.

But at this time, Cheng Lang, who had already returned to the captain's office, had no intention of paying attention to these things at all. His attention was all focused on the few things he brought back.

What made him most curious was naturally the contents of the bundle. However, when he untied the bulging bundle, he found that it contained only a black pirate flag.

There was nothing on this pirate flag except a skull and crossbones. The pirate flag itself was wrapped with a waist badge that was exactly the same as the one I had seen before.
What is this? A tiger talisman? Cheng Lang picked up the second object.

The left half of the tiger was carved from a jet-black stone that looked like crystal. However, the left half of the tiger had wings that looked like dragonfly fins.

Who has the other half of the tiger talisman? Cheng Lang couldn't help but ponder this intriguing question.

Of course, this did not stop him from picking up the wine jar and taking a look. Judging from its size from the outside, this ceramic glazed wine jar probably had a capacity of only one kilogram at most, but this jar did not even have a cork and was empty inside.

Putting it aside, Cheng Lang finally picked up the big gun that was only the size of a chopstick.

"This weapon is a little special." The one who said this was the pale green figure in the mirror beside the table.

"Special? What's special?" Cheng Lang asked curiously.

"Have you ever looked closely at the painting on the wall of the conference room upstairs?"

As the magic mirror spoke, the oil painting upstairs of the Valkyrie slaying Poseidon appeared on the mirror.

"This is?!"

Cheng Lang couldn't help but widen his eyes after seeing the details that the magic mirror had magnified for him, and then looked at the "chopsticks" in his hand.

The shape of this gun is exactly the same as the weapon used by the Valkyrie to kill Poseidon!
"This is."

"When the Valkyrie killed Poseidon, she used a weapon of this type." The magic mirror said as objectively as possible.

"So this is what the Valkyrie used back then." "No, no, no, I'm just saying, it looks exactly the same."

The magic mirror initially denied it, but then added a seemingly endless list of explanations, "I can't be sure if it was used by the Valkyrie."

Hearing this, Cheng Lang, who originally didn't care much about this weapon, couldn't help but look carefully at the "chopsticks" in his hand.

This weapon is made entirely of an unknown black metal, and the various patterns on it are almost exactly the same as those on the real eternal coffin in the lower cabin.

Compared to these, the head of this big gun is much simpler, without any additional shapes. It is just an extremely sharp three-edged spike that is almost one-third of the entire length, with a lot of hollowing throughout, and twisted at a certain angle.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the hollow shape, you can tell that the main purpose of this weapon is probably to draw blood.

Could this thing possibly be able to grow bigger or smaller like a stick weighing tens of thousands of pounds?
Cheng Lang weighed the big gun, which was only as long as a chopstick, and finally put it on the table temporarily and picked up the badge again.

There is no change in the waist badge itself, it just looks a little cleaner.

"When will Wuying wake up?" Cheng Lang asked after putting away all his things.

"Maybe tomorrow, maybe next month."

The magic mirror replied, "It is Poseidon's heart after all. It is normal for her to wake up after a year."

"Normal ass"

Cheng Lang patted his forehead and asked, "Do you know how to leave here?"

"I"

"If Wuying doesn't wake up, Qin Jinyan, who was turned into a ghost by her, will never wake up."

Cheng Lang pointed out the window behind him and said, "If he doesn't wake up, we may not be able to leave here."

"Speaking of this, dear Captain, I have even worse news." The magic mirror said cautiously.

"What bad news?" Cheng Lang subconsciously tensed up.

"We seem to be underwater," said the magic mirror.

"Where is it?"

Underwater

The magic mirror said again, "At least the sunlight outside is fake, just as fake as the sunlight I provided to the lower cabin. The only explanation may be that we are underwater."

"Underwater?"

Cheng Lang couldn't help but stand up and walked to the window to look out, but unfortunately, he couldn't see anything unusual.

"It can't be in the sky," said the magic mirror. "I doubt it."

"You can speak boldly," Cheng Lang reminded.

"I suspect it's in the belly of a sea monster," said the magic mirror. "A sea monster no weaker than Panini."

"Another sea monster? Wait! Are you saying that my... uh... my friend, he has a sea monster?" Cheng Lang asked curiously.

"I'm afraid it is," said the Magic Mirror, "a sea monster no weaker than Panini or Swallow Island."

"It's really enviable."

Cheng Lang couldn't help but sigh. He was already imagining how great it would be if he had a pet like Panini or Tundao.

"My dear Captain, you have nothing to envy."

The magic mirror said as a matter of course, "Mist Shadow is no worse than those sea monsters, she..."

"I beg you to treat her as a human being," Cheng Lang slapped his forehead, "Don't say such stupid things again."

"As you wish, my dear captain." The magic mirror replied respectfully and flatteringly.

"Will she really be more powerful than the sea monster in the future?" Cheng Lang couldn't help but ask in a low voice after a moment of silence.

"Just based on the heart she ate, we can be sure that the future Mist Shadow will at least be no worse than a sea monster."

The magic mirror said firmly, "Of course, it may take a long time. The growth of a sea monster is an extremely long process."

“She’s not artificial.”

"Even Poseidon is essentially a sea monster."

The magic mirror respectfully reminded, "In the days when sea monsters still had reason, the path of advancement for marine life was from a siren to a sea monster, and then to a sea god."

"What about humans? I mean, what about humans on land?"

"Don't be eaten by the sea beasts that come ashore, don't be eaten by the sirens that come ashore, don't be eaten by the sea monsters that come ashore, and don't be eaten by the sea god. Or, kill the sea god."

The magic mirror said in a nonchalant and matter-of-fact tone, "This is the path of advancement for most terrestrial life."

"I'll go around the island. If Wuying wakes up, signal me immediately."

"We will keep an eye on Princess Misty Shadow's situation and send you a signal as soon as she wakes up." The Magic Mirror promised respectfully.

Standing up with a sigh, Cheng Lang left the office and the Valkyrie, and set foot on the island full of fruit trees again.

He naturally did not expect to find any more treasures on the island, but at the very least it would be a waste to leave those fruits hanging on the trees. It would be better to pick some and try them. If the taste was good, he could at least bring some back to the sailors who stayed outside the fog to try.

Of course, he would never admit it. He wanted to see what other scenery his fellow villager Qin Jinyan had created on the island to relieve his homesickness.

Crossing the beautiful stone bridge again, Cheng Lang whipped a peach, tore off the furry skin and took a bite.

The sweet juice and rich fruity aroma immediately made him nod repeatedly. This peach tasted really good.

After squatting by the bridge and eating a peach, Cheng Lang ran to the stream under the bridge to wash his hands. Then he continued to move forward and took a fork in the road that did not lead to the top of the mountain.

This island is not very big, but it has several lush hills. When Cheng Lang walked to the end of the road, the scene he saw made him sigh.

This is a paddy field full of rice. Next to the paddy field is a thatched house that doesn't look very big.

On the other side of the thatched hut was a large area with at least hundreds of graves with stone tablets.

After a slight hesitation, Cheng Lang turned back and once again came to the top of the stone mountain, where he found the basket he had left there and the incense sticks in the basket.

Carrying these things all the way to the cemetery, he also picked various fruits and put them in the basket.

This time, he walked to the side of the thatched hut, respectfully placed the fruits on a stone table, then lit the homemade incense sticks, bowed respectfully, and inserted them into the incense burner he also brought with him.

Finally, he poured some fruit wine on the ground, and then Cheng Lang looked at the thatched hut.

The hut was not very big, and the windows and doors were open, allowing him to see everything inside clearly.

As expected, there was no one in the hut, and there was no possibility of anyone being there. Of course, there was nothing that looked special.

Cheng Lang had no intention of entering. He just took a look and then turned and left the cemetery.

However, he did not notice that as he turned around, behind him, in the orchard on the other side of the thatched hut, there was a pair of large, black, emotionless eyes secretly looking at him - just a pair of eyes, a pair of eyes that did not look like human eyes.
