One day later, Angor stood on the deck of the ship and looked at the thick fog around him.
So this is what Erwin and Helen said? With the naked eye, the visibility might not even be 100 meters. Would it really be okay under such circumstances? Won't I get lost?
"Don't worry, sir. We'll take this route every time we go to Ferran. At least, The Limpet never ran into any danger here. It's just a normal sea fog. It won't affect our sense of direction. "
Angor also checked his surroundings and confirmed that the fog was just water vapor. He didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Since Erwin and Helen both assured him that the fog was fine, Angor didn't think too much about it and returned to the cabin.
The biggest benefit of Roman's death was that he could study illusions as much as he wanted.
However, today, instead of studying illusions, he took out his handbook and wrote down everything that happened to the Leviathan. Before leaving Silver Palm Island, Angor asked Toby to observe the island from the sky while he used a cantrip to strengthen his eyesight.
But from the outside, there was nothing strange about Silver Palm Island, and the information Toby received was the same.
That was strange. Why would the Leviathan stay there for so long?
He wrote down several guesses on the paper, such as guarding a treasure, finding a destiny, hunting prey, recovering from injuries, and even giving birth to children. Angor included them all.
But he didn't know which one, or whether it was the same.
After writing down the Leviathan, Angor planned to learn a new cantrip from the "Reality School". But after a moment of hesitation, he took out a piece of paper and began writing.
The boots on Roman's feet caught Angor's attention when Roman left the city.
Pure white wings grew out from both sides of his black leather boots, allowing him to fly in the air.
"Interesting, I didn't expect his boots to be a flying vehicle," Angor muttered.
The boots wouldn't be as fast as a flying vehicle, but it would save him a lot of trouble and allow him to use more tactics in battle.
He was originally learning the art of tailoring, and in his excitement, he decided to design a pair of shoes that could carry the Floating Mageweath using the materials he had now.
If the shoes were too small, he could use clothes.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these three days, The Limpet was still traveling through the fog. Just like Helen said, there was very little danger in this part of the sea. They didn't even run into any bad weather. They only ran into a few level-2 apprentice sea monsters. Angor asked Toby to take care of the sea monsters while he worked on his own blueprint.
One evening, Toby suddenly flew into his room while Angor was still immersed in his own world. It dragged Angor to the balcony while mumbling.
"What's wrong? Did we run into another monster we can't handle? "Angor looked at Toby with a confused look.
Toby didn't answer. Instead, he pointed to the northwest.
Angor followed Toby's finger and frowned.
Amidst the grey-white fog, the faint shadow of a ship could be seen.
Judging from its shadow, the ship was still quite a distance away from The Limpet. Even so, it was obvious that the ship was huge. Angor estimated that the ship was at least ten times bigger than The Limpet.
"What's that?" Angor looked at the ship again. Was there another ship on the same route? But wasn't this ship a little too big? The Limpet was already a large cargo ship, which was rarely seen in any harbor. But this ship was so much bigger than The Limpet. It looked like a ship that belonged to a giant.
Angor even saw a flag fluttering in the wind.
But the more he looked, the more he felt that something was wrong. The wind was blowing in two different directions.
Other than that, there were some other suspicious points. For example, why was such a big ship so quiet?
He saw Helen on the deck, who was ordering the sailors to move the wooden buckets filled with rainwater into the cabin.
"Deputy Captain Helen, do you know which company that ship belongs to?"
Helen looked back and found that the lazy Lord Magus had suddenly stood beside her. He was now curiously looking at the distant ship in the fog.
Helen also looked over, and when she saw the shadow of the huge ship, she suddenly laughed. "Sir, from the shape of the ship, it's actually our White Clam Shipping's ship, but … it's just a space-time illusion, not a real ship."
"Spacetime Mirage?" Angor wondered. What do you mean? "
"The previous part of this route is connected to Gearwheel Abyss. Didn't I tell Sir about the abnormality of the Gear Sea Abyss? Ships often disappear into the Gear Sea Abyss … The ship shadows in the fog are actually the shadows of those ships. Like a mirage, it's not real. When we pass through this area, we'll see a ship eight feet in ten times. But they all come in different shapes and sizes. We even saw an ancient ship, so we call it 'illusion'.
"That ship is obviously a White Clam Shipping ship. It might be a ship that disappeared in the Gear Sea Abyss in the past hundred years. It's so big because it's also an airship that can fly. " At this point, Helen sighed with emotion. "Such a large ship. I reckon many people died at that time. What a pity."
Hellen's explanation enlightened Angor.
"It's an illusion." No wonder he felt something was wrong.
Angor noticed that the sailors around him didn't seem surprised at all. None of them paid attention to the ship in the fog. Clearly, they knew what it was.
"Devil's Water isn't just a place with bad weather. There are also a lot of strange phenomena. Most of them aren't as safe as the ship shadows. They're all dangerous. That's why our shipping business exists. Based on our predecessors' experience, we can create safer routes. "
No one knew what they would run into if they wandered into unknown areas. This was Devil's Water. Without a guide, they could get lost forever.
Devil's Water had too many secrets. At his current level, he did not even have the right to look into it.
After saying goodbye to Helen, he was still interested in the space-time illusion created by the ship. Maybe it was a kind of illusion. However, he didn't want to get too close. It would be terrible if he got lost in the fog.
He could only observe the ship shadow from afar while sensing the ripples brought by the wind.
While observing the shadow of the ship, he felt something familiar about it.
"It's similar to Erdus' mirage," Angor muttered to himself. Could it be that there was a super clam like Erdus around here?
Angor leaned against the railing and looked down at the sea.
He couldn't see anything in the darkness. Even so, he still felt a chill down his spine.
If there really was a super clam like Erdus, how big would it have to be? After all, these illusions were ships that had disappeared into the Gear Sea Abyss. This place was very far from the Gear Sea Abyss.
Angor shivered and decided not to think about it. Sometimes, people's fear of the unknown came from their own imagination.
After a while, the ship shadow finally disappeared into the fog. Angor returned to his bedroom with a disappointed look on his face.
Two days later, Toby dragged Angor out of his workshop again.
"Another ship shadow?" He looked at the vague shadows in the mist and sighed. Compared to those vague shadows, he preferred to go back and work on his "flying boots". He was almost at the end of his work. He planned to discuss the appearance of the boots with Nano first so that he could try making them at night.
Since Toby dragged him out of the workshop, Angor decided to follow Toby's lead and observe the shadow in front of him.
The ship was about the same size as The Limpet. Other than that, there was nothing special about it.
Angor planned to go back to his room and continue his work. However, he suddenly frowned. He noticed that something was wrong. The ship didn't move at all. Instead, it was getting closer and closer to The Limpet.
Last time, the ship shadow kept a certain distance from them. No matter how The Limpet moved, it didn't get any closer.
"We'll run into it if we keep going." Angor's eyes brightened up. He wanted to take a closer look to see if it was just a mirage.
While Angor was still observing the ship, the sailors on the deck began to get restless.
They all pointed at the ship in the fog and stared at it in disbelief.
Erwin suddenly sent a message to Angor. "There's a ship ahead. Everyone, stay alert."
Angor was a little surprised. "Wait, it's not a shadow. It's a real ship?"
The Limpet was getting closer and closer to the strange shadow of the ship.
Angor was still afraid of the unknown. He took off his right glove and cast a large nightmare illusion to cover The Limpet.
No matter what the ship was, Angor had to take care of his own safety first.
The Limpet finally entered the ship's visible range.
When everyone saw what the ship looked like, Helen suddenly exclaimed, "That's a ship from the Age of Gold! At least three thousand years ago!"
