Chapter 711 “Something is wrong” is the order of the day around here.

Chapter 711: “Something’s wrong” is a daily occurrence here.

In front of everyone’s eyes, the ship, wrapped in ghostly flames and resembling a blazing torch, crashed straight into the rocky cliffs – yet the explosion and loud crash that everyone expected did not occur.

The ship in the moment of impact as if the “melt”, solid decks, hulls, keel structure are instantly like mud like melt, flow down, and silently flopped on the cliff, rather than hit it, the moment of impact is more like a ball of silt “splash The moment of the impact was more like a mass of silt “splashed” on the cliff – and then, as if absorbed by the island, the whole ship completely dissolved between those clusters of jagged stalagmites.

As for the spiritual flames that were still burning on the ship a moment ago, at this moment, they crashed into a huge ring of fire on the cliffs of the island, and the sea of green fire blossomed like ripples on the coastline, and after a moment’s delay, it splashed into the sea, igniting the misty sea surface, and slowly spreading out in front of the combined fleet.

It happened so suddenly that the Church fleet side didn’t seem to have reacted to what had happened, while on the Lost Country, Nina had stared in amazement, “That ship ‘committed suicide’?!”

Lucrecia’s tone, on the other hand, seemed a bit incredulous, “Dad, did that ship …… just break free from your orders?”

Duncan didn’t answer, he just frowned tightly, confirming in his mind the vague ‘perception’ that the ship had suddenly sent to him just a moment before it crashed into the cliffs, and only after a long time did he break the silence thoughtfully, “That’s not right… . it’s not out of control.”

“Not out of control?” Lucrecia was a bit puzzled, “Then it suddenly crashed into the cliff just now ……”

“I gave it the order to ‘go home’ – so it carried it out,” Duncan said slowly, “except that I had previously assumed that a ship’s ‘home’ was the harbor where it usually docks for maintenance, yet for that ship …… its ‘home’ would have been the island itself.”

Lucrecia still seemed to be pondering the meaning of Duncan’s words, but Vanna and Maurice, who had previously experienced the Frost incident, and the others had already gradually responded, and Maurice suddenly frowned, “You mean that ship is ……”

Duncan’s expression was serious: “That ship was built with ‘matter’ from the island, at least a large portion of it.”

“The loss of the Pilot Ship was unexpected, but it didn’t affect the Combined Fleet too much – the fleet had already found the location of the Holy Land Island, and the route had already been recorded on the charts, and now, the ghostly green psychic flames were burning quietly on the surface of the sea, continuing to maintain a good view of the surrounding waters. Now, the green psychic flames are burning quietly on the surface of the sea, continuing to maintain the suppression of the fog on the surrounding waters, and a few moments later, the Bright Star spotted the entrance to the “fjord” that Aey had seen from the air.

For the priests of the Deep Sea and the Church of Death, the investigation of the Island of the Holy Land had to be carried out according to plan, despite some accidents.

Two small landing craft released from the Tidal Wave and the No Rest in Peace soon arrived near the Lost Country, each carrying eleven marines and an armed cleric, who waited for Duncan to make arrangements.

And aboard the Lost Country, Duncan was deciding on who he would follow ashore.

“Vanna, Maurice, Alice, you’re coming ashore with me,” Duncan looked at his followers on the deck and quickly picked out the right men, then his eyes fell back on Shirley, who seemed to be trying to minimize her presence, “Shirley, you’re coming too.”

“I’m not good at exploring ah, and I’m not as knowledgeable as the old man ……”

“I know, but we need Dog’s abilities,” Duncan casually interrupted Sherry’s recitation, “He’s a Spectral Demon and good at sensing and tracking, he’ll be of great use on this ‘Island of Sacred Places’. ”

Shirley listened, expression suddenly a little subtle, carefully searching for a moment before reacting – together her main role is Dog’s chain ……

However, Duncan did not care about the sudden somewhat subtle expression on Shirley’s face, and after deciding on the candidates for disembarkation, he waved his hand to the others, “The rest of you stay on the ship. This place has a weird environment, if there is any movement on the ship or on the nearby sea that is out of place, contact immediately.”

“You don’t need me to accompany you?” Lucrecia couldn’t help but step forward, “I’m more familiar with the border and have a lot of experience exploring weird islands ……”

“Needed, but not now,” Duncan shook his head, he clearly had plans, “You return to the Radiant Star and keep an eye on that ‘Saint’, it will come in handy afterward. I’ll scout the island first, and if I find a suitable ‘location’, I’ll send Aye to pick you up.”

Lucrecia thought for a moment and nodded, “I understand.”

With a slight nod, Duncan took his chosen disembarkation crew and headed for the edge of the deck.

Just then, however, a clunking and clanging of great commotion suddenly came from not too far away.

Duncan looked up at the sound and saw a small boat, fixed to the mid-deck and covered by sheeting, clunking and rocking on its supports-

It was the landing craft carried on the Lost Country.

As far as anyone could remember, though, the main purpose of that little boat was to tie two ropes to the side for Alice to use to dry her clothes, or for Shirley, who didn’t want to do her homework, to sneak into and sleep in.

Duncan silently glanced at the boat that was clunking and rocking, and it took two or three seconds before he spoke, “Aye will get us to the island.”

The boat was quiet for a moment and began clunking and rocking harder, thumping its bow again against the wooden frame used to hold it in place.

Duncan: “……”

“Captain,” Alice finally came over and tugged on Duncan’s sleeve, whispering in the latter’s ear, “Why don’t we take it with us …… I think it’s on the verge of crying… …”

Duncan looked at Alice with a strange expression, and then looked at the small landing craft on the deck that did seem to be less than happy, only to feel that this matter harmonizes the door very much, but in the end, he still sighed helplessly, “Well, we also take a small boat to the shore ……” As soon as the words fell from his side, the small boat on the deck instantly broke free of the ropes and iron hooks used to hold it in place, and the crane on the side of the deck creaked into operation right afterward, lifting the small boat from its wooden supports and placing it into the groove on the side of the center deck.

The whole maneuver was done in a fluid manner, as if the captain was afraid to reverse himself.

Duncan: “……”

Anyway, in the end, with the landing craft released from the Lost Country, three small boats broke away from the Combined Fleet and made their way along the boulder cliffs at the edge of the Island of the Holy Land to find the hidden entrance to the interior of the island and begin to make their way to the interior of the island.

After passing through the “entrance to the fjord”, which looked like the mouth of a huge beast, what came into view were the towering and treacherous clumps of stone pillars on both sides, the calm, open, dark-blue water, and the fog that still filled the air in all directions.

Three small boats were cautiously moving forward in the mist, and in the haze, we could vaguely see the shadowy harbor facilities on the shore in front of us, and some hallucinatory lights were silently releasing their glow in the mist, as if they were cold and cloudy eyes floating in the air.

The small boats in which Duncan and the others rode were self-propelled without human piloting, while the landing craft released from the Tidal Wave and the No Rest in Peace relied on small steam cores to drive them-the sound of the cores as they operated shattered the silence of the fjord, and the clattering of the three ships as they broke the surface of the water was blurred by reflections from the craggy cliffs on either side. together.

Vanna frowned suddenly.

She turned her head to look at the captain, but saw that the captain was also frowning in a certain direction in the mist, and behind the landing craft’s flanks, the two steam dinghies from the Tidal Wave and the No Rest in Peace seemed to have sensed what was going on, and began to slowly reduce their speed.

Those mingled echoes in the fjord slowly diminished with them.

Vanna tilted her head sideways and whispered while carefully distinguishing them, “Hear that?”

Shirley didn’t seem to notice the abnormality, but sensed the change in the atmosphere around her, and she twisted her head nervously, “Hear …… hear what?”

The sound of chains rubbing slightly rang out from the shadows, and Dog slowly raised his head, “There’s the sound of a fourth ship …… in the fog, following us.”

Shirley blushed slightly and lowered her voice, “Crap?”

Duncan didn’t say anything, just raised his hand, signaling to keep moving.

The sound of mechanical propellers resumed, and a blur of noise mingled in the fjord once more – and even Shirley heard the sound of the “fourth ship” over the humming and clattering.

This time, the sound was even more pronounced than before, and Shirley could even hear what sounded like a steam engine, but a little more subdued, and the sound of the bow breaking through the water.

She searched wide-eyed for the direction from which the sound was coming, but found that all the sounds were mingled with the echoes in the fjord, buzzing and rumbling in a way that was difficult to discern.

All she could be sure of was that there really was a fourth ship, and that it was hidden in the mist around her, so close that sometimes …… it even seemed to be right next to it.

As if he suddenly discerned something, Maurice stared intently into the misty water, fished out a strangely shaped, lens-like device from his pocket, and looked through the lens in that direction.

There was a hazy shadow appearing in the lens, as if an abstract and illusory ship.

However, in the next second, the misty phantom was suddenly colored with a layer of ethereal green – the illusory spirit blaze engulfed it in the blink of an eye, and dissipated again in an instant.

The sound of the fourth ship disappeared.

Alice looked quizzically at the flash of fire in the mists, and then back up at Duncan, “Captain, what was that?”

“I don’t know,” Duncan shook his head, “Maybe it was something in the mists trying to ‘mimic’ us, or maybe it was just an illusion created in the particular environment here… …It’s not much of a problem anyway, after all, ‘not being right’ is part of the daily routine at the border itself.”

Alice let out a seemingly understandable “Oh”, and then turned her head to look at the water in front of the boat.

“Ah, here we are.”

As the doll’s words fell, the harbor that had been looking hazy in the mist suddenly became clear.

Three small boats docked.
