Chapter 117 Escape Tool
They landed at the port and, with the help of the mirror in front of their eyes, they could see a large building on the distant coast, which looked like a warehouse.
"That should be the shipyard, right?"
Buildings similar to shipyards are generally quite conspicuous. Of course, it is also possible that they are really warehouses.
Xia Daiti turned around and nodded: "It should be that thing, let's go and take a look."
At the port where they landed, there was no ship left, not even a small boat.
Similarly, no corpses were seen along the way.
After all, all the residents here were evacuated when the magic power exploded, so there were no casualties, and this place is in the outskirts.
Correspondingly, it is difficult to find valuable things in such places because the previous things were taken away when people left.
At best, you can only earn some hard-earned money and take some large items that you won’t have time to move away when you escape.
This is the source of money for ordinary people who have been hanging around in the dark realm for many years.
Those who have a little ability or a larger team will generally explore further.
Over the years, most of the outer islands have been explored.
Thinking of this, Alka slapped his head and turned around to ask, "This island is on the outskirts. Are there really any usable ships left in the shipyard?"
Hearing this, Xia Daiti froze in place, and Porro next to him scratched his head in confusion.
Yes.
They overlooked a most serious problem.
Xia Daiti frowned and began to think, as if he was recalling something.
"No, there should be some remaining ships. I heard from Grandpa Haibo that when their ancestors left, their earliest spell ship experiment was left on the island and hidden by them."
"And I heard from him that there are too many ships left here. The people on the island are either shipbuilding craftsmen and designers, or workers and their families."
Hearing Xiadaiti's words, Alka nodded. What he said was true, and they had nowhere else to look now. The chances of looking on an island with the most ships were much greater than in other places.
“If it doesn’t work, we can try to find the ship that Haibo’s grandfather’s ancestors hid. It should still be there and hasn’t been found by others .
If the ship had been found, they would not have been unaware of it.”
"Haven't they thought of coming back to look for it over the years?" Alka asked curiously.
A normal person would want to come back and find some of their ancestors' wealth, not necessarily just for the sake of wealth.
And their own family members and ancestors must have left clues.
Xia Daiti shook his head: "They didn't come looking for us. The reason why the outer area of the Dark Realm is safe is only because the dark forces in the outer area have begun to fade in the past few decades."
"Moreover, with the help of the church, they were able to make a very perfect spell ship 200 years ago. The knowledge they have stored is already outdated and meaningless to them."
Hearing this, Alka nodded.
It’s not that I don’t want to, but it’s useless and a waste of time to spend the energy.
The two chatted with Porro and came to the shipyard not far from the port.
Both Alka and Shadaiti have darkvision.
Alka originally prepared a dark vision card for Pororo, but he said he didn't need it. It might be because of racial reasons. After all, he had never heard of Sankaka having the ability of dark vision.
Through dark vision, they clearly saw what was happening inside the shipyard.
Many of the tools originally made of metal have long since decayed and broken, and the huge iron suspension boom has also long since broken.
The broken piece smashed into the half-built ship below, breaking the keel that had long been rotten.
These woods used to build the ships have been maintained, but have not yet gone through the final process and have now rotted and piled everywhere.
No matter how good the protective measures are, they cannot withstand the passage of time.
Xia Daiti shook his head with some regret: "It's not here."
Several people had to withdraw from the shipyard.
"Let's take a walk around the island and see if there are any abandoned ships."
Hearing Alka's words, Xia Daiti nodded.
Alka thought for a moment and said , "When you look for the ship, pay attention to the terrain here and draw a rough map.
I need a map for analysis as a final safeguard."
Hearing Alka's words, Xiadaiti turned around and looked at him. Although he didn't know what he wanted to do, he nodded.
This was not a difficult task for her.
"no problem."
After saying this, a circle of silver-white ripples appeared under Xia Daiti's feet and spread to the surroundings along the ground.
After a while, it burrowed into the ground and disappeared.
This is the ability Xia Daiti uses for scanning, which allows her to quickly memorize the surrounding terrain in her mind.
This allows her to have clear data in her mind so that she can be more accurate when drawing maps.
Moreover, the scanning waves used by Xia Daiti are different from normal spells.
It came from a more advanced use of spells. Alka simply knew that this use came from the spells that Xiadaiti comprehended on his own when he became the Toucher.
[Bo Guang] only knew the name of this spell, and Xia Daiti had never explained it to him.
Since it is a spell that was comprehended from the source, there is naturally no record of this spell.
After walking around the coast for a while, Alka finally understood why this island became a professional shipbuilding island.
In addition to the huge port in front, almost everywhere around it is a very natural port.
Unfortunately, these ports are not perfect, and the location of the islands is not a safe shipping route.
If feasible, there would be no problem in even turning the entire coastline of the island into a port.
As they walked along, they saw large piles of various shipbuilding wood and tools.
Even more than one shipyard was seen.
However, most of the ships inside were unfinished and decayed over time.
"There, is that an intact ship?"
Porro suddenly looked at a piece of rubble in the distance, where the stern of a ship was leaking out.
Several people immediately walked over quickly.
However, as they got closer, the surprise in their eyes grew.
The entire ship appeared before them.
This is a three-masted sailing ship, but it is only about 20 meters long, a small ship.
But even with this kind of boat, it was very difficult for the two of them to control.
Fortunately, they are touchers with good strength, so they should be able to give it a try.
This ship is placed here, it should be a ship preparing to go to sea. There is also a shipyard in the distance and tools for towing ships next to it.
These tools are placed around in a messy manner, which can help to clarify the situation at that time.
It should be that when darkness broke out, the ship was preparing to go to sea. When danger came, all the people who were preparing to work here naturally ran away.
"Don't be too happy yet. I have to see if this ship can still be used after all these years."
Xiadaiti said as he walked towards the ship.
Several people walked around the bottom of the boat together.
No damaged or loose parts were seen.
The three of them jumped onto the deck and entered the cabin.
The cabin was divided into two by a deck. It was empty and had almost no supplies.
After observing for a while, they came to the bottom warehouse.
"well."
As soon as he got down to Dicang Xia Daiti saw something wrong and couldn't help but sigh.
Then he walked over and touched it. Even an amateur in shipbuilding like Alka who followed him noticed that something was wrong. There was a huge crack in the keel of the ship.
This makes the ship likely to break apart at sea at any time, and there are many cracks around and inside the ship.
Even though it was a new ship at the time, it had been left here for hundreds of years without anyone maintaining it, and due to the passage of time, various problems had already occurred.
"Although this ship has problems, it should still be possible to sail to Shanghai for a trial. There is no better choice now."
Xia Daiti said.
However, having said that, this ship is indeed not a good choice for escape.
But they have no choice now.
"Let's go around the island first. If we can't find a better way, we can use this boat."
In response to Alka's proposal, Xia Daiti nodded and did not raise any objections.
"If you just want to escape from being hunted down, it's OK for me to give you a ride, don't worry." Porro said from the side.
It sounded to him that the two men seemed to be afraid that the boat would break into pieces, but with him by their side, even if the boat sank, it wouldn't be a big problem.
At most, it will be just like the voyage on the sea in the past few days, which means we will have to suffer a little more.
This provides more protection.
The few of them continued to walk around the island . Although this island was specially used for shipbuilding, it was not very big.
They spent half a day touring the island, but really didn't find anything useful.
They found quite a few ships, but they were even more dilapidated than this one. Most of them had holes in the bottom or sides, and there were only two of them.
They don't have the skills to repair ships, and similarly, there are no intact materials here .
The few of them returned to the port again, and Xia Daiti said, "It seems that we can only try that ship."
At this time, Alka next to him rubbed his chin and said, "How about you draw a map of this island first?"
Didn’t Xia Daiti tell us when we went to the island before that there was an experimental spell ship hidden by the ancestor named Hai Bo on this island?
Although it is possible that this is a story that the old man told when he was a child just to make Xia Daiti happy.
But now I have to give it a try.
If there is a spell ship, I believe it should be able to be preserved for hundreds of years.
And they also have a greater chance of escaping his father's pursuit at sea.
After all, as a person who prays for the dead and possesses treasures, he also has a spell ship.
The performance of the spell ship completely crushes ordinary ships, not to mention that this ordinary ship is only operated by Alka and Xiadaiti, and at most Pororo.
And it has huge hidden dangers and may collapse at any time.
But looking at Porro's appearance, it was obvious that it seldom rode on human ships, so the help it could provide was extremely limited.
After hearing what Alka said, Xiadaiti had no choice but to go to a small house nearby that had not completely collapsed, walked to a flat stone and squatted down.
Simple painting tools appeared in her hands. She always had these things in her ring.
"Why are you so obsessed with the map?" Xia Daiti asked mutteringly, but his hands did not stop.
"Is a simple one okay?"
Hearing what Xiadaiti said, Alka nodded.
"A simple one will do. Just draw some locations. You don't need to go into too much detail. Of course, it's fine as long as it's detailed and doesn't take up too much of your time and energy."
After hearing Alka's words, Xiadaiti said nothing more and began to draw seriously.
Alka sat nearby and waited quietly.
He looked at the map in Xia Daiti's hand from time to time and blinked.
He wanted to see at what stage a map had to reach before it could be recognized as a map, which would provide him with convenience.
