Chapter 1494: Traces of Undersea Civilization

When the sun appeared directly above the lake, the calm lake surface began to surge with waves reflecting the sun, and a huge whirlpool slowly appeared.

"Here it comes." Blazer lifted Herbie up and away from the railing to prevent this guy, who was as light as a flag, from being swept away by the wind and waves.

"So, how did this whirlpool appear? The waves appeared first, and then the wind. It's the opposite of normal." Blaze put Herbie down and asked.

"It's fine as long as it works, but according to Morgan, it should be some special terrain that has not yet been solved."

Herbie waved to Blaze and led the way to the command tower of the Drifting Island, showing off the homework he had prepared in advance on the way.

"This place has had the ability to stably generate whirlpools since ancient times. The only conditions are that the wind is calm and the sun or moon is directly overhead. There cannot be any waves or ripples caused by the wind."

"And the twelve knights who are said to be searching for the Holy Grail can pass through this lake to reach World F. That's where the fun begins." Herbie shook his finger mysteriously, then turned around after entering the cabin and spoke slowly.

"The reason why the three knights went to World F through this lake to search for the Holy Grail was not because they passed through the whirlpool of the lake to reach World F, but because this lake itself was one of the answers they found to the mystery of the Fountain of Youth."

Blaze pondered, and Herbie seemed to have said something nonsense, because according to the legend, the three knights who found the Holy Grail went to Crete to look for clues to the Holy Grail.

That is the lair of pirates and their descendants. The people there would use a coordinate that can fix the vortex to fool and deceive the Three Knights.

Anyway, the three knights and the Knights Templar entered the whirlpool and headed for unknown waters. Whether they can come back is another matter. Even if they come back, we can hold them accountable and use the excuse of "Don't blame us if you can't find the treasure" to shut up these honest knights.

But if we consider the geographical location of the lake, there are some problems, as it is very close to the city of Crete.

It is not the kind of closeness that is visible to the naked eye, nor the kind of closeness that is confined to a region, but a larger kind of closeness that was once in a sea area.

The city of Crete used to be a huge island, but due to various unknown events including the upheaval of the world, the sea water disappeared immediately, and the surrounding area, and even the entire Third Kingdom area, may be an island or a coastal area.

This can be judged from the terrain of the Third Kingdom. It cannot be seen when you are in it, but if you look down at the entire area from a high altitude, you can find that the entire Third Kingdom is much shorter than the surrounding average, like a giant basin.

The large lake that is forming the vortex in front of us is the relatively lower part of the giant basin. If it were described as an ocean, it would probably be the seabed.

"Are you trying to say that this lake might be a teleportation tower used by an intelligent civilization living under the sea in a very distant era to travel long distances?"

"This is a very bold guess." Hebi nodded, "I used Babo's channels to collect a lot of whirlpools that appear steadily on the continent. Most of them are concentrated in the Third Kingdom."

"That must have been a hefty price to pay." Blaze interrupted slightly. Those whirlpools that appear stably are also called the pirates' pirate ship anchorage points. Basically, they are coordinates that are more important than the pirates' lives.

If every pirate ship's anchorage point is similar, then they generally have two characteristics, not to mention concealment.

There are two very special things, that is, it seems that there is no way for the ship to enter, and there are waves without wind, and the whirlpool is unnatural. Blazer initially guessed that the pirates built a disguise after discovering the fixed coordinates of the whirlpool, but later denied it, because it is not something that can be done by human power.

Ordinary people cannot accomplish it. Even if there are blessed people among pirates, it is impossible for every pirate group to have a blessed person.

From this perspective, it is reasonable to speculate that some creatures living in the ocean may use the whirlpool as a transmission channel and build special buildings to protect the whirlpool.

"I remember that in the world-class mission completed by [Fairy Country], the deep-sea giant and the special space called the other shore were unlocked. Could it be related to them?"

Herbie shook his head.

"I have confirmed that it is not. The whirlpool is more like a derivative product. What the Fairy Country discovered was to go directly through the water surface to the other side, and then go from the other side to the corresponding water surface, while the whirlpool moves in the gap between the other side and the water surface."

"I tend to believe that these fixed whirlpools were built by mermaids. After all, the only underwater civilization we know of is the legendary mermaids."

"Mermaid..." Blaze fell silent. He turned his head and looked at the waves outside through the side of the boat.

The huge whirlpool has slowly drawn Drifting Island No. 1 in. Soon Drifting Island No. 1 will be swallowed up, and then shuttle between the other side and the water surface.

Taking into account that some of the accompanying personnel on Drifting Island No. 1 were experiencing vortex transmission for the first time, and in addition to the large amount of supplies prepared for sea voyages, Drifting Island No. 1 began to be closed to prevent seawater from entering.

"What's wrong?" Herbie asked curiously.

"No... I was thinking, if mermaids really exist, wouldn't it be a bit bad for us to directly trigger an underwater volcanic eruption to create reefs and volcanic islands?"

"Well, I've thought about your question." Herbie leaned against the wall. She thought about it much more than Blaze.

For example, would the large-scale collection of Ica Stones with fishing nets accidentally catch mermaids? Or would the Ica Stones be a necessary substance for the mermaids?

She specifically consulted Jasmine about this matter, but even in the Age of Gods, only a simple exploration of the ocean world of World F was conducted, and only sirens were recorded, but no mermaids were found.

That ocean world is completely unknown to humans, and it is also unknown to humans. In the past, only stray ships and pirate ships have been active in the ocean world.

But now, this ocean world that has been quiet for who knows how many years may have been turned upside down. Major events such as the appearance of the Sea of ​​Golden Apple Trees and the severe damage to Ouroboros have caused huge waves.

In this turmoil, it is not surprising that mermaids, who have always been in legends and seem to exist and not exist, appear.

This is really not good news. In the past, when humans came into contact with orcs, sub-orcs and other intelligent and civilized groups, it caused a lot of big troubles, many of which still exist as hidden dangers.
