Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 170 The Lighthouse, Victory! Pharaoh, Victory!
"Intelligence Eye, gather intelligence!"

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Ming sensed the arrival of the next day and silently recited the method for activating the Eye of Intelligence.

During this time, he had been trying his best to decipher the text on the 12 stone tablets. Strangely, in this star field, creatures did not even need to eat. Every time the starlight power replenished his spiritual power, it would also restore his physical strength, so he did not need to eat to maintain his strength.

He wanted to find out the origin of this star system.

Out of caution, Shi Ming did not use the system repository once during this period.

However, only he can see the interactions with the Eye of Intelligence.

Therefore, he can make appropriate use of it.

[Beep~ Beep~]

[Intelligence being compiled...]

[Searching. Confirming detailed coordinates...]

【…】

【…】

The Eye of Intelligence dripped for a long time, seemingly trying to confirm Shi Ming's current coordinates. Just when Shi Ming thought that even the Eye of Intelligence couldn't confirm his current coordinates, it finally gave feedback.

[Coordinates confirmed, search successful, intelligence summary in progress, intelligence generated.]

[Unclassified Intelligence: Spatial Prison and Civilization Monument]

This is a spatial prison carved out of the universe, reflecting an endless sea of ​​stars yet defying ordinary location; the method of entry is unknown. Within its walls lie twelve lost "Civilization Monuments," each inscribed with 1008 symbols composed of a vast stream of information.

This prison is sealed off; it is inaccessible, inaccessible, and escape is impossible.

[Unlocking Method: Decipher and master the symbols on all the original monuments of civilizations.]

[Note: The higher the mental strength, the faster the analysis speed.]

"It seems that the woman wasn't lying to me."

"To leave this place, the only way is to decipher the symbols on this stone tablet. The intelligence says that the higher one's mental strength, the faster the deciphering speed. As an Awakened One who takes 10 minutes to decipher just one character, I don't know if that's considered fast or slow?"

Without data for comparison, Shi Ming naturally couldn't understand whether his speed was good or bad.

"According to intelligence, these stone tablets are all treasures."

"I don't know if I can take it with me."

He tried to pry open the stone tablets floating in the starry sky, but found that they were as if they were imprisoned here and could not be moved at all.

I don't know if it will be stored in the system space.

He didn't try.

"I heeded the woman's warning: I must not let a second person know that I know this language, or I will be in big trouble."

"This stone tablet has an extraordinary origin. If I were to take it away, it might actually cause trouble. I should quickly finish deciphering the symbols here and return to the Dayun."

Shi Ming calmed down.

Continue to focus your mental energy on the stone tablet.

The sheer volume of information brought wave after wave of shocks, pain, and torment.

He gritted his teeth, enduring the immense mental strain.

……

……

……

The Pharaoh.

Ptolemy sat on his throne, and the Pharaoh's ship had been under construction for days. His golden dome had been restored, and his glorious palace once again shone with splendor.

However, the huge gap on one side of this admiral-class drifting ship will be difficult to completely repair to its original state.

Things are different now compared to the land-based era.

The difficulty of building and repairing the drifting ship has increased significantly.

As for the four-eyed cobra sculpture that symbolized the spirit of the Pharaoh, it was completely destroyed and broken. A large part of it was left on the seabed and could never be restored, becoming a scar that is difficult to heal.

Before this incident, Ptolemy had never imagined that anyone would dare to cause such damage to his Pharaoh, a seemingly ordinary and unremarkable drifting ship!
News of this spread throughout the endless ocean, and wherever the Pharaoh went, everyone was talking about it. What a disgrace!

Only the blood of the enemy can wash it away!
He has ordered all his drifting ships to report to him immediately if they spot the drifting ship in the Sea of ​​Yellow Sands, the Sea of ​​Desolation, or the Sea of ​​Boiling. Even if the other party is an S-rank Awakened, he will use his own methods to exact revenge.

He had this confidence because he received assistance from the lighthouse.

The day after the incident, the first governor of the lighthouse, Terlinden, contacted him personally.

Trinden vehemently condemned this wanton destruction of survival fortresses.

It also claimed that the lighthouse would provide the Pharaoh with sincere assistance.

But they also have some minor requests.

1. The Lighthouse stated that after "investigation and confirmation," it was discovered that S-class Awakened Jia Fang's ancestral home belonged to the Lighthouse, and the Lighthouse needed to return his remains to his hometown.

2. The Lighthouse is responsible for providing high-end combat power, while the Pharaoh is responsible for providing the ships and financial support needed for the operation.

3. The drifting ship suspected to be the Silver Ship will be recovered and studied by the Lighthouse to find the reason why it is immune to the [Suppression] trait. The research results will be synchronized to the Pharaoh for free.

4. The awakened one named "Stone" must be handed over to the Lighthouse for disposal.

Ptolemy found these demands somewhat ridiculous.

say nothing else,

The Jafar family has been people of the Pharaoh's country for generations. When did they acquire blood and ancestors from the Lighthouse?

But none of this matters.

It's just a corpse, and they want it? Give it to them.

However, there was one point that could not be compromised: the awakened one known as Stone must be executed by the Pharaoh himself in order to wash away the shame of the past! This was Ptolemy's bottom line!

After some negotiation, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

Lighthouses produce people.

The Pharaoh provided the treasure and the ship.

The man was handed over to the Pharaoh for execution, and his body was brought back by the lighthouse.

All other conditions remain unchanged.

that's it,
Before the operation even began, the two sides had already divided up the spoils of victory.

win!
……

……

……

The third day in the mysterious space.

Shi Ming's learning speed increased rapidly, and his progress was at least fifty percent faster than he had anticipated. His eyes were sparkling, and his mind was brimming with new knowledge.

Ten of the twelve original civilization steles have been analyzed, leaving only the last two.

If that mysterious woman knew about this progress, she would definitely be curious and bring Shi Ming back to her place to study him carefully.

But unfortunately,
She was busy, and her gaze had already shifted elsewhere.

I don't know when I'll be transferred to this prison again.

"The more you understand this language, the more you can appreciate its profoundness. It's just a pity that it is meaningless in itself."

"I'm getting more and more curious about what those mysterious inscriptions in the pyramids, written in these languages, actually say."

"Ugh!"

"I'm really exhausted these past few days. I've never worked this hard in my past life!"

After silently muttering a complaint, Shi Ming cleared his mind and began to rest. After analyzing each stone tablet, Shi Ming would spend twenty minutes allowing his mental energy to completely relax. Only by combining work and rest could he be more efficient.

He had been away from the Dayun for three days without making a single contact, and he had no idea how worried his crew members must be.

They might think that he, the captain, had met with misfortune while out there.

Fortunately, the dawn is just around the corner.

At the latest, in another half day, he will be able to fully control these stone tablets and return to his loyal Dayun Company!
