The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 1267 The Storm Is Coming
Miranda made an innocuous little joke, as if she wanted to ease and bring her relationship with Lin Tianci closer.

This is not uncommon. Anywhere, there is a desire to respect and win over powerful spellcasters. Lin Tianci's claim that he can deal with several pirate ships is still unproven bragging, but it is obvious to all when he goes crazy at the port.

After a little joke, Miranda added:
"We need to stop at a small island on the way to replenish fresh water and spend the night."

Because the departure was very urgent, the three ships only brought conveniently stored food, not much fresh water resources.

Lin Tianci originally wanted to say that I have a water-cleaning gourd in my hand, and the capacity of one hundred and eight thousand catties should be enough to drink for a while.

But think about it, although the ship is not a big ship, there are hundreds of people on a ship, and there are more than 300 people on three ships.

On average, there isn't much water, especially if you don't know how long you will need to sail to catch up with the pirates.

There is water in the water-cleaning gourd, there is no need to say it outright now, maybe it can be kept as an alternative.

As for how to chase pirates, Miranda obviously has a plan in mind. Although Lin Tianci should be more careful about this princess who has a lot of eyes, there is no need for him to rush to worry about Danshui.

So he swallowed back the words on his lips, and turned to say:
"Why spend the night?"

Originally, they were one night behind the pirates, and if they docked for another night, the distance would be even further.

"It seems that Mr. Lin doesn't know much about life at sea. You can tell from the weather that a storm is about to meet us tonight."

storm?

you sure?
Lin Tianci really doesn't know anything about sailing. He grew up inland in both his lifetimes. Let alone sailing, the number of times he has seen the sea is limited.

As far as the scenery Lin Tianci saw when he was blowing the wind outside just now, it was basically a sunny day, and there was no sign of any storm approaching at all.

But having said that, 90% of the plane of Lemuria is sea water, so the locals are naturally more proficient in navigation.

Lin Tianci, a layman, questioned the professionalism of other experts, which seemed a bit too pissy for a keyboard warrior.

So he nodded. Although he still didn't believe that there would be a storm, he didn't continue to ask more questions.

Maybe it was to hit Lin Tianci in the face. As soon as he finished asking, he felt that the light began to dim.

Then I looked out the glass window of the bridge, and saw a large thick dark cloud appearing in the clear sky in the distance, like some kind of huge beast, slowly approaching...

–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

The temper of the sea can be described as moody. Even in the 21st century, with the assistance of various advanced instruments and equipment, it is impossible to thoroughly understand the changes in the sea.

At this time, we can see the importance of experience.

The sky was clear one second, and the next second dark clouds approached, and a strong storm was about to come.

However, this was predicted in advance, so Miranda decided to stay overnight at a nearby anchorage to replenish fresh water and avoid the storm by the way.

Regardless of whether these three ships belong to the category of warships, because they are related to the Clippers, the shape of the hull is helpful for acceleration, but it is not conducive to stability.

It can run fast in sea conditions where the waves are not too high. Once it breaks into a storm, this kind of fast boat can easily be overturned.

Before the sunset and the storm engulfed them, the three ships turned slightly, and it didn't take long for Lin Tianci to see the shape of a small island appearing at the far end of the sea level.

Soon, the fleet approached the island and planned to dock at the pier on one side.

And this pier...

To be honest, it is not the same as the wharf in Lin Tianci's impression.

The size of the island is small, and it is all stones.

Rather than saying it is an island, it is better to say that this is a peak of a submarine mountain range above the water. Of course, the area is not an island that can be settled.

The entire stone island has traces of being repaired, and the pier where the three ships approach is the J-shaped safe haven dug out of it.

As the boat approached the pier, the boat slowly slowed down. When it bypassed the wind-shielding 'wall', two huge murals carved out of the mountain wall appeared in front of Lin Tianci.

Their height is about 30 to 40 meters, and they should all depict images of women, at least they should look like women.

The relief on the left side is engraved with a round-necked bottle with a hug, and a trickle pours down from the bottle mouth. She is wearing a dress similar to a nun's costume. She closes her eyes tightly, with a gentle expression on her face. Although she doesn't open her eyes, she also gives People seem to be looking at the feeling of slowly approaching the ship.

Another relief is wearing full-body heavy armor, holding a warhammer and a large kite shield. On the shield surface, you can see a wave-like emblem, and the handle of the warhammer is engraved with thunder-like runes.The details on the relief are very realistic, and the two heroic eyebrows on the face can be seen clearly, just like a female general standing in front of her, she is like a guard who never closes her eyes, always looking for With all threats,.

These two murals are definitely not natural scenery, but countless craftsmen hammered them out bit by bit with hammers and iron brazing.

Under these two huge murals, you can see an oval doorway about 6 meters high and 4 meters wide, leading to the interior of this stone island.

Not too far in front of the mural, in an open space of about 20 meters, there is a wooden pier lying there, which seems to be maintained occasionally, so there is no sign of excessive decay.

The three ships approached the safe haven, and they quickly stopped and anchored, and fixed the ropes firmly on the pier to prevent the ships from drifting away.

Then Miranda directed the sailors to remove water containers such as empty wooden barrels from the ship. Don't forget that one of the important reasons for them to dock here is to replenish fresh water.

Although based on the current visual inspection, Lin Tianci really didn't see any signs of fresh water.

In addition to carrying empty barrels, some other people brought down tents or sleeping bags, and seemed to be planning to set up a camp in the open space in front of the mural.

Because the mural itself is taken out of the mountain, a little further from the pier is the curved mountain above the head, like a huge eaves that can shelter from the wind and rain, it is a good place to camp.

Everyone was very busy, Lin Tianci, a big idler, looked left and right, there was nothing he could do to help, or he wanted to be lazy, so he walked around quietly to see the situation.

The most suspicious thing is the doorway between the two huge murals.

Lin Tianci saw a sailor walking towards the door opening with a bucket pushing it. He estimated that there was no danger, so he followed.

The door opening itself has not been modified too much, it is just dug out.

After entering the doorway, a cavity about 20-25 meters high and with an area of ​​almost a thousand square meters comes into view.

It should have been directly dug out of the mountain by craftsmen. With the current level of productivity, even with the assistance of magic, it is definitely a super project to dig out such a large cavity.

The ground here is soft sand, not pure stones, and some traces of people camping can be seen near the door, and there is a smell of firewood and a faint smell of alcohol in the air.

Saili has always been online all the time, but she is not very willing to talk to outsiders. At this time, no one pays attention to Lin Tianci, so she said:

"Depending on the situation, someone lived here in about a day or two. From the distance, maybe the gang of pirates stayed here."

Lemuria is a plane with very little land, and of course there are few fresh water resources. Fortunately, there is abundant rainfall, so most of the locals have facilities to collect rainwater, and use magic to filter it into drinking water.

Of course, it is impossible for pirates to swagger into the city to replenish fresh water. A completely uninhabited island with fresh water like this will of course become a place frequented by pirates.

But speaking of fresh water, as soon as Lin Tianci came in, he could hear the sound of splashing water. As far as this movement was concerned, the flow of water was not too small, almost like a small waterfall.

The sound came from the other side facing the door opening, where a pool could be seen, and the spring water gushing from the mountain wall above kept pouring into the pool.

The pool itself may be connected to the outside, because no matter how much it was filled, the pool never overflowed.

Miranda said that the target of replenishing fresh water should be the pool. The sailors who came in before Lin Tianci had already pushed the barrels past.

"Go to the right, there seems to be a statue over there."

In this huge mountain cavity, one side is a water source similar to a small waterfall, and Saili is talking about the other side.

Lin Tianci walked in the direction Saili said, bypassing some uneven mountain walls, and a stone statue about 15 meters high came into view.

Like the mural outside, this is a statue of a woman holding a bowl-shaped object in one hand and holding a trident in the other.

The clothes on his body are more similar to the gauze of the style of Roman robes, because he posed in a posture with his hands raised forward, one of his thighs was exposed.

A rectangular stone platform can be seen under the statue. The stone platform itself is engraved with many decorative patterns, most of which represent waves of the sea.

There are still a lot of fruits on the stone platform, and they don't seem to have any signs of decay. They should have been placed recently.

It feels like this stone platform is more like an incense table, or an altar.

"This is not an ordinary stone sculpture, it is a statue of a god."

Sally looked at it and recognized it:
"Judging from my knowledge about gods, I can't tell which goddess she is for the time being."

"Is this actually a temple?"

The two huge murals on the stone wall in front of the entrance are strange enough. Why are there two huge reliefs carved in this place where no one lives?

But if it is a temple, then it is understandable, after all, it is the meaning of faith.

"It should be right. If you go further, I can see some words on both sides of the statue."

The year number here should be quite short. Although the characters carved on the stone are in the common language, they are covered by dust, so they are not very clear.

When Lin Tianci got closer to what Saili said, Saili struggled to identify:
"Inscribed on it are the goddess' teachings and some basic information. Her name is Philohill, and she is the god of the sea and war."

"The priests we saw at the port seem to believe in this goddess?"

"Well, this is her temple. That's right. There is also a little bit of divine power remaining on the statue. Maybe this goddess used this place to descend or perform miracles a long time ago."

The gods in the multiverse world are all real. They can perform miracles, release divine power, and even the saints descend to appear in front of believers.

Then Sally said:

"But this idol is kind of weird...it feels very dull to me."

So what?Is it possible that the god statue can still be alive?
