On the Seven Towers

"I don't think so." Luo Ling took a sip of wine and said, "The memories of the gods are incomplete. According to He Xiaoxi, she doesn't know what happened here before.

When she was talking about this violent sea that day, I vaguely saw a hint of instinctive resistance in her expression.

Couldn't gods, who can come and go without a trace, easily cross this sea area? Why is her memory of this place so vague that it feels like she heard it from hearsay? "

Xiao Chen held his chin and said: "What you said seems to make sense. After saying this to you, I recalled the scene when she talked about this place. It gave me this feeling. So what have you discovered through this voyage? ?”

Luo Ling said: "I tried to put my spiritual power out in such an environment."

"God, you're here again. No one knows how brave you are." Xiao Chen grabbed Luo Ling's wrist and used his mental strength to carefully feel the state of her body and soul. After a while, he let go. "No wonder you've been so distracted lately, your soul has been damaged."

"But I did find something." Luo Ling said with a nonchalant smile, "When my mental power broke through these magical turbulence, I discovered a strange attribute vaguely behind them. The feeling it gave me was the same as It’s very similar to the feeling when the Seven Towers turned into crystal.”

"Turn into crystal?" Xiao Chen was stunned. "Are you referring to the conversion between dimensions? That feeling of high-dimensional space?"

Luo Ling nodded: "The same feeling was experienced when we first crossed the parallel space."

"So the origin of this violent sea is not simple?"

"Well, maybe it involves something very fundamental to this world. But what it is, I don't know yet..."

———————————————

Repairing a ship is not a simple matter. Xiao Chen's team stayed on the island for two nights before completing the most basic rest and preparation work.

Early on the third day, they left the island and continued to sail west.

The records did not say how far the Sea of ​​Violence was from the Western Continent, so Xiao Chen's fleet could only keep moving forward in the right direction.

At noon on the fourth day, the mage in charge of the observation reported that a ship seemed to be spotted in the distance, but there was some smoke on the ship for some reason, which prevented him from seeing the ship clearly from high altitude.

Xiao Chen immediately ordered the two ships to move closer to that side. After another ten minutes, the people on the ship could already see a faint black spot in the distance. Sure enough, there was a thick white smoke above the black spot.

The ship was also sailing westward, but its speed was slightly slower than that of Houyi and Xingtian, so the two ships slowly caught up.

"Why does this ship feel familiar?" Xiao Chen personally released the Mage's Eye and let the high-speed Mage's Eye catch up with the ship from behind. However, after observing the ship, he was stunned. .

"What's going on?" Luo Ling asked.

"You must not believe what I saw..." Xiao Chen scratched his head in confusion and said, "I seem to have seen a steamship!"

Luo Ling said: "Steam ship? Is there a mistake? Didn't you say that these are all particularly backward barbarians?"

"It's that kind of ship. You can see it with your own mage's eyes. It's like... the Titanic in the movie, you know? It's that kind of steamship with a big smokestack."

Xiao Chen ordered a full-speed pursuit. When they were close enough to the ship, everyone could see it clearly. Although the mages had already seen its appearance clearly with the eyes of the mages, when it came to their eyes and could see it clearly with their eyes, they still felt shocked.

It was a large steel ship in the true sense. Both the hull and the buildings on the deck were made of steel. There were two huge chimneys on the ship, and white smoke was billowing out of them.

The ship is gray all over, with red patterns painted on the sides and superstructure. The ship has no oars or sails, but it can be seen from the churning water behind it that more than one propeller is turning underwater.

At first glance, this ship looks about the same size as the Hou Yi.

Ma Anmin looked at the ship and said, "What's going on? Could it be that we crossed back through the Raging Sea, right? We're still at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century?"

No, no, although it looks similar in general, many details are very different from those on Earth. Especially the boat with its superstructure has a strange and exotic feel. "

Xiao Chen said: "Look what kind of ship this looks like."

"There are no cannons or fishing nets on this ship. It looks like a cruise ship from the steam era." Ma Anmin said, "If this is the ship built by people from the Western Continent, then how can this be a backward continent? "

Xiao Chen said: "Continue to move closer to them. We should be able to figure out the situation in the Western Continent from them."

Xiao Chen's Houyi and Xingtian were chasing each other closer and closer, and naturally the other party's ship had already discovered them. I saw a few people who looked like sailors running to the back of the ship, holding something like binoculars to observe their situation.

Then someone started waving a small flag at them.

"There are actually flags?" Ma Anmin said.

"What do these guys mean? Those people seem a little nervous." Xiao Chen asked.

Ma Anmin said: "I don't understand. How can the semaphore invented here in the Western Continent be the same as other places? How about we still shout to them?"

Xiao Chen nodded in agreement.

After a while, the sound amplification array on the ship was ready. Xiao Chen said to a small array on the bridge: "Attention, ship ahead, we are visitors from the East Continent, we came here after crossing the violent sea. We brought all kinds of goods and friendship. I hope you can let us go on board and have a good talk with you."

The sailors were frightened by the sudden loud voice, but they seemed to understand Xiao Chen's words. After he repeated it twice, those people sent two people to report to the chief on the ship in a hurry.

And Xiao Chen and others did not give any response for a long time. On the contrary, the white gas coming out of the chimney suddenly became more, and the steel ship began to speed up as much as possible.

"Chairman Xiao, it seems that they don't buy your account, but they are a little scared."

Xiao Chen said: "If the mountain doesn't come, I will go, so let's go to their ship to visit."

Xiao Chen called Luo Ling, Mei Tiantian and Huang Zheng, and prepared to take them to the other side's ship to find out.

The four of them came to the front deck of the Houyi, then flew up from the front deck of the Houyi and flew towards the opponent's ship.
