Chapter 551 Skull Gate

The ship is not a small object, especially from the appearance, it is actually a large warship, it is impossible to transport it from the passage.

And it is impossible to be a dwarf's creation, the shape is far from it, and the shape is actually not much different from the warships used by the demons now. Considering the degree of decay, it is very likely that it was stranded here in the last 100 to 300 years.

Aoerdai's curiosity was immediately ignited.

Of course, curiosity is curiosity, but caution must also be taken.

The three of them moved deeper along the edge of the beach. Since the visual limit of the dark vision spell and the innate dark vision ability is far less than the distance under normal light, in their field of vision, it is pitch black beyond 30 meters, so they must be extra careful not to make any noise when moving.

Just like this, the three finally moved to the side of the stranded warship.

Aoerdai gently stroked the rotten wooden boards of the warship with her fingers, shook her staff, and sent out a secret eye to connect with her optic nerve.

The Secret Eye flew over the warship like an aerial drone, and the entire ship came into view clearly.

The stern of the ship seemed to be smashed by something, probably a monster in the sea. You can see very obvious tearing marks, which is definitely not caused by decay. Perhaps this is why it ran aground here.

Except for the stern, all parts are well preserved. Aoerdai can vaguely recognize that under the moss on the other side of the ship, there is a paint-written "Skull Gate".

Wait, Skull Gate?

Aoerdai knew this place. She controlled the Secret Eye to fly towards the mast, and finally saw some rotten black cloth at the top of the mast.

That was the pirate flag.

Zora watched the darkness around him vigilantly, approached Aoerdai and whispered:

"Miss Aoerdai, did you find anything?"

"It's a big discovery, but unfortunately, this place can't be announced, otherwise it will definitely drive scholars in the entire academic city crazy."

Aoerdai covered one eye. Although her voice was also low, she could not hide her excitement.

"This ship is the Skull Gate, the ship of the legendary pirate Cyrcles."

As mentioned before, the map of the Demon Realm is like a knife cutting an egg in half. The large piece is divided by the seven Demon Kingdoms, while the small piece is isolated overseas.

The Skull Gate is the name of the place isolated overseas.

Compared with the continent that has been occupied by civilization, there are still a large number of monsters and barbaric and primitive tribes on the isolated islands overseas, but there are many high-quality resources there, attracting a large number of gold diggers and colonists.

Among them, Cyrcles is the most famous one.

Cyrcles, whose origin is unknown, once became a refugee due to war. When he was trying to make a living in a coastal city, he was forcibly recruited by the Navy of the Demon Kingdom of Tandelon as a sailor.

Later, in an operation to eliminate pirates, he became a prisoner of pirates again. Since he was a civilian and had no relatives, naturally no one would pay the ransom, so he became a pirate.

It is not clear what happened during his time as a pirate, but it is certain that he spent ten years from a sailor on a pirate ship to a pirate leader.

It is equivalent to a cleaner in a company becoming a chairman.

This man is ruthless and cunning. Not only did he make the navy that came to encircle him run around, but he also merged several pirate groups little by little, forming a huge force that even official forces were afraid of.

Later, in order to facilitate supplies and feel that there was no future in being a pirate for a lifetime, he used the looted treasure to build a city called Skull Port, and transformed himself from a pirate leader to a legal city lord.

When Cyrcles was sixty years old, he may have felt that he still belonged to the sea, so he suddenly gave up the position of city lord to his son and led his flagship away from Skull Port.

No one knows where he went. Some people say that he was assassinated by conspiracy shortly after he set sail, and some say that he found a huge treasure that was astonishing and eventually died in the treasure with his crew. In short, there are all kinds of rumors.

This happened about 150 years ago, and the degree of corruption of the ship is just right.

Why did a pirate ship belonging to a legendary pirate, which was sailing on the sea, run to the underground ruins?

This is no longer a place that can be reached by sailing alone, this ruin is in the demiplane!

And what exactly made this legendary pirate leave the place where he had run his business for half his life and only took the flagship ship to find it?

Ordai, it's ignited again!

"Come with me, let's go up and see if there are any logbooks or something like that."

Any secret is worth solving, the difference lies in the value, and Ordai can't wait to see what the legendary pirate looks like in the end.

But at this moment, a sound of water splashing broke into the ears of the three people, like a basin of cold water poured on Ordai's face, making her calm down all of a sudden.

This movement sounded like something coming out of the water.

Alde immediately released the hand covering her eyes, and quickly made two spellcasting gestures, casting the invisibility ball again, making the three people invisible and protected.

Then, she covered one eye again and used the flying secret eye above to search the surroundings.

The Mystic Eye has arcane vision, night vision, and the ability to see through illusions, plus it can fly in the sky, which is very useful for reconnaissance.

She found the source of the sound without any effort.

Several humanoid creatures emerged from the water and walked towards the shore step by step. At first, Alde thought they were undead creatures such as fishmen or drowned water ghosts, but after zooming in on the Mystic Eye, she could see clearly that they were actually sea hags.

Hags are spirit creatures, but there are many subspecies.

The most common one is actually the green hag, which looks like a typical old witch, with a big and long nose full of bubbles. The seemingly skinny body is actually very tall, and the physical strength is enough to tear tigers and leopards apart with bare hands.

Sea hags are a relatively rare type. From the name, it can be seen that this monster mainly lives on the coast or near water sources.

Unlike other witches, the skin of the sea witch is bluish-white, like a person who has been drowned and soaked in water for a long time, and the hair is like a combination of seaweed and kelp. When they swim underwater, it is difficult to tell from the surface whether it is a group of seaweed or a sea witch.

This ugly creature still has the standard evil nature of a witch. They hate all the beautiful things in the world and will destroy beautiful creations like crazy.

Let's put it this way, if the three of Aoerdai stood in front of the witch, the witch would go crazy because of jealousy of their beauty.

——It feels like déjà vu.

But then again, witches are difficult opponents for most ordinary people, but compared with Aoerdai, there is no comparison, not to mention that sea witches are the weakest among the witches.

It is estimated that there are four or five sea witches crawling out of the water, which is almost the number of a witch gathering. With these few witches, they can resist two rounds under the firepower output of high-level mages, which is awesome for them.

But then again, why the witches appeared here is actually more concerning than how powerful they are in fighting.
