Extraordinary Sailing

An oil painting laid flat on canvas is just like an ancient painting bought from a gallery at a high price. Not to mention swelling and damage, even the paint on it is still brilliant.

It's just that there are some cracks in the paint that are inevitable for ancient paintings, but not only does it not damage its value, but it looks more like an antique.

"Isn't even this painting a secret treasure of the ocean?"

Observe carefully.

The subject of the painting is a slowly capsizing sailing ship, more precisely a flute-shaped ship that was very popular in the Old World 300 years ago.

Of course, popularity is not because of its outstanding performance.

It is because the port entry tax of various countries was collected according to the area of ​​the top deck of the ship. The flute-shaped ship has an extremely narrow deck and a wide belly, which is obviously a clever tax avoidance design.

Moreover, this type of ship is relatively easy to operate (especially for sailing), and requires less manpower than other ship types. So for a certain period of time, this kind of merchant ship was popular because the operating cost was only half of other ship types.

However, the design of the ship’s inclination also makes the center of gravity too high, the turning radius is large, it is easy to roll, the navigation performance is extremely poor, and it is not suitable for ocean sailing!

And then there is the most special point

It's just that the ship in the painting is vaguely similar to the dilapidated shipwreck lying on the flat ground.

Of course, oil paintings are not photos after all, and the details are handled in a very general way. Even if Aiwen has a "digital vision", there is no strong reference value.

But at least it is certain that they are all ancient flute-shaped ships.

"Filled up from a sunken ship, an ancient painting of a sinking ship?

Moreover, if there is not this real boat here, and I fished it up with my own hands, I must think that this is really an antique, right? "

But the unscathed appearance gave it away!

Aiwen quietly opened the spiritual vision, the extraordinary aura that is completely different from the self-obscurity of the mysterious baby of the ocean, flashing with disgusting wavelengths, black gray, sauce green, scarlet are all unpleasant colors mixed together Body, gloomy and restless.

Slowly retracting the hand that was about to touch it, Ivan frowned and looked at the Sirius soldiers who hadn't left yet:

"Who found this painting before?"

All the soldiers in the queue looked at each other, but no one stood up.

"Um?"

Aiwen immediately noticed something was wrong, these guys could not refuse or conceal their orders.

Unless no one has touched the painting at all or the people who have touched the painting have

When he turned his head to look at the painting again, Ivan was already looking at a rattlesnake spitting out venom, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Tread

It has nothing to do with strength or not, it is just the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

soon.

"Report sir, Jeremy is missing!"

The group of soldiers immediately counted the number of people, and they found that a companion was missing for no reason.

No one knows where he went.

And the last time he appeared in other people's sights was when he finished collecting the loot and lined up again.

Two soldiers assured Ivan that the soldier named Jeremy just now was still by his side, but no one noticed anything unusual before Ivan asked.

moment.

Although the sun was still shining brightly, everyone felt a chill on the back of their necks, as if a cold invisible person was blowing cold air on their backs

One by one, their eyes wandered and looked around, for fear that there was something weird here that would make them disappear silently.

at this time.

Milan next to him also noticed the abnormality here, put away the "storm bottle", and came to Aiwen.

After listening to him tell about his discovery.

Taking out his own crystal ball and fiddling with it for a while, Milan frowned and guessed uncertainly: "The shadow, the mist, the mandala, and the blood-dropping treasure are not a 'cursed object', right?"

"Cursed object?"

The current Aiwen is no longer Xiaobai at the beginning, of course he knows what the "cursed object" is.

In layman's terms, "cursed objects" generally refer to those things that will bring misfortune.

The main body is generally a variety of high-value jewelry and artworks, but anyone who collects them or even just contacts them will encounter different degrees of bad luck. Bizarre injuries, death, and disappearances are the most common consequences.

There is even one of the most famous "cursed things", which is known to many ordinary people.

That is the oldest and largest diamond in the world: "Mountain of Light".

Compared with the consequences of death and apparition, which are just small troubles, it is not even worthy of carrying shoes, because the disaster it brings to its master is-the destruction of the country!

According to legend, it is a symbol of power and wealth and a bane of bloodshed and death. Only the most powerful people (such as monarchs) are eligible to get it, but they will eventually lose their power because of it!

Years ago, after a native chief of the southern continent took it away from an unknown loa temple, disputes, blood and bad luck followed its owner at any time.

From the Southern Continent to the Old Continent, double-digit states and countries have already been destroyed!

And now it is inlaid on the crown exclusive to the pope of "Dawn and Dawn". It is not known whether it is because the mighty power of the true god is in effect or because the pope does not have his own country, the vicious curse has finally been terminated.

It also quietly relieved the monarchs of many countries.

There is another strongest "cursed object" that makes wizards and extraordinary people talk about it, and it exists in the famous curse school.

It was the collection of their final creation and ultimate knowledge, the gem known as "Black Orlof". Known as the source of all curses in the world, it is an unsolvable curse that even demigods cannot resist!

Of course, the latter has never been seen before, and it is very likely that the "cursed thing" is still in the mysterious source, and it has not been manifested by them at all.

It's just that they let out the wind to deter foreign enemies.

However, no matter what kind of "cursed object" it must be handled with care.

Because cursing is the most unreasonable thing.

If the object carrying the curse is damaged, no one can say whether the curse will disappear, or will be transferred or even explode in place.

Even if it is sent to the church for purification, it may not work.

Aiwen felt that he had taken over another hot potato this time, and the antiques he harvested were not worth his mental damage.

"Should we just put it back in the boat and sink it in the sea again?"

Then Milan had an idea.

"All right"

After thinking about it, Ivan didn't have any better way, so he nodded and accepted Milan's proposal. As long as it doesn't cause trouble on its own territory, it can harm anyone as it pleases.

He was about to order the soldiers to send the damn thing back to the ship.

This strange oil painting has undergone a new change.

The flute-shaped ship in the picture sank completely, but a young man in the military uniform of Cyrus gradually floated up and gradually approached the canvas of the oil painting.

"Ah! That's Jeremy, he's in the painting!"

Someone in the queue exclaimed.

Then see.

As if separated by a thick layer of tempered glass, the young soldier whose whole body was painted with oil paint uttered a silent cry, his hands constantly beating the boundary between two-dimensional and three-dimensional.

As if shouting: "Let me out! Let me out!"

Not only did this weird scene not make his companions want to rescue him, but they all took another big step back.

Especially seeing the face made of oil paint clinging to the surface of the canvas trying to get out, even Milan who was standing next to him shuddered.

Whoosh—

When Gary saw this, he felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He stepped in front of the two of them, drew out his saber and pointed at the oil painting.

This is how to do?

This thing was weird in the first place, but no one dared to touch it now. If you touch it, you will be imprisoned in it without a sound, and you will become that ghost, which is worse than death.

However, instead of feeling scared, Aiwen showed a little understanding on his face, and took out a silver dagger from the "magic pocket" and stepped forward a few steps.

brush! brush!

After gesticulating twice against the painting, the tip of the blade almost scratched the canvas of the oil painting.

"Hey, inside! Come out and talk?"

This scene also looks a little weird.

Talking to this oil painting, it's not that Ivan's spirit was affected by it and something went wrong.

Instead, he confirmed one thing from the sudden change just now, that is, this painting has its own consciousness and can understand the conversations of several of them.

And "it" very much does not want to be thrown back into the water again!

"Oh, you may not recognize my dagger.

Even though it looks ordinary, it is the 'Rune Silver Dagger · Demon Breaking' produced by the 'Starry Night Sect', which has magical effects on spiritual bodies such as resentful spirits and evil spirits.

It is really a must-have product for home travel, killing people and stealing goods.

I heard that it can also repel evil spirits, and even harm the core concepts that constitute them, don't you want to try it? "

The voice just fell.

The struggling young man in the painting froze slightly, then continued to slap the invisible barrier, as if he didn't understand Ai Wen's words at all.

"this"

Of course, Aiwen doesn't have another "Demon Breaker", and the only one has already been used to obtain "Evil Spirit Dust", just trying to cheat it.

However, although the consciousness hidden in it seems not very bright because it has not seen the sun for hundreds of years, it has an instinct to pretend, it is a "cursed object"!

There is a saying among extraordinary people: "Never believe in a thinking thing, unless you know where his brain is hidden!"

Scratching his head, he was about to think of a way to force out the "brain" in the painting.

"Crack!"

Kaka, who had been hiding in Aiwen's shadow all this time, suddenly jumped out, and before he could react, he also became a two-dimensional existence and got into the oil painting.

Soon the painting was no longer silent, as if there was the sound of boiling water.

Gululu

The pictures are like dyes that have been overturned and then stirred continuously, blurring into pictures of death of different people in different ages.

subsequently.

An old man's vague voice suddenly came out:

"Ah! Stinky lizard, get out! You're crushing my feet!"

And every word is used in the language of different countries, and the languages ​​of eight countries have been used in just one sentence.
