Chapter 285 The Fog Is Coming

"Am I back in time again?"

After listening to the waiter's words, Xia En also had such a question in his mind.

But soon, he made a judgment.

No, that's not the case.

Although the [Diamond Star] in this space is extremely new, the people on the ship look just like living humans.

But this false sea and sky itself is the biggest loophole!

In Xia En's guess, this space, just like the copy of the promotion ceremony, is a limited "box garden world."

In gaming terms.

This [Diamond Star] is the entire scene in this space.

The places farther away are all "ungenerated areas" that cannot be explored, and you may even encounter an "air wall" - a barrier in this space.

As for the tourists and waiters on the ship, they are similar to the characters in the promotion copy and are NPCs in this scene.

Therefore, Xia En did not go back to the past, but just entered a historical flashback and mistakenly entered a strange space.

This gives a glimpse into a hidden corner of the past.

However, although there are many similarities between this space and the fourth-level promotion ritual, there are also obvious differences.

For example, Shane and Joey directly entered this space with their bodies.

If they are fatally injured here, they might really die!

Rather than just a failure in promotion like the promotion ritual.

on the other hand.

The promotion ritual at least told Xia En what his mission was, and he had a clear goal and direction.

But right now, Xia En doesn't know what he should do now.

He doesn't know what to do to leave this space.

After thinking for a moment, Xia En asked the waiter a few more questions and got a preliminary understanding of the information about the [Diamond Star].

According to the waiter.

[Diamond Star] This trial voyage started from the Qingfeng Port in the Great Yan Kingdom, and traveled across several sea areas and passed through more than ten kingdoms on the southern continent. After arriving at the Green Harbor at the southernmost tip of the continent, it returned on the same route. .

But now, the [Diamond Star] has already embarked on its return journey and has entered the scope of the [Cold Sea].

The distance from the destination, Great Yan Country, is not too far.

"[Lengliehai]..."

Xia En turned his head and looked at the calm sea.

The [Cold Sea] in the old era does not seem to be as cold as after the great flood.

The sea breeze blowing from the sea is only slightly cool, like a cool autumn breeze, which is completely within the acceptable range.

Judging from the appearance alone, it is difficult to imagine that this will be the cold and murderous sea area of ​​​​later generations.

"Could it be that before the great flood came, the temperature in [Lenglie Sea] was not as low as in later generations?"

A guess came to Xia En's mind.

After all, the Great Yan Kingdom was founded in the far north. If the far north is really covered with glaciers and extremely cold like in later generations.

The survival of ordinary civilians has become a problem. How can one build a huge kingdom?

Thinking further, could the drop in temperature in the northern seas be related to the coming of a major flood?

Putting away his complicated thoughts, Shane took Joey and the waiter away and walked towards the restaurant on the ship.

The current situation is unclear.

Instead of wandering around like a headless fly or going on a violent rampage, it's better to let nature take its course and play your role well.

Just like in some games, you have to follow the mission process before you can trigger important plots.

…

…

Not long after.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Xia En and the two came to the restaurant in the cabin.

After walking through the door, the sight in front of them surprised them both.

The hall in front of you is extremely magnificent. The color is mainly dark with dark gold, with some deep red in between. It is a luxurious style favored by nobles.

Large areas of murals are painted on the walls, with exquisite brushwork and delicate painting style. At first glance, they are the work of everyone.

A gorgeous and exquisite chandelier hangs in the center of the restaurant, and various accessories are displayed throughout the hall.

The luxury of this restaurant alone is comparable to the palace in [Coral City] that Xia En had seen before.

After all, Xia En had seen a lot of the world during several expeditions, so he was not too surprised.

But Joey lives at sea and has rarely seen such luxurious halls, so he couldn't help but let out a small exclamation.

This low cry immediately attracted the attention of many people in the restaurant.

Some people's eyes unconsciously revealed a look of disdain.

But when they saw Xia En, they suppressed their disdain.

There was a low murmur of conversation among the crowd.

"I heard that His Highness Xia En's wife is the daughter of a commoner. Now it seems that it is indeed the case..."

"Hush, be quiet."

At this moment, looking at the people in the restaurant, Xia En finally realized the source of his previous strange feeling.

On this ship, except for the waiters and the sailors responsible for the operation of the ship, there are all people with gorgeous clothes and high status.

He looked like he was either a noble or a businessman.

There were no ordinary civilians among them, not even one!

This discovery made Xia En frown slightly.

From a rational analysis, the [Diamond Star] is still in the trial voyage stage. Only wealthy nobles and businessmen can board the ship. It is barely understandable to participate in this trial.

But the problem is...

The original positioning of [Diamond Star] was to be a "Noah's Ark" that would leave a spark of civilization for mankind.

However, on such a ship, there were no civilians.

Instead, there were luxurious restaurants, gorgeous murals, and men and women at the top of society.

Could it be that only nobles and businessmen were considered human beings?

Thinking of this, Shane felt inexplicably depressed.

The world is equal.

But there are always some people who are more equal than others.

However, at this time, Shane also found that the character he was playing now seemed to be a prince of a certain kingdom.

Even among the many nobles in the restaurant, he was considered to have a higher status.

The respectful eyes and humble demeanor of some nobles were proof of this.

After hearing the whispers of some people in the restaurant, Joey's body was obviously a little stiff, and she wanted to lower her head to avoid those eyes with various emotions.

In fact, deep in her heart, Joey always had a bit of inferiority complex.

This was related to her childhood experience.

Even with the help of Shane, this inferiority complex has been mostly eliminated, and she has gradually become cheerful and sunny.

But at this time, the eyes of these nobles are like arrows, piercing the most vulnerable part of Joey's heart, as if she has returned to the days when she was despised, rejected, and expelled.

Just then.

"Joey, raise your head."

Shane's gentle and powerful voice sounded in the girl's ears.

"Don't care about their words, you are my wife now, and they should feel inferior."

"...Yes."

Joey's expression gradually changed, and she said to herself in her heart.

"There is nothing to be afraid of, Joey!"

She didn't need to feel inferior to these strangers, and besides, there was the captain by her side.

But...

Wife?

Hearing this title from Shane's mouth, the girl's pretty face was slightly hot, as if a little deer was jumping in her heart.

It is obviously a simple word, why does it sound so happy?

If she wasn't in front of everyone, she might have hummed a song out of joy.

Joey suppressed her excitement, raised her pointed chin, and looked around at the people in the restaurant.

After awakening the Siren bloodline for so long, Joey has grown very beautiful now.

In addition to this gorgeous purple dress, when the red eyes reveal a cold emotion, it will undoubtedly give people a lot of pressure.

Those who were swept by her eyes couldn't help but feel ashamed and fell silent one by one.

Shane encouraged and shook Joey's little hand, leading her forward.

Perhaps it was Joey's eyes that made her look difficult to mess with, or perhaps Shane's identity made everyone feel afraid.

Anyway, after this, the whispers nearby stopped.

People turned their eyes away and stopped making any unwarranted criticisms.

At this time, Shane's attention was focused on other places in the restaurant.

He found that there were many exquisite foods on the dining table in the restaurant, with styles of different kingdoms, showing the status of the upper class.

Obviously, the food on the Diamond Star was not only not lacking, but also extremely sufficient.

However, Shane did not plan to eat in the restaurant.

——This space is full of weirdness, who knows what will happen after eating these foods.

Soon, a fat middle-aged man noticed Shane's arrival.

He quickly stood up, walked to Shane, and greeted him respectfully.

"His Highness Shane, good day."

Shane looked at the middle-aged man and found that he was wearing a special uniform, and his identity seemed to be different from other people in the restaurant.

"... Who are you?"

Seeing that Shane did not recognize him, the middle-aged man did not care, but said with a smile.

"I am the captain of the Diamond Star, Luther."

"We met when we boarded the ship."

Shayne raised his eyebrows and murmured, "Captain of the Diamond Star?"

He looked at the fat man in front of him with a smirk on his face and his eyes were almost squeezed into a slit by fat, and his expression couldn't help but be a little strange.

Because the name of the Diamond Star is so loud, it is even widely circulated in the Seven Seas in later generations.

So, in Shane's original expectation, the captain of this ship should be a heroic, brave and capable person.

But Luther who appeared in front of him now undoubtedly crushed this expectation directly.

From the breath perception.

Luther's strength seems to be indeed not weak, maybe even stronger than Shane.

But his greasy face and flattering temperament completely destroyed the image of a strong man.

Of course.

Shayne is not the kind of person who judges people by appearance. Maybe Luther deliberately uses this image to hide his shortcomings?

He did not despise Luther, but chatted with the captain casually.

Soon, Shane found that Captain Luther was by no means a good-for-nothing idiot.

When talking about the customs and specialties of each kingdom, and even the famous figures on the continent, Luther could talk freely and clearly.

When facing other nobles, Luther could also find the most appropriate attitude to talk.

This kind of skillful way of dancing with long sleeves is a skill in itself!

But to be honest.

This captain gave Shane the feeling that he was more like a socialite in the upper class, rather than someone who could be entrusted with such an important task as the captain.

Thinking of this, Shane felt a little uneasy.

After all, the style of the crew on a ship can be seen from the captain.

Even the captain looks like this, most of the other crew members will be a little unreliable.

Moreover, since waking up in the room, Shane has always had an ominous premonition in his heart.

It seems that something bad is about to happen!

This premonition is getting stronger with the passage of time.

But Shane doesn't know where this premonition comes from.

"Speaking of the Breeze Port in Da Yan Country, we have to mention a local specialty..."

Just when Luther was enthusiastically introducing the specialty food at the end of this trip to Shane.

Suddenly, a cry came from a corner of the restaurant.

"Fog! It's foggy!"

"...Huh?"

Hearing the cry, Luther walked to the window, looked out, and then muttered softly.

"It's really foggy... Strange, looking at the sky these days, it should be sunny."

Xia En's expression suddenly changed, and he looked down at Joey beside him.

The two looked at each other, and they could see the doubt in each other's eyes.

Foggy weather may be just an accidental event for the people on the ship.

But for them, it is not the case.

Don't forget that they were in the [Fog Sea] before entering this strange space.

Moreover, according to rumors circulating on the sea, the [Diamond Star]... was lost in a fog!

Xia En also looked out the window.

I saw that the expanding and contracting fog gradually formed on the sea surface, silently wrapping the [Diamond Star] in it.

Moreover, the white fog became thicker visibly.

The visibility around dropped rapidly.

It was as if a giant beast made of fog swallowed the ship into its belly.

Such strange and turbulent fog naturally surprised some passengers on the ship.

But Shane found that not many people were panicked, let alone fear.

As if seeing Shane's strange mood, Luther comforted him.

"Don't worry, Your Highness Shane."

"The Diamond Star is the best!"

Luther's tone was quite proud: "Before, we have experienced three big storms and a tsunami, and it has survived all of them safely."

Shane wanted to tell him that the fog was different this time, but Luther would not believe it even if he told him.

Shane just reminded him softly: "It's better to be cautious."

Luther obviously didn't take it seriously and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Your Highness Shane!"

"It's just a fog. What impact can it have on the Diamond Star?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking.

There was a muffled "boom".

Deep in the cabin of this big ship, there was a faint explosion-like roar!
