Chapter23 【Bernard's Diary】
The 18th day of the monsoon month of the year 1637 in the Calendar of Discovery.
morning.
windy.
The wind was blowing from the northeast, which just helped Ironhand Bert's boat to go with the wind.
For Li Jiu, it was a headwind.
You can't run away, little Ince.
Ironhand Bert stood on the bow of his ship, the Bert, facing the light sea fog and staring at the sea ahead.
He set out one day earlier than Li Jiu, just to snipe him.
Maybe I am not your opponent on land, but at sea, I am the real king!
His mind is still full of the scene that night when Li Jiu threatened him to the point where he almost knelt down. His iron-hand Burt, who has been traversing the sea for so many years, was actually frightened by a teenage child. He absolutely cannot tolerate this.
A shame.
He will definitely hang that damn boy from the mast today.
Wait for death, Ince boy, you will regret why you didn't kill me that day.
On the other side, on the Golden Holy Grail, Li Jiu and the others didn't sleep at all.
After arranging the defense of the entire ship, he personally inspected each place and encouraged the crew members with words from time to time.
After doing all this, he returned to the captain's cabin and began to wait, waiting for the long night to pass and waiting for the dawn to arrive.
Then he remembered that he hadn't read the fragment of the diary from his ancestor Bernard Fogg yet, and he had nothing to do anyway, so he might as well read it now to pass the time.
So he took out the lambskin diary and read it.
"...On the seventh day of the Breeze Month in the year 1511 of the Great Navigation, the weather was gloomy. After passing through a lot of fog, I finally arrived at the island, the island that kept appearing in my dreams.
Everyone is very happy, because according to the Kingdom's large-scale development law, any island that has not been officially marked will belong to the discoverer. There is no doubt that everyone who has been drifting on the sea for so many years will finally have their own place to stay.
It was ordered, so many people had already begun to cheer selflessly. The third mate Ellen was already asking people to bring out the few rums, and planned to have a carnival tonight.
And I, as the person who led everyone to find this island, naturally received the highest courtesy and was constantly thrown into the sky by everyone.
But my mood is very strange, I am a little excited, but this excitement comes more from the feeling after many years of dreams come true, rather than from being the master of an island, it is more from uneasiness, uneasiness, and
Confused, I don’t know what I will encounter on this island, and... are we really the owners of this island?
After the warm celebration, First Officer Affleck came to me and asked me to name the island. Almost without thinking, I read out a name that I kept hearing in my dreams.
Bald words - Innsmaus."
Seeing this, Li Jiu already felt something was wrong. This line of writing, this content, this tone...why is it so boring?
However, when he remembered that during the previous meeting, the rumor about the sea monster started to spread from the ancestors of the Fogg family, and this was the diary of the ancestors of the Fogg family who landed in Innsmouth, Li Jiu suddenly had a big idea.
I was interested in reading down, maybe I can find something useful?
The content that follows is bizarre and bizarre, almost like reading a certain Grammar novel.
Our ancestor, Bernard Fogg, kept describing various things he encountered after arriving on the island. Some people suddenly disappeared when setting up a base, some records showed signs of strange marine life in the camp, and there were also dreams.
Dreams are the most common. They seem to be the self-talk of ancestors. They are extremely abstract and stream of consciousness. Coupled with the missing pages from time to time in the middle, Li Jiu found it quite painful to read.
If he hadn't known that this diary was produced by the system and was definitely not a fake, Li Jiu would have abandoned the book.
Li Jiu finally saw the last part of his ancestor's diary that was almost indistinguishable from reality and dream.
"...On the tenth day of the cold wave month of the year 1512, the cold wave was fierce. After sealing the cave, the strange things still did not end, and people were still missing. Yesterday, Matt disappeared. I remembered that I was in the secret port
The Fire Wine Tavern recruited him. He was such an energetic young man. I promised to take him sailing to the end of the world, but the result was like this. I was very sad and blamed myself.
I decided to enter the cave to have a look, Affleck and the others did not speak, but they all decided to follow me."
Then there are some torn out pages, and the content jumps directly to entering the cave. There is obvious filth on this page, as well as traces of dried blood:
"...I was separated from Affleck and the others. My oil lamp was almost out of fuel. I also lost the dry food and water on me. I felt dizzy. I had lost too much blood. I might be dying."
Now, this should be the last journey in my life. What a pity. I haven’t left any heirs. Wait, what’s that sound?”
Then there is a blank space, and then there is new content:
"I don't know if I'm still alive now, I don't know if I'm in a dream, or in a state where my soul is about to dissipate, but I still try to record this.
I saw her, yes, she, there is no doubt, that is the existence I saw in my dream, she was as perfect and powerful as in my dream, when I got close to her, I clearly saw her appearance, she
With a body as huge as a giant, and a back like a dragon and a snake, when she stretches her body, covering the sky and the sun, at the same time, it seems that the roar of the entire ocean is hovering in my ears. She is the power of the ocean.
Represents the dragon, the supreme god!
At that moment I lost my mind and just wanted to worship her.
She responded to me graciously and told me that my descendants and I would become her slaves.
At the same time, no one will disappear anymore, because her Juan tribe will also become mine, and they will obey my orders, as long as I read that sentence..."
That sentence, which sentence is it?
Why is there no more?
What a scam?!
System, how can you follow the example of unscrupulous authors and cut off their tails?! I’m going to give you a few bad reviews!
"Master, Master, here we come!" At this moment, Old John's voice suddenly sounded outside, pulling Li Jiu back from his immersive reading.
Is it actually already dawn?
At the same time, he heard shouts, gunshots, and fighting sounds coming from outside, indicating that the battle had begun.
The third-level sea monster is on board.
He immediately took a deep breath, stopped thinking about those words, and completely returned his thoughts to reality.
Then he immediately stood up from his seat, took out his ambition, rushed to the deck, fired into the sky, and roared: "The whole ship is on alert, prepare for battle!"
