Chapter 286 Goodbye Edward! The Obsession of the Diamond Star

"What's that sound?"

"It seems like something exploded again?"

Many people present heard the roar from deep inside the cabin.

Unlike the fog that permeated around the ship, this suspected man-made movement attracted the attention of many people.

Just as Luther said--

[Diamond Star] is the best!

This ship, which condenses the crystallization of wisdom of this era, is like a huge fortress moving on the sea, powerful and solid.

Ordinary maritime disasters can't even scratch it.

But the strongest fortress is often breached from the inside!

Feeling the faint vibration deep in the cabin, Luther's expression was a little ugly, and he cursed in a low voice: "It must be that the little bastards of the low class are causing trouble again!"

"Your Highness Shane, I'll teach them a lesson now!"

"Please continue to enjoy breakfast. I promise that this kind of thing will not happen again."

After that, Luther took the crew around him and hurried to the depths of the cabin.

"... Low class?"

Shayne keenly noticed this title from Luther's words.

He realized that his previous judgment might be wrong.

Although on the surface, the passengers of the Diamond Star were all nobles and businessmen from the upper class.

However, this did not mean that there were no civilians in the lower cabins.

For example, the waiters and sailors were obviously of relatively humble origins.

However, Luther's assurance to Shane did not reassure him, but made his ominous premonition even stronger.

The sudden fog;

The vibration deep in the cabin;

and the fleeting glimpses seen before...

All seemed to indicate that some extremely dangerous disaster was about to befall this Diamond Star.

To be honest.

Under this strong ominous warning, Shane's first thought was to run!

He was not in the state of a Projected Body now, and he could die at will.

More importantly, he was accompanied by Joey!

In the face of such an unknown disaster, Shane did not dare to guarantee that he could protect Joey.

However, the sea around is a fake, and who knows what is hidden in the fog.

This [Diamond Star] is like an isolated island in the sea, completely isolated from the world, and there is nowhere to escape.

Since there is no escape, we can only find a way to deal with it.

"This [Diamond Star] seems to be stronger than my one."

Having been a captain for so long, Shane has a unique vision, and can see that the big ship under his feet is impeccable from all angles.

Even some of the hull designs have surpassed the level of this era.

He touched his chin and thought to himself: "Even if there are any monsters in the fog, it is difficult to cause real damage to this ship."

"It seems that the real danger may be the explosion in the cabin before?"

Thinking of this, Shane was ready to take a look at the depths of the cabin of this [Diamond Star].

But at this moment, a gentle and handsome young nobleman came to the door of the restaurant.

Around him, there were several young men and women with gorgeous appearances. Such a scene of being surrounded by stars could only mean that the identity of this young man was not simple.

Seeing this young man, Shane was stunned.

Because... he actually recognized him!

Even though the young man's face had matured a lot and his height had increased, Shane could still recognize him——

This person was Edward Phoenix, who had met him once in [Giant Wood City]!

That is, the fifth prince of the Kingdom of Turin!

However, Edward's appearance did not change much after he became an adult, but his temperament was completely different.

Now he has lost his former immaturity and innocence, his demeanor is as gentle as jade, and his face and eyes are always smiling, which makes people feel like spring breeze when they see him.

But under this smile, there is a kind of compelling nobility, which is very different from before.

The guests around were whispering about this fifth prince who rose like a comet.

Originally, among the princes and princesses of the Kingdom of Turin, Edward was the kind who had little presence.

Moreover, because of his illegitimate status, he has been ridiculed and mocked.

However, after a trip to the [Giant Wood City], Edward unexpectedly got in touch with the powerful elves.

His status in the Kingdom of Turin rose all the way, and with the support of the king, he gradually became a strong contender for the throne.

Some people say that it was Edward's luck that made him turn things around.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that ordinary people may not be able to seize such an opportunity.

Whether it is establishing trade with the elves or sparing no effort to promote steam and magic pattern technology in the country, it can be seen that the courage and vision of this prince can be seen.

His performance in the kingdom over the years has also been praised by many people and nobles.

On the contrary, his brothers and sisters have made frequent mistakes and have not been highly regarded both inside and outside the kingdom.

So gradually, there are fewer and fewer voices of opposition in the Kingdom of Turin.

On the other hand, the strength of the Kingdom of Turin is also constantly expanding, becoming a powerful country ranked among the top on the continent.

This is why there is a scene of many stars supporting the moon.

When Edward walked into the restaurant, people nearby immediately surrounded him and greeted him.

Especially some businessmen who were doing cross-border business, their eyes lit up.

They spent so much effort and money to come to the Diamond Star, wasn't it just to meet real princes and nobles and facilitate business?

As for the so-called "prophecy of doomsday?"

The merchants just regarded it as the crazy talk of a madman.

In fact, there are not a few people who hold this idea on the Diamond Star.

For thousands of years, there have always been prophets and religions advocating "the end of the world" and "the great disaster of doomsday".

But no disaster has finally come true.

Otherwise, the passengers would not look at the voyage of the Diamond Star with this kind of travel attitude.

Facing the pursuit of the crowd, Edward answered while walking, concisely and politely, leaving no one empty.

But if you observe carefully, you will find that there is a subtle difference in closeness.

The children of nobles are obviously more valued than merchants. Those with noble status and close relations with the Kingdom of Turin will get more time and more attention.

These details are the most demanding of a noble child's social skills.

Edward's performance can only be described as "excellent".

But inexplicably, Shane felt a little disappointed.

The simple and kind Edward had grown up and became a stranger to him.

Edward saw Shane from a distance and walked up with a smile.

"His Highness Shane, long time no see."

Shane was stunned for a moment before realizing that Edward was greeting the person he was playing, not recognizing himself.

He sighed in his heart and said, "His Highness Edward, hello."

"Huh?"

At this time, Edward's eyes fell on Joey's face, his smile froze, and he couldn't help but let out a light "huh".

The more he looked, the weirder his expression became, and he couldn't help but frowning, as if he was thinking about something.

And Joey felt that the strange man's eyes were so strange, and couldn't help hiding behind Shane.

"Ahem."

Shane coughed twice, his expression was a little cold.

After all, Joey is now playing the role of his wife. Isn't it a bit rude for Edward to stare at her intently?

Edward also realized that his behavior was inappropriate and apologized quickly.

"Sorry, I just think this little girl is so familiar, as if I have seen her somewhere."

Hearing this, Shane was a little strange.

Others often call Joey "Madam", but why did Edward call her "little girl?"

Moreover, in his impression, Edward didn't seem to be a lustful person. Staring at Joey so rudely was originally a strange thing.

However, before Shane could figure out the reason for this abnormal situation.

There was a cry of surprise outside the restaurant.

"Monster! There is a monster!"

"Help!!!"

Shane's face changed slightly, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the cry.

Suddenly, a strange existence with a white body appeared in the corridor.

This is a monster made of mist, barely maintaining the human form, and constantly making sticky and disgusting creeping sounds.

Hoarse roars and whispers like murmurs came from the depths of the fog.

The moment the "fog monster" appeared, it immediately attacked the nearest passengers.

In the blink of an eye, several passengers were pulled into the fog by the fog monster.

Then, a creepy chewing sound came from the depths of the fog.

However, the nobles all brought their own guards.

These powerful secret pathers are not vegetarians. They all used various means to deal with this unknown fog monster.

However, the body of the fog monster is made of fog. After ordinary means of destruction, it can be reassembled in a blink of an eye.

As a result, the guards can only block the attacks of the fog monsters, but cannot really kill them.

The current situation is not yet when Shane needs to take action.

The guards on the [Diamond Star] alone are enough to resist the monsters that appear in the fog.

But seeing that the situation has just stabilized...

Boom————

A dull and extremely loud noise suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

Shane's pupils shrank slightly, and he judged from his rich experience that this was the sound of the Diamond Star hitting something.

Without thinking, he took Joey's hand and ran out of the restaurant.

This strange behavior earned the puzzled eyes of many nobles behind him.

"His Highness Shane!?"

After leaving the restaurant, Shane blasted away the fog monsters around him while looking into the fog.

Soon, he saw that in front of the Diamond Star, the outline of a huge iceberg emerged.

The ice loomed in the surging fog, showing solid and cold edges.

At the same time, the iceberg was still approaching.

A collision at sea is often not an instantaneous thing, but a relatively long process.

This is especially true for the behemoth Diamond Star.

Shane felt that the deck under his feet began to tilt, which meant that the hull gradually lost balance.

And with the backflow of seawater, the entire ship will inevitably sink.

Huge waves were surging on the sea.

In the cabin and the restaurant, people shouted in panic, and some stood on the edge of the deck, staring blankly at the scene in front of them.

But suddenly, a surging white light lit up from the field of vision, engulfing the bodies of Shane and the other person...

...

……

When he opened his eyes again.

What appeared in front of Shane was a familiar yet strange cabin.

"…Where is this?"

Shae looked around and quickly determined that this was the bedroom where he woke up before.

The furnishings in the room, including the cabinet in front of him, the stockings on the floor, the soft big bed... were all the same as before.

"What's going on?"

Shae was confused: "Didn't the Diamond Star sink because it hit an iceberg?"

"Why am I back here again?"

"Captain!"

At this time, Joey's little head also came out from under the quilt, and she was also shocked when she looked at the surroundings.

"What happened?"

Joey opened his eyes wide and murmured: "Everything we experienced before was a dream?"

Shayen thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, it's not a dream."

"I think the reason why we are here is because... this [Diamond Star] has been reset."

Joey was a little confused: "Reset?"

Shayen explained: "You can understand it as the time of this space going back to when we just woke up."

"What we experienced before may happen again."

As if to prove Shane's guess.

Dongdong!

Two polite knocks came from outside the door.

"Mr. Shane, breakfast is ready."

The waiter's respectful voice sounded: "Should it be brought in for you, or do you go to the restaurant to enjoy it yourself?"

"We can go to the restaurant ourselves."

After Shane replied casually, his thoughts were ups and downs.

At this moment, after this "reset" and "backtracking", he finally vaguely guessed the truth of this strange space.

This space is probably formed by the obsession of [Diamond Star]!

It was unwilling to be destroyed in a fog, and the people on the ship were unwilling to die in such an unclear way.

Coupled with some special factors, such a strange space was formed.

Obviously, the only way to leave this space is to stop the sinking of the Diamond Star and break this cycle.

Only when the obsession of the Diamond Star is eliminated, this space will really disappear.

And now it seems that the reason why the Diamond Star in the Misty Sea has become a ghost ship like a lonely ghost is precisely because of this unwilling obsession.

At this time, Xia En suddenly remembered the rumors about the Diamond Star on the sea.

Most of the people who boarded the ghost ship would disappear silently and never appear again.

Only one person returned by chance after boarding the ship, but he also became a complete lunatic.

Could it be that they also accidentally broke into this space at that time?
