Chapter 551 Skull Gate
This ship is not a small object. Especially from its appearance, it is actually a large warship. It is impossible to transport it in through the channel.

Moreover, it could not possibly be a creation of the dwarves. The shape is far from that of the warships used by the demons today. Considering the degree of decay, it is very likely that it was stranded here in the last 100 to 300 years.

Alday's curiosity was immediately piqued.

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

The three of them stuck to the edge of the beach, moving deeper and deeper. Whether it was the dark vision spell or their innate dark vision ability, the limit of their vision was far less than the distance under normal light. In their field of vision, anything more than thirty meters away was completely dark, so they had to be extremely careful not to make any noise when moving.

Just like that, the three of them moved little by little and finally reached the side of the stranded warship.

Orday gently stroked the rotten wooden boards of the warship with her fingers, shook her staff, and sent out a mystical eye that connected to her optic nerve.

The Mystic Eye flew above the warship like an aerial drone, taking in the entire ship clearly.

The stern of the ship seemed to have been smashed by something, possibly a monster in the sea. Very obvious tearing marks could be seen, which were definitely not caused by decay. Perhaps this was the reason why it ran aground here.

Except for the tail, all parts were well preserved. Oldie could vaguely make out the words "Skull Gate" written in paint under the moss on the other side of the ship.

Wait, Skull Gate?
Oldie knew this place. She controlled the Mystic Eye to fly towards the mast, and finally saw some rotten black cloth at the top of the mast.

That's the Jolly Roger.

Zora looked at the darkness around him warily, leaned close to Aldea and whispered:
"Miss Olday, did you find anything?"

"It's a pretty big discovery. Unfortunately, this place can't be made public, otherwise it will definitely drive scholars in the entire academic city crazy."

Oldie covered one eye. Although her voice was also low, it could not conceal 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 an egg cut in half with a knife. The larger piece is divided up among the seven Demon Kingdoms, while the smaller piece is isolated overseas.

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

Compared to 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 produced there, which have attracted 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. While trying to make a living in a coastal city, he was forcibly conscripted by the Navy of the Demon Kingdom of Tandron to become a sailor.

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

It is unclear what exactly happened to him during his time as a pirate, but what is certain is that it took him ten years to transform from a sailor on a pirate ship to a pirate leader.

It's like the cleaner in the company becomes the chairman.

This man was ruthless and cunning. Not only did he make the navy that came to encircle and suppress him run around in circles, he also gradually annexed several pirate groups, forming a huge force that even the official forces were wary of.

Later, in order to facilitate supplies and also because he felt that being a pirate for a lifetime had no future, he used the looted treasures to build a city called Skull Harbor, and transformed himself from a pirate leader to the legal lord of the city.

When Cyrcles was sixty years old, he probably felt that he still belonged to the sea, so he suddenly gave up his position as city lord to his son and led his flagship away from the Port of Skull. No one knew where he went. Some said he was assassinated shortly after setting sail, while others said he found a staggeringly huge treasure and eventually died in it with his crew. In short, there were all kinds of rumors.

This happened about one hundred and fifty years ago, which is about right considering the level of corruption on the ship.

Why would a pirate ship belonging to a legendary pirate, which was clearly sailing on the sea, end up in underground ruins?

This is no longer a place that can be reached simply by sailing. This relic is in a demiplane!

And what was it that made this legendary pirate leave the place where he had run his business for half his life and go looking for only his flagship ship?
Oldie, it's on fire again!
"Come with me, let's go up and see if there are any other logbooks or anything like that."

Any secret is worth unlocking, the difference lies in the value. Oldie can't wait to see what the legendary pirate will be like in the end.

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

The noise sounded like something coming out of the water.

Orday immediately released the hand that was covering her eyes, and quickly made two casting gestures, casting the invisibility ball again, putting the three people under invisible protection.

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

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

It took her no effort at all to find the source of the sound.

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

Hags are fey creatures, but there are many subspecies.

The most common one is actually the green witch, who looks like a typical old witch with a big, long nose covered with blisters. Her seemingly skinny body is actually very tall, and her physical strength is enough to tear tigers and leopards apart with her bare hands.

The sea hag is a relatively rare type. As the name suggests, this monster mainly lives on the coast or near water sources.

Unlike other hags, sea hags have bluish-white skin, like someone who has been drowned and soaked in water for a long time, and their hair is like a combination of water plants and kelp. When they are diving underwater, it is difficult to tell from the surface of the sea whether it is a ball of seaweed or a sea hag.

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

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

——It feels like déjà vu.

But then again, hags are tough opponents for most ordinary people, but don't compare them to Olde. There is no comparison, not to mention that sea hags are the weakest among the hags.

It looked like there were four or five sea hags crawling out from the water, which was almost the exact number of a hag gathering. Even with these few hags, it was amazing that they could hold out for two rounds under the firepower output of the high-level wizard.

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