Chapter 610: Captain Of The Stone. Celecia.
The good news was that information was available on Celecia, also known as the “Captain of the Stone.”
However, that was a relatively reserved statent.
There was simply too much information exposed about her.
Rather than being a low-key transcender, it was more accurate to say that Celecia was a star or a legendary figure.
Her stories were available in children’s literature.
The most outrageous thing was that the books had been turned into a complete series!
The series was a set of eight fairy tale picture books. The latest book was released last month.
There were also novels centered around her as the main character and a plethora of scripts.
In this pre-Internet age, having this level of popularity was not easy. Even for “the Shield of Unfallen”, his reputation during his lifeti was only among the rich people who “need to hire security”, or the Wise and Digger with a wide range of intelligence sources.
It was usually after the death of a particular hero that writers and poets began to write many novels, plays, and poems for him. This process would take more than a decade. Afterward, establishing this level of popularity would take a considerable period.
With this unusual popularity, Annan wondered if the occurrence was a particular requirent designated by her curse.
“It seems like a lot of information about ‘Captain of the Stone’ cos from a script.”
Annan browsed through the information Nefertari found from the infinite bookshelf and muttered thoughtfully, “Is there any special aning to this?”
“To be precise, most of them are stage plays and musicals. That’s what’s trending among girls these days.”
When Nefertari said this, she coughed lightly and added in a low voice, “I heard it from a friend.”
I understand. I occasionally have such a friend.
The corners of Annan’s mouth rose slightly.
He could empathize with her.
Though calm and knowledgeable, Miss Nefertari was a young lady in her early 20’s.
It was expected for her to retain a youthful heart.
Annan’s reading speed was fast as he went through the information in the books quickly under an hour.
Although there were multiple genres, the main story of “Captain of the Stone” was similar.
It was traced back to the “captain’s origin”. As a noble lady from a foreign country, Celecia fled into the underground world after being hunted down. She acquired a ship through a wonderful adventure.
It was a ghost ship that could carry people freely through rock formations, air, and seawater without destroying anything.
The ship’s na was “Silver”.
In so investigations, the reports pointed out that the ship could be alive. It could be a curse vessel with awareness of danger.
Miss Celecia signed a contract with the ship and beca the captain who would never leave “Silver”. In return, this ship could take her through all obstacles and wherever she wanted.
“Silver” could sail through any terrain as if it was rely a phantom, no matter whether it was rock formations that might collapse at any ti, dangerous veins with tal ore, or lava.
“Silver” did not need Black Fire or Green Fire as a power source, nor would it need to consu the life energy like the legendary ghost ship. Every ti it “stopped”, it would absorb the surrounding substances to repair or replenish the hull.
The excrent and waste on the ship would also be absorbed by “Silver”. Occasionally, after Celecia discovered a magical place, she would create an empty “air bubble” through Silver as a location marker.
Many diggers had dug bubbles. They knew that Celecia had been here and there could be valuables in that place.
Therefore, Celecia was known as “the Digger of Diggers”.
She occasionally strayed into natural mines.
Her adventures encompassed the monsters in the underground, deep layers of lava, isolated villages, murlocs in the deep sea… Except that she didn’t go to the above world, she went everywhere and t various people.
In many cases, these places were not places Celecia wanted to go.
Such a convenient ship attracted many people’s attention, and so people wanted to snatch it. However, Celecia was already a Gold Rank transcender.
She also had so loyal followers.
The followers enjoyed the free and fantasy-like adventures. They were willing to follow Celecia to explore places.
So people wanted to hitch a ride. They usually wanted to go to a particular place or to find soone—for example, the younger brother who had been away from ho for more than ten years because he wanted to beco a Digger, the middle-aged man who disappeared while exploring the gathering place of lions and scorpions, the serial killer who escaped punishnt, etc.
Celecia had a strange rule.
Whoever boarded the ship had to tell a story. The story of why he was seeking this person, this thing, or this place… A brand new journey could begin if the story were “one she hadn’t heard before” and satisfied her.
Otherwise, the person would be kicked off the ship.
Celecia had her poet on board the ship. The poet would record the stories the captain heard and everything during their journey. The stories would be written into long poems, which would be distributed to the cities where they stopped for supplies during the journey.
Celecia would not ask for money in the process.
Instead, many people were not seeking a specific destination but were drawn to Celecia.
Celecia had long pink-purple hair that was rare to co by. She had a doll-like exquisite appearance and a petite figure. She was a powerful Gold Rank transcended, rumored to be pretty young.
So noble offspring were enchanted by her bewitching charm and boarded her ship in the places she passed through. Among them were even wizarding families, transcended families, and a royal offspring from Denizoya… as well as a few young girls who fell in love with her.
This made her legend appear more enchanting while incurring negative rumors about her. As a result, she was also known as the “Enchanting Poppy.”
The Poppy was known to be a plant belonging to the Papaveraceae family, characterized by small flower sizes and delicate petals.
It was hard to tell if the alias was a complint or slander.
Those, who had not boarded the ship, would never know what happened on the ship. The ship would not carry anyone except the crew and “passengers”, making it even more mysterious.
Based on the long poems recited by the poets on board the ship and the scarce information about who boarded and disembarked, the creators unleashed their imagination, giving birth to various musicals, operas, and novels.
Typically, it revolved around a particular expedition as the main storyline, with the emotional conflicts among the well-known individuals on board serving as the primary dramatic tension in the plot.
It was the soap opera of this era.
The plot would continue…
“It sounds like a romantic story.” Annan muttered.
It was expected for Nefertari to indulge in it.
Unexpectedly, the screenwriters of the underground world produced quite so work.
Annan learned sothing from these slightly exaggerated scripts that put him in disbelief.
Although Annan didn’t know the reason, Celecia seed like a catfish.
Her effort seed to be paying off.
In an instant, the young man Annan saw in the Wolf’s Kiss nightmare appeared in his mind.
The one who was devoted and fanatical about Vladmir… An ordinary youth with light brown hair, scary white skin, and freckles on his face.
His cheeks were sunken, his back slightly hunched, and he appeared eccentric. Even in the presence of his colleagues, he would instinctively avoid their gaze. One could tell that he suffered from severe social anxiety without speaking to him.
However, for such a person…
Annan closed the book.
He was silent for a while with so self-doubt.
Are they the sa person?
