Chapter 154: A journey without retreat
The eternally forward-flowing ocean current connects all the seas and rushes all the way towards the boundless ocean.
And the channel connecting this ocean current is their target.
If you want to communicate with other seas, or even go to the Infinite Ocean, you must pass through this current.
As the northernmost sea, their home sea is also the most solid, coupled with the Virgin Mary's governance philosophy.
Therefore, the strength of this sea area is limited, and the strength will not exceed too much, making the entire sea area much safer than other places.
And they deliberately ignored information from the outside world, but they just didn't publicize it, not completely concealed it.
If someone knows the information of the outside world and wants to leave, no one will stop him but will provide more information and help.
After all, the structure of this world always makes people curious about what is outside. It is not difficult to find out as long as you want to.
The situation in other sea areas is unclear, but through Lucilia and the others, we can learn that the strength of other sea areas is not suppressed or restricted by other gods.
At least that's the case in the Sea of All Living Beings.
Relatively speaking, it is not as safe and stable.
Lucelia belonged to a large family and had never left the family territory.
But Julia has been active in the outside world, and through his introduction, everyone knows the dangers of the sea of living beings.
There are pros and cons to this.
But what we can see from the information is that once you go to the Boundless Ocean, all restrictions will be gone, and power can be exerted more unscrupulously.
Even some treasures will be strengthened to a certain extent.
Because there is disorder, no restraints, and no restrictions.
However, as Alka continued to look down at the data, his expression became serious, because the speed of this current was extremely fast and it could not be stopped at all.
Moreover, the channel connecting each sea area and this ocean current is not open at any time, but requires a time and the moment when the storm of the world rift is the calmest.
In other words, once you pass through the world rift at the right time and arrive at that ocean current, you can only go all the way to the boundless ocean and never come back.
There was no possibility of going to the Sea of All Living Things, and sending Julia and Lucelia home was absurd.
The structure of the world has already cut off this possibility.
As the information was exchanged, everyone saw the information here.
The reason why Lucelia and Julia were able to come to their sea area was because the Home Sea and the Sea of All Living Beings were connected.
Although there is a world rift between the two seas, this rift will be smoothed out when the time comes.
When it subsides, the storm will also stop, although it will still be a pipe dream for normal ships to pass.
But their conditions were not normal at the time, so there was no problem if they wanted to pass.
One was already dead, and his soul entered a solid magic mirror . The other was a solid crystal, and as long as it didn't collide with some reefs, it could naturally pass through the world rift and come to this sea area.
But such a situation cannot be replicated, and their situation is even lucky.
Lucelia, who had turned into a doll and was looking at the information, and Julia, who was also checking, were both watching quietly.
"Will I never be able to come back once I leave here..." Xia Daiti muttered to himself as he looked at the information.
Not only her, but even Jason looked very silent.
The two people who acted indifferent were Alka and Pororo. Alka could be said to be free from any worries here.
Of course I would be willing to go to the boundless ocean, gain greater strength, and see more magnificent scenery.
For Porro, he is also willing to go to the sea area closer to the sea god.
Not to mention that this will allow you to receive more training.
This is the same doctrine he believes in.
Julia's expression was a little strange, a little regretful, a little sad, but there was also a hint of relief.
It didn't seem as unacceptable as Alka had imagined.
Thinking of this, Alka looked at the doll next to him.
The doll Lucilia was sitting on the information paper, looking at the information below with her head lowered, not knowing what she was thinking.
Alka reached out and tapped her head, shaking it from side to side.
Lucilia raised her head, her emerald eyes were crystal clear, reflecting bright light.
She looked at Alka and asked in a baby voice, "Alka... can't I go back?"
Seeing Lucilia looking so sad, as if she was about to cry, Alka smiled and continued to shake her head.
"You obviously have a lot of knowledge, but you always can't remember it at the critical moment."
"What do you mean?"
Listening to Lucilia's doubtful words, Alka shook his head helplessly, opened his palm, and a book appeared in his palm.
It was exactly what young Thad had buried on the Isle of Saint Armor a year ago.
"Dreamland"
"Did you finish reading this book?"
Hearing Alka's words, Lucelia shook her head.
In her previous soul state, she did not have the time or the ability to read books on her own.
Later, after I turned into a doll, I had the time and ability to see it, but I was already in the dark realm.
At that time, she was being hunted all the time, and all she cared about was the treasure hunt, and she also enjoyed it.
As for when not to read books?
I have watched it all my life, so can’t I do something else after I die?
"I have finished reading it. It is a travelogue of the endless sea. If it cannot be returned, how did this travelogue get written and published? And how did it fall into our hands?"
Of course, this statement is not true. If you want to publish this book, there are too many ways to pass it on.
For example, when you are strong enough , you can ask God for help.
The data has clearly shown that the Four Gods' teachings have already spread across the vast ocean.
This is not something unusual.
This book has not been finished yet. It is very likely that the author is still alive and sailing on the vast ocean.
Of course, it is also possible that Alka and the others only got one of the copies.
But Alka, who has read the entire book, has more solid evidence.
In front of everyone, Alka flipped through the book until he reached page 136.
"Look here."
In addition to Pororo and Julia, Xiadaiti and Jason have also read this book because Lucelia sometimes uses it as a teaching material.
Used to learn other languages, this is written in the language of White Crocodile.
This is what was written on the page that Alka pointed to.
"In Solacrone's tavern, I heard the exploration team next to us talking about this. They said there is an undercurrent in the sea that flows in the opposite direction. If we pass through this undercurrent, we can return to other seas.
This undercurrent is no secret in the eyes of many strong people. It is the last resort for the weak who have no will to make progress.
They seem to want to use this ocean current to make money. Oh my god, are they stupid? That is the private land of the Four Gods. How can they let them come and go as they please? "
"They still think they are the only smart people in the world? It turns out that no matter where you are, no matter how strong or weak you are, there are enough idiots to highlight my wisdom."
Several people saw the words written in the book.
Alka nodded Lucilia's head and said, "See? It's not as bad as you think. We can go to the Infinite Ocean, and when we don't want to continue sailing, we can come back through this undercurrent."
Moreover, Alka knew that in the Dark Realm, the blood-red evil spirit was a cultist from the Ocean of Delusion.
Maybe there are other ways, but they just don't know about them yet.
Although this is what is said, everyone can see from the text that this undercurrent is not that easy to use.
The strong ones all know it, but few use it.
This is a kind of tacit existence, but looking at this sea of home, you can know that only a very small number of people come back.
But this is at least a way forward, and it will not be blocked off. This is the case for Lucillia who wants to return to the Sea of All Living Beings to take a look.
Everyone has finished reading the information.
Alka stares at them.
The voice was slightly serious and asked: "Have you thought about it? Do you want to go to the Infinite Ocean with me? This is a road of no return."
"I believe you have also seen that even though there is an undercurrent as a last resort, it is obviously not something that everyone can use."
“More likely, they will never come back.”
"But you don't have to answer me now. Let's go and complete the task assigned to us by the church first, and then we can make a formal decision. How about that?"
This matter cannot be decided immediately, Alka will give them enough time.
Hearing Alka's words, everyone nodded, indicating that they had no objection.
Shown in the data.
The next time the world rift subsides will be exactly one year later, and that period of time is called the time of intersection.
The time of intersection comes randomly and without warning.
However, it takes at least 10 years to open, and the longest time is even more than 30 years.
So such a good opportunity cannot be missed.
This one year should be enough for them to complete their mission and for everyone to figure out whether they are willing to go.
However, the only ones who are still struggling are Xia Daiti and Jason.
Others almost don't care, and some are even eager to do so.
Alka patted the coffee table and asked, "Is there anyone willing to go with me to the church's shipyard? I want to ask them to repair the music ship."
Xia Daiti, who was thinking, raised his head and said, "I'm familiar with that place. I'll go with you."
As she spoke she stretched out her arm, and Lucilia followed her hand and with a few jumps stood on her shoulder.
The three of them left the villa and walked along the path to where they docked their boat.
The huge but tattered music ship, which looks like an abandoned ship, is docked at a huge berth.
Due to its unique appearance, it always attracts others to stop and watch.
Fortunately, Alka had given special instructions.
So the Music Ship did not show anything strange, and the church guards at the port also kept an eye on the ship to prevent some unreasonable people from disturbing it.
Taking advantage of dusk, the three boarded the boat.
The Music Ship automatically left its berth and circled the island to a gap at the rear.
It was as if a hole had been dug in the entire island; this was the church's shipyard.
Alka looked at the building in front of him, which covered an extremely exaggerated area.
There are almost no people living around the building, and the area is entirely used to store various materials.
A huge arched building covered the entire gap, and several ships could be seen inside.
Some boats can be seen being painted around.
Even at dusk, you can see many workers still working.
“The Stoneheart Shipyard, the largest shipyard under the Holy Mother Church, is capable of producing top-grade spell ships. It has the top team of craftsmen in this sea area, as well as the best engravers and ship foundries.
Six century-old shipbuilding families are involved in this project, with the blessing given by the Virgin Mary herself.
The flagship of the Church, the Mother of the Sacred Heart, was built in this shipyard.”
The so-called Mother of the Sacred Heart, whose appearance Alka had seen from afar.
I have to say, it is indeed a huge monster that can make people scared just by looking at it.
It was a huge ship that would have been impossible in the age of sail.
Alka saw the length of the ship from afar. It was at least 130 meters long and about 40 meters wide.
From a distance, it looks like a fortress on the sea, with four gun decks on it that are like mobile turrets.
The densely packed gun muzzles extending from both sides are the best deterrent to the enemy.
I heard that this popular caliber is the largest and latest generation of the church's self-developed stone-shaking cannon that is not open to the outside world.
The top war weapon of the Home Sea.
The main problem is that this is a ship with wood as its main structure.
Apparently a large number of spells were used to reinforce and strengthen the entire ship itself, and it also has countless special abilities.
From Alka's perspective now, that ship was definitely a ghost ship.
It certainly wasn't an ordinary spell ship.
Even just watching from a distance gave Alka a great shock, not to mention that when the ship was sailing, it was surrounded by holy light.
Passing by him was like being baptized, with a huge halo around him.
A mobile holy light spreading machine.
It is said that this is not a ship forged with the most advanced techniques, but here, such ships are enough.
It doesn't make sense at a large scale.
If that ship was built here, then the music ship under your feet would be easy to repair or customize.
Thinking of this, Alka couldn't help but feel more relieved.
When Alka's ship stopped at the door of the shipyard, a young man in a priest's robe rowed down in a small boat.
"Excuse me, is there anything you need? This is the church's shipyard, and we won't build ships for outsiders without permission."
Alka took out the parchment document he had obtained from the briefcase earlier and showed it to the young priest below.
"This is a document written by the Archbishop."
Looking at the emblem above, the priest blinked and nodded.
"Then please wait for a moment. I have to go in and notify them to clear enough space before you can go in."
Alka nodded, indicating that it was no problem.
After a while, a passage was seen cleared inside the shipyard.
A craftsman standing on the top floor waved the flag in his hand as a signal.
"Good girl, come in quickly," said Alka, patting the mainmast.
The music ship slowly sailed towards the shipyard.
This shabby ship, which could almost be treated as scrap, sailed into the shipyard and attracted the attention of all the craftsmen in the shipyard.
"What's the point of this ship coming in? Are we going to take it down?"
"Who knows? I heard that this is a document written by the Archbishop himself. Maybe he wants to repair it."
"Is this ship still being repaired? The materials and funds for repairing the ship are enough to build a better one."
The craftsmen chatted with each other.
At this time, an old man took a wooden stick and knocked on the heads of these craftsmen.
"You ignorant idiots are really embarrassing me."
Looking at the old man, the chatting craftsmen immediately nodded and stood behind him.
"Teacher, why are you here?"
"That's right, it's so late, you should get some rest."
The old man glanced at the craftsmen and snorted with a sour look on his face: "If I don't come, will you guys come if I don't come? This ship is a project that the archbishop wants me to personally preside over."
"You came in person? Whose ship is this? You have such great authority."
Hearing what the craftsman said, the old man picked up his walking stick and hit him directly on the head.
"Oh my! Teacher, you're too harsh."
Hearing his cry of pain, the old man picked up his crutch and hit him with disgust.
"It's really shameful. Open your eyes and take a good look at this ship. This is a ship that is about to become a ghost ship."
"Ghost Ship!"
Several skilled craftsmen immediately covered their mouths and stood quietly behind the teacher, not daring to speak again.
This was clearly beyond their capabilities.
"Humph! Follow me and learn well. This is a rare opportunity."
As he spoke, the old man brought several craftsmen behind him to the bottom of the ship.
Looking at Alka and Xiadaiti beside the boat.
"Xia Daiti? You're back safely!"
The old man walked over happily, and a smile appeared on his face when he saw Xia Daiti was safe and sound.
Hearing someone calling him, Xia Daiti turned around and saw the old man walking towards him, his eyes lit up.
"Grandpa Haibo? Why are you here?"
So this is Hai Bo blogger, Alka thought as he looked at the old man in front of him.
This is an old man wearing a brown robe and holding a cane in his hand. From the wrinkles on his face and his pale hair and beard, it can be seen that he is very old.
But look at the eyes of the people around him, and the few craftsmen following behind him, who were dressed in extraordinary clothes.
This old man has a lot of say here and is also very respected.
A shipbuilding family that was building ships 400 years ago?
Descendant of the Ratmagan family.
Their own Feiyan is the work of their ancestors.
