Chapter 160 Snow Island
Julia stood on the deck, holding a translucent ice blade in her hand.
Alka did not know the ability of this sharp blade. Although he had held this sword before, even holding it in his hand, he found it unbearable because of the coldness it contained.
Naturally, there is no need to infuse magic power into it and use its effects.
"Julia, try it and see if this sword is powerful."
Xia Daiti couldn't help but say beside him.
After all, the appearance is here.
Julia nodded.
Holding the blade tightly in his hand, the magic power in his body began to flow along his arm into the translucent ice blade.
As magic power was infused, a blue flash could be clearly seen in the center of the translucent ice blade.
Then, the light condensed into a thread-like line in the translucent center of the sword.
Holding the sharp blade in his hand, he thought for a moment, then faced the sea and slashed it with the sword.
With just such a light swing, the magic power in the blade dissipated, forming a long white breath like ice chips in the air.
Like a chill.
An extremely icy road quickly appeared on the sea, extending forward along the cold, clearly visible.
The freezing of the sea water is still spreading around.
The frozen ice path did not slow down until it reached a width of more than half a meter, extending for more than 10 meters.
This is probably the farthest distance from the cold.
Looking at the effect of the sword, Alka thought it would be a flying ice blade similar to magic.
Unexpectedly, what was swung out was cold air, which could instantly freeze the sea surface into ice.
But it felt like it was too far from what he imagined, and it would be cooler to have a flying ice blade.
Julia raised the blade and examined it carefully in the sunlight. She could see the shiny threads moving inside.
It seemed that Julia was controlling her own magic power and feeling the general ability of the blade.
Several people were watching from behind and didn't disturb them.
Julia raised the sword again, swung it lightly, and another long streak of cold air shot out.
But this time the effect was different. The ice on the sea surface was no longer like a flat road, but kept stabbing upwards, forming one ice cone after another protruding upwards.
It extends all the way out, but the distance is only about seven or eight meters.
The distance of the attack is shorter than the previous one, but looking at the effect you can tell that the damage caused is much greater.
Each ice cone is at least half a meter long and extremely sharp.
As if she finally understood how to use this weapon, Julia raised her free left hand.
Magic power also surged out from her left hand, emitting a faint light, an unknown spell effect flashed, and water flowed in her palm.
Then the water suddenly spurted out, forming a column of water.
The sword in his right hand swung immediately, and a chill visible to the naked eye spread out.
The cold air passed through the water column and froze it. One after another, ice blades shot out in the air and smashed towards the sea in the distance.
The moment these ice blades hit the sea surface, they would freeze a large area of the surrounding sea surface into ice. Then they would become a piece of floating ice, floating on the ice surface.
However, the size of these ice blades is equal to the width of the water flow through which the coldness passes.
The water flow in Julia's left hand changed. She gently moved it forward, and a barrier made of water appeared in front of her.
The sword blade kept swinging at the water barrier, and ice blades kept flying out. These ice blades were more than two meters long, and it could be seen that the thickness of these ice blades was very thin, but extremely tough.
It hit the newly condensed ice, cutting it very smoothly, and then froze the sea water below again.
After simply testing the weapon in her hand, Julia nodded with satisfaction.
Alka and others behind were stunned. The effect just shown should be the advanced gameplay of the sword.
But maybe because of her rich experience, Julia easily discovered how to use the ice sword to achieve maximum lethality.
And I discovered its various strange effects, and the operation just now required very precise precision to achieve.
Otherwise, the cold will freeze the water flow directly instead of shooting out and forming sharp ice blades.
Alka thought that he would not be able to do it in such a short time if he were allowed to take the sword to attack and test it.
He would have to play for a day or half a day to achieve the same effect as Julia.
As expected, it was once the Six Spirals, but its strength was suppressed in the sea area of the Holy Mother.
The experience and ability are still there.
Just as Alka was thinking this, he suddenly felt some kind of vibration coming?
One could clearly feel a wave emanating from Julia's body.
A small magical vacuum appeared around Julia, but it came so suddenly that everyone felt it.
After noticing the fluctuations emanating from Julia.
"Have you recovered your strength to triple helix?"
Alka asked, looking at Julia.
Julia was also a little surprised. The recovery was a little too sudden, but she nodded.
"Yes, I don't know why it recovered all of a sudden. I thought I would have to wait at least another week or two."
But this was not too surprising to her.
After saying this, he looked at the blade in his hand and said, "But this sword is really good."
The appearance was very much to her liking, and the effect was interesting, and she felt that she was quite good at the delicate control of this kind of coldness.
I already have in my mind many possible effects that can be achieved by using this sword.
"Okay, as long as you like it. I'm just worried that no one will use such a weapon. That would be a shame."
Alka said, nodding.
After all, the power of this weapon can be felt just by looking at its appearance. If the people on the ship cannot use it and cannot consume it internally, it can only be sold externally, which would be a pity.
Such good things should of course be used by our own people.
Then he waved his hand, and the sound of iron chains turning was heard, controlling the anchor to rise.
The sails dropped.
He came to the helm and said to them, “I looked around the island, and there is no treasure as the church said, nor does such a thing exist.
Next we will head to Xueyi Island, which is the largest island in this sea area. Let’s go there first to take a look.”
Hearing Alka's words, everyone nodded without objection.
As the captain, he decides the next route.
…
At night, the sky is filled with nebulae.
The snowstorm has weakened a lot tonight, with only a few white dots falling from the black sky from time to time.
The cold wind was unusually weaker, and there was even a sign of breath-holding.
Alka was sitting in his room, meditating, with sweat dripping from his forehead.
The magical power around him was gathering into his body.
“Huh~”
Alka slowly exhaled, opened his eyes, picked up the towel that had been prepared nearby, and wiped the sweat off his face.
Then he couldn't help but sigh and said, "What's going on? It feels like my magic power is blocked and can't grow anymore."
When I started meditating in the past few days, the growth of magic power encountered an obvious bottleneck. Not only did the absorption speed slow down, but even the efficiency of forming new circuits during meditation became lower.
The obstacles that have been built up have become increasingly powerful.
If we continue in this way, I don’t know how long it will take to break through the triple helix and reach the second stage.
From the knowledge taught by Lucilia, it can be known that although the upgrade from the first stage to the second stage is a small bottleneck.
But this shouldn't exist for Alka, or not just for him, but for anyone with a little bit of talent, it shouldn't be considered a bottleneck.
Considering Alka's soul strength and physical talent, there shouldn't be such a bottleneck. He can reach it smoothly by just meditating step by step.
Instead of feeling the obvious blockage of magic power like now, the growth rate has slowed down.
As meditation becomes stronger, the speed of increasing magic power will only get faster and faster because the total amount required is increasing.
The physical strength is being consumed and the magic circuits are increasing. Naturally, with stable runes, one can absorb the surrounding magic power more exaggeratedly.
The speed at which magic power increases should not be decreasing.
In response to Alka's complaints, Lucilia's soul came out and sat in mid-air looking at him.
"Could it be because this is the Virgin Mary's sea area? Didn't the information given by the archbishop before say that strength will be suppressed in the Virgin Mary's sea area?"
"Maybe this is why it's so hard for you to ascend. After all, the only one who knows about the Quadruple Helix is the Archbishop."
Alka nodded after hearing Lucelia's words.
It is correct to think this way. After all, if there is no meditation method, the average time for people living in the Virgin Sea to become touchers and reach the second spiral is more than 10 years.
There is no concept of average time to reach the triple helix. Some people may never reach it in their entire lifetime, and even if they do, it will probably take another 10 years or more.
In total, it takes about 25 years from becoming a Toucher to reaching the triple helix.
And because of the meditation method, Alka improved very quickly, and because he mastered the treasure, he was quickly raised to the triple helix.
In just one year, I have gone through more than 20 years of life for others.
Even without meditation, it would be impossible for an ordinary person to spend so much time to reach the triple helix.
It is even more impossible to say that there are so few beings above the triple helix.
"Does it mean that if we want to break through to the triple helix, we can only wait until we leave the Virgin Mary Sea?"
Lucilia nodded: "It is very likely. After all, this is the rule set by the Virgin Mary in this sea area. I don't think we are capable of violating it yet."
Hearing this, Alka couldn't help but think.
Then I thought about Julia’s experience when she came to the Home Sea.
Think about it this way, if in the Boundless Sea, the strength is improved to a more exaggerated level, such as the 3rd and 4th stages. There are dozens or hundreds of spirals in the body.
After experiencing such powerful strength, how could he still think of returning to his home sea?
Go back to the time when I only had a few spirals, and feel how weak I am.
Perhaps this is because our home sea rarely knows anything about the outside world.
Because the number of people returning is very small.
This will give people a feeling of no return, making people more concerned when going.
Alka couldn't help but think from another perspective: if it were him, would he be willing to come back?
Obviously impossible.
In other words, this departure may very well be a farewell forever.
Fortunately, he doesn't have too many concerns about this place.
Thinking of this, Alka closed his eyes and lay down on the bed to rest.
Listening to the cold wind outside the window, I fell into a deep sleep.
…
After a long voyage, they were about to reach their destination, Snow Island. Alka steered the rudder and looked at the island in the distance.
He stretched out his hand and waved, and the bronze bell on the main mast swayed left and right, making a crisp sound.
A crisp sound was heard.
Everyone in the captain's room came out one after another.
"Are we almost there? Oh, this island is quite big."
Jason stood on the deck, took out a telescope, looked at the island in the distance, and couldn't help but speak.
Lucilia jumped a few times and climbed up Alka's trouser leg and onto his shoulders.
A bit like a little monkey.
Of course I can't say it out loud, otherwise Lucelia will be angry.
"This island is the largest island in the Arctic Triangle, and it is also home to the largest tribe here. According to the last statistics, there may be five or six hundred people."
Xia Daiti spoke as he recalled the information in his mind.
As they communicated, the ship soon approached the waters surrounding the island, and saw a very simple port, which was casually built with sticks and planks, and the joints were made of some kind of vines.
There are two or three ships of different sizes in the port, but they are all relatively simple.
These should be boats used by the tribal residents on this island. Several small wooden houses can be seen in the harbor. Several tribal residents wearing thick furs are coming out and looking at them warily.
Because the port used by these islanders was too small, they had to go around in a circle before they found a suitable place to dock the ship.
But it is still some distance away from the island.
Untie the Feiyan and let it fall onto the sea.
Alka turned around and looked at everyone.
"Xia Daiti must go with us this time. We need to map the topography of the island to facilitate its map making."
Hearing this, Jason looked at Pororo, and after some discussion, the two decided to stay and guard the boat.
Julia, Xia Deti and Alka went to the island.
There is no need for so many people to go this time. After all, they are just drawing a map, not actually looking for treasure.
At least the map must be drawn and Alka must take a good look at the information of the golden light before taking the next step.
As for Lucilia, she would naturally follow Alka at all times.
The four of them jumped onto the Feiyan together and quickly reached the island on the Feiyan.
Tow the boat directly ashore.
The three of them walked towards the island.
This island is very different from the previous ice island, although it is still covered with snow.
But you can see the land, you can see the mountains close to each other in the distance of the island, and various plants and trees are still there.
Unlike the ice island, there is nothing but endless ice.
Alka turned around and looked at Xiadaiti: "How do we go this time?"
Generally, Xia Daiti would simply plan the shape of the island based on visual observation before sailing around the island, so as to facilitate her to quickly measure the island.
"This island is so big that you have to circle around from the outside until you get into the center of the island."
Hearing what Xiadaiti said, Alka nodded and then gestured for her to lead the way.
I took a brief tour of the island along its borders.
Although it is located in a cold and snowy area all year round, you can still see many animals. After all, there are still many cold-resistant plants and trees here.
Without these plants and small animals, the tribal residents on the island cannot live in peace.
Although Alka didn't know what these animals were, they looked somewhat strange and were very different from the world he had seen before.
Come to think of it, it seems that there are no books like animal encyclopedias anywhere.
Are there no scholars to record it?
For example, in this place he saw a creature similar to a horse, but with a pig nose, fangs like a wild boar, and a layer of scales on its tail.
I can only say that it is worthy of being a fantasy world with magical existence.
Not all creatures are like humans, where the magic circuits in their bodies become dormant.
But no matter what, judging from its appearance alone, it must be a very good camel beast.
But after all, this world is an ocean world, and it is difficult for such camel beasts to play a big role and become popular.
As they passed a forest of trees, there was movement in the branches.
A creature that looked like a fox but had eagle-like eyes and two cat-like tails behind it was hiding in the bushes and watching them.
Although the creature's fur blended in with the snow on the branches, the animal was so conspicuous in the eyes of the three people.
And it can be clearly seen that its eyes are always fixed on Julia.
Then, for some reason, it jumped twice between the branches and fell directly into Julia's arms.
Julia naturally raised her hands to take it.
Seeing this, Alka couldn't help but shake his left shoulder.
The Lucelia doll that was sitting on the shoulder and playing with a pine cone almost fell off after shaking twice.
He stretched out his hand and patted Alka's ears hard.
What a pity, no matter how hard you try, your limp arms can hardly cause any damage.
"what!"
Alka shook his head.
Only then did Lucelia see the little animal in Julia's arms.
At this time, the animal was constantly nudging towards Julia's arms, making whimpering sounds.
"What's so strange about this? Aren't all mermaids like this?"
As she said this, she saw Alka and Shadaiti staring at her.
"Okay, I forgot Julia was the first merman you met."
"They are naturally in harmony with nature. It's not like you haven't experienced the enchantment around them at all times."
