Chapter 218 Naga
The current on the forward channel was becoming more and more violent, and it no longer looked like it was on the sea.
Instead, it was like a mountain torrent under a waterfall, with the surrounding waves constantly hitting each other and flowing forward rapidly.
On the sea, the sound of dawn kept sliding left and right, and was occasionally lifted into the air by the waves before falling down.
Such exaggerated behavior made everyone on the boat feel uncomfortable.
This is a test of the sturdiness of the ship.
"We're almost there! Hold on, everyone!" Alka said loudly, with a cable tied around his waist.
They had been sailing in such a turbulent current for most of the day.
It had been like this since before dawn.
"Why is the ocean current getting faster and faster?" Jason couldn't help but ask loudly.
"Didn't I just tell you? The channels on both sides are becoming narrower and narrower. The sea water flowing over has to be squeezed and hit, which causes the ocean currents here to become what they are now." Xia Daiti said loudly beside him.
Then he spoke up and continued, "This also means that we are getting closer and closer to the gate."
"Look ahead! Look ahead!" Lucelia said loudly while being tied with ropes and hung in the air.
Everyone turned to look.
I saw an exaggerated scene in front of me.
They saw... the edge of the world.
High in the sky at the end of the field of vision, two vertical space sections like walls hang down.
They didn't know how to describe such a cross-section. The color on the cross-section was extremely colorful, yet it seemed transparent and colorless.
It is clearly there, yet it seems unclear. As the sun shines on it, it begins to reflect some light. I don't know how to describe it.
Although it was the first time they saw such a scene, the first thing that came to their mind was the cutting surface of space.
That is the edge of the world.
As they got faster and faster.
The boundaries on both sides, which were originally far away, became narrower and narrower, and the sea water below became more rapid, with the surrounding waves constantly hitting.
The impact caused the sea water to fall like raindrops and hit the deck.
The so-called raindrops are as big as fists, and some are even as big as heads.
It hit their heads and bodies, causing them to feel painful.
Fortunately, the Sound of Dawn is strong enough, otherwise the waves and the turbulent sea water would have smashed it to pieces.
And this may be the last obstacle that the route ahead poses to all those who want to reach the boundless ocean.
And their attention couldn't help but shift to both sides.
Because the border of that world was so close to them, it cut the entire sky in half from top to bottom.
They couldn't see what was behind the border because they looked through the border and saw that it was still the blue sky, but the color changed in a different way.
It all seemed like an illusion.
The borders on both sides are sandwiched together, forcing the large amount of seawater in the originally wide channel to flow into this narrow channel.
With the border on both sides of them, they seemed to see the starry sky from within the border.
This is the visual experience brought by boundary transformation.
Two starry skies with a blue sky in the middle, a strange scene appeared before their eyes.
They may never forget such scenery in their entire lives, and it will be firmly imprinted in their hearts.
"What's that?" Julia suddenly opened her eyes wide and spoke.
Everyone immediately looked around vigilantly, but there was nothing.
The violent gale blew again.
This time, the strong wind was mixed with a large amount of magic power, which was so strong that they could see it clearly.
These magical powers dyed the wind a blue-green hue, giving it elemental colors.
The strong winds blew past them, leaving tiny wounds , with drops of blood dripping down.
Fortunately, even with the infusion of magic power, the wind blades in the strong wind are still too small.
Just cut some of their skin.
Such injuries are harmless.
"The concentration of magic in these gusts is too high," Julia said loudly.
As the strong wind blew, a huge amount of magic power blew in like a strong wind.
Before that, it was a strong wind mixed with magic.
And now it is the magic mixed with the strong wind.
The concentration of magic power even squeezed out the oxygen in the air, making their breathing become rapid.
The runes on the ship automatically lit up due to the huge amount of magic power, as if someone was inputting into them and activating them.
Similarly, this magical power, like a gust of wind, came and went quickly. After only a dozen seconds, it had completely blown through their bodies.
Just with this simple breeze blowing over them, everyone could clearly feel that the spiral in their bodies had slightly increased in magical power.
What a terrifying concentration of magic power.
"I never thought that one day I would be blown into the sky like the wind by magic." Alka fell from the sky and said as he stood steadily on the deck.
"There are elemental creatures!" Julia shouted.
She finally knew what the strange creature she had just sensed beside her was.
As she finished her words, the raindrops falling from the sky turned into flowing water.
He whipped out two streams of water and attacked them.
However, before they could make a move, Julia, holding the ice crystal sword, swung out two huge cold sword auras.
Several water elements on the boat were instantly frozen into ice cubes, which were then beaten into pieces by the crowd.
"There are a lot of elemental life in the sea water around here."
Xia Daiti pointed to the sea frost around him.
When everyone looked, they saw life formed by various currents in the sea wandering around, then merged into the sea and disappeared.
The reason why they were boiling at this moment seemed to be because of the violent gale of magic just now.
Elemental creatures naturally feed on magic power.
This is their feast.
Every splash and surge of the sea reveals their shapes.
They appear densely everywhere.
And what just landed on their boat was merely hit by the waves and flown high into the sky, falling down just like raindrops.
"The concentration of magic here is too high, causing the seawater here to be filled with magic, so it is naturally very easy to breed life of these elements."
Julia looked at the situation on the sea and answered everyone's questions.
Alka looked at the elementals.
He really wanted to sleep right now and sink into a dream to see if these elemental creatures really had such things as dreams.
However, the current situation does not allow him to do so.
Although he could exchange with himself in the dream, he could not leave his dream. He was trapped in the bubble and naturally could not see the situation outside.
It's somewhat of a pity.
As they drove faster, the boundary on both sides, which was originally at the horizon, became narrower and narrower.
Until they saw two towering pillars suddenly appearing in front of them.
These two towering mountain pillars are like giant thorns with pointed tips, and their bodies are extremely steep.
Just like the door frame of a gate.
For some reason, the surrounding sea water inexplicably calmed down and was no longer as turbulent as before, but the speed remained unchanged.
"So that's the gateway to the outside world?"
Xia Daiti asked, looking at the mountain that looked like a door frame.
It can be clearly seen that all the water flows converge towards the middle of the mountain, which forces the ships to sail towards there.
As the ship finally stabilized, the ropes tied to them were untied and they flew back.
Everyone also moved freely on the deck.
"There seems to be someone on that mountain?" Jason said, looking at the mountain with the telescope in his hand.
The sudden appearance of the mountain attracted all their attention.
They must have just passed through some illusion barrier that blocked the view of the mountain, which is why they saw the mountain so close.
Due to the extremely fast ocean current, after only a dozen seconds, they were able to vaguely see the existence on the mountain.
There was indeed an object like a human shadow moving above it.
Suddenly, the sound of dawn seemed to slam on the brakes and stopped on the sea.
The speeding Sound of Dawn suddenly stopped, and the inertia caused them to roll to the ground.
"What happened? Why did the boat stop?"
Xia Daiti stood up, walked quickly to the side of the boat and looked down.
I saw that the sea surface below was unusually calm, and the originally fast currents had all calmed down.
I couldn't help but look back. Just behind the Sound of Dawn, I could still see the water flowing continuously, but when it reached here, it all calmed down.
It was as if there was something separating the two.
By the way, even the power for the ship to travel quickly will be eliminated.
This produced an emergency stop like braking.
Everyone came to both sides and saw this situation.
At this time, music started.
The voice of dawn was asking him if he wanted to move forward.
"No rush, let's observe the situation first." Alka said cautiously.
At this time, a figure appeared from the bow of the ship, and he was shouting something at Alka and the others in an unknown language.
Looking at the figure, Alka frowned. The race of this figure looked so familiar. Wasn't it the same race as the girl who came to the boat and saved Pororo before?
"Lucelia, what is he talking about?"
At this time, Lucilia also listened attentively, and then said, "He said that his clan leader hopes to meet with us, so we can go through the gate without rushing."
Hearing this, Alka frowned.
"Ask him why."
Following Alka's communication, the strange language sounded again.
"He said the person who saved Pororo was the clan leader's granddaughter, and he wanted to get to know us."
Hearing this, Alka frowned and thought about it for a last moment.
"Follow them."
As Lucelia communicated, the boat gradually started to move, following the man with a snake-like body at a slow speed.
Slowly approaching the steep mountain on the left.
On a platform below the mountain, an old man holding a trident was waiting for them.
This old man also had a human body, a snake tail and four arms, and next to him was the girl who had saved Porro before.
When he saw Alka and the others coming, there was some surprise in his eyes, and then he smiled and waved to them as a greeting.
She didn't seem to expect that the people coming would be Alka and others.
Everyone nodded politely.
The old man swam with his snake tail to the edge of the platform, looked at Alka and the others on the deck, and spoke some incomprehensible language.
"He said thank you for coming." Lucelia turned around and replied.
Hearing this, the old man was slightly stunned.
Then he spoke again: "Thank you for coming and wasting a little time to listen to the request of a stranger like me."
Hearing the old man speak their language, everyone turned to look at him.
He seemed to have learned the same thing just by hearing what Lucelia said.
"Don't be surprised, just some little tricks."
Alka looks at the old man.
The old man gave him the feeling of being just an ordinary person, not even someone he touched.
But obviously this is impossible.
Since he couldn't be an ordinary person, yet he showed such traits, he was obviously not someone he could afford to offend.
It seems that I need to be more careful and polite.
Alka nodded politely and said, "It is your granddaughter that we should thank for saving the crew on my ship."
"If there's anything we can do to help, we'll do it."
Let me say a few polite words first.
Hearing Alka's words, the old man smiled and nodded.
"I have been waiting for you here for a long time. My name is Maldo Whitescale. Our clan is called Naga, and we are also the guardian race of this gate."
"The reason I am waiting for you here is because I have something very important to ask for your help."
Hearing this, Alka couldn't help but frown, although he had expected it.
It would definitely not be okay to ask them to come over.
But the problem is the level of familiarity between the two of them, which can be replaced by strangers.
After thinking for a while, Alka said, "If we can help."
After all, they did owe someone a favor.
As long as the request was not excessive, Alka would be happy to return the favor.
Maldo pulled up his granddaughter next to him and said, "This is my granddaughter, Matlisa Whitescale. I believe you have seen her."
"I implore you to take her with you, let her join you, and get her out of here."
What do you mean? Hearing this, Alka's frown deepened.
Alka couldn't understand why he wanted to entrust his granddaughter to us for no reason.
After all, it was the first time he met the old man and the first time he knew of their existence.
Apart from the fact that the girl came on board and treated Porro, they had never had any interaction.
Maldor certainly knew how reckless and hasty his request was. He explained: "I know this is a bit hasty, but I have to do it. We were punished by the sea god and exiled here to guard the gate to the endless sea."
"The Sea God is merciful. Every hundred years, a person who can atone for his sins will appear in our tribe. She will go to the Infinite Ocean to wash away the mistakes made by our tribe. However, we have remained like this for thousands of years."
This means that over the past thousand years, every member of the tribe who went to the Boundless Ocean to forgive their sins has failed.
Of course, it is also possible that there is no atonement at all.
“The person who redeems this time is my granddaughter, and I hope to entrust her to a trustworthy team.
But how can we know who is worthy of trust among the people who leave the gate?"
"So why did you choose us?" Alka asked curiously.
Since you don’t know whether others are trustworthy, why do you conclude that they are trustworthy?
After all, there are many teams that pass through the gate to the Endless Sea, at least there must be a group every 10 years.
And there must have been a team that had gone out before them.
It’s the team that uses sea fish as vehicles.
But Alka had already guessed why, and it might be more or less related to Pororo.
There are so many connections between the two.
Regarding Alka's question.
Maldo simply pointed to one person on the boat.
Everyone turned to look and saw that he was pointing at Porro.
"You are the Storm Champion, right? I saw it a few days ago. I saw the spiraling storm. I know someone is conducting the championship trial. I think that person is you."
Pororo nodded and admitted it very frankly.
"Yes, I am the Storm Champion of the Ocean."
Maldo nodded, looked at Alka and said, “This is why we chose you. Although we were exiled here by the sea god, it was also because our ancestors committed an irreparable mistake.
We have always believed in Poseidon, and the Storm Champion is the one who deserves the most trust, and the Redeemer can be regarded as the Saint of Poseidon."
At this point, lines appeared on the girl next to him, and the lines emitted a faint blue light.
Looking at the glow of the patterns, Porro stared at her, and patterns emitting blue light also flashed on his body.
Although the patterns on the two are not the same, it can be seen that the styles are similar.
Alka was able to be sure that since the old man knew so much about the Storm Trial, he could tell that someone had passed it just by looking at the spiral of the storm and the fluctuations of the trial.
Then the reason why the girl appeared in front of them so coincidentally before must be because the old man did it on purpose.
Perhaps he thought that it would be impossible for him to pass the trial intact, so he wanted to send his granddaughter to treat Porro at that time so that he could owe him a favor.
This is very easy to guess, and the old man in front of him must know that his intentions are too obvious.
He was betting that Alka and the others, or rather, Pororo, were not scumbags.
Of course, it is true that the girl saved Pororo, and Alka and the others do owe this girl a big favor.
The brief treatment before had already let them know some of the girl's abilities.
But this girl happened to be a scarce medical staff on the ship.
And they .
It’s right in front of me...it’s hard to make a decision.
Alka turned around and looked at everyone.
This was obviously not something he could decide alone.
Pororo was the first to express his opinion: "I agree that she can come up. She saved me and is a believer of the sea god."
Julia thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Everyone also expressed their opinions.
“Anyway, we already have believers of the Four Gods on board, so it won’t hurt to add one more.
Perhaps seeing that we are believers of the Four Gods, they will give us a little more protection when we sail on the sea in the future."
Jason suddenly spoke up.
Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to him.
How should I put it, the idea is unique .
This was a path they had never imagined.
If you think about it, it is true.
The Virgin Mary has believers such as Alka , a natural believer who has received revelations from the Virgin Mary. No one would believe that he has not been watched by the Virgin Mary.
The former saint in reserve, Xia Deti, and Jason, whose magic power turned into holy light after touching the precious treasure.
All three of them can be said to be members of the Church of Our Lady, and their connection with the Church of Our Lady is very close.
Believers in life include Julia, the maintainer of the order of the sea.
Mermaids are born believers in life and maintain order for all life in the world.
In fact, Alka had always thought that he would be a believer of the sea.
The followers of the wise man are Simons who are directly given treasures by God himself.
Well...it can be said that he ate the treasure himself.
Anyway, it must have been watched by God.
Not to mention the followers of Poseidon, Pororo has become the Storm Champion.
Although they did not know the specific composition of the Church of Poseidon, it was obvious that the Storm Champion who passed the trial would not be a small character.
There's nothing wrong with adding a Poseidon Saint.
It’s better to say it’s great.
Behind the small boat stood four righteous gods.
"Okay, we agree."
