Looking at the black spot in the distance.
The Dawn Sound began to move in that direction.
This will be the first island they encounter in the vast ocean.
As they got closer, they could clearly see that the island was very large. The black dot they had seen before was just a small corner of the island.
As we drove, the spreading coastline appeared in the entire field of vision, completely filling the entire field of vision.
It can’t be the mainland, right ?
This was the first thought that came to Alka's mind.
It's not surprising that he thought so. The main reason was that he had been in this world for so long, and he had never seen an island in the distant sea with a coastline extending beyond his entire field of vision.
As for the other people on the ship, the concept of continent did not even exist in their minds.
They naturally thought that there was an island ahead, just a very large island.
Lucelia was the only one who had heard of the word "continent" in ancient mythological epics.
Seeing this, Alka immediately waved to Xiadaiti.
"Xadaiti, can you use your ring of light to control the surrounding light and make the ship invisible?"
Whether it is a continent or an island ahead, there is a possibility that intelligent life exists.
It's better to be careful when you first arrive.
"Control the light and make the ship invisible?" Xia Daiti was a little confused.
How can this be done?
Are there any similarities between controlling light and becoming invisible?
Hearing this, Alka couldn't help but scratch his head. How to explain this?
After thinking for a while, he created a mirror, wrapped the surroundings of the ship, and then said.
"It is through the refraction of light that the scene on one side is transmitted to the other side, as if the entire ship is transparent."
Then let the Sound of Dawn slow down, or even just stop on the sea.
Alka began to explain the simple principle of how to become invisible through the refraction of light.
As for how to do it in specific details, he certainly didn't know, but he could give a general idea.
The fact that he still remembers this is probably proof that he has worked hard to learn.
Although in fact, these are all what he saw when he was browsing videos when he had nothing to do.
For Xia Daiti who can control light, as long as she can experiment and skillfully control the light, she should be able to succeed and complete this invisibility.
As for the others, they naturally looked confused and didn't understand anything. Of course, this excluded Simon, who seemed to understand something and was thinking about something.
However, for Xia Daiti, who can control light, her understanding of light exceeds that of everyone present.
Including Alka.
After all, all he understood were some simple theories he had known before, and this place was no longer the world it once was.
With Alka's guidance, Xiadaiti seemed to understand.
When we started experimenting, nothing was as easy as it sounded.
After dozens of minutes, there was still no effect.
The first and most important thing to be solved is that Xia Daiti's control over light cannot reach such a fine level. The focus of her previous practice was all on gathering and emitting.
She had hardly had much practice in this area.
Obviously they couldn't wait that long.
After almost an hour, Xia Daiti could only make the surroundings distorted and blurred, which made it more conspicuous.
But it seems to be on its way to success.
But there is still a long way to go to succeed.
Xia Daiti shook his head: "No, although I think it is feasible, I can't do it now."
"Well, I'll use the mirror to help you."
Alka thought for a moment and said.
His mirror can appear rougher, but no matter how rough it is, it can directly achieve some desired effects.
After saying this, Alka controlled the mirror to appear and put it on his face, but no scene appeared on the mirror.
Alka raised his hands, and liquid-like mirrors gushed out and formed a semicircular cover, trapping the entire ship inside.
Alka then controlled the mirror to transmit the scene from one side to the other side.
Although there are still flaws, if you look closely, you will see obvious shaking as the ship moves, or you can find the asymmetry between the scenes from other angles.
However, the boundless ocean and the sunlight in the sky can easily cover up this flaw.
The surrounding environment will help the ship hide.
Unless they are sure there is something wrong here.
In order to ensure a better stealth effect, Alka asked Xiadaiti to control the light to provide a deeper concealment.
When the two are combined, the ship's stealth effect is perfect.
Of course, this is just a substitute for Xiadaiti who has not yet learned how to achieve invisibility through the refraction of light.
After everything was ready, Alka said to the Voice of Dawn, "Go ahead. Remember to slow down and take your time."
If it goes too fast, it will be difficult to conceal the ship's path, and the distortion will be too obvious.
The sound of dawn slowly moved across the sea.
Everyone began to look forward to what different scenery there would be on that island.
As they drove, they soon arrived at the coast that stretched as far as the eye could see. They could see that the size of the island was beyond their imagination.
It might even be a continent, because they could not find any coastline within their field of vision.
"Is there such a big island?" Jason couldn't help asking as he looked at the endless coastline in front of him.
In the Home Sea, even the largest island is not this big.
The Home Sea is dotted with very small islands, and the boundaries of the islands can be seen almost from a distance.
In other words, there is no real big island, not even the cathedral where the Church of Our Lady is located.
"Really? Don't you have such a big island there?" Simon said with some surprise.
Jason shook his head.
“The island where the Maltes Kingdom is located is such a large island with no visible borders.
But I’ve only seen that one.”
From everyone's communication, Alka learned that there are such large islands in other seas.
The Home Sea also exists, but it is too large, so Alka and the others only moved around in a corner of the map before leaving.
But without exception, such large islands are extremely rare.
The islands in all sea areas are very small.
While chatting, everyone finally arrived at the border of the island and saw some of the conditions on the island.
As far as they could see, there was green vegetation, and most of the borders were steep stone walls like cliffs.
Only on the very side border can you see anything resembling a beach, and all you can see on the island are some vegetation and a lot of wasteland.
But you can also see something like a forest.
The scenes that can be seen are limited.
Trees, jagged rocks, upward slopes, and mountain peaks blocked their view.
There is nothing special in this limited scene, it just looks like an ordinary island.
The invisible ship slowly arrived at the border of the island.
“Go around the border.”
After hearing Alka's order, the ship slowly began to circle, and everyone began to carefully observe the situation inside the island through this circle.
In this way, the group circled for three hours, but still did not see the border of the island.
But during these three hours they did not see any signs of human activity, but they did see some animals moving around in the border forest.
Most of these creatures have never been seen before.
"Is this an uninhabited island?"
After going around in circles without any results, Juanlu asked.
"For such a large island, we are only checking the border. It is difficult to know the situation inside. The probability of it being an uninhabited island is too low."
Alka said, shaking his head.
Of course, he didn't say anything absolute. After all, this was the boundless ocean, and they had no idea what the specific situation would be like as they had just arrived.
Anyway, whether in the Home Sea or in other seas, such a huge island will definitely not be uninhabited.
But who knows about the vast ocean?
"By the way, have you found a problem?"
Julia suddenly said while standing still.
Hearing this, everyone turned around and looked at him with puzzled expressions.
Julia pointed to the sky and asked, "How long has the day been?"
After hearing this, everyone remembered.
They probably entered the gate in the afternoon of the forward channel.
If the time is the same on both sides, it should be night now.
But the problem is that the time they drifted in the dark space was uncertain, and Alka was not awake at the beginning. He woke up halfway, and the ship arrived here shortly after he woke up.
"It's possible that a day or several days passed while we were unconscious." Simon said after thinking for a while.
"No, that's not right."
Xia Daiti said suddenly, then she stretched out her hand, and a little light gathered on her hand.
"I am very sensitive to light now. When we first arrived in this sea area, the brightness of the sky was no different from now, and the position of the sun has not changed at all."
That was something she was sure of.
"So the days are going to be long here?" Lucelia asked.
Xia Daiti shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
But no matter what, the sun hasn't moved for such a long time, so there must be something wrong with the daytime here.
Seeing everyone thinking, Jason shrugged and said, "I think we should not think about this. You also said that this place is in chaos. It's not strange that it turns into darkness immediately, right?"
That’s true.
The sea level that just rose and fell like a piece of cloth has reshaped their worldview.
The sun just doesn't move, and I haven't seen any impact yet.
"So do we have to keep going?"
Alka nodded and said, "Go on. We haven't seen a suitable landing site in the past few hours. Even if there is someone, they won't build a port in an unsuitable place, right?"
If this is an island, the settlement must of course be built in a place suitable for manufacturing a port, or at least close to such a place.
After all, areas like this are natural places to settle down.
The ship started moving again, and everyone began to pay attention to the changes in the sky.
In this way, they drove along the coastline for about 5 hours again, and there was still no change in the sky.
During this process, they still didn't make any major discoveries, but Jason did catch a few fish.
Finally, they found a bay that was very suitable for landing.
Seeing the concave bay from afar, Alka immediately ordered the Voice of Dawn to slow down.
Then, together with Xia Daiti, they controlled the attack more carefully to reduce the possibility of being discovered.
If there were people on this island, there would definitely be buildings in this bay which is extremely suitable for landing.
And this area seems to be very suitable for settling down.
As the entire bay came into their sight.
"There's a wreck!" said Jason.
Everyone also saw three abandoned ships of different sizes, broken into pieces on the surface of the bay.
These abandoned ships were in such a dilapidated state that they looked more like the wreckage of a shipwreck pushed to the shore.
Basically only rotten wooden boards were left.
When they arrived at the bay and were considering whether to enter, the sky suddenly changed.
Everyone looked up.
I saw a horizontal line quickly passing across the sky, and after it passed, the day turned into night.
In just a few seconds, the sky became completely dark, with stars dotted on the curtain.
They even saw several huge planets hanging in the starry sky, hanging there brightly, as if they would fall down at any time.
It gives people a full sense of oppression.
The sudden darkness and the completely unfamiliar starry sky made everyone stand still.
"So... this is how the darkness of the Endless Sea came about." Xia Daiti couldn't help but ask.
They all just saw that thing like a line passing through the sky, and the scenery in the sky seemed to be covered, turning from day to night in just a few seconds.
It's like there are two pictures, and someone takes one side of one picture and quickly covers it on top of the other picture.
There was no such thing as dusk.
It's that direct.
"Okay, now I won't be surprised no matter what outrageous things happen." Alka said, lowering his head.
It’s okay, that’s the characteristic of The Expanse.
Just get used to it.
Alka consoled herself in this way.
In just one day, two phenomena that reshaped the worldview appeared, but it doesn’t matter. As long as the worldview is fragmented enough, you don’t need to care about these things.
If everyone thinks about it for a while, it will be true.
Even the sea water can fly into the sky, and they can drive upside down, so what is unacceptable about the alternation of night and day?
Their mentality has begun to change.
All kinds of wonders and strange phenomena are coming one after another.
They will definitely not be surprised anymore.
And with the darkness of night, and the mirrors surrounding the ship, their disguise was almost perfect.
Unless someone observes closely.
"So are we going to the island to check it out now?" Jason asked from the side.
Alka looked at the abandoned ship on the beach in the bay, thought for a moment and shook his head.
It's evening now.
Moreover, no one knows the situation on this island. Who knows if there will be anything outrageous on it?
After all, the concentration of magic power here is a bit too high.
Too high a concentration of magic power will affect everything in the world, and everything may come alive.
"No, let's dock the boat first and go ashore during the day. I'll go around in the dreamland at night and do some reconnaissance."
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
If there is intelligent life on this shore, Alka will be able to find it through the dream bubbles in the dream.
Maybe we can get some information by then.
And even the dreams of animals are not completely useless.
No matter what, it's always better to be cautious when you first arrive.
Damn the author, why can't he give a little more information in "Dream Land"?
He got angry when he thought of the ambiguous descriptions in "Dreamland".
Just seduce her and leave her alone, right?
So they drove the Sound of Dawn into a small depression in the cliff wall next to it.
Prepare to rest here for a night.
"Speaking of which, how long will it take for this night to disappear?"
Jason, who was sitting in the restaurant eating, suddenly asked.
It was already daytime when they first arrived here, so they had no idea how long the daytime was.
"Don't worry, I have been counting the time since the night began. As long as we wait until the night disappears, we will know how long it will last." Simon said with a smile.
Such an important matter must be observed at all times.
Everything about this place is so special and wonderful.
This is true for Simon, who has the attributes of a researcher .
After finishing the meal, Alka said, "Everyone should take a good rest today. It's been a tiring day."
That's right. I am really exhausted today, both physically and mentally.
After arranging the night watch, Alka returned to his room.
After a simple wash, he lay down on the bed and quickly fell into a dream.
He couldn't wait to know what the dream world of the Boundless Ocean looked like.
Will it become more lively as he imagined, or will it become completely different.
He was basically able to determine that there was an obvious barrier between the Boundless Sea and the sea area where the Four Gods were.
That was the dark place they had passed through before.
Alka couldn't even dream there, which meant there were no dreams there.
Thinking of this, Alka's body woke up from the dream.
The first thing Alka did when he woke up was to look at his dream bubble.
There was nothing strange going on inside the bubble...really.
Alka looked at the huge crystal behind him. Inside the crystal there was some golden energy left from before.
Some silver energy that had never been seen before appeared.
Looking at these unknown energies appearing in the crystal, Alka frowned. When did this happen and when did he go in?
He stretched out his hand slightly, immersed it into the crystal, pinched a freely floating silver energy ball in his hand, and then took it out.
Pink mist surged out from his hands and wrapped around the silver ball of energy. He closed his eyes and began to carefully sense what this thing was.
After a while, the results came out.
I see.
This energy and the golden dream energy can almost be said to be the same, but the effects they produce are different.
The golden energy can turn things in dreams into reality, pour them into reality, and open the door from dreams to reality.
The silver energy can transform the real things into virtual things and flow into the dream world, thus opening the door from the reality to the dream world.
Although the two look very similar, their meanings are completely opposite.
For example, the doors are not interconnected.
But according to some information obtained by Alka, basically when the distance between reality and dreams becomes faint, the gap that opens up can enable communication between them.
That is to say, basically every door that opens naturally involves the simultaneous use of two energies.
And these two energies are indeed not the same, and you can use this energy to construct a one-way door.
This will allow Alka's control and the desired effect to be more flexible.
So the question is, where does this silver energy come from?
I have no idea.
After all, it is my own dream, and the world has a detailed record of it.
Alka closed his eyes and began to recall what happened in his dream bubble. His control over his dream bubble had basically reached an exaggerated level.
It can even be said that he is the god in his own dream bubble.
Of course it's not just him, everyone is like this after training.
The only question is how to train.
The moment the silver energy appeared.
It happened just now.
Arka opened his eyes and frowned when he learned the origin of the silver energy .
The silver energy was actually brought by the dream he had just fallen into.
Every time I sink into a dream, I will bring some energy from reality, which is equivalent to breaking the gap between reality and dreams.
It is equivalent to a one-way passage, which generates silver energy.
Thinking of this, Alka woke up immediately and lay on the bed, closed his eyes again and fell into a dream again.
Turn your head.
There is not much silver energy in the crystal.
"No? Why?"
It was able to produce silver energy just now, but not now.
And why didn’t it happen before?
Is there a time limit?
Or is it just the first time?
Or is the situation in the Expanse Ocean special?
The information we know is too little to analyze the normal information at all. We can only wait until the next time the silver energy appears to analyze the difference between the two.
