Chapter 263: Sailing

“Ding! Ding! Ding!”

The clear sound of bells echoed around.

The Sound of Dawn slowly withdrew from the berth, and the water flow below formed a support plate to lift the ship out of the port.

It wasn't until the ship crossed the white line that the water flow disappeared, and the spell on the muzzle shield disappeared with it.

Speeding up and driving out of the island.

Skip the surrounding boats.

Then they stopped on the outskirts and waited.

After a while, a huge merchant ship was seen approaching. It was Balazs's Golden Trout.

A bird made of lines is flying.

The [Flying Bird] spell may be the spell with the highest spread rate.

The bird disappeared into Alka's ear, delivering the message.

The Golden Trout quickly passed the Sound of Dawn and sailed ahead of them to lead the way.

Then the sound of dawn started quickly.

They had already discussed it.

At the helm, it was rare for someone to stand there and start steering.

Alka stood by and looked at what was in the hands of Xiadaiti who was at the helm.

It was a compass-like object with a red cross star on it, and each corner of the star was marked with a direction.

It slowly turned on the compass, guiding Alka and the others.

This thing is the signpost compass used to guide the direction in the vast ocean, and it can only be obtained on the Signpost Island.

The principle is probably to use the landmark island on which it is built as a reference to distinguish the four directions of east, south, west and north.

There are almost no finished products of this kind, and each one has to be made on site.

I don’t understand why.

It seems to be a relatively secret knowledge.

Alka and his team placed the manufacturing order the second day after arriving on the island.

But I just got it two days ago.

This compass is highly tied to the landmark island that makes it.

The compass in his hand is obviously bound to the Southern Cross Island. Once any problem occurs with this landmark island, the compass will also fail.

Balazs suggested that Alka and the others prepare an extra compass to prevent any accidents.

Although this kind of accident may not happen in your lifetime.

The compass might still be effective even until the family is destroyed.

But what if?

Although they could follow the Golden Trout all the way to their destination.

But in order to prevent accidents and to practice precise navigation in the vast ocean, Xia Daiti was still simulating his own sailing.

"According to that crude island chain map, we have to sail 16 degrees east by north, and arrive at our destination in about 30 days and nights."

As he spoke, Xia Daiti also took out a new object, which also had a cross star mark on it.

It is also produced on Southern Cross Island.

A tool for keeping time in the vast ocean.

The cylindrical hourglass is about the size of a palm. Although it is called an hourglass, it actually does not flow up and down as the palm moves up and down.

Inside are fluorescent particles like sand that can circulate automatically, and there are scales on the cylinder.

At this time, the sand is slowly turning black, and when it is completely black, night is about to come.

After night, the sand will begin to flow slowly and turn white. When everything turns white, the day comes.

A timekeeping device whose mechanism is unknown and seems to be affected by some kind of energy between heaven and earth.

This energy represents day and night.

But since they bought it, this timing device has been extremely accurate.

The changes in the scale can be used to determine how many hours of day and night there will be today.

At this time, the scale above is 21, which means that the daytime today will last for 21 hours and then it will enter night.

Simple and easy to understand tool.

"40 days and nights, that means we have to sail on the sea for quite some time." Jason, who was sitting not far away, said helplessly.

When sailing on the sea, you must be able to endure loneliness.

…

As it sails completely into the deep sea.

Life on the ship began to become unusually regular again, and everyone did almost the same things every day.

Except for meditating while on duty.

Normally, we are either studying or reading, and the rest of the time we spend is spent doing things that interest us.

Therefore, it is impossible for people who sail on the sea to do so without a hobby. People who have been sailing for a long time all have unique skills.

During this period, Lucelia successfully entered the third stage.

Jason and Juanlu sat on the edge of the boat, fishing quietly.

Looking at the Puppet Knights who were conducting routine training on the deck.

"Alas, the two of us are the weakest on the ship." Jason sighed and raised his hand to touch the crystal dragon sleeping next to him.

Juanlu, who was fishing quietly, lifted up his hat that he used to protect himself from the sun and glanced at him.

"Just shut up." Juanlu was speechless.

He has become the weakest one. His current strength has only reached the eighth spiral, which he achieved not long ago.

And Jason began to make rapid progress with the help of the crystal dragon. After all, the magic conversion rate brought by the crystal dragon was the highest among everyone.

Because of the contract, Jason's physique was also enhanced, and his already good talent became even stronger.

Without considering the assistance of treasures, in terms of his own cultivation speed, he has already ranked first in the team. Only Xia Daiti and Julia are at this level.

Alka is not included in the calculation due to the strength of his soul.

This resulted in Jason being promoted to the eighth helix before he even left the island.

It is expected that after reaching the destination, one can advance to the Nine Helix.

My talent is just average, not to mention I'm not young anymore, I'm already over 30.

Of course, compared with normal humans like Alka, the ages of those immortals should not be mentioned too much.

As Lucelia advanced to the third stage, the strength of the puppet girl on the ship increased dramatically.

The changes brought about by the stage upgrade are too great.

Deputy Captain Zero was directly promoted to the third stage.

There are 11 captains, whose strength directly reaches the ninth spiral.

The 60 team members’ strength has already exceeded the eighth helix, but is still less than the ninth helix.

This means that Juanlu's title of the weakest is well deserved.

Hearing Juanlu's words, Jason smiled slightly.

"According to Alka's character, he would travel so far to look for the pirate's treasure. There must be treasure there."

Hearing Jason's words, Juanlu didn't even turn his head, but just said quietly: "According to the contribution, the next treasure should be given to Julia."

At this time, they were the only three people on the ship without treasure, and among the three of them, Julia made the greatest contribution.

The same applies to the time of boarding the ship.

"Don't worry, it will be soon, right? Once you take this one, the next one will be yours." Jason comforted him.

At their rate, even a conservative estimate would take less than a year or two to achieve it.

Juanlu nodded and didn't care much. After all, he seldom participated in battles and his main job was logistics.

And he devoted most of his time to the research of food, especially after obtaining some testing tools from .

I also learned some more scientific experiences from Alka and Mathilda.

He felt that his cooking skills had improved by leaps and bounds.

The food produced is no longer simply delicious, but has deeper functions.

While thinking, the fishing rod in his hand shook rapidly.

He immediately shook off the thoughts in his mind, stood up immediately, and held the fishing rod tightly with both hands.

“It’s a big fish!”

The entire fishing rod has completely bent down. Fortunately, it was specially made by Simon, otherwise it would have broken long ago.

The steel fishing line was stretched straight, and magic power began to flow madly into the fishing rod along the arm.

Seeing Juanlu’s face flushed, Jason immediately put down the fishing rod in his hand and helped drag the fish.

"What a strong power!" Jason said in surprise.

The force of this rotation is too strong.

Watching the two people struggling with the fish in the sea, the awakened Crystal Dragon tilted his head and looked at them, slightly confused.

"Boogie?"

Juanlu, who was struggling , didn't pay any attention to what the Crystal Dragon was saying.

Not receiving a reply, the Crystal Dragon turned its head to look at the sea, looking at the object being dragged underwater.

The eyes began to glow.

The wings behind her began to flap rapidly. At this time, the crystal dragon's wings had already grown to be almost the same size as her body.

He ran suddenly and dived directly into the water.

"well!"

Jason saw a faint figure plunging into the sea, and then he realized what it was.

Let go immediately.

As Jason loosened his grip, his strength suddenly dropped by half, and Juanlu was caught off guard and was violently pulled down.

"ah?"

Looking at Juanlu next to him being dragged into the sea, he just happened to see Juanlu turning his head with an expression of disbelief.

He seriously suspected that Jason did it on purpose.

Jason didn't care about anything else and dived into the water.

At this time, in the observation room at the top, Alka, who was on duty, watched the figure at the bow fall into the water.

"What are you doing?"

Why did they suddenly jump into the sea one by one?

But he was not worried because Porro was in the sea at this time.

Julia and the others have also noticed the situation there.

After a while.

A crystal clear figure rushed out from the sea and flew up, flapping its huge wings and splashing water.

She held a fish that was bigger than her body in her front paws and had her mouth tightly biting the fish's body.

It's the crystal dragon.

"When did you learn to fly?"

Alka, who was watching this scene, stood up immediately and said with some surprise.

The previous crystal dragon could not fly, and the wings on its back seemed to be not fully developed yet, so it was just a decoration for the time being.

I didn't expect that I have learned to fly now.

It didn't seem like she had been out of the egg that long.

Two splashes of water appeared in the sea again, and Juanlu and Jason jumped up one after another.

"Can you fly?" Jason asked as he looked at the crystal dragon on the deck that was tightly holding on to a fish that was struggling frantically.

"I don't think she's in the mood to answer your questions right now either."

Magic power suddenly gushed out from the crystal dragon's mouth.

The fish that was bitten by her and was struggling frantically solidified instantly, and then its skin was completely covered by a layer of transparent crystals.

Only then did the Crystal Dragon loosen its tightly clenched mouth.

He shook off the water stains on his body.

"Boogie."

"That's amazing, you've grown again."

Jason squatted down with some joy, looking at the fish wrapped in crystal.

He touched the crystal dragon's head again.

"Boogie!"

"Hungry again?"

"Oh." Jason sighed.

Look at Juanlu next to him.

Juanlu smiled and said, "Okay, just prepare your gems, and leave the ingredients and nutrient gel to me."

As he said this, he patted Jason's shoulder with a gloating look and walked towards the restaurant.

Watching Juanlu leaving.

"Boogie!" The crystal dragon quickly flew over holding the wrapped fish.

Juanlu looked at the fish that fell into his arms and at the crystal dragon shouting in the air.

"Are you going to...eat it?" Juanlu asked with some confusion.

The Crystal Dragon nodded repeatedly.

Looking at the fish in his arms wrapped in a layer of hard crystal, Juanlu scratched his head in confusion.

How do I do this?

Jason walked up and knocked on the crystal shell. The crystal shell immediately became covered with cracks and then shattered.

The broken crystal pieces turned into a faint light and disappeared.

"That's more like it."

Juanlu turned and walked towards the restaurant, taking out an hourglass to check the time.

"It's almost night, let's do it together."

…

When night fell, Alka returned to his room and fell into a dream.

When I opened my eyes again, I had arrived in the world of dreams.

"Dad, you're here."

Xuan, laughing, said while floating in the sky.

Alka nodded: "Come out for a walk with me."

After saying that, he took Xuan and broke through the membrane of the dream bubble and flew out.

Since he went to bed late tonight, everyone's bubbles had already appeared in the dream world.

There are still some blind dream creatures that try to destroy the bubble membrane.

Look at the strength of those dream creatures.

Alka turned to look at Xuan who was sitting on his shoulder: "Xuan, these dream creatures are in your hands."

"No problem, leave it to me, the Puppet Knights will attack !" As she said that, Xuan immediately flew out, and a faint pink mist emanated from her body.

When the pink mist dissipated, her body had returned to that of a normal child.

In his hands appeared two pistol-shaped rock-shaking guns, and he pulled the triggers at the dream creatures on the dream bubbles.

Bullets made up of light and shadows were fired one after another crazily, fully automatically.

The dream creatures that were trying to destroy the bubbles were burst one by one like balloons.

At this time, Alka's attention was already focused on other things.

He looked towards the gathering place of dream bubbles not far behind him, which was the direction of Baraz and his ship.

They were not far away outside, so naturally they could be seen in the dream as well.

Arka's eyes suddenly changed. He looked further away, where he once again saw a group of dream bubbles that looked like a community of intelligent life.

It seemed to be passing by the vicinity of an island.

However, judging from the current time and distance, it was obviously not the target they were looking for, so Alka did not waste time going there.

He floated in place, a mirror appeared on his face, and the image in the mirror began to distort, and a huge python formed by white mist appeared in the mirror.

Arka's head immediately turned into a snake's head, a head made of clouds, with a pair of bright yellow eyes like the sun.

It opened its mouth and a snake's tongue came out.

What he simulated was the ridiculously huge cloud python that he had seen in the dream world of Southern Cross Island before.

It was the strongest dream creature he had ever seen, and he had no idea how powerful it was.

Naturally, he couldn't help but want to simulate it.

When he was on the Southern Cross Island, although he never left his dream bubble in his dream, he was actually observing through the transparent bubble membrane.

The cloud python seldom moved in the dream world, and its biggest movement was just circling twice, like turning over.

Never seen eating.

This also meant that Alka was able to observe very little, and at most he could just look at its appearance.

The snake's tongue spit out, making a puffing sound, and the snake head on Alka's face shattered like a mirror.

"No, I haven't gained any strength at all, nor have I gained any special abilities."

No special abilities have been observed, and at best can only imitate an appearance.

Even if you imitate, you can only imitate the appearance and add some unique temperament.

"well."

Alka sighed. Recently, in the dream world, he had been exploring around the dream bubble.

His main purpose was to find a powerful dream creature so that he could perform simulations.

As his strength increased, the Dream Grim Reaper could no longer keep up, and even by imitating the Dream Grim Reaper's appearance, it only gave Alka new means of attack.

Essentially, not much has changed.

Unless he could see more ferocious and powerful dream creatures.

That didn't happen.

Most of them are at the same level as the Dream Death God and the Shadow Giant.

Not only is he at the same level, he also doesn't have any special abilities like the Dream Death.

It turns out that dream creatures like this are hard to come by.

It would be great if the Dream Death God had a more powerful individual.

Alka couldn't help but think that he was really happy with the Dream Death after all.

However, after waiting for Xuan to destroy all the dream creatures around everyone's dream bubbles, Alka continued to fly away with Xuan.

The invisible ripples used for detection continue to expand around.

However, the target of this exploration is no longer the dream bubble.

But it is a powerful dream entity.
