Under the sunlight.
A ship sailing on the endless sea.
The special bird-headed prime minister and the patterns on the hull that seem to be carved in relief with vine-like patterns.
The most eye-catching thing is that there is a big tree growing on this deck.
The big trees are full of crystal gems that reflect various colors of light in the sun.
The most interesting thing is that there is a layer of grass on the deck of this ship. If you look closely, you can see that the grass really grows from the deck.
Alka stood at the helm, looking at the endless sea in the distance.
At this time, there was a small flag on the rudder with a red cross star painted on it.
This is the guiding flag of the Southern Cross Island, directing everyone to the direction of the Southern Cross Island.
"How long will it take us to reach our destination this time?" Lucelia asked, sitting on Alka's shoulder.
After hearing this, Alka thought for a moment and replied, "According to our previous calculations, and with the speed of the Dawn Sound now increasing, it should take three to four months."
"Will it take so long?"
"It's already pretty fast, and we've only just reached the Broken Sea. It might take another half a month to reach Southern Cross Island."
Alka said that after all, they were on the Gemini Islands, which was quite far away from the Southern Cross Island.
Although it was broken, and the entire expanse was still disordered and chaotic, there was a signpost island that could provide stability in the sea of ​​dark clouds.
Therefore, it is divided into prosperous areas and relatively remote areas, and the broken sea area where they appeared can no longer be described as remote but can be described as a border.
According to their understanding, those who arrived at the Infinite Sea from the Home Sea usually appeared in remote areas, because this was the most chaotic area in the Infinite Sea.
The chaos here is not reflected in the direction of disorder, but in the desolation.
The Broken Sea itself is made up of the broken fragments of the world and the ocean, a patched up and tattered world.
Although tens of thousands of years have passed and everyone in the world has worked hard, it has only been stabilized in the more central areas.
Marginal areas like these are difficult to reach.
For example, the scene of the sea surface turning upside down and the space being in chaos that they had encountered in the Broken Sea before could only be encountered in such a border sea area.
The ocean vision here is more exaggerated than anywhere else.
It can be considered as the experience they gained from sailing.
As they left the Border Island and sailed towards the Twin Islands, they could clearly feel that the exaggerated and chaotic disasters were becoming less and less.
At this moment, Alka saw Simon coming up from the cabin below.
I quickly asked, "Simon, do you understand the thing I asked before?"
Simon nodded: "I looked up some information and roughly understood the entire Saralan Empire's history and current situation."
Hearing this, Lucilia also became curious.
The others who were doing their own things on the deck also gathered around, waiting for his answer.
Simon's notebook appeared in his hand. He flipped through it and began to tell everyone.
"The first founder of the Saralan Empire was the Savior - Saralanth, a chosen one of the Sea God."
Having said that , he glanced at Polo next to him.
Everyone looked at him curiously.
Pororo looked at the looks from everyone, shrugged helplessly and replied, "Don't look at me. I don't quite understand what the Chosen One means."
"Aren't you a loyal believer of the sea god? And you are also the Storm Champion." Jason asked puzzledly.
Hearing this, Porro raised his finger and pointed at himself: "How do you think I look like a faithful believer? I am a fishman. I have believed in the ocean since I was a child and lived in the ocean. Of course, I naturally became a believer of the sea god."
"What prayers and praises are all about? They don't understand these things."
Pororo waved his hand irritably as he spoke, not feeling at all that his behavior was wrong.
Although most of the Poseidon believers are like this, after all, in this world, ocean storms and the like can be considered part of the Poseidon.
Therefore, Poseidon never takes the initiative to preach.
Mathilda next to him held her forehead helplessly.
He explained beside him: "The concept of God's election is the same as the concept of God's election in other churches. There is no difference."
Matlisa is also a believer of Poseidon. Their entire race committed a serious mistake and was punished by Poseidon to guard the gate of the passage.
Even though Matlisa said this, Alka still didn't understand.
His concept of religion... let's put it this way, is no different from Pororo's. In some ways, it may even be worse than Pororo's.
He turned his head silently and looked at Xia Daiti beside him.
After all, as a former candidate saint, she should know this.
Looking at Alka’s eyes, Xiadaiti rolled his eyes helplessly and explained: “The so-called God’s Chosen One is literally the one chosen by God.
But in the Twin Church, I learned more about it. The general meaning is that one is willing to accept the power given by God, but is not willing to believe in God wholeheartedly. "
"What they do is in line with the needs of a certain god. It's like an investment relationship." Simon added slightly.
After hearing this explanation, Alka roughly understood.
If the agent or saint is a believer of a god, the god will naturally give his power to his believers.
There will also be a higher level of tolerance.
But some people don’t believe in themselves very much, but what they do is in line with what they want, so naturally they will provide some help.
Obviously not everyone can meet such requirements.
Simon then continued, "When the savior was 23 years old, he killed the deep sea troll, Okandar. He was then chosen by the sea god."
"As for this deep sea troll, there aren't many records about it. It's probably some kind of powerful marine monster."
"What happened next? Why was he called the Chosen One?" Juanlu asked curiously.
Simon flipped through his handbook and continued, “You would never guess that he was active about 6,400 years ago.
After such a long time, some of his deeds have been glorified and mythologized by the Saralan Empire at that time, so it is difficult to verify them.
However, according to the research of scholars in the church, he must have done something to stabilize the world. It is said that he opened the barrier, making it difficult for outsiders to come in. "
"Of course, for most people, his greatest achievement was actually killing the invading race - the Ves people from the stars.
They are aliens like the Bronze Hammer. Of course, this race came with malicious intent.”
"According to legend, during the war, he led those whose homes were destroyed and organized a legion to drive away these outsiders.
These homeless people who followed him later formed the Saralan Empire on the ruins of the war. This was the beginning of the empire. "
After Simon explained the origin of this great empire in one breath, he began to continue his story.
“You all know what happened next. This empire got better and better, and successfully became one of the most well-known and largest forces in the entire Infinite Sea 4,000 years ago.
But about 1,000 years ago, the demon we encountered before, called the Devouring Mouth, returned and destroyed the country in some way. "
"And it caused a world scar that still exists today. The huge gaping hole there was once the front line of defense against aliens, and became an outpost for demonic invasion.
Basically all the church forces have troops there, and the remaining Saralans are still there resisting the demons that are invading at any time."
After finishing, Simon closed the booklet and looked at everyone.
Everyone was silent, still thinking about what Simon had just said.
"So it's a very dangerous area, right?" Alka asked.
After all, demons are rampant.
Simon nodded without hesitation: “From what I understand, this is the case, because the world barrier broken by the World Scar is not only of interest to demons.
Every monster that's interested in this world has a little bit of that."
"So there must be countless treasures buried in the ruins of that empire, right?"
Simon nodded , "Yes, there are at least two well-known treasure hunting groups that became famous from there. And all the well-known treasure hunting groups have left their footprints there."
At this point, Simon seemed to have thought of something and took out his own book. After flipping through it for a long time, he finally found what he had recorded.
"According to what I know now, in the 1,000 years since the fall of the Saralan Empire, there have been records that have been confirmed and the information I have found shows that.
The wealth produced there is incalculable. As for the treasures alone: ​​there are 15 holy grail-level treasures, 6 scepter-level treasures, and the only crown-level treasure that has been identified, 1."
Simon then emphasized: "Remember, this is only what has been confirmed, what is clearly known and what I can find recorded.
Probably less than 1/5 of the actual production.”
Hearing this, Xia Daiti couldn't help but frowned: "I can understand the rest, but why is there a crown-level treasure that has been clearly identified?"
Can this thing be exposed casually?
"I was also very curious at the time, so I checked it out." Simon said with a strange expression: "The owner of this crown-level treasure is also a strong man born from the Home Sea.
After he got the treasure, he used its power without hesitation to kill demons and various evil monsters on the battlefield. He killed them for five years before leaving the area.
"Besides , he had been there for 10 years before and had never left. So it was easy to identify that his treasure was found in this area. After he got the treasure, he never concealed it, but rushed to the front line and killed even more happily.
And the provider of the information is the Church of Our Lady.”
"So are we going here later too?" Jason turned to look at Alka and asked.
After all, it was Alka who asked Simon to help him look up information.
I'm sure Alka has some ideas about this place.
Alka nodded and said directly: "The old man who lent me the treasure should be a descendant of the Saralan Empire. He should be fighting in this area now.
He deliberately told me about this area to make me curious. But I have to admit that I am indeed very curious about this area. "
Then he looked at everyone and asked, "How about it, do you guys want to go?"
"Of course we have to go and crush all those demons!" Porro said fiercely with his fists clenched.
Looking at Porollo, Julia suddenly said, "I can suddenly understand the behavior of the person Simon just mentioned."
Obviously he is the same type of person as Porro.
Fighting maniac.
"My suggestion is to wait until we reach stage five, or are almost at stage five," Simon said.
"Why?"
"Because we offended the Devouring Mouth, that area can be said to be the Devouring Mouth's home. His real body has been firmly confined to that area.
If you are not strong enough, you know what will happen."
This made everyone nod their heads.
Indeed, they had offended the devil there early on.
Once they get there, they will definitely be severely targeted. If they don't have the strength, the danger level there will obviously be several levels higher than others.
And if they all reach the fifth stage, Alka will be able to increase his power to the sixth stage at some point through his dream power.
And if a sixth stage player were to protect himself on a battlefield like that, there would be almost no problem.
If you think about it, they will have to wait until all these issues are resolved before they can go.
"Before going there, you have to follow me to another place." The crystal dragon who had been hiding nearby suddenly looked up and said.
"Is that the one you were talking about before?" Jason turned to look at her and asked.
Around the third stage, she had already told Alka and the others that she would take them to an area after the fourth stage.
But at that time it was Jason who relayed it.
Urulius nodded: "Yes, my inherited memory tells me that this is very important. Not only for me, but also for you."
Alka looked at Urulius and nodded, "Then let's arrange our schedule first."
“Take revenge on Southern Cross Island and find Baraz, open Vastva’s ritual and get the treasure.
After getting the treasure, we will go directly to the place you mentioned. Then we will go to the Trial Island.
After we get the clearance reward on the Trial Island, our strength should be close to the fifth stage, and we can consider heading to the ruins of Saralan and the World Scar. "
Alka briefly arranged their next tasks and itinerary and looked at everyone.
Everyone sorted out their thoughts and nodded.
It’s quite reasonable.
After all, the stronger you are in the Tower of Trials, the better it is for you to pass it.
"Okay, let's move forward at full speed now."
Alka said, leaning on the rudder and looking ahead.
Look at the red star flag fluttering on the rudder.
“I hope the journey will be within expectations.”
When Jason said this, everyone turned their heads to look at him.
Before anyone could teach them a lesson, the crystals spread across Jason's face, sealing his mouth completely.
"Jason, you really should stop talking." Urulius looked at him helplessly.
With his mouth completely sealed by the crystal, Jason shrugged helplessly and sighed. He stopped quibbling and squatted silently beside him.
Alka turned his head and looked out to sea.
"It seems that this time, it won't be easy."
Everyone nodded in unison, only to receive a cold stare from Jason, whose mouth was sealed.
“Hmmmm!”
Translated it means superstition.
…
When the blue sea began to surge, a tsunami-like sea wall appeared on the side of the sea. On top of this sea wall, the Sound of Dawn sailed steadily and diagonally.
At this time, everyone on the boat was standing on the boat looking at the surrounding environment. In their field of vision, the sky was still above their heads, but the sky was tilted, and there was also sky on their right.
"I haven't seen such a chaotic sea for a long time. I miss it for some reason." Jason, who had nothing to do, sat on the boat and looked at the sea conditions, and couldn't help but smile.
This also indicates that they have basically arrived at the Broken Sea. It is understood that such strange phenomena as the sea surface turning upside down and the space being chaotic should be unique to the Broken Sea.
The various sea conditions in other sea areas and the chaos in the world would not be so exaggerated.
But there wouldn't be much danger in trying it like this, it would just be a little scary.
Marine disasters in other border waters are real disasters that can cause serious damage to ships and surrounding areas.
What they are facing now is just the chaos of space, which actually does not pose much danger.
"Come on, Urulius, let's fly around."
Jason couldn't wait to jump onto Urulius' back.
"You're so annoying!" Urulius said helplessly, but still slowly climbed up from the deck. Then he suddenly jumped off the boat, spread his wings and began to soar in the sky.
The sea surface began to become more and more chaotic.
The sea wall they were leaning against continued to extend upward, and then the entire sea surface turned into a cylinder, and the sky appeared in front of and behind them.
Jason was riding Urulius in the center of the distant sea, flying forward following the sound of dawn above.
"Oh, I'm so jealous." Simon said.
"Why don't you just make your flying machine?"
“This is different.”
