Chapter 436: Departure
Eight months have passed since they returned to the Twin Islands.
After handing over the phonograph and fusion ring to Julia and Jason a month ago, the creation of the treasure was successfully completed.
A few days ago, Lucilia also perfectly advanced to the fifth stage. At the same time, the strength of the puppet girls also improved and stabilized at various places in the fourth stage.
Except for the captain, the rest of the puppet girls are all in the lower stage of the fourth stage.
The captain was only at the middle of the fourth stage.
The only one who followed Lucilia closely was the deputy leader Zero.
Her strength improved almost immediately following Lucelia's. When Lucelia's strength reached the fifth stage, she also followed suit and reached the fifth stage.
I had originally planned to stay for about a year, but now it was time to leave.
Alka leaned against the side of the boat, looking at the busy port, wondering what he was thinking.
Then they saw a humanoid creature wearing a streamlined tights and a transparent helmet walking towards them, followed by Xia Daiti.
From this special shape, we know that the person wearing a helmet and completely enclosing himself is the Vastwa people living in this space.
The Vastwa people have now adapted to the environment quite well, and their level of adaptation has basically reached that of their home sea, or even higher.
Therefore, the Vastwa people would occasionally wander around the island in fully enclosed equipment to familiarize themselves with the outside world.
Alka has been considering waiting for some time and letting these Vastvas be inspired by the treasure and become touchers.
After becoming a Toucher, you can begin to contact the outside world with your complete physical body.
With an idea in mind, Alka walked straight to the captain's room and waved his finger to convey the message of the meeting.
Sitting in the captain's room, Alka began to look at some information in his hand, waiting for everyone to arrive.
As the door opened, people came in one after another.
Before long, everyone on the boat was present.
"Things on the island are almost done. It's time to leave here and head to the next destination."
"Go to the World Scar?" Xia Dai asked.
Alkar nodded and said, “Yes, we must go over there and kill the rat that is targeting us in the dark.
Otherwise, all our subsequent actions may lead to unpredictable and huge crises.”
This was something they had already decided on.
If you don't go to the World Scar to solve the problem of the Devouring Mouth.
They have to be careful in everything they do from now on, because there is a sinister guy in the shadows.
This guy has obviously set his sights on Alka and the others, and is determined to hold their souls in his hands.
Not to mention that they will have to collect the 12 trial towers later, which will conflict with various forces.
God knows when the swallowing mouth will attack them in the dark.
If they take such actions at the most critical moment, it is very likely that they will pay an irreparable price.
So Alka decided to kill the rat first and then think of the others.
Although it may take several years or even more than ten years, it is worth it for them.
Moreover, the island, or the land where the Devouring Mouth is located, is the burial site of a huge empire.
The empire's treasures are innumerable, which means they are doing real work.
They can also continue to enhance their strength by obtaining various wealth and treasures, and it is also a place with enough opponents.
And the demons could be trapped there for so long, obviously more knowledge and power to deal with demons can be obtained in that area.
On the contrary, they are safer facing the swallowing mouth than outside.
"Now let's summarize the information of this place in detail."
Hearing Alka's words, Lucilia nodded and waved her hand, and a huge book appeared in front of everyone.
"According to the intelligence we have collected recently, the distance between the Twin Islands and the ruins of the Saralan Empire, also known as the World Scar, will take about 4 to 6 months to travel.
The Demon Hunter Judge Grayfar you mentioned is the leader of a group of survivors of the Saralan Empire and is more inclined towards the Church of the Holy Mother.
He leads an organization called the Demon Hunting Inquisition, all members of which hate demons or remnants of the empire. They are also a group of experts and elites in dealing with demons. "
“Because it is the scar of the world, it is full of wars. The churches of various gods and various forces have troops there.
There is a unified resistance council that leads all who come.”
Lucelia began to slowly tell them what they knew about this place.
After all, releasing the demons there would not be a good thing for the whole world, so anyone who is not a fool would send the resources they deserve there.
There may be various problems that hinder our progress in other places, but we must know that there are four gods hanging over our heads in this world.
They knew very well what kind of problems would arise if they hindered each other, so no mortal force dared to disobey the joint order of the Four Gods.
Of course, this is all pieced together from various information and books.
You have to go and see it in person to know the details.
After listening to Lucilia's story, Jason thought for a moment and asked, "So I want to know how big that place is, and if we want to kill the Devouring Mouth there, how difficult will it be?"
"How big is it... Let me think about it. If we use an analogy, an island as big as the sea can actually be called land."
"Is it that big?" Alka asked in surprise.
Now, perhaps only the fragrant land away from the sea of marsh can be compared.
It was also the largest island they had ever seen, like a small piece of land.
Under the power of the flower fairy's revival, it broke away from the sea and became a huge island.
The overall area of Zehai can really be described as a continent.
“Of course it wasn’t this big at the beginning, but since the World Scar, there have been more and more demons.
But you know that demons really have no advantage on the sea, so they used the power of the abyss to summon a volcano there, and through the eruption of the volcano and the lava, they slowly expanded the area to an exaggerated area like a swamp."
Lucelia said.
Although the abyss is chaotic, there are all kinds of demons in strange shapes and sizes.
But generally speaking, these demons can only be called terrestrial creatures, and very few of them have adapted to seawater.
Coupled with the resistance of various churches and organizations, the demons pouring out of the world's scars were completely blocked there.
Even though the demons are expanding their territory, in addition to the blockade on the shore, there is also a blockade on the sea, which almost surrounds the place.
Maybe there is the power of God at work there. Alka even feels that there must be the power of God.
Until now the demons have not broken through that place, and as time goes by, it becomes more and more difficult to break through there.
“As for the Devouring Mouth we want to kill, he was originally the vanguard officer of the invaders, and later became one of the commanders because of his achievements.
There are three demon leaders in total, and the Devouring Mouth is the third one, and his strength is about the eighth stage."
“Just entered the eighth stage…” Upon hearing this, Juanlu leaned back in his chair. It was obvious that this was going to be a long battle.
But it must be said that not resolving this matter is indeed a problem. After all, being targeted by such a cunning demon is not an easy thing.
“This is already its weakened strength. Although the Infinite Sea is a broken world, it is still a world that is protected by powerful gods.
These demons will only become stronger in the abyss. When they come here, they will be suppressed in strength to some extent.
The reason why I first entered the eighth stage is because the Devouring Mouth has been sealed and killed too many times since the God War Era until now. "
Lucelia said as she flipped through the huge book in front of her.
They knew this long ago.
After all, the earliest record of the Devouring Mouth was in the Golden Age, but in that era, the Devouring Mouth was not really a big threat.
There are too many gods and various divine creatures who can crush him to death.
At that time, everything he did in this world had to be done with great caution.
In the end, he must have angered someone and was crippled by a god during the War of Gods. It took tens of thousands of years before he revived again a few thousand years ago.
After the retelling, a powerful empire was brought down.
"So even if we kill him, he is not dead and will revive after many years?" Jason asked from the side.
There was no need for Lucilia to answer this question, as Urulius next to her said directly: "There are two ways. One is to rush into the abyss and kill him. According to the legend, this demon in the abyss can be compared to the existence of a god.
The second method is to let him get his body and soul out of the abyss and into reality. At this time, if you attack him with targeted attacks, it is very likely that he will die completely.
Even if he doesn't die, he will be broken and devoured by other hostile demons in the abyss."
Hearing these two words, it was clear that Urulius's meaning was very simple. Don't even think about really killing it completely, it would be very difficult.
“Although the Devouring Mouth is a demon, as we have seen before, it is a cunning demon who prefers the devil’s form. It is impossible for him to put himself in such a disadvantage.
So our goal is to kill him once, so that he will have at least a few decades to make any impact on the world.
As for decades later, if we are still afraid of him at that time, then these decades may have been wasted," Alka said directly.
This sentence may sound a bit arrogant, but it is indeed the truth for everyone.
If they are still afraid of the Devouring Mouth that has just revived after decades, then they are really wrong.
"Okay, we'll consider it when we get to the World Scar."
Alka knocked on the table and the meeting was over. He then said to everyone, "Let's exchange the remaining money for various materials we need and keep some for backup."
This time, they were apparently going to stay there for a very long time.
"And prepare more supplies for Vastwa."
After assigning some tasks, everyone left the captain's room.
They started to get busy.
…
After a month, they purchased all kinds of spell materials, minerals and medicinal herbs.
I have to say that their acquisition this time is indeed quite eye-catching.
They have almost bought up all the higher-end materials in the past month.
Even more striking is their need for ordinary supplies.
This time they prepared enough supplies for the Vastvan people so that they could fully adapt to the magic of the Vastvan Sea.
Of course, all the money spent was the wealth that the Vastwa people had always preserved, which was an astonishing amount of wealth.
To a certain extent, their acquisitions even caused panic among ordinary civilians and businessmen.
As a result, someone from the church came to ask Alka what exactly they were trying to do?
Because the supplies Alka and his men acquired were enough to fight a big battle.
After resolving the misunderstanding and purchasing enough things, Alka and his team quickly left the Twin Islands.
Alka looked at the guidance flag on the rudder, and the place where this flag pointed was exactly the scar of the world.
A gift from the Archbishop.
"Cough... cough..." A strange cough came from behind.
But Alka was used to it and turned to look.
Behind him was a Vastwa who was not wearing any protective gear.
This person was none other than Waku.
Although he is seasick, he is the one with the highest adaptability to magic and is often used as a test subject for magic adaptation.
Of course, the experimental subjects here are just a joke.
He was also the first Vastva to come to the Infinite Sea without wearing protective gear.
After all, his adaptability is already infinitely close to the magical strength of the Boundless Ocean, and he is also the first person to be inspired by the treasure and touch it.
However, he still looked a little allergic, but these allergies were very minor, just making his throat a little itchy and causing coughing.
He had been out there for at least a dozen hours.
"How do you feel now?"
Hearing Alka's words, Waku nodded weakly: "It's much better than when we first came out."
"Come out again tomorrow and try to adapt. Once you are almost done, you can start meditating."
Waku nodded. He was quite looking forward to this matter.
They had only seen in history books the ability to manipulate magic freely.
After seeing that it was almost done, he let Waku return to the space.
As it got dark, Alka also sank into a dream.
Alka, who appeared in his dream bubble, did not leave his dream bubble, but leaned against the towering crystal pillar in the dream and stayed there quietly.
The gold and silver energy in this transparent crystal column had already been filled up, and it was basically becoming the sun of the dream world.
It is surrounded by a lush forest with various plants growing in it and various small animals running around.
Alka's dream showed a vitality different from everyone else's dreams.
Only his dreams would have such things.
Suddenly I felt the fluctuation of my dream bubble, someone came in.
The only ones who could enter his dream bubble were Xia Deiti and Lucilia.
This movement should be Lucelia.
As expected, Lucilia, who had normal body proportions, floated down. Only in dreams could she make her body reach normal human proportions.
In the outside world it can only be achieved by the soul.
Perhaps due to the changes in her body in the outside world, in the dream, Lucilia's once emerald green hairstyle turned into a gradient of blood red in the emerald green.
She was wearing an ordinary light green dress and flew down barefoot.
Looking at Lucilia floating down, Alka stood up with a smile, stretched out his arms and caught her in his arms like a princess.
"Why did you want to come into my dream today?"
Alka asked with a smile while looking at Lucelia in his arms.
Lucilia looked at him and turned her head away: "Huh, I miss these little animals."
"Yeah?"
Alka asked with a smile, and without letting her answer, he just held her and sat on the grass.
Waved.
The small animals wandering around gathered around.
The most common sights were elks.
The fur of these elks is snow-white and their antlers are like jade.
Obviously not a normal creature.
The animals gathered around the two men, played around them, and even jumped on them.
Under the shining of the crystal pillars behind, which look like the sun, it seems so peaceful and tranquil.
Lucilia leaned in Alka's arms, resting her head under his chin and playing with the little squirrel on her body.
Alka put his hands through Lucelia's abdomen and hugged her. He moved his head slightly and put it close to Lucelia's ear.
Gently sniff the unique fragrant and fresh scent of Lucelia.
Looking at Lucelia's somewhat pointy ears.
Suddenly rubbed it.
"Hey, what are you doing? My hair is messed up."
"What does it matter?"
Suddenly thinking of something, Alka whispered something in Lucilia's ear.
Lucilia blushed slightly and shook her head in dissatisfaction: "No, I don't want to wear that."
"Wear it. I want to see it."
At Alka's request, Lucilia blushed and nodded helplessly.
"Oh well."
He stood up and then turned around as he thought of something.
"You are not allowed to look at it."
"I didn't see it. I blocked my own vision."
Alka stared at Lucelia without blinking and told lies.
"snort!"
Lucelia said nothing more, turned around on the spot, and changed her clothes.
It became the same kind of clothes that Alka saw when he first entered her dream.
Her hands were wrapped in white transparent gauze, and she was wearing some hollow clothes that perfectly outlined her figure.
Lucelia's temperament is completely different when she wears this dress.
Alka just watched intently.
