Chapter 381 Meeting with the Ocean

The atmosphere in Watch City and its surrounding areas has become more serious and depressing.

Although there are no dark domes covering other towns in St. Steele in the sky above this area, the constantly gathering Saint Steele army and the rapidly expanding number of members of the Black Sun Society still give the residents here a They brought extremely exaggerated pressure.

In addition to them, local residents must also face the black sun that always hangs above their heads and the strange creatures that appear from time to time in the gloomy light.

Yes, as the Black Sun Society continues to erect new mysteries on this land, those strange figures that once only existed in the long ago are gradually reappearing in today's Van En. At this time, people have You know, those dark dogs with long and narrow rat tails and the strange giant bird Asaru that soared in the sky were just the beginning.

In a village next to a certain river, the villagers accidentally saw a huge lizard patrolling the river. Its body was covered with fine dark red scales, and its body was much larger than the boats the villagers usually used.

The villagers discovered that there seemed to be an incomprehensible and terrifying high temperature in the body of this lizard. When it crawled on the river beach, the surrounding mud would be dried and the dry grass would be ignited. When they stepped into the water , a large amount of foam and steam will appear in the river water near the body. If several lizards move in the water at the same time, the entire river will begin to boil.

At the junction of Votel and St. Steele, many Votel soldiers on duty at night discovered strange shadows in the night sky. It was not the kind of giant bird that members of the Black Sun Society would usually ride. .

The soldiers described to their commanders that what they saw was a huge eagle flying from the valley. Its body was several times larger than those large steel chariots. When its wings are fully extended, its size is even comparable to the giant airship over Votel's capital, Bolden.

In front of it, the giant plateau eagle, which has always been regarded as a spiritual totem by plateau residents, pales in comparison.

Almost everyone who saw it with their own eyes thought they had glimpsed the origin and ancestor of all the giant eagles on the plateau in Walter's legend - the giant eagle god who once ruled the plateau with his wings.

Not only in these places, with the continuous expansion and spread of those ancient powers, many strange phenomena that are difficult for ordinary people to understand have also appeared in the Isa River Basin.

The local residents were horrified to discover that at night, there always seemed to be some black humanoid figures accompanied by strange beasts. They would always appear inexplicably and then leave quietly, and all those who encountered them head-on would... They will disappear completely from this world, no matter they are civilians, soldiers or mages, there will be no exception.

In Merlin Lehe, the mages and scholars who once fell into madness due to observing the changes in the black sun and studying sorcery have also developed new symptoms in the past few days.

Although they have never left their ward, they seem to be able to sense something. They always instinctively want to move in the direction of the Kingdom of St. Steele or worship. Anyone who tries to stop them will also suffer from them. Chasing and biting.

In the coastal areas of Merlin-Leho and Saint-Steir, a large number of residents, fishermen and sea animal hunters said that they had seen abnormal rainbow colors on the sea. They said that those colors seemed to have life and The consciousness is the same. When they try to drive the boat closer, they will float away or dissipate at an extremely fast speed. Some people say that they saw many large and exaggerated fish in these strange rainbow currents.

However, compared with other weird phenomena that are obviously dangerous, these weird sea beasts that appear with psychedelic colors have not attacked any people or ships. They behave like other timid and cautious marine creatures, always Try your best to stay away from all terrestrial life.

It is worth mentioning that Merinle, the Legal Committee and representatives from many other countries temporarily passed a resolution. They temporarily banned the fishing and hunting activities of all seaside residents near Merinle and the bay, and ordered everyone not to approach those who were fascinated. Waters occupied by phantom colors.

Only a very, very small number of people knew that this was the prelude to an extremely special meeting.

The appearance of this weird color means that the huge communities hidden in the deep sea have accepted the invitation. Next, representatives of the Van En Magic Society, the Dawn Society and the Sea Tribe will interact with these strange and intelligent people. Special beings make head-on contact.

In order to ensure that this unprecedented meeting can proceed normally, the Legal Committee renovated an extremely special large-scale venue at the pier of Merlinle and the second largest port in the Gulf - half of it is erected on the pier, and the other half is connected to the ocean. Connected, the two areas are isolated from each other by extremely strong alchemical glass and magical rituals, which ensures that both parties involved in the meeting can communicate face-to-face without physical contact.

Time passes little by little in this subtle atmosphere.

Finally, on the seventh day after the marine community accepted the invitation for talks, dazzling and gorgeous colors emerged from the deepest part of the bay. They swept directly across the sea during the day, covering the entire sea area outside the pier. Completely covered, various strange shadows of different sizes gathered under the cover of these colors. They successfully touched the edge of the special venue and entered the interior of the venue through the reserved wide waterway.

At the other end, which was isolated by thick alchemical glass and multiple magic rituals, many representatives wearing solemn formal attires were quietly waiting for the arrival of this important moment in silence.

Members of the Van En Magic Society, headed by Scholar Legere, were staring ahead. Each of them summoned their own mage hands, ready to start recording at any time. Legere himself seemed very excited now. His nose was already red, and now it was even redder. Coupled with his extremely solemn face, it looked quite funny.

Next to them, Meyer, as the representative of the Dawn Society, was sitting upright in his seat. Next to him were two relatively young members of the Sword of the Dawn. Compared with Meyer himself, they seemed They were much more nervous, and their eyes would always scan the huge glass in front of them involuntarily. Although they knew that this transparent barrier, which had been processed by many mages, was even enough to withstand powerful shelling, they still felt unsafe.

"Ah...I guess you two can't swim like Daswell?"

Meyer was always able to accurately grasp the emotional points of the young people next to him, so he smiled and said: "It was supposed to be Daswell, but just for this reason, it was replaced by me, haha... I used to When I was still in St. Steele, I had to go swimming even in the winter, but I guess it’s not possible now.”

Faced with such a joke, the two young Sword of Dawn members had sullen faces. They really couldn't laugh.

Even more unlucky were the two Sea Tribe representatives on the other side of the venue.

The previous meeting in Merlin Lehe and this special journey had an extremely serious impact on their cognition and thinking. For these Sea Tribe residents who had always adhered to the philosophy of escaping from the world in the past, the world today is really... It was too weird and cruel. As the "elites" who were selected to represent their tribesmen in the meeting, they had to take the initiative to take on more responsibilities.

As the ethnic group closest to the ocean today, they are now under unprecedented pressure.

Through the research conducted by the Van En Magic Society during this period, the two representatives of the Sea Tribe have learned that what is about to appear in front of them is most likely a special existence that once completely dominated the boundless ocean in a long time ago.

The two sea tribesmen stared intently at the transparent barrier in front of them. Under the illumination of the crystal lamps installed in advance, the water in the venue looked extremely mysterious - the water should have been clear and transparent, but now , that extremely special color is seeping in bit by bit.

"They're here!"

A mage from the Law Committee walked into the venue and delivered this important notice to everyone.

Before he finished speaking, everyone in the venue saw a vague shadow in the water in front of them.

Within a few seconds, the shadow had already appeared in front of everyone - it was a large group of fish. At first glance, it didn't seem like a big deal, but when they got close to the glass, people discovered that they were actually Above are a group of strange beings transformed by the power of "life".

Under the infusion of huge vitality, these fish have a large number of characteristics that are not their own originally, such as heads of different sizes, exaggerated sharp teeth, or body structures from other marine creatures... Such phenomena are numerous and complex. Stacked on top of them, they form a spectacular and twisted astonishing picture.

As if officially announcing their arrival, the school of fish quickly moved away after sweeping the glass wall, and then, farther away in the water, a huge shadow slowly emerged.

It was an extremely large shark. Unlike other fish affected by the power of the color of life, its body did not undergo exaggerated twists and deformations, but its body size increased significantly, with a huge head and slender body. Its entire body is filled with explosive power, and on its back is riding a humanoid figure covered with scales.

The moment they saw the shark and the human figure, the two representatives of the Sea Tribe couldn't help but tremble. Under the influence of strong emotions, they couldn't help but stand up from their seats - they were surprised to find that the creature was heading towards them. The shadow they approached suddenly overlapped with the image of the "Messenger of the Sea God" in the long-standing legend of the Sea Tribe.

Meyer also stood up, but the reason why he stood up was because the figure in front of him now was strikingly similar to the "humanoid monster" that had left a deep impression on countless people that night when the Dawn Society station was attacked. coincide.

Le Geer and other scholars are also excited.

As pure researchers, they have recently drawn a large number of weird conclusions that even they themselves dare not believe based on existing intelligence and samples. And everything that is happening now is giving them speculations and conjectures. Add the most powerful stroke.

As the "representatives" of the ocean community approached, a faint magical glow appeared on the surface of the ceremonial venue and many secret equipment that had been set up in advance. Among the extremely expensive and precise magic lines, a reassuring magical light began to appear. Flow, part of the magic came to the side of the glass barrier along these patterns, and inspired the special magic buried in it.

At this moment, the voices at both ends of the venue were completely circulated. The weird humanoid riding the giant shark visibly stopped for a moment, but then it returned to normal and continued to drive its mount closer.

Finally, it came to the focus of the light and fully displayed itself in front of everyone.

The slightly protruding eyeballs turned, and the cold and intelligent gaze penetrated the transparent barrier and fell on many participants.

Compared to Le Geer and other scholars, this "messenger" obviously paid more attention to the three of them. It first carefully looked at the two representatives of the Sea Tribe who were in a state of excitement, and then turned its attention to the other ones. Meyer on his side and had a long look with him.

Finally, the scholars couldn't help it anymore, but just when they wanted to speak, the figure covered with scales suddenly raised his arm and pressed his webbed palm against the glass. on the wall.

The psychedelic color of life suddenly appeared behind it. The spread of these strange powers seriously interfered with the operation of the secret ritual inside the venue. Many crystal lamps installed in the water also quickly extinguished under its influence. Not only that, People were also horrified to find that these strange colors actually "flowed" into the interior of the glass wall and rapidly expanded along the original magic lines.

In just a few seconds, it successfully penetrated the barrier, and like a physical tentacle, it snaked towards everyone.

Just when everyone was looking at each other, one of the representatives of the Sea Tribe seemed to be inspired by something invisible.

He suddenly took two steps forward on his own initiative, then quickened his pace, and came to the front of the glass wall in a daze.

As a result, the tentacles of the color of life gently reached forward and gently rested on the body of the representative of the sea tribe. The next moment, the psychedelic color climbed into the eyes of the representative of the sea tribe and filled him. The gaps in those tiny scales on the cheeks.

The Sea Tribe man slowly turned around. He ignored his compatriots and the vigilant scholars and mages, but looked straight at Meyer, who was protected by two members of the Sword of Dawn.

"I remember you...last time, there was that traitor standing next to you. Now, where is he?"
