When he saw that the sailors had given up resisting, Lin Li was still a little disappointed, and he was also prepared to use his Domain World to protect The Star from the storm. However, Julio's performance made Lin Li's eyes light up. Black-beard was, after all, a fugitive who had dominated the Endless Ocean for many years. He wouldn't give up easily in the storm, and it was no wonder that he could escape from the encirclement of the Gilded Kingdom's fleet.
After the sailors regained their composure under Julio's reprimand, Lin Li finally felt relieved, and watched them maneuver The Star slowly towards the periphery of the storm.
After the sailors' tenacious struggle, coupled with the strong defense and alchemical power system of The Star, The Star finally rushed out of the terrifying storm area. By the time The Star's voyage had stabilized, the sailors looked at the storm area behind them that was gradually getting further and further away, and couldn't help but cheer in unison.
What a joke, that was the Wrath of the Sea God. Since ancient times, no one had ever been able to escape from the Wrath of the Sea God! Apart from the joy of escaping from death, they also felt a strong sense of pride. Of course, they also understood that the reason they were able to escape in the end was that The Star was too powerful, apart from their hard work. If it weren't for The Star, they probably wouldn't have stood a chance in the storm even if they wanted to struggle.
When the sailors first boarded The Star, they actually didn't feel that there was anything special about it apart from being amazed by its massive size. In fact, they even suspected that such a huge iron shell would sink into the sea if it were to sail across the ocean. After all, it wasn't always better to be bigger. Every type of ship on the sea now, be it a warship or a merchant ship, had gradually become the standard after a long period of time. Once the standard was exceeded, there might be all sorts of problems during the voyage.
However, the sailors had now witnessed the power of The Star in the storm, and that made them subconsciously feel a sense of belonging. They all had a premonition that they would be proud to be sailors on The Star in the future.
The surroundings had already calmed down, and the representatives of the various forces of the Breezy Plains had also walked out of the cabin at this moment, all of them wearing expressions of lingering fear. Although they had long heard of how terrifying the storms of the Endless Ocean were, this experience gave them a personal experience.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but feel glad that they had chosen to take The Star. Otherwise, they really didn't know what kind of ship could have survived the terrifying storm.
"Lord, The Star has temporarily deviated from the course due to the storm. However, don't worry, I will determine our location as soon as possible and let The Star return to its original course. " Julio had already handed control of The Star back to the helmsman, and he approached Lin Li to report on the situation of The Star.
Deviating from the sailing route was no less dangerous than encountering a storm. Many ships might have been lucky enough to escape the attack of the storm, but because they had deviated from the course, they were lost in the vast sea. The so-called ghost ships that were spread among the sailors were actually the result of getting lost at sea. In the end, the people on the ships could only die in despair, leaving the wrecked ships drifting on the sea.
The vast and boundless sea was the same everywhere. It was not like the land, which had obvious topographical features. Hence, at this juncture, the experience of a navigator was very important as he had to rely on his rich experience to determine the position and direction of the ship, the distance from the correct course, and so on. Finally, he would get the ship back on the normal course.
In terms of experience in sailing, no one could compare to Julio, who had been wandering in the Endless Ocean for generations. Not to mention ordinary sailors, even the Gilded Kingdom, which had very advanced sailing technology, might not be able to find a navigator who could be compared to Julio.
Although Lin Li had the nautical information of the Gilded Kingdom, his knowledge of sailing was only at the theoretical stage. When it came to the time when it was really necessary, Lin Li might not be able to quickly find what he wanted from the complicated information.
Of course, with Lin Li's insight into the World Laws, he actually did not have to rely on the nautical information to get The Star back on the correct course. However, Lin Li also wanted to see Julio's abilities, so he still left the matter to Julio. Anyway, even if Julio led The Star astray, Lin Li had enough confidence to bring The Star back.
Julio also knew that he had to show enough value in order to get the greatest protection in the Tower of Dusk, given that he was wanted by the Gilded Kingdom. Otherwise, although the Tower of Dusk and the Gilded Kingdom did not have a good relationship, they would not get into an unnecessary conflict over a useless piece of trash.
Hence, after getting Lin Li's approval, Julio really went all out. He combined all the conditions, including the direction of the ocean tide, the direction of the sea breeze, the position of the sun, and even the species of fish in the sea. After several verifications, he finally determined the current location of The Star, as well as the distance from the original course.
The storm known as the Wrath of the Sea God was indeed worthy of being a storm that made all navigators turn pale. Although The Star had safely escaped from the storm, according to Julio's calculations, The Star had already deviated far from the correct course, and was almost in the opposite direction of its original course. If it were an ordinary ship that did not have an experienced sailor like Julio, it would probably be difficult for it to return to the correct course for the rest of its life.
After listening to Julio's report, Lin Li did not have the slightest doubt, and directly delegated the task of commanding The Star to Julio.
Although Julio did not show it on the surface, he was actually overjoyed because it meant that Lin Li had already affirmed his abilities, and that he had a certain value in Lin Li's eyes. Of course, Julio could not accurately judge how valuable he was, and whether it was worth it for the Tower of Dusk to protect him at the risk of offending the Gilded Kingdom. He could only do his best to increase his value.
Under Julio's command, The Star changed its course, and headed in the correct direction. However, after a night of sailing, there was a sudden anomaly the next morning. Besides, the first to sense the anomaly were not the experienced sailors, but the guests from the various forces of the Breezy Plains on The Star.
The mages on The Star could clearly sense that the flow of the magical elements in space had gradually accelerated since midnight, and reached a terrifying level in the morning. It was as if there was a vacuum of magical elements, and the magical elements in space were flowing towards it quickly in a bid to fill the vacuum.
As a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse, Lin Li had actually long sensed the abnormality of the magical elements, which made him very curious. Hence, he did not go to remind Julio in advance, and instead wanted to go to the source of the anomaly to find out what was going on.
As The Star sailed, an island gradually emerged from the horizon, and became larger and clearer in everyone's line of sight. At this moment, even the sailors on The Star could sense the abnormality, and the representatives of the various forces of the Breezy Plains had all come to the deck to look at the island in the distance.
The island was much larger than Cage Island, and was covered with dense forests. It seemed to be a world full of vitality. What really attracted their attention was the dense magical elements that shrouded the island, which were dozens or hundreds of times denser than normal magical elements. The rapid flow of the magical elements in the surrounding space was due to the strong attraction of the island, which seemed to be a huge magnet that continuously attracted the surrounding magical elements.
Although Lin Li was more curious about what was on the island, he would not let The Star get close to it without a clear understanding of the situation. After all, the Endless Ocean was different from land, and even though the Gilded Kingdom had developed on the sea for a long time, they dared not say that they knew every part of the Endless Ocean like the back of their hand. Besides, Lin Li had only read some information.
Hence, for the sake of safety, Lin Li raised his hand to cast a Warlock's Eyes, which flew towards the sky above the island. The Warlock's Eyes was a detection method that mages often used, and it could represent mages to some uncertain areas and transmit the situation there.
At the same time, the mages from the various forces of the Breezy Plains, such as Joseph and Elvan, also cast the Warlock's Eyes one after another. After all, only the caster could see what the Warlock's Eyes could see. Hence, instead of waiting for others to tell them about it, they might as well see it for themselves. Anyway, the Warlock's Eyes was not a difficult magic spell, and even level-15 Magic Shooters could use it effortlessly, let alone the Legendary powerhouses.
However, to everyone's surprise, the Warlock's Eyes that they cast collapsed before they could even reach the island because they could not withstand the impact of the magical elements. Not only was the island rich in magical elements, but it was also continuously absorbing more magical elements from the surrounding space, and even causing the flow of magical elements to form an Elemental Storm. Low-level magic spells like the Warlock's Eyes collapsed easily due to the fact that they did not contain the nomological power.
Lin Li was the only one who had already considered this situation, and used the nomological power to stabilize the Warlock's Eyes that he cast. Hence, the Warlock's Eyes that he cast successfully reached the sky above the island. Through the Warlock's Eyes, Lin Li saw that there was a Magic Tower in the middle of the island that was engraved with very complicated and mysterious mageweaths.
"President Felic, is there anything on that island?" When Claus and the rest saw that Lin Li had a solemn expression after successfully sending the Warlock's Eyes to the island, they couldn't help but be curious. They knew that the young President Felic was a true Sanctuary powerhouse, and they wondered what was on the island that could make a Sanctuary powerhouse behave like that.
At this moment, Lin Li was manipulating the Warlock's Eyes to carefully observe the Magic Tower. However, under the strong interference of the Elemental Storm, even a Sanctuary powerhouse like him could only get a rough view of the mageweaths on the Magic Tower. There were many details that he could not see clearly.
However, through the observation of the Warlock's Eyes, Lin Li had a rough idea. Some of the runes on the Magic Tower were runes that he had seen on the Sky Castle before. If his judgment was right, they were part of the Void Spirit Mageweath that belonged to the Divine Smith level. The reason that he could only say that it was part of it was because the Void Spirit Mageweath on the Sky Castle itself was incomplete. With Lin Li's current ability, repairing the Void Spirit Mageweath was impossible.
Now, Lin Li reckoned that if the Void Spirit Mageweath was really engraved on the Magic Tower in the middle of the island, it would probably be a complete Void Spirit Mageweath.
Besides, that possibility was very high, because the main function of the Void Spirit Mageweath was to gather a large number of magical elements. It could be said that no other mageweath could compare to it in that function. The anomaly on the island was most likely caused by the Void Spirit Mageweath. Hence, the mageweath that could operate normally had to have a complete core.
With Lin Li's ability, it was basically impossible for him to repair a Void Spirit Mageweath that had a missing core. However, if the core of the Void Spirit Mageweath was complete, and there were only some minor flaws, Lin Li was confident that he could restore it to perfection.
Hence, after Lin Li retracted the Warlock's Eyes, he did not immediately answer the questions of the others, and instead immediately ordered The Star to stop. The space was filled with Elemental Storms, and The Star was not an artifact. The sudden stop immediately caused a series of soft explosions to sound from the bottom of the ship. Clearly, there were some problems with the alchemical power system due to the infiltration of the Elemental Storm.
However, Lin Li could not be bothered to think about that now. He immediately turned his head to look at the people beside him, and said, "Everyone, I found a Magic Tower in the middle of that island, which is likely to be a magic relic left behind from some era. The abnormality of the magical elements on this island is caused by a mageweath on the tower. You should have also seen that the mageweath is quite powerful. Hence, I plan to explore the center of the island and take a look at the mageweath on the tower. I wonder if you are interested in going with me. "
