Ding — — —!
Along with the sound of the triangular staff, the sunken ships that were blocking the Black Raven's path suddenly burst into flames!
That's right. Flames!
Everyone widened their eyes in astonishment as they stared at the sunken ships floating in the sea. Shortly after, the flames grew bigger and fiercer. Everyone could clearly see that the massive ships in the sea were shrouded in flames as though they weren't in the water at all, but were burning in the air instead!
Wherever the blue flames passed, the sturdy hull of the ship, which was even covered in seaweed and moss, disappeared quietly. A series of blue light particles rose from the surface of the sea like smoke rising from a blazing fire. They intertwined with each other and slowly rose. In an instant, the Black Raven seemed to be immersed in a sea of blue light, giving off an incomparable combination of mystery and beauty.
"Oh, Goddess of Order above …"
Looking at this scene, many sailors knelt on the ground and began praying. Captain Fox also widened his mouth in shock and couldn't utter a single word.
"S-She's so strong …"
Oglan also stared blankly at this scene. She didn't know what to say at all. Unlike the uncultured sailors, as the future star of the Platinum Family, even though Oglan didn't have a good personality, she had met many important figures in the sacred palace and even participated in various prayer activities organized by the sacred palace. However, even those Red Archbishops had never done anything like what Hecate was doing right now. At this moment, Oglan even felt like the young lady in the white robe standing at the bow of the ship was like the Goddess of the Sea. Under her staff, everything would submit to her!
In just a few moments, all the ships heading to the port of the Gulf of Death had been transformed into nothingness. At this moment, Hecate put away its staff and retreated.
"Let's go!"
At this moment, Captain Fox snapped back to his senses and yelled out the order. Even though he was also curious about the strength displayed by Hecate, the most important thing for him now was to find a place to dock and repair the ship!
Shortly after, the Black Raven set sail again and headed for the port in the distance. However, no one noticed that not long after they left this area of the sea, the originally gloomy sea began to change once more. Very soon, the colorful and lifeless' Sea of Illusion 'that everyone had seen before silently appeared once more.
"Huh?"
At this moment, the Nimf suddenly frowned and revealed an uneasy expression.
"What happened?"
Fangzheng asked when he saw the expression on his little angel's face. Upon hearing Fangzheng's question, the Nimf hesitated for a moment before replying.
"Master, the ship behind us … I can't sense it anymore. Something seems to be blocking my senses."
"Oh?"
Hearing Nimf's answer, Fangzheng was stunned for a moment, but then he looked around and calmed down.
"When he disappeared earlier, was he still at a safe distance?"
"Yes."
"Then let's not worry about it for now."
Fangzheng pondered for a moment and finally decided to put this matter aside for the time being. Although he did not know who the other party was, he was certain that they were up to no good. But since the other party didn't take action immediately, Fangzheng wasn't in a hurry. Besides, he wasn't worried that the other party would follow them into this place. Because this was the only route that Hecate cleared out. If the other party wanted to follow them into this place, they would have to take this route. If not, they would be trapped by the sunken ships around them, which wouldn't be a problem at all.
At the same time, on the sea, a gigantic white ship sailed forward. Unlike the tattered Black Raven, this gigantic white ship had three decks and 80 pitch-black, gigantic magic cannons lined up on both sides like the fangs of a wild beast. Not only that, but the ones controlling this ship weren't sailors in tattered clothes who looked like beggars. Instead, they were a group of well-trained soldiers in military uniforms!
Anyone could recognize that this was a magic warship at a glance!
"Reporting, the target has disappeared!"
A man in a white naval uniform stared at the magic radar before him vigilantly. Then, he lifted his head and gazed at the captain and a man in luxurious attire sitting beside him. If Fangzheng were here, he would recognize this man who was sipping on fine wine. He was Ambassador Ruden who blocked the entrance of the alchemy workshop and tried to abduct Nunnally and Culia!
"Disappeared? How did they disappear? "
Upon hearing this news, Ruden knitted his brows. Frankly speaking, he wasn't interested in this mission at all. To Ruden, he didn't think that the two little girls were of any value. However, the sugar daddy behind him didn't seem to think so. After learning that Fangzheng's group was heading out to sea, Ruden received orders from his sugar daddy to personally lead a team out to sea, find an opportunity to intercept Fangzheng's group, and bring them back to the Country of Flames!
For that, the sugar daddy even mobilized a corvette for Ruden to use!
Although Ambassador Luden didn't understand the value of the little girl at all, since his backer had even mobilized the Empire's corvette, it meant that he had to succeed this time, and he couldn't afford to fail.
Unfortunately, Ambassador Ruden didn't manage to find any good opportunities along the way. After all, this was the Nation of the Holy Church's territory. Ships would come and go from time to time. If something were to happen, it would become a diplomatic dispute between the two countries. When that happened, those big shots wouldn't do anything. But, a nobody like him would definitely be thrown out.
Because of that, after finding out the destination of Fangzheng's group, Ambassador Ruden originally planned to tail them and only make his move when they were about to reach the Foggy Sea. After all, the Foggy Sea was a very complicated place. Ships would often sink and go missing. If they were there, he wouldn't have to worry about anything and could directly make his move.
But now …
"Where did they go missing?"
Upon hearing that his target had gone missing, Ambassador Ruden immediately tensed up.
"The Gulf of Souls."
"The Gulf of Souls?"
Ambassador Ruden was surprised to hear the captain's report. But, he soon made up his mind and gestured with his hand.
"Very well, we'll go to the Gulf of Souls too!"
"Milord, are we really going to the Gulf of Souls?"
The captain was hesitant. After all, the Gulf of Souls was an extremely strange place. Generally, ships would avoid that place at all costs.
"... that... let me ask them first."
Hearing the captain's question, Ambassador Ruden began to feel nervous. He knew that if he were to handle this matter, he would definitely have a meteoric rise. But, even if he were to screw it up, he would, at most, lose his official position and return to his country to become an idle person. But, if he were to continue to chase after them, he might even lose his life.
Between his life and his future, Ambassador Ruden knew very well which was more important.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the final say in this matter.
After leaving the captain's cabin, Ambassador Ruden soon arrived before a luxurious cabin at the rear of the warship. After hesitating for a moment, he extended his hand and gently knocked on the door.
"What is it?"
Shortly after, a deep, bone-chilling voice sounded from the other side of the door. Ambassador Ruden couldn't help but shudder as soon as he heard the voice. Of course, he knew that this expert was specially prepared by his sugar daddy to deal with that little girl in the Legendary Stage. In fact, he was the real leader of this operation. However, as he didn't like to show his face in public, that was why he allowed Ambassador Ruden to intimidate him. But now … It was apparent that this matter wasn't up to Ambassador Ruden to decide.
"It's like this, Milord. We just received a report that the target ship has suddenly disappeared. You see …"
"Disappeared? Where did they disappear to? "
"The Gulf of Souls …"
"Oh?"
Hearing Ambassador Ruden's answer, the man raised his voice slightly as though he found it strange. But shortly after, he let out a sneer.
"Then, what are you waiting for?"
"What do you mean …?"
"Follow them. The higher-ups' intentions are clear. If they're alive, they want to see them. If not, do you think I followed you here for a vacation?"
"Y-Yes! I'll pass on your order now! "
Upon hearing this, Ambassador Lu Deng shuddered and hurriedly turned to leave.
It seems like I'm really dead this time!
Even though Ambassador Ruden had expected this, he felt like crying in the face of this outcome.
