After walking out of the dock, they were greeted by an underground base full of an industrial atmosphere.
The rock walls made of earth and stone were covered with steel bars, iron pipes, and other building materials. It looked messy, but it was organically integrated. It was obviously a man-made building, but it revealed an extraordinary sense of nature, as if it had undergone strict visual calculations.
The girl named Ziyuan led Chaldea and the others out of the dock and strolled into the base.
"Miss Ziyuan, did you just say that you're from Atlas Academy?"
Sherlock Holmes asked the man as they walked.
"Aren't you a magician from Biao Ming Sea?"
Although Atlas Academy was also one of the three major organizations in the magic world, its headquarters were hidden in a mountain range in Egypt, where a large number of outstanding alchemists gathered. It was said that it was a living hell where even light could not escape. Once a magician went in, he would not be able to come out for the rest of his life.
Although Atlas Academy was also one of the three major organizations, it was the same as Biao Ming Sea and basically did not appear in the eyes of the outside world.
Ziyuan had just claimed that she was from Atlas Academy, but she had appeared inside Biao Ming Sea. Two unrelated organizations that followed the same principle of concealment were connected just like that, and it was quite abrupt.
"I know you have a lot of questions, but it doesn't matter. I'll answer them as we walk!"
Ziyuan pushed the glasses on her face, put on an intellectual posture, and cleared her throat.
"Your real name is Holmes, right? I heard that you once touched the three-pointed Hermes of Atlas Academy when you were at the sixth singularity, so you should be able to understand how powerful that machine is! "
The three-pointed Hermes.
It was a simulated spirit particle calculation machine owned by the Astras Academy. It was the largest and most powerful recording device on Earth. Not only did it record the Astras Academy's alchemy heritage, it also recorded countless information on this planet.
It was said that as long as one used the three-pointed Hermes to input a question, as long as it was limited to this planet, there was no answer that could not be obtained. Even if it was the future of the planet or the end of mankind, the answer could be given one by one.
In essence, it was a device that recorded all information and deduced it. Although it did not reach the level of interfering with parallel worlds like the Mooncell, which was also a recording device, it had an omniscience that humans could not imagine.
It was said that Holmes had entered the former Atlas Academy when he was at the Sixth Singularity, where he had his first meeting with Tachika Fujimaru. He had used the three-pointed Hermes until it ran out of battery.
"That's right."
Holmes looked calm, and he did not doubt that Ziyuan knew about this. The three-pointed Hermes knew almost everything, so it was not surprising that she knew that he had used it at the singularity.
"That's easy to say."
Zi Yuan immediately began to narrate proudly.
"In fact, long before the arrival of 2018, our three-tipped Hermes of the Atlas Academy had already predicted the occurrence of the Truth Remaking Phenomenon!"
In other words, the people of the Atlas Academy already knew that this year's human population would be bleached, and that there would be an invasion from the Anomaly Belt?
"After knowing about this, I asked my father … the dean for help, but the dean refused."
Ziyuan pursed her lips, as if she had a problem with the so-called dean.
"Ziyuan, since you were the one who discovered the end of the world, of course, you should be responsible for solving it yourself. That's what he told me. So, I rushed to the Mythical Sea overnight and had a meeting with the magicians here."
It seemed very illogical, but this was the behavior of magicians.
Most people, when knowing that the end of the world was coming, would definitely try their best to gather the forces around them to face the arrival of the end of the world together, but magicians would not.
The nature of magicians, to put it bluntly, was that they were cold-blooded beasts. They only cared about their own hunting grounds, and they would never care about what the world would become.
Among the people present, even Tachika Fujimaru, who had the least affinity with magic, had seen the cold-blooded nature of magicians. She could only feel speechless.
"After coming to the Mythical Sea, none of the magicians here were willing to help solve the human population problem."
Ziyuan spread out her hands and sighed helplessly.
"But the situation here is different. Every magician here is studying the mysteries of Kanzaki. It is not an exaggeration to say that the magicians of the Mythical Sea are witnessing the end of the world every day. For them, the human population problem is just a kind of end of the world, and it is not worth making a fuss about."
So, the Mythical Sea was actually connected to many terrible mysteries that could lead to the end of the world?
This world was really dangerous. It could be destroyed at any time. If the world itself had a consciousness, it would probably be crying non-stop like a little wife who had resigned herself to the fate of being bullied.
"Even so, the magicians of the Mythical Sea still gave me the right to use this place, and asked me to meet up with Chaldea and help Chaldea solve the human population problem!"
That was why she had sent out that communication and was able to control the Mythical Sea, the island of Kanzaki, to bring the Phantom Submarine to the island.
This way, it did make sense.
"By the way, there are Kanzaki level magic workshops everywhere in the Mythical Sea. Each workshop hides the possibility of causing the end of the world. Although the magicians of the Mythical Sea have sealed themselves, it is best not to touch them!"
Zi Yuan finally reminded everyone solemnly.
Oh?
Each workshop hides the possibility of destroying the world?
That is really interesting.
Hearing this, Ryuga was obviously interested in these magic workshops.
However, he had not even solved the human population problem yet. If he caused more trouble, it would only make things more chaotic, and it would not be beneficial for him to complete his mission. For the time being, he would ignore those things.
Once he solved the human population problem, he would go explore these places and release the possibility of destroying the world. Then, he might be able to use this opportunity to continuously obtain Spiritual Base Missions.
Good idea.
Ryuga did not show it on his face, but he thought so in his heart.
In essence, he was also a selfish and cold-blooded person who only cared about the small area around him and did not care about how the world had changed.
"So that's how it is. I finally understand why you were able to come to the Mythical Sea."
After listening to Ziyuan's explanation, Holmes nodded in understanding, but then he asked again.
"But I have other questions. It's obvious that the outside world has long become an endless wilderness. How did you avoid people's suspicion and make up stories? Does it have anything to do with this island of gods in the Imitation Scarlet Sea? "
