After exchanging names, the two of them chatted briefly for a while.
Most of the time, it was Elvin who spoke while Moonlight Stone listened, as if she was listening to a subordinate report. She would only reply occasionally.
However, all of their topics avoided minefields that might involve each other's core secrets.
The most constructive result was that after recognizing each other's strength, the two of them had successfully established a temporary alliance.
After all, their beacon anchorages had been solidified by an internal mysterious connection. Neither of them would be able to escape in the future. As rational adepts, they would obviously make the best choice.
"Miss Moonlight Stone, please take care of me in the future!"
"Of course!"
Well, other than the way she spoke without any sense of politeness, everything else was fine.
Of course, neither of them had delved into the reason why they were still so close to each other despite all the changes in the world. A mysterious connection of this level would definitely involve each other's core secrets.
Asking an adept such a question was a hundred times worse than asking a stranger's age, weight, and measurements. Not only would they hold a grudge, but it was also very likely that they would turn against each other.
Apart from that, it was even more impossible for them to test each other's identity and location in the material world.
However, Elvin suggested that the two of them try to enter the Spiritualist World from their dreams at a fixed time every day.
Furthermore, he had chosen the place where Shilius's Treasure Fleet set sail — Port Dios, the New World, at 9: 00 p.m., which was also 10: 00 p.m., Port Hatrapha, where he was located, as the time of arrival.
Moonlight Stone thought about it and did not raise any objections.
This also allowed Elvin to keenly grasp a key piece of information. In terms of longitude, the two of them might not be too far apart.
The entire Black Sea spanned almost seven time zones from west to east. Even if the mainland's coastline was winding, the Old Continent's time was at least six hours faster than the New Continent's.
Of course, entering the Spiritualist World at the beginning of the dream was the most suitable time. The average person would normally fall asleep between eight and twelve. Based on this, it was very likely that Moonlight Stone's time zone was near him!
She might even be on the east coast of the New Continent.
However, Elvin had no plans to meet his' netizen 'offline for the time being. Although he had discovered this important piece of information, he did not pry into her secrets.
Time in the Spirit Realm was precious. After chatting for a while, the two of them bade each other farewell and continued their exploration and training in the Spirit Realm.
They could help each other in the face of external enemies, but they couldn't count on anyone else for cultivation in the Spiritual Realm!
Tap … tap … tap …
On the way back to the upper level of the city, the main body was thinking about the warning that Miss Moonlight Stone had given him based on today's encounter.
"If you encounter creatures like octopuses in the future, if you offend them or become their target, don't leave a single one of them alive if you can deal with them. If you can't, run away immediately.
Rather than calling them human Extraordinaires from the material world, it would be more appropriate to call them strange creatures from the spirit world … "
[Strange Dream Cultists] was the name of those octopuses.
In the material world, they may only act a little strange, but their appearance is the same as most people, normal humans.
However, when the essence of their souls was exposed in the Spirit Realm, they would all turn into ugly octopus monsters.
This was because they believed in the mysterious "Source of Nightmares", "Dream Eater", and "Misty Octopus" Hypnos, who constantly traveled between dreams and the spirit world. He was a grayish-white giant octopus with a thousand tentacles and a thousand eyes.
Before he appeared, there would be a drowsy flute sound. Even if they were already in a dream, they would still fall asleep and fall into a deeper dream.
According to the research of the occult scholars and the sorcerers of the related paths, this being might be the remnant of the power of an ancient god in ancient times. He had a life essence that was almost beyond the level of a demigod.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was already an important part of the spirit world and the dream world. Like the stars and clouds in the material world, he was a natural phenomenon that couldn't be separated.
Also, he didn't have a clear and independent mind and personality. Instead, he was controlled by the collective consciousness of all the devoured people.
However, he would instinctively spread specific mystical knowledge to his worshippers, as well as … corruption on the spiritual level!
As his power increased, the corruption would intensify. When the believers reached Transcendent Rank-2 and completely turned into octopuses, it meant that the first stage of corruption was completed.
While such a form gave the believers the ability to move freely in the spirit world, half of their life essence had been assimilated into the creatures of the spirit world.
Although they could still go back and forth between the material world and the spirit world for the time being, in six to eight years, their human bodies would mutate and decay, and their souls would be completely released.
Their souls would enter the spirit world and become complete creatures of the spirit world. Before their consciousness died, they would serve the octopus god in the dream forever!
Obviously, there was no detailed record of this in the Flesh and Blood Ritual. There was only the isolated name of "Source of Nightmares".
After three to four hundred years, the knowledge of the spirit world recorded in the secret scroll could still be referenced in the basics, such as the rules of the spirit world and the common sense of survival. However, the description of the creatures and forces living in the spirit world was too outdated.
According to the time flow 36 times faster, three to four hundred years in the outside world meant that at least ten thousand years had passed in the spirit world.
Although the school of prophecy had a continuous inheritance and Milan was willing to share it with him for free, it was obviously not as effective as Miss Moonlight Stone's theory in the material world outside.
In any case, Elvin felt that he had benefited from this alliance.
.....
The next day, Elvin, who had left the spirit world, woke up early.
He was ready to practice his newly obtained complete version of Rapid Thunder Swordsmanship in the material world!
Moreover, his herald, Owl Besmir, had informed him of good news early in the morning.
Since the pirate crew recruitment order was issued, there was finally the first official Knight who came to join him.
However …
Before he could complete the practice of the new swordsmanship in the single-person training field he had set up in Port Hatrapha, his attention was attracted by a commotion on the field.
Bam! Bam! Bam! …
The sound of wooden swords colliding with each other was as intense as rain hitting banana leaves. On the field, two people had turned into afterimages as they fought.
Strong winds stirred and dust flew. It was obvious that it was a duel between official Knights.
Many members of the pirate crew who had woken up early to train on the island watched from afar, not daring to get close to the battle.
The high-speed dodging movements of the two were too much for the onlookers to take in, but in front of Elvin, everything was clear. Seeing who the two people in the battle were, Elvin raised his eyebrows slightly and muttered to himself with great interest, "It's like meeting a stranger in a foreign land.
"It's really meeting an old friend in a foreign land. I didn't expect this fellow to still be alive in such a terrible and desperate situation.
After a year, he even came to the New World to join my Dragon Rider Pirate Crew? Fate? "
Of the two people in the battle, one was Baldwin who had just completed the transformation of the "Man in Skin" yesterday. At this time, he had already shown his half-human, half-shark form.
He was two meters tall, and his naked upper body had bluish-black muscles that were as hard as granite. His back was slightly bent, and a shark dorsal fin and a long spike protruded out.
Fine shield scales appeared on his face that looked like a mask. It had also elongated to a certain extent. When he opened his mouth, the corners of his mouth had already stretched to the back of his ears. Layers of white sharp teeth were no different from a real shark.
Obviously, after becoming the Man in Skin, he had undergone a fundamental change from his previous form of only wearing a layer of shark skin.
Because he had inherited 70% of the Demonic Horned Shark's strength, his strength had leaped close to the Senior level! He had already surpassed the genius Flake who had been struggling to catch up.
Even if it was extremely difficult for his strength to increase in the future, it didn't hinder his current strength.
And the one fighting with him was an old pirate who had blond curly hair and a face of vicissitudes of life. He was already about fifty years old.
Obviously, he was the first official Knight that Besmir had mentioned who came to join him!
However, to Elvin, he wasn't a complete stranger who didn't know his background. Therefore, he let out the previous exclamation.
"Previously, in the Navy's New Star Project, the former captain of the Devil Monkey pirate ship who was overthrown by his own crew — Alec."
Although the two hadn't officially met before, when Elvin had just obtained the Storm Horn, he had personally ordered the pirate ship Devil Monkey, which had betrayed him, to be violently sunk.
At that time, Elvin had only casually glanced at the guy who was abandoned and seriously injured by the crew and was lying on the beach of an isolated island through the seabird's reconnaissance network.
Coupled with the iconic monkey that was squeaking at the edge of the drill ground, it wasn't difficult to confirm his identity (Chapter 229).
But now that he appeared here alive and kicking, Elvin couldn't help but feel a little curious.
Compared to Baldwin, the old pirate Alec was obviously a normal Extraordinary Knight. Although his level wasn't high and his physical fitness was slightly inferior.
But with his rich experience and Mastery level of Ceci's Curved Sword Technique, he was able to tie with the strong Baldwin.
However, the old pirate, who had just arrived and obviously wanted to show his strength, wasn't willing to just tie.
When Elvin arrived, the battle between the two changed again.
Bang —
After the blades clashed, he used the force to leap back.
From Elvin's angle, he could clearly see that he opened his left hand towards Baldwin, revealing a pocket-sized human face in his palm. It was as handsome as white marble to the point of being a little demonic.
"That's …!"
Elvin's eyes narrowed slightly.
The old pirate, Alik, shouted, "Let's go!"
"Sparrow, Quicksand Attack!"
The human face in his palm suddenly opened its eyes, revealing two eyes with black pentagrams.
First, it opened its mouth and complained in a young man's voice, "Old man, you only think of me when you fight. You promised me that you would let me eat meat and drink every day!"
But while complaining, the human face's reaction speed wasn't slow at all.
Syrt —
The spell was cast, like the dry and silent echo in the desert.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Yellow sand suddenly sprang up from the drill ground under his feet, constantly twisting and elongating like seven or eight pythons pouncing towards Baldwin on the opposite side.
But Baldwin, who had completed the Extraordinary transformation, was no longer the original him at this time.
Teng —
He jumped back in a flash, his big mouth full of sharp teeth opened, and the special structure in his mouth suddenly shot out a snow-white high-speed water line.
Psst —!
[Spell-like Spell — White Wave Shock Wave!]
This was the ability inherited from the Demonized Horned Shark. It easily cut the sand snake in half, and after being wet, the sand instantly lost its agility and collapsed into a ball.
At this time, Baldwin, who had also participated in the fierce battle on the Skeleton Tomb, realized what he had just faced.
Although he had never seen the old pirate Alec, he recognized the face in his hand. It was clearly the sewn limb that was originally on Pirate Basam's chest! It was also the culprit that almost wiped out the Roaring Conch!
"Is he here for revenge?!"
Baldwin's expression changed drastically, and he had already issued an order to the surrounding pirates.
"Men, take him down!"
