"Creak … Creak …"
Looking at the defeated soldiers in front of him, "Gulfstream" Petrich almost crushed his white teeth that could easily bite through steel.
When they first set off, there were a total of four enchanted fast adventure ships in the team, carrying more than six hundred official Transcendents. Among them, the number of grade-3 Transcendents was close to a hundred.
However, after the man-made "super storm," one of the adventure ships capsized; two were pushed by huge waves to the red island near the [Ancient Scroll] and ran aground on the reef; the last one was pushed by the strong wind into the depths of the Shattered Star Sea like a wild horse.
After that.
For a normal ship that capsized in the storm and fell into the water, the passengers who were almost certain to die became the real lucky ones.
Relying on the Transcendents' strong tolerance to harsh environments, after Petrich broke free from the "Djinn" and rescued them, the survival rate of this ship of Transcendents was as high as ninety percent, and none of the grade-3 members were fine.
The remaining three ships were not so lucky. The two ships that were stranded were still manageable. After the Tier 4 Sea God's Child fought for half a day, he finally managed to save 60% of the ship's crew from the horde of monsters that had been awakened by them.
As for the last ship, after two days of searching, they still found nothing. It was as if it had completely evaporated in the sea.
How could Petrich, who was on his first mission after joining the "God of Black Wings", not hate this? He wanted to write the word "miserable" seven times on the ground …
Elvin's move was a classic example of "making trouble by moving his mouth and breaking his leg to put out the fire."
Then, there was something that added fuel to the fire.
After the Spiritual Realm in the depths of the Shattered Star Sea was sealed, the communication between the members in the Spiritual Realm became a big problem. Due to the poor signal, they could only use the precious "hyacinth leaves" to transmit messages again.
However, after the signal was sent, the vanguard that was responsible for receiving the main force did not respond at all. This added another layer of haze to the mission that was already unfavorable to begin with.
For the Evil God's minions, the only good news was that the old witch, Barbara, who was swept into the space turbulence, was found again by herself.
She took out a few spare adventurer ships from her Sorcerer's Garden and resettled the 351 survivors so that they could return to their original mission.
One of the Blasphemer believers in the team, a pale, third-stage bishop, approached Petrich for instructions.
"Sir, could something have happened to the vanguard? Should we use divine spells to speed up and try to get to the meeting place on time? "
However …
Petrich thought of the Goddess's warning before he left. Of course, it was more likely to be the warning of the big guy's new boss, the God of Black Wings.
"Never stay in the Lost Clan's territory at midnight on the first of August, unless you want to become a prisoner of time like them."
Therefore, he decisively rejected the bishop's suggestion.
"No, don't bother about those fellows. Just continue moving forward at a normal speed. Our mission is to collect a sufficient number of Vestigial Clan fingernails. Don't do anything superfluous. "
.....
Weng! Weng! Weng!
Above his head were white clouds and below his feet was the blue sea.
With the buzzing sound of electricity, an air fleet formed by three golden "floating battleships" and escorted by twelve single-person aircrafts flew through the air majestically.
Each of the shuttle-shaped wooden and iron "floating battleships" was equipped with seven to eight pairs of metal bat wings of various sizes. Every regular flap of the wings allowed the battleships to move forward by a large margin.
It looked like bionics from birds, but the most crucial device was actually the ten sets of flashing butterfly-shaped electric towers distributed in front and behind the battleships. It was a magical electromagnetic levitation device that was also a product of technology.
Although it looked very high-end, it had not gone through a qualitative transformation and was not a "legendary battleship." It did not have a ship spirit or the miraculous [Legendary Battleship Skill].
However …
Due to the wireless transmission of the "magnetic ohlite," the "floating battleships" and the "single-person aircrafts" never had to worry about energy issues as long as they flew in Jondrik's territory.
If there were no major problems with the mechanical structure, it would not be a problem for them to stay in the sky forever.
However, although the technology of this civilization was advanced and technological creations could be mass-produced, only a small number of people enjoyed the convenience. It was far from being popularized and fully unleashing the productivity of the entire civilization.
Naturally, they also gave up the greatest advantage of being able to replicate technology on a large scale. As a result, the extremely advanced Transcendent technology civilization remained in the backward era of slavery.
"The more I look at this civilization, the weirder it feels."
At this moment, Elvin was flying one of the aircrafts in a leather coat. He flew beside the "floating battleship" and acted as the guard of Arion, the "Son of God".
Logically speaking, no one below Transcendent Rank-3 was qualified to fly in the Shattered Sea of Stars. However, the interior of Jondrilick's territory was obviously much calmer than the outside world. There was no telling if it was because of the blessing of the Sea God, Amphitrite.
It was not a big problem to fly across islands on a single-person aircraft, not to mention a powerful air fleet.
The "magnetic ohlite", the "single-person aircrafts", and the "floating battleship" all made Elvin very envious. However, right now, he was most concerned about another problem.
Jondrik was so weird from head to toe. What kind of existence was it exactly?
He had been suspicious since the beginning. The "Ancient Scroll" clearly showed that the Shattered Star Sea was a place that was like a fog of war. There was no name on the entire archipelago.
However, this place was clearly an advanced civilization that was far more advanced than the human nations outside. It was more "evolved" than humans.
Why did the "Ancient Scroll" not recognize the names of these people? Instead, "Ugor Island" named by Olivia and "Moon Bay Archipelago" named by himself were already shown on the scroll?
Was it discrimination against ancient humans? That should be impossible.
There must be a deeper reason!
Combining the internal structure of the aircrafts that he saw at the "airport" and the integrated circuit that he obtained from the "Clock Tower", Elvin could not help but let his imagination run wild.
Back then, he had guessed that this thing might be a product from before the epoch. Was it an ancient creation that had been preserved like the ancient gods?
After all, he had the "Tree of Life School", which was almost the same age as the Transcendent civilizations of this epoch. Even if the secret scroll, "Flesh and Blood Ritual", did not focus on recording history, it was not difficult to determine the development of the Transcendent civilizations in various eras.
It would be unreasonable to miss out on such a powerful ancient civilization.
Besides.
When Darkety said that the outside world had been submerged by the sea, no one would survive if they went out, it was the same as how the humans in the outside world knew that the sun was round. It was a matter of course that everyone knew.
This argument was obviously contrary to Elvin's understanding.
Instead, it was somewhat similar to when the "God of Labyrinth", Aihort, had been holed up in the "Sea of Mist" until the "child born under the sun" appeared. It was somewhat similar to the scene where he was able to leave the cage.
But …
"We're here."
Suddenly, Darkety, who was flying beside Elvin, exclaimed softly, interrupting his thoughts.
Elvin looked down from the sky. The capital of Auyufomos had appeared in the distance.
The style of the capitals of various countries was very similar. They were usually built by the sea, with two layers of ring-shaped land and three layers of ring-shaped canals. The art-like architecture in the city seemed to make one feel the charm of music.
The inner circle of the ring was the most important temple and royal reservation. It was decorated with gold, silver, ivory, and gold-plated circular roofs. Due to the difference in wind and temperature, it would make a beautiful sound.
And for the Jondrik civilization, three was one of its important characteristics. The lines were repeated three times, the buildings were formed by three groups of similar buildings, and three pyramids formed a group of towers.
The streets on each level of the city were distributed diagonally, from one corner of the sea to the other. There were also many intricate underground corridors, making the actual living space much larger than it looked on the surface.
The only thing that was puzzling was …
This garden-like city as a whole did not look like it was built naturally by the residents as the city expanded. Instead, it looked like it was built according to a certain designer's plan and was completed overnight.
There was a hint of strangeness amidst the wonder.
At this moment, in order to welcome the grand gathering of the ten kings, the gardens all over the city had been nurtured by the priests to produce fresh flowers.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A handsome and fit man dressed in embroidered robes walked up to the deck of the flagship like an ancient hero. Then, the official airship fleet circled around the outskirts of the city for the citizens to admire the heroic appearance of another child of god.
And so, in the process of circling the entire city. While the Evil God's minions flew into a rage, Elven let out a deep sigh of relief.
Because using this open and aboveboard opportunity, he had already sensed the familiar presence he was chasing.
Although [Divination] had no effect on the "Golden Compass" that was related to the Goddess of the Ocean, the mysterious connection between the thirteen adventurer families was real.
Elvin, a high-ranking wizard of the "Tree of Life School," was extremely sensitive to bloodlines. Following the mysterious connection between the adventurer families, he could easily locate the "adventurer's blood" when he was close enough.
"With [World's Favor] protecting me, I'm not too unlucky. Thank you, Daddy World Will!"
