After paying a high fee to board a large sailing ship sailing to the Naples Islands on the west coast of the Federation, the girl's journey of pursuit officially began.
There are a lot of dangers in the journey. On the evening of the third day after entering the depths of the endless sea, when the ship passed the dark cape, a rare and huge tropical storm swept across the night sky. Update without error@
As the ship struggled forward in the stormy waves, at the most violent moment of the storm, some unknown and terrifying existence emerged from the deep sea and swam beneath the ship.
At that time, the crew members, including the sixth-order guardian, were so frightened that their legs were weak, and they had even begun to prepare suicide notes in drift bottles for themselves.
Fortunately, the unknown entity in the sea below did not do anything to the ship. It simply swam with the ship for a while, and then dived into the deep sea again.
Listening to the girl's narration, Anvis seemed to see the huge waves like dark mountain peaks, the huge sea monster casting a deep shadow on the sea that was longer than the ship, and the looks of fear and despair on the faces of the crew and passengers.
And the moment when the wind and rain were about to end, and the twin spiers of the Temple of Glory emitted a warm orange light in the distance on the horizon, it felt indescribable and touching.
"At that time, after arriving at the Naples Islands, I joined a small expedition team fishing for tuna on the main island, preparing to go deep into the Sunless Sea on the northwest side of the archipelago to find the whereabouts of the city of origin [Ayina] .”
Gently hugging his knees, Claire leaned against a gray-white rock with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.
“According to my investigation, Ayina was actually originally founded on the continent of Yar.
However, due to an unknown incident that occurred later, the entire city of Ayina, together with part of the continent, split from the main continent of Yar and fell into the depths of the Sunless Sea.
I separated from them halfway and went deep into the Sunless Sea alone. Following the information on the ruins chart in my memory, I arrived at the Sea of Oblivion marked on the map.
There, in the fog of sinking that appears every six months, the ghost current phenomenon will appear.
It was a strange current that gathered a large number of dead souls of marine creatures. The gray-white soul light was like the Styx flowing through the human world.
If a living person touches it, it will be quickly eroded by it and eventually become part of the soul of the ocean current. "
"Following the guidance of the ghost current, I drove out of the foggy area, and then went deep into a terrifying hurricane zone.
The sky there is covered with thick dark red thunderstorm clouds that almost reach the top of the head. Waterspouts connecting the sky and the earth and unstable areas of twisted space can be seen everywhere. Only a small area through which the ghost current flows is relatively calm.
As my boat continued to follow the gray-white ocean current deeper inward, some strange jet-black basalt columns gradually appeared in the sea ahead of me. As time went on, the pillars grew taller and taller.
Until the end, a large number of huge basalt columns protruding hundreds of meters above the sea intersected to form an arch-like structure. Through the huge arch, I finally saw the lost continent.
The sky there is always shrouded in dim fog, the beach is an endless black desert, the air is extremely cold, and no life can be seen, just like the legendary underworld. "
Having said this, Claire suddenly tilted his head and tapped his forehead with his green-white fingers.
"Well... Speaking of which, in that forgotten land, I also saw many weird ancient civilization relics left by non-human species. I remember that you were looking for clues about powerful ancient existences. If you can go there to investigate, you should Will it be rewarding?"
"Indeed, I should go there to explore once in the future."
Listening to Claire's words, Avis nodded generously. Even if he doesn't know about these ruins, for the sake of the inheritance of the civilization of the stars, he will definitely go there in the future.
As the two of them talked, the flock of demon-feathered ravens on the horizon was getting closer and closer. Even though Demon Feather Raven's vision was average during the day, it was still enough to see the two people on the ground.
"Quack——"
Accompanied by a shrill and hoarse cry, the few ravens flying in the front swooped down without hesitation, preparing to attack the two of them. The crowd of crows behind them were also ready to attack.
However, they are not close yet.
When they reached the attack distance, an astonishingly huge magic wave suddenly erupted from a small dot-like figure below!
"Quack! Quack, quack! Quack—"
Feeling this sense of oppression, as if they were facing a fatal natural disaster, the Demon Feather Ravens, who had been menacing before, suddenly panicked. Screaming, it flapped its wings desperately and turned, scattering a large number of black feathers in the panic.
As the crows fled in panic, a ring that lit up on Anvis' finger dimmed again.
"Your style still hasn't changed, Avis."
Looking at this scene, Claire couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. No matter when, she felt helpless and admired Avis's fighting method that relied purely on equipment to crush him.
After all, all battles can be defeated by equipment, which is also a manifestation of hard power.
"There is no way. Unlike you, the senior who can explore the lost continent by yourself, I am still very weak, and I don't like meaningless battles. I only have a little more gold coins at home."
Anvis spread his hands and lay comfortably next to the girl.
"By the way, Senior Sister Claire, as a reward for helping me find those ruins information, please give me a list of what equipment, funds and other support you need."
"No, there is no need for payment. We are companions, and this level of mutual help is what we should."
Claire shook her head and spoke softly.
"Is it really possible? Such "simple" equipment?"
Hearing this, Anvis turned his head and looked at Claire slightly. The subtle meaning in her gaze made the half-elf girl purse her lips immediately, and veins appeared faintly on her forehead.
What is simplicity? !
"...Anvis, has anyone ever said that you are annoying?"
"No, they only said I was charming!"
"..."
After looking at each other wordlessly for a moment, the two laughed again.
"Giggle, Anvis, you are still so narcissistic..."
With a smile in his blue eyes, Claire shook her head helplessly and her tone became serious again.
"However, I do have one thing that I would like your help with."
"What's the matter? As long as I can do it, of course it's no problem!"
Hearing the girl's tone, Anvis also became slightly serious.
"Anvis, actually, I hope to use your power to help me find the "key" to the City of Origin."
Claire explained.
“During this journey, although I arrived at the lost continent, I was not able to truly enter the city of origin.
Following the clues in my memory, I managed to cross the cold, vast, dead black desert, and found the entrance to the City of Origin in the huge mountains at the end of the desert that seemed like the edge of the world. First update@
However, I can't get through there without the "key". "
"Key? Is this it?"
After listening to Claire's description, Avis thought for a while, took out the restored astral stone disk from the ring and handed it to the girl.
"Its power seems a bit familiar to me. It should be related to the star civilization, but I don't think it is the key to that door."
After taking the stone plate, Claire examined it carefully and then shook his head.
"The power of that door is very special. It is a strange power essence like an endless and vast world. Once you have come into contact with it, you will never admit it."
As she spoke, the girl gently held Anvis's hand and synchronized her perceptions at the time. .
