"Rising fourteen."
"Half full sail."
The Seven Seas Traveler is rising precariously from the sea of clouds.
After two days and nights of sailing under the abyss, they reached the edge of the passage. The element detector detected that the wind elements ahead were decreasing, which meant that the Seven Seas Traveler might be entering the static wind layer.
Although the passage is perpendicular to the wind element layer, they can still turn around or continue downward and hide in the abyss for a while. But Fang Yu thought this was of little significance. They left Oronze and sailed south for four days. Even if their progress in the wind elemental layer was very slow, the two days under the abyss were enough for them to sail away from the hunting range of the Oronze people.
Continuing to stay under the abyss will not make them safer, but will bring danger. The Descendants of Flor and other guilds arriving one after another will make the surface of the sea outside full of fleets and spies searching for them. They can think of entering this abyss to avoid pursuit, and others are not fools.
The people who are chasing them may even go down here to look for their traces. The Oronze people may not be able to find suitable ships and people for a while, but this does not mean that the descendants of Flor cannot also do it. arrive. They can always find a sailboat big enough and sturdy enough, as well as experienced captains and sailors who have also been to the abyss.
Although this abyss seems to be deep, after all, it is surrounded by a small pond enclosed by the Quiet Wind Layer. When the descendants of Flor enter, what awaits them is a turtle in a urn.
Their only chance is to leave Orenze as far away as possible before others react. No matter how large the Descendants of Flor are, it is impossible for the hunting fleet to spread all over the air and sea. In fact, they can't even spread all over Nognis, unless they don't do anything else.
As for the larger scale, the Chosen cannot do it, and the Kingdom of Kaolin-Ithurian cannot do it either. The free Kukai is free enough just because it is big enough.
Therefore, Fang Plover made a decisive decision to let the Seven Seas Traveler pass through the wind element layer again and return to the sea outside Oronze again.
During the two days and nights of sailing, they finally did not encounter the legendary island. It seemed that it might have fallen into a deeper abyss, or even passed through the Quiet Wind Zone.
But it may also fall apart due to its own mass during the falling process, collapse naturally, and disappear.
Fang Plover was only slightly disappointed with this. After all, there were too many legends and stories left on that mysterious island, whether it was the Battle of Byrne or the past of the 'Dawn Star'.
However, this kind of disappointment is more like an expected disappointment. The Kaolin people, the Imperial people, and even the Chosen One must have explored this place in the end. There is not a single word of record in history that is enough to explain a lot of things.
They didn't think that they were the chosen ones and could discover something that others hadn't noticed as soon as they came. That kind of opportunity is not impossible, but it is destined to be very few.
The Seven Seas Traveler is still rising slowly, passing through layers of clouds and fog.
The land is clearly visible on the left. The distance seems very close but is actually very far away. It looks like a towering mountain wall that hangs upside down and penetrates into the clouds, like the back of a giant, looming.
"Determine where we are."
"We are located southeast of Oronze, Captain, the wind is from the southwest, the wind speed is seven knots, the sea conditions are good, the visibility is average, and there is a wall of clouds in front of us."
Sylvide raised her head from the star tracker, walked to the side of the porthole, looked outside, and then replied softly: "The ship is heading east now, and we should be under the entrance of the Great Rift Gorge."
Fang Plover couldn't help but look in that direction. There were several bright light bands hanging on the cloudy and foggy land ridge, almost several kilometers long. They were waterfalls hanging from the edge of the land. Naugness has abundant rainfall and is the richest area of the Kaulin-Ithurian water system.
The rivers increasingly eroded the rocks, forming canyons and rifts. The largest rift was located in the center of Nognis, and it was the one they saw before them - the Wall of the Sea.
The huge and majestic cliffs are cut out like an ax and a chisel, inserted vertically under the clouds, then separated from the middle, separated on both sides, and gradually gathered towards the center, winding and extending to the sky.
The sailboat sailed slowly through the center of the gap, as small as a speck of dust.
Tracing this chasm to the north, there is a long, winding and shining river. It cuts through the jungle from the Red Mountains and the Penan Valley and rushes straight down; the water at its source comes from the sparkling long lake, witnessing the There are snow-covered mountains, glorious white towers on the shore, and the exquisite houses of fairies among the mangrove forests.
Further north, the howling wind blows, melting gurgling streams from the ten thousand-year-old Eldron Glacier, flowing through the snow-covered grassland, following the footsteps of the dwarf explorers chasing the snow monsters, and starting from the pebbles there. During this time, the longest river in Kaulin-Ithurion was born.
Sparkling Milky Way——
Among those memories of the past, he also recalled the beautiful scenery he had seen one by one - the silver snow on the Holy Bow Peak, the joy and tranquility of the Fairy Dwelling, and the sparkling tower standing in the dense forest. The lake and the towns along the coast.
Fang Plover stared at this rift valley, his thoughts couldn't help but be aroused, and he seemed a little silent for a moment.
Until the next moment, the voice of Miss Naturalist coming from the sound tube interrupted his thoughts, "Brother Ed, the detector has detected the wind element reaction, southwest of us."
Fang Yu finally came to his senses. They had actually made plans for the possibility of meeting other people, but they didn't expect it to happen so soon. I don't know if it's because there are already too many descendants of Flor and other guild fleets nearby, or if it's just bad luck.
"Everyone, prepare for battle." Fang Pliong gave the order. He also put on his control gloves and walked out of the captain's room. Sylvide took down her magic gun from the wall and followed closely.
Although the reaction on the wind element detector may not necessarily be the person chasing them, it may also be a passing merchant ship, or a creature from the air and sea, but in the current situation, it is never wrong to take precautions before they happen.
Fang Plover came to the deck, where Baggins, the big cat man and Pasha were already waiting for him. The big cat man finally returned to his former majestic image, with a fiery red mane flying in the wind and wearing a uniform. A piece of thick magical armor, with the sword on the ground - since Luo Hao joined the team, he no longer plays the role of defender in the team, and the weapon has been replaced by a two-handed sword.
Thanks to the improvement of Fang Plover's craftsman level, this sword is already a second-generation product. However, it is foreseeable that there will be no third generation, because Fang Plover has gone further and further as a crystal craftsman, and his skills in other areas have gradually failed to keep up.
"Is he a descendant of Flor?"
"Like," the boatswain replied: "It's a three-masted clipper. This type of merchant ship is rare. It's either a pirate or a ship coming to capture us. Unless we are lucky and happen to meet to irrelevant people.”
The possibility of irrelevant people is very small. Even if they are really irrelevant, the ship coming from this direction should come from Oronze Port. If they are the chosen ones, it is hard to say that they will not covet their points after looking at the community. If they are aboriginals, they will also be affected by the wanted order of the Kingdom of Kaulin-Ithurian.
"Where's the ship?"
"It's driving into the clouds. You should be able to see it later."
The performance of the wind element detector on the Seven Seas Traveler is very poor. When it detects other ships, it often means that the other party may have discovered them. There is little point in escaping. Not to mention that the opponent's speed is faster than theirs, and the detection distance of the detector may be much higher than theirs.
Even if they hide in the cloud wall like last time, the people behind them can notify other fleets to come. When the time comes, they can spread a siege net or encircle it outside the scope of the cloud wall, and it will be difficult for them to break out. .
At this time, Luo Hao, Parker, Box and Ai Xiaoxiao also walked up from the lower deck.
"But our boat is much smaller than the one opposite." Pasha said a little worriedly.
"There are small ways." Baggins replied, "The key is to see the opponent's strength. Generally speaking, the level of you Holy Chosen Ones above Kukai is average, with only occasional exceptions-"
Generally speaking, in the same age group, under the age of thirty, the personal strength of the chosen ones far exceeds that of the aborigines. But above Kukai, it was another scene. Even with the help of the system, it was difficult for the chosen ones to be as good as the experienced sailors in terms of sailing skills.
Therefore, it is not without reason that Baggins looks down on the Chosen One. What's more, he is not an ordinary sailor. He was once one of Ma Wei's deputies. If his strength had not declined due to injury, he would not even be here.
In other words, he may have seen more storms than many of the chosen ones have walked.
The big cat man ticked his paws, squinted his silver eyes and said, "Today's wind may have a slightly different flavor, Ed, but don't worry, victory always belongs to Ms. Malland's side."
"There you are again, Mr. Reed."
"This is no joke, little one."
Fang Yu shook his head.
Only Ai Xiaoxiao asked curiously, what did the wind indicate today?
Parker was shouting that the Lion Paladin was just bragging. Luo Hao looked at the three-masted sailing ship emerging from the clouds in the distance, turned around and asked him, what were he going to do?
The wind on the open sea gently rolled the clouds. Fang Plover looked at the cloud wall that was forming in the north. After being silent for a while, he made a decision, "Sail behind the cloud island in front first."
Regardless of what happened to Ms. Marland, he decided to fight.
The other party regards them as points rewards for walking, but he has to let these people know that they have to pay a price if they want to get these points. Today's Seven Seas Brigade is no longer the adventure team of the past that had no ability to resist among the big guilds.
They also have the ability to fight back.
"Have you decided to teach them a lesson?" Luo Hao asked.
"Let's see how strong they are first." Fang Yu was still cautious.
Guilds and groups that can come to Kukai will never be novices no matter how bad they are.
But everyone knows that this may be the first real battle between the Seven Seas Traveler and even the Seven Seas Brigade against the descendants of Flor and the Alliance.
Fang Yu gently placed his hand on the side of the ship, as if he had seen the dawn star of the past, the night in the elven ruins, and the moment when he made a promise to Miss Scarpe.
Now that promise is gradually becoming a reality. Some memories linger for a long time, but some accounts will always be settled.
The side hatch of the air combat deck below had opened a gap, and the silver clockwork fairy was flying out of it. Under his gaze, it flew away into the distance in an instant until it turned into a faint silver light.
…………
When the weak source of reaction first appeared on the wind element detector of the Oxin Silver Fire, the people on the ship did not realize that they had hit the jackpot at the first time.
The nearby sea was dotted with sailboats that came to search for those people. Yesterday, they encountered the boats of people descended from Flor twice, and met people from other guilds three times. There was even a boat belonging to the Rainbow Alliance. Subordinate ship.
The 120,000 points should be the vast majority of the balance of all mission points in the alliance in the fourth quarter of this year, and they have been invested in this gray wanted order. It seems that this year the league at least does not have to worry about spending points on surprise attacks before the end of the season, but I don’t know if it will be stretched when there are unexpected tasks later.
This is why the local guild in Nognis is so crazy. According to the current market price, almost 50,000 points can buy a place to the second world.
Of course, a guild with average strength would not rashly train a few selectors to go to the second world, but 120,000 points are really enough to do a lot of things.
For example, it is enough to improve the guild's ranking in the alliance by several places and increase its strength by a large margin.
The captain of the Oxin Silver Fire is Elan Radwell, an aborigine. However, this ship does not belong to him, nor does it belong to any aboriginal force. It belongs to a nearby Chosen Guild. He was only hired to be the captain of this ship. According to the current popular saying, it is called "selling one's life".
Sailboats require experienced professionals to serve as captains. General guilds do not have the ability to train their own chosen captains, so hiring locals with reliable reputations has become a popular choice.
Elan has twelve years of experience sailing on the empty sea, and the experience before becoming a captain is even longer. The Chosen Ones offered him a price he could not refuse to lure him to this ship, so he appeared. it's here.
He estimated that there were at least seven ships with the same purpose as the Oxin Silver Fire in the nearby empty sea, including a large ship descended from Flor. And if the scope is expanded to the entire sea outside Oronze, the number of fleets to be searched will be even greater. The Oronze people alone sent two fleets with a total of twelve ships.
Therefore, when he went out to sea, he actually didn't have much hope of finding those people. The Oxin Silver Fire was a good ship, but the people with the descendants of Flor were even from the Rainbow Alliance he had seen. Compared to the boat, it's a bit too far behind.
In particular, the wind element detector on the ship is very old, which is crucial in the search work. The air and sea are too large, and visual search is basically equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack. But their wind element detector is actually not much further than the visual distance.
So when a selector came to tell him that there was a weak response on the detector, Elan's first reaction was that they had met their counterparts again. In fact, the selector thought so too, but according to Kukai's experience, they had to rule out whether it was a Kukai creature first.
This is very simple. Just like the Seven Seas Traveler, because the wind element detector is too embarrassing, when something is detected on it, it often means that the target is almost visible. Although the detector on the Oxin Silver Fire was slightly better, it was actually about the same. After about ten minutes, Elan and others saw the source of the signal through the telescope.
Then everyone's eyes widened in shock.
"It's them!"
I don't know who shouted first.
There was chaos on the ship almost immediately, but fortunately Elan was experienced and immediately issued an order for the Oxin Silver Fire to sail behind the clouds again immediately.
Although the other party may have seen them, they may not be able to distinguish the shape of their ship at such a long distance. He has heard that the wanted people are just a group of young people. What rich experience can a young person, or a chosen one, have in sailing on the empty sea?
If the other party hesitates even a little bit, it will give them a chance to get closer. And even if the other party is alert enough, hiding behind the clouds can hide their intentions and buy them enough time.
The president of the guild to which the Aoxin Silver Fire belongs almost immediately approached Elan, who even said to him a little excitedly: "Mr. Elan, you are definitely the most outstanding captain we have ever found. We chose you in the first place. Almost certainly a smart move. But can you tell us now what we should do next?”
Elland Radwell was also a little excited, because the other party had already agreed with him that they would not ask for the bounty on the Kaolin royal family's wanted list. As long as those people were caught, the bounty would belong to him.
"The other party's ship is very small, and according to witnesses, it is almost unarmed." He took a breath, forced himself to calm down, and analyzed with a cautious attitude: "They should not be able to outrun us. The only thing they have to guard against is They fled into the cloud wall.”
"Can it be done?"
"It's not a big problem. Our ship is bigger and fully equipped. We can fire cannons to force them to stop, but this requires getting within a certain distance," he said eloquently: "Now let's let the magicians on the ship upgrade. Sora, we are behind the clouds, they can’t see us, but we can’t see them either, we need eyeliners.”
Although the president knew nothing about the naval battle above Kukai, he was not a novice after all. He immediately replied: "I have already sent the magicians into the air earlier, Mr. Captain, but now there is news from the front that... Fang Zheng drives the boat to the back of Yun Island in the north."
"North?"
"Yes, north."
"Then they must have wanted to use the cover of Cloud Island to descend below the clouds, and then enter the cloud wall," Elan said with some excitement: "But they made a mistake." Because of the wind direction, the clouds The wall will retreat to the northeast. They are wasting their time. We can definitely catch up with them! "
The chairman's eyes lit up, "Mr. Captain, you are the most experienced person on this ship, so you have agreed and I will leave it to you. If you want to catch him alive, we will prepare for the battle."
Elan thought for a moment and nodded, but also reminded his collaborators: "I am an expert on Kukai, but you know how to fight better than me. But I heard that those people are not simple. I heard that they Fought a dragon in Doriphon."
"It's just the Shadow of the Dragon, and they were lucky at that time," the president laughed: "Half a year ago, their average level was only around level 20, so we can deal with it casually. Don't worry, as you said, Mr. Captain, this Conveniently we are the experts.”
The Chosen One has been in this world for so many years, and Elan probably understands what it means to be in his early twenties. He knows the general level of other people in this guild, so he nods with confidence.
But apparently neither of them knew that when the Aoxin Silver Fire passed through the clouds, a silver shuttle-shaped flying object was maintaining the same speed above the head of the ship, and was watching silently with its lens pupils. Watch what's happening below.
