"Leviathan of terror, which gave birth to monsters and serpents,
"The teeth are sharp, the toes and claws are ruthless,
“The body is filled with venom, not blood.
“The ferocious beasts of the continent and the deep sea are bathed in glory and adorned with splendor like gods.
"Unspeakable fear, if you could see Leviathan.
"From its terrifying body came serpents and dragons, hurricanes and the wildest storms,
"And the fear that shook the earth,
“And a hatred so intense that even the gods cannot understand it.
“The world shakes at the slightest disturbance of Leviathan.
"And the gods placed it in the silence of the abyss, where it slept forever."
After the bard Lightning sang his inscription on the ancient stone tablet on the Nameless Island for everyone in dragon language, the rest of the people had a basic impression of this sealed existence.
The four ancient elements are the spiritual activities of ancient evil things. Under normal circumstances, all that can be summoned are their projections.
And even an existence that is infinitely close to talking in dreams is enough to flood the entire world.
“But if it’s an unstable demiplane like Asta, it might just collapse. 』
Lying on top of the trainer's head, Lily raised her concerns, which were probably the reality that was about to happen.
Let everything return to the ancient elements of the original water...
"Isn't there a way to re-strengthen the seal?"
Facing the possibility of major floods, Todak appears very optimistic.
Early detection and early treatment, since the people who happen to be attracted here include paladins and high-level priests, this crisis can be solved in advance.
"You don't understand. The seal is meant to be broken." Chen Zhou didn't have the slightest awareness of a paladin. "Even if you call the ancient legendary mages over again, they won't be able to do anything."
Todak was puzzled: "Why?"
"Because the prerequisite for the seal is to be able to use magic." Dara explained helplessly.
And Asta's magic network is like a candle in the wind. It is a miracle that the seal of the ancient elements did not break through the ground thousands of years ago and let the world be submerged by a great flood.
In other words, the seal cannot be reinforced through magic.
Leviathan breaking out of the seal is a destined future.
Even if a madman comes here to blow up the magic network, the former will break out of the seal and start destroying the world on the same day.
Todak had nothing to say, so he just sent it.
But then he thought about it, couldn't a copy of the Tree of Life stabilize the nearby magic network?
"That's right, as long as the power of the Paradise is extended there, the spell casters from the outer world can come over to help strengthen the seal! 』
Contrary to everyone who sees the light of day, Chen himself is not optimistic.
But no matter what, they have to follow the clues to the Unnamed Island to investigate the ancient elemental seal and deal with the believers of the aquatic race that may exist there...
…
Three days later, the continuous singing led them to the uninhabited island that the poet had visited.
Looking at the past from a distance, the entire island was shrouded in fog, making it completely difficult to see what was inside.
"It's a bit strange. There wasn't this fog when Lightning came back."
"Be careful. My prayers to the Soul Forger have not been answered in the past few days. We can only rely on the existing magic to explore."
According to Dara's speculation, the entire uninhabited island is surrounded by the Death Demon Zone and the Death Zone. This not only protects the place from being disturbed by outsiders, but also prevents priests from obtaining divine magic.
When the magical professionals were unable to obtain supplies, Dara and Chen Du could only save their own power at non-critical moments.
Fortunately, one of them is a war priest and the other is a paladin, so they don't actually need divine magic in normal times.
The island was too big and there might be dangers lurking there. After landing, everyone had to send a few elites to explore the island.
Despite this, there are actually only three people, Chen, Dara and Lightning, and there is also the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chick following the former.
After setting foot on the solid land that they had not seen for a long time, the three of them all looked slightly relieved... All of them were races that did not like the aquatic environment.
"That's pretty much where Lightning saw the stone."
In the mist, the people next to him looked up and noticed the poet's original position.
However, the fog was thick and all they could see was an almost empty beach.
After thinking for a moment, Chen used the "Wind Making Technique" to blow away the nearby fog.
Everything within a radius of more than ten meters was revealed, but was quickly surrounded by fog.
The fog here is indeed not naturally formed.
"Then save your magic power and let the poet lead the way."
After all, Lightning vowed that he still had fresh memories of the environment here.
Under the leadership of the other party, the two did arrive near a stone tablet.
"This is the ancient stone tablet that Lightning saw before."
Everyone looked at the stone tablet carved from jade-white rock with a huge ruby inlaid on the top.
Lily discovered that the inscription on it was in dragon language, and Chen subconsciously wanted to press the gem on it.
But he managed to hold it back.
"This gem exuding a burning breath is a bit strange." Darla tried to touch the gem, but unfortunately she was not tall enough.
"Not only is the breath hot, it's also warm to the touch. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't take it off, the souvenir that lightning took away last time wouldn't have been a stone but this ruby."
"Really? Let Lily try it! 』
Excited by the gem, the young dragon flapped its butterfly-like wings and flew to the top of the stone monument, trying to pluck the gem from it.
Despite her small size, her strength far exceeds that of ordinary people (21).
However, the gem was set too firmly, and Lily, who couldn't bear to damage the gem, had to give up temporarily.
She planned to carry the gems and the stone tablet directly to the ship when she returned.
"Are you the kind of people/dragons who subconsciously press a button when they see it in a maze?"
"Ahem, let's talk about it when we get back." Chen vaguely felt that he should be able to move the stone tablet through the "Giant Transformation Technique".
Seeing that the others no longer paid attention to the gems, Lightning suggested: "Let's go to the temple gate first?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, Dara signaled the other party to be silent and pointed to the ground.
At the prompt of the dwarf, they saw chaotic footprints on the ground that did not belong to them.
These do not look like the traces left by the spotted cat people. It is possible that other people arrived here after the other party left.
However, neither the three of them nor Crouching Dragon Phoenix are professional rangers or investigators, and it was impossible to tell for a while whether these footprints came from the aquatic race that worshiped Leviathan, or from another group of unlucky people who were lured here by the song of mystery.
"I have an idea. Let's use "Knowledge of Legends" to look back at the past here. "
Upon seeing this, Chen Zhou decided to use the poet's spell to obtain information: "But the "Legend Master" requires a long time of casting. In order to avoid being pierced by the Red King during the incident, you need to be nearby to protect me. "
In this way, Melancholy Blues can go back in time and let Chen know about the past of this monument and this island.
