In the endless sea, the Little Fairy, with its sails fully spread, cut through the waves in the direction of the rising sun. On the upper deck of the Little Fairy, Crimson, the seventeenth princess of the Galamar Empire, looked at the vast sea ahead, with a trace of worry in her eyes.
"Which sea are we in now? Where are we? Is it too late to rush to the Sea of Dragons now?" She looked around on the deck. She could not see the shadow of the land. She could only see the monotonous sea and sky, which was completely indistinguishable. location.
Although Lufei had promised her to stop the exile ship, she was worried that the distance would be too far and she would not be able to make it in time.
After all, the sea is vast, and sailing on the sea can take several months, and the imperial exile ship will arrive at Dragon Blood Island in less than a week, and Lieyang may be in danger at any time if he stays on that ship.
Hearing Scarlet's question, Luffy smiled while lying under the umbrella.
"Of course it's in time, my princess." Lufei was lying on a dark and shiny antique chair, with a pair of shiny white long legs stretched out from under the parasol, exposed to the energetic and hot morning sun. , as if coated with a layer of gem-like light.
"How far is this place from the Sea of Dragons?"
"At the speed of the Little Fairy, it will take about a month."
"What? It took so long!" Crimson said in a loss of voice,
"Didn't you just say it was too late?" Lufei peeled a red fruit similar to an orange leisurely, and glanced at the anxious Scarlet, or more accurately, stared at her tail.
The crimson tail was waving excitedly behind her.
"It seems that you don't understand the situation on the sea at all."
"I really don't understand, so can you please explain it? Miss Lufei." Crimson said calmly. She noticed that the other party was staring at her tail, so she controlled the restless tail and stopped it from moving.
Lu Fei slowly put a piece of orange into her mouth and then explained slowly: "Have you ever heard of sea rifts?" Scarlet shook her head blankly.
"what is that?"
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. In most cases, it only appears in the sea far away from the land. There are very few offshore areas. As far as I know, there are no cracks in the Sea of Dragons. But in the Sea of Dragons, there are no cracks. The sea area a little further south is actually a bit rough.
"What on earth is that?" Scarlet Hong was still confused.
"You can understand it as a shortcut, enter the rift, pass through the gap in space, and then go out from the rift at the other end to reach another distant sea area. This process only takes a few hours, sometimes even a moment. The cracks were born in strong sea storms. This is a powerful force of nature. The storm tears apart the space, leaving cracks connecting various sea areas." Storms and cracks at sea, for Hong Hong, who has never been to the sea, this is It sounds a little scary.
"The sea rift you mentioned, is it safe? Will there be no accidents?"
"Don't worry, I'm experienced and nothing will go wrong." Lu Fei assured her, patting her chest.
"As long as you go out from the crack closest to the Sea of Dragons, with the speed of the Little Fairy, you can quickly intercept the exile ship." Unless the exile ship encounters a storm, it will definitely head towards the destination in a straight line. Sea of Dragons, it is not difficult to find it, especially for a well-informed pirate leader, it is as simple as drinking and peeing.
"Look, we're almost there." Lufei raised her chin and pointed to the sea ahead. Crimson looked ahead. The sea surface in front seemed to become restless, beating against the hull of the ship. At the end of the sea and sky, a dark area appeared, and there seemed to be electric light flashing in it.
The increasingly strong sea breeze scratched her scales and passed over the horns above her head, making a rapid whistling sound. Looking at the storm area getting closer and closer, she spit out her long and forked pink tongue, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.
Demon King's City, Alchemy Laboratory. The bloody thunder and lightning outside the window flashed away, illuminating Linger's solemn face.
He stood in the center of the array, with dense runes floating around him, each rune emitting a blood-red light.
In front of him was a cauldron inlaid with different gems. Seventeen rare alchemical materials had been added to the pot, including demon blood, pollen from the flower of the soul, heaps of blazing dust, fairy scale powder, and soul crystals. , a large amount of Kernan grass juice... Except for the demon's blood, which was collected from himself, the other materials were all called from the Demon King's treasury.
The liquid in the pot is red and black. The red and black are constantly colliding, but they are gradually merging, and the runes around Ringer are constantly blending into it.
Every time a new material is added or a new rune is incorporated, two liquids of different colors will collide fiercely. Ringer can only carefully maintain the balance and constantly inject his own magic power to make them fuse. This requires strong mental strength and exquisite control.
There were still a few key materials that had not been put in. Beads of sweat were already forming on his forehead, and he felt a little strenuous.
The power of the runes is mixed with the magic contained in the materials themselves, making it quite energy-consuming to control.
The owner of the laboratory stood silently outside the magic circle, staring at Ringer with interest. He is a zombie, but he is dressed elegantly, tall and thin, wearing a black scholar's attire, but with his livid face and pale eyes, he still looks quite scary.
Especially his loose eyeballs, which seemed to fall out of their sockets whenever he lowered his head. His name is Rico, and he is also one of the cadres under the Demon King. It is said that he was an alchemist during his lifetime, and the cause of his death was drinking a new potion he made.
After his death, he retained the knowledge he had gained during his lifetime, so he continued to study alchemy. Because of his superb alchemy, he was appreciated by the previous generation of demon king Reddy and promoted to a cadre.
However, even after becoming a cadre-level existence, he has always kept a low profile and spent most of his time in the laboratory doing alchemy experiments.
He was also present on the day of the underground meeting, but he did not leave any impression on Ringer. On the contrary, it was Ringer's bartending skills that aroused his interest. After Ringer entered the laboratory, he talked about it. After a brief exchange, he seemed to appreciate Ringer very much and generously took out his treasure. Give the pot to Ringer.
There is no shortage of containers in the laboratory, but this pot is obviously different from the containers placed in the laboratory. According to Rico himself, this pot can bring good luck and increase the success rate of alchemy experiments.
And most importantly, it's sturdy and has never broken, no matter how unstable the materials he uses.
The devil in giant disguised form, Sainsti, was also sitting on a chair nearby. She heard that Ringer was going to use the laboratory to develop new wine, so she came with her.
She stared at the cauldron in front of Ringer with interest, licked her lips and said, "Tongue Demon, how long will it take to finish?"
