Chapter 56 Counterattack the abyss
The Abyss of Anos, the Black Sea, the core hall of the Ark of the Holy Light Time.
"A sea dragon?"
Accompanied by the soft footsteps, a young man who was a little drunk and curious came from outside the hall door: "Where did you find a dragon knight again?"
Before he finished speaking, the voice's owner walked into the hall. He complained with a slight dissatisfaction: "It's fine if I have it, why do you have to find someone else?"
Joshua turned his head in the direction he heard the words, and his brows couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The owner of the sound outside the door was a boy who looked at at most fourteen or fifteen years old. He had healthy wheat-colored skin, black animal skin armor on the upper body, and shorts specially cut for convenience of movement, revealing two slender and straight legs.
It seemed that because he drank a lot of wine, his face turned a little red. While complaining, he could vaguely see a small tiger tooth. The boy noticed that everyone present turned his eyes to him and suddenly became a little clear-headed. Then, he turned to look at Joshua and greeted the warrior with full vitality: "Hello, newcomer, you were also invited by these Puritans who did not drink alcohol to help...wow!"
Without any mental preparation, he faced Joshua's eyes head-on. The boy was shocked by the sudden pressure for several seconds. After being shocked by the drunkenness, he immediately took two steps back according to his physical instinct and hid outside the hall.
"Captain Robzek..."
When his heartbeat calmed down a little, the boy poked his head out from behind the door. He stared at the warrior cautiously, and said to the silver-haired knight next to him in surprise: "You guys, are you invited a super-conscious dragon lord? The dragon is too powerful..."
It was obvious that he mistakenly thought of the despair on Joshua's body for dragon power, and the black aura was also beside him, so he regarded the warrior as a tremendous dragon that turned into a human form."
Everyone present laughed because of the boy's reaction. The three of them in the church had been with Joshua for a while and adapted to the pressure of the warriors. Although they were still slightly shocked when they met again, they were definitely not just shocked like this boy named Hill.
"No, as long as you are not drunk, you can see that what you see is a real human being.
After laughing, the silver-haired Paladin shook his head and said with a stern look: "Mr. Hill, although it is now a rare windless period in the Abyss of Anos and can relax, we still have to ensure that we are in a perfect state of being able to cope with any crisis. We can drink wine, but we must never get drunk. If you are still so uncontrollable next time, we will have to block the warehouse of supplies for you."
While Robzek was preaching the young man, Joshua looked at the other person with a little interest.
On both sides of the young man's pretty face, the pointed ears that showed the identity of the elf clan were trembling slightly, and the long black hair on his back was tied into a ponytail and put it on his shoulders. This is also the style that the elf in the south often has.
The elves are worthy of being a handsome man and beautiful woman. If the boy scores his appearance, he can get eight points. This is because he is drunk and his clothes are a little disheveled. However, what interested the warriors was the trace of dragon power that was different from the black one on Hill.
"Part-time Dragon Knight's Elf Ranger?"
When Robzek finished speaking, Joshua spoke directly: "Your mount is a thunder-attribute sea stegosaurus, a female dragon. Its strength should be high-level gold, and it should also be a little bloodline of the giant island whale. The one at the bottom of the ship is helping the ark forward should be your mount."
"Savvy...awesome!"
The elf boy couldn't help but yelled in a low voice, but after hearing what the warrior came from behind, he blinked and shook his head with a smile, "But one thing is wrong. I am not a ranger, a gentleman of the Dragon Knight, I am an ocean druid, and Furner is not my mount, but my animal companion."
"Druid?" This time it was Joshua's turn, and the warrior concentrated his mind and carefully looked Hill from beginning to end again: "This is really unexpected."
At this time, he discovered that a little magic runes could be vaguely seen on the waist, abdomen and inside the thighs of the elf boy. It was the totem magic pattern that the druids often had. They could use the power of these magic tattoos to transform wildly or use natural magic techniques.
But generally speaking, few druids cover these magic patterns so tightly. They have always wanted everyone to appreciate the wild tattoos on their bodies.
"So beautiful."
At this time, Hill had already walked to the black face. The elf boy touched Hanlong's neck without seeing him, and then said lightly in a tone that was still drunk: "Such smooth lines and such a graceful body... It seems that you feel a little uncomfortable, but it doesn't matter."
Before he finished speaking, a piece of emerald green light suddenly lit up in front of him. The light threads rotated rapidly in the air and gathered into a light ball. Within the light ball, natural power surged, and fluctuations filled with vitality continued to surge out from it.
The advanced magic technique is a natural blessing. Hill used this extremely practical natural magic technique against Hei in one breath, allowing fresh power fluctuations to directly pour into the body of Half Dragon.
Black: "Ho huh?!"
The moment the wave entered the body, Banlong felt much more energetic.
The black dragon can transform water and fire elements into its own life force. The reason why the flying warships in the sky makes the black with the bloodline of the ancient dragon so uncomfortable is mainly because the fire elements and water elements in the air are too scarce, making it unable to complete the life cycle. And even if there is, most of the power of the elements is seized by the magic energy furnace heart.
Moreover, the teleportation of floating warships is equivalent to the fact that humans have no adaptation process and are directly transmitted to plateaus with thin air, which will naturally be extremely uncomfortable.
If there was no fading, Hei had kept his huge body in the air for a few more days, perhaps his life would be in danger. Even if he had returned to the surface now, there would still be some sequelae, which made the Danlong, who had always been extremely energetic in the past, was a little sick. However, now, after being blessed by the young druid, it became energetic in an instant.
"Mr. Hill, if you are tired, go back to your room to rest."
After seeing the casting of the spell, Hill yawned and stood aside, studying the crystal shield in front of him, reminding softly: "There may be danger in the Abyss of Anos at any time. I hope you can always ensure a good condition."
"Okay." He nodded happily. Hill did not hesitate and immediately turned around and walked out the door. When he walked in front of Joshua, he paused slightly, and then reminded with kindness: "The unknown dragon knight, please take good care of your dragon. It is now in a bottleneck period when breaking through the advanced level of gold. Its state like the previous state will greatly delay its advancement speed."
"Your opinion is very useful." Hearing the other party's reminder, Joshua turned his head to look at the half-dragon who had become energetic, nodded cautiously and said, "You can call me Joshua, thank you."
"It's nothing, after all, I'm also a dragon knight." While walking outside the door, Hill smiled relaxedly: "After all, the high-level golden level is a dividing ridge for dragons, especially a mixed race like you and my partner."
"If you can step over, you can go further. If you can't, you can only stay in your current state. In this way, they will be very sad."
After saying that, he also left the core hall, gradually moving away with the soft footsteps, Hill also left this floor and returned to his room.
"No wonder you are so polite to him."
The elf boy left the hall, and Joshua touched his chin and looked at the black who was full of energy shaking his tail thoughtfully: "If he was strong, he should be only in the silver level. Even if he included the totem magic pattern on his body, he could only protect himself in the gold-level battle. However, this exquisite natural divine technique and knowledge, combined with a high-level golden sea dragon partner, is indeed a very powerful help."
"Young man? Joshua, you should have been with the dwarves in the North for a long time and forgot something."
Hearing Joshua's words, Lorenda couldn't help laughing. He shook his head and waved the wine glass in his hand: "Hill is older than us, just a little younger than Captain Robzek. You should know that the boy of the pure-blooded elves is at least thirty or forty years old. What else can I use if I don't need a sir? Moreover, Hill is a member of the Knights of the Sea Dragons in the Eastern Plain. This time he was just dragged by the church and came thousands of miles to explore the waters of the Abyss for us. We must be more polite."
"Although his strength is a bit poor, he is indeed a top-notch player in exploring sea areas. Moreover, the marine druid can foresee storms and currents. This time the windless period was also budgeted by Hill."
Robzek also nodded and responded: "His sea dragon companion can scare away many marine monsters and save us a lot of time. After all, our purpose is the central vortex, not to hunt down these terrifying creatures infected by chaos."
"Who else did you invite this time?"
Joshua became a little interested in his companions. According to Pope Eagle, they explored the Abyss of Anos four times before inviting themselves to sail together. Of course, these four times failed without exception. Only by being stimulated by this will the Seven Gods Church look for other strong people on the continent and come to explore this chaotic sea together.
"Not many, including you and Hill, there are only three people in total."
Robzek seemed to have guessed that the warrior would ask this question. After looking at Lorenda and Saya, he immediately replied seriously: "I will introduce another person to you if I have time later, but now, we happen to have something to ask you."
Top of the ark.
The Ark Time is completely different from the ship in the usual sense. Its appearance is the same as its name, and it is square and similar to the shape of two trapezoidal shapes. This kind of ship will undoubtedly be greatly affected when sailing, but its powerful magic has allowed it to overcome negative factors.
The powerful imprisonment magic covers the entire hull, allowing it to almost completely ignore the huge waves nearly ten meters high in the Black Sea. The sacred runes containing infinite mystery can even convert the impact of sea water into the driving force for its own actions, making its own speed faster and faster.
However, such powerful abilities naturally have a very high price. The energy consumption of Time is several times that of ordinary magic ships. Even if the Seven Gods Church has a special magic energy furnace heart technology that can reduce consumption, it cannot ignore this level of energy consumption. Therefore, in order to terminate the contract energy as much as possible and use it in key places, the church needs to find another energy source to replace the magic energy furnace heart in daily use.
The huge magic magic array with a diameter of twenty meters flashed with sacred light, just like in the core hall, golden and white crystals were inserted at the nodes of the magic array, flickering in accordance with the flow of the power of the holy light. At the very center of this magic array, a half-man-sized circular gem was floating in the air, slowly rotating, releasing the hot positive energy like the sun.
Although it is daytime, the Abyss of Anos is still covered by haze and the surroundings are as dark as night. However, the light from this gem illuminates the sea within a radius of thousands of meters, making all evil beings unable to escape.
"Cream Star, you actually borrowed this thing!"
Following the steps of the three churches, Joshua couldn't help but sigh at the church's determination after seeing the familiar gem in front of him.
You know, this fusion star is a treasure used by the royal family of the Northern Empire to decorate the Holy Light Hall. It is also a symbol of the empire's victory over the orcs and becoming a symbol of the northern overlord of the mainland. It can be borrowed, and I really don't know what the price it has paid.
Because there was no crisis, not even rain or big waves, the divine magic array was not running fast. Layers of runes, like gears, slowly rotated, guiding the endless positive energy in the melting star to spread around the ark, dispersing a faint trace of chaotic power.
"Last time we explored, we had reached the deepest part of the Abyss of Anos, and were almost approaching the central vortex."
Taking a step forward, Robzek looked at the magic circle in front of him and said to Joshua in a heavy tone: "But in the end, we failed. The overly strong abyss power triggered the dark fog, causing the ark to lose its direction... Due to the exhaustion of resources, we had to escape in a panic and prepare for the next exploration again."
On the side, the great nun also whispered: "The Fusion Star is already one of the most powerful positive energy treasures on the continent of Mycrov, but even it cannot shelter the Ark from moving forward in such a fog. It is not that its power is not strong enough, but that it still has to fight against huge waves and heavy rains. So after thinking for a while, the church followed Loranda's advice and invited you to come."
The last time Joshua was in the imperial capital, he helped the church and the Royal Mage Association expel the fog of the divine Era. For Robzek and Saya who did not understand this aspect, the fog of the divine Era and the black fog deep in the Abyss of Anos are similar.
"So, you invited me here to make me a torch and illuminate the darkness?" Hearing this, Joshua understood, and shrugged and joked: "Is the human body light bulb intended to use the power of order in the Sky Blue Orb to break through the mist of the abyss? Indeed, the power of order can better drive out the power of the abyss than the positive energy of the Fusion Star."
"Of course, it's not just that."
At this time, Loranda's voice sounded. As someone who had lived with the warrior for a long time, the Paladin certainly knew what Joshua wanted: "Don't worry, my friend, there are many eroded ocean monsters in the Abyss of Anos."
Before he finished speaking, he closed his mouth, and the warrior certainly understood what the other party meant and smiled knowingly.
"No matter what, Lord Earl, please try first if you can control this magic array."
On the side, Saye stretched out his slender palm and released circles of holy light fluctuations. She was modifying some structures in the magic array out of thin air. After a few seconds, the runes that were originally covered by the entire magic array were separated into a passage like a circle of gears.
"How to control it?"
Without hesitation, Joshua stepped into the formation platform and so on. He suddenly felt as if he was in the warm sunlight: "Although I know a little magic, I only know how to destroy it."
This is the truth. When the warrior swept through this magic array like a magic circle, he immediately noticed the seventeen flaws in its operating state. If he gave him more time, he might find more.
"It's very simple, Lord Earl."
The gentle voice of the great nun came from outside the magic circle: "Just stand at the core of the magic circle."
This is indeed very simple. The array platform is actually not big. After a second, Qiao Xiuya stood in the center of the magic circle, directly under the core melting star.
Suddenly, he frowned.
"This kind of power...is something wrong."
The moment he stepped into the center of the magic circle, Joshua felt that he had established some wonderful connection with the fragment of the sun above his head. The majestic positive energy was controlled by the magical technique and could echo his thoughts at any time.
But this was not what made him feel wrong. The warrior pondered for a while, then closed his mouth and stopped talking, but felt the power in the magic circle that made him feel confused.
The more in-depth exploration, the more serious Joshua's expression became. It seemed that under his influence, the top layer of the entire ark suddenly became quiet, leaving only the gentle breeze of the sea breeze and the noise of the divine magic array operation.
"Maybe because the Pope's coronation was tight, he did not tell you about our purpose in detail."
Nearly ten minutes later, Robzek spoke and broke his silence. This cheerful man with silver hair and a straightforward and simple personality, can be called a role model of a traditional paladin, explained to the warrior in a pious tone that he had never seen before: "Maybe because he was worried and did not believe it, so he wanted you to come to the Abyss of Anos and witness it with his own eyes."
"No, no explanation."
Joshua felt the familiar and unfamiliar sacred power inside the magic circle, and couldn't help but slowly open his mouth: "I already know what you are going to do."
"I just said that it is impossible to just explore a mere abyss of Arnos when I have so much trouble inviting all the strong men to come and help, and even pay a great price to borrow the fusion star from the imperial royal family."
"It is not to guard against the attacks of the Five-Colored Dragon Clan, nor to cut off the tentacle that connects the abyss and our world. Iger is worthy of being the Pope who has been known as the closest to the gods in history. What he asked for is indeed extraordinary."
Apart from the shadow of a blue bead, an endless force of order surging in it. The warrior turned his head and looked at the three churches who were also smiling, laughing: "The Church of the Seven Gods is really ambition. You don't take the Dragon Fellowship seriously at all, but plan to use the cracks in the Abyss of Anos as a springboard to counterattack the abyss!"
