111. The Storm at Sea I

The sea is like a wayward child, it can meekly hold your hand to see the distant world, or it can be grumpy enough to tear apart the ships that pass by, just because you came at the wrong time.

When the ships of the Bora Chamber of Commerce travel, they must survey the weather to ensure that the goods can be safely walked, but the monsoon is like this every year, and no matter what lies ahead, the special crystal gems of Naasimi and the rich profits across the two continents make it impossible for the merchants to give up.

If this wayward child is hungry, fill it with one ship after another. Even if they know that they can't feed the deep ravines and streams that have been around for tens of millions of years, no businessman will give up. The foundation of the Bora Chamber of Commerce is the precious nautical charts and experience of their ancestors who sailed across the continent.

However, no matter who stays at sea for a long time, looking at the sparkling waves and smelling the sea breeze is astringent, they only have the meaning of boredom, and they no longer have the mind to enjoy the sea view. Except for Lin Ziyue, she would still stand at the bow of the boat for half an hour and an hour every morning, and several young sailors on the ship even gave her the nickname "Bow Portrait", but she was beaten several times by Xuanyuan Yu, but this nickname spread throughout the ship, and even Qian Qiu liked to call her "Sister Shouxiang", of course, she was also beaten.

But Lin Ziyue heard something else in this, after all, the bow statue has blessing protection and iconic items, and she alone can be regarded as the soul of the ship. Lin Ziyue knew that Qian Qiu was deliberately currying favor with himself, reminding himself to bless the people on this ship, maybe he got this nickname at the beginning. This made Lin Ziyue have to laugh and scold this young man's eccentric thoughts in her heart, but she was also puzzled by his good intentions.

As for building momentum for her like this?

The relationship between Xuanyuan Yu and the three of them on the ship is becoming more and more estranged, but Lin Ziyue is getting better and better with the crew under the careful impetus of Qian Qiu's careful thinking, and in order to verify his guess, Lin Ziyue also deliberately befriended these people. There is no need to flatter, just send out some fruit or a few pieces of beef and mutton to the cook every day to make these simple and enthusiastic people cheer. I don't know if it's because the favorability or trust is not enough, although she can feel that the invisible threads are increasing, but they are more chaotic, and they can break as long as there is a little pulling.

According to the words of Chanqiu and the captain, there were still three days left before they arrived in Ahim, and this year's monsoon was more intense and the waves pushed faster. Immersing oneself in the same scenery every day makes it easy to lose the concept of dates, and if they hadn't brought it up, Lin Ziyue wouldn't have remembered the number of days, and before they knew it, they had been on the ship for two weeks. Between the Ahimi Volcanic Islands and Charlotte Bay, there is still a kind of seabird responsible for communication, Lin Ziyue even received a reply letter written by Hei Baizai, the font is beautiful and neat, but most of them convey Baozi's complaints and three thousand to inquire about the caravan's goods, which makes Lin Ziyue feel inexplicably funny and very warm, three thousand may have a common language with Qian Qiu.

This morning, when Lin Ziyue came to the bow of the boat, he found that Xuanyuan Yu was sitting on it one step ahead of him, playing with his key in his hand, and there was a faint space fluctuation rolling up from it between swinging up and down, but it was honestly constricted in his palm.

"Good morning, Satsuki. ”

"Hmm...... Early. ”

"What the hell are you doing these days, aren't you worried about affecting their fate when you get so close to those sailors?"

Hearing those two words, Lin Ziyue felt as if she had vaguely touched a layer of window paper, but that momentary realization quickly disappeared, and she shook her head a little lost: "No, I just think that we have been together for a long time, and it is always right to have a good relationship." ”

Xuanyuan Yu's gaze at her made her heart feel empty, and after a few seconds, he put away the key in his hand: "I had a dream yesterday, a very real dream, I saw C." I don't know what he looks like, but I have a feeling that it's him. ”

Lin Ziyue didn't speak, walked closer, leaned half against the guardrail, and listened quietly.

He said, "Let me be wary of the layers between worlds. We can cross the barriers between worlds, and that's because of our special identity. My brother and Meng Li are both members of the Seven Deadly Sins, and I inherited the power of K, which is equivalent to having some authority at the Guardian level, but you are different. You were born in the world of the B layer, but you were born with the authority above the main world, but you have not really experienced the transformation required to cross the level, and you were teleported by the spatial channel forcibly constructed by Strawberry. He said...... You are like a fish fry wandering in a dead lake, each of your swims will create ripples, and the world around you will change geometrically, creating the possibility of heavier and more chaotic. If the world becomes a B-layer world in your subtle way, then the main system used to grab this model in our world will collapse. ”

Lin Ziyue felt a little stuffy in her chest: "What will happen if it goes on like that?"

"Either our world has a reverse flow of energy, absorbed by the illusion, and the players are reversed by the illusion to become a part of this world, or the environment of the illusion gradually collapses, from the abnormal development of the planet to the mutation of creatures, etc., it may happen, and our world will break away from this connection in time to stop the loss. ”

At the surface of the sea, a large, rocky-backed, rocky fish emerged from the water, and after a humming sound, it bypassed the huge merchant ship that was moving forward, turned over and sank to the bottom again, and the waves that swept the hull up and down. Lin Ziyue's hand on the guardrail tightened, and she stared at the place where the big fish disappeared: "Why did you tell you? He should come to my ......"

"I don't know why he told me, my guess is because your power is starting to grow, and C is no longer able to attach himself to you to convey his thoughts. Satsuki, think about it. ”

"He shouldn't have told you more than that," Lin Ziyue looked up at Xuanyuan Yu with a terrifying gaze, "Did C mention something about himself?"

Xuanyuan Yu didn't look at her, but also stared at the place where the big fish disappeared, and the sudden ripples calmed down a little, and were swallowed up in the general trend of the waves: "He said that he himself is the most classic example, and even the fate of the monitoring envoys is your most straightforward reference." ”

Lin Ziyue was silent, what happened to the envoys?

C has left his soul in his own godhead and abandoned all the power he once had for a plan that still carries a mystery to this day, but there are still people in the Six Realms who remember like strawberries or who are eager to follow him like Xiaoyu; K was erased from his godhead and sent into reincarnation to become Xuanyuan Yu, although he still has power and memory, he has turned into two separate personalities and even souls, and even his own personality will sleep in the subconscious forever; Z is trapped by Liuhe, the intersection of the six worlds, and voluntarily becomes a prisoner in order to maintain the balance of the six worlds, leaving more respite for this world that is constantly moving towards overturning, but there is no way to solve this problemAnd V is more like he is disheartened by all this, his whereabouts are unknown, and his fate is uncertain, where is he now?Is V really free, or is he like the other three Inspectors, bound by the lower world of the Six Realms, which is relatively lower than them?

"I see what you mean, Ah Yu. But I don't want to be like V. He never showed his head, probably because he wanted to minimize the ripples of turmoil, and then silently act as a perfect bystander...... Isn't that hateful?"

"I thought you would describe him as pathetic. Xuanyuan Yu jumped down from the guardrail and leaned there like Lin Ziyue, his eyes were full of worry, which made the chill in Lin Ziyue's heart subside a little.

"He obviously has the power to change the disaster, but he stands by and watches, don't think that I am too virgin, but the demon world was originally created by him, isn't it? It's like a parent who watches his child go to destruction, sees him collapsing, sees that he can't control his fate towards destruction, but lets such a thing happen, and chooses to avoid it...... Pathetic? Perhaps. Lin Ziyue couldn't help but sneer.

Xuanyuan Yu's gaze dimmed: "Maybe...... He didn't want to, but things did keep getting out of their control. ”

"But Ah Yu, he is responsible. C wants to take the fate of this world out of the hands of the Inspectors, hand it over to a suitable person and work for it, and although the plan has been unexpected, he still hopes to use strict order to fix the world on a stable track. K let go of all the freedom of development in his world, so I came into contact with all kinds of life, and all beings in the human world can have a place, and finally K himself has an identity to integrate into this world. I don't know much about Z, but Lei Xie told me about the prosperity of Liuhe and the beautiful scene of those sentient beings, which is the balance and harmony that Z believes in, and she takes care of the underworld and maintains the balance of Liuhe, which has allowed the Six Realms to prosper to this day. So I don't want to be like V......"

"You're so unwilling to accept the fate of others?"

"No, Ah Yu, what I want is to cut off that fate. ”

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Lin Ziyue smiled slightly: "The main system of the Book of Destiny and the Phantom World Game is actually very similar to each other, both of which are the embodiment of the power of the upper level at the next level. The same is true for the four Ombudsmen, except that they are more of a programmer or account manager with great powers. I had doubts before, or maybe they created the Six Realms...... It's a lie in itself. ”

Xuanyuan Yu raised his head and looked at the sky above Yun Shu: "You mean...... The main system I built is actually a simulation of the framework they created, and that's how they captured the Six Realms of Civilization?"

"yes, if it weren't for them being exiled...... Aren't the Six Realms the playground for these higher-level life forms......? Isn't it just an NPC in the eyes of the Phantom player?This thought took root as soon as it came to me, so I can't be indifferent to the inhabitants of the Phantom World, I can really feel their vivid words and deeds, they also have joys and sorrows, yes, they live in a world controlled by our world, but they do ...... Alive. ”

Xuanyuan Yu was silent for a moment, and slapped himself on the forehead fiercely: "Damn! I really regret passing you the word now! What is this matter! It's just an unsolvable dead knot! It's not appropriate to solve it!"

"Haha, these things have been holding me back for many days, that's why I'm so depressed. Looking at such a vast sea, I can feel the magnificent vitality and infinite possibilities of this world, since I can like the phantom world so much, then if I go to a higher level, I will definitely like the Six Realms as well. So I want to start thinking about how to break this cycle from now on...... The Illusory World needs the main system to regulate the player's influence on the Illusory World, but it is up to the inhabitants of the Illusory World itself to decide their own fate...... Sorry for giving you a headache too. ”

"Alas...... It's okay, you don't have to hold it anymore in the future. Next time there is such a sad thing, you can share it with me directly. ”

"Thank you. ”

"You don't owe me, thank you. If you really thank me for helping you share your troubles......"

Lin Ziyue stood on tiptoe and brought her face closer, Xuanyuan Yu's heart beat faster, and then her head was flicked.

"Hey!"

Lin Ziyue laughed and ran away, but bumped into Xuanyuan Yu within two steps.

"Huh, you're cheating, haven't you opened the space passage!" Lin Ziyue directly bumped into his arms, making herself blush a little.

Xuanyuan Yu was very proud: "Now that you have some ability, you always think about things too complicated, of course I can't let go of the cultivation of ability." K left me enough to catch up with you, and now it's very easy for me to open a short teleportation channel in an instant. ”

Just as Lin Ziyue wanted to kick him, suddenly the hull of the boat shook violently.

A shrill whistle sounded from above the lookout, and suddenly the same whistle sounded throughout the ship's patrol posts. After just ten seconds, Lin Ziyue saw Qian Qiu running out of the cabin in a hurry, his upper body was messy with a coat button, and he didn't wake up at first glance.

Qian Qiu shouted at the sailors above, his words full of anger that had been woken up.

Then the posts with the whistles were silenced, and the young man on the lookout shouted, "Fire Rock Whale! Fire Rock Whale!"

The hull of the boat shook violently again, Qian Qiu was running towards Lin Ziyue and the others in a panic, but as a result, he fell directly on his stomach, and Lin Ziyue and Xuanyuan Yu quickly helped him up.

"What! What! I'm fine! I can stand up!"

Xuanyuan Yu looked at Qian Qiu's legs swinging, not only scolded a few words, but said to Lin Ziyue: "I remember that you have that flying moon blade, you go to a high place to take a look!"

Meng Li and Xuanyuan Yan also hurriedly ran up from the cabin, Meng Li's leg swing was more serious than Qian Qiu, and as soon as the smell of the sea breeze rushed into his nose, he immediately retched, and almost didn't fall down the stairs, but fortunately Xuanyuan Yan was behind, and quickly helped Meng Li.

Lin Ziyue flicked her cane, and a moon blade arced in the air, and she jumped lightly, just landing on the white curved blade that was circling back, and rose quickly.

The sight of looking down from the sky made her feel a shock.

In the distance, there are shadows rising from the water under the sea, like reddish-gray volcanic bottoms poking out of the blue ocean, and the shadows reveal their true colors, which are a large red back. The whales that hummed silently from their mouths, the teeth in those big mouths were as thick as grinding discs, but they were insignificant compared to their huge bodies, and the huge whales were not chaotic when they swam, like a whole moving red mountain, which was rolling towards the merchant ships, and the small merchant ships were constantly impacted by the waves, and although they did not capsize directly, they could be swallowed by the owners of this group of sea areas at any time.

Lin Ziyue suddenly understood why Qian Qiu was so anxious, she was always talking to her about how dangerous it was to go to sea these days.

How could she forget that the illusory world was not the real world she was familiar with, and it was natural to have such a magical beast!
