Touching the Sky Chapter 1 Landing
The barren seabed of 10,000 meters below the silent sea level, unlike the corals on the bottom of other seas, is the most mysterious of the seven forbidden places in the world of Terra, and it is called the "Ancient Abyss", which is said to be "devouring all outsiders".
At this time, far from the sunlit seabed, the desolate place that should be silent and silent continued to hear the roar of explosions, and the aftermath of the explosion spread to the ocean in the distance, stunning many innocent creatures that normally passed.
There was a faint sound of fighting, mixed with a slight red light, and if you looked closely, it turned out to be a pair of human eyes, maybe not human, but the humanoid body had fins, horns, tentacles and other organs. The different shapes without exception wielded huge weapons, constantly striking several wriggling mud masses, and the scattered mud blocks exuded an ominous aura, eroding the originally flat seabed into potholes.
As the last mud monster was dispersed, everyone put away their weapons and began to set up a magic array on the vast ocean floor, obviously this kind of thing has been done a lot, and it will be completed in a short time, the light blue magic array swallowed up those scattered mud blocks, and leveled the pothole ground, gradually disappearing. After seeing that the magic array was safely hidden, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and turned into streamers of light and swam towards a hidden place.
It is a place of residence called "Deep Sea City", and its inhabitants are the best members of the sea races who have been favored and entrusted by the spirit of the world. Some of them are from the Demon King Whale family, some are from the Tiger Shark family, some are from the Sea King Octopus family, etc., all of them showed excellent talents at birth, were selected by the spirit of the world, awakened the wisdom, endowed with crimson eyes that saw through all falsehood, turned into a powerful creature like a humanoid, called themselves "Deep Sea Hunters", and were entrusted by the spirit of the world to hunt the agents of the evil thoughts "Ya Ming" that were suppressed in ancient times, to prevent the world from being polluted by evil thoughts.
After greeting everyone again, the leading strong man came to a stone house and pushed open the unlocked door of the stone house.
Unable to feel the irritable shadow energy, the strong man loosened his tightly locked brows, and chanted for a moment to unravel the magic array in front of him, and behind the dissipated energy was a teenager, obviously a little surprised.
"Patriarch, is the seal complete?"
"Well, do you feel better?" The group leader Karon said with some regret in his tone, the young man in front of him was a newcomer to the clan in the past hundred years, not that his talent far surpassed that of the clan, but his diligence was obvious to all, and he had already reached the strength of the early stage of the fifth-order legend at a young age.
"I can already suppress the energy of the shadow, but the curse mark has not faded. The boy stretched out his hand, and a black magic circle on his left arm had lost its previous violent aura, as if it were just a tattoo.
Caron looked at the spell mark a little distracted, as if he remembered something, and after a while, he said, "Ling, you may have to leave Deep Sea City." β
This is not surprising, Young Ling has obviously thought of it, reading through the history, he knows that there was a clansman who was also like him in the past, and was infected by the sudden appearance of the sub-underworld incarnation when sealing the Ya Ying Agent, and later brought a lot of harm to the clan.
"Patriarch, I want to go to the continent of Terra!" The bizarre world described in the clan's library attracted the attention of the boy more than the eternal dark blue seabed.
"When will you go?"
"I'll say goodbye to everyone later. β
Caron didn't say anything more, told Ling to pack her things, turned around and left.
As long as it is not death, for the deep sea clan, the short-term difference is not a matter of concern, not to mention the long-term life given by the plane spirit, that is, most of their own races are long-lived races, and their strength is strong, and it is not much more difficult to go through the door than to drink water.
A few male seniors are enthusiastic to impart some advanced experience of "messing with flowers and grass", and what they say is reasonable, the head is the way, if those seniors are not single, it will be more convincing, and the adventure experience of the serious children is not at all, and there is no thing in the bag that the clansmen stuff, and everyone has some chess and cards to pass the time, but Ling said that this thing is really not used and just do it. Only a letter of introduction from the patriarch said that if you are in trouble, you can ask Gloria, the dean of the "Terra Magic Warfare Academy", to help her, mentioning this name, the patriarch who has always been steady and experienced rarely blushed, obviously this is the real man with a story. Although he was not in a hurry, the patriarch's eyes were full of "You'd better not ask anything", and he didn't know when there was a big wooden stick in his hand.
Bidding farewell to the city where he has lived for many years, it is impossible to come back until the shadow spell is solved, which is somewhat sad, but the yearning for the outside world quickly dispelled a little loneliness.
Ling, who lifted the transformation and returned to her original form, was a little uncomfortable, twisted her body for a while, and quickly rushed towards the sea with her huge fins.
The angle of observation is like a giant bird flying at high speed, the race is called "Split Water Feather Whale", Dividing Water is a talent, the huge water pressure will not have the slightest effect on the Split Feather Whale, and the feather is from the race of the ancestors - once at the beginning of the birth of the world, there was a group of giant birds dominating the sky, calling themselves "Feather", one day Ling's ancestor suddenly felt that it was really tiring to fly in the sky, and then he plunged into the water, strong and capricious.
Due to the talent of water separation, the movement of the express does not bring much fluctuation, and a black shadow does not affect the daily paddling of sea creatures, for most fish and shrimp who do not have much reason, as long as they are not eaten, irrelevant things will not make them unhappy.
......
Of course, Aden was unhappy now, standing on the deck looking sadly in the direction of the mainland.
More than ten days ago, Will, the admiral of the Ash Empire, was caught in a storm while passing through this sea, and after the storm subsided, everyone was fine, but the ship was broken, and in order to lighten the load, he had to throw the plundered goods into the ocean, and there was nothing left. The soldiers on the ship can testify that Will definitely has no secrets.
Just as Will was making an impassioned speech at the Council of the Kingdom, and his patriotic heart was infecting everyone at the meeting, he, Aden, the imperial writer, the king's royal sycophant, suddenly burst into words: "Who knows?"
Then he was sent to this sea area to salvage property, and the crime was that the yin and yang were strange at the meeting. It's all to blame for drinking that day, forgetting that Will is the king's brother-in-law. Now he regrets it very much, he can vaguely hear the soldiers on the ship making jokes about him, but he can't catch the current situation, at first glance it is an old fritter, and he changes his words very quickly, and it does not leak. You can't overturn their dinner table and shout, "You're laughing at me, you haven't stopped!" In the face of someone covering someone, you have to pay attention to evidence in everything, right?
They were all soldiers under Will, and they received instructions from the boss to build Aden, and everyone responded with a pat on their chests. As the Imperial Navy, which is responsible for bullying the weak and collecting protection money, it can't be done properly, and the whole work is still a set. What Akina Island anchored and drifted over the corner, Ames slalom and so on, Aden a landlubber, where to bear, clinging to the pillars on the deck and wanting to die.
Eden is also a nobleman, and it's okay to make the boss angry with him, but if he dies, the boss will use your head to vent his anger on the aristocratic group.
"Old man...... Still alive?" The trembling old man of Eden breathed a sigh of relief, and he was as happy as a child for the rest of his life. Although soon he was shocked again.
Aden's eyes were a little dizzy and his head was a little dizzy, but the giant fish flying over the ship was not the result of dazzling, nor was the shallow sea octopus wriggling on his head.
Ling is very happy now, for the deep-sea creatures, the sunlight has never been seen before, and the quiet deep sea is a completely different experience, and the stupid people under her body are also very funny to watch.
Without dwelling on it, Ling flew slowly and leisurely towards the land, looking like a harmless airship from a distance, if the people on the boat hadn't seen the fangs.
"Moving Scourge?or ...... other?" said Aden, returning to his room, looking at the typewriter in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up. A few days later, an article titled "Xiangrui soars into the sky, the king of the sea returns" quietly circulated, signed by Keyboard Warrior......
Who is the king of the sea, it must be Admiral Will, the people of the Ash Empire think so, it doesn't matter whether Will has the intention of usurping the throne or not, the important thing is whether His Majesty the King thinks he has it.
However, this matter has nothing to do with Ling for the time being, and he has become a beautiful person and slept in the sun for a few days, and only then did the branches get up, and now it is time to leave. Last night, I received a message from the patriarch, and the spirit of the world fell into a deep sleep because of the sudden outbreak of evil thoughts, although the main seal located in the Silent Sea was not broken, but there are many places where the seal is no longer secure, and the evil thoughts that break the seal will infect the surrounding creatures, and the curse mark on Ling's body is also imminent.
Say hello to the big python who has been with me for a few days, this has a smooth iron head and is also a legendary beginner-level monster, as a cold-blooded monster but doesn't like to fight and kill, and even believes in the god of justice, although it is said that the consciousness of dedication to justice is not, but the act of righteousness and courage still makes it quite good in the impression of the creatures around it. He practiced the iron head skill that claimed to be an ancient stunt, and was nicknamed "Watery Iron Skull...... Although I don't like this name, I don't like it, but I don't like it, I don't call it, and over time, I have no choice but to accept it.
Ling invites Waterslide Skull to go on an adventure together.
"My justice is here," said the python with a smile on his bald head, "and it is already the best thing for me to take care of the good things here." β
So on the morning of parting, in Ling's eyes, the bald brother who waved his hand was not only a shiny bald head, but the whole person (snake) was shining.
Walking into the nearest town, the small town of Quaker, with its harbor, is not very prosperous, and in addition to the frequent garbage scavenging by the navy's gang of self-proclaimed guardians of world peace, the fish-people often make this weakly defended town unbearable. The former discouraged merchants from buying property here, while the latter uprooted residents. It's also a coincidence, but when the fish-man appears, the navy is always absent...... It is said that it is to maintain world peace.
The guards at the gate of the town wall were lazily basking in the sun, and their spears were also leaning on the corner of the wall at random, probably living a retirement life in advance.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he saw that the young man in front of him was not looking for Lao Tie to drink with him, and in a daze, he pointed out the way to the Adventurers' Guild to Ling, yawned and continued to enjoy the gifts of nature.
Although people are confused, the road is not wrong. Ling soon arrived at the door of the Adventurers' Association, but she was a little puzzled, why were there so many adventurers in the town, why were they all standing at the door and looking like they were watching a play? Looking at the gate of the Adventurers' Association, there was a light blue gas, and she could still smell a little bad from a distance.
Soon a middle-aged uncle came out with a grizzled teenager, who was obviously the author of this farce. The middle-aged uncle's face was crossed, feeling the joking eyes around him, and remembering that his daughter had made a mess of the association hall, and was preparing to educate his daughter ideologically, looking down and seeing that his daughter was blue and black on her face, she was so angry that she actually laughed out loud, and the little girl was about to be scolded, but when she saw that her father was having fun there, she thought that she was probably laughing at her current appearance, so she stomped her feet and ran away. Where did the people around him think of this kind of development, they were stunned for a while and then burst into laughter, "Forget it!" Old Iron Arm, I know that you love your daughter, and I feel that we have to go in after cleaning up the hall. β
"Come on, come on!" replied Uncle Ironarm, turned back and entered the hall, and soon beckoned everyone to enter the door.
Ling followed the babbling crowd into the hall, who were also regular customers, and they sat down to chat nonsense.
"Dingβ"
With a bang, a new mission "Exterminate the Fishmen" appeared on the screen of the hall through a magical teleportation. Everyone took out their mercenary card in front of the screen and swiped it, even if they received the task.
Ling was confused, "The young man is going to be a mercenary?" Iron Arm came over with a smile, "Do you want to get a card?"
"......" Ling nodded.
"Come on, come in and get a qualification, soon. Pulling Ling into the inner room, "Ciel, do a test!"
I endured all the money given by the bald brother on my body to a ghost-like iron arm, no way, who let the tester be broken by Ling's punch.
Receiving her junior mercenary card from Hill, Ling also looked at Hill curiously for a while, different from the gray face just now, she actually had a quiet temperament when she was washed, not particularly beautiful but very attractive.
"Ling is a strange name!" Hill said.
"It's pretty rare. Ling didn't refute it, the name given in the ancestral training left by the ancestor is indeed a bit different from this world.
"Do you know spells?"
"A little. "Ling is a little weak-hearted, the priority of spell skills in the deep sea clan is not high, the evil thought body has already had a high resistance to the water attribute, and the elements of other attributes are too meager at the bottom of the sea. Barely can be regarded as a high class.
"Can you teach me?" In Hill's opinion, a punch can shatter the tester, unless it has reached the legendary realm, but the young Ling doesn't look like an old guy in the legendary realm, so he thinks that he relies on the power of spells, but he doesn't know that that punch is a real physical power.
Spell techniques have never been accessible to civilians, and the "alchemy" that Hill has learned is a marginal product of spell techniques, but it is difficult to say that he has already started by only exploding and producing poisonous gases. If I met a warlock and didn't ask him for advice, I would probably regret it for a long time, right?" thought Ciel. It's not a big deal to be rejected!
"Yes"
"Actually, I can report it...... Hmm, what do you say?"
"I said yes. "For Ling, spell skills have never been something worth keeping secret.
"Where do you live, teacher, and when are we going to start studying?" Growing up in the Adventure Society, I've seen some warlocks before, but most of them have nostrils facing the sky.
"Anytime, you can choose the location. Ling thought about it, where else can she live if she is penniless, just find a roof to lie down, right?
"Let's start tomorrow then, can you just do it here?"
"Good. β
