Volume 1 The Curtain of the Night Chapter 75 The Mysterious Sea
Philip left the lobby of the Voyager Bar and went to an underground chamber in the Voyager Bar to deliver Anos's report and request for assistance to the council's headquarters in the Sea of Illaeta, the "Mystic Sea".
Under normal circumstances, the letters and documents sent by the Soul Descent Branch to the Council Headquarters are picked up by the Soul Descent Couriers who regularly travel to the Sea of Elaeta, and after a period of travel, they arrive in Ophelia, a city above the Mystic Sea, and deliver them to the Council Headquarters.
In special cases, if the letter that needs to be sent to the TIC Headquarters is more important, the letter can be sent to the TIC Headquarters through the expedited route.
The expedited route is when branch couriers or members quickly reach the Mystic Sea through a spatial portal created by the Soulborn Artisan, and then rush to the council's headquarters in Ophelia to deliver the letter to the Soulborn Council.
The cost of urgent letters is undoubtedly greater, and the space portal needs to consume a lot of soul energy or soul energy, if you choose soul directly to do so, the transmission of the portal can be more rapid and stable, and the deviation will be further reduced, and there will be no deviation from the destination.
In fact, with the importance of Clara's subspecies black dragon incident, it is still not enough to send the documents to the council headquarters through the expedited route.
After all, there is no doubt about whether the subspecies black dragon will appear so soon, and there is no need to be in such a hurry to report to the council headquarters.
It was only because Philip had a good relationship with Anos that Philip trusted Anos's judgment that he decided to send this letter from Anos to the headquarters by expedited means.
Philip walked quickly to a heavy iron door in the basement, on which were depicted with various alchemical runes, and the surface of the runes even shone with a faint glow.
Philip stretched out his right hand and gently placed his right hand, which released soul energy, on the iron door.
Iron Gate trembled slightly, and then began to move violently.
The iron door opened, revealing the contents of the chamber.
This secret room is a large space, except for the path at the entrance, which is not inscribed with runes, almost all the other places are filled with alchemy runes used by the Soul Descendant craftsmen, these runes are intertwined and resonate with each other, like stars and moons, around a huge door with a dark and chaotic crystal border in the middle.
This door is the spatial portal of Clara's branch.
The Space Legend Gate can only be made by experienced soul craftsmen, and the main production materials are magic guide crystals (also known as soul guide crystals, after all, they are materials that are conducive to channeling soul energy), as well as a large number of non-attribute primordial soul materials and some scattered rune materials.
After collecting the crafting materials, the Soul Descendant craftsman can make a spatial portal, and then supplement it with a large number of runes to maintain the stability of the spatial portal, and the spatial portal is officially completed.
Next, all you need is precise spatial coordinates to teleport to the designated place through the spatial portal.
At this time, Philip was about to enter the spatial coordinates to go to the mysterious sea.
The input of spatial coordinates is troublesome and time-consuming.
It's just that, due to the importance of the Mystic Sea as the largest settlement and headquarters of the Soul Descendants, Philip does not have the exact spatial coordinates of the interior of the Mystic Sea, only the spatial coordinates of the Mystic Sea.
Therefore, Philip can only reach the mysterious outer perimeter through the portal first, and then turn another portal from the periphery to reach the mysterious sea inside, and go to the council headquarters located above the sea.
After some time, Philip finished entering the spatial coordinates.
"Hopefully we can have a smooth ride. Philip gently stroked the letter in his hand, smiled lightly, and said to himself, "Speaking of which, I haven't been back to the Mystic Sea for a long time, and I may be able to stay there for a while after delivering the letter this time." ”
As the head of the branch, Philip apparently rarely goes out to the Mystic Sea.
Let's go.
Philip thought.
Philip kept the letter, carried it with him, and after confirming the normality of the spatial portal, he entered the spatial portal.
After Philip entered the portal, the spatial portal began to operate.
I saw that the translucent crystal frame of the space portal began to emit a faint blue-white light, and a large amount of soul energy was continuously input into the core of the portal from the energy storage place of the space portal.
Under the surge of energy, the portal was activated.
For a moment, Philip felt the world spin for a while, and then things in front of him gradually became clear and stable.
It's a blank slate.
Philip saw a blank space around him, and the space under his feet swayed slightly.
This is a phenomenon unique to the teleportation process of spatial portals, and Philip will probably have to wait for nearly half an hour in this special space to reach the scope of the mysterious sea.
After all, when teleporting, you only choose to consume soul energy instead of soul energy, and the teleportation speed will naturally be slower.
Philip had no choice but to calm down and close his eyes.
... ...
Time passes like water.
Elite Sea.
This is the uncharted sea area outside the Atlantic civilization of the human continent, which countless explorers and treasure hunters flock to, and is often referred to as the "mysterious sea" of the Elite Waih.
The Sea of Elite, also known as the "Hidden Sea" and "Extraordinary Sea", is an unknown sea full of mysteries for ordinary humans, so it is called the Mysterious Sea, but for the Soul Descendants, it is a settlement and headquarters that implements secret means for the sake of safety, so the Soul Descendants are also called the Hidden Sea.
On a small island in this part of the sea, there is a tower located there.
Inside this tower, there is a spatial portal for the Soul Descendants.
There are several Soul Descendants left around the space portal, observing whether anyone has passed through the portal and checking the degree of wear and tear of the portal runes.
At this moment, the spatial portal here suddenly trembled slightly, and the crystal frame seeped out a moving light.
Someone is coming out of the portal.
Meanwhile.
Philip only felt that the things in front of him were turning in a strange whirlwind, and then gradually recovered.
Philip felt a dizziness as he stumbled out of the revealed exit of the spatial teleportation channel.
"My God, who made this portal in the Clara Branch, even if you use the portal at low cost, it won't be so torturous to teleport, right......?"
"Or maybe I haven't used the portal for too long and I'm not used to it?" said Philip as he stepped out of the portal, involuntarily complaining to himself.
"Are you okay, please?" Philip who suddenly stumbled out of the portal undoubtedly startled the Soulborns here, but there were still Soulborns who stepped forward in time and asked Philip with concern.
"No, I'm fine, thank you for your concern. Philip shook his head palely, then looked around at the other Soul Descendants, "Is this Fenris Island?"
Fenris Island, which is a teleportation hub that can be reached by the portals of council branches around the world.
Members of the Council Branch will be able to borrow Fenris's spatial portal to travel to the inner region of the Mystic Sea upon arrival on Fenris Island.
"Yes, this is the Fenris Island Teleporter. Everyone nodded.
"Then I'm sorry for you, I want to use the portal here. While talking to the others, Philip's face had begun to improve significantly, and it was clear that the Soul Descendant's strong self-healing ability allowed Philip to quickly return to his normal state.
Although he is a semi-retired soul hunter and rarely participates in battles, no matter how Philip's level is, he is also a quasi-soul hunter, and his physique will not be bad after all.
"Okay, you're welcome. The soul-descendant young man who took the lead looked at Philip for a moment, and after confirming that Philip was indeed in good condition, he nodded lightly in agreement.
One of the working Soulborn on Fenris' Station was the first to take the lead, followed by Philip.
Another portal leading directly to the interior of the Mystic Sea is located on the opposite side of this portal, and Philip quickly came to the space portal that leads directly to the Mystic Sea under the guidance of the staff.
The portal here has already set up the spatial coordinates to the inner region of the Mystic Sea.
Philip stands in front of this spatial portal with the same crystal border, which is the same shape as the one Philip used last time.
Let's hope the teleportation experience won't be as bad as last time.
Philip thought, and couldn't help but hold his forehead.
Philip turned around and thanked the staff who led the way.
Then Philip adjusted his physical state again, and after being mentally prepared, Philip strode forward, looking like "seeing death as life", and entered the space portal.
Unexpectedly, this time the spatial teleportation process only felt slightly shaky at the beginning, and no other accidents happened.
It may be that the space portal on this side of the Mystic Sea is more "high-end".
I really don't know who made the portal in our Clara branch......
Philip grumbled inwardly as he waited quietly during the teleportation, waiting for the teleportation to end.
... ...
Inside the Mystic Sea.
This is the true heart of the Mystic Sea, where there are no ordinary humans, but countless soulborns, not all of whom are active soul hunters, but various professions (such as civilian soulborns like Philip) or unemployed soulborns (including retired soul hunters).
In the sky above the core area of the Mystic Sea, there is a huge and majestic city suspended in the sky, facing the sea below.
"Ophelia".
Ophelia, the city of sea and sky.
That's exactly what this floating city is all about.
It is the capital of the sky, the city of the sea, a huge city usually located above the mysterious sea.
The surface of the city is constantly open with protective barriers, usually only one layer of barriers, which consumes little energy, and there are two layers of protective barriers, etc.
Ophelia is powered by the Soulborn's relics, and when too much energy accumulates or consumes too much energy, it will descend to the surface of the sea and become a city on the sea, then release excess energy or restore reduced energy.
If necessary, Ophelia can also open special enchantments to dive into the deep sea to move in order to keep Ophelia safe.
After all, Ophelia is too important, the true center of the Soul Descendant, as long as Ophelia is still there, even if the entire Mystic Sea falls unexpectedly, Ophelia can rebuild a new Mystic Sea.
And in the center of the city of Ophelia, a huge semi-palace complex sits there.
The complex has an elaborate exterior with forty-two outlying houses, each of which is the size of a noble villa.
These semi-palace houses are all spread around a huge tower, which surrounds it like the stars and the moon.
The surface of the tower is inscribed with the sword emblem for the soul hunter, the unicorn emblem for the elixir master, the ocean emblem for the psychiatrist, and the alchemy rune emblem for the craftsman.
These emblems complement each other and form an unforgettable landscape.
The tall tower was combined with forty-two semi-palace houses to form this massive semi-palace complex.
This is the supreme organization of all the Soul Born, the true center of the Soul Seed world, the sword and shield that maintain the balance of the world in the darkness.
The Soul Descent Council, the headquarters of the Mystic Sea Council.
