Teleported to St. Croix again through St. Goode, Darko and the others arrived at the main hall of the Space Temple, and saw this outrageously large interior space again, Darko was not amazed but nostalgic. шщш.(vii) (ix) x.S.сом The update is so fast. For two years ago, he had also come to this temple and from here to the Mercury plane. Phyllis was still waiting for him at the portal in the Mercury plane, and he told Phyllis his real name at that time. All of this still seems to be vivid, and Dakko feels like crying when he stands here at this time.

Darko suddenly felt his sleeve be pulled, and turned his head to see Phyllis winking at him, and it seemed that Phyllis was thinking about it too. Phyllis leaned in close to Darko and put her ear to him, "I'll tell you a secret when no one is around." ”

Darko was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know what secret Phyllis was trying to tell him, and he was stunned, but he felt that his sleeves were tight, and he had been pulled by Phyllis and ran forward. Follow in the footsteps of the three people in front of you and walk together to the passage to the Venus Plane Teleportation Gate.

Last time, in order to avoid being pursued, Darko went to the fourth-level plane of Mercury. And this time the Venus they are going to is an eighth-level plane, and it is possible to encounter a powerhouse at the level of the Great Swordsman and the Great Magister, and the danger is even worse. Darko let out a few deep breaths, already adjusted to his best, and followed Otto and Aceba into the portal door.

The area of the branch hall of the Space Church in the Venus plane is also very large, with a radius of 100 meters, even larger than the main shrine of some churches. But since I had just seen the terrifying space of the main temple of the space, after teleporting over, I saw this branch hall, and I felt that it was nothing more than that.

Darko and the other five people walked out of the space temple, and immediately felt that their eyes lit up, what appeared in front of them was a blue sea and blue sky, the sea and the sky 'intersected' not a line, and if you looked closely, you could see the outline of the mountain range, which was another island. The wind here carries a 'tidal' wet and salty smell, which is the smell of the sea.

Soon Darko discovered that the reason why the space temple of the Venus plane was built not far from the sea was not for the sake of the scenery, but because the island was only so big. The total area of the island is more than 300 meters in total, and the space temple likes to show the breadth of its temple space, so the various halls of this temple add up to the entire island, and the remaining area is nothing except a small port.

The Venus plane is the most beautiful and largest plane, the entire plane is composed of more than 5,000 islands, and the rest of the area is covered by the ocean, which accounts for more than 95% of the total area of the plane. Since the Magical Revolution, the Venus Plane has been occupied by the Vitamin Guilds, and most churches have withdrawn their chapters, except for the Space Church, which still keeps the portal 'door' open.

The island where the Space Temple is located is the smallest of the kind, and the island where the Death Relic they are going to is located is also a small island, but it is also a little larger than this island. When Phyllis and the others arrived at the port, they could vaguely see another small island in the distance across the port, but they couldn't see the specific situation from a distance. There are dozens of small boats in the port, which can be purchased or rented, and of course Phyllis and the others will not drive them back, so they directly bought a small boat with 5 gold coins.

The boat is oval in shape, with a smooth ball in front and four oars around it. Phyllis jumped on the boat first, beckoning Dakko to jump down too, Dacko looked at the stern of the boat with a rated capacity of 3-5 people, and then looked at the two big guys, Aceba and Otto, and hesitated, for fear that the boat would be sunk. Kevin was expressionless, and went straight to the boat, walked to the front and put his hand on the ball to inject magic power, and saw a bunch of tiny bubbles rising from the bottom of the boat.

"This needs to be driven by water magic, you better save it!" Phyllis pointed at Kevin twice, and then beckoned to Darko, "Darko, you come, only you and Weedmeire can control this ship of the five of us." ”

Kevin shrugged his shoulders indifferently and walked to the corner of the boat to close his eyes and recuperate.

Darko was very curious when he heard this, and he also jumped onto the boat and looked at the ball in front of him, and in his 'essence' divine power perception, he realized that this was a control hub that 'manipulated' the magic array of the water system at the bottom of the boat. The two magic circles below are two magic circles of drainage, which play the role of guiding the water flow to the left rear and right rear, and by controlling it, the boat can move forward, and then by controlling the amount of mana input on both sides to 'manipulate' the vertical direction.

Darko tried to inject a little mana into it, and sure enough, the bottom of the boat turned up 'waves' and 'flowers', and the boat immediately moved forward, many times stronger than Kevin.

"Hey, Otto and Aciba haven't gotten on the boat yet, go back!" Phyllis cried out, and Darko hurriedly adjusted the direction of the mana, and the boat slowed down and backwards again, and then the stern of the boat slammed into the dock, and all three people on board fell at once.

Phyllis and Kevin covered their heads and glared at Darko and began to accuse him, while Darko discovered the peculiarity of the '' control of the drainage magic array, and thought about the structure with great interest while lowering his head. In such a joyous atmosphere, no one noticed Otto, who was quietly looking at the blue sea and sky and muttering, "After a year, I'm back again." ”

Otto jumped onto the boat, and the whole boat sank downward, drawing the attention of the three Darko.

"Weedmire, won't you put your shield in the Space Ring? Holding the boat like this will get flooded!" Phyllis shouted at Otto.

Otto replied calmly, "I want to defend as soon as danger occurs, to protect you weak magicians, and the shield cannot be left in my hand." ”

Darko and the others were stunned, they were all used to Otto's taciturnity, but they didn't expect him to return to his own plane, as if he had changed his horn and 'color', but Kevin became more and more silent.

Darko said to Asiba on the shore, "Come down, we're about to set sail!"

Aciba had been looking at the water below from the shore, and cold sweat was oozing from his head, and when he heard Darko's words, he was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and he did not dare to get on the boat. Darko asked, incredulously, "What? Are you afraid of the boat?"

"Haha, it's so funny that our Alchemy Grand Prix champion is afraid to take a boat!" The four people, including Kevin, were all amused by Aciba, although the Alchemy Grand Prix champion was actually a team of six people including Darko, but they seemed that Ashiba who was fighting in the ring above was the direct winner of the championship, so they called Asiba the Alchemy Grand Prix Champion.

Darko smiled and said, "You haven't seen the sea before, right? ”

In the end, Aciba was coerced and lured by everyone, but he only shrank in the stern of the boat, not daring to look at the ocean outside the boat. With Darko's previous performance, this time Otto came to the helm, he used drainage to control the 'potion' in the Alchemy Grand Prix before, and at this time he was only 'manipulating' the magic array, which was even more comfortable, much better than Darko's technique. The boat gently left the docks of the Space Temple and sped forward.

After a while, even Asiba, at the instigation of everyone, began to look cautiously at the ocean around him, and gradually let go, even trying to catch fish in the water.

Like Aciba, Darko was also sailing for the first time, and asked in a daze, "Isn't it a little small for us to sail with such a ship?"

Hearing Darko's words, Phyllis and Otto couldn't help but laugh, and even Kevin, who was in a 'gloomy' mood, was amused. In the end, it was Otto who told Darko, "Of course, such a small ship cannot be used for navigation, but this archipelago is very close to each other, and some of them are even connected to each other when the tide is low, and the island where the space temple is located is only a small island in this central archipelago, and this small boat will take ten minutes to reach the adjacent Qom Island, where we can buy the big ships we need for navigation." ”

Kevin also said, "The ship powered by the magic crystal can also be regarded as an alchemy item in itself, and I also saw a small boat in the collection hall at the beginning, and the Alchemy Guild must be more 'refined' and secret." But it was a small boat that could only carry a dozen people, and it couldn't meet our requirements. The kind of big ship that you want to sail far away still needs professional boatmen to build. ”

Darko realized that he had made a joke, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and then he realized that the first thing they were going to was another big island, and not that they were going to use this small boat to go directly to the island where the ruins were. After learning about Darko, he learned that the more than 5,000 islands in the Venus plane are different, and the distances between them are also very different. Some of the islands are isolated in the middle of the ocean, and the nearest island is tens of thousands of kilometers away, and even the air archmage can't sustain that long flight, so they have to take a boat to explore. However, some islands are so close to each other that when the tide recedes, the land joins together and becomes an island. The island where the space temple is located is a small island in the archipelago, and it is not far from the other islands in the archipelago, which is convenient for 'traffic' and travel.

When the Venus plane was first discovered, there was no land here, and the entire plane was a huge ocean plane, and there were no islands 'exposed' above the sea surface, which was of course not suitable for the human race to develop resources. At that time, the Space Church bought the coordinates from the plane discoverer, but found such a scene, even if the portal was opened, the major forces could only watch this huge plane helpless.

It wasn't until the year 990 of the Age of the Gods that the Church of the Prophecy received an oracle that a rare celestial phenomenon that would occur once in 10,000 years on the Venus plane, the Nine Stars Alignment. Therefore, after the collegial discussion of the three major churches of prophecy, space, and ocean, it was decided to change the environment of the Venus plane when that celestial phenomenon appeared.

When the nine-star alignment celestial phenomenon appeared, the seawater of the entire plane was attracted to the sky, forming a seawater mountain. The god of space opened a void rift in the location of the water mountain, and coupled with the guidance of the god of the ocean, the seawater was continuously sucked into the void, and it was only after sucking in half of the seawater of the entire plane that it was over. In this way, more than 5,000 islands appeared above the surface of the sea, and became what the Venus plane is now.

After that, the god of the sea used that sea water as a furnace, and sealed the soul of the Crystal Dragon of the Saint-level Demon Beast of the Alternate Plane into it, and used the hundreds of millions of magic crystal jellyfish of an entire race in the void as energy, and immediately created an artifact robe for 1,500 years. Wearing that robe is like wearing the whole ocean on your body, and there is an inexhaustible element of water. All attacks at the same time are like going into the ocean, and they don't hurt the user in the slightest. Moreover, when this artifact robe was manufactured, it involved the power of the law of prophecy, so even the prophecy could block it. In addition to the visually impaired helmet and crystal wall barrier, it has become another piece of equipment with anti-prophecy ability.

Because this artifact looks like an endless stream of water flowing over and over again when worn on the body, it is named Zhouliu. Including the three-level defensive magic Zhou Liushui of the water system, it is also the Pope of the Ocean Church, and the spell created by the artifact Zhou Liu.

While Otto controlled the direction, he also told several people about the history of the Venus plane. Although several people also had a general understanding of the situation in each plane, they didn't know so much about it, and they were all amazed when they heard Otto's explanation.

Phyllis tugged at Darko's sleeve and said, "This time I'm here to play in Venus, and I'll show you the world." Those cannon fodder of the family don't know how many days it will take, so let's have fun in the towns of Qom Island first!"

Darko looked at Phyllis with delight, and felt very happy, but he immediately thought of it and asked strangely, "Do we have to wait for the others? Don't we need to set sail right away? What if the ruins are preempted by someone else?"

Otto, a Venusian, answered Darko's question, "The coordinates not only marked space, but also time. Obviously, this ruin was opened at a certain time, and if you go at other times, you can't enter the ruins, and it's useless to go early. ”

Kevin also nodded yes, "After all, it is a relic left by a god, and it is not like an ordinary ancient tomb that can be found by digging a pit casually." ”

"Ah, it's that kind of peculiar celestial phenomenon!" After Otto's reminder, Darko remembered that there was a black spot on the sun, and the ruins in the coordinates were only opened when this celestial phenomenon occurred, so Darko asked again, "What is the time marked by that celestial phenomenon?"

"It's a black drop transit, a strange celestial phenomenon that only appears once every 1035 years in the Venus plane, and the last celestial phenomenon is 1034 years ago, and the next celestial phenomenon is exactly a year later. ”

After receiving this information, Darko was relieved that in a year, he would be able to reach the island where the ruins were located anyway. But he immediately thought of it, "That celestial phenomenon appears once every 1035 years, and the Death Rein fell in 1993, which means that the Death Relics were opened twice in 2926 and 3961. Wouldn't anyone have happened to have been to that island when that kind of celestial phenomenon happened in the past?" Darko's concern was very realistic, after all, if the ruins were discovered when they were opened in the past, and all the good things inside were taken, then they would have to waste their time going again.

"That island is close to the edge of the plane, and even if an adventurer arrives there, it may not be just in time for the ruins to open, and it is normal for no one to find them, but it is not certain that no one has found the ruins. Otto's words changed sharply, and he continued, "In the past, there was no guidance from that coordinate, and naturally no one often ran to the desert island at the edge of the plane, and the history of the earlier period is no longer documented. However, it is rumored that someone did discover a certain ruin and gained great power as a result, and now that I think about it, the time recorded in that rumor is exactly more than a thousand years ago. ”

Darko was startled and hurriedly asked, "Who is that man, and what did he get?"

"After all, it was a thousand years ago, and it may have been artificially misinterpreted and disguised, and I don't even know where that person found the ruins. Otto thought back to his past, and his face was 'revealed' for a while, "As for the name of the person who discovered the ruins, there are different opinions, but the people of that era called him - One Piece. ”
