The Blue Elysium is a new artificial island built off the coast of Xianjin Island. Although it has a radius of less than 600 meters, it is worth mentioning that the entire artificial island has been planned as a huge theme park. The island is home to a resort hotel, a paddling pool, a roller coaster, and a special aquarium called the "Warcraft Garden", which is expected to be a new symbol of the island of the gods.

In particular, the "Warcraft Courtyard", which is a venue for raising Warcraft exhibitions, is unique among all the Demon Special Zones, so whether it is the management commune of Xianshen Island or many large enterprises that participate in the construction of shares, they are very much looking forward to the gold-absorbing ability of this future pearl.

Although it has not yet been officially operated to the outside world, at this moment the "Blue Paradise" is already full of people, and the sound of laughter wafts in the air every time.

This is the trial operation of the Blue Paradise, and it can also be regarded as a special provision for the benefits of these high-level people of Xianshen Island or all the high-level personnel of the shareholding enterprises.

No one will give up such a benefit, so all the executives have also arranged their time in advance to bring their family or friends here to enjoy a free high-end vacation.

The artificial island "Blue Paradise" was built about 18 kilometers away from the main island of String God Island, and is a small fan-shaped island that looks like a slice of pineapple.

There is a dedicated shuttle boat to and from the island of String God, which takes about 20 minutes.

The interior of the ship is clean and beautiful, the decoration is high-end and luxurious, the view from the deck is charming, and the free service such as drinks and snacks is also abundant, and the guests are very satisfied.

Soon arrived at the dock of the Azure Pure Land, which should be called a dock more appropriately, right? The staff brought all the guests back to the cabin and checked and helped everyone buckle up as if they were on an airplane.

Then the outside of the glass windows suddenly lowered the silver wall, and then everyone felt a feeling like taking an elevator, and within a few minutes the silver wall was lowered, which was a surprise sigh from the tourists, because they were already on a sightseeing vehicle at this time.

This modular mode of operation is not only rare in the outside world, but also rarely used in the Demon Special Zone, and the specific reason seems to be because of the problem between efficiency and cost... But at least in terms of feelings, this kind of intimate service can't help but be amazing.

The sightseeing buses departing from the port are traveling counterclockwise around the fan-shaped perimeter of the Paradise and will travel on the first sightseeing route in the Paradise, which is also the standard route

The first aquarium and zoo called the "Monster Garden" appeared, a facility where 2,200 animals of 300 endangered species were collected from all over the world for breeding and research. Most of them are open to the general public, especially the number of marine monsters that are bred and are said to be the largest in the world.

Then there's Paradise's biggest selling point, the expansive pool area along the coast. From the indoor competition pool, which hosts international competitions, to the waterslide, which is more than 200 meters long, there are a variety of pools where you can spend the day in a swimsuit.

Next to the swimming pool is an amusement park, where you can enjoy not only the necessary facilities such as Ferris wheels and roller coasters, but also the "real haunted house" that makes use of the characteristics of the "Demon Special Zone". And I heard that in addition to the demons, there are also exciting amusement projects that are not guaranteed to survive if you catch it.

Next, after passing through the shopping district with its rows of restaurants and stalls, it's time for everyone to book their tourist accommodation tonight. Centered around the huge "Paradise Hotel", which is a symbol of the blue paradise, there are several vacation apartments and rental villas along the canal.

This was the original plan, but at the moment the whole park was already full of people, and they were not the first guests to be received.

......

There are several competitive swimming pools in the wide tank, and many monsters are swimming in them.

Sleeping in the area under the water is a strange South Asian fish called "Makara"; The one with a frog-like carcass and flying fish-like wings is supposed to be a sea-dwelling Water Leaper. In addition, there are strange monsters like octopuses and eels that swim in countless tanks.

This is the largest tourist attraction in the Blue Paradise, the "Warcraft Garden", with a large water tank.

"Wow......"

Xiao Nagisha leaned out of the handrail of the passage, her eyes shining. Her long, short hair swayed regularly as she leaned in.

"It's really big. It is worthy of the world's top Warcraft aquarium...... Is that a horse? Horsehead mermaids?

Nagisa said and pointed to a strange creature with a horse on its upper body and a fish on its lower body. The silver fins that grow in place of horsehair are moistened and crystalline by the water. It was a magical beast that was so beautiful that it even had a sense of sacredness.

"You mean Hippocampus, right? It is a species of seahorse that inhabits the coast of the North Sea Empire. It's the first time I've seen a real thing. ”

Yukina explains to Nagisa next to her. As a sword witch of the Lion King's agency, Yukina has the knowledge of various magical beasts, but she really has never had the opportunity to see the rare and endangered marine magical beasts at such a close distance in the past. Despite her feigned calmness, Yukina couldn't hide her excitement from the rare experience.

"Those eyes are so cute...... I also want to feed the bait and try it. ”

Nagisa muttered intoxicatedly.

In the corner of the sink, there are monster breeders in wetsuits feeding horse-headed fish-tailed beasts. In anticipation of next year's official opening, he is teaching horse-headed mermaids to perform stunts.

It is said that the purpose of building this "Warcraft Garden" is to build it. It is to rely on the income from the entrance fee of visitors to subsidize part of the huge expenses required to study Warcraft. The world's first horsehead mermaid show seems to be expected by the zoo to be a major focus of attracting customers, and I feel that the breeding staff are also quite attentive to training.

Unlike vampires and orcs, who have knowledge, can communicate with humans, and are protected by the Sanctuary Treaty, Warcraft's conservation efforts started late. In society, many monsters are still regarded as dangerous monsters, and poaching and torture incidents are endless.

And the reality is that most of the Warcraft have high combat capabilities, and there are not a few races that will attack humans.

As long as there are more facilities such as the "Warcraft Garden" and the research on the ecology of Warcraft, the symbiosis between humans and them may be smoother, but this road will not be smooth.

Immersed in that sentimental layer of Yukina, Nagisa is cheering at the horse-headed fish-tailed beast's unique beach ball. Yukina silently looked at her face.

"-Yukina, what's wrong with you?"

Nagisa noticed Yukina's puzzled gaze and tilted her head in confusion as she asked.

Yukina smiled and shook her head and replied:

"Nope. I'm wondering, are you scared...... The horse-headed mermaid. ”

"Ouch...... It's Brother Gucheng, right? He's talking to you! ”

Nagisa raised her hands in anger and sighed heavily.

“…… Talkative? ”

"It's just that I have a demon phobia. Haven't you even heard about people who were hospitalized in accidents? ”

Hmmm-Yukina nodded implicitly. Nagisa has been seriously injured in the past due to terrorist attacks related to demons, and it is said that since then, she has been extremely afraid of contact with demons. It's not the ancient city that told Yukina about that, but the shallots, but it shouldn't make much difference.

Nagisa was confused and panicked when she ran into the demons, and Yukina had witnessed it several times.

And Nagisa thought that his demon phobia was not a goof, which was surprising.

"I don't mean to discriminate against demons, but I'm still a little scared of vampires or orcs or anything like that."

Nagisa, who seemed frustrated, confessed weakly. However, she looked back at Yukina, who looked worried, and immediately smiled cheerfully and said:

"But it's okay with Warcraft. People with androphobia aren't afraid of male dogs, right? Besides, I love animals and I'm not afraid of reptiles. But I probably can't stand insects, like sea spiders, I don't dare to understand. ”

"Insect ......?"

Spiders aren't insects – should they be corrected or ignored? Yukina begins to worry about inconsequential details. Nagisa silently stared at Yukina with interest and asked:

"Hey, you shouldn't be minding Brother Gucheng and shallots, right?"

"Hmm...... A little. Only we can play like this, and I feel like I can't get away with the seniors. ”

Yukina replied with a wry smile.

It was about an hour before the old city and the shallots were rushed to work as soon as they arrived in the Azure Paradise, and what happened to them was that their friend Kiki Yase tricked them into working under the pretext that there was a surplus of free accommodation and play trial opening places.

Actually, there is no shortage of manpower, but there are still a lot of things that need to be kept secret for the trial operation, and it is difficult to cultivate employees who can be trusted and will not leak secrets in a short period of time, so Kiki Yase, who is involved in the operation of the Azure Pure Land at home, tricks the two guys they can trust into helping.

Of course, this is the superficial reason ... The actual reason is known only to Kiki Yase.

However, it is not allowed to hire children in Japanese countries as well as child labor in China, so Yukina and Nagisa are the ones who really enjoy the free play and accommodation in the "Blue Pure Land" park.

Since Yase also said that he wanted to help with the family's business and left, the remaining Yukina and Nagisa had to come to visit the "Warcraft Garden" by two people.

Although there is such a relaxation and fun in this way, but based on the position of being in charge of monitoring the ancient city, Yukina has some "Is this good?" Guilt.

After all, during the days of Chu Ge's disappearance, Saya Hua accepted orders to carry out other tasks, and Yukina was temporarily seconded to monitor Xiao Gucheng.

"Do you mind that......"

However, Nagisa, who seemed disappointed, hung his head weakly. It seems that Yukina's reaction seems to be a little different from the answer she is pursuing.

"Huh?"

"Hey, I can't help with my work, we can't help it, we're still in middle school. Yase said the same thing...... The problem is not there. Come to think of it, I'm talking about shallots. ”

"How is Senior Sister Blue Feather?"

Yukina asked with a wink. Nagisa deliberately put on a serious expression and replied:

"To put it simply, what do you think of shallots?"

"Uh...... She was a very handsome person, courageous, and then gentle. ”

These are Yukina's heartfelt words.

After all, she herself was saved twice by shallots. The first time was when Yukina and the others were captured by the Black Death Emperor faction; The second time was when Yukina and the string gods fought each other.

In a situation where ordinary people would be too scared to move, Shallot wrote a program to destroy ancient weapons, and even hacked into the security equipment of the MAR facility to save Yukina's life. The Sword Witch of the Lion King Organ is saved by a high school girl with no combat training. Since then, Yukina has had a reverence for shallots, while also being wary of the same degree. And then—

"Yukina, I like you!"

“…… Hey? ”

Yukina is suddenly hugged by Nagisa, and she is so confused that she can't figure it out. Nagisa looked a little excited, and squeezed Yukina's hands hard and said:

"Yukina, you're amazing. Amazing, discerning. That's it, shallots are smart and gentle, and they are also very handsome. Although I tell you that no one understands this. ”

“…… Nobody understands? ”

"That's right, everyone only compliments the appearance of shallots, especially the boys in our class! What kind of temperament is hot, I want to be led by her to learn all kinds of the adult world step by step, and I feel like I'm **** or something...... Enough of those people! ”

Nagisa seems to be angry just thinking about it, and she is so angry that she seems to be holding on to herself.

Yukina looked at her dumbfounded for a moment, and then said:

"You like Blue Feather Senpai very much, don't you?"

As soon as Yukina, who felt warm, asked, Nagina nodded shyly.

For Nagisa, who has spent a long hospital life since coming to String God Island, shallots are precious same-sex friends, and at the same time, they are also a rare connection with the outside world. Even without those factors, it makes sense that the shallot, which actually interprets the term "talent and appearance", would make Nagisa feel adored.

"If only Shallot could really become my sister...... It's a pity to match the ancient city brother and put it aside for now. ”

Nagisa muttered earnestly, making it seem like it wasn't necessarily a joke. That's right-Yukina almost accidentally agreed, but she felt that it was too rude to her friend's brother, so she changed her words again:

"Uh...... Well......"

"But Yukina is the same for you!"

“…… What the? ”

The conversation suddenly turned, causing Yukina's thoughts to stop for a moment.

"I do like shallots, but they are neutral! I'll be sure to cheer you on too! So, I'd like to hear what you really mean. But isn't it better not to ask? Wow, it's annoying......"

"Well, I guess you've misunderstood a lot of things, I-"

Yukina, whose tongue is knotted, begins to defend Nagisa, who is holding her head in distress. Do you have to find out "I'm just spying on your brother"? She couldn't say that to Nagisa's face.

However, Nagisa ignored Yukina's inner entanglements and said again:

"But to call you sister, I feel a little resistant...... After all, you're a little unreliable......"

"Damn...... Unreliable? ”

The evaluation given by a friend was unexpectedly low, which made Yukina suffer a little. She never expected Nagisa to look at her like that. Yukina thinks she is a person who can make a difference, and it is because of this that it is so exciting.

It's really not okay not to refute it. In a hurry, Yukina was about to speak, and then-

The bombardment-like vibrations slammed from the soles of Yukina's feet to the top of their heads, slamming into the artificial islands.

Yukina felt the illusion of a dent under her feet, and immediately reached out to grasp the handrail of the passage.

"It's ......!"

"How did you feel just now...... What is it? ”

At first glance, Nagisa was also clutching the pillar in the same position.

But that's all there is to it.

The ground of the artificial island did not shake, and the water surface did not wave. With the exception of Yukina, the guests continued to visit the "Warcraft Garden" with smiles on their faces.

Only Yukina and Nagisa were the only ones who noticed the mutation—only the two of them, with their powerful psychic potential, felt the unseen impact. It's probably a wave of magic - someone has unleashed an explosive spell from somewhere that is enough to shake the entire Elysian Land.

Could it be that Yukina was the first to suspect the ancient city. If, as he had done several times in the past, the Fourth True Ancestor's beast was out of control, it would not be surprising that even the magic power of the scale just now appeared.

However, the magic that Yukina feels is obviously different from the nature of the old city

Not only that, but she felt that the source of her magic was not in the Azure Paradise. It came from far away – from the bottom of the deep sea, far away from the creation of artificial islands.

On the other hand, even at such a distance, Yukina and the others still felt the same powerful magic as the Fourth True Ancestor Beast. In that case—doesn't it mean that it is the monster that overrides the Fourth True Ancestor that unleashes the fluctuations of mana?

Yukina shuddered at the thought of this possibility, and Nagisa screamed in panic that pulled her thoughts back to reality.

"Yukina...... Look at those monsters......! ”

Before Nagisa could finish speaking, the sink in the "Monster Garden" shook violently.

The terrified beasts are frantically messing around in the water.

The Capricorn's massive body slammed into the walls of the tank, and the tempered glass made a hair-rattling sound. The horse-headed fish-tailed beast rolled wildly around the surface of the water, and the breeding staff was so frightened that their legs went limped and fell to the ground.

However, they have no intention of attacking. Those monsters were just scared.

The monsters are more sensitive to magic than Yukina as a psychic medium, and after feeling the strong fluctuations, they are all anxious to escape from here-

"Uh-huh......!"

Yukina bit her lip anxiously.

Even if she understood the situation, she didn't have the means to suppress those demonic beasts now.

Yukina doesn't have the "Snow Wolf" at hand, and with her own strength, it is impossible to make all the demonic beasts in the sink powerless, and it is unbearable for her to kill those demonic beasts who are just afraid.

"Shut up!"

At this time, a slightly annoyed voice sounded, and the reprimand, which was not loud, but very clear instantly, spread throughout the audience, and the coercion and anger contained in the voice instantly quieted down the entire "Warcraft Courtyard".

Including the breeders who were running away in panic and the tourists on the shore, all the creatures in the range collapsed to the ground and shivered because of that sentence.

......

Chu Ge was also very annoyed, according to the direction and approximate distance given by the captain of the submarine, Chu Ge carried out a spatial teleportation that was not far away. But after all, it is a submarine, and their navigation system does not take into account the need to go to land or islands, and a scientific submarine and a submarine are two different things.

So the distance must be an approximate distance, and when Chu Ge teleported out, he found that he was still in the water, and he was directly slapped by a big fish like a monster!

The entire pool is full of strange monsters, and they are all swimming wildly like being stabbed in a chrysanthemum, rampage!

Chu Ge once wondered if he had teleported to the wrong monster nest, but then he sensed the existence of humans on the shore, and he was fleeing in panic, so he felt that he should have arrived at Xianshen Island, after all, there are so many different demonic beasts, and only places like the Demon Special Zone will exist.

In just a few seconds of thinking time, Chu Ge was hit no less than eight times, although he couldn't hurt him at all, so he didn't react to his strength and wild intuition, but Chu Ge was still very annoyed by the collision, and directly scolded him in the form of words, suppressing all the people and demonic beasts.

However, when Chu Ge came out of the water, he was surprised to find that there were still two people standing, but at a glance he knew who it was, and at the same time he felt that trouble was coming.
