Chapter 116: The Storm at Sea and Others Passed Away
Rick is well aware of the origins of the Isle of the Dead, located in the Sea of Silence. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info This is not a secret among the major temples and the high-ranking of the major empires on the continent. It's just that there is some remodeled propaganda for the people at the bottom. If Rick didn't have an advanced official priest, he would only know the specious information about the island of the dead that the major forces had announced to the people at the bottom. However, since Rick has successfully advanced to the official priesthood, he also learned the true details of the "Official Priesthood" obtained from the old deacon priest of the Fox clan in the Temple of the God of War in Port Tanos, and the true details that have been concealed by the major forces. Naturally, such a big force as the Island of the Dead and the Undead Clan, most of the true details of the forbidden land of the living are also known in Rick's heart.
Of the part of Rick that Rick knew, the undead probably appeared in the early to middle of the world's history. That is, thousands of years before this world was first invaded by the Otherworldly Demons. At that time, the belief in the gods was also spread throughout the world, but they were not in a leading position in the world. At that time, the mage class was the supreme ruler of the entire world.
At that time, the gods were able to send their own doppelgangers to the mortal realm as they are now, and to show their power in the mortal realm. But in the end, the number is far worse than the number of magicians. Moreover, there is no shortage of magicians who can compete with the doppelgangers of the gods. Even the best of them have planned to enter the kingdom of some gods and destroy or capture the true bodies of the gods. As for whether it succeeded or not, it has become a top secret under the cover of history.
In this period when the power of magicians is extremely powerful, whether it is to go to the heavens and the earth, or to move mountains and seas, or even to leave the plane world, it is difficult to explore the extraterritorial universe world of the magician group, there is a problem that plagues all magicians. What's the problem? That's the question of longevity. No matter how powerful, wise, or knowledgeable the magician is, he will never be able to make his lifespan endless. This is no match for the gods. It's like a very frustrating 'story' that circulated during that period.
"I have great wisdom, and I can understand and grasp everything." The magician said.
"As long as I don't have that well-fed guy who has nothing to do to kill me, I have an infinite lifespan and can live until the world is destroyed." The gods said.
"I have the most power at my disposal, and even dragons are willing to bow to the wind." The magician said.
"I have an infinite lifespan and can live a long time." The gods said.
"I'm exploring endless universes, countless planes and worlds, researching and learning countless knowledge." The magician said.
"I have an infinite lifespan and can live a long time." The gods said.
And then a war broke out. In the end, the magician barely won and the gods were slightly defeated. But that doesn't change the obstacle that magicians face when it comes to longevity.
Next, the mage class naturally spent countless energy and resources studying the issue of lifespan. It's not for the sake of prolonging life, extending the lifespan of one or two thousand years, or even more than 10,000 years, is nothing to a magician. The research of the mage is to find and break the limit of lifespan, so that even the lowest-level mages who are just starting out in their own class can have an infinite lifespan like the group of gods, even the lowest-level gods.
Then, the magicians who studied the question of longevity went in different directions according to their own ideas. Magicians who study other directions don't talk about him, although there are a few who have either achieved certain results or caused some disasters, but they are not as big as the results achieved by the magicians who have created the undead clan in this wave of research, and there are not as many disasters as they have caused.
The magicians who studied the creation of the undead found that there was an obscure energy in the cemeteries of each race, which fluctuated very obscurely, but it could be continuous and repeated. Moreover, this energy is also somewhat corrosive, and can erode most of the milder energies into its own kind. But the living body itself is very repulsive to this energy. Until a guy accidentally excites a large amount of life energy with this energy, producing an annihilation reaction, leaving another special energy behind. After that guy's research, he found that this new energy actually has all the advantages of the energy in the cemetery and the life energy, and this new energy can actually break the limit of the life of the life form itself after being injected into the life form. That's when the undead were created.
However, after some time, all the wise men quickly discovered the many flaws of the undead. For example, the low-level undead have little intelligence and only have a bloodthirsty instinct to devour each other. For example, although the high-level undead have intelligence, they have lost the ability to reproduce. And these defects will cause the cause of fighting with each other as the years go by, causing the intelligent race to disappear forever.
When all the powers in the world know about these problems, it is almost too late. This is because the entire main plane continent is already full of undead clans, almost all intelligent beings are divided and surrounded. At this moment, two forces that claimed to believe in light and darkness appeared. Among them, the light can purify the energy of the undead and destroy the undead. Darkness can transform and soothe the energy of the undead, so that the undead can return to dead silence. And these two forces are the predecessors of the Temple of Light and the Temple of Darkness on the main plane continent.
After a series of battles, and the gods also frequently attacked, coupled with the battle of other magicians to clear the portal, after thousands of years, finally drove most of the undead on the continent off the sea. At that time, His Highness the Sea God, who was the main god level, did not hesitate to downgrade and personally took action to drive these undead to a large island in the sea, and besieged them with a circle of stormy oceans. Expect to wait until the intelligent creatures recuperate, and then land on the island and wipe out the undead once and for all.
But don't forget, the creator of the undead is not a general existence, and actually opened a connection to another world in the center of the island. Thus occupying and ruling that not so vast world. Then, with the power of that world, the surrounding island was born, and the inner circle of the stormy ocean created a sea that was so calm that it was dead silent.
This is the origin of the Storm Ocean, the Silent Sea, and the Island of the Dead.
And now, hundreds of years have passed, in fact, thousands of years have passed, and the intelligent beings have finally carved out and built their own bases in the Sea of Silence and the Island of the Dead. However, because of some special agreements, there can no longer be any existence above the Holy Order on the Island of the Dead. Of course, the Holy Order existence of the undead clan cannot take the initiative to attack the personnel of the team sent to the island by the intelligent beings.
That's where Rick saw the origin of the mission on the surface. And Rick naturally has to think about the problem of cooperation between himself and Steel Horn when he encounters a battle during the activity on the island. and how the other mercenaries themselves should relate to each other and 'cooperate'.
In this way, the two large ships of the Rhys Chamber of Commerce sailed towards the Isle of the Dead at a distance of miles.
After nearly thirty days on the sea, while Rick was wondering how the voyage had been so peaceful and smooth, Steward Fury himself came to Rick's cabin and invited Rick to the bow of the ship to take a view. There was a kind of ostentatious tone in the words, and in Rick's mind, Steward Fury should have explained the reason why the voyage was so peaceful and smooth.
But as far as Rick knew, when the Poseidon Temple set up the Storm Ocean to seal the Island of the Dead, countless traps were set up around the Storm Ocean, and countless powerful sea beast races were sent to patrol the surrounding area. Whenever a ship passed by, it was often driven away and attacked. Even ships sent by those intent on conquering the undead will be made difficult in every way. What's more, after 10,000 years of evolution, the Storm Ocean has been transformed into a natural celestial phenomenon by the divine power of the Seagod Temple, which is not at all something that ordinary human-controlled ships can compete with.
Rick knew that since the Rhys Chamber of Commerce would send ships to the Isle of the Dead to carry out a mission, there would definitely be corresponding arrangements in order to safely pass through the stormy ocean and the various sea beast races encountered along the way. However, Rick still didn't expect that the Rhys Chamber of Commerce would use such a big trick to pass through the territories of various sea beast races, and safely pass through the stormy ocean where the wind blows and the waves roll.
Rick had been aboard the Thoennes merchant ship not long ago, and knew very well that the merchant ship did not have such means at that time. Now this method is clearly new. From the point of view of Rick's official priest, the price paid by the Rhys Chamber for this method is definitely not small.
Rick had heard that when some forces were sent to conquer the island of the dead, most of them sent fleets over directly. Whether you can reach the Island of the Dead, and how much you can reach, depends mostly on luck, and it is completely resigned to fate. Others will go to the Poseidon Temple to pray before they set off, and after donating some tribute and money, they will get a temporary emblem mark, which will be hung on the bow of the ship to reach the outer edge of the stormy ocean relatively smoothly. The rest of the journey is entirely up to your luck. In the end, the storm ocean has completely evolved into a natural disaster mode.
But Rick didn't expect that the Rhys Chamber of Commerce would invite the high-ranking priests of the Poseidon Temple at all costs, and performed the ritual of "Seagod's Blessing" on the entire merchant ship, and also permanently fixed the magic of "Seagod Residence". In addition, within the scope of the Sea Divine Dwelling Technique, it has opened up and performed the "Non-Hostile Divine Believers' Residence Technique". This caused Rick to lead the steel horns and earless to stand in a reddish enchantment circle above the bow of the ship, watching the entire merchant ship smoothly rush into the stormy ocean of raging winds and rolling waves, surrounded by blue holy light. Then, riding the wind and waves all the way, he easily crossed the entire stormy ocean in a fast and steady attitude, and sailed into the calm and silent sea on the surface.
Just as Rick passed safely through the stormy ocean with raging winds and rolling waves on the merchant ship Thoennes, in another world, Yi and Qi and Wu Xuan also had their own experiences at sea.
