Standing on the bow of the Holy Griffin, looking out at the calm blue sea ahead, Lord Kane's heart could not remain calm.

No one understands the significance of this voyage better than Kane, once the route to the Elven Country is explored, the trade between the two places can be liberated from the control of the Chamber of Commerce, and the benefits will be the majority of nobles, who can minimize the loss in the trade process.

On this voyage, Kane received support from within the country, and those special beings with prominent status came for this, for which Kane was naturally grateful.

The first half of the journey went well, with a large number of priests on board, even in the rainstorm, there was no need to worry about the safety of the voyage, but Kane knew in his heart that the rest of the journey would not be so easy to pass.

In order to discover the best path to the Elven Realm, the Holy Griffin needs to travel through a special sea bound with death.

Directly connected to this sea is the realm of the dead, and it is the biggest obstacle to direct trade with the elven realm on land.

It was difficult to travel across the land, and finally had to put the way of trade on the surface of the sea, but even so, the land of the dead still deeply affected all this, including the sea in front of them.

The mist began to spread above the sea, obscuring everything in the distance, but it did not give a sense of dampness, and there seemed to be a huge shadow in the fog that kept passing through, but when the ship approached, nothing could be seen.

"Captain, we have officially entered the Sea of Damned, and from now on, we may encounter many anomalous events."

The old man stared intently at the huge book in his hand, as if he wanted to find out what he believed in from the contents of the book, and it was the explorer on the side who said this.

It didn't need to be reminded of him, Kane had already confirmed this when the mist appeared, and the mist that lowered all perception and obscured vision was the hallmark of the Sea of Damned.

The Sea of the Damned, near the Land of the Dead, was an obstacle they had to pass through on their journey, and the unknown creatures that existed in it had long been a nightmare for all ships, even the most seasoned captains would not want to enter it under any circumstances.

More than the anomalies that might be encountered in this area, Kane was most concerned about how to plan a feasible route here.

A large number of priests exist on the Holy Griffin, Kane naturally does not have to worry about what problems will arise in this voyage, the real difficulty is how to establish the correct route, so that all ships sailing along the route in the future can avoid unknown dangers.

This is a problem that the Holy Griffin, as an explorer, must solve, and at the same time, it is also the real reason why those prominent beings will appear on the ship.

Not long after sailing, an intoxicating faint song sounded on the sea, and the syllables of unknown content were like a girl's soft whisper.

When the song first appeared, many sailors on the ship thought that it was an auditory hallucination caused by not seeing a woman for too long. Only a handful of experienced sailors, understanding what the singing meant, began to frantically look for something to plug their ears from, but to no avail.

The existence of singing penetrates the barriers of everything, whether it is the deck or the cabin, everyone hears the singing vividly, and the singing voice that appears directly in their hearts makes them lose all their previous thoughts and become intoxicated.

For the sailing ship, the crew in this state is undoubtedly extremely dangerous, the crew who was working on the mast fell from above in a daze, and many of the crew members who were deeply tempted by the sound walked towards the edge of the deck, as if they were about to jump off the next moment.

Priests with a strong mind can reduce the effect of singing on themselves, but they are no better, and they have to resist the effect of singing with all their might, and they cannot maintain the casting of spells for a while.

The only one who relied on his own ability and was not affected was perhaps the high-ranking priest at the bow of the ship, who saw everything around him, and a cold snort came from under the faceless robes.

As the high-ranking priest raised his hand, a strong flash of brilliance flashed, and although the singing was not interrupted, the surrounding crew members had already regained their clarity.

The singing continued to ring in their ears, but this time, it was no longer able to affect them in any way.

Under the rapid sailing of the ship, the chanting gradually decreased, and it was not long before nothing could be heard, but this experience has long been deeply engraved in the hearts of all the crew.

"Captain, we should have just met the Kraken."

The master of the map on the side marked a warning symbol on the map for this area, indicating the danger of this place for the future voyage, and it was the explorer on the side who said this.

Kane, who is the captain of the ship, is also affected by the singing due to his low rank.

In the illusion generated by the charm of singing, Kane saw the woman he liked, she had a tall figure, a strong body, and the sea breeze blew all year round, which made her face have some traces of erosion, but it also added a special temperament to it, that is the charm of the sea, she is the former legendary pirate, the hero Sylvia.

If it weren't for the timely interruption of the high-ranking priest, under the charm of the illusion, Kane at this time would most likely have fallen into the sea and finally lost in the sea of curses.

The amulet on the side of the explorer shimmered brightly, leaving him unaffected by the singing.

At this time, Kane set his sights on the explorer, and what Kane cared more about than this was the words from the explorer.

As an advisor on this voyage, shouldn't you warn you when you notice a possible abnormality? What is the role of reporting what has already happened to you?

Because of this, Kane had deep doubts about the strength of the explorer.

Kane had also heard about the rumors of the Kraken before, but before that, he was more of a story told by a bard. At this time, such a major event happened enough to be recorded in the logbook, and Kane naturally no longer doubted the authenticity of the Kraken.

With a deep sigh, Kane once again remembered the Sylvia he had seen from the singing illusion.

Life at sea is always less and more separated, and Kane has made up his mind that when this mission is officially over, he will return to the western seas to suppress the rebellion that has taken place there, and never sail like this again.
