Chapter Twenty-Three: The Truth of the "Sea of Clouds".

"Lord Sham......" Wei saluted to the Lord of Yunyong, after all, Sham, the Lord of Yunyong, was a legendary mage, and his status was still above him, "You should still be in the ...... of the French State"

"There is no need for me to be there," said Sham calmly, "and I have come here to supervise the war." Eternal Blood...... You're still the manager, but if you need help, it's okay. ”

"Tell me the truth," said Goert lazily, "he was about to ask the Speaker for a few days, and had some personal business to do. ”

Wei glared at Goth, but Goth was unmoved.

Sham looked at Goth, his eyes hesitant, but finally calmed down. Wei felt that his emotions seemed to be a little strange.

"Just tell me about this kind of thing," said Sham softly, "and for a few days, I don't think the speaker will have any opinion." In case, you can't come back on time, don't worry...... I will convey it to Speaker Nicholas on your behalf, asking him for a few days. ”

"That's very good." Goeth said vaguely, pulling Wei and leaving. He always felt that Sham was staring at him, and Sham gave him a familiar feeling.

Wei suddenly regretted a little, he had just told Li Jie that he was leaving. Should, at least in more detail......

But Wei, who was afraid that the Lord of Yunyong would change his mind and became interested in his secret, finally did not turn back.

"You've hurt me." He whispered to Goth.

Sham waited until Wei and Goth's backs disappeared from sight. The officers and soldiers around him looked at him cautiously, not knowing why he was in a daze.

Suddenly, the youngest legendary mage in Elrios sighed.

"That's it." He whispered to himself.

……

Lijie lost her temper in the tent.

She thought that Lévy had brought some great reinforcements for her, but it turned out to be so.

And the Lord of the Clouds, the traitor of Elrios! How could he agree to Wei's sudden departure? Even if you're a legendary mage, ......

Even her loyal lieutenant Meria was sent to the rear by the "Pale Moon" and the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" for a reason...... It seems to say that she has a good relationship with the church or something.

"I remember you! Errios! ”

Lijie didn't think Wei was wrong. He would leave suddenly, and naturally these mysterious mages were responsible for it.

But I can't leave them now......

……

Erios French State, on the outskirts of Gottlieb.

"Sooner or later, the Speaker will know that we are here." Wei said.

Goth did not answer. After the two arrived through the portal, Goth led Wei through the rolling woods.

"It's coming soon." Goth replied to the question, his gaze drifting over the squirrel in the treetops.

The two walked into a glade.

"Say, Star of the Stars," Wei stared at the seemingly empty clearing, "what are you hiding here?" ”

He also possessed the ability to cast arcane powers, but did not notice any unnatural arcane fluctuations.

But...... This empty white land still made him feel a little unnatural.

Goth smiled.

"Out." He whispered, gesturing.

“……!”

Wei was dumbfounded.

He guessed that there was something wrong with this flat land, but he didn't expect that there was such a big thing hidden here......

It was a huge "building" at least three stories high.

The silver-white walls do not see a single brick or tile, and the streamlined and integrated form is like a small palace, but it gives people an indescribable incomparably exquisite beauty.

Goth was pleased with Wei's expression.

"It's not a product of the Cloud Continent," Goth said triumphantly, "and we discovered it by chance." It's ......"

Wei took a deep breath. No matter how he says that he is also an earthling, he doesn't need Goth's explanation of this move.

"A spaceship." Wei said.

"You know?" Goth was surprised, "That's right. It looks like a building, but inside it is a clever powerplant, as long as it is ......"

"A vehicle that can fly, and it doesn't rely on arcane powers, is something that is already in my hometown," Wei said gloomily, not telling Goth that this form of spacecraft exists in science fiction, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be used in the plane ......"

Wei pondered his words: "No. It's the universe...... Here, or is it better to use the word astral plane? All in all, the travel between the stars ......"

Gothic was amazed.

"It's a soulless person from another world...... The insight is extraordinary. However, the use of the term 'astral boundary' is less likely to be confused than 'astral boundary'. ”

"In the Cloud Era, it is difficult to travel in the Star Realm," Wei said, "and this should be before the Cloud Age...... In the distant age of the gods, the remnants of the outside creatures who visited this world. Am I right? Stars of the Stars. ”

"Looks like your home world is even more powerful than I thought," Goth said, the bald star popping into his mind, but luckily it wasn't left by the bastard, "I thought it would take a bit of a conversation." In short, it's good that you understand...... Come on, let's start it. ”

"Going to an alien planet?" Wei made a rare joke. He knew where they were going.

"We can't fly," said Goth, "and we'll go under the clouds." ”

-----------------------

"Huh?" Nicholas in the ashram suddenly frowned.

"Speaker?" Mr. King, who was sitting across from Nicholas and was telling Nicholas about the subjugation of the southern nations, was a little strange.

"The ship that remained in Murcha Norway ......," said Speaker Nicholas, "the ban was broken." ”

He had long known about the existence of such a spaceship as the French Nation, and wanted to get his hands on it. It's just that after the occupation of Elrios, there were many affairs, and Speaker Nicholas only confirmed the existence of the "silver building" on the ground, and re-established a simple prohibition, without risking to explore the ......

"Who is it?" Mr. Kim said urgently.

"It was eternal blood," said Nicholas, "and he succeeded." The 'stars of the stars' of the city of Palamedes joined us as he said, only...... Strange conditions were prescribed. ”

Because Goth made the world forget about him...... Everyone's information about him is sorely lacking. Even though Nicholas was wary of Goth, it was inevitable that he would not be overlooked.

"Now that I think about it, it's not the old-fashioned Pure White City mages who have repaired this astral travel ship, but Palamedes or one of his students," Nicholas said, "and now it's in our hands...... Naturally, they want to keep getting it back. Instead, it's the 'Pale Moon' and the 'Emperor of the Eternal Night'......"

"When things are over from my side," Mr. King said, "I'll spy on them." ”

Lord of the Clouds, Pale Moon, Emperor of the Eternal Night......

These defectors from Erios have their own agendas. For a short time, they were wary of each other not enough to shake Okard, but after a long time...... No one can say for sure, but it's better to separate them.

"There's only one thing I'm worried about right now," said Nicholas, "and the astral traveling ship must be able to ......."

"You can't fly." Mr. Kim shook his head. Traveling in the Star Realm, even legendary mages like them can't do it in the Cloud Age, and they can't do it with the help of the products of the Age of the Gods!

"At least this thing doesn't rely on the sea of clouds to provide energy, unlike spellcasters like us, who get too close to the sea of clouds and will be warned by the sea of clouds, as long as you can walk in the sea of clouds...... Eternal Blood will probably understand the nature of the sea of clouds. I'm worried that this will be for him...... It's too early. ”

"He is your heir," said Mr. King, "and sooner or later he will understand." ”

……

And as they spoke, the silver spaceship was slowly sailing into a huge sea of clouds.

To Goth's slight surprise, Wei showed good adaptation to the ship. Except when he first entered the ship, he hunched down and studied the white floor ("The floor, walls, and ceiling are completely one. He said. It was like it wasn't his first time visiting.

……

in the control room.

"So that's the truth?" Wei said softly.

It's not like when the girl and Dimi fall into the sea of clouds. Wei and Goth, who are located in the silver spaceship and are protected by the spaceship...... They are extremely conscious.

Both of them felt it more clearly...... The feeling of "contact" with the sea of clouds.

"You already knew, didn't you?" Wei said.

"That's right, every legendary mage knows ......" Goth stood in front of the console full of buttons, but there wasn't much he could maneuver in a badly damaged ship, "sometimes their most trusted disciples know ......"

"The so-called sea of clouds is...... A living thing. ”

"It keeps the continent floating, and also makes its climate suitable for the survival of civilization."

"Reintegrate the shattered, unstable nets, weaken some of the powerful spells that can't be maintained, and ensure that arcane spellcasters can cast spells smoothly."

"Feel the feelings of the casters of the magic, answer their prayers, and offer them the ...... of the magic"

"And ...... Our everything. In place of the ancient gods, protecting the last refuge ......"

"The sea of clouds is a living thing. The world's last godhead creature. ”

Wei didn't speak for a long time.

"It's just that it doesn't seem to be a real god," he said after a long time, "and it has 'rules' that don't give a person two systems of spelling, and that a soulless person like me can rely on loopholes...... There will also be people who don't have much cultivation who suddenly awaken a powerful divine technique, because divine magic does not rely on fixed procedures so much, and Yunhai doesn't know if that special feeling comes from the ...... of the church."

Wei and Goth both realized.

For intelligent beings...... Yunhai's thinking is not so much 'god' as it is just a trained animal.

Faithfully fulfill the orders of the Founder.

Powerful capabilities.

But...... It is not perfect in terms of precision, and can even be exploited by powerful mortals.

"It is precisely because of this that it has been carrying the continent diligently for two thousand years," Goth said, "so that we can live comfortably above the clouds." ”
