Chapter 22: The Legend of the Sea of Clouds
Coastside.
"Huh?"
The girl looked left and right. Lichenda disappeared from her sight at some point.
At this time, the girl changed into a typical North Island female warrior attire, adding elbow pads, wrist pads and knee pads in addition to the black clothes, and carrying a hammer spear and a bag. She didn't need to pack a bag with a dimensional bag, but for the sake of disguise, she still asked "Octopus" for one.
"Queen Mother......" Dimi, who was dressed in light armor, scratched her head, "She wants to act alone." It will definitely appear. ”
These days, the girl, Dimi, and Lichenda have been working together all day long. You must know that even in the court above the clouds, Dimi has never been with Lichenda for so long.
Dimi cherishes this life of traveling with his family. His biological father also traveled around with him like this.
It's just that...... There is an old mother guarding her, and even when she talks to Victoria, she is "stiffened" a lot......
"You don't need the 'mother' or 'mother' to be so formal now," said the girl, "but you're right. It's better for her to walk alone......"
The girl looked very relaxed. Lichenda is haunted, and she may come out of nowhere like a divine soldier at any point.
……
The two chattered and walked along the beach. Dimi was a little surprised when he first saw the endless sea, but now he has adapted to it.
It's just that he's still resistant to getting on the boat - he finds himself a little seasick...... The girl has been laughing at him a lot about this lately.
How can a "perfect body" not cure seasickness? The young swordsman couldn't help but be depressed.
"It's a shame that they can live on these dilapidated islands." Looking at the wreckage of the ship on the beach, Dimi sighed. He would rather live in the desert than in the sea.
"Two thousand years ago, when the flood raged, God raised a third of the continent from the sea......" the girl muttered.
"It's just the church," said Dimi, whose reverence plummeted after witnessing the existence of the world under the clouds, "and they said that there was no one in the world under the clouds anymore." But these people ...... Still strong and living here. ”
"Suppose the continent above is one-third – below...... All that remains are these fragmented islands. ”
The girl estimated that even if the scale of the charts she obtained from the "octopus" was not accurate, the total area of the known islands in the world under the clouds would be at most a fraction of the size of the continent above the clouds.
"There must have been a huge catastrophe at that time." Dimi said.
"You don't think...... What 'Goddess of the Sea' is real, right? The girl's mind conjured up the ritual of the pirates worshipping the "goddess of the sea".
The worship of the world under the clouds is consistent with the remaining clues of the world above the clouds......
It seems that before the age of the cloud...... There are indeed many godheads in the world. Maybe it's just a very powerful creature for mortals and with immortal life.
It's just that...... Where are they now?
"At least here, we don't need esoteric rituals, arcane arts, or divine arts," Dimi said, looking to the end of the sea, "if those legendary ancient gods were still alive...... At the very least, they will be given divine magic to protect their followers. And they do...... It's gone. ”
Either you're dead or you're asleep...... Only futile rituals have been handed down as part of the faith.
"Maybe the story is better than we imagined," the girl said, "maybe the catastrophe was man-made......"
Dimi blinked.
"Maybe the ancient gods came together to raise a third of the continent into the clouds in order to resist the invasion of a powerful enemy," the girl imagined her story, "and then they used the remaining continent and the sea as a battlefield to face the enemy who wanted to destroy the world, so that ordinary people would only see the Great Flood!" ”
If Wei Yuanhe in his previous life had the opportunity to carry it on, there was a high probability that he would write like this.
It's just that...... Is this really the case?
"Victoria...... Let's not talk about where that kind of enemy came from," Dimi thought seriously for a while, "According to what you said, since the world is safe and sound, and people live in the cloud continent safely, there are survivors even in the cloud world...... Then the result of the war should be the final victory of the righteous ancient gods. ”
"That's right."
Dimi hesitated. He liked the story of the battle between good and evil, and he didn't want to go against Victoria.
"If there's anything you want to say, just say it." But the girl still read the fact that he still had "ideas" from Dimi's expression.
"The victorious ancient gods, where have they gone?" Dimi had no choice but to honestly raise his doubts.
"Uh...... Perishing with the enemy? The girl blinked and began to ramble nonsense.
“……”
What the girl said was a magnificent epic, and it would be nice if the truth was so, but ......
"Even those gods, those powers...... "None of them survived, and they could have left a little message to warn the world in advance, right?" However, whether it is on the cloud or here, it is as if they have evaporated directly in the cataclysm......"
"This ......"
The two talked and talked, and unconsciously, in the distance, the shadow of the dock had appeared in the sight of the two.
The temporary base of the target ship regiment was there. Next, just follow the plan pre-designed by Octopus and blend in with the people you want to join.
With the ability of the girl and Dimi, it is undoubtedly easy to pass the "assessment".
And there are already quite a few people gathered near the dock. Most of them are idle North Island warriors, but there are also some sturdy Luo Island natives.
"Stand for me!" A man in heavy armor shouted, he didn't expect these "applicants" to line up honestly, but it seemed that they had to leave it alone, and they themselves started to fight first, "Whoever fights, I will throw him into the sea!" ”
The girl and Dimi looked at each other and joined the crowd.
----------------
Continent on the clouds.
Wei and Goth walked past the Okard barracks. Every officer who saw Wei saluted him.
By this time it had spread among the army...... This "Eternal Blood" is Okad's future successor!
Wei Man's heart was full of the news that Goth had just arrived.
[If you deceive me......] Wei quietly summoned the message, [I won't give up. 】
[What good will it do me if I deceive you? Got let out a long sigh.
[There are many benefits. Wei sneered.
Goth's story was incredible. But......
"Even if it's a bait, it's worth a try." Wei Mo thought.
Maybe it's the irritation of failure...... His strength has improved again.
But it's this last step of improvement...... It made him aware of some facts that he had not been able to perceive before.
In order to answer the doubts in his heart, this risk is worth taking.
[It is a big crime for the boss to say goodbye without saying goodbye,] Wei had mixed emotions in his heart, but he remained silent on the surface, [Please allow me to ask the speaker to resign. 】
"Then you don't have to...... Goth said, "Look. 】
A handsome figure in a white robe approached them.
"Lord of the Clouds!" Wei immediately recognized his identity.
