Act XXXVI: The Storm's Route I
"Alright, now it's my turn to ask questions."
"Let's talk about verdant." White Mist spoke.
β¦β¦
Brando naturally didn't know anything about the private conversation between Andesa and White Mist.
After the Frost Singer Sina repaired, the combined fleet of four Tirmoths was ordered by Tata to turn and sail towards the Sea of Thunder, and half a day later, they followed the path of light into the outer reaches of the Sea of Thunder.
The scenery on the sea has changed.
The vast white fog in the sea of bones has gradually dissipated, and the stone pillars have gradually disappeared from the sea, and the time period on the sea seems to have moved from day to night, the blue sky has disappeared, and the white clouds on the horizon can no longer be seen, and a bright galaxy hangs in the sky, and the same scenery is reflected in the sea.
Beneath the surface of the sea became dark and dreary, as if in the universe, and the starlight was a thousand times brighter than in Vaughnde's atmosphere.
Brando's sword stood at the bow of the ship and watched the mesmerizing scenery, and in his eyes the sea in the distance had broken apart and become uneven, but the flow of the sea seemed to be unreasonable, and the waves flowed from low to high and from high to low, unaffected by the laws of gravity.
Some strange creatures he couldn't name roamed through the water, and when he looked at them, the menu that popped up in the system showed that most of these strange creatures were level 66 to 70, and they were all elemental creatures.
Some of them were still out of the sea, 'swimming' in the air like birds, but most of them didn't get too close to the fleet, and only watched the Tirmoths curiously from afar, and some of them made long, crisp whale-like calls.
Soon, even the traditional sea began to die. The majestic dividing line between the shallow sea and the void is presented in front of everyone's eyes.
It was as if it were a straight cliff, from which the water elemental detached from the surface of the sea, swam forward into the endless void, and gradually disappeared. Or the magic surging in the chaos, after passing through a glittering web-like barrier, is reduced to the form of a turquoise water element. Blend into the seawater.
When the real side of this world is displayed in front of everyone, even the Tirmothians can't help but hold their breath.
Not to mention Brando.
And on this strange sea, there is only one path of light that runs through it for eternity, and the fleet sails on this wide path of light, unaffected by the changes in the surrounding environment.
Brando gazed at the passage of eternal light, and knew in his heart whether he should be amazed by the magnificence of the Tiamat Laws or the feat of the conquest of nature by the ancestors of the Tirmoths.
This is the real edge of the world.
It's just that this sea area is a little inconsistent with the name of the Sea of Thunder, and he hasn't seen the reason why this route is called the Great Storm Route.
He was about to turn around and ask Miss Fairy or White Mist. only to find that Root had come to his side. The little goblin sat on the side of the ship beside him with the scabbard of the Flame Blade on his back, his feet hanging on the side of the ship, and he didn't seem to be afraid of falling into the void, and his short golden red hair that burned up looked particularly dazzling in the dark night.
"Have you tried Sinna the Frost Singer, Flame Blade's Favorite?"
"Tried." Brando nodded.
"How?" Rout looked up at him and asked seemingly indifferently, but the anticipation in his eyes betrayed him: "Is it much worse than the Holy Sword Odysphes?" β
"Actually, you don't have to care, after all, the significance of the shallow sea sword as a symbol is far greater than its actual role as a holy sword. This is very different from the Flame Blade. β
"Our holy sword is not just the cornerstone of the fire elemental world, it is also a weapon for your mortals. It is also one of the best. β
ββ¦β¦β
Brando thought to himself, well, it's pretty much the same.
Like the Holy Sword Odysphes, Sina is immune to elemental damage, and its traits are Winter Wrath and Calm Order; Blue Fury is an enhanced version of Xinna's original Combat skill, which has been further enhanced and the number of daily uses has been canceled. However, each attack empties the user's mana pool. Calm Order doubles damage to Chaos creatures and Dark Mana tokens.
As such, this sword is far inferior to the Holy Sword Odysphes in heads-up, but it is also far more effective than the Blade of Fire in group battles and against monsters and dusk seeds.
Judging from the basic attributes of the sword itself, Xinna's attack is lower, but it is lighter as a thin-bladed sword. In other words, it is more dexterous, faster to draw the sword, and more suitable as an off-hand sword, and the added attributes of the sword itself are also biased towards defensive physique, dexterity and will.
If we have to say which is stronger or weaker, then we can only say that there is only a difference in the use environment, and there is no difference between superior and inferior.
"The Flame Blade and Sina have different roles, and besides, I'm actually a dual-wielding swordsman, Root," Brando decided not to offend either side, "so they both serve the same role to me, and both are important." β
"How can it be?" Rutter was a little upset, he criticized: "There is a difference is a difference, good is good, bad is bad, you humans just like to be ambiguous." β
This is faith, and Brando knows that there are always some players on the forums who have to defeat one piece of equipment because they respect a certain artifact. They even formed several factions, such as the Earth Sword Support Association, the Mercury Scepter Strongest Science Alliance, and so on, each of which had a large number of supporters, although most of these artifacts had nothing to do with these people - they were often in the hands of the core members of the Grand Guild, and the latter would not be involved in such frivolous things.
What he didn't expect was that he would meet such an aboriginal faith fan in this world.
In order not to cause a world war, Brando thought about it seriously before he considered: "It's not ambiguous, but it's actually exactly what it is, like a knife and a sword, a gun and a halberd, it's hard to tell who is better between them, isn't it?" β
But Rout ended the question with a simple judgment: "Of course the sword is the best, no doubt." β
"Well," Brando understood, that he was doing useless work, and he replied in a good manner, "if I had to discuss it seriously, it was indeed Odyspheus who was slightly stronger than the Holy Sword." β
As he spoke, he looked back at Miss Tata and smiled at him, as if to say, "It's okay, I'll pretend I didn't hear it."
But our little subject of Fcedes did not seem satisfied, and he replied with some disdain: "I know that you are giving them face, but in fact it is much worse. β
Brando couldn't help but laugh, and secretly decided that if he had the opportunity, he would try to use Sina the Double Chant as little as possible in front of the chattering 'His Royal Highness the Prince'.
Seeing that Rout still wanted to speak, he hurriedly interrupted the other party first, "Let's talk about the Sea of Thunder, Rute." β
"Oh."
Rout let out an 'oh' with a little dissatisfaction and asked, "What do you want to know?" β
Brando looked into the void in the distance and asked, "Why is this called the Sea of Thunder?" β
"I see, do you think that there is neither thunder nor storm in this sea, so you think it is a bit unworthy of the name?"
Brando nodded, looking at the former.
"Then you're too worried, Flame Blade," replied Root, "and that's because we're still on the outskirts of this sea, and you don't have to worry about not seeing the storm later." β
"This is where the Magic Tide originated in Vaindeβ" he added.
"No, I'm not worried at all, I wish it didn't show up." Brando thought to himself.
He wasn't a masochist, he took pleasure in pushing the limits, in fact he didn't want to see this so-called storm at all, let alone any magic tide, and now was the time when the millennial tide was rising, and he would be crazy to pray for the storm.
But sometimes bad luck is not subject to human will.
Brando soon understood that in fact, whether the storm would appear or not was not determined by whether he wanted it to appear, but by whether it would appear.
In fact, the storm came quickly.
Brando was chatting with the little prince of the fire elves, so to speak, and the sea was calm, and he thought it would be a long time before he entered the stormy passage.
But suddenly, a clarion call spread through the hearts of all the people on board:
"We're on a storm course, ready to lower our sails!"
He suddenly looked up, only to see a bright purple light flickering in the deepest part of the void at the end of the path of light. The place seemed to be far away, but the boat group was moving so fast that the scenery around it changed in an instant.
First, he saw that the space to the left and right of the ship was misaligned. It was like a floating fish scale, but it didn't have any color, it seemed to be transparent, but Brando knew that it was a vortex of time and space, which only appeared in the turbulence of the law.
He saw that his scalp was numb, and the boat group was going to plunge headlong into the fault line of the law, afraid that he would die in the blink of an eye, no matter if he was a sage or something else, not to mention that he was not a sage.
This is possible because this is the very edge of the Tiamat Laws, where the laws of life and death are not complete by the erosion of darkness and chaos, and in fact the laws of the outer world are in the process of shattering and collapsing, reforming and regenerating at any time, and the derivatives are these scenes that make mortals feel desperate at the sight of it.
Purple lightning soon appeared in the spatial turbulence, and these snaking lightning bolts seemed to propagate through the void without any medium, and Brando saw them hit a Void Ray that seemed to be twisted and sucked into a whirlpool that collapsed in front of him into a black dot the size of a pinpoint, and then disappeared again.
