Chapter 389: The Left Hand Is My Good Friend
After exchanging names, the two talked briefly for a while.
Most of the time, it was Evan who said, and Miss Moonstone listened as if listening to a report from her subordinates, and only occasionally replied with a few words.
But all the topics get around the minefields that could involve each other's core secrets.
The most constructive result was that after recognizing each other's strengths, the two successfully established a temporary offensive and defensive alliance.
After all, the beacon anchorage between each other has been solidified by an intrinsic mysterious connection, and if they encounter a crisis situation in the future, no one can escape, as sane wizards, they will obviously make the most correct choice.
"Miss Moonstone, please advise me in the future!"
"Of course!"
Well, except for this way of speaking that I don't know what politeness is, everything else is fine.
Of course, as for the reason why they will still be close to each other in the previous world changes, for the time being, neither of them has delved deeply, and this level of mysterious connection must involve the core secrets of the other party.
Asking a wizard this kind of question is a hundred times more serious than the consequences of meeting a strange woman and directly asking each other about their age, weight, and measurements.
In addition, it is even more impossible to test each other's identity and position in the material world.
However, when Evan suggested that the two of them try to enter the spirit world from the dream at a fixed time every day.
And chose the famous Cylius Treasure Fleet set sail - the New World Dios Port time nine o'clock in the evening, that is, his own Hataffa port 10 o'clock in the evening time as the time of the common arrival.
Miss Moonstone thought for a moment and didn't object.
This also allowed Evan to keenly grasp a bit of key information, and the two may be just as far apart in the east-west longitude.
The Black Sea stretches from west to east spanning almost seven time zones, and even with the twists and turns of the continental coastline, time on the Old World is at least about six hours faster than in the New World.
Of course, entering the spirit world is the most suitable time to fall asleep, and the normal time for ordinary people to fall asleep is usually around eight to twelve o'clock, so it is very likely that Miss Moonstone's time zone is close to her left!
Even on the eastern shore of the New World, perhaps.
However, Ai Wen has no plans to meet "netizens" offline for the time being, and although he has discovered this important information, he has not explored the other party's secrets too much.
Time in the spirit world is precious, and after chatting for a while, the two of them said goodbye to each other and continued their respective spiritual explorations and experiences.
When facing foreign enemies, you can help each other, but you can't count on anyone in the spiritual world except yourself!
Trample.. Trample.. Trample..
On the way back to the upper echelons of the city, the main body was reminiscing about the admonition that Miss Moonstone had just given to him based on what happened today.
"If you encounter a creature like an octopus head in the future, if you offend them, or if you are targeted by them, if you can solve it, you will not leave any of them, and if you can't solve it, you will run away as soon as possible.
It is more appropriate to say that they are human beings in the material world than to be strange spiritual creatures..."
Dream cultist is the name given to those octopus heads.
In the physical world, they may just behave a little weirdly, but they look like most people are normal human beings.
However, when the essence of the soul is exposed in the spirit world, it will all turn into this ugly octopus-headed monster.
Because they believe in the mysterious existence "Source of Nightmares", "Dream Eater", and "Misty Octopus" Hypnos, who constantly shuttles between dreams and spirits, in the form of a gray-white giant octopus with a thousand tentacles and a thousand eyes.
Before He appears, there is a drowsy flute that will continue to fall asleep and fall into deeper dreams, even if he is already in a dream.
According to occult scholars and wizards of the path, this being may be a remnant of the power of an ancient god from ancient times, with a life essence that almost surpasses the level of a demigod.
It is not an exaggeration to say that He is already an important part of the spiritual and dream worlds, just like the stars and clouds in the material world, a natural phenomenon that cannot be separated.
And he does not have a clear and independent mind and personality, but is governed by the collective consciousness of all the devoured.
But he instinctively spreads certain mystical knowledge and spiritual knowledge to his worshippers. Contaminate!
As the power increases, the pollution intensifies, and after the believer has reached the second level of transcendence and has completely transformed into an octopus head, it means that the first stage of the infestation has been completed.
This form gives believers the ability to enter the spiritual realm and move freely, while half of their life essence has been assimilated into spiritual creatures.
Although they can travel back and forth between the physical and spiritual realms for the time being, their human bodies will be alienated and decayed within six to eight years, completely freeing their souls.
And their souls will also enter the spirit realm to become fully formed spirit creatures, serving the dream octopus god forever before their consciousness dies!
Obviously, there is no detailed mention of this in The Rite of Flesh, only the isolated name of "Source of Nightmares".
After three or four hundred years, the spiritual knowledge recorded in the inheritance secret scroll can still be referred to in the basic part, such as the rules of the spiritual world, common sense of survival, etc., but the description of the creatures and forces living in it is too outdated.
At thirty-six times the speed of time, three or four hundred years in the outside world means that at least ten thousand years have passed in the spirit world.
Although the "Prophecy School" has a coherent inheritance and Milan is willing to share it with him for free, it is obviously not as effective as the theory and practice of Miss Moonstone in the material world outside.
Regardless, in this alliance, Evan felt that he had earned it.
......
The next day, Aven, who had been out of the spirit world, woke up early.
He is ready to practice his newly acquired complete version of [Thunder Swordsmanship] in the material world!
And his own herald, Owl Beth, informed himself early in the morning with good news.
Since the recruitment order for the members of the pirate group was issued, the first official knight finally came to take refuge.
But.
Before he could get to the solo training ground that he had opened up for himself independently in Port Hatrafa to complete the practice of his new swordsmanship, he was attracted by a commotion in the field of the Colonel.
Crackle, crackle, crack....
The sound of the rapid impact of the wooden sword used for training was as fierce as the rain hitting the plantain, and there were already two people in the school field who turned into afterimages and fought together.
The strong wind stirred up the dust, and it was obviously already an official knight-level duel.
Many members of the pirate group who got up early to train on the island watched from afar, not daring to get close to the warband.
The high-speed movement of the two people dodged made the onlookers dizzy, but in front of Ai Wen, it was a delicate appearance, seeing who the two people in the battle were, Ai Wen raised his eyebrows slightly, and said to himself with interest:
"It's really a foreign country, I didn't expect that in that bad desperate situation, this guy is still alive?
After a year, I even came to the New World to join my dragoon pirate regiment?
The two people in the battle, one was Baldwin, who had just completed the transformation of the "Skin-Worn Man" yesterday, and at this time he had already shown the form of a half-human, half-shark.
Reaching a height of two meters, the bare upper body has blue-black muscles like hard granite, and the back is slightly bowed to protrude the shark's dorsal fin and a long spike.
The face with fine shield scales that seemed to be wearing a mask also elongated to a certain extent, and when the mouth was opened, the corners of the mouth were already grinning behind the ears, and the layers of white sharp teeth were no different from a real shark.
Apparently after becoming a Skinman, he has changed radically from the form he once wore only a layer of shark skin.
The strength is even more because he has inherited seventy percent of the power of the demonized horn shark, and he has already jumped close to the senior level!
Even if it is extremely difficult to grow in strength in the future, it does not prevent him from being strong now.
And the one who was fighting him was an old pirate with curly blond hair and a vicissitudes of life, who was already about fifty years old.
Apparently he was the first official knight to take refuge in Bessy's mouth!
However, for Ai Wen, he is not a stranger who does not know the roots, so he sighed before.
"Previously in the 'Navy Nova Project', the former captain of the 'Demon Monkey' pirate ship who was overthrown by his own crew - Alec. ”
Although the two had not officially met before this, when Evan had just obtained the "Storm Horn", he personally ordered the "Demon Monkey" pirate ship that betrayed each other to be violently sunk.
At that time, Evan only glanced at the guy who was seriously injured by the crew and lying on the beach of the isolated island waiting to die through the seabird reconnaissance network.
Coupled with the iconic monkey squeaking around the edge of the school grounds, it's not hard to confirm his identity (Chapter 229).
But now that he is alive and jumping here, it also makes Evan a little curious.
Compared to Baldwin, the old pirate Alec is clearly a normal transcendent knight, although his rank is not high, and his physical fitness is slightly inferior.
However, with his rich experience and proficiency in Secy's scimitar technique, he fought a draw with the strong Baldwin.
However, the old pirate, who had obviously come to show his strength, was unwilling to simply fight a draw.
When Evan arrived, the battle between the two changed again.
Bang –
After the blades are exchanged, they leap backwards with the help of force.
From Aven's angle, it was clear that he opened his left hand towards Baldwin, revealing a pocket-sized human face in the palm of his hand, as handsome as white marble.
"That's....!"
Aven's eyes narrowed slightly.
Just listen to the old pirate Alec's mouth shouting:
"Sparrow, quicksand attack!"
The eyes of the human face in the palm of his hand suddenly opened, revealing two eyes with black pentagram pupils.
First, he opened his mouth and complained in a young man's voice: "Old man, every time you think of me in a fight, you promised me that you would let me eat meat and drink wine every day!"
However, the reaction speed of the human face is not slow at all.
syrt——
The incantation sounded like the echo of the dry silence of the great desert.
Poof!poof!poof...
The yellow sand suddenly rose from the school field under his feet, constantly twisting and stretching, like seven or eight pythons, and pounced on the opposite side of Bedwin.
But Baldwin, who has completed his official transcendent transformation, is no longer the same at this time.
Teng –
Dodging and jumping back, the large mouth full of sharp teeth opened, and the special structure in the mouth suddenly shot out a snow-white ultra-high-speed waterline.
呲——!
【Quasi-Spell: White Wave Shock!】
This inherited from the ability of the demonized horn shark, which easily cut off the sand snake's lazy waist, and after being wet by the water, the sand instantly lost its agility just now, and it was paralyzed into a ball.
At this time, Baldwin, who had also participated in the fierce battle of the "Tomb of Dry Bones", had already reflected what he had just faced.
Although he had never seen the old pirate Alec, he knew what the face in his hand was, and it was clearly the stitched leg that was originally on the chest of the great pirate Bassem!
'Is this revenge?!'
At the same time that Baldwin's face changed drastically, he had already issued an order to the surrounding pirates:
"Someone take him down for me!"
