Chapter 199: Astral Pillar
Osilia stopped casting.
Isu broke away from the shadow plane and saw her in the first place.
Because the Transfiguration Ring was lent to Wren, today Osilia has no disguise on her face, showing amazing beauty, and her mysterious temperament has a bit of coldness, which is enough to attract the attention of all men in the world.
Izu didn't wait for Wren to introduce him, he took the initiative to lift his hood, showing a handsome face, and made a gentlemanly salute with his left hand on his chest, and said politely: "Beautiful lady, I'm Izu Ezio, I wonder if I have the honor to ask for the lady's name?"
Osiria snorted softly, but didn't respond.
Wren glared at Ysu with some dissatisfaction, this is digging his own wall in front of him, although Osilia and he are just ordinary friends, but it is too unkind to do so.
This guy, no wonder the elf bustard of the pink foal calls him an old pervert!
"Ysso. Wren got up and stopped the Phantom Assassin, and asked directly, "Did you have any news for me?"
"Yes, hehe!" Isu sneered at Wren's displeasure.
He sensed the aura of danger in this stunning beauty, and he was cold and arrogant, and he didn't want to deal with himself, so he stayed away from her very wisely, and replied: "Your Excellency, I have found a place, and you should be interested. ”
"Where?" Wren perked up, he didn't expect Isu to be so efficient.
I thought it would take at least a month or two to hear from you, but it only took ten days.
Isu glanced hesitantly at Osiria and saw that Wren did not mean to avoid her, and continued, "At sea. ”
"In the past few days, I have been squatting in the port of Jungong to investigate, eavesdropping, going out to sea with three ships, and making sure that they have no problem and disembarking and returning. ”
"Until the day before yesterday, they finally locked on a cargo ship of the Pumore family, and after they left the port, they suddenly deviated from the course for a long time and went to a remote desert island. There was a small hidden pier on that island, and the cargo ships docked for half a day and then left, returning to their normal course. ”
Hearing this, Wren was basically sure that Isu was not looking for the wrong place.
"Have you ever visited the island?"
"There are legendary wizards on that island, and there are multiple rune arrays arranged, and I was afraid that there would be traps, so I didn't land on the island, and came back directly. Isu replied calmly.
Wren nodded, understanding Izu's caution.
He and Osiria glanced at each other, immediately understood her thoughts, and turned back, "How did you get back and forth at sea, can you take us to that island?"
"If it's just the two of you, it's fine. Izuy pouted and whistled.
A dark shadow emerged in front of him, a handsome falcon that seemed to emerge from the shadow plane and landed on Izu's shoulder, its claws firmly standing.
The black eagle is not large, less than half a meter tall, its wings are as black as ink, its beak and talons are grayish-white, and there is no third color, even in the midday sun, it is not really visible, and is always shrouded in a faint shadow.
"His name is Senu, it's my closest companion, and it takes us out to sea. Izu stroked the Black Hawk's feathers affectionately.
Wren's soul eye saw where the black eagle came from.
This is a Shado Black Hawk, a bird born in the shadow plane, with a variety of shadow-related abilities, their real size is actually very large, but they usually like to shrink, and they look like ordinary eagles.
This is the case in front of you, it has the strength of a high-level demon soul.
And, Wren saw in its soul a faint dotted line connecting to Ysso. This shows that it has signed a soul contract with Ysso.
Soul Contracts are most commonly found in the Revenant.
This kind of contract can make both parties communicate with each other, get a part of the elements of the other party, which is of great benefit to both parties, once the contract is reached, it is difficult to dissolve, sometimes more intimate and strong than the relationship between husband and wife.
The famous dragon knight is actually a transcendent who has signed a soul contract with the dragon.
"I'm going to get ready and I'm going to go. ”
Wren found Sicarius and Emilys in the castle and told them to keep the castle safe.
Emilys realizes what Wren is going to do and offers to follow, but Wren refuses.
This matter has nothing to do with her, and it is not within the scope of the employment contract, so there is no need to involve her. And with his own departure, there needs to be someone in the territory who can suppress everyone, including the Dragonstone Mercenary Regiment, and Emilys is the best candidate.
Back in the study, Wren saw Izu, teasing Shado Black Hawk while trying to talk to Osiria.
For some reason, Osiria has a lot of opinions about Izu, and no matter what he says, he never responds to anything.
Wren secretly laughed, entered the door and said, "Let's go, you can go." ”
Osiria immediately cast a spell, opened a portal, and walked in first, seemingly not wanting to stay with Issudo for a second.
Isu muttered a few times in frustration and followed through the door.
On the opposite side of the portal was on an uninhabited beach, and Isu raised his hand and threw it up, and the black eagle of Xia Duo spread its wings and took off, its shadow swelled, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a behemoth with a wingspan of more than twelve meters.
The huge wings vibrate, and the sand and rocks fly on the seaside, covering the sky and the sun.
Ysso's figure flickered and sat on the back of the eagle, Wren jumped on it, and Osilia sat on the other side of him, deliberately keeping Wren between himself and Ys.
"Senu, fly!"
Isu shouted softly, and the giant eagle violently vibrated its wings and soared into the sky.
The Black Hawk was very fast, climbing upwards at a rapid pace, like a fighter jet rushing into the clouds, before maintaining a smooth flight.
Wren is no stranger to flying mounts, having learned how to ride a griffon, but riding a giant eagle feels very different from a griffon.
The speed difference between the two is more than double.
The Black Eagle of Xia Duo has no focus on his back, and if he is not careful, he will slide down.
If it weren't for the power of an invisible shadow blocking the air currents in the sky, I'm afraid few people would have been able to sit still, and a gust of wind would have blown away all the people on its back.
"This Xia Duo Black Eagle is really good, the size is scaled, you can take it with you at any time, it flies steadily and fast, the panoramic sunroof, the flight experience is better than taking a plane!"
Wren admired in his heart, and he had to get a flying mount himself if he had the chance.
He looked down, and after a moment, all that remained was the endless sea, and occasionally he came across one or two ships sailing on the sea, the size of the palm of his hand.
Looking ahead, the sea level is slightly curvature.
It rises in the middle and falls on both sides.
This phenomenon made Wren realize in his heart that the main material realm where he was located was probably the form of a planet as a whole.
As the sun drifts all the way, the sun gradually turns westward.
Wren roughly estimated the bearing and speed, and after a short half-day flight, he was now almost more than 500 kilometers away from the coastline.
If you keep flying in this direction, you should enter the central part of the Endless Sea.
Crossing the Endless Sea will lead to the New World, but that's not something that the Black Eagle can do. Not to mention a high-level bird, even a giant dragon would have a hard time crossing the dangerous and vast Endless Sea.
Soon after, it was completely dark.
"It's almost there. ”
Aesar spoke, causing the Black Hawk to lower its altitude and begin to search the sea. However, after searching for more than half an hour, he did not see the desert island he said.
"It should be around here, I figured out the direction and distance. ”
Isu explained, looking up to compare the position of the starry sky, and scratching the short beard on her chin a little embarrassed.
Wren was not in a hurry, and comforted: "There is no reference at sea, unless it is a seasoned crew, it is normal to get lost." ”
He opened the Eye of the Soul and helped in the search.
With each upgrade, or soul transformation ritual, the vision distance of the soul eye increases, and now it is on the sea again, there is nothing to obstruct, and Wren can see things as far as thirty kilometers away.
A moment later, a black dot appeared in view.
Wren locks on to zoom in, a cargo ship that is sailing in the direction of the Endless Sea.
"There's a boat over there, go over and take a look. He pointed in the direction, followed by Izu and Osiria, but saw nothing.
The Black Hawk turned to fly, and after a few minutes, the two finally saw the ship.
"You can see it from so far away!"
Isu thought it was incredible, he established a soul contract with Xia Duo Black Hawk, obtained the "Eagle Eye" element, and after years of training, he reached level five, and he thought that in terms of eyesight, few people could compare with him, even among the legendary transcendents, he was the top, and he had always been extremely proud.
turned out to encounter such a pervert.
From this flight distance, Wren's field of vision is at least twice as high as his own, and it is still at night!
"How many levels of his hawkeye are there?" Isu guessed in his heart.
Osilia didn't speak, but kept looking at Wren, surprised by his super eyesight.
Wren smiled and didn't respond, he could already see the ship in front of him at such a close distance. It was a cargo ship, without a flag, and the name on the outside of the ship's side was deliberately covered with canvas.
The cargo ship had a deep draft and was clearly loaded with cargo.
"It should be the Palmor family's cargo ship," Wren said, making a judgment, "and it's going to that desert island, too." ”
Isu nodded, "That's right, it looks like the ship the day before yesterday." ”
"We don't have to follow the boat, let's go to the island first. Wren said.
"Good. ”
Izu immediately told the eagle to adjust its flight direction, hide in the darkness, and fly towards the front of the cargo ship.
Soon, a small island appeared on the surface of the sea.
It covers an area of only two or three square kilometers, the island is high on one side and low on the other, the shape is an irregular crescent, the vegetation is very small, only a small number of weeds cover the gravel, and the whole picture can be seen clearly from the sky, which is very desolate.
Isu pointed to the higher end of the desert island, "There's a rune circle down there, covering the docks. ”
"I saw it. ”
Wren stared intently, the rune circle did not work in his eyes, and a rudimentary dock was exposed.
The dock was made of logs and could only accommodate one boat, and behind it was a steep rock wall with a tall hole carved out of it.
High up in the cliff, there are several hidden sentinels.
The sentry is camouflaged with rocks and weeds, and guards are hidden inside, who occasionally look out to sea with binoculars and maintain a high level of vigilance.
"It's good to come at night, the Black Eagle is a shadow creature, and it's hard to spot in the dark, otherwise, we'd already be exposed. ”
After thinking about it, Wren said, "Let's go down and get closer to see if there's a chance to get in." ”
The three of them deliberated, and Osilia began to cast a spell.
She blessed everyone with flying and unleashed invisibility on herself and Wren. Izu patted the Black Eagle of Shado's back, and it immediately shrank and entered the shadow plane with Isu.
Wren and Osiria slowly fly towards the desert island.
Izu, on the other hand, followed in the shadow plane.
A few minutes later, the three of them had already reached the sea outside the dock, and more than ten meters further they would enter the range of the rune circle.
Wren probed a few times and shook his head inwardly.
This rune circle is very cleverly arranged, not only to obscure the view, but also to combine vigilance to prevent anyone from sneaking in.
Isu was able to enter through the shadow plane, but once he appeared, he would trigger the circle.
Wren didn't study the rune circle, and threw a look at Osiria beside him, asking if she had a way to crack it.
As a result, Osilia had a very surprised expression on her face, as if she had discovered something unusual.
Wren was a little baffled.
It took him a few seconds to realize that Osiria was invisible at the moment, and he shouldn't be able to see her.
"I rubbed, exposed!"
Wren was helpless, he was too focused on exploring the docks, but he ignored it.
But now is not the time to care, and there is no point in pretending not to see Osiria, Wren simply looked at her generously, and cast an inquiring gaze again.
Osiria's chest heaved and there was a hint of shame in her eyes.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that she regained her composure, shaking her head to indicate that there was nothing she could do.
Wren didn't know if she really couldn't help it, or if she was angry with herself, so she could only step back a little and carefully observe the dock, trying to find a flaw.
On the sea, the cargo ship headed towards a desert island, slowly slowing down and preparing to anchor.
A group of numb-looking workers ran out of the hole in the cliff wall, and they were driven by a few transcendent beings to the dock to unload their goods.
The strength of these transcendents is quite good, one high-level wizard, two mid-level iron guards, and the remaining three are mid-level gunners.
With their strength, they easily suppressed the workers who were just ordinary people.
Wren glanced back and forth between the cargo ship and the docks, his eyes lit up, and he thought of a solution.
He opened his mouth to speak to Osiriya, but did not make a sound, and gestured with his mouth, "Follow the cargo ship to the island." ”
Osiria nodded in understanding.
The two flew towards the cargo ship, clinging to the side of the ship, without making a sound.
The cargo ship quickly entered the range of the rune circle and successfully docked, and the two of them did not trigger the alarm of the circle.
"It worked. ”
Wren was overjoyed, but this was only the first step.
A captain-like figure jumped out of the cargo ship, and briefly exchanged a few words with the high-ranking wizard on the dock, the two were obviously unfamiliar, one was only responsible for delivery, and the other was responsible for receiving.
The sailors began to unload the cargo, and they carried large boxes off the ship and on the docks, where the workers carried them into the caves.
Wren and Osilia blended into the ranks of the workers, stealthily following behind the two workers and entering the cave.
Passing through the wide and long passage, all the way down, the eyes suddenly opened up.
It's a huge underground space.
The entire cave was excavated by hand, with a height of more than 30 meters, and the widest point was more than 100 meters, and it was generally an irregular column, coming out of the passage and following a spiral step, leading to the bottom of the cave.
The walls around it were filled with caves for dwellings and storage warehouses.
Judging by the traces of excavation, this place must have existed for many years.
However, what shocked Wren the most was that there was a huge and complex rune circle carved on the ground beneath the cave.
At this moment, there was a legendary wizard standing in the middle of the runes, injecting soul power to activate the magic circle.
The entire circle flowed with arcane energy, and thousands of large runes were activated, lit up, and finally injected into a crystalline gem floating in the middle of the circle.
You can't tell what color the brilliant gemstone is, but it seems to contain infinite starlight, which makes it impossible to look at it directly.
Wren immediately recognized that this was an astral pillar!
This rare gem from the astral plane can be used to build ultra-long-distance teleportation circles, and even open otherworldly doors to other planes.
Wren secretly observed the rune circle as he followed the workers down.
As the magic circle continued to inject soul power, the energy converged, the astral crystal pillar became brighter and brighter, and the entire cave shook slightly, and the space in the middle of the magic circle was opened, and a tall portal appeared that shone brightly!
Behind the portal, you can vaguely see that it is also an enclosed space.
Wren's eyes widened, trying to see the other side of the portal, and he followed the worker carrying the wooden box to the rune circle, getting closer and closer to the legendary wizard.
After the legendary wizard opened the portal, he didn't have to maintain it anymore, and his face relaxed.
He glanced at the laborious workers twice, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, move everything in, if you delay things, be careful that I pick your skin!"
