Chapter 268: "Eyes" and "Eyelids"

The time set by Mologli was exactly what Liu Li wanted, with seven days enough for him to make a round trip to the "Eye of the Storm", give the concocted gem to Fei Li, and confirm that the purple-haired assassin girl had fused it with the "Wind King's Pupil".

"Your Excellency 'Tide Rider', is it convenient to go to the 'Eye of the Storm' now?"

"Don't be so polite, you can get the general's token and call me by my name directly. When Mologli heard that Liu Li had other arrangements, he was stunned for a moment, and then continued: "But the 'eye of the storm'? If you still want to go there, you'd better hurry up, otherwise you may not be able to come back in seven days...... Well, in a moment you can go and ask "Sunny Day" directly...... Oh, it's Carather, the lazy guy sitting in the corner of the hall just now, and see if he can help you find a boat to the Eye of the Storm. ”

......

Sitting quietly in the cabin, Liu Li, who was swaying with the tide, recalled the conversation with Mologri after finalizing the itinerary of the sea tribe trip yesterday, and couldn't help but sigh that his luck was good. This is especially true when you come into contact with Carather, knowing that there is a ship heading to the "eye of the storm" this morning.

This time Liu Li went to sea on a small two-masted sailing ship, the length of the ship is only about 30 meters, the appearance is no different from the eighteenth-century sea ship on the earth, but there is a hole inside, after all, there is such a magical thing as magic in this world.

This is not huge, it can even be called a small and exquisite sailing ship, in addition to sailing normally on the wind, the magic crystal inlaid magic circle can also be used as a source of power. At the same time, the sailboat also has a mid-level defense circle, and two small "ice spear" circles, both offensive and defensive, which are outstanding among ships of its kind, although the craftsmanship is far less than the simple mage tower made by Landolia, but it is still luxurious for a ship.

The name of the brig is "Zephyr", and it is the only vessel of the "Zephyr" sea exploration group. The commander of the Maritime Exploration Regiment is the one who is still idle after retiring, the former chief officer of the flagship of the Third Fleet of the Royal Navy, and a lazy man called "Sunny Day" by Mologri, the "Tide Treader".

"How is it, are you still satisfied?" Just when Liu Li was admiring the calm sea view through the small round window embedded with glass, Carasseur pushed open the door of the cabin without seeing anything, and asked in a familiar tone: "'Zephyr' is the pride of our sea exploration group, you look at her slender and toned body, imagine her splitting the waves, moving towards the end of the world, do you feel a heartbeat?"

"Yes, yes, she's your baby...... But Uncle Carather, the difference between you on the boat and in the tavern is simply too great, and I wouldn't believe it's the same person unless I saw it with my own eyes. Liu Li cried and laughed perfunctorily, the scene of getting up early really scared him, and he still has a sense of absurdity.

These days, except for visiting the Marquis of Feinlais's family, Liu Li spent almost all of her time checking information, and it wasn't until yesterday that she finally got a good night's sleep, resulting in a slightly sluggish mental state when she got up early today.

When he arrived at the seaside tavern in the morning, Carasseur was as lazy as yesterday, until the moment he took Liu Li to the dock and stepped onto the deck of the "Zephyr", his attitude changed abruptly, like a bard, and began to praise "his treasure" in a hymn-like tone with all kinds of flowery rhetoric. This sudden change made Liu Li stunned, and the remaining bit of sleepiness was stunned.

"Of course, there is no place on land to stay on a ship. Every time I set foot on the earth, I feel like my whole person is shaking and dizzy, and I can only feel more comfortable after drinking. Carasseur's answer was very natural, but listening to Liu Li's ears, it made him have a little more respect for this old seafarer who had retired and organized his own maritime exploration group.

"Do you want to come to the deck and see, only on my ship can you see such a calm sea? Since the "Zephyr" left the port, Carasseur's mental state has become more and more excited, and now he has reached the point of extending an invitation to Liu Li, who is not familiar enough.

Liu Li did not refuse Carather's invitation, standing on the deck, he looked into the distance, and the scenery he saw was different from the landβ€”the faint shadows that could be seen in the distance could now be seen, far or near, some still barely visible, and some of which could already be seen as islands. To the east, there are many islands in the Huangyu Empire, and beyond this archipelago area to the east, it is the truly vast sea area.

The farther east, the more sparse the islands become, until there is only an endless ocean between heaven and earth. It was truly boundless, and no one had ever reached the borders of the sea, even if they lived in the sea.

The sea of the Ode continent is generally divided into three parts, the inner archipelago is called the inland sea, the outer abyss to the end of the continental shelf is called the outer sea, and the abyss reaches the end of the world to the east, which is the mysterious endless sea.

Because of the existence of magic, the number of crew members on the expensive "Zephyr" is less than fifty, but all of them are elite. In addition to Captain Carather, who was a martial artist who had cultivated up to the fourth rank and was extremely good at naval warfare, the first mate Tumen and the second mate Lady Marlin were two third-order spellcasters. The two lookouts and boatswain, including about a third of the crew, also possessed the strength of a beginner warrior. This is already several times more than the strength of the average sea exploration group.

"Uncle Carather, what is the plan for 'Zephyr' to go to the 'Eye of the Storm' this time?" Liu Li was a little puzzled, with the strength of the Zephyr Sea Exploration Group, it was not suitable for wandering in the inland sea area, even if there was no way to explore the vast and boundless Endless Sea, at least it should be active in the open sea.

"Heh, you guessed it right, we retired ourselves to form 'Zephyr', and our area of activity has always been the open sea, and occasionally on a whim, we will enter the Endless Sea realm and wander around. Liu Li's doubts were on his face, causing Karather to laugh heartily, this doubt was originally a recognition of the strength of the "Zephyr" Sea Exploration Group, "But recently, for some reason, the Sea Clan boundary is closed, and after leaving the range of the archipelago, if you want to go east, you will be stopped, and this situation has been going on for several months...... Well, but don't worry, the 'eye of the storm' is in the inland sea, so it won't affect our trip at all. ”

"Why would the Sea Clan do this...... Isn't there any news at all?" asked Liu Li as if he was completely unaware of the situation, he wanted to know to what extent the Sea Clan's act of closing off the outer seas had affected the Huangyu Empire.

"It's said that something is wrong with the Sea Clan...... Don't worry, it won't affect us. Carathur was completely mistaken, patted Liu Li's shoulder and comforted: "It's not once or twice that the Sea Clan has closed the open sea, at least ten or eight years, and at most once in twenty or thirty years, but this time it lasts a little longer, and there will be no problem." ”

"It seems that only the top level of the Huangyu Empire knows about the crisis faced by the Sea Clan, which means that it has not yet reached the point of precariousness. Hearing Carathser's comfort, Liu Li's heart was relieved. Although these conditions will definitely be known when they arrive at the Sea Clan in a week, it is inevitable that they will not be relieved until they are clear. However, after asking, Liu Li did not continue to dwell on it, and changed the topic, "Uncle Carasseur, when will we arrive at the 'eye of the storm'?"

"I will be able to arrive before noon tomorrow, and go to sea with me, the weather is not a problem. Carather's answer was full of confidence.

As we all know, sailing in the oceans is extremely susceptible to the weather. Carasser got the nickname "Sunny Day" precisely because as long as he was on board, the ship was almost nine times unobstructed by wind and rain.

......

"Uncle Carather, then please wait for me, at least two days, no more than three days, and then I will trouble you and your 'Zephyr' to bring me back to Treading Tide City. ”

"Don't worry, I've come out in a hurry this time, just enough to check here if there's anything uncomfortable with my pretty girl. Carasser smiled lewdly, and the pretty girl in his mouth naturally referred to the "Zephyr".

The Zephyr docked on an island very close to the eye of the storm. Originally, the island had no name, and it didn't have any outstanding features except that it was large enough. But the proximity to the "eye of the storm" and the fact that there is a shallow beach in the south of the island that can serve as a natural harbor makes for a small town. Now the fighters who go to the "eye of the storm" to sharpen are accustomed to calling this island the "eyelid of the storm", Liu Li laughed for a long time after hearing this name, and couldn't help but sigh at the simplicity of the Huangyu warriors.

The distance between the "eye" and the "eyelid" is only one nautical mile, and standing on the north shore of the "eyelid", you can even clearly see the endless storm on the "eye". For those who dare to board the "eye of the storm" to sharpen themselves, this distance can be completely traded through the water, and for Liu Li, it is far easier to go to the "eye of the storm" than others.

After mastering the exclusive runes, Liu Li's spells were no longer relegated to form, and the boundaries between manipulation, spell holding, and spirit prayer were no longer obvious to him. This meant that he could now use his ideas to create new spells that were more suitable for him.

Standing on the north bank of the "eyelid", Liu Li's hand "Returning" made a longitudinal stroke, splitting a narrow black crack in the void, and pure black elements erupted from it, and the ubiquitous spatial rule lines also weaved a new network under the guidance of his spiritual power.

Not in a hurry to enter the rift, Liu Li looked at the new spell he created with satisfaction, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and nodded confidently, anyway, there was no one else nearby, and he was not afraid of being seen as narcissistic.

The new spell combines the four black spells of "Black Hole Teleportation", "Dark Travel", "Shadow Blade" and "Dissipation", which can not only attack, teleport and defend at the same time, but can even be activated at will during the process of performing martial arts, except for ...... Well, the cutting ability is slightly weaker than that of the "Shadow Blade", the teleportation distance is slightly inferior to the "Black Hole Teleportation", and the Elemental Shape is not completely ...... "Dark Travel" and "Dissipation" There are probably no other drawbacks.
