Chapter 787: Out to Sea
Soon, the Academy Secret Department sent a reply to Benjamin from the Academy Secret Department in the Kingdom of Hori.
“...... The words of the Wood family are confirmed. ”
After listening to the reply, Benjamin nodded thoughtfully. Regardless of the extent of the dispute between the nobility and the church, the gathering of ships on the seashore of the Kingdom of Hori seems to be genuinely intent on revenge.
Truth be told, this dog-eat-dog situation continues, and it's something Benjamin would be more than happy to see. However, the problem is that he feels that overseas sects may not be able to stop the church, and once they are exterminated, those precious materials about chanting will probably fall into the hands of the church.
As a result, Benjamin felt that he could not afford to sit idly by.
About two days later, after a little preparation, he set out from the academy with his two siblings - the craze for visits from the previous days had almost subsided, the academy was stable, and he could travel with peace of mind, and the matter here could be completely handled by Wallis.
"Master Mage, does the Holy Light Church really plan to exterminate the people on the island?"
Halfway through the flight, the girl couldn't help but ask.
"The Church has absolutely no tolerance for infidels. Benjamin replied, "I heard that they have put together a whole fleet, sent at least three digits of priests and paladins, and prepared things that can restrain their minds. I definitely want to kill them all without any worries. ”
"That'...... What are we going to do? Are we going to, going to stop them?"
Benjamin shook his head and said, "I originally planned to find an opportunity to destroy the overseas sects, don't you also want to take revenge? ”
"Praying mantis, praying mantis?"
"Nothing...... Anyway, let's rush over first. ”
Benjamin reluctantly changed his words, shook his head, and ended the conversation with the two siblings.
In the letter that the Wood family wrote to him, it was not actually intended for him to make such a choice to compete with the fisherman for profit. Although it was not specified, he could see it very clearly that those nobles wanted the Academy of Magic to jump out and make trouble at this time, whether it was to prevent the church from going overseas or something else, in short, it was to add more trouble to the church.
In this way, the church will not have time to deal with the aristocracy, and the aristocracy can seek greater benefits from it.
But...... Benjamin wasn't going to follow their hints exactly.
After all, self-interest is involved, and the art of chanting, since the development of the branch of the necromantic follower, the status in Benjamin's heart has also risen step by step, becoming more and more important. He couldn't have given up all the treasures of the overseas sect.
- The aristocracy wanted to deal with the church, and he wanted the church to deal with the overseas sects together.
After about two or three days of flying, Benjamin first bypassed the abyss, took his two siblings to the sea of the Kingdom of Hori, and then followed the traces of the church fleet going to sea and flew in the direction of the island.
He wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to catch up, and the church didn't know the details of the overseas sects, so he would have to search the sea for a while.
The vast expanse of the ocean stretches towards the limits of human vision. Benjamin flew in the air, only to feel that this piece of water seemed to be connected to the end of the world, and under the deep blue water, I don't know how many secrets that had never been explored.
And, of course, there are countless Warcraft.
Compared to the terrestrial environment, the ocean is many times more sinister for man. Not long after he went out to sea, he and the system detected groups of sea beasts, patrolling underwater. Most of them take the form of ordinary fish, but each one has sharp teeth and sets off waves of elemental fluctuations. At the same time, there are many that look like octopuses, and they often exude a dangerous aura, which is quite scary.
Not only that, but in addition to these, they can also vaguely feel that they are at a deeper seabed, seeming to ...... There are even more terrible existences.
"How did you get out to sea in this environment?" asked Benjamin, looking at the two siblings.
"The elders said it was the goddess who showed us the safe route. The young man thought for a moment and hesitated, "However, according to the adults...... Maybe there's another reason. ”
Is it a safe route?
Benjamin nodded. After all, living on an island, thousands of years have passed, countless lives have been filled, and a navigable route will definitely be found.
However, he must first find the fleet of the church, and he must not take the safe route. Therefore, he had to fly carefully, away from the water, searching for clues about the church as he flew. Thanks to his prudence, half a day has passed since they went out to sea, and they have not encountered any attack by demonic beasts.
“...... That's the fleet. ”
Half a day later, they were almost flying in the clouds, looking down, and finally found the flotilla in sight.
Hidden among the mist and clouds, Benjamin quietly approached the fleet. However, when they got closer, they found that the Church fleet was fighting a giant octopus.
"Quick! Mend the shield on the left! Don't let it sink the ship!"
"You guys suppress it with the Holy Light Bullet, and the rest chant with me, and we'll unleash the power of the cross and wipe out this thing in one fell swoop. ”
"Fill the hole on the right, quick! No more water leaks in......"
Even just looking at it from afar, Benjamin could see how chaotic the situation was. The octopus monster was almost the size of a castle, and its suckers were the size of adults, one by one, as if there were countless large mouths for breathing. On the sticky white skin, every tiny protrusion is clearly visible as if it had been enlarged.
The tentacles of the octopus waved and the shield on the ship buzzed, and the surrounding waves were also surging.
Those priests stood on the boat, staggering one by one, and even had to fly up to cast spells, otherwise they would have vomited on the spot. Therefore, although the octopus monster does not seem to have the ability to attack elementally, it still makes them very embarrassed, and two ships have been damaged.
Benjamin was glad to see it from heaven.
"No, didn't you find out the situation before you went to sea, and they were so anxious to destroy the other sects, were they beaten stupidly in Ikor?" he said with some schadenfreude in his heart.
It would be a bit funny if the church went out to sea and was wiped out halfway through.
“...... If you think too much, let's look at the situation again. The system was silent for a moment, then said.
Benjamin also put away the smile on his face and continued to look over. Below, the octopus had been using its tentacles to attack the Holy Light shield that appeared on the hull, but although the shield looked quite fragile, it had not been broken under the continuous knocking of the giant tentacles.
Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't help but think of the powerful Holy Light Enchantment that Haven Wright came with.
Is it a similar technique?
The flotilla moved slowly, forming an encirclement that silently encircled the giant octopus.
“...... Let's get started, purify this filthy creature. ”
The chanting was finally completed, and the figure who was probably at the level of a bishop opened his eyes, looked at the octopus demon beast without sorrow or joy, and slowly spoke. The other priests nodded in response, and the sporadic light converged, and finally, a huge cross was formed in midair.
The cross is located just above the octopus, and a strong light is cast down. At that moment, the octopus also seemed to realize something, and the action was paused.
However, the priests did not give it time to react.
"Purification begins!"
With powerful fluctuations in magical power, the Holy Light Cross suddenly fell and crashed into the giant octopus. In an instant, a blinding glare burst out, and from Benjamin's point of view, it looked like someone had thrown a powerful flashbang there.
He and his two siblings flew far away in the sky, and they couldn't help but squint their eyes.
Then, the light gradually dissipated, and only a charred octopus corpse remained on the surface of the sea.
"Cut...... It's not interesting, so it's solved. ”
Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't help but pout. It seems that the church is still prepared, and the two damaged ships seem to have been repaired in a very short period of time, and the balance has been stabilized, and there is no tendency to continue sinking.
But...... Well, if the Church's fleet was killed casually, how would he be the profiteer?
He also wants to use the church's knife to deal with overseas sects first, and the church can't fight the streets here.
After taking out the giant octopus, it didn't take long for the fleet below to adjust its formation and seem ready to continue its departure. However, it was at this time that the entire sea suddenly fluctuated violently.
The two siblings who were taken by Benjamin couldn't help but be stunned.
"No, it's not good, it's a sign...... They seem to have angered the Sea King. The boy looked incredulous, "But...... Shouldn't Aquaman just be legends? Do they really exist?"
In the midst of the two siblings' amazement, several huge protrusions suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by surging waves more than ten meters high, more than a dozen giant octopuses that were exactly the same as the octopus monster suddenly emerged from the sea.
