Both—

A clear siren sounded throughout the Siren, and the lights in the banquet hall suddenly turned red, alerting all the dignitaries and officials present.

For a while, more than seventy bright psionic shields lit up in the entire hall, and the reason why there were no more lights up was because the surrounding natural psionic energy was emptied, and the poor-quality psionic ornaments could not borrow the surrounding natural psionic energy.

This is also why the better the quality of psionic jewelry, the price will rise exponentially - because at the critical moment, there will be a psionic run like the current one!

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

"What's going on?"

"There was an attack? Assassin? ”

"Protect your lords!" "Sir, you stand in the middle!"

In just two seconds, the tables filled with all kinds of delicacies and pastries in the otherwise peaceful banquet hall were overturned and erected, solidified with essentia, and built into temporary fortresses as improvised protective walls.

And the noble officials frowned, hiding among them under the protection of their own guards, cautiously observing the situation around them.

Because most of these noble officials are protected by psionic ornaments, they exude a rather dazzling light, and in the dark red hall they are like light bulbs, reflecting colorful lights - convenient for attacking, but also more convenient for protection.

"There are no assassins!"

Soon, some of the guards sensed that the danger was not coming from their surroundings, but they became more vigilant - not an assassination attempt against someone? So an attack on the entire Siren?

It's dangerous, but thankfully they've been prepared!

In a ghost place like Terra, even officials who have been in the central government or the court all the year round have to be cautious of all kinds of surprise attacks, and they need to be proficient in all kinds of life-saving secret methods.

Not to mention the assassination of the strong in other countries, it is not uncommon for the strong people in their own country to discuss policies and start to do it.

It's like the Imperial Capital Gnostic Academy at war with the Great Library...... You say that according to common sense, a researcher doesn't need to master any combat skills, and a librarian doesn't need any life-saving skills, right?

But when the Count of Phoenix and Dean Moze fought, their personal guards knights won't talk to you about any profession, they came to war, and they were accidentally swept up by the aftermath to death, so who to reason with?

In the final analysis, it is the Terra Continent, and the strong are respected!

Those who are not strong must learn how to save their lives!

"It looks like a monster is coming."

As for Theo, he is still eating pastries at the moment.

Unaffected by the warning, she continued to put a baked powder cake into her mouth, and the dragon girl munched on herself, but her eyes looked at the far sea beyond the siren: "Wow...... This amount...... O Dragon King! ”

Even the real dragon couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Let's not talk about the number, there are actually three third-level beast kings?!" ”

"I've been wandering around the South China Sea for decades, and I've seen the King of Sea Beasts of the third level once!"

[Level 3 Sea Beast Attack Alert]

At this moment, the voice of the captain of the Siren, Captain Elden, sounded: [According to the Siren's observations, there are three third-level sea beast kings approaching the ship, and the frigates around the Siren have already fought with the sea beast cluster, but the enemy group is too large for the escort fleet to stop]

[You are all distinguished guests of Canaan Moore, we will do our best to ensure the safety of your lives, the Empire's South Sea Fleet and our Silent Sea Fleet are approaching, and I myself will immediately set off to negotiate with the Sea Kings, please don't worry......]

Starting from the words 'Three-headed Third-Level Sea Beast King', the faces of all the noble officials present began to change abruptly, and after hearing the words 'Please don't worry', even the most big-hearted people couldn't help but complain loudly: "Worry about a fart, three-headed third-level Sea King, what's the use of us worrying?" ”

"I knew it was bad news, what were you doing with the table." Someone picked up his hat from the ground and put it on his head while complaining, "I haven't finished my red-blooded steak yet." ”

"yes." A Canaan Moore official who was on alert wiped his glasses and sighed, "But I don't have the heart to eat, let's write a suicide note first." ”

For a while, the atmosphere in the banquet hall even warmed up for a while, although it was not that people were so frightened that they almost urinated, but with the psychological quality of the Terra people, most of them accepted the fact that life and death were up to heaven.

It's no wonder that they reacted too aggressively...... Because the fact that the three third-level great demonic beasts joined forces to attack was so exaggerated in itself.

On the earth, most of the material cycles of organisms are around the land and the coastal waters around the land, and there are not many large organisms in the deep ocean, especially those thousands of kilometers away from the land, it is isolated from many land and ocean currents, and it is difficult for fish to reach, only extremely low-level plankton and algae exist, and the biological density can even be compared with the desert, or even less than the desert.

Most of the large sea creatures live in areas close to land and ocean currents, and the deep-sea areas at depths of several thousand meters rely on chemical synthetic bacteria, that is, submarine volcanoes and black chimneys to support small-scale ecosystems, and it is impossible to breed the deep-sea giants that ordinary people imagine.

But in Terra, it's different.

Terra has Essentia and natural psionic beings.

Just like the super-giant psionic field of the eternal silent ocean, a huge ocean current circulation is constructed directly in the sea, which directly infuses the essentia from the sun into the deep sea, and the psionic field extracts the thermal energy from the center of the earth at the weak point of the earth's crust...... This has turned the supposedly barren depths of Terra into a paradise for countless creatures.

As Theo said in his heart - in Terra, there are very few third-level big monsters in the offshore sea.

Because the offshore is the territory of the land titans and the 'humans'.

But in the deep sea, far from the land, is the hellish battlefield where many sea beasts and giant beasts fight and fight.

Viscount Grant's bloodline, the Abyssal Lizard Whale, is the overlord of the deep sea abyss, and it will also come to the surface of the sea to spit clouds and mist, float into the atmosphere, soar above the sky, absorb the essentia of the sun to achieve the final evolution, and become a dragonwhale almost like a dragon. But the vast majority of lizards are, as their name suggests, lizards and not dragons.

Yin Eun also studied the marine ecology of Terra, and the result of the study was, 'What kind of Gu cultivation holy place is the ocean in this place?' A large number of sea creatures that God knows if they were originally or later mutated from Terra, as well as at least seven or eight alien monsters from different planets (or the beast version of the aliens after losing their intelligence) killed each other in the seemingly calm sea, each with different knowledge and different abilities, and these strange things all fused, hybridized, absorbed, and evolved in the sea of Terra......

God knows what's going on there.

At that time, Yin Eun speculated that the situation in the Terra Ocean was so complicated that it was directly related to the fact that the spacecraft fell directly into the depths of the ocean back then...... Most of the parts of the Skyfall Spaceship should be in the sea, which is why he attaches so much importance to the Crystal Dragon clone.

Having such a monster body that can move freely in the sea will be much smoother than human movements.

But even in such an almost insane Terra marine ecosystem, the third-level giant beast is also an existence in the upper layer of the food chain.

The higher-level fourth-level Titan Sea Beast is the overlord of the seas, or the head of a clan, and does not act frequently, while the fifth-level sea god, such as the protector of Yuanjiangang's 'Crystal Dragon Fursti', does not care what territory it is, so in fact, it is these third-level sea kings who cross the sea and frequently deal with humans.

Each of them leads a huge group of people who can single-handedly stir up huge storms and create storms and small tsunamis...... Ordinary naval fleets can only consider themselves unlucky when they encounter them, let alone merchant ships, so in some routes close to the ocean, human powerhouses are required to sign contracts with the kings of sea beasts to ensure the stability of the routes.

But now, there are actually three sea kings who have broken the contract and attacked from the deep sea...... There is only one Elden on the entire Siren, who is at the third level on the surface, what can he do but wait for death?

Even the spies and killers were in a hurry.

"What's going on?!"

The communication channels inside the Gnostic Academy have become a mess: "Who attracted the Sea King?" Didn't you just attract a group of blue breakers to divert Elden's attention? How did you attract the third-level beastmaster, and there are still three heads?! ”

"I don't know!" The spy in charge of this aspect looked dazed: "Even if the bait of the lure is really that useful, I have only attracted one demonic beast lair......"

At the same time, the killer hired by the Council of Canaan Moore also hid in the corner of the cabin, and whispered to the communication device: "I asked you to lure the beast to find a chance for me, not to say that you want to lure the beastmaster to kill all the people on the siren—if you want to kill them all, why do you want me!?" There is also a large group of nobles and merchants of the empire on this ship, do you want to create a major diplomatic incident?! ”

"If you break the rules, even if the mission is successful, we will be thrown out as scapegoats!"

"Rubbish!" The spies of the Heavenly Court were also angrily reprimanding the other side of the telegraph: "Do you want the Empire and Canaan Moore to go to war directly against the Royal Court?" Our goal is to assassinate key targets, not kill them all! ”

……

It seems that the reason why there are three different sea beast kings is coming, is very clear.

"Three third-level demonic beasts are enough to start a war."

Theo finished the snack in front of her, she stood up, stretched, and shook her head out of the hall.

The red-haired girl sighed in her heart: "No wonder Yin En said that he wanted me to help stop it—this is a troublesome matter." It's not a big problem, though, and I'm a little curious as to why they get together. ”

Thinking of this, Xio's eyes lit up with a surging light, and her soul escaped into the void, where she went to find the souls of those sea beast kings to negotiate.

……

"Sure enough, someone wanted to do something to me."

Siren, deep in the hold, storage compartment No. 17.

At the center of the incident, the biological alchemy master Gravi Scarlet Leaf quietly listened to Captain Elden's announcement, and nodded calmly: "Is it the council of my hometown, or the Gnostic Academy?" Perhaps there are also the radicals of the Heavenly Court...... Hmph, maybe together? They definitely didn't have the courage to disturb the King of Sea Beasts, at most they would attract a group of second-level demonic beasts to harass and attract Elden's attention. ”

"The reason why these sea beast kings are here is because of you."

Turning his gaze back to the Silent Silver Alloy Secret Box in front of him, the old elf's tone was filled with a hint of excitement: "Sure enough, my inference is correct...... You didn't die at all, but you were suppressed by the secret methods of the Gnostic Academy. ”

"As long as you come to the outside world, you will gradually recover and grow...... And attract other creatures to become your roll family, to become part of the ecology you build. ”

"And then, be your resuscitation force."

Saying to himself, Master Gravi raised his hand and stroked the Silent Silver Alloy Secret Box, and could vaguely see that the elf's fingertips had shown a slight woodeny pattern: "The empire just wants to understand the wonderful soul resonance phenomenon between you and the Roll Clan, but I want to know the essence of your immortality, immortality and immortality. ”

"The Tree of Infallibility, the Sacred Tree of Eternity...... The Ladder of Immortals, the Tree of Life, the god of the Outer Heavens who descended on Terra in the Lost Age and nearly destroyed the Plains of Quenor. ”

"I want to know where your true power lies."

The Lost Age is a long gap in Terra's history.

Some scholars believe that the length of this lost period should be more than 300 years and less than 500 years, but others believe that the duration of the Lost Era should be about 1,000 years, and there is a lot of evidence on both sides to prove it.

But in any case, they can confirm ...... During the Lost Ages, there were many terrible wars on the continent of Terra.

Primordial sublimators fought with many terrifying sublimation behemoths, and the heavens, the earth, and the seas also underwent tremendous changes, and the terrifying geological changes completely changed the terrain of every part of the Terra continent, and even the geological structure of the entire planet.

For ordinary scholars, the study of the Lost Age ends here.

However, Gravi knew that a huge part of the terrifying beings in the Lost Age who fought against the primordial sublimators of the human race were the giant beasts called the 'Outer Gods'.

Among those giant beasts, there are giant snakes like mountains, and there are also giant algae that overturned the heavens and the earth and rained down with meteorites; There are silver mountain monsters covered in metal and like moving mountains, and there are also glorious divine birds that shine on all things, like the second sun......

Naturally, among these gods outside the heavens, there are also plants.

The Ladder of Life Tree is one of them.

This is an extremely powerful plant-based exodemia that once descended on the vicinity of the Quino Plains, and the moment it arrived, it assimilated all the protists in the entire plain, turning them into its own genus...... At that time, the first inhabitants of the imperial capital harnessed the power of the imperial capital to fight against the sacred tree and its subordinates, and finally sealed it in the mantle fifty kilometers below the imperial capital, and at the cost of the earliest controllers of the imperial capital were severely damaged, defeated and disappeared in the subsequent war, and were occupied by the later Setars.

It is said that there were other reasons why the aborigines of the Imperial Capital defeated the Ladder of Life Tree back then, and they seemed to be very familiar with the characteristics of the outer gods of the 'Divine Tree', and even used the power of the Ladder Tree of Life to strengthen the defenses of the Imperial Capital.

After all, Gravi's identity is a first-generation immigrant, and he has no access to the most core information, so he can only know these rumors that are close to legends.

But this did not prevent him from relying on his knowledge to directly join the team that researched the Ladder Life Tree.

But that's not a good thing...... Because it was so close, it caused so much trouble after leaving.

With Gravi's wisdom, how could he not have imagined that someone would want to attack him? After all, he had also worked in the Gnostic Institute for decades, and knew a lot about their patterns of action.

But sometimes, brute force can triumph over strategy. After leaving the Gnostic, Gravi had no guards to trust, and Canaan Moore's protection could not be trusted, so he had to defend himself on his own.

There is no life, and dreams are meaningless.

It's just that Gravi didn't expect that the aura of the 'God of the Outer Heavens' would be so attractive to sea beasts...... He was able to attract the three-headed king of sea beasts with just a little bit of dew with his pheromones, which was also unexpected.

Theoretically, it would be nice to be able to attract one, but such a crisis would be enough to make those spy killers scramble and not be able to come to him for trouble anytime soon.

The three heads were a bit too much, and Gravi wasn't sure if Elden could stop it...... But at this time, he could only trust the other party, and he had to come over to check if there was any leak in the silver box where the 'Ladder of Life Tree' was stored.

If the power of the Living Tree were to leak out, it would be estimated that 99% of the crew of the entire Siren would have to be corrupted by pollution and become its Roll Clan.

Fortunately, it didn't. After the inspection, Gravi confirmed this, and the three-headed sea beast probably only sensed the pure vitality of the Tree of Life and came to explore the situation. Also, if it is really leaked, it will not be the third energy level, but the fourth energy level Titan.

And at this moment, a cold light shot from behind him made Gravi feel shocked, he didn't expect that he would be followed and discovered after sneaking into the cabin stealthily, this cold light came extremely fast, beyond the speed of sound but there was a wind source to suppress the sound waves, so it was silent, even if Gravi's second-level spiritual energy could react, but his aging and rigid body could not move at the first time.

Peng, the cold light revealed his true body, and it was a silver flashing sleeve arrow, which hit the back of Master Gravi's head directly, and then ......

It was like a bullet hitting an iron wall, and it was bounced out with a crisp metallic sound.

"Huh?" The person who shot it was also extremely surprised, he couldn't imagine that the assassination arrow rationed by the council was so weak - although Master Gravi was the second energy level, he had already entered the last aging period of his life, theoretically speaking, this supersonic sleeve arrow was enough to shoot through the surface flesh of the opponent, and then inject the poison into it, killing it instantly!

But who knows, such a supersonic assassination arrow can't even pierce the skin of the target? Master Gravi's strength is far beyond estimates!

- Damn, our intelligence is never accurate! The assassin couldn't help but feel a little chagrined.

But it's not a big problem, he still has a chance!

"Directly under the killer? It looks like it's on the side of the parliament. At this moment, Master Gravi's body began to slowly turn around, and activated the psionic ornaments on his body, and he could faintly see a layer of emerald green shimmer enveloping his body, followed by an oval-shaped diamond-shaped grid shield emerging.

Relying on the power of the Tree of Life, Gravi's physical strength was far stronger than the average second energy level, but because of this, his physical flexibility was also greatly reduced, and he was as slow as a real tree.

Facing the killers of the Canaan Moore Council, he was not worried, but he was a little strange in his heart: "In the case of the attack of the King of the Three-Headed Sea Beast, they will also kill me?" Looks like the council really doesn't want me back...... It should be that the scientific research faction to which the teacher belongs lost the struggle, and the victor does not want me to go back to power and pull the team up again. ”

One-on-one council killer, Gravi is quite confident, although his body of the scroll clan has not been completely transformed, but in terms of tenacity, it is already a very top-level defensive sublimation inheritance, and if the ordinary third energy level wants to break it, it will take a little effort, and it will definitely last until the guard knight on the siren discovers.

Soon, however, he and the Parliamentary Killer were all in a state of flux.

Because on the other side, with an invisible wind slamming into the wall of the storage cabin like a giant hammer, a tall and majestic strong man directly smashed into the wall, and rushed straight towards him with a long axe in his hand.

The strong man was obviously in a hurry, and he didn't even notice the brief encounter between Gravi and the parliamentary killer before, so when he rushed into the storage tank, he was stunned for a moment, a little confused how there was anyone other than his own target.

- The Gale Charge of the Heavenly King's Court!

Master Gravi didn't know much about the sublimation combat technique, but the council killer on the side couldn't help but feel a sudden feeling in his heart, the other party was obviously a killer spy on the side of the Heavenly King's Court, and the target should also be Master Gravi.

It sounds like the two of them have the same goal, and it seems that they can join forces to kill their mission objectives...... But how is that possible? Now that you know the true face of the other party, the relationship between the two parties is endless!

Dahan obviously noticed this, and his eyes sank.

But before the three people present could calm down and confront each other, the ceiling of Storage Module 17 suddenly began to tremble violently, and then quietly melted under the high heat, and a faceless man covered in light blue spiritual fire also pounced with an extremely fierce momentum.

But halfway through, a wave of confusion and fright came from his mind, and the killer of the Imperial Gnostic Academy turned around in mid-air and jumped to the other end of the storage chamber - he looked at the three people who were looking at him at the same time in some shock, completely unable to understand what was going on.

- What's going on, the killer spy is in a meeting?

For a moment, there was an eerie silence in the entire storage cabin. The Siren's crew is now on their way to battle for the next sea beast raid, and the knights of the Escort are mostly gathered around the banquet hall to protect the important nobles and officials.

This is the most dangerous time, but also the safest time, so the four people present all started their actions and gathered around this secret storage pod.

"I didn't expect so many people to want to kill me."

In the face of the three killers with their own unique skills, no matter how confident Master Gravi was, he was in a cold sweat at this moment, especially the killer in the Gnosis Academy, the burning spiritual fire on his body had already begun to transform into the body of the Shenmu Scroll Clan, and it was obvious that the other party already knew part of his plan.

But Gravi thought that the Gnostic Institute would destroy the pile of research manuscripts left in the room at most, but he didn't expect that even the Gnostic Institute would kill him!

It was a misunderstanding - the Gnosis killer simply thought that Gravi had more secret manuscripts stored elsewhere, so he planned to come along and check on the situation...... Who knew that there were so many people in a small storage room, which was really incomprehensible to him.

The four sides confronted each other, and an atmosphere of uncertainty or embarrassment swirled in the air, and everyone stared nervously at the other three, not daring to speak or move, for fear that they would reveal their flaws in front of the others.

A few minutes passed, ten minutes passed, and the four of them were still motionless, very calm, and for various reasons, the crew of the Sirens did not notice anything unusual here.

Everyone is quite patient, as long as no one comes, they will never be the first to make a move. Ten minutes was just a blink of an eye, for their professionally trained killers.

- Is there an end?

On the contrary, Master Gravi had already begun to roar in his heart, he was too old to concentrate, not to mention that as a researcher, although he had the patience to conduct long experiments, he was extremely impatient with this situation.

- Is there an end? My time is precious!

The same thought crossed the mind of another researcher.

So...... The next moment.

A cold wind lifted, and a silver light pierced the darkness with thunder.

The Heavenly Court Killer suddenly felt an extremely cold force coming from behind him, and the extreme numbness and coldness spread to his entire back almost instantly, followed by the stinging pain of the blade stirring his internal organs, causing him to stumble forward and fall to the ground.

I can't get up again.

The killer of the Canaan Moore Council was slightly stunned, his reaction was the fastest, and he noticed that the thunderous silver sword light pierced the big man's chest and abdomen, and then lightly cut through the other party's ribs and flesh, and then moved towards his own neck.

He raised the assassination dagger in his hand to parry the blow, but it was too slow, and after the killer was stunned, he saw the broken sword in his hand, his body, and his own smooth neck.

The Gnostic killer turned and fled, and although he didn't know what was going on, his instinctive sense of crisis almost cried and ordered him to leave the place immediately, a strong premonition of death that made him want to vomit...... But before that, a bolt of lightning caught up with him.

Upon his arrival, the skull of this psionic person who was burning with spiritual fire all over his body literally burst into flames, and a dazzling pillar of blue-white fire burst out from his mouth, nose and ears, with a bright arc of blue-blue electricity.

"Who?!"

Master Gravi only felt a flower in front of him, and the three people who had been confronting him all fell, but soon, he saw a white and strong fist that looked like a white jade carving.

This was followed by concussions, vertigo, uncontrollable confusion and self-doubt.

Master Gravi fainted.
