Chapter 7: The Sea of Blood
After a month, far away from the harbor of the Republic of Isa, an overly luxurious, elegant, huge ship like a legendary ark was quietly floating on the sea.
"It is no exaggeration to say that this ship can hold almost the entire capital. ”
Leah said in surprise as she looked at the hull as white as ivory. It was white wood, and it was completely unknown where it came from, perhaps it was created by the goddess of creation, Evette, specifically for the purpose of sailing.
"What exactly is the power of this ship?"
Jessica stared in amazement at the two rows of huge oars that stretched out from the cabin to the outside of the ship, allowing the boat to move freely in the absence of wind or headwinds. Merely...... According to their proportions, I am afraid that only giants can row these huge oars. And now, even though there is no one, they are moving freely.
"It's as if the water is running out. ”
There were showers, toilets, and water for people to drink, and Alec was surprised to find that they seemed to be inexhaustible.
"And the fruit tastes good. ”
Rowan grabbed a piece of fruit, tasted it, and said. In the room, you can see white vines bearing fruit of unknown name.
"Sister Eve, I have to admit that this is the first time you have made me feel this way—the name of the Goddess of Creation is well deserved to you. ”
Leah said admiringly. Even she couldn't have created such a miraculous ship.
"I think I understand, I can feel the endless life force on this ship - it's alive!"
Anya said. Because her father is a druid, she has a stronger sense of life force than the average person.
"Live...... Alive?wait, that is, the ship is a life?No wonder, those oars can move freely. ”
Jessica understood instantly.
Not only Jessica, but all the mages present understood what kind of miracle this ship was - this living ship was like a giant plant, it drew nutrients from the sea water to supply itself, like a mimosa, and it plucked or stopped the oars, it purified the sea water in its body, turned it into fresh water, and even produced sweet fruits.
There is no doubt that this ship can sail anywhere in the sea, no matter how far it goes.
"The problem of the ship is solved, and the next step is who will go to sea. ”
Leah sat in the cabin with the others, discussing the future.
"First of all, the leaders of the Republic of Isha, although it is a pity, the weight on your shoulders is not destined for you to go to the depths of the ocean together. ”
Leah looked at Bernie and Eleni, Lena, Shania, Cyrus and Sue, and Anya and the others. These are the leaders of the nation—werewolves, vampires, bloodhunters, humans, and dark elves. Without them in this country, the Republic of Isa will soon be a mess.
"As for Lilica and Hanufain...... I'm sorry, but I can't reach either of them at the moment. ”
Lilica has always been a loner, and as a vampire, she has no access to water, so Wentini curses all vampires while sealing Orona so that they can't get close to it. Obviously, poor Jingling didn't have the time to carefully separate Lilika's special case from the vampire race, even if she could drink tomato juice and take a bath, but a world like the sea, which was full of water elementals, could not do anything, that is to say, the girl was tragically killed by friendly AOE.
As for Hanufain, Leah had tried to contact the Great Sage, but now Hanufain does not seem to be in Mage City, and her whereabouts are unknown.
"...... among the rest"
Leah glanced at the crowd, and Warriff raised his hand.
"I'm sorry, little Leah, I might have to quit this time. ”
"That...... I...... I'm going to take care of my brother. ”
Voriv's face turned pale and looked pained. Amy said worriedly.
"Ah, I see. ”
Leah nodded, the poor fat thief had been having diarrhea all this time. However, Leah is very suspicious that this is because Amy keeps giving Vorriff's meals laxatives after knowing that the mermaid kingdom is full of cute girls.
Considering Warriff's character, as well as Amy's illness, and how much the two of them can play in the water, she chose not to expose Amy's careful thoughts.
"That...... Can I choose not to?"
Romon said, holding up his hand.
"Of course, it's better to say that this is what I want. ”
Leah nodded. With both Phoebe and Linda left behind, it was not surprising that Romon chose not to go. Not to mention that for personal reasons, it is also important that the Bloodhunt Guild needs a veteran vampire hunter to be in charge. Today, Shaunya is still young and needs the help of her friends to sustain this huge organization.
So the rest of the people ......
Merdy and Naru, who are originally merfolk.
Leah's guardians, Rebecca and Alec.
The adventurous siblings Rowan and Jessica.
and the goddess Evette.
Excluding the sailors, this is probably the main figure in this voyage.
"But we also need experienced captains and sailors. ”
Leah said. Although this ship has life, it will never steer itself, look at the charts by itself, and being able to row the oars is already the limit. To get to the depths of the ocean, an experienced captain and crew are necessary.
"Then, from now on, recruit experienced captains and sailors in the Republic, and if not enough, we can also ask Randall for help......"
Boom - !!
Before Leah could finish her sentence, there was a violent tremor in the cabin. When everyone came to the side of the ship, they were surprised to find that the creepy mutations on the distant sea were spreading.
It was the scene I had seen in my dreams—the sea was dyed red as if it were bleeding, and it was constantly dyeing the whole world with a red color.
"Woo......"
The creepy feeling spread throughout his body, and when he graduated from the Demon Martial Arts Academy, he felt such uneasiness and anxiety once. That's right, it's the same feeling as when the sky shatters and Rain Ji breaks through the seal.
"We're going to pick up the pace. ”
Alec looked at the unusual sea and frowned.
Not only the knight, but everyone present understood the gravity of the matter—Olona had awakened from the seal.
"Hey, you see—what's that?"
Rowan said, pointing to the sea level in the distance.
"Waves?"
Jessica placed her palm in front of her eyes, squinting her eyes to make it in.
"Oh, no......"
When the "wave" got closer and was recognizable to the naked eye, Leah let out a groan of despair, for it was not a small wave, but a ......
"Sound the alarm - !! sea beast - here comes - !!"
Cyrus stood on the ship and shouted in a vindictive voice to the ports of the Republic of Isha.
Yes, it wasn't a small wave, but a myriad of sea beasts were rushing like a tide. (To be continued.) )
