"Check the container and the ritual so that nothing is missed!"

"Evacuate the non-responsible personnel quickly, don't care who it is, drive out immediately if it's irrelevant!"

"Protection and Isolation Secret Ritual Preparation!"

After seeing the psychedelic color suspended in the sink, Gerald, who had officially taken on important responsibilities, immediately made a decision.

Although he is not a non-teacher or a professional scholar, he has enough practical experience in alchemy, in addition, the disaster in Salem City and the complicated experiences of his past have also given Gerald far more than ordinary caution and judgment.

He had been keeping a close eye on the strange parrotfish that had been imprisoned for the past time, and as a survivor who had managed to escape from the Descendants of the Abyss, Gerald was extremely sensitive to these existences that were closely related to ancient creations.

"If anything goes beyond expectations, it needs to be dealt with with in the strictest way!"

This is the creed that Gerald has set for himself.

Soon, the important people who had only arrived at the laboratory for a short time were protected and "driven" by the soldiers to a relatively safe position, and then a huge and sturdy protective magic quickly took shape under the operation of the secret ritual, and completely enveloped the laboratory.

Of course, Meyer and the others were not angry at being treated like this, on the contrary, they all sensed a clear sense of crisis and tension in Gerald's performance as if he were facing the enemy.

Darthville was the first to leave, believing that this change was a very bad sign that the soldiers who were on duty and patrolling the harbor needed to be alerted, and ships such as the Aurora anchored in the harbor needed to be prepared.

Subsequently, Felix and several other core members of the Sword of Dawn also left one after another, and they could not tell if this ongoing change was related to the Black Sun Society, but in any case, they needed to prepare a plan in advance.

Therefore, when Gerald arrived at the clearing with heavy steps, only Meyer and the rest of the Dawn Society scholars were left waiting for him.

"Professor, I would suggest you take a step back a little longer, or...... Are you considering leaving the port first? ”

"Okay Gerald, you know I'm not going to agree."

Mayer shook his head calmly, his palm clutching his hat, his gaze as deep as the sea outside the harbor: "Tell me, what is the situation now?" ”

"The will that dwelt in the body of the giant fish awakened...... Or rather, it finally ended its previous silence and decided to expend its limited strength to do something else. ”

"Something else? What are you referring to? ”

"I'm sorry Professor, we don't know enough about it, but we can be sure from the changes in the Secret Ritual that the will is trying to channel its power to the outside world...... Its power is special, and although our secret ritual can be effective, it can only intercept a part of it. ”

Gerald raised his hand and made a gesture to cover his mouth: "It's like trying to cover a person's mouth, you can only make him unable to scream, but you can't stop him from making noises after all." ”

"You mean, it's sending a message outward? Is it calling for a companion? ”

"We can't confirm for sure, but we did deal with it in this case."

The massive half-blood ogre muffled and said, "This is the advice that Mr. Shugg gave me before he left, saying that if we encounter an incomprehensible situation while studying that fish, then we should be conservative and safe first......

He raised his hand and made a "slash" gesture into the air: "The ritual is kicking in, Professor...... We're going to destroy everything in the sink, and no matter what that will is, or what it's going to do, we're not going to let it live on. ”

Hearing these words, Meyer turned his gaze to the laboratory in the distance, and he saw that the magical light that shrouded the laboratory was constantly emitting strange brilliance as if it had been subjected to some kind of impact and interference, and it was obvious that until now, that strange will was still constantly impacting the measures of the Dawn Society.

"Okay, just follow your plan, I'm not a professional in this area, it's better to talk less."

Mayer nodded very consciously, and was about to ask something more, when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps not far away, and turned his head to look, only to find a beautiful head of blond hair running towards him in the light.

Sally was running a little too fast, so she was a little out of breath, but at this time she didn't have time to rest, so she raised her hand and handed a brand new magic letter to Meyer.

"It's from the Windless, signed directly by Miss Verin."

Sally hurriedly said two words, then she calmed her breathing a little and said quickly, "There are some complicated new situations on the Windless...... It is now almost certain that the will and strength that resides in the bodies of malformed fish or shrimp and crabs are extremely dangerous. ”

"Mr. Schugg believes that the giant fish we caught was just an accident, and that the effects of similar forces in the ocean are likely to be exaggerated, and that if these wills suddenly awaken and begin to act unexpectedly, they should be 'destroyed' immediately and prepared for the impact!"

While Sally succinctly summarized the contents of the magical letter, Meyer had already scanned the contents of the letter at great speed.

He sighed, looked up and said, "The good news is that we're doing it...... Darthwell had already delivered the order, and everyone was now on standby. ”

Gerald's chubby face wrinkled very ugly: "So what's the bad news?" ”

"The bad news is that the Windless is probably very dangerous right now...... Our comrades are drifting on the sea, and they have no way to fight against the unknown on land. ”

Meyer slapped the magical letter heavily on Gerald's big hand, "And I'm sure that Mr. Ghost on a ship is probably the primary target of those powers and wills compared to us." ”

After speaking, he looked at Sally: "Have you tried to reply to the letter?" ”

"Tried twice, but failed."

Sally's face was full of worry and anxiety: "The communication between the secret rites has been seriously disrupted, and it has been completely cut off, and we have no way to confirm the situation on the Windless, and we can't contact anyone......"

……

Meyer's judgment was absolutely correct.

Now, the Windless, as well as all its frigates, are in a similar state.

The fleet was still on the move, but now, all the mages in charge of the ritual in the fleet found that the communication and communication ritual they had been carefully maintaining was now completely relegated.

The entire fleet seemed to be trapped in an invisible airtight cage - powerful interference was erected like a barrier to the nearby sea, completely blocking out the magical messages that were transmitted on the basis of magic.

And when the crew members of these ships tried to observe the sea, they were surprised to find that before they knew it, their fleet was "surrounded".

Yes, surround ......

As they used their binoculars to search the seemingly empty and calm sea in the distance, an incomparably magnificent strange color appeared in their field of vision.

Just as the rainbow in the sky inexplicably fell into the sea, this color formed an incomparably huge circle on the sea surface around the fleet, and under the cover of night, this magnificent circle seemed to have life with the entire fleet.

No matter whether the waves are rough or not, and no matter what speed ships like the Windless are now, this huge circle is always there, and it maintains this eerie enveloping posture.

"It's a lot of wind and waves outside, and we've already mentioned the fastest speed...... But they always keep us in the center. ”

The council mage shook his head incredulously, then he handed over the binoculars, "I'm already doubting my eyes. ”

Hug took the binoculars and looked out into the distance, and at the end of his line of sight, he saw a line surging with the waves in the dark sea.

A thread that radiates a brilliant and unusual light.

It was so far away from the Windless that even if Shuge had plenty of magic and a strong sense of magic, he wouldn't be able to successfully reach this strange "encirclement".

As for the Detectors on the ship, they have been working correctly, but they have not been able to give any definite feedback on this strange phenomenon.

Shuge stared at these familiar strange colors for a moment, then he put down the binoculars in his hand and said, "It seems that in their current state, they are not ready to 'go to war' with us...... Containment and containment are their primary goals. ”

"Siege and containment?"

The mage on the side was puzzled by this: "But if this situation is just like this, it can't cause us any substantial damage, even if we can't use the secret ritual to communicate with the outside world now, we can completely maintain our speed until we arrive in Hong Kong." ”

"But that's just the beginning."

Shug glanced at him, then turned his gaze back to the sea.

Without the help of the telescope, it was pitch black again, and after nightfall, the wind and waves seemed to start to grow larger again, and the raging waves rolled endlessly, as if trying to spread invisible panic into the moving fleet.

Just as Xiuge was about to finish his observation of the sea and return to his cabin to make more preparations, the sailor officer on the other side, who was using a telescope to observe the distant sea, suddenly let out a startled sound.

"Huh?"

Xiuge turned his head to look, only to see that the officer had put down the telescope in his hand with a puzzled expression, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then looked out in the previous direction again.

This time, his reaction became even stronger.

"Uh-huh???"

The sound is like that of an angler who has been unable to catch a fish for many years and suddenly finds that his rod is attached to some extremely unusual weight.

The person in charge of the legal committee present frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I ......"

The officer seemed to be a little speechless, his expression changed violently, his mouth trembled slightly, and then he held the telescope and said in an extremely uncertain tone: "Northwest, just in the northwest...... I saw a huge black shadow, why didn't our detector respond?! ”

Hearing this, Shog immediately came to the officer's side, and he looked in the direction pointed by the sailor officer, and soon Shog succeeded in catching the shadow of which the officer spoke in the distant darkness.

The shadow wasn't too far away from the Windless, in fact, it was halfway between the Windless and the escort ship Silver Shield.

It looked like a large reef covered in glowing algae, and although the sea was dim at the moment, Shugg and the others were able to discern its outline by the shimmering algae.

A loud siren sounded from a distance, it was a warning from the Silver Shield, and it was clear that the sailors on the armored ship had also spotted the anomaly.

There was a slight sound in Xiuge's mental world, the sound of the metal disc beginning to accelerate.

With the sirens of the Silver Shield, the huge crystallized lamps installed on the ship emitted a dazzling light, and as the crystallized lamps turned, two huge pillars of light shone towards the surface of the sea where the anomaly had been found.

However, in just a dozen seconds, the bright pillar of light successfully illuminated the target's sea surface, so the true appearance of that shadow was finally exposed to the vision of Xiuge and the others.

Reefs?

Bullshit reef!

The moment Xiuge saw the shadow clearly, he couldn't help but curse.

The "reef" in the mouth of the sailor officer had an extremely strange appearance, it did not have the hard outline of a reef at all, but it was as round and silky as a huge man-made mound, and under the light of the crystallized lamp, it revealed a gloomy dark green.

It's clearly alive.

Stimulated by the light, the shadow took on a new turn, and Shug saw it tremble slightly, followed by a slight rotation in the seawater.

The glowing damp algae reflected a strange brilliance, and after this light and shadow, Xiuge was greeted by an even more bizarre sight.

He saw two rows of points of light arranged vertically.

That's the eye.

In this way, they grew in the center of the shadow, and reflected a light in the light that closely resembled the "color of life".

The same sea, the same waves......

And then there are these beings with distinctly archaic features......

At this moment, Xiuge only felt that the dreams he had had before about the ocean and the giant ship seemed to have blended with the reality in front of him.
