Chapter 170: The Mystery of the Elements

When Jerrick finally arrived at the Cohen Naval Harbor Base with the First Fleet of the Red Leaf Empire's Geocentric Sea Fleet, Linya's heavy airship Liberty was ready to sail for battle.

At the behest of Empress Isabel, the Liberty finally filled with huge airbags and slowly rose from the palace square. This was supposed to be the Liberty's first appearance, and it was alone. Linya brought only Namia, Susanna, Gandra, and Moita, two Magisters, in addition to Bender's Sky Guard, a total of five Dragon Eagle Knights, as well as Captain Rodkin and the ship's basic combat configuration soldiers.

Airships are not as good as battleships, and the load is limited after all, and a large number of people is not necessarily useful. As for Aven, he was sent to Jellick by Linya, and once the situation in Luyun City deteriorated, the fleet and the Fire Legion would be ready to go south at any time.

The pre-industrial sky turned out to be so beautiful, blue like a transparent mirror, so beautiful that people were jealous. The burning swill from the Liberty's propulsion wheel left a faint trail of smoke behind it, full of romance.

The sea, the blue sky, the white clouds, the breeze, it is really a refreshing journey. But Linya wasn't in the mood to enjoy the trip. No matter what others think, he really wants to do the right thing, and when he thinks of those soldiers who were killed, how can he feel better.

Airships are much faster than those on the seas. Soon, the coastline gradually sank below the level of the north. For those pirates, the biggest advantage of an airship is its altitude and speed, as long as it is discovered by the Liberty. Pirates and vampires have nowhere to run, which is why Linya is reluctant to take the fleet with her.

After a half-day voyage, the Liberty finally arrived at the sinking site of the Swift in the afternoon. This is a shallow area of the sea about a hundred kilometers southeast of Cohen, and you can even clearly see the beautiful patches of colorful coral reefs in the water below from the sky. Since the center of the sea is mostly located in the tropics or subtropics, the evaporation rate of seawater is faster, and the geographical state of isolation from the sea of confusion leads to a long time. The water level of the Earth Heart Sea was actually dozens of meters lower than the Confused Sea outside, and there was a reason for this.

Linya focused on her spirits, unfolded her elemental eyes, and soon found the Swift lying quietly at the bottom of the shallow sea between the two coral reefs. Its mast had snapped off at the root, and there was very noticeable damage throughout the hull. Scarred, apparently having experienced an incomparably fierce battle before sinking.

"I will avenge you!" said Linya with a gloomy face after a moment of silence for these brave warriors.

Bender's air cavalry team was unable to bring back any useful information after a scouting of the nearby seas. Surrounded by seawater, there should be no islands for ships and pirates to hide.

"This battleship is very badly damaged, obviously those pirates are not ordinary!" "Archmagister Gandra has summoned the water elemental spirit. The actual situation of the Underwater Swift was revealed on the airship, and everyone immediately discussed.

"I don't seem to have heard of such a powerful pirate anywhere in the neighborhood. ”

"Looks like someone needs to dive into the water to find clues, otherwise where are they going to go next?"

The people were now troubled. With the terrifying strength of this group of people on board. There is no need to fear any enemies, even if the pirates are powerful and the vampires are terrible, but there are two magisters and an artifact like Linya. Naturally, everyone was full of confidence. But if you can't find the enemy, then you have nowhere to go.

Two hours later. The three soldiers sent out to dive into the sea with the help of the snorkel of the Moyiyu Magister Zuò, but after several attempts to search the Swift at close range, they were ultimately unable to return with any valuable information. Ten days have passed, and everything that can move and float has been gone with the current. All that remained was a bruised and broken hull.

Everyone was at a loss, so they had to wait for Linya's decision. May the little princess give up any adventurous thoughts and return to the castle. After all, if this delicate princess queen has three strengths and two weaknesses, this is something that everyone doesn't want to see.

Linya was also at a loss now, clutching Namia's arm. But what can Namia do? To be honest, Linya really doesn't have much experience in this kind of impromptu decision-making situation. But to give up like this, it's too unwilling. Originally, everyone still regarded themselves as an ignorant child, and they didn't want to admit defeat so discouraged. Yes, be sure to make an adult look to show them!

How...... Looking at the projection map of the underwater scene summoned by Teacher Gandra with the water elemental spirit, Linya suddenly had a strange idea.

"If the elemental spirits in the opposite position can combine the previous combinations of their previous positions, then the elemental spirits in this position before a certain period of time can be summoned to show the scene of that time period? It's like taking a picture of that time with a click, so that we can get a sense of what it was like!Teacher Gandra, Teacher Moita, do you think this theory is correct?" Linya said excitedly.

Gandra, Moita, and Namia were dumbfounded. Namia muttered, "Princess, that's true, but ...... That's impossible!"

"If that's right, why can't it?"

"Because...... Your Royal Highness, Princess, you are actually right. The magic apparition I just summoned is not essentially a real-time projection, but a video of the location of the elemental spirits at the bottom of the ocean three minutes before the spell is cast. But...... Elemental spirits are in constant motion all the time, they are always wandering around, and they simply don't stay in one place for long. To find the projection of the elemental spirits from the day before, it is necessary to summon enough elemental spirits that were in this place the day ago with spiritual power. But in fact, by the end of the day, they had no idea where they had wandered. How much more so ten days ago...... If there weren't enough elemental spirits present. The projection that would be displayed would not be clear and would not make any sense!" Gandra explained helplessly.

"That's right...... I understand. Linya thought for a moment and said, "But if you don't try it, how can you know if it will really work?"

"No, Your Highness the Princess! There are too many elemental spirits summoned, in case you can't control it. It's going to be dangerous!" Namia was the first to object.

But Linya was clearly up to her mind. Linya took off the Azure Star necklace that Alice had given her, took off the Bright Star and set it aside, placing the Azure Star between the palms of her hands, and infusing it with magic to enhance her water magic. Then he closed his eyes, unleashed his spiritual power, and expanded towards the surrounding sea.

The first thing Linya wanted to test was the image of the seabed in this sea a day ago. At Linya's call, the water elemental in the nearby sea began to focus on Linya's side. As the spiritual power became more and more powerful, the water element's focusing speed became faster and faster.

Soon. The elemental wave accelerated into a violent storm. The others may not feel anyone, but for the three of Gandra, Moita, and Namia, they really felt the surging storm of magic.

It is really impossible for ordinary people to have such a strong spiritual power. Princess Linya's magical potential is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people. Although the three of them had already experienced this, they were still thrilling to be around the core of this magical storm at this moment.

Although there are a large number of water elemental spirits surging in, unfortunately there are very few of them that can resonate with the underwater area at this time a day ago. As Gandra said. Many of these wandering elemental spirits have already left this area, while many others have passed by temporarily from other places.

Let's try it first. The elemental spirits were manifested in their current location, creating a vague shadow. Although I can't see too many details, the general outline of the Fire Swallow can still be seen.

"This ...... Did it work?" the crowd exclaimed in amazement.

"No...... It was just what it looked like here a day ago. I'll have to try again ten days ago. With that, Linya closed her eyes and returned to the world of magic.

There are clearly not enough elemental sprites that can resonate with this point. Linya gathers more magic and infuses the Azure Star. Concentrate all your spiritual power more intensively and expand your spiritual power to more distant seas.

This time, there are more Water Elemental Spirits in focus, and the time is longer. Gradually, a faint blue mist formed around Linya, centering on the sapphire azure star between her hands, enveloping her entire body in it. This is the surface of the gathering of water elements attracted by her magic. Although I was very worried about the princess's situation, I must not disturb her at this time. If she was distracted and her spiritual power was lost, and the focused magical power of the guide was out of control, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The number of elemental spirits that resonated with this plane ten days ago was of course even rarer. Linya tried her best to summon the spirits, but there were still a pitiful number.

Isn't it really possible?

It is unlikely that they will be revealed, as no images will be visible.

However, Linya had an idea. It was to sketch out a map of the sea area of the shipwreck site of the Swift in his mind, and then fill in this resonant elemental spirit according to their location at that time.

An image takes shape in my mind. But it was still too vague, and all that could be seen now was a dark shadow at the bottom of the sea. That was the location of the Swift, but only a long black shadow could be seen, with no detail at all.

It seems that the time is not right. Linya shifted the time forward for another hour, looking for the ones that resonated with her in the ocean of elemental spirits around her.

After a long time, Linya decided to stop when she felt that the restless elemental ocean was really a little too much to control. Put the collected water elemental spirits into the model of the sea. This time, the dark shadow on the bottom of the sea was gone, and its location was not far below the surface of the sea. And on the sea, not far from the sinking point of the Fire Swallow, in the east, there was another black shadow!

Although the details are completely invisible, the time and place of Guò are inferred. The black shadow that was sinking the Swift was the Swift that had just sunk! And the shadow on the sea to the west of the sinking point must be the guy who had just destroyed the Swift!

"I've found ......," Linya couldn't help but cry out excitedly, but she quickly sensed something was wrong. The scattered spiritual power completely lost control of the magic power focused on the hands, and a huge amount of water magic broke free from the azure star, and the out-of-control magic power rebounded back along the arms like a tide!

There was a burst of drama at the arm. Linya was shocked, the power of this magic power is extraordinary, and I am afraid that her small body will not be able to withstand this backlash...... Is it going to be over?

When he was flustered, suddenly a familiar heat came from his shoulders, it was Namia's magic! When this huge magical power poured into his shoulders, he was suddenly guided by another magic power to flow in another direction, but a large part of it still continued to spread throughout his body. However, the magic power of Gandra and Moita had also surged in from their backs, first protecting their hearts, and after colliding with the surging anti-devouring magic several times in a row, they began to fight back. After losing Linya's control, those backlash magic power gradually scattered and scattered, where was the opponent of these two powerful magic powers, and was quickly expelled from Linya's body.

Namia, who was guarding her on the sidelines, was already prepared, so when she saw that the situation was not good, she did not hesitate to use her light magic to send the anti-devouring magic on Linya's shoulders to the place where it must pass. When the magic surged, Namia was suddenly shocked and flew upside down.

The crowd around them shouted in panic. Fortunately, Moita, who possessed the seventh-level natural magic, immediately performed the regeneration technique and pain relief technique, and Linya woke up a little from the sharp pain just now, and opened her eyes to see Suzanne who was holding herself in her arms.

"Western...... Towards the west......" After enduring the unbearable pain between her arms, Linya finally fainted. B
