Hearing Arka agree, Maldo's expression showed obvious joy, and he nodded with a smile.

"Let me say my granddaughter and my final goodbyes."

As he spoke, he turned his head to communicate with Mattresa in their characteristic language.

Then I could see that Matresa was slightly surprised, and then frowned and clenched her fists to cheer herself up, and nodded.

Maldo stretched out his hand, a slight light and a slight touch of light ran down his fingertips into Matrice's forehead.

The light was wrapped in some knowledge, and when Matresa opened her eyes again, she could already hear the conversation between the people of Arka.

Mardo then took a ring from his hand and gave it to Mattlisa.

The features of the ring were so obvious that Arka knew it was a pocket ring at a glance.

"Go, kid, go say goodbye."

Matresa nodded, twisting her snake tail as she quickly made her way up the mountain.

It should be goodbye to his people and friends.

Seeing Mattresa leave, Mardo turned his head to look at the crowd and said.

"Entering from between the peaks is the road to the boundless sea, but this road is not safe."

"As a token of appreciation, I will coat your ships with a protective film to bless your ships and help them pass safely."

Hearing this, Arka nodded: "If you can, of course." ”

It's a good thing to be able to have an extra layer of protection.

Mardo pulled out his trident, and the azure magic wrapped around it, following the sharp blade of the trident and striking at the side of the ship in front of him.

Arka and Simon deliberately took a step forward to make sure they could see clearly.

lest this stranger in front of him do something while plating the ship for protection.

Although his granddaughter will also be on board later, who knows.

As the magic gushed out, it didn't stick to the ship, but slowly expanded around, turning into something like a film, enveloping the entire ship.

The aqua blue coat of arms was imprinted on the side of the ship and then disappeared.

Looking at the thing, Arka turned his head slightly to look at Borro, who nodded his head.

He felt the blessing of the sea god in that coat of arms, and Mardo was not lying.

"Is there anything you want to tell us about the Infinite Sea?" Arka asked suddenly.

Although there is "The Land of Dreams", many things in that book are hidden.

So Arka wanted to ask if there was any more news about the Guardian's race that led to the gates of the Infinite Sea.

For that uncharted sea, no amount of news is too much.

"The Infinite Sea."

Maldo said, looking up slightly at the sky.

"It is a completely different sea, and the only thing to warn you is not to look at it the way you see the world now.

It was a completely different, completely chaotic place. ”

Looking at Maldo like this, Arka couldn't help but ask, "Have you been to that sea?" ”

"Nope." Maldo shook his head.

This is a piece of advice that all who go to the Infinite Sea must know.

Arka nodded, not asking too much.

While waiting, everyone turned their eyes to where they were going.

There is nothing different about the flow of water between the two peaks, it just naturally stays ahead.

The water here is as calm as the surface of a lake.

It was as if a line had been drawn between the two peaks, and there was a faint mist inside that could not be seen clearly.

The fog was so faint that it seemed to completely obscure their view of what they wanted to look inside.

At this moment, a figure swam down quickly from the top of the mountain.

It was Matresa who had already finished saying goodbye and was ready.

She hugged her grandfather and the guard-like man next to her grandfather goodbye and slowly made their way to Arka's ship.

"My name is Martlisha, and thank you for your willingness to take me to the Infinite Sea."

"It's nothing compared to the fact that you saved our crew." Arka said with a smile.

Then she and the others on the ship got to know each other, and then stayed quietly on the deck.

"If you're ready, you can move on."

Maldo said, looking at the people on the boat.

Arka took a deep breath and made his way to the bow of the ship, looking at the area obscured by the light mist.

He couldn't help but smile on his face, turned his head to look at everyone and asked, "How are you?" You ready? ”

"Well, I can't wait."

"Come on, move on."

“……”

Listening to the words of the crowd, Arka turned his head and looked ahead of him again, his eyes becoming more and more determined.

"Good!"

"Sound of the Dawn! Set sail! ”

With Arka giving the order to move forward.

The boat began to move.

The calm sea was split by the bow of the ship, splashing in both directions.

Slowly drove towards the thin mist.

On the stone platform at the foot of the mountain, Mardo and the guards beside him watched them leave.

looked at the granddaughter who was waving to him on the deck, and his eyes were full of reluctance.

"Rest assured, Patriarch, she is the best of us, and she will be able to put an end to the punishment we have been carrying."

"Ah...... I hope so. Maldo muttered to himself.

However, the guard next to him also showed a hint of confusion on his face and asked, "But why Patriarch, why did you entrust her to this completely unfamiliar team?" ”

If that Storm Champion was the leader of the ship, he would be able to understand it.

Obviously not, so why give such trust to this team?

He didn't understand.

All kinds of teams, I don't know how many he has seen in the time since he was a child.

There's nothing special about Arka's team, the only one in particular is the Storm Champion.

Or a test that is within their sight.

But he still didn't understand.

There were so many options before that this team wasn't special enough.

"Why, you ask?" Maldo said, looking at the trident in his hand.

"I prophesied...... This is the best chance. ”

"Prophecy? You ......, Patriarch," the guard said with some surprise.

Something like prophecy does not in itself provide clear instructions, but it does allow one to make the best choice.

And the use of such techniques can have serious consequences.

The patriarch is already very old.

Maldo waved his hand: "Okay, this is a necessary effort, don't care so much." ”

He then drew a semicircle with his right arm towards his chest.

"May the god of the sea bless them."

The guards next to him also blessed him.

At this time, Arka's ship was already very close to the misty sea, close at hand.

And everyone on the boat was already holding their breath.

They're finally on their way to their final destination.

The stern statue of the Sound of Dawn passed first, piercing the pale white mist, then the mast, and then the turn of the people on board.

When the crowd is completely submerged in this fog.

They were enveloped in a pale white mist.

Except for the environment on the ship, nothing could be seen clearly, as if passing through some invisible area.

The mist encircled them, around the sea, blocking their view and looking farther away.

This strange area made Matricesa, who had left her home for the first time, slightly close to Julia beside her.

As the fog grows thicker.

Even the scene on the deck became slightly blurry.

The fog had crept up the ships, and they couldn't even see what was close at hand.

As a result, she had to be completely attached to Julia's body, until finally she couldn't help it, and four hands were wrapped around Julia's hands, holding her tightly.

Julia looked at the new member next to her, who was a little nervous, and smiled and patted her on the shoulder to signal her reassurance.

"Don't be afraid, we'll protect you."

Matresa pursed her lips and nodded, "Hmm." ”

The fog grew thicker and thicker, causing everyone to move slightly closer to the center of the deck, and finally gathered around the flowerbed in the center of the plywood.

This allows them to get close enough and get to know their teammates.

"The fog is getting thicker and thicker, and we won't even be able to see the people next to us clearly at the end." Poloro stretched out his palm and swung the fog that grew thicker and thicker, as if trying to disperse it.

At this moment, one after another silver threads flew out and wrapped around everyone's wrists.

"Hehe, I'm not afraid of this!" Er, who was sitting on Xia Daiti's shoulder, said with a smile.

Everyone looked at the silver silk thread on their wrists, smiled and nodded, and did not refuse.

It's a good idea.

However, contrary to what they thought, as the ship moved forward, the thick fog did not become thick again, and remained as it was.

In this way, they kept the visibility very low.

There was no light or wind, and the sails of the falling ship did not move at all, and hung steadily on the mast.

The entire ship moved forward thanks to the Sound of Dawn's own actions.

As time passed, everyone who was originally a little vigilant couldn't help but relax and sat around the flower bed.

"How far does this have to go?" Jason leaned back in his chair and couldn't help but ask.

Alka calculated the time.

"We've been in this fog for more than an hour, and it's not quite what I thought."

Alka thought that they would go through all kinds of exaggerated landscapes, or certain dangers, and then reach the endless sea.

I didn't expect to drive for so long in this vast white mist sea area as soon as I stepped through the gate, and I didn't see anything, so I could only keep moving forward.

"We seem to be walking through the film of the world...... Perhaps. Julia said, a little uncertain.

Hearing her words, several people next to her turned their heads to look at her.

Natsuyo asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"The fog and the surrounding environment are not at all slightly chaotic like the passage of the road, but very solid, like a barrier to the world.

Of course, this is only my conjecture, and there is no evidence to prove the truth of what I said. ”

But don't the maps, the records I have seen in the Church, or the words that have just been uttered by Maldo's mouth, indicate that the Infinite Sea is a sea of utter chaos?

The rules there must be chaotic, and there is not much order, which is obviously not in line with this place, and this area is like intercepting the chaos there. ”

Hearing Julia's words, everyone nodded, although they didn't understand very well, but after all, Julia had been in the sea of living beings, practicing her duties as a maintainer of order in the sea.

Compared to everyone else, she has a clear perception of the subtle changes in the magic around her, the magic content, and the changes in the surrounding environment.

Even when the surrounding environment changes too drastically, she has to hand in maintenance.

So in a way, she's a professional.

And for these changes, it is difficult for people to feel them.

After another half an hour, the surrounding environment still did not change in the slightest, and the thick fog still wrapped around the ship.

Seeing this situation, Juan Lu stood up and said, "It seems that you won't be able to get out for a while, so I'll go get you some food." ”

With that, Juan Lu walked towards the kitchen.

From breakfast in the morning to now, they have been on high alert.

Eating some delicious food may be able to relieve a little, and by the way, fill your stomach and replenish your strength.

The silver threads still connected him.

Until the silver bell rang for dinner, their surroundings remained unchanged.

The crowd was full of wine and food, and waited on the deck again.

"How long will it take? Hopefully it won't come to us suddenly, at least let's be a little prepared. Jason leaned back in his chair and said boredly.

Not long after he finished speaking, the whole ship began to shake violently.

The crowd immediately got up.

The breeze began to blow, and the sails that had been calm began to swell with the breeze, and the speed of the ship instantly increased by one level.

However, the speed was getting faster and faster, and they could feel that the direction of the ship was beginning to change, and the fog around them was slowly fading.

The sound of dripping songs came from the bow of the ship, the sound of dawn, trying to tell something.

Arka listened, turned to the crowd and said, "Be careful, hold on to it all firmly, there is a big whirlpool ahead!" ”

Hearing this, the crowd immediately grabbed the surrounding objects, and one cable after another flew in, binding them and immobilizing their bodies so that they would not fly out.

When Mattresa first arrived, she was obviously very uncomfortable, but Julia next to her was giving her simple instructions and explanations.

And the ship began to move quickly in the direction of the left, faster and faster.

It wasn't until the fog had completely disappeared that everyone realized what was going on around them.

They were on the edge of a great whirlpool, and they could see the center of the whirlpool in the distance from the direction they were staying.

The black hole is hollow, and you can't see anything clearly.

All you could see was the water flowing towards it, and the huge pull force of the whirlpool gave their ships the slightest chance of moving.

can only be passively ripped off.

"Damn, what are we going to do now?" Jason asked, a little flustered.

Arka looked at the whirlpool, then at the film that wrapped around the ship.

"Perhaps...... That is the path to the Infinite Sea. ”

When they heard this, they all turned their heads to look at him.

"Huh?"

"Do you see this film, isn't it the protection that Matricesa's grandfather has done for us?"

Looking at this film, everyone could only hold their breath and stabilize their bodies.

At this time, Xia Daiti looked at the sea, and suddenly the whole person froze.

The first thing to notice her abnormality was Er, who was sitting on her shoulder, constantly pushing her head.

"Xia Daiti, what's wrong with you? Feed! Wake up! ”

Hearing Er's anxious voice, everyone around looked over, only to see Xia Daiti staring blankly at the sea.

opened his mouth.

"Mom?"

Tears rolled down the corners of her eyes.

However, everyone followed her line of sight, and the sea was still the crazy whirlpool, and nothing appeared.

Julia and Matrice, who had just been uploaded, immediately wanted to start checking the status of Chadetti.

However, there was also the same change from Bororo's side as in Xia Daiti.

He also stared blankly at the sea.

"Cousin? What are you doing here? ”

His cousin is none other than the dead Sankaka.

However, this time, when Jason, Alka, and Lucilia looked, they really saw the figure of the swordfish fishman Sanka on the surface of the sea.

He was moving rapidly on the surface of the sea, leaping into the air from time to time, smiling at them.

Arka rubbed his eyes, but when he opened them again, he saw more than just Sankaka.

His parents, when they first boarded the Shanghai Boxing Trumpet, received him and had a good relationship with him, Hammer, the cook's uncle Matt, and Lippoca, who had the least communication with him.

All of these people appeared on the surface of the sea, looking at him.

These are the people he knew and died with after he came into this world.

Why are they here?

Where did the hallucinations come from?

Arka turned his head to look at the crowd.

Only to find that everyone on the ship was in the same state as Xia Daiti, staring blankly at the whirlpool sea, with their mouths slightly open, muttering something to themselves.

Finished.

Apparently this is some kind of large-scale illusion.

But Arka didn't know what caused it.

Seeing this, Arka immediately controlled the dreamcatcher in his chest and surfaced.

A large amount of pink mist quickly diffused, completely enveloping everyone, forcibly dragging it completely into their dreams.

Everyone immediately closed their eyes and fell into a deep sleep, and their bodies were limp and firmly bound by ropes.

"Sound of the dawn, quick! Shake them! ”

Hearing Arka's words, the ropes that bound everyone shook quickly.

Then everyone immediately woke up, opened their eyes and looked around vigilantly.

Seeing their eyes regain clarity, Arka finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This is possible.

It was only then that everyone reacted, and it seemed that they had just fallen into some kind of illusion.

"Alright! Now is not the time to think about this, hold on tight, we're going to fall in! ”

Alka's words rang out loud.

During the time it sank into the illusion, the ship was already completely pulled into the whirlpool.

Everyone looked sideways, only to realize that they were about to fall into the dark abyss with the spiral.

"Ahhhh

Screams followed, followed by complete disappearance.

The sound of dawn vanished into the center of the vortex.
