The sky is still bright.

The sun hangs eternally on the horizon and never moves, but its light can shine on the entire infinite sea without dead ends.

The white clouds fluttered, bringing the only vividness to the lifeless sky.

The magic of the surrounding sea converged in a vortex shape on a single ship.

It's like a magical whirlpool, foreplaying on the sea.

The ship is the sound of dawn sailing on the boundless sea, and the center point of the whirlpool-like magic is the ship's observation room.

Arka sat in the center of the observation room, with the Gathering Stone floating above his head.

Around the Gathering Magic Stones, there are three attached magic stones of different colors.

They are changing the purity of their mana through their abilities, spreading some of the messy mana around. This will make the mana more refined and infused around Alka.

Pure, specially adapted to Alka's magic, he can easily inhale it into his body.

The extra side hedron is a Gathering Stone component that was remanufactured during this time.

It can be regarded as their experiment, which is used to increase the efficiency of the Gathering Stones. By the way, it is also a more detailed understanding of the structure of the magic stone.

After all, they didn't dare to directly dismantle or change the body of the Gathering Stone.

It is only through this gradual cycle that it can be better understood. Fortunately, there are still research materials on magic stones in the city-state of Vastvar, and there are even more detailed research expansions.

It's just that these studies have almost been cut off from the Gathering Stones, and more research has been done on how to absorb and store mana more easily.

At this time, Arka under the Gathering Stone is absorbing magic and meditating every day.

If it were for others to see, Arka and the others would be absorbing at such a speed when they meditated. Absorbing the pure magic that is so suitable for itself, I don't know what it will be like to envy.

Such pure magic will naturally speed up the increase in Arka strength, and it will be less likely to cause fatigue.

For the star, it is an extension of the time of meditation.

The magic of nature is mixed, and in the infinite sea, or in this broken world, magic is the root of this world.

It is the basis of the existence of this world, and naturally there is everything in this magic.

And everyone is different because of their physique, and even because of the different treasures they control. The nature of one's own magic has been changed, and the efficiency of natural meditation is also different.

The exhaustion of daily meditation is not only due to the stress caused by the magic being poured into the body. It is also the exhaustion caused by the body's removal of those impurities through meditation.

At this time, Alka's face was covered with beads of sweat, indicating that he had been meditating for a while.

More and more magic is gathered, such a high amount of magic power. It doesn't seem like he's at the right level at this stage.

Suddenly, a large amount of mana rotation suddenly stopped, and the entire process of mana absorption stopped.

This doesn't quite feel like what normal meditation should be.

Arka let out a breath and opened her eyes.

"56 up...... Efficiency should already be fast. ”

What Arka is doing is actually a breakthrough in a small phase, that is, adding a spiral.

He now has 56 spirals, and in his body, a group of 27 helixes has made up two.

In addition to the spirals of these two groups, only the slender two are visible in the third group.

However, when Group 3 also reaches 27, Arka will officially reach the end of the game and break through to Stage 5.

He stood up and turned off the Gathering Stone. Arka waved his hand lightly, and the beads of sweat on his body disappeared in an instant.

Carefully calculating the distance, it seems that more than a year has passed since the breakthrough to the fourth stage.

It's been nearly three months since they left Blue Cross Star Island.

According to Urullius' perception, they may not have reached half of the distance by now.

It was expected that it could take eight months to get to the place she was talking about.

I didn't expect it to be so far.

With this in mind, Arka looked through the glass at the endless sea.

There is nothing in the middle of the sea.

There was a knock on the door from the back of the car, and Bororo walked in.

He's coming to take over.

Arka nodded, chatted a few words, and jumped straight down.

Looking at the empty deck, I always felt that something was missing, and when I remembered it, it seemed that a giant dragon was missing.

You must know that if Ulullius's body rests on the deck, it does take up too much space.

Ever since Arka mastered the Heart of Vasteva, Urullius has been playing in it for a long time.

Except for the terrifying low concentration of magic power inside, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, the rest was really good.

You can soar unscrupulously and exert your body in it, but the main thing is that all the world is earth.

Perhaps it is a race left over from the age of the gods, and in its blood, it longs for a world of the earth.

Even if the world is pitiful.

Suddenly, Arka saw Simon come out of the cabin.

"It's rare to be able to see you outside." Arka looked at Simon and said with a smile.

With so much research on Vasteva, Simon has rarely been on the cabin these months. The whole person is immersed in it, studying all kinds of things.

There will even be a chance that you will switch your shifts with those of others and make your shifts stacked on top of each other.

I have been guarding it all day, and by the way, I have used this time to rest and recuperate, and to restore my brain.

It can only be said that everything is done.

So it's really a bit unusual to see him on deck at dinner and on duty.

"Stuck in a bottleneck?" Alka asked.

Simon shook his head: "Well, the concentration of the world magic inside is too low, and some experiments can't meet the requirements at all, so I'll definitely have to do it in the manufacturing room after that." ”

Arka nodded: "Has the research on the spatial mezzanine failed?" ”

"That's right, it's unlikely to expand the mezzanine on board at sea.

The environment of the Infinite Sea is too unstable, not to mention that our ships are sailing all the time. It is only on the islands of the signpost island and its chain that it is possible to make a mezzanine.

Such a place is a little more stable. ”

Hearing this, Arka could only sigh a little pity.

The technology of the space mezzanine is actually a very good technology, with this technology, Alka does not have to worry too much about running out of space on the ship.

Although I'm not worried about it now.

But it would be a little more convenient if there were, after all, if you want to enter the space of Alka, you can't build a fixed location.

Or you can enter freely within a certain range around the Arka.

It's as if space is stored in the heart of Vastva, even though it's not the case.

"What about the space expansion technology?" Arka thought asked, for ships sailing, such a technique is more practical.

The technology of space expansion is to expand the space on the ship, so that the space inside it is really much larger than what you see from the outside.

This technique is obviously perfect for a ship.

"It's still being studied, and this technology is even more difficult than space sandwiching, and it's a little difficult to reproduce."

Arka nodded, and suddenly an hourglass appeared in his hand, looking at the time scale on the hourglass: "It's going to start, let's go first." ”

Simon nodded, and left the deck with Arka.

After disappearing from the deck, the two appeared in the world of space.

Appears directly in the remaining cities, or more appropriately in small towns.

The only buildings left in the city-state of Vastva were much better than they had been when they had arrived. In addition to these buildings, the complexion of these Vastwa people is also much better.

If I used to be a refugee, now I look like a normal person.

Feeling the weakness of the body has been restored, and it is not as lifeless and full of despair as before.

Come to the Temple of Research.

At this time, many people are gathered outside, not in the laboratory.

You can see a window standing in the center, and next to it, there is a Vasteva.

The Vasteva man wears extremely heavy full-body armor that feels a bit like a spacesuit.

Behind him was a pipe that was connected to a machine. You can see this pipe, leaving a long line of margin.

Even Xia Daiti, Juan Luo and others were watching from the side.

In the middle is Matresa who is in charge of any experiments on how to adapt the Vaswa's environment to the outside world and improve their resistance to demons.

After the two of them came over, they stood directly with Xia Daiti and the others.

"Is it going to start again?"

"Right now, we're putting the finishing touches on it."

Hearing this, Arka looked to the center.

The purpose of this experiment was to equip the Vastwa people to live outside for a while.

Mainly because it really takes a long time for them to fully adapt to the concentration of magic in the outside world.

The current Vastwa people are already able to adapt to a mana concentration of about 0.3, and this is only a few months.

Of course, the higher up such a thing is, the more difficult it becomes.

It took less than a month for the Vastevas to go from 0.01 to 0.28.

But 0.28~0.3, this short increase actually took more than two months, and now even the 0.01 increase is a little difficult.

It will take a sufficient amount of time.

For example, in the entire city-state world of Vastva, the concentration of mana has increased from almost nothing to 0.25.

Of course, it is impossible to directly pull to the limit that these people can accept, after all, it is necessary to take into account the elderly and children among them.

The degree of resistance to this kind of resistance is not as high as that of a normal prime of life.

Now they are able to live normally in this kind of magic.

To put it simply, the concentration of mana in a world like the Homeland Sea is about 0.5.

The magic in the Homeland Sea is less complex, and it doesn't have the same fury as the Endless Sea.

Coupled with the deliberate suppression of the Holy Mother, it seems that the concentration of magic is not high.

In other words, the current level of resistance of the Vastwa people is not as high as that of normal humans.

Not to mention adapting to the furious magic of the Infinite Sea.

So everyone wondered if there was a way for the Vastwa people to be able to temporarily adapt to life outside.

Let some people understand the outside life first, and have a higher concept of the outside world.

Between thoughts, the experiment began.

A spatial door to the outside world opened, revealing that the place where they had been placed was Arka's ship.

The one who was tested was Waku, who first came into contact with the Arka.

"Now you can get out."

Hearing Matricesa's instructions, Vaku couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He was a little nervous now, and his palms were already sweating.

Despite this, he nodded: "No problem." ”

"Tell me how you feel, and I'll record it." A recorder next to him who was in charge of recording the experiment said.

Waku took a deep breath, put on the heavy jacket on his body, and walked outside with heavy steps.

The weight of the outer armor made it much more difficult than it was for him to fly a mech.

The main thing is to carry a lot of pressure.

With the sound of heavy footsteps, he walked out in the eyes of everyone.

Arka's figure disappeared in place and appeared directly on the deck.

Arka's sudden appearance startled Vaku, who had just come out, but reacted immediately.

He dragged a long line and looked out.

Look out the window at the endless ocean, look at the white clouds in the sky.

Feel the dazzling sun shining on the horizon.

He couldn't help but raise his hand, but the arm armor was too heavy, and after thinking about it, he decided not to waste his strength.

"Is this the sea?" Waku looked at the vast blue ocean and couldn't help but ask.

"How are you feeling now?"

Hearing this, Waku reacted and hurriedly began to do his job.

began to tell his feelings.

"I didn't feel the higher concentration of mana, and the mana from outside didn't flow in. Aside from the outer armor and its bulkiness, the rest of the feeling is no different from being inside.

Wait a minute...... More magic flowed in. ”

Vaku said abruptly as he felt the concentration of his mana begin to rise.

Hearing this, Simon nodded knowingly.

It seems that if you don't want to use special materials with spells, it's hard to isolate magic by completely enclosing them.

Magic is something that is almost invisible to the naked eye, and is certainly pervasive unless special materials are used to insulate it.

"Open the Demon Barrier." Matresa gives the order.

Waku immediately pressed the switch inside.

The diaphragm layer was not on the outer armor, but on the inside of the outer armor, a thin, intimate clothing-like object that began to spread against his body.

Quickly wrapped him in his entirety, and then a mechanical loop appeared at the position of his head, blocking the place where the fabric did not spread.

It's the same fabric as clothes.

"The mana concentration has decreased by ......," Waku had just said when he saw the monitor inside.

"No, I can feel the concentration of mana decreasing, and the mana inside is still rising."

"Then wait outside for a while."

Waku just stood in place in heavy armor, looking at the ocean around him and observing the scenery on the ship.

After a while.

"I feel...... My head is a little dizzy, and I want to throw up a little. But I didn't feel the increase in the concentration of mana. Am I allergic? ”

Vaku's voice said suddenly.

Hearing this, the Vasteva people present were a little confused, they had not heard such feelings, and they heard that it was a bit like they were sick.

I couldn't help but turn my head to look at Martrisa.

Matresa also frowned, she couldn't understand it.

Got a cold?

Jason watched as everyone pondered.

I couldn't help but say, "That is, is there a possibility?" ”

As soon as he spoke, everyone turned to look at him.

"Is it possible that he was seasick?"

"Seasickness?" A Vastwa experimenter asked rhetorically, frowning.

He had never heard such a word, nor had he seen it in a book, and he couldn't understand what it meant.

Hearing this, among the people present, only Simon, Xia Daiti and others reflected.

Julia and Matresa were both a little puzzled by the fact that they were a sea race.

Only normal humans like Xia Daiti have felt it, or rather, they know it.

"Don't say it, it's possible." Juan Lu said next to him.

At this time, Erwaku was still telling about the extent of his feelings, and even the whole person was already half-crouched on the deck.

"It feels better to squat."

"Look, it's seasick."

Martlisha has black lines on her head and gives the order for Vaku to return.

She didn't expect that the experiment would be interrupted by such a thing as seasickness, and the perception of the body after seasickness would not be obvious, and she would not be able to accurately obtain the data she wanted.

It is only necessary to see if there are any people among the Vastwa who do not get seasick.
