"Woo!"

A whistle sounded like a whistle, and a steel ship swept by.

Although the distance between them may be a full 1 kilometer, the whistle is so harsh.

Arka, the sound of their dawn streaked by, and the people on board were on deck, watching outside and talking to each other.

"So this destination of ours is under the control of the Holy Machine Church?" Jason asked.

Arka shook his head: "According to the intelligence, the name of this signpost island is Felemis, and the locals and others call this island the City of Power.

The main faith in this area is the wise men of the Holy Machine Church, you must have seen a round cannon and his manipulators in the Demon Fortress before, right? ”

Hearing Arka's words, everyone nodded.

The so-called round cannon is a kind of cannon that they have seen a long time ago, which will project a kind of scattered shell.

It explodes above the heads of the demonic colony, and then forms a dense raindrop-like array of small bombs, inflicting patches of damage on the weaker demons.

The only trouble is that it takes a certain amount of time to cool down and it is difficult to reload.

In fact, the Power City will also provide a lot of elemental energy crystals.

In the past, when Arka constructed elemental cards, some materials from Power City were used.

"This weapon is provided by the Power City, but after all, it is not a big force, so it is mainly under the command of the Holy Machine Church."

Hearing this, everyone probably understood.

The churches of the four gods each have their own spheres of influence.

However, in addition to their sphere of influence, there are also many regions that have different beliefs about each church, and because they themselves are not considered powerful in the entire boundless sea, they have classified themselves as forces under the command of the church.

But the church doesn't interfere with them much, and they still have enough autonomy. It is only in major issues and crises that the Church exercises its dominion over this power.

This is basically the tacit rule of the Church of the Four Gods.

There are just a few subtle differences in each church, but the overall thing.

And it's not that any force wants to be incorporated into the church, basically because the founder of these forces used to be a member of a certain church.

The Church of the Holy Machine is also known as the City of Power, plus the ironclad ships around them as they are about to reach their destination. Basically, it is enough to confirm the main melody of this area.

This is why the Church of the Four Gods has a high reputation in the world.

Such a huge amount of power, if it were not for the real gods to suppress it, would have long ago been corrupt and abused. But when there is a true god in the world, the church will always fulfill the rules of the gods.

Become the most stable power in the world, unless the gods they believe in fall.

Even if these god-believing beings fall, they will find a way to pull their gods up.

For example, the children of flowers.

Simon was looking at the ironclad ships in the distance.

After a while, he came to the conclusion: "It's a pity that these ships should only be able to carry out transport operations around the Signpost Island and its island chain, and they do not dare to leave this sea area at all." ”

This is also a very normal thing.

Although it is an ironclad ship, it has a much faster speed than a normal sail battleship.

But again, if you want to sail freely throughout the infinite sea, it is difficult to resist without a ghost ship.

Whether it's an ironclad ship, a sail battleship, or even a raft, you have to follow this principle.

Otherwise, the strange shipwrecks along the way alone would be enough to smash ordinary warships and even spell warships to pieces.

However, the rapid transportation between the island chains is enough to take advantage of these ironclads.

Larger cargo capacity, better defense against ordinary shipwreckage, and faster speed.

"This ship...... It's a trip to the world scar. Xia Daiti suddenly pointed to an ironclad ship in the distance on the other side and said.

The ironclad ship could feel the aura of the abyss above, although it was very faint, but it was too conspicuous for Arka.

And I can feel it, but it's just a ghost ship that looks like an ironclad ship. But the aura of the abyss can be felt, just the wrapping of the shell.

This is a normal condition for scars and external transportation in the world for a long time.

And by the flag on it, as well as the style of the entire ship, you can know that this is not just a ship that is transporting supplies to the world's scars, there should be a lot of troops on it.

In this way, the sound of dawn sailed quickly on the sea again for most of the day.

I finally saw the island from afar.

As it gets closer and closer.

The appearance of the island was revealed to them.

It is an island with almost no green vegetation.

The island is almost completely occupied by steel buildings, and dark clouds can be seen over the island, lightning and thunder.

The most striking thing about the entire island was the dark clouds that kept floating above their heads, covering almost the entire island below.

"The elemental activity of this island is a little too high." As soon as Arka came over, he could sense the elemental problem here.

As a result, dark clouds have been stationed above, and lightning and thunder are constantly falling, all of which are problems with the overactivity of the elements.

And the most active of these elements are obviously these thunder elements.

This is still a steel city, and I can't imagine how active the thunder element in the city is.

Steel buildings are intertwined and entrenched, filling the small island.

Even the port extends out of the deck of all kinds of steel.

Arka: Their arrival has basically caught the attention of everyone in the port.

After all, they took a brief look at the ship Arka here, and 80% of them were all kinds of ironclad ships.

Including some ghost ships, all of them are the appearance of ironclad ships.

All those who are not ironclad can basically be determined to be people from other places.

And among them, Arka their boat is the most attractive.

Themselves Akai and their ship enlarged over and over again because of the change in the sound of the dawn.

Previously, the mast had been eliminated and replaced with a large tree and its canopy, covering the entire ship under the canopy.

It looks like a boat holding an umbrella.

In addition, the hull of the ship, because it is the reason for life, so from time to time there will be some vines and flowers and other things, all according to the dawn of his own preference.

So it's like a vegetative garden walking on the sea. To tell the truth, if the people of the seed of life saw this ship, they would have to find a way to come up and walk around twice.

Julia is the one who cares most about the appearance of these flowers and plants, and she is often seen taking care of them with Matricesa.

There's even some nice gardening.

Too outrageous appearance, how can it not attract the attention of others.

In addition, it is extremely huge, and it is basically the most eye-catching boy wherever he walks.

Some of the boats even moved slightly to the side, making way for Arka to stay in the harbor with a wide enough spot.

Slowly stopped at the port.

Before they could get off the boat, a group of people appeared at the place where they stayed.

It was a crowd in brown coats.

He wears a hood with some fur on his head.

It was a group of twelve guards, and the inside of the coat could be seen in simple and easy to move metal iron armor.

The officer in front had a saber pinned to his waist.

And the soldiers in the back were holding rock-shaking spears in their hands.

Look at the outfits of these people.

Juan Lu couldn't help muttering to himself: "So it's already winter here?" ”

Because of their strength, it's hardly possible to sense weather changes that aren't extreme enough.

"May I ask you from the Compass Pupil Treasure Hunting Group, right?" The leader of the general asked.

As he spoke, he glanced at the sign on the side of his body, and the flagpole that grew out of the canopy.

Apparently the people here know about them.

I just don't know if it's because of the church or if their reputation has spread here.

Or both.

"That's right."

"We are the Harbor Guards of the City of Power, and we are here to welcome you.

If your ship has an auto-defense mechanic, restrain it a bit and don't let it be too agile and activate. ”

Although he was inexplicable when he heard this, Arka nodded anyway.

"Thank you for your understanding and have a great trip."

After saying that, the team directly said goodbye and left.

Arka stood in place, inexplicable.

But with such a rule, it is clear that something similar must have happened before.

And isn't there a docking fee?

"Is the Tower of Trials here?" Jason asked.

Arka shook his head: "Not here, but on a small island linked to the City of Power." So we need to get a map first, and go directly to the church to get what we should have communicated.

We'll leave when we get the map, or would you like to take a look around? ”

Hearing Alka's question, Xia Daiti and the girls nodded, and Simon and the others also showed interest.

Although the island has no greenery to speak of, it is a city of steel. The island is dotted with various metal buildings. To be honest, they haven't been to this kind of place yet, so they're a little curious.

Seeing this, Arka nodded and said, "Then let's gather again tomorrow." ”

So saying, they all went their separate ways.

Only Lucilia doesn't seem to have much of a sense of such an environment.

In the form of a puppet, he sits on Alka's shoulder and dangles his calves.

Arka naturally reached out and pushed Lucilia's body a little towards the side of her ear, stabilizing her body before jumping off the boat.

Then we walked towards the city.

As soon as you leave the direction in which the ship is staying, you can clearly feel the difference in the city.

You can see something resembling a small crane, quickly transporting some supplies, and there are slides on the ground

Although the port is not large, the volume of material transfer and transportation is not small, because the various mechanical devices are extremely efficient.

However, it is still obvious that there is a slight chaos in the port.

It's also unavoidable.

"There's still a bit of confusion about how active the elements are here." Arka said as he walked.

"It's a little uncomfortable."

Hearing Lucilia's words, Arka nodded.

Indeed it is.

The disturbance of the elements will stimulate the body, although it may not cause harm to the body, but it will still be a little uncomfortable for the Arka people in this environment.

And the more sensitive and powerful the person is, the more sensitive he is to such disturbances.

After all, under normal circumstances, the disturbance of the elements means that there is a situation around, either the enemy is attacking, or there is something hidden around.

It will involuntarily make people enter a more vigilant state.

Arka looked at the inhabitants around him.

The inhabitants are rarely exposed to their skin, and most of them wear face coverings that cover the part below their eyes, as well as knitted hats on their heads.

Long pants, long sleeves, and even gloves.

Coupled with the colder surroundings, the people here are basically wrapped up tightly.

This is really good for blocking the perturbation of some elements, especially for ordinary people.

After all, the stimulation of elemental disturbances brought about by direct exposure of the skin to the air is more obvious.

With the stimulation of walking, Arka didn't like it very much, and instinctively reacted vigilantly.

He twisted his fingers slightly.

Then the elemental disturbance around them immediately turned to calm.

"It's much better now." Lucilia stretched out her hand, waved it in the air, and said with a feeling.

Arka continued on his way, and soon entered the town.

Even the air in the town was slightly uncomfortable, and Arka couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Dark clouds overhead, and lightning falling from time to time.

The thunder element in the air is much more active than other elements, which causes a certain sense of prick in the breath.

It makes the nasal cavity and throat very uncomfortable.

"This place...... It's really hard to put into words. Arka couldn't help but complain.

"What's wrong?" Lucilia asked, a little confused.

Arka looked at her and suddenly thought of something, and patted his forehead: "By the way, you breathe." ”

Because of Arka's previous structure, Lucilia is already a divine creature, and although she has flesh and blood, her body structure does not necessarily require normal breathing.

Hearing Arka's words, Lucilia nodded and took a deep breath.

Then I immediately understood the feeling of Arka.

I couldn't help but reach out and scratch my throat.

As he walked further inside, Arka saw that some of them were wearing breathing masks.

Somewhat similar to a heavy mask, worn in the direction of the nose and mouth.

The structure is very simple, and Arka can see through it at a glance.

Extremely simple metal construction with a certain elemental conductive structure.

It is to export the lightning element that is too active in the breath through the metal attachment next to it.

This will make the tingling sensation in your breath disappear.

And the existence of this kind of breathing mask can be judged from the clothes on the body to belong to the existence of a certain asset.

As soon as Alka entered, he saw the location of the church from a distance.

A slender minaret about a dozen meters tall stands out among the surrounding steel buildings, not to mention the sign of a gear on top of the minaret.

That should be his destination.

"There's a lot of elemental material here." Lucilia sat on Alka's shoulder, observing the shops around her.

Since it is located at the intersection of the city, it is basically the only way for the port to enter the city.

This kind of place sells basically the city's specialties on both sides.

A large number of elemental materials.

Alka came to a stall and took the crystal in his hand and looked at it.

The crystals were stacked haphazardly in a box, each about the size of a thumb's fingernail.

Through the different colors, it can be distinguished that all of them are condensed elemental energy of a single attribute.

It's useful, but it's not much useful for the most part.

It can be used as a medium of energy.

Seeing Arka holding the crystal and looking over and over again, the boss opened his mouth to scold but silently closed his mouth.

A simple look shows that Arka isn't much to mess with, let alone the little guy sitting on his shoulder.

A very special combination means that a small boss like him can't afford to provoke him, silently suppressing his irritable temper.

The boss changed out a smile from the business day and asked, "Does this customer want to buy this element battery?" ”

"Elemental batteries? It's quite appropriate. ”

"How did this battery come about? Is there a greater energy and more balanced? ”

"This is probably the first time a guest has been here, these elemental batteries are our specialties here. It is constructed by harvesting some additional spilled energy from the central elemental pool.

Of course, there are bigger and more powerful ones, but you can only go to some bigger stores, more professional places to buy. ”

The boss replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Arka nodded and took a few at random. Asked for the price, took out a few silver snakes, and left.

It's equivalent to intelligence money.

Walking through the street and going inside, you can tell where the church is located, which should be the inner direction of the whole city.

And through the observation of the street, Arka basically judged that there were some problems.

The area where the church and some tall and splendid buildings are located can be regarded as a relatively expensive area.

The area near the port is a commercial area, and an area where ordinary residents live, and of course it is not up to the standard of a slum.

Further back is the rich area.

"Do you feel it? There is something on the streets of these areas that can suppress the elemental activity.

Each of these shops is located in each of these stores, which makes the overall element of the area active to a certain extent, and it is not too uncomfortable to live here. ”

Arka observed, chatting with Lucilia as he had observed.

Soon the two of them came to the area where the church was located.

The church here is actually composed of two towers, one high and one low.

The towers are attached side by side, and below there is a room building protruding forward.

It looks weird, and some of it is shabby and looks out of place with the glorious buildings around it.
