Due to the influence of high temperatures and updrafts, the interior of the "Snake of the World: Celestial Circulation" is foggy all year round.

In a certain area of calm water, where only the ocean current flows slowly from east to west, but there is no sea breeze, a black crack like a scar stretches across the sky and the sea.

It is hundreds of meters long and 10 meters wide, half of which is soaked in sea water and half stretches high into the sky.

Through this crack, you can clearly see the raging sea of essentia on the opposite side, and a group of strange-looking fish swimming in and out of the crack.

The overall look looks like a group of clownfish that meet each other in red and white, but they all really have a miserable white clown face.

This is a group of [Grotesque Clownfish].

This grotesqueness, which feeds on the fears of intelligent beings, is clearly not interested in the uninhabited seas of the material world on this side of the rift.

After swimming around for a while, they didn't find the smell of "food", and they didn't like the low-magic environment of the material world very much, and were about to swim back to the Sea of Essentia.

But he saw that there seemed to be a flash of golden light on the other side of the crack, and then a slender warship with a golden light was pushed by a strong wind and rushed into the material world from the crack at high speed.

The two parties collided head-on, and a blood mist suddenly exploded in the clownfish school.

Some even rose into the air, tumbled backwards for two and a half weeks, and after three weeks of turning and falling into the water again, they had become a pile of bloody rags.

The people on the [Golden Deer] didn't pay attention to this small accident at all, and it wasn't until they ran a hundred meters later that they had time to look back at the group of pursuers who had stopped in front of the crack.

They all breathed a sigh of relief:

"Damn grotesque [lanternfish], damn phototaxis, we've finally escaped alive from the essentia sea.

God willing. ”

"Long live the Captain! Once again, we have won over the Grim Reaper. ”

"We can escape from the essentia sea alive, but it is enough to boast of a lifetime of miracles to our children and grandchildren.

It's a great wonder that is even more impossible than challenging the sea of monsters. ”

"I'm going to compile my logbook into a biography, and let the bards sing about the captain's exploits."

There was jubilation on the Golden Deer.

The excitement of returning safely from the essentia sea was no less than that of being the ultimate victor in the "Octagonal Iron Cage".

Even if Byron had [Weather Instinct], it would not be easy to find a second-level world rift that would allow the passage of medium-level transcendents and large ships.

The journey was only a few hours, but it was full of dangers.

They didn't die at the hands of the Octopus battleship Maywind and the ghost ship Black Coffin, but they were nearly torn to shreds by the endless monsters that sprang up in the essentia sea.

For example, he stopped on the other side of the crack now, and kept shouting "Brother, borrow a fire, borrow a fire", and I don't know what I experienced in my life, and [Grotesque Lantern Fish] with strong phototaxis.

In the dark sea of essentia, the golden bottom of the Golden Deer naturally stood out.

Naturally, they were also closely pursued by the giant lanternfish, which were large enough to resemble sea monsters.

Fortunately, Violet stepped in and painted the bottom of the ship with a layer of black paint, so that most of the pursuers were thrown off and they were not surrounded.

"With the captain here, we will have the opportunity to venture into the sea of monsters sooner or later, and maybe we can become the first pirate ship to cross the sea of monsters."

The self-confidence of the crew has swelled unprecedentedly, but Byron has only fear in his heart.

The sea of monsters that makes people talk about it is actually similar to the Sea of Essentia.

Not only are these two places full of monsters, but no matter how experienced you are and how many lesser-known taboo rules you have summed up, there are always new rules waiting for you in the uncharted seas.

If it weren't for the fact that they could use the Witch of Calamity's underwater senses to detect the enemy in advance, the [Logbook]'s ability to be cast would have been extended to sixty meters, allowing them to preemptively detect those grotesque rules in advance.

The Golden Deer may not really be able to get out.

'Sea of Monsters? You can really look up to me.

All I can say is, next time! ’

Soon, a group of sea trolls who were obviously phototaxis, but were afraid of natural sunlight like their deep-sea counterparts, roared unwillingly in front of the crack that was only ten meters wide, and finally gradually receded.

Byron and his party really had time to observe where they had come.

【Weather Intuition】Nature communicates with celestial phenomena.

Through the flow angle of the atmospheric circulation, it was roughly determined that the place where the Golden Deer came out was far away from the Windward Strait and came to the windless zone within the range of five degrees north and south latitudes.

It's just that this place is far away from the Old World and the Bantaan Islands, and even though it is a second-level world rift, it is not guarded by the [Lantern Man].

Anyway, in such an uninhabited place, I couldn't take care of it.

As the captain of the ship, it was not until he confirmed that he was safe that he finally let go of his hanging heart and explained to his crew:

"We're about four degrees north latitude, so it's not too deep into the windless zone.

If it was the previous [Golden Deer], without the bunch of man-eating sharks and fiddler crabs, it might be a bit tricky to encounter this situation.

But having confiscated the loot of those two fourth-order adventurers was no longer a problem at all.

Miss, check out our new ship's bow.

Just head to the windless zone to see how long it takes to recharge after a burst. ”

"Okay."

Violet said yes and jumped lightly onto the headband with which the sails were lifted on three sides.

Bending down to caress a pure white ivory carved bow statue placed under the first oblique girdle, the South Wind Maiden.

The bow statue is carved from the horn of a large sea monster, narwhal, which is actually a long tooth in the narwhal's mouth.

The main body is a slender and graceful, half-naked girl dancing in the wind, wearing only a thin layer of light veil.

But it is a one-to-one scale replica of a beautiful dancer who is dancing the "Dance of the South Wind".

And it is obviously a hard sculpture, but through the body movements of the girl and the layer of tulle, the shape of the wind and the vitality of the rhythm are perfectly outlined.

Just glance at it casually, and you can immediately notice that there is a warm spring breeze blowing slowly around her.

Violet majored in sculpture and painting at the Venaia Academy of Art, and she couldn't help but fall in love with such a masterpiece of art.

I have to admit that even with her professional ability, she is inferior to it.

The third-order master master's identification technique swept over the ship's bow, read its information, and responded to Byron:

"There is also an updraft in the windless zone, and it will take about thirty minutes or so to completely restore normal extraordinary abilities.

The equipment that can be used by fourth-order adventurers is really high-quality. ”

The ghost ship [Black Coffin] and the octopus battleship [Maywind] were all killed, and everything on board naturally became the spoils of the [Golden Deer].

This ship's bow statue [South Wind Maiden] comes from the Maywind, and it is also one of the most practical treasures among them.

Effect:

"First, the wind direction conductor. Distort and change the direction of the wind within a certain range so that the sea breeze blowing over the battleship tends to the side broadside wind that is most conducive to sailing.

Change the angle to plus or minus 30 degrees, and if you exceed this limit, you can only climb like other sailing ships.

Even updrafts can be easily borrowed.

Second, there is no wind and waves. Even if there is no wind, the normally stored wind power can be extracted and the most seaworthy category 5 wind can be continuously supplied for five hours.

If the wind is released in a single 30 minutes, it can briefly raise the ship to 30 knots (55 km/h), which is convenient for accelerating and escaping.

It's just that after the skill bursts, the supernatural ability disappears, and you need to recharge it with the help of wind before you can continue to use it.

For the Golden Deer, it can be charged in half an hour and can last up to 126 kilometers.

3. It comes with a 'south wind veil', which not only cleans itself automatically to ensure that the bow image is always spotless in any bad weather, but also prevents any touch without the owner's permission. ”

The third article seems to be redundant, and it seems that it is only for the protection of works of art, and has no practical value.

But Mr. Byron, as an experienced old captain, knew.

If it weren't for the third function, this kind of lifelike large-scale figure would probably be rolled out by the sailors in a few days.

"Very good, from now on, our Golden Deer can come and go freely in the windless belt without the help of any external force."

Since the Maywind was no longer powered by the wind and sails after it was polluted, the bow statue became a natural ornament for it.

By the way, the [Golden Deer] was also cheaper, and it also allowed this holy relic battleship to make up for the last piece of the shortcoming that could not be seaworthy to the windless zone.

The [Bow Image: Avenger of Vengeance], which was originally transformed by Violet, was also eliminated and could be used to equip another Strange Object Battleship.

Of course, the loot they reaped didn't stop there.

Although the quantity is not very large, each piece is a high-quality product.

Needless to say, although there is a flaw that comes with a gain and a risk, it is still a treasure that every captain dreams of.

Much more powerful than the Nugget Rat that has been transferred to the Beast Trainer Octopus Man Hachi.

It is also the second holy relic related to the Great Voyage that Byron snatched from the Kingdom of Castile after the [First Overseas Exploration Order].

The wool on this sea power overlord is far from being cleaned by him.

The loot on the Black Coffin is not bad, and the corpses of the Smith brothers are good things.

The unprecedented blood of the fourth-order transmutation can make Byron's next bloodline sublimation ritual [Blood Feast Holy Grail] reach the most perfect state.

An undead acolyte whose soul twisted together like a double helix also gave him another hole card that could be transformed at any time.

In particular, it is worth mentioning that the whale oil lamp burning with ghost fire in the hands of Smith the Bearer is actually a pass to the edge of the world in the realm of the dead.

Ordinary ghost ships are ghost ships, and only with such a pass can they travel between reality and the edge of the world as a "soul ferryman", transporting the dead on the sea.

Byron himself didn't need it, but he was going to give it to him when his father came to the door for the first time.

After getting the pass, the father can be regarded as the first step on the road of the "King of the Undead", and has the opportunity to lay a big country for his son.

In addition, Jacqueline also contacted her mother, Megniera, and found that there were four other Strange Beast Ships in the Windward Strait.

The Sea Spider of the Grand Duchy of Courland, the Determination of the Grand Duchy of Andorra, the Sword and Shield Guardian of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, and the Smurfs of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg.

They agreed to be half of the family.

Coupled with the fact that Byron also touched the boundary of [Divine Vision], a series of harvests can undoubtedly be called a great harvest.

At least after casting [Do Not Disturb the Sleeping Dragon] once, you will not lose money.

"It's a pity that the density of solutions has never reached its peak, and my Heavenly Sacred Relic and new entries have also disappeared for the time being."

Byron looked at the last page of the logbook:

[Hidden: The Root of the Bloody Plague, Historical Influence 38] The solution density increased from 68% to 88%, and then it didn't move.

"This shows that even though I witnessed the birth ceremony of the Son of the Sleeping God, I still didn't dig deep enough into this secret.

The influence of 38 points is at least an entire continent-level range, and perhaps I should take a look at the New World south of the Celestial Circulation.

The Scourge of Blood is only the tip of the iceberg of this influence, and the current state of the New World may give me an answer. ”

Byron is not in a hurry, this truth is like the shadow behind the [Red and White Rose War, Influence 31] solution density has stopped at 68%.

Behind the Red and White Rose War, in addition to the White Rose York family, there is also the shadow of the Church Traditionalist and the Bloodthirsty Order.

Byron has not yet found the link that allows the three of them to reach in-depth cooperation, so that the solution density is stuck here.

"We're going to the New World sooner or later, but it's not the time yet.

While emotions urge me to go immediately, reason tells me that impulsiveness doesn't make sense until a series of layouts are complete.

Moreover, the [blue-haired] Barbarossa Hairing, who has been eating and drinking for nothing for a long time in my hands, can almost come in handy.

With a good operation, you might even get help from the West Coast Pirate King [Throne of the Ocean] Barbarossa Hayreddin. ”

At this time, Violet, who was still admiring the bow of the ship, suddenly had a look in her eyes and warned in a loud voice:

"Alert, there's something coming underwater."
