Winter in the Southern Hemisphere is the opposite of that in the Northern Hemisphere, with June to August being the coldest time of the year.

Far away from the warm climate of Kipchak Suyu, which is close to the equatorial celestial circulation, the farther south it goes, the colder the weather becomes.

In addition, the ocean current close to the west coast of the southern continent is a powerful cold current that pours from the south, and the cold water originating in the polar regions is slightly blue, which makes people shiver at a glance.

Byron and his party had only walked two-thirds of the way when a snowstorm blew in the sky.

Woooooooo

The waves at sea were surging, fist-sized snowflakes smashed down on the face, and the temperature dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius.

Countless ice elemental spirits visible to the naked eye held hands in the sky and cheered "hee-hee-ha", and then melted away the moment they touched the seawater.

Fortunately, the northwest wind blows on the west coast in July, and the [Golden Deer] is at least accompanied by the most suitable port side wind, so that it will not be both against the water and the wind in this kind of ghost weather.

Moreover, the ship had sufficient supplies, and under the command of officers such as Bruch, Gus, and Eight Fingers, who were born in the bay, the crew also changed into thick winter coats in time.

At the bow of the boat, Violet returned to her original appearance, in addition to a well-cut cashmere lady dress, she also wore a white deerskin coat given by Princess Aya, which looked particularly pretty and cute.

The princess spread out her white palm to catch the snowflakes in the sky, watching them gradually melt by her own body temperature.

The sapphire-like eyes are dotted with stars, and they are obviously more accustomed to this kind of weather similar to their hometown of Iron Anchor Bay than the tropics, not only do they not feel cold, but they even feel a lot more uplifted.

"Byron, in our homeland it gets colder the farther north it goes, but in the southern hemisphere it gets colder the farther south it gets.

This coastal cold current is also exceptionally strong, 400 kilometers wide and thousands of kilometers long, so it's no wonder that Kuroshio Island can marinate dried stinky sharks like Iron Anchor Bay.

It allows many boreal creatures to thrive on the Ground Bird Islands.

The world is amazing. ”

Every Bayrean has a restless blood factor in their bodies, and venturing all the way to the end of the world is Violet's favorite thing to do besides studying explosives.

Byron stood beside the girl, and naturally took her tender little hands into his pockets to help her regain her warmth.

At this moment, in the waves in front of the two, a huge school of fish jumped out of the sea one after another to avoid the predators.

This cold snap along the West Coast is larger than the First Circulation Zone, and the nutrients it upturn up even create a huge super fishing ground.

Sardines, bonito, and cod, which are many times larger than their counterparts elsewhere, are everywhere.

Even if there are no special products such as whale oil, rubber, tung oil, gold and silver, just coming here to catch fish will definitely make fishermen make a lot of money.

In addition, this huge cold snap brought not only huge schools of fish, but also something unusual further south.

Byron, who was ostensibly accompanying Violet to enjoy the scenery, was actually seriously searching the sea, suddenly brightened up in front of him:

"Found it, there's another one here."

With a gesture of raising his hand, the whirling wind elemental hand fished up a glass wine bottle from the sea and landed in Byron's hand.

It is clear that the bottle is tightly corked and contains a rolled parchment note in the belly of the bottle, which is a standard drifting bottle.

Looking down, at this time, there were already five or six empty wine bottles under their feet, all of which were the harvest they had gained on the way south.

Apparently there were far more drifting bottles scattered across this cold snap than they had imagined at first.

However, after opening, all the slips of paper inside the drifting bottle had only the same coordinates and the same sentence written in red ink and rune characters:

"The edge of the world, 57.3 degrees south latitude, 66 degrees west longitude.

Remember, the Great Flood never receded! ”

Even this bottle that has just been caught is no exception.

It's just that Byron knew when he smelled it that it was not red ink on these parchments, but human blood!

The handwriting and blood source in each bottle are not exactly the same, and it seems that many people have written many letters in the bottle with their own blood.

Obviously, this thing was strange from the start.

As the Golden Deer got closer and closer to the destination marked on the note, the handwriting on the drifting bottle found became more and more messy and distorted, and the words gradually became filled with a frenzy that was difficult to ignore.

By the time the seventh drifting bottle was retrieved, the handwriting on it was almost illegible, with suspicious dry water stains.

It no longer looks like the work of a human hand, but more like it is written by a wet alien body.

And just by looking at it, it seems that the madness that has condensed into substance has turned into a parasite, and it wants to burrow into the brain from the eyes.

Of course, this level of pollution can't be compared to Byron, a fourth-order mythical creature, and its lethality is not comparable to a wisp of cold wind.

He handed the note to Violet beside him:

"It's obviously getting worse and worse there, and the memetic contamination is getting worse."

Turning his head and asking Gus, who had walked beside him:

"How's Nittenham?"

"Captain, he just accidentally saw the first one, the pollution is not heavy, and he has just come to his senses."

Gus was also a little scared.

At first, the crew on duty did not notice that there was a problem with the Drifting Bottle, and a native crew member from the Azk Empire was accidentally recruited.

The symptom is also very bizarre, that is, I involuntarily pick up a quill pen, copy this information with various writing materials around me, and then put it in an empty rum bottle and throw it into the sea.

He had never learned the rune characters, but he wrote well, and without dipping it in ink, the blood in his body would automatically flow into the nib of the pen for him to write.

The more copies you make, the more frantic the spirit becomes.

This is undoubtedly a special meme: "that is, mental pollution achieved through imitation, especially good at disseminating information." ”

Byron didn't let his crew's condition deteriorate, and only a drop of [Transmutation Blood] saved the man.

Theoretically, as long as there are enough people to eat, even the existence of the size of the old gods can regain consciousness, and it is natural to use the blood of transmutation to solve such a small problem.

However, they are influenced by memes, and the information that spreads unconsciously makes Byron particularly concerned.

The coordinates marked with the coordinates "Edge of the World" are the glacial archipelago that Byron and Violet saw in the notes of the [Father of the Sharks]!

Pohnpei, the father of sharks, wrote in his notes:

"The whole is in the shape of a turnip, the southernmost part of the Southern Continent, which is about half the size of the Old World, and the starting point of the Second Circulation Zone, there is a glacial archipelago.

It seems that someone above worships a fifth-order pseudo-god-level [Tide Hunter]. ”

Pohnpei suspected that there might be people from other branches of the Fracture Order who had bypassed them and quietly established a foothold on the Southern Continent.

But Byron and Violet felt that there was another possibility.

That is the [false god] who is worshipped, and perhaps it is the [whale hunter] Jack Harold who also practices the curse of calamity.

The first destination of the two of them was here, to find out if the [Whale Hunter] had left any clues for their descendants, and where the people had gone.

Now it seems that something seriously wrong with that race, which may have been established by the whale hunters themselves and worshipped themselves.

What made Byron care more was the second half of the sentence.

"The Great Flood never receded!"

Looking up at his logbook, it read exactly the same paragraph, only slightly more than the one on the drifting bottle.

"Remember! The great flood of this world has never receded, be sure to fasten your anchor firmly (Chapter 33)! ”

The text is the same Lune character, and even the urgency between the lines is almost identical.

The moment he saw this passage, the [Secret: Prophecy, Kingship, and Hunting God's Woden's Prophecy of Racial Revival, Historical Influence 69] also increased from 51% to 52%.

The last time this secret appeared to be a density-boosting, it was because of a message that was inadvertently revealed when the [Father of the Sharks] communicated with Dagon:

"These deep-sea clansmen have only been climbing up from the sea for many years since the tide and sea level of essentia in the whole world continue to rise.

In the dreams of the Old Gods, the essentia tides will intensify, and the next 'Age of Annihilation' will finally wash them and all the Deepsea Clans ashore. ”

After associating the two pieces of information before and after, it is not difficult to judge that the "Great Flood" is obviously not an ordinary flood, but most likely a essentia tide from outside the sky, and it is an extremely terrifying tide!

Coincidentally, there are legends of the Great Flood in the ancient texts of the Old World, in the Bantaan Islands, and in the Solar Empire.

The last time it happened was around the turn of the "Mythical Age" and the "Silver Age".

"The 'era of annihilation' in the mouths of those dependents is obviously not alarmist.

Is it possible that a supernatural disaster such as the 'Great Flood' was a precursor to the change of epochs?

Could it be that the believers of the [Whale Hunter] in the Glacier Islands encountered some unusual accident and had to warn the outside world in this way? ”

Thinking of this, Byron summoned the succubus Theris, who changed into a black tight leather coat and stepped on open-toed high heels, not afraid of the cold at all.

After giving a general account of the information he currently had, he asked her:

"Miss Thelise, you must also have the blood of the Old World.

Where did those old gods who landed in the Hundred Beasts Paradise come from? How much do you know about the Great Flood and the Annihilation? ”

Thelisa clearly knows more than Freya, the God of Love and Beauty of the Deep Diving Church.

After a little muttering, he explained to Byron:

"The vast and treacherous seas divide several continents, completely severing the human race from the catastrophe at the end of the mythological age.

But there is one natural phenomenon that cannot be broken, and that is the blue hole.

From time to time, a random blue hole connects the entire sea, bringing with it things that don't belong to a certain part of the sea.

And there is a rule, just like water flowing down, blue holes usually send things higher to lower places, not the other way around, unless there is an external force to interfere.

In the occult, it means that all kinds of things will be sent from the old continent, which has the calmest tidal activity and the highest terrain, to the southern continent, the eastern continent across the sea, and even the essentia sea!

As a result, many Old Worlders in all eras have disappeared into the world due to the Blue Hole, and in fact they are passive immigrants.

For example, the succubus of our Sisterhood of Pleasure was sent to a mirrored island in the essentia Sea from the beginning.

In order to adapt to the high concentration of essentia, a black mass ceremony was held to desecrate the holy relics of the church, and the collective transformation from mortals to natural transcendent dependents.

But there are too few male succubi, and the race can only be continued by relying on the fertility worship of our lord Lilith.

It was only in previous years, when the essentia concentration and occult water levels in the material world continued to rise, that we were able to climb ashore from the essentia sea through the rifts in the world in increasing numbers.

As far as I know, a series of orders on the east coast of the Southern Continent:

This is mostly the case with the Deep Diving Church, the Rift Order, the Feasting Sisterhood, the Church of the Blind, the Bloodbeast Lair, the Vengeful Blade, the Voodoo, and so on. ”

Byron bowed his head silently, he could see that Thelise was not lying.

The ancestors of those "Bay People Exiles" also came to the Southern Continent after being swallowed up by an inexplicable blue hole when they strayed into the windless zone.

According to the notes, the main members of the Abbey of the Rift were also Old World immigrants.

Even though the Old Gods have been dead for many years, they still seem to have a soft spot for the believers of the Old World when it comes to choosing their families, and they are extremely hostile to the Church, or the Bound Creator!

It seems quite reasonable that a group of dead old gods are naturally hostile to the only great being who is still alive.

Of course, it is not excluded that the Creator did something to them.

Byron thought of this and continued to ask:

"What about the Great Flood?

Do the clansmen who crawled out of the essentia know what happened during Ragnarok? ”

The succubus Thelise touched the mutilated zero-level holy relic [Blood Cup] in her hand, and her eyes showed the color of memory:

"The information we have is only the whispering of the corpses of the gods, fragmented and fragmented.

As we all know, a sudden, yet extraordinarily tragic battle of the gods ended a mythical era ruled by the gods.

After that, the Silver Age ruled by the so-called One God [Creator] was able to gradually begin.

From the fact that almost all the zero-level holy relics left in the world were smashed into pieces, it can be seen how tragic that war of the gods was. ”

When she said this, a trace of disbelief appeared on Thelise's face:

"However, although the war of the gods is fierce.

We, the clans of the gods, have found out that the reason why the gods they serve fall into eternal sleep is not because they have been killed by other great beings.

From the fragmented whispers of the corpses of the gods, we know that the cause of their death is very consistent, that they were all drowned by a great flood that followed! ”
