Chapter 267 Ending and Harvest
Even if it is difficult to live like a year, there will always be a time to grit your teeth and carry it through.
This season the sunset is around 6:30 pm and the sunrise time is around 5:50 am.
Tick-tick
The second hand is beating.
Seeing that the long-awaited time arrives little by little.
The three of Alwin and the crew members who have almost completely metabolized after a night of medicine efficacy, all stretched their necks and raised their heads in anticipation of the first ray of sunshine in the sky.
However, the world outside, which is composed of countless black, white, and gray lines and color blocks, has not changed at all.
“What’s the matter?”
Moreover, the characteristics of “ghost cloak” are that they can only be effective in the dark. If they return to the sun, they will be instantly removed from it. Kicked out in this illusory “ghost” state.
So it’s not that there is a problem with my vision, but the sun really hasn’t risen yet!
Until the time has come to six o’clock in the morning, ten minutes past the normal sunrise time, the expected sunshine still hasn’t arrived.
“It’s not quite right!”
Human eyes can’t tell what’s going on in the pure grey sky shrouded by the “ghost cloak”.
Even Alwin’s reconnaissance network has failed.
Because at the moment of opening the “ghost cloak”, the inexplicable connection maintained by the seabirds through the “extraordinary sense of direction” was blocked by the absolute extraordinary power of the “ocean treasure”.
At this time, he couldn’t use the vision of these scouts outside.
So, he jumped straight up.
Whoosh——
Like an ape, jumping on the main mast’s jib, with the help of rigging, she dexterously jumped from the pole’s jib to the main mast. top.
He took off and jumped five meters high again, and he has come to an altitude of fifty meters above sea level!
啵——
The upper body has broken through the barrier made by the “ghost cloak”, and I have seen with my own eyes the world where the outside world has returned to normal.
I also saw the truth that I had guessed but never wanted to believe. Today is cloudy!
The clouds that cover the entire sky are connected to form a smooth cloud base, without even a trace of subtle skylight, and looking at this, it cannot be ruled out that the cloud layer will be further thickened and slowly catalyzed. The possibility of a downpour.
Call—
The body falls again under the force of gravity.
Break through the barrier formed by the “ghost cloak”, even if it is not in the mind, relying on the strong instinct of the body, it can also rely on the boom and rigging to return to the deck safely.
Tread!
The first mate Borg, who was lying on the deck, shifted a bit. He didn’t know whether it was because of an illusion or because he was tied for too long. He felt that his hands and feet were already somewhat numb.
Looked towards Alwin with everyone.
But noticing the look on his face, everyone has realized what happened outside.
The look of anticipation turned into disappointment again, and the current situation is really bad.
Outside.
Except for the part that saw that the situation was far from good and escaped into the sea, few lizards who stayed on the island and got involved in the “fight” have survived.
Facing the tragic death of the same kind, more than a dozen giant beasts roared furiously all night long.
The crew had no doubts that the Horn of the Storm would be ruthless ripped to shreds the moment the Ghost cloak lifted.
included.
While the “ghost cloak” perfectly protects everyone, the unknown side effect is like a sword of Damocles hanging over everyone’s heads, making them trembling every second in fear.
At this time, the bad news that Alwin brought back made them realize that this state of affairs would continue, and the deadline was unknown.
Their situation is like being hung by a rope smeared with chronic poison above a snake cave full of poisonous snakes. Letting go means death!
Alwin casts suspicion on Milan, this guy won’t secretly use “Fate” again, right? Otherwise, how could these people be so unlucky today? !
However, Alwin changed the question, even if Milan was plagued by bad luck, the bad luck should be himself.
“Has the prophecy been deciphered?”
During the waiting time, they did nothing.
At least, Milan has finally fulfilled the prophecy that she had planned to make at the beginning.
But based on the current predicament, a group of 284 crew members, a group of large lizards headed by two third rank giant beasts, the “Black Dike” rooted in another world, and Milan, who is even himself A party in deep trouble.
So, although the extremely vague result came out, it was not nearly as good.
“The hope of solving the besieged city, the stranded messengers, and the dilemma of the distant stars is not in this world!”
After divination, even Milan himself was a little irritable and caught Scratching messy hair.
“Or, let’s just drop alchemy bombs with ‘frigatebirds’ and ‘giant albatrosses’ to focus on that lizard king?”
However, say this remark Milan also knows that this is just angry words.
Even if they still have a bunch of alchemy bombs in their hands, it’s enough to deal with sea monsters of the same size, but it’s based on the premise that the lizards won’t hide in the shadows.
It’s still pitch black outside. If you drop the alchemy bomb without thinking, it won’t have any effect except to hear it.
The anxiety continued to spread, and if the crew hadn’t been tied up, Alwin would have wondered if his ship would have bombed the camp under such pressure.
Suddenly.
“Listen!”
At Alwin’s reminder, they heard the roars from outside suddenly fall silent.
Then, the black-gray lines and color blocks that formed the lizard’s body in the “ghost”‘s field of vision rapidly collapsed into thin, graffiti-like pieces of paper.
Finally a little bit thoroughly disappeared.
“The lizards used Shadow!”
“They hid again? What are they trying to do?”
At this time, the crew members were already startled. , any hint of trouble made them nervous.
For a short time.
All the lizards that stayed on the surface of the island, whether giant beasts or surviving common lizards, disappeared before them.
crash-bang
Immediately afterwards, a huge sound of running water resounded in their ears like a waterfall.
The hull of Cape Storm began to bob up and down with the water in the lagoon.
It is accompanied by a strong sense of weightlessness.
Ah—!
The crew screamed.
It seems to have returned to the sea where the “rainstorm” is raging, and the sea under the ship will shake and collapse at any time.
The crew that didn’t fix themselves had already started to roll on the deck, even if they were knocked down with bloody nose and swollen face, they couldn’t care about it, they raised their heads to see what happened .
Even if you die, you can’t die, I don’t understand!
Alwin, however, had a look of surprise on his face.
“Is this the end of the ‘Black Dike’?”
With Alwin’s eyesight, he has keenly noticed that this ring of islands and reefs starts from the outermost periphery and has begun to slowly fade away. change.
It’s like two overlapping pieces of paper, slowly separating and drifting apart on a spatial scale, but people on this piece of paper can still observe through their final connection with the world to this change.
I have to say that this bizarre sight has been rarely seen by many people in their lives.
It was only because of another large-scale change in the environment that the lizards hid in the shadows again, finally allowing them to sighed in relief.
“But, Alwin! We are now in the middle of this island and reef, will we be taken out of the material world together?”
“Uh”
p>
Thinking of that terrifying ending, even the two most knowledgeable wizards on board couldn’t help being complexion stiffened.
Fortunately.
The situation didn’t turn out to be the most sinister form after all.
Compared to the roughness of the “black embankment” appearing as if it crashed into this world at once, but when it leaves, it disappears silently like the melting of ice and snow.
Except for the violent shaking caused by the inversion of the sea due to the disappearance of the island, the “Cape of Storms” never encountered other accidents.
When the first raindrops in the sky fell on the battleship, the ring-shaped volcanic reef that surrounded them one day and one night had completely disappeared without a trace.
The Cape Storm is finally free from being trapped in the lagoon!
The exhausted and even nerve-wracking crew didn’t even have the strength to cheer after their near-death in the end.
Sa—
Alwin has immediately removed the “ghost cloak”.
Then he punched and bounced, and with the “data-based vision” monitoring his body in all directions, he didn’t find anything wrong with his body.
Was it because the Madness Potion did the job it was supposed to, or was one night not enough time for the side effects to manifest? He doesn’t know.
In the next instant, because the effect of this “ocean secret treasure” was lifted, the negative feelings of pain and exhaustion that had accumulated before immediately surged.
It seemed like a week straight overnight, and then 20 roller coasters right away, making people so sad that they were dizzy and almost fell over.
Even Alwin feels this way, and you can imagine what state the crew will be in.
Coupled with the side effects of terrifying, although the “ghost cloak” is the main contributor to saving his entire ship this time, Alwin is already thinking about finding opportunities to do transcenders with Necronomicon or related paths. Swap at once.
Even if the ability is not so perverted, it is better than this indefinite time bomb that will explode at a certain time.
And the user experience is terrible! Shit
As for before that, if you encounter an irresistible danger, if you ask Alwin whether to use it or not?
Ugh, it’s delicious!
Suddenly.
Sigh! Sigh!
“en?”
The gradually stronger wind and rain rolled the cloak on his body, making a loud noise, and Alwin, who was barely recovering with the transcender’s physical fitness, stood on the ground. On the bow looked towards the outside.
I saw a dozen or so pitch-black lizards floating on the sea, staring at red and making a helpless bark like an abandoned puppy.
Alwin was instantly happy:
“tsk tsk tsk, these poor little ones have been abandoned, come to you Alwin Uncle!”
no doubt.
These guys should be the survivors who escaped into the sea when the “Frenzy Potions” was in full swing, but they failed to return to the island in time when the “Black Dike” ended, and were left unlucky in the material world .
Obviously, the intersection and separation of the two worlds cannot accurately locate every visitor, and it is still possible to leave something or take something away occasionally.
And these lizards can adapt to life on the island, but it does not mean that they are amphibians and can always live in the sea.
Especially in this deep-sea Sea Territory with an average depth of nearly 1,200 meters, no island has to sink into the seabed sooner or later.
So, in order not to let them die so painfully, Alwin decided to turn them all into raw materials for his “wild talisman”!
After accepting inheritance, the “Wild Amulet” that has never been able to open now finally has the object of training, which also allows Alwin to make up for the last shortcoming of the three official wizards.
Alwin, who didn’t even dare to breathe under the lewd power of the giant beasts, was instantly refreshed.
“Cannot afford to offend the big ones, can’t the small ones be cured?”
Jumped off the boat and caught all the “lucky ones” who escaped the disaster by hand Cape Storm was lined up on the deck.
These motionless shadow lizards look like marine iguanas.
Sharp claws and long tails, just with fine scales on the wrinkled skin, as smooth as a pure black non-reflective mirror, better than the appearance of marine iguanas too much.
But now these “equipments” used to protect them are no longer useful.
Through the witchcraft of inheritance in the school, it was identified that the concentrated part of the spirituality of these shadow lizards is a vertical scale on the top of the head.
Generally the scales are used as a means of intimidation when they are angry.
The following work is easy.
“The father’s debt is repaid by the son, very fair!”
What kind of debt do you ask? Mental damage fee!
The rune is drawn on their scales to ensure maximum retention of spirituality and supernatural qualities when their life dissipates, all concentrated on that vertical scale.
The means are skipped.
In the end, Alwin got a total of fifteen talisman materials with complete spirituality.
The rest of the crew was carried to the kitchen by the crew members, whose limbs were still a little weak.
In any case, these are demonized creatures from other worlds, and they are a great supplement to the ordinary person!
“First mate, you command, we will continue to return.”
Instruct the first mate to command the “Cape of the Storm” to return to Nisk.
Alwin himself returned to his laboratory with his own spills of war, ready to study the making of “Wild Amulet”.
Having been suffering from lack of suitable raw materials for training, the research project of the Wild Amulet has not been started. Now that the problem of raw materials has been solved, Alwin has been itching for the crew to prepare meals.
This accidental encounter with the “Black Dike” was much more torturous than when Cyrus’ “Guardian Commander” attacked him, and even more tiring than a brutal naval battle. people.
But for Alwin himself, it was a plentiful harvest.
At least, after today.
Alwin’s research progress, which was already making great strides towards the official wizard, has been accelerated again by the fact that the spirit strength index has reached the standard and the three primary qualities of “Kingdom”, “Foundation” and “Brightness” have been inscribed. cut.
“Activated Plants” has basically reached the prerequisite;
“Potions” moved the last two mountains before “Psychic Potions”;
Now I have acquired the spirituality materials of the demonized creatures, and the independently produced “wild amulet” is already in sight.
Although the process of thinking about it is thrilling, it is also a lot of harvest.
Whether the risk you take is proportional to the return you get is a matter of what the benevolent sees, the wise sees wisdom.
