Chapter 1253 The Surging Enemy Forces Outside the Mysterious Lock (Updated Update 13)

"This is the sea route from Nevis to the New World..."

"This is the sea route from the New World to Yongju Island... This port is further north than ours. It is in the territory of the Governor-General of Pellu. If you start from here, senior brother, you may need to correct the channel..."

On the top floor of the mage tower, Grete took out the pendant left to him by his original mother, activated the light and shadow on it, and carefully explained to his senior brother the route to the Elf Island.

Well, there is a parliament, so we still have to talk about it. The map in the hands of senior brother may not be as detailed as what is recorded in the pendant...

"Sail straight to the west. There is a sickle-shaped island here. There are two bays and a lagoon on the island, where you can replenish fresh water. This island is also the gateway to Yongju Island. As long as the gatekeeper sends a signal, someone will take you. Passing through the mystery..."

"The way to identify the stars on the road...the way to measure the stars and calculate the distance...the stars here are very different from those in Nevis. Senior brother, you should remember it carefully..."

Ashe Moonsong sat boredly at the window of the mage tower. Really, what's the point of leaving her here to listen? Ask her to check for Gretel's mistakes and correct some mistakes?

She has not been back to Yongju Island in so many years, and she has only taken the ship from Yongju Island to the New World once! And it’s not like she can sail a boat, recognize the stars, control the sails, etc., she doesn’t know how!

Little Grete is so well-behaved, he won’t say nonsense about things that shouldn’t be said...

Gretel talked with Archmage Baierbo for a full day, and the elf elders also took advantage of this day to have secret talks with the Sun God.

About the elven secret realm, about the ores in the secret realm, about the Glorious Holy See, and about the magicians...

Of course, the elders must make arrangements for the children who stayed in the big forest before leaving. Facing the possible invasion of the Glory Holy See, the Sun God and his kingdom are the strongest reinforcements that the elf elders can find.

Early the next morning, the Elf Alchemy Ship unfurled its sails again, jumped over the forested mountains, and glided down from the backbone of the earth. Gretel was sitting at the breakfast table, listening to Elder Melinsela chatting:

"Sacilia is a lovely girl. She can transform into many different forms. In addition to the alchemy ship flying in the sky, she can also transform into a wider sea ship with a sharper bottom, which makes the speed slower. But the consumption is much smaller..."

"Sacilia is so amazing." Grete put down the spoon and gently touched the wooden board of the table. Above his head, a vine swayed happily and handed him another bunch of berries.

"But if it turns into a sea ship, will it be dangerous when encountering wind and waves?" Grete picked a berry from the vine, held it on his fingertips, and asked sincerely:

"And when the wind and waves are too strong, even if you want to fly, it will be difficult, right?"

"Ah... don't worry about that." The elf elders smiled at each other. In front of Grete, the vines shuttled and weaved on their own, transforming from a ship with pointed ends and a curved bottom into a streamlined pointed shuttle shaped like a date pit...

"submarine?"

Grete let out a low sound of surprise. Among the 7th level spells of the plastic energy system, there is also the magic of [Submarine], which can be attached to the hull of a ship, providing the hull with the strength to withstand external water pressure, and allowing the people in the ship to breathe normally——

If it is not fixed on the hull, its duration depends on the level of the mage, which can last approximately 1 hour per level.

However, this elf ship itself has clearly become a submarine in terms of physical structure, and the entire hull is completely enclosed. Moreover, its shape is already very scientific!

"How deep can this submarine dive?"

"Haha, little Grete, if you are interested in the future, we will find an opportunity to take you on a boat ride. But we can't do it now. Now we have to rush back at full speed and we can't delay on the sea."

"Yes - those sea tribes are also very fierce! If we are attacked by them, there will be endless troubles! Speaking of which, when we go back this time, we must not see the sea tribes attacking us..."

Sea Clan?

What kind of sea tribe?

What races do they have, what do they look like, and what are their levels? Are there intelligent creatures, are there magicians? Is there a leader, is there a kingdom?

Is it female, male, hermaphrodite, or can it switch gender back and forth?

Grete was extremely curious. Among the navy and sailors on the trade routes, there are also legends about the sea people, such as sirens who can sing and confuse people, octopuses that can drag ships into the water, or whales as big as small islands, etc.

However, according to the official records of the Parliament, there are no intelligent races living in the sea, whether in the Sea of ​​Storms or in the waters near the Black Gate Peninsula.

So, did they migrate collectively to the west of the New World during some past event?

Unfortunately, the Elf legends did not satisfy his curiosity. After breakfast, the elders dispersed, meditating and studying. Gretel had no choice but to get into the study and study hard——

At this time, none of the rabbits he raised had given birth yet, so he had no way to extract umbilical cord blood!

Study, study!

It’s just a little bit away, [Mage’s Mansion] is about to learn it! As long as he learns this spell, he will have a portable hospital that he can carry with him and last for a very long time!

The alchemy tree boat spread its wings, sailed down the mountain with the wind, and flew towards the sunset's defense line. It only took a little more than a week. When Grete leaned against the window and looked into the distance, he saw flocks of white seagulls flying up and down.

"Are we almost seeing land?"

On the side of the ship, Gretel tried his best to stand on tiptoes and look out at the sea outside the ship. Now the potential energy of gliding down from a high place has been almost exhausted. They are less than 10 meters away from the sea surface, and relatively large waves can even hit the bottom of the boat;

Looking down from the side of the ship, you can see dolphins occasionally jumping out of the water and the huge backs of whales;

Some lively young elves will even jump out of the side of the ship, jump into the sea, take a good swim, and then fly back to the ship.

"Yes." Elder Masrei walked to him and smiled happily. This elder, who majored in earth magic, was a bit unadapted to flying in the air and traveling on the sea. These days, he almost stayed in the cabin;

However, seeing his hometown in sight, Elder Masrei became very excited. Standing next to Gretel, pointing:

"Did you see the place where those seagulls flew up? There is Qianshao Island. Not far from Qianshao Island, there is the mystery of Yongju Island. When we arrive at Qianshao Island, we will land and then sail across the sea. "

"No more flying?"

"Of course I won't fly." Elder Carreon also walked out. This elder, who was profound in magic cultivation and even participated in maintaining the secret lock of Yongju Island, looked at Outpost Island from a distance and smiled proudly:

"No one is allowed to fly around in the Great Mystery Lock! Except in very urgent situations, otherwise, even if the legend returns, he must travel on the sea, and absolutely cannot wander around!"

The elven ship flew lower and lower, lower and lower. The hull became shorter and wider, and a raised keel appeared under the bottom of the ship, preparing it for contact with sea water.

The cabin in the center of the hull is pushed to both ends, and the flat bows on both sides are raised high, drawing a beautiful arc.

On both sides of the ship, the solid, broad wings made of giant trees and branches were retracted silently, and three tall masts were erected in the center of the ship.

Grete concentrated on holding his breath, holding on to the side of the ship, and even spread his legs to take a horse stance, preparing to withstand the impact of the ship entering the water. Turning his head, Elder Kallen next to him also grasped the side of the ship, concentrating and holding his breath...

Gentle magic waves rippled from Elder Kallen and from two other places on the ship at the same time. Gretel suddenly felt that his body was unusually light, as if he was about to float in the wind.

There were waves of waves below, and occasionally small water mist splashed up and hit Gretel on the face. Under the magic of the elders, the entire ship was like a soft leaf, floating lightly on the sea, without even stirring up more waves——

Grete even felt that he heard Sacilia's laughter.

"Falling from a high altitude is also a great burden for her. At this time, if we can help her, we will help her." Elder Melinsela walked out of the captain's room.

She patted the side of the ship at her hand - every piece of wooden structure on the ship was part of the ancient tree ship - to express her gratitude, then raised her arm and pointed in the direction of the outpost island:

"Sacilia, let's go! Let's go home!"

On the three masts, dozens of horizontal branches appeared out of thin air, the vines were entangled, and the leaves grew densely, turning into three green sails. The green sails were filled with sea breeze, and the ship's hull shook slightly and moved forward at full speed.

Sentinel Island is a small island with a curve of coral reef gently protruding from the water and surrounding a calm lagoon. When the tide is at its highest, only a thin line of coral reef emerges from the water, delineating the lagoon;

When the tide reaches its lowest point, large tracts of coral reefs are exposed, narrowing the entire lagoon to only a small opening. Any violent waves will become docile when they reach here, allowing ships to anchor safely in the middle of the lake.

On the rocks, there is a dazzling array of shellfish, crabs, mudskippers, and shrimps, attracting countless seabirds to fly around and save enough food for themselves and their families for a day.

Normally, there would be several light canoes parked in the center of the lagoon. Once a ship returns or a guest arrives, the elves on duty in the woods on the island will send a signal to the inside of the mystery lock, and then paddle a canoe to guide the guests...

However, this time, it seemed as if a violent hurricane had passed over the island. The canoe overturned and smashed on the coral reef, its fragments scattered everywhere;

The trees on the island were swept by huge forces, some were uprooted, some were broken, and some fell in pieces;

As for the elves...the elves who live on the island...

There are no more elves. The elegant tree house, the blooming flowers in front of the tree house, the beautiful handicrafts carved from shells, the ingenious decorations arranged with pearls... were all crushed to pieces.

The faces of the elders all darkened. The young elves looked left and right, but no one dared to disturb them at this time. Gretel saw a young elf next to him with trembling lips and whispering:

"Enan... Rocart... Kara..."

Probably the name of the elves who live on the outpost island. However, no matter how much they talked and searched on the island, the missing figure never appeared again.

The four elders filed forward and walked past the canoes, woods and treehouses, talking with the uprooted and broken trees, broken and fallen shrubs, and dying treehouses. After a long, long time, I sighed:

"They're not dead. They were taken. - Chase!"

"But……"

"What's the matter, Grete?"

Elder Melinthera asked as kindly as possible. Gretel carefully observed her face:

"Something happened here. Where is Yongju Island? Where is Great Missuo?"

"That's where the intruders go.—Go!"

Everyone immediately boarded the ship and set sail. Sasilia was slightly shocked, and a thin mist surrounded her, but it had been blessed with group invisibility.

The alchemy ship moved forward at full speed, and not long after, the mysterious lock surrounding Yongju Island appeared in front of everyone——

Around Misuo, waves of blood were already rolling, and the sound of killing was loud.
