Extraordinary Sailing

On the fantastic and mysterious seas of this otherworldly world, risks abound.

In addition to tsunami, storms and other clichéd extreme celestial phenomena, there are many strange disasters that belong to this world alone, and they can be called "supernatural disasters".

"Black Causeway", "Blue Hole" and "Broken Wave" are typical representatives.

Ever since humans stepped out of the near sea and started sailing in the open sea, their threats to ships and sailors on the sea surface have always existed.

Destructive power and danger are indistinguishable!

Among them, "Broken Wave" is the easiest to understand, and wizards have the most abundant research materials on it.

Obviously, in the study of this dangerous natural disaster, wizards who have both strength and the spirit of seeking knowledge have a lot of advantages over pure scholars.

To put it bluntly, the "broken head wave" means that in the deep sea, the sudden peaks and troughs far exceed the weird waves of the same kind.

It is said that the largest "broken wave" ever witnessed has a height difference close to 40 meters!

You must know that even in the comparison table of wind force and wave height compiled by the Iron Cross Church of "King Power and Goddess of Navigation", the wave height caused by a 12-level hurricane with a maximum of 37 meters per second is only 15 meters.

It is conceivable that the "Headless Wave" can really be decapitated!

Even if it is the most powerful first-class battleship representing the secular world of mankind, if it encounters such a "broken wave" in the open sea, it will be easily broken like a weak straw.

Then he was given a one-way ticket to the bottom of the sea by the deep trough of the "broken head wave", and disappeared completely in the sea.

So clean that not even the tiniest plank will be left behind!

The principle of the "blue hole" is that even the knowledgeable wizards of various universities are a little uncertain.

Through years of observation and historical data collection, it can only be confirmed that its strange effect is: random transmission!

A blue water hole with a diameter ranging from several kilometers to tens of kilometers appeared without warning on the calm sea, and all sea water, fish, shrimp, algae, and even passing ships in this area will be randomized by magical power. Teleport to another place.

It may be another sea area, it may be on land, or it may even be the sky.

Eighty years ago, the Southern Continent Colony of the Phalatis Kingdom reported a ship crash in the sky. Although it caused a heavy loss of a plantation, fortunately there were no casualties.

Of course, if you don't count the original crew on the ship

More "blue hole" victims disappeared without a trace and never appeared in front of the world again.

Some people speculate that the destination of the "blue hole" may be more likely to be on the bottom of the deep sea, or even another world!

This is also the main reason why no powerful wizard dares to enter the blue hole and try it out for himself.

"Black Causeway" may not be so harmful directly compared to the first two, but its impact on this world is far more profound!

Because it has a direct connection with the famous "Shadow World".

"Shadow Realm" is a fantasy world that coexists with the material world in which human beings live.

In this world, there are also mountains, rivers, continents and oceans, and even various human city buildings.

But everything in it is distorted, full of contrasts between black and white, and the colors are monotonous and boring. It is a place that any normal human being would not want to stay for a long time.

The so-called "black embankment" is a strange phenomenon that occurs after the "Shadow Realm" and the material world meet and overlap at a certain moment.

In most cases, there will be random manifestations of things that exist in the Shadow Plane in this world!

Of course, if a barren part of the Shadow Plane manifests in an inaccessible place in the physical world, it will naturally have no effect.

As long as the world separates after a while, the "Black Embankment" will naturally disappear.

But if there is a lair of a powerful shadow world creature that becomes the "Black Embankment" and descends on a bustling human city, it must be a terrible disaster no less than the invasion of evil gods!

However, this time, although Ivan's luck was bad, they were not extremely bad.

First of all, what they encountered was not the expected "mother of sea monsters" to kill chickens.

Secondly, the scale of the "black dike" that appeared this time is not too large, it is just an annular island reef formed by two reefs.

The radius of the island reef is about 7,000 meters, the middle is low and the surroundings are high, just enclosing the "Storm Horn" that was unable to dodge in time in the lagoon in the middle.

There is even a gap in the north and south directions that communicates with the outside sea water, but it is too thin and too shallow to allow the "Storm Horn" to pass through.

Fortunately in misfortune, from the "surface" it seems that there are no shadow world creatures that are too large to sneak over on the island, or that no shadow world creatures have been seen.

Apart from being trapped and unable to move, the Horn of the Storm is not in any danger for the time being.

on the other hand.

If you are unlucky, this time you will happen to hit the large-scale "Black Bank" invasion event.

It may be that the tsunami caused by the overlap of the realms alone could make the "Storm Horn" directly buried in the sea, not to mention the powerful alien creatures that entered the material world together with the "Black Embankment".

"Aiwen, according to the information I have read before, the time of the existence of 'Hei Dike' is uncertain.

It can range from a few hours to a few years, and the smaller the size, the faster it will disappear.

I think the duration of a 'Black Causeway' of this scale may be between half a day and two days. Do you think we should wait for it to go away naturally, or go up and take a look? "

Now that he is sure that he will not be permanently trapped, Milan is eager to try.

The more major events you experience personally, the faster your "prophet" ability will improve. "Black embankment" such a small probability event can be hit by him, if he didn't go up and have a look, it would be a waste of this rare opportunity.

There was no direct answer to Milan.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A group of needle-tailed swifts had shot out under Aiwen's command, and lined up to conduct a net-like investigation on the sudden appearance of the island.

The three armies have not used intelligence first!

The scope of the island is not too large, and the terrain is not complicated. A group of needle-tailed swifts conducts detection work from the sky at an extremely fast speed.

The feedback was quickly conveyed to Ivan's heart: 'There is no shadow of any animal, be safe! '

The island is safe, at least from the seabirds' point of view.

As for whether there is something hidden in the fine cracks of the ground or rocks, they are really helpless with their abilities, and this is also the defect that Aiwen plans to improve in the next step.

In fact, "Garriott Bird Transformation 3.0" was already on the agenda when it was inherited by the "Activation School".

I just want to achieve the effect Ivan expected, and his current apprentice-level spellcasting ability is still a bit short.

The transformation design has been completed, and it can be officially launched only after you break through the official wizard!

"Let's go, Milan and Gary follow me, and the others stay behind the Horn of the Storm.

Level 2 alert! The gunner is ready to support at any time! "

Passive waiting has never been Aiwen's style. Even if you don't do anything, you have to wait for a day or so. Why don't you go to this island to find out.

Even if there is any danger, it is much better to be detonated when all personnel are on high alert than to be stolen without knowing it.

Therefore, Aiwen raised the alert level of the "Storm Horn" before departure, just in case.

"Follow your command, Captain! Gunners in place!"

The three of them walked together, and Aiwen no longer used [Jump Wave] for convenience, but put down a long boat honestly, and rowed towards the shallows closest to the "Storm Horn".

Boom——

Soon, the longboat was directly rowed onto a pure black sandy beach, and the bottom of the longboat lightly hit a rock and came to a complete stop.

Gary himself pulled the longboat ashore like a leaf to prevent it from being swept away by the sea.

"Alert formation, let's go!"

This time, it was replaced by Gary, who was already equipped with full-body heavy armor, at the front. This was an advanced item obtained from the "Alchemy Equipment and Enchanting Project" branch of the "Alchemy School".

In addition to being absolutely hard, the biggest advantage is floating on the water!

At this time, Aiwen finally got his wish and enjoyed the treatment of a noble spellcaster.

Although, the actual witchcraft that he, a spellcaster, can use can be counted with two fingers

creak! creak!

A group of people moved forward slowly.

Although the gravel under their feet is almost completely non-reflective black, it is rare to see it in the material world.

But apart from the fact that the color is actually similar to ordinary volcanic rock, it is completely unnecessary to expect to exchange a stone from another world for gold.

Not far from where they landed, there are some strange plants like mangroves, half submerged in sea water, with long black and purple nightshade-like fruits growing on the trees.

As a "biologist" just starting out, Ivan is of course very interested in this kind of plant in another world.

Although there is no introduction to this plant in the occult books that I have read before, it does not prevent him from picking some fully mature long eggplants by relying on his experience and spiritual induction as a "activation school" wizard. shaped fruit.

By the way, I also took a little black sand as a sample.

As for the microorganisms, viruses, etc. from other worlds that some people may be worried about, Aiwen said that there is no need to worry about it at all.

The natural phenomenon of "Black Embankment" has existed in this world for an unknown number of years. Over the long years, the two worlds may have reached a certain delicate ecological balance.

Nature's ability to regulate is actually much more tenacious than human imagination.

Maybe this plant in my hand was actually an aborigine in the material world countless years ago.
