Chapter 226: The first [Huiyao Meeting]
Chapter 226 The first [Huiyao Meeting]
"[Rhine Secret Realm]."
After spitting out this name, Xia En felt a strange feeling in his heart.
It seems that the connection with the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] has become closer, and it seems to be recognized by this [Secret Realm].
[Secret realm exploration speed +5%! 】
[Current exploration degree: 5.1%! 】
Seeing the two lines of information popping up in front of him, Xia En raised his eyebrows sharply.
Directly increased exploration by 5%?
In Xia En's view, this degree of exploration is equivalent to the degree of development of the [Rhine Secret Realm].
At the same time, according to the effect of [Empty Beast Heart Seal], the higher the degree of exploration, the higher the blessing he will receive in this world.
If it reaches 100%, maybe... he can really become the master of this [Secret Realm]?
However, the efforts of the Yongyue clan members in the past ten days have only increased the exploration rate by 0.1%.
This shows the vastness of [Rhine Secret Realm].
Exploring and developing the secret realm is destined to be a long process.
Choosing a name can directly increase the exploration degree by 5%, which is an unexpected surprise.
"Rhine! What a great name!"
Sha Jingjing showed an excited expression.
This is the name of their new home, so of course it has great meaning!
The reaction of several high priests was even more intense. They knelt down on one knee and shouted excitedly: "Thank you, Lord Holy Son, for the name!"
"We will become your sharpest spear and open up the territory of [Land of the Rhine] for you!"
Xia En couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
No matter how many times he had seen it, he was still a little uncomfortable with the fanatical attitude of the Yongyue tribe.
Xia En was planning to leave, but suddenly he remembered something and ordered.
"By the way, you must take good care of that small tree in the middle of the valley."
As he spoke, he pointed to the center of the valley, where there was a short tree about two meters tall with dark red bark.
It is the [Crimson Ancient Tree] after rebirth!
Due to the excessive vitality in the [Rhine Secret Realm], the growth of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] was even better than Xia En expected.
It took ten days to reach this height.
As long as you give it enough time, it may not be impossible to return to its peak state in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm].
When the high priests heard this, they all responded: "I will obey your instructions."
One of the high priests sensed the importance that Shane attached to the sapling.
He had personally come into contact with this sapling and noticed the extraordinary secret power in it, so he had some other thoughts in his mind.
'Since the Holy Son attaches so much importance to this little tree, you might as well...'
‘Think of it as the sacred tree of the Moon Yong Clan? ’
‘Not only have I complied with the orders of the Holy Son, but I can also get the protection of this tree. ’
If Xia En knew what he was thinking, he would definitely show a very strange expression.
[Crimson Ancient Tree] clearly has a deep connection with the Vampire Clan, so why now has it become the sacred tree of a group of werewolves?
However, Shane was unaware of this bold idea.
He really couldn't stand the fervent looks of the werewolves. After a few simple instructions, he and Carles left the [Rhine Secret Realm].
Stepping out of the gate made of silver light, the two came to the coast of [Sand Island].
Not far away, several federal ships were docked there.
Many secret travelers are carrying some metal boxes made of alloy back and forth in an orderly manner.
Inside were the cut bones of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast].
Since this special skeleton cannot be loaded into a space ring, the Federation Mystics had to use this clumsy method to transport it.
As can be expected.
After receiving such a large share of credit, Carles' career in the Federation will definitely be smooth sailing.
In the future, we will continue to receive "investment" from the federation, and our strength will definitely not grow slowly.
Xia En said with emotion: "Maybe next time we meet, you will already be a truly legendary powerhouse."
Carles couldn't deny it and said with a smile: "Why do I think you will be promoted to legend earlier than me?"
Then, she changed the topic.
"I got the news. After I go back this time, I should take up a position at [Liu Li Island]."
"After that, I'm afraid there will be very few sea missions, and there will be even fewer opportunities to meet."
【Liu Li Island】
Not only was this name not unfamiliar to Xia En, but it was also very familiar to him.
the reason is simple.
This island is one of the core islands of the Seven Seas Federation!
The Federal Parliament, the Federal Court, the Federal Research Institute, and an entire advanced and developed city are all located on the current [Liu Li Island].
Ninety percent of the residents on the island are secret travelers, and there are even several sixth- and seventh-level experts sitting on the island.
It can be said that [Liu Li Island]'s status in the Federation is equivalent to the capital of a country, and it is the economic and cultural center of the entire Federation.
So much so that this island is also known as "the brightest star on the Federal Star Flag."
There, the developed ports transport and trade goods worth tens of thousands of gold dragon coins every day, and the commercial system is extremely developed.
The latest steam technology, magic pattern props, and various secret techniques collided with each other on the island, creating new sparks and turning them into nutrients for the growth of the huge collective of the Federation.
Countless dream chasers have gone there one after another, just to leave their mark on this "golden land".
Therefore, Carles being transferred to [Liu Li Island] is like being promoted from a small county town to the capital city. It is undoubtedly a great thing.
Only the Secret Pathers who are truly valued by the Federation have this kind of treatment.
It also shows from the side that she has a bright future.
Xia En said sincerely: "Congratulations!"
Carles' focus seemed a little strange, though, she continued.
"Don't worry, I am a very dedicated mechanical armor. Even if you die, I will not let anyone except you enter my body."
Shane: "..."
"If you need any help, you can contact me at any time."
"For example, developing materials for [Ryan Secret Realm], I think there is a lot of room for cooperation between you and the Federation."
Facing Carles's advice, Xia En straightened his expression.
"I will think about it."
Then I thought about it, if this [Platinum Knight] reaches a high position within the federation, then wouldn't he be considered "someone above"?
At this time, on the sea not far away, a three-masted sailboat with a black swan carved on its bow was sailing towards the coast.
Seeing the ship, Carles let out a burst of steam from under his visor and said as if sighing.
"It's time to say goodbye."
"If you are free, I hope you can come to [Liu Li Island], I will wait for you there!"
Xia En nodded solemnly: "I will definitely go!"
After receiving a positive answer, Carles waved his hand generously and walked towards the direction of the federal ship.
…
…
Not long after.
The [Black Swan] docked at the coast.
At this time, the [Black Swan] has changed a lot compared to more than ten days ago.
After using the bones of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] as the main material to strengthen it, its width and length have not changed much, but its height has increased.
To be precise, the part of the hull below the sea surface has become longer.
Considering that the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] is a creature from the [Secret Sea], it may prefer the environment under the sea. The main color of the entire ship is still pitch black with a touch of silver, and there are stars and magic patterns dotting the hull.
The difference is.
The feeling of [Black Swan] seems to have become a little more illusory, like a transparent and hazy phantom.
It's there, but it seems to be in another dimension that is hard to reach.
If you don't look carefully, you may even subconsciously ignore its existence.
The reason why the color of the hull has not changed much.
It's because more bones of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] were directly used to strengthen the keel deep in the hull.
If someone comes to the depths of the cabin, they can see that the skeleton originally engraved with profound runes has a strong silver color.
The mutated keel not only absorbs the secret power from the sea water all the time, but also brings space-related abilities to the [Black Swan].
The enhanced information at that time is as follows.
[The main body of "Black Swan" has been strengthened successfully! 】
[Durability upper limit +100! 】
[Sturdiness +10! 】
[Mystery +10! 】
[Comprehensive quality: 5.0→5.3! 】
[Due to the effect of the extraordinary material "Void Beast Skeleton", the effect of the trait "Secret Power Aggregation" has been enhanced! 】
[Quality: Rare→Epic! 】
[Description: "Empty Beast Skeletons" are naturally connected to the "Secret Sea" and will gradually cause your ship to be infected by the atmosphere of the "Secret Sea". 】
[When this transformation reaches a certain level, this ship may be able to sail in the "secret sea", right? 】
…
[Unlock trait: Shield of overlapping space]
[Quality: precious]
[Description: After fusing the "Void Beast Skeleton", a layer of fragile overlapping space will be generated on the surface of the ship's hull to withstand incoming attacks. 】
[The current space can withstand limited attacks. When it is broken, it will be automatically repaired over time. 】
…
Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the [Secret Power Aggregation] trait that has been upgraded to [Epic] quality.
This not only subtly strengthens the [Black Swan], but also transforms the ship into an excellent place for cultivation.
The power from the [Secret Sea] is so precious.
When he was in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], Xia Endu had to use a rather extreme method to absorb it.
But now, as long as you are on the [Black Swan], you can swallow the secret power contaminated by the breath of the [Secret Sea].
The speed of mystical practitioners' cultivation naturally increases by leaps and bounds.
The most intuitive reaction was not from Joey or Fei Ya, but from the newborn bronze dragon, Xian Ge Maya!
At this time, Xian Ge was sleeping soundly in a corner of the captain's cabin.
Her body curled up into a ball, like a sleeping kitten, and occasionally her body would make a series of snapping sounds.
This is her body growing at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary humans.
Even people from different races like Joey and Feiya can't compare. I'm afraid, this can be regarded as the unique talent of the bronze dragon family, right?
In the past few days, Xian Ge's rank has exceeded the third level.
And the trend continues to rise.
As for this second trait, Xia En understood it as a weakened "moonlight protection of the Yueyong clan."
They all rely on spatial dislocation to act like a defensive shield.
However, the defensive power of the [Overlapping Space Shield] was obviously much weaker than the moonlight at that time.
Perhaps, when more [Empty Beast Skeletons] are integrated, this trait will also undergo a completely new transformation?
While his thoughts were ups and downs, Xia En had boarded the Black Swan again.
In order to accommodate the indigenous people from all over the [Sand Island], he has been busy on the [Sand Island] these days.
I just boarded the ship once when the ship was strengthened and reported safe.
In order to prevent the [Black Swan] from colliding with the [Burning Gold], Xia En continued his previous strategy and let it wander in the waters near the [Sand Island].
It was not until today that he officially returned to the Black Swan.
"Xiao Hei, your captain is back!"
Xia En said to the ship spirit of the [Black Swan] in his heart.
[Master, you are finally back. I miss you so much. 】
Xiao Hei expressed his intimacy excitedly, but soon, he asked with some doubts.
[Master, have you been on other ships these days? 】
[Why do I seem to smell other ship spirits? 】
"!?"
Xia En was stunned for a moment, but then his mouth twitched.
If I had to say it, he did seem to have come into contact with the ship souls of other ships - that was the [Sky Serpent] in the promotion ritual!
Although the time they got together was short, Xia En had an extremely close contact with the ship spirit of the Sky Serpent, and briefly achieved the state of "human and ship becoming one".
But when did Xiao Hei become so smart?
Even this smell can be distinguished.
The child is older, it’s hard to fool him!
With this thought in his mind, Xia En said: "It's okay. I've been on the island these days. How can I come into contact with other ships?"
Xiao Hei was doubtful: [It seems like this...]
"Mr. Captain!"
From the side, Joey happily came up to him and almost hugged him: "Welcome back!"
Yan Yan also waved to Xia En: "Captain, I knew you would be fine."
Fei Ya leaned against the mast and looked at him with a smile.
Miss Ghost appeared directly in front of Xia En and said eagerly: "Captain, when can we have barbecue again?"
"Why don't we just hold another celebration party?"
Looking at the crew members in front of him, Xia En felt a little touched and felt an indescribable warmth.
This is a mood that can only be felt on board the Black Swan.
Maybe, this is what it feels like to go home?
Xia En waved his hand and said directly: "Today!"
"Tonight, let's hold a celebration banquet to celebrate the success of the [Sand Island] operation!"
"Great!"
…
…
While the crew was preparing for the celebration banquet.
Xia En returned to the captain's cabin first and took out a strange mirror.
This is the [Glory Crystal Mirror] obtained from the captain of the [Fishing Number].
At this time, there was a slight light shining on the mirror, and the mirror surface was trembling slightly.
This is the symbol of the Huijiao Archbishop when he initiates the rally call.
It just so happened that Xia En was currently having some questions and wanted to ask these well-informed people about them.
Such as the location of other elven temples.
Another example is the information about the [Truth Society].
Most people will obviously not know the answers to these questions, but if it is the equally mysterious Hui Cult, they might be able to give satisfactory answers.
Thinking of this, Xia En no longer hesitated and put his hand on the mirror.
next moment.
A pure and bright light filled his entire field of vision...
