As a part of the Southern Ocean, the abyss of Anos is not vast. If it is not for violent storms and turbulent currents, an ordinary three masted sailboat can cross it in less than half a month. However, due to the bad weather, even a magic ship like time needs to go through all kinds of difficulties to reach its center.

In the dark storm, the rain covers everything like a gray curtain. However, a huge ark with warm white light breaks through the huge waves and moves forward along a straight beam of light. On its top, there are dense magic runes. A gem like a small sun flows great positive energy and shoots a dazzling beam pointing directly to the center of the sea.

The ark has 162 experienced stormy crew members with an average strength above silver level. They have fought with the storm of the distant sea for countless times and won. They firmly believe that the seven gods' expedition to the abyss of Anos is no exception.

The captain of the time, Derry, is a strong old man with red hair. From his appearance, we can see that he has certain barbarian blood. But in fact, he is a meticulous man like a soldier. However, it is precisely because of his rigorous attitude and strong body derived from barbarians that the old man over 60 is still able to sail through the waves, The ability to travel abroad.

Delhi has high-level strength of silver. When he was young, he was close to the realm of gold, but he stopped at the top of silver because he couldn't break through the barrier. Now, with the passage of time, although his body is still strong and his grasp of fighting spirit is more and more precise, Delhi's vitality is gradually declining, and he can't touch the realm of gold any more.

At this time, the rainstorm was pouring, and the huge waves were beating on the side of the ark. The old man with red hair, holding a pipe in his hand, stood on the side of the boat with his mouth tightly closed. The enchanted agate pipe didn't go out in the water, but instead sent out wisps of white smoke. On his side, a tall man in a black coat was also standing on the side of the boat. The man looked at the rolling tide, It's like thinking about something.

The tall man, Joshua, watched the tide with Delhi, and chatted in the storm.

The reason why they are so familiar with each other is because of an accident - because of the reduction of their size, when Hei was in human form, he could not control the huge fire energy in his body from time to time, and accidentally ejected dragon breath to destroy the facilities inside the ark. Two days ago, Hei Yi accidentally ejected dragon breath again. This time, the power of dragon breath was a little too much, It easily broke through the two-story corridor, and almost burned the old redhead who was smoking and resting.

Delhi didn't care about the accident, but Joshua found out unexpectedly in his conversation that the old man's hometown was the novice village of his previous life, which was located in the port of alpha in ansu Province on the coast of the far south kingdom.

Although the old man with red hair wondered why Joshua, an imperial nobleman, was so familiar with a port city in the far south, he didn't care about such a trifle. They first shared their feelings about the simple customs and hospitable residents of ansuhang Province, and then commented on some local specialties and scenery. They went to sea for nearly 40 years, Captain Delhi, who had not been home for a long time, did not immediately lead the soldiers to be confidants, but also had a lot of good feelings for the seemingly indifferent imperial count.

While they were talking, there was a long dull sound coming from the sea. The surging tide surged from the deep sea, and the waves were rolling in all directions. With the more clear dragon chant, one blue and one black dragon broke through the sea one after another, appeared on the left and right sides of the ark, and walked side by side with the time.

Because of the protection of two sea dragons, the speed of the ark was faster. Seeing this, Derry shook his pipe and said goodbye with a smile: "well, next time, count Radcliffe, you are not the same as the rumor. You are a respectable nobleman."

"Hearsay?" With a slight frown, Joshua, who didn't know that he had been killed for a long time, felt a little strange, but he didn't have time to pay attention to such a small matter. Instead, he nodded and said goodbye: "then captain Delhi, I'll talk to you next time."

When he said this, he patted the other person on the shoulder.

On one side, the black dragon slowly approached the side of the boat. When there was only a short distance of more than ten meters between the two, a huge round seal about five meters high did not know where it came from and jumped onto the back of the black dragon.

The giant seal, which has almost become a ball, lies quietly on the dragon's carapace, and can see black totem patterns all over its fat body. When the black dragon gets closer to the ark, it simply slaps its tail, jumps up, and then turns into a human shape in mid air, landing on the deck of time.

This is a slender young elf, he looks pretty, a long black hair tied into a high ponytail, scattered behind him, it seems that because of intense exercise, the young wheat skin is slightly red, and his face looks tired.

It has to be said that except for the faint totem pattern on his body, there is no connection between him and the round seal."Why, Joshua, don't you go swimming with your dragon in the sea?"

After breathing slowly, Hill walked slowly to the soldier's side. He waved to the blue dragon on the other side, and the sea Stegosaurus, a one Horned Dragon with dazzling electric light, nodded slightly, then dived into the sea again.

"No Joshua squinted and looked at the elf boy who had just turned from a seal into an adult. He said faintly, "I can't turn into a marine creature... But then again, how do you swim in the sea when your changed seal is so round?"

"... it's a secret Druid technique."

After a moment's silence, Hill abruptly ended the conversation. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Captain redhead's departure. Then he asked suspiciously, "did you just inject vitality into him?"

Although the grammar is confusing, the tone is affirmative. As the most sensitive elves to vitality, hill is also the most sensitive Druids to vitality. Just now, Joshua's shoulder slap injected a lot of vitality into Delhi, although captain red hair didn't seem to find this, However, with the gradual improvement of this vitality, his gray hair will turn black again in a short time, and his strength, which has fallen due to the decline of his body, will rise again. Maybe he can touch the golden barrier again and break through it.

"It's just a try."

But Joshua didn't put this little thing in his mind. He looked down at the black dragon who had dived into the sea again, and his tone was quite calm: "anyway, vitality is not harmful."

Since the day when he first boarded the ark, he got a lot of information about order and chaos from the azure pearl, Joshua gradually realized many ways to control the things handed down by the sages, and mobilizing the vitality contained in it was only one of them. Before that, a soldier could only be moved to accept the treatment of his body by the azure pearl, but now, He was able to control that vital force and give priority to more critical parts.

Among the pearls of azure, the life force obtained by burning many chaos is just as great as the sea. Giving this pure life force to others is also a method that Joshua has recently explored. It happens that Captain Delhi has a good chat with him, so the soldiers try to help this new friend.

"Don't talk about this, why don't you get together with Ms. Anna, but climb onto my dragon?"

The black dragon had completely sunk into the sea and started another dive, while Joshua just gazed at the dark tide in the rainstorm and asked hill, "don't worry about Anna being jealous?"

"The water beside the black is warmer. You know, the water in the Arnos abyss is as cold as ice water." The elf boy also casually replied: "before, I didn't dive with Anna. The current around her was too strong. I had to stay away from her to become a seal."

Obviously, the soldier is not a talkative person, because no one takes the initiative to stir up the topic, and the atmosphere on the side of the boat is so cold down. In the storm, hill can't help but sigh and say with some emotion: "you are really not a dragon knight."

To become a dragon knight, first of all, you need to have strong martial arts skills and be able to subdue your own mount. Second, you need to have high charm and excellent communication skills, so that the dragons can cooperate willingly.

"I'm not a dragon knight, but the mount is just a dragon." Joshua nodded and patiently replied, "in fact, it's not convenient to ride a dragon. I haven't ridden a black horse to fight for a long time."

"Even as a soldier, you are not normal." Looking at Joshua's body carefully, Hill raised his eyebrows slightly: "generally speaking, normal soldiers can practice many kinds of special skills and specialties, otherwise their strength can't keep up with other professions of the same level, but you..."

After looking at it carefully again, the elf boy came to the conclusion: "only one breathing method has been practiced, Nothing else. "

If it wasn't for the soldier's achievements that had spread to the outside of the Empire, and before that, he had killed a abyss magic dragon cleanly, Hill might have doubted Joshua's strength. You know, a fighter who doesn't practice special skills and expertise and only relies on skills and secret skills to fight is undoubtedly incomplete, and his combat effectiveness is far weaker than other people of the same occupation.

"There are many reasons." Looking at the sea, Joshua understood Hill's doubts. He put his hands around his chest and slowly replied, "the most important thing is that it's not the right time."

The soldier knew why the Elven boy said that. In fact, loranda asked the same question a few days ago. He thought that it was because Joshua's father died so early that he lost his family heritage in this respect. The paladin even offered to give the soldier some secret collection which was open to the church.

Joshua, of course, declined the offer.The so-called special skills and specialties are the "permanent gain state" that can not be summarized as breathing method. Because of the limit of human body, the gain state that human beings can bear is limited. Therefore, Every warrior who pursues strong will confirm his future required specialties at an early stage, and then work hard to fill them.

Joshua naturally has his own goal. As a former legendary warrior, he has such a high vision that he disdains to learn those common specialties and skills. What the warrior wants is a kind of extraordinary feat like omniscient eye, original human body and perfect reaction, which is at least at the extreme level.

Because of his great intention to exert himself, his body can carry more permanent gains than most people, but Joshua is not prepared to change his plan to learn ordinary specialties. In addition, he came to the abyss of Anos soon after his advanced intention, so the warrior still has no specialty except steel armor breathing.

——But it's time to prepare. Joshua nodded in silence. Now he has the strength of extreme intention level, and because of the huge amount of fighting spirit brought by the chaos of killing, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is higher than his level, which has already met the conditions of many extraordinary specialties.

"In recent days, it's really peaceful. There's no attack of sea animals. The storm is just this degree. It can't threaten time."

On one side, Hill said to himself, "if we can safely get close to the central vortex, our task will be much easier this time."

peaceful?

"Peace?"

When he heard the word, Joshua could not help laughing. He shook his head and then gave the boy a smile: "Mr. Hill, do you really think so?"

In Hill's opinion, the soldier's smile didn't mean anything. Instead, he felt cold. He rubbed his shoulder uncomfortably. He asked in doubt: "isn't it peaceful? Since meeting the abyssal dragon, time has not met a single sea animal for several days. Although the storm is fierce, it is the normal level in the abyss of Anos. "

But Joshua shook his head. "It's unbelievable, but my friend."

At this time, the sky covered by clouds suddenly sounded a burst of thunder, and then, as dense and complex as a cobweb, the thunder crisscrossed in the sky, continuously roaring and shaking the atmosphere and the ocean. The heavy rain curtain, which was originally like a gray curtain, suddenly became more dense, as if the Black Sea had fallen.

Washed by the sudden heavy rain, the elf boy was hardly choked by the rain pouring into his mouth and nose, while the whole body of the soldier showed a thin black red gas field, isolating all the rain and waves from the outside.

As if he had expected this scene, Joshua looked up at the thunderous sky and said calmly, "as long as I'm there, it's absolutely impossible to be peaceful."

Under the sudden violent storm, the already turbulent waves became more terrifying. Waves of more than 10 meters were sweeping towards the ark with an irresistible momentum, and the whole sea seemed to be boiling.

"Damn, I haven't seen this wave for at least 20 years."

Back in the cabin, Captain Derry, across the crystal barrier, looked at the storm outside in shock. He cursed subconsciously, and then took a smoke: "last time we met, there was a volcanic eruption on the other side of Yuanwang Cape. What's the reason for this?"

The first mate, though a little pale, said, "this is the abyss of Anos, the hell of the seas. Captain, aren't you afraid?"

"Fart!" The red haired old man said in a deep voice: "if it was the old kind of broken boat, I might be really afraid, but now we are driving the temple ark - even if we go swimming in the river Styx, what's more, this drizzle?"

That's what I said, but everyone on the scene didn't dare to neglect. Within a few seconds, most of the crew returned to their posts. They were responsible for controlling most of the magic array inside the ark to fight against the surging waves outside.

On the deck of the time, Joshua and hill still did not return to the cabin. The boy looked around as if he was looking for something, while the soldier looked at the churning sea with a cool face.

Soon after, two huge figures broke through the huge waves, one blue and one black, two giant dragons jumped up at the same time, changed into human shape, and then landed on the deck. Fina and black face both had a trace of inexplicability. They noticed that the ocean current in the deep sea had changed strangely, and then immediately floated up. Unexpectedly, the huge waves in the shallow sea were surging, I don't know why the storm is suddenly big.

And just as they left the sea and came to the ship, black tides rose from the depths of the sea. Although the Arnos abyss is called the Black Sea, it was only because of the storm all the year round, the clouds are dense, and the sea itself is colorless, but now, because a large amount of black dust is pouring out of the deep sea, The whole sea is completely black.Unlike black, who is still a little confused, the blue haired Dragon Girl frowns tightly. She knows that the black tide is the strange current that she and black perceive. Instinctively, fina thinks that this is the reason why there has been no erosion of sea animals for several days. She smells the smell of conspiracy.

"Here we are."

Suddenly, Joshua whispered to himself.

And with his whispering, the huge ark that used to ride the wind and waves gradually stopped, and there were bursts of exclamations in the cabin, and the surface of the black sea water that touched the ark was flowing with blurred color light.

"The magic is passing!" Hill and fina keenly noticed this, and their faces became ugly. Although the time ship belonged to the seven gods church, it was powered by the mages' magic engine. Now, the dark sea water mixed with unknown substances sucked up all the magic of the whole sea area, and all the elements in all things were silent, leaving only the Holy Light runes flashing around the ark, Against the waves.

Above the sky, black smoke and fog gradually spread in the clouds. It swallowed up the restless lightning and thunder, and made the rainstorm also become dark. Except for the firelight brought by the fusion star on the top of the time ark, the whole sea area no longer twinkled.

The sea, like a dark cage
