Chapter 1207: Set Sail
Lin Li was in the world created by Gresco, and he had sailed on the endless sea on the Star for a short time, so there was not much new to everything on the sea. But the others are different, like Joseph and several other representatives of the top powers, they have only been king and hegemonic in the interior of the Breeze Plain, and there really is not much chance to come to this endless sea. Therefore, when they are truly in the world of the ocean and feel the magnificence of the endless sea, they can't help but feel infinite emotion.
However, this emotion did not last long, and no matter how majestic and magnificent the scenery was, it could not stand up to looking at it for a long time. In this endless sea, whether you want to see it or not, and no matter what mood you have in your heart, there is an endless ocean everywhere, and everyone will get bored after a long time.
The Star left the port of Otlan, and after just three or four days at sea, basically few people will run to the deck to enjoy the eternal ~~-update debut~~ sea scenery. Only Calderson, who regards the Endless Sea as a treasure trove of ingredients, often runs to the deck to see if there are any strange sea monsters.
What's more, this Endless Sea is completely a world of water elements, and the other systems have very few magic elements, which makes it impossible for those magicians from the interior to kill time even if they want to use meditation. Unless it is the kind of magician who specializes in water magic, other magicians meditate in such an environment, the efficiency is simply outrageous, I am afraid that the time of meditation for a day may not be more than an hour of meditation in the interior.
However, at this time, Lin Li, who was the captain, was not idle, although the Star had already undergone sea trials, but in this first ocean voyage, there would still be big and small problems in the middle. After all, Lin Li had no way to completely copy the Star of Gresco's world, so he could only use the real Star and the alchemy battleship of the Jindu Kingdom as a reference, and explore the construction of the Star that appeared on his own, which was somewhat behind closed doors.
Don't look at the sea trials of the Star, it seems to be smooth sailing, as if it has reached a fairly perfect point, but without the ocean voyage, maybe some problems will never be exposed. And during these three or four days of sailing, all kinds of problems on the Star gradually emerged, although they were not big problems, but many of them also needed to be personally asked by Lin Li to find solutions.
In addition to adjusting the Star, Lin Li and the representatives of various forces in the Light Wind Plains also exchanged some information about the Jindu Kingdom. Although these forces in the Light Wind Plain have not been in real contact with the Jindu Kingdom for a long time, they have gradually gained a better understanding of the Jindu Kingdom through cooperation in various fields and various business channels.
Although the Kingdom of Jindu can be called the first in the world of Anriel in terms of alchemy warships and navigation technology, it is not as biased as Lordaeron, who is famous for its alchemy colossus on the mainland. In the Kingdom of Jindu, whether it is magic or martial arts, they are developed quite balanced, and there is no situation where anything is valued or degraded.
In such an environment, both magic and martial arts have been extremely developed, and it can be said that they have reached a fairly high level. Although it has not yet reached the point where there are as many legendary sword masters as many as dogs, it can be imagined that the power of these two aspects of the Jindu Kingdom is absolutely impossible to ignore.
In the Kingdom of Jindu, the greatest force is none other than the Illuminati, and the Illuminati Kingdom has a very transcendent status just like the Supreme Council in the wizarding world. It can be said that every decision of the Illuminati will have a very huge impact on the Jindu Kingdom, which is an influence that even His Majesty the King of the Jindu Kingdom cannot match.
Therefore, this time when they went to the Kingdom of Jindu to participate in the founding ceremony, everyone had to consider not only how to contact the Kingdom of Jindu, but more importantly, how to deal with the relationship with the Illuminati. Otherwise, I'm afraid that no matter how well the talks with the Jindu Kingdom are, a word from the Illuminati may be different immediately.
Sailing at sea is very boring, but it also gives the representatives of these forces in the Light Wind Plains a very good opportunity to communicate. After all, when we were in the Breeze Plain, everyone was busy with their own things, and if it wasn't very necessary, how could we have so much time to sit together and communicate. But now, the scenery outside is unchanged, and the space is full of water elements, whether it is to practice martial arts or meditation, it is not a good time, except to communicate with others, there is really nothing to pass the time.
However, just as the Star had been sailing for nearly ten days, an extraordinary storm swept the Star into it without warning. The reason why it is said without warning is that even Julio, the blackbeard who has been begging for life in the endless sea for generations, did not even notice the signs of the storm in advance.
In fact, not only did Julio not notice it, but even as a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse, Lin Li, who had insight into the rules of the world, did not perceive the abnormal changes in the rules of the space in advance. Everything just exploded suddenly, as if the Star had suddenly gone from one world to another.
However, such a situation cannot be said to be common in the Endless Sea, but it is by no means unusual. The sailors who roamed the endless sea called this sudden storm the wrath of the sea god, believing that they had done something to anger the sea god and attracted the sea god's punishment. And this is the most terrifying part of the Endless Sea, compared to the threat of those sea beasts. After all, the sea monsters each have their own territory, and they don't wander around in the sea for nothing, so they have safe passages.
However, this Poseidon's Wrath has no rules at all, and the so-called safe passage cannot avoid the attack of the Poseidon's Fury. The only thing people who can do to make a living at sea is to worship the sea god in various ways when they sail out to sea, which is actually to ask for a psychological comfort.
This storm was completely beyond the cognition of these people on the Star, as if the Endless Sea was showing them its majesty. The sky, which was originally still blue, was already as gloomy as the bottom of a pot in a blink of an eye, and only the thunder and lightning lit up the space from time to time. On the surface of the sea, the wind set off a huge wave of tens or hundreds of meters, and when it fell, it made a huge roar like a landslide and a crack. In such a storm, let alone a ship on the sea, even those sea monsters are probably going to be crushed into meat foam.
In the world that Lin Li created in Gresco, although he had also encountered a storm at sea on the Star, he had never encountered a storm of this scale. Lin Li didn't know if the real Star would be safe and sound in this kind of storm, but he knew that his Star was really a bit dangerous.
Although this Star is huge, three or four times the size of the alchemy giant ship of the Jindu Kingdom, it is simply a huge steel fortress on the sea, and it has been sailing very smoothly on the sea, and ordinary wind and waves cannot shake it at all. But now, this steel fortress obviously can't hold back the wind and waves, just like a canoe, being constantly thrown up and down by the huge waves.
At the same time, perhaps because the Star is made of magical metal, the thunder and lightning in the sky are like encountering a large magnet, and they are being attracted by the Star in large numbers. The thunder and lightning that were the smallest seemed to be as thick as a bucket, and the power contained in them was not inferior to the full force of the legendary powerhouse.
This scene was not inferior to the dragon corpse battle between Lin Li and the others and the Dragon of Destruction, but these were completely natural forces, created by the power of the rules contained in this endless sea. If you really want to talk about it, the opponent they are facing is almost equivalent to this endless sea.
Of course, for the Star, the power of this Poseidon Fury is very amazing, but from the aspect of the Endless Sea, I am afraid that it is like a person sneezing at an ant. When a person sneezes, nine out of nine ants will be blown away, and the current Star is not much stronger than the ants.
When the endless thunder and lightning blasted down on the Xingchen, Lin Li also hurriedly opened all the defenses on the Xingchen, and pushed the defensive power to the maximum at once. As a high-level Sacred Domain powerhouse who had insight into the rules of the world, Lin Li had a very clear understanding of the power of the endless thunder and lightning in the storm. He knew very well that with the defensive ability of his star, it was impossible to have reservations in the face of the bombardment from outside.
For a moment, all the defensive patterns and defensive arrays on the Star burst into brilliant and dazzling light. The light enveloped the entire huge star, and in this incomparably dim space, it was like a sun setting on the surface of the sea.
And almost at the same time that the defense of the Star was fully opened, the endless lightning storm also bombarded down, surrounding the Star with continuous bombardment and bombardment. Under the power of the bombardment, the huge Star was constantly swirled, and the layers of defense were peeled away like an onion.
At the time of this storm, the sailors on the Star were almost desperate, for it seemed that no one had been able to escape the Poseidon's wrath since the beginning of history. Although these sailors also have good strength, but under this storm known as the wrath of the sea god, their strength is simply insignificant, and a thunderbolt outside is enough to turn these sailors into ashes in an instant.
However, at this moment, Julio rushed out of the cabin, nailed himself to the violently turbulent deck with his legs like nails, and roared at the sailors who were hiding everywhere: "Damn it! Do you want to just wait for death? Why don't we all get up and get to work, let's get out of the storm zone together! ”
Although the roar of thunder and lightning outside was deafening, Julio's roar also followed the roar and reached the ears of every sailor. At first, none of these sailors had moved, after all, they knew that any struggle would be futile in the face of a storm like Poseidon's Wrath. Soon, however, they discovered that the defenses that had risen around the ship had kept the destructive thunder out.
These sailors were not the sailors of the seafaring power of the Jindu Kingdom, they were all sailors who followed the merchant ships along the coast of the Light Wind Plain. They never knew what ship would be able to hold out under the onslaught of the Poseidon's wrath. But now, although the hull of the ship was still shaking violently, and although the layers of defenses were being breached, it gave the sailors hope of survival.
Especially when they saw that the bearded man who had just roared at them was desperately adjusting the rudder of the ship, as if trying to drive the ship out of the storm zone. A voice couldn't help but sound in their hearts: Even if they die, they have to fight and die again, otherwise they will die too aggrieved.
The reason why he gave up resistance at the beginning was because he felt in his heart that he had no strength to struggle in the face of a storm like the Poseidon's Wrath. But now, with Julio taking the lead, and seeing that the defense of the battleship was not immediately breached, hope was rekindled in the hearts of the sailors.
At this time, the Star was like a roller coaster, but these sailors had lived at sea for many years, and they were not thrown out. Although their movement on the ship was very difficult, they still moved towards their posts step by step, and once they arrived at their posts, they immediately put themselves into work.
Amid the deafening roar of thunder and the roar of the waves, the shouts of sailors rang out from the Star. With the joint efforts of the sailors, the Star, which had been manipulated by the storm as if it had lost its ability to resist, finally began to move towards the periphery of the storm with difficulty.
Seeing such a scene, the realm world that Lin Li had prepared was also put away again.
In fact, this storm is called the wrath of the sea god, and it is only terrifying for ordinary people, and ordinary merchant ships will definitely be destroyed and killed when they encounter this kind of storm. However, as a high-level Sacred Domain powerhouse, Lin Li already belonged to an existence close to the gods, and it would not be too difficult to protect the Star from this storm.
The reason why he didn't do it at the beginning was that Lin Li wanted to test the Xingchen, and at the same time test the sailors on the Xingchen. After all, these sailors were all recruited from the Light Wind Plain, although they were all experienced and good sailors, but the difference between the Star and other ships was still too great, and the experience accumulated on other ships may not be useful on the Star.
