Above the dark night sky, a crescent moon hangs high, emitting a soft light, making the sea below seem to be covered with a silvery glow. In the distance, an ancient giant ship is floating quietly on the sea.
The hull of the giant ship was made of sunken wood, and the exterior was inlaid with iron sheets. The ship's walls were covered with moss and seaweed, making it look a bit shabby. From a distance, it was silent, like a ghost ship.
"Is that the ship heading to the Lost Continent?"
On the sea, a small boat sailed slowly, and two figures stood on it. Among them, the red-robed wizard with a crow squatting on his shoulders spoke.
"The Lost Continent has always been regarded as a forbidden area by the wizarding world!"
"Few people would easily set foot there, but for those beings who cannot be tolerated by the Northern Council, the Lost Continent is the only way out."
Old Snake stood on the small boat and said softly: "That giant ship will travel to and from the Lost Continent every once in a while. As long as we pay enough remuneration, the owner of the giant ship will take us to our destination."
While the two were talking, the small boat had already approached the giant ship.
"Who is it? Stop!" At this time, a shadow floated on the sea, stopped in front of the boat, and said in a deep voice to the old snake.
Enzo's eyes narrowed and he looked over.
It was a monster with a fish head, gills on the side of its face, and its body was wrapped with dark green seaweed, like a water ghost.
"Sea Clan?" Enzo frowned slightly.
The shape of the fish-headed monster reminded him of the sea creature he had seen before, but judging from the aura it exuded, it was different.
The fish-headed monster was filled with an aura of corruption, and the scales covering its surface also showed signs of decay, as if it had been cursed.
"We are passengers bound for a lost continent, please let us on board."
The old snake smiled and said, "I brought a gift for your boss, Captain Jones. I believe he will like it."
"Passenger to the Lost Continent?"
The fish-headed monster nodded slightly, waved towards the giant wheel, and then slid down from the giant wheel like a ladder made of fish bones.
Old Snake and Enzo climbed the ladder and came to the deck of the giant ship.
"Welcome, Black Snake!" Not far away, a monster slowly walked over. Its face looked like an octopus, its smooth tentacles danced, and it gave the old snake a ferocious smile.
"I heard that you are going to the Lost Continent, so I have prepared a room for you in advance."
Captain Jones took off the three-cornered hat on his head and said, "As a friend, I think you brought me a gift?"
"Of course, Captain Jones."
Old Snake smiled and put his hand into his cuff, grabbed a cloth bag, and threw it to Captain Jones. There was a sound of magic stones colliding inside.
"Very good, I'm very satisfied with this gift!" Captain Jones caught the bag, checked the magic stone inside, and said to a fish-headed monster next to him, "Go ahead and take our guests to their room."
Room."
"Please follow me, two guests!"
The fish-headed monster walked in front, taking the old snake and Enzo below the deck, followed the stairs to the cabin, and placed them in adjacent rooms.
"Jones' ship will leave tonight, enjoy the rest of the journey!"
A meaningful smile appeared on Old Snake's face. After saying something to Enzo, he returned to his cabin and closed the rusty iron door.
Enzo's eyes flashed and he returned to his room.
"Jones? This name sounds familiar..." In the narrow cabin, Enzo stroked his chin, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Two hundred years ago, there seemed to be an escape of experimental subjects from the laboratory of the Northern Parliament, and the name of one of them seemed to be Jones..."
The Northern Parliament is the highest authority in the northern continent.
This organization is a branch of the [Supreme Parliament] and represents the rule of the wizarding civilization over the northern continent. Even ordinary members of the [Northern Parliament] are at least as powerful as fourth-order life forms.
At the same time, the Northern Council is also a wizarding organization.
It has a huge laboratory of its own, and even beings such as dragons and Titans can be used as experimental subjects in the eyes of the Parliament. But just two hundred years ago, an accident occurred in the Northern Parliament laboratory.
In that accident, a large number of experimental subjects escaped!
Among them is Experiment 7512, the Jones Sea Monster! It is a life created by a certain congressman through witchcraft and biology. It has the strange ability to control storms and seas.
"Chip, search for information about the Jones Sea Monster." Enzo ordered in his mind.
In his mind, the chip immediately searched, and information about the Jones Sea Monster emerged. Enzo's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but nodded.
"It is indeed this monster!"
The information searched by the chip overlapped with the Jones we just saw, proving that the owner of this ship was indeed the Jones Sea Monster who escaped from the Northern Parliamentary Laboratory, and was also an experimental product created by a certain congressman.
The Lost Continent is regarded as a restricted area by the wizarding world. Although it is not explicitly prohibited, wizards who enter that area are strictly investigated, and this ship led by the Jones Sea Monster is obviously an underground product.
The passengers who can board this giant ship to the lost continent are all special beings. Except for fallen wizards, there are only those dark creatures that are not tolerated by the parliament.
"Next, just wait patiently."
Enzo looked back at the cabin, then sat cross-legged on the slightly damp bed and began to meditate with his eyes closed.
A few hours later, there was a sudden noise on the deck.
"What's going on?" Enzo opened his eyes, frowned, hesitated for a moment and stood up from the bed, then took out the False Mask of Darkness from the space ring and put it on his face.
Following the stairs leading up to the cabin, Enzo came to the deck.
On the empty deck, two groups of people were confronting each other at the moment. Among them, three gray-robed wizards surrounded one person with fierce expressions on their faces.
"I can't believe I met you here!"
Among the three gray-robed wizards, the one-eyed man who seemed to be the leader spoke up and said in a ferocious tone: "Jorah Bloodhand, it's time to put an end to the hatred between us."
"Jorah the Bloody Hand?" Enzo's heart moved.
Looking at the figure surrounded by three people, the man's face was also covered by a mask. His right arm seemed to be fused with a demonized item to form sharp claws. He stood quietly on the deck with an unusual look on his face.
calm.
"If you want to avenge your brother, then go ahead!" The masked man's voice was slightly hoarse, as if he didn't take the three of them seriously, and said in a low voice, "Don't you really think that if there are more people, you can kill them?"
Me?"
The one-eyed wizard looked cold and quietly made a gesture to his companion.
The next moment, another tall wizard in gray robes suddenly waved his sleeves, and a purple wand appeared in his hand. Then, as he whispered a spell, a plant emerged from the gap in the deck and sprayed out apple-sized seeds.
"Hmph!" The masked man snorted and waved his arms casually.
The bloody claws shattered the incoming seeds, but then, a red mist exploded.
"Come together and avenge Moore!"
The one-eyed wizard roared, and then his body expanded, turning into a three-meter-tall giant, and rushed forward.
Another short wizard in gray robes also waved his wand and threw a fireball.
A sneer flashed in the masked man's eyes, and the next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot, and then a scream came from the deck.
"Nishizawa!!"
The gray-robed wizard who just waved his wand and threw the fireball was now penetrated by blood-red claws, with blood gushing from his chest and his face turned pale.
"Damn it!" the one-eyed wizard gritted his teeth.
In just one round of confrontation, one of his companions died. Jorah the Bloody Hand is indeed a fallen wizard who has been in the spotlight recently, and his strength is indeed terrifying.
"Next, it's your turn."
The masked man waved his arm casually, throwing the fireball wizard's body to the corner of the deck, and then looked at the one-eyed wizard.
Stared at by a pair of scarlet eyes, the one-eyed wizard's huge body trembled.
"enough!"
At this moment, a sound suddenly came from not far away, causing the fighting people to stop one after another. Jones, the owner of the giant ship, slowly walked over, with a terrifying expression on his ferocious face.
"No fighting on my ship!"
Jones's face was waving with tentacles one after another, and he exuded a terrifying aura. The one-eyed wizard and his companions were suddenly startled, and a pale look appeared on their faces. The masked man also frowned and took half a step back.
"Forget it this time. If you do it again, go to the sea!"
Seeing that his deterrence was effective, Jones glanced at the three of them with cold eyes, and then ordered the two fish-headed monsters next to him: "Throw the wizard's body into the sea, and then clean the deck."
"Yes, Captain!" the two fish-headed monsters said in unison.
Then, they quickly stepped forward, lifted up the corpse of the wizard whose heart was pierced by sharp claws, and together they threw the giant ship down, making a splashing sound as it fell into the sea.
The one-eyed wizard opened his mouth, but hesitated and did not dare to speak.
The masked man took a deep look at Jones, then turned around and returned below the deck. The other two hesitated for a moment, but under Jones' intimidation, they also returned to the cabin in despair.
"Jorah..."
In the corner of the deck, Enzo frowned slightly. The masked man just now was obviously Jorah who had joined the fallen wizard camp.
Facing his former friend, Enzo did not move forward and recognized him.
First of all, the two sides are already in opposing camps at this moment. If Enzo meets Jorah, he doesn't know how to deal with it. What's more, it is not appropriate to recognize Jorah rashly when he no longer knows why Jorah wants to board the giant ship.
"What happened?" Enzo frowned.
Although he did not recognize Jorah, through the observation just now, one thing can be confirmed, that is, there has indeed been a change in the other party. Firstly, Jorah has been promoted to an official wizard, and secondly, the aura on his body.
It was a scent that Enzo was familiar with, one hundred percent coming from the abyss!
As Bourne said, Jorah did collude with the Abyss. Although he didn't know what his purpose was, the strong strength the other party showed just now was probably all because of the Abyss.
"In pursuit of power, do you throw yourself into the abyss?" Enzo murmured to himself.
Then, he shook his head and turned back to the cabin. Before he knew what happened to Jorah, all inferences were meaningless. He would just quietly observe for a few days before the other party noticed him.
...
Below deck, in a cabin.
Returning to his own narrow room, Jorah took off his mask, his pale face full of exhaustion, and he sat down on the bed feebly.
Then, Jorah took out a mirror from his arms.
"Oh! My dear friend, you seem to be looking a little bad!" A figure slowly appeared in the mirror and made an exaggerated voice.
"Cut the nonsense, Anorun!"
Jorah interrupted him coldly and said in a deep voice, "I have already set foot on the ship to the Lost Continent. Now you should tell me what to do next, right?"
"Have you already traveled to the Lost Continent?"
Anolun, the devil in the mirror, was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "As expected of the wizard I admired, he fulfilled that condition so quickly!"
Jorah had no expression on his face and looked at the other person coldly.
"Now that you have boarded the ship to the Lost Continent, all you have to do is wait patiently." Anorun shrugged and said, "If you want to step into the Lost Continent, you need to devote enough souls. Now that you have achieved this
Conditions, then there seems to be nothing you need to ask me about."
"You don't need to talk nonsense about the soul!"
Jorah said as he raised his left hand. There was a crystal in his palm, with wisps of blue light sealed inside, which looked extremely beautiful.
"So many souls?"
Anorun's pupils shrank, a look of greed appeared on his face, and he whispered: "There are actually a few wizard souls, I'm really surprised!"
"It seems that your strength has improved recently, right?"
"The power of divinity gives me the ability to improve quickly, but that ray of divinity has reached its limit!" Jorah shook his head and said solemnly, "My body can't support it for long. I must go to the Lost Continent as soon as possible to get [
Only the power of the mark will do!"
"That's right, my friend!"
A sly smile appeared on Anorun's face, and he said: "According to the previous deal, I will give you divinity to quickly increase your strength, and you need to go to the Lost Continent for me to find the relics of the God of Slaughter."
"This is a win-win deal. I get the treasures from the ruins of the God of Slaughter, and you can get the [mark] to become a more powerful wizard to resurrect your beloved woman!"
"Hmph! I hope this transaction can go smoothly."
Jorah snorted coldly and said impatiently, "As per your request, I have already gone to the Lost Continent. Is it time to tell me the information about the ruins of the God of Slaughter?"
"Don't worry, my friend."
Anorun took his time and shook his head and said, "You are just going to the Lost Continent now, but you have not really set foot there. Even if I tell you the information about the ruins of the God of Slaughter, it will be of no use."
"Wait patiently. When the time comes, I will tell you everything. After all, you still need to complete the transaction between us." After saying that, Anorun disappeared from the mirror.
Jorah's eyes flickered, and his face was as gloomy as water.
