Dr. Banks had previously left biomarkers on the remaining battleships of those mages in the plane of gods, so the Dawn Group had always known the approximate location coordinates of that fleet.
Now the Dawn Group has sailed all the way to the outskirts of the ruins of the Kingdom of Ancient Dragons, and has discovered that those sea ships are nearby within a few days' voyage.
Although I don’t know how those guys came to such deep waters, the mark has not been moved for a long time. Maybe they encountered some special situation, or the enemy realized something and deliberately parked it as bait.
But no matter what, Su Lun felt that he had to confirm the situation first.
It wasn't that far apart anyway, so he originally planned to get closer and go there to get some information.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Pandora, who had been stealing faith in the Silver Dragon Kingdom, sent a message saying that she had obtained a very important clue.
On this day, there was an unnamed desert island with no sign on the chart.
The Evernight continued sailing on the sea, while Su Lun followed the coordinates left by Pandora and teleported to the island.
There are a lot of traces of human activities left on the island.
According to Pandora, last night, a fleet of more than 100,000 people anchored here to rest for the night.
That was a funeral procession from the Silver Dragon Kingdom.
Su Lun also found it incredible.
Because this desert island is already near the ruins of the Kingdom of Ancient Dragons, and according to the markings on the chart, it is even closer to the core of the ruins than the Dawn Mission.
But how is this possible!
Su Lun knew only too well how many dangerous monsters the Dawn Regiment encountered during their voyage before arriving here.
It is simply impossible for an ordinary fleet to have the strength to resist risks.
But the strange thing is that the funeral procession didn't just come.
It was a smooth journey and we reached this depth without encountering any accidents?
Su Lun naturally didn't believe it.
But Pandora is in that fleet now, and she has witnessed the entire voyage with her own eyes.
According to her observation, there are various signs that there seems to be a mysterious force behind the funeral procession to protect these people. And there is a high probability that it is involved with people from the plane of gods.
That's why Su Lun came in person.
In order to prevent being discovered, Su Lun did not teleport directly onto the ship.
After carefully observing the traces on the desert island, he teleported again and went to the next space coordinate left by Pandora.
After teleporting several times, he could already see the fleet of hundreds of ships on the sea.
Su Lun also frowned as he looked at those single-masted sailing ships called "large galley warships" in the waters of the Kingdom of Dragon.
This kind of boat has a very shallow draft, and its main power is sails and human-powered oars. It is not suitable for long-distance voyages at all. The slightest strong wind and waves can capsize the boat.
However, it is a miracle that such a sea ship has sailed into the depths of the Dragon Kingdom ruins and has not sunk yet.
Su Lun was afraid that there was a perception expert on the ship, so she didn't dare to get close to detect it. She asked about the situation on Pandora's ship. She said that she could teleport, so she teleported directly there.
The surrounding scenery changed, from the sea to a cramped and dark cabin.
Su Lun knew that the space on the ship was not big, but he only realized how small it was the moment before he teleported over.
He followed the spatial coordinates on Pandora's necklace and teleported over. As soon as he came over, the two of them happened to be squeezed into each other.
What you see in front of you looks like a corner of a warehouse, with goods piled around it.
This space was originally just big enough for one and a half people to stand, but now that Su Lun is here, the two of them can only stick together.
My arms are full of warm jade, and the touch is delicate.
Looking again, there was a man in a cloak about a foot away.
Su Lun looked up and saw Pandora's beautiful face.
She looked at Su Lun's expression, raised her eyebrows and explained: "Don't look like that. It would be nice to have such an independent space on this ship."
Su Lun listened to this and felt it, it was really like this.
This sloop, which originally could only carry three to five hundred people, now holds more than a thousand people.
Just like those slave ships of Lu Ying's time, the cabin was densely packed with people as if stuffed with cargo.
As Pandora said, with such a place to stand and a small window for ventilation, it is already the best "single room" on the ship.
Not just this one, but all ships within the sensing range are like this.
But what Su Lun is more puzzled about than the crowd is why there are so many people?
Moreover, many of the sensed souls on the ship are not very strong, and they should be ordinary people. The Silver Dragon King's royal family has brought so many ordinary people to the funeral, and no matter how you look at it, you feel that something is wrong.
Pandora seemed to read his inner thoughts and said: "These people only know that they are here to bury the king. But I think it is not that simple."
Su Lun listened thoughtfully.
The one who was buried was naturally the former King Gracie VIII who passed by the silver dragon.
When two Gorgons fought on the outskirts of the royal capital Eklensa, the royal family members who escaped were all turned to stone.
Then a prince ascended the throne and became the new king. He didn't even think about lifting the curse of the previous king. He directly arranged for someone to bury him, saying that he wanted to be buried at sea in the Kingdom of Ancient Dragons, which was the greatest respect for the old king.
But, 100,000 people need to come for the funeral?
Or go deep into such dangerous waters?
Also, what mysterious force protected these people and allowed them to come over smoothly?
Doubts arose one after another, and Su Lun always felt as if all the routines and recipes were familiar.
At this time, Pandora briefly explained the situation and then expressed her conclusion: "I guess that this group of people should have been sent for 'sacrifice'."
"Sacrifice?"
Su Lun was lost in thought as he listened.
He also thought of this, so it felt familiar.
Once upon a time, the Dawn Group encountered the same routine when they were adventuring in the four countries of Hokkaido.
Back in the Roman Kingdom, the priests of the Agaparthenon Temple used treasures as bait to attract hundreds of thousands of adventurers to explore the sea. In the end, it was discovered that it was the false god Neptune who was sacrificed to the sea ruins in exchange for good weather.
And now the funeral procession looks exactly the same.
Some evil false gods require sacrifices to gain power. At the same time, humans can reach some exchange conditions with evil gods through sacrifices.
Thinking of this, the conspiracy behind the funeral gradually became clear.
Su Lun fell into deep thought.
Neither of them spoke.
They were huddled in a narrow corner, and even each other's breathing could be clearly heard.
After maintaining this posture for a while, Pandora seemed to feel uncomfortable and moved her body slightly.
With this movement, the two of them got closer, and even through a thin layer of clothing, they could clearly feel their graceful figures.
Su Lun clearly felt the large piece of warmth and softness sticking up to him, and then he came back to his senses and took a look.
But there was no strange color on Pandora's face at all.
Her beautiful eyes were shining, and she continued: "When I was collecting beliefs, I found that the current king of the Silver Dragon Kingdom has a close relationship with the white-robed wizard Garcia you mentioned, and there is a high probability that he is also a believer of a certain god in the plane of heaven.
.This funeral sacrifice is most likely planned by the mages from the plane of gods behind it."
At this point, she paused and then said: "These days, I have also discovered that the beliefs of the Silver Dragon Kingdom are very complicated, and various false gods emerge in an endless stream. Among them, one of the most popular ones is the 'Grey Mist Sect'.
They believe in a false god called the 'Lord of the Gray Mist', who can protect fishermen's harvest and safety at sea. And I found the Gray Mist sect believers on the boat. When they prayed, there was a power of faith directed at them.
Deep in the sea in the direction we are sailing."
"That's it"
When Su Lun heard this, he almost completely understood the ins and outs of the matter.
Now that the long-distance teleportation array on Rainbow Island is gone, those guys in the plane of gods have no backup. If they want to go to the depths of the sea of the Kingdom of Ancient Dragons to find [Mimir's Fountain], even if they have a group of several thousand people, they will still be alive.
The probability of finding it is also extremely low.
Therefore, some external force must be needed.
Just like the previous cooperation with the Gorgon Dacheng, it was probably the external force they relied on.
But the Gorgon was killed by Medusa "Helen" before, and they now have to find another partner.
And a false god who can control the ocean is perfect.
It just so happens that the current royal family of the Silver Dragon Kingdom is a believer in the gods, so it is easy to mobilize people to serve as sacrifices.
So in the name of the funeral king, more than 100,000 people came to sacrifice.
And then make an agreement with the false god in exchange for successfully reaching the deep sea?
After Su Lun thought about it, he came to the above conclusion.
Although all this is just Pandora's speculation, considering the current situation, this speculation is almost a fact.
Pandora saw that he had also figured it out, and then said: "There is also a group of mysterious people on the main ship. I suspect they are magicians from the plane of gods. In order not to alert the snake, I did not test them."
She followed because she was naturally concerned about the divine power of faith in the "Lord of Gray Mist".
She did not hide her purpose and said directly: "So I planned to steal the faith of that false god during the sacrifice. But after coming here, I discovered that this sea area is connected to the hell plane, and the divine power left over from ancient times
It is very rich, which is of great benefit to me. It is also of great benefit to other beings. And the false god has condensed the false godhead here, and may have some special abilities. So, I may need your help.
"
"Um."
When Su Lun heard this, he nodded without hesitation.
Pandora is now the backbone of the Dawn Regiment. If he asks for help, he will naturally not refuse.
Moreover, Pandora is very strong now. If it were stronger, the Total War Dawn group would have more confidence.
Su Lun automatically connected the clues in his mind and felt that Pandora's plan was good.
If the false god can be killed, it can be regarded as directly destroying the treasure hunting plan in the plane of gods.
Thinking about it, he asked, "When do you think the sacrifice will be?"
Pandora responded: "It should be soon. I feel that the false god's power in the nearby sea is getting stronger and stronger. It will take at most three or two days of sailing to reach the target sea area."
Su Lun nodded, "Yeah."
You can wait for two or three days. If you don't expose it now, then you can catch the false god by surprise.
The two discussed some details and roughly finalized the plan.
However, Su Lun looked at the cramped environment. Should he stay like this for two days?
Their corner was pretty good. The outer cabin was divided into three levels with a height of more than two meters. Everyone was huddled on the floor, piled together like barrels, and they couldn't even stand up straight.
Pandora saw that his expression was slightly different, but she didn't mind at all. Instead, a hint of cunning appeared on her beautiful face, and she joked: "Hey, you don't seem to feel comfortable?"
"."
Su Lun rolled his eyes when he heard this.
He knew that Pandora's words were definitely not the kind of teasing between men and women, but purely to have some fun.
Probably because she had been the arrogant Tsukuyomi god in front of outsiders for a long time, and finally found someone who could speak normally, so she no longer had to maintain the majesty of a god, and her speech became more casual.
As far as Su Lun knew, she seemed to have the only two people she could communicate with normally, herself and Mr. Jing, so it was boring to think about being a god.
Maybe she had a little revengeful intention when she was captured by Su Lun?
In short, Su Lun would not take it seriously.
But under the current situation, the two of them were squeezed into this narrow space, and there was no way there was a lot of physical contact.
But Pandora had to stay here to sense the evil god's situation, and Su Lun couldn't bring her into the small void world.
And he himself had to stay on the ship to deal with changes that might happen at any time.
It seems that the two of them can only maintain this situation of being in the same room.
Pandora probably felt that after two academic studies on the alchemical body, her body had no privacy to Su Lun, so she always behaved generously, and her attitude was basically: you can see it if you want, and you can touch it if you want.
Please do so.
You can even take the initiative to flirt with him occasionally to pass the boring sailing time.
Su Lun didn't think much of it at first, and even had a little fun, but she couldn't resist the evil Shinto charm technique. (Tsukuyomi Master also controls the sexual desire, which is one of her secret skills of Shinto practice)
In the end, he was at a disadvantage and was defeated.
Su Lun then found a way to cut some of the goods with silk thread, and then expanded the space to allow two people to stand and sit.
Just like this, it was two days later.
Su Lun was used to a super-large sailing battleship like the Evernight, and it was a little uncomfortable to suddenly switch to such a small single-masted boat.
On the Evernight, the cabin is relatively stable even if there are wind and waves.
But on a small boat, if there is a slight wave, it feels like everything is turned upside down.
But as luck would have it, this kind of sailing ship with a shallow draft that looked like it should have sunk a hundred times in this sea, sailed smoothly all the way.
There were no severe storms, and even the larger sea beasts in the sea were deliberately avoided.
Su Lun also gradually realized that Pandora was right, that the "Lord of Gray Mist" really had some tricks.
At least, it can keep those high-level sea beasts and aberrations away from them, which must be a relatively matching ability.
It must be tricky.
On the evening of the third day, the sunlight outside the window dimmed.
Suellen and Pandora were hiding in the corner of the cabin meditating.
There was thick fog outside the window, and the fleet also stopped.
Su Lun opened his eyes and glanced at the black fog outside the window.
This was already the edge of the center of the ruins of the Kingdom of Ancient Dragons. He estimated the distance and found that the legendary connection to the volcano on the hell plane was only half a month's voyage further east.
The air of hell is already very strong, and the people on the ship are already showing signs of slight distortion. If we wait a few more days, I'm afraid most of these people will turn into monsters.
Su Lun didn't know what he thought of, and frowned slightly.
The closer he got to this sea area, he felt vaguely that something was wrong.
But I don't know where the source of that something strange is.
He looked at Uncle Crow, who was dozing on his shoulder. After getting the necromantic plane fragment a few days ago, Uncle Crow has been eating a lot better recently. He is full and full all day long, and his coat is also very bright. He looks like he is about to advance.
appearance.
It was very quiet, and the clouds in Su Lun's heart dissipated a little.
Just when my thoughts were wandering, suddenly, there was a "swishing" sound of water outside.
It was as if someone had dumped a large amount of stuff into the sea.
The fleet did not rest and berth normally like the previous two days, but gradually moved closer together.
Su Lun thought: "Is the sacrifice about to begin?"
Pandora on the side also opened her eyes, sensed something and said: "The power of faith is gathering outside, and that guy should appear."
When she said this, her face was very serious, as if she was gradually entering a divine state.
Su Lun also looked stern when he heard this.
There will probably be a fierce battle after a while.
I notified the Yongye side that if support is needed, they will go over and shake people off at any time.
And he always felt that this sacrifice would be somehow related to the Dawn Group.
At this time, a greeting came from the deck.
"Some people will come and carry His Majesty the King's burial objects to the deck!"
"Hurry up! Everyone move!"
"."
With this shout, everyone on the boat where Su Lun and the two were staying was busy carrying all the goods aboard, and then dumped them into the sea.
Many people still think that this is a burial object for the royal family, but they do not know that it is a sacrifice to the evil god.
Cartons of goods were being moved away, and those people seemed completely unable to see the two Su Lun in the corner, busy on their own.
Both Suellen and Pandora are biding their time.
However, while waiting, Su Lun whispered: "Hey, those two brothers and sisters are also on the boat?"
Because there were more than a hundred ships in the fleet that were far apart before and were not noticed before. Now they were all gathered together. Only then did he sense that there were two familiar souls on another ship.
It was none other than Bennett from the Miracle Legion and his sister Isabel.
Su Lun had a good impression of these two siblings.
After all, there is still some affection in it.
Not only the two siblings, but also people from the Miracle Legion, almost all of them are also in the fleet.
"Were they also used as sacrifices?"
Su Lun thought about it and figured it out.
The Miracle Legion is loyal to the former king, but they are also people who firmly oppose the belief in the plane of gods.
Now that the new king has ascended the throne, it is natural for them to be sent to the funeral as sacrifices.
Because of some affection, Su Lun planned to inform them.
What's more, the members of the Miracle Legion are not weak in combat effectiveness, and those hundreds of people gathered together are also a powerful force.
Thinking of this, he said to Pandora beside him: "I'll go over there."
Pandora nodded and said no more.
At this moment, she was filled with divine power, her eyes were like two red moons, and she looked extremely strange.
He has become the "Tsukuyomi Master".
Su Lun sensed a direction, teleported, and appeared in the cabin of another ship.
This is the main ship, much larger than the one he stayed on before, with many independent cabins for senior knights.
When Suellen teleported over, Bennett was on the deck asking people to dump the funerary objects into the sea.
Only her sister Isabel was in the cabin, with a sad look on her face, as if she was thinking about something.
When there was one more person in the room, she suddenly turned around, pulled out the dagger from her waist, and disappeared from the scene.
Su Lun felt the sharp blade on his neck, and easily blocked it with two fingers, while saying at the same time: "It's me, Su Lun."
He knew that Isabel was a good assassin and had no intention of causing any trouble, so he imprisoned her whole body.
When Isabel heard the voice, she looked again and said in surprise: "Mr. Sullen?"
She never expected that she would meet the powerful overseas man she had met once before.
Su Lun watched her tense muscles relax and put her down.
Isabel asked again: "Sir, why are you here?"
Su Lun glanced at her and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Hearing this, Isabel's eyebrows flashed with a trace of sadness, and she said truthfully: "We are here to bury His Majesty the King."
Su Lun keenly caught the change in her expression. Apparently she also realized that things were not that simple, and asked again: "Do you know who is on the other main ship of this fleet?"
Isabel didn't know why he asked this, but she said truthfully: "I don't know. I heard it was a funeral wizard."
After listening to what she said, Su Lun was sure that people like Bennett were also completely unaware.
Without waiting for anyone, he got straight to the point: "You and the people on the ship may have been used as sacrifices. This is a sea sacrifice. In addition, the people on the main ship may not be wizards, but magicians from the plane of gods."
.”
At this statement, Isabel's expression suddenly changed.
She rolled her eyes and murmured to herself in shock: "Why did the royal family arrange for so many people to come? No wonder"
Su Lun didn't mean to explain, and said directly: "Call your brother down, I have something to say to him. Be careful not to be discovered."
"Um!"
When Isabel heard this, she thought seriously for a moment and nodded.
Although she felt that she was not familiar with the person in front of her, her brother always said that he was trustworthy.
She couldn't pay attention to such a big thing, so she ran all the way to the deck.
Not long after, Bennett walked into the cabin with a puzzled look on his face.
Seeing Su Lun here, he was equally surprised.
But when Suellen told the whole story, Bennett was also shocked.
He had previously observed that there were many doubts about this funeral trip, but now that he was talking about it, what did he not understand?
He is indeed loyal to the Gracie royal family, but he is not the current king!
Now that he, his family, and his brothers from the Miracle Legion are being used as sacrifices, how can they remain silent?
But at this moment, the sacrifices had been thrown into the sea and the sacrifices had begun.
Without warning, the ship's hull began to shake violently.
Outside the window, the fog had turned as black as ink, and an indescribable evil will quietly descended.
Su Lun looked at his pupils and said softly: "The evil god is here."
The expressions of the Bennett brothers changed at the same time, and they clenched the weapons in their hands.
Just when the false god was coming in the mist, Pandora also announced on the communicator: "It's time to take action!"
Su Lun listened to the warlock seal and instantly disappeared into the cabin.
He did not go directly to trouble the outer god, but teleported and appeared on another main ship.
He had already captured the positions of those magicians. As soon as he teleported into the cabin, he saw two seventh-level magicians leading a magic team chanting spells in front of a huge magic circle.
As soon as Su Lun's domain unfolded, he raised his sword and dropped it without ceremony. The group of people in front of him were already dead and dismembered before they could even react.
With his current strength, it would be easy to kill a magic team!
However, his goal is not these magicians, destroying the sacrifice is just the beginning.
The plan is that Su Lun takes action first, and then waits for the false god to reveal his methods, and then Pandora makes a sneak attack to steal the divine power of faith!
Sure enough, the moment Su Lun destroyed the sacrificial formation, the will in the black mist suddenly showed irritability and anger, and attacked Su Lun's ship.
At the same time, a distant and terrifying voice came from my ears: "Stupid human being, how dare you offend a great god!"
These words echoed in my mind, and there was a pressure of faith that seemed to make people worship me.
"snort!"
Su Lun snorted coldly, with a stern expression.
The shadow of the God of Death rose up behind him, instantly dispelling the shocking negative state.
He's just a false god, but he really thinks he's a god?
With Su Lun's current strength, he is not necessarily afraid of any false gods!
