The next moment, the magic net shook and the light and shadow changed. Xia Duo took a closer look and found that he had appeared in a stone room with an obvious marine style. A female elf in a blue silk robe was waiting in the teleportation circle with a team of attendants.
outside.
"Distinguished Alliance Messenger! The Queen has prepared a welcome ceremony and is just waiting for your arrival!"
Tai Lun glanced at Xia Duo, got a response from Xia Duo's eyes, and then said to the female officer: "Time is tight, so there is no need for a welcome ceremony or anything like that. Take us to the port, and we can talk about anything else after we return from the Sea Elf Country."
"Yes." The female officer did not dare to refute, perhaps because she had already been told how to deal with it when she arrived, so she dismissed the welcoming queue and personally took Sha Duo and other alliance mages to the port mentioned by Tyron.
…
When you exit the stone chamber, the first thing you see is a small basin hidden between the valleys. The brackish sea breeze blows into it from the gap in the basin, and then rushes up the mountain.
Xia Duo looked far into the distance and could clearly see the sea in the distance from the gap in the basin, as well as other islands dotted in the sea. Comparing it with the overhead view of the archipelago in his memory, he roughly understood where he was.
Although there are many islands in the Moon Shadow Islands, the ones suitable for elves to survive are very limited, and there are even fewer suitable for a large number of elves to live together or even form a civilization, basically only two or three.
As they walked, the female officer also introduced, "Dear envoys, the magic ship heading to Belluno, the Pearl of the Sea City, is already waiting at the port, and Her Majesty the Queen has specially arranged for a senior guide to accompany you, in case all countries are on the way.
consult."
"Is Belluno the city of sea elves?" Sha Duo asked curiously.
"Yes, Belluno is the only sea elf city, or city-state, that we know of." The female officer replied.
Sha Duo nodded and asked Tai Lun: "Have you heard of Belluno before?"
"No." Tyron shook his head, "In the past, our trade with the sea elves was usually on the sea west of the Moon Shadow Islands. Before each transaction, the sea elves would tell us the specific time through Cynaria.
We will sail the ship to a rough location in advance, and when the time comes, the sea elves will appear from the sea and board the ship for trade."
"I see!"
Even Tyron, a high mage, has never heard of Belluno. It is feasible to know how Sinaria controlled this communication channel in the past, but now it is Sinaria who has taken the initiative to lead people to the sea elves country.
.
"How strong is Belluno?" Sha Duo continued to ask.
This was of course a question to the palace lady in charge of reception in Cynaria, and she did not hesitate and immediately gave the answer: "There are currently six high-ranking mages in Belluno. The remaining mages have not yet been counted, but it can be basically assumed that
All the people in Belluno are mages."
Hearing such an answer, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel a little silent. If the female official hadn't lied, the strength of this undersea pearl city really shouldn't be underestimated!
I just don’t know how they got involved with the Illuminati.
With this in mind, Xia Duo did not continue to ask, because the group of them had already arrived at the port under the leadership of the female officer of Sinaria. The port looked a little shabby from the outside, but the magic aura it exuded was extremely abundant.
It is obvious that the dilapidation is just a disguise, but it is actually a well-run medium-sized port.
There were only two ships at the port berth at this time, one was a traditional elven sailboat, and the other had a weird shape. It had no sails or oars, but looked more like a large arthropod, similar to a centipede or a shrimp.
There are a large number of appendages on the abdomen, swaying back and forth underwater, but clearly emitting a magical aura of light and dark.
"This is the magic ship Riptide. It can take you to the underwater city of Belluno." The female officer pointed to the strange-looking magic ship and introduced it in a rather proud tone.
Then, she raised a hand, and it was only then that Xia Duo noticed a silver hollow bracelet on the other person's wrist. The next moment, the magic ship Riptide in the shape of a Pippi shrimp burst out with a dazzling aura.
Immediately afterwards, a section of the "carapace" in the middle of the hull suddenly opened, and a zigzag suspended staircase stretched out from the inside, extending all the way to the side of the trestle where Xia Duo and others were.
The next moment, a male elf who seemed a bit rough in Xia Duo's impression came out. He first saluted the female officer, and then looked at Xia Duo and others:
"Dignified guests from the mainland, the queen has given instructions, please come with me."
"Get aboard!"
After Xia Duo gave the order, Candela and others boarded the ship first, followed closely by Tai Lun. Xia Duo was the last one. Before boarding the ship, he left a message to the female officer:
"Thank you to Her Majesty the Queen for me!"
…
Inside the Riptide.
After entering the cabin, the structure and furnishings inside were no different from those of a normal magic ship. It was even difficult for Shado to connect the interior with the weird appearance, but the Riptide did indeed look that weird.
"Dear Alliance Messenger, I am the Queen's Marine Advisor Meera, and I will be your guide for the rest of the trip."
"Just call me Shado. You will be familiar with this Talon mage from Ilfarang. As long as you work hard, the Alliance will not care about these common etiquette."
"Yes, Consultant Sha Duo, Master Tai Lun." Meira came with the queen's mission, her attitude was always humble and respectful, "If you two want to know anything, you can ask me at any time."
"Um."
Xia Duo did not ask anything immediately, but turned on the exterior projection of the magic ship on his own. This is a regular configuration of the magic ship. As long as the captain does not stop it, the guests on the ship can operate it by themselves.
In an instant, the cabin became transparent, and except for the floor beneath his feet, the rest of the cabin became invisible. At this time, Xia Duo felt as if he was underwater.
This is indeed the case. The Riptide is diving rapidly. Compared to the huge hull of a swimming fish, it has brought about waves of undercurrents, so that the exterior scene projected onto Chateau's cabin also seems to be distorted by several strips of light.
entangled.
Those light bands are actually strange phenomena caused by sunlight shining into the shallow sea due to different refractive indexes at different levels of the undercurrent.
However, this phenomenon of entangled light bands quickly disappeared. On the one hand, this is because the light becomes darker the further you go underwater, and on the other hand, the pressure becomes greater the further you go underwater. Even a magic ship can hardly rely on its hull alone.
bear such pressure.
Therefore, when reaching a certain depth, the Torrent will activate the [Water Element Field] that Shado is already very familiar with. When in the deep sea, the greatest use of this spell is to eliminate water pressure.
Shado, who was inside the cabin, was also affected by this spell, or blessed. However, at his request, Candela and others consciously cast spells to re-bless the elemental synchronization spell.
If not, then their lives are actually in the hands of the captain of the Riptide, which is obviously not what Sha Duo wants to see. ()
