Galenie was very fast, or it could be said that Nereides took this matter very seriously. In just half an hour, the members of the Ice Curtain Mage Group she mentioned earlier arrived as scheduled. This is a group of
Wearing a white robe, holding a crystal scepter, with seven water patterns on the back forming an ocean pattern, each one has the strength of Sequence 7 and belongs to the priest class in the society of the mirror elves, and the commander who leads them is
He is the high priest of Sequence 6.
Going further up, Sequence 5 is called the Deep Sea Priest, and only demigods of Sequence 4 and above are eligible to take the title of Origin Priest. As for the angels of Sequence 2 or the true gods of Sequence 1, according to Neville, they are arrogant.
Since the pioneering era, few strong men of this level have been born among the mirror elves. This is not to say that there are no conditions, but to say that any mirror elven country or city-state that has the conditions to give birth to a strong true god will be raped by some evil and terrifying force.
The enemy targeted them, and they faced a disaster. Over time, they themselves gave up the fight, and Sequence 3 became the pinnacle of the mirror elves' promotion, and it has not changed for a long time.
As for who the evil and terrifying enemy is, I believe you can guess it without elaborating - the races on earth always think they have suffered such cruel oppression, the Harvest Moon from the Night Watch and the dark purge order from the Scales of Order
They are numb in pain. But in fact, in order to ensure the stability of sea routes and consolidate their hegemony in the colonial era, the massacre, annihilation and extermination measures carried out by the religious groups against the aliens in the deep sea are more unscrupulous than what they do on land. The vastness of the ocean is far greater than that of the land. When the living space on the land is compressed to an extremely narrow range, even the races that were originally natural enemies must unite to resist, just like the union of vampires and werewolves; but the aliens in the deep sea face
When faced with the same dilemma, the first reaction is always to flee, because the ocean is so big, and escaping to an area not jointly controlled by the religious sect seems to be far easier than resisting them.
It's hard to say which of these two countermeasures is more reasonable, but one thing is certain: as time goes by, the rebellious psychology of the deep-sea aliens is gradually being worn away by the endless escape. Maybe they can still survive today, but who can say
One day, will the joint rule of the sea be as airtight as the rule of the land? At that time, how should they deal with the fact that they have lost the fighting power of the true god level and have no will to resist?
Of course, these are digressions and have nothing to do with the current situation. After the members of the Ice Curtain Mage Group arrived, under the command of the commander, they surrounded the Cloud Whale from different directions and began to release underwater breathing techniques and
Deep Sea Adaptation, these two special sea magics, this is also the first time that everyone has witnessed the mirror elves performing magic.
The mirror elves believe that their magic is essentially communicating with the great Mother Goddess Crystal Snow through the Origin Stone and asking Him to bestow great divine power. Therefore, in the process of casting magic, in addition to the indispensable magic injection, it also requires
Supplemented by prayer gestures and obscure prayers.
Specifically, the gesture is to raise the crystal scepter with one hand, point the crystal ball on the top of the wand towards the target of the spell, and tilt the tail of the wand slightly to aim at the location of the origin stone: forehead, shoulder or chest. If the origin stone is located
For more special positions, such as the back of the hand or back, etc., just point directly to the heart; and the prayer to Crystal Snow is in the ancient Nord that no one can understand so far, and even the Mirror Elf himself can only repeat it.
Said in Hai language, a distinctive feature of this language is the numerous changes in syllables, and the intonation is lengthened at the end of each sound part, causing the entire prayer to sound like a sacred and solemn chant, resonating
The beating of blood and heart.
The three little girls were lying next to the window, curiously watching the scene of the mirror elves performing magic. At this time, the singing of the mirror elves priests had reached its climax, and they repeatedly chanted the ancient phrase at the end of the prayer.
The solemn words of praise, which were obviously only a few dozen people in size, aroused a mighty resonance that seemed to come from infinite worlds and countless times, making the calm sea water begin to tremble.
A series of raging waves rolled up from the edge.
With the poor knowledge reserves of the little girls, they naturally would not know that this compliment means "Dedicate all our efforts to you, the great crystal snow." They only saw the bodies of these mirror elf priests.
Glowing - to be precise, the Origin Stones inlaid on their bodies are emitting blue phantom light: from their foreheads, from their shoulders, from their chests, from the backs of their hands... and the commander is glowing directly from his heart.
The phantom glare dyed his skin and blood blue, as if covered with a sacred veil, making it difficult to look directly.
With the release of magic, a circular barrier like a crystal wall gradually took shape, covering the Cloud Whale Sky Island and its part under the sea. Being inside this crystal barrier, the appearance of everyone did not change.
, but when I look at the vast ocean again, I feel a strong sense of attachment, as if I can blend into it and become a part of the deep sea.
This is the underwater breathing technique and deep-sea adaptation technique that allows the races on the ground to move freely in the sea. They give the life on the ground the same racial talent as the mirror elves: absorbing oxygen from the sea water and being able to adapt to different levels of pressure on the ground and the deep sea.
, being able to see other objects in the dark and lightless abyss... If Magellan had had this ability when he was sailing in search of the New World during the Great Development Period, I am afraid he would not have been involved in a storm and ended up living on a deserted island.
"In this way, you can all sit back and relax." Galne, who stayed on the island to show her sincerity, said to Neville: "I wonder if you can follow me to Nereids to meet with Her Majesty the Queen?"
Now that the words have come to this point, Neville will naturally not object. So, Galenie ordered a few soldiers to stay here and wait for the guests' companions to come back to explain the situation to them, and then she took the rest with her
Soldiers, riding giant sea beasts shaped like seahorses, led the way for Neville and others. As for the priests of the Ice Curtain Mage Group, they seemed to have exhausted their magic power and needed to rest where they were, and then return to the city after recovering—
—Cloud Whale Sky Island is still too big after all. Even if underwater breathing and deep-sea adaptation are both basic magics in the sea magic system, when the scale is expanded to an entire island, the consumption will still increase exponentially.

During this period, Shelia was responsible for passing the message, letting Ovela who was still studying literature in the room and Iyeta who was sunbathing by the windmill tower understand the whole story. So, after seeing that everyone was ready, Iyeta
Manipulating the cloud whale sky island floating under the blue bridge, slowly sinking and swimming towards the bottom of the sea.
The giant whales in the Salia Wilderness in the past finally returned to the sea where they were supposed to swim.
……
At the same time.
In the city of Lottana, a suburb of Heligoland, in the sparsely populated Municipal Maritime Museum, Ringer, who was visiting a deep-sea monster fish specimen, suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the ocean, thoughtfully.
Alice was lying on the display cabinet playing a game of whoever blinks and loses first with the strange fish specimen, so she didn't notice his abnormality, but Saint Xalia noticed it, so she turned around and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?
Ringer?"
Ringer couldn't tell whether it was a premonition or a groundless illusion. After all, he didn't use his favor magic. After being silent for a while, he finally shook his head and replied: "Nothing."
As he said that, he withdrew his gaze and continued to observe the strange fish specimen in front of him, which was full of post-modern art style and human abstraction in appearance. Saint Xalia looked at his reaction, blinked, and suddenly remembered
What, so she moved two steps in his direction, and the two of them got closer, almost shoulder to shoulder. Then, she said slowly in a voice that only they could hear: "I
Got it, Ringo."
"You are thinking about Miss Lorena, right?"
Ringer: "..."
Alice: "?"
She raised her nose and sniffed: Why is there a sour smell in the air? Is this specimen pickled?
