The expanse of blue and the vastness of the sea make one open-minded at first glance. Lucien slowly lowered his flight altitude and used the "Advanced Invisibility Technique" on himself. The Kuo Tao Murloc Altar is on the seabed nearby./

The further you fly down, the stronger the fishy smell in the sea breeze becomes, even taking on a bit of a foul smell. Lucien's "Health Belt" activates in response, flowing invisible power to repel the filthy feeling.
On top of the rippling blue, many gray, dark, and dark green bubbles silently rose up. After they expanded to a certain extent, they burst on their own, dyeing the surroundings the same color, full of evil and chaotic smell.
"The polluted sea area is similar to the Dark Mountains. It is full of space cracks, but it is smaller and more single. It is only connected to the endless abyss. Due to the long-term pollution of the chaotic and evil atmosphere of the abyss, the creatures in this sea area have undergone demonic changes, which are quite large.
Danger."
Information about the polluted sea area quickly emerged in Lucien's mind. It was far away from the Solar Islands and the Pearl Islands, and truly belonged to the depths of the endless ocean. Even though Lucien was flying at full strength with advanced flying skills comparable to ordinary airliners on Earth,
It also took several days to arrive here. Of course, Lucien found a small island to rest at night to avoid excessive fatigue and crack the Sun Scepter at the same time.
Because it is so far away from the land, and there are no precious minerals or specialties nearby, the Magic Council has never noticed the existence of this sea area. It was not until Lucien passed through the Storm Strait that he encountered Kuo-Toa murlocs robbing the Heilan Stone.
He discovered the existence of the polluted sea area and obtained a map to get there.
At that time, Lucien's magic level was only level one, and he had no intention of taking risks. After submitting the information to the Magic Council and receiving an arcane point reward, he forgot about it until he accepted Rhine's mission. He used arcane magic.
It was only when the review committee members reviewed relevant information that they discovered that the committee had completed a preliminary investigation into the polluted sea areas and the Kuo Tao fishman incident.
"Although the information about the 'polluted sea area' was not taken seriously at the beginning and only gave me one arcane point, in the end it was myself who benefited. Well, the efficiency of the Affairs Committee is really good. The benefits of the existence of the organization are not only material resources and magic.
In terms of knowledge and safety and security..."
Lucien thought while thinking about the information about the Kuo Tao Murloc Altar in the polluted sea:
"...Kuo Tao fish people, intelligent creatures, believe in the god of the sea, Umbora. They have innate spells in water and illusion, and are strong in melee combat under the sea. They are widely found in the Storm Strait and the endless ocean. They have developed from primitive tribes into the form of a country.
, with the altar as the core of the settlement...the royal family is generally located at the Heart of the Ocean Altar, five thousand kilometers northeast of the Solar Islands..."
"...'Ambora, the God of the Ocean, is rumored to have fallen into a deep sleep in ancient times and never responded to prayers. In the past thousand years, the power of the priests has been basically taken away by the royal family, and is only used as a symbol of faith and honor.
Therefore, the Kou Tao fishmen of the priest line are very dissatisfied, but due to their lack of strength, they are unable to make effective resistance..."
"...About the beginning of May 816. A Kuo-Tao fish-man altar located in the polluted sea area suddenly and secretly claimed to have received the oracle from the god of the sea, Umbra, and asked the fish-man believers to collect a large amount of materials in order to open the altar.
Relics hidden underneath, awaken Umbra. Restore the majesty of divine authority... In view of the involvement of 'gods', the matter was submitted to the Supreme Council..."
"...January 817. The Kuo-Toa people in the polluted sea area collected all the resources and began to open the ruins. The King of Control Brooke, Silver Moon Scholar Chelsea Holt and others 'watched' at close range... When the ruins were opened, the Kuo-Toa people
The human prince led many powerful men to arrive, seized control of the ruins, and let them preside over the awakening ceremony..."
"The ritual failed and failed to awaken Amber. Mr. Brooke and others also did not find Amber's 'body'. However, the opening of the ruins also improved the resistance of the Ocean God Altar to sea pollution, allowing the powerful priests to
There is still a little hope left, thinking that the awakening has actually been successful, but many years of slumber have prevented the God of the Ocean from regaining its full strength, so it has not yet come. As long as the sacrifices are continued for many years, one day, the God of the Ocean will surely restore its ancient glory.
"
"Due to the interference of the Kuo Tao royal family, the altar of the polluted sea currently only has two seventh-level high priests, two seventh-level ocean warriors, a 'Blue Guard' cult of about a hundred people, and the entire sea area.
Thousands of devout fishmen believers."
It was this information that made Lucien think that the Kuo Tao fishman altar in the polluted sea area was relatively the simplest and easiest place. After all, when Rhine infiltrated, there was a ninth-level divine priest and nine high-level powerhouses here.
, the three middle and low-level "Blue Guard" sects, after some internal fighting, as well as the interference and deployment of the royal family, the ninth-level divine priests and five high-level powerful men "returned" to the Heart of the Ocean Altar.
Some devout fish people and the "Azure Guardian" cult were moved away on the pretext that the place was "seriously polluted and unsuitable for survival."
Another advantage is that the Kuo Tao fish-men eat a lot, and the nearby creatures contaminated by the breath of the endless abyss are quite dangerous. They need to be led by high-level experts to hunt every day. Many times, there is only one high-level person left in the altar.
Guarding, for Lucien, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he can rush in and leave calmly.
Lucien was originally worried that with the opening of the ruins and the failure of the awakening ceremony, Rhine's arrangement would become ineffective, but Rhine said there was no problem, and it would instead strengthen his magic circle. However, he finally frowned slightly and said:
"Safety is paramount. When you throw the filthy blood balls into the altar, be sure to hold on to the 'Pale Justice'. After all, this place is connected to the endless abyss. When the magic circle is activated, some crazy evil guys may be alerted, although they cannot come directly.
The main world, but following the connection, some of the power can still be used to make you 'contaminated'. In fact, the Crown of the Sun has a very good defensive effect, but since you have taken the Pale Justice, you must choose the most powerful one.
."
With the affirmation of both positive and negative aspects, Lucien also came up with the idea of observing and choosing an opportunity to sneak in directly.
The waves almost hit Lucien's body, and the stench of blood was strong. A flounder suddenly jumped out and bit Lucien.
This flounder is different from normal. It is completely black and has two rows of sharp teeth. It has four pairs of baby-like arms on its body, glowing with a faint blue light, like a monster in a nightmare.
For demon-oriented creatures, they are born with the ability to see through invisibility!
Lucien came back from his thoughts and turned his eyes to it.
The Devil's Flounder Pende decomposed into countless light spots of different colors, returned to its pure elemental appearance, and quickly combined with the surroundings.
"In early May of 816, I received the Umbra Oracle. Isn't that what happened not long after the Maskelon 'Grand Cross' mystery chain collapsed? This place is indeed related to the world of the dead..."
After suppressing his doubts, Lucien blessed himself with "water breathing", "underwater action" and other magics, as well as some spells that concealed his breath and traces, and gently threw himself into the sea.
The sea water came from all directions, rippling in a trance and dreaming. Lucien quickly swam towards a cave in the sea according to the instructions of the intelligence and map - Kuo Tao fish people are not deep-sea creatures. They live about tens of meters under the sea.
Reefs, rock walls, seaweed gathering places and other places.
One after another, strange-looking fish swam past Lucien with a strange feeling. From time to time, they could be seen fighting in chaos. Half an hour later, Lucien saw a cave guarded by two monsters with fish heads and human bodies.
…………
Three days later, Lucien, who confirmed the activity pattern of the Kuo-Tao fish-men, knocked out a fish-man hunting nearby, transformed into its appearance, dragged a seven-segmented demonic sea snake, and entered the normal invisible and normal state openly.
The altar cave is ineffective even with advanced invisibility.
Snap, just after turning the corner, Lucien threw the sea snake into an empty lair, slightly changing the appearance of the "murloc". He held the "frost sword" and turned into an afterimage, hiding, "Be careful
"Hidden" and sneaked toward the altar.
The altar of Amber, the God of the Ocean, is decorated with a large number of heilan stones. It is crystal clear and extremely dreamy. Under the altar, there is a gray fishman whose whole body is covered in oil. Its scales have lost their luster and appear dim.
of paleness.
Suddenly, the tall and majestic fish-man-like statue on the altar lit up with light blue light, reflecting the "strange fish-man" that was quickly approaching.
"A strange fish-man has sneaked in? Isn't it possible that the royal family still wants to give up and want to explore the secret of the God of the Sea?" The fish-man high priest Blanchit said secretly with strong resentment.
Seeing that the infiltrating fishman was already approaching the altar, Blanchett ordered the dozen or so "dark blue guards" around him:
"When he enters this cave, we will cooperate with the magic circle to capture him. I will carefully interrogate what the royal family wants to do!"
"His speed is only that of a second-level marine warrior, but he has a lot of magic equipment, which is equivalent to a fifth-level one. Don't be careless."
"Yes, respected high priest!" More than a dozen dark blue guards looked at the scene with a ferocious smile. This abominable fishman who had betrayed God really did not choose a good time. He actually chose the high priest's daily prayer time. This is not what he wanted.
Has he been discovered? Although when he gets close to the altar, he will still activate the warning circle on the altar and alert the high priest nearby, but it is always funny to throw himself into a trap like this.
A sneaky figure sneaked into the cave, and the sea water suddenly turned dark green, with a strong feeling of paralysis, which made people lose their strength. Around a dozen big knights, knight-level dark blue guards, with magic
Hundreds of illusory ocean warriors created by the formation, surrounded by water from all directions.
"You are so brave, you dare to sneak into the altar with a magical item that has stealth!" High Priest Blanchit's dark red eyes looked coldly at the fallen man who had abandoned God.
He didn't take action. To deal with a fish-man warrior of this level, there was no need for him to take action himself, let alone fully open the altar to cooperate.
Suddenly, a crystal halo appeared on the stalker's body, and a blizzard suddenly filled the cave.
One by one, the dark blue guards were frozen in place. If the fishmen hadn't been naturally resistant to the cold, at least half of them would have died directly.
The frost halo spread extremely quickly, and the illusory marine warriors condensed into ice and disintegrated in place. After Blanchett was shrouded in the blizzard, he couldn't help but shiver, and was frozen stiff and sluggish for two seconds.
"Oops! Could it be that the royal family sent someone to assassinate us and destroy the strong man at the altar!"
The middle and low-level warriors suddenly turned into terrifying high-level mage. At this moment, Blanchett was filled with panic and anger. Has the royal family reached such a crazy level?
The fish-man mage beside him has turned into an ice sculpture, and a layer of azure mirror on his magic robe protrudes, blocking out all the ice.
"Activate the altar immediately!"
"I am also a high-level strong man!"
Just when Blanchit got rid of his sluggishness, regained his confidence, and planned to use the altar to fight against the sudden strongman, he was shocked to see that the fish-man had a magic wand inlaid with a sunstone in his hand.
Bright light shined, and Blanchett felt the surrounding scene change. Dark night fell, and the stars emerged in the sky!
"Special labyrinth technique? A master of nine rings?" Blanhit lost his voice in horror.
Since the maze-type spells did not directly threaten life, and he was delayed by the frost aura for two seconds, many defenses either did not have time to activate, or had no effect.
"It's over, the altar is destroyed, the royal family is so decisive and ruthless..."
"I am a sinner of the God of the Sea..."
…………
Lucien was deliberately exposed in order to paralyze Blanchit, and then seize the initiative, trapping it with "Thanos's Strange Labyrinth" before it could escape from the slow effect of the frost aura and react.
Five minutes is enough time to activate the magic circle and leave calmly! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.
