Surrounded by swaying water waves, strange-shaped fish swim slowly and leisurely in it. The dark blue has gradually turned into pitch black, and the sunlight coming from above cannot extend deeper. However, this place is not completely boundless darkness.
From time to time, you can see luminous scaleless fish and crab-shaped sea monsters that look like holding two colorful lanterns. They make the deep sea dim and mysterious, mysterious and eerie.
After Lucien and Natasha left Doris, they followed a strange ocean current that was completely different from other ones and dived into the depths of the ocean. They saw this wonderful scenery that was different from the shallow sea, and felt the increasing pressure of the surrounding water.
As it grows bigger, it seems like it will crush itself to pieces.
As a result, there were layers of slightly rippling light around Lucien, blocking out the sea water and pressure, making him seem to be in another world.
And there seemed to be small and ferocious sword lights wandering around Natasha, cutting off a "territory" under her control, and exchanging necessary things with the surrounding sea water.
After diving another hundred meters, Lucien suddenly stopped and said through his mind connection: "I want to measure all the environmental parameters here. You look around."
Natasha nodded slightly, raised a silver-grey sword without patterns, and all nearby fluctuations and swaying stopped.
At this depth, there are no longer those strange sea creatures that can emit their own light. The surroundings are pitch black, without any light or sound.
In such an environment, any intelligent life with a normal mind will have inexplicable fear, as if there are sea monsters lurking in the dark water that brings huge pressure, watching them indifferently, waiting for opportunities, and may swim at any time.
come over.
"Aren't you rushing to the Blue Gate?" Natasha saw that Lucien was still conducting experiments at this time, and she was very puzzled. "Whether it is really related to the weirdness in the depths of the endless ocean, at least
It's the most important clue so far."
Lucien threw out the "experiment cabin" and turned it into a complete laboratory. Then a layer of faint silvery white light enveloped it to prevent it from being corroded by sea water.
"For me, collecting these environmental parameters is as important as exploring the Blue Gate, maybe even more important. In arcane research, a large amount of comparative data is the key to solving the mystery." Lucien answered casually.
, his eyes shifted to the "Experimental Cabin", and his expression quickly became focused.
Natasha didn't ask any more questions. After all, this was not her area of expertise. At this time, trusting authority and "expert professors" was the only option.
She holds the "Sword of Truth" and swims nearby like a mermaid to prevent sudden attacks by deep sea monsters. Although she is an epic knight with a strong will and keen intuition, in this deep sea where the water pressure is terrifying and the light disappears, all kinds of environmental problems are encountered.
The feeling will be reduced a lot, and omissions will occur if you are careless - even if Lucien blessed her with spells such as "Alien Protection Bubble", it can only be equivalent to land within a certain range and cannot extend further.
at.
In the quiet deep sea, Lucien concentrated on doing experiments. Occasionally, a sea monster that sensed the intrusion of strangers would attack with tentacles or pliers, but all of them slipped away silently under Natasha's "watching".
He left, and a few guys who were overwhelmed by the desire to kill turned into countless tiny pieces of meat after a silvery light, making other weak fish nearby cheaper.
In this way, Lucien was following the strange ocean currents that penetrated deep into the seabed, while constantly stopping to conduct experiments and collect data.
Gulu, Gulu, Natasha, who was guarding next to Lucien, suddenly noticed a slight movement. It seemed that many creatures were coming along another ocean current.
Monsters with fish heads and human bodies covered in silver-gray scales were carrying elves with dark blue skin and pointed ears as they moved rapidly through the ocean currents. With their strength, they could not withstand the pressure of the deep sea, but the team had the skills to hold them.
Priests of the Rod, they work together to create a huge bubble and transfer the pressure onto it.
"I wonder when we will arrive at the Blue Gate?" A Kuo-Toa warrior asked the priest next to him impatiently.
As a miraculous place widely spread among the sea people, the "Blue Gate" has been praised by generations of Kuo-Tao fishmen, Gips fishmen, sea elves, deep-sea dragons, mutant seahorses, etc. It is what they have longed for.
Dream home, so when they heard that they could go to the "Blue Gate" that had never been confirmed, these sea people would be so excited that they could not restrain themselves.
The priest next to him could not hide his excitement: "According to Her Royal Highness Doris's description, it will probably take half a day to go."
The Kuo Tao fishman who asked the question stared with a pair of glowing dead fish eyes, and severely hit the sea elf captive he was carrying with him with his trident: "Swim quickly!"
The sea elf stared at the kuo-toa man with eyes that were so angry that they were about to spit out fire, as if they wanted to fight it desperately.
"What are you looking at? You are prisoners now, be careful I will eat you now!" The diet of the Kuo Tao fishmen undoubtedly contains sea elves.
The female sea elf's voice was clear but angrily: "Her Majesty the Queen will come to save us!"
"Hmph, if your Majesty the Queen could have saved you, she would have done so right then and there. Although she relied on her dirty plot to block her Majesty, she still had no energy left to save you!" When the Kuo Tao fishman thought of that almost victory,
I was very upset during the battle, how could the Elf Queen become so powerful?! The female Sea Elf's eyes dimmed, and she comforted herself: "The Queen wants to use you to find the Blue Gate, so she doesn't save her for the time being.
, maybe she is following you now!"
During this period of time, she heard these damn fishmen discussing the "Blue Gate" every day, and she was extremely curious. If she hadn't gone there as a prisoner, she would have been very excited.
"Hahaha, do you believe what you said? How could she know that we are coming to the Blue Gate!" The Kuo Tao fish-man dashed the sea elf's slim hope and reminded her of her possible tragic experience.
Will the big bad guy Helkes be used as material to open the "Blue Gate"?
In her despair, a silvery white light suddenly appeared in the dark water ahead. It was bright and pure, and it was like a "Heaven Mountain" descending on the dark seabed thousands of meters deep.
"That's..." The sea elf was shaken in her heart and looked there with a somewhat blank expression. She could vaguely see a metal house in the light?
Hey, a metal house?
There are metal houses in the dark depths of the ocean?
A strong hope suddenly surged in her heart. Could she be Helkes' enemy?
At this time, her wide-open eyes suddenly reflected a tiny silver-gray sword light. It quickly grew from small to large, occupying the entire field of vision.
This female sea elf felt that there were countless rays of sword light that cut everything apart, filling her surroundings. However, there was only that indifferent and cold vast light in her sight. The bubbles burst. One by one, the Kuo Tao fishmen, the mutated Heim and various
The Zhonghai clan is broken.
When the sword light disappeared, the female sea elf found that except for herself, the captives and a priest, the other sea people had all turned into tiny flesh and blood, and the ferocious illusory sword lights were still wandering above.
"Are you okay?" A pleasant female voice with a hint of care and majesty sounded in the ears of these sea elves.
The female elf came back to her senses from the shock and saw a heroic purple-haired female knight floating in front of her, with a smiling expression and gentle eyes. For some reason, her heart suddenly felt warm. The grievances she had suffered during this period were endless.
Despair surged up and he choked with sobs: "Are you here to save us?"
She felt the female knight's left hand that was not holding the sword touch her head, and her tears flowed more freely. If she had not had any scruples, she would have thrown herself into his arms and cried bitterly.
"I am Natasha from the Kingdom of Holm, an ally of the Elven Court, and I happened to meet you." Natasha simply revealed her identity, "Can you tell me about your experience?"
"That day, the big bad guy Helkes raided the sea area we control..." The female sea elf sobbed and told the story exactly.
After Natasha listened, she said to Lucien through the spiritual connection: "It's basically the same as what Doris said. But there are a lot of details. It can be seen that Helkes was really seriously injured. Maybe he brought the captive to
'The Blue Gate is for quick recovery?"
Lucien received Natasha's reminder when the group of Kuo-Toa fishmen approached. Not because they were dangerous, but because they might have important information. At this time, he blessed the captured sea elves with "protection from another world."
He nodded slightly and said, "If you don't rule out this possibility, ask the priest again."
Only now did the female sea elf discover that there was a man in the sea far away. His black double-breasted gown, set off by the darkness and silvery light of the deep sea, gave off a mysterious and gloomy feeling, and his handsome and gentle face
The face looked extremely familiar.
"E, Master Evans?" The female sea elf suddenly remembered who the other party was. She didn't know much about things on the shore. But as a music-loving elf, how could she not have heard of Lucien Evans' name?
I have never seen his portrait.
"The Grand Arcanist of the Magic Council..." She relaxed completely. She was really saved this time, so she cried even harder.
After asking the priests, Lucien said to these sea elves: "We will go to the Blue Gate to see if possible, and rescue your people."
These sea elves were about to express their gratitude with joy when they heard Lucien say: "But before that, I hope you will forget us."
"What?" These sea elves raised their heads and felt that Mr. Evans suddenly came in front of them, allowing them to clearly see his eyes, which were as deep and calm as the deep sea...···
The sea elves left in confusion. Lucien said to Natasha: "I have almost collected the data. 'The Blue Gate is not far from here. Let's sneak over and take a look."
"Well, be careful." Although Natasha is a charging knight, she is still very cautious before fighting.
The two of them gradually went deeper and seemed to be getting closer and closer to the bottom of the sea. Suddenly, a strange and huge hole appeared in front of them. There was not a drop of sea water within hundreds of kilometers.
With a faint blue door in the distance as the center of the circle, the surrounding seawater seems to have been drained, and the seawater next to it is inaccessible. Only strange rocks and loose sand prove that this is the bottom of the sea.
"I also plan to turn into a deep-sea fish and dive in for reconnaissance. It seems I have to find another way." Lucien's expression became a little solemn.
