Chapter 720 The Girl's Journey

After paying a high fee to board a large sailing ship bound for the Napoles Islands from the west coast of the Federation, the girl's journey of pursuit officially began.

There are many dangers in the journey. On the evening of the third day after entering the depths of the Endless Sea, when the ship passed the Dark Cape, a rare huge tropical storm swept the night sky.

When the ship struggled forward in the stormy waves, at the most violent moment of the storm, some unknown terrifying existence emerged from the deep sea and cruised under the ship.

At that time, the crew members, including the sixth-level guardian, were so scared that their legs were weak, and they had even begun to prepare a drift bottle suicide note for themselves.

Fortunately, the unknown existence in the sea below did not do anything to the ship. It simply swam with the ship for a while, and then dived back into the deep sea.

Listening to the girl's story, Anvis seemed to see the surging waves like dark peaks, the huge sea monster casting a deep shadow longer than the ship on the sea, and the fear and despair on the faces of the crew and passengers.

And the indescribable sense of relief and emotion when I saw the twin spires of the Temple of Glory emitting warm orange light in the night sky after struggling to hold on until the storm was about to end.

"At that time, after arriving at the Naples Islands, I joined a small expedition team on the main island to catch silver tuna, preparing to go deep into the lightless sea on the northwest side of the islands to find the whereabouts of the city of origin [Yaina]."

Claire gently hugged her knees and leaned against a gray-white rock, with a look of nostalgia in her eyes.

"According to my investigation, Yaina was originally built on the Yar continent.

However, due to an unknown incident that occurred later, the entire city of Yaina, along with part of the continent, split from the main plate of the Yar continent and fell into the depths of the Sea of ​​No Light.

I separated from them halfway and went deep into the Sea of ​​No Light alone. According to the information of the relic sea chart in my memory, I arrived at the Forgotten Sea marked on the map.

There, in the sinking fog that appears every six months, the ghost current phenomenon will appear.

It is a strange ocean current that gathers a large number of dead souls of marine creatures. The gray-white soul light is like the Styx flowing through the world.

If the living touch it, they will be quickly eroded by it and eventually become part of the soul of the ocean current."

"Following the guidance of the ghost current, I drove out of the fog area and then went deep into a terrifying hurricane belt.

There is a strange ocean current in the sky. The heavy dark red thunderstorm clouds that almost pressed down on my head, waterspouts that connected the sky and the earth and the distorted unstable areas of space were everywhere. Only a small area where the ghost current flowed was relatively calm.

As my ship continued to follow the gray-white ocean current to go deeper inward, some black and strange basalt columns protruding from the sea surface gradually appeared in the sea ahead. As I sailed for a long time, the height of those stone columns became higher and higher.

Until finally, a large number of huge basalt columns protruding hundreds of meters above the sea surface intersected to form a structure like an arch. Through the huge arch, I finally saw the lost continent.

The sky there is always shrouded in dim fog, the beach is an endless dead black desert, the air is extremely cold, and no life can be seen, just like the legendary underworld. "

At this point, Claire suddenly tilted her head and tapped her forehead with her scallion-white fingers.

"Well... Speaking of which, in that forgotten land, I also saw a lot of strange ancient civilization relics left by non-human species. I remember you were looking for clues to powerful ancient existences. If you can go there to investigate, you should be able to gain something, right?"

"Indeed, I should go there to explore once in the future."

Listening to Claire's words, Avis nodded generously. Even if he didn't know about these relics, for the sake of the inheritance of the civilization of the stars, he would definitely go there once in the future.

As the two talked, the group of nightmare ravens in the sky was getting closer and closer. Even though the vision of the nightmare ravens during the day was average, it was enough to see the two people on the ground.

"Quack--"

Accompanied by a shrill and hoarse cry, the ravens flying in the front swooped down without hesitation, ready to attack the two, and the crows behind were also ready to go.

However, before they approached the attack distance, an astonishingly huge magical fluctuation suddenly erupted from a small dot-like figure below!

"Quack! Quack! Quack--"

Feeling this oppressive feeling as if facing a deadly natural disaster, the Nightmare Ravens, which had been so aggressive before, suddenly panicked. They screamed and flapped their wings desperately to turn around, and a lot of black feathers fell in panic.

As the crows fled in panic, the ring on Avis's finger dimmed again.

"Your style hasn't changed, Avis."

Looking at this scene, Claire couldn't help but twitch her lips. No matter when, she felt helpless and admired Avis's fighting style that relied purely on equipment to crush.

After all, all battles can be crushed by equipment, which is also a manifestation of hard power.

"There's nothing I can do. Unlike you, my senior sister, who can explore the lost continent alone, my strength is still very weak, and I don't like meaningless battles. Only the gold coins at home are a little more."

Avis spread his hands and lay comfortably beside the girl.

"By the way, Senior Claire, as a reward for helping me find the information about those ruins, what equipment and funds do you need? Please give me a list."

"No, there is no need for payment. We are companions, and this level of mutual help is what we should."

Claire shook her head and spoke softly.

"Is it really possible? Such 'simple' equipment?"

Hearing this, Anvis turned his head and looked at Claire slightly. The subtle meaning in her gaze made the half-elf girl purse her lips immediately, and veins appeared faintly on her forehead.

What is simplicity? !

"...Anvis, has anyone ever said that you are annoying?"

"No, they only said I was charming!"

"..."

After looking at each other wordlessly for a moment, the two laughed again.

"Gee, Anvis, you are still so narcissistic..."

With a smile in her blue eyes, Claire shook her head helplessly and her tone became serious again.

"However, I do have one thing that I would like your help with."

"What's the matter? As long as I can do it, of course it's no problem!"

Hearing the girl's tone, Anvis also became slightly serious.

"Anvis, actually, I hope to use your power to help me find the 'key' to the City of Origin."

Claire explained.

“During this journey, although I arrived at the lost continent, I was not able to truly enter the city of origin.

Following the clues in my memory, I managed to cross the cold, vast, dead black desert, and found the entrance to the City of Origin in the huge mountains at the end of the desert that seemed like the edge of the world.

But I couldn't get through there without the 'key'. "

"Key? Is this it?"

After listening to Claire's description, Anvis thought for a while, took out the restored astral stone disk from the ring and handed it to the girl.

"Its power seems a bit familiar to me. It should be related to the star civilization, but I don't think it is the key to that door."

After taking the stone plate, Claire examined it carefully and then shook her head.

"The power of that door is very special. It is a strange power essence like an endless and vast world. Once you have come into contact with it, you will never admit it."

As she spoke, the girl gently held Anvis's hand and synchronized her perceptions at the time.
