Chapter 333: The Location Is Clear, It’s Time to Take Action
On the morning of September 29, the eleventh game cycle, the Endless Sea World.
The sun has risen high in the sky, emitting bright autumn sunlight.
The sunlight shines through the volcanic ash floating in the air and into the outer city of Fengxi City where countless extraordinary people gather.
Because of the invitation of Governor Ponros Fell, the weavers of the Violet Eye, the hidden people of the Black and White Court, the extraordinary people of the Ring of the Earth, and the light praying people of the Purple Gold Flower Church, they are all gathered in the outer city square at this moment.
At this moment, with the statue of the Seven Gods in the center of the square as the center of the circle, each force occupies one side.
"This is the first time I have seen so many hidden people."
In the crowded square where many extraordinary people gathered, Benjamin, the third-level third-class Holy Judge of the Ring of the Earth, said to his companions.
Following the direction of his sight, there are two teams of people wearing plain light leather armor and hooded people, who are the hidden people of the Black and White Court.
In the rather chaotic square, their team is neat and disciplined.
Except for the wood elf Morning Star who was responsible for connecting with other forces, the hidden people all lowered their heads and walked silently under the shade of the trees.
No one whispered to each other, let alone was attracted by the magnificent scenery of the square.
For the hidden people of the Black and White Courtyard, even in the impression of the extraordinary people, they are too mysterious.
The hidden people of the Black and White Courtyard rarely appear in public outside the Glorious Island, and rarely participate in worldly affairs.
However, whenever something big happens in the Endless Sea, there are always rumors that the hidden people of the Black and White Courtyard are behind the incident and are fueling it.
The rumors are true and false, but over time, outsiders' impression of the hidden people of the Black and White Courtyard is always equated with mystery and power.
Now, suddenly so many hidden people of the Black and White Courtyard appeared publicly, even if they were silent and low-key, choosing to stand in the shadows of the trees with backlight, they instantly attracted everyone's attention.
But at this moment, a hurricane suddenly blew above the square, and along with the hurricane, a shadow instantly covered everyone's head.
The sudden change made everyone in the square look up. At this time, they saw a huge griffin flapping its wings and circling above the square.
The griffin had an eagle head and a lion body. It had an eagle-like head, wings, and a sharp beak.
But its body was like a lion, with a thick tail and strong and muscular limbs.
Its front half and wings had golden feathers, while its back half was golden brown fur.
As the griffin's giant wings flapped, hurricanes blew over the square, and even the volcanic ash in the air nearby seemed to be blown away.
"Griffin? Did Violet Eye bring it with you?"
Griffins are extraordinary creatures in the Endless Sea. They can fly, have a certain amount of wisdom, and have strong combat power.
However, the number of such creatures in the Endless Sea is already very rare, and the known ones have all been tamed by Violet Eye.
As the griffin circled over the square, everyone's eyes were attracted by the griffin again, and they all wanted to take a look at this very rare extraordinary creature.
At this moment, the Violet Eye Chief Merlin, who had already reached the square and was dressed like the Pope, raised his arm in luxurious clothes and waved to the sky.
The griffin finally stopped circling when he saw his master calling him. It waved and folded its wings and landed obediently beside the chief.
So, those low-level extraordinary people who gathered in the square with less experience finally saw the true size of the extraordinary creature griffin with their own eyes.
Just as huge as it was in the sky, even if it folded its wings and landed on the ground, the griffin was as big as three or four adult elephants.
The wings that can fly, the sharp beak, the strong and powerful muscles all over the body, and the huge body all make the griffin look very powerful and have good combat power.
But at this moment, the griffin that attracted everyone's attention was parked next to the Violet Eye Chief Merlin. It lowered its head and waited for the chief's caress like a small pet.
Among the four forces, the weavers had the largest number of people, the largest ceremonial procession, and the largest number of high-level extraordinary people because of the presence of the chief of the Violet Eye.
At this moment, the wealthy and ostentatious weavers had cleared a piece of open space in the square facing the sun.
They took down the canopy inlaid with gems, gilded chairs, red velvet cushions with tassels, footstools made of precious wood, food on exquisitely carved trays, and precious incense burners with fragrant aroma from the broad back of the griffin.
Soon, the weaver apprentices built a comfortable rest area similar to a grandstand in that open space.
In this area filled with luxurious items, the chief dressed like the Pope sat in the main seat, and the ten accompanying great wizards sat on both sides.
At this moment, the air in the outer city was still filled with volcanic ash, but even if the visibility was not high, the area occupied by the Violet Eye still flashed with the light of various gold, silver and jewelry.
The degree of extravagance is really jaw-dropping.
"The Violet Eye is still so exaggerated, making me want to be a Weaver."
On the other side of the square, the Holy Judge Benjamin complained to his companions.
"You are only a third-level third-class Weaver, but the Chief is a fourth-level ninth-class strongman."
A female voice sounded, it was Candice who was also in the Ring of Earth. She glanced at Benjamin and continued:
"The Chief is the highest-ranking extraordinary person in the Endless Sea at present. It is understandable that he enjoys such treatment.
If one day you are promoted to the fourth-level ninth-class Holy Judge, let alone anything else, just say it is a reward from the king, um——"
Candice squinted her eyes and smiled:
"I want to say it in advance and don't forget our old friends."
"Uh-hehehe."
Thinking about the day when the volcano collapsed and the chief used a magic barrier to protect everyone from evacuating, Benjamin's face turned red, he scratched his head in embarrassment, and looked at the kestrel:
"I have too many distracting thoughts, and I probably won't be able to reach that level in this life. My success depends on our boss.
Boss, don’t forget your old subordinates when the time comes! "
Listening to his subordinate's words, Kestrel shook his head helplessly:
"Violet Eyes' industry in the secular world is very profitable. Whether it's status or financial resources, it's very suitable for them to use this kind of pomp."
"really."
Benjamin nodded. Extraordinary people always speak with their strength. Once the strength is enough, no matter how exaggerated it is, it is normal.
"Hey, look at the Black and White Courtyard. There are a lot of people here, but they are so low-key."
Benjamin suddenly remembered something and looked towards the backlit side of the square as he spoke.
In the shadow cast by a row of dense trees, the hidden people in the Black and White Courtyard stood there silently, as if they had melted into the shadow.
"Isn't it because the dean of the Black and White Academy is not here?"
After listening to Benjamin's words, Candice teased in a low voice and exaggeratedly:
"If the dean comes in person, half of the sun will be covered with you."
Benjamin laughed when he heard this and looked at the sun in the sky, but he didn't feel anything was wrong.
In the world of extraordinary beings, no matter how large the formations used by these extraordinary powerful men with absolute strength are, no one is surprised.
Not in the mood to listen to the complaints from his subordinates behind him, Kestrel observed the current situation in the square.
The Violet Eye, the Black and White Courtyard, the Ring of the Earth and the Purple Flower Church.
Not to mention the Purple Flower Church, the main organization of the Prayer of Light is not here. They have the smallest number and the weakest strength. Their appearance this time is more like dealing with official duties.
As for the Black and White Academy, they are very low-key, but also too mysterious.
Morning Star is the only one who connects the Black and White Institute with other organizations. Kestrel knows that Morning Star is a third-level hider, but there should be stronger ones among those hiding in the shadows of the trees.
However, judging from Chenxing's diplomatic attitude of taking the initiative to visit the chief, it seems that none of the hidden people on their trip can reach the level of the chief.
As for himself, although the Ring of the Earth belongs to the king, he is only a fourth-level Holy Inquisitor.
So as far as this square is concerned, regardless of strength or influence, Violet Eyes is absolutely respected.
With concerns about the governor's invitation in his heart, Kestrel said a few words to his subordinates and also went to visit Merlin, the chief of the Violet Eyes.
Kestrel did this for no reason. He knew that Governor Fell had been acting strangely recently.
Mathas, the felon wanted by the empire, is suspected to be in Wind's Breath City, not to mention the volcano that inexplicably appeared and collapsed, and the lava lord's foul breath appeared on the volcano.
Kestrel was afraid that something might happen here, that Governor Penros Fair might have planned some conspiracy...
Of course, Kestrel still doesn't dare to be so suspicious at this moment, but vaguely, he wants to unite several forces to be just in case of unexpected events.
Among these forces, Merlin, the chief of Violet Eyes, is naturally the top priority of the alliance.
After thinking about his words, Kestrel went to the area where the Violet Eye was to visit the chief.
Different from the imposing manner shown on the outside, Chief Merlin, who pays attention to keeping his face clean and whose age cannot be seen, is actually very approachable.
"I know what you mean by coming here, so I won't beat around the bush."
Merlin, the chief of Violet Eyes, said to Kestrel and Morning Star:
"In this square, I can sense the dirty power of the Lava Lord. Although it is very rare, my perception is not wrong."
Merlin is a fourth-level and ninth-level spell weaver. In the Endless Sea, apart from Li Feng who was promoted to the fifth level through special channels, Governor Fell and Mathas, he is the group of people with the highest strength.
Compared to the third-level Morning Star and the fourth-level Kestrel, Chief Merlin's perception of various forces in space is naturally much more acute and powerful.
"What do you mean, Lord Chief, the Lava Lord has been to this square before? Or... right here?"
Kestrel carefully examined his surroundings and only caught a trace of the power that made him uncomfortable. If Chief Merlin hadn't mentioned it just now, he would never have noticed it.
Kestrel once again realized the power gap and knew that this was not the time to feel lost. He immediately collected his emotions and asked about business.
And the answer he got was Chief Merlin's affirmation:
"So I'm very worried, I just don't know..."
Merlin stopped talking and did not continue.
He wanted to say that he didn't know what the Governor meant by asking us to gather here, but what he just said made it clear. Even if he didn't say it out loud, the other two people would definitely understand what he meant now.
"But when will Governor Fair come?"
The wood elf Morningstar moved her pointed and long ears as she spoke.
She was not as good as the Chief or the Kestrel. Morning Star was only at the third level. She couldn't sense even a trace of dirty power, but she believed in the Chief's judgment.
Looking towards the direction of Storm's End, the iconic building of Storm Island, the two huge dragon heads stacked on the spikes were still eye-catching, but the dragon-slaying governor was nowhere to be seen.
An uneasy silence spread between Kestrel Morningstar, Chief Merlin, and the Archmage who accompanied him.
After a long time, Kestrel spoke:
"It's up to the Chief to make the final decision on today's matters."
Kestrel said it cryptically, but the meaning was clear.
If something unexpected happens today, the extraordinary people of the White Maple Manor of the Ring of Earth will obey and rely on Chief Merlin.
When Hong Kushal said this, Morning Star blinked and followed closely:
"Yes, I'll trouble you, Chief."
Obviously, the Black and White Court represented by Morning Star also meant this.
"The Lava Lord is a very evil creature. If he invades the world, I will definitely not ignore it."
Understanding what they meant, Chief Merlin replied very responsibly.
At this moment, there was a noise on the road leading to the square, attracting the three people to look.
Through the gray volcanic ash and the yellowing leaves in autumn, everyone saw a team of knights in armor riding horses.
The leader was Lannis, the Knight Commander of Storm's End, and behind Lannis were other high-level extraordinary people of Storm's End who were also riding horses, as well as the ministers.
And behind them, there were densely packed Storm's End soldiers lined up in a square formation.
Although he did not see Governor Fell, Hong Falcon was somewhat relieved to see the arrival of the Knight Minister of Wind's Rest Castle.
He had just imagined that Governor Fell would lead them to the square and then let the Lava Lord kill them.
But now that the Governor's men have also entered the square, at least that situation will not happen easily.
The volcanic ash that has been difficult to completely eliminate for a long time is still in the air.
They have soiled houses, trees, flowers, plants and leaves, and often disturb people's sight.
In the outer city of Wind's Rest, on the roof of a two-story building around the square, Li Feng watched the Knight Minister of Wind's Rest Castle who had just entered the square.
'Something must have happened to change the original cooperative relationship between the Governor and Cocoon. '
Li Feng, who knew more about the truth, knew that the Governor and Marsas were helping the Lava Lord Cocoon wake up.
And the real hiding place of Cocoon was in the outer city square.
Originally, Li Feng thought that the Governor had let the three major forces gather in the square to sacrifice them to Cocoon.
But at this time, the governor's own people also entered the square. If the cocoon wakes up and starts killing people, the governor's people will not be spared.
'The governor will definitely not casually sacrifice his own troops, so...'
For the time being, I still can't figure out the intentions of the governor and Marsas, but Li Feng is too lazy to think about it.
Because at this moment, the sudden arrival of many extraordinary people has caused the cocoon, who has not yet awakened, to move.
On the tracker obtained from the stowaway x, the white dot representing the cocoon is becoming more and more accurate and brighter.
At the same time, Delana told Li Feng that the mermaids have arrived. They are now in the sea near the coast and can be dispatched at any time.
"Yeah."
Li Feng nodded, knowing that it was time to take action.
Finally, after confirming the position of the white dot on the tracker, Li Feng found with a smile that the lava lord cocoon was probably hidden in the statue of the seven gods made of sea crystal.
'No wonder Xia said at that time that she had never seen such a large sea crystal. It turns out that the door is here. ’
Moreover, using the extraordinary mineral of sea crystal to seal the cocoon is indeed helpful in shielding his filthy power.
As for now, since the location of the cocoon has been determined, and there are so many extraordinary people in the square, no matter what the governor wants to do, Li Feng intends to give those people some hints first.
But this hint must not be given in words, because verbal hints are irrelevant, easy to argue, and extremely inefficient.
Li Feng judged that since the cocoon has not yet fully awakened, even if it is exposed, the cocoon cannot attack with all its strength.
Li Feng raised the flint, through the dense leaves and the volcanic ash floating in the air, and aimed the muzzle at the Seven Gods.
