We Agreed To Set Sail and Become the Ruler of the Deep Sea? - Chapter 165

Chapter 165 Another [Diamond Star]? !

The appearance of this temple is magnificent.

The towering gate is at least twenty or thirty meters long, and the walls are extremely smooth, with no gaps in the masonry visible.

 High up, green emeralds and blue crystals are inlaid there, and together with various carved patterns, they form complex decorations.

Just looking at this hall, a strong sense of history comes over me.

“…here it is?”

Shaan couldn’t help but ask.

Tracey looked up at the main hall, a look of reminiscence and nostalgia appeared on her face.

“This was once the temple of the elves. Many elves would pray to the Mother Goddess here, some for newlyweds and some for newly born babies.”

 “But now…”

 “I think…I probably can’t do it.”

  【Ship Soul Power -2! 】

 Speaking of this, the goblin’s eyes dimmed a little.

At this time, when outsiders touched the seal, it naturally launched a counterattack.

After saying these words, Xia En swam to the side of the Elf Temple, stretched out his hand, and touched the eternal ice.

Only when Xia En goes further on the secret path and enters a deeper level can this seal be unlocked.

 This is a gap between levels of secret power.

Just when the goblin was feeling sad, Xia En said: “Although I can’t break the seal, I know that there is someone who may be able to do it.”

Hearing this, Tracy’s eyes suddenly lit up: “Do you know such a person?”

Seeing the ice crystals quickly spread from his palms to his whole body, Xia En immediately activated the magic patterns on his body, and the scorching secret power emerged to fight against the ice crystals.

The chill was so terrible that a layer of ice crystal white frost quickly appeared on his body, as if it was freezing him here.

Xia En said calmly: “However, I can give it a try first.”

“Sure enough, aren’t you the one I’m waiting for?”

“Yes, but I’m not sure he can melt in this layer of ice.”

—This is also one of the reasons why the water temperature in this sea area has dropped again.

 In fact, the candidate he had in mind was none other than Yan Yan, who was wrapped in flames.

 After a brief attempt, Shane quickly let go of his hand and swam back to Tracy.

In order not to let Tracy expect too much, Shane could only speak vaguely.

However, it was quite difficult for Xia En to just keep himself from being frozen, and there was no way he could melt this layer of ice.

With Xia En’s current [Secret Power of Ember], even if he could melt this layer of ice, it would still take an unusually long time.

 Don’t talk too much, and even if you fail in the end, you won’t let others down too much.

 This is by no means an ordinary ice layer, but a special seal!

 She looked at Xia En, her eyes full of hope.

 A chill that penetrated into the bone marrow poured into Xia En’s body.

“…real?”

Over the long years, this mission has become a burden and a shackles that Tracey cannot escape.

 Furthermore, when it comes to things that are uncertain, Xia En doesn’t like to give people hope first and then despair.

 The flame that never goes out;

 The ice that never melts…

 It presents an extremely solid and solid texture, like the state of ice and snow that has been compressed thousands of times its volume.

next moment.

“The mission entrusted to me by Her Majesty the Queen is to wait for someone who can melt the ice on the surface of this temple.”

  【Ship Soul Power -3! 】

Seeing this, Tracy sighed and murmured.

But soon, Tracy cheered up and said to Shane.

Many tiny ice crystals are arranged and combined in a special way to form an extremely solid cage.

“can you do it?”

On the other hand, if it succeeds in the end, Tracey will be pleasantly surprised.

The being who originally set up this “extreme cold seal” is far superior to Xia En at this stage in terms of strength and control over the secret power!

From his observation just now, the ice outside this elven temple is completely different from the ice in other places.

His complexion changed slightly as soon as he touched the ice.

That cold secret power is even continuing to spread outwards.

This sounds like the relationship between keys and door locks.

Thinking further, is it really just a coincidence that Yan Yan appears on the Ice and Snow Island not far from the [Emerald Holy City]?

 Is it possible that he is the back-up man left behind by the Elf Queen?

However, this is just Xia En’s guess after all and needs further verification.

 Confirmed the next goals.

Xia En did not waste this opportunity to dive, leaving the city below and heading to the [Emerald Ancient City] buried in volcanic ash.

There, there are countless [Ember Humanoids] waiting for relief.

By the way, Xia En also briefly searched the city.

This city is worthy of being the birthplace of magic pattern technology. There are a large number of creations painted with magic patterns in the houses.

  And involves all aspects of life.

Practicality aside, for some scholars and archaeologists, it presumably has high research value.

 …

 …

  【Submarine is over! 】

　　【Please choose your trophy! 】

  【1.Broken magic pattern spear】

  【2.Gold-plated magic pattern dinner plate】

  【3. Ice silk magic pattern stockings】

“…Um?”

 Xia En was stunned for a moment when he saw these three options.

He really just searched a few rooms at random, how could he still find something like this?

 After a brief hesitation, Xia En still followed his heart and chose option 3.

 Not for any other reason.

Just out of curiosity, what would be the effect of the magic pattern attached to the ice silk stockings?

Soon, a pair of wet white silk stockings appeared in Xia En’s hands.

 There are fine, lace-like strange magic patterns on it.

With the stimulation of the magic pattern, the white stockings became visibly clean and dry, and the previous faint odor also dissipated.

“Is it a magic pattern similar to the cleansing technique?”

 Xia En was thoughtful.

 A bit ashamed to say, he inexplicably remembered the situation when these silk stockings were worn on Joey, so by some strange coincidence, he did not throw them away, but put them into the space ring.

 Subsequently, Shane came to the deck, gathered the crew, and then spoke.

“We have to go back to [Ice and Snow Island] first.”

 “Everyone, cheer up and get ready, there may be a tough battle next!”

“Since the village chief Ruel dared to plot against us, he must pay the price for it!”

 Due to Sean’s growing prestige, the crew members responded without any objection.

 “Yes, Captain!”

 …

 …

at the same time.

Above the seemingly quiet and cold sea.

 A huge but dilapidated three-masted sailboat is hiding behind an iceberg.

This ship is several times larger than the Black Swan. The towering sides of the ship are like towering mountains, and the masts reach into the sky.

Facing it is like facing a mountain that is difficult to climb!

However, this large and majestic ship now appears dilapidated and far from the elegance of its heyday.

 Its surface is scarred. The ship’s hull is covered with large and small cracks, and the frightening gaps left behind after something directly “gnawed” a piece off can be seen everywhere on the ship’s side.

There is also a horrific “wound” that extends directly from the bow to the stern, almost splitting the entire ship in two.

 And the broken masts and sails could only barely play their role and move forward in accordance with the sea breeze.

  It can be said that the fact that this sailing ship can still sail on the sea is a miracle in itself!

On the broken deck, Ruel, the village chief of the Ice Island Village, acted as the captain, commanding the villagers to move in an orderly manner.

 “Lower the sail a little further, yes, at this height!”

 “Are the ship’s guns ready?”

“Lookout hand, please report to me any situation!”

Beside Ruhl, Gray still had some worry on his face and asked.

“Old man, do we really want to attack that [Black Swan]?”

“Just this broken ship?”

 Ruer glanced at him with a vulture-like gaze: “How do I usually teach you?”

“Either you don’t do something, or you never do it!”

“Since we have all deceived the ship into the sea area where [Emerald Ancient City] is located, the plan has been half successful.”

“Besides, don’t underestimate this ship.”

 Ruhr looked at the mast beside him and said with emotion.

“Ever since my grandfather’s time, this ship has looked like it could capsize at any time, but to this day, it can still sail smoothly on the sea.”

“The only problem is that it cannot carry out a long-distance voyage, otherwise we would not have to seize the [Black Swan].”

Gray also had a flash of surprise in his eyes.

 In fact, this big ship is the secret weapon of their village. It is rarely used on weekdays, and even he has only seen it a few times.

Ruhl continued.

“According to my grandfather, in a more distant era, this ship was built to avoid the disaster of the great flood, and it was also called Noah’s Ark.”

Hearing this, Gray’s face was even more shocked and he asked.

“Speaking of which, I still don’t know the name of this ship?”

 “It’s called…[Diamond Star]!”

Just when Ruel was introducing the origin of this big ship to Gray, the lookout on the mast suddenly exclaimed.

“There is a ship approaching from the northeast!”

“coming!”

Hearing this, Ruhr immediately looked to the northeast, a cruel cold light flashing in his eyes.

 But when he saw the ship on the sea clearly, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

 There is no other reason.

 This does not seem to be the [Black Swan] he saw before!

The ship is significantly larger and has higher sides.

Silver white and ice blue lines are looming on the surface of the hull, and the dots of starlight complement them. On the dark hull, it looks like a river of stars flowing in the night sky!

Moreover, there are strange structures that resemble skeletons in some areas of the hull.

For example, the collision angle of the ship’s bow, the place where the sides of the ship’s side meet the deck.

This pale skeleton does not look like an inlaid decoration, but like an existence growing from the depths of the ship’s hull!

 A faint coercion escaped from the hull, causing the creatures in the sea to tremble and instinctively stay away from the ship.

Looking at this scene, village chief Ruel’s eyelids couldn’t help but twitch.

 “What the **** is this [Black Swan]!?”

He really couldn’t understand how this ship had undergone such a transformation after not seeing it for two or three days.

Normally speaking, shouldn’t this ship become in tatters when it is besieged by the magic-patterned sea beasts in [Emerald Ancient City]?

 No matter how bad it is, it should leave a few scars, right?

 “Old man! That ship…”

Gray quickly noticed the [Black Swan] at this time, couldn’t help but swallowed his saliva, and asked difficultly.

“Now how to do?”

To be honest, Ruhr panicked in his heart.

 After all, this situation is really weird. How can a ship grow in size after just one trip to sea?

He originally wanted to use the sea beasts of the [Emerald Ancient City] to weaken the combat power of the [Black Swan].

 But now, instead of weakening, the opponent has become stronger!

So this naval battle should be fought or not?

 Ruhr, who has always been scheming, suddenly felt like he was riding a tiger with a hard time getting off.

However, just when the villagers of Ice and Snow Island were wondering what to do, the [Black Swan] not far away had noticed this huge ship.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　——

Amidst the high-pitched whistle, the [Black Swan] became faster and faster, breaking through the waves and cutting through the air, like a giant beast from the deep sea, rushing towards Ruhr and the others.

 “It found us!”

 “It hit!!”

These indigenous villagers living on the Ice and Snow Island had never seen such a shocking sight. Their faces changed and they exclaimed in shock.

Gray also turned pale and quickly turned his attention to his father.

As the head of a village, Ruel finally showed a calmness that surpassed that of ordinary villagers and shouted loudly.

 “Quiet!”

“Don’t be afraid, the captain may not know that we want to ambush them!”

“As long as we don’t show hostility, they won’t dare to take the lead…”

　　Boom!

A low shelling sound suddenly sounded, interrupting Ruhr’s words.

 A cannonball drew a graceful arc in mid-air and slammed into the iceberg next to the Diamond Star.

The iceberg suddenly collapsed, releasing large chunks of ice that rolled down the mountain.

Although the crew on the ship was not killed, it once again caused a panic.

 “Damn it, they didn’t even think about communicating!”

Looking at the approaching [Black Swan], Ruhr’s face was as gloomy as water.

He did not expect that the seemingly gentle and handsome captain would be so ruthless and decisive once he took action, leaving no room for turning.

At this time, Ruhr also felt a trace of regret in his heart.

 But now it’s obviously too late to regret it.

 “Fuck, I’ll fight you!”

　　Ruhr shouted angrily: “Gunner, fire for me! Let me sink that ship!”

The gunner who heard the order did not hesitate, immediately lit the fuse and started shelling.

The artillery system on this ship looks ancient and outdated, but in fact it is extremely powerful.

 The shells they load even have certain automatic tracking and calibration functions, so that ordinary villagers can also use them.

　　Boom!

 The smoke of gunpowder dispersed, and the shells of unknown material exploded out under the push of gunpowder, carrying a powerful momentum and heading straight towards the location of the [Black Swan].

However, at this moment, the ship, which was no longer considered small, suddenly shook in full view of everyone.

It traced an “S”-shaped trajectory on the sea without slowing down at all, dodging several cannonballs falling in mid-air like a ghost.

 Ruhl’s eyelids jumped at the sight.

Is this a dodge action that a ship can do?

Moreover, after approaching the [Diamond Star], the charging momentum of the [Black Swan] became more and more fierce.

 It seems like there is an invisible barrier wrapped around it, blocking all impacts.

In the eyes of the villagers, the pattern of the boat hull gradually became distorted and weird, causing great fear to emerge unconsciously in their hearts.

“Holy Lord, what on earth is that ship?”

 Just as some villagers became increasingly frightened.

　　Ruhr suddenly let out an angry roar.

 “O flame, give me strength!”

Before he finished speaking, countless fine and broken dark lines suddenly appeared on his body.

 His skin turned bright red and his body temperature continued to rise.

However, this symptom is different from the situation during “spontaneous combustion”. It is more like the power deep in his blood being stimulated.

Immediately afterwards, the old man’s body became taller, his skin cracked along the lines, and a dark red flame ignited.

 His head has sharp horns and fangs sprout from the corners of his mouth.

 Even a red, skinless tail grew out of his back.

 Such an image only reminds people of a legendary creature—

The Balrog!
