"Thank you for the reminder, we will be careful." Klein responded with a smile, and his confidence made the fisherman couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and secretly admired it in his heart.
They continued to move forward, and people kept looking at them with surprise or awe along the way. In the town's tavern, the news spread quickly, and several adventurers with red faces gathered around and discussed in low voices.
"Did you hear that? Those four guys are planning to find the holy relics of Haiyuan. They are really desperate!"
"Haha, the sea will swallow up all pride, unless they are the descendants of Poseidon."
"However, the blade of light in the hands of that boy Klein is indeed extraordinary. Maybe he is actually quite capable."
These discussions did not affect Klein and his group, but instead made the bond between them stronger. In the process of preparing the ship, Sebastian found an old shipbuilder. The old man tapped the side of the ship with fingers like dead branches, examined every inch of wood, and finally gave his own opinion:
< br>
"This ship has experienced countless storms, but it needs to be reinforced if it is to sail into the abyss. You have the courage, and I have the skills, so let's turn it into a battleship that can conquer the sea!"
"Your skills are admirable, it will be our honor." Su Mo responded sincerely. They knew that this was not only a modification of the ship, but also another tempering of their own beliefs.
A few days later, a brand-new sailboat docked at the port. Its hull was coated with a special protective layer, and there were several cannons made of special materials on the deck, which looked both mysterious and powerful.
On the day of sailing, the crowd was bustling with both blessings and worries. At the moment when he untied the cable, Klein announced loudly: "No matter whether there are strong winds or rough waves ahead, we will move forward bravely, because our goal is to protect the light and peace of this continent!"
"For the light!" The other three people responded in unison, and their voices echoed in the harbor along with the sea breeze, arousing cheers.
The days at sea were not peaceful. They encountered sudden huge waves and fought with giant octopuses, but each crisis made them more united, and their mutual trust and tacit understanding reached new heights. Ivan's arrows can always repel the incoming sea beasts at critical moments. Klein's blade of light becomes a barrier against the dark power. Su Mo's agility and Sebastian's strength are what they face. The power of nature is an indispensable source of strength.
A month later, after a sudden huge whirlpool, they accidentally discovered a hidden underwater ruins. In the center of the ruins, a huge crystal palace stood quietly, emitting a faint blue light, as if calling them.
"It seems that the second holy object is here." Su Mo looked around, feeling nervous and excited about the unknown.
Just as they cautiously entered the Crystal Palace, a low and majestic voice suddenly sounded: "Foreign travelers, why do you disturb the peace of this sleeping place?"
The four of them looked around, but saw no one. They only felt that the sound seemed to come from every crystal clear crystal.
Klein took a step forward, his voice firm and respectful: "We are here to find holy objects. We aim to stop the spread of darkness and protect our home."
"The test of holy objects is never just a competition of strength, but also a trial of the soul." The voice sounded again, and then, the crystals around the four people began to change into the fears and temptations they had faced, but this Once again, the intensity is doubled.
"Stick to your heart and never forget your original intention." Klein's words were like a tranquilizer, allowing the other three to quickly calm down. They understood that the real challenge had begun.
After a difficult inner battle, when the last trace of the illusion dissipated, a blue gem slowly rose from the crystal platform in the center. It exuded a soft and deep light, as if it could see into the human heart.
"Heart of the Ocean, recognize the Lord." The voice said with a satisfied tone, "You have passed the test, and this power will be used by you. May it lead you to victory."
"Heart of the Ocean!" Sebastian could not conceal the excitement in his heart. They knew that this not only meant an increase in power, but also meant that they were one step closer to their goal of protecting the continent and retrieving all sacred objects.
When they left the Crystal Palace and sailed to the sea again, a strange rainbow suddenly appeared in the sky, like nature's hymn to their success.
"It seems that even the sky is celebrating us." Ivan chuckled, her eyes looking farther into the sky, full of desire for unknown adventures.
"This is not just a rainbow, it is the legendary 'Bridge of Hope.' The ancient prophecy mentioned that only those truly chosen by fate can witness such a spectacle." Klein stared at the colorful bridge across the sky , my heart was filled with unprecedented excitement.
A group of passing merchant ships saw this scene and stopped sailing one after another. The crew members pointed to the sky in surprise and talked among themselves.
"Look, what is that! I have never seen such a spectacular sight in my life!"
"It's the 'Bridge of Hope'! My grandfather once told me that those who see it will lead the world to a new era."
"Are those young people really the legendary warriors?"
The captain of the merchant ship, a middle-aged man with a weathered face, took off his hat and silently saluted in the direction of Klein and the others: "May the gods bless you, young heroes."
With the addition of "Heart of the Ocean", Klein and his team became more powerful, but at the same time, they also clearly realized that the road ahead would not be easy because of this. On the boat, they sat together and made plans for the next step.
"According to ancient records, the third sacred object seems to be related to the depths of the Flame Mountain. The environment there is harsh. It is said that even the most heat-resistant dragon cannot stay for a long time." Aiwen flipped through a worn map, fingertips Tap lightly on a location marked on the map.
"Flaming Mountain?" Sebastian frowned, "That's a place where even the map will burn. How do we get in?"
"With the guidance of the 'Heart of the Ocean' and the 'Heart of Light', I believe nothing is impossible." Klein's eyes were firm, "Moreover, the guardian has said that holy objects are closely connected to our destiny. Since the path It’s been paved, we have to go on.”
At this time, Su Mo suddenly interjected: "I read in a book that to enter the Flame Mountain, you need an ancient rune, and a shield made with it can temporarily withstand the high temperature."
"Rune? This sounds like something from the Magic Academy." Klein thought for a while, "Perhaps, we can go to Iris City to look for it. It is a treasure trove of knowledge. We should be able to find the information we need."< br>
The decision was made, the sailboat turned around and headed towards the city of Ayres. Along the way, their deeds spread like wildfire, and people began to call them "relic hunters." Their courage and determination inspired everyone who heard their stories.
Arriving in Iris City, they first visited the oldest library in the city, where the librarian was an old man who seemed to be a hundred years old but had sharp eyes. After hearing their purpose, the old man pondered for a moment and pulled out a dusty classic from the depths of the bookshelf.
"Concerning the runes of the Flame Mountain, you are lucky. This "Chronicle of the Flame World" may be able to help you. But remember, knowledge is power and responsibility."
In the library, they studied day and night and finally found a way to make the shield rune. At the same time, they also learned that the road to the Flame Mountain was extremely dangerous and required courage and perseverance beyond ordinary people.
After completing preparations, they embarked on the journey to the Flame Mountain. On the way, I met an old businessman who was rushing to Iris City. He saw them from a distance, with an incredible expression on his face.
"You are those young warriors who are looking for holy objects, right? I heard your story, and it really makes my blood boil! If there is hope in the world, it is you."
The words of the old businessman were like a shot in the arm on their journey, strengthening their determination to move forward.
"Thank you for your encouragement. Every support is motivation for us to move forward." Klein responded with a smile, a firm light shining in his eyes. His companions also nodded in greeting, their hearts filled with warmth.
As they penetrated deeper into the Flame Mountain area that no one dared to explore, the surrounding environment became increasingly harsh, and the temperature in the air seemed to scorch their breath. They followed the guidance in the ancient books and used the newly learned knowledge of runes to make shields, carefully crossing the scalding desert and advancing into the depths of the Flame Mountain.
"I can't believe we're here." Ivan sighed as she walked, sweat sliding down her cheeks, but her eyes were filled with unprecedented excitement.
"As long as there is light in your heart, no matter how hot the road is, it can become a bridge to victory." Klein said, gently waving the blade of light in his hand, and the surrounding heat wave seemed to be pushed back a bit by this pure power.
At this time, a strange creature covered with fiery red scales suddenly sprang out of the rock cracks. Its eyes were as blazing as lava, and bursts of hot breath came out of its mouth. It obviously regarded them as intruders.
"Get ready to fight!" Sebastian roared, his body bursting with powerful strength, and he stood firmly at the front of the team. His muscles bulged, as if he was ready to withstand fierce attacks from the flame creatures at any time.
However, Klein raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down. "Wait, we are here to find the holy object, not the enemy." He tried to communicate with the creature in a calm tone. Surprisingly, the creature backed away slowly, seeming to understand what he meant, and then turned around Drill into the rock crevice and disappear.
"This..." Su Mo's eyes widened in disbelief, "It just left like this?"
"Everything has animism, maybe it feels the resonance of the holy objects in us." Klein explained, feeling even more convinced that they were on the right path.
Soon after, they came to a huge volcanic crater, which erupted from time to time with hot magma. In the center of the magma lake, there was a dazzling ruby suspended, which was the third sacred object they were looking for—— "Heart of Fire".
"It seems easy, but in fact it is extremely dangerous." Sebastian murmured, even his strength seemed insignificant in the face of such high temperatures.
Klein stared at the "Heart of Flame" with a strong sense of mission in his heart. "We have to get it, for the sake of this continent."
They used rune shields to cross the magma lake with difficulty, walking on thin ice every step of the way. Finally, Klein stretched out his hand and touched the "Heart of Flame". In an instant, a hot and energetic force poured into his body, and a light flashed in his eyes, as if he had reached some kind of contract with the Heart of Flame.
When they returned safely with the "Heart of Fire", the entire city of Iris was in a sensation. People gathered in the streets and alleys, talking a lot.
"Look at those young people, they really did it!"
"Two of the three holy objects have been collected. They must be the legendary saviors!"
"I have never seen such a scene. Their power is enough to change the world!"
Back on the boat, the four of them sat around on the deck, with tired but satisfied smiles on their faces. They know that there is a bigger battle waiting for them, and the dark forces will never sit idly by.
"Now, there is only the last sacred object left." Su Mo flipped through the map, his eyes stopping on a mark, "It is hidden in the deepest part of the dark forest, which is said to be the territory of fairies and ghosts."
"No matter what the road ahead is, we must move forward courageously." Klein stood up and stared at the darkening sky, "Because light is always worth pursuing."
At this time, a gust of wind blew by, carrying an unknown whisper, as if it contained high hopes for the adventure they were about to embark on.
"Then, let's go, towards the last holy object, towards the bright future!" Sebastian raised his arms and shouted, his voice full of power and passion, reverberating on the sea, stirring up new waves.
The sailboat set sail again, heading towards the unknown dark forest. After a difficult inner battle, when the last illusion dissipated, a blue gem slowly rose from the crystal platform in the center, exuding a soft and deep light. , seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
"Heart of the Ocean, recognize the Lord." The voice said with a satisfied tone, "You have passed the test, and this power will be used by you. May it lead you to victory."
"Heart of the Ocean!" Sebastian could not conceal the excitement in his heart. They knew that this not only meant an increase in power, but also meant that they were one step closer to their goal of protecting the continent and retrieving all sacred objects.
When they left the Crystal Palace and sailed to the sea again, a strange rainbow suddenly appeared in the sky, like nature's hymn to their success. "It seems that even the sky is celebrating us." Ivan chuckled, her eyes looking farther into the sky, full of desire for unknown adventures. (End of chapter)
