Chapter 226 The first [Glory Meeting]
"[Rhine Secret Realm]."
After spitting out this name, Xia En felt a strange feeling in his heart.
It seems that the connection with the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] has become closer, and it seems to be recognized by this [Secret Realm].
【Secret Realm Exploration Speed +5%! 】
[Current exploration degree: 5.1%! 】
Xia En raised his eyebrows suddenly when he saw the two lines of information popping up in front of him.
Directly increased exploration by 5%?
In Xia En's view, this degree of exploration is equivalent to the degree of development of the [Rhine Secret Realm].
At the same time, according to the effect of [Empty Beast Heart Seal], the higher the degree of exploration, the higher the blessing he will receive in this world.
If it reaches 100%, maybe... he can really become the master of this [Secret Realm]?
However, the efforts of the Yongyue clan members in the past ten days have only increased the exploration rate by 0.1%.
You can see the vastness of [Rhine Secret Realm].
Exploring and developing the secret realm is destined to be a long process.
Choosing a name can directly increase the exploration degree by 5%, which is an unexpected surprise.
"Rhine! What a good name!"
Sha Jingjing showed an excited expression.
This is the name of their new home, of course it is of great significance!
The reaction of several high priests was even more intense. They knelt down on one knee and shouted excitedly: "Thank you, Lord Holy Son, for giving me the name!"
"We will be your vanguard. Sharp spear, open up the territory of [Land of Rhine] for you”
Xia En couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
No matter how many times he had seen it, he was still a little uncomfortable with the fanatical attitude of the Yongyue people.
Xia En was planning to leave, but suddenly he remembered something and ordered.
"By the way, you must take good care of that small tree in the center of the valley."
As he said that, he pointed to the center of the valley, where there was a short tree about two meters tall. The bark is dark red in color.
It is the [Crimson Ancient Tree] after rebirth!
Due to the excessive vitality in the [Rhine Secret Realm], the growth of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] was even better than Xia En expected.
It has grown to this height in ten days.
As long as you give it enough time, it may not be impossible to return to its peak state in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm].
Hearing this, the high priests responded one after another: "I will obey your instructions."
One of the high priests sensed the importance that Shane attached to the sapling.
He had personally touched the sapling and noticed the extraordinary secret power in it, so he had some other thoughts in his mind.
‘Since the Holy Son attaches so much importance to this small tree, why not...’
‘Treat it as the sacred tree of the Moon Chanting Clan? ’
‘Not only does it comply with the order of the Holy Son, but it can also be protected by this tree. ’
If Xia En knew what he was thinking, he would definitely show a very strange expression.
[Crimson Ancient Tree] clearly has a deep connection with the Vampire Clan, so how come it has now become the sacred tree of a group of werewolves?
However, Shane was unaware of this bold idea.
He really couldn't stand the fervent eyes of the werewolves. After a few simple instructions, he and Carles left the [Rhine Secret Realm].
Stepping out of the gate made of silver light, the two came to the coast of [Sand Island].
Not far away, several federal ships were docked there.
Many secret travelers are carrying some metal boxes made of alloy back and forth in an orderly manner.
Inside that are the cut bones of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast].
Since this special skeleton cannot be loaded into a space ring, the Federation Secret Pathers had to use this clumsy method to transport it.
As expected.
After receiving such a large share of credit, Carles' career in the Federation will definitely be smooth sailing.
In the future, we will continue to receive "investment" from the federation, and our strength will definitely not grow slowly.
Xia En sighed with emotion: "Maybe next time we meet, you will already be a genuine legendary strongman."
Carles could not deny it and said with a smile: "How do I feel? , will you be promoted to legend earlier than me?"
Then she changed the subject.
"I got the news. After I return this time, I should take up a position at [Liuli Island]."
"After that, I'm afraid I will rarely carry out sea missions, and the chances of meeting will be even less."< br>
[Liu Li Island]
Not only was this name familiar to Xia En, but it actually struck him as thunderous.
The reason is simple.
This island is one of the core islands of the Seven Seas Federation!
The Federal Parliament, the Federal Court, the Federal Research Institute, and an entire advanced and developed city are all located in today's [Liu Li Island].
Ninety percent of the residents on the island are secret travelers, and there are even several sixth- and seventh-level powerhouses sitting on the island.
It can be said that [Liu Li Island]'s status in the Federation is equivalent to the capital of a country, and it is the economic and cultural center of the entire Federation.
So much so that this island is also known as "the brightest star on the Federal Star Wave Flag."
There, the developed ports transport and trade goods worth tens of thousands of gold dragon coins every day, and the commercial system is extremely developed.
The latest steam technology, magic pattern props, and various secret techniques collided with each other on the island, creating new sparks and turning them into nutrients for the growth of the huge collective of the Federation.
Countless dream chasers have gone there one after another, just to leave their mark on this "golden land".
So, Carles being transferred to [Liu Li Island] is like being promoted from a small county town to the capital city. It is undoubtedly a great thing.
Only secretaries who are truly valued by the Federation can receive this kind of treatment.
It also shows from the side that she has a bright future.
Xia En said sincerely: "Congratulations!"
However, Carles' focus seemed a little strange, and she continued.
"Don't worry, I am a very dedicated mechanical armor. Even if you die, I will not let anyone other than you enter my body."
Xia En: " …”
"If you need any help, you can contact me at any time."
"For example, developing materials for [Ryan Secret Realm], I think there is a lot of room for cooperation between you and the Federation."
Facing Carles's advice, Xia En straightened his expression.
"I will consider it."
On second thought, if this [Platinum Knight] reaches a high position within the federation, then he is not considered "someone above"?
At this time, on the sea not far away, a three-masted sailboat with a black swan carved on its bow was sailing towards the coast.
Seeing the ship, Carles let out a burst of steam from under his visor and said like a sigh.
“It’s time to say goodbye.”
“If you are free, I hope you can come to [Liu Li Island], I will wait for you there!”
Xia En nodded solemnly: "I will definitely go!"
After receiving a positive answer, Carles waved his hand generously and walked towards the direction of the federal ship.
……
……
Not long.
[Black Swan] docked at the coast.
At this time, the [Black Swan] has changed a lot compared to more than ten days ago.
After using the bones of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] as the main material to strengthen it, its width and length have not changed much, but its height has increased.
To be precise, the part of the hull below the sea surface has become longer.
Considering that the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] is a creature from the [Secret Sea], it may prefer the underwater environment. The main color of the entire ship is still pitch black with a touch of silver, and there are stars and magic patterns dotting the hull.
The difference is.
The feeling of [Black Swan] seems to have become a little more illusory, like a transparent and hazy phantom.
It is there, but it seems to be in another space that is difficult to reach.
If you don’t look carefully, you may even subconsciously ignore its existence.
The reason why the color of the hull has not changed much.
It's because more bones of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] were directly used to strengthen the keel deep in the hull.
If someone comes to the depths of the cabin, they can see that the skeleton originally engraved with profound runes has a touch of strong silver.
The mutated keel not only absorbs the secret power from the sea water all the time, but also brings space-related abilities to the [Black Swan].
The enhanced information at that time is as follows.
【The main body of "Black Swan" has been strengthened successfully! 】
[Durability upper limit +100! 】
【Sturdiness +10! 】
【Mysterious +10! 】
【Comprehensive quality: 5.0→5.3! 】
【Due to the effect of the extraordinary material "Void Beast Skeleton", the effect of the trait "Secret Power Aggregation" has been improved! 】
[Quality: Rare→Epic! 】
[Description: "Empty Beast Skeletons" are naturally connected to the "Secret Sea" and will gradually cause your ship to be infected by the breath of the "Secret Sea". 】
【When this transformation reaches a certain level, maybe this ship can sail in the "secret sea", right? 】
……
[Unlock trait: Shield of Overlapping Spaces]
[Quality: Precious]
[Description: After fusing the "Void Beast Skeleton", a layer of fragile overlapping space will be created on the surface of the ship's hull to withstand incoming attacks. 】
【The current space can withstand attacks to a limited extent. When it is broken, it will be automatically repaired over time. 】
......
Needless to say, the [Secret Power Aggregation] trait upgraded to [Epic] quality.
This not only subtly strengthens the [Black Swan], but also transforms the ship into an excellent place for cultivation.
The power from the [Secret Sea] is so precious.
When he was in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], Xia Endu had to use a rather extreme method to absorb it.
But now, as long as you are on the [Black Swan], you can swallow the secret power contaminated by the breath of the [Secret Sea].
The speed of cultivation of those on the secret path naturally increases by leaps and bounds.
The most intuitive reaction was not from Joey or Fei Ya, but from the newborn bronze dragon, Xian Ge Maya!
At this time, Xian Ge was sleeping soundly in a corner of the captain's cabin.
Her body curled up into a ball, like a sleeping kitten, and occasionally she would make a series of snapping sounds.
This is her body growing at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary humans.
Even people from different races like Joey and Feiya can't compare. I'm afraid, this can be regarded as the unique talent of the bronze dragon family, right?
In the past few days, Xian Ge's rank has exceeded the third level.
And it continues to rise.
As for this second trait, Xia En understood it as a weakened "Moonlight Protection of the Yueyong Clan."
They all use the dislocation of space to act as a defensive shield. Same effect.
However, the defensive power of the [Overlapping Space Shield] was obviously much weaker than the moonlight at that time.
Perhaps, when more [Empty Beast Skeletons] are integrated, this trait will also undergo a completely new transformation?
While his thoughts were ups and downs, Xia En had boarded the [Black Swan] again.
In order to accommodate the indigenous people from all over the [Sand Island], he has been busy on the [Sand Island] these days.
I just boarded the ship once when I strengthened the ship and reported safety.
In order to prevent the [Black Swan] from colliding with the [Burning Gold], Shane continued the previous strategy and let it wander in the waters near the [Sand Island].
It was not until today that he officially returned to the Black Swan.
"Xiao Hei, your captain is back!"
Xia En said to the ship spirit of [Black Swan] in his heart.
[Master, you are finally back. I miss you so much. 】
Xiao Hei expressed his intimacy excitedly, but soon, he asked with some doubts.
[Master, have you been on other ships these days? 】
【Why do I seem to smell other ship spirits? 】
“!?”
Xia En was stunned for a moment, but then the corner of his mouth twitched.
If I have to say it, he does seem to have come into contact with the ship souls of other ships - that is the [Sky Serpent] in the promotion ritual!
Although the time they got together was short, Xia En had an extremely close contact with the ship spirit of the "Sky Serpent", and briefly achieved the state of "human and ship becoming one".
But when did Xiao Hei become so smart?
Even this smell can be distinguished.
The child is older and it’s hard to fool him!
Thinking this in his heart, Xia En said: "It's okay, I've been on the island these days, how can I come into contact with other ships?"
Xiao Hei was doubtful: [It seems like this...]
"Mr. Captain!"
Besides, Joey came up to him excitedly and almost hugged him: "Welcome back !"
Yan Yan also waved to Xia En: "Captain, I knew you would be fine."
Fei Ya leaned on the edge of the mast and looked at him with a smile. to him.
Miss Ghost appeared directly in front of Xia En and said eagerly: "Captain, when can we have barbecue again?"
"How about we just hold another celebration banquet."
Looking at the crew members in front of him, Xia En felt a little touched and felt an indescribable warmth.
This is the mood that can only be felt on the [Black Swan].
Perhaps this is the feeling of going home?
Xia En waved his hand and said directly: "Today!"
"Tonight, let's hold a celebration banquet to celebrate the success of the [Sand Island] operation!"
>"Yeah!"
……
……
While the crew was preparing for the celebration banquet.
Xia En returned to the captain's cabin first and took out a strange mirror.
This is the [Glory Crystal Mirror] obtained from the captain of [Fishing Number].
At this time, there was a slight light shining on the mirror, and the mirror surface was trembling slightly.
This is the symbol of Archbishop Huijiao when he initiated the rally call.
It just so happened that Xia En was currently having some questions and wanted to ask these well-informed people about them.
Such as the location of other elven temples.
Another example is the information about the [Truth Society].
Obviously ordinary people will not know the answers to these questions, but if it is the equally mysterious Hui Cult, they might be able to give satisfactory answers.
Thinking of this, Xia En no longer hesitated and put his hand on the mirror.
The next moment.
A pure and bright light filled his entire field of vision...
