Julia stood on the deck, holding a translucent ice blade in her hand.
Alka didn't know the ability of this blade. Although he had held this sword before, even holding it in his hand would make him unbearable because of the coldness it contained.
Naturally, he didn't infuse magic into it and use its effect.
"Julia, try it and see if this sword is powerful."
Sofia couldn't help but say beside him.
After all, the appearance is here.
Julia nodded.
Holding the blade tightly in her hand, the magic power in her body began to flow into the translucent ice blade along her arm.
With the infusion of magic power, a blue flash can be clearly seen in the center of the translucent ice blade.
Then, the light condensed into a thread-like silk thread in the translucent center of the sword.
Holding the sharp blade in his hand, he thought for a moment, and then facing the sea, he slashed it with a sword.
With just such a light swing, the magic power in the blade dissipated, forming a long white breath like ice chips in the air.
It was like a chill.
A very icy road quickly appeared on the sea, extending forward along the chill, clearly visible.
And the freezing of the sea water was still spreading around.
It was not until the frozen ice road reached a width of more than half a meter that it slowed down and extended all the way for more than 10 meters.
This was probably the farthest distance of the chill.
Looking at the effect of the sword blade, Alka thought it would be a flying ice blade similar to magic.
In the end, he didn't expect that it would be cold air, although this cold air could instantly freeze the sea surface into ice.
But it felt too different from what he thought, and it was still more handsome to fly out a cold ice blade.
Julia raised the blade and carefully examined it in the sunlight. She could see the bright threads inside were wriggling.
It seemed that Julia was controlling her magic power and feeling the general ability of the blade.
Several people were watching from behind and did not disturb her.
Julia raised the blade again and waved it gently. Another long streak of coldness flew out.
But this time the effect was different. The ice on the sea surface was no longer like a flat road, but kept stabbing upwards, forming one ice cone after another protruding upwards.
It extended all the way out, but the distance was only about seven or eight meters.
The distance of the attack was shorter than the last time, but the effect showed that the lethality was much stronger.
Each ice cone was at least half a meter long and extremely sharp.
Julia raised her free left hand as if she finally understood how to use this weapon.
Magic power also surged out from her left hand, emitting a faint light, and the effect of an unknown spell flashed, and water flowed in her palm.
Then the water suddenly spurted out, forming a water column.
The sword blade in her right hand immediately swung, and the visible chill spread out.
The chill passed through the water column and froze it. One after another, ice blades flew out in the air and hit the sea in the distance.
The moment these ice blades hit the sea surface, they would freeze a large area of the surrounding sea surface into ice. Then they turned into a piece of floating ice and floated on the ice surface.
However, the size of these ice blades was equal to the width of the chill passing through the water flow.
The water flow in Julia's left hand changed. She gently moved forward, and a barrier composed of water flow appeared in front of her.
The sword blade kept waving at the water barrier, and one after another, ice blades kept flying out. The length of these ice blades reached more than two meters, and it can be seen that the thickness of these ice blades is very thin, but extremely tough.
It hit the ice surface that had just condensed, and it cut it very smoothly, and then froze the sea water below again.
After simply testing the weapon in her hand, Julia nodded with satisfaction.
Alka and others behind were stunned. The effect just shown should be the advanced gameplay of the sword blade.
But Julia didn't know if it was because of her experience, she easily found out how to achieve the maximum lethality of this ice sword blade.
And discovered its various strange effects, and the operation just now required very delicate to achieve it.
Otherwise, the cold will freeze the water flow directly, instead of flying out, and it will not form a sharp ice blade.
Alka thought that he couldn't do it in such a short time if he took the sword to attack and test it.
He had to play for a day or so to achieve the same effect as Julia.
As expected, she was once a six-spiral, but her strength was suppressed in the sea of the Holy Mother.
She still has experience and ability.
Just as Alka was thinking this, did she suddenly feel some fluctuations coming?
It was obvious that a wave was emanating from Julia's body.
A small magic vacuum appeared around Julia, but this vacuum came too suddenly for everyone to feel.
After noticing the fluctuations emanating from Julia.
"Have you recovered your strength to three spirals?"
Alka looked at Julia and asked.
Julia was also a little surprised. This recovery was a little too sudden, but she nodded.
"Yes, I don't know why it suddenly recovered. I thought I would have to wait at least another week or two."
But this was not a big surprise for her.
After saying that, she looked at the blade in her hand: "But this sword is really good."
The appearance is very much in line with her heart, and the effect is also very interesting. She feels that she is still very good at the delicate control of this kind of coldness.
There are already many effects that can be achieved by using this blade in her mind.
"Okay, as long as you like it, I'm afraid that such a weapon will not be used by anyone, which is a pity."
Alka nodded and said.
After all, the weapon can be felt to be powerful just by looking at its appearance. If the people on the ship can't use it and can't digest it internally, then it can only be sold externally, which is a pity.
Such a good thing should of course be used by one's own people.
Then he waved his hand, and the sound of the chain turning sounded, controlling the anchor to rise.
The sails fell.
He came to the rudder and said to them: "I looked around the island, and there is no treasure as the church said, and there is no such thing.
Next, we will go to Snow Island, which is the largest island in this sea area. Let's go there first."
Hearing Alka's words, everyone nodded without objection.
As the captain, he decided the next route.
…
At night, the sky was full of nebulae.
Tonight, the blizzard weakened a lot, only a few white dots fell from the black sky from time to time.
The cold wind was also rarely weak, and there was even a sign of holding his breath.
Alka was sitting in his room, and at this time he was meditating, and sweat kept dripping from his forehead.
The magic power around him was gathering in his body.
"Hu~"
After slowly exhaling, Alka opened his eyes, picked up the towel that had been prepared beside him, and wiped the sweat off his face.
Then he couldn't help but sigh and said, "What's going on? I feel like my magic power is blocked and can't grow anymore."
When I started meditating in the past few days, the growth of magic power encountered an obvious bottleneck. Not only did the absorption speed slow down, but even the efficiency of forming new circuits during meditation became lower.
The obstacles that were built up became stronger and stronger.
If I do this, I don't know how long it will take to break through the three spirals and reach the second stage.
From the knowledge taught by Lucilia, we can know that although the upgrade from the first stage to the second stage is a small bottleneck.
But this should not exist for Alka, or not just for him, but for people with a little talent, it should not be considered a bottleneck.
With Alka's soul strength and physical talent, there shouldn't be such a bottleneck. Just meditate step by step to achieve it very smoothly.
Instead of feeling the obvious blockage of magic power like now. The growth rate slows down.
As the strength gets stronger and stronger through meditation. The speed of increasing magic power will only get faster and faster, because the total amount of demand is increasing.
Physical fitness is being consumed, and the magic circuits are increasing. Naturally, with stable runes, it is possible to absorb the surrounding magic power more exaggeratedly.
The speed of magic power increase should not be reduced.
In response to Alka's complaints, Lucilia's soul came out and sat in mid-air looking at him.
"Is it possible that this is the sea area of the Virgin Mary? Didn't the information given by the Archbishop before say that strength will be suppressed in the sea area of the Virgin Mary?"
"Maybe this is why it is difficult for you to upgrade. After all, the only person who knows about the fourth spiral now is the Archbishop."
Hearing Lucilia's words, Alka nodded.
It is right to think so. After all, if there is no meditation method, the average time for people living in the Virgin Mary Sea to become a toucher and reach the second spiral is more than 10 years.
There is no concept of average time to reach the third spiral. Some people cannot reach it in their lifetime, and even if they do, it will take about another 10 years.
In total, it takes about 25 years from becoming a toucher to the third spiral.
And Alka's speed of improvement is very fast because of the meditation method. Because he mastered the treasure, he quickly raised him to the third spiral.
In just one year, he went through more than 20 years of others.
Even without meditation, it is impossible for ordinary people to spend so much time to reach the triple spiral.
It is even more impossible to say that there are so few beings above the triple spiral.
"Does it mean that if you want to break through to the triple spiral, you can only wait until you leave the Holy Mother Sea?"
Lucylia nodded: "It is very likely. After all, this is the rule set by the Holy Mother in this sea area. I don't think we have the ability to violate it."
Hearing this, Alka couldn't help but think about it.
Then he thought of Julia's experience when she came to the Home Sea.
Thinking like this, if in the Boundless Sea, the strength is improved to a more exaggerated level, such as the third stage and the fourth stage. There are dozens or hundreds of spirals in the body.
After experiencing such a powerful strength, how could you still think about returning to the Home Sea.
Return to the point where you only had a few spirals and feel your own weakness.
Perhaps this is because the Home Sea rarely knows the outside world.
Because the number of people who return is very small.
This will give people a feeling of going but never returning, making people more worried when going.
Alka couldn't help but think from another perspective. If it were him, would he be willing to come back?
Obviously impossible.
In other words, this departure is likely to be a farewell forever.
Fortunately, he doesn't have too many concerns about this place.
Thinking of this, Alka closed his eyes and lay on the bed to rest.
Listening to the cold wind outside the window, he fell into a deep sleep.
…
After a long voyage. They are about to reach their destination, Snow Island. Alka steers the rudder and looks at the island in the distance.
Stretching out his hand and waving, the bronze bell on the main mast swayed left and right, making a crisp sound.
Hearing the crisp sound transmitted.
The people in the captain's room came out one after another.
"Are we almost there? Oh, this island is quite big." Jason stood on the deck, took out a telescope, looked at the island in the distance, and couldn't help saying.
Lusilia jumped a few times and climbed up Alka's trouser leg all the way to his shoulder. It looked a bit like a little monkey.
Of course, I couldn't say it, otherwise Lusilia would be angry.
"This island is the largest island in the Arctic Triangle, and it also has the largest tribe here. According to the last statistics, there may be five or six hundred people." Sofia said, recalling the information in his mind.
As they communicated, the ship soon approached the sea area around the island, and saw a very simple port, which was casually built with sticks and planks, and the interface was made of some kind of vines.
There were two or three ships of different sizes in the port, but they were all relatively simple.It should be the boat used by the tribesmen on this island.
Several small wooden houses can be seen in the port. Several tribesmen wearing thick furs are coming out to watch them vigilantly.
Because the port used by these islanders is a bit too small, they went around a circle before they found a suitable place to dock the boat.
But it is still a distance away from the island.
Untie the Flying Swallow and let it fall on the sea.
Alka turned his head and looked at everyone.
"This time Sofia must go with you. We need to map the terrain of the island to facilitate its map making."
Hearing this, Jason looked at Porro, and after discussing it, the two decided to stay and guard the boat.
Julia, Sofia and Alka went to the island.
This time, there is no need for so many people to go, after all, they are just drawing maps, not really looking for treasures.
At least the map must be drawn and Alka must take a good look at the information of the golden light before the next step can be taken.
As for Lucilia, she will naturally follow Alka at any time.
The four of them jumped onto the Flying Swallow together and quickly boarded the island on the Flying Swallow.
Directly drag the ship ashore.
The three walked towards the island.
This island is very different from the previous ice island, although it is still covered with snow.
But you can see the land, the mountains next to each other in the distance of the island, and various plants and trees still exist.
Unlike the ice island, there is nothing but the endless ice surface.
Alka turned his head and looked at Sofia: "How do we go this time?"
Generally, Sofia would simply plan the shape of the island based on the visual observation before sailing around the island before landing, so as to facilitate her to quickly measure the island.
"This island is too big. Go around the outside until you get to the center of the island."
After hearing what Sofia said, Alka nodded and motioned for her to lead the way.
He briefly toured the island along the border.
Although it is in a cold and snowy area all year round, you can see a lot of animals. After all, there are still many cold-resistant plants and trees here.
Without these plants and small animals, the tribal residents on this island cannot live in peace.
Although Alka didn't know what these animals were, they looked a little strange and different from the ones he used to live with.
The world is very different.
It seems that there is no book like an animal encyclopedia anywhere.
Is there no scholar to record it?
For example, he saw a creature similar to a horse in this place, but with a pig nose, fangs like a wild boar, and a layer of scales on its tail.
It can only be said that it is worthy of being a fantasy world with magical existence.
Not all creatures are like humans, and the magic circuits in their bodies will be silent.
But no matter what, judging from the appearance, it must be a very good camel beast.
But after all, this world is an ocean world, and it is difficult for such a camel beast to play a big role and become popular.
When they passed a forest, there was movement on the branches.
A creature that looks like a fox, but has eyes like an eagle, and two cat-like tails behind it is hiding in the bushes and watching them.
Although the fur of the creature blended into the snow on the branches, it was so conspicuous in the eyes of the three people.
And it was obvious that its eyes were staring at Julia.
Then, for some reason, it jumped twice between the branches and fell directly into Julia's arms.
And Julia naturally raised her hands to take it.
Looking at this situation, Alka couldn't help shaking her left shoulder.
The Lucilia doll, who was playing with pine cones on her shoulder, almost fell off after shaking twice.
She stretched out her hand and patted Alka's ears hard.
It's a pity that her soft arms could hardly cause any damage.
"What are you doing!"
Alka shook her head.
Lucilia saw the little animal in Julia's arms.
At this time, the animal was constantly nudging towards Julia's arms, making coquettish sounds.
"What's so strange about this? Aren't all mermaids like this?"
When she said this, she saw Alka and Sofia staring at her.
"Okay, I forgot that Julia was the first mermaid you saw."
"They are naturally friendly to nature, and there is always a magical charm around them. You have experienced it before."
