Extraordinary Sailing

In the days that followed, the Black Sea was turbulent.

Sirius secretly dispatched several expedition ships led by third-order transcendents, and hurried to the New World, but the exact destination is unknown.

Countries with overseas colonies took advantage of the best sea conditions of the year to organize their last autumn voyage with some trepidation.

No one would have trouble with gold coins, not to mention that all mainland countries are heavily dependent on colonial blood transfusions, and it is impossible to miss any opportunity for large-scale navigation in a year.

only.

Because no one knows what kind of profound impact an extra goddess on the Black Sea will have on this sea, so the specifications of the escort fleet are all higher than before.

Even the fourth-tier battleships that are usually used as the flagship of the escort fleet are now mostly sent in plural (no matter how important the escort fleet is, the warship level will not be too high, as a frigate, it is not as fast as a merchant ship. except quasi-legendary).

Of course, the Kingdom of Phalatis is no exception.

Signal flags waving.

"Anchor! Set sail!"

As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, the window period is too rare, and Ivan and the "Storm Horn" did not have a long time to recuperate when they returned to Newing Port.

After a brief reunion with the family, after the battleship completed maintenance, it followed the organized merchant fleet and headed towards the New World non-stop.

Accompanying them is a convoy composed of a Tier 4 ship "Endeavour" and three Tier 5 cruisers, as well as 25 merchant ships, large and small. The total number of mighty ships has reached 30!

Even before leaving, Ambrose, who stayed in the Kingdom of Tairo to help the local church stabilize the people's beliefs, failed to come back, and other friends in Port Newing did not have time to get together.

And after their escort fleet arrives in the New World, it will take turns to switch defenses with the last batch of navies stationed there. It may take half a year to return to Newing Port, that is, next spring.

huh huh

The seemingly connected white sails slowly sailed out of the port.

But it is far from being able to compare with Sirius' "Grand Treasure Fleet". Without the strength of the Overlord, they dare not organize too large a fleet to show off.

Moreover, because of the relative poverty of the kingdom's colonies, the cargo in the fleet was far inferior in both quantity and value compared to the cargo that Cyrus accompanied the ship (mainly precious metals such as gold and silver, and expensive ink tree dyes).

Before the end of the last window period of this year, they will take the Tusgar Current that returns to the New World in the "Trident Ocean Current", and travel to the northern part of the New World in about two months.

It is also the colony of Phalatis and most of the Tulip member states.

Because the direction of the ocean current is from the relatively safe mainland to the new continent, and the temperature of the ocean current on the return journey has also dropped a lot, so there is almost no need to worry about too dangerous demonized creatures operating in it.

Of course, Aiwen will not forget to fill his "Storm Horn" with various goods, such as industrial textiles and the most sought-after guns in the New World. Although it is blatantly smuggled, he has the right not to expire, right?

the other side.

After several urgent consultations with the senior officials of the Kingdom of Tairo, Phalitis announced that most of the stolen goods that had been hunted down had been returned to the "Nederland Bank Group".

The amount actually returned behind the scenes accounted for only 60% of the total number of losses, and this was the result of the bank consortium paying a large amount of "security fees" unimaginable to ordinary people.

But even so, the directors of the banking consortium headed by the "former chairman" old Joel are already grateful to Dade.

Everyone is an adult, and the guardians of the kingdom are not the guards of their homes and homes. Although the accident happened on the territory of the Tailuo Kingdom, it does not mean that the guardians of the kingdom are public servants of the people.

The willingness to trade a part is already for the sake of hundreds of years of "friendship".

For the current syndicate of banks, the gold and silver that can be earned again is a trivial matter, but these unique things are the key to them restoring the credibility of the syndicate of banks!

As for the remaining 40%, of course it has been divided up by the two countries.

Which ones to return and which ones to retain are of course up to them to decide.

The banking consortium adheres to neutrality, but the two countries have their own positions.

The things of allies or close neutral forces are returned at a higher price, and by the way, they also earn a favor, and the ownership of the things still belongs to their own people. And treasures such as Cyrus, Sark, Atlan, etc. that are hostile or competitive, of course they were directly accepted by them.

Even the bank consortium can't say anything wrong with this situation. In the case of the Tyro Kingdom itself being attacked by sea monsters and suffering heavy losses, this result is already countless times stronger than being ransacked by Huggins.

Even the latest board of directors of the bank consortium has decided that after the relief, the headquarters will be rebuilt in the Kingdom of Tailuo.

By the way, the investment in Phalatis and the Kingdom of Taro will be greatly increased.

The advantage of not having any political inclinations is that they can do business all over the world smoothly, but they also lack the highest-end combat power that only the secular ruling class possesses.

After experiencing the catastrophic event this time, they learned from the painful experience and prepared to implement the first step plan to win the asylum of the fourth-tier title, using their best method-money to clear the way!

Even if things like wealth are of little use to Tier 4 titles, the kingdom they live in will never be too much.

Even if you pay the price of losing some customers forever!

As for, why not find a wild fourth-order transcendent?

Regardless of whether there is such an existence on the mainland, or whether it can be exposed to the sight of the church.

Just one point, if you don't care about the rules, you won't care about the rules. The one who is most afraid of inviting back is not the guardian, but the hungry wolf who eats people.

besides.

In view of the fact that this incident caused major accidental damage to the Kingdom of Taylor, and the most severely damaged water city, Nisk, was almost razed to the ground. His Holiness, as a representative of the Tulip Alliance, issued an order to kill Huggins himself!

Anyone who provides clues will receive a high reward, and those who kill them, regardless of whether they are nationals of the Tulip Alliance, will receive extremely generous rewards from the Alliance.

Even the biggest victim in this incident, the Kingdom of Tai Luo, sent a young and vigorous "Halberd of Thunder" to search the sea, vowing to make Huggins, who escaped from the "Rose Sword Saint" by chance, pay the price.

but.

In the following time, Huggins and the pirates under his command disappeared without a trace as if they disappeared without a trace after the "Moby Dick Port" massacre.

Everyone understood that just like being sheltered by the "Mother of Sea Monsters" last time, Huggins, who was sheltered by the "Sea Witch" this time, was also impossible to find.

Under such circumstances, the situation on the sea is just as expected by the high-level officials of the various human kingdoms, slowly rising waves that cannot be ignored.

The surface of the Black Sea, which completely separates the new, southern, and old continents, presents an extremely long and narrow S-shape as a whole.

There are not many islands on the vast ocean.

But the most prominent feature of the underwater landform of this ocean is that there is an S-shaped sea ridge that also runs through the north and south, which is called the "Black Sea Middle Ridge".

That is to say, in fact, the Black Sea is not the deepest in the center, but from the land, it presents the characteristics of shallow, deep, shallow, deep, and shallow.

The lair of the "mother of sea monsters" is also the most active place of sea monsters in the Black Sea, and many seafaring sailors are well aware of it.

Just near the Somers Trench, which is northwest of the first turn of the S shape, a triangle with a radius of at least 500 kilometers is an absolute forbidden area for human beings.

Fortunately, it is not on the main route connecting the mainland, and a little attention will not have much impact on human shipping.

but.

On the S-shaped "Black Sea Middle Ridge", north of the center, there is a huge "sea basin" that suddenly goes down. No one knows how deep that "sea basin" is.

I only know that standing on the boat and looking down, it is a blackness like a bottomless abyss, which is completely different from the sea surface at other positions in the middle ridge.

Because of this particularity.

After the opening of the Age of Discovery, the Cyrus explorers who first discovered the New World through this place named it "The Eye of the Black Sea" and "The Source of the Ocean". They believed that this place, which is almost in the center of the Black Sea, is probably The original source of this entire sea!

But they don't know.

In ancient times, it already had its own name: "Eye of the Storm"!

And it was named after its former owner, the goddess of the Black Sea, Hipponoë!

This is also very normal. For ordinary humans, three hundred years is enough to witness the rise and fall of a country, let alone a name lost in the pile of historical relics.

However, from now on, humans will slowly remember this name.

Because its owner has returned.

Whirring whirring

The eye of the storm, which has been silent for three hundred years because of the master's departure, has begun to gradually recover. Although it is still far from changing the color of the sea and sky like it used to be, it is also steadily strengthening little by little.

Perhaps it will have little impact on sea navigation in a short period of time, but as the power of the Black Sea Goddess gradually radiates, no one will be able to ignore this subtle influence in the future.

Like the Summers Trench belonging to the "mother of sea monsters"!

Most importantly, just like the route that Sirius once took to discover the New World.

If a straight line is drawn between the "Kingdom of Cyrus" and the "Golden Sea", this huge "sea basin" called the eye of the storm is exactly at the center point of this line segment.

It's like a deadly nail, firmly nailed to the seven inches of Sirius' existing route!

Deep in the sea basin.

grunt grunt

A great beluga whale with white light flowing on its body led a group of humanoid creatures with gills, scales and webs behind it, slowly swimming past the edge of a magnificent city surrounded by a huge circular bubble dome.

Although there is only a piece of ruins left in this underwater city, from the size of ten kilometers in diameter, we can also see the prosperity of the city!

This is the former holy residence of Hipponoah, the underwater city "Heraclian"!

After 300 years, there are finally people living here again.

A large number of nine-fingered men who originally belonged to pirates and are now under the command of the goddess to prepare Raging Wave priests are busy in the ruins.

Clean up the original ruins little by little, and slowly restore the place to its original appearance.

but.

In addition to these human beings, there are quite a few non-human beings active here.

With thick long hair like seaweed, ears replaced by fin leaves, sharp teeth, and a beautiful female sea goblin in appearance;

Tall, muscular torrent murlocs with gills, scales, and webs;

The shortest is more than three meters, the blue skin is covered with strange patterns, and there are always lightning flashing storm genies around him;

Even the body is translucent blue, and the dress has spread throughout the ages, like a drowned soul made of fog or water.

Of course, there is also a group of wild sea monsters that are not under the control of the "Mother of Sea Monsters"!

As the earliest God of the Black Sea in human history, Hipponoë is obviously not a vegetarian. He has subdued a large number of powerful and extraordinary creatures living in the unknown areas of the ocean just after his return.

And what is his purpose for summoning these creatures?

The answer is obvious.
