Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 413 Forbidden Sea!

"Since the emergency notice was issued in the Cordo Communiqué, nearly a hundred ships have docked at the ports of Alexei Island."

"Only a quarter of them are pirates, and the rest are noble merchant ships in the deep sea from various continents."

Before coming, Mitra had someone collect relevant data and list them one by one.

"At the same time, some personnel from the outer islands have contacted us, especially the pirate ships related to the Black Pearl."

"They hope to have a place on the island that will at least allow their ships to dock in the port..."

"It is estimated that within three days, the number of people on the island will double, and the number will even be much higher than during the war between the Alaniga and the Black Pearl."

"The above is the current impact of the giant deep-sea mutants on us."

Wei En was silent for a few seconds, then asked calmly, "What about intelligence?"

"In addition to the Cordo Communiqué, I also purchased relevant intelligence from various intelligence agencies. The result is..."

Mitra looked at the men and said hesitantly, "The result is not good."

"From the intelligence, this doomsday crisis is not just a prophecy."

"Not only are there reports of many giant deep-sea mutants attacking ships, but there are also several anomalies in the 'forbidden sea'."

"'Forbidden Sea'? Tell me in detail." Wayne interrupted, thinking of the prophecy.

"Yes,"

Mitra then took out a map of the Cordo Sea and pointed to several sea areas marked by black skulls.

"Master, look."

"There are currently twelve known 'forbidden seas', four in the southern seas, three in the western seas, two in the northern seas, and three in the eastern seas."

Mitra's fingers moved across the symbols on the map one by one. After a pause, seeing that Wayne did not respond, she continued:
"And among those intelligence reports, there have been some changes in five 'forbidden sea areas'."

"In chronological order, the 'Devil's Island' in the southern waters was the first to be discovered to be abnormal. Some people photographed some strange-looking creatures there, like this one."

Mitra spread a photo on the map and landed on a "forbidden sea" marked by a skull in the southern sea.

Wei En looked over and a hint of thought flashed across his eyes.

I seemed to have seen it somewhere before - the photo showed a humanoid creature with a goat's head, and its limbs were bent like those of a reptile walking upright.

It is worth mentioning that its entire body is black...

"The Black Goat..."

Wei En recalled that he had some impression of this image and he must have seen it somewhere before.

"Where is it?"

"black goat?!"

At this time, Carly came closer and pointed at the photo with a surprised tone, saying: "Melbel, come and take a look, is this that race?"

Melbell glanced at it and nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, it is the black goat recorded in the covenant."

"That's right," Carly nodded, "They are the Black Goat Clan that were hostile to Dawn in the Fourth Era!"

"I thought they had been wiped out since then, but I didn't expect them to hide in the sea, and even in the 'forbidden sea'."

"No wonder it has not been discovered for so many years."

Black Goat, Covenant?

A memory suddenly emerged in Wayne's mind, and he suddenly remembered where he had seen this strange creature!
——Castor City-State, Krims Cathedral!

I remember that at that time, Carly said that the Church of Dawn was almost destroyed by these monsters.

And the reliefs in the church also confirm this!
"So what are their abilities?"

"This..." Carly thought about it for a moment and shook her head: "I need to contact the Sanctuary and look for the records of the Epoch Relics to find out."

Wayne nodded and gestured for Mitra to continue.

"The second 'Forbidden Sea' anomaly is also in the southern sea area, and it corresponds to the previous 'Devil's Island' in the east and west. It is here."

Mitra pointed to the other side of the map, which happened to be one location in the southwest and one in the southeast sea area.

"This place is called 'Dark Pool'. I looked up the records about it in the deep sea, but they were all vague."

"It's just that there is a huge bottomless gap in there, and seawater is flowing back all the time. It has never been filled up in all these years."

"'Dark Pool'..."

Wei En thought thoughtfully, no wonder it was called the 'Forbidden Sea'.

It’s a place as deep and bottomless as an abyss. I’m afraid that anything that goes in will never be able to get out, right?

"And this time, the change is exactly that most unlikely place, which has become possible!"

Mitra pulled out another photo.

The photo shows that there is a water column stretching for thousands of miles rising into the sky!

Wei En moved closer and said, "This is..."

"Master, this is the 'Dark Pool'. But now it no longer swallows up the sea water, but gushes outwards!"

Mitra looked a little more serious and continued, "According to the person who provided the information, the water column that washed up was not just seawater."

"There are also deep-sea species and mutant species that have been devoured by it over the countless years, as well as some dead that look like ghost ships!"

"Undead?" Wei En was stunned for a moment. "You mean, all the creatures that died in there may have turned into immortal undead?"

"That's indeed possible." Mitra confirmed: "In short, that place has now become a completely restricted area."

"However, according to the current observation results, after those creatures came out, they did not come to the northern seas, but went directly south to the southern continent."

"I wonder if there is something behind this manipulating them..."

Going south...

Wei En's expression changed, and he thought of a picture he saw in the "River of Destiny". There were indeed some strange phantoms of pirate ships appearing on it, and the ones fighting against them were none other than the Shadow School of the Southern Continent.

At first he thought it was the power of the Shadow School's spells, but now it seems that they all came from the "Dark Pool"!
"continue."

"The third place is the western sea area. There is only one 'forbidden sea area' there, called 'Misty Valley'. But in fact, it is not a canyon on land, but a deep trench hidden under the deep sea."

"That area has always been the favorite area for adventurers in the deep sea to explore. There are many relics from previous eras..."

As Mitra narrated the story one by one, these "forbidden waters" in the deep sea seemed to be controlled by some strange thing, and strange changes occurred one after another.

Almost every one of them violates the previous taboo rules and becomes more terrifying.

But the most terrifying thing is that, without exception, these "forbidden waters" have been expanding to the surrounding areas after the mutations, further eroding the originally relatively calm deep sea.

"In addition to those giant deep-sea mutants, the entire deep sea is also facing the threat of these 'forbidden waters'."

"In this way..."

Wayne frowned slightly. He could imagine that in the next period of time, Alexei Island would be flooded with ships fleeing in the deep sea.

Even though those people came to escape the disaster, Alexei Island is so small that it is impossible to accept everyone indefinitely...

"Mitra, contact other intelligence offices now and ask if there is a rune array that can directly teleport to the mainland."

"No matter if it's blueprints, notebooks, or scientific research reports that only exist in theory, it's all fine!"

The first thing Wayne thought of was to transfer those people who came to the island.

He had no intention of rescuing everyone, but he couldn't just watch the disaster in the deep sea cause the deaths of so many people.

It would be better to save as many as possible.

"Okay, I'll ask the sect first." Mitra nodded. "Ubli, in view of the current taboos, starting today, ships docked on the island will be strictly inspected."

Wei En said seriously, "We must not let those evil transcendents land on the island."

"clear."

"Also, Old Jack, find a way to gather some people and build a temporary stop within 500 kilometers outside Alexei Island."

"temporary?"

Everyone was stunned, not understanding the purpose of doing this.

"I have a feeling that in the coming time, a lot of ships will want to dock at Alexei Island."

Wayne explained: "We can't accept everyone, but we can't let them take risks in the deep sea either."

"Anyway, let them dock there first."

"Once danger comes, we can temporarily let them go to the island to hide, and then let them return to the ship after the danger is resolved."

Old Jack's expression changed slightly. He looked at Wei En seriously, bowed and said, "Please rest assured, I will complete this matter as soon as possible."

"We at the Storm Church can help with this matter." Cecilis suddenly said:

"Wizard Wayne, since we are here, we will fully support all your decisions."

"Okay." Wei En did not refuse, "Thank you."

"We can do Dawn too...right..." Carly echoed somewhat unconfidently.

"It's enough for now." Wei En glanced at her and shook his head, "We should get some relevant information from the Holy Land as soon as possible."

"The key is to get a way to deal with the monsters from the Black Goat Clan, or a large rune array that can teleport over long distances."

"it is good."

Carly took a deep breath and agreed: "I will definitely ask the Sanctuary to do their best to help."

hope……

Melbelle secretly curled his lips, and could only hope.

If this was said by Saint Hero, Xizi Sepulda, it would be fine, but when His Majesty said this...

"Okay, I believe everyone has understood the current situation, so go and get busy."

Wayne clapped his hands, "I still have to go meet with Legend Salvatore and the others. See you later."

"it is good."

With that, everyone dispersed.

While Wayne had made the relevant arrangements, Xizi and Eve had contacted their respective leaders in the Cathedral of Dawn and Cathedral of Storms not far away.

They came to a unified conclusion:

[Dawn/Storm will not send its main force to rescue this deep sea crisis! ]

Eve and Xizi, who were about to go to the castle to inform, met each other and saw the solemn expressions on each other's faces.

"You Dawn/Storm too..."

The two of them shut their mouths at the same time, without continuing to speak, as they already knew that there might be something else hidden behind this deep-sea doomsday that they didn't know about.

"I will follow Wizard Wayne's instructions and cooperate with him to the fullest." Eve took a deep breath and said, "What about you?"

Xizi frowned, she understood the meaning of the other party's words.

This was asking her to make a choice: to stand idly by as the Sanctuary wished, or to participate in this disaster in the deep sea as a member of the Alexei Island Guard.

"It seems that your dawn... doesn't seem so glorious..."

Without waiting for an answer, Eve looked at her deeply, turned around and continued to rush towards the high wall.

Xizi looked at her back, her expression still calm.

黎明… …

……

……

Not long after, Wayne found Salvatore and others.

At this moment, the expedition wizards who had just repelled the Twilight Sect and the Level 5 Disaster Species that was on the verge of promotion also had serious expressions and the atmosphere was heavy.

"You already know the legend of Sarai?"

"Sit down and talk, Wayne."

Salvatore nodded, fine wrinkles appeared on his handsome face, and he said with a little fatigue:
"I have just contacted Armitage, and the intelligence departments of the Spiritual Secret and Blood Spirit Schools have also passed on their respective intelligence. Let's take a look together."

As Wayne took his seat, the wizards also joined in the discussion of the deep-sea anomaly.

"The Legend of Sarai, I think this is the work of the Twilight Cult!"

"There are three reasons. First, those giant deep-sea disaster species are likely to be similar to the ones we saw last night. They were promoted by the killing intent alchemy array they mastered."

"The second is about the 'forbidden sea'. Don't forget that before the expedition, the Twilight Cult had artificially created a sea taboo like the 'killing dream'."

"Finally, it is based on what the false god said last night. Since he dared to carry out the sacrificial ceremony when his plan failed, he must have a backup plan..."

The wizards expressed their opinions, and it seemed that all of them were directed at the Twilight Cult.

But perhaps only Wayne knows that in this deep-sea doomsday disaster, the influence is far more than just the Dusk Sect.

At this moment, the scenes he saw on the "River of Destiny" came to his mind.

On Red Moon Island, the Red Moon Church fights those wearing golden masks.

In the southern continent, the School of Shadows and the Church of the Earth are conquering the Ghosts and the Black Goat Tribe.

The situation in the East Continent was more like a natural disaster. A giant tsunami swept through, and all major city-states along the coastline were threatened.

And in the North Continent and the West Continent...

Wei En thought back carefully, and it seemed that the most peaceful place was the Western Continent...

"Wayne, what's your suggestion?"

At this moment, Salvatore raised his hand to signal others to be quiet, and looked at Wei En and said, "Tell me what you think."

Wei En came back to his senses, glanced around and said, "I think the deep sea doomsday this time should not be caused by the Twilight Sect..."

"In other words, it's not just this group of forces that are responsible. There must be other black hands hiding behind the scenes!"

"What do you know?"

Salvatore asked.

"I……"

Wei En thought of those scenes, made a decision in his heart, and said bluntly:
"I received a warning from the 'River of Destiny' and heard something beyond the prophecy!"

When sharing the intelligence just now, he had already learned from other people that the "River of Destiny" warning he received was more comprehensive and detailed, and not that specious statement.

"Different?" The fate divination system wizard of the Spiritual Mystic School asked in surprise: "What is the content?"

The other wizards also looked at Wayne.

Wei En was silent for a few seconds, then slowly spoke:
"I saw……"
