“It’s alright. Have you noticed that none of these fishermen are paying attention to us?” Abyss said with a smile. “I cast an illusion on us before we came out, so the fishermen don’t even realize we’re here and will subconsciously ignore us.”
“I’ve already cast a divine spell on our Moonlight,” Flora reported at this moment. “When it leaves Helheim, no one here will even notice it.”
“Our operation will be completely covert.” Rebecca patted Leona on the shoulder. “You don’t need to worry about anything. Just enjoy the journey with us. Although our goal is to fight the Council of the Dead, we can still relax a bit along the way.”
“Hey, you’re right, I’m starting to act all crazy too.” Leona thought about it and realized it was true, so she patted Sheila beside her and said, “Sheila, let’s have some fun at sea this time.”
"What do you want to play?" Sheila asked.
"I don't know either, I've never been to sea before, but it must be a lot of fun." Leona shrugged. "ABC has brought everything we need, so we'll definitely have a lot of fun along the way."
Sophia and Agnes stood to one side, whispering to each other.
"Wait a minute... Agnes..."
"What's wrong."
"I remember reading a novel that described a ship that was incredibly large and luxurious. Our ship seems a bit small."
"It's spacious enough."
"This way I can't flirt with the Abyss like in the novels."
"The level of flirting can be proportionally reduced."
"Hey, you're right."
Although the Abyss had traveled across the entire continent, it had never set sail. The furthest it had ever gone before was when it followed the roots of the Sacred Tree to find the source of pollution. Not knowing what to bring on its voyage, the Abyss brought everything it could think of and everything it could collect in the City of Eternal Night. Its preparations for this trip were quite thorough.
The group arrived at a suitable spot in the natural harbor and prepared to launch the Moonlight.
A huge rift opened up, and the people in Helheim were already prepared. As the rift opened, the bow of the Moonlight slowly emerged from it.
This was a snow-white ship, largely constructed from a new material developed by Rebecca's team. This material, somewhat similar to the bone magic used in the Abyss, was lightweight yet incredibly strong, and easily repairable without requiring magic. Under the cover of divine magic, the ship slid into the water through a spatial rift, creating splashes, but attracting no attention from outsiders.
"Oh! It's in the water!" Leona exclaimed, hands on her hips, admiring the first ship produced by Eternal Night City. "Hmm, it's very beautiful, and it suits my princess's temperament perfectly. I wish it were a little bigger."
“This size was designed by the artisans of Eternal Night City. It’s just right; we won’t feel crowded or too empty inside,” Abyss said earnestly to Leona. “If it were too big, it would feel too empty.”
“Once we don’t have to fight anymore, we’ll build a big ship, invite more people, and set sail together!” Leona said. “We’ll conquer the Storm Sea sooner or later! We might even discover another continent on the other side of the planet.”
“You’ll have to ask Agnes; she knows our planet best,” Abyss chuckled.
When Agnes heard Abyss mention her, she said, "There are indeed some large islands on the other side of the continent, but they are not the continent. I don't know what they look like."
"Let's get on board without delay." Before Leona could react, Abyss grabbed Flora and Rebecca by the waists on either side and hopped them onto the ship.
Caught off guard, Leona retaliated by grabbing Sheila and jumping onto the ship. Sophia, on the other hand, was lifted onto the ship by Agnes's magic.
“Remember what we said before we came out? Everyone play rock-paper-scissors, and whoever loses goes first,” Abyss said after everyone had boarded the boat.
Everyone nodded. This was what they had agreed upon beforehand. Since the boat was manned, people needed to take turns rowing. Except for Sheila, who only had the physical strength of an ordinary person and could not row, everyone else could do the job. Therefore, the first person to row would be chosen by rock-paper-scissors.
Sheila consciously stood to the side, watching Abyss and the others form a circle.
"Rock, paper, scissors!"
Everyone threw rock, except for one little hand which threw scissors.
Leona blinked and looked at the others beside her: "Wait a minute, shouldn't you all be the first to play scissors in this game? Shouldn't the first round be a draw with everyone playing scissors?"
"Really? I don't really know." Abyss said with an innocent smile.
"Leona, then the job of rowing us out to sea is up to you." Rebecca smiled contentedly and patted Leona on the back.
"Wait a minute! Why aren't you using scissors?! I'm not having it! I demand a rematch! No way!"
Chapter 247 Sheila's Homework During Her Trip
slam-la-
Driven by Leona's power, the oars on both sides of the Moonlight cleaved the water, providing the ship with powerful propulsion, allowing it to push through the waves and slowly move forward.
The ship's power source was an ingenious wheel; simply turning the wheel caused the oars to propel the boat as if rowed by a crew member. This design was quite inconvenient for ordinary people, as they simply couldn't turn the wheel, but it was no problem for the Abyss's crew.
Leona easily spun the wheel while chatting with the Abyss and the others. The craftsmen's special design also ensured that she wouldn't miss the scenery along the way, making her hard labor life seem less arduous.
After leaving the continent of Hai-Tver, the Moonlight sailed along the coast, where the scenery was quite beautiful.
Behind them stretched the long coastline of the mainland, with towers and castles standing tall amidst a thin veil of mist, receding further and further from the ships. Nearby were fishermen's boats, from which one could see the fishermen busily at work.
Ahead, the gentle sunlight shone, and the azure sea merged seamlessly with the sky. The waves lapped softly against the Moonlight, their sound soothing. The Abyss and his crew admired this scenery—a sight most mainlanders would never see in their lifetime—from the deck.
“I’ve never seen the sea like this before.” Sheila leaned on the railing at the bow of the ship, gazing at the beautiful scenery before her with emotion, and exclaimed in admiration, “I never imagined the sea could be so beautiful, it’s more vast than any land I’ve ever seen.”
“The vast majority of our planet is ocean,” Abis said, standing beside her. “Beyond the continents, there are many things we don’t know. I’m really looking forward to this trip; I feel like I can learn a lot of things I didn’t know before.”
“Yes, I think so too.” Sheila nodded.
“By the way, Sheila, you’ve grown a lot since you started traveling with the Abyss. You could go home and realize your dream of revitalizing your family. Why do you still want to travel with them? This journey to the Shadowlands is quite dangerous. The Abyss didn’t even take Carol with them.” Rebecca asked Sheila while admiring the sea view.
Sheila blinked and said, "Because I think the battle against the Council of the Dead might require my eyes. Although I don't know why I happen to have eyes that can withstand the illusions of the Lord of Delusion, as long as I can be of value, I think I should follow you."
Rebecca looked at Sheila and smiled approvingly. Sheila's character was something Rebecca admired. Although Sheila was just a girl from a poor noble family before meeting the Abyss and hadn't experienced any great hardships, she had a natural spirit of dedication and was naturally willing to prioritize the greater good.
This made Rebecca somewhat envious. In fact, Rebecca was a somewhat selfish person, and her ability to take many things lightly now was actually related to becoming an undead.
“Sheila also has some lessons to practice during this voyage,” Abyss said at this moment. “Sheila needs to figure out how to use the Eganda before we reach the Shadowlands.”
Sheila has not yet used the Eganda, and the Abyss is unaware of the consequences if she does. Therefore, out of protection, it had previously prevented her from easily using the Eganda to explore. The Abyss had previously had Sheila use a fake Eganda to deceive the Lord of Delusion, and the Lord of Delusion's reaction clearly told the Abyss that He did not want Sheila to see His true form.
Therefore, Sheila should now practice using the Eganda. The ship has been enchanted by Flora, and both the ship and everyone on board are now invisible. Even the Lord of Delusion shouldn't be able to easily see through divine power of the same level as himself and discover the specific actions of the Abyss's group.
“Yes, I know, I will definitely figure this out.” Sheila took out a lens from her clothes and said solemnly.
The Eganda pendant has now been encircled with metal and worn around Sheila's neck, allowing her to use it at any time.
“Use it with confidence. I’ve already seen the possibility of you using the Eganda in my dream. It is indeed very magical, but it won’t cause any danger,” Abyss smiled. “Of course, I didn’t see the possibility of you using the Eganda to observe the Lord of Delusion. That can’t be shown in my dream, so let’s not rush this matter.”
“Abyss is making things tense again.” Flora walked up behind Abyss and placed a cup of tea in his hands from behind. “Let’s relax and enjoy our rare holiday time.”
Flora also distributed tea to the others, and everyone relaxed under the influence of Flora's tea.
This boat trip was indeed a rare and precious vacation. Enjoying the gentle rocking of the waves, listening to the soothing sound of the surf, chatting, sipping tea and dining – this kind of life was very relaxing for everyone, especially since the recent threat from the Lord of Delusion had put us under a lot of stress.
“Flora is right, let’s take a good rest.” Rebecca took a sip of fragrant tea, stepped over the railing at the bow of the boat, sat down, and leisurely swung her legs. “Sheila, you sit down too. Don’t worry about falling, I’ll protect you.”
“Okay.” Sheila had been a little worried that she might fall off the railing when the ship rocked, but now that Rebecca had said so, she put aside her concerns and sat down next to Rebecca.
"Flora! I've finished my tea. I'd be very grateful if you could bring me a bag of delicious fries!" Leona's voice came from behind. Still rowing, she swirled the empty teacup in her free hand as she spoke to Flora.
"Honestly, this is such good tea, how come you drank it so fast?" Flora complained as she went over to get Leona some fries.
Abis let out a long sigh of relief, leaning against the railing and gazing at the azure sky. He, too, planned to take Flora's advice and relax properly.
Since setting his sights on defeating the creator god, Abyss has rarely enjoyed such leisurely days. Occasionally returning to a slower pace of life is quite nice.
"Abyss".
Just then, Agnes led Sophia over.
"Hmm? Agnes, Sophia, what's wrong?" Abyss turned his head and looked at the two of them.
“Sophia wants to flirt with you,” Agnes said succinctly.
Sofia's face immediately turned as red as a pomegranate: "Oh dear! How could you say that out loud... No, no! That's right too... No! Still wrong!"
Chapter 248 Dark Elf High-Quality Female Courtship
In the society of the Dark Elves, if a woman has a man she likes, she is expected to take the initiative to pursue him. Male Dark Elves generally do not initiate the offensive; if they have a woman they like, they usually choose to flirt with her subtly.
Sophia, who has chosen the Abyss as her ideal marriage partner, is now about to launch her offensive. She's still quite uncomfortable talking to boys, which is why she and Agnes spent a long time discussing it before finally mustering the courage to come forward.
As it turned out, Agnes was a woman who didn't mince words, and she immediately stated the purpose of Sophia's trip.
Fortunately, Abyss was completely oblivious to awkwardness. He didn't show any complicated expression when he heard Agnes say that. Instead, he nodded quite cheerfully and said, "Oh, you just want to chat with me, right? Of course. Miss Sophia was resurrected at a rather unfortunate time, so we haven't really gotten to know each other properly yet."
"Um... um... may I speak now?" Sophia saw Abyss stammering and unable to speak, so she quickly turned to Agnes beside her and asked.
Agnes looked up at Sophia, who looked nervous, and said softly, "Be brave."
Sophia immediately began her self-introduction with great nervousness: "Ah, ah... Hi, it's an honor to introduce myself here... This is an introduction about a high-quality dark elf female seeking a high-quality human male... Um, my surname is Kalindura, my name is Sophia, and I am an elf from the elven kingdoms..."
"Relax," Agnes gently tugged at Sophia's sleeve.
Sofia immediately realized that her manner of speaking seemed a bit strange, so she quickly changed her demeanor. She tried to recall how seasoned lovers flirted with women in public, while simultaneously trying to relax.
She rested one arm on the railing, her eyes darting around for a moment before finally looking at Abyss with what she considered the most handsome gaze, and said, "Hey, handsome young man, out having fun all by yourself?"
Agnes looked at Sophia, and this time she was speechless.
The other girls in Abyss were initially a little threatened when they saw Sophia taking such a proactive approach to flirting with Abyss, but now that they saw Sophia acting like she was there to make people laugh, they all relaxed.
“Not alone, but with my retinue—including you,” Abyss answered truthfully.
"Ah... that..." Sophia couldn't speak again.
“It’s okay, don’t be too nervous. We can just chat normally. You don’t seem to be very good at starting conversations, so how about I ask questions and you answer?” Abis smiled. “If I take the lead in the conversation, you won’t feel so much pressure.”
"Ahem... Okay, okay, I'll try to have a good chat." Sophia breathed a sigh of relief, as if she'd been pulled from a river. "I really don't know how to talk to guys..."
"It's alright, I'm good at chatting, just follow my lead," Abyss said with a smile.
Everyone looked at Abis, wondering what kind of excellent conversational skills he planned to use to get the nervous Sophia to chat normally.
"Does your family have ancestral graves?" Abyss asked as his first question.
"Pfft!" Rebecca, who was sipping her fragrant tea, couldn't help but spit it all over the sea when Abyss asked her question.
“Ancestral graves…yes.” Sophia was still incredibly nervous, and she answered Abyss’s question without much thought.
"When was your family's ancestral grave built?"
"I don't quite remember... I think Mom mentioned it before, but I didn't pay any attention to it... Wait, why are we talking about ancestral graves?"
Leona, who was rowing over there, was laughing so hard she was doubled over, trying her best not to make a sound.
Flora also covered her forehead.
“Let’s change the subject,” Agnes said softly but firmly to Abyss.
