The sky is gloomy and cold, not to mention that it has entered a cold winter at this time, but the old day has fallen. After the sky has cracks, the whole world will rarely see the sun.
Of course, for the blood race, this may be good news. The thick dark clouds allow them to preserve part of their strength during the day.
The violent wind was mixed with snow and ice, and it slapped the magic shield like a knife
Under Castro's supersonic speed, the magic shield was abruptly pulled into the shape of a big drop behind his head.
Castro's speed caused the landscape of the earth to move backwards. Reed looked down on the earth with scorching eyes, guiding Castro in the forward direction.
Although the intelligence command center had found news about the location of the demigod sea beast, he decided to visit the Blue Star tribe first.
The Blue Star Tribe is the murloc tribe that has been cooperating with the City of Dawn. The mixed-blood mermaid, Kasrina, was exchanged with a murloc of the Blue Star Tribe with an octopus with golden blood before Reed.
The reason why the City of Dawn came to the Lost Seas was the emergence of the Undead Empire, coupled with the invasion of the Orcs and the murlocs attacking the coastline of Norland Empire, these events led to a shortage of magical raw materials for the Scarlet Mage Tower.
That's why Reed sent people to the Lost Sea to find partners and provide magic materials for the city of Dawn.
The cooperation between Dawn City and the Blue Star Tribe was negotiated after he had a fight with each other.
Later, with the passage of time, the Blue Star tribe became more and more prosperous with the support of the powerful alchemy, magic, and technological strength of the City of Dawn.
So far, the Blue Star Tribe has been one of the giants lost in the coast.
As for why it is the coast instead of the deep sea, it is because the life in the deep sea is too terrifying, and the Blue Star tribe does not have this strength yet.
In order to facilitate the transaction between the two sides, the City of Dawn and the Blue Star tribe jointly built a city on the coast.
At the beginning, Reed sent Guido Blackwind to build a Centaur empire, and there was also an idea to protect the city.
Although there is no centaur now, the murloc tribe has also sent a large number of troops to garrison, and the safety of this city is not a problem.
With map markers, Reed easily found the coastal city on the coastline that he had never been to-the City of Blue Star.
Although the old days have come and the outside is perilous, the trade between the City of Dawn and the Murloc Tribe has not stopped.
Instead, in order to increase the inventory of magic materials, the demand for materials in the city of Dawn has recently been much higher than usual.
Huhu~
When Castro, with a wingspan of twenty blades, appeared above the Blue Star City like a giant steel beast, it immediately caused a lot of riots.
Woo~
The short horn sounded, and the soldiers on the city wall began to fill the siege ballista. Everyone watched the enemy with extraordinary aura with great tension.
An extraordinary monster is enough to destroy a city.
Reed was not interested in conflicts with these fighters and directly drove Castro into the city. The supersonic cruise simply made the city guards unable to react.
Then, in an exclamation, he came to the central square of Blue Star City.
Huhu~
When the giant steel beast landed steadily, many people watched immediately.
In addition to trading with the Blue Star tribe, Dawn City also formed an alliance with more than a dozen murloc tribes around the Lost Coast.
Therefore, in addition to the murlocs of the Blue Star tribe, there are also many marine life in the Blue Star City. The mackerel tribe, the killer whale tribe, the lobster man, the manatee tribe, etc. etc., the sea is far more than the murlocs. A kind of life.
The city has become a place for various tribes to trade with each other.
Because the interests involved are very large, all guards are quite strict.
Even at the moment Castro landed on the square, he sensed that a life that reached an extraordinary level immediately exuded a powerful aura.
This extraordinary Reed is also familiar. The other party is the patriarch of the Blue Star tribe. According to intelligence, she gained a lot of improvement during the last sea sacrifice.
The most important thing about Reed coming here this time is to ask about the Seagod, the chief of the Blue Star tribe.
Floating down from Castro, looking at the malicious marine and murloc warriors who had surrounded him, his expression was very calm.
"Where are Amia and Ivey?"
The tone resounded throughout the city under the blessing of magic.
The surrounding Sea Clan was stunned when they heard this.
Who is this person? Dare to call the names of Lord Amiya and Lord Ivey.
But after only a moment, brush it~
Two figures galloped from the sky, and then fell steadily in front of Reed.
"Good day, under the crown, the City of Blue Star welcomes you..."
Ivey watched Reed with surprise and admiration.
Wearing a black mage robe, with long black hair, and an elegant temperament, the second-generation blood is the lord of the Blue Star City and the representative of the city of Breaking Dawn.
Reed originally had a total of 7 second-generation descents, and Ivy was one of them. She and another second-generation descent-Lucy were the only two of the first seven second-generation descents. Female descent.
"City Lord Kachar, good day, your arrival will make the Blue Star City shine!"
At this moment, a mermaid with a lower body of a fish body next to Ivey and a human body on the upper body now respectfully speaks.
Amiya Blue Star, the patriarch of the Blue Star tribe.
This mermaid once played against Reed, and at this time he exudes an extraordinary aura, and his strength is not weak.
The appearance of the mermaid is very obvious, with long blue hair floating in the air softly, as if immersed in sea water all the time, full of dreamlike feeling.
What is striking is that at this time, Amiya was slightly floating in the air, and did not stand on the ground.
Looking at the indifferent Reed, the mermaid patriarch did not have the slightest surprise at this time, but was a little nervous.
The two parties working with the City of Dawn are each taking what they need. Although sufficient trust has been established in a few years, it is limited to transactions.
Reed, as the master of the breaking dawn, has overwhelming authority, and his arrival will certainly not be without reason.
The city of dawn is no longer the city of dawn she first came into contact with.
A few months ago, when I heard from Ivey that the true identity of Reed is the God of Dawn, and has tens of millions of believers, and there are already several legends under his command, Amiya’s attitude towards the number of cooperation The partner of the year has already begun to change.
When the surrounding sea people heard the words of Ivy and Amiya, they were in an uproar.
This handsome human mage turned out to be the legendary master of dawn.
Suddenly, one by one looked curiously at Reed and Castro behind him.
Worthy of being the Lord of Dawn, the mounts are all extraordinary beings...
Although the ocean is rich in resources and has a lot of high-level combat power, the existence of the extraordinary level is definitely a life standing at the top of the food chain. Now it is just a mount...
This arrogance immediately gave them a new understanding of the city of dawn.
Of course, if they knew that there was still a level 36 Seraph of Death hidden in the dimensional space beside Reed, they would be blinded...
Reed slightly nodded towards the two of them, and then stretched out his right hand, just when everyone was puzzled, his wingspan was twenty-edged behind him, and Castro, who was as strong as a mountain, shook suddenly.
Immediately, the body shrank quickly under everyone's gaze, and turned into a half-slap-sized mini bat, flew to the side of Reed and landed on the hand.
Then this extraordinary behemoth was put into the clothes by Reed at will.
This scene made the surrounding sea people amazed again. Is this the master of breaking dawn? Bull breaking...
Such a huge behemoth can become such a small, long-sighted.
Reed ignored the surprised gazes of the surrounding crowd, and looked at the two figures in front of him with a smile.
"Long time no see, Patriarch Amiya."
After speaking, look at Ivy of female descent.
"Ivey, take me to the Castle Lord's Manor, I want you to have something important."
"Yes, under the crown."
After hearing this, Ivey hurriedly called the next person to open the way, and then led Reed to the Castle Manor
Although it may not take much time to ask about the demigod sea beasts, you can't just stand in the square and ask questions like that. This is too demeaning.
Amiya immediately followed when she saw it, but this mermaid who had reached the extraordinary was very nervous at the moment.
The extraordinary perception is already very keen, although Reed did not take the initiative to exude coercion, she could still feel the legendary aura of him after getting close to Reed.
It was as if the blade was resting on her neck, making her restless.
Level 20 is in front of the legend of level 28, so it is strange to be stable.
Of course, the deeper reason is that the city of Dawn is no longer a monster that the Blue Star Tribe can handle.
When facing the strong that she can't contend, she will naturally feel nervous.
Even Amiya had a kind of self-consciousness that if it weren't for the blue star tribe's deep sea, which had the sea as a natural refuge, they would have been controlled by the city of dawn.
Glory is not the earth, the earth is protected by law, and both parties in the transaction can rely on state agencies to ensure relative equality.
The glory trade is all dependent on strength. Whoever has the strongest strength has the absolute initiative. Even if the strength is too different, the weaker party may even be deprived of the right to speak.
Although the cooperation between the Blue Star Tribe and the City of Dawn is still equal, as the strength of the two parties further expands, secretly it is already unequal.
As the patriarch of the Blue Star tribe, Amiya needs to sit in the City of Blue Star in person, which has already explained many things.
With rolling thoughts, Amiya followed Reed and Ivey to the Castle Manor.
In the luxurious hall, Reed took the lead.
Amiya and Ivey are sitting side by side, their moods are different at this time.
After Reed took its seat, it didn't make much politeness, and directly expressed its intention.
"Amiya, I believe you also know that I have been searching for news about Poseidon.
As the patriarch of the Blue Star tribe, you have participated in the Sea God Festival several times. I believe you know enough about the Sea God. "
The intelligence command center had also sent people to contact Amiya, but because of the high status of the other party, the information the spies asked about was almost the same as that obtained from other places, and it was not very useful.
So Reed will come here in person.
The mermaid patriarch dared to conceal other people, but absolutely did not dare to conceal him, the other party did not have the courage, nor the ability.
The weak feed on the strong, and the natural selection is competitive. The world has always been so cruel. The strong always have absolute control over the weak.
Amiya's expression slightly relaxed when she heard the words, but fortunately, she only asked about these things, not the others.
After the mermaid pondered for a moment, he said slowly.
"City Lord Kachar, I don't know much about the Seagod..."
"Talk about the point." Reed raised his brows, and the breath on his body flashed away. He wasn't here to listen to nonsense.
Feeling the horror in Reed, Amiya's heart trembled, and she quickly spoke.
"City Lord Kachar, I did not deceive you. Every time the Sea God sacrifices, the Sea God sleeping in the sea will not appear. After the sacrifice we killed is thrown into the sea, it will disappear without a trace."
"But if the sacrifice satisfies the Seagod, he will select a few from the people who offered the sacrifice to give them powerful power.
I was given power during the last Seagod Sacrifice, which made me break through the extraordinary not long ago. "
Looking at Amiya who didn't look like a liar, Reed couldn't help but frowned.
This situation is almost the same as the information he has collected.
Is this trip for nothing?
"During the sacrifice, is there any spell or a way to call the other party?"
Amiya shook her head.
"No, on the day of the Poseidon Festival, the Poseidon will appear by himself."
"Then is there any way to find where the Seagod is sleeping?"
"No, the Seagod is too powerful and terrifying. We never dare to stay in that sea area. Whether the other party wakes up or sleeps, we can't see it..."
"..."
Finally, after asking for a long time, Reed was depressed to find that Amia was not telling the truth, but the mermaid patriarch really didn't know.
This is also outrageous. The sea sacrifice has a history of hundreds of thousands of years, and each time it is only passive when the time is up to sacrifice...I don't know how to actively explore it.
No wonder these murlocs are so backward in technology and magic, this kind of thinking... is too slow.
Just when Reed was about to give up, go directly to the place where the sea was sacrificed to find out.
Amiya's unintentional words raised his heart.
"City Lord Kachar, it seems that Poseidon is more interested in crustaceans and crabs.
The big reason why I got the Poseidon's reward last time was that in addition to the golden octopus I traded with you, I also captured a giant crab with golden blood. "
"Later, I listened carefully, and the other people who were empowered with me also sacrificed crustaceans and crab life..."
Crab life? crab?
Hearing these words, Reed immediately remembered the crab that liked to spit bubbles when I went to explore the ruins of the gods with the elves and Lady Red Eyes.
And that crab is also a demigod existence.
What impressed him the most was that each bubble of the other party contained a space, and the relics of the gods they wanted to explore were hidden in a bubble of crabs, which was wonderful to say.
But the only problem is that the elf led the team at first, because the sea that flew out was far away, he didn't record the location of the crab.
And even remembering is not necessarily useful. After such a long time, the other party may not be there.
But no matter what, I finally found some traces.
With ideas in mind, Reed no longer hesitated.
"This information is very important, Patriarch Amiya, you have done a good job. I hope that under your leadership, the Blue Star tribe can have more in-depth cooperation with the City of Dawn."
Amiya, who was praised by Reed, felt flattered and immediately stood up to respond.
"It should be like this, Lord Kachar, this is our honor."
Reed nodded, and after a deep glance at Amiya, he stopped talking and got up and went straight out.
Ivy and Amiya sent off immediately.
When Reed rode Castro disappeared over the Blue Star City, Amiya was suddenly relieved.
Although the time to deal with Reed was only half an hour, it made her feel unusually tormented.
Facing a legend, a terrifying existence that can kill her at any time, there is no need to say more about the inner pressure.
Moreover, murlocs and kinsman are not related races, she is really worried that Reed will be upset and turn her face.
However, she was slightly relieved that although Reed was getting stronger and stronger, from his attitude, Dawn City's approach to the Murloc tribe had not changed much.
In fact, Amiya is so concerned about the attitude of Reed, in addition to his strong strength, this mermaid patriarch also has other thoughts deep in his heart.
After the old days came, the cracks in the sky grew bigger and bigger, and she could clearly perceive the old threats.
Originally, she didn't care too much, but half a month ago, an incident completely changed her mind.
Half a month ago, not far from the territorial sea controlled by the Blue Star tribe, an old evil descended on the main plane suddenly appeared. The other party seemed to be looking for something, but could not find it.
The furious old evil directly slaughtered the lives of half of the sea.
The killer whale tribe with the same strength as the Blue Star tribe was directly annihilated, and the water has not dispersed after a week of floating red.
This incident brought her inner crisis to its peak.
Although the Blue Star Tribe is located in the sea, with the ocean as a natural barrier, it does not seem to have much to worry about on the surface, but reality has told her that when facing the absolute strong, the weak have no room for resistance.
And as time goes by, the future situation will inevitably deteriorate further, which is a visible threat to her and even the entire lost sea.
So she has been guarding the City of Blue Star, and she has no intention of continuing to deepen the cooperation with the City of Dawn.
The Blue Star tribe needs the protection of the strong.
And the God of Dawn, who has tens of millions of believers, is the most powerful existence she can touch.
According to normal judgment, the best choice is to take refuge in the Murloc Empire near the side of the deep sea.
But when she learned that the city of Dawn was now strong, she quietly changed her mind.
The high-end combat power of the Murloc Empire may not be comparable to the City of Dawn.
Moreover, there are too many threats in the deep sea. Once the changes occur, only the strength of the Blue Star tribe cannot cope with them, and she does not believe that the Murloc Empire will really protect them.
Although the Blue Star tribe is powerful on the coast, it is not worth mentioning in the deep sea.
In comparison, if they can get the blessing of the city of dawn, maybe they can live better...
But the only thing that tangled Amiya right now was that the city of dawn was too far away from the sea.
Even at this moment, the Blue Star tribe has taken refuge in the City of Dawn, they cannot move to the interior...
This fatal key factor is why she has been unable to make a decision.



Reed, who has already left the city of Blue Star, naturally didn't know that Amia had the intention of taking refuge in the city of dawn. At this time, he was facing the map and guiding Castro to his destination.
The location of the Poseidon offering.
The Sea God Festival is held every ten years, and the last time was four years ago.
According to the inference of the Intelligence Command Center, awakening Poseidon in advance requires a lot of flesh and blood of high-level lives.
And Amiya just said that the demigod-level sea beast may have a soft spot for high-level crab life...
This allowed Reed to focus on the ancient space crab that I had seen before.
But now, let's go and see first. If you can find the sea hidden in the dimension space, it's best. If you can't find it, you can grab the ancient space crab and sacrifice it.
The vast sea is vast, and the city of Blue Star is 2,000 kilometers away from the place where the sea gods worship.
Fortunately, the map drawn by the Intelligence Command Center was more detailed. After passing through some iconic islands, Reed made several detours, and arrived there about one and a half hours later.
The specific coordinates of the Poseidon Sacrifice are in front of a circular island.
The island was named Poseidon Island, and it was extremely round and round, as if it were drawn with a compass, and it was very easy to identify.
You only need to sacrifice ten kilometers in front of Seagod Island, and you can be sensed by that demigod seagod.
The sea sacrifices in the past are all like this.
After Reed arrived at the destination, it did not hunt sea beasts for sacrifice, but floated out of Castro and galloped towards the rough sea.
When he arrived at the designated location, he floated on the sea level out of thin air.
The tentacles of mental power like an octopus began to spread out unscrupulously.
At the same time, his coercion as a legendary powerhouse began to spread.
"The humble sea beast, I am the lord of the ocean, come out to see and bow to worship!!"
The ancient blasphemous language rushed away with a strong mental impact.
The unbridled breath of Reed can be felt within dozens of miles around.
Some of the marine life swimming around suddenly shivered and dived towards the seabed, and the surrounding seabirds were also frightened and fled screaming.
Only blasphemous words in this sea area are constantly echoing...
One minute.
Two minutes.
Ten minutes later, Reed stopped blasphemy.
At this time, apart from the sea breeze and waves beating, there was no other movement, and even the marine life was far away from this sea area due to the pressure of the legendary powerhouse.
The scene was a little embarrassing inexplicably.
The corner of his mouth twitched in Reed, this little boy hid it quite deep...
Provocation failed...
With a dry cough, he turned to look aside.
"Freya, go down to the bottom of the sea and look for it, and see if you can find the sleeping place of the sea god."
After the words fell, the peaceful space around him cracked ~ directly shattered.
Freya, the twelve-winged death seraph, wore a black angel armor, and appeared in a heroic figure.
"Follow your orders, dominate."
After speaking, Freya flew up suddenly, and then under the gaze of Reed, her body fell straight toward the sea like a meteor.
Bang~
The moment Freya slammed on the surface of the sea, hundreds of meters of waves burst around, as if a depth-water bomb weighing 10,000 tons was thrown into the sea, majestic and turbulent.
There was an exaggerated tsunami rushing towards the distance, everything was swallowed up.
Even because the impact was too terrifying, a huge vacuum appeared at the place of the fall, and the surrounding sea began to flow in frantically at this moment.
Cuckoo ~ directly formed a death vortex.
The scene looks like myths and legends recorded on the murals, shocking people.
However, I have seen Freya's peerless scene of cutting the Tongtian Mountains with a sword in the plague kingdom, Reed still maintains enough calmness.
This 36-level horror existence, its true strength, until now he can't judge, only knows that the opponent is too strong.
For the next ten minutes or so, the surrounding waters for dozens of miles seemed to be disturbed by an ancient giant beast.
Wow! The water is muddy, and the sea is constantly surging with huge waves of dozens of blades high.
But what made Reed a little disappointed was that Freya made such a big movement, the sea still did not show the slightest breath.
"It seems that the other party is not asleep nearby... or even a pig should wake up."
After another moment, Freya also gave up this rough method, and stood before him spotlessly after rushing out of the waves.
"Master, there is no strong aura of life around, nor any traces of other planes..."
Reed nodded and was mentally prepared for it.
He did so much intelligence work before to deal with this situation.
"Since violence is not acceptable, follow the previous method.
We go to the deep sea to hunt some sea beasts for sacrifice..."
After making a decision, Reed didn't stay too much in this already muddled sea area, and re-ride Castro to the deep sea.
The lost sea is vast, and in the legend, reaching the deepest sea eye, there will be countless legendary sea beasts, and even gods...
Most of the legends are legends, but it is true that the deeper the deeper the sea beast, the stronger the strength.
But after coming to the sea, Reed seemed to run out of luck.
In the next three days, even if Reed continued to search the depths of the ocean, no powerful sea beasts could be found.
It seems that those sea beasts disappeared overnight.
In the end, just when he was a little impatient, he finally encountered two extraordinary-level monsters on an island, which was barely enough to make sacrifices.
But the experience of the past few days still surprised Reed.
He went deep into the sea for thousands of miles, but he didn't find any powerful sea beasts. It was too unscientific. It seemed so strange.
The ocean is rich in resources, and the probability of the birth of powerful life is much higher than that of the land. After the old days have come, the energy in the sky has become stronger. It stands to reason that there should be more powerful sea beasts. Now it is the opposite.
Although this has something to do with him not diving into the deep sea, it doesn't mean he can't even sense it, right?
Fortunately, the two extraordinary monsters are barely enough...
Reed couldn't find more high-level sea beasts and stopped looking for it, and took Freya back to the sea offering place in a rather unhappy mood.
After returning to the destination, he didn't hesitate. He directly asked Freya to tear the two extraordinary monsters into two and threw them into the sea.
The qi and blood of the extraordinary monsters contained extremely large energy, instantly making the marine life around dozens of miles eager to move.
But with Freya's breath enveloped the surroundings, those marine life didn't dare to approach it at all.
In the end, a huge circle was formed 20 kilometers away from the body of the extraordinary monster. Those marine life almost piled up into a mountain, but no one dared to cross the thunder pond.
But what made Reed frowned was that the imaginary scene of the arrival of the sea did not appear.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, waited for 5 full hours, from dusk to night.
The corpses of the two extraordinary monsters were soaked in the sea water, and the energy in the blood has begun to gradually dissipate...
Reed saw this scene a bit ugly.
"This Poseidon won't really fall asleep?"
Then, as if thinking of something, Freya calmed down to see if it worked.
He also wants to make the last effort.
After Freya's breath disappeared, Poseidon did not appear, but the marine life surrounding it seemed to be mad and rushed towards the corpses of the two extraordinary monsters with an extremely urgent mood.
Then a gluttonous feast began.
Reed didn't stop this, he still had the last glimmer of hope in his heart...
What made him sore was that it was gone, until the bodies of two extraordinary monsters were eaten up.
None of the sea beasts that obtained the fate slab fragments appeared.
Reed saw this scene, and I felt like buying instant noodles and found that there was no seasoning bag, eating raisins without pulp and only seeds. After the five-hour small movie opened, I found that it was a gourd baby... .
"You can't tell me if you take off your pants...
It’s not that hard to call first love out and open a room..."
Feeling depressed.
After a while, Reed seemed to think of something, and looked at Castro who was aside.
"Castro, you go to Grimm immediately and ask Betty if you can find the ancient space crab we encountered when we were exploring the ruins of the gods.
If Betty doesn’t know, tell Vina about our current situation..."
Amiya said that the sea beast liked crabs, but unfortunately, the location of the ancient space crab was not recorded in Reed.
At the beginning, it was the team led by the elves. Without a specific chart, he couldn't figure out the specific direction, and if the crab was hidden in the space like the sea god, where would he go to find it.
"Sure enough, this world is too magical. When Freya was invincible, we couldn't find an enemy..."
Reed looked up to the sky and sighed. There was no dragon slaying technique, but there was no dragon to slay. Is there anything more painful than this?
Castro was ordered to flap his wings and trigger.
Boom~ A series of gas explosions were pulled out in the air, and they disappeared before my eyes in an instant.
Seeing Castro's disappearing figure, Reed was a little bit dumbfounded.
When he came to Lost Seas, he was mentally prepared for Freya to fight against each other, until the sky fell apart and the water flowed back.
But now it's a woolen thread~EbookFREE.me~ The thing didn't even see the enemy anywhere.
After floating in the air for a while, when Reed was about to find a place to rest for a while with a little depressed mood, suddenly there was a strange horn sound from the depths of the lost sea.
Woo~
The voice was extremely sharp, like the roar of some kind of sea beast.
But by feeling, Reed can feel that this strange horn sound is made by some powerful equipment...
After the horn sounded, the bodies of the marine monsters who were still gnawing on the corpse were all stiff.
The low-level sea beasts were okay. Several of the level 15 sea beasts seemed to have received some kind of order, and immediately gave up eating and began to swim in the direction from the horn.
They are responding to the call of the horn.
Seeing this rather strange scene, Reed's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Is it because of the sound of the horn that I can't find a powerful sea beast in the deep sea?
Then who is blowing the horn to summon these sea beasts? ? "
"Did the demigod sea beast also responded to the horn? What about the fate slab fragment?"
He suddenly felt that the development of things now is a bit beyond expectations...
