Chapter 226 The First [Glorious Meeting]
"【Rhine Secret Realm】."
After saying this name, Xia En felt a strange feeling in his heart.
It seemed that the connection with the 【Empty Beast Heart Seal】had become closer, and it seemed that he had been recognized by this 【Secret Realm】.
【Secret Realm Exploration Degree +5%! 】
【Current Exploration Degree: 5.1%! 】
Seeing the two lines of information popping up in front of him, Xia En raised his eyebrows sharply.
Directly increased the exploration degree by 5%?
In Xia En's view, this exploration degree is equivalent to the development degree of the 【Rhine Secret Realm】.
At the same time, according to the effect of the 【Empty Beast Heart Seal】, the higher the exploration degree, the higher the blessing he gets in this world.
If it reaches 100%, maybe...he can really become the master of this 【Secret Realm】?
However, the efforts of the Yongyue people in the past ten days have only pushed the exploration degree by 0.1%.
It can be seen that the 【Rhine Secret Realm】 is vast.
Exploring and developing secret realms is destined to be a long process.
Giving a name can directly increase the exploration by 5%, which is a pleasant surprise.
"Rhine! This name is good!"
Sha Jingjing showed an excited expression.
This is the name of their new home, of course it is of great significance!
The reaction of several high priests was even more intense. They knelt on one knee and shouted excitedly: "Thank you for the name, Lord Saint!"
"We will become your sharpest spear and open up the territory of [Rhine Land] for you!"
Xia En couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
No matter how many times he has seen it, he is still a little uncomfortable with the fanatical attitude of the Yueyue people.
Xia En was going to leave, but suddenly remembered something and ordered.
"By the way, you must take good care of the small tree in the center of the valley."
As he said, he pointed to the center of the valley, where there was a small tree about two meters tall with dark red bark.
It was the reborn [Crimson Ancient Tree]!
Due to the excessive vitality in the [Rhine Secret Realm], the [Crimson Ancient Tree] grew better than Shane expected.
It took ten days to grow to this height.
As long as it is given enough time, it may not be impossible to reproduce the peak state in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm].
The high priests heard this and responded one after another: "I will follow your orders."
One high priest felt Shane's attention to the sapling.
He had personally touched the sapling and sensed the extraordinary secret power in it, so some other ideas came to his mind.
'Since the Holy Son attaches so much importance to this small tree, why not...'
'Take it as the sacred tree of the Moon Song Clan? '
'It not only complies with the orders of the Holy Son, but also can get the protection of this tree. '
If Shane knew his thoughts, he would definitely show a very strange expression.
The [Crimson Ancient Tree] clearly has a deep connection with the Blood Clan, so how come it has become the sacred tree of a group of werewolves now?
However, Shane was not aware of this bold idea.
He couldn't stand the fanatical eyes of the werewolves, so after a few simple instructions, he and Karles left the [Rhine Secret Realm].
Stepping out of the gate made of silver light, the two came to the coast of [Sand Island].
Not far away, several ships of the Federation were docked there.
Many secret pathers were moving some metal boxes made of alloy back and forth in an orderly manner.
Inside were the cut skeletons of the [Secret Sea and Sky Beast].
Because this special skeleton cannot be put into the space ring, the secret pathers of the Federation had to use this clumsy method to transport it.
It can be expected that.
After getting such a big credit, Karles's career in the Federation will definitely be smooth sailing.
He will continue to receive "investment" from the Federation, and his strength will definitely not slow down.
Xia En sighed: "Maybe when we meet next time, you will be a real legendary strongman."
Karles could not deny it, and smiled: "Why do I feel that you will be promoted to a legend earlier than me?"
Then, she changed the subject.
"I got the news. After I go back this time, I should be working in [Liuli Island]."
"After that, I'm afraid there will be few missions to go out to sea, and the chances of meeting will be even fewer."
[Liuli Island]
This name is not unfamiliar to Xia En, but it is very familiar to him.
The reason is very simple.
This island is one of the core islands of the Seven Seas Federation!
The Federal Parliament, the Federal Court, the Federal Research Institute, and an entire advanced and developed city are all located in the current [Liuli Island].
Ninety percent of the residents on the island are secret pathers, and there are several sixth- and seventh-level strongmen.
It can be said that the status of [Liuli Island] in the Federation is equivalent to the capital of a country, and it is the center of the entire Federation's economy and culture.
So much so that this island is also called "the brightest star on the Federation Star Wave Flag."
There, the developed port transports and trades goods worth tens of thousands of gold dragon coins every day, and the commercial system is extremely developed.
The latest steam technology, magic pattern props, and various secret arts collided on the island to create new sparks, transforming into nutrients for the growth of the huge federation.
Countless dreamers went there one after another, just to leave their mark in this "golden land".
Therefore, Karles was transferred to [Liuli Island], just like being promoted from a small county town to the capital, which is undoubtedly a great thing.
Only those who are truly valued by the federation can enjoy such treatment.
It also indirectly shows that she has a promising future.
Shane said sincerely: "Congratulations!"
However, Carlales's focus seemed a little strange, and she continued.
"Don't worry, I am a very dedicated mechanical armor. Even if you die, I will not let anyone other than you enter my body."
Shane: "..."
"If you need any help, you can contact me at any time."
"For example, in developing materials for [Ryan Secret Realm], I think there is a lot of room for cooperation between you and the Federation."
Faced with Carlales' advice, Shane straightened his face.
"I will consider it."
On second thought, if this [Platinum Knight] ascended to a high position within the Federation, then he would not be considered "someone above"?
At this time, on the sea not far away, a three-masted sailing ship with a black swan carved on its bow was heading towards the coast.
Seeing the ship, Carlales spewed out a burst of steam from under his visor, and said like a sigh.
"It's time to say goodbye."
"If you have time, I hope you can come to [Liuli Island], I'll wait for you there!"
Xia En nodded solemnly: "I will definitely go!"
After getting a positive answer, Carlles waved his hand generously and walked towards the direction of the federal ship.
...
...
Not long.
[Black Swan] docked at the coast.
Compared with more than ten days ago, the [Black Swan] at this time has changed a lot.
After being strengthened with the bones of [Secret Sea Beast] as the main material, its width and length have not changed much, but its height has increased.
To be precise, the part of the hull under the sea surface has become longer.
Considering that [Secret Sea Beast] is a creature from the [Secret Sea], it may prefer the underwater environment.
The main color of the whole ship is still black with a faint silver, and there are stars and magic patterns dotted on the hull.
The difference is.
The Black Swan seemed to have become a little more illusory, like a transparent and hazy phantom.
It was there, but it seemed to be in another space that was difficult to reach.
If you don't look closely, you might even subconsciously ignore its existence.
The reason why the color of the hull did not change much.
It was because more bones of the Secret Sea Beast were directly used to strengthen the keel deep in the hull.
If someone came to the depths of the cabin, they could see that the skeleton originally engraved with the Deep Runes had a strong silver color.
The mutated keel not only absorbed the secret power in the sea water all the time, but also brought the Black Swan space-related abilities.
The information after the enhancement was as follows.
[The main body of the "Black Swan" was successfully enhanced! ]
[Durability limit +100! ]
[Firmness +10! ]
[Mystery +10! ]
[Overall quality: 5.0→5.3! ]
[Due to the effect of the extraordinary material "Void Beast Skeleton", the effect of the trait "Secret Power Aggregation" is improved! ]
[Quality: Precious → Epic! ]
[Description: "Void Beast Skeleton" is naturally connected with the "Secret Sea", which will gradually infect your ship with the breath of the "Secret Sea". ]
[When this transformation reaches a certain level, this ship may be able to gallop in the "Secret Sea"? ]
…
[Unlocked Trait: Overlapping Space Shield]
[Quality: Precious]
[Description: After integrating the "Void Beast Skeleton", a layer of fragile overlapping space will grow on the surface of the hull to resist the upcoming attack. ]
[The current space can only withstand a limited degree of attack. When it is broken, it will automatically repair over time. ]
…
It goes without saying that the [Secret Power Aggregation] trait has been upgraded to [Epic] quality.
This not only subtly strengthens the [Black Swan], but also transforms the ship into an excellent place for practice.
The power from the [Secret Sea] is so precious.
Back then, when he was in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], Shane had to use a rather extreme method to absorb it.
But now, as long as he is on the [Black Swan], he can inhale and exhale the secret power tainted with the [Secret Sea]'s aura.
The speed of the secret path practitioners' cultivation is naturally rapid.
The one who reacted most directly was not Joey and Feiya, but the newborn bronze dragon, Xiange Maya!
At this time, Xiange was sleeping soundly in a corner of the captain's room.
Her body curled up like a kitten in its dream, and occasionally a series of bone cracking sounds would come out of her body.
This is her body growing, and the speed is far faster than that of ordinary humans.
Even alien races like Joey and Feiya can't compare to this. I'm afraid this is also a unique talent of the bronze dragon clan, right?
In just these few days, Xiange's rank has broken through the third rank.
And there is a trend of continuing to rise.
As for the second trait, Xia En understood it as a weakened "Moonlight Shelter of the Moon Chanters."
They all rely on the dislocation of space to play the same role as a defensive shield.
However, the defensive power of the [Overlapping Space Shield] is obviously much weaker than the moonlight at that time.
Perhaps, when more [Sky Beast Skeletons] are integrated, this trait will also undergo a new transformation?
While his thoughts were fluctuating, Xia En had already boarded the [Black Swan] again.
In order to accommodate the natives from all over [Sand Island], he has been busy on [Sand Island] these days.
I just boarded the ship once when I strengthened the ship and reported safety.
To prevent the Black Swan from colliding with the Burning Gold, Shane continued the previous strategy and let it wander in the waters near the Sand Island.
Until today, he officially returned to the Black Swan.
"Xiao Hei, your captain is back!"
Shane said to the ship soul of the Black Swan in his heart.
[Master, you are finally back, I miss you so much. ]
Xiao Hei expressed his intimacy excitedly, but soon, he asked with some doubts.
[Master, have you been on other ships these days? ]
[Why do I seem to smell the scent of other ship souls? ]
"!?"
Shane was stunned, but then his mouth twitched.
If he had to say it, he seemed to have come into contact with the ship souls of other ships - that was the Sky Snake in the promotion ritual!
Although the time spent together was short, Shane had a very close contact with the ship soul of the [Serpentis], and briefly reached the state of "oneness of man and ship".
However, when did Xiao Hei become so smart?
He could even distinguish this little smell.
The child has grown up, and it is not easy to fool him!
Thinking so in his heart, Shane said: "No, I have been on the island these days, how could I have contact with other ships?"
Xiao Hei was skeptical: [It seems so...]
"Captain!"
On the side, Joey came up excitedly and almost hugged him: "Welcome back!"
Yan Yan also waved at Shane: "Captain, I knew you would be fine."
Feiya leaned against the mast and looked at him with a smile on her face.
Miss Ghost appeared in front of Shane and said eagerly: "Captain, when can we have a barbecue again?"
"Why not just hold another celebration banquet?"
Looking at the crew in front of him, Shane was slightly touched and felt an indescribable warmth.
This is the feeling that can only be felt on the [Black Swan].
Maybe, this is the feeling of going home?
Shane waved his hand and said directly: "Today!"
"Tonight, hold a celebration banquet to celebrate the successful operation of [Sand Island]!"
"Great!"
...
...
While the crew was preparing for the celebration banquet.
Shane returned to the captain's room first and took out a strange mirror.
This is the [Glorious Crystal Mirror] obtained from the captain of [Fishing].
At this time, the mirror was shining with a little light, and the mirror surface was shaking slightly.
This is the symbol of the Archbishop of the Huijiao when he initiated a rally call.
Coincidentally, Shane currently has some questions that he wants to ask these well-informed people.
For example, the location of other elf temples.
Or information about the [Truth Society].
Ordinary people obviously don't know the answers to these questions, but if it is the equally mysterious Huijiao, it may give a satisfactory answer.
Thinking of this, Shane no longer hesitated and put his hand on the mirror.
The next moment.
A pure and bright light filled his entire field of vision...
