Chapter 268: Return Journey
Chapter 268: Return Journey
The illusion in the sea ended here. After that, Heath did not see any other illusion.
After the sea returned to its calm state.
Nina touched her chin, acting like a famous detective. “I see. It seems that the rumor of the discord between the Sirens and Selena is false. Selena should be very supportive of her mother.”
“But this is strange. If the discord between them is a rumor, then why did the Sirens summon the flood to destroy Jewel City… What do you think is the reason, Heath?”
Heath replied nonchalantly, “I’m not sure.”
He was not very interested in the secrets of history. Compared to these, he was more interested in the real thing.
After answering Nina, he continued with his work. He put all the treasure chests in the hall into his dimensional pocket and counted them.
There were six treasure chests in total, and the most valuable one was the Whale-Like Conch.
Other than that, there were all kinds of Magic Gems, all kinds of strange magic materials, gold coins with magic power, and so on. All of them added up to not less than ten million Magic Stones, and this was only a preliminary estimate.
Heath sighed and said, “The Seafolk Race is really rich!”
From the conversation in the illusion, it seemed that this was not all the taxes of the Seafolk Race. It was really amazing that they could have such productivity ten thousand years ago.
After tidying up the treasure chests, Heath continued to take Nina around the hall. With the help of the system, they found some magic materials one after another, which were worth about a hundred thousand Magic Stones.
100,000 Magic Stones was not a small number, but with the few treasure chests in front of them, it was not a big deal.
After sweeping around the hall, Heath returned to the city outside.
This city was completely built on magic. The magic materials used in it were definitely not to be underestimated. Just by looking at the streetlamps, one could tell… If all the Magic Crystals in that row of streetlamps were collected, it would not be a small amount.
However, after thinking seriously for a while, Heath decided not to provoke them for the time being. The main thing was that the magic warning measures of this city seemed to be still intact… Just a few Siren golems from before had already beaten him until he was covered in dust. If something more powerful appeared, he did not know if he would be able to withstand it.
‘I’ll stay here for a long time anyway. I’ll take it slow.’
Heath decided in his heart.
Then, he left the underwater city with Nina.
Although Mermaid Sea Gills could operate as long as he had enough Magic Stones, he was a land creature after all. It wasn’t good to stay underwater for a long time. If it wasn’t necessary, it was better to stay on the shore.
For the next month, Heath stayed in this place under the shadow of the ship.
While cultivating, he explored the sea to look for the Purple Coral. At the same time, he was also exploring the underwater ruins of Aramsted.
He was not in a hurry to succeed. He maintained a proper rhythm every day and explored a little bit every day. He had plenty of time now anyway.
He explored this area continuously for more than a month. He had basically explored most of this area of the sea, and he had also explored more than half of the underwater ruins.
Although there were still some areas that he had not explored yet, the danger factor in those areas was quite high. After weighing the pros and cons, Heath decided not to be greedy for the time being. In addition, the supplies on the ship were almost insufficient. Therefore, he decided to temporarily stop here for this trip to the sea. He would only come back when his strength had improved further.
Although he did not gain as much as he did when he discovered the underwater ruins in the past month or so, he had collected various materials one after another. These were all materials that he could use in his cultivation. The value was at least hundreds of thousands of Magic Stones.
More importantly, the attributes that he obtained from collecting these materials increased his spiritual power by more than ten percent in just a month. It was equivalent to several years of hard training.
Tens of millions of Magic Stones, and a massive increase in spiritual power. This trip to the sea was really a huge profit.
The only problem was that the target of this trip, the Purple Coral, was nowhere to be found. He searched the entire sea area but still could not find it.
However, Heath was mentally prepared for this. Purple Coral was not a magic material that could be easily found. He did not have the luck to find it on a voyage.
After the last exploration, Heath set off on his return journey, ending his first voyage to the Gold Coast…
…
One day after Heath left.
Shipwreck Bay.
With Heath’s departure, the sea under the shadow returned to its former calm. There was not a hint of wind in the foggy air, and the old sailboats were scattered all over the place. The waves hit the decaying wooden planks, producing ‘Pa! Pa!’ sounds that reverberated in this desolate place.
Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Suddenly, a strange sound appeared above the sea.
A series of large bubbles appeared on the surface of the sea.
With the help of the remaining light, it could be vaguely seen that something under the sea was rapidly rising to the surface of the sea. It was a black shadow.
The black shadow rose higher and higher, getting bigger and bigger. In an instant, it broke through to the surface of the sea.
Crash!
The black shadow broke through the surface of the sea and arrived at the sea. At the same time, it revealed its true appearance.
It was a huge whale.
The huge whale appeared on the surface of the sea, knocking away the two sailboats that were lying on the surface of the sea at the same time.
Immediately after, the whale opened its huge mouth up and down. A man and a woman walked out from the whale.
Both of them were wearing light blue Wizard cloaks. On the chest of the cloak was a unique emblem, which looked like a wave or a hickey. Any Wizard in the Golden Islands could recognize the identity of this emblem at a glance.
Deep Sea Kiss.
After coming out of the whale’s mouth, the Witch’s face suddenly stiffened. She sniffed and quickly said, “Ralph, there’s the smell of a stranger here. It’s an unknown Wizard!”
The male Wizard was adjusting his cloak. After hearing the Witch’s words, he casually asked, “Oh, is that so? Is that the unlucky guy who got lost somewhere?”
All the Wizards in this area knew that this was the territory of Deep Sea Kiss. Except for people who got lost in the sea and mistakenly entered, there were basically no outsiders here.
The Witch said seriously, “Shouldn’t we quickly check if that stranger has any improper behavior?”
The Wizard sneered, “Sarah, are you worried that someone secretly collected our materials while we were away? Or are you questioning the power of Deep Sea Kiss?”
Hearing her companion’s words, the Witch’s expression relaxed a little, but she still insisted, “I’ll take a look first.”
As she spoke, she took out a space pocket, grabbed a handful of granular substances that looked like rice grains from the bag, and sprinkled them into the seawater.
These granular substances quickly melted in the water after falling into the water, and then released a unique smell, which spread in the seawater in an instant.
And then.
Splash!
The seawater seemed to boil up all of a sudden, and the sea fish from all directions rushed over and rushed towards the rice grains one after another, as if they were some kind of delicious delicacy.
The Witch drew a rune with her right hand and ordered, “Go, tell me about the situation in the sea.”
After eating, the sea fish quickly swam into the water.
The Witch then took out a crystal ball from her pocket. Soon, the crystal ball slowly showed the image of the bottom of the sea.
At the same time, the Witch’s expression suddenly changed.
