Chapter 356 The Storm
Erdfana reached out and slapped the cover of the "Book of Calamities": "Quiet down."
"You elves have been dead for thousands of years, yet you are still so irritable."
His pale golden eyes turned into vertical pupils, reflecting a vast, illusory, and dark sea.
Without a sound, the howling wind around us stopped, and the overwhelming force that had been swollen and suffocating us vanished completely.
Cyril noticed the slight upturn of Erdfana's lips and asked in surprise, "You seem quite pleased?"
Erdfana nodded and said without any pretense, "Elves and dragons have never been allies. During the chaotic Second Age, Goshinam and I, who followed Angorweid and Suniasolem, clashed more than once."
"And now, the contingency plan He left behind, the remnants of His spirit, have fallen into my hands."
...That's something to be happy about.
After a brief moment of sympathy for Goshinam, Cyril asked curiously, "Is it possible to create a living sealed artifact of the 'Book of Calamities' and Goshinam's will through hypnosis and sealing?"
A glint seemed to flash in Erdfana's pale gold vertical pupils: "That's a good suggestion. I can give it a try."
"I thought you would let me temporarily seal Him, put Him into a deep sleep, and then find items through the 'Hanged Man' pathway to shepherd Him."
"Shepherding the soul of an angel is the most direct way to increase one's strength."
As Erdfana spoke, the "Book of Calamities" in His hand trembled slightly, but quickly fell silent again.
...As expected of Gu Long, you can hear the hatred that has lasted for thousands of years as soon as he opens his mouth.
Composing himself, he quickly said, "Let's deal with Goshinam's will first. If it remains so active, keeping this book around is quite dangerous."
Erdfana nodded slightly: "That's simple."
As Xiu finished speaking, intensely colored light suddenly surged from the floor, walls, and ceiling of the room.
They surged about erratically, outlining a bizarre and surreal scene, like a maze composed of countless pixelated blocks.
The next second, the maze zoomed in, and a series of strange dreams appeared before their eyes.
Some of these dreams were covered by raging hurricanes, some were engulfed by cold waves, some were plagued by earthquakes, and some were struck by lightning...
In every dream, when the natural disaster develops to a certain extent, the dream shatters.
One dream shatters, and soon a new dream appears, like an endless match-3 game.
As Sirion was engrossed in watching, Erdfana's voice, full of disdain, suddenly rang in his ears: "Thousands of years have passed, and this foolish and barbaric elf still only knows how to use such crude methods to break through dreams."
"6
'
Is it possible that he has been dead for thousands of years and had no opportunity to develop techniques to deal with dreams?
"Although the body is dead, His spirit and will live on."
Erdfana's sudden reply startled Cyril, who quickly gathered his scattered thoughts.
He paused, then changed the subject, saying, "Could you use dreams to reveal Goshinam's past memories?"
"If I could glimpse the memories of the Second Epoch, my 'Recorder' potion should be able to process quite a bit of them."
"Of course, I'll have a virtual persona guide you."
As soon as Erdfana's voice rang in his ears, Cyril felt a wave of weightlessness wash over him, and the surrounding light stretched out like lines.
Two seconds later, everything returned to normal, but the surrounding environment had changed.
He appeared in a coral palace in the deep sea and saw a beautiful woman with a distinctly oriental appearance.
Her hair was jet black and glossy, styled into a high bun. She had slightly pointed ears, delicate features, and brown eyes.
"Queen of Calamities," Goshinam.
In the captain's cabin of the private dock, "Azure Avenger".
Alger, who was sitting at his desk fiddling with a tarot deck, suddenly stopped.
He saw the grayish-white mist rising before him, the figure of "The Fool" perched high above the mist, and "The World" praying to "The Fool" in a dimly lit room.
"Great Fool," I discovered something on Simim Island, among the rebels of Bayam.
"Latisia Dhorella and her companions broke into the ruins of the sea god on Simim Island, took the Book of Calamities, and left. They are now being hunted by the rebels."
"Karat and other rebels are selling a strange, slightly curved bone sword, which appears to come from the sea god worshipped by the rebels."
"At the same time, the sea god Kavituva has gone out of control; its physical form is on the verge of collapse, and its mental state is extremely deranged."
After the gray fog in front of him completely disappeared, and another second passed, Alger finally came back to his senses.
Is "Poseidon" Kavitova spiraling out of control and on the verge of collapse?
"Someone took the Book of Calamities from the ruins of the Sea God," and the rebels are hunting them down while simultaneously selling strange bone swords from the Sea God?
Alger's expression was one of astonishment and surprise.
...I remember that yesterday morning, "World" and the others hunted down "Blood General" Señor and "Iron" Maiviti, among others.
Today, the "world" discovered that the "sea god" Kavituva has gone out of control, and they know so much about it.
After some thought, he considered a possibility: "Perhaps 'The World' is merely a representative of Mr. Fool's followers at the Tarot meeting."
"Besides the world," there are other followers of "Mr. Fool" also on the Rothschild Islands, inquiring about "the sea god" Kavituwa.
"And today, the one in charge of the Sea God's affairs finally discovered important news, which was then entrusted to me by someone who is both a follower and part of the Tarot Society's 'world'."
"But...is this the opinion of Mr. Fool's followers, or the opinion of Mr. Fool himself?"
"What do they want me to do in this matter?"
After a moment of contemplation, Alger guessed the purpose of "The World"... "I will inform the Church of Storms about this matter so that the authorities of the Rosede Islands can intervene?"
But if Mr. Fool had his eye on Poseidon all along, why did he let the Church of Storms intervene at this crucial moment? Could there be a deeper scheme behind this that I haven't figured out yet?
After a moment's thought, Alger put on his coat and sailor hat and left the "Azure Avenger".
He first went to the area where the indigenous people lived, and then went to the dock and entered a bar.
He didn't leave the bar until dawn, and went to the Sea Wave Church to meet Bishop Jorgori under the pretext of morning prayer.
This was the time he had arranged after meeting with Bishop Kyogori yesterday; he would be receiving the reward for reporting "Flame" Danitz and "Iron" and others.
Although his information was not entirely accurate, and the pirate general "Blood Admiral" Senor also appeared in the battle that day, his adventure and the gains of the Storm Church were real.
For this, the Church of Storms generously rewarded him with a full £1.
After receiving his reward and listening to Bishop Khogorli's perfunctory words, he hesitated for a moment.
He then clenched his right fist, pressed it against his left chest, and said hesitantly, "Lord Jogori, while investigating the remnants of Blood Admiral's forces in Bayam, I heard some news."
"What news?"
"The rebels are hunting a group of adventurers from Simim Island, apparently because they stole something important from some local ruins."
"I also saw a strange, slightly curved bone sword at a rebel booth where people were hiding their identities. It gave me an indescribable feeling; it was eerie and unusual."
He paused here, then, seeing that Khogorri wasn't showing any impatience despite his so-called feelings, but rather listening intently, he continued, "I used some methods to develop an informant among those natives. He told me some unconfirmed information: the 'Sea God' worshipped by the resistance seems to be having some problems."
He did not directly say that "Poseidon" Kavitova was out of control and on the verge of collapse, as this was not information he could know, nor could he explain the source of the information.
Kyogori frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I understand. Keep an eye on the relevant news. I need to report this matter to Lord Courtman."
"Yes, Lord Djogori."
Alger responded seriously, while simultaneously clenching his right fist into his left chest.
After leaving the Sea Wave Church, the damp, cold sea breeze of the early morning pattered on his face, and he finally relaxed.
Hmph... Ever since "Destiny" arrived at sea, many major events have occurred one after another on the originally relatively calm sea. And after "The World" also arrived at sea, such events have erupted even more frequently.
It seems they are pursuing these matters involving evil gods, angels, and secret organizations, while simultaneously igniting these events.
I have a feeling that the world is becoming increasingly turbulent, with signs of a storm brewing.
However, this is my opportunity. My strong connection with the Church of Storms will allow me to cooperate better with "The World" and "Destiny".
Furthermore, they gained considerable benefits from the "Fool," from the existence behind "fate," and from the games and struggles with those evil gods, angels, and secret organizations.
And this will become the resources for me to move towards a higher sequence and status.
In a bedroom on the second floor of No. 14 Xiangshu Avenue.
The brownish-yellow parchment book on the desk suddenly began to turn on its own.
Amidst the rustling sound, the figures of Cyril and Erdfana quickly appeared in front of the desk.
Then Erdfana reached out and pressed his hand on the page, his pale gold eyes turning into vertical pupils, and fine grayish-white scales appeared on the exposed, withered back of his hand.
.
One after another, complex and three-dimensional mysterious symbols engraved on the gray-white scales began to spread toward the yellowish-brown parchment pages, as if weaving together something that did not belong to the real world, causing the special features revealed by the "Book of Natural Disasters" to begin to passively subside.
A few breaths later, Erdfana withdrew his hand and nodded to Cyril, saying, "Alright, Goshinam's consciousness has fallen silent, and I've sealed this 'Book of Calamities' as well. It won't suddenly erupt and pose a danger to you at any time."
"But similarly, once it's sealed away, it's very difficult to use."
"As for transforming it into a living sealed object, that will take quite some time to try."
Cyril nodded: "It's okay, I have plenty of time."
After giving a slight nod, Erdfana continued, "Gohinam's will is not entirely contained in this book; he seems to have divided himself into many parts."
"This might be a good way to save your life when being hunted down by Leodorus all over the world, but it seems a bit foolish when facing an Elder Dragon."
"An incomplete will and spirit have too many mental flaws. If you weren't trying to make this book a living seal, I would have dozens of ways to completely destroy His spirit in two minutes."
"If I wish, I can also destroy all the separated spirits through a spiritual connection."
"Once I've implanted enough psychological suggestions and hypnosis in Him, cultivating a suitable personality, you can use His spirit to initially control this Book of Natural Disasters."
...The "Queen of Natural Disasters" is about to become a piece of clay that can be shaped at will.
He muttered to himself, then chuckled at Erdfana and said, "Well, I'll be waiting for your good news."
Erdfana said nothing more, turned around and took a step back, directly entering the nearby sea of collective subconscious.
After watching Erdfana leave, Cyril looked up out the window.
The sky, which should have been bright by now, was extremely dark, with layers of dark clouds hanging low, as if you could reach out and touch them from the rooftop.
Under his gaze, large raindrops poured down, instantly forming a fierce storm.
Soon, a layer of water appeared on the street below.
The storm came too suddenly and too fiercely, and the city's drainage system was already struggling to keep up.
Boom!
In mid-air, a thunderous roar suddenly exploded.
Then, the thick, dark clouds in the sky seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand, and beams of clear sunlight shone through the cracks.
Driven by the strong winds, the torn clouds retreated and dissipated.
In just over ten seconds, the slightly gloomy, clear sky replaced the previously oppressive and rapid storm.
"It seems that such weather phenomena can also be recorded."
As he whispered, he snapped his fingers, and the street centered around No. 14 Xiangshu Avenue instantly turned gloomy.
In less than two seconds, the gloomy atmosphere around them vanished, as if a dark cloud had just happened to drift by overhead.
"What kind of shoddy localized storm is this...?"
"This is different from normal recording; it's more like a product of a further combination of fantasy and recording abilities."
"But why is it only appearing now? Is it because of my potion digestion progress?"
dong dong~
A sudden knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
After opening the door, Klein stood in the doorway and asked bluntly, "Is it possible to locate the ruins where 'Sea God' Kavituwa is hiding through the spirit world?"
