Chapter 537 [Revised] The Mysterious Sea of Mist
The storm and towering waves were left behind, and what lay before Luze was a vast expanse of sea shrouded in mist. The mist, a pale grayish-white hue under the sun, slowly unfurled, like a living behemoth coiled on the sea's surface.
This is the Misty Sea, the largest and most mysterious of the five seas.
No one knows the cause of the perennial fog here, nor how many secrets it holds. Legends, strange tales, eerie monsters, hidden treasures—all sorts of unbelievable rumors spread and distorted among the people. Most are just rumors, but a few are sometimes proven true.
Legend has it that a lost civilization called "Nuinth" lies dormant on the seabed here;
Legend has it that deep within the fog, beyond the safe passage, dwells a colossal beast capable of devouring an entire ship.
Legend has it that strange islands suddenly appear in the middle of previously empty shipping lanes, and anyone who dares to go ashore disappears along with them...
"The name 'Sea of Mist' is really fitting..."
Lu Ze gazed at the ocean, thinking to himself.
He pulled out a nautical chart in mid-air and examined it.
After leaving Midway Island, he followed a safe route, first arriving at Hakata Port, and then continuing westward to Cyrus Island on the edge of the Raging Sea, until he was completely free from that sea shrouded in natural disasters and death.
If he flies northwest from his current location, he will reach the "Misty Sea Islands". If he flies straight ahead, he will reach the Aroca Islands.
The Sunia Sea is divided and occupied by the Kingdom of Rune and the Empire of Fusak, while the Misty Sea is within the sphere of influence of Intis. The "Misty Sea Islands" are its main colonies, and Aroca Island is its westernmost colony.
Luze quickly determined the route: instead of going to the northwestern archipelago, he headed directly west to Arouca.
"call-
'
A strong wind blew, and he quickly adjusted his posture, flying towards the fog-shrouded sea.
As he approached the Sea of Mist, Lu Ze's visibility gradually decreased. Finally, he completely disappeared into the mist, and the range of sight he could make out dropped to a few dozen meters. Beyond that, he could no longer discern anything.
The waves gently surged, and although there was a wind, it could not stir up the endless fog that filled the entire ocean.
Looking up, the sun was just a pale white outline.
It was very quiet around us.
Perhaps it was just his imagination, but Lu Ze felt as if something was spying on him through the fog. In the depths of the hazy fog, he could occasionally glimpse something eerie flashing by.
Never mind that, the important thing is to focus on the task at hand.
He told himself to stay alert, manipulate the wind around his body, and continue flying forward.
Compared to the visible dangers of the Raging Sea, the terror of the Misty Sea lies in its invisible secrecy. For those navigating here, the ever-present fog impairs visibility, causing them to stray from safe routes and encounter various unforeseen events.
Every so often, Lu Ze would take out a nautical chart and compass to determine the location.
Relying on his extraordinary abilities at sea through the "sailor" route, he could find his way even when fog obscured his vision, thanks to simple nautical instruments.
Lu Ze moved forward rapidly, occasionally sensing something spying on him from the depths of the fog, but he ignored it all.
Sunia Sea, Nas, the capital of the Carcas Islands, known as the "White City".
With the appearance of a mad adventurer—black hair, brown eyes, a thin face, and deep features that made him look cold and ruthless—Klein stepped off the passenger ship and onto the dock.
"Waaah"
Steam horns blared. Pirate flags flew over ships anchored in the harbor, making no attempt to conceal their presence.
A ship laden with whale meat spewed in white steam, and the beast's blood flowed from the ship's hold into the water.
This was a colony of the Fussac Empire, famous for its whale meat. The buildings in this port city are mostly made of stone, and because most of the local rocks are white, it has earned the nickname "White City".
Klein, with a stern expression and wearing a coat, walked into the city.
There, a group of tall, burly men were seen drinking in broad daylight, the strong alcohol "Lyranoze" consuming them like water. Plump, robust women were busily engaged in heavy physical labor, occasionally hurling insults at the drunken bastards.
Although it was already early March, the temperature on the island wasn't very high. Yet, these drunkards were all shirtless in the cold wind, and the women were dressed very simply.
The streets were filled with shouts, fighting, and gunshots in the Fusak language. Police officers in gray uniforms walked by, drinking as they went, seemingly oblivious to the clashing gangs and pirates.
Rugged, direct, savage, and fierce!
"No wonder they're a northern people suspected of having giant blood..."
Klein was filled with admiration and subconsciously tightened his coat.
He ignored the scene of the fight, walked straight ahead, past a church of the Church of War, past some workshops that dismembered whales and made ointments, and arrived at Grey Amber Street, where he entered a general store called "Frenzied Whale Dance".
After exchanging the secret code with the shopkeeper, he received a crystal ball from him, which the shopkeeper then handed over after reciting a spell. Inside the crystal ball was a woman dressed in a black magic robe, with deep purple to almost black eyes, exuding an air of mystery.
【The Hermit】Cattleya.
"German Sparrow?"
On the other side of the crystal ball, "Admiral of the Stars" also recognized Klein's disguised identity. "I didn't expect it to be you..."
The two had already communicated through the Fool beforehand, and this contact was to confirm the specific details of going to the ruins of the gods.
Luze flew through the thick fog.
Suddenly, his ears twitched, and he looked ahead. In the distance, shrouded in mist, he could faintly hear the roar of machinery.
Other ships...
It's not unusual to see steamships on the Misty Sea, after all, it's public waters and located on a safe shipping route. Even the raging, disaster-ridden Sea has ships constantly coming and going, let alone this less dangerous place.
So Luze didn't pay too much attention, he just increased his altitude and continued flying forward.
His speed was much faster than that of an ordinary steamship, and before long he caught up with the roaring ship sailing on the sea.
Wait.
This doesn't look like an ordinary ship...
Lu Ze frowned slightly, looking down at the ship that was gradually becoming clearer. He saw the large ship, covered in iron armor, sailing on the misty sea, white steam rising from the smokestacks and gradually merging with the mist.
On the white-painted deck, numerous turrets with impressive calibers were densely packed, and many sailors were scattered across the deck, doing their own things.
This is a warship!
