Chapter 238: Crossing



Chapter 238: Crossing

Gwen lay in bed, calming her mind and letting consciousness slowly sink in.

Soon, she felt her consciousness touching a barrier. The barrier didn't seem very strong, but it was still not something she could break.

Fortunately, her goal was not to cross the barrier, she just needed to stay here. Soon, some white substance that slowly dissipated from the barrier was gradually attracted to her and began to penetrate into her soul bit by bit, and nourished her weak body through the connection between soul and flesh.

This is what her new friend the Scepter taught her.

The name of the scepter is strange, and the method she used is even stranger, but this strange method just happened to solve her current problem.

She was just lying on the bed meditating, but it actually filled her stomach. This was really beyond her imagination. Fortunately, she was just a little girl and didn't know much about the world. She didn't realize how amazing this was. She just subconsciously listened to her new friend's words.

However, the scepter also told her that this method would not last long. The absorption of souls had its limit after all. In a few days, she would not be able to fill her stomach through this kind of meditation unless she became a transcendent.

She wanted to ask if she could become a superhuman, but the Scepter directly refused. That was the most serious time she had spoken, as she had always spoken gently before.

But it’s okay. Gwen is already very satisfied. She has met new friends and lived a few more days. What else can she complain about?

Gwen was meditating quietly, while the remaining three people in the link gradually started chatting.

Scepter: "By the way, what are you doing near Castel?"

She cautiously probed, saying that the two men were most likely pirates, and she specifically told them the meditation method just to let them know her value.

No one can resist the temptation of the extraordinary, especially those outsiders who know nothing about the dangers of the extraordinary. The method she talked about is actually a prerequisite for becoming extraordinary and cleansing the soul.

This step can actually make the soul stronger, and has no side effects. Mortals do not feel much of it, it just fills the stomach and makes the body healthier.

The two of them would definitely try it secretly, and when they found it was effective, they would come to her for the next step. This way, she would have more bargaining chips in her hand and could ask the two of them to help her do something.

As for what to do, that was naturally self-evident, which was why she specifically mentioned Castel - since the two of them were nearby, it shouldn't be difficult for them to help her explore.

But what Beatrice didn't expect was that the two of them suddenly fell silent.

She didn't know how to speak, so she could only wait. After a long time, when she couldn't help pacing around the room, she finally heard a reply.

Captain: "You know Castel?"

Scepter: "Of course I know. A border earl went to that island, and it is now within the territory of the empire."

Captain: "No, I mean do you know what happened to Castel?"

Beatrice took a deep breath, her eyes shining.

Here we are, finally bringing the topic here. After so many twists and turns, we finally got the information about Castel.

Hughes, who was at the bottom of the sea, also pricked up his ears. He knew that the Black Pearl was not far from Castel, but why didn't they return to the island?

And the sea he saw at that time also made him feel that something was wrong.

Captain: "It may be hard to believe, but Castel is missing."

Captain: "I'm not speaking metaphorically, I'm speaking literally. The entire island simply disappeared from the sea, as if it had been dug out by a giant shovel."

Jeremiah's face was gloomy. Every time he thought of this incident, the chill from the bottom of his heart would envelop him again.

In the church on the Rhine, Beatrice's eyes widened, and an exquisite enamel teacup slipped from her hands, fell to the floor, and shattered into pieces in an instant.

Castel is gone?

Ever since she found that she could not find any trace of Castel in the Sea of ​​Unknownness, she had some guesses, but his sudden disappearance was beyond her worst imagination.

If Castel disappeared, then Countess Beatrice of Hughes would feel a tremor in her heart. She stood up, no longer caring about anything else, picked up her robe and walked out hurriedly. Her white boots stepped on the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, making a fine and sharp sound.

At the bottom of the Ocean of Storms, Hughes, a worker sitting cross-legged in the sea, also looked shocked.

How could this be possible? The entire island disappeared? Thinking of the days when he and the people on the island had fought together, Xius felt cold all over.

If Castel was gone, where was I? What was I fighting? No, think about it carefully, everything had been foreshadowed. Those monsters had undergone strange changes. It was no wonder that everything I saw on the Black Pearl was normal. No wonder there was such a big battle, and the Empire and the Church did not take action. It turned out that only Castel was attacked.

But why? What's so special about Castel that it should be treated like this? No, wait, thinking of the pollution snake spreading on the seabed, maybe the closer Jewel Bay has also seen it. The captain said: "This change is not only in Castel, but also in Jewel Bay. I mean the Martha Islands. The entire Martha Islands have disappeared, and there is only an empty sea over there."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The Martha Islands are gone too?! This time, Hughes was really stunned. Castel was just an island after all, but with the Martha Islands included, it was almost as big as the entire North.

A sea area as big as the Northern Territory is simply empty?

Damn it, are the Queen and the Pope just for nothing? They don't care about such a big thing?

And these monsters, why are they competing with Castel? They don’t go to the Empire’s long coastline, but specifically attack his islands.

Zeus was confused and even a little lost for a moment. Even if he sent an airship to Gem Bay, could he really solve Castel's predicament?

After all, the core problem is still the monsters in the sea. The sea is now full of pollution and monsters. With their existence, Zeus can't even go to the sea to investigate.

A feeling of despair gradually welled up from the bottom of my heart.

The link also fell silent. No one spoke anymore, each digesting the information.

Suddenly, a message broke the silence, and Beatrice's voice was heard over the link. Her voice was fast and urgent, as if she was being chased by something.

Scepter: "Everyone, I have a guess!"

Scepter: "I suspect that Castel traveled back a thousand years, to the time when the pollution in the sea broke out!"
