Hate Me, Miss Witch!

Western continent, endless sea.

A wooden sailboat broke through the wind and waves and sailed on the magnificent ocean.

"According to the information transmitted from the War Church..."

"During the great cataclysm, the Elf Royal Court that fell into the endless sea should be located near here."

On the bow of the ship, the middle-aged captain held a compass in one hand and a pen between his fingers in the other, comparing the charts in his hands.

This is the age of humans and adventurers.

Although compared to those races of the Gods in the old days, the human race does not have a tyrannical body, sharp teeth and claws... but the ambition in the hearts of humans is not inferior to those of the masters of the Gods.

When the internal territory of the Western Continent was divided step by step, scarce resources such as minerals, resources, extraordinary materials, etc. were also divided among many human camps. Each battle became extremely complicated, even to the point of triggering a war.

Naturally, some people set their sights on the boundless ocean beyond the Western Continent.

During the great cataclysm, the gods shed blood, the old creator collapsed, and countless ownerless fragments of divinity and authority were scattered on the main material plane.

But now, most of the broken divinities scattered on the Western Continent have long been detected and devoured by the mythical creatures walking in the world, and they still remain on the earth. The ownerless divinities that have never had an owner have long been extremely rare. And every time a god is born, it will trigger a divine war.

However, in contrast, most of the divinity and authority scattered in the endless sea have not been discovered yet, but are quietly dormant somewhere, waiting for the opportunity to see the light of day again.

Of course, even if the ownerless gods scattered during the cataclysm were discovered in the endless sea, these ocean-going adventurers would not dare to take them as their own.

This is a treasure that only those who stand at the pinnacle of legends and strive to become demigods are qualified to get their hands on, and may even attract the covetousness of the gods.

Considering that there are no legends on this ship, and the strongest ones are just a team of title-level adventurers, trying to get involved in divinity is tantamount to losing one's life.

"However, since it is the remains of the Elf King's Court from that glorious era..."

"Even those supreme gods cannot be touched by us."

"However, among the ruins of the royal court, there must be a large amount of extraordinary materials and characteristics remaining."

The middle-aged captain licked his chapped lips.

The face that looked a little yellow and weathered from being exposed to the wind and sun for a long time on the sea also showed a slightly longing look at this moment.

Those were the ruins of the Elf King's Court in the Age of Gods.

As powerful creatures of the Gods, the extraordinary power in the elves of the old era will not disappear with death, but will be transformed into extraordinary materials and remain for a long time.

The Elf Royal Court is one of the three supreme royal courts that once dominated the Glory Era.

In addition to gods and angels, there must also be many powerful high-level and even legendary-level elves in the Elf Royal Court.

"If I can find extraordinary materials of legendary level in that Elf King's Court."

"Then, bring it back to the Western Continent and trade it into strengthening materials that match the attributes of my master's pet beast."

"Then, maybe - I can try to hit the legendary bottleneck, right?"

Such thoughts only flashed through the middle-aged captain's mind and did not stay for too long.

In this world, there is no sixth-ringed beastmaster who does not desire to break through into legend.

It's a pity that legend is like a barrier, cutting off the promotion path of countless talented people.

He withdrew his thoughts from the unrealistic reverie and carefully compared the charts in his hands.

Obviously, the coordinates of the ruins of the Elf King's Court marked in the volume of information transmitted from the War Church are correct here.

However, the sea in front of him was still endless. Not to mention the ancient islands he expected, even some hidden reefs were not noticed.

"Could it be that the information given by the War Church is wrong?"

The middle-aged captain couldn't help but frown slightly.

As a transcendent person with ambitions to impact legends, he would naturally not be like those ignorant believers in the Theocratic Kingdom of Gods, who really believed that the Church of Gods was supreme and had no devout beliefs or unrealistic expectations.

Naturally, the reason why the War Church in the Western Continent leaked the information about the coordinates of the Elf King's Court in the Endless Sea to the outside world was out of pure good intentions.

He has long been familiar with the virtues of those churches. Those are the Lords who do not see rabbits and do not let go of hawks. They will never be merciful and send free lunches from heaven.

Most likely for some reason, it was inconvenient for the War Church to take the initiative.

That's why I just wanted to use a free adventurer like myself to go to the ruins of the Elven Court on behalf of the War Church to spy on some information and spy on some things.

As for the reason why it was inconvenient for the War Church to come forward, he had actually already guessed a little bit——

It must be related to the miracle of building a magnificent city in one night not long ago, and announcing the arrival of the extremely dark tower to the world in an extremely high-profile manner.

However, the middle-aged captain himself didn't actually care about this.

Among the ruins of the Elven Court, there must be some dangers and taboos that even the War Church is unwilling to face.

But as an adventurer walking on the vast ocean, working with sea beasts and pirates in the ocean day and night, he was already prepared to put his head on his waist.

The War Church was using them, and he was using the information from the War Church to gain a chance to be promoted to legend.

Gain is equal to effort, this is the basic rule for adventurers.

However, at this moment.

When he arrived at the target location, he did not find the ruins of the Age of Gods that he expected to be full of dangers, but nothing.

Even with the knowledge of the middle-aged captain, he felt a little confused at this moment.

Behind the Church of War is the being who calls himself the God of War.

Even among all the gods, he is one of the most powerful and has a chance to compete for the throne of the sky in the new era.

You can't just release false news just to amuse yourself, right?

Such thoughts just occurred.

next moment--

He heard the exclamations of the sailors from the deck of the ship behind him.

The captain followed the sailors' gaze and looked outside the ship.

The blue sea surface, which was originally calm and boundless, without even a trace of wind and waves, suddenly turned dark gray at this moment, looking strange and unpredictable under the fading skylight.

The roaring sound echoed between the sky and the sea, like thousands of horses galloping.

"Maelstrom."

The captain heard the solemn shout from the first mate, and his voice was almost drowned in the roar that resounded throughout the world. The captain could barely hear it clearly because of his hearing as a six-ring extraordinary person.

There are experienced navigators on this boat, and they are already familiar with all kinds of walruses on the ocean.

The dark sea surface and rumbling sound in front of us are signs that the whirlpool is about to take shape.

It was one of the most terrifying natural disasters on the ocean, even comparable to the divine punishment of the God of Storms... The water wall of the vortex can tilt at a maximum angle of more than 45 degrees, and can engulf everything it touches.

It is said that when the ship is first caught in the whirlpool, the speed is not too fast, nor is it as violent as when it faces a storm or hits an iceberg on a reef, but it will take forty minutes to an hour for you to watch. He speeded his ship down towards the center of the whirlpool little by little.

These processes are slow, but unstoppable and irreversible. Among the ships built with the level of technology that is unparalleled before human civilization, no ship's autonomous power can escape the catching power of the vortex.

You can only watch helplessly as your ship spirals and accelerates into the vortex, until it falls to the bottom of the vortex and is crushed into powder.

Extraordinary beings with the ability to fly may be able to abandon the ship and escape by flying, but in the vast and vast sea, without the ship as a foothold, the hope of survival is extremely slim.

The middle-aged captain quickly stood up and issued instructions to his sailors.

And he himself used his extraordinary physical fitness to quickly climb to the observation deck of the mast, trying to find the foam wave belt that fluctuated like a white line on the sea surface, so as to guide the ship to avoid it in time.

The whirlpool is lower than the sea surface. The wave belt serves as the boundary of the whirlpool and is also the line of life and death. Only by crossing it can the ship see the main body of the large whirlpool. However, crossing it also means falling into the capture range of the whirlpool. , unless there is a legendary level powerhouse on board who can compete with the power of Heaven with his own individual strength, otherwise once he crosses that life-and-death line, it will be equivalent to a death sentence for the ship.

Under the observation deck of the mast, each crew member followed the captain's instructions in an orderly manner.

They were indeed adventurers who went to the Elf King's Court to hunt for treasure. They had already pinned their heads to their waists, but taking risks was not the same as risking death. In front of the majestic power of this maelstrom, the individual's power was pitiful and pitiful, and they had high status on land. A person with extraordinary weight will not even make a splash.

However, no matter how the captain looked on the observation deck, he even summoned his own pet beast that could assist in detection, exerting his observation ability as a six-ring beast master to the limit——

The rumbling sound that echoed between heaven and earth gradually increased, but the boundary of the vortex was still not visible, the snow-white foam wave belt that should have been extremely conspicuous.

Suddenly, the experienced captain's eyes paused.

His eyes fell on the white sea level at the far end of the sea.

He finally realized his mistake. The white line at the end of the sea that he could see was not the sea level as he had thought before, but the boundary of the real whirlpool.

From the beginning to the end, my ship was inside the vortex that was about to take shape.

If we are already there, how can we avoid the border?

He stood up suddenly and was about to jump off the mast to inform the crew, but then he stopped his movements dejectedly.

How could such a huge thing, which could not even be described as a whirlpool, be described as a mountain range, escape in time before the vortex formed?

This is not the same thing as the whirlpool that the captain knew before. Even if a royal city appears here, it will only be swallowed by the large whirlpool, without exception.

All the efforts of himself and his crew were nothing but futile struggles, unable to escape the final fate.

Boom——

Boom——

A vortex formed, followed by a downward falling sensation.

In the tilted water wall, the sea surface was completely invisible. Behind the ship was a ridge of seawater, and the top of the slowly moving mountain could be vaguely seen.

That was a great power beyond human beings, even beyond the reach of demigods, and an irresistible power of heaven.

The prayers of the crew came from below. Many of them were believers of the Storm Church. They seemed to have come here for the purpose of collecting intelligence similar to the War Church. Now these believers of the Storm God were all panicked, thinking that this huge vortex that could swallow an entire country was a divine punishment from the Storm God.

The captain did not pray. He had no faith. It was impossible for a transcendent who aspired to be a legend to have faith... He just leaned silently on the railing of the mast's observation deck, lit his pipe, and recalled his life in his mind.

The vortex turned faster. At this time, in the gloomy sky, the sun came out from the gap in the clouds and shot a beam of golden light into the vortex, but it could only illuminate a very small part.

A large amount of water mist gushed out from the bottom of the vortex, reflecting a rainbow in the sunlight, like a rainbow bridge running through the abyss and heaven.

The captain did not do anything more, just silently holding his pipe, waiting for the huge power of heaven to bury everything.

With his strength as a six-ring beastmaster, he might try to use suspension skills to escape, and then accompany the sea beasts on the vast ocean alone, hoping that the ocean currents would bring him to a shallow sea near the land, but the captain finally gave up this idea.

Living and dying with his own ship may be the unique romance of this navigator who has placed his life on the sea.

At this moment, the prayers under the ship stopped abruptly.

After a moment of silence, they made exclamations that were far more shocking than before.

The middle-aged captain did not look at his men, because at this moment, he himself looked at the scene in front of him and murmured.

"My God..."

He didn't believe in God, but the scene before him could only be described as a miracle, which made him have to believe that perhaps there really were so-called gods in this world.

They were not those mythical creatures that plundered and robbed in order to compete for divinity, and had ugly eating habits.

But they were truly great ones who were high above and looked down on the world.

The ship came to the bottom of the vortex.

As the vehicle of a six-ring beastmaster, this ship could be considered a large ship even in the Storm Church, but at this moment, in the magnificent vortex funnel, it was as small as a toy in the hands of a child.

However, at the bottom of the vortex, what they saw was not the black hole that swallowed and shattered the light as the captain expected.

But——

A city that broke through the sea and was slowly rising.

Silver-blue light spots rushed out of the ground with the dark water, hundreds, thousands, thousands, and thousands of brilliant light spots scattered in the dim sky, as beautiful as stars.

And in the silver-blue light curtain, the ancient city rising from the bottom of the sea slowly revealed its majestic grandeur.

Vicissitudes, ancient.

Such traces of the passage of time are not possessed by any human capital in the Western Continent today.

"The Elf King's Court——"

Since it is setting sail to find the remains of the Elf King's Court, the captain must have conducted a background check on the Elf King's Court before setting off.

Although the ancient Elf language has long been lost due to the long time.

But looking at the ancient runes carved on the bronze wall, the experienced captain still distinguished the origin of the city in front of him.

And——

This is not the ruins of the King's Court that have long been buried in time as he expected.

Rather, it is a living city.

Just like——

In the ancient legend, the ancient city of Atlantis returned from the depths of the ocean and from the end of time.

The miracle of the Age of Gods reappears here.

...

The City of Wind and Snow.

Or, the former Lost Island, the Elf King's Court.

On the city wall.

The mountain formed by seawater was easily broken at this moment.

Tens of millions of tons of seawater roared and fell towards the royal court.

But then, just before the seawater was about to hit the city wall, it was stopped by a faint light.

The light was very faint, but it seemed to have some indescribable power.

The magnificent power of the sky was also isolated from the light.

The seawater was broken, and the vortex dissipated.

In its place, there was a blue and clear sky.

Liliana sat on the bronze wall of the royal court, silently watching everything in front of her.

She couldn't help but recall the vague memory of more than 500 years ago when she was not yet a legendary elder of the gray elves, but just a child.

That day, when the Lost Island broke through the eternal night and fell into the abyss.

She had also briefly glimpsed the sunlight of this real world.

However, it was only a brief and fleeting light.

At this moment, what Liliana saw was the long-lasting and sustainable sunlight that existed forever.

No longer had to imagine the sunlight through books, what came into view was the reality within reach.

Liliana stood up.

Then, she made a solemn announcement to the countless royal court elves behind her who were shocked and speechless after seeing everything in front of them.

"Back then——"

"The promise I made to you when I became the elder of the Gray Elf Tribe."

"It seems that it is finally coming true."

She suppressed the trembling in her throat and spoke slowly in as calm a tone as possible.

"Welcome to."

"Promised by Your Majesty Xia Ya——"

"The world of light."
