Throne of Magical Arcana

"...The further you go to the depths of the endless ocean, the more you will feel like you are trapped in a fog, although in fact there is no fog at all..."

"...The sun shining from the sky is pale and dim, making the surroundings a little hazy, as if in another world, basically unable to communicate with the outside..."

"...I tried to go back and look for the starting point of this abnormality, but I couldn't find it. It seems to be a tiny and gradual change process, from quantitative change to qualitative change, it is difficult to define it accurately..."

"...No matter how you locate it according to the sun, stars or the surrounding environment, you will always return to a place you passed before at the end. This is completely different from the flight from the ground to the universe..."

In the Atomic Universe, Lucien focused on the information in his hand. This is the experience of generations of magicians exploring the depths of the endless ocean. The same goes for attempts at orbital flight rather than space hopping.

According to them, starting from a certain height, the sky also gives people the feeling of being trapped in fog like the depths of an endless ocean, and due to the existence of its own atmosphere, this feeling is more illusory and difficult to distinguish. Therefore, flying from the ground to Presetting the orbit would be more difficult than normal, even Legend would rather choose space jump, but no matter what, this kind of flight will not circle in place, as long as it is positioned according to the stars, it will always fly out.

However, similarly, due to the limitations of external and internal conditions, legendary magicians such as Douglas are currently unable to quantitatively give the cut-off point of this feeling, unable to figure out from what height they start, and the observation of the ground is completely trapped. "Fog", naturally there is no way to study the mysteries in it.

After the failure of "Pursuing the Sun" this time, Douglas focused on this, thinking hard, trying to find a way to locate the demarcation point. Heidi and their research are quite supportive.

Natasha was wearing silver-gray full-body armor, holding the sword of truth, and walked in with high spirits: "When are we going to leave?"

The expansion of Rentat is on the right track. The knight blood in her veins is boiling and calling for battle. If Lucien doesn't go out, she is ready to take an adventure alone in the abyss gap in the Strup Forest, like a madman. The chaotic demons are more suitable as the choice of battle, because they are not so afraid of death after being crazy-the bloody plain has been occupied by the demon king of another layer of abyss.

Moreover, Lucien really needs a companion to explore the depths of the endless ocean this time, so that he can concentrate on conducting experiments, recording data, and exploring the environment. In addition, sometimes, the intuition of an epic knight is more useful than that of a legendary magician, especially the body. When minor changes occur.

Lucien smiled and put down the information in his hand: "It seems that you are the one who has been delayed, not me. I can leave anytime."

It is now the end of April 828, and Lucien has read the information about the depths of the endless ocean several times in order to wait for Natasha to finish dealing with the current matter.

Natasha laughed dryly, and said "righteously": "As a queen, how can I leave as soon as I say, and it just happened to be the most troublesome stage of Rentat's expansion, so it was only delayed for a month."

Then, without waiting for Lucien's answer, she waved her hand "heroically": "Let's go!"

Lucien smiled and shook his head, watching her two long legs stride fast and her back straight.

…………

The sky is a pure and flawless light blue, and the sea is a rich, turbulent, gloomy dark blue. The four sides are vast and boundless, and there is nothing but blue.

The wind is blowing elusively, and only the undulating sea shows its existence. Suddenly, in the invisible wind, two figures slowly stand out. One is wearing a black double-breasted long dress and a top hat of the same color. Holding a silver-white pocket watch in his hand, he seemed to be looking at "the time for the banquet". The other was a beautiful lady with long purple hair flying in the wind. Her silver-gray armor added a bit of indifference and rigidity to her.

"There is still a distance from here to the depths of the endless ocean. Let's fly over slowly." Lucien looked up at the position of the sun, his eyes were deep, and seemed to reflect the stars covered by the sun.

Natasha understands what Lucien is thinking. Since she wants to explore the secrets of the endless ocean depths, she must not be teleported directly to the nearby place. Who knows if she has already passed the place where strange things start to emerge quietly, so the best way is to go from A little bit closer to a place far away.

Before she nodded, Lucien warned again: "Remember to grasp the changes in your body, and don't let go of any small abnormal changes."

"En." She nodded slightly, with a smile on her face, like a cat stealing fish, "I am really, flattered, if, surprised..."

The idiom "being flattered" has been transformed into a lingua franca by Lucien, but in order to express the meaning accurately, the sentence structure is quite complicated and the length is astonishing. Natasha, who has only heard it once, will inevitably find it jerky and awkward when repeating it.

After hearing her answer, Lucien suddenly laughed. It seemed that she was brooding over her title of "Laborator".

"Of course, this is not a laboratory." How could Lucien miss the opportunity to tease Natasha.

Natasha glanced at Lucien with a half-smile: "Be careful that I won't cooperate with your 'experiment' in the future, I'm an experiment saboteur anyway."

Lucien coughed, wondering when the "experiment" would be successful.

The two of them flew slowly on the surface of the sea, making all the sea creatures that swam by looked up at the sky strangely, how could anyone fly slower than us?

This flight lasted for two full days. Due to Lucien's magic, none of the sea creatures or vicious birds who were good at "jumping" disturbed them.

Suddenly, Natasha stopped abruptly, looked up at the silver moon and sparse stars in the sky with some strangeness, and said uncertainly: "It seems a little heavier?"

The gentle smile on Lucien's face immediately subsided, and he took out a small and delicate metal cabin directly from the storage bag.

Magic fluctuations were generated, and the metal hut became bigger and bigger, turning into a relatively well-equipped laboratory in mid-air. Lucien stretched out his hands, fingers fluttering, and manipulated different magic circles and alchemy instruments like playing a piano. Important parameters such as gravity, humidity, wind level, temperature, and star positions here.

Natasha stood out of thin air with a long sword in her hand, guarding her surroundings.

Time passed by, and there was only the sound of the undercurrent in the quiet night. After Natasha looked around for a few times, she landed on Lucien's face. Due to the position she was standing, she could only see Lucien's face. En's side face, that handsome face that was so familiar to the extreme, now there is no habitual gentle smile, no gaze on him, only a concentrated expression and deep eyes.

In this way of getting along, not only did Natasha not feel bored and lonely, but she felt a sense of tranquility and warmth. While looking at Lucien's focused profile, she smiled.

Suddenly, there was a sound of water below, and a huge black shadow appeared on the surface of the sea.

Crashing, a sea monster tens of meters long popped out. It was as black as a hill. It looked like a freshwater crocodile, but it was so huge and weird. Its scales shone under the light of the silver moon. With mottled colors, the breath is tyrannical and terrifying.

It's a sea monster that rules the nearby seas, and it senses an invasion of threatening creatures!

Natasha turned her head, her eyes narrowed slightly, and there seemed to be a silver-gray sword light shining in her silver-purple clear pupils.

The sea monster suddenly froze in mid-air, then turned around and dived desperately, as if it had been frightened out of its wits.

Although I am a sea monster, they are more like monsters!

"Its instinct is very keen." Lucien's smiling voice reached Natasha's ears.

Natasha was a little embarrassed and said, "Did I bother you?"

Although husband and wife don't need to see each other, as a knight, Natasha still feels that she has been a little negligent and has not fulfilled her responsibilities.

"No, the data collection is complete." Lucien put away the portable laboratory.

Natasha smiled and said, "Did you find any problems?"

"I can't see anything from a set of data." Lucien's answer seemed to indicate that he had a clear direction.

…………

In the depths of the endless ocean, Natasha looked at the small island covered in strange red plants in front of her, and said solemnly: "We are back to the place we just passed by."

"Yes." In the past month, Lucien has collected a lot of data, but still can't avoid this situation.

"What did you find?" Natasha didn't find any abnormalities at all except sometimes felt slight physical changes, so she could only ask Lucien what he could see from the data.

Lucien answered irrelevantly: "I read from the information that there is a mysterious 'Blue Gate' in the depths of the endless ocean."

"Yes, the 'Azure Secret Key' is a legendary material conceived from the 'Azure Gate'. After being refined by generations of sea clan experts, it has become one of the thirteen legendary fourth-order items today. However, The 'Azure Gate' is like the 'Chaotic Starry Sky', only the strongest of the Sea Clan who have mastered the 'Azure Secret Key' can discover it, or be favored by luck." Natasha recalled the information she had read, "and Many legendary powerhouses suspect that the 'Azure Gate' does not exist at all, and it belongs to the myth imagined by the Sea Clan based on the legendary item 'Azure Key'."

"No matter what, we have to look for it." Lucien seemed to be sure of something.

Suddenly, there was a misty singing sound, which made Lucien, a legendary powerhouse of the third rank, feel dizzy for a while, as if his soul was attracted by the shock.

"Be careful." Lucien cast magic, and Natasha, who was fighting hard, quickly got rid of the abnormality.

"The singing voice of the mermaid? A mermaid at the legendary level?" Natasha looked in the direction of the singing voice.
