We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

"【Dragon's Nest】is calling me!"

After a crisp dragon roar.

Xiange suddenly transformed from a petite loli into a giant bronze dragon over ten meters long.

Its body is long and strong, its muscle lines are smooth and powerful, and every muscle seems to contain endless energy.

The surface of the bronze scales has a delicate and mysterious texture, as if recording the vicissitudes of time.

The pair of long, crown-like horns on Xian Ge's head became more prominent and obvious.

After the war, Xian Ge also transformed along with the transformation of the [Seven Seas World].

Ancient races such as ancient dragons and elves have always been the darlings of the [Seven Seas World].

The power of the world's origin flows in their blood.

As the world recovers and sublimates, the power of string music reaches a new height.

Now, she is infinitely close to the realm of legend, vaguely showing some of her former majesty and strength.

Looking at the string music in front of him.

Shane couldn't help but associate her current image with the sleeping bronze dragon he saw in the memory scene.

Things have come to this.

Xia En also guessed the reason why Xian Ge turned into an [Ancient Dragon Egg].

In the [moment of time], there is the [power of time and space] similar to that of the bronze dragon.

I think it was probably Leila who borrowed the power of string music to create the existence of [Moment of Time].

As a price, Xiange degenerated into the state of [Ancient Dragon Egg].

Thinking of this, there was a hint of guilt in Xia En's eyes when he looked at Xiange.

If you must say, this matter has something to do with him.

But at this time.

Xian Ge obviously didn't care about such a trivial matter.

She spread her huge dragon wings, and the bronze scales shimmered with a mysterious glow in the sunlight.

A slight flap of the wings created a gust of wind.

The surrounding sea swayed as if in tribute to her.

Xian Ge's eyes were like two shining gems, emitting a deep light, as if they could see through the end of time and space.

roar--

She roared like a dragon again, her voice filled with endless majesty and power.

Her body hovered in the air, as if merging with the heaven and earth.

Every flap of its wings was accompanied by a low dragon roar, as if responding to the call of the Dragon's Nest.

Xia En saw that Xiange was communicating with the [Dragon's Nest] in this way, thereby sensing the location of this [secret realm].

“Found it!”

Soon, Xian Ge's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked in a direction in the distance.

"Captain Shane, follow me."

After saying that, Xian Ge flapped his wings and flew quickly in that direction.

Seeing this, Shane did not hesitate and controlled the Black Swan to follow behind Xian Ge.

Xian Ge seemed to have become the navigator of the Black Swan, leading them to the Dragon's Nest Secret Realm.

but.

Even with Xian Ge leading the way, it would take more than a day or two to reach the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm].

Shane simply handed the task of navigation to the ship soul Xiao Hei, and activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] to open the silver gate leading to the [Rhine Secret Realm].

With a flash of silver light before my eyes.

A brief feeling of weightlessness came over me.

When Shane opened his eyes again, he came to the main city of the Rhine Secret Realm, Rhine City.

The [Rhine City] at this time is very different from when it was first established.

The original simple wooden houses and stone buildings have been replaced by more magnificent and exquisite buildings.

The towering towers, arches carved with intricate patterns, and the metal and mechanical creations in the city all demonstrate the prosperity and progress of this city.

——After some dwarves from the [Secret Realm of the Furnace] were sent to the [Secret Realm of the Rhine], the smelting and forging skills of [Rhine City] improved dramatically and rapidly.

Under the guidance of those craftsmen.

Not only are the buildings in [Rhine City] becoming more majestic and exquisite, but the various minerals produced in the [secret realm] are also being put to good use.

The residents in the city also put on a new batch of armor and weapons.

And on the streets in the distance, people were coming and going.

Figures of various races are intertwined, including the Moon-Singing People, dwarves, and Tree People... They are either talking, trading, or hurrying on their way. The whole city is full of life and vigor.

Shane stood under the shade of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] and took a deep breath.

[Rhine Secret Land] The air full of vitality rushed into his nostrils, making him feel indescribably comfortable and pleasant.

As the Lord of the Rhine, there is an indescribable connection between Shane and the Rhine Secret Realm.

He could clearly sense that the [Rhine Secret Realm] was conveying emotions of intimacy and love to him.

It’s just like when the Black Swan first developed its ship spirit.

I think this is the will of the [Rhine Secret Realm].

And that's besides the point.

Shane also noticed that the secret power of the entire [Rhine Secret Realm] seemed to be constantly increasing.

The concentration of the secret power gradually increased, and the vitality that was already full to the point of overflowing gave people a refreshing feeling.

It was not difficult for Shane to guess that this phenomenon was probably related to two things.

The first is the improvement of his own rank.

As the Lord of the Rhine who has a close relationship with the Rhine Secret Realm.

After Shane broke through to Legend and left his own mark on the [Great Law].

[Rhine Secret Realm] also gained certain benefits.

Another point.

Nature is the sublimation of the [Seven Seas World].

Although according to Shane's observation, the [Rhine Secret Realm] has no tendency to merge with the [Seven Seas World].

However, Shane discovered that the [Rhine Secret Realm] and the [Seven Seas World] seemed to have some kind of fundamental connection.

This connection is likely related to the source of the two secret realms, the [Mysterious Sea and Sky Beast].

one way or another.

Changes in [Rhine Secret Realm] are always a good thing.

During this period of time, batches of extraordinary people who have been promoted have emerged in the [Secret Realm].

Whether they are Moon-singers, dwarves or tree people, their physique, strength and spirit have all been significantly improved.

Especially the few tree man elders who were already close to legendary status, and they were showing signs of breaking through the legendary status.

The overall strength of all residents has made great progress.

Shane's idea of ​​being able to mobilize an army anytime and anywhere is now about to come true.

"Sir Holy Son!"

A familiar voice came from behind him. Xia En turned around and saw it was Sha Jingjing.

She was wearing a simple yet mysterious white robe.

——This is the saintly attire prepared for her by the [Yongyue Clan].

However, Sha Jingjing's constantly shaking ears and tail instantly destroyed her saintly temperament.

Her face was full of excitement, and she was obviously resisting the urge to pounce on him.

Shane's mouth twitched.

You are a wolf, not a dog!

However, Shane had already gotten used to the way Sand Crystal was collapsing, so he asked.

"What is the situation of [Rhine Secret Realm] during this period?"

Sha Jingjing immediately replied: "Everything is fine."

"The dwarves' forging skills have greatly improved our equipment level, and the herbs cultivated by the tree people have also provided us with strong logistical support."

"Thanks to everyone's efforts, the entire city has become more solid and magnificent."

"Besides Index, several more babies have been born in Rhine City."

When saying this, Sha Jingjing looked at Xia En expectantly.

She had long wanted to mate with the Holy Son and breed a group of outstanding children.

It’s a pity that Xia En didn’t agree for a long time, so he never succeeded.

Xia En pretended not to notice Sha Jingjing's obvious hint and continued asking.

"How is Index now?"

There was a hint of resentment in Sha Jingjing's eyes, but she still answered.

"Index is fine now."

"The blood power in her body seems to have undergone some strange transformation, making her much stronger than the average newborn."

"Index has only been born for a few months, and she already has the power of a first-level secret pather."

Shane touched his chin and said, "This should be related to the name I gave you before."

Index is the first newborn in the Rhine Secret Realm.

Naturally blessed by the [Will of the Secret Realm] and given the name by the [Lord of the Rhine], Shane, it is normal for him to show some extraordinary qualities since childhood.

Afterwards, Xia En asked Sha Jingjing some questions about [Rhine City].

Sha Jingjing also answered them one by one.

During the time when he was away from the [Rhine Secret Realm], Sha Jingjing was basically the acting lord of [Rhine City], responsible for many affairs in the city.

Only then can you answer questions fluently.

Don't look at Sha Jingjing's behavior in front of Xia En.

But in the eyes of the residents of [Rhine City], Sha Jingjing is a genuine Saint Lady with a very high status.

It is a place where people will spontaneously greet you when you walk around the city.

However, it is obvious that managing the Rhine City with an increasing number of people is not an easy task.

Thinking of this, Xia En patted Sha Jingjing on the shoulder.

"Thank you for your hard work during this period."

“It’s not hard!”

Sha Jingjing shook her head, but being praised by Xia En obviously made her very happy.

She looked at Shane with eyes full of gratitude and respect.

"Lord Shane, we were able to come to the Rhine Secret Realm from the Sand Island and build a new home, all thanks to your protection and guidance."

"We [the Moon Song Clan] will always remember your kindness."

Shane shook his head: "I just made some small contributions."

To avoid Sha Jingjing continuing this topic.

Shane continued to ask: "So, has there been any problems with the [Rhine Secret Realm] recently?"

Sha Jingjing hesitated and said.

“There’s no big problem, but…”

"We found some strange signs."

"Strange signs?"

Shane frowned slightly: "What exactly is it?"

Sha Jingjing explained: "In the forest far away from [Rhine City], there are traces of some unknown creatures."

"The signs are somewhat similar to the last beast tide, but there are also obvious differences."

"Traces of unknown creatures..."

Shane pondered for a moment, his expression a little serious.

He knew that there was actually a group of ancient and mysterious indigenous people in the [Rhine Secret Realm].

They hide in dense forests, mountains and lakes deep in secret places, isolated from the world and rarely come into contact with the outside world.

Even the Moon-Singing Tribe and the dwarves rarely have the chance to see any traces of them.

Moreover, these indigenous people clearly harbored considerable hostility toward outsiders like Shane.

The first beast tide was manipulated by this group of indigenous people.

If they plan to attack [Rhine City] again...

Shane opened the panel.

His eyes swept across it.

[Secret realm exploration degree: 18.9%! ]

He once speculated that every time the exploration level of the secret realm increased, it might lead to some unknown disaster.

And right now, the exploration degree is about to reach 20%.

This seemed to prove that his previous guess was correct.

I just don’t know…

Is this disaster just a coincidence, or is it some kind of... test from the [Secret Sea]?

Moreover, in what form will the disaster that befell the [Rhine Secret Realm] this time appear?

Many distracting thoughts flashed through Xia En's mind, but his face remained expressionless as he gave instructions to Sha Jingjing.

"You continue to send people to keep an eye out for traces of those unknown creatures. If there are any new discoveries, please inform me at any time."

"At the same time, speed up the training progress of the [Rhine City] army and the forging of weapons and equipment."

"Maybe in a while, there will be a tough battle waiting for us."

Although Shane's current strength has surpassed the legendary level.

But this does not mean that he can underestimate the disaster in the [Rhine Secret Realm].

He had a hunch that the first beast tide was just an ordinary test.

The real danger is yet to come!

Only by improving the overall strength of [Rhine City] as soon as possible can we survive such a disaster.

Sha Jingjing nodded heavily: "Yes, Lord Saint!"

Not long.

Accompanied by Sha Jingjing, Shane strolled around [Rhine City] again.

Many things are difficult to explain in words; only by seeing them with your own eyes can you understand them clearly.

However, in order to avoid attracting the attention of other people, Shane made a simple disguise.

Soon, the two arrived at the streets of [Rhine City].

Take a walk down these streets yourself.

Only then did Shane feel more clearly the transformation of [Rhine City].

Wide and clean roads, bustling markets, widely used steam engines, and the mixed population of different races...it seemed extremely harmonious and prosperous.

And outside the city.

The workshop built by the dwarves is currently busy with forging.

There was a heat wave inside and a fire was blazing.

These dwarves who smuggled in from the [Secret Realm of the Crucible] have quickly adapted to life in the [Secret Realm of the Rhine].

After all, compared to the [Furnace Secret Realm], which is an underground space that never sees the sun, dangerous and hot.

The environment of [Rhine Secret Land] can almost be described as "paradise"!

Living in the [Rhine Secret Realm] is the dream of generations of dwarves!

Even if you need to perform tasks such as blacksmithing and forging, you are allowed to live in [Rhine City].

But then again.

When they were in the [Furnace Secret Realm], didn't they have to forge weapons and equipment every day in order to survive?

Therefore, when it comes to motivation for work, the dwarves are actually the most vigorous and intense among all ethnic groups.

After taking a quick look at the scene in the workshop, Shane nodded secretly.

Based on his experience in playing business strategy games.

For an entire [Secret Realm], population alone is not enough.

Only by climbing the technology tree, mining and forging can you move forward quickly and steadily.
