On the other side, far away from the ruins of Sunken City, a strange boat made of crystal ice was floating quietly. The hull is not exquisite, and is even a little rough, as if it was frozen in sea water in a hurry, but it steadily carries the three figures, isolating the cold and biting sea water below.
Selwyn·Lagoven stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the sea in the distance that had gradually calmed down, his expression still solemn. His perception, belonging to a high-level magician, enveloped the area, carefully detecting every reverberation of energy.
"That unusually powerful existence has disappeared." He spoke slowly, his voice sounding particularly clear on the empty sea. "Perhaps it entered the void following the torn space rift, or it may have died for some reason unknown to us."
Captain Remington leaned against the side of the ship and exhaled a breath of filthy air, his face full of happiness and fear of surviving the disaster. He wiped the sea water from his face and asked in a rough voice, "Then what are we waiting for here? Those two lunatics and that ghost are finished. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. We should go back to Port Belen as soon as possible."
Selwyn didn't answer, but just turned his attention to another silent figure on the boat.
"We have to wait for Miss Mephisto." Moria said calmly, his eyes also fell on the sea level in the distance, as if he was expecting something. He had put on a clean spare priest robe, and there were no traces of battle on his body, except for his light eyes, which were deeper than ever.
"She was involved in that fight."
Captain Remington jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. His eyes widened and he looked at Moria in disbelief. "What did you say? That little girl? She... she rushed in?"
He couldn't figure it out. That girl who was wearing a cloak from beginning to end, who was petite and looked extremely fragile, actually had such amazing courage and dared to approach the battlefield of two strong men of the seventh stage? That was no longer bravery, but pure madness. Remington considers himself a man who is not afraid of anything, but in the face of such powerful forces, he can only run away.
However, with the strength she had shown before, although it was weird and extraordinary, to survive in the center of such a storm...Remington shook his head, he did not even dare to imagine the ending. I'm afraid it has been torn into pieces by the dissipated energy, and not even a single bone will be left.
"May the storm be with you..." Remington scratched his hair that was wet by the sea water irritably, "I'm afraid that child... Well, with the strength she has shown, I'm afraid she will be in danger."
In his opinion, Li Wen's strength is indeed impressive, even a little weird, but in a battle that even Archmage of Selwyn's level thinks he cannot intervene, her ending is almost foreseeable.
"Perhaps there is no need to be so pessimistic." Selwyn spoke at the right time. He withdrew his probing gaze and said in a calm tone, "Miss Mephisto is the person that Your Excellency Marymana values., since she dared to intervene in that battle, she must have some life-saving cards. If we wait for another half day, we will return to Port Belen. There is still a lot of mess waiting for me to deal with."
Then, he looked at Moria, "Although Radiance has no mercy, he will always look after those who wish."
When Moria heard this, he knew that the other party was comforting him, but he shook his head slightly and explained calmly, "I am not worried about Miss Mephisto's safety."
These words surprised both Remington and Selwyn.
A complicated and difficult-to-understand light flashed in the young priest's eyes.
"She is the apostle of Twilight Witch, as admitted by 'Impurities' herself," he said slowly. "Just a flower of divinity that has not yet fully formed is not enough to pose a real threat to her."
The information revealed in these words made Captain Remington confused, but Selwyn's brows furrowed even tighter. He knows what "Impurities" means, and he is even more aware of the importance of the four words "Twilight Witch" in the long history of history.
"What I'm worried about..." Moria's eyes turned to the distance again, "Are other things."
He was worried about what role Li Wen played in the conflict between the blooming of divinity and the coming of the end. He was worried about what she had witnessed in the unwitnessed core of the battlefield, and what... she had gained. The Path of Light Chasing, which was strictly sealed by the temple and regarded as taboo, seemed to be heading in a direction that no one could predict in her body.
At this moment, Captain Remington's keen eyes caught something.
"Look! Over there!" He suddenly raised his arm and pointed to the distant sky.
Where the sea and the sky meet, a tiny black spot is rapidly enlarging. The figure drew a smooth trajectory in the air, flying towards Ice Ship where they were with a clear target.
It is Li Wen.
She also captured the three familiar figures on Ice Ship. Under the influence of the "lost" state, she originally just wanted to find an uninhabited desert island and wait for the negative effects to disappear, but she didn't want to find the right direction by mistake during her aimless flight.
A moment later, Li Wen landed dexterously on Ice Ship, moving lightly and landing silently. The Emerald Star Cloak on her body was intact as before, and the breath under the hood was calm and restrained, as if the previous gamble that could topple the world was just an ordinary walk after dinner for her.
"The storm is up! You are still alive!" Captain Remington let out a heartfelt and bold shout. He looked at Li Wen up and down, and after confirming that she had no arms or legs, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief, "I thought you were torn into pieces by those energies! Well done, girl!"
Li Wen just nodded slightly at him as a response, and then reported the results to everyone in her usual calm tone.
"Poe Drion and Kourt are both dead."
As for where the Undying Flower went, she didn't mention it at all, as if the miraculous creation that caused all the disasters had never existed.
Selwyn looked at her deeply, and a hint of understanding flashed in the eyes of the acting president of Artificer's Hand. He didn't ask further. Some things, the less you know, the better. He just nodded and said simply, "The threat has been removed. This is the best result."
Moria said nothing. He just looked at Li Wen quietly. Those pure eyes seemed to penetrate the shadow of the hood and see clearly her essence at the moment. Li Wen could feel his gaze, but she just greeted him calmly and remained calm.
After a brief silence, Selwyn walked back to the bow of the ship and pressed one hand on the cold hull.
"Then, everyone, let's return."
Ice Ship changed direction silently under his control, and the bottom of the boat cut through the rough sea and sailed steadily and quickly in the direction of Port Belen.
