As one of the referees in the Rising Stars competition, Angel is quite familiar with Reynolds' fighting level.
Although relevant gossip magazines often focus on "luck" when talking about Reynolds' matches, this is just a bias of public opinion. What readers like to see are gimmicks, and plain battles are naturally not as interesting as John's counterattack.
.
But if you think about it carefully, you will understand that if Reynolds had only been lucky, he would not have been able to stand on the stage of the Rising Stars Game all the time.
Reynolds himself also has quite powerful combat capabilities.
Even in terms of hand-to-hand combat ability, he is not much weaker than Nausicaa. Although his ranking in the end is not too high, there are some unavoidable objective factors in it.
Reynolds did not dare and could not use soul weapons in the game, and many of Reynolds' combat systems revolved around soul weapons. Without soul weapons, his strength would be reduced by half.
After using the soul weapon, Angel felt that he could enter the top ten in the Rising Star Competition.
To make a comparison, Reynolds is in the top ten when fighting with all his strength, and the top 30 people in the laboratory are all better than him... This means that in the current era, except for official wizards, the top 30 people are already better than him...
Standing at the peak of the wave set off by extraordinary beings.
Although they are only wizard apprentices, they can cultivate so many powerful top apprentices, and the organization behind them should not be underestimated.
"Has the strength of No. 30 reached the peak of apprenticeship?" Nice pondered for a moment and asked Reynolds: "Are there any among them who have reached the level of official wizard?"
"Yes." Reynolds said with certainty: "No. 03, No. 02, and No. 01. Although I have never seen the strength of these three, the attitude of other number personnel around them and various other signs can show that.
, they have reached official wizard status.”
Nice frowned slightly: "There are actually three official wizards, which is quite profound. However, if they are official wizards, they shouldn't be so anonymous... Do they have official nicknames or names?"
Reynolds shook his head: "Maybe, but I don't know. We are all called by numbers internally."
"So what do they look like?"
Reynolds shook his head again: "They have always worn hoods. I have never been in close contact with them when they were awake... I only know that except for No. 03, who is female, the other two are male."
When he was a living experimental subject, he had close contact on the experimental table, but when he lay on the experimental table, he basically lost his normal thinking ability and couldn't remember the other person's appearance at all.
Nice: "Three official wizards with unknown faces. Will they be local wizards in the Southern Region? Or do they come from other places...or rather, the numbers 01, 02, and 03 are just their private identities. They are on the surface.
Is there any other identity?”
Nice could not guess the identity of the other party, so he could only give up temporarily and motioned to Reynolds to continue.
"Besides these three, there is another thing that may need attention." Reynolds hesitated for more than ten seconds before saying, "I heard about this from No. 11."
Reynolds briefly introduced the number 11.
He is one of the few moderates in the laboratory, or at least he is moderate on the surface, and his attitude towards these experimental subjects is relatively friendly.
No. 11 has a well-known hobby. He has no resistance to mana algae powder.
Therefore, they, the tool workers whose number starts with
After No. 11 smoked mana algae powder, he was like a drunk person, with basically no control over his mouth, and often revealed a lot of secret information.
Once, Reynolds learned a secret about the laboratory from the "Hi" No. 11.
——On top of number 01, there is also number 00.
"This was said by No. 11 himself, but after he said it, he seemed to feel it was inappropriate and immediately shut up. No matter how we asked, he never spoke again."
Reynolds: "This is the first time I've heard of number 00. I've never seen it before."
"No. 00, it sounds like a secret existence." Ness murmured to himself in a low voice.
"I don't know if No. 00 really exists. However, even if No. 00 does exist, the other party should not be in the laboratory."
Reynolds has lived in the laboratory for decades and has seen all the numbers from far and near, but there is absolutely no number 00 among them. If he hadn't accidentally heard about number 11, he would never have thought about it.
"If No. 00 really exists, according to the division of strength, it will probably be the strongest among all numbered characters." Nice looked at Angel: "No matter what, we still need to pay attention, don't let it happen because of our incompetence.
I paid attention and overturned."
Angel nodded, keeping the situation of No. 00 in mind, and then asked some questions about the people with the first number. However, Reynolds knew very little, and the first number rarely showed up, so there was no way to collect information, so he could only
Give up.
During the time of asking and answering, the time also came to noon.
"The time has come." Angel closed the case of his pocket watch, "Now let's see if the ocean currents will really change."
While speaking, Angel stretched out his mental tentacles outside the force field, and sensed the changes in the ocean current through the shaking of the tentacles in the soft waves.
However, the spiritual tentacles were swaying from side to side like the long brown algae on the seabed.
From a macro perspective, the ocean current has a general direction, but when focusing on one place, the ocean current will be very chaotic, turning left and right. In Angel's mind, the direction of the ocean current is a single point.
Arrows, and at this time, these single arrows were pointing in any direction, swaying like dancing ribbons, making it impossible to determine the specific direction.
Angel explained this situation, and Reynolds said: "This is a normal phenomenon. Don't worry. The changes in the sea currents that determine the location of the laboratory are very obvious and are not affected by these details."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "As long as it appears, you can definitely feel it."
Seeing that Reynolds' words were so certain, Angel felt that this was somewhat inconsistent with the laws of nature, but thinking about it... Talking about the laws of nature in the Devil's Sea, wasn't it a joke?
What's more, this place belongs to the restricted area of the Devil's Sea - the fog zone.
Any abnormal phenomenon is possible here. Since Reynolds is sure of what he said, let's just wait and see what happens.
Everyone stopped talking, each using different methods, waiting for the change of the sea current.
Time passed minute by minute, and the change in the sea current had not yet occurred, but the quiet atmosphere was broken... by Dangros.
Dangros didn't say anything, he just kept rubbing and making some rustling noises.
Angel turned his head and looked over, and it immediately stopped. Without looking at it, it started to continue, as if it was deliberately making some noise to refresh its sense of existence.
When they got to the back, Toby became impatient and called out to Dangros who was hanging on the Bloody Night Shelter.
"Jigujigu——"
When Dangros faced Toby, he naturally acted like a dog: "Master Toby, do you have anything to tell me?"
However, Dangross and Toby had their own language isolation, and Dangross couldn't understand what Toby was saying at all.
Angel could only help Toby translate: "It is greeting you cordially. What were you dawdling about before?"
Of course, what Toby calls "kindness" is Angel's polite embellishment when interpreting.
Dangros hesitated for a moment and then said: "I, I was..."
Before the stuttering Dangros could finish his words, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the distance. Angel immediately made a "silence" gesture to Dangros and listened attentively.
The buzzing sound does not come from sea beasts. It is the sound of the sea, the hum of the sea.
"It's coming! It's coming!" Reynolds also floated up at this time, facing the direction where the buzzing sound came from, and shouted in surprise.
As his words fell, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the distance and quickly approached their location.
At first Angel thought it was the purple giant beast coming back with the buzzing sound, but after taking a closer look, he realized that the black shadows were not creatures. In other words, they were not all creatures in the sea, but various sand and gravels.
After the particles are lifted up, they roll in with the rolling sea currents, forming a special phenomenon of flying sand and rocks.
Along with the incoming black shadow, the flying sand and the fine mayfly creatures rushed towards the face.
"So this is the ocean current." Angel thought to himself. No wonder Reynolds said that the direction of the laboratory can be determined by the ocean current. This ocean current is really too conspicuous.
"Let's go." Angel maintained the force field and headed upstream against the crazy surge.
The ocean currents flowed wildly on the bottom of the sea, leaving dust everywhere they passed and corals shattered all over the place, just like a hurricane passing by.
On the sea surface, huge waves formed one after another.
It looks very crazy and very dangerous.
But for Angel and others, such a scene is really nothing. In terms of danger, it is not even comparable to the sea wall that Angel encountered before.
They moved quickly along the direction of the current.
In the middle, they inevitably encountered some sea beasts washed by the sea currents, but these sea beasts could not even resist the sea currents, let alone pose a threat to Angel and the others.
The roaring current lasted for more than ten minutes before it began to calm down slightly.
However, even if the sea surface became relatively calm, the currents on the bottom of the sea were still very turbulent and could continue to point them in a clear direction.
After struggling for about half an hour, they arrived at a rocky sea area filled with dust.
"I seem to have some impression of the landform here. It should be not far from the laboratory." It was Nausicaa who spoke. Through the dim light of the force field, she saw the general environment around her, and then she made a certain judgment.
After Nausicaa finished speaking, she looked at Reynolds, trying to seek his approval. However, Reynolds' expression was slightly dazed.
"Reynolds, what's wrong with you?" Nausicaa asked.
It took Reynolds a while to come back to his senses: "Nothing, I...I was just thinking that this place is very close to the laboratory, but I still don't feel anything."
Reynolds looked into the distance, as if through the turbid seawater, he saw the underwater laboratory full of steel bars and machinery: "I have some doubts, is my body really in the laboratory?"
Reynolds' question reminded everyone of the two prophecy hints given by the Mayan witch in the Wilderness of Dreams.
"Your physical body is in a cold environment, and may even be frozen. This kind of freezing is beneficial and harmless to your physical body."
"Around your body, I hear human whispers."
According to their speculations on the two prophecy prompts, Reynolds' physical body should have been saved by someone, and it is very likely that Reynolds' physical body was in a scene similar to the "Healing Ice Coffin".
Precisely because of such speculation and the fact that there were no human settlements nearby, they all agreed that Reynolds' body should have been picked up by people in the laboratory. After all, the person who perfectly satisfied the two prophecies was found in the foggy belt.
In a known environment, currently only the laboratory can do this.
But now we are very close to the laboratory. According to the natural attraction of the physical body to the soul body, it stands to reason that Reynolds should have a vague sense. But the reality is that Reynolds still has no sense, which is a bit strange.
"...Perhaps there are magic patterns in the laboratory that interfere with perception." Nausicaa said.
Reynolds: "If that's the case, that's fine."
They were afraid that they had guessed wrong and Reynolds' body was not in the laboratory.
Reynolds shook his head and put aside the worries in his heart for the time being. Regardless of whether his body was in the laboratory or not, he had to go to the laboratory in order to remove the imprint of his soul.
We can wait until he gets to the laboratory to discuss everything.
Reynolds regained his composure, looked around, and said to everyone: "We are about to enter the area patrolled by guards. We must be careful."
"Although there are no guards around here, there are some grazing sea beasts patrolling here. The strength of these sea beasts cannot be underestimated."
At this point, Reynolds sighed softly: "It would have been nice if we hadn't been discovered by the monster left on the 17th. We could have followed the past rules of grazing sea monsters, avoided their routes in advance, and secretly
Sneaked into the laboratory."
"Now that they are vigilant, they will definitely change the path of the sea beast. It will be difficult to sneak in without being alarmed."
As soon as Reynolds sighed, he heard a cold snort: "Who told you it was difficult?"
It was Ness who spoke. He glanced at Reynolds and said, "That's because you are not strong enough. If you really want to hide the sea beast, there are many ways."
After Ness said that, he was about to show off the shielding ability of a soul system, but before it could take action, a circle of air ripples appeared around them. Immediately afterwards, their bodies, smells, and all remaining pheromones disappeared.
not see.
Even the faint light of the force field was hidden.
"This is...an illusion."
The liberator is undoubtedly Angel.
Nice wanted to complain a few words, but saw that Angel ignored him at all and looked straight into the distance.
Nice hesitated for a moment and followed Angel's gaze.
Still nothing can be seen with the naked eye, except darkness and dust.
However, through the fluctuation of the water flow, Nice clearly sensed that a large creature was swimming in the direction where they were...
