Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 311: The Abnormal School



Chapter 311: The Abnormal School

Lee Shen leaned forward and his chin rested on his right hand's palm which was supported by his thigh and the elbow.

"From all the chaos and destruction, I had the basic outline of what might happen. But I never came to the conclusion that the world would be perishing."

The solemnity in Lee Shen's words made King Aizel nod in agreement.

"Your ruling is on the right track. The recent destruction and disasters that enveloped the continent was only a prelude to what was coming.

So let me address the issue directly.

Millenniums ago, there was a war where all the living beings joined as one unified force to demolish some sentient enemies..."

King Aizel went on describing the continents of Romoke, Chreith, Decarna and Exiriado. Though his information resource was not as deep and diverse as D, he still conveyed the idea and an approximation about these continents.

"The saints and great men of history once predicted that the continents would rise. After compiling the current situation with the contemporary scenarios, we could conclude that the day is near."

King Aizel's voice resembled that of a kind and compassionate professor in a college. His feelings were well expressed through the words. Lee Shen, D and Hudson felt attracted to his way of speaking.

After a small session of discussion, the king, Darwin and Freya bid Lee Shen good night and went to their cabins.

Moments later they disappeared, Jonit emerged from below the deck and offered him room to sleep. But he politely declined the offer after telling him that he likes the breeze of night.

Jonit felt after providing a blanket to Lee. It was made of wool and was soft. Since Jonit did not force him to come down, he could only provide him with something to resist the coldness of the night.

[The King Aizel...he is still wary of you.]

'As a king, he cannot just disclose classified topic to an anybody. He needs to confirm whether I am worthy or not of receiving this information.'

[Also the glow in his eyes...that is something I have never seen.]

[I think that is called a Bloodline Ability. I have read about it when I was alive.]

D was immediately barraged with an array of questions. He waited for the uproar to die down and then spoke-

[According to my memories, Bloodline Ability is a particular skill associated with a specific bloodline. It is widely considered as blessings from the gods. Though none had unlocked the mystery behind these powers, people with Bloodline Ability has an advantage over adventurers and cultivators.

But one factor about Bloodline Ability confuses me. It has been proven that only those born on the continents of Intellus and Chaos could activate their Bloodline Ability. Then how did he...?]

The disclosure made Lee Shen knit his brows.

'D, can we believe your memories?'

[Of course, you can. I am dead but I have not become stupid.]

[Then King Aizel has a reason to travel to Intellus.]

The conversation went on as Lee Shen cuddled next to the Perrafin. The Draconic Wyvern trio also found refuge on the decks of the boat.

The noise of the System Space died down as Lee Shen yawned loud. This made Ruella and Hudson hush down and the voices in the head pacified quickly.

"Good night Zena."

Cuddling against the white furry beast, Zena wrapped her tail around Lee Shen as he slipped into the woollen blanket. Both of them were pushed into deep slumber within seconds.

In sleep, time passes at different rates. Sometimes you take a nap and hours might have passed. Sometimes a long and refreshing sleep would have only had half an hour duration.

Perhaps it is because of the serenity of the breeze that Lee Shen's fatigue was quickly washed away. It could also be the reason why Lee Shen was not pissed off when Aero woke him.

With sluggishness attributed from the sleep, Lee Shen sat up silently and removed the blanket. His blank eyes caught Aero staring at him.

"Why did you wake me?"

*silent yawn*

The expression conveyed that the sleep was so addictive that it was not adequate. If Aero did not present a valid reason, Lee would leap back into the sleep.

Aero took a glance at Zena sleeping near him. Then he focused back on Lee.

After staring into Lee Shen's eyes for a brief second, Aero turned his head to his right and indicated him to take a look.

As soon as he stood up, the sight that welcomed him was beautiful and endangering.

Like fireflies, there were countless balls periodically glowing in the sea. The sight was immense and the number of these glowing masses were beyond hundreds.

But when Lee caught the glance of a set of sharp teeth quietly swimming behind the illuminating balls, he lowered his head and continued to observe.

'Why do they resemble Anglerfishes?'

[Because they are called Tight-lipped Sea Fishers. They are gigantic and ruthless versions of Anglerfishes.]

'Oh, okay. But why did the wyvern wake me up?'

Lee Shen raised his head and stared at Aero for a second. The beast understood his demand and conveyed the message inaudibly.

{Something is wrong with these fishes.}

With knit brows, Lee Shen observed the fishes again. It took him some time to figure out what Aero actually implied.

[No wonder the beast wake you up. These fishes are individual hunters. If they team up, then the chances of a successful meal will dwindle.]

When Lee took a glance at the other ship, he saw Pyro and Cryo looking at him. They were sitting on the ship with near to no motion.

The fact that Cryo is still not used to the open ocean made him retreat to the ship at night. Pyro, needless to say, was very uncomfortable with the surroundings.

[Hey Lee, did you notice the direction they are swimming in?]
