  Chapter 67 Apocalypse Forecast

  Leaving the small building, Ian raised his head and saw that the sky was gloomy with rolling black clouds, and he knew that there might be another thunderstorm at night.

  Recently, the wind and rain in Harrison Port have not been unexpected, and even a little weaker than in previous years, which puzzled many fishermen and felt that it was a gift from God.

   After all, there is a battle going on outside. If the storm is unable to go out of the city to fish, there may be problems with the supply of food.

Staring at the sky that gradually turned purple as the sun set, Ian murmured to himself: "It's just that the natives and the port are still fighting now, even if the beast without a head must have run away long ago, where will it come to me?" What about hunting?"

  The true shape inherited from the Viscount's Mansion, "The Wavesinger", is a true shape that can manipulate sea water, allowing people to breathe in the sea and move freely.

  It was born out of the combination of "sea monster" and "goblin" inherited by the median bloodline, but it doesn't have the power of the sea monster to hypnotize and lure people into illusions with sound waves, and it doesn't have the ability of the goblin to freely control elements and transform the body.

   But in turn, it has specialized the ability to manipulate liquids, which can make waves without wind and propel small ships to move in the sea.

  Just relying on the vibration of the sound, the sea will also make waves. This is the power of the "Wavesinger".

According to Ishiliad's evaluation, this inheritance is for people to be coolies for the crew. If an ocean-going ship is to sail in a calm zone, it often requires several wave-singers to sing in three shifts for a whole day-not to mention the waste of voice, If the singing is not good, it will be extremely tortured for other crew members.

  Even if the wavesinger can be transformed into a siren or elf bloodline in the future, it will not have too much power and can only be used as an auxiliary.

  It is also slightly stronger than the 'wave breaker' who can only swim a little faster.

   But it doesn't matter.

  Elder Purdue will prepare the potion for the Wavesinger even if the boy doesn't tell him.

   But it's nothing more than a disguise. What he really wants to practice must be the highest true form taught by Hilliard, the "Moveless Fortified City".

  The potion materials needed for this inheritance can only be collected by himself.

  The planned hunting target 'Reef-eating Sea Otter' has already determined the location of the nest. If it weren't for this sudden war, he might have settled it long ago.

   "Wait a little longer. If there is no accident, this confrontation will end before winter comes."

  Theoretically, Ian doesn’t have such an urgent need to gain strength.

  In Port Harrison, he is protected by Elder Purdue and Viscount Grant, and Mr. Hilliard is the ultimate insurance. As long as he does not leave the city, his personal safety is guaranteed.

  But he still remembered the **** sea of ​​mist that swept across Harrison Port two months ago.

  The war between the natives and the port may indeed meet the foreseen signs, but it is far from causing the entire port to be filled with blood.

  Ian doesn't know how the future will develop, whether the relatively calm situation in the city can continue to be maintained, but the sense of crisis in his heart always warns him—the big one hasn't come yet.

  The real crisis has not yet begun.

   "It's just the calm before the storm..."

  Ian walked on the street with such worries, gradually approaching his coastal home.

   At this time, there was a sudden noise from the street ahead, which made him look up.

   But at first glance, what he saw was a blazing lightning that penetrated the entire sky and split a gap from the dark clouds.

  —Boom...Boom!

  After a moment of bright light, there is thunder that surpasses all noises!

"what happened?"

  Squinting his eyes, he had already adapted to the changing weather along the coast. Ian was not startled, but discerned carefully. He noticed that the noise started from the port.

  Accompanied by the thunder that suddenly began to explode in the sky, the panicked fishermen and boatmen shouted to Ian along with the humid sea wind into Ian's ears.

   "Sea beasts! Lots and lots of sea beasts!"

   "There has been a change in the far sea, God knows how many sea beasts have taken refuge, they are coming!"

   "Go, call the escort, we have to guard the pier!"

  Sea ships, large and small, rapidly returning to their voyage, gathered from all directions one after another, and behind them, there were large shadows flowing in the sea area.

  Black clouds billowed and heavy rain fell. After being slightly stunned, Ian put the note in his hand into his arms, ran to the high point, and looked at the pier.

  The notes are just for him to show the elders and others, and he has memorized all the contents in his heart, but now is not the time to pretend to be a good student, it will be wet.

  Harrison Harbor is not flat. To be precise, the entire coast of the South China Sea is not so much land as it is a part of the Bison Mountains that has sunk due to geological movements, and part of the floating soil is covered on the uneven peaks of the past.

  Ian quickly arrived at the high platform, and then looked into the distance.

   Immediately afterwards, subconsciously holding his breath, he saw a boiling distant sea.

Looking from the middle of Harrison Harbor, as far as the eye can see, a column of pure white smoke rises suddenly at the end of the sea level. Sea water steamed up into the clouds, and they were so huge that they were like volcanic clouds created by volcanic eruptions.

   But this is not a precursor to a volcanic eruption, because there is no smell of sulfur, just pure heat depositing on the bottom of the sea, boiling the blue ocean.

Above the boiling sea water, dozens of hundreds of smoke columns joined together to form a terrifying cloud wall spanning tens of kilometers. The violent hot wind sent a huge amount of water vapor into the sky, and the continuous clouds continued to move towards Spread in all directions, forming concentric cloud waves.

   And on the topmost layer, there is even the last ray of purple-red sunset glow.

  Lightning flashes between the cloud pillars, causing the cloud pillars to continuously expand and spread between light and dark.

  Amidst the continuous thunder, the convective wind generated more than a dozen tornadoes around it, raging with violent power.

  Everything happens in just five seconds, and the apocalyptic doomsday scene is coming.

"My goodness…"

   Lost in the rainstorm, Ian is rarely shocked, but this time he still couldn't help taking a breath to relieve the sudden acceleration of his heartbeat: "What kind of natural disaster is this?!"

   "A big storm is coming!"

  The terrified shouts of passers-by answered Ian's question, and the crowd on the street began to run wildly, returning to their homes as quickly as possible.

After the terrible storm eight years ago, all the residents of Harrison Port have strengthened the disaster resistance of their houses. The chamber of commerce hall and city hall in the city center, which can serve as a temporary shelter.

  No matter where you go, it's safer than staying outside the house.

   But not only that.

  In the sky above the head, the rain clouds that spread rapidly in the sky like the tide quickly covered the entire sky of the South China Sea.

  At sea, in order to escape the raging cloud pillars and tornadoes, as well as the steaming sea water, countless sea beasts and schools of fish are fleeing in all directions for refuge.

   Among them, some sea beasts that can land are rushing towards Harrison Harbor and the surrounding coast!
