Chapter 1300 - 515: Ascension Peak (Part 2)

Although Alka had never seen the church form of the Seed of Life, it is said to resemble a giant plant-like structure. So if it were in this forest, it would be almost indistinguishable from a distance.

The Sound of Dawn began to circle the island and moved forward.

They were now sailing close to the island and could clearly see the buildings on the island.

As they rounded the back of the forest, a large number of buildings began to reveal themselves. Across from them, where their gaze could reach, the slopes and vegetation which had been blocking the view also became slightly lower, and without those obstructions, they could clearly see the architectural style here.

The style was exactly the same as those buildings they had seen from a distance on the mountainside, evidently adopting such a style for a unified look by the people here.

Among these, one could see many large, almost wonder-like giant structures, which also matched the style.

These peculiar buildings exuded an ancient aura just from looking at them.

Every pillar and stone slab of the buildings seemed to bear the weight of ancient times.

"That should be the church of the Holy Machine Church, right?" Pororo pointed in a direction and said.

Although the church’s appearance intentionally matched the surrounding style, the peculiar metal components and the inevitable gear sign still made it strikingly conspicuous in such a place.

Even though this building was trying hard to integrate into the style here, it still seemed somewhat out of place.

"Sometimes I just have to complain, your church’s aesthetic style is a bit offline." Jason couldn’t help but turn to Simon and say when looking at the out-of-place building.

Because it did indeed somewhat affect the overall look of the surroundings.

Upon hearing this, Simon could only helplessly retort, "It’s just that we’re not suitable for this style, like in Power City, it would be weird if you built this kind of architecture too."

Though the argument was a bit weak, the others nodded in understanding. Generally speaking, while their aesthetic might sometimes be offline, the Holy Machine Church’s mechanical aesthetic was quite good.

For instance, this Mechanical Divine Hall they were looking at, while it stood out in the entire atmosphere, wasn’t bad when viewed on its own.

Soon they saw a large number of ships.

They were about to reach the port.

At this moment, they saw a gigantic arch spanning at least a hundred or two hundred meters.

Or somewhat like a crossbridge.

On top of the arch, there were buildings and glazed tiles, with pavilions and towers layered one upon another.

However, what spoiled the view was that among the overlapping pavilions, protruding were rows of cannon muzzles.

The elemental light dots swirling around the arch were clearly some kind of elemental array or equipment.

Is this arch actually a defense-type fortress?

The port was just beyond the arch.

"Upon arriving here, I don’t think the appearance of our Sound of Dawn will be so noticeable," Juanlu couldn’t help but say as he looked at the ships coming and going around them.

The most common here were, of course, some rather ordinary ships.

One could also see the Holy Machine Church’s ironclad ships, and the Holy Mother Church’s grand warships made of gold and pure white.

There were also ships from the Life Seed Church, adorned like plants with greenery and flowers on their sails.

Beyond that, there were all sorts of oddly-shaped ships to be seen.

For example, Alka and the others saw a giant sea turtle swimming by from not far away, carrying a cluster of buildings on its back.

On top of the buildings, there were even cannons, clearly indicating this was a "ship" built on a sea turtle’s back.

There were also ships of the same type, except the sea turtle was replaced by a massive fish, similar to what Alka and the others had seen just as they entered the forward sailing path.

"No wonder this is the famous Landmark Island of the entire Endless Sea." Chadite couldn’t help but say, looking at the scenery they had encountered along the way.

They hadn’t even set foot on the island yet, but what they saw just from the periphery was enough to be breathtaking.

Alka and their ship basically attracted no attention at all—after all, wasn’t it just a tree on a ship? Very normal.

Thus, they calmly sailed into the port, then, with the help of a guiding ship, arrived at a berth storing ships.

After securely docking the ship, they could feel an invisible vein of magic power connected to the bottom of the ship, seeming to be conducting repairs and maintenance.

The Sound of Dawn did not give any uncomfortable feedback.

The crowd on deck looked towards the port.

The pier of the port was bustling, and they could see what should be local defense soldiers busily weaving through the crowd. They looked focused, and their strength was surprisingly around the Third Stage.

This was not the World Scar, yet if even the strength of port soldiers was at the Third Stage, the peak that ordinary people could reach, it was enough to illustrate the military might here.

Large quantities of supplies were being transported onboard various ships through the abilities of treasure, spells, or even the simplest mechanical railing.

The port’s dock stretched almost beyond what the eye could see, visibly divided into various zones with different functionalities.

Here seemed to be a rather prosperous, clean, and tidy place.

"Coming to a place like this, we must take a good stroll, everyone, let’s rest for a day and deal with our business tomorrow," Alka couldn’t help but say, looking at the bustling city.
