Chapter 418: Lingering Sound of the Waves
The natural disaster caused by the ash tide became the most important news in the following days.
All countries in the world experienced different degrees of disasters.
In Y, the local area, the number of casualties has already exceeded three thousand.
The coastal cities of Europa and the Ming Country will have even more people.
In the midst of the natural disaster, the four-digit number of casualties may seem acceptable, but the impact it brings is very clear and horrifying.
There are also survivors who have escaped from the hands of the cult of the Evil God, so many casualties were actually caused by the cult of the Evil God. This news quickly spread, triggering a strong resistance from the public.
There was a constant stream of reports on various media news sections, calling for the government to launch a war against Goryeo Island, creating a public opinion storm.
However, such slogans can only be shouted at most.
For the Shogunate, relying solely on the power of Yingzhou alone cannot permanently suppress the evil god catastrophe of Goryeo Island. It is necessary to unite the forces of multiple countries to carry out suppression together.
The Ming Country is not very eager about this, and the Four Seas Group is also inactive. The more distant Europa and the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom don’t directly border Goryeo Island, so their willingness is naturally even lower.
Shouting back and forth, in the end, it was only voices echoing outside their own doors.
People who haven’t actually suffered any harm started holding processions, while ordinary people who have truly lost loved ones are steeped in grief, preparing for funerals.
The sorrows and joys of different people don’t resonate with each other. Some stay silent, while others make a fuss.
The music festival disbanded halfway due to the gray tide accident, and as a result, Hatsurai Wagaizuma’s performance could not be heard.
She had planned to use the music festival as a launch for her new album, but encountering this incident, she could only let it go.
Hatsurai Wagaizuma selected a slow-paced, sentimental hometown song from her album, made some changes to the lyrics, and held a ticket-free concert in Sapporo, Hokkaido, calling for over ten thousand people to gather in the park.
Everyone held candles in their hands, offering prayers for the departed accompanied by music.
The whole concert was very quiet. Besides the soothing singing to remember the deceased, the flickering shadows of people and the flying lanterns made the concert very impressive.
There was constant trouble in places like Honshu and Shikoku, and the most affected area, Hokkaido, remained relatively calm and restrained. The media praised Hatsurai Wagaizuma for her contribution to this and praised her.
Although this charity event didn’t bring any economic benefits, the increase in popularity indirectly ensured that she could enjoy the dividends for many years to come. Some jealous competitors dare not say too much, and many fans also became her supporters.
As for whether this is a blood-stained bread… it depends on different perspectives.
In fact, it also utilized the influence of this disaster, but it also brought positive effects. In the end, it was a win-win situation.
Hatsurai Wagaizuma has been busy as a singer and performer lately, with no time to spare. She is busy preparing for albums, TV appearances, and charity events, naturally having no time to meet people from the Ming Country.
After leaving the broken paradise, Bai Wei stayed temporarily in Hokkaido. Since he was there, he thought of taking the opportunity to travel and relax.
Most of the other troubles have been resolved, and the evil god’s conspiracies have been defeated once again. It definitely didn’t succeed. Evidence can be seen from the ‘Enemy of the Evil God’ title on Bai Wei’s head, which has evolved into ‘Great Enemy of the Evil God’. The level of hatred has greatly increased. In the eyes of evil god followers, Bai Wei will definitely be targeted wherever he goes.
Although it is not clear who the evil god is plotting to kill, it has already failed, and Bai Wei currently has no way to uncover the truth.
The most difficult problem right now is the account exchange between Yagyū Simozi and Guan Ling.
He couldn’t leave his sister alone and go back to the Yagyū residence until this matter was resolved.
It’s quite troublesome because they don’t know what name to call each other.
Every time Guan Ling called Simozi, it felt awkward for Yagyū Simozi, and there was always a subtle look from Guan Ling in Yagyū Simozi’s body.
Bai Wei knew who was responsible, he just needed to find the culprit. However, it was difficult to catch the elusive Demon Cat Yumeko.
He had to think of a different way.
On the following night, Bai Wei logged into Europa.
But instead of meeting Michelle, they needed some time to cool down and regain their distance. It wasn’t suitable for them to meet at the moment.
He found Judy instead.
Judy stayed at the Tulip Academy to study magic and is currently applying for a scholarship from the bloodline community to buy a magical artifact using money.
She wasn’t involved in this event, but it has been two days and a night, so even the slowest person should be aware of the situation’s development.
While Bai Wei logged in, Judy was watching TV and reading the newspaper to understand the impact of the current wave of ash.
After the news report ended, Bai Wei finally asked about the incident.
Judy almost choked as she half sank into the pool, and then she complained to Bai Wei, saying she was taking a bath.
Bai Wei had a blank expression, thinking to himself, "Haven’t you always been confident about your body?"
Of course, he didn’t enter the bathroom, but rather questioned her from outside the door.
The situation in Europa is just as bad as in Hokkaido.
The Tulip Academy lost as many as five students, with two of them directly ending up in an ashes urn.
Many ordinary people were affected by the disaster, with thousands of people injured or missing. The exact extent of the damage is still being determined, but it has had a significant impact. As a result of the sudden halt in the city’s operations, there were multiple traffic accidents and incidents such as gas explosions.
The level of modernization in Europa is higher than that of Hokkaido, so the actual property damage is much more severe.
Judy found it strange that Bai Wei didn’t mention anything about Michelle’s safety.
Bai Wei didn’t answer.
Poor Miss Judy still thought she was in the lead, but in reality, Michelle had overtaken her.
After gaining a basic understanding of the disaster situation in Europa, Bai Wei started to take action.
He took out the ring that Demon Cat Yumeko had given him, preparing to summon it here.
The demonly being made it clear that within Yingzhou, they were enemies, but once they left Yingzhou, they were no longer bound and could cooperate.
Bai Wei truly needed its exceptional information-gathering abilities, and both sides agreed on this point.
Only Yumeko can solve the soul exchange, and the only way to find it is by going around in circles.
Bai Wei started summoning Yumeko, trying multiple times in a row, feeling a sense of connection but all attempts failed.
After all, this place is far away from Yingzhou in Europa, with endless seas in between. Yumeko might not be able to come over in a short time.
Bai Wei is able to consciously travel far and journey with his soul because there is a golden tree as an anchor point. It is a special plant rooted in the sea of the spiritual world.
It is necessary to mention the overall geographical structure of this world.
There are two continents in the east and west, with two oceans in between.
One of the oceans is called the Endless Sea, which is navigable on the surface. Taking this route by sea is the shortest distance and the direct pathway between the east and west.
However, since it is called the Endless Sea, it implies that its area is very wide, but in reality, it is the smallest ocean in the world, which is somewhat contradictory.
The history of Europa and the history of the east have distinct differences. Historians usually believe that before the integration of the eastern and western worlds, before the chaotic era in the west, the two worlds were separated. They didn’t exist in the same material plane, just like a cliff-like waterfall. The waterfall that separates them is called the Endless Sea, which also carries extremely deep mysteries.
The endless sea is wide and deep. With the connection cut off from the Great Wilderness, the heavenly realm, and the human realm, the Western War has ended… The two worlds have become connected, and the endless sea has transformed from an unattainable waterfall into an ocean that can be crossed physically.
However, although the surface of the endless sea can be sailed upon, there is another world beneath the water.
The dragon clan of the Four Seas Group also doesn’t dare to easily venture into the depths of the endless sea. They often use another ocean on the other side of the Earth, which is located behind the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. They have to take a longer route in order to reach the back of the Europa continent.
The name of the endless sea on the dragon clan’s side is actually called the desolate sea. In the era of the Great Wilderness, the dragon clan, although powerful, was not dominant. In order to fight for more living space, whenever an additional true dragon appeared in the clan, it would lead the sea clan to actively explore the desolate sea. This is how the different true dragons created the East Sea, West Sea, North Sea, and South Sea dragon clans.
It will definitely take some time for Yumeko’s soul to be positioned to Europa across the sea. Although the connection is not completely severed, the summoning still failed. Bai Wei had already anticipated this outcome, so he wasn’t surprised.
If Yumeko cannot be summoned in Europa, then where should they go for the summoning?
The best location would naturally be a country in the east close to Yingzhou. The Ming Country, Goryeo Island, and the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom are all suitable.
However, the ash tide is still a problem. It is likely that they will have to wait until January or February of the next year for the ash tide to completely disperse. Simozi and Guan Ling cannot wait for that long, and Bai Wei himself doesn’t have that much patience either.
After the failed experiment, Bai Wei briefly instructed Judy on her recent assignments, and then took the opportunity while she was busy preparing for a lingerie show to make a swift escape.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Bai Wei was stressed between his sister and Guan Ling when he received a phone call, bringing a turning point to the situation.
On the other end of the phone was Xue Hanlei, and the message was…
