CHAPTER 132: AMELIA’S ADVANCEMENT

At this moment, even Amber’s heart was greatly shaken. She never expected to see such a ship appear here.

This was clearly an alchemy ship!

Carlotta and Amelia boarded the Moonlight, and immediately piloted the ship towards the center of the lake, away from the shore.

This scene made Amber hesitate. She knew what an alchemy ship represented. The magic contained within such a ship was astonishing, enough to contend with a peak tier Listener.

"So this is the capital of their confidence?"

Amber whispered.

After much thought, she felt that as long as she was careful, an alchemy ship might not be able to do anything to her. After all, she was not a simple person, but a peak tier Listener, and she cultivated long-range Sword Aura Knight path.

With this in mind, Amber continued to gather starlight and then attack fiercely, repeatedly swinging her sword towards the alchemy ship’s location. Brilliant and boundless light appeared, and sword aura after sword aura howled and slashed forward. Each sword aura was a starlight sword qi, and more than ten were unleashed continuously.

More than ten sword aura attacks arrived immediately, like spreading starlight, fiercely bombarding the Moonlight’s shield. The Moonlight was immediately blasted out of its stealth state.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!"

The sword aura bombarded one after another, causing ripples to appear on the Moonlight’s shield. The entire ship was hit by the force of the bombardment, causing it to slide across the lake.

Carlotta and the other two naturally would not just take the hits. They immediately activated the light cannons, and brilliant beams of light shot out from the Moonlight, blasting towards Amber from afar.

Amber dodged all of these attacks with her agile movements. Under the carpet bombing of the light beams, the lakeshore was immediately riddled with holes, looking extremely desolate.

Her gaze swept across, and all the functions that an alchemy ship could possess surfaced in her mind.

The functions of an alchemy ship were actually related to the alchemist’s bestowal during the construction process. Every alchemy ship was different.

However, alchemists also had their own styles, or schools. Sometimes, if one could determine the school of an alchemy ship, one could infer its approximate capabilities based on the habits of that school.

"This alchemy ship is not in the style of the Kingdom of Brandon. It’s a bit like the style of the Wendell Empire. I remember there are eighteen schools of alchemy construction in the Wendell Empire. This is the one that leans most towards entertainment, a romantic school of alchemy."

Amber whispered.

Although she was the commander of a city’s defense force, seemingly unrelated to alchemy, she had actually studied alchemy specifically for a long time. While she hadn’t mastered alchemy very well, she was very clear about some of the intricacies of alchemy.

Amber looked at the Moonlight on the lake and said indifferently, "Your capital is somewhat laughable. The alchemy ships of the Wendell Empire’s romantic school only have three attack capabilities: light cannons, deep-sea torpedoes, and the Moon God Cannon. To injure me, you can only use the Moon God Cannon, but with such slow attacks, based on what I know, how do you think you can injure me?"

She stood on the surface of the lake, absorbing the starlight all around, occasionally unleashing starlight sword qi. Her intention was to deplete the Moonlight’s stored magic power.

On the Moonlight.

Carlotta and Amelia looked at each other.

Amber wasn’t talking to herself just now, and they had heard her last sentence.

This was truly beyond their expectations. Amber actually knew something about alchemy, and even knew the methods possessed by the Moonlight, which was something neither Carlotta nor Amelia knew.

"So our Moonlight is that ’romantic school’ ship? Is this a standard alchemy ship?"

Carlotta was a little stunned.

Amelia thought for a moment and said, "It should be said that it’s an alchemy ship of the same general direction, but many details are different. However, since she knows about the Moon God Cannon, we indeed have no way to deal with her using this attack."

"Then we can only keep running away?"

Carlotta was immediately troubled.

Was she being too confident? She had found such a place and planned to stay and deal with the opponent, but in the end, she learned that her ultimate weapon, the Moon God Cannon, was useless.

Without the Moon God Cannon, was she supposed to deal with Amber herself?

However, based on their previous clashes, Carlotta judged that it was still difficult for her to contend with a peak tier Listener. Relying on the extreme speed provided by the speed card for self-preservation was already her limit.

"No need to escape, let’s just stall for now."

Amelia said after thinking.

"Do you have any other methods?"

Carlotta asked.

Amelia pondered for a moment and said, "I’m not sure if it will work. In any case, I’ll leave the Moonlight for you to control. I’ll adjust myself quietly, and perhaps I’ll have a chance to become a Listener."

Carlotta’s eyes immediately lit up.

Amelia had become a ninth-tier apprentice long before her, and she was already very close to becoming a Listener. If it were Amelia, becoming an early tier Listener might indeed be able to deal with a peak tier Listener.

"Then I’ll leave it to you, Amelia. But don’t rush. If it doesn’t work out, I can just carry you and run."

Carlotta smiled.

She didn’t want to put any pressure on Amelia. After all, she didn’t dislike the idea of carrying Amelia and running. Moreover, think about it carefully, if they weren’t running away, what excuse would she have to carry Amelia usually?

Amelia changed at Carlotta and smiled slightly, "Then I’ll go into the cabin first."

As Amelia entered the cabin, Carlotta controlled the Moonlight and continued to fire light cannons, specifically targeting the incoming sword qi, intending to detonate them in advance.

Because these sword aura were tracking, it was useless for her to dodge them; they would catch up sooner or later. However, with a large number of light cannons fired, there was a chance to detonate the starlight sword aura in advance.

"To fight an alchemy ship alone, it’s truly admirable."

Carlotta’s eyes were filled with a fiery passion as she watched.

She wondered when she could reach this point. If she became an early tier Listener, could she achieve this?

She was now also a ninth-tier apprentice. The next step was to become a Listener, a realm that was no longer too far away for her.

For a moment, Carlotta was lost in thought, controlling the Moonlight while contemplating her future path.

The Elven Knight Path had twelve movements in total. Carlotta had already mastered the first nine movements.

The remaining were the tenth movement, Elven Melody, the eleventh movement, Elven Rhapsody, and the twelfth movement, Elven Symphony!

Regarding the tenth movement, Elven Melody, Carlotta already had a good understanding of it due to the information provided. Once she became a Listener, she would be able to execute this movement very well.

The question was, how to break through?

Listeners would have a stronger perception of magic, able to detect the changes in the elements of heaven and earth. They could absorb higher quality elements to become their own magic, thereby continuously purifying their magic to strengthen themselves.

Carlotta suddenly thought that she was currently in the inner area of the Sky Island. The elements in this area were already high-quality. As long as she absorbed the elements properly and converted them into magic, she would naturally be able to purify her own magic.

"Doing two things at once isn’t impossible."

Carlotta muttered.

She pulled off the Rose Cross and began to perform the Elven Knight Path on the deck. Her figure weaved and turned, but at the same time, she was also distracted, controlling the Moonlight to unleash its light cannons to bombard the numerous starlight sword energies that were approaching.

"Rumble!"

The beams and sword energies collided, and explosions continuously erupted in the sky above the lake. Clusters of water splashed everywhere, and the entire lake began to boil, as if it were about to be boiled.

Such a scene was very bizarre. The many Listeners who followed Amber surrounded the lake and watched the center. When they saw Carlotta on the deck of the Moonlight, swinging her sword as if dancing, everyone’s expression was indescribably strange.

"What is she doing? She’s still in the mood to dance at a time like this?"

"Isn’t that the Elven Knight Path? But... what’s the point of cultivating the Elven Knight Path at a time like this?"

"Putting aside everything else, her posture at this moment is still very beautiful. The Elven Knight Path is indeed the most aesthetically pleasing knight technique."

"It’s just a final dance before death."

Everyone whispered, appearing very relaxed. Even though Carlotta and Amelia had an alchemical ship, which had startled them at first, they now understood that an alchemical ship couldn’t change anything.

Time ticked by.

The Moonlight and Amber’s long-range bombardment continued for a long time, boiling the lake and collapsing the shores. Endless radiance illuminated the night.

Inside the cabin.

No matter how loud the sounds were outside, or how much the hull shook, with the enhancement of the alchemy formation, the interior of the cabin remained quiet, isolating the sound and also the vibrations.

Amelia sat in a chair, her eyes quietly closed, as if she were asleep. In reality, she was recalling every moment of her life.

Perhaps it was because she had cultivated memory magic, but every scene in her memory was exceptionally clear. She could even recall the scene of her birth, her mother’s joyous expression when she received her daughter, which was still so clear. Those hands had held her tightly in her embrace, filled with doting affection.

The feelings that existed in her memories, accompanied by recollection, could all be clearly presented.

The feeling of being carried by Carlotta as she dashed through the mountains and forests was also so clear. Below her neck and in the crook of her legs were Carlotta’s arms, holding her with earnest care. When running, because she was pressed against Carlotta’s chest, she could occasionally even hear Carlotta’s heartbeat.

All the memories were as fresh as a city after rain, providing Amelia with excellent conditions for construction. Anything that had appeared in her memory, theoretically, she could recreate in the world.

Of course, the degree of recreation depended on her current level and the abundance of her magic.

"I can feel it, the flow of magic."

Amelia slowly opened her eyes.

She tilted her ear to listen, and faintly heard the sounds emitted by the elements permeating heaven and earth.

Some sounds were jubilant, while a small portion of the sounds seemed dispirited.

Almost instinctively, Amelia filtered out those slightly negative sounds, although such sounds were very few. She absorbed those jubilant sounds, allowing many elements to pour into her body, rapidly purifying her own magic.

Perhaps it was the first time she had done something like this, but the effect was astonishingly good. A large amount of pure elements poured in, causing her magic to continuously increase and become even more refined.

"Listener, I have finally reached this point."

Amelia got up from the chair, feeling the power within herself, her mood somewhat subtle.

An apprentice was still an apprentice, the most basic of transcendent beings. But the Listener was entirely different; they had stepped onto another level.

Apprentices were divided into nine tiers. Listeners, starting from there, each tier was only divided into early, middle, and peak tier. This fully illustrated that Listeners and apprentices were two entirely different levels.

It could be said that by becoming a Listener, one had truly embarked on the transcendent path.

It was time to resolve some issues.

Feeling her surging magic, Amelia’s heart was filled with strong confidence. Even a peak tier Listener didn’t feel like an insurmountable opponent.

She walked out of the cabin and quickly came to the deck, then a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Even she hadn’t expected that Carlotta would still be cultivating on the deck at such a time. Was this a unique logic of action that only geniuses possessed?

In Amelia’s opinion, she wasn’t a genius at all; she merely had a better background. Carlotta was the true genius, destined to catch up to her, and even surpass her.

She glanced at Carlotta, who was somewhat immersed in her cultivation, and Amelia didn’t disturb her. Instead, she walked out.

She leaped out of the Moonlight, but instead of falling into the lake, she floated in mid-air.

Because behind her, a pair of thin wings had appeared. They were a pair of transparent wings with a faint, soft white color, constructed by Amelia using her memory magic.

She had seen eagles and could construct eagle wings to fly. She had also seen swans and various kinds of birds. However, she had also seen elves.

Compared to flying with the wings of other races, Elven Wings were undoubtedly a more suitable choice.

As the wings, as thin as cicada wings, fluttered, they propelled Amelia forward.

Amber noticed Amelia’s appearance immediately, and her expression became subtle.

She looked at Amelia flying towards her, and then at the wings behind Amelia.

"Constructing wings with memory magic? To be able to achieve this just after entering the Listener stage is extraordinary."

Amber murmured.

Although memory magic was relatively rare, it had existed for a long time, and Amber had heard of it to some extent.
