The Seven Yao Aurora followed the Jackdaw and the Sagittarius from a distance, calmly sailing on the surface of the Tatsukai. The Jackdaw and the Sagittarius, both two-masted medium-sized schooners with spinnakers, were the most classic cruisers of the Holy Auckland Imperial Navy, the Senna class, and so far, this type of ship, as well as various subsequent revisions, have been in service on the Tatsu Sea for nearly fifty years. Characterized by its extreme speed and agile steering, it is the most suitable vessel for sea exploration, shipwring, and guerrilla, and of course, it is also the most suitable for pirate ships.

Of course, since it is the car of two pirates who are also well-known in the world's nautical center of Tatsukai, the Jackdaw and the Sagittarius have actually undergone the magic transformation of this group of lawless pirates.

For example, the "Baron" Captain Roland Dixiu Jackdaw is equipped with a magic weapon - not as high-end as the magic crystal cannon, of course, but a cold gas meter, once activated, it can create a large area of frost and cold like the arrival of winter. Similarly, if you attack it with all of its mana energy cluster, you will be able to release a Frost Mana Bullet. This thing must have been smuggled many years ago. In fact, this kind of power is acceptable, but the type is too single, and it has now been discontinued in the Federation itself.

In addition, the Trektor Uruki has a flock of sea salamanders aboard the Urukhi. This is a phantom beast species that inhabits the bottom of the continental shelf, and it is not too strong in itself, and its intelligence is not high, but the advantage is that this marine amphibian can secrete a viscous substance, which will quickly solidify when it gets on wood. The wood that encapsulates these solid secretions becomes solid and resistant to soaking and corrosion by seawater, and is more resistant to extreme heat and cold changes.

Not only the "Baron" and the "Ring Breaking Monk" themselves are masters of the golden position, but with the modified car under their command, it is enough to run rampant on the sea for a while. However, such a famous pirate with such a famous ship can only honestly drive in front of the Qiyao Aurora, not even daring to deviate half a minute, and has completely reduced to a pony boy who opens the way and explores the way, beats gongs and drums to clean the streets.

Of course, given what happened a day earlier, it's not surprising that these two famous pirate captains made such a judgment. You know, these two famous pirate ships were blown up on the spot within three minutes, and the reason why they can barely sail normally on the sea now is because Lu Xi was merciful and used change magic to help them simply repair it.

"Don't try to run away! If I see the slightest sign of you stray from the course, I will not hesitate to open fire. Lu Xi said this with a smile to the two captains.

The two famous pirates said that the smile of the ruthless magician "Miss" was indeed very charming, and that their hearts of well-informed "sea boys" raced for several seconds, but they also did not doubt that if they had made a mistake, they would have sent themselves and their friends to the sea to feed the fish - this can be seen from the fact that half of the friends died.

Of course, considering the communication problem, Tempest divided the Accessory Wind Knights under his command into two groups, a group of the Great Sword Imperial Sister Signo and a group of dogs, a group of Warhammer Lorivita and a group of Priest Shamar, each with five sailors stationed on the other party's ship. We all know that the Wind and Cloud Knight is an alchemy creature, and to put it bluntly, it is also an attachment to the Book of the Night Sky, as long as the Book of the Night Sky is not destroyed, their souls are also immortal, and they can also communicate with the owner of the Book of the Night Sky 24 hours a day.

There were no more incidents along the way, and the closer the fleet got to its destination, the calmer the sea became. By the time Nicole could already see the outline of a corner of Cadein Island on the horizon from the lookout, the blue sea was calm as if there were no waves or waves, and there was no ripple in sight, as if it were somewhere inland, in a clear lake surrounded by deep mountains.

Calm is certainly a good thing for seafarers. However, for the real old sea catchers, this is really unscientific.

"Theoretically, Kadein Island should be located on the southwest side of the Tatsuna, closer to the continent of Sosnes, the great power of the Kingdom of Eleva, I have heard of it, and the weather is unlikely to be so polite." Rosalie? Miss Bourred tapped her finger on a corner of the map: "The old sailor of Chenhai, if he hears that he is going to the kingdom of Elleva, he will shake his head like a rattle, and at most he will only dare to disembark at Lear, and then make a detour by land. ”

Eleva, which means "thunder" in the lingua franca of Sosnes, can imagine what a strange country it would be, and how unfriendly the weather would be. However, the closer you get to that strange place, the calmer it becomes, which is enough to make the group of battle-hardened friends on the ship vigilant enough.

"And, since just now, the elements have been particularly chaotic...... "Breeze laughed, "You and Miss Nicole, you must have already felt it, right?" ”

"Yes, what malice from the world! There is simply no way for a normal caster to cast a spell in this environment. "It's so beautiful and windy, and the weather is so comfortable that it's almost drowsy, but who would have thought that in the eyes of the transcendental, this is actually a world full of turbulence, rage, and black holes, so oppressive that people can almost breathe.

"However, this level of elemental turbulence won't have much effect on you and me, and it won't affect anyone else......" Tempest muttered for a moment, "Miss Nicole and Miss Rosalie's spell casting efficiency will definitely decrease, but it should be overcome." The rest of the buddies should have no problem either. However, Yavaru taught them ......"

The meaning of the wind was clear: Professor Yavaru and his students were the only mortals aboard the Aurora, and if they continued to move into the deep sea, the more pressure they would be under, the burden of chaotic elements on their bodies, and the fatigue of high mental concentration for a long time. What's more, they're more likely to be the only weakness in the team. It brings certain hidden dangers to the team.

"After all, it's a joint expedition, so I can't really drive away the representatives sent by the other party, right? Our products were able to get orders from the city-state of Sosnes so quickly, thanks to that Mr. Sky Swallower! Although being a capitalist is shameless, if you don't talk about discipline at all, or if there is no lower limit, you will definitely be unable to move an inch in the future. Lu Xi sighed, and then said: "Besides, Hurricane hadn't explored danger with Professor Yavaru before, so I don't know, although they are ordinary people, they are actually quite reliable at critical moments!" ”

"Oh? You mean that adventure in the ancient capital of the Titans, Goodeteas? Hurricane showed a playful smile, although he was laughing, his tone was still warm as water, but it inexplicably conveyed a rather strong sense of oppression: "Lu Xi misses your Highness Caterina, right?" ”

“…… According to your algorithm, don't I miss Artoria every time I cast a spell with the World Tree Scepter? You don't have any technical content at all, bad review! ”

"Uh-huh, jealousy is a girl's prerogative! Especially a girl like me! It's okay to be able to allow you to spend your heart, isn't it okay to even have a little emotion once in a while? ”

…… Remember, you jerking people who are watching the world! In the future, even if you have the conditions and ability to open the Crystal Palace, you must be cautious. When you do this step, you risk not being able to hold your head up in front of all the girls because you have lost your bargaining position in any situation.

As Lu Xi said, this treasure hunt is actually the so-called joint operation. The major shareholders of the capital are Lu Xi's Future Chamber of Commerce, and the "Sky Swallowing Whale" Gray's Narwhal Chamber of Commerce, and the only minority shareholder is our legal Lori witch, Rosalie? Miss Bourred.

The members on the side of the Future Chamber of Commerce are Lu Xi and his wings, Lu Xi's main palace and her accessories, Lu Xi's subordinate villager A and villager B, Lu Xi's second disciple of Zhengtai plus his armed maid team, plus a fat snow leopard that can usually be used as a cute person, can be a universal guide and encyclopedia at critical moments, and can be used as emergency rations in an emergency. On one side of the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce, there is Professor Yavaru of the herbivore department, plus two of his two female disciples, Sias and Gina - of course, as the eldest lady of the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce, Sias is also the representative of the funder, so she is naturally indispensable. In addition to this, their team also has twenty excellent seafarers, all of whom were dug by the Great God Trench Swallowing Sky Whale from the Neosfia Navy, and are also the elite of the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce's armed merchant fleet, led by a former naval colonel named Horatir; and a team of ten adventurers who have worked on several ruins development and exploration, led by a middle-aged veteran treasure hunter named Jones.

As an aside, Mr. Jones is not only a veteran explorer and treasure hunter, but also a well-known freelance archaeologist in the industry, who has published a number of valuable reports and papers in various academic journals. Although he is not fully affiliated with a university or research institute, he often comes and goes to various universities to give lectures in his spare time. All in all, a veteran adventurer must be a rogue, but this Mr. Jones is indeed a literate and knowledgeable rogue.

Aside from the ineffective Professor Avaru and his students (if you exclude the hidden premise that Miss Sithia is actually a faceless), the team sent by the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce is indeed quite elite. The average strength of the sailors is between the bronze high and the silver early stage, and they are definitely the elite of the elite in the army, and the adventurers are one step better, and their strength is on the level of the silver high. As for the two leaders, Colonel Holatier and Mr. Jones both have gold-level strength.

In other stories, this is a template team of protagonists, but in Lu Xi's opinion, at most, it is a group of dragons with a bit of strength, if they stay as outcasts or something, they can last for a while longer than pure cannon fodder.

Of course, in terms of numbers, it seems that this side of the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce is the main force, but in reality it is the opposite. You must know that Lu Xi's side not only got out of the ship, but also out of most of the treasure map fragments, and if there is no more manpower and material resources on the other side, it will inevitably become a vassal.

Even so, before leaving, Lu Xi still sat in the position of captain of the treasure hunting team, and the other party did not raise any objections.

As for how to distribute the treasure after it was discovered, before leaving, everyone also had a long discussion, almost specific to each piece of gold coin, which can be described as quite realism and capitalism. However, in a sense, this is also a good thing, it is better for everyone to be villains beforehand than to be villains during cooperation.

"But, Professor, your current body ...... Can you still afford it? Lu Xi looked at Professor Yavaru, who had been at the bow of the ship all along, staring intently at the horizon, and couldn't help but say worriedly: "Don't look at the fact that the waves are really calm now, but in fact, the pressure caused by the elemental disorder should act silently on everyone's body." After a long time, you will definitely feel uncomfortable. ”

"This ...... I said why I couldn't breathe all the time. The professor woke up like a dream, and showed a helpless wry smile: "It's really negligent in exercising!" Hey, mortals like us are very useless when we get old, if only I could have a healthy and strong body like you! ”

"It is enough that you have a great soul and a full belly. Some physical work can be left to those of us who are physically strong. Lu Xi smiled: "...... However, your very existence is a treasure trove of archaeology in the world, and I cannot afford to lose you. Otherwise, let's go to the cabin and rest for now. How about waiting until you actually find a place to come out? Don't worry, if there are any important archaeological discoveries, such as treasures, antiques, etc., you will have to come and identify them on the spot. ”

"It doesn't matter what the treasure is, it doesn't matter what the rest is, the most important thing is to be able to make a conclusion about the unsolved mysteries of this great pirate age and the golden age, which will surely be the greatest archaeological discovery of this century!" Professor Yavaru looked at the outline of Kadein Island at sea level, his face flashed an unhealthy flush, but his eyes were full of positive energy: "Lu Xi Xiaoyou, do you know? To be able to solve such a historical mystery will be ...... to the entire archaeological community No, all of our cultural heritage, how profound has it been? As archaeologists, it is necessary for us to unearth the exploits and deeds of our ancestors and put them in front of everyone! They are qualified to know about our ancestors! ”

Well, compared to capitalists like Lu Xi and Sky Swallowing Whale Gray, the harmless herbivore Professor Yavaru is bright enough in terms of soul to make our protagonist feel ashamed.

“…… Well, then, do what you can. In addition, this time, as in Gudeteas, there is still a possibility of high-intensity fighting. When that happens, please stay in the cabin with your students as much as possible, okay? On the battlefield, good fortune doesn't come all the time. ”

"Well, I'm a coward who isn't good at fighting, and I can't even argue with people, let alone fight." The professor nodded hurriedly, his smile becoming more and more helpless, and with a hint of embarrassed shame: "If I can, of course I hope to be as far away from the battlefield as possible!" ”

You're underestimating yourself. As soon as Lu Xi wanted to say this, he saw two pirate ships in the distance, and some pirates jumped onto the lookout and began to wave brightly colored flags.

"Flags?"

"We are close to the 'ship hunting grounds' on the outskirts of Kadein Island, and we need to be ready for battle," said Signor. Swift Wind shrugged, there was no nervous expression on his face, but he had already taken out the Heavenly Sword Cross.

"Lu Lu! Something under the boat is approaching! It was at this time that the elven girl on the lookout gave a loud warning. Although she stood on the highest position on the ship, she was also the first person to discover a foreign object on the bottom of the sea.

All right? This unfolding is not surprising at all. Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders, then waved his hand at Professor Yavaru, "Like we just said, please go back to the cabin immediately!" (To be continued.) )
