Chapter 102: The Magic Ship (Part II)

"That's it, and it's the farthest island. Without the sea, where did the Alchemy City get so much wealth. Sumano sighed, he was just an apprentice, and those things were too far away from him. Usually I can only deceive myself and say to myself, I am also a person from Alchemy City, so the glory of Alchemy City seems to have something to do with him.

Salin's heart moved, Hawkina knew almost everything about Alchemy City, but she didn't know the news of the teacher, so the only possibility was that the teacher was from the three islands.

For the people of Alchemy City, the three islands are also very mysterious, except for the regular release of some quests to provide a large amount of materials for Alchemy City, there is no news to be found.

"Such a mission can't be risk-free, right?"

"Yes, but the mage in charge of Alchemy City will not leave you, and if the mission fails, you will lose money. ”

"Well, you help me keep an eye on it, the team is not too big. "Salin generally understands the difficulty of this kind of task, and missions with more than 100 people are indeed risky, and with less than 100 people, there are basically no problems.

"Then I'll help you find some news, about the Devil's Horn. Sumano was slightly relieved to see that Salin had decided not to mention the money. Many magicians have money, which can be calculated clearly, he did nothing, and received a large amount of gold coins first, which made it difficult for him to feel at ease, and he did not even dare to enter Salin's room.

"Okay, help me find out in three days. "Saleen is well aware that there are people like Sumano in every city. They struggle at the bottom of society, and no one cares. For example, his teenage companion Dick, who degenerated into a thief, was only forced into the profession at first. Such people often have some information that others do not have, and he does not despise Sumano.

The mage of Alchemy City is high, and he will not care about such an old magic apprentice, and it is safer to inquire carefully from him for information, as long as Su Manno does not publicize himself.

Rex was noncommittal about Saleen's approach. When she went to Alchemy City, in addition to looking for Salin's teacher, the main thing was to find out how many families there were in the entire Alchemy City.

After autumn, the Tangulas Empire will launch an offensive in Garolan, and the situation on the continent will change again. Only then did I know Yunliu's true attitude, as well as Skocchenya. If the three major empires launched a war against Qin Yin at the same time, Alchemy City would be the key. The magicians sent by Alchemy City have not heard from them until now, and they don't know what they are going to do in the Tangulas Empire.

Qin Yin handed over the sea frontier to Alchemy City to defend is also a helpless thing, the empire started with magic, and the royal family itself has produced a large number of mages, and knows the temper of mages. If he forcibly recruited, or simply only cultivated royal mages, then Qin Yin would be just another cloud stream, and he would not have the capital he has now.

Now, at least except for Alchemy City, every slightly larger city has a magic tower, and anyone who wants to invade Qin Yin will first have to face the sixth-level mages and even magicians in these magic towers.

For thousands of years, the policies of the royal family of Grükos had worked, and Alchemy City had been tied to Qin Yin's fate. It would be impossible for any dynasty to give them such a great freedom.

Two days later, Sumano brought Salin with a pile of documents, but he still did not enter Salin's room. The Devil's Horn quest also found one, a sixty-man mage quest to hunt finless whales.

The magicians who come to Alchemy City will not bring too many swordsmen by themselves, because the status of swordsmen in Alchemy City is very low. For such a task, the mage will hire someone who is more comfortable in the swordsman camp. Sixty mages are on the mission, and there are about one hundred and twenty swordsmen accompanying them.

The requirements for mages in the mage quest are also offline, and a third-level mage like Daniel is the minimum requirement. This kind of mission is limited to three months, and after three months, even if the mission is not completed, the ship of Alchemy City will return to the alchemy port for replenishment.

Three mages, two warriors, and Saleen can also hire four swordsmen as a supplement.

Hiring a swordsman in Alchemy City is much more expensive than a mercenary, and each person will have to pay close to five hundred gold coins for this mission. If this money is to be paid, the swordsman battalion in Alchemy City is absolutely safe, and the hired swordsmen are more reliable than the mercenaries. Hunting magical beasts, the role of swordsmen is not small, not to mention that at sea, danger is everywhere, with swordsmen by their side, magicians will sleep more peacefully.

I went to the first floor of the Alchemy Tower to take over the task, and then went to the swordsman camp to hire four mercenaries, and only waited for half a month to set off. Salin and the others must first be familiar with the task process, as well as the mission rules of Alchemy City.

The finless whale is a sixth-level magical beast with a huge size, and it is not easy to hunt. However, finless whales are full of valuable treasures, and whale oil alone can be sold for a huge amount of money. The size of the magic core of this kind of demonic beast is not small, and after cutting, it is comparable to hundreds of terrestrial demonic beasts.

Whale skin is also a good material for making magic armor, and if you go to sea for three months, as long as you can hunt three whales, these sixty mages will be considered earned. In addition to the task rewards, the other magical beasts hunted by the mage in three months can be divided equally by themselves, and Alchemy City only needs to collect commissions.

In the final analysis, if nothing else, such a hunt would bring no less than 30,000 gold coins to each of the sixty mages. That's the equivalent of working in a large mercenary group for more than a year.

Alchemy City doesn't lose money either, they just send out the ship, the money, and a few mages who are responsible for security. Then just sit back and wait for the harvest. There is also time saved, the mage in Alchemy City saves three months of time, and the cultivation is naturally much faster than the mage who has done the task.

This is the same as doing business, a rich businessman contributes capital, and no matter how much the people below make, it is not as good as the profit that the big businessman gets in the end.

The foreign mages worked hard in the Alchemy City, but most of the benefits they obtained in the end were divided by the Alchemy City. But what can be done about this, without Alchemy City, these mages can't even go to sea. The abundant resources of the sea are all controlled by the Alchemy City.

Saleen and Rex had seen the world, and Daniel was the most excited. If it weren't for meeting Rex and Salin, he wouldn't have been able to live in Alchemy City as a bankrupt mage. Not to mention taking on such a task that requires collateral.

Three mages, each with a mortgage of 50,000 gold coins. If the mission fails, the 50,000 gold coins will be in vain. It's not these gold coins that the mages value, but in this mission, you can also get a sixth-level magic core. Daniel wants to support himself, and now it is Rex who supplies him with a third-level magic core every day, so that he can guarantee three cultivation times.

Relying on natural recovery of the magic string, once a day of cultivation, I don't know when I will be able to advance to the fourth level. If he could hunt more finless whales, he wouldn't have to reach out to Rex anytime soon.

Salin made a simple calculation, this time he went to sea, only the gold coins that were mortgaged, and even the taxes of some big cities could not compare.

Sixty mages and one hundred and twenty swordsmen gathered in the alchemy port, and the person in charge of this mission was a seventh-level magician, but he couldn't do it, and he was only responsible for everyone's safety on the ship. The task was carried out by two sixth-level mages, and these two sixth-level mages were used to doing this kind of thing, and only ordered sixty mages to divide into groups of five and get on the boat.

There were hundreds of ships moored in the huge alchemy port, several of which were more than two hundred meters long. Almost all hull shells are wrapped in metal, which shines in the sun.

The Saleen mages were placed in a small boat, which was also more than sixty meters long. The two magicians who were separated from Salin and the others didn't seem to be very old, one was in his forties, and the other was in his early thirties.

These are two fourth-level mages, and generally speaking, being a fourth-level mage at this age is quite remarkable.

The ship was bound for the Devil's Corner, and there were no cabins, but on the second floor was a fully opened hall, dozens of tables fixed to the deck, and swordsmen and mages sat down in groups. The sailors of Alchemy City had already inspected the ship, directly untied the cables, and sailed out of port under the command of the captain.

Saleen's hometown is by the sea, and he is used to seeing the seascape, but he has never been on such a large boat. The fishing boats in Ceylon City are very small, and they can only fish inshore, and they dare not leave the port if the weather is slightly worse. The only large ship belonged to Viscount Gug and was also used for smuggling.

Seeing that Salin and Rex were both wearing gray magic robes, the two fourth-level mages naturally did not despise it, and took the initiative to introduce themselves. These two fourth-level mages are Qin Yinren, who have been cultivating together since they were children and have a common teacher.

After advancing to level 4, their teacher suggested that the two of them come out for a walk and experience the world. The two of them have a rich family background, so they directly chose Alchemy City.

It won't be boring for mages to chat together, especially these two fourth-level mages have good tempers, and they are people with inheritance and rich knowledge. Soon, the five mages were chatting together. The ship is also getting farther and farther from the shore, the sea and the sky are the same, and the oncoming majestic wind blows into the cabin, with a slight fishy smell.

Heading against the wind, the captain did not give the order to start the alchemy machinery, the speed of the ship gradually increased, the land disappeared, and flocks of seabirds followed the ship, and from time to time there was a crisp and long chirping.

"Andrew, Gogan, this is Venerable Daniel, he's a rare necromancer. Salin saw that Daniel, the two fourth-level mage teams, was a little cold, and knew that it was caused by the level factor. The boundary between level four and level six is not so obvious, but the boundary between level three and level four is an obstacle that some mages cannot cross in their lifetime.

"Oh, yes! We're rude......"

Hearing that Daniel was a necromancer, the two fourth-level mages became enthusiastic, and Daniel was finally able to speak.

"Salin, we'll be at the Devil's Horn in a day's time, and you'll be able to see one of the strangest ships in the world. Andrew said enthusiastically.

"How peculiar is it?" Salin asked, looking at Neris and Sika sitting in front of them with the swordsmen. Nellis is fine, Shika is bored, the swordsmen around her are talking to her, and I don't know why no one bothers Nellis. Nellis is no worse than her, but among the people who traveled with Salin, she talked to Xika the most. The energetic swordsmen didn't seem to be interested in Neris.

"That boat is the dream of all magicians. We call it the Magic Ship,"
