Chapter 125: The Master (I)
The sailboat has not always been moving in a straight line. In addition to the compass, judging the direction also depends on the captain's rich experience. Pirates walk the sea all year round, and scheming pirates like Jupiter learn from stealing, and this pirate ship is under the control of the pirates, and nothing happens along the way.
Saleen and Sika sat on the watchtower, watching the wind and waves gradually rising, and their hearts were calm. In two days, the pirates took turns to operate the ship, and even ran more than a thousand miles. If it were on the road, there would simply be no such speed of progress.
The pirate ship was forty meters long, which was nothing compared to a warship, but there were few monsters along the way.
The sea was blue and the breeze was blowing, and Saleen was bored on this day, when suddenly there was a metallic whistle at the bow of the ship.
"Hmm, Sika, there's trouble. ”
Sika stood up abruptly and asked, "What should I do?"
"Go down, it's too much of a draw for attention here, I'll let you dive and you'll jump right away, to the back!" said Saleen. Jumping off the watchtower, Sika put on his gloves, grabbed the rope, and slid down. She didn't know magic, she didn't dare to jump like Saleen, and even if she wasn't hurt, the planks wouldn't be able to withstand her blows, her weapons were too heavy.
Daniel soon appeared on deck, and Jupiter came to Saleen's side.
"What do you see?" Salin's cold vision didn't detect the enemy, and Jupiter got an alchemy telescope that was farther away than Salin could see. If it was in fog or bad weather, Sarin's icy vision would not be affected, but the alchemy telescope would not.
"It's Qin Yin's warship, there are three. ”
"Don't dodge, we can't outrun them. Communicate with the flag, just say that we are going to Alchemy City, and see how they react. Unload the crossbow arrows of the heavy crossbows, and the stone cannons are ready. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
Jupiter turned to leave, but Salin stopped him behind him and said, "Jupiter, if you are in danger, come to me." ”
Jupiter's body paused, and he strode to the bow of the ship.
What appeared in front of them was the Qin Yin battleship, there must be a magic compass, and before Salin discovered them, the other party had already discovered Salin's pirate ship. The pirate ship took off the pirate flag though. However, the appearance of the hull has not changed, and serious merchant ships will not blindly pursue the shape of speed and give up the space for loading.
The pirate ship drove towards the three warships, and the pirates in the bilge had gathered in the oar compartment, and once the fight really started, they had to rely on these oars to accelerate.
The Iwaki Alchemy Ship, which had been towing behind the pirate ship, suddenly sank down at this time, and dived to a depth of more than 20 meters, so it did not continue to dive.
"Daniel, if there is a conflict, you have to wait for the opposing ship's warship before you can release Pisius. Salin told Daniel that Daniel's undead creatures were so large that if they were released on a pirate ship, everything on deck would be destroyed before anyone else could attack.
In the vicinity of undead creatures, items that are not blessed with magic will accelerate the aging process. The cables and canvases on the ship, for example, were so ordinary that Pisius could turn to ashes by blowing on them.
The three Qin Yin battleships were already visible to the naked eye, and Salin's cold vision could be seen even more clearly, and the three ships had the symbol of Alchemy City. The black iron armor was draped over the side of the ship, and even if it was hit by a stone cannon, it might not be damaged. The length of each battleship was more than 100 meters, and the bow of the ship was equipped with a magic stone cannon, which was higher than someone waving a flag. Communicate with the people on the pirate ship.
The pirate ship slowed down and began to reel its sails. By the time the two sides were two miles apart, the pirate ship had completely stopped advancing. The Qin Yin battleship in front put down the boat and rowed over.
The speed of the small boat was very fast, about ten meters long, ten sailors were swinging their oars, and at the bow stood a man in leather armor, a tall man, with a black leather armor and a heavy sword on his back. The boat was still about 100 meters away from the pirate ship, and the man in black leather armor jumped up, drew a thin white line on the sea, and pounced on the pirate ship.
This time he was so handy with his sword that even Jupiter could see that this guy wearing magic armor was much higher than his own level. Although it's not flying, it probably has the strength of the Black Iron Sword Master, right?
"Who's the captain!" the Black-Armored Sword Master jumped onto the bow of the ship, drawing his sword and looking around.
Jupiter remembered Salin's words, but he stepped forward, saluted, and said, "General, the captain is behind." ”
"Let him come to me!" The sword master had a loud voice and a dignified appearance, a black and red face, and a cleanly shaved beard on his chin. Seeing Jupiter's hesitation, the heavy sword in the sword master's hand was raised slightly, and his face was unhappy.
"General, the captain is a great magician, and I dare not greet him. Jupiter hastened to explain.
"Oh?" the black-armored sword saint was also stunned when he heard this, he had never heard of a mage being a captain. He expected that the yellow-bearded fellow would not dare to deceive himself. slowed down his tone and said, "This is clearly a pirate ship, you want to lie to me?"
When he said this, he was not angry and arrogant, and Jupiter felt that the other party's sword aura was incomparably powerful emanating from his body, which was a temperament that could only be cultivated after a long time on the battlefield.
"General, we were captured by the mage, how dare we lie to you? He is on the back deck, I can take you there. ”
Captive?The Black-Armored Sword Master looked at the pirates around him, these people were relatively clean, their armor was neat, and they didn't look like people who had been drifting and robbing the sea all year round.
The Great Magician...... Although he is not afraid, but in Alchemy City, the status of a sword saint like himself is not high, and there is no need to offend a magician. Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Then take me to the mage." ”
Salin and Xi were stuck on the back deck, and they had already sensed a powerful aura approaching, and Salin did not hesitate to release the Ice Pattern Armor first, and then blessed with a Water Pattern Shield. A faint mist emanated from the outside of the water pattern shield, and then he added ice pattern armor to Xika, and then he looked forward.
Jupiter led the Black-Armored Swordmaster to the back deck, and when the Swordmaster saw Saleen, he was half convinced. Salin is not very old, though. The temperament on his face is only possessed by orthodox mages. The two sides looked at each other, and the Black-Armored Sword Master stopped, not getting too close.
He saw the magic shield on the young mage's body, and knew that if he continued, he would cause a misunderstanding.
"What do you call it?" Salin asked flatly.
"Morpheus, who is Your Excellency?"
"Saleen Metatrin. Morpheus, you're from Alchemy City?"
"Yes, Mr. Saleen, how did you get here?" Morpheus did not have a domineering attitude towards Saleen, but he had been in charge of patrolling this body of water for seven days. still hasn't found the Yunliu warship mentioned in the intelligence, so naturally he refuses to let go of all clues.
The number of warships photographed by Alchemy City this time is huge, and the search distance is getting farther and farther, and it will be too dangerous to go any further. When he finally ran into a living person, of course he would ask carefully.
"I went to sea with the hunting fleet of Alchemy City, encountered the attack of a mysterious warship, fell into the sea and escaped, encountered this pirate ship, I captured the pirate, and was about to go back to Alchemy City to ask what happened. ”
"Oh, you're a mage living in Alchemy City?"
"Exactly!"
"Then come back to the battleship with me, I have something to ask you. There was an accident with the hunting fleet, and no survivors have been found so far. ”
"I'm over, what about these captives?" said Salin, embarrassed.
"Let them honestly follow behind, and if they don't obey, they will sink this broken ship. Morpheus said nonchalantly.
"This ship belongs to me now!" Salin is afraid that Alchemy City will attack me directly, this ship is not worth too much money, but he has no place to recruit sailors on it.
Morpheus put away his sword, changed his smile, and said to Salin: "It's okay, Alchemy City can afford to pay for it, Mr. Mage, you are not safe in a group of pirates, it is better to return to the battleship with me." ”
Saleen couldn't resist Morpheus, and he and Schika were sure to deal with a Black Iron Swordmaster, but there were three warships behind the other party, which could blow the ship to pieces. There was no point in the conflict Salin didn't want to do, not to mention that there was a secret alchemy ship tethered to the back of the pirate ship. If it is discovered, it is difficult to say whether the other party will suspect the origin of the alchemy ship.
Salin thought for a moment and said to Daniel, "You watch them on this boat, Jupiter, you go with me. ”
Among the pirates on this ship, Jupiter is a talent, knows a lot of seafaring knowledge, and his combat effectiveness is not bad, and he has been a magic apprentice, so Salin doesn't want anything to happen to him.
Call the seat card. The three of them followed Morpheus and got into the small boat that had been released from the Alchemy City battleship.
Three huge ships were separated by a few miles, arranged in a triangle, and Saleen was taken to the one in the middle.
"Mr. Mage, please come with me. "Morpheus boarded the battleship, and suddenly became docile without the domineering of Fang Cai. Salin paused for a moment, and then understood that there was a ** master of Alchemy City on this ship.
The battleship was four stories above deck, and Saleen followed Morpheus up to the highest floor to a spacious cabin. Morpheus turned around and said, "Master Salin, what you want to see is not a person from the Elemental Hand, so if there is anything, you should start from the beginning carefully. We have been at sea for a long time, and we have no connection with Alchemy City. ”
"I see. Salin nodded, pushed the door open, and stepped inside.
There was a fresh smell in the cabin, and Saleen smelled something familiar. This magic spice can be controlled by the mage at any time and mixed with the smell of any environment, it is considered a high-level magic potion, Rex is commonly used, but the spice used by Rex is even rarer than this.
There were three people in the cabin, and Saleen was dizzy to see. The three people were two men and one woman, and the handsome man among them was wearing a black magic robe, and a striking magic mark on the magic robe represented that he was a seventh-level magician.
The other two middle-aged mages, a man and a woman, were also wearing gray magic robes, and the gray magic robes were all covered with two magic marks, which were two fifth-level great magicians. Alchemy City is really rich, and with such a powerful magical power arranged on this battleship, it is no wonder that he dares to come out to find trouble with the Yunliu battleship.
