Chapter 156: Williams (I)
Nearly 100 miles along the coast were covered in ice. Many buildings have been added to the white shore, and the prototype of the pier has been built. However, the large buildings behind the pier also look like a temple, and from a distance, the style of this harbor is very different from that of any other country.
There are also puppets at work on the coast, and the people who command the puppets are low-level mages and even magic apprentices. The quality of magic apprentices on Shrieg Island is very high, and within a few months of being here, two of them are already about to become first-level mages.
This is also the reason for the inheritance, Shrieg Island has selected the qualifications for selecting magic apprentices first, and with the accumulation of magic knowledge on Tryg Island for thousands of years, each of these apprentices is expected to become a great magician.
Aside from the fact that it takes chance to be promoted to a magician, the future of these magic apprentices is relatively bright.
By the time Saleen arrived at the seaside, the puppets had stopped working, and more than a hundred swordsmen had gathered here. In the distance, on the frozen sea, there was a group of ragged people, shivering in the wind and snow.
Salin glanced at him from a distance and asked the mage beside him, "When did these people appear?"
"Just appeared, Lord Salin. ”
"Haven't talked yet?"
"They sent someone ashore, and they were driven back, and you didn't speak, and strangers are not allowed to come up here. They said they had encountered pirates. But this season, pirates don't operate in the northern seas. ”
Salin thought for a moment and said, "Tell Neris to come over and set up a tent and let those people send someone to speak." I'll talk to them. ”
"Lord Salin, these people are very suspicious. ”
"What's suspicious?"
"There are nobles, and they are disguised as commoners. There are also high-ranking swordsmen among them. ”
"There are nobles? That's fine. Salin smiled, patted the mage on the shoulder, and said, "Then call this nobleman and don't allow him to bring his retinue." Let the swordsmen call for them, and you will prepare the scrolls, and if they dare to do so, they will not leave any of them. ”
The magicians of Shreg Island have an advantage that there are more scrolls, and they were photographed by Jason to follow Salin, and the number of scrolls in each hand is no less than that of Salin. It's just that Saleen has intermediate and high-level scrolls, and these people are not of enough level, so they take low-level scrolls.
Writing scrolls is also an effective means of practicing magic, and there are many mages on Shrig Island, and a large number of low- and mid-level scrolls will accumulate with daily practice. There is no shortage of materials on Shrieg Island, and the accumulation of years is very terrifying. Saleen was able to exchange blank scrolls for all magic scrolls in one warehouse, which was not the only one on the island. From this point you can calculate how rich Shrieg Island is.
Under normal circumstances, these low-level mages are also very strong in combat, and Saleen is unlucky, always encountering relatively strong enemies. Of course, without these formidable enemies. It won't stimulate Salin to be so crazy about his cultivation. Things are so wonderful in this world, and the more hardships you encounter, the greater your achievements.
Two high-ranking swordsmen were sent out into the frozen sea, towards the group of shipwrecked people. That group of people was more than five hundred meters from the coast, and even if they had alchemy crossbows, they couldn't threaten the people on the coast. Saleen's cold vision could be seen miles away, and from this position, he could clearly see the movements of the two swordsmen.
The group was exactly one hundred and eighty, most of them with their leather armor shattered, and they shivered incessantly from the cold around the blankets. A few people who seem to be strong have surpassed high-level swordsmen in their skills, and they are already swordsmen.
A powerful sword qi has formed in the sword master's body, which is able to keep out the cold. It's just that in such an environment, the sword qi will continue to be consumed, and if there is no place to heat, these people will survive for three or five days at most, and they will all be frozen to death.
Two swordsmen from Shreig approached and confronted the men. Salin watched from a distance, and saw that the two swordsmen were talking excitedly, and they were very unkind to the swordsmen of Sleeper Island.
The swordsmen of Sleeper Island were not angry. They saluted with their swords and turned to the shore. A swordsman was about to draw his sword behind his back, but was stopped by another swordsman.
Still so arrogant when he was down? Salin remembers that he was very low-key when he was down. However, the swordsmen under the nobles did not have much power, and of course they had to be tough in front of their masters, so as not to be snubbed by their masters. Seeing this scene, Salin already had a plan in his heart.
Now go and help these people, these people will not appreciate it, since they are not interested, let them freeze for another day.
Of course, Salin would not send a swordsman to attack these people, even if they were suspicious, they could not come up and kill them. Saleen is not a murderer. And judging from this person's equipment and demeanor, it is impossible to target this city base. In the entire team, there are only a dozen sword masters, and there should be two more magicians, and the level will not exceed three poles.
With such power, Saleen doesn't use his hands, and he can solve it with the low-level mages of Tryg Island.
Neris had been under the sea, summoned by the Sound Magic Array. She had carved out a place to sleep in the Thunder Dragon's cave without being disturbed by anyone, and it was more convenient for Salin to find her than to go to the turtle alchemy ship.
"The hosts. Neris rubbed her eyes, not knowing what was going on.
"Nellis, do you think those people are dangerous?" Salin asked easily, pointing to the more than a hundred people at sea.
Neris glanced at and replied, "It's weak, I can solve it alone." ”
"How can you tell?"
"These people are not murderous, there are more than a dozen sword masters, and at most one or two of them have killed people. Neris yawned, wondering why Saleen was interested in these people. Just grab it and ask if it's okay?
Saleen was also a little crying and laughing. In the past year or two, the enemies he has encountered have been too strong, and the sudden appearance of such a group of people makes him a little unacceptable.
In fact, this is also normal, in the general adventure team, it would be good to have a low-level mage, there are two mages in this team, and more than a dozen sword masters, under normal circumstances, it is already a good strength.
Salin now has a high vision, so he can't look down on these people. He now had two fourth-level mages by his side, as well as a number of low-level mages and a large number of apprentices. Even if there are no more than two hundred swordsmen left, this is a force to be reckoned with. If any nobleman can have so many magicians, it will soon rise locally.
Even in the Qin Yin Empire, the noble leader of each city could have at most one great magician. The magic tower outside the city, that is not a force that the nobles can control.
There were now simple fortifications on the coast, and alchemical crossbows had been erected in several stone houses, facing the sea. Even if those people were angry, they didn't dare to really approach the shore. Sure enough, it didn't take long for a young man to come out of the crowd, he pushed away the two sword masters, and walked towards the coast alone.
The young man was tall, somewhat thin, and covered in black fur. Without any decoration, it doesn't look luxurious. The really valuable furs are made of monster skins, and the lighter the color, the more valuable they are, and this pure black fur is rare among the nobility, and they are all worn by merchants.
Saleen did not enter the stone house, the environment of the stone house was not conducive to the mage to fight, his crystal finger was only a preliminary mastery, and could not be used for battle, he asked his men to set up a tent, sat in with Nerice, and waited for the young man to arrive.
There was no aristocratic arrogance on the young man's face. He came to the shore and climbed up the suggested ladder set up by the swordsmen of Srig Island to Sareen's tent, outside which two high-ranking swordsmen stopped him.
"Untie your sword. ”
The young nobleman frowned, and the two swordsmen looked at him insistently. The young nobleman smiled, took off his sword, and said softly, "There are so many of you, do you need to be afraid of me?"
"It's not that I'm afraid of you, in front of Lord Salin, you are not qualified to carry a sword. The swordsman's answer was unkind. They are from the island of Shreig, and the rule on the island is that the mage is the greatest. It is impossible for these two high-ranking swordsmen to achieve much status unless they become Sword Masters. In their hearts, Salin was countless times more noble than the young nobleman.
"My lord?" the young nobleman thought for a moment, but did not argue anything. He walked into the tent and saw Saleen and Neris. The little anger in my heart is gone.
Saleen wore a gray magic robe, and he didn't add much to it during the season. He just tied up his long black hair so he could put it on his hood.
Gray magic robes, worn only by great magicians. Ordinary people want to have a good time wearing it, and if they are discovered, they may be executed. Seeing that the other party was about the same age as himself, the young nobleman was already a great magician, and the pride in his heart was all extinguished, and he also understood the words of the swordsman outside.
"Master Mage, forgive me for being rude. The young nobleman bowed his head, apologizing for Fang Cai's words. A great magician, there is really no need to be afraid of him.
Salin had sharp eyes, and seeing that this young nobleman did not have an Adam's apple, he must have been dressed as a woman. He smiled and said, "Sit down." ”
The tent was large, but there were no tables and chairs, but the floor was covered with animal skins. The young nobleman dressed as a man smiled swayingly, quite heroic. She sat down on the floor and said, "Master Mage, why are you so careful, we are just the victims. ”
How could Saleen be tricked by her, he smiled and said, "You're a lady, aren't you?" It is also very rare for a woman to be knighted. Compared to your family, you are also very strong, how did you end up here?"
Salin heard that this woman was Qin Yin's accent, so he didn't have too many taboos, and directly asked about her origin.
The woman's identity was revealed by Salin, and she laughed heartily and said, "Master Mage, you are not Qin Yinren, it is difficult for me to answer your question." Am I being captured?"
Her words had a lot of meanings, and she could hear that Salin's accent was not pure, not Qin Yinren. The swordsman outside also had a strange accent, like someone from a remote place in the south. Such a group of people gathered in the north, if it was Qin Yin's enemy, she would indeed be considered a prisoner. If she was a captive, she would have to wait for the family to pay the ransom, but she didn't have to answer Saleen's words.
"I don't generally want to take prisoners. Salin replied earnestly. His words made the woman's expression change, don't take prisoners? That is, there is no room for life, not even pirates.
