Chapter 1110: The Price of Saving People
The blue waves ripple, the blue sea water is blown by the wind, setting off white waves, looking into the distance, the sea and the sky, can not distinguish which is the sea, which is the blue sky.
Even if there is no air flow on the sea at this moment, the sails of the ship engraved with the wind magic still make a hula sound, as if pushed by a strong wind, making the passenger ship sail quickly.
In the Asley world, although magic has not been popularized and is still mastered by only a few people, because of the close fit between practitioners and the world, the profession of magician, which requires burning money to cultivate, naturally hooks up with the richest business world.
Although the seal carving technique is a profound skill, and it must be mastered with considerable attainments in alchemy, but if the goal is only to generate air currents, the first-level magic can be done, even if the passenger ship is very large, one magic spell is not enough to produce enough thrust, and it is a big deal to carve a few more seals.
The difficulty of advancing to the magic spell is increasing geometrically, so it is more difficult to engrave multiple first-level magic spells than to engrave a single second-level magic spell, and to drive the first-level magic spell, even a black iron level magic apprentice can do it with sufficient magic support.
Of course, considering the cost-effectiveness of the magic storage equipment, merchants generally choose to invite low-level magicians of the black iron level to accompany them to provide power for the magic spells.
As the passenger ship cuts the sea, the stern leaves a circle of ripples, the sea water is sparkling, and the sun shines on it, like a grain of broken gold, which is particularly moving, looking at it from afar, the blue sea is like a wide and boundless blue silk, which has been spread to the edge of the sky, and the seagulls on the sea surface fly and fall, as if embroidering the blue silk with beautiful patterns.
However, in the face of such a beautiful view, not everyone is in the mood to appreciate it.
"Vomitβ"
Emma lay on the railing of the deck, pouring a lot of vomit into the sea, her face pale as if she had just been seriously ill, and her body was weak, as if she could collapse at any moment.
"I never thought that taking a boat was such a painful thing, it was a painful journey to hell, I would never vomit again in my life-"
The nausea that welled up in her stomach made Emma unable to speak.
Luo Feng on the side said: "Meditation and internal strength can weaken the impact of seasickness, I have already reminded you of this, if you are uncomfortable, stay in the room honestly and do not come out." β
After spitting out all the gastric juice, Emma said weakly: "It's too wasteful to finally take a big boat and stay in the room all the time." I just want to come out and take a look, and I'll go back after a while, who would have thought that just this moment, my body would not be able to hold on, and I was also in the bronze rank, but I didn't expect it to be so vulnerable to vomiting - in this state, how can I meditate?"
Renak, who was jumping next to him and showed no signs of seasickness, said: "Don't talk about the bronze level, even if it is the gold level, you still have to get seasick when you should get seasick." β
The object of his ridicule was naturally not himself, but the blue-faced Marika next to her, who was also in a state of seasickness.
This is not surprising, Malika's hometown of Jaha is a desert, let alone the sea, even the larger lakes that she has not crossed by boat.
In a tone that would never give in, she said stiffly: "This is a double training of body and will, and you must not admit defeat here, hmm!"
Seeing that her throat was bulging, she was about to follow in Emma's footsteps, but she swallowed it back with strong control.
Renak shook his head helplessly: "It's more comfortable for you to vomit directly, watching your movements, even I want to vomit, you must know that vomiting is contagious." β
"As long as there is a sword, I can continue to fight...... Father, I will definitely surpass your ......," Marika said in a trance.
"Hey, I'm hallucinating, is it really okay, maybe it's more comfortable to just pass out. β
Luo Feng casually performed a levitation technique and blessed Marika, only to see a huge bubble wrap her, causing her to levitate in the air and get rid of the hull, but the inertia only lasted for a while, and then because of the advance of the passenger ship, Marika's bubble hit the mast and was pressed forward by the mast.
"IβI don't need to, it's a try, I'm going to overcome it......" Malika said stubbornly.
Luo Feng said: "Even the tempering is not achieved overnight, according to the speed of this ship, it will take at least three days to reach the opposite shore, as long as you can overcome seasickness in these three days, you will be considered successful, there is no need to rush for a while, you can wait for the state to recover before you come to challenge." β
Marika was choked by the vomiting sensation of seasickness, so she did not refuse, obediently accepted the offer, and sat down in the floating bubble to rest with her eyes closed.
"IβIβIβI'm going to float too!" Emma hurriedly raised her hand.
But Luo Feng didn't have the slightest idea of taking care of it: "Give me the use of internal strength to overcome." β
"Eccentric, is your blood cold? I'm going to vomit all the dinner I had last night - no, I want to vomit again. β
Forced to be helpless, Emma had to reluctantly calm down and try to concentrate herself and run her internal strength.
After several attempts, it finally worked.
As Luo Feng said, internal strength has a versatile effect, which can play a strengthening role in any aspect, and is also effective for the symptoms of seasickness.
After watching from the sidelines, Renak sighed: "It's really a strange way of cultivation, it looks like a mage's meditation, but it is fundamentally different, there is no fluctuation of any magic power, it is not to absorb external energy, but to stimulate the potential of the body, this is obviously the path of the war profession, but it uses the practice method of the law profession, but it is a bit like the ascetic monks of the Eastern Continent." β
Luo Feng glanced at Reinak, handed over a memory crystal, and said, "Although the orthodox internal strength cultivation method can't be given to you, you can try this." β
"Oh, I just said it casually, but I didn't have any covetousness...... Legendary Rank Dou Qi Secret Method!"
Renak wanted to postpone it, but after a glance, he couldn't take his eyes off it.
He was born in Yeluzi, he has no family heritage, except for the god of thieves, he has no other beliefs, and he can cultivate to the golden level, all by adventure, but the golden level is already the end of him.
Having a Legendary-level cultivation secret method does not mean that you can break through to the Legendary level, but if you don't have a Legendary-level cultivation secret method, then you will definitely not be able to break through to the Legendary level.
Renak is facing a similar problem now, obviously there is still a road above, he has no lack of motivation to move forward, but he can't find a way to move forward, if there is no higher level of cultivation secret method, he is destined to stay at the golden level in this life.
However, what he had always dreamed of was now in front of his eyes.
Reynak wanted to maintain his dignity as a thief, but he opened his mouth and couldn't say no, even though he knew very well that since Luo Feng was willing to show him something, he wouldn't take it back easily.
But what if it is taken back?
Renak couldn't afford to gamble, he really couldn't afford to miss this opportunity in front of him, if he missed it, he would live in regret for the rest of his life.
"Stuff...... I can't ask you for nothing, and use my mercenary money to offset it. Of course, one year is not enough, so use three...... No, five years as a deal, I will work for you for five years for free, to offset the value of this cultivation secret method. β
Luo Feng did not refuse: "Yes." β
Reynak pressed the ecstasy in his heart, and couldn't wait to look at the secret method of fighting qi recorded in the crystal.
"The blazing sun fighting spirit is suitable for the cultivation of those with light, fire, and wind attributes, taking the sacredness of the sun, the courage of the fire, and the swiftness of the storm...... How does it look a bit like the fighting spirit of a paladin. β
Reinak pondered for a while, but didn't care, because martial arts are divided into professions, and there is no fighting spirit, this is like the martial arts system of Yuzhou, martial arts moves are divided into fists, palms, fingers, legs, swords, guns, knives, etc., different forms have different skills, but internal strength does not need to be subdivided, it can be used in fists and legs, and can also be used in swords, guns and knives.
However, his guess was not wrong, the prototype of this Dou Qi was the Dawn Dou Qi, which was a secret cultivation method prepared by the Goddess of Dawn for the Templars.
On the basis of Dawn's Fighting Qi, Luo Feng added the content of "Ten Thousand Slaughter Evil Records" to make it more aggressive and more suitable for instantaneous outbursts, while the original Dawning Fighting Qi focused on recovery and defense capabilities.
The Blazing Sun Fighting Qi is actually more suitable for assassins than thieves to cultivate, but Renak, who suffers from having no way ahead, is not so squeamish, and some cultivation is good, how can he pick and choose.
"Hey, there are also matching sword-based martial arts, and now you can really become a paladin...... It's not bad, on the surface, he is a paladin who abides by the spirit of chivalry and enforces the rules of order, but in the mainland, he is a chivalrous thief who robs the rich and helps the poor, this kind of setting of walking between light and darkness is simply handsome!"
Instead of thinking pretentiously about how to change the knight's martial arts into a thief's martial arts, Renak happily accepted all the orders and changed them randomly.
"Hmm, then what kind of name should I take? Blazing Sun Fighting Qi, Blazing Sun Fighting Qi...... Yes, I am called the Knight of the Sun when I walk in the light!"
At this moment, there was a sudden violent commotion in the nearby cabin, accompanied by the screams of women, the screams of men, the breaking of dishes, and then the sound of hurried and chaotic footsteps, apparently someone in pursuit.
In a short time, a thin young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old escaped from the cabin in a panic, but before he could escape a few steps, a large hand flashing with fighting spirit reached out from behind and grabbed him firmly.
"Let go of me, you brute!"
The boy struggled desperately, trying to break free from the restraints, but what caught him was a strong man with a height of nearly two meters, with knotted muscles all over his body, with the strength of the lower position of the silver rank, no matter how he wrestled, one hand was like an iron tong, firmly grasping and not letting go, and after straightening his arm, the young man who was not tall was directly suspended from the ground, his legs kept swinging like riding a bicycle, and his neck was strangled out of breath.
"Well done, Peter, this poor boy had the audacity to sneak on the boat and spy on the female passenger taking a bath, and throw him off the ship!"
A middle-aged man full of wealth and a big belly came out of the cabin and ordered the strong man with a gloomy face.
"Yes, boss!"
The strong man had obviously done a lot of similar things as a thug, and he didn't hesitate at all, and walked towards the railing with the person.
The boy was shocked, struggled even more fiercely, and even bit the other party's wrist with his teeth, but the strong man's hand was as hard as steel, not only did he not bite it, but he knocked his teeth painfully.
"Help, who's going to save me, I don't want to die yet, help me-"
Renak glanced at this kid, shook his head and said, "It's a pity, I haven't started cultivating the Blazing Sun Fighting Qi yet, and I haven't become a Sun Knight yet, this kind of thing is not within the scope of business, otherwise I will make a move." β
Luo Feng and Malika are used to seeing life and death, so they are indifferent to it, as if they have not heard of it, the latter really doesn't care about the life and death of the young man, but the former knows that even if he doesn't speak, some people will not be able to help it.
"Wait a minute!"
Sure enough, Emma couldn't see a boy of her age after all, so she lost her life like this, so she stopped it by shouting: "If it's just the money for the boat, I can help him pay for it." β
The obese middle-aged man glanced at Emma, and his eyes immediately moved to Luo Feng, who has been a businessman for decades, his vision has already been practiced extremely viciously, and he instantly saw the backbone of the five people present, Emma is a little maid in his opinion, and the young man who doesn't speak is the master, but since the young man didn't scold the maid for making claims, he obviously doesn't mind saving people.
"Little girl, you don't know, this kid is a bad belly, a natural ruffian hooligan, don't be deceived by his appearance, if he just sneaks on the boat, it's okay, after all, it's impossible to send him back, I don't care about carrying one more person, but he actually went to peep at the female passenger taking a bath, and took advantage of the other party's sleeping hands up and down, it's just a little pervert! You know, the people who can get on this ship are people with heads and faces, either rich or expensive, as the person in charge of this ship, I have to apologize to the guests, otherwise I will have a bad reputation, and who will want to take this ship in the future. β
The middle-aged man has a lot of experience, pretending to be forced by others and looking pitiful, obviously he is the strong party, but he pretends to be a weaker, which suddenly makes Emma lack confidence.
"But, you don't have to kill anyone. β
"Just apologizing can't make up for other people's reputations, the guests of this ship all want to save face, not those prodigal women, and this kid can't get anything to apologize, so he can't make people angry. β
In short, it's money.
If the middle-aged man asks Emma for money as soon as he comes up, he will inevitably give people the impression that he is blackmailing money, but he insists on associating money with a woman's name, and immediately becomes the party that takes advantage of reason, which is naturally just.
Although Emma is young and old, how to deal with experienced businessmen, she has to ask Luo Feng for help: "Young master, can you ......?"
The title of the young master is a previously agreed way to disguise his identity.
"I can save him, but I can't let you develop the consciousness that as long as you open your mouth to ask for help, you will definitely be able to get help, in this world, even saving people needs to pay a price, saving people beyond their ability is no different from facing an enemy who is far more than themselves, so if you really want to save this person, be prepared to double the amount of training in the next few days, this is the price of saving people. Luo Feng replied.
