my age of magic

Chapter 926 28. Shark Oil
The sailboat dragged the lifeboat and sailed southward along the ocean current. The hemp rope was stretched straight. Even with the sail fully hoisted, the speed of the big ship could not be increased due to the drag of the lifeboat. You could even hear the sound of the speargun base fixed on the bow. There was a 'creaking' sound, as if the spear gun might collapse at any time, and the huge tentacles protruding from the sea quickly entangled towards the hull.

Captain Brondy saw the huge tentacle ten meters long stretched out, the tip of the tentacle was covered with countless sharp spikes, and just as it touched the side of the ship, Lante and the other seven constructed knights raised their crusader swords and slashed at it. On the sticky and wet tentacles.

The sharp spikes on the huge tentacles were extremely hard, the crusader's long sword slashed on it, and there was a sound of metal and iron clanging, and the powerful knight of the construction could only cut off a few spikes, leaving Superficial wounds.

The sailors on the ship also took out their spears and stabbed at the giant tentacles, but those spears couldn't pierce the slippery and tough skin of the tentacles at all.

Instead, the tentacle was lashed at the sailors on the ship like a long whip. The huge tentacle lashed at the ship, and immediately swept the sailors off the deck into the sea. There was also a huge gap in the deck and the Lant Knight saw the opportunity early and avoided a whip from the tentacles.

Noah, Shirley Newman, I released magic towards the tentacles, ice arrows and fireballs hit the tentacles, the tentacles seemed to be very sensitive to fireballs, and were burned by the fireballs of Noah and Shirley Newman , immediately and quickly retracted into the sea.

Before the sailors on the ship had time to cheer for this short-lived victory, three huge tentacles popped up from under the surface of the sea and entangled towards the ship at the same time. One of the tentacles just blocked the rope between the sailboat and the lifeboat , the big ship sailed slower because of the rope.

Captain Bronty in the bridge shouted to the first mate at the bow: "Cut the rope quickly, or none of us will be able to leave."

Standing at the bow of the ship, the first officer quickly pulled out a machete from his waist, and cut the rope with one blow. The lifeboat fell on the rough sea like a kite with a broken string, and the huge tentacle got entangled in the rope. , and quickly dragged into the sea, the lifeboat and the four sailors on it were pulled into the sea before they even had time to shout.

At this time, the Beran sailing ship was like a wild horse that had run loose. Driven by the north wind and the ocean current, it nimbly got out from the pinch of the two tentacles.

Those three huge tentacles were chasing after the Bellan, they swam close to the surface of the sea, like three sea snakes.

At this time, Noah shouted to Shirley Newman: "Shirley, help me!"

I saw Noah standing on the deck, quickly drawing a magic circle, and condensed a black ball in front of him.

This is the ultimate version of the 'black oil technique'. The diameter of the black oil ball is nearly one meter. Noah barely manipulated the magic to push the black oil ball out of the boat. A giant tentacle squealed and hit the black oil ball. Sticky black oil sticks to the tentacles.

By Noah's side, Shirley Newman threw out the fireball that had been prepared. The fireball hit the black oil on the tentacles and burned violently. The tentacles were instantly engulfed by the fire. The rapid fire made the tentacles retract into the sea and burn The black oil floating on the sea is still not extinguished.

An ice wall rose from the sea surface, blocking the other two tentacles that followed, one of the tentacles smashed the ice wall like a long whip, and the two tentacles galloped, stopping the momentum.

Taking advantage of this gap, the Bellan quickly escaped from this area by the sea wind.

……

Several sailors are repairing the left side of the ship and the broken deck. The ship has spare wood. The sailors only need to saw the wood into the shape of the gap, nail the planks to the keel of the sailboat, and polish the planks smooth. Brush the tung oil repeatedly several times, and the repair work is considered complete.

The corpses of those Naga warriors on the deck were quickly moved into the warehouse at the bottom of the cabin by the sailors. In order to ensure that the corpses of these warriors would not rot in the hot summer, sprinkles were sprinkled on the corpses of each warrior. A layer of salt.

In addition, after learning that I am a water magician, Captain Brondy personally asked me to perform magic to make some ice cubes and put them in the warehouse at the bottom of the cabin. The cabin door was covered with thick cotton It was tightly wrapped to keep out the heat outside, and even then, the ice cubes could only last a few days in the warehouse.

I asked Blondie why he would rather risk his life than let those sailors salvage the bodies of Naga warriors in the sea.

Captain Blondie just smiled strangely and didn't say the reason, which made me feel that the corpse of the Naga Sea Warrior was a bit mysterious.

The Bellan was in the waters of the aborigines of the Naga Sea Tribe, even at night, the ship would never stop.

The sailors on the ship couldn't wait to get out of this sea area in one breath, but in the next few days, although we encountered several scenes of battle between the Faceless Legion and the Naga Sea Clan, the timing was unlucky and there was no chance Pick up corpses on the battlefield.

Seeing that the Naga Sea Clan on the Vashj plane has started a full-scale war with the Dark Faceless Legion, Noah and I have a deeper understanding of the situation on the Vashj plane.

Obviously, the situation in the Vashj plane is worse than that in the Yero plane. Although the Mensa family has occupied hundreds of islands suitable for human habitation in the Vashj plane, they are not the real islands of the Vashj plane. Owner.

The real masters of this sea area are the Naga Sea Clan in the sea. At present, it is precisely the Naga Sea Clan fighters who are resisting the Faceless Legion.

The sailboat passed through these sea areas, and found that the Faceless Legion should be taking the initiative in the war, and it is also the final winner of these few battles.

The most dangerous time, when we were sailing in the ocean current, we were ambushed by the Legion of Faceless Men, but fortunately, these Faceless Men did not set up an ambush circle, but were on the sea where the Bellan was moving, shining brightly. Putting on a fighting posture, our Captain Bronty would not just hit him head-on, and go around from a distance.

Although the Legion of Faceless Men chased us quickly, the sea breeze that day made it possible for us to leave the group of Faceless Men far behind.

The sea area of ​​Vashj Plane is extremely vast. Taking advantage of the north wind, we followed the current in the sea all the way to the south, and walked day and night for more than a week, only to find that the sea water in front of us finally returned to blue. color.

Captain Brondy told me that we have already stepped out of the waters controlled by the Naga Sea Clan.

Aside from the potential threats to us from those sea beasts in the sea, this place can be regarded as a safe zone.

Captain Blondie couldn't wait to let the sailors stand on the watchtower, looking for islands in the nearby sea.

Although there is not much land on the Vashj plane, the islands in the sea are as numerous as the stars in the sky. Of course, the Mensa family occupies many livable islands on the Vashj plane, but there are even more Because there is no fresh water or other living resources on many islands, they are not occupied by people, and they are still uninhabited and uninhabited islands.

Captain Blondie found such an island.

This is a horseshoe-shaped island surrounded by red coral reefs. One side of the island has a two-kilometer-long white sandy beach, and the other side is a cliff with a drop of about 30 meters. There are many green trees growing lushly on the island. It is impossible to see whether there are wild animals living in the vegetation, but there are many birds inhabiting the forest.

This small island, which seems to be less than [-] square kilometers, can be seen in its entirety at a glance almost standing on the deck of the sailing ship.

There are no deep-water channels and good harbors. The Bellan is parked in the waters outside the coral reefs. The only lifeboat on board has been abandoned in the waters of the Naga Sea Tribe. Captain Blondy ordered the sailors to remove several door panels on the ship and throw them into the In the water, the chief mate led thirty sailors sitting on the door panel and swam to the small island.

The sailors who arrived on the small island kept cutting wood on the island and made a bigger raft to return to the Beran.

The corpses of the Naga warriors on the boat were all transported to the raft, carrying a fishy and salty smell, and transported to the small island by the sailors. It was scraped away, leaving only a corpse covered with a layer of light blue scales.

Afterwards, Captain Blondie ordered someone to transport a large iron pot and dozens of earthen pots to the island.

When I, Noah, Shirley Newman and others came to the desert island on a raft, the first mate had already led the sailors to support the big iron pot on the beach by the sea, and filled the bottom of the big iron pot with wood , The freshly felled wood is very damp, and billowing smoke rises when it is burned. This column of smoke abruptly destroys the charming beauty of the island.

I took Katerina and Deborah, Noah took the Rand Knight, Shirley Newman took the Bernard swordsman Miss Cherry, and Jacques and Joan were also with me.

We are eager to know what Captain Blondie is going to do with the corpses of these Naga warriors, but it seems that Yingli has no interest in this, not only has no interest, but also his attitude towards Captain Blondie has become cold, even There was some disgust, so she hid in the cabin and refused to come out.

Ying Li has been studying the preparation method of Rococo flowers recently. After wasting five bottles of 'Devil's Blood', she still has no progress. However, Ying Li is the kind of person who will not give up easily once she is serious. Under her sweet smile, I had to take out another bottle of 'Devil's Blood' and give it to her.

Recently, while sailing on the sea, I helped Senior Dylan sort out the patterns of magic lines on the teleportation magic circle. Senior Dylan didn't expect that I would be so efficient in drawing magic runes. He worked hard for two or three days. The runes, usually I only need to spend half a day to help him record them on the magic parchment.

Only Yingli and Senior Dylan did not disembark. I was worried that Yingli, Helena, and Becky would not be able to deal with the unexpected incident on the Bellan, so the tauren Luka and Kalancuo stayed to protect the three girls.

A group of us walked off the raft and stood on the beach watching the sailors carry the corpse of a Naga warrior ashore. After several sailors put the corpse of a Naga warrior under the guillotine and cut it into several sections, Throw everything into a large boiling iron pot and cook.

Seeing this scene, Shirley Newman and Miss Cherry couldn't bear it first, covered their mouths and ran far away under a big tree to vomit.

Jacques also looked at the scene in front of him with a pale face, suppressed his nausea, and couldn't help taking a few steps back. Joan stood beside Jacques and asked Jacques with a strange face: "I heard that the lamp oil in the noble's house is full of oil. Deep sea shark oil, have you never seen the process of refining shark oil?"

There was a faint smell of fragrant oil in the air, but when he saw the Naga warriors cooking in the big iron pot, Jacques finally couldn't help covering his mouth with his hand. He frowned with pain on his face, and was speechless to Joan. He said, "Who told you that the lamps in noble houses need such disgusting lamp oil?"

"Isn't it true that the lamps in your house use this kind of shark oil that emits a faint fragrance when it burns?" Joan asked with big eyes blinking.

Noah casually said to Joan: "Of course, the lights in the house are all made of moonstone wicks, so there's no need to use these disgusting shark oils."

Lante Knight covered his mouth and nose lightly, took two steps forward, looked into the big iron pot with his head, and frowned slightly.

When he returned, he explained to Noah and Jacques: "It turns out that this is deep-sea shark oil. Even in the imperial capital, this thing can be regarded as a rare item that can be auctioned in the auction house. Many nobles are very interested in this kind of oil that burns and emits oil." Scented shark oil has a special preference, and this kind of shark oil is listed at the top of the Mensa family's banned list, and it is a material that is not allowed to be traded within the territory of the Mensa family."

At this time, Captain Blondie came down from the raft behind triumphantly, holding an earthen pot in each hand, and said to us: "This kind of shark oil is sold in Galapagos City. Shark oil can be exchanged for a jar full of silver. There are many adventure groups from the Grimm Empire, all of which are for the purpose of poaching the Naga Sea Clan in the waters of the Vashki plane, refining this An expensive shark oil."

Then, Captain Brondy said happily again: "Haha, I never thought about it before. I was able to retrieve so many corpses of Naga warriors in that sea area, which made me a windfall."

"In the past few years, the relationship between the Naga Sea Clan and the family in the Vashki plane has become worse and worse. Is it because of this reason?" Noah turned to the Lante Knight and asked.

Lant Knight nodded and said, "There should be some reason!"

At this time, when I thought of Yingli seeing the corpses of Naga sea warriors picked up from the deck of the ship before, her expression became a little weird, with disgust on her face. It seemed that she knew that Captain Brondy wanted to take these Naga warriors away. The warriors refining the shark oil probably have an adventure group poaching the Naga Sea Clan in Haiyinsi City. After careful calculation, hunting the Naga Sea Clan is far easier than hunting the sea beasts in the sea.

Captain Brondy leaned in front of the Lante Knight with a shy face, and said to him proudly: "Master Knight, the corpses of my Naga Sea warriors were not poached, but picked up openly. , For this reason, I also lost ten sailors, these recovered corpses can't be counted as things under the ban, right?"
