my age of magic

Chapter 938 40. Victims at Sea

(It was already the morning of the second day when our boat broke out of the tropical storm. The boat sailed into a relatively safe sea area, and saw a group of Naga sea tribe emerging from the sea. The besieged The mermaid girl in the middle looked a little familiar. Noah stepped forward to greet the group of Naga Sea Clan, and then realized that it was Barbara, the princess of the Naga Sea Clan, chasing after her all the way to express her gratitude to Noah, but unexpectedly Saved the 'Shirley' from the storm.

Noah and Barbara, the princess of the Naga Sea Tribe, were dating on the reef. Our boat stopped in this sea area for repairs, and Jacques also had the opportunity to rest on the boat for most of the day.

Unexpectedly, as soon as night fell, Noah ordered the fleet to set off and continue sailing eastward.

I originally wanted to ask Noah why he sailed at night, but he told me that the answer would be revealed soon. )
……

We waited for a long time on the 'Shirley', but we couldn't get an answer.

After drinking a little wine, I intend to return to the 'Slave Trader'.

Senior Dylan came up to me and told me that he had sorted out all the drawings of the teleportation magic circle, and wanted me to go to him and help him draw some blueprints of the magic pattern circle.Hearing what he said, I readily agreed.

The two of us flew to the terrace on the roof of the Beran's ship building on a magic steed, and saw Jacques standing in the captain's cabin of the Beran, while carefully measuring the chart, while driving the "Berran" 'Ride the wind and waves in the vast sea.

In the sea area of ​​Vashj Plane, there are countless hidden reefs, shoals, whirlpools, and seaweed fields. If a large ship rushes into them rashly, there will be fatal danger.

Sailing at night without the guidance of a chart is a very risky thing.

The first officer stood on the bow of the ship. Originally, a slender wooden pole protruded from the front of the bow, and a bright lantern hung in front of the wooden pole. The task of the first officer was to use the light on the bow to inspect abnormal situation in the sea, and gave an early warning to Jacques in the cab. The lantern was not very bright because of the distance. Senior Dylan's palm floated out, surrounding the entire Beran.

The sea area around the Bellan was brightly illuminated, and the original lantern was replaced with a "magic twilight" floating around the Bellan, and the number of people responsible for checking the situation in the sea area increased from one person to more than a dozen The sailors watched together.

I held the door of the cab with one hand and asked Jacques curiously: "What did Noah tell you? Want you to sail in the night?"

With dark circles under his eyes, Jacques said speechlessly: "He didn't say anything else, he just asked me to sail the boat into this sea area, and if I said it, I would definitely find something."

I said to Jacques, "Be smart, sailing at night is no joke."

Jacques held up a bottle of spiritual power potion, shook it gently to me, and said with a smile, "If you're too sleepy, I'll drink this."

Joan was lying on the bench in the captain's cabin, covered with a men's coat, which was Jacques' favorite. She looked very quiet in her sleep. Except for her dark skin, Joan's facial features looked normal. Quite delicate, with curved eyelashes, straight nose bridge, slightly plump and thick lips, but with a different kind of beauty.

I sighed softly. Joan was working as a receptionist in the "Tuna Love" Hotel, leading a quiet life. I didn't expect that because of us, I was involved in this incident, and I don't know when she will have Chance returns to Galapagos City.

I really want to tell her clearly: Rand Knight is not suitable for you, stop being obsessed with it.

It's just that when I moved my steps, I saw Joan huddled on the recliner in the corner, her eyelashes were shaking slightly.

Did she not fall asleep?Or just woke up?If you are awake, why hide in a corner and eavesdrop on our conversation?

I stopped and thought: If she just woke up, then she will definitely get out of bed next.

It's a pity that after waiting for a short while, I didn't see Joan sitting up from the bench in the corner.

Senior Dylan walked outside the door, poked his head at the door, and shouted to me: "Jijia, what are you still dawdling in there!"

"Hey, it's coming!" I quickly replied, followed in the footsteps of Senior Dylan, and walked out of the captain's room.

……

Senior Dylan's room looked very messy, and most boys' dormitories were like this.

The table is full of various blueprints and records. There is a magic robe hanging on the wall. The quilt on the bed is not folded. Apart from a few white shirts, there are also various blueprints. A pair of moccasin boots with pointed toes and some water stains on the boots.

There is a moonstone chandelier in the room, shaking constantly above the head, and the glass cover emits soft white light. The light reflects the shadow of my body, which is also swaying left and right behind me, erratically.

Senior Dylan tidied up the messy pile of magic parchment on the chair and asked me to sit down.

Then I began to sort out the magic parchment on the writing table. On many magic parchments full of words, there was a blank space in the corner, which was reserved for drawing illustrations and magic runes, Dylan The senior picked out the parchment that needed to draw illustrations and magic runes, and placed it on the table, which was a foot thick.

"Is that all?" I asked Senior Dylan.

Senior Dylan nodded and said, "Well, that's it!"

I said: "Okay, senior, tell me what runes to draw. If there are any reference materials, you'd better let me see them first."

"Most of them are there." Senior Dylan finished speaking, took out magic books from his magic pocket, and put them on the desk one by one.

I casually opened a magic book, found the magic runes annotated by Senior Dylan, and said, "Okay, I'll do some simple ones first."

For me, those space-type magic runes are very unfamiliar magic runes. The rune teacher will not be bored enough to spend the whole class time telling us such unpopular magic runes. In the Grimm Empire, most Magicians, the most respected is fire magic.

It's just that with the ability to reproduce in the spiritual sea, I can rub the pictures I see into my spiritual world in the form of photos.

When I want to draw this magic rune, the pattern of this magic rune will appear in my eyes. I just need to take the magic engraving pen and trace the magic rune along the rune lines on the eye mask. , so drawing magic runes is actually quite simple for me.

Senior Dylan found that I was very relaxed when drawing illustrations on those magic parchments, so he sat next to me and chatted with me: "Jijia, I think you can become a great scholar in magic circles, since You have controlled the thunder element, there is no reason not to learn space magic!"

I rolled my eyes and didn't answer his words.

The room fell silent, but it was only for a short while, and then Senior Dylan continued to say: "...What is the future of water magicians, oh, no, no, no, I'm not saying that water magicians are bad, I just think that with the existence of priests in the temple, water-type auxiliary magic is not as good as those prayer skills after all!"

Questioning the existence of a water magician is simply unbearable!

So I argued with Senior Dylan and said, "Isn't this war of planes enough to prove the role of water-type auxiliary magicians? Besides, when the water-type affinity reaches a certain level, they can be promoted to ice-type control magicians." Isn't it all right, teacher?"

"Of course, there is no doubt that the control ability of the ice element is very strong! But it is an ability that can only be possessed after the affinity reaches a certain level." Senior Dylan said.

Then he said: "Electric magic has very powerful control magic skills in the early stage. After the electric magic is advanced, you can learn space magic skills. Just imagine, when you are fighting, you are facing Your opponent releases a 'Lightning Technique', before your opponent fights back, draws a space crack to get in, and then emerges behind him, what kind of feeling is that..."

Senior Dylan said, gesticulating with his hands, and asked me: "How about it, are you interested in learning space magic with me?"

"Haven't you been studying recently?" I said without raising my head.

Seeing that I had finished drawing a rune illustration with ease, and started to draw a schematic diagram of the magic pattern circle on the magic parchment, Senior Dylan immediately interjected and said, "How can it be the same? Fishing every day and posting on the net for two days, learning magic is to persevere, if you don’t have such determination and perseverance, it’s not enough, but it’s also because I’ve been busy recording the teleportation magic circle in Galapagos City, and I don’t have time to tutor you, but , Now that the magic circle has been completely recorded, I have plenty of time to study those space magics with you! Haha, let's come together."

Facing such an energetic senior who is dedicated to studying space magic, I was speechless for a while.

Seeing me stop the magic engraving pen, senior Dylan realized that he was a little anxious, so he immediately eased his tone and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, so are you interested in joining our starry sky academy?"

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Even if I promise you, so what if I join the Star Academy? We are not trapped in the Vashj plane, we can't go there, even if we want to return to Green, at least we have to wait until Bao is overthrown." The regime on the Vashki plane, the Marquis of Rees?"

Senior Dylan smiled indifferently, as if he didn't care that he was trapped in the Vashj plane, and said to me: "This is not good, maybe we can raise enough magic materials in Connerson Island , in that case, I will directly rebuild a teleportation magic circle on the island to connect Conson Island and Illinas City. If the teleportation circle is really built, we will be able to use the portal to return to the Grimm Empire ?"

Talking about the list of materials needed to rebuild the teleportation magic circle, I couldn't help saying to Senior Dylan: "Senior, can you really get all the magic materials we need?"

Senior Dylan was full of confidence, and said to me: "Of course! This vast and boundless sea area is much richer than those dense forests and swamps full of monsters. Next, I am going to join you in this sea area." hunting sea beasts.”

"Didn't you also see the third-level sea beast that died in the hidden reefs? You should be able to estimate how many magic materials were produced by that sea beast! Those sea beasts are like moving treasure houses. Carrying countless magic materials on their backs, they are hiding in this sea waiting for us to hunt them down." Senior Dylan seemed very optimistic about hunting sea beasts.

But I felt that the matter was not that simple, so I said: "Actually, there is one thing I can't figure out these days. I just wondered where the Naga sea slaves on Johnny Jones' ship came from. I got it back. Later, I asked a few sailors on the ship, and finally figured out the relationship inside."

"These slave ships of Captain Johnny Jones are nothing more than black market merchant ships operating at sea to traffic the slaves of the Naga Sea tribe. The people who captured the slaves of the Naga Sea tribe were a group of sea poachers. They were basically led by a It consists of a well-equipped adventure group."

"They drive the seaboat to wander the sea. There is always a big wooden barrel tied with a rope behind the boat. On this wooden barrel, there is usually a ranger who is used as bait. The seaboat pulls the wooden barrel on the edge of the Naga Sea Clan. Hanging around in the sea, waiting for those kind-hearted Naga sea tribes to take the bait automatically, many Naga sea tribes were stabbed by poisonous daggers when they secretly swam to the wooden barrel and were about to save the ranger, and lost their resistance capable."

"These hunters generally don't put Naga slaves on their sea ships, so the slave ship was born. Captain Johnny is the slave trader who travels between these adventure groups."

"It makes sense, why do those hunters on the sea go to hunt the Naga Sea Clan? They would rather be hunted down by the Naga Sea Clan's patrol guards than provoke those sea beasts? I haven't been able to understand this recently. Listen to the boat The sailors said that those low-level sea beasts are hidden in the deep sea, and it is difficult to hunt them down." I said.

Senior Dylan sighed after listening to my narration, and said, "After all, there is a way. I heard that there are quite a lot of sea beasts on the other side of the Great Abyss. Maybe we should try our luck there."

Seeing Senior Dylan's dejected look, I think that Senior Dylan may be freed from his busy work, and suddenly he can't adapt to the leisurely and frightening life at sea. For a scholar like him For a magician, it is undoubtedly a waste of life, so he will rack his brains to find something to do.

So, I put down the magic engraving pen in my hand, rolled a piece of magic parchment into a scroll, put it aside, and took out a blank magic parchment from under the chair, and said while drawing: "Senior, I I once saw some strange magic runes on an altar. Before, I couldn’t recognize what those magic runes represented. Now it seems that these magic runes have many similarities with space magic runes. Senior, Do you want to study it..."

Before I could finish speaking, only three magic runes were drawn on the magic parchment, and the magic parchment was savagely snatched away by Senior Dylan.

Senior Dylan asked me a little excitedly: "Ji Jia, these runes... where did you see them?"

I replied: "In a demiplane cave called Xinliu Valley."

He hastily lowered his voice, approached me and asked, "How can I get there?"

I said without thinking: "There is a portal in the ivory tower in Sloit City Advanced Magic Academy. It is said that because of the reverse flow of time, the portal can only be opened once every ten years. It takes about half a month. However, the world over there has level restrictions, and only magic apprentices and warrior apprentices below the seventh level can enter there without being rejected by the power of the world."

Senior Dylan patted his forehead in pain, he could only sigh, and said helplessly: "Okay, what else do you remember, and draw them all on it, all of which are things that you have never seen before. Advanced space magic runes..."

So, after Senior Dylan got the magic parchment with only fifteen magic runes on it, he went into a state of frantic study again.

The cabin suddenly became quiet, only the sound of the pen tip scratching on the magic parchment.

……

Suddenly, there was a commotion on the outer deck of the ship, followed by a shout.

I don't know what happened on the deck, so I decided to go out and have a look, but obviously Senior Dylan was stuck in those magic runes and couldn't extricate himself, it seems that I went to check the situation on the deck with me.

Those magic runes were drawn by me from the 'Hammer of the Time Breaker'. I know that those are high-level space magic runes that are difficult to understand. Only in this way can Senior Dylan find his life again. Fun, I really didn't think about it, he was addicted to it all at once, and he ignored everything else.

I don't know much about space magic runes, so I don't know what these magic runes mean. I remember I asked other magicians, and they told me that these magic runes were just an ancient The meaning of the text above is: Time and Space Breaker.

Pass through a dark corridor, turn around the stairs, and come to the top of the ship building, just in time to watch a group of sailors gather and smash the side edge of the ship, pointing at the dark sea.

At this time, the first officer at the bow shouted to the captain's room: "Captain Jacques, we found some victims at sea!"

"Stop the boat and save people!" Jacques' hoarse voice crossed the night sky and spread far away.
