Super Magician: The Magic Network Collapsed Again at the Start

Chapter 198 Fallen Star Sea

"Haha, it's mine!" Anser laughed loudly.

The Dragonfly Ship isn't a top-tier magic ship, but it's small and agile, making it perfect for small teams.

The key is that very few people can build magic ships; they can't be bought just because you have money.

At this moment, several figures dressed in robes appeared on the top of the castle and, under the cover of night, stealthily approached his Dragonfly Ship.

'The spellcaster?'

Anser decisively descended and hovered above the Dragonfly ship. Just as he was about to cast a spell, he saw that the spellcasters were already standing obediently in place, bowing to him with a dignified posture.

“We are not Star Demon’s people.” The middle-aged man in the lead spoke hurriedly, his tone urgent but his expression relatively calm. “We are mages enslaved by him, who are only there to drive his ships. We did not participate in his evil deeds.”

Anser glanced at the chaotic battlefield in the distance and decided to let them go for the time being, and take over the space pirate base first: "Wait for me here."

He left with a single sentence, then raised his hand and activated a secret lock on the hatch of the Dragonfly ship before taking off and flying to the city gate to block the fleeing pirate gang.

A thought struck him, and he decided to try out the effect of mind-splitting.

""

A resounding dragon's voice flashed, and a wall of fire, about thirty meters long and ten meters high, stretched across the city gate, spewing out tongues of fire three or four meters long towards one side of the castle, the blazing flames illuminating half the sky.

Several fleeing space pirates were caught off guard and were burned alive by the sudden wall of fire, writhing and screaming in agony.

Anser smiled. Using Mind Sharing for the first time did not make him feel uncomfortable. It was similar to multitasking as usual. He only needed to devote a portion of his mind to it, so it was not difficult.

[Target dead, gain 25 combat experience]

The damage from the fourth ring fire wall spell is a full 5d8 (5-40), and it's continuous damage; charging in is suicide.

Several space pirates were burned to death one after another. Seeing this, the other space pirates dared not approach, but did not know where to run.

The city was surrounded by high walls, with only one gate, blocked in front and pursued behind.

Without hesitation, Anser cast the spell again. A short dragon's cry echoed through the night, and a bright flash flew from his fingertips, appearing in the air above the crowd in the blink of an eye.

"boom--"

The fireball exploded, forming a huge fireball that was yellowish-red, which lingered for several seconds, illuminating the inside and outside of the castle and captivating the eye.

A dozen or so space pirates were engulfed by the fireball. Without screaming or struggling, they were instantly reduced to charred corpses, lying haphazardly on the ground.

[Target dead. Gain 55 combat experience points and level up!]

The remaining dozens of space pirates were still in shock. After standing there for a moment, they quickly threw their weapons to the ground.

"I surrender--"

"Do not kill me……"

"..."

Anser remained vigilant, his gaze sweeping over the crowd as he carefully assessed their strength.

That magic master is a demon, and his three high-level subordinates are all of the evil faction. This group of space pirates is probably no good either, so we have to be careful.

"Everyone, put down your weapons and assemble in the center of the square, put your hands behind your heads and squat down—" he shouted.

At the same time, he ordered the air elementals to cease their attacks and bring out all the space pirates hiding in the rooms, including the wounded.

The space pirates did not resist and obediently did as they were told. Dozens of them huddled together, their eyes meeting in a mixture of fear and unease.

Taking this opportunity, Anser used the Paradise Mark to notify Salian and the others, instructing them to summon them once they were ready.

Salian, Colin, Blatt, Finn, Nornos, and several other former professionals from the Quese.

This is the advantage of having personal space; you can call for help anytime.

Salian quickly grasped the situation, confiscating weapons while keeping watch on the space pirates. The air elementals acted swiftly, searching the not-so-large castle thoroughly in no time, leaving no gap unchecked. The hiding space pirates had nowhere to hide and were gradually brought out.

The prisoners were all squatting in the square, numbering nearly a hundred in total, representing various races. Including the dozens who died or were seriously injured, the number of people at the pirate base was around one hundred and fifty.

A small portion of them were not combatants; these people either hid or fled, offering almost no resistance.

Anser instructed Salian to interrogate the space pirates to quickly clarify the situation, while he himself landed beside the Dragonfly ship.

The monks looked excited and quickly came forward.

The middle-aged man at the head of the group bowed slightly and spoke first: "Your Excellency, my name is Lin Qiancheng, from the Shoulong Empire, a senior mage of the Protection School. This is Mage Moen, and the other three are my students..."

Anser raised an eyebrow and looked him up and down.

Lin Qiancheng has slightly yellow skin, black hair and black eyes, and soft features, which makes her look different from the average Ferencian and more approachable.

The Shoulong Empire is located on the distant continent of Karatu. It is vast, has a long history, and is highly civilized. However, due to cultural and linguistic differences, the Faerun people do not know much about this ancient empire and often mistakenly refer to them as the Shou people.

Moen is a typical half-elf, tall and thin with bronze skin, and may have high elf blood.

The dice spun slightly, revealing the information of the two individuals:

Lin Qiancheng, Human, Level 11 Mage (Protection School)

[Moun, Half-Elf, Level 7 Mage (Evocation School)]

The other three are also formal professionals, but they are not from the Shoulong Empire.

According to Lin Qiancheng, they were magic users captured by the Star Demon Pirate Gang, who were used to operate magic ships. Everything they owned was confiscated, and with their limited spellcasting abilities, they had nowhere to escape and were forced to suffer exploitation.

This situation has been going on for several weeks. There were originally several mages, but they were killed one after another, and now only the five of them remain.

“Star Demon is a top-tier magic master who possesses a powerful artifact. We must leave quickly, or we won’t be able to escape once they return,” Moen quickly added after Lin Qiancheng finished speaking.

"Tarot cards?" Anser pressed.

“Uh…yes.” Moen’s eyes widened, as if he had thought of something. He exchanged a glance with Lin Qiancheng, both surprised and delighted.

"Where is this?" Anser continued to ask.

Lin Qiancheng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly replied, "The Fallen Star Sea. We are on a small island in the Fallen Star Sea. I observed it when we were sailing away from the mainland, and it should not be far from Agoraron."

Anser was taken aback, then overjoyed.

This is Faerûn!
Agoralon is located on the eastern peninsula of Fallen Star Sea, about 3,000 kilometers away from Sword Bay as the crow flies. It seems far away, but if you have a magic ship to travel by, you can fly there in a few days.

The teleportation block also shows two coordinates: Waterdeep and Blarock. Waterdeep is closer to Drag, but it is separated by the Chussar River and Baldur's Gate, making even riding a detour extremely difficult.

He asked a few more questions, but Lin Qiancheng and his group had only been there a short time and their knowledge was very limited.

"Tell me about this magical ship." He stood beneath the massive Dragonfly-shaped ship, stroking its slender metallic legs with an expression of amazement.

Lin Qiancheng immediately became interested, his face beaming with smiles: "Your Excellency, this is a Dragonfly-type magic ship, named Star Demon..."

The Dragonfly ship is shaped like an oversized dragonfly, about 36 meters long from head to tail. The head is the cockpit, the thorax is the crew rest area and cargo hold, and the tail is hollow, which can also store fresh water and cargo.

Its six long legs are very flexible, allowing it to stop on the ground, in trees, or in various complex terrains, and can also be used to grab and transport goods.

The Dragonfly ship has hatches on the left side and below its chest, but they are locked with steel locks. Lin Qiancheng and his group had just been planning to pick the locks.

Anser didn't have a key, nor did he need one. He easily unlocked the steel lock with two strikes, then threw it away and replaced it all with arcane locks.

Arcane locks allow for flexible access control settings, making them much more convenient than steel locks.

The side hatch was open, but there was no ladder. Fortunately, the ship's hull was low enough that a few people could easily climb up.
