Chapter 4 004: The Giant Whale and Arrival

The wizard's ship, which was already quite large at several tens of meters long, looked like a toy in front of this whale, which instantly covered the entire sailboat.

At this point, running away was completely pointless; Rosie instinctively pulled Nicole into her arms and held her tightly.

Just as the apprentices on the deck were about to be crushed into a pulp by the small mountain, something strange happened.

A thin film suddenly appeared around the sailboat, engulfing the entire hull like a giant bubble.

The next second, the giant whale and the sailboat collided with a deafening crash.

"Boom!"

The sailboat jolted violently, sending the apprentices on deck flying high like beans before crashing heavily back onto the deck, tumbling about.

Even so, the enormous whale was kept outside the membrane and did not crash onto the deck, thus saving the apprentices on board from certain doom.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

"My arm! My arm is broken!"

On the deck, cries of agony filled the air. The unprepared apprentices were in a terrible state, some with bloodied heads, others with broken arms and legs.

"Are you alright, Rosie?" Nicole asked anxiously about Rosie's condition.

Because Luo Xi was holding her, when the two of them bounced up and hit the floor, Luo Xi acted as a cushion, so she was basically not injured.

"cough!"

Luo Xi coughed, a sharp pain shooting through his back. It felt as if his ribs were broken. The intense pain made his face turn deathly pale, and cold sweat poured out uncontrollably.

There was no point in saying anything more at this point, so he forced himself to say, "It's alright."

"Complete an effort to endure pain, resulting in a critical hit, and add 6 days to the time limit."

The system notification suddenly sounded, and Luo Xi didn't know whether she should cry or laugh.

Nicole's eyes immediately reddened: "How can you be alright? Your face is so pale."

If Luo Xi hadn't been holding her, she wouldn't have fallen so badly.

She said remorsefully, "It's all my fault. I always eat too much."

Just then, a sharp shout interrupted their conversation:

"Damn beast!"

The wizard Seno appeared on the deck, his aura completely different from usual. Strange runes appeared on his black cloak, and he held a long two-handed staff in his hand.

His black cloak fluttered in the wind as he hovered in mid-air, staring coldly at the giant whale in front of him.

After colliding with the sailboat, the giant whale fell back into the sea. It seemed to have been hit quite hard, and it took it a long time to finally turn over.

It didn't go any further, but let out a long, mournful cry, and then remained motionless.

The wizard Seno was taken aback. He flew forward to check and discovered that the giant whale was already dead.

The giant whale appeared to have been slaughtered, its body covered in wounds, with a large hole in its head, its brain center shattered. Theoretically, it should have died long ago.

The reason it can still move is because a kind of "sea louse" has been put into its head. These little creatures, after being specially arranged with magic, can replace the brain's central nervous system to control the whale's body.

However, the previous impact also damaged the internal structure. The sea lice were dislodged from their original positions, disrupting the magical structure, which caused the giant whale to stop.

The wizard Seno frowned: "These dark wizards!"

Such methods mostly come from dark wizards, who have no respect for life and act in a cruel and bloody manner.

Most of the 68 apprentices on board were injured in the collision. The most seriously injured one had his head partially crushed, which looked quite frightening.

However, thanks to the magic, all the apprentices received proper treatment, including the one whose head had shrunk, who miraculously recovered completely.

This was also the first time that Rosie had experienced the wonder of magic. Listening to the obscure incantation of the wizard Seno, she felt her body become like clay, able to twist and deform. Her broken ribs naturally twisted back into their original positions, which was quite strange.

For the next few days, storms kept him confined to the cabin. Feeling a bit bored, Rosie borrowed several books about the wizarding world from Nicole and began reading them diligently in the cabin.

"Complete one effort to read a book, time incremented by 1 day."

After reading these books, Luo Xi gained a better understanding of this mysterious world. His biggest impression was its vastness.

It's way too big!

Take the South Coast Alliance, which they are currently heading to, for example. Its geographical area is as large as the Eurasia continent combined, but it is only a small area in the south of the Wizarding Continent, belonging to only the second-level Wizarding Domain.

Wizards refer to the area where they live as the Wizard Domain, and classify it according to its size, resources, etc., with the highest level being level five and the lowest being level one.

To the west of the South Coast Alliance lies the Dark Forest, a Level 1 Wizard Domain; to the north, the Ancient Ruins, a Level 2 Wizard Domain. Only by heading east can one reach higher-level Wizard Domains and get closer to the center of wizard civilization.

Besides the main continent, there is a deep underground world, a boundless ocean world, and even a mysterious and unknown sky world, which are beyond the limits of human imagination.

"What a vast world!"

Amazed, Luo Xi closed the book and looked out the window.

Outside, all one could see was wind and rain, lightning and thunder, and waves upon waves, the sea stretching to the horizon, full of mystery and the unknown.

The storm lasted for a week before it finally stopped. During that week, Luo Xi stayed in the cabin, focusing on his cultivation and reading.

"Complete one training session, time points +2 days."

"Complete one effortful reading session, time added 3 days."

"Complete one deep breath."

In a week, plus what he had accumulated before, Luo Xi had accumulated a total of 128 days.

Rosie spent ten days learning runic language, achieving mastery in one fell swoop.

Once you've mastered basic reading and writing of runic languages, there won't be any problems, and you won't face any obstacles when you start learning magic in the wizarding world. So Rosie stopped spending any more time on it.

He didn't have any particularly urgent need for cultivation lately, so after thinking about it, he stockpiled the remaining time for future use.

The day after the sky cleared, Rosie and her group finally arrived at their destination.

White Gull Harbor is a human port on the southern coast of the Wizarding Continent.

"We've finally arrived!"

As Ryan descended the gangway, he let out a long sigh of relief. Although the ship was nice, being confined to a small area every day for nearly two months of sailing was still somewhat uncomfortable.

"The voyage is finally over." Jobry nodded with a sense of empathy.

Rosie stood on the dock, gazing at the port ahead. He had thought that the Wizarding Continent was more prosperous and developed than his hometown, but it turned out that they were actually about the same.

It also features low-rise wooden buildings, dirty alleyways, and uneven dirt roads.

It seems that magic has not benefited human society.

"let's go."

After counting the number of people, the wizard Seno led them away from the dock and towards the street ahead.

At this moment, Luo Xi noticed a strange phenomenon: their large group, mostly children, should theoretically be quite conspicuous.

However, the people on the street seemed to pay no attention to them at all, and no one even glanced at them along the way.

After crossing two streets, the wizard Seno finally stopped in front of a tavern.

The tavern was bustling with noise, but just like the passersby outside, the patrons seemed completely oblivious to them.

The wizard Seno led them into the tavern and up to a room on the second floor that looked like a storeroom, filled with all sorts of utensils, with a large wardrobe in the center.

Standing in front of the wardrobe, the wizard Seno picked up his wooden staff and tapped it.

Suddenly, the old wardrobe seemed to come back to life, with strange runes lighting up on the doors, and then it creaked open.

A dense forest appeared inside the cabinet, its trees blocking out the sun, creating a gloomy atmosphere, with a muddy path winding into the distance.

The wizard Seno said, "Go inside."

Everyone stared at each other, clearly astonished by this amazing scene: the seemingly dilapidated wardrobe, when opened, led to a forest.

The apprentices went one by one into the wardrobe and into the forest.

When Rosie turned around and looked back, she saw a huge oak tree with a large hollow in the center, which was the tavern from before.

"This is the Traveler's Gate."

Just as Rosie was marveling, the wizard Seno came to her side and explained, "To facilitate travel, the wizards of the Alliance used spatial magic to build doors in various places. Through these doors, one can traverse long distances and make travel easier."

Luo Xi asked doubtfully, "Can it be built anywhere?"

Wizard Seno shook his head: "Of course not. Only places with spatial rifts and stable spatial coordinates can meet the conditions for building a Traveler's Gate. Otherwise, why would we need to travel such a long distance if the Alliance could just build a Traveler's Gate on the other side of the sea?"

That's true.

The wizard Seno continued, "It would be best to make a traveler's map in the future, with detailed coordinates and usage conditions for each traveler's gate. This will save you a lot of time."

"In the wizarding world, time means everything."

The journey continues.

The forest was very quiet, with only the occasional bird call.

Thick foliage blocked out the sunlight, and a layer of white mist made the already dim forest even more indistinct, as if one had walked into some untouched primeval forest.

After walking along this muddy path for more than ten minutes, a campsite came into Rosie's view.

A peculiar camp
