Wizard's Journey

Chapter 277 East Coral Island

Ten days later.

From a distance, a giant ship was being chased by a smaller ship. The giant ship was over a hundred meters long, while the smaller ship was only about sixty meters long.

Anchor ropes were thrown from the small boats onto the large ship and tightly bound together.

The ragged people on the small boat were agile and swift, yelling and screaming as they slid down the anchor rope toward the larger ship, where they fought each other with makeshift weapons.

"Hmm? Pirates?"

Green stood in mid-air, looking at the chaotic scene of howling and shouting all over the deck, his gaze fixed on a female knight.

The female rider, wearing a helmet and silver armor, wielding a longsword, appeared increasingly exhausted under the excited and frenzied attacks of the three pirates. Yet, she still gritted her teeth, displaying a stubborn refusal to give up, and had a black beauty mark on the corner of her mouth.

This image is strikingly similar to the image of the wife that Green dreamed of in his childhood.

"Haha, what great luck! There's even a virgin! I'm determined to have her..."

"Damn it, don't use force! If you hurt her, I'll break your arm and feed it to the sharks!"

Two of the three pirates who were attacking the victim had bloodshot eyes, like hungry wolves seeing a lamb, eager to pounce on it and ravage it.

Only the other pirate remained relatively calm.

Because he knew that such good things were mostly the pirate leaders' doing, and it was none of their business to get involved.

Shaking his head, the disheveled pirate with iron chains on his arms frowned and looked around. Suddenly, he paused, rubbed his eyes hard, and then opened his mouth wide, pointing to the sky.

"White-haired devil, what are you doing?"

The two pirates who were besieging the female knight cursed when they saw the pirate with iron chains on his arms standing there dumbfounded and not exerting any strength.

"Witch! Wizard! Wizard!"

After recovering from his shock, the pirate pointed his index finger at Green in the sky and screamed hysterically in fear.

The wizards of the sea, much like the monsters in the nightmares of the sea, are the most feared unknown beings in the pirates' fantasies.

Click!

The pirate pointing at Green was turned into a vivid ice sculpture. Green slowly fell from the sky, glancing indifferently at the pirate.

"The dignity of a wizard must not be violated."

With a bang, the ice sculpture turned into a sky full of ice crystals.

Green replaced Mina's Ice Marrow Body talent with Bibiliona's Water Rune Evaporation talent. Although she still couldn't use high-rule sorcery, it was more than enough to deal with ordinary humans.

"you……"

Grimm glanced sideways at the Truth Face, and with a snap, the other pirate pointing at Grimm was also turned into an ice sculpture.

The other pirates were already terrified, dropping their weapons and screaming, but Green ignored them. Looking into the female knight's eyes, which were wide with fear like those of a startled rabbit, he asked in a hoarse voice, "How far is it from here to East Coral Island?"

"There are still...three more days of travel to go," the female knight stammered.

Similarly, she was also filled with fear—the fear of a lower being facing the wanton slaughter of a higher being, just as Grimm felt when facing the Black Sota Stigmata Wizard.

Green didn't care about the thoughts of ordinary people, even though the woman in front of him, despite her strong and stubborn demeanor, had a pitiful appearance that was exactly the kind of perfect wife Green had fantasized about in his childhood.

Green then asked, "Are you from East Coral Island?"

"Yes." The female knight nodded hurriedly.

"Um."

After Green agreed, he raised his hand and casually gathered a deep red fireball between his index fingers, like a tiny sun being born, its light dazzling!

The temperature around the fireball began to rise at a noticeable rate, the air began to distort, and the wooden planks beneath Green's feet began to creak and warp.

"No...please don't, Qing, don't kill me, I'm willing to give everything..."

The female knight's face turned deathly pale. She looked at Grin with terror and pleading, crawling backward as she tried to protect herself by using distance and obstacles to get away from this demon.

Green looked at the female knight with a puzzled expression, paused for a moment, then seemed to understand something, letting out an almost imperceptible sigh, as if a beautiful fantasy had shattered.

Green slowly turned around and casually pointed towards the pirate ship in the distance.

"No!"

In the distance, the pirate king cried out in alarm, but to no avail.

With a deafening roar, a violent wave of fire shot into the sky, sending wood chips and debris flying everywhere. The remaining pirates cried out in despair on the burning ship, but were quickly engulfed by the flames and sank into the sea.

"Ah! Why? You bastard! Why! Why do you, a high and mighty wizard, have to..."

Before the Pirate King could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly widened, and his face, body, and limbs began to writhe violently. With a final, anxious, and desperate cry like that of a baby, his body suddenly shattered into numerous tentacled organs that devoured each other.

This was the first time Green had used his alienation field magic. The terrifying state of the alienation and splitting was truly frightening not only for ordinary people but also for wizards.

"ah……"

"what……"

Such a cruel scene not only terrified the pirates on the ship, but also instilled fear in the merchants, sailors, and knights, who all kept their distance from this monstrous Green.

Green casually flew into the sky, saying with a playful tone, "Why? For justice."

A short while later, Green, back in the sky, said calmly, "Not bad, we'll reach East Coral Island today."

What takes sailors several days to sail is, for a wizard, at most, the time it takes to pluck an hour or two.

Yorkriana, who was chatting with the myna bird, turned her head and asked in confusion, "What's going on? Why did you get involved in some pointless human squabble after going down there?"

"It's nothing, just fulfilling a naive and silly childhood dream," Green said, before continuing to fly into the distance.

After about two hourglasses.

As more and more ships passed by on the sea beneath their feet, Grin and Bibiliona, who were rapidly slicing through the sky, looked at the landmass appearing on the distant horizon and exclaimed with delight, "We've finally arrived!"

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Green turned to Yorkriana and asked, "Which city do you live in? Should we go back and check?"

After a moment of dejection, Yokliana shook her head: "What's there to see? I came back to see it after I became a full-fledged wizard. But... there's nothing left."

When Yoklyana says she has nothing left, she is probably referring to the ties she has with her parents and relatives.

After all, a hundred years is far too long for ordinary humans, not to mention that Yorkleyana's time to become a formal wizard may have already exceeded a hundred years.

Could it be that an old woman suddenly finds another old woman based on so-called bloodline and says to her, "I am your great-grandmother from many years ago"?

This is a really boring and pointless thing to do.

Green nodded and said slowly, "Then let's fly directly to Bisser City."

Zerato Harbor, the port where Green and his companions left East Coral Island, is home to the Moon Well, which Green still finds mysterious and unbelievable.

However, because of his longing for Raffi, Green didn't want to linger and conduct research any longer, and he took Yorkriana and glided quickly through the sky.

"By the way, Green, do you remember the Duke who gave us such a grand send-off at the Port of Zerato? Hmm, he had a bit of baby fat on his face and liked to twirl the ruby ​​ring on his right thumb," Yorkriana asked.

Green nodded. "I remember some things. What's wrong?"

Yorkliana said slowly, "I only found out when I returned as a formal wizard that he was actually a formal wizard who lived in seclusion in a remote place like the East Coral Isle."

Green was slightly surprised, but he just nodded and didn't pay much attention.

Two days later.

Green and Yorkriana, who were initially full of excitement, suddenly froze after flying over Bisel City.

On the street below, a troop of knights, seemingly veterans of a fierce battle, rode slowly past, longswords raised high, their faces solemn. In unison, they roared proudly, "Dedication!"

The cheering civilians on both sides of the street were enthusiastic, with lanterns and decorations everywhere, and their faces were full of smiles.

At the very end, the prisoners, bound by chains, were filled with despair and terror, their faces ashen.

This scene is a far cry from the image of the oppressed lower classes, the dilapidated streets, and the distorted prosperity of the city that Green remembered.
