Five days later, everything was ready, and Li Nuo officially followed Hedwig out to sea to search for dragon collections in the Mossy Blue Cave.
If this trip goes well, Li Nuo estimates that he can return to the Suman Islands with millions of energy reserves.
Before leaving, Li Nuo cleared out the bounty tasks and wanted orders from Zhenara, and also got the 2.64 million gold coins he deserved from Selina.
At the moment Li Nuo and Hedwig boarded the ship, the total cash he deposited with Dinas reached 3.7 million gold coins.
This money is enough for him to buy a decent island in the inner circle, but there is still a long way to go before he can kill the ten-ring battle wizard instantly.
If there is a chance to plunder the small treasury of Butler Bauer, then Li Nuo will be able to make up for the shortfall in funds needed to instantly kill the ten-ring battle wizard.
Li Nuo planned to think about a plan to plunder the small treasury after the energy required for the instant kill plan was ready.
This requires him to seize the time to search for dragon treasures in the moss-covered blue cave.
"Hedwig, your boat is smaller than I expected. Can it withstand the strong winds and waves in the deep sea?"
Li Nuo followed Hedwig as he walked on the pier, passing tall and large magical mechanical ships one after another, and finally stopped in front of a magic yacht that was six meters high, four meters wide, and no more than ten meters long.
This is the boat that Hedwig uses to go to sea, a magic yacht.
It is sandwiched between many magical mechanical ships and looks like a baby ship.
It is thin, small, and short, far less stable than the magical mechanical ship next to it that is more than twenty meters tall.
If Li Nuo hadn't deconstructed many memories related to going to sea from Hedwig, and in these memories, the other party was driving this ship to sea, then it would be difficult for Li Nuo to believe that this ship can withstand the harsh environment of the deep sea. .
"Don't underestimate my ship, Jarvis." Hedwig lifted the magic lock and magic alarm on the magic yacht, led Li Nuo across the bridge, and boarded the deck:
"In the deep sea, especially in the "Starfall Sea" close to the Whirling Continent, the smaller the ship, the more flexible it is and the better it can avoid dangers in the sea. If there is a marine disaster of level 7 or 8, those big magical mechanical ships can float on the sea and hold on, but my ship can dive into the sea and avoid dangerous marine disasters underwater. "
Li Nuo stood on the deck made of silver-white metal and threw deconstruction techniques inside and outside the cabin.
System feedback showed that although the ship was small and looked a little thin, the metals used were all magic metals, and the item level was not low.
Mao estimated that such a ship might cost several million gold coins to buy. If you want to dive into the sea by boat, you will have to customize a magic circle and magic device specifically for diving, which costs a lot of money.
Li Nuo patted the hard metal railing and said:
"You spent a lot of time and money on this ship, Hideaway."
"That's natural. It's what I use to make money. It's my only support at sea."
Hedwig stepped into the cabin, walked through the somewhat narrow passage, and brought Li Nuo into the guest room:
"Here, this is your place to stay. I have cleaned the room and installed a bed that can be adjusted in height and softness. Behind the door on the wall is an independent bathroom. The magic water purification on the ship The water heater and magic boiler will provide clean hot water 24 hours a day. You can clean it up yourself, I'm going to the middle deck to warm up the magic engine."
Hedwig scratched his beard and introduced the guest room to Li Nuo, then turned and left, stepping into the stairwell to the lower floor.
Li Nuo used deconstruction techniques to examine the interior of the house. He was just about to sit down by the window and wait for departure when he heard a low roar coming from under the floor.
Li Nuo activated "Life and Death Tracking" and took a look. Hedwig was tinkering with the magic engine downstairs.
That low roar came from the magic engine.
Li Nuo thought for a while, stood up, walked out of the room, and walked along the stairs to the middle deck.
The noise in his ears became more pronounced, drowning out the sound of his footsteps.
Li Nuo came to the door of the power room where the magic engine was located and shouted to the figure inside:
"Hideaway! Do you mind if I come in and take a look?"
Hedwig turned his head, looked at the door while wearing glasses for hyperopia, waved his hands casually, and shouted:
"Please! But don't touch anything here! They have magic locks that will set off an alarm!"
Li Nuo got Hedwig's permission, stepped into the power room, and looked around at the place covered with magic metal pipes and magic array patterns.
Li Nuo has come into contact with four types of magic-related ships so far.
The metal wizard's hemispherical magic ship.
A magical mechanical ship transformed from a steam mechanical ship.
An emergency ship created by the deep sea magic "Magic Shipbuilding".
And the magic yacht that we are currently on.
If you count the magic sampan he put in his magic pocket as an emergency means, there are five types of ships related to magic.
These five types of boats have one common characteristic. They all use the method of "converting magic energy into mechanical energy" to provide driving force for the ship.
The magic engine is where the magic power in the magic stone is released.
The magic power enters the metal pipe from the magic engine and merges into the magic circle that sprays water.
The ship on the magic side can move forward under the reaction caused by the water jet.
The low roar before was the sound of the magic stone in the magic engine starting to release magic power.
This kind of magic stone has extremely high energy density, is specially designed for heavy-duty magic facilities, and is filled by high-level wizards.
The magic power it possesses is the second most common magic power here in the Suman Islands - water magic.
The most common magic in the Suman Islands is the magic of the deep sea.
So why not use the magic of the deep sea to release the water?
The liquid generated by water magic is pure water.
Water magic cast with water magic will not be corrosive.
The water magic itself will not have a negative impact on the lines of the magic circle or metal pipes.
The liquid generated by deep sea magic is usually deep sea water, and the deep sea magic it casts is corrosive.
In the process of transmitting deep sea magic, the magic array and metal pipes will be corroded.
Generally speaking, deep sea magic is only used as a source of power for ships in emergencies.
More often than not, water magic is the best choice for propelling a ship.
The higher the level of the deep sea wizard in the deep sea branch, the stronger his ability to transform deep sea water into fresh water.
After reaching the level of Selena's ninth-ring deep sea witch, the deep sea water she summons is no longer corrosive and is only saltier than fresh water.
Hedwig is a five-ring deep sea wizard, a non-combat wizard.
His ability to convert deep ocean water into fresh water is limited.
There are two sets of power systems in the power chamber.
One set is provided with water magic by the magic engine, and the other set is provided with deep sea magic by Hedwig in times of emergency.
The external difference between the two power systems is reflected in the different thicknesses of the metal pipes.
The metal pipes that transport deep sea magic are thicker and stronger, and the item level has reached level 50, which is much higher than the metal pipes that transport water magic.
From this we can see how corrosive the magic power of the deep sea is.
Will the wizard himself, who contains the magic power of the deep sea, be affected by the corrosive influence of the magic power of the deep sea?
There will be a little bit, but overall it's controllable and relatively safe.
Hedwig graduated from the Deep Sea Branch and learned the "Tidal Surge" meditation method, which is what Selina mastered.
This set of meditation methods improves the wizard's ability to purify deep sea water and greatly weakens the negative impact of deep sea magic on the spirit.
With it, the wizard can consume the magic power of the deep sea and extract fresh water from the deep sea water.
If the "Tidal Surge" meditation method advocates the removal of corrosiveness in deep sea water, then the "Deep Sea Scale" meditation method used by the Dreadsail Pirate Kingdom is to actively withstand the corrosiveness.
After the "Deep Sea Scale" meditation method is activated, scales can grow on a person's body, strengthening their resistance to corrosion and improving their flexibility in the water.
When practicing this meditation method, the more corrosive seawater is absorbed, the higher the physical fitness will be improved, and the harder the scales on the body will be.
If you are injured, you can quickly heal by absorbing deep sea water.
Because of this characteristic, the deep ocean has become a paradise for the Dreadsail Pirate Kingdom. As long as they are immersed in deep sea water, the pirates can continuously use sea water to repair their injuries.
Li Nuo has the "Deep Sea Scale" meditation method, which covers the cultivation content from the first to the fourth ring.
This set of meditation methods was obtained after he killed a wanted criminal.
At the same time as "Scale of the Deep Sea", I acquired the magic book "Secret Book of the Deep Sea·Volume 1".
Li Nuo deconstructed three incomplete spell blueprints from this book:
"Deep Sea Detection", completeness 10%, high-level spell, can detect the surrounding terrain in deep sea water.
This spell works wonders in the twilight zone and the aphotic zone.
Its spell flaw is that the casting cost is increased to 10 times, consuming 1 point of soul strength and 10 points of energy per minute. The upgrade effect is to increase the detection range.
The second spell is "Deep Sea Swimming", with a completeness of 20%. It is a regular spell and cannot be upgraded.
It can offset part of the seawater resistance and enhance the explosive power of short-distance swimming.
Its spell flaw is that the casting cost is increased to 5 times.
"Deep Sea Breathing", completeness 20%, regular spell, cannot be upgraded. This spell is specifically used to breathe in deep sea water.
The spell flaw is the same as "Deep Sea Swimming".
Deep sea spells can also be cast using deep sea magic power instead of soul strength.
As long as Li Nuo reaches level 90 with the "Deep Sea Scale" meditation method, he can extract deep sea magic power from the deep sea.
The bad news is that since the "Deep Sea Scale" meditation method is only 20% complete, his efficiency in extracting deep sea magic is relatively low, one-fifth of normal conditions.
The better news is that the "Deep Sea Scale" meditation method does not increase "spirit".
Its main attribute is the same as "Metal Fusion", which is "will", and its secondary attributes are "tenacity" and "dexterity".
If practicing it hadn't required Li Nuo to soak in sea water, Li Nuo would have started practicing it long ago.
Oh, by the way, the breathing method given by Calm Knight Keda can also absorb the magic power of the deep sea, but its efficiency is far less efficient than the wizard's meditation method.
"Bang." The energy output gate of the magic engine was opened by Hedwig.
The magic engine completed the preheating work, and the surging water magic flowed into the metal pipes, lighting up the magic lines in the power room.
For a moment, aqua-blue energy light filled the power room, and the low buzzing roar became restrained and stable.
"Done!" Hedwig clapped his hands and greeted Li Nuo:
"Let's go to the control room!"
As he walked towards the upper deck, Hedwig introduced to Li Nuo beside him:
"In fifteen hours at most from now on, we will be able to reach the sea above the Moss-covered Blue Grotto. I told you before that "Starfall Sea" is the territory of the Chanal family. We collect dragon treasures there and need to spend money to buy a pass. Halfway through, we will encounter the sea checkpoint of the Chanal family. I will communicate with the Chanal wizard at that time to ensure that we can pass the checkpoint smoothly. "
Li Nuo nodded and said:
"No problem, Hedwig. By the way, only Xingluohai of the Chanal family can collect dragon treasures? Doesn't that mean that the Chanal family has made a lot of money?"
"No, no, no, you don't know something." Hedwig waved his hand repeatedly:
"In all the sea areas surrounding the Whirling Continent, you have the opportunity to see dragon treasures falling from the sky. Only the sea areas near the Suman Islands are controlled by the Unas Ring. The rest of the sea areas are in the hands of other wizarding nations. Chana The Starfall Sea of the Er family is open to all wizards of the Unas Ring. To the east of it, the Pure Light Court also controls a large area of the sea, but outsiders are not allowed to enter there, only people from the Pure Light Court are allowed to enter."
"So that's it." Li Nuo and Hedwig stepped into the control room, stood in front of the control console, and watched the other party drive the magic yacht out of the berth.
The magic yacht moved forward at a constant speed driven by the water spray array, both smoothly and quickly. It soon left the bustling port and entered the relatively empty offshore area.
The magic navigation instrument on the control console marked the route of the trip and the sea areas passed by, and also listed the fog threshold of each sea area. These are the navigation services that Headway purchased from the Deep Sea Branch, and he had to pay 500 gold coins every month.
Li Nuo moved closer to the magic image of the magic navigator and took a look. The channel chosen by Hedwig was a regular route, and he could encounter many passing ships on the way.
Li Nuo traveled in a low-key manner, not wanting others to know that he had left the inner circle.
Before setting off, he changed his appearance by "pretending to be a living corpse" and also wore glasses that blocked his eye color.
Theoretically, as long as there was no one related to Dikla Fagan in the passing ships, Li Nuo would not be noticed by anyone.
Of course, this assumes that Hyde is dignified and keeps his mouth shut.
Li Nuo wasn't too worried about this.
After signing a magical contract with the other party to go to sea, Li Nuo signed a confidentiality contract with Hedwig as a defense wizard.
With the double guarantee of contract and deconstruction, Li Nuo could minimize the risk of Hedwig revealing his whereabouts.
Li Nuo looked away from the magic navigation instrument and chatted with Hedwig in the control room.
The topic gradually turned to the common sense necessary for going to sea.
Speaking of this, Hedwig's dry face with a big beard showed a rare serious look:
"Jarvis, the most important thing for you after entering the water is not to run three meters away from me. The entrance to the Moss-covered Blue Grotto is located 20 meters below the water. We are exploring in the Blue Grotto The process will be much more difficult than when we fly upward on the ground. The sinister undercurrent is our first enemy. It will randomly appear on our road and appear as a fierce current that is difficult to contend with. If you are not careful, you will They will be swept away by the undercurrent, and they will barely break free from the current until they are twenty or thirty meters off the route."
Hedwig held the rocker that controlled the ship with one hand and gestured in the air with the other hand, vividly describing the dangers of the underwater undercurrents.
Li Nuo called up the spell panel of "Deep Sea Swimming", glanced at it, and asked:
"If I use the "Deep Sea Swimming" spell, can I escape from the undercurrent? "
Hedwig was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Nuo with wide eyes:
"Ah? What? You can "swim in the deep sea"? Aren't you a death wizard? "
Li Nuo shrugged slightly:
"When I arrested criminals from the Terror Sails Pirate Kingdom, I found the magic book that recorded this spell. I was lucky. The magic lock on the magic book happened to be lifted by the criminal, and then I learned it. Don't think Surprise, I have "Magic Savvy". As long as I have an unlocked magic tome, I can learn spells. "
Hedwig's expression could be described as jaw-dropping.
Having "Magic Proficiency" means that Li Nuo can pass the wizard student stage and become a fourth-ring wizard in a short period of time.
"Okay. Uh, okay. No wonder you asked me to sign a confidentiality agreement."
Hedwig shrank his neck and glanced suspiciously at the white line on Li Nuo's collar, which was the symbol of a wizard:
"According to the requirements in the contract, I will not reveal your secret to the outside world. But to be honest, it is really strange that a person with "magic knowledge" is only a first-level wizard. "
Li Nuo smiled nonchalantly:
"It's not me who makes people feel strange, Hedwig. In the final analysis, it is caused by the mismatch between the decree of the Unas Ring and reality. When judging the level of a wizard, the Unas Ring only considers the size of the spiritual ocean and does not consider other factors. Factors were included, so I was given the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole.
"If you think about it carefully, my situation is very similar to yours. What you sell is real, but because fakes are more popular and legal, your genuine products become fakes in the eyes of others. Look at me again. I actually have far more strength than a sixth-level combat wizard, but I was judged to be a first-level wizard. Both of us are products of deformed rules, are you right?"
Hedwig scratched his head and muttered:
"Oh, that seems to be true."
"Uh, wait." Hedwig came back to his senses and looked at Li Nuo in surprise:
"Did you just say that your combat strength exceeds that of a sixth-level combat wizard?!"
"There's nothing surprising, every wizard with "Magic Proficiency" can do this. "
Li Nuo shook his hand and said:
"I just don't practice meditation as hard as they do, and I am busy becoming a higher-level wizard. Of course, I can take advantage of loopholes in the law, but it will also give up the ability to extract magic power and learn high-level magic. opportunities, and a bright future as a mentor in a magical research institution."
"Then will you stay in the First Ring Stage for the rest of your life?" Hedwig recovered from his surprise.
"It depends on the situation." Li Nuo didn't say much.
In fact, he had a conclusion in mind.
Only after he has the ability to instantly kill a ten-level battle wizard will he consider improving his "Spirit".
After all, once his "spirit" is high, there will be fewer targets for him to initiate life-and-death duels, and his options for "overturning the table" will also be reduced.
If you think about it carefully, he will probably be promoted to a high-level wizard after the order here in the Suman Islands is stable enough and the Suman Islands become his basic base to strengthen his influence on the Suman Islands.
Going deeper, if "turning the table" doesn't solve the problem, but being a high-level wizard can, then Li Nuo will reach the wizard level.
This kind of flexible control of wizard levels and combat effectiveness is something Li Nuo is thinking about recently.
