Seeing that the mage suddenly became suspicious, Rhodes realized that he had said something that Zarrien didn't know originally.
Although Zarrien was the apprentice of this mage, judging from the descriptions of the crew, Zarrien was one of those who were often punished. This also showed to Rhodes that he was not interested in serving this mage.
Similar to Rhode's previous act of proactively preparing food for the mage, it was impossible for the original Zarian to do this.
In this case, Zarrien was also unable to receive careful instruction from this mage. The several spells he mastered were all the lowest level spells, and there was no existence lower than these spells.
This mage was unwilling to teach Zarrien even the most basic spells. Naturally, it was impossible for him to teach him the more advanced potion science. He could not even mention the name of potion science to Zarrien.
At this time, seeing Rhode say the word "magic potion refining", the mage was naturally extremely surprised and immediately became suspicious of the person in front of him.
"Tell me! Did you peek at my tome? I swear on my name, Cole Marchion, that if you dare to lie, I will punish you and let you remember it forever!"
Rhodes controlled Zarian's body and looked at the mage in a panic:
"I have never read any classics. It was a man named Kane who asked me to ask you. He said that you always discharge unpleasant gases into the sky. The crew members nearby are very dissatisfied and want to know. When will you finish refining the magic potion?"
Seeing what Rhodes said, the mage named Cole looked at him with some embarrassment, and his expression gradually softened: "I'm sorry you don't have the guts to peek at my tome. Since it was Kane who asked you to ask Me, you go back and tell him that I will use air magic to clear the surrounding air so that he doesn't have to worry about the smell."
As he said that, Cole looked at Rhodes with some dissatisfaction: "It's not polite, I can call him Kane. With your status, can you call him like this? What will the other crew members think when they hear it? You should call him Captain Kane. .”
When Cole's words came to his ears, Rhodes was startled.
Rhodes said Kane's name to Cole. He originally planned to test it out to see if Cole knew Kane's identity, but he didn't expect Cole to give such information directly.
What worried Rhodes was that Kane turned out to be the captain of the ship, which undoubtedly saved Rhodes the trouble of looking for Kane again.
Without saying anything else, Rhodes picked up the dinner plate and walked out of the cabin.
When he came to the side of the boat and casually threw the dinner plate into the rushing ocean, Rhodes' expression turned cold.
Rhodes discovered various unusual things about Master Cole. He had an aura that did not belong to an orthodox mage. If Rhodes did not perceive it wrong, it belonged to a sorcerer.
Among them, the most important point is that Cole was furious when he mentioned those classics, which far exceeded the importance that ordinary mages place on magic knowledge. This undoubtedly made Rhodes realize that there may be something hidden in Cole's classics. secret.
The refining of potions can intuitively reflect the identity of the magician. The potion science studied by the magician always requires the use of biological bodies as materials for refining. If you can observe Cole's refining of potions up close, If it is controlled, Rhodes will be able to know a lot of information.
Rhodes didn't know what Cole was hiding. In Rhodes' view, what Cole was hiding was nothing more than his identity as a magician, but he didn't know how far his research on magic had reached.
According to the feedback from the system log, the intermediate mysticism that existed in Zarrien was probably not taught by Cole. If Rhodes guessed correctly, Zarrien should have learned it by peeking at the classics.
Unlike Rhodes, who can learn special skills directly through skill points, ordinary creatures often need to take certain risks or even pay a heavy price if they want to acquire these precious knowledge.
At this point, now that Kane's identity has been obtained, the next thing is easy to handle. Rhodes only needs to find the location of the captain's room, and then he can find a way to wake up Kane.
Just when Rhodes was about to ask other crew members about the location of the captain's cabin in the name of Master Cole, bursts of exclamations suddenly came from the deck not far away.
Following the line of sight of these crew members, Rhodes looked towards the sea and saw two huge sailboats speeding towards the ship.
"Zarrien, so you are here." Just when Rhodes was confused, the burly crew member from before noticed Rhodes' presence at a glance, "Go find Master Cole quickly, we have met the enemy!"
"What happened? Who is our enemy?" Rhodes did not rush to find the mage, but planned to get more information from the crew member.
"Legan Pirates!" the crew member trembled, revealing a term that Rhodes had never heard of before, "'Thunder' and 'Giant Shark', I'm afraid the infamous 'Thunder's Wrath' and' The Water Walkers are all on the ship, my God! Why do we encounter existences of this level?"
The originally burly crew member couldn't help but tremble when he mentioned these two names. He felt sincerely afraid of the existence that these two names referred to.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and a light of hope burst into his eyes: "Go to Master Cole quickly. He is the only one who can deal with these enemies. What are you waiting for?"
Looking at the burly crew in front of him, Rhodes felt helpless. Not long ago, he was speaking ill of Master Cole. Now, facing an enemy he could not resist, he could only put all his hope of survival in On Master Cole.
"No need, I already know." Following a wave of space mana, high-level mage Cole appeared behind Rhodes.
"Mage Cole, please cast a spell quickly to block the approach of those Regan pirates!" Seeing Master Cole appear here, the crew members hurriedly said.
Other nearby crew members were also attracted by Cole's appearance and moved closer to him, but Cole had no intention of casting spells and just said lightly:
"I will cast a spell to block the enemy's approach. You don't have to worry. Just do your own thing. The most important thing now is to wait for the captain to give orders."
Cole's words instantly reassured the surrounding crew members. At this moment, Cole suddenly looked at Rhodes among the crew members and said, "Follow me."
Without waiting for Rhodes to reply, Cole took the lead and walked in one direction. Seeing this, Rhodes had to follow behind.
