Ta-ta-ta...
Continuous raindrops fell on the deck, emitting a clear low whistle. Linn, who was inside the cabin, woke up from the continuous nightmare.
After seeing clearly the situation he was in, Lin En couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The sudden appearance of the goddess last night put a lot of psychological pressure on him. Fortunately, the other party had no intention of catching up.
They should be safe now.
Linn straightened up, rolled down the hard wooden bed, picked up a cloak hanging at the door, then opened the hatch and walked onto the deck.
The slow sea breeze carried bits of sea water towards my face, bringing with it the salty taste and moisture, blowing away the filthy air in the cabin.
Lin En looked up into the distance. Thick fog filled the sea and enveloped the entire sailboat. He could only barely see about three to five meters outside the boat.
This mist seemed to have some mysterious power. Even if he used a ring of magic [Tick's Farsight], he could not see further through the white mist.
The danger of sailing under such conditions is self-evident. Not only is it difficult to distinguish the direction, but there is also the possibility of hitting a rock.
"Master Wizard, are you awake? Did you rest well last night?"
A familiar voice sounded behind him, and Linn turned around to look over. The person who came was none other than the lame Lauder.
However, compared to last night, the other party seemed a little depressed, and he was obviously very frightened.
Linn did not answer Lauder's inquiry, but spoke directly. "Is this the Sea of Mist? How did you identify the direction in the past, and how long did it take to reach the wizard's land?"
"Normally speaking, it takes more than half a month to sail from Harbor Town. As for how to identify the direction..." Lauder took out a compass very carefully.
Lin En came closer curiously. The compass was circular in shape and made of wood. There were many complicated runes and patterns drawn on the surface. The most eye-catching thing was the pointer above, which pointed motionlessly at the navigation of the ship. direction.
Could it be a compass?
Lin En guessed secretly, and then heard Lauder explain.
"This compass is an alchemical creation made by the great wizard Herram. No matter where you are, it will always point in the direction of the wizard's land."
This is what enables them to cross the sea of mist. No matter where they start, they only need to follow the direction guided by the compass, and they can always find the wizard's land.
It's really magical... Linn picked up the compass and looked at it carefully. He became slightly interested in the great wizard named Heerram. This was the second time he heard this name.
It seems that Ansiuk spent so much effort to deal with several wizard apprentices and lure Laud out just to get this compass.
As long as this thing is handed over to the Holy See, it will definitely be a great achievement!
Since he couldn't understand the runes on the compass, Linn just made a note of it secretly and handed the things back.
Lauder reached out and took it, then looked a little confused. After a long time, he cautiously asked. "Are you a great wizard?"
"Of course not." Lin En shook his head, not daring to admit this.
He is just a wizard apprentice who has just come into contact with magic. It doesn't matter if he was mistaken for a formal wizard before. After all, with the help of his brain, he can indeed do many things that a formal wizard can do, but he is still too far away from the level of a great wizard. Far away.
Without the help of more than a thousand people from the [Boat Gang], he would not have been able to set up a trap that could destroy the entire harbor terminal.
What destroyed Ansiuk and others was not so much magic as the power of science.
Seeing Linn shaking his head in denial, Lauder seemed a little doubtful. He had seen the terrifying explosion with his own eyes last night. It was definitely a power only possessed by advanced magic!
But thinking that the other party had asked him to collect a large amount of raw materials, Lauder secretly guessed that this witchcraft called "Fireworks" was probably a powerful magic that required some special rituals to be prepared in advance before it could be used in an exceptional way.
"If this is the case, I'm afraid you will be criticized when we arrive at the wizard's land." Lauder couldn't help but sigh.
Linn's expression suddenly changed. There was a dangerous look in his eyes as he looked at Lauder. He vaguely smelled the smell called black pot.
Under someone's "kind" gaze, Lauder hurriedly explained.
Although he has been operating this waterway from the seaport town to the land of wizards, the person who created this route was the great wizard Herram.
To put it bluntly, the entire [Ship Gang] is just a tool in the opponent's hands. Whether they are willing or not, they need to transport some scarce supplies to the Wizarding Land every year.
Because they have always been very secretive, they have never made any major mistakes in more than ten years. But now because of Jonny and others, this transportation line has been directly destroyed.
If Linn is also a great wizard, then you don't have to worry too much. If not, you need to be prepared to be held accountable. This is why he specifically confirmed it.
Under Lauder's explanation, Linn quickly figured this out, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused. He could naturally think of the importance of this waterway.
This blame should fall on his mentor Kelu. If the other party hadn't been so brave and tried to abduct the Duke's second daughter, and was caught on the spot, how could the Holy See follow the clues and trace them all the way to Harbor Town...
"Is this the only way to go from the Wizarding Land to the Sekas Empire?" Linn asked.
"It should be more than just...the Sea of Mists is also connected to another important port - Vecnir, the capital of the Sekas Empire." Lauder said hesitantly. Although he couldn't be 100% sure, he guessed that Vicnir Most people in Ercheng are doing the same thing as themselves.
"I understand." Lin En nodded. It seems that things have not developed to the worst point, but he does not intend to take the blame. He has to find a way to get rid of it...
While Lin En was thinking about it, he asked Lauder for various information about the Wizarding Land. He was too unfamiliar with this place and would easily suffer without enough information.
After several inquiries, Linn finally learned that the Wizarding Land was different from what he had expected. It was not a refuge established by a group of wizards who were persecuted by the Holy See, but had already existed hundreds of years ago, with cities. , port and a huge island with a population of 600,000, the interior can almost be regarded as a small kingdom...
It's just that there are no kings and nobles here, instead there are wizards and various schools of thought. The one who holds the highest power is the Wizards' Council composed of several legendary wizards...
