【Chapter 489】 Solicitation
Three days later, the Unity appeared in the waters near the fertile port of Arabe City, dragging one of the fruits of the sea trials, the Black Swan. The communication with the magician is very smooth, and the high-level magician named 'Selen' is very aware of the current situation and does not hold the magician's shelf.
Regarding the escape of Stya, the whole process is basically the same as that expressed by Qin Song, but there are many more details. For example, someone concealed the truth about being attacked by a sea monster, causing a blood plague to break out in the camp at night. Due to the darkness of the sky and the extreme chaos of the scene, Seren and his disciple Larry, leading a group of magicians and three noble families of Stya City, boarded the Black Swan and began their escape journey.
On the night of the incident, at least two dozen ships in Baisha Harbor left the port in chaos. The sea monsters gathered outside the harbor launched a night attack with impunity.
In the end, the ships had to choose to disperse and flee for their lives.
The Black Swan was not very lucky, and not long after it went to sea, it was attacked by a sea monster chasing after it. After resisting in the middle of the night, more than half of the personnel were lost.
The rest of the people managed to survive until the sun rose, but unfortunately, some of them were injured to varying degrees during the resistance at night, which meant that they were infected with the blood epidemic.
Human nature is extremely fragile in the face of survival. The noble sentiment of sacrificing oneself and perfecting others is not something that everyone possesses. The tragedy of cannibalism inevitably happened.
In addition to this, there is one more important piece of information.
The purpose of the Great Migration was to take a boat during the day, break through the sea monster blockade, and arrive at Arabe City, where the forces of the two sides merged together and held the city. This plan was also unanimously agreed by the mage group of Arabe City, and they were ready to respond.
From this, it can be preliminarily assumed that if the rest of the ships had not been in trouble, their destination would have been the city of Arabe.
The blue sky overhead, overlooking the sea, cascading white waves roll and rise. Harald's heart became incomparably broader, and his bearing became more and more calm.
The city of Stya is his hometown.
The only one who can save his hometown is the commander.
He was convinced.
"Mr. Captain. Celen, who had changed into a clean robe, slowly walked to his side, with a sigh in his eyes: "The creation of the black stone collar is fascinating. I am now beginning to believe that you can really save the Principality. Although, your current position is different from ours. ”
"Stand?" said Harald, with a hint of ridicule in his tone: "We are the same against evil. It's just that the approach is different. Mr. Magician, I have respected you for your cultivation, your wisdom, and your amazing magical abilities. However, all of this, in the face of the wisdom of the Black Stone Collar, was dimmed. ”
Most magicians are homely and have a thirst for knowledge that surpasses that of ordinary people. Harald didn't reveal much important information, only vaguely told him that the ironclad ship was the pinnacle of the fusion of magic and intelligence.
This piqued a lot of interest in Seren.
The magicians of the Freethinking Mages Association are tolerant of all knowledge. Of course, this is also the path they had to choose after being 'forsaken' by God.
Therefore, for the mysterious Blackstone Collar, Seren is full of yearning, and his words are undisguised.
"I'm getting more and more interested in what they can do, if they really have wonderful knowledge, new and strange theories. I'm willing to start as an apprentice, provided they are willing to teach. ”
"Mr. Magician. Blackstone was praised, Harald's face lit up, and he blinked and said, "I won't let you down, but I can't guarantee whether they are willing to teach or not." By the way, I heard you're a sentient magician?"
"Yes. Selen nodded, raised his right hand, and each of his three fingers carried a gemstone ring of different colors: "Perception magician, the most useless magician." Haha......"
The so-called uselessness refers to the fact that the perception system has almost no ability to harm.
The high-level magician's mind, conversation, and demeanor are all very good. Harald was also happy to talk to him: "Can you elaborate on your abilities?"
"The first one is called the Ring of Malice. The gem is imprinted with malevolent perception magic. Seren lit up the dark red gemstone ring on his index finger: "Through it, I can sense malice within a certain range. In layman's terms, it's hostility. ”
"How can this be said to be useless?" Harald nodded: "Insight is too important for war. ”
"So to speak. But...... Do you know how I felt on the night I fled the harbor? In the endless darkness, the malice in all directions seemed to be like a frenzy, and wave after wave washed over my nerves. That feeling was like falling into a terrifying demon cave, and countless painful souls let out a piercing and terrifying scream. ”
Selen's brows converged into a Sichuan character, and a look of pain flashed in his eyes.
"It's a feeling that makes you want to die immediately. I've experienced first-hand what can be done when malice is monstrous, and it only exacerbates the breeding of fear. ”
"As you can tell, it was a terrible experience. Harald sympathized with this.
"Whew~~" Seren vented the turbidity accumulated in his chest, and groped for the light blue ring on his middle finger with his hand: "This is the Emotional Perception Ring." It may be somewhat abstract to describe, but in simple terms, it can perceive the emotions of people or animals, including positive emotions and negative emotions, and can judge some things with emotional states. Of course, it's mainly based on experience, not 100% accurate. ”
Harald looked interested, "That sounds interesting, can you try to sense my emotions right now?"
The corners of Selen's mouth raised a smile, this high-level magician in his thirties, with soft eyebrows and facial features, always with a shallow smile, giving people a wonderful sense of affinity.
This is a unique temperament that has naturally arisen from the perception of emotions for a long time.
"Fullness, confidence, pride, and a unique emotion, reverence, or admiration, your emotions are stable, but they are strong, like the energy that lies beneath the surface of calm water. This emotion even took a toll on me, and for the first time in many years, I felt the same strong but restrained emotions as before. ”
Emotional perception has a certain empathetic effect, which makes Ceren's emotions feel inexplicably confident.
Harald smiled and was noncommittal: "Amazing ability. ”
"It's not just personal emotions, I can feel the convergence of emotions. Just like this ship, there is a strong self-confidence and pride from the bottom of my heart. A strong belief that seemed to be fearless was something I had never felt before. ”
The united crew members are all carefully selected by Harald, the elite of the elite, and have a strong sense of identity and worship for the commander and the stars.
"What about the third ability?"
"Third ......" Selen shrugged his shoulders and a smile curled into his mouth: "Elemental Perception." I can perceive where the magical elements are converging around me, and the types of magical elements, which is very beneficial for meditation. ”
"Magical perception?"
Harald's pupils narrowed, and his intuition told him that Seren must have sensed two powerful magical forces aboard the Unity, which meant that he should have sensed the presence of Miss Elena and Miss Linda.
"Yes. Frankly, elemental perception has many roles, and determining the type of spell for a mage is the most rudimentary. Before some large-scale magic is released, it is necessary to absorb and gather mana, and I can sense it in advance and give early warning or some kind of assistance. ”
After saying this, Seren looked at Harald quietly and sensed a wonderful emotion - vigilance?
Harald didn't speak, believing that the magician could understand his problems by figuring out his emotions.
Sure enough, Selen nodded: "Frankly speaking, the moment I boarded this ship, I sensed two extremely powerful magic points. No, perhaps it is not a good way to describe it as magical, it is a wonderful elemental energy, rich and pure, full of mysteries. ”
It's a power from the stars, and you certainly haven't touched it.
Harald knew that he couldn't hide it, so he didn't deny it: "Your Excellency the Magician, your perceptual magic has opened my eyes. ”
This is equivalent to admitting it.
Selen smiled, looking at the vast sea with a calm expression: "The destruction of Stya City is a foregone conclusion. It turns out that our vaunted knowledge of magic is no match for evil. To be honest, I'm glad to have met you, which shows that evil is not without its opponents. ”
"Trust me, I'm happy to help you. The spread of evil is not good for anyone. ”
Wizards are high-end talents, and the Association of Free-Thinking Mages, unlike the old stubborn ones of the Kurminsk Empire, who stick to their own opinions, can accept new knowledge very calmly.
On top of that, magicians are the true ruling class of the Duchy of Vendôme. If they can be recruited, then it is not a dream to unify the Duchy of Vendôme.
Harald held out his hand sincerely: "Our commander-in-chief, there is a saying - knowledge does not refuse those who love it. Your Excellency the Magician, you should be able to feel my sincerity. ”
The two hands were clasped together, and Selen's eyes were clear: "For me, knowledge is the most wonderful delicacy. ”
