78. Encounter
The sun was shining in the cabin, and the magic parchment on the writing desk had formed a small mountain, whether it was discarded parchment or successfully drawn magic scrolls, all scattered on the floor, and the oak walls were nailed with a row of magic design drawings, just the hardest magic drawings I had ever seen, and the runes on them seemed to me like a book from heaven.
Senior Dylan was sleeping soundly on the wooden bed next to him, his emaciated cheeks were covered with a thick layer of stubble, his eye sockets were sunken, he had lost a lot of weight recently, he had forgotten to sleep and eat every day these days, just to be able to design the teleportation magic array as soon as possible.
In Senior Dylan, I saw the style of a magician, who was the same kind of person as Yerkis and Shaun Scholar, willing to sacrifice everything for magic.
I've never experienced so many failures when it comes to making magic scrolls, and this time, drawing Dylan's teleportation scroll finally gave me a taste of failure.
For me, those space-based magic runes are unfamiliar, and those magic pattern splines built between runes and runes are also unfamiliar, and I can't even grasp their rules, so I can only keep groping through failures again and again.
One after another scrapped sea animal skins were discarded by me on the floor, and if a scroll was successful, it would also be tied to Ma Lian grass and thrown on the floor casually, and the room was messy like a garbage dump, even if it was a lucky magic scroll that was successfully drawn, its function did not meet Dylan's requirements.
The drawings designed by Senior Dylan to teleport the magic array this time are based on the jerky and difficult magic runes I showed him at the beginning, these magic runes were originally engraved on the handle of the 'Time Breaker', I depicted them, and after giving them to Senior Dylan, Senior Dylan discovered a new kind of spatial magic from these magic runes.
According to Senior Dylan, this new type of space magic can select a teleportation magic array as the coordinate point, and the magician can open the teleportation magic array on any plane, and can open a teleportation magic array that can return to the coordinate point.
According to the magic drawings designed by Dylan, it is an extremely complex set of magic pattern drawings, and it is said that the template is based on a five-masted sailing ship, but he wants to simplify the complex magic pattern drawings and design a magic scroll that can be directed to tear the gap between time and space, and can be teleported in a short distance.
It's a pity that after one night of drawing, five bottles of precious autumn ink were wasted, and a 'directional teleportation scroll' was not successfully drawn.
Instead, in the failed product, I got seven random teleportation scrolls, which made me smile bitterly.
Outside the window, a gray-feathered seagull passed by, and a larger figure nimbly chased after the seagull, Deborah's black and white wings were very distinct in the sky.
After a few moments, Deborah peeked into the room with her innocent little face on the glass window outside the cabin, and saw me standing at the desk, staring at her, and quickly screamed in fright, spread her wings, and fluttered away from the window on the side wall of the ship.
Deborah's reckless peeping action woke up Senior Dylan on the wooden bed, and he sat up from the bed at once, saw the bright sunlight shining out the window, and said to me in a daze, "Oh...... Oh, it's dawn!Why didn't I sleep so long?Jiga, why didn't you wake me up sooner?"
Then he kicked away the discarded sea beast skin on the floor, found his leather boots and put them on his feet, scooped up a sea beast skin from the ground, and said casually: "How is the painting of the magic scroll, look at the smooth lines...... Well, it looks pretty good!"
I glanced at the messy desk and said to Senior Dylan, "I'm sorry, Senior Dylan, I wasted so many magic materials, and all of them failed!"
Senior Dylan laughed and replied, "What is this, this is just the beginning, a newly designed magic scroll is destined to need to be constantly explored, optimized, and changed...... Every magician will encounter this process, it is just a one-night failure, let me see what our drawings are wrong. ”
Examining each magic line, Senior Dylan finally took out a magnifying glass and carefully examined the magic lines one by one, while letting out a sigh of admiration: "You draw these magic scrolls really well, let me see, why can't it ...... all the time"
After a while, Senior Dylan finally finished looking at this discarded sea beast skin, and then straightened up, only a magic thread on it said to me, "Oh...... It's not a problem with your drawing, maybe I should change it here. ”
Senior Dylan explained it to me, and I roughly understood what he was thinking.
Senior Dylan asked me, "Can you draw another one according to this magic thread connection?"
I said, "Of course!"
Senior Dylan exclaimed at me, "Jijia, the magic power in your magic pool is really abundant!"
I first traced the modified magic line on the discarded drawings according to the way he said to draw them, and then asked him, "Senior Dylan, is that so?"
"Yes, yes......"
After Senior Dylan learned of our plan with the Naga Sea Clan, he immediately dropped the design of the teleportation magic array, and spent two days hastily designing this 'Directional Teleportation Scroll'.
In his opinion, we are bound to be responsible for luring the Faceless General to the extinct volcanic island in order to have a chance of victory, so how to lead the Faceless General to the extinct volcanic island has become the first problem we must overcome.
While Notta and I were pondering how to increase the speed of the five-masted schooner, Senior Dylan said, 'Why don't you design a directional teleportation scroll!'
This was the result of the blueprint for the 'Directional Magic Teleportation Scroll'.
Now it's just one step away from success.
It is said that adversity brings out the best in people, and now it seems to be true.
On the afternoon of the third day, I managed to draw a 'Directional Magic Teleportation Scroll'.
......
Noah and I quietly entered the heart of the abyss on the Sherry, intending to visit the island-like extinct volcano.
According to my plan, it will be our main battlefield.
Originally, this venture into the center of the abyss, Count Evan and the Rand Knight were firmly opposed, in their opinion, this is tantamount to a trick, we have no way to break through the Faceless Legion's coastal defenses, and once entangled by the Faceless Scout Squad, it will be a big problem.
Because in this sea, the speed of the five-masted galleon could not shake off those faceless warriors.
Noah and I still insisted on going to the Great Abyss to see at least some of the Dark Faceless Beings in the Great Abyss, but Count Evan refused to agree anyway, and finally Noah and I had to take out a 'Directional Magic Teleportation Scroll'. And assuring them that if we encounter the Faceless, we will abandon the five-masted galleon, use this precious teleportation scroll, and leave as fast as possible, convinced Count Evon.
Seeing that he could not persuade us, the Rand Knight decided to follow us, but Noah and I refused.
In fact, our luck wasn't great.
As soon as the Shirley entered the heart of the Great Abyss, it didn't go far before it spotted a Faceless Maritime Patrol team.
This was the first time I had seen a living Faceless warrior, floating on the surface of the sea, looking like giant squid, each of them more than ten meters long and swimming fast in the sea.
Viewed from the sailing ship Shirley, the Faceless warriors showed only their black backs in the sea, looking like the large fish in the sea.
Deborah kept circling around the 'Shirley' sailboat, she immediately spotted the Faceless team, thinking that those Faceless warriors were a group of large sea fish, she spread her wings and chased over, a tentacle five or six meters long stretched straight out from the sea, Deborah suddenly turned sideways in the air to change the direction of flight, and her body slid against the huge tentacles.
Seeing the tentacles coming out of the sea, the sailors on the 'Shirley' were immediately frightened and their legs weakened, and they sat on the deck with a fart.
A Faceless warrior emerged from the sea, its massive body looking like a blurred human form, its hands and feet were huge tentacles, and he exposed his upper body on the surface of the sea, raising his long arms high in the air to pull Deborah out of the air.
The remaining Faceless warriors turned into several lines of water and rushed straight towards us.
It wasn't until those Faceless warriors were only a few dozen meters away from the 'Shirley' that I really saw the strange reminder of the Faceless Ones, these Faceless warriors were still very different from the giant squid, they looked more like the tentacles of large octopuses, they only had strong limbs on their torsos, no head on their necks, only a large tentacle like a elephant pull, and on either side of that tentacle grew two like black gems.
These big faceless creatures look disgusting, their huge tentacles are covered in strange patterns, their dark gray skin is hidden in the sea, they are constantly writhing and swimming fast, they are a group of swimmers.
The bow of the 'Sherry' smashed into a wave of waves, and the bow of the ship splashed white spray, and the whole hull was lifted high by the waves.
A stout tentacle nearly three meters long sucked on the ship's gang, and a faceless warrior appeared at the bottom of the 'Shirley', its body wrapped around the hull of the ship, like a starfish attached to the rock wall, Karantso stood on the bow of the ship with a speargun, the huge cast iron speargun was as light as nothing in her arms, she aimed at the faceless warrior under the ship, and decisively shot a harpoon, the huge harpoon emitted a buzzing sound that broke through the air, whistling and piercing into the huge tentacles of the Faceless.
The harpoon pierced the smooth and tough black skin of the Faceless Warrior, but it was tightly wrapped by the tight muscles on the arm, and the Faceless Warrior, who was stung by the speargun, rushed to the deck of the 'Shirley' like a madman, a black figure appeared behind the Faceless Warrior, Caterina held the 'Sword Breaker' in her hand, and stabbed the Faceless Warrior in the back, and a stream of purple-black viscous blood spurted out of the Faceless Warrior's body.
The Faceless Warrior swung her tentacles around Katarina, who stomped on the 'Elephant Pull' at the location of the Faceless's head, nimbly dodging the Faceless Warrior's strangulation, and cut several wounds on the Faceless Warrior's tentacles, the Faceless Warrior didn't care about the wounds on his body with his huge body.
Caterina's form reappeared on the side of the ship, and the skill of 'flashing' required a lot of physical strength for Katerina.
She looked at the broken blade 'Sword Crusher' in her hand, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, she inserted the broken blade into the scabbard tied to her thigh, pulled out a recurve knife from her waist, and the snow-white teeth gently bit her red lip, and disappeared in front of my eyes again with bated breath.
The Kukri was somewhat like a short-handled scythe, and Caterina reappeared behind the Faceless Warrior with the Kuk Knife, and the Faceless Warrior had already taken precautions, and turned sharply, the tentacle above her head that was like a plucking coil towards Katarina, leaving Caterina unavoidable.
In the midst of the crisis, Caterina forcibly twisted her waist in the air, leaning back and folding in half, barely able to dodge the sweep of the tentacles above the Faceless Warrior's head, and then unceremoniously swung the recurve knife in her hand, severing the tentacles above the Faceless's head.
The tentacles more than a meter long were severed by the Recurve Knife, and the Faceless Warrior let out a miserable wail, and the severed tentacles fell into the sea, leaving a huge wound on the top of their heads, gushing purple-black viscous blood.
Unexpectedly, even so, the Faceless warrior was still clinging to the hull of the ship, and the other two arm-like tentacles swept towards Caterina from both sides with great speed, and the movement was not affected in the slightest by the fact that the tentacle on the top of her head was cut off, but Caterina was caught off guard and was entangled by the huge tentacles.
The next moment, the two tentacles that were wrapped around her were also cut off with her recurve knife, but even so, the faceless warrior was still not dead, he struggled and writhed violently, quickly broke away from the side wall of the ship, and burrowed into the sea like an octopus, fleeing to the bottom of the sea.
Then, a large number of Faceless warriors poured in all around.
Standing at the bow of the boat, Karantso dropped the speargun in his hand, picked up his double-edged broadsword with his backhand, and jumped from the bow without hesitation.
Because she was so fast, I could only bless her with 'water walking'.
A huge tentacle came out of the side of the ship on the other side and wrapped around a sailor at once, the sailor screamed in fright, struggled hard, and slashed at the faceless warrior's arm with the scimitar in his hand, but unfortunately although several wounds were cut in a row, and the black and purple viscous blood splashed the sailor's face, but the tentacle became tighter and tighter, and the sailor opened his mouth to shout, but the bones of his body were broken in the next second.
The Minotaur Ruka hurried to the side of the ship with a big axe, and the phantom of the Minotaur ancestor appeared behind him, stretched out a big hand and grabbed the end of the tentacle, shook it hard, and the huge force made the tentacle immediately loosen, and the sailor fell on the deck, long since he lost his breath.
With a roar of rage, Ruka pulled the Faceless One who was clinging to the hull of the ship with only one hand, and slashed the Faceless Warrior directly with the other hand with the Moonblade Axe.
'Shun Chop'
Before the Faceling warrior could gain a foothold on the deck, his massive body was cleaved by Ruka's axe from head to tail.
