Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Mirror Labyrinth of Panic

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Inspect the whole ship, leave no dead ends, everyone organizes activities, and all cabins, regardless of size, are checked, I don't want to hear about the destruction of important nautical instruments and the fact that the criminals cannot be found afterwards. (Please search, update the fastest fiction website!)"

This categorical statement naturally came from Luo Zhengdao's mouth, although there are many difficulties for strongmen, as subordinates, they have no position to question the order, so they can only passively accept it. In any case, when a ship sails on the vast sea, the will of the individual captain is the will of the entire crew, and this is a matter of principle that cannot be violated. Even if everyone thinks that the captain is wrong, or that he is incompetent, then he must first vote to remove him from the position of captain, otherwise, the orders given by the captain must be carried out, which is the unwritten rule that the sailors at sea abide by, and if they indulge everyone to talk to themselves, and in the end no one will listen to anyone, that is death!

At this time, Faure Chopin said to Luo Zhengdao seriously:

"Yes, Lord Count, I promise to complete the mission."

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao was speechless, raised his hand and patted the one-eyed dragon Fuer's shoulder, and then walked out of the conference room alone, this may be his final statement!

Whether it's so busy that you hit the back of your head, or you live a leisurely life, sleeping until three o'clock every day, time is always passing bit by bit. The sight of the pirate ship Glory sailing in the dimly lit sea like a lonely ghost ship sailing through the empty and dead world makes people shudder at the sight of the sight.

"Your Excellency, the sea is starting to fog."

Hearing the boatswain's reminder, wearing a dark gray woolen military coat produced by the Elven Federation, Luo Zhengdao, who was patrolling the deck, nodded when he heard the sound, and then became vigilant. Sea fog is a potential threat to sailing ships, especially in such low-light waters, and if you accidentally hit a rocky reef, it is not a joke that the ship will be wrecked and killed.

Glancing at the darker sea that was becoming more and more difficult to distinguish, Luo Zhengdao spoke:

"Zola, you're familiar with the situation in the Sea of Darkness, is this kind of fog common?"

In the darkness, Zola Hegel, who could only see the whites of his eyes and teeth, was silent for a moment, and replied:

"No, Your Excellency, Captain. There is so little light in the Sea of Darkness that it is difficult to accumulate enough heat to form fog, which is a very rare thing, and I have only seen it once before. ”

Listen to the strings and know the elegance! Luo Zhengdao understood what the boatswain meant as soon as he heard it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he narrowed his eyes and said:

"Oh, that means the source of this fog is suspicious!"

Bowing his head and pondering for a moment, Luo Zhengdao raised his voice and said:

"Send someone to inform the two mage advisors to come and see me."

It sounds more like a joke when a pirate leader has to raise a mage, as pirates are known to be very poor, otherwise they wouldn't have to risk their fortunes. In the new world, mages can be said to be the top of the rich class, and the two should be two different things.

Magic, or arcane, is a discipline that studies the truth of things, and in a way, magic and science are like two sides of the same coin. It is nothing more than putting forward a set of hypotheses, trying to explain how the laws that support the world work and how they interact with each other with a theoretical framework, and finally looking for those hidden behind the laws that are so deep that they are invisible, or using these hypotheses to guide technical research at the practical level, so as to prove whether the previously proposed hypotheses are really feasible through the practice in the real world.

Just as in the idiom of the blind man touching the elephant, the blind people who have different opinions have learned from the experience gained by touching the elephant's legs, the elephant's body, and the elephant's ears, and so on, and the conclusion that the elephant should only have legs or a body is obviously ridiculous and generous.

In essence, the mages of the New World are the same thing as the scientists of the Old World, who have an undying passion for the study of laws and truths, and do not hesitate to devote their whole lives and all their bodies and minds to the relentless search for truth. Those who join this for the sake of strength and power, money, and women are just impostors who are doomed to not be good mages or scientists, because they have gone in the wrong direction from the beginning.

The existence of Luo Zhengdao, the pirate count, undoubtedly destroys the people's perception of social order in the new world, and he is both a pirate and an aristocrat, thus leading to a series of seemingly funny and strange phenomena.

In the new world where magic is king, mages have always enjoyed a reputation as polymaths, and a person who can become a mage must be a knowledgeable and wise man, and the reverse is not necessarily true. The study of the natural sciences by the mages was in no way inferior to that of the scientists of their time, the naturalists of the New World. At the same time, the mages have mastered the extraordinary power of the arcane arts, allowing them to believe in their imaginations while testing the validity of hypotheses on their own. Thus, following the ancient and unwritten tradition, the human nobility of the New World would hire one or more mages as advisors, whether it was to guide farming, breeding, industry, or even to form armies and command wars, the mages had a considerable reserve of knowledge and practical experience.

Something like the pirate recruiting a mage is shocking to say, and I understand the cause and effect, behind the seemingly unbelievable behavior, Luo Zhengdao is just looking for the right person to consult the situation in the way that nobles usually solve.

Soon, two elderly men wearing mage robes appeared in front of Luo Zhengdao, and the two of them bowed and said:

"Your Excellency, you have summoned us, what is the matter?"

In the previous battles, the two advisors, Jeff Bass and Atlan Scatter, have not been involved, one of the reasons is that they serve as advisors rather than professional fighters, and secondly, they are not high in mage level, limited by actual combat experience, and lackluster in terms of personal combat power. It is precisely because they feel that they are almost hopeless in the field of arcane research that they choose to rely on the knowledge they have accumulated over the years to make a living, and at the same time, they can also make an emotional investment in the potential stock of Luo Zhengdao, in exchange for the opportunity for their relatives to be cared for in the future, and to fund themselves to follow up on more research projects.

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao politely returned the salute and said:

"I'm sorry to disturb the rest of the two advisors, and I want you to analyze the cause of these fogs."

"Okay, we need some time to investigate, please wait."

Luo Zhengdao nodded and said:

"No problem, please give me the answer as much as possible, this matter is very important."

The celestial globe in the captain's room has been confirmed to have been manipulated by the mysterious woman Asha, and it is self-defeating to continue to navigate with it, and the guiding signs need to be used in conjunction with the celestial globe to ensure that nothing goes wrong. At present, if you want to repair this strange thing, you have to refer to the constellation projection to correct whether the initial orientation is accurate, and now the biggest problem is sailing in a dark cloud-covered ghost place like the Sea of Darkness, if you want to see the stars, it is obviously a widow's dead son, and there is no hope. The ship's navigational instruments failed, and the fog obscured its vision, and the Youngway inevitably fell into a dangerous state of scarrage.

Although this high-performance pirate ship has sufficient supplies and a large number of emergency reserves in Luo Zhengdao's space bag, it will be no problem to support it in the short term, and it will not cause a tragedy of cannibalism, but this situation with a bleak future still makes the sailors uneasy.

It is in the nature of pirates not to fear powerful foes, and to take risks for the sake of wealth and honor, but to allow themselves to be at the mercy of such a fog of natural forces cannot help but have a deep sense of fear that makes one fall into the abyss. At present, Luo Zhengdao can still calm the scene by relying on his aristocratic status and endless powerful means, and no one has publicly stood up to question his leadership, but the nervous and nervous aura that permeates the ship is so strong that you can smell it with your nose. If the situation continues to drag on, Luo Zhengdao will also find it tricky to deal with, in the final analysis, this kind of thing to appease people's hearts is much more difficult than fighting with a real enemy with real swords and guns.

Thankfully, new changes soon followed, and the sailors' attention was diverted. Even if the situation is not changing for the better, for Luo Zhengdao, whether the situation is good or bad, it is better than dragging it out indefinitely!

"Lord Earl, the results of the analysis you want are out......"

The two old mage advisors who had been in the cabin for many days ran to ask Luo Zhengdao for credit, and they only saw indifference and silence on the young face that still had a little childishness, Luo Zhengdao raised his hand and pointed to the outside of the ship, sighed and said:

"No, I see the answer."

The two old mages turned their heads, and their eyes froze together, and it was a long time before the white-bearded Jeff Bass spoke:

"This ...... Is it an illusion? ”

On the route of the battleship Yangwei, the deep and unpredictable Aether Sea was no longer visible, and there was only a battlefield of six places full of corpses on all sides, countless soldiers and broken weapons who fought to the death filled the field of vision, and crows and vultures hovered over the blood-stained black and red land, as if shrouded in the breath of death, and the legendary purgatory was nothing more than that.

The spiritual power of the arcanist is far above that of ordinary people, and even the extremely visually striking picture can only make the two old mages lose their minds for a moment, and soon the two of them regained their calm state of thought, and talked to each other and said:

"Have we fallen into the abyss or hell?"

"Unlike, according to the analysis of the concentration of mana particles in the air, we definitely did not fall into the lower plane, and should still be within the main material realm."

After some exchanges, the two mage advisors proposed a new proposal for Luo Zhengdao, saying:

"Lord Earl, according to our estimates and observations, there are no signs of time and space shifting, and according to the analysis of various numbers, it is most likely that the Majesty will continue to rotate in place, and these terrible scenes are all illusions created by some powerful force."

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but smile bitterly and said:

"Some kind of power? You're trying to say that creating such a wide-area illusion of delicate dΓΉ is something that only the gods can do! ”
