Chapter 15: Set sail
If so, add another member to the adventure team that has undergone personnel changes.
The addition of Bellinglis fills the void left by Gloridon's retirement, and although her theoretically qualified thief skills are somewhat unreassuring with her reckless personality, Urs is willing to give her time to hone it, as Gloleiden did at the beginning, as everyone has explained, this little girl needs the opportunity and process to grow up and fill in her immaturity one by one.
Of course, there is no perfect thing in the so-called world - after the young man agreed to take the little girl out on an adventure, he also asked the little girl some personal questions about her by the way, and then laughed and cried to learn that the little girl's school of magic is the illusion that the dwarf is naturally good at, but the opposite school she chose is actually ...... Uh, plastic energy.
Yes, plastic energy......
He said in his heart that the ice spear, lightning basin, and those elemental energy spells are indeed easy to mislead magic apprentices about the overall perception of the spell system, but little girl, you don't have to take another extreme path in reverse, right?
You must know that giving up the plastic energy system is basically equivalent to giving up most of the magic output abilities in the early stage of the mage profession, and you can't even throw out the basic and practical magic missiles in the 1-ring spell......
The young man touched his forehead, a little nerve-wracking, secretly thinking that it was obviously not a wise choice to exchange the price of the opposing Plastic Energy School for the reward of the Specialized Illusion School, at least it could not be said to be a good choice to maximize the value.
It's just that the essence of the magic guide technician is to use simple and easy-to-control low-ring spells to create a variety of practical and powerful "black technology" items, and generally speaking, it does not rely too much on the spellcasting ability of middle and high-level mages.
And then for the next while, the little dwarf girl with two golden ponytails did not forget to ask Gloleden if he was doing lately, and if the old thief had come out of the shadows of eight years ago.
The reason why Gloleiden has not recommended the little girl to everyone until now is not only because of his departure factor, but also because he was the only one in the Thorn Adventure Group who escaped alive from the shadow ruins of Russ Canyon, and that kind of experience made the old man unable to get over a hurdle in his heart, and felt that he had no face to look for the dwarf girl again, until the team killed the shadow dragon in the depths of the ruins with him to help him complete his revenge.
Bellelis's father, a dwarf illusionist named Melhoth, had died in the shadows eight years earlier, and her mother was said to have died even earlier from her illness, resulting in the little girl living alone in the alley house for the last eight years. The ruffians around her have troubled her, but they are often tricked enough by the little girl's traps and magic illusions, and over time she knows that the little girl who seems to be easy to bully is actually not easy to bully at all.
The old thief briefly explained the background of the little girl's story to the rest of the team. Urs faced Bellinglith's question, and after thinking about it, he gave up the white lie, and chose to tell the little girl directly about the old man's retirement due to injury, and the good thing that the old man had now completed his revenge.
Bellingis's lively side confirms her optimism. The dwarf girl's extreme optimism contrasts sharply with Dorothy's pessimism, and neither the death of her parents nor the news of the old thief's regrettable retirement seem unacceptable to her.
She said that the meaning of the existence of facts is to make people accept, whether it is good or bad, otherwise the guy who escapes the truth is like a gluttonous ghost who throws away a spoon and is reluctant to put his hand into the jar to dig out honey.
Strange analogy...... But the reason is easy to understand.
I don't know if this philosophy was told to her by her illusionist father, or if she had read it from some book or realized it herself.
Urs nodded in agreement, and secretly sighed in his heart that the little guy's heart was several times more mature than her reckless character, so that he could save himself a lot of worry for her.
Among the members of the team, the most worried member at the moment is still Dorothy.
The red-haired Miss Warlock stood in a corner of the room with her head bowed, her ears clearly hearing the little girl's opinion, as if she was thinking of something, and shook her head with a sigh......
After that, the seven-member adventure team rested for two days at the local hotel in Casey Harbor, and when a large ship finally docked in Casey Harbor two days later, the group took their equipment and belongings and chatted all the way to the dock area of Casey Harbor Town.
The docklands of Casey Harbor are undoubtedly the liveliest part of this harbor town, day or night, after all, the greatest significance of this place is to help the Twilight City, built in the interior of the eastern plain of Okazawa, to open up a commercial route between land and sea, and the coastal road can reach the Holm region of the political hinterland of the Golden Bird Empire to the east, the border of Arranster a little south, and even further south, to the distant elven homeland of the Far South Forest.
If you go to the west, the bards on the continent rumor that the sea west of Okazawa has no end and that the endless ocean stretches all the way to the boundary of the main matter plane, but there are also some who insist that Castano's main matter plane is a circulating sphere, and that the end of the sea leads to the Far East, and that high-level spellcasters who have the ability to travel the plane must be able to witness this in the astral plane.
Urs and his friends from the previous game traveled to the Astral Plane on an event mission called "Xenolandscapes" on a magical flying ship of the Giesseres. That journey was a bit hurried in the young man's memory, because the team of players he was in at the time was tasked with escorting a group of Outlander peoples who had been displaced to the main material plane to a place called Seal City as soon as possible.
About the magic ship of the Gis Sere and the rumored Seal City as the center of the multiverse...... Well, the topic is not far away.
All in all, Urs knew that the western end of the sea did connect the mainland coastline of the Far East, but there was a section of the sea that had to be filled with huge waves, tsunamis, and lightning storms all year round, and it was best for any ordinary ship not to try to pass through it, even the sea creatures under the water had to instinctively choose to avoid that area.
Luckily, the team didn't have to go so far and dangerously on this trip - the group was targeting an island called Misty Island, which had been marked on a parchment map to the southwest of the Okazawa region, and Victor had already told everyone about that island in advance, so that everyone knew that there was another independent city on the east coast of the island that kept news with Twilight all year round.
When the big ship named "Sword Sail" finally sailed into the harbor as scheduled, the crowd gathered in the dock area of Casey Harbor suddenly boiled like boiling water in a hot pot - after all, the Sword Sail was not a merchant ship carrying cargo, such a heroic name belonged only to a fully armed expedition warship, as the private ship of Victor, the lord of Twilight City, to explore the uncharted waters around Emerald Bay!
Naturally, the seething crowd is the freelance adventurers who have bought their tickets - unlike the "mercenary" adventurers who have settled in the Twilight City under the standardized management of the Adventurers' Guild, these true freelance adventurers are not bound by the established rules, and have a strong spirit of exploration and treasure hunting ambitions.
The Sword Sails' next voyage will pass through the Misty Isles.
The dragon vein mage city lord had already prepared a group ticket with an anti-counterfeiting enchantment mark for the people of the Thorn Squad in advance. Walking through the crowded crowd, Urs and Stonefist had to use their bodies to clear the way for the team, the shorter Koto was overwhelmed by the dense crowd, Xia and Dorothy were not too squeezed by the "protection" of the male team members, and Jay Sparrow and Bellinglith also kept an eye on whether some unclean hands took advantage of the chaos to touch everyone's wallets.
This process took about ten minutes......
After more than ten minutes, no one in the team was dispersed by the crowd, and everyone boarded the ship intact.
After a while, the ship Yang Fan left the port and set sail......
