Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Skull Banner

Carlin didn't understand what Captain Lygouli really meant, and at the same time didn't take it to heart!

He went straight back to his room and fell asleep.

After surviving the fish-man crisis, the Advancer's life at sea has returned to peace...... The crew continued with their daily routines, Carlin still spent all the time on the ship studying and training, and Nathanos was still pestering him...... Captain Lyguli smiled apologetically when he saw Carlin, and although the memory of that night was a little unclear, he vaguely remembered what he seemed to have done.

Almost, another week passed.

"It's close to Howling Fjord!" Nathanos played with his longbow as he explained to Carlin, "Look at the flocks of migratory birds in the sky, you can only see them less than 100 nautical miles from land!" ”

Carlin looked up and saw a flock of geese flying through the sky.

"Mr. Carlin, would you like a change of flavor for today's lunch?" Nathanos said mysteriously.

"A change of taste?" Carlin hadn't understood what he meant.

The young man had drawn his longbow and an arrow sliced through the sky, while a wild goose fell to the water not far from the Advancer.

"Well, my archery skills are not bad!" Nathanos said proudly, then jumped into the water.

However, to his surprise, he did not fall directly into the water, but floated in the air little by little, slowly falling...... Carlin waved his staff on the deck, the one-ring spell spell "Slow Fall", a very simple but practical spell that he had learned in the past few days.

"Thank you, Mr. Mage!" After a brief moment of surprise, Nathanos understood who had made him like this.

Controlling his direction, Nathanos floated down to the spot where the geese had fallen and picked up the geese floating on the water.

"Can you take me up? Mr. Mage? He didn't bother to swim back, and shouted directly towards the boat.

"Okay, look at it!" Carlin smiled and raised his staff again.

A slight force suddenly dragged Nathanos up from the water, and he felt like he could now float in the air...... The two-ring spell spell "Levitation" is a very complex spell, and Carlin has spent a lot of energy on it during this time.

Little by little, Nathanos floated back to the deck, and the geese were left behind by him, but he didn't seem to have had enough......

"Master Mage, can you send me to the sky, I haven't had the experience of flying yet!" He said with some excitement.

"Okay...... I'll try......" Carlin smiled and nodded, raising his staff again.

Nasa Northston felt a powerful force rise from under his feet, propelling him into the air in one fell swoop.

"Ah...... Yes...... Ah......" let out a burst of exclamation from the longbowman, who was already flying higher than the mast!

Nathanos's exclamation also immediately attracted the attention of the crew, and many of the crew members stepped out of the cabin to laugh at Nathanos, who was helpless in the air.

"Mr. Carlin, let me down...... Quick, put me down, I'm in a hurry! Suddenly, the shouts of Nathanos were heard in the sky.

"Mr. Mage, don't let him come down, let this kid Nathanos make a good fool of himself!" Buck, the usually taciturn musketeer, smiled at this time.

"No...... Mr. Carlin, let him down! Captain Lyguli came over and said with some strange words, "From what I know about Nathanos, he said so, maybe there is something urgent?" ”

Carlin nodded, waved his staff, and the longbowman slowly landed on the deck.

Getting off the deck, Nathanos shouted at Captain Leggouli with a nervous expression, "Captain...... Captain, there is a ship in the distance...... Skull Banner ...... Drove towards us! ”

"What?" Captain Lygul's face changed: "Take my binoculars!" ”

……

"All crew, take up arms, ready for battle!"

There was a panic on the deck, and all the crew went to the deck, and they all carried all kinds of weapons.

Without a telescope, Carlin could see the black pirate ship in the distance, with a flag flying on its mast - the Skull Flag.

"Sure enough, it's a pirate, and it's a notorious North Sea pirate!" Captain Lyguli's face was very solemn.

"We've had surprisingly good luck this time, we're both a fish-man and a pirate!" Musketeer Buck said as he wiped down his beloved cannon.

"The North Sea Pirates are the most vicious of the many pirates that operate around Northrend!" Nathanos explained to Karin, "Some of the other pirates only intercept ships and pick up goods, and generally don't kill them all...... And the pirates of the North Sea, it seems, have never heard of anyone falling into their hands, and they can still survive! ”

As he spoke, Nathanos placed all the arrows at his feet, ready for battle.

The sobs of several female crew members could be faintly heard in their ears, and they seemed to have imagined the tragic end of falling into the hands of pirates.

Karin took a deep breath, then drank a vial of "Weak Troll Blood Elixir" before raising his staff...... This may be his first actual battle since becoming a mage, and he doesn't want it to be the last!
