"Your Royal Highness, is it really good to do this?" A middle-aged man dressed in a royal offering mage robe asked the girl in front of him with trepidation.

It is easily recognizable from the insignia on the mage robe and the delicate patterns, which are unique to the Illian Empire.

They were now standing on the deck of a wooden ship that looked like it belonged to the Carrak of Earth, which was very common in the Age of Discovery, such as the St. Mary's that Columbus used to circumnavigate the world.

At this time, the huge sailing ship was not sailing on the sea, but floating in mid-air, and there were ripples of magic under the hull of the ship. Although it is gorgeous, in fact, this magical ripple can also cause the wind elements around it to act as a protective barrier while refracting light, thus making the huge ship invisible and undetectable to the naked eye.

The Oak Heart they're on is the Grand Magician Sharon? Lange & Söhne's pride is that it has a stealth effect that is not possible with ordinary magic ships, and the hull is reinforced in many ways, so it is said that even crossbow-level explosive arrows cannot hurt it. The only fly in the ointment is that in order to maintain the effect of invisibility, a lot of mana must be invested in those special armors, and the reinforcement of the hull has increased the weight of the original hull a lot, and the consumption of mana has to be increased to maintain the ability to float, which makes the mana drawn by the mana guide circle on the ship from the flare crystal as fuel seem a little stretched.

Of course, compared to the safety improvement brought by these measures, a small flaw is acceptable.

"After all, that information is not certain. Maybe it was deliberately released by the barbarians of the Evil Church of Necessity, and instead of risking being targeted by them, why don't you wait until Lord Sharon arrives to go with you? ”

The man tried to dissuade the girl, but the girl decisively refused.

"There's no time to wait leisurely now. Our neighbors have not been very safe lately, and the teacher has to keep an eye on the orcs in the Angola Mountains, and he will not be able to return for a short time. Evangeline pulled her wind-lifted hair back to her ears, her eyes still fixed on the floating islands that began to appear in the distance, "And if that news is correct." Then we may be able to obtain some unpredictable and valuable information. ”

"The orcs didn't take advantage of the spring harvest, so it's normal to have a little commotion, right?" The male mage asked a little puzzled, and then he muttered in a low voice, "Say it again." That one is called Sivi? Is Edric's guy really worthy of Her Highness the Princess? Lately, the wizarding world seems to think he's just a liar......"

Previously, because of Sivi's early warning, many magicians and some armies received news and orders from the second-level alert.

But as time passed, not only did the vampires that Sivi had spoken of not react. Rather, it was the sudden emergence of the necessary evil that caused riots in various countries.

This made many mages who were busy in vain feel dissatisfied, and even bred 'That guy named Sivi just relied on alarmism to cheat Merlin's medal!' Such a statement. Moreover, the supporters of this statement still occupy a large number, and if it were not for Lady Sharon's strong dissent, I am afraid that the Mage Council would have considered reclaiming Sivi's second-class Merlin Medal.

"Don't worry." A slight smile appeared on Evangeline's face: "Whether that gentleman is a liar or a hero, time will tell." ”

On the other side, in Sivi's academy castle, Franconia was burying his head in his experiments when suddenly, with a pop, the elwarf Woda appeared beside him. …,

"Undead, we need your help!" Leprechaun tried not to look at the mosaic pile on Francon's test bench. Righteously said to Franken.

Normally, leprechauns would not come to Francon's room...... In fact, these little ones are unexpectedly taboo about the undead, except for Voda, even if they meet on the road on weekdays, they will hold their cheeks with their hands and scream and teleport away.

Franconia had been in this situation several times in a row.

And to run to his room like this, it was clear that something important had happened that made Voda let go of his prejudices.

"What's wrong?" Franconian screwed the screws on his head as he clicked. He asked the leprechaun in an interested tone.

His tone doesn't seem to be something that can be controlled at will, but has something to do with the angle of the screws or the number of turns.

However, this kind of thing is obviously not within the scope of the leprechaun's research, and after keeping a certain distance from Francon, he said: "There is a magic ship approaching this side at a very fast speed, and if the other party has malicious intentions, it can only trouble you to repel it." ”

The leprechaun was a little lacking in confidence, and after being attacked by the swift falcon, it had already realized the weakness of the leprechauns in battle. Even though they wield a lot of magic, they use very little to kill people. In addition, the little leprechauns are relatively timid by nature, even if there are many little leprechauns, they will definitely only scatter as birds and beasts when they encounter danger and will not stand up, and it is also because they are timid, so few people have seen the little leprechauns so far......

That's why when a stranger approaches, the leprechaun is the first thing he thinks of asking for help.

Sivi is not at home now, and there is no way to notify him at short notice, so there is no way to ask for help; One of the two falcons was still making trouble, and had not eaten any feed until this day, and was dying of hunger, while the other only listened to Sivi, and the others ignored them, and there was no way to go to them for help; And the only person left on the island is Francon.

And Franken is not easy to speak, but at least the dialogue can be established.

Hearing the leprechaun say this, Francony threw away the scalpel in his left hand, and the knife fell to the metal surface that he had made himself, and the metal top resembling the operating table made a crisp clang, and the expression on his face turned into a dull look with the twisting of his right hand, and even the stitching marks were twisted crookedly......

"So you didn't come to dissect me......," Franken expressed his disappointment.

"Of course not!" The leprechaun Woda replied with a huff, and the two big ears like bat wings began to tremble with excitement. It looks funny: "What about your answer?" Would you like to help protect the island? ”

"I wouldn't be upset if my master came back and found that the castle had been overrun by strange fellows." Francony gritted his teeth and made a crisp clicking sound - because he had been working on the skeleton for a long time, this guy seemed to use this action instead of smacking: "So although I am reluctant, I guess I have to help now." ”

Just as Franconian and Voda had temporarily reached an offensive and defensive alliance, the Oak Heart, which Evangeline was riding, finally docked.

Well, it's not so much the shore as the whole ship crashing into the protective barrier - after the Vein Furnace and Mana Pool have been built. Protect the source of the enchantment's magic.

Although the current academy's protective enchantment is still only LV1 in terms of level, because there is a continuous supply of mana from the mana pool, unless the opponent's attack directly exceeds the upper limit of the enchantment's defense. Otherwise, no matter how dense the attack is, it won't be a problem for the enchantment. …,

Fortunately, the magic ship had already begun to slow down when it approached the empty island, so hitting the protective barrier only smashed the corners of the bow of the ship, turning it into a wooden fiber the thickness of many chopsticks hanging down the bow like a dried noodle. And because of the impact, the ship's invisibility was invalidated.

"It's a double barrier of illusion and protection." The crew member in charge of the lookout said with a bitter face, the protective barrier was hidden under the illusion barrier, so it was difficult to detect its magic fluctuations.

It's just that in fact, neither of them is very hidden, as long as you try your best to perceive it, you can still detect the clues, but as a lookout, he didn't think of a barren (illusion enchantment effect) and a huge area of the sky island would be shrouded in this kind of defense - you must know that even the Julian National Academy of Magic can't afford to use a protective barrier 24 hours a day. You can only use the Vigilance Enchantment, which consumes relatively little, and the Eye of Sauron, which is usually dormant and consumes almost no mana.

But it didn't matter what the reason was, but in this way, because of his own negligence, the Oak Heart was damaged to such an extent, and he would definitely be punished after being known to Lady Sharon......

Evangeline also knew how hard that guy would be trained by her teacher, so instead of continuing to rub salt on his wounds, she rubbed her head, which was a little dizzy from the impact. Looking at the tragic situation on the bow of the ship not far away, he asked the male mage, who was also a little dizzy, "Do you still think that person is just a waste of fame?" ”

"Forehead......" The male mage was speechless.

Indeed, the person who can set up such a huge magical enchantment will not be just weak no matter how you think about it.

"The others are put aside beforehand, and I'm going to shout. Use your wind elemental magic to amplify my voice. ”

Seeing the embarrassment of the other party, Evangeline didn't ask questions, and directly took over the topic: "Other people who have nothing to do, go and search around to see if there are any idle people, etc., and let them leave this neighborhood, since Mr. Edrick has chosen to live in seclusion here." I shouldn't want my identity to be exposed. ”

"Understood." The male mage also knew that this was the step that Her Royal Highness the princess specially gave him, so he followed her words and began to release a magic that could amplify the sound.

In the castle, Voda and Franconia were looking through the glass at the magic ship that had manifested its prototype due to the failure of invisibility, when Voda suddenly pointed at Princess Evanterine standing on the bow of the ship and exclaimed.

"Ah, that man!"

"What's the matter, do you want to kill it?" Franken's two prosthetic eyes stared at Her Royal Highness the princess of Julian at the same time: "The strength is very weak, as long as it is not a freak like the master, it shouldn't be difficult to solve it." ”

"No, that person seems to know the master!" Woda remembered that she had been piloting the magic ship when she was on her way to the Illian Academy of Magic with Sivi, and that the girl was on her side at the time, and she seemed to be very familiar with Sivi. So he went on to add: "And the relationship should be pretty good. ”

"Oh, could it be that the master's old lover came to arrest him!" Franconia unexpectedly showed a hint of interest in Sivi's gossip.

Instead of refuting Franconian this time, Voda unexpectedly gossiped with him about Sivi: "Very likely! There are always girls around the master! Then its ears drooped. In a very distressed voice, he asked, "But what should we do at such a time?" ”

"Let her in! …… Although I meant to say that," Franken Krakatara screwed, his voice a little regretful, "but I haven't opened the enchantment yet." Do you have a little one? ”…,

"Don't call me a little bit!" Woda first retorted, and then shook his head to show that he was the same as him: "I don't have either, and no one seems to have this permission except for the master." ”

"Then we'll have to wait."

"Hmmm......"

-- An hour later --

It was getting late, and when Sivi sighed, 'I've been so busy lately,' she accompanied the vampire princess and the Chamber of Commerce bunny girl after an afternoon of strolling around Golovitto. Only then did he sit on the swift falcon and return to the empty island.

However, when he arrived at the Sky Island, he unexpectedly found a somewhat familiar magic ship moored next to the Sky Island - and the bow of the ship was rotten in large pieces.

It seems that the academy that has begun to take shape has already come to visit.

It's just that this individual seems to have eaten a closed door......

The appearance of the swift falcon made the people on the magic ship a little nervous. When they found that there were still people sitting on the tasseled falcon, the tension was even more solemn. In this world, the higher the level of the crusade, the more difficult it is to change hands, and often one person subdues the high-level monsters. But there is no way to transfer it to others to make a profit, because powerful monsters will not listen to those who are weaker than themselves.

Although the level of the crusade is not particularly high, it is also more than level 10, and those who serve as this kind of monster rider in the army are at least demon swordsmen above the second turn, and the strength of the two after matching each other is not as simple as one plus one equals two.

In a one-on-one situation, a high-level magician can easily defeat a third-turn demon swordsman, and also has a great chance of winning against a fourth-turn demon swordsman, and against monsters, he can challenge monsters with a crusade level of about 20 alone. However, there have been cases where a second-turn demon swordsman rode a level 14 royal vulture and relied on some tactics to defeat a high-level mage. This shows how powerful the knight and the mount can play when they cooperate with each other.

Fortunately, Evangeline immediately recognized that it was Sivi who was sitting on the back of the Tasseled Falcon, and Sivi also recognized the somewhat miserable-looking ship as the Oak Heart that she had ridden, which avoided a possible conflict.

"Although I knew that you would find out sooner or later that I wasn't dead, I didn't expect it to be so soon."

After making a hole in the protective barrier, Sivi walked into the Sky Island with Evangeline and the male mage from the Oak Heart.

It's not that Sivi can't open enough passages for the Oak Heart. However, it is necessary to guard against people, and it is much better to let a large number of magicians on the other side stay on the ship and moor outside, than to let them drive a magic ship with unknown combat effectiveness to spin around on their own ground.

"Our intelligence work is actually not that good, but I happened to be nearby recently, and then I received some information that seemed to be about you, so I came to take a look." Evangeline looked at the magnificent castle with admiration. and a natural and ingenious courtyard.

Because of the relationship between the illusion barrier, it is nothing more than a barren appearance from the outside, and once you enter the barrier, the scenery in the entire field of vision instantly becomes beautiful, and the visual impact caused by this huge contrast is much greater than directly seeing the real appearance of the empty island.

Sivi didn't bother with what kind of information she had received, because apart from killing the Flame Doberman in the Celestial Arena before, Sivi hadn't been in the limelight at all......

Besides, as long as he doesn't leak secrets, it doesn't matter if the news that he is still alive is known to the royal family, but he can still learn some information about the current situation in the Eastern Plains from the other party.

Although Golovitto's news is not closed, Sivi doesn't know where to ask for it, and Alina's side is because the girl herself is busy with various affairs and doesn't know much about the current situation, so it's useless to ask. …,

So the arrival of Evangeline this time is also a good thing for him, and maybe he can deduce a little useful information from the current situation for his own planning.

"Speaking of which, won't the one behind you introduce me to me?" Although the middle-aged male mage walked at the back, Xiwei still didn't forget him, and asked Evangeline.

"This is Andrew, my escort on this trip, and the new royal enshrined mage, who was promoted to a high-level genius magician at the age of forty? Mr. Terra. ”

Evangeline generously introduced to Sivi.

At the same time, the middle-aged male mage also performed a common mage ritual to Xiwei.

Sivi fiddled with his peaked wizard hat and looked at the prominent 'Andrew? Green's words, sighed secretly, and also returned a mage salute to the other party, and then continued to lead the way towards the castle.

Although I don't know why the other party wants to hide his real surname, since he doesn't have K in his name, he shouldn't be a vampire spy. Although it may be some political problems between countries, Sivi has no interest in mixing in this aspect at all. Of course, the necessary vigilance is still indispensable, and if there is a chance, Sivi will not mind revealing this problem to Evangeline.

Although he doesn't like this scheming princess very much, but the bad guy is also Tio's half-sister, so it doesn't matter if he takes care of it a little more...... (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
