Chapter 424: Going to Sea (Part 1)
In the mage world, there is a sea separation between the northern continent and the southern continent.
The sea is extremely wide and unstable, with storms for most of the year, and even when the weather is nice, the sea seems calm, but there is still an extremely dangerous whirlpool undercurrent at the bottom of the sea, which sailors call 'the impenetrable endless abyss, the deep blue garden of the demon Bosiren'
Because of this sea, the information between the north and the south is almost isolated, and the only place of connection is on the Corsica Peninsula in the east.
The peninsula juts out of the northern continent like a bird's beak and stretches out all the way to the northernmost point of the southern continent at a distance of less than a thousand kilometers.
The natural geographical advantages have made this a place of exchange between the two continents, and of course, a place of conflict.
The reason for the conflict between the two sides is very simple, just two words: faith.
Sun Ran flew all the way with the help of the Great Flying Technique, and soon left the bounty behind him, and rushed to the port of Crete, the southernmost point of the Corsican Peninsula.
For now, he is safe.
Port.
"Hey, I want to go to the Southern Continent, a gold coin, can I take a ride with the wind?" Sun Ran found the captain of a large merchant ship that was about to set off for the Southern Continent.
The captain was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a sturdy body and bronzed skin, the most conspicuous feature of which was his hands, of which only one remained, and the other was replaced by an iron hook.
He looked Sun Ran up and down and asked, "What's your name?" He's a magician, isn't he? How many stars? ”
"Uh...... My name is Rod, two stars. Sun Ran said a pseudonym, and then reported the average of young people of his age.
"You're good enough. However, we need some less powerful magicians to help anticipate the weather at sea. If you're willing to help, I'll let you on my St. Margaret (ship name, not woman's name) for free. The captain said.
Predicting weather changes is nothing more than perceiving the flow of water and wind elements in the air and making predictions about the weather based on experience. This is an essential skill for a magician.
Sun Ran nodded and said, "Thanks to your kindness, I accept this job." ”
"Okay, let's get on board!" The captain waved his hand.
St. Margaret's is large, nearly a hundred meters long and nearly forty meters wide, and the bilge of the large ship is filled with a variety of goods that are special to the northern continent. At the same time, it is also a resting place for sailors, and the upper middle and upper decks of the cabin are passenger cabins, where many passengers like Sun Ran go to the Southern Continent.
After Sun Ran got on the ship, because of his status as a magician, he got a nice room on the upper deck of the cabin.
Familiar with the environment of the residence, Sun Ran was about to go to the deck to breathe, and was about to turn around, when suddenly a scorching stick that exuded magic fluctuations, oh no. It should have been the staff on the back of his heart, and at the same time, a sweet, crunchy, tactful voice came: "Oh, our great magician, can actually make people sneak attack." ”
Sun Ran was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head with a wry smile: "Luo Sina, you are really elusive." ”
It was none other than Zhao Shan. She wore a long black silk dress with a gray cloth hooded hood over it. The hat was pulled up, covering the eyes and most of the face, revealing only a round, delicate chin.
Seeing Sun Ran turn her head, Zhao Shan pulled down her cloak, her appearance became more and more beautiful, and she was much more feminine than before. She smiled a slightly sarcastically: "Great magician, I didn't expect you to be unable to control your lower body, and because of this, you were reduced to exile. ”
She must have said Helen's business, and it is estimated that this matter has spread throughout the entire northern continent, in short. Sun Ran has become infamous.
Seeing what he said, Sun Ran smiled awkwardly: "It's all a misunderstanding." That Helen, I haven't even touched my hand. ”
Zhao Shan didn't believe it at all: "Don't take me for a fool." If it's not true, will the Seth family be cheeky and spread everywhere? ”
"Okay, okay." Sun Ran spread his hands helplessly, too lazy to argue: "I just did it, are you satisfied now?" ”
"Not satisfied. You said that you were a person who desperately cast a forbidden spell for Queen Toria in the first step, and ran to Fort Esenin to be a flower thief in the next step, I really don't know what your mind thinks. Zhao Shan closed the door of the room and sat on the wooden bed with a huff.
"The world is unpredictable." Sun Ran also felt unjustly panicked and asked, "What about you, why did you come here?" ”
"When I heard the bounty, I expected you to go south. I've been waiting here for days, and then you did. Zhao Shan glanced at Sun Ran and began to transmit: "The situation in the southern continent is much more complicated than in the north, let me tell you about the situation, so that you will not be cheated." ”
Sun Ran smiled, sat next to Zhao Shan, stretched out his hand to put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Alas, it's still my sister's intimacy." ”
Zhao Shan turned his head to stare at Sun Ran's hand, and said coldly: "Be respectful and take your dirty hands away." ”
Sun Ran took his hand away in confusion and asked, "What kind of nerve are you sending now?" ”
"I despise you now, and I'm annoyed to see you. Now come over and tell me about the basic situation of the southern continent, and then I will disembark. Zhao Shan glanced at Sun Ran obliquely, and his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
"Oh, then you say."
"We'll talk about it later. Let's start with this ship, among the cargo in his bilge, there is an oil painting, which is said to hide the secret of King Solomon's treasure, and has been targeted. So the ship will not be peaceful on the way. ”
"What kind of treasure?"
"It's nothing more than money jewelry, can you fancy these things?" Zhao Shan asked.
"I can't afford it." Sun Ran shook his head, he lay down on the wooden bed, and said with a smile indifferently: "The injury in my body is no longer a big problem, if it is not peaceful, it will not be peaceful, I can always protect myself." ”
Zhao Shan was silent on the surface, but secretly transmitted: "You are confident." But I warn you that this sea is called the Endless Abyss for a reason. In addition to the endless number of pirates, there are also immensely large ancient beasts in the sea, more terrifying than dragons, which can be swallowed in one bite if they come across them. ”
"Then let's talk about it." Sun Ran lay motionless, completely unserious.
"That'll do. Let me tell you again about the specifics of the southern continent. Zhao Shan began to transmit the voice again. She has emotions for Sun Ran, but after all, things have to be explained.
"You say."
"Well, the official name of the southern continent is the continent of Olympus, in which there are countless city-states, each of which is an independent kingdom, and there is a magical guardian in the kingdom. These guardians are at least six-star mages, and great mages are not uncommon. In the south, there are not many great magicians of the younger generation, about three. However, the number of great magicians of the older generation is very large, more than twenty. Zhao Shan said.
"Awesome!" Sun Ran began to face it squarely, there are so many great magicians, then he should be careful in the Southern Continent.
"That's not the worst of it. Violet Council, remember? Zhao Shan asked.
"Of course."
"The Violet Council, in the north, is the predecessor of the Wizards' Federation, and in the south, it is the predecessor of the Sage's Tower. In the current tower of sages, there are three sages. All three of them are super VIPs, and they also have some talent. The game company took special care of them and opened up the eighth-level privileges for them, allowing them to be promoted to legendary mages and become the leader of the mages in the southern continent. And their game time hasn't come yet. ”
"It's good to be rich." Sun Ran could only sigh like this.
There are three legendary mages, and there are so many great magicians, which makes Sun Ran feel that the south is really dangerous, and it is not a star and a half stronger than the northern continent.
However, he still had questions: "Since it is so strong, why don't you attack the Northern Continent...... Oh, I see, they are still in the civil war? ”
"A small war in three days, a big war in five days, is the status quo of these federal states, but now the situation has begun to be different, and a powerful city-state called Sparta has appeared, which is supporting Zeus and is conquering the entire southern continent. Seven or eight out of ten city-states have succumbed. ”
"Oh, the gods are about to begin." Sun Ran sighed in the transmission.
"Well, that's the status quo in the Southern Continent. Hello do it yourself, I'm getting off the boat. After speaking, Zhao Shan stood up and was about to leave.
"Why don't we go and have fun together?" Sun Ran asked.
Zhao Shan was a little moved, but still a little hesitant, and directly said his thoughts: "It's good to just play, but you, a playboy, will definitely get into trouble if you go, I look bad." ”
She liked the tacit understanding with Sun Ran when she fought the enemy together, but she especially hated the appearance of other women around him, which made her hesitate.
"It's not easy. I just don't do that. The southern continent is dangerous, so you can rest assured that I will go alone? The so-called brother and sister work together, and its benefits are gold. Sun Ran said with a smile.
"Do you dare to swear?"
"Do oaths work?" Sun Ran asked rhetorically.
"Oh well. But as soon as you touch another woman, I'll confiscate your tools while you're sleeping. Zhao Shan threatened.
"What a vicious woman." Sun Ran sighed, then nodded: "Okay, I promised you." ”
So Zhao Shan, who was about to get off the ship, finally chose to stay on the ship.
"Lift anchor, set sail, sail!"
Soon after, the shouts of sailors were heard outside the ship, and the hull of the ship shook and slowly sailed out of the port of Crete.
After a while, a sailor knocked on the door: "Rod, Rod, the captain told you to go to the deck." ”
"Okay, I'm here."
"Aren't you a passenger? How did you get in touch with the captain again? Zhao Shan asked.
"I'm now a weather forecaster on a sea boat."
"Then they are so happy that they have found a great magician to do this. But it's fun, let's go together. (To be continued......)
