278 Five wizards
At night, a lamp is placed on the table, emitting a bright white glow that illuminates the entire cabin as bright as day.
Chen Yi sat at the table and was reading a book.
Next to her, Phyllis sat quietly, her eyes looking out the window, not knowing what she was thinking.
The sound of the waves came through the wooden walls. The tables and chairs shook from time to time, and there was a squeaky sound.
Bang bang!
There was a knock on the door outside.
"Come in." Chen Yi's eyes did not leave the book in his hand.
The door creaked open, and it was the apprentice named Andy who was also one of the admissions directors on this trip to the Taylor Continent.
Andy held a plate with a flattering smile on his face, "My lord, I brought some food for you to taste." ”
"Put it down." Chen Yi nodded and said.
Andy put his things down and exited the room.
"Eat, these foods are for you." Chen Yi glanced up and saw that there were fish, meat, and vegetables, which were sumptuous on the boat.
Phyllis didn't refuse, picked up the food, and ate it.
Once they got on board the Flying Eagle, they occupied the top floor of the cabin.
With the productivity conditions of this world, the conditions for ocean navigation are very difficult, and fortunately, there are wizards in this world. With the means of a wizard's apprentice, it is not difficult to get some water and save some fresh food.
Before he knew it, Chen Yi turned the book to the last page, and after reading it, he closed the book. Phyllis had finished her meal and was staring out the window at the dark sea.
"Do you know where this ship came from?" He asked casually.
Phyllis withdrew her gaze from the window, looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, "I read in a book that this ship must have been built more than two hundred years ago, and it caused a great sensation back then. ”
"Before the appearance of the Flying Giant Eagle, no ship had ever been able to pass through the Death Mist and reach the continent of Taylor. For thousands of years, the two continents have been separated by the Death Mist Zone. Everyone was curious about what the continent where characters like the Son of the Sun had appeared. ”
Chen Yi nodded, he was more interested in the matter of the Death Mist Zone, and he had specially found this content in the library of the wizard Dylan in the Tower of the White Moon.
"This ship is led by a chamber of commerce, but in fact, there are three major wizarding organizations behind it."
Chen Yi talked about this history, "Back then, Hedingseth wanted to conquer the West Coast Continent, in order to prevent other continents from interfering. A death fog area was laid out, encircling the entire West Coast continent. ”
The history he saw with Dylan was a little different from what had been handed down.
In the version he had heard before, the Death Mist Zone was set up by Heddingseth before his death to prevent the invasion of the Taylor continent.
In comparison, he prefers the version recorded in Dylan's collection.
"The Death Mist Zone is extremely dangerous, and even an official wizard will get lost in it. However, the Death Mist Zone is not immune to the erosion of time. Thousands of years have passed, and the energy of the Death Mist Zone has weakened considerably. ”
"And so, this ship appeared."
Chen Yi had some details that he didn't say. The main body of this ship is made from the corpse of an artificial beast comparable to that of a full-fledged wizard, the Asgar Eagle.
This monster is born with the ability to pass through labyrinths and locks, and no prohibition can trap it. It's a creature from another dimension, and it's very rare.
The three major wizarding organizations cost a great deal to build this ship.
Unfortunately, with this investment, several major organizations are destined to not be able to recoup their costs. The people of the West Coast Continent may never have imagined that the Taylor Continent, where a powerful existence like Hedingses once appeared, would decline to that extent. The wizarding civilization is almost cut off.
In the end, the "Flying Giant Eagle", which was created at great cost, can only be reused. Every few years, they are sent to the Taylor continent to pick up qualified young people.
Such a result may make the wizard who decided to build this ship vomit blood for it.
This ship is a magic weapon with a special effect. The last time Chen Yi took it, he didn't notice any difference between it and an ordinary boat.
This time he found out when he got on the boat. If he wanted to, he could easily control the core of the ship and take it for himself.
"Taylor, what is it like?"
Phyllis's face was filled with a hint of yearning.
She used to be the owner of the port of West Water and ran the port very well. She also had romantic imaginations about ocean voyages, but with her noble status, it was impossible to go to sea. Because it's too dangerous. Not to mention walking through the Death Mist Zone.
This trip is also to follow Chen Yi to realize this little dream.
Chen Yi said, "In addition to the difference in language, it is very similar to the West Coast Mainland, and the race and customs are also similar. Perhaps the biggest difference is that wizards are rarer. ”
Phyllis looked a little surprised, "You seem to be familiar with the Taylor Continent?" ”
"Well, I'll be over there, for a while." Chen Yi said, remembering all kinds of experiences in the Tailuo Continent, and he felt like yesterday.
When Phyllis heard him admit it herself, a strange look flashed in her eyes, as if she wanted to say something, but she held back and changed the topic again, "How dangerous is it in the Death Mist Zone?" ”
Hearing this question, Chen Yi's eyes couldn't help but stare at him.
Phyllis waited for a few seconds, didn't hear his answer, couldn't help but raise her head, and saw a trace of solemnity on his face, and her heart couldn't help but froze.
"I'm afraid there will be some twists and turns on this trip." Chen Yi spoke, "When the time comes, you have to follow me closely." Don't get too far away. ”
Phyllis didn't ask much, just nodded slightly.
Chen Yi looked out the window, in the darkness, he could faintly see the calm sea, but underneath, he didn't know what kind of waves were hidden.
With this ship specially designed to cross the Death Fog Zone, it stands to reason that there will be no danger.
However, when he got on the ship, with his outstanding spiritual sense, he sensed that there were two powerful beings on the ship. Even though the other party hid the magic fluctuations, he could still tell that it was a powerhouse of the same level as him, an official wizard.
On the ship to the Taylor continent, there are actually two official wizards, no matter what their purpose is, it means that this trip, I'm afraid it won't be very peaceful.
In the afternoon, he sensed two official wizards boarding the ship again.
In other words, including him, there were actually five official wizards gathered in this small ship.
He knew he might be involved in something.
