Volume 1 The Lonely Arcane Road 031 Harvest

Smack!

With a loud bang, the cracked partition suddenly collapsed outward, revealing a girl in a milky white mage robe behind the wall, her raised legs slowly lowered, her skirt flying, the corners of the girl's mouth slightly curved, and a beautiful smile was raised.

However, when people's eyes were drawn to the girl, an astonishing wave of energy erupted from her side.

The Superior Deadwood Staff's equipment skill "Mana Storm" was activated, and a stream of pure magic energy gushed out from the staff, spreading up Charlie's arm like electricity, rushing like a tide, and they were all the mana stocks in the Deadwood Staff......

An indistinguishable murmur lingered in the air.

Charlie's hand condensed a thick orange-red firelight, and its scorching temperature could be felt from a distance of several meters, and in the blink of an eye, golden fireballs flew out of Charlie's fingertips, one after another, endlessly......

Qianxue subconsciously covered her mouth, Charlie only asked her to use magic to kick open the wooden wall, and did not tell her the real tactical details, and the role of the other three was only to release various magic protective shields to protect the safety of the five, and they did not know Charlie's true intentions.

Thundered......

The sound of explosions was continuous, and under Charlie's control, more than a dozen fireballs enveloped most of the area under the stage, covering the area bombardment, and the irascible flame elements exploded in the dense space, impacting each other, superimposing each other, setting off a monstrous storm of flames, any object where the fireballs landed was torn to pieces in the violent explosion, and the coke and molten iron juice splashed in all directions, and a violent shock wave erupted outward.

At this time, the Costa brothers had already pressed the demobilized Charlie and Chiyuki to the ground, clinging to the damp floor, and they could still feel the scorching breath of the sky-high fire waves, no less than a small volcanic eruption.

I don't know when, the sky silently drizzled, hitting people's faces, cold and silky.

Colin got up and couldn't help but look down.

The raging heat gradually subsided, and dark red flames could be seen everywhere, silently, and only one color remained in the middle of the entire deck, different shades of black, and the original steel plate was melting, and under the drizzle, it made a sizzling sound.

Charlie was lying on the floor, his side face was covered with mud marks, and he was unable to clean it up, a strong sense of emptiness filled his heart, and his body was empty in an instant, every part was out of his control, and he was so tired that even breathing was a burden.

The assault was not all without a price, there was a sharp pain in his left arm, and at the moment when the first round of fireballs came out of his hand, several pirates reacted and fired a series of crossbow arrows with their backhands, but fortunately the magic shield blocked several deadly arrows, and after the shield broke, a cold arrow pierced his arm, leaving a penetrating wound.

A wave of fireball rain of fierce bombardment, a strong reversal of the situation on the battlefield, if the teacher is smart enough, he should take the opportunity to take over the entire battlefield, otherwise, they will face the revenge of the remaining pirates, lose Charlie's support, I don't know what the consequences will be.

Sure enough, Charlie heard the roar coming from the bow of the ship, and thought to himself that the guard teacher had finally seized the opportunity to launch a full-scale counterattack.

Charlie's mood was relieved, and an unprecedented tiredness hit his heart, and his heavy eyelids stuck together like magnets.

......

I don't know how long it took, when his body gradually regained consciousness, Charlie felt himself lying on the bed, faintly heard a few breathing sounds in the room, the person had just woken up from the coma, and felt a little sluggish, the pain in his left arm disappeared, replaced by a tingling itch.

Charlie opened his eyes and saw Mr. Eevee sitting on the edge of the bed, holding his arms and pretending to sleep.

"Charlie is awake!" a cry of joy broke the silence in the room.

Qianxue's pretty face appeared in Charlie's field of vision, which made Charlie feel a little warm.

A group of people gathered up, but they were stopped outside the circle by Teacher Ibu, "People have just woken up, give him a little space to recover his strength." ”

Charlie sat up with support, only to realize that his left hand could already be forced, he looked down to check the arm wrapped in the strap, and said in surprise: "Such a serious injury is healed?!"

"Yes, it's a credit to Keane, the magician. ”

So, the captain has returned to the ship.

Charlie asked, "How's it going?"

David couldn't help but say, "We set off last night, and now we're out of the St. Croix Islands, don't worry! ”

Qing Tong silently walked to the window, pushed open the window on the right, and exposed the scenery outside the window to Charlie's gaze, which was a deep blue, clean and pure.

"Everyone else is alright, right?"

Colin smiled: "Charlie, don't worry, we are in the best condition, intact, thanks to your efforts to turn the tide, otherwise, our fate is similar to those dead students."

Looking back now, I'm really ashamed, usually, my brothers and I have always longed for a real battle, but suddenly faced a real battlefield, only to find that we don't know anything, even the spells are stumbling, it's a shame to say it. ”

Faced with this question, Teacher Ibu's face was sad, implying a little anger, "In the face of the night attack of the pirates, several of our teachers actually let them kill 28 apprentices, and the damage of the entire ship exceeded thirty percent, almost destroying the alchemy circle at the core of the ship.

So, Charlie, you are the last fig leaf of our ship, if you hadn't led the students to break through the encirclement and change the situation of the entire battle by yourself, I am afraid that we would have become the laughing stock of the entire Arcane Ring, and the situation would have become even more serious, and maybe all of us would be buried in this sea!"

Charlie asked, "Who are these people, and for what purpose?"

Eevee-sensei took a deep breath and replied, "Planck's statement is that they are savage pirates roaming the periphery of the island chain, and they do not fall under his jurisdiction. ”

"Liar!" Qian Xue couldn't help but scold: "This is his territory, how can something happen that he can't control?!"

"The problem is that we have no evidence, all the pirates on board are dead, and the ship has escaped without a trace, in fact, even if we find some evidence, the Pirate King will not be able to admit it, and the Academy does not want him to admit it. ”

Colin couldn't help but ask, "What does this mean, is the academy afraid of the Pirate King's forces?"

Ibu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not that we're afraid, it's that we can't do anything about him, in fact, the top forces in the mainland are helpless against him, which is why the St. Croix Islands are a haven for the wicked."

Because, it is located in the middle of the stormy ocean, and the ocean wind and waves are their natural barrier.

As far as the Arcane Ring is concerned, although we have mastered the transoceanic technology, we have not solved the problem of the cost of large ships crossing the ocean, and if we start a war rashly, the loss of logistics alone will put a heavy burden on the Arcane Ring, and the Council will definitely not pass the decision of war.

This is the problem that the entire continent is currently facing, otherwise, someone would have wanted to clean up that scum a long time ago!

However, sending a small number of elites to assassinate him may not be able to help him, unless the Nine Magic Supremes of the Arcane Ring make a move, and the Nine Dharma Masters are transcendent, how can they be entangled in such a small trivial matter?!"

All the apprentices bowed their heads in understanding.

"As for the Academy, it doesn't want the Pirate King to admit this, because it doesn't want to make itself passive. As you all know, the people of the Arcane Ring are a bunch of geniuses and freaks, both apprentices and teachers, who have always had a kind of arrogance and unruliness, which is a problem that has been cultivated over the years.

If the matter is completely exposed, how can these people endure such humiliation, it will inevitably trigger a wave of main war thoughts, but now the high-level is not ready to start a war with the Pirate King, because the gains outweigh the losses.

If this trend of thought cannot be controlled, and the management delays in launching a war, it will lose face in front of the middle and lower class teachers and students, and further lose its control over public opinion, which is a dilemma. ”

After listening to Mr. Yibu's explanation, they have a relatively clear understanding of the current situation, but no matter how you look at it, they feel that the situation is very embarrassing.

As he spoke, Eevee smiled bitterly, "However, this is something you don't need to worry about, it's not something you should worry about. The captain will take all the responsibility, and he asked me to express my gratitude to you for saving Chiyuki and saving him from a promise. ”

Charlie said modestly: "There's no need to be polite, in fact, it is also a self-rescue, and it can achieve such a miraculous effect because the teacher attracted the main force of the pirates, and we happened to seize the opportunity of a surprise attack."

Personally, I don't think the captain should be held responsible, because no one can predict a storm in the ocean, let alone a sudden pirate attack."

Eevee sighed, "That's true, but tragedy has already happened, and Captain Stephen may be half the responsibility, so he will lose his job, and his next situation will be more tormented." ”

As for the fate of Captain Stephen, there is nothing they can do about it.

Eevee patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Anyway, it's all over, Charlie, congratulations, wait for the academy's reward!"

Charlie was curious: "And the reward?"

"Yes, didn't I say it? You're the last fig leaf for this mission, and the hospital might cover the accident from a different angle, and they'll cover up the nature of the accident with the glow of personal heroism, so your reward should be good. ”

"Oh! queer!" Colin was the first to applaud.

Qing Tong was curious: "Teacher, what kind of reward might it be?"

Ibu thought for a while and said: "I don't dare to guarantee the material rewards, the standard is difficult to set, what the academy is willing to give, you don't necessarily want, and what you want, the academy may not be willing to give."

As for the other rewards, according to the usual thinking in the past, I think it is very likely that Charlie will be given an exceptional qualification for admission, in other words, you may get a place as an official student of the Arcane Ring, just like everyone else. ”

David slammed the table and said, "Just wait for this day! Brother, we can finally study together!"

Qianxue asked: "What kind of reward is this? Brother Charlie can not qualify as a formal cadet by virtue of his own ability?"

Eevee smiled and explained: "That's still quite difficult, after all, Charlie is old, you should know that there are a group of old people in the academy, they are very stubborn, without this credit, Charlie wants to impress them with talent alone, I feel it is difficult."

It's not that I underestimate Charlie, this is a bad habit of the academy, you will feel it in the future, the hero is judged by age, the younger the apprentice, the more attention is paid by the teacher.

Besides, Qianxue, don't underestimate this official quota, it can be speculated on the black market for tens of millions of gold coins, and money may not be able to buy it. ”

Charlie's smile bloomed: "It's indeed a very good reward! I hope the teacher's guess is true!"
