The boat, stopped. It wasn't because there was a harbor or land ahead, but the thick mist had turned into a substantial wall, blocking it in front of it. This was only visible above the water, and below the surface, the ghost water could no longer move forward with all its might, and there was some kind of resistance to the ship and its boatmen.

If the barrier before that was a precaution against ordinary people, the current scenario is a warning to the caster, those who can penetrate so deep into the barrier are either lucky or prepared, but either way, the barrier arrangers are telling them that it's still too late to turn back.

But now that you've come here, it's a sign of weakness to turn back, not to mention that for cheese, the more you bother to cover up something, the more important it is. The Grey Robe led his apprentice, making sure his vision was tied to his own, and they walked to the bow of the ship to look out at the water ahead.

The liquid was calm and not like it was in the river, it felt more like a pool of stagnant water, and nothing was reflected in the dark water, as if there was a bottomless pit below. Cheese looked down at the water, then at his apprentice, and asked softly, "Are you afraid?"

Yoni nodded, then quickly shook his head, his face twisted into a confused expression. In fact, what happened today was beyond the limits of the boy's imagination, so that at this time he became numb, and he had a strange feeling of what was happening in front of him.

Naturally, his confusion could not escape the eyes of the teacher, and cheese was to achieve this effect, and the biggest problem of the cultivated spellcasters in the mundane world was that the state of life had been fixed, and they were used to this world, so even if they mastered magic, they subconsciously only did addition and subtraction in the regular world.

"Remember that feeling, and when you can look at what you know and still be confused, you're not far from being on the right path. "Confusion is not all bad, and only when you feel confused can you have the desire to learn, and there is nothing that can destroy the desire for knowledge more than familiarity. A thing, it is incredible, as long as it appears in life as a matter of course, it will be ignored over time.

The caster must fight this inertia, they must jump out of their comfortable environment and place themselves in that strange, unsettling, bewildering world. It's a masochism, but it will pay off one day.

As for now, Cheese dragged his apprentice from the bow of the ship after whispering, and behind him was the exclamation of his companion. They were still looking for a way to keep the ship going, but no one expected these two men to jump like this.

However, the imaginary splash of water did not appear, and the sound of falling water could not be heard, and the gray figure and his apprentice in a cloak stood silently on the water, as if a road was formed by an invisible layer of transparent stone bricks below the water level. The gray robe turned his head to look at his companions, and did not speak, but the meaning was already obvious. If you are coming, follow it.

Luo Luo was the first to respond, not because she was the most courageous, but on the premise that she had already had a dislike for the mages in the City of Ten Thousand Laws, she had to ensure that she stayed with the gray robe, otherwise no one could say what would happen. But this team is composed of spellcasters after all, and each spellcaster has an unusually independent thinking logic and perspective, and they don't like to be influenced by people.

Therefore, the old man and Wei Ya watched the third person half-tentatively step on the water, and only after a short panic could stand firm before making his own decision. Surprisingly, the second responder was not the old man or the source.

"I thought you'd stay on board to look after your companion, he didn't look very well. There was no irony in the dancer's words this time, she was really a little surprised by Wei Ya's choice.

Although the duo of the City of Ten Thousand Laws does not feel like a couple, they have always been faintly led by Scar, so she thought that the female mage would choose to stay on the ship to take care of her superiors. For mages in the organization, this makes sense.

"Our purpose is to assist in the completion of the mission, and we cannot afford to abandon the main objective because of Ska Instructor's injury. Otherwise, his sacrifice will be in vain. ”

Compared to Lolo, Wei Ya jumped from the bow of the boat with a sleek and neat movement, as if she fully believed that the water under her feet could support her body. Even the female mage stepped on the water hard after landing, splashing a little wave.

"The magic of high concentration of condensation turns the surface of the water into a semi-condensed solid. Cheese said as he lit the breath of dawn on his belt, and the soft morning light found some comfort in such an eerie environment.

"The high concentration of water, which we call magic ice, can only be produced if the magic power per unit volume is higher than the Sphinx threshold, which I have never seen in the natural environment. Wei Ya quickly continued Cheese's words as she took off her gloves and leaned down to touch the water, a lightning-like filament of magical aura between the two before her fingers could touch the water.

I'm afraid that few people present can understand her words, even Cheese only understands eighty percent, as for the Sphinx threshold, he can only imagine it as some kind of concentration measurement unit. Personally, the Grey Robe does not approve or yearn for attempts to quantify magical phenomena, and in his view any environment with magical influences means a jumble of relationships, and attempts to list them in a human way are laborious and ineffective.

Of course, he also knew that what he felt was unwise did not mean that he was really unwise, and that it would work if reliable data had been obtained through a large number of experiments conducted by his predecessors.

Not to mention how Wei Ya analyzed the water on which they were standing, after her, Yuan also jumped down. The twins looked somewhat tired after the previous spell, even if the cheese had already given them the recovery potion he had configured, the mental fatigue would not disappear immediately. Now it's enough to make sure they still have the ability to cast spells and fight.

The old man with the pointed hat stood in the middle of the boat, staring at the men who had disembarked, his expression changing several times, and finally he made up his mind when Cheese had turned his head and began to move towards the depths of the water.

He took out a branch from his bosom, and with a slight flicker, he saw several branches sticking out of the branch, which just caught the crystal ball he had taken out earlier to form a standard staff. Immediately afterwards, the branch, which was the length of the forearm, spread out its trunk again, extending the length by nearly three times. It turned out that what the old man pulled out was not a branch at all, but a stick insect that was extremely huge compared to its kind, and those twigs were its legs!

Holding this living staff, the old man with the pointed hat took one last look at Scar, who was lying on the deck, and sighed and followed the people in front of him to get off the boat.

So in the midst of this thick fog, there was only a lone ship and the dying man on board whose chest was sunk.
