023: Tulip

Roch was lucky, the sailboat managed to spot him, and sailed towards him, a three-masted galleon, and when it came to it, it lowered the hanging ladder and came down two sailors.

At this moment, Roshi almost felt the urge to cry.

Then he followed the sailor to the deck, which by this time was already surrounded by a circle of people, who were obviously full of curiosity about the old man who was alone at sea.

"Don't hang around. ”

A calm shout rang out, and then a middle-aged man in his forties walked over, and judging from what he was wearing, Roshi should be the captain of the ship.

He wore a tricorne hat on his head, a brown-red kaftan jacket, a white button-down shirt underneath, two small beards, and an unsmiling face with a bit of majesty.

He looked at Roshi's dirty body for a moment, then turned his head to an old sailor and said, "Alf, clean it up for him, wash it and bring it to me." ”

Rohi was right, and when Alf bathed him later, Roshi learned that the mustachioed uncle was indeed the captain of the ship, named Dale.

After taking a shower, Captain Dale made some brief questioning to Roshi, who told a small lie, saying that he was from the Roman Islands, and that the ship he was on was unfortunately shipwrecked, and when he woke up, he was on an uninhabited island, and because he couldn't wait for a passing ship, he built a raft and drifted to try to return to the mainland.

After listening to his own account, Roshi saw that Captain Dale's eyes almost didn't pop out.

At this time, Luo Xi knew that he had actually drifted from the eastern sea to the southwest end of the Dragon Wing Continent near the Aegean Coast, and had circled the Dragon Wing Continent for a whole week!!

Captain Dale clearly thinks Roshi is old and confused.

After all, the navigation level of the Dragon Wing Continent is still at the level of the 17th century in Europe, and the best sailors on the continent do not dare to leave the coastline for more than 1,000 nautical miles, and it is obviously a fantasy to circumnavigate the continent with a raft.

After that, Roshi also got to know the sailboat.

It was a merchant ship from the kingdom of Bagmar in the south-central part of the continent, named the Tulip, which was employed by a noble knight.

Departing from the Ranchi harbour in the Kingdom of Bagma, you will travel along the Aegean coast to the southernmost tip of the mainland, acquiring spice-making plants along the way.

This is good news for Roshi, because the main area of activity of the Black Tower is in the northeast of the continent, and the possibility of encountering the Black Tower wizard in this area is very small.

Roch then took up his place on the sailing ship for the time being, as the nearest place where the wizards were to be found was off the shores of Relaine, which happened to be a port where the Tulip was going to dock on its return journey.

It's not easy to find wizards on the mainland, and the reason why Roshi knows about it is because the wizards of the Black Tower often travel and keep a record of their areas of activity.

There were still spare rooms on the Tulip, and after Roshi expressed his desire to hitchhike, Captain Dale considered it and agreed.

Captain Dale arranged a simple job for him, out of the care of Roshi's age, just cleaning and helping Alf Cook in the kitchen, Roshi accepted it without much thought, after all, he can't eat white food, right?

In addition to the captain, there were 17 sailors on board, as well as one passenger, and everyone was nice to get along with ... Well, except for one named Louis, who was the passenger on the ship.

This Louis was the knight's partner, and he also contributed to this voyage, and it is said that his ancestor was a knight's baron, but by the time it came to his generation, there was only one knighthood left, and the domain was recovered.

It is said that he is not easy to get along with mainly because he has the arrogance peculiar to the aristocracy, and always raises his chin in front of everyone on the ship, as if to show his superiority, but at the same time he cares more about everyone on the ship, and is even more serious than the captain when he works.

Overall, Rohi's life on the Tulip was quite pleasant, which made Roshi feel the long-lost human touch.

That afternoon, after finishing his work in the cargo hold, Roshi returned to his room early, with a long table in the center of the room.

Roshi closed the door, went to the table, opened a small cloth bag, and placed some of the plants the size of a fingernail on the table one by one, divided into three categories.

While cleaning the cargo hold, Roshi accidentally discovered that some of these plants could be used to prepare potions, although they were not high-end potions used by wizards, but they could help his knights' cultivation, so after obtaining the captain's consent, he collected some leftovers.

These three piles of plants are a kind of 'longan fruit' that resembles a grass fruit and is indeed horizontally corrugated, a 'tiger ti' that is very similar to a wolfberry but is several times larger, and a 'wolf claw grass' with five thick leaves, which resembles a wolf's paw as a whole.

After sorting them into categories, Roshi cast a spell and took out a long strip of black chalk from the spatial button, which was the 'Black Strip Stone' he had brought out of the Black Tower.

This is a special kind of ore that can conduct magic power, and wizards often use it to draw magic arrays, and magic arrays are one of the cores of wizards, experiments, material analysis, making witch tools, and configuring potions are inseparable from the support of magic arrays, and it is even as important as wizards' meditation.

What Gu Luoxi understands, the magic array has been divided into a series of levels by wizards, from low to high, divided into 0 to 9 rings, ten levels.

It is very difficult to draw a magic array, for two reasons, one is that the magic array must be concentrated in the process of drawing, cannot be interrupted, and pay attention to one go, which requires a firm memory of every detail of the magic array, even a line can not be wrong.

It's just that the magic array becomes more and more cumbersome the higher it goes, it is a second-level magic array, and the lines it needs to use are comparable to the portrait of the Mona Lisa, and it can be imagined how difficult it is to draw without comparing it with the textbook.

Another important factor that restricts the magic array is the magic power, every line outline of the magic array needs to be injected with magic power, if the magic power is not enough, there is no way to complete it.

That's why Luo Xi has been in the Black Tower for so long, and the wizard who is the most proficient in the magic array in the Black Tower can only draw the four-ring magic array.

Then, Luo Xi took out an A3-sized, translucent and slightly yellowed white paper from the space button, which was the 'magic oil paper', which was a universal material for drawing magic arrays.

The quality of the magic oil paper can affect the probability of success of the magic circle drawing, and some wizards will even use the skin of a newborn baby with a wizard's constitution.

The magic oil paper in Luo Xi's hand is made of the fur of a magical beast called 'sharphorn sheep', and it is only a middle and lower grade level in the magic oil paper.

Six Black Diamonds and 64 Magic Oil PaperThese are the last two items that Roshi brought out of the Black Tower, some of which were used up when he was on the isolated island, and there are still 4 Stones and 49 Magic Oil Paper left.

Spreading the rolled up magic oil paper on the table, Luo Xi held one end of the magic oil paper and began to draw the magic circle with concentration...
