Chapter 65: Crossing the Sea by Boat
The people who qualified to enter the sixth floor of the tower had already arrived, and Sivi announced to them that he was ready to sail across the sea.
"Meryl, are you going home?" I don't know if you're lucky or ......" This was the first of many apprentices in the tower to go home, and Charlotte didn't know whether to envy or not.
Whether it's Young, Charlotte, or Freya, they are all homeless now, and the Tower is their home, and they all have some reluctance to be attached to Meryl.
"I'm just leaving the Tower temporarily!I'll be back one day!" Meryl smiled faintly and hugged Charlotte and Freya goodbye, and shook hands with Young.
"We don't know anything about the world outside the island, so this trip was very necessary. Yang, you'll be in charge of everything while I'm gone!" Sylvie finished his assignment and led Meryl to the docks.
There are two small boats docked on the pier, only seven or eight meters long, with jet-black canopies, which are fishing boats on the island, and are not suitable for long-distance sailing.
But this was already the only means of transportation on the island, and Sivi was holding a magic wand in his left hand - this staff from Gatling was made of tighter material after zero processing, and the overall shortening of the material was twenty centimeters, and the speed of mana transmission was slightly increased, and she was holding Meryl in her right hand, and she was carrying a pink rabbit-shaped backpack on her back - this was processed from zero, as a parting gift for Meryl, which was very popular with her.
Sivi's own belongings are temporarily stored in space zero, and she is currently able to communicate with the astral boundary to open about one and a half cubic meters of space, which is now used as a space bag.
Arranged for Meryl to sit in the black canopy, and Sivi propped up a long penny, and knocked on the rocks on the shore, and the boat rippled in circles under the boat, and the boat slowly left the dock.
"Goodbye!" "Safe journey!" Amid the reluctant goodbyes of everyone on the dock, the boat grew farther and farther away, smaller and smaller, and gradually turned into a small black dot, never to be seen again.
Xiwei relied on zero to determine the direction, and zero determined the direction by observing the positions of the stars in the sky and the sun and the silver moon.
Xiwei blessed the whole ship with the "Wind Technique", the boat seemed to be lifted by the wind, extremely light, Xiwei's penny in the sea water, can fly far away, like a seagull swimming in the sea water.
Gradually, as we got farther and farther away from the island, the waves grew stronger, and the boat began to sway with the current.
"Don't be afraid! Sit tight and experience it!, maybe it will help you with your tidal meditation method!" Sivi's soft, firm voice passed through Uppon into the cabin, Meryl quickly took a deep breath, and then began to feel the tide and the waves.
Sivi stood quietly on the bow of the boat, the endless waves crashing from time to time, but they did not wet his clothes. Sivi has a secondary deflection field spell on the surface of his robes, but it requires about thirty standard mana charges per day.
Sivi was eager to learn how to make magical artifacts, but his progress was slow without guidance, and he was looking forward to meeting some magicians or buying some spell scrolls or something like that.
At night, the temperature drops, but it's the height of summer in July, and the cool atmosphere is much more comfortable for Sivi and Meryl. Zero opened the space, Sivi took out food and fresh water, and the two of them and a cat had a humble dinner in the cabin.
Lady Silvermoon's radiance spilled over the sea, and the entire awning boat and Sivi's body had a faint silver glow. Sivi slowly lowered to the left and began his routine meditation.
Zero was in control of the boat, and her magic became more and more powerful, and it was effortless to propel the small boat, which was extremely light under the effect of the "Wind Technique", and the boat flew hundreds of miles in one night under the light of Lady Silvermoon and the farewell of the waves.
The sky dawned again, Sivi woke up from his meditative state, he felt the overflow of magic, whether it was the tide ocean or the land of fire, he finally reached the edge of promotion again.
Try the "Protective Arrow" spell!
The most feared thing about a mage's fragile body is the off-string arrow, and the "Protective Arrow" spell can effectively restrain most of the arrows and protect the mage's safety.
At this time, Sivi also lost interest in boating across the sea, so he continued to hand over the task of rowing to Zero, and began to try the "Protective Arrow" spell again and again.
He had already analyzed this spell, and all he needed to do now was to experiment over and over again to grasp the key. These spells with a complete spell model are not difficult, and Sivi is confident that he will break through it immediately.
Sivi and Zero didn't notice that three ships were passing by on the sea glowing golden in the sun's rays.
"Hey, I've found a small boat! just a nautical mile away!" cried the lookout on the mast, and the crew, who had been lazy from the scorching summer sun, came alive.
They all had sturdy bodies, all of them with ruffian aura, more or less scars on the surface of their skin, and a tattoo of a wolf's head on the shoulder blade of their right arm.
"Oh, let me see!" a large man who was shirtless, visibly three laps stronger than the others, raised the monoculars on his chest and looked in the direction the lookout was pointing.
"A cat??a blonde boy?Isn't this a fishing boat??," the big man couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"What are we going to do?, Lord Blood Wolf!" the others hurriedly asked.
"What should I do, of course? Surely it's for some fun! Our great Captain Cook has long announced that he will blockade this sea, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave! Arrest him!" the big man, nicknamed "Blood Wolf", laughed.
The ship instantly reversed course, puffed up its sails, and began to pursue the boat.
"That ship is after us!" It didn't take long for the ship's movements to be noticed by Zero.
Sivi hurriedly stood up, the ship on the opposite side was very fast, and it was gradually approaching, and Sivi saw that the original flag was lowered on the opposite side and the black skull flag was raised.
"Pirate ship!" Sivi realized that he had been prey by the pirates, and he hurriedly swung his magic power and attached the breath of the wind element to the boat.
The boat was a little lighter again, and Sivi stood on the bow of the boat, holding up the penny with all his might, and the speed of the boat increased sharply, like an arrow from the string.
"You want to race with us!Raise the sails!Swing the oars!" The blood wolf shouted acutely as he sensed the boat's speed.
The sailboat raised its white sails, more than twenty sailors took their positions and shook their oars desperately, and the whole sailboat rushed quickly towards the small boat, which was exactly the death charge of the pirate ship.
"No, it can't be any faster!The boat is about to fall apart!" Zero reminded Xiwei that this Upong boat was just a fishing boat, and it was not so solid, and it was on the verge of falling apart after struggling to support it at such a crazy high speed.
If it weren't for Meryl in the cabin, Sivi would have had a way to escape, but now, there was only one battle.
Sivi stopped what he was doing and let the ship move forward at its normal speed, and he had already begun to prepare for battle.
"Haha! The other side has slowed down! I still want to race the speed of my 'Lightning', it's not enough to work!" The blood wolf shouted, "Get ready to board!" Take down that kid and see what secrets he has!
"Meryl, sit down, we're going to start fighting! You hide in the cabin, watch out for the arrows!" Sivi instructed Meryl and took out his magic wand and hid it behind his back.
The two ships were getting closer and closer, and soon, they didn't need a telescope to see each other's faces.
"Haha, boy, it's your misfortune to meet our 'hungry wolf of the sea'! Surrender quickly, and maybe spare your life!" shouted one of the minions.
Sivi remained silent, his tactic was to get closer.
Most of the low-level spells had a significant decrease in power after crossing too far away, so he didn't want to reveal his secret of being a mage right away.
And on the other side, in order to capture Xiwei alive, naturally they will not use bows and arrows.
The two ships were getting closer and closer, and the blood wolf stood at the edge of the deck, looking at Sivi condescendingly: "Boy, are you scared stupid? If you look closely, you look quite handsome? Send it to the slave market and sell it, maybe you can sell it for a good price!"
Sivi grinned at him, revealing two rows of white teeth.
The next moment, the silver-white light suddenly bounced up, shooting straight at the blood wolf!
At this time, the distance between the two was less than twenty meters, leaving the blood wolf with very little time to react!
The blood wolf's pupils contracted, and he had already reacted in a flash of light, and the big knife in his right hand was raised violently, blocking the silver beam head-on!
However, the silver beam easily passed through the blade face, only fainting slightly, and hit the blood wolf's exposed chest.
"Bang!" the blood wolf bent down with his left hand over his chest, he suffered a heavy blow, but he was far from the point of falling.
"Kill me!" the other pirates reacted quickly, and with a shout, everyone picked up their swords, and the two men with bows and arrows began to draw their bows and arrows.
Only then did Sivi reveal the magic wand that had been hidden behind him, and the huge arcane crystal at the top of the magic wand shone brightly!
"He's a magician!" screamed a minion!
"Sivi's Arcane Missile Storm!" Compared to the other ring spells, Sivi has more research on the spell engraved in his soul, the Arcane Missile, and this research has gone to a great depth.
He could now use his wand to cast five to ten arcane missiles at a time, each one diminished, but continuous, like a real storm.
A more appropriate scenario for Missile Storm is now, when facing a large group of enemies.
Bright silver light erupted from the tip of the magic wand like a machine gun, and the enhanced arcane missile was incredibly powerful at a distance of less than ten meters, and Sivi was the first to aim at the two archers.
"Poof"!
Two crisp sounds like iron rods inserting into tofu rang out, two lines of blood soared, and the two archers were shot through the throat almost simultaneously.
In the process of casting the spell this time, Sivi used the technique of precise casting, and the consumption of mana was also tripled, because the threat of the archers was too great.
"He doesn't know how to protect against arrows!His mage level is not high!Come on, give it to me!Magicians are all big guys!" What Xiwei didn't expect was that the seemingly reckless blood wolf turned out to be a shrewd person.
Sivi's attempt to deter the bandits' attacks did not work as intended, but instead fueled the pirates' greed. They were just going to have fun, but now they're really serious.
Sivi's Arcane Missile Storm raged across the deck of the pirate ship, and the near-endless storm knocked down one enemy after another, completely disrupting the pirate's formation.
However, it did not play a decisive role, although the pirates were wounded, but they protected their vital points well, and the blood flowing from the wounds only aroused their bestial nature.
At this time, the distance between the two ships was already less than five meters, and the impatient pirate jumped high and tried to board the ship to fight.
"Looks like we're going to use a killer weapon anyway!" Sylvie activated a processed Red Flame Crystal and tossed the jewel, worth hundreds of French gold coins, at the enemy.
"Boom!" a violent explosion rippled over the deck of the pirate ship, and despite the fire precautions, the explosion ignited the sails.
"What's the situation! The situation is unfavorable, get over quickly!" The two remaining ships in the original fleet found that the sails of the "Inazuma" had been ignited, and realized that the situation had changed, so they quickly turned around and leaned over.
