Chapter 279: Arrival at Ephes
Su Ye quickly picked out the more important bronze spells, Sickness Resistance, Enchantment, Keen Eye, Elemental Addition, Elemental Trap, Elemental Shield, Poison Resistance, Rock Shield, Rock Arms, Rock Armor, Earthquake Impact, Stone Wall, Trap, Swamp, Quicksand, Flame Eruption, Sound Transmission, Wind Walking, Healing Wounds, Mastery of Water, Water Walking, Underwater Breathing, Frost Flying Liquid, and Vines.
24 magic array diagrams, even if they don't stop for a moment, it will take at least 6 hours. This is still Su Ye's strong portrayal ability, and if he prepares in advance, ordinary bronze mages don't want to depict a complete magic array in half an hour.
After carving the twelfth magic array, Su Ye felt tired and left the magic tower.
The cabin shook violently
Su Ye hurriedly leaned against the wall and staggered open the hatch.
The weather was gray, the rain was dripping, the waves were undulating, the white waves were lapping against the hull, and the strong wind was whistling in the ears.
The deck was wet, like a layer of oil.
The sailors outside breathed a sigh of relief, squinted their eyes, and said loudly in the wind: "Your Excellency Su Ye, it's fortunate that you come out now, otherwise we might have gone in to remind you." ”
"There's a big storm?" Su Ye swayed and grabbed the door panel.
"Yes, and it's huge. The golden mage flew into the air to observe, and it is said that it stretched for hundreds of miles, lasted for many days, and could not be avoided, so he had to abandon his journey to Miletus and divert to Ephes. ”
"Okay, I got it. I don't know as much about navigation as you do, if you need it, call me me, I'm already a bronze magician. You don't have to stay here anymore, go about your business, and remember to let me know if there's something important. Su Ye said loudly.
"Yes!" Sailors walk quickly on the undulating deck.
Su Ye found a rope in the cabin and tied it around his waist, and then slowly walked to the side of the boat to observe the distance.
The black clouds in the southeast pressed on the top, as if the sea beasts were surging in the sky.
To the northeast where the Sea Dragon was heading, the sky was clear.
"It's a pity ......"
The Sea Dragon was originally going to the first magical city on the eastern coast of the Aegean Sea "Miletus", which is the birthplace of "Thales", the father of philosophy, the father of Greek magic and the king of water, and the city with the most magicians in Greece, even more than Athens.
Not only Thales, the king of water, lived there, but even Pythagoras, the king of geometry, and most of Pythagoras' Greek disciples gathered in Miletus.
In Miletus, there is also the exclusive magic tower of Heraclitus, the Lord of Fire.
Even with Socrates and Plato in Athens, the number and strength of the magicians were inferior to Miletus. However, Athens grew faster.
Miletus was also one of the cities that the Persian Empire was reluctant to attack, and the two sides signed a peace treaty.
The current direction of the Sea Dragon is Efes, a city on the eastern shore of the Aegean Sea second only to Miletus in terms of prosperity.
This is the hometown of Heraclitus, the Lord of Fire, but he has not returned for many years.
Su Ye still remembered the information about Efes City that he had just read a few days ago, there were still many magicians here many years ago, but the Lord of Fire left Efes to travel the world and never returned, and the magicians in the whole city gradually withered away, and were completely dominated by warriors.
Early the next morning, the Sea Dragon arrived at the port of Efes.
Captain Belk first euphemistically stated that Plato's Academy's order was to send Su Ye to the first city on the eastern shore of the Aegean Sea, and then lead the entire crew to bid farewell to Su Ye.
Su Ye smiled on the surface, scolded those teachers who were not human beings in his heart, waved to the entire crew of the Sea Dragon, and walked to the dock.
Su Ye looked around.
The faint smell of seawater suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a strong smell of rotting fish and shrimp.
The clear waves rattled against the wharf of splinters of wood and garbage.
The dense ships gently undulated with the waves, making a slight crashing sound.
On the docks, there are mountains of cargo everywhere.
On the road between the cargo rooms, the ground is covered with dirty water, and people come and go, and there is a crackling sound.
Merchants in Persian attire are pointing at each other and yelling at people in Egyptian attire.
A young man with a basket of fish slipped and fell to the ground, and the basket full of fish jumped out and crackled on the ground, and it was silver.
"Puff ......" the sailor who fell into the sea drunkenly cursed.
An Egyptian with a whip stares at the slaves carrying pottery, whipping them every now and then to remind them.
Even though the faces of the Persian women who had just disembarked were covered by scarves, it was still visible that they were disgraced, carrying their skirts and shouting to avoid the sweaty porters.
A group of Norsemen in leather clothes went on a rampage, their leather armor covered in dirt, armed with giant axes and sledgehammers, and the people nearby took refuge.
A young nobleman covered in gold ornaments pinched his nose, held the arm of his servant, and walked on tiptoe as if he were in a swamp.
The sounds of shouting, yelling, fighting, bargaining, children's cries, the clashing of objects, etc., are intertwined into a chaotic world.
Su Ye watched quietly.
The marina here and the marina in Athens are two worlds entirely.
The docks of Athens were well managed with horse-drawn carriages, aided by various magic props, and various transport tools.
But here, there are no magic-related tools, there are dock workers everywhere carrying things, and there are piles of goods everywhere, and there is a strong fishy stench.
"Hey...... Hey......"
A dozen shirtless porters dragged the rope, the other end of which was tied to a large pile of wooden boxes, and underneath the wooden boxes, several workers were constantly placing logs in front and several workers were constantly retrieving logs from behind.
Su Ye looked at this primitive way of handling and shook his head slightly.
"The ancient Greece of the blue star, probably to this extent......"
Compared with the Lion Harbor in Athens, everything here seems to have an extra layer of hazy dust, covering the goods, covering the ships, covering the clothes, covering the eyes.
Su Ye took a step, and suddenly found that an unkempt person glanced at him, the person had a cloth around his waist, which looked dirtier than a rag that had not been washed for three years, his whole body was dirty, and his eyes were shining.
The two looked at each other, and the man hurriedly avoided it, carrying a wooden box on his shoulder.
Subsequently, Su Ye found that the eyes of many people swept over him.
Su Ye was alarmed, forgetting that this was a dock or the edge of the city, when this was a dangerous jungle.
Su Ye immediately used the summon apprentice servant and the summon black iron minion to summon the three flame goblins and the king's sledgehammer.
On the Sea Dragon not far away, the people who were observing Su Ye nodded slightly, turned around and left the side of the ship, each busy with his own.
The people nearby immediately showed surprise, and looked at Su Ye with more respect.
However, there are still people's eyes on Su Ye's hands, Di Aotian's hands, and Wang Dafei's crown.
Su Ye stood on the ground and did not move, but immediately used the magic solidification ability obtained from the sacrifice to magically solidify the bronze spell "Rock Armor".
The surface of the skin swelled with a hot sensation, like a pepper, and like a flame passing by.
Su Ye's expression remained unchanged, and after a few seconds, the hot feeling disappeared and was replaced by a cool feeling.
The right hand gently touched the skin on the back of the left hand, and instead of feeling rough, it became smoother, as if the skin was firmer.
The color of the skin is slightly darker, almost negligible, and the blood vessels are not as clear as before.
Su Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the rock armor was originally the most powerful protective spell of the bronze rank, and after the evolution of magic, it was like a layer of quartzite armor, and its defensive power comprehensively surpassed that of the silver spell, and it was close to the golden spell......
Su Ye was thinking about it, when he saw three flame goblins suddenly knelt down on their legs and kowtowed vigorously.
Wang Da Hammer also turned over and got off the sheep and half-knelt on the ground.
"Twitter-goo!"
"Praise to your great majesty, and thank you for giving me eternal strength."
Four pairs of eyes, four times of gratitude.
"You also have the effect of solidifying the rock armor on you?" Su Ye stared at the four servants carefully.
"Twitter-goo!" The three flame goblins nodded desperately.
"Yes, Great Majesty!" Wang Dazhui was extremely excited.
"Baa ......," the black goat bleated and nodded.
Su Ye couldn't help but look at the black demon sheep with a smile, and it also had the effect of magic solidification on its body.
His own subordinates seem to be a little strong.
Subsequently, a very serious problem was discovered.
Su Ye stared at Wang Dazhui.
"Can I beat the king sledgehammer now? The king sledgehammer is also a miraculous servant, and my talent is in him...... Forget it, I don't want to do so much, I'll talk about it later. Now the most important thing is to find a hotel and learn all the magic. ”
Su Ye tapped the index finger and thumb of his right hand twice, raised his head with his chest straight, and walked into the crowd with an expressionless face.
At noon the next day, Su Ye and his servants left the "Big Oak" inn and went to the largest slave market in the city.
After a day's hard work, Su Ye had mastered all 38 basic bronze spells, and yesterday spent a silver peacock to gain an in-depth understanding of the city from the bartender on the first floor of the inn.
When he didn't understand, Su Ye didn't want to stay here, and after understanding, Su Ye decided to leave today!
The city is too dangerous!
In other words, the entire city on the eastern shore of the Aegean Sea is very dangerous, and the magical city of Mili is no better.
Su Ye simply made a safety ranking, and was stunned to find that it was the safest to find a cave in the wilderness and a cat, followed by the big cities of the Persian Empire, Milidu could only rank third, and as for this Efes City, it was almost ranked outside the hundred.
The only problem with going to Persia, though, is that you may not be able to come back.
The slave market in Efes was more orderly than the docks, but the smell was more unpleasant.
It is made up of rows of ebony wooden houses, the small ones can only accommodate a few people, and the large ones can accommodate hundreds of people.
Although the docks were chaotic, there was a light in everyone's eyes, a spiritual light.
There is no spirituality and no light in the eyes of the slaves here.
Here, there are all sorts of slaves.
The dwarven slaves sat on the ground like wooden mounds, their faces as if they were cast of iron.
Human female ** subordinates habitually shake their bodies, constantly scratching their heads and posing, only when people are close, a faint will to survive appears in their eyes.
The human males stood loosely, with wooden shackles and blank eyes.
