Chapter 175: Embarkation
In December, a strange large ship was moored at the pier of Port Emerald.
Unlike all the sailing ships on the docks, this one has a larger, more streamlined hull, and most notably, the upper part of the ship is covered in unknown animal leather, so that the whole ship looks like a giant chrysalis.
It goes without saying that this ship is from the Magic Continent. Magical ships like this come to the major ports of Middle-earth every few months, and in addition to transporting goods, they also have another task, which is to bring in genius mages from Middle-earth.
Near the bow of the ship stood two robed mages, who would ask a few words to each of the young mages who boarded the ship.
Far away from the boat, there was a crowd of people who had come to see them off, most of whom were the parents and teachers of those who had traveled south.
Sitting on the second floor of the restaurant facing the pier, Donner looked at the scene in front of him and felt both ridiculous and cruel.
"It's pathetic...... You see those ushers are still laughing, how can they laugh......" Rick sighed.
Donner let out a long sigh and said helplessly, "Get ready, we should go too." ”
"I've already drunk the forbidden potion, and I'm left with those ...... Can you not do it...... It's disgusting......" the girl hesitated.
"No! This potion only works for two days, and no one knows what will happen on board, maybe someone will check it regularly. I've inquired, the magic ship will be gone for about thirty days, plus when you first arrive in the Magic Continent, maybe there will be a waiting time. That's why I asked Moen to prepare so much. Donner said.
"That'...... Can you not ......?"
"Gotta swallow it, God knows if they'll check their belongings, I'll do it first, it's convenient, you ......see," he said, Donner put a small medicine bag in his mouth, took another sip of water, and opened his mouth to indicate that he had swallowed it.
"It's nothing to swallow...... But when he came out......"
"Come out, except for taking a dose every two days, wash the rest and swallow it, eat more vegetables and less meat during this time, it won't stink. ”
"Huh......" Reicor made a disgusted expression and asked, "What if it breaks in the stomach?"
"Don't worry, the swim bladder of the irontooth fish is not even afraid of sour wormwood juice, and it will not break. Donner patiently explained.
"Okay...... Rekor took the sachets from Donner's hand with a bitter face, and swallowed them one by one.
"When we get there, we'll be separated for a while, remember what I said?"
"Well, if there is no danger, I will wait for you to come to me, and in case of danger, I will flee to the elven territory and wait for you. ”
"Yes, your half-elf identity will be very sensitive, and it will be difficult to hide in human society, so don't mess around. ”
"Then you must come to me!"
"I'll come to you! Okay, now I'll go first, and you'll make sure I'm okay before I come back." ”
Rick nodded.
......
"Name?"
"Bruce Wayne. ”
"Kaios?" The gray-robed mage who spoke glanced at Donner, his eyes a little suspicious.
"Oh no, my lord, I'm from Doron, I've only been in Kaios for more than a year, and my father is a ...... of Doron"
"Duolong, first-level mid-level ......" The gray-robed mage interrupted Donner's answer with a wave of his hand, and the expression on his face returned to normal, most of the doubts just now came from Donner's accent.
Donner guessed well, the other party didn't ask his magic level at all, and wrote it down directly, which showed that the gray-robed mage in front of him was at least a fifth-level mage, or far higher than the fifth-level.
If it weren't for the forbidden magic potion that lowered his magic level to the first intermediate level, in order to get close to the strength of the Blue Bird Mage, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of the other party.
"How old?"
"Twenty, sir. ”
"I don't think you're only twenty......
“...... Looks a little anxious......" Donner smiled in feigned embarrassment as he handed over two orange magic crystals, he hadn't recovered his appearance yet, and he really didn't look like he was only twenty.
The gray-robed mage took the orange crystal, his expression was a little disdainful, but he still put it in his pocket: "Go in, your room is number forty-four." ”
Donner cursed in his heart, but he still maintained a respectful smile on his face, and his guess was once again confirmed that the so-called age limit of twenty years old is actually not strict.
Forty-four, which is really not an auspicious number, he walked into the cabin and shook his head.
The cabin is divided into three parts, the largest area in the middle is for loading, but all the cargo is packed in a huge wooden box, and on both sides of the cabin, the bow and stern are the living quarters.
When Donner was hesitating where he should go, the gray-robed mage just now poked his head in and yelled, "What are you doing standing stupidly?"
"My lord, where is it?"
"Over there, stern!"
The gray-robed mage watched Donna run towards the stern of the ship before exiting the cabin and muttering in a low voice to the white-robed mage beside him, "Waves are getting stupider than waves." ”
The white-robed mage seemed to be a little more cautious than he was, and replied with a smile in Ventes, "Where do you guess this will go?"
"Magic Factory. ”
"I don't think so, this kid is quite clever, and he knows how to bribe you......"
"Hmph! Two orange crystals, send the food. ”
"Haha, maybe this is already his entire net worth, besides, if he gives you a bag of amethyst, do you dare to accept it?"
The gray-robed mage finally stopped talking, still maintaining a disgusted expression.
Donner made his way to the stern of the ship and followed the order to Room Forty-Four.
The room was small and there was nothing but a bed.
He put aside the suitcase he was carrying with him and lay on his back on the bed, his heart empty.
The suitcase contained only symbolic clothes and a small bag of orange crystals, and according to Donner's guess, at most, after a month, the suitcase would not belong to him.
It wasn't long before sporadic footsteps rang out, and Ricko walked past Donner's door.
She glanced inside and winked mischievously, and Donner grimaced at her as well.
However, neither of them had any more communication, and they had planned it before they got on the boat, pretending not to know each other.
A few hours later, several more young men came in, and then the magic ship moved without warning.
There were sporadic discussions in the hallway, and it seemed that some people thought that it was a bit hasty to set off like this, but no one came out to give them an explanation.
Donner naturally didn't care about this, he knew his current situation much better than those young people.
As dinner approached, Donner was drawn to the sound of an argument in the hallway. He came to the door, looked left and right, and sure enough, Ruiko was in the room next to him. The two made a knowing look at each other before going to see the crowd where the quarrel was taking place.
Several young mages were surrounding a slender old woman pushing a cart in front of her, apparently loaded with food.
"Is there any mistake? Just give us this kind of food?"
"It's too much! Is this something for people to eat?"
A richly dressed young man with curly blond hair simply knocked over the lunch box that had been distributed to him on the ground.
The old woman, who was surrounded by everyone, looked blank and didn't seem to realize what was happening. (To be continued.) )
