Chapter 107: Drifting (I)

"No, I only have a map on the road, it's too far from the mainland, I'm afraid it's almost two thousand miles. Rex took out the food, and the rest of the people had no appetite except for Sika.

"Daniel, do you have any charts?"

"No, when I was in business, I hadn't seen any charts here. Daniel shook his head. He was not a professional sailor, and he relied on the sun to find directions during the day, but at night, he could not read star charts.

"How far have we gone?"

"I don't know, without a magic compass, it's inaccurate to rely on feeling. Daniel replied cautiously.

"If a group of Krakens come now, we're going to die. Salin looked at the puppet rocking the oars in front of him and said worriedly. In fact, not to mention the Kraken, even a finless whale will make them unlucky.

The sun went down, the wind grew stronger, and the waves got higher and higher. Saleen had to close the hatch and look out the window to see the two puppets on the deck being beaten by the waves.

On the sea ahead, dozens of giant beasts leaped up, their bodies shining silver and white by the moonlight. Daniel saw that Salin and Rex were nervous, and hurriedly stopped their intention to make a move: "Don't worry, that's the Moonlight Singer." ”

"Moonlight Singer?" Salin looked through the porthole at the behemoth that had fallen into the sea, amazed. This beast is not very pretty, but he has long been famous. Fishermen by the sea believe that the moonlight singers are left behind by the goddess to protect them. These sea monsters are very friendly to humans, and they will communicate messages to each other with a high-pitched and crisp voice. Keen to follow fishing boats, fishermen will often give these monsters some small fish and pray for safety.

When Salin was very young, he had heard fishermen describe this beast, and in the fishermen's mouth, it seemed to be perfect, with beautiful skin, elegant body, and pure eyes.

In fact, what Salin saw was the fine, sharp teeth in the beast's mouth. This thing eats meat. This made him unable to comprehend that the original name of the Moonlight Singer was actually Scaleless Shark. This thing is somewhat shark-like, larger and has no scales. They like to be in groups and don't care even if they encounter magical beasts that are more powerful than them. Scaleless sharks are very united, and they are born to indulge in the water elemental, and the magician suspects that they have intelligence, otherwise how can they save people.

Many books have recorded the actions of the scaleless shark to save people, and there are even people who have fallen into the sea who have been sent thousands of miles by the scaleless shark to reach the land before leaving.

"It seems that we are lucky. Rex looked at the scaleless shark and breathed a sigh of relief. In the vicinity of the scaleless shark, there will be no powerful demonic beasts, the third and fourth level demonic beasts are the prey of the scaleless shark, and when encountering a powerful enemy, the scaleless shark will attack it in groups.

"Is that lucky?" Salin grabbed the bread, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed hard.

"At least we're alive. ”

Rex's words left Saleen speechless, and he reacted quickly enough that it was pure luck that he was able to escape. Two sixth-level magicians and one seventh-level magician were gone, and if their group were on the boat, the enemy would not give them any chance. The other magicians on the ship trusted Alchemy City too much, and never thought that anyone would dare to attack Alchemy City. Thinking of Sandru who fell into the water and called for help, Saleen was a little apologetic.

The best outcome for that guy was that he was rescued by the enemy and taken prisoner, and Rex was right, he was lucky. Escape every time you encounter a powerful enemy. Recalling the giant ship that appeared after the magical image, Salin still couldn't help but shiver in his heart. That thing was made by humans?

He knew that if the ship was built that big, it would be able to install a magic cannon on it. The magic cannon is different from the magic stone cannon, the magic stone cannon can deal with the hunting ship at most, and the magic cannon can directly blast through the metal armor of the ironclad ship. Alchemy City is because of a ship equipped with a magic cannon, so that the fleet of the Yunliu Empire does not dare to go north.

Now that the rest of the people have this ability, Alchemy City is no longer safe.

"Salin, do you want to continue east?" asked Daniel, uneasy. To the west is land, and they are just a small boat ten meters long, which can be torn apart by a storm at any time at sea.

"Go north, and then west in three days. Salin didn't explain why, he had a gut feeling that the giant ship attacking the hunting ship was controlling a huge area, and the flying golem was still searching the sky for fish that had slipped through the net. As long as it is detected by a flying golem, even if the golem can be destroyed, the enemy will be able to find their bearings. The other party is a big ship, with a magic compass, and the speed is much faster than his own small boat. The alchemy machine lost power, and it couldn't compete with the speed of the battleship by relying on the double oars.

The scaly shark played around Saleen's boat for a while, then swam south. The sky was full of stars, and Saleen was not in the mood to appreciate it, and he said to Daniel: "Teach me to take the helm." ”

"I can stand it. Daniel's loyal face showed gratitude.

"I have something else for you to do. Sika, you also come to study, and sleep after learning. ”

"And what am I going to do?" Rex didn't care about Saleen giving orders, instead asking about his mission.

"You try to rest as much as possible, in case you encounter a powerful demonic beast, we will rely on you. ”

"That'...... I slept. Rex looked at Salin's cold eyes, feeling a little strange, Saleen's person is not usually very shrewd, but he is extremely calm in the moment of life and death. He was the first to spot the danger, and immediately grabbed a boat and ran away, without even thinking about supporting Juno.

As it turned out, if Rex went to Juno's aid, it would have been a tragic end. She is the lord of the Imperial County, and she used to do almost everything herself, and there was nothing in Kushui County that she didn't need to ask. Now with someone like Saleen, she suddenly relaxed.

Saleen is not the kind of person who is reckless, and if there is a problem that cannot be solved, he will come back to Rex for help. Rex was most satisfied with this, and Saleen knew how far he could go. Most of the magicians under her are focused on cultivating magic, and the people with strong ability to handle affairs make her not very reassured, and the power of those people is too high.

Saleen doesn't have that kind of **, he's even more obsessed with magic than Rex.

If his father was still alive, would he like Saleen more now, right?, remembering what his father had said to him, Rex's heart was sour. Father was not mistaken, Saleen was a person who could be cultivated, but he couldn't see this day anymore.

It's not complicated to run the boat, Daniel patiently pointed to Saleen and Sika, Saleen personally experimented with the rudder for a while, Daniel said that there was no problem, and then he said: "Daniel, the necromancer will refine bone weapons, right?"

"Yes, if I have enough magic cores, I can barely complete it even though I am still level three. ”

"Okay, then you go and rest, tomorrow you can find a way to refine another boat, which can carry two people. ”

"We have a boat. Daniel didn't understand what Saleen meant.

"In case this ship is destroyed, I'm not afraid of water, are you afraid? We don't have the power of alchemy machinery, and we don't know how long it will take to return to land, and now we can only discern the general direction, and maybe we will drift far away. There are so many monsters in the sea that I can't guarantee that this ship will be okay all the time. You can refine a small boat that can protect you and Sika. ”

"That'...... What about Nellis?" Daniel was honest this time and didn't ask Rex how he was.

"She, like me, can't drown. Of course, Salin will not explain Nellis's ability to Daniel, Neris is indeed not afraid of water, she has one more advantage over Salin, she is not afraid of low temperatures. Saleen also needs to use magic to maintain her body temperature from time to time in the water, and Neris dares to ignore the temperature of the sea.

Daniel can't do it, if he falls into the water, he will freeze to death if he doesn't drown.

Daniel didn't say anything more, took the blanket that Saleen had given him, and lay down by the window, trying to sleep as much as he could. He is a third-level mage, and his recovery ability is not as good as Salin's, and if he stays up continuously, he will soon lose his combat effectiveness. He knew the dangers of the sea, and this place had long gone beyond the scope of safe routes. A lifeboat can withstand a few days.

"Sika, you watch first, I'll sleep for a while, and you call me in four hours. Saleen handed the steering wheel to Sika, knowing that neither he nor Sika would be able to get the right direction in his haste to learn. But even Daniel didn't look at the star map, he only hoped that the boat wouldn't stray too far from the mainland.

Salin walked towards Neris, and in such an environment, he could only be sure if he slept next to Neris. Naris lay down beside Rex, and Saleen walked up to him, and Rex whispered, "Salin, come here, let's talk for a while." ”

"Hmm. Salin pulled Neris away with his feet and lay down between the two men. The fragrance on Rex's body is fresh, if there is none, Salin now knows that this is a high-level magic potion, and it only needs a little control from Rex to turn into a hidden smell and blend in with the surrounding environment.

"Saleen, you never seem to be afraid. Rex simply used a small area of silent enchantment to isolate the rest of the group. Shika held the steering wheel, and suddenly he couldn't hear the voices of Saleen and Rex, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"I'm afraid it's useless, damn it or will die. Unlike you, I barely had a good day, and if I die, I am not lucky. Seeing that there was a silent enchantment, Salin did not hide his feelings.

"Don't you care about your teacher and Shika?" Rex said in a quiet tone, and Salin thought he had misheard.

"If I hadn't survived, I wouldn't have been a teacher's student. Sika, in fact, I should have sent her back to the Caucasus, and if she followed me, she would often encounter danger. I seem to be very unlucky, and sooner or later it will affect her. ”

"Are you willing to let her go?"

"What's there to be reluctant towards? If I die suddenly, she'll be very sad. If I lived...... She will definitely become a great magician, and she will have a lifespan of a thousand years, and I will miss her when the time comes. ”

"You're a man...... Don't you feel like Schika likes you very much?" Rex said softly, wondering why he asked.

"Is there such a thing?" Salin was surprised, he suddenly remembered that in the palace of Holy Rock City, he broke into Sika's room and was hit on the bridge of his nose by Sika's toothbrush. At that time, Sika's face was red and he didn't look angry.
