Chapter 82: The Secret of Pushing the Boat with the Current
Transfiguration is an extremely handy form of magic.
His Majesty the King once used it when he tried the mood potion for Mogan in the mountains, and said that it was very cost-effective and quite recommended.
And Mogan correspondingly witnessed the effect at that time.
Book knowledge is very different from practical knowledge.
He also knew that the barrier itself would disappear the moment the energy source of the transfiguration maintenance magic left the barrier, which was indeed quite convenient.
Bruno's description corresponds to the nature of the magic, as well as the results of observations.
"So, a psychic mage manipulated the crew of the cargo ship, asking them to peddle magical plants containing dangerous spores in the harbor, while using transfiguration and stealth to hide the ship's tracks from the outside."
His Majesty looked down and figured out the causes and consequences of the cargo ship himself, and the results were not far from the same—it was evident that he was not averse to such a process.
"What does such a person want to do......
It's just that he is missing one major factor after all.
"There is another person who is associated with the incident. If you find him, you should also be able to get clues to the Mind Mage. Mogan explained what he knew, "Wait a minute, I need to ask you to help me find Everlist." ”
Lucifer was surprised by Mogan's sudden mention of this man, "You mean the archmage of the Kingdom of Cole...... And what does he have to do with this? ”
When he used the Stardust Crystal Ball before, Mogan abruptly mentioned the name of the great magician, and Lucifer also showed that he had a basic understanding of this person.
But that's more of a topic brought up in passing, and it's not an exaggeration to explain that Lucifer gives an example of the great wizard Winter, and then uses the topic to play.
Now that the topic is brought up again, Mogan doesn't plan to continue to hide it after all.
But there has to be a premise.
"Then again, is it possible for the space-time ore to break free from its shackles and leave the form that limits its spatial position after the cargo ship decays?"
"You're really playing with its idea again." Lucifer was stunned for a moment, and then he realized, "There is this possibility, but there is a time limit, it depends on the ...... of the final cargo ship"
Before Lucifer could finish speaking, he heard the words "time limit", and Magan immediately made a decision, and even interrupted Lucifer's explanation very politely.
"Fly over."
Then Mogan immediately cast a spell, transforming into the body of a half-dragon, growing black wings.
Savvy businessmen don't miss any opportunity to make a profit. He originally wanted to change again and bring His Majesty the King with him, but Lucifer, who realized this, did not hesitate for long, so he silently recited the incantation and flew into the air.
Orthodox flying magic is one of the intermediate magic contents of wind type magic. Similar to it, the broomstick flight, which is part of life magic, is more widely known as "flying magic", but after all, there are item limitations.
Flying magic at any time is also more mana drain on the mage, but it is still not a problem for His Majesty.
"Grande, you haven't made it clear yet, what does Grand Magician Everest have to do with this?"
Lucifer was very serious, and even knew that Mogan was going to pick out the problem of time and space ore after he was very happy, and took the initiative to mention it again.
The king seems to be addicted to this kind of detective game that goes to the bottom of it, and Mogan is a little angry for a while.
He had more or less mastered the knack for appealing to His Majesty the Honorable King—providing magical questions, or puzzles as intricate as a Rubik's Cube.
But there's really nothing else to do on the road.
"Everist appeared very early, he was a true 'knight' sent by the Kingdom of Cole. Even Austin's tsunami in the harbor was in his planning. "Mogan spoke slowly, "He's the fisherman who started the conversation of the sharks, and he's also a fisherman hired by the Blue Eagle Pirates. ”
Lucifer's expression froze. To be so surprised by His Majesty made Mogan feel a little more accomplished.
But he didn't continue to sell off.
"If I'm not mistaken, the tsunami was created to spy on the ships hidden by the Transfiguration - in his capacity as a water mage, if you don't help, I'm afraid he will be able to suppress the tsunami."
Very well understood.
When the tsunami hits and the waves roll over, the inside of the ship will naturally be aware of it, and everyone's attention will be focused on the beach in the distance, even if they have to run.
There are a large number of ships anchored in the harbor, and almost all of the remaining crew members have the first instinct to come out and find a way to protect the vulnerable ships, or to flee for their lives.
The only thing that is shrouded in Transfiguration is different.
Even if a crew member escaped, it looked like an empty ship. And even if there were other empty ships outside of it that happened to be left behind by careless owners, they would be in the minority after all.
This is an important way to directly target the range of suspicious targets from the chaotic and large number of ships in the harbor, without being easily detected by the owner of the ship, who is also a mage, except that the situation, battle, and consumption level are too exaggerated.
Also bitter for Austin who swallowed juice raw.
Judging these facts, Mogan, who felt sorry for the money of others, had already prepared impeachment materials in his mind.
Lucifer's eyes flickered uncertainly, "He discovered the identity of the Austin Shark and used it as a guide...... It's about creating a logical situation. Although it is possible, will he find me in the process? ”
His Majesty the King is also a wise man.
Not only did he quickly realize these unstated points, but he also came to other conclusions on his own.
"It's not impossible." Mogan touched his chin awkwardly, "But I'm not sure." ”
Disappeared without a trace at the time, and then quickly changed scenes in order to return to observe, whether Everlist, who was in the harbor, could detect who was secretly attacking the beach, this was his knowledge blind spot.
Lucifer himself proposed this possibility, but the clues are too sassy to be sure, but in the end he still gives the simplest conclusion - there is indeed this possibility.
After saying these words, the two also arrived before Mogan looked at the base points around the small boat to confirm the bottom position of the finished cargo ship.
Without further ado, Mogan transforms into a full black dragon form directly in the air, while His Majesty manipulates the currents with water magic, exploring whether the waves at the bottom of the ocean can move the runaway ore that sinks with the wreckage.
"Feasible."
Hearing these two words, Mogan felt a shock in his heart and immediately flew above the sea.
Lucifer hesitated, "But I'll warn you that space-time ore is not usually a complete tradable object - because after it comes into contact with a certain environment and is fixed, it can't move again. ”
“……”
The pattern of the dragon's vocalizations will make the sound surprisingly rich, with a special reverberation, although it is very in line with the personality of the dragon clan and is complacent about it, but as Mogan, he does not like to speak in this situation.
I'll be a little embarrassed.
So Mogan nodded, and gestured that he had no problem with the space-time crystals that could not be used as trades.
- His Majesty was too tender in his understanding of the merchants, and stopped at buying and selling, and he didn't expect that Mogan's mind was full of flowers.
Not to mention how much potential value there is in a rare object, even if it is used for exhibition and marketed under the name of "a rare time and space ore in a century", Mogan can give him the commercial value of creating an empty glove white wolf alive.
With the cooperation of the force, the space-time ore was wrapped and washed by the current and carried above the sea level, and Mogan swooped down to the surface of the water, and with a precise claw, he grabbed the ore itself.
For the human body, this space-time ore is a bit ostentatious, but for the dragon, it is just right for one claw, and it is a little heavy at most.
"You don't want to hold on to it, do you......"
Lucifer was still worried about whether Mogan would be obsessed with selling the space-time ore and wanted to explain.
"Then ask our Majesty the King to help find a safe spot in the mountains on the southern side of the Lightersmann Mountains to settle this space-time ore."
Eventually, he spoke, and Mogan gave His Majesty, who was more inclined to keep his head down, a weighty task, which diverted Lucifer's attention.
He couldn't help but add, "Don't be too far, I may not be able to support it." ”
The space-time ore is not only a matter of whether it is heavy or not, but Mogan also vaguely feels a wonderful magic fluctuation from it, which gradually affects him in contact.
It's like it's heating up, but it's not.
- This may be the reason why Lucifer originally wanted to extend the explanation and persuade Mogan not to let him support it all the time.
From two people to one man and one dragon, Mogan took the space-time ore and followed Lucifer to the depths of the mountains.
"Here."
Lucifer suddenly froze in midair.
Near the town of Windsor, high in the mountains in the distance, there is a valley below.
Seeing the location of this valley, Mo Gan even chuckled in his heart, mainly because this place was really close to his own treasure house - he and His Majesty the King had seen something similar to him, and found a similar location for hiding things.
His absolutely secret base.
But it was really the best area for him to find......
Morgan was suddenly very weak-hearted, but fortunately, the location chosen by the king was a large mountain range, not specially designated, so he could secretly turn his target to the one next to his treasure valley and land slowly.
Throwing the space-time ore in the middle of the valley, Mogan then rose again, gliding away more than a dozen meters, destroying countless rattan trees before turning back into a human form.
"Why is this space-time ore hot?"
Finally able to speak like a normal person, Mogan took care of it briefly, returned to normal, and then had the strength to ask Lucifer, who also landed and came over to meet him.
"It's not heat." Lucifer looked at the space-time ore that was now unreserved and appeared as a whole, "It is in a state of activation, and it will naturally affect the people and things around it. It's a subtle change. ”
"If you hadn't fished it out of the sea......"
Lucifer turned to look at him, "Then it might stay there forever and affect the surrounding sea." The exact extent is uncertain, but the scope of the impact should be similar to the size of the space on the cargo ship. ”
The reason why an ancient cargo ship was able to carry such an object was probably because it was large enough.
And Lucifer didn't expect to imitate this approach, because even if he searched the entire port of Saint-Lun, there was no giant ship with enough space as the black cargo ship before.
Mogan took a breath. With such an eternal guarantee, he wasn't sure if it was a good or bad thing that he finally put the space-time ore near his treasure trove according to Lucifer.
But he didn't have the time to think about it so much.
Because the sound of artillery sounded again in the distance, as it had been a few days ago, and in bursts and in succession.
The two of them hurried to the mountain first, condescending to find the source of the sound—the direction was not even on the seashore, but completely on land, accompanied by fire.
"This direction...... It's the town of Apols! ”
