228. Going to sea to explore the caves

Five days later, everything was ready, and Li Nuo officially followed Headway out to sea and went to the Mossy Blue Cave to search for the dragon collection.

If the trip goes well, Li Nuo estimates that he can return to the Suman Islands with a few million energy reserves.

Before leaving, Li Nuo cleaned up the bounty tasks and wanted warrants from Jennara, and also got the 2.64 million gold coins he deserved from Selena.

At the moment when Leno and Hedaway boarded the ship, the total amount of cash he deposited with Dinas amounted to 3.7 million gold coins.

This money was enough for him to buy a decent island in the inner circle, but it was still a long way from his plan to kill the Ten Rings Battle Wizard in seconds.

If there is a chance to loot the small treasury of the butler Bauer, then Li Nuo will be able to fill the gap in the funds of the Ten Rings Battle Wizard in seconds.

Li Nuo planned to think about the plan to plunder the small treasury after the energy required for the spike plan was ready.

This requires him to seize the time to search for dragon treasures in the mossy blue hole.

"Headway, your ship is smaller than I expected, can it withstand the winds and waves of the deep sea?"

Li Nuo followed Headway on the dock, passing one tall magical mechanical ship after another, and finally stopped in front of the magic yacht that was six meters high, four meters wide, and no more than ten meters long.

This is the ship that Headway uses to go to sea, a magical yacht.

Sandwiched between a number of magical mechanical ships, it looks like a baby boat.

It was thin, small, short, and far less poised than the magical mechanical ship that stood more than twenty meters tall next to it.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Nuo deconstructed a lot of memories related to going to sea from Headway, and in these memories, the other party drove this ship to sea, then it would be difficult for Li Nuo to believe that this ship could resist the harsh environment of the deep sea.

"Don't underestimate my ship, Jarvis." Headway lifted the magic lock and magic alarm from the magic yacht, and took Leno across the gangway and onto the deck:

"In the deep sea, especially in the Starfall Sea, which is close to the Flying Continent, the smaller the size and the more flexible the ship, the more it can avoid the dangers of the sea. If there is a marine disaster of magnitude seven or eight, those big magic mechanical ships can only float on the surface of the sea and hold on, but my boat can dive into the sea water and avoid dangerous marine disasters underwater. ”

Standing on the silver-white metal deck, Li Nuo threw deconstruction at the inside and outside of the cabin.

According to the feedback from the system, although the ship is not large and looks a little thin, the metal used is all magic metal, and the item level is not low.

According to gross estimates, such a ship may cost millions of gold coins to buy. If you want to dive into the sea with a boat, you have to customize a set of magic arrays and magic devices for diving, which is a lot of money.

Li Nuo patted Bang Bang's hard metal railing and said:

"You've spent a lot of time and money on this ship, Headway."

"That's natural, it's what I use to make money, the only thing I rely on at sea."

Headway stepped into the cabin, walked through the somewhat narrow aisle, and ushered Leno into the guest room:

"Well, this is where you're staying. I've cleaned the room and set up a bed that can be adjusted in height and softness. Behind the door on the wall is a separate bathroom. The ship's magic water purifier and magic boiler will provide clean hot water 24 hours a day. Clean up yourself, I'm going to the middle deck to warm up the magic engine. ”

Headway scratched his beard and introduced him to the guest room, before turning to leave, stepping into the stairwell that led down the floor.

Leno examines the interior of the house with deconstruction. He was just about to sit down by the window and wait for his journey when he heard a low roar coming from under the floor.

Li Nuo activated the "Life and Death Tracking" and looked at it, Headway was tinkering with the magic engine downstairs.

The low roar came from the magic engine.

Li Nuo thought for a moment, stood up, walked out of the room, and walked down the stairs to the middle deck.

The noise in his ears became more and more pronounced, drowning out his footsteps.

Li Nuo came to the door of the power room where the magic engine was located, and shouted to the figure inside:

"Headway! Mind if I come in and have a look? ”

Headway turned his head, looked at the door with his glasses for farsightedness, waved his hand casually, and shouted:

"Please! But don't touch anything here! They come with magic locks and will sound an alarm! ”

With Hideaway's permission, Li Nuo stepped into the power room, looking left and right at the place covered in magical metal pipes and magic circles.

So far, Li Nuo has come into contact with a total of four types of ships related to magic.

The metal wizard's hemispherical magic ship.

A magical mechanical ship converted from a steam mechanical ship.

An emergency ship created by the deep-sea spell "Magic Shipbuilding".

and the magic yacht in which he is located at the moment.

If you include the magic sampan that he keeps in his magic pocket and acts as a means of contingency, there are five types of magic-related ships.

These five types of boats have one thing in common. They all use the method of "magic to mechanical energy" to provide the driving force for the ship.

The magic engine is where the magic power in the magic stone is cast.

The magic enters the metal pipes from the magic engine and into the magic circle that spews water.

The ship on the magic side was able to move forward in the reaction of the jets of water.

The low roar from before was the movement of the magic stone in the magic engine beginning to cast magical power.

This magic stone has an extremely high energy density and is designed for heavy-duty magical installations, and is filled by high-ring wizards.

The magic it possesses is the second most common magic in the Suman Islands - water magic.

The most common magic in the Suman Islands is the magic of the deep sea.

So why not use the magic of the deep sea to unleash the current?

The liquid generated by water mana is pure water.

Water magic cast with water magic is not corrosive.

The water magic itself does not negatively affect the patterns of the magic circle or the metal pipes.

The liquid generated by the Depths of the Sea is usually Deepsea water, and the Deep-Sea Magic it casts is inherently corrosive.

In the process of transmitting the magic of the deep sea, both the magic circle and the metal pipes will be corroded.

Normally, the magic of the deep is only used as a source of power for ships in an emergency.

More often than not, water magic is the best choice to power the boat.

The higher the level of the Deep Sea Wizard in the Deep Chamber, the greater their ability to convert deep sea water into fresh water.

Reaching the level of Selena's Nine-Ring Deep Sea Witch, the deep sea water she summoned is not corrosive, only saltier than fresh water.

Headway is a five-ring deep sea wizard, not a combat wizard.

His ability to convert deep-sea water into freshwater is limited.

There are two powertrains in the powerhouse.

One is powered by a magic engine that powers water, and the other is powered by Hedway's deep sea mana in an emergency.

The external difference between these two sets of power systems is reflected in the different thicknesses of the metal pipes.

The metal pipes that transport the magic of the Deep are thicker and stronger, reaching an item level of 50, which is much higher than the metal pipes that carry the magic of the water.

This shows how corrosive the magic of the deep sea is.

Could the wizard himself who contains the magic of the deep sea be affected by the corrosive effects of the magic of the deep sea?

There will be a little bit of it, but it is generally controllable and relatively safe.

Headway graduated from the Deep Sea Branch, where he learned the "Tide Surge" meditation method, which Selena mastered.

This meditation method improves the wizard's ability to purify the deep seawater, greatly weakening the negative effects of deep sea magic on the spirit.

With it, wizards can expend the magic of the deep sea and extract fresh water from the deep sea.

If the "Tide Surge" meditation method advocates removing the corrosiveness from the deep seawater, then the "Deep Sea Scales" meditation method used by the Fear Sail Pirate Nation is actively withstanding the corrosiveness.

When activated, the Scales of the Deep meditation will allow people to grow scales, strengthening their resistance to corrosion and increasing their flexibility in water.

When cultivating this meditation method, the more seawater you absorb, the higher the improvement in physical fitness, and the harder the scales on your body.

If you are injured, you can also quickly heal by absorbing deep sea water.

Because of this characteristic, the deep sea has become a paradise for the pirate nation of the terror. As long as they are immersed in the deep seawater, the pirates will continue to use the sea water to repair their injuries.

Li Nuo has the "Deep Sea Scales" meditation method in his hand, which covers the cultivation content from the first ring to the fourth ring.

This meditation method was obtained after he killed the wanted criminal.

At the same time as the "Scales of the Deep", it was the magic book "The Secret Book of the DeepΒ·Β· Upper Volume.

From this book, Leno deconstructed three broken spell blueprints:

"Deep Sea Exploration", 10% completeness, high-level spells, can detect the surrounding terrain in the deep sea.

This spell works wonders in both shimmer and dull bands.

Its spell flaw is that its cast cost is increased to 10 times, and it consumes 1 Soul Power and 10 Energy per minute. The effect of the upgrade is to increase the detection range.

The second spell is "Deep Sea Swimming", which has 20% completeness, and is a regular spell that cannot be upgraded.

It counteracts some of the resistance of the sea water and enhances the explosiveness of short-distance swimming.

Its spell flaw is that its cast cost is increased by 5 times.

"Deep Sea Scubum", 20% integrity, regular spells, cannot be upgraded. This spell is specifically designed to breathe in the deep sea.

Spell flaws are the same as "Deep Sea Swimming".

Deep Sea spells can also be cast with Deep Sea Magic instead of Soul Strength.

As long as Li Nuo rushes the [Deep Sea Scales] meditation method to level 90, he will be able to extract deep sea magic from the deep sea.

The bad news is that since the Scales of the Deep meditation method is only 20% complete, his efficiency at extracting deep sea magic is relatively low, one-fifth of what it would normally be.

The good news is that the Scales of the Deep meditation does not lift the "spirit".

Its primary attribute is the same as "Metal Fusion", which is "Will", and its secondary attributes are "Tenacity" and "Dexterity".

If it weren't for the fact that cultivating it required Li Nuo to soak in the seawater, then Li Nuo would have already started cultivating.

Oh, by the way, the breathing method given by the Calm Knight Kaida can also absorb the magic of the deep sea, but it is far less efficient than the wizard's meditation method.

"Bang." The power output floodgates of the magic engine were opened by Hideway.

The magic engine was warmed up, and the water magic poured into the metal pipes, lighting up the magic lines in the power chamber.

For a moment, the light of aqua blue energy permeated the power room, and the low humming roar became restrained and stable.

"That's it!" Headway clapped his big hand and beckoned to Li Nuo:

"Let's go, let's go to the control room!"

As he walked to the upper deck, Headway introduced to Li Nuo beside him:

"From now, fifteen hours at most, we'll be on the surface of the sea above the Mossy Blue Hole. As I told you before, Starfall is the territory of the Channar family. We're there to collect dragon treasures and need to spend money to buy passes. Halfway through, we'll come across the Channar family's sea checkpoint, and I'll be able to communicate with Chanar's wizard to make sure we can pass it smoothly. ”

Li Nuo nodded and said:

"No problem, Headway. By the way, can only the Starfall Sea of the Chanar family collect dragon treasures? Doesn't that mean that the Chanar family has made a lot of money? ”

"No, no, no, you don't know." Headway shook his hand repeatedly:

"All the seas surrounding the Flying Spin Continent have the opportunity to see the scene of the dragon treasure falling from the sky. Of these, only the seas near the Suman Islands are controlled by the Unas Ring, and the rest are in the hands of other wizarding realms. The Charnar family's Starfall Sea is open to all Unas Ring wizards. To the east of it, the Pure Light Court also controlled a large area of the sea, but no outsiders were allowed to enter there, and only the people of the Clear Light Court were allowed to enter and exit. ”

"I see." Leno and Headway stepped into the control room, stood in front of the console, and watched as the other drove the magic yacht out of the berth.

The magic yacht moved at a constant speed under the impetus of the water jet circle, both smoothly and quickly, and soon left the bustling harbor and entered the relatively empty offshore area.

The console's magic nautical instrument marked the course of the trip and the sea areas it passed, and also listed the fog threshold for each sea area. These are the nautical services that Headway buys from the Deep Sea Branch, which costs 500 gold coins per month.

Lenovo leaned over to the magical image of the Magic Nautical Apparatus and looked at it, and the route chosen by Headway was a regular route, and he could encounter many passing ships on the way.

Li Nuo's trip was a low-key trip, and he didn't want others to know that he had left the inner circle.

Before leaving, he changed his appearance by "disguised as a living corpse", and also wore glasses that covered his eyes.

Theoretically, as long as there were no people associated with Dikla Fagan in the passing ships, then no one would be able to detect it.

The premise, of course, is that Hyde is dignified and tight-lipped.

Li Nuo is not too worried about this.

After signing a magic contract with the other party to go to sea, Li Nuo signed a confidentiality contract with Headway as a wizard to assist in law enforcement.

With the double guarantee of contract and deconstruction, Leno can minimize the danger of Headway revealing his whereabouts.

Leno withdrew his gaze from the magic nautical instrument and chatted with Headway in the control room.

The topic gradually turned to the common sense necessary to go to sea.

Speaking of this, Headway's dry face with a large beard showed a very rare solemn look:

"Jarvis, the most important thing for you to do after getting into the water is not to run three meters away from me. The entrance to the Mossy Blue Cave, located 20 meters below the surface of the water. Our exploration in the Blue Hole will be much more difficult than if we were to fly upwards on the ground. The sinister undercurrent is our first enemy, and it will randomly appear in our path as a ferocious current that is difficult to resist. If you're not careful, you'll be swept away by the undercurrent, and you'll barely break free from the current until you've deviated from the course for twenty or thirty meters. ”

Hedway held the joystick of the ship in one hand and gestured in the air with the other, describing the dangers of the underwater undercurrent.

Li Nuo called up the spell panel of "Deep Sea Swimming", glanced at it, and asked:

"If I use the spell 'Deep Sea Swim', will I be able to break free from the undercurrent?"

Headway was stunned and looked at Li Nuo with wide eyes:

"Huh? What? Can you "swim in the deep sea"? Aren't you a death wizard? ”

Li Nuo shrugged slightly:

"When I captured the criminals of the Sail Pirate Nation, I found a magic book that recorded this spell. Luckily, the magic lock in the magic book happened to be lifted by the criminal, and then I learned it. Don't be surprised, I know magic. As long as I have an unlocked magic book, I can learn spells. ”

Headway's expression can be described as jaw dropping.

Having "mastery of magic" means that Li Nuo can pass the wizard student stage in a short period of time and become a four-ring wizard.

"Okay. Uh, okay. No wonder you asked me to sign a non-disclosure contract. ”

Headway shrunk his neck and glanced suspiciously at the white line on Li Nuo's neckline, which was the symbol of a wizard:

"As required by the contract, I will not divulge your secrets to the outside world. But to be honest, it's really strange that someone who has "mastered magic" is just a one-ring wizard. ”

Li Nuo smiled disapprovingly:

"It's not that I make people feel weird, Headway. In the final analysis, it is caused by the mismatch between the decree of the Unas Ring and reality. When judging the level of a wizard, Unas Ring only considered the size of the spiritual ocean, and did not take into account other factors, so it gave me the opportunity to exploit the loopholes.

"If you think about it, my situation is very similar to yours. What you're selling is genuine, but because fakes are more popular and legitimate, you make your real thing a fake in the eyes of others. Look at me again, I actually have a strength far beyond the six-ring battle wizard, but I was judged to be a one-ring wizard. We're both the product of deformed rules, right? ”

Headway scratched his head and muttered:

"Oh, it seems so."

"Uh, wait." Headway came back to his senses and looked at Li Nuo in amazement:

"You just said that your combat strength surpasses that of the Six-Ring Battle Wizard?!"

"There's nothing surprising that every wizard with a 'mastery of magic' can do that."

Li Nuo shook his hand and said:

"I just didn't practice meditation as hard as they did, and I was busy becoming a higher-level wizard. By doing so, I can take advantage of loopholes in the law, but I will also forgo the ability to extract magic, learn advanced magic, and have a bright future as a mentor at a magical research institute. ”

"So will you stay in the ring stage for the rest of your life?" Headway recovered from his amazement.

"It depends." Li Nuo didn't say much.

In fact, he had a verdict in his mind.

Only after he has the ability to kill the Ten Rings Battle Wizard in seconds will he consider improving his "spirit".

After all, once his "spirit" is high, he will have fewer people to launch a life-and-death duel, and the choice of "flipping the table" will also be reduced.

Thinking about it carefully, he will probably wait until the order here in the Suman Islands is stable enough and the Suman Islands become his foundation, and he will be promoted to a high-level wizard to strengthen his influence on the Suman Islands.

Going deeper, when to "flip the table" can't solve the problem, but the identity of a high-ring level wizard can, then Li Nuo will rush to the wizard level when he wants.

This kind of flexible regulation of wizards' levels and combat power is something that Li Nuo has been pondering recently.
